depositary ("DTC"), or its nominee who is hereby designated as "U.S. Depositary"

                  Section 204. Interest, Interest Rates and Interest Rate Modes.
The Notes will initially bear interest at the Initial Interest Rate as set forth
on Annex A thereof for the Initial Interest Rate Period. Thereafter, each Note
at the option of the Company will bear interest in the Commercial Paper Term
Mode, the Long Term Rate Mode or the MAPS Mode. Each Note may bear interest for
designated Interest Rate Periods in the same or a different Interest Rate Mode
from other Notes. The interest rate for the Notes will be established
periodically as described herein by the applicable Remarketing Agent.

                  Interest will be payable on any Note at Maturity and (i) in
the Initial Interest Rate Period, on the date or dates set forth on Annex A
thereto; (ii) for any Interest Rate Period in the Commercial Paper Term Mode, on
the Interest Rate Adjustment Date commencing the next succeeding Interest Rate
Period for such Note and on such other dates (if any) as will be established
upon conversion of such Note to the Commercial Paper Term Mode or upon
remarketing of the Note in a new Interest Rate Period in the Commercial Paper
Term Mode and set forth in the applicable Note; and (iii) in the Long Term Rate
Mode or MAPS Mode, no less frequently than semiannually on such dates as will be
established upon conversion of such Note to the Long Term Rate Mode or the MAPS
Mode (or upon remarketing of the Note in a new Interest Rate Period in the Long
Term Rate Mode or the MAPS Mode, as the case may be) and set forth in the
applicable Note in the case of a fixed interest rate, or as described below
under "Floating Interest Rates" in the case of a floating interest rate, and on
the Interest Rate Adjustment Date commencing the next succeeding Interest Rate
Period. Such interest will be payable to the Holder thereof as of the related
Record Date, which, for any Note (x) in the Initial Interest Rate Period, is the
date or dates set for therein; (y) in the Commercial Paper Term Mode, is the
Business Day prior to the related Interest Payment Date; and (z) bearing
interest in the Long Term Rate Mode or the MAPS Mode, is 15 days prior to the
related Interest Payment Date. Except as provided below under "Floating Interest
Rates," if any Interest Payment Date would otherwise be a day that is not a
Business Day, such Interest Payment Date will be postponed to the next
succeeding Business Day, and no interest will accrue on such payment for the
period from and after such Interest Payment Date to the date of such payment on
the next succeeding Business Day. Interest on Notes bearing interest in the
Commercial Paper Term Mode or at a floating interest rate during an Interest
Rate Period in the Long Term Rate Mode or the MAPS Mode will be computed on the
basis of actual days elapsed over 360; provided that, if an applicable Interest
Rate Basis is the CMT Rate or Treasury Rate (each as defined below), interest
will be computed on the basis of actual days elapsed over the actual number of
days in the year. Interest on Notes bearing interest at a fixed rate in the Long
Term Rate Mode or MAPS Mode will be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days
consisting of twelve 30-day months. Interest on Notes at the Initial Interest
Rate will be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days consisting of twelve
30-day months.

described in Section 207 hereof or otherwise not later than each Interest Rate
Adjustment Date for such Note as the minimum rate of interest and, in the case
of a floating interest rate, Spread (if any) and Spread Multiplier (if any)
necessary in the judgment of such Remarketing Agent to produce a par bid in the
secondary market for such Note on the date the interest rate is established.
Such rate will be effective for the next succeeding Interest Rate Period for
such Note commencing on such Interest Rate Adjustment Date.

                  In the event that (i) the applicable Remarketing Agent has
been removed or has resigned and no successor has been appointed, or (ii) such
Remarketing Agent has failed to announce the appropriate interest rate, Spread,
if any, or Spread Multiplier, if any, as the case may be, on the Interest Rate
Adjustment Date for any Note for whatever reason, or (iii) the appropriate
interest rate, Spread, if any, or Spread Multiplier, if any, as the case may be,
or Interest Rate Period cannot be determined for any Note for whatever reason,
then such Note shall be automatically converted to the Commercial Paper Term
Mode with a Weekly Rate Period, determined as provided below under "Interest
Rate Modes - Commercial Paper Term Period", and the rate of interest thereon
shall be equal to the Special Interest Rate.

                  The Trustee shall, upon request of any Beneficial Owner of a
Note, advise such Beneficial Owner or the applicable Remarketing Agent of the
interest rate and, in the case of a floating interest rate, the Interest Rate
Basis or Bases, Spread (if any) and Spread Multiplier (if any), and in each case
the other terms applicable to such Beneficial Owner's Notes for the next
Interest Rate Period. Neither the Trustee nor the Company will otherwise be
required to advise Beneficial Owners of the applicable interest rate. The
interest rate and other terms announced by the Remarketing Agent, absent
manifest error, will be binding and conclusive upon the Beneficial Owners, the
Company and the Trustee.

                  Floating Interest Rates.

                  While any Note bears interest in the Long Term Rate Mode or
the MAPS Mode (with respect to the period from, and including, the Interest Rate
Adjustment Date commencing such period to, but excluding, the MAPS Remarketing
Date), the Company may elect a floating interest rate by providing notice, which
will be in or promptly confirmed in writing (which includes facsimile or
appropriate electronic media), received by the Trustee and the Remarketing Agent
for such Note (the "Floating Interest Rate Notice") not less than ten (10) days
prior to the Interest Rate Adjustment Date for such Long Term Rate Period or
MAPS Rate Period. The Floating Interest Rate Notice must identify by CUSIP
number or otherwise the portion of the Note to which it relates and state the
Interest Rate Period (or portion thereof, in the case of the MAPS Mode) therefor
to which it relates. Each Floating Interest Rate Notice must also state the
Interest Rate Basis or Bases, the Initial Interest Reset Date, the Interest
Reset Period and Dates, the Interest Payment Period and Dates, the Index
Maturity and the Floating Rate Maximum Interest Rate and/or Floating Rate
Minimum Interest Rate, if any. If one or more of the applicable Interest Rate
Bases is LIBOR or the CMT Rate, the Floating Interest Rate Notice shall

                                       9

<PAGE>   11

also specify the Index Currency and Designated LIBOR Page or the Designated CMT
Maturity Index and Designated CMT Telerate Page, respectively.

                  If any Note bears interest at a floating rate in a Long Term
Rate Period or MAPS Rate Period, such Note shall bear interest at the rate
determined by reference to the applicable Interest Rate Basis or Bases (a) plus
or minus the Spread, if any, and/or (b) multiplied by the Spread Multiplier, if
any, specified by the Remarketing Agent, in the case of a Long Term Rate Period,
or the MAPS Agent, in the case of a MAPS Rate Period, and recorded in Annex A to
such Note. Commencing on the Interest Rate Adjustment Date for such Interest
Rate Period, the rate at which interest on such Note shall be payable shall be
reset as of each Interest Reset Date during such Interest Rate Period specified
in the applicable Floating Interest Rate Notice.

                  The applicable floating interest rate on any Note during any
Interest Rate Period will be determined by reference to the applicable Interest
Rate Basis or Interest Rate Bases, which may include (i) the CD Rate, (ii) the
CMT Rate, (iii) the Federal Funds Rate, (iv) LIBOR, (v) the Prime Rate, (vi) the
Treasury Rate, or (vii) such other Interest Rate Basis or interest rate formula
as may be specified in the applicable Floating Interest Rate Notice (each, an
"Interest Rate Basis").

                  Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Floating Interest
Rate Notice, the interest rate with respect to each Interest Rate Basis will be
determined in accordance with the applicable provisions below. Except as set
forth above or specified in the applicable Floating Interest Rate Notice, the
interest rate in effect on each day shall be (i) if such day is an Interest
Reset Date, the interest rate determined as of the Interest Determination Date
immediately preceding such Interest Reset Date or (ii) if such day is not an
Interest Reset Date, the interest rate determined as of the Interest
Determination Date immediately preceding the most recent Interest Reset Date. If
any Interest Reset Date would otherwise be a day that is not a Business Day,
such Interest Reset Date shall be postponed to the next succeeding Business Day,
except that if LIBOR is an applicable Interest Rate Basis and such Business Day
falls in the next succeeding calendar month, such Interest Reset Date shall be
the immediately preceding Business Day. In addition, if the Treasury Rate is an
applicable Interest Rate Basis and the Interest Determination Date would
otherwise fall on an Interest Reset Date, then such Interest Reset Date will be
postponed to the next succeeding Business Day.

                  The applicable Floating Interest Rate Notice will specify
whether the rate of interest will be reset daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly,
semiannually or annually or on such other specified basis (each, an "Interest
Reset Period") and the dates on which such rate of interest will be reset (each,
an "Interest Reset Date"). Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Floating
Interest Rate Notice, the Interest Reset Dates will be, in the case of a
floating interest rate which resets: (i) daily, each Business Day; (ii) weekly,
the Wednesday of each week (unless the Treasury Rate is an applicable Interest
Rate Basis, in which case the Tuesday of each week except as described below);
(iii) monthly, the third Wednesday of each month; (iv) quarterly, the third
Wednesday of March, June, September and December of each year, (v) semiannually,
the third Wednesday of the two months specified in the applicable Floating
Interest Rate Notice; and (vi) annually, the third Wednesday of the month
specified in the applicable Floating Interest Rate Notice.

                                       10

<PAGE>   12

                  The interest rate applicable to each Interest Reset Period
commencing on the related Interest Reset Date will be determined as of the
applicable Interest Determination Date. The "Interest Determination Date" with
respect to the Federal Funds Rate and the Prime Rate will be the Business Day
immediately preceding the applicable Interest Reset Date; the "Interest
Determination Date" with respect to the CD Rate and the CMT Rate will be the
second Business Day immediately preceding the applicable Interest Reset Date;
and the "Interest Determination Date" with respect to LIBOR shall be the second
London Business Day immediately preceding the applicable Interest Reset Date,
unless the Index Currency is British pounds sterling, in which case the
"Interest Determination Date" will be the applicable Interest Reset Date. The
"Interest Determination Date" with respect to the Treasury Rate shall be the day
in the week in which the applicable Interest Reset Date falls on which day
Treasury Bills (as defined below) are normally auctioned (Treasury Bills are
normally sold at an auction held on Monday of each week, unless such Monday is a
legal holiday, in which case the auction is normally held on the immediately
succeeding Tuesday, although such auction may be held on the preceding Friday);
provided, however, that if an auction is held on the Friday of the week
preceding the applicable Interest Reset Date, the "Interest Determination Date"
shall be such preceding Friday; provided, further, that if the Interest
Determination Date would otherwise fall on an Interest Reset Date, then such
Interest Reset Date will be postponed to the next succeeding Business Day. The
"Interest Determination Date" pertaining to any Note, the interest rate of which
is determined with reference to two or more Interest Rate Bases specified in the
applicable Floating Interest Rate Notice, shall be the most recent Business Day
which is at least two Business Days prior to the applicable Interest Reset Date
on which each Interest Rate Basis is determinable. Each Interest Rate Basis
shall be determined as of such date, and the applicable interest rate shall take
effect on the applicable Interest Reset Date.

                  Either or both of the following may also apply to the floating
interest rate on any Note for an Interest Rate Period: (i) a floating rate
maximum interest rate, or ceiling, that may accrue during any Interest Reset
Period (the "Floating Rate Maximum Interest Rate") and (ii) a floating rate
minimum interest rate, or floor, that may accrue during any Interest Reset
Period (the "Floating Rate Minimum Interest Rate"). In addition to any Floating
Rate Maximum Interest Rate that may apply, the interest rate on any Note will in
no event be higher than the maximum rate permitted by New York law, as the same
may be modified by United States laws of general application.

                  Except as provided below or in the applicable Floating
Interest Rate Notice, interest will be payable, in the case of floating interest
rates which reset: (i) daily, weekly or monthly, on the third Wednesday of each
month or on the third Wednesday of March, June, September and December of each
year, as specified in the applicable Floating Interest Rate Notice; (ii)
quarterly, on the third Wednesday of March, June, September and December of each
year; (iii) semiannually, on the third Wednesday of the two months of each year
specified in the applicable Floating Interest Rate Notice; and (iv) annually, on
the third Wednesday of the month of each year specified in the applicable
Floating Interest Rate Notice and, in each case, on the Business Day immediately
following the applicable Long Term Rate Period or MAPS Rate Period, as the case
may be. If any Interest Payment Date for the payment of interest at a floating
rate (other than following the end of the applicable Long Term Rate Period or
MAPS Rate Period, as the case may be) would otherwise be a day that is not a
Business Day, such Interest Payment Date will be postponed to the next
succeeding Business Day, except that if LIBOR is an

                                       11

<PAGE>   13

applicable Interest Rate Basis and such Business Day falls in the next
succeeding calendar month, such Interest Payment Date will be the immediately
preceding Business Day.

                  All percentages resulting from any calculation of floating
interest rates will be rounded to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a
percentage point, with five one-millionths of a percentage point rounded upwards
(e.g., 9.876545% (or .09876545) would be rounded to 9.87655% (or .0987655)), and
all amounts used in or resulting from such calculation will be rounded, in the
case of United States dollars, to the nearest cent or, in the case of a foreign
currency or composite currency, to the nearest unit (with one-half cent or unit
being rounded upwards).

                  Accrued floating rate interest will be calculated by
multiplying the principal amount of the applicable Note by an accrued interest
factor. Such accrued interest factor will be computed by adding the interest
factor calculated for each day in the applicable Interest Reset Period. Unless
otherwise specified in the applicable Floating Interest Rate Notice, the
interest factor for each such day will be computed by dividing the interest rate
applicable to such day by 360, if an applicable Interest Rate Basis is the CD
Rate, the Federal Funds Rate, LIBOR or the Prime Rate, or by the actual number
of days in the year if an applicable Interest Rate Basis is the CMT Rate or the
Treasury Rate. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Floating Interest
Rate Notice, if the floating interest rate is calculated with reference to two
or more Interest Rate Bases, the interest factor will be calculated in each
period in the same manner as if only one of the applicable Interest Rate Bases
applied as specified in the applicable Floating Interest Rate Notice.

                  Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Floating Interest
Rate Notice, The Bank of New York will be the "Calculation Agent." For any
Remarketed Note bearing interest at a floating rate, the applicable Remarketing
Agent will determine the interest rate in effect from the Interest Rate
Adjustment Date for such Remarketed Note to the Initial Interest Reset Date. The
Calculation Agent will determine the interest rate in effect for each Interest
Reset Period thereafter. Upon request of the Beneficial Owner of a Note, after
any Interest Rate Adjustment Date, the Calculation Agent or the Remarketing
Agent shall disclose the interest rate and, in the case of a floating interest
rate, Interest Rate Basis or Bases, Spread (if any) and Spread Multiplier (if
any), and in each case the other terms applicable to such Note then in effect
and, if determined, the interest rate that will become effective as a result of
a determination made for the next succeeding Interest Reset Date with respect to
such Note. Except as described herein with respect to a Note earning interest at
floating rates, no notice of the applicable interest rate, Spread (if any) or
Spread Multiplier (if any) shall be sent to the Beneficial Owner of any Note.

                  Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Floating Interest
Rate Notice, the "Calculation Date", if applicable, pertaining to any Interest
Determination Date will be the earlier of (i) the tenth calendar day after such
Interest Determination Date or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next
succeeding Business Day or (ii) the Business Day immediately preceding the
applicable Interest Payment Date or Maturity, as the case may be.

                  CD Rate. If an Interest Rate Basis for any Note is specified
in the applicable Floating Interest Rate Notice as the CD Rate, the CD Rate
shall be determined as of the applicable Interest Determination Date (a "CD Rate
Interest Determination Date") as the rate on

                                       12

<PAGE>   14

such date for negotiable United States dollar certificates of deposit having the
Index Maturity specified in the applicable Floating Interest Rate Notice as
published in H.15(519) (as defined below) under the heading "CDs (secondary
market)", or, if not so published by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the
related Calculation Date, the rate on such CD Rate Interest Determination Date
for negotiable United States dollar certificates of deposit of the Index
Maturity as published in H.15 Update (as defined herein), or such other
recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying such rate, under
the caption "CDs (secondary market)." If such rate is not yet published in
either H.15(519), H.15 Daily Update or another recognized electronic source by
3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, then the CD Rate
on such CD Rate Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the
Calculation Agent and will be the arithmetic mean of the secondary market
offered rates as of 10:00 A.M., New York City time, on such CD Rate Interest
Determination Date, of three leading nonbank dealers in negotiable United States
dollar certificates of deposit in The City of New York (which may include the
Remarketing Agent or its affiliates) selected by the Calculation Agent, after
consultation with the Company, for negotiable United States dollar certificates
of deposit of major United States money center banks for negotiable United
States dollar certificates of deposit with a remaining maturity closest to the
Index Maturity in an amount that is representative for a single transaction in
that market at that time; provided, however, that if the dealers so selected by
the Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the CD Rate
determined as of such CD Rate Interest Determination Date will be the CD Rate in
effect on such CD Rate Interest Determination Date.

                  "H.15(519)" means the weekly statistical release designated as
such, or any successor publication, published by the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System.

                  "H.15 Daily Update" means the daily update of H.15(519),
available through the world-wide-web site of the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System at http://www.bog.frb.fed.us/releases/h15/update, or any
successor site or publication.

                  CMT Rate. If an Interest Rate Basis for any Note is specified
in the applicable Floating Interest Rate Notice as the CMT Rate, the CMT Rate
shall be determined as of the applicable Interest Determination Date (a "CMT
Rate Interest Determination Date") as the rate displayed on the Designated CMT
Telerate Page (as defined below) under the caption "...Treasury Constant
Maturities...Federal Reserve Board Release H.15...Mondays Approximately 3:45
P.M.", under the column for the Designated CMT Maturity Index (as defined below)
for (i) if the Designated CMT Telerate Page is 7051, such CMT Rate Interest
Determination Date and (ii) if the Designated CMT Telerate Page is 7052, the
weekly or monthly average, as specified in the applicable Floating Interest Rate
Notice, for the week or the month, as applicable, ended immediately preceding
the week or the month, as applicable, in which the related CMT Rate Interest
Determination Date falls. If such rate is no longer displayed on the relevant
page or is not so displayed by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the related
Calculation Date, then the CMT Rate for such CMT Rate Interest Determination
Date will be such treasury constant maturity rate for the Designated CMT
Maturity Index as published in H.15(519). If such rate is no longer published or
is not published by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the related Calculation
Date, then the CMT Rate on such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date will be
such treasury constant maturity rate for the Designated CMT Maturity Index (or
other United States Treasury rate for the Designated CMT Maturity Index) for

                                       13

<PAGE>   15

the CMT Rate Interest Determination Date with respect to such Interest Reset
Date as may then be published by either the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System or the United States Department of the Treasury that the
Calculation Agent determines to be comparable to the rate formerly displayed on
the Designated CMT Telerate Page and published in H.15(519). If such information
is not provided by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the related Calculation
Date, then the CMT Rate on the CMT Rate Interest Determination Date will be
calculated by the Calculation Agent and will be a yield to maturity, based on
the arithmetic mean of the secondary market bid prices as of approximately 3:30
P.M., New York City time, on such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date reported,
according to their written records, by three leading primary United States
government securities dealers in The City of New York (which may include the
Remarketing Agent or its affiliates) (each, a "Reference Dealer") selected by
the Calculation Agent, after consultation with the Company, (from five such
Reference Dealers selected by the Calculation Agent, after consultation with the
Company, and eliminating the highest quotation (or, in the event of equality,
one of the highest) and the lowest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one
of the lowest)), for the most recently issued direct noncallable fixed rate
obligations of the United States ("Treasury Notes") with an original maturity of
approximately the Designated CMT Maturity Index and a remaining term to maturity
of not less than such Designated CMT Maturity Index minus one year. If the
Calculation Agent is unable to obtain three such Treasury Note quotations, the
CMT Rate on such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the
Calculation Agent and will be a yield to maturity based on the arithmetic mean
of the secondary market bid prices as of approximately 3:30 P.M., New York City
time, on such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date of three Reference Dealers in
The City of New York (from five such Reference Dealers selected by the
Calculation Agent, after consultation with the Company, and eliminating the
highest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the highest) and the
lowest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the lowest)), for
Treasury Notes with an original maturity of the number of years that is the next
highest to the Designated CMT Maturity Index and a remaining term to maturity
closest to the Designated CMT Maturity Index and in an amount of at least
U.S.$100 million. If three or four (and not five) of such Reference Dealers are
quoting as described above, then the CMT Rate will be based on the arithmetic
mean of the bid prices obtained and neither the highest nor the lowest of such
quotes will be eliminated; provided, however, that if fewer than three Reference
Dealers so selected by the Calculation Agent, after consultation with the
Company, are quoting as mentioned herein, the CMT Rate determined as of such CMT
Rate Interest Determination Date will be the CMT Rate in effect on such CMT Rate
Interest Determination Date. If two Treasury Notes with an original maturity as
described in the second preceding sentence have remaining terms to maturity
equally close to the Designated CMT Maturity Index, the Calculation Agent will
obtain quotations for the Treasury Note with the shorter remaining term to
maturity.

                  "Designated CMT Maturity Index" means the original period to
maturity of the U.S. Treasury securities (either 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 10, 20 or 30
years) specified in the applicable Floating Interest Rate Notice with respect to
which the CMT Rate will be calculated or, if no such maturity is specified in
the applicable Floating Interest Rate Notice, 2 years.

                  "Designated CMT Telerate Page" means the display on the Bridge
Telerate, Inc. (or any successor service) on the page specified in the
applicable Floating Interest Rate Notice (or any other page as may replace such
page on such service for the purpose of displaying

                                       14

<PAGE>   16

Treasury Constant Maturities as reported in H.15(519) or, if no such page is
specified in the applicable Floating Interest Rate Notice, page 7052.

                  Federal Funds Rate. If an Interest Rate Basis for any Note is
specified in the applicable Floating Interest Rate Notice as the Federal Funds
Rate, the Federal Funds Rate shall be determined as of the applicable Interest
Determination Date (a "Federal Funds Rate Interest Determination Date"), the
rate on such date for United States dollar federal funds as published in
H.15(519) under the heading "Federal Funds (Effective)", as such rate is
displayed on Bridge Telerate, Inc. or any successor service on page 120 (or any
other page as may replace such page on such service) ("Telerate Page 120"), or,
if such rate does not appear on Telerate Page 120 or is not so published by 3:00
P.M., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, the rate on such
Federal Funds Rate Interest Determination Date for United States dollar federal
funds as published in H.15 Daily Update, or such other recognized electronic
source used for the purpose of displaying such rate, under the caption "Federal
Funds (Effective)." If such rate does not appear on Telerate Page 120 or is not
yet published in H.15(519), H.15 Daily Update or another recognized electronic
source by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, then
the Federal Funds Rate on such Federal Funds Rate Interest Determination Date
will be calculated by the Calculation Agent and will be the arithmetic mean of
the rates for the last transaction in overnight United States dollar federal
funds arranged by three leading brokers of United States dollar federal funds
transactions in The City of New York (which may include the Remarketing Agent or
its affiliates) selected by the Calculation Agent, after consultation with the
Company, prior to 9:00 A.M., New York City time, on such Federal Funds Rate
Interest Determination Date; provided, however, that if the brokers so selected
by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the
Federal Funds Rate determined as of such Federal Funds Rate Interest
Determination Date will be the Federal Funds Rate in effect on such Federal
Funds Rate Interest Determination Date.

                  LIBOR. If an Interest Rate Basis for any Note is specified in
the applicable Floating Interest Rate Notice as LIBOR, LIBOR shall be determined
by the Calculation Agent as of the applicable Interest Determination Date (a
"LIBOR Interest Determination Date") in accordance with the following
provisions:

                  (i) With respect to any Interest Determination Date relating
to a Floating Rate Note for which the interest rate is determined with reference
to LIBOR (a "LIBOR Interest Determination Date"), LIBOR will be either: (a) if
"LIBOR Telerate" is specified in the applicable Floating Interest Rate Notice or
if neither "LIBOR Reuters" nor "LIBOR Telerate" is specified in the applicable
Floating Interest Rate Notice as the method for calculating LIBOR, the rate for
deposits in the Index Currency having the Index Maturity specified in the
applicable Floating Interest Rate Notice, commencing on such Interest Reset
Date, that appears on the Designated LIBOR Page as of 11:00 A.M., London time,
on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date; or (b) if "LIBOR Reuters" is
specified in the applicable Floating Interest Rate Notice, the arithmetic mean
of the offered rates (unless the Designated LIBOR Page by its terms provides
only for a single rate, in which case such single rate shall be used) for
deposits in the Index Currency having the Index Maturity specified in the
applicable Floating Interest Rate Notice, commencing on the applicable Interest
Reset Date, that appear (or, if only a single rate is required as aforesaid,
appears) on the Designated LIBOR Page as of 11:00 A.M., London time, on such
LIBOR Interest Determination Date. If fewer than two such offered rates so
appear, or

                                       15

<PAGE>   17

if no such rate so appears, as applicable, LIBOR on such LIBOR Interest
Determination Date will be determined in accordance with the provisions
described in clause (ii) below.

                  (ii) With respect to a LIBOR Interest Determination Date on
which fewer than two offered rates appear, or no rate appears, as the case may
be, on the Designated LIBOR Page as specified in clause (i) above, the
Calculation Agent will request the principal London offices of each of four
major reference banks (which may include affiliates of the Remarketing Agent) in
the London interbank market, as selected by the Calculation Agent, after
consultation with the Company, to provide the Calculation Agent with its offered
quotation for deposits in the Index Currency for the period of the Index
Maturity specified in the applicable Floating Interest Rate Notice, commencing
on the applicable Interest Reset Date, to prime banks in the London interbank
market at approximately 11:00 A.M., London time, on such LIBOR Interest
Determination Date and in a principal amount that is representative for a single
transaction in the Index Currency in such market at such time. If at least two
such quotations are so provided, then LIBOR on such LIBOR Interest Determination
Date will be the arithmetic mean of such quotations. If fewer than two such
quotations are so provided, then LIBOR on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date
will be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted at approximately 11:00 A.M., in
the applicable Principal Financial Center, on such LIBOR Interest Determination
Date by three major banks (which may include affiliates of the Remarketing
Agent) in such Principal Financial Center selected by the Calculation Agent,
after consultation with the Company, for loans in the Index Currency to leading
European banks, having the Index Maturity specified in the applicable Floating
Interest Rate Notice and in a principal amount that is representative for a
single transaction in the Index Currency in such market at such time; provided,
however, that if the banks so selected by the Calculation Agent are not quoting
as mentioned in this sentence, LIBOR determined as of such LIBOR Interest
Determination Date will be LIBOR in effect on such LIBOR Interest Determination
Date.

                  "Index Currency" means the currency specified in the
applicable Floating Interest Rate Notice as to which LIBOR shall be calculated
or, if no such currency is specified in the applicable Floating Interest Rate
Notice, United States dollars.

                  "Designated LIBOR Page" means (a) if "LIBOR Reuters" is
specified in the applicable Floating Interest Rate Notice, the display on the
Reuter Monitor Money Rates Service (or any successor service) on the page
specified in the applicable Floating Interest Rate Notice (or any other page as
may replace such page on such service) for the purpose of displaying the London
interbank rates of major banks for the Index Currency, or (b) if "LIBOR
Telerate" is specified in the applicable Floating Interest Rate Notice or
neither "LIBOR Reuters" nor "LIBOR Telerate" is specified in the applicable
Floating Interest Rate Notice as the method for calculating LIBOR, the display
on Bridge Telerate, Inc. (or any successor service) on the page specified in the
applicable Floating Interest Rate Notice (or any other page as may replace such
page on such service) for the purpose of displaying the London interbank rates
of major banks for the Index Currency.

                  Prime Rate. If an Interest Rate Basis for any Note is
specified on the face hereto as the Prime Rate, the Prime Rate shall be
determined as of the applicable Interest Determination Date (a "Prime Rate
Interest Determination Date") as the rate on such date as such rate is published
in H.15(519) under the caption "Bank Prime Loan" or, if not published by 3:00
P.M.,

                                       16

<PAGE>   18

New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, the rate on such Prime Rate
Interest Determination Date as published in H.15 Daily Update, or such other
recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying such rate under
the caption "Bank Prime Loan." If such rate is not yet published in H.15(519),
H.15 Daily Update or another recognized electronic source by 3:00 P.M., New York
City time, on the related Calculation Date, then the Prime Rate shall be the
arithmetic mean of the rates of interest publicly announced by each bank that
appears on the Reuters Screen US PRIME1 Page (as defined below) as such bank's
prime rate or base lending rate as of 11:00 A.M. New York City time, on such
Prime Rate Interest Determination Date. If fewer than four such rates so appear
on the Reuters Screen US PRIME1 Page for such Prime Rate Interest Determination
Date, then the Prime Rate shall be the arithmetic mean of the prime rates or
base lending rates quoted on the basis of the actual number of days in the year
divided by a 360-day year as of the close of business on such Prime Rate
Interest Determination Date by three major banks (which may include The Bank of
New York or affiliates of the Remarketing Agent) in The City of New York
selected by the Calculation Agent, after consultation with the Company;
provided, however, that if the banks or trust companies so selected by the
Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the Prime Rate
determined as of such Prime Rate Interest Determination Date will be the Prime
Rate in effect on such Prime Rate Interest Determination Date.

                  "Reuters Screen US PRIME1 Page" means the display on the
Reuter Monitor Money Rates Service (or any successor service) on the "US PRIME1"
page (or such other page as may replace the US PRIME1 page on such service) for
the purpose of displaying prime rates or base lending rates of major United
States banks.

                  Treasury Rate. If an Interest Rate Basis for any Note is
specified in the applicable Floating Interest Rate Notice as the Treasury Rate,
the Treasury Rate shall be determined as of the applicable Interest
Determination Date (a "Treasury Rate Interest Determination Date") as the rate
from the auction held on such Treasury Rate Interest Determination Date (the
"Auction") of direct obligations of the United States ("Treasury Bills") having
the Index Maturity specified in the applicable Floating Interest Rate Notice
under the caption "INVESTMENT RATE", on the display on Bridge Telerate, Inc. (or
any successor service) on page 56 (or any other page as may replace such page on
such service) ("Telerate Page 56") or page 57 (or any other page as may replace
such page on such service) ("Telerate Page 57") or, if not so published by 3:00
P.M., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, the Bond Equivalent
Yield (as defined below) of the rate for such Treasury Bills as published in
H.15 Daily Update, or such other recognized electronic source used for the
purpose of displaying such rate, under the caption "U.S. Government
Securities/Treasury Bills/Auction High" or, if not so published by 3:00 P.M.,
New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, the Bond Equivalent Yield
of the auction rate of such Treasury Bills as announced by the United States
Department of the Treasury. In the event that the auction rate of Treasury Bills
having the Index Maturity in the applicable Floating Interest Rate Notice is not
so announced by the United States Department of the Treasury, or if no such
Auction is held, then the Treasury Rate will be the Bond Equivalent Yield of the
rate on such Treasury Rate Interest Determination Date of Treasury Bills having
the Index Maturity specified in the applicable Floating Interest Rate Notice as
published in H.15(519) under the caption "U.S. Government Securities/Treasury
Bills/Secondary Market" or, if not yet published by 3:00 P.M., New York City
time, on the related Calculation Date, the rate on such Treasury Rate Interest
Determination Date of such Treasury Bills as published in H.15 Daily Update, or

                                       17

<PAGE>   19

such other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying such
rate, under the caption "U.S. Government Securities/Treasury Bills/Secondary
Market." If such rate is not yet published in H.15(519), H.15 Daily Update or
another recognized electronic source, then the Treasury Rate will be calculated
by the Calculation Agent and will be the Bond Equivalent Yield of the arithmetic
mean of the secondary market bid rates, as of approximately 3:30 P.M., New York
City time, on such Treasury Rate Interest Determination Date, of three primary
United States government securities dealers (which may include the Remarketing
Agent or its affiliates) selected by the Calculation Agent, after consultation
with the Company, for the issue of Treasury Bills with a remaining maturity
closest to the Index Maturity specified in the applicable Floating Interest Rate
Notice; provided, however, that if the dealers so selected by the Calculation
Agent are not quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the Treasury Rate
determined as of such Treasury Rate Interest Determination Date will be the
Treasury Rate in effect on such Treasury Rate Interest Determination Date.

                  "Bond Equivalent Yield" means a yield (expressed as a
percentage) calculated in accordance with the following formula:

                  Bond Equivalent Yield =         D x N
                                                  -----       X   100
                                               360 - (D x M)

                  where "D" refers to the applicable per annum rate for Treasury
Bills quoted on a bank discount basis, "N" refers to 365 or 366, as the case may
be, and "M" refers to the actual number of days in the applicable Interest Reset
Period.

                  Interest Rate Modes.

                  Commercial Paper Term Mode. The Interest Rate Period for any
Note in the Commercial Paper Term Mode shall be a period of not less than one
nor more than 364 consecutive calendar days, as determined by the Company (as
described below in Section 205) or, if not so determined, by the Remarketing
Agent for such Note (in its best judgment in order to obtain the lowest interest
cost for such Note). Each Commercial Paper Term Period will commence on the
Interest Rate Adjustment Date therefor and end on the day preceding the date
specified by such Remarketing Agent as the first day of the next Interest Rate
Period for such Note. A "Weekly Rate Period" is a Commercial Paper Term Period
and will be a period of seven days commencing on any Interest Rate Adjustment
Date and ending on the day preceding the first day of the next Interest Rate
Period for such Note. The interest rate for any Commercial Paper Term Period
relating to a Note will be determined not later than 11:50 a.m., New York City
time, on the Interest Rate Adjustment Date for such Note (subject to Section
207), which is the first day of each Interest Rate Period for such Note.

                  Long Term Rate Mode. The Interest Rate Period for any Note in
the Long Term Rate Mode will be established by the Company (as described in
Section 205 below) as a period of more than 364 days and not exceeding the
remaining term to the Stated Maturity of such Note; provided, however, that such
Interest Rate Period must end on the day prior to an Interest Payment Date for
such Note; and provided further that, if so provided in a Note in the Long Term
Rate Mode and specified at the time of remarketing into a Long Term Rate Period,
the Company may shorten the Interest Rate Period and provide for payment of a
premium, if any, in

                                       18

<PAGE>   20

respect thereof for any such Note upon written notice to the Remarketing Agent
and the Trustee not less than thirty (30) days prior to the date upon which such
shortened Interest Rate Period shall expire. Promptly upon receipt of such
notice and, in any case, not later than the close of business on such date, the
Trustee will transmit such information to DTC in accordance with DTC's
procedures as in effect from time to time. In such case, the next Interest Rate
Adjustment Date otherwise set forth in such Note shall instead be the Business
Day immediately following the expiration of such Interest Rate Period. The
interest rate, or Spread (if any) and Spread Multiplier (if any) for any Note in
the Long Term Rate Mode will be determined not later than 11:50 a.m., New York
City time, on the Interest Rate Adjustment Date for such Notes (subject to
Section 207), which is the first day of the Interest Rate Period for such Note.

                  If any Note is subject to early remarketing as provided above,
the Interest Rate Period may be shortened by the Company to end on any date on
or after the Initial Early Remarketing Date, if any, specified in the Note, upon
prior written notice as provided above. On or after the Initial Early
Remarketing Date, if any, on the Interest Rate Adjustment Date relating to such
shortened Interest Rate Period for such Note, the Company will pay a premium to
the tendering Beneficial Owner of the Note, together with accrued interest, if
any, thereon at the applicable rate payable to such Interest Rate Adjustment
Date. Unless otherwise specified in the Note, the premium shall be an amount
equal to the Initial Early Remarketing Premium specified therein (as adjusted by
the Annual Early Remarketing Premium Percentage Reduction specified therein, if
applicable), multiplied by the principal amount of the Note subject to early
remarketing. The Initial Early Remarketing Premium, if any, shall decline at
each anniversary of the Initial Early Remarketing Date by an amount equal to the
applicable Annual Early Remarketing Premium Percentage Reduction, if any,
specified in the Note until the premium is equal to 0.

                  MAPS Mode. So long as any Notes are in the MAPS Mode, the
provisions set forth in Article Two applicable to the remarketing of Notes
generally shall apply to such Notes only to the extent expressly provided in
Article Three.

                  The Interest Rate Period for any Note in the MAPS Mode will be
established by the Company (as described in Section 205 below) as a period of
more than 364 days and not exceeding the remaining term to the Stated Maturity
of such Note; provided, however, that such Interest Rate Period must end on the
day prior to an Interest Payment Date for such Note. The MAPS Rate Period shall
consist of the period from and including the Interest Rate Adjustment Date
commencing such Interest Rate Period to and excluding the MAPS Remarketing Date
and the period from and including the MAPS Remarketing Date to, but excluding,
the next succeeding Interest Rate Adjustment Date, as described in Article Three
and subject to the conditions therein and otherwise herein described. The
interest rate and, in the case of a floating interest rate, the Spread, if any,
and the Spread Multiplier, if any, to the MAPS Remarketing Date for any Note in
the MAPS Mode will be determined not later than 11:50 a.m., New York City time,
on the Interest Rate Adjustment Date for such Note, which for the MAPS Mode is
the first day of the Interest Rate Period for such Note.

                  Section 205. Conversion. The Company may change the Interest
Rate Mode or Interest Rate Period at its option in the manner described below.

                                       19

<PAGE>   21

                  (a) Conversion Between Commercial Paper Term Periods. Each
Note in a Commercial Paper Term Period may be remarketed into the same Interest
Rate Period or converted at the option of the Company to a different Commercial
Paper Term Period on any Interest Rate Adjustment Date for such Note upon
receipt by the applicable Remarketing Agent and the Trustee of a Conversion
Notice prior to 9:30 a.m., New York City time, or the remarketing of such Note,
whichever later occurs, on such Interest Rate Adjustment Date.

                  (b) Conversion from the Commercial Paper Term Mode to the Long
Term Rate Mode or the MAPS Mode. Each Note in the Commercial Paper Term may be
converted at the option of the Company to the Long Term Rate Mode or the MAPS
Mode on any Interest Rate Adjustment Date upon receipt not less than ten days
prior to such Interest Rate Adjustment Date by the applicable Remarketing Agent
and the Trustee of a Conversion Notice from the Company.

                  (c) Conversion Between Long Term Rate Periods or from the Long
Term Rate Mode or the MAPS Mode to the Commercial Paper Term Mode or the MAPS
Mode. Each Note in a Long Term Rate Period may be remarketed into the same
Interest Rate Period or converted at the option of the Company to a different
Long Term Rate Period or from the Long Term Rate Mode to the Commercial Paper
Term Mode or the MAPS Mode, or from the MAPS Mode to a different MAPS Mode or to
the Long Term Rate Mode or the Commercial Paper Term Mode, on any Interest Rate
Adjustment Date for such Note upon receipt by the Trustee and the Remarketing
Agent of a Conversion Notice from the Company not less than ten days prior to
such Interest Rate Adjustment Date.

                  (d) Conversion Notice. Each Conversion Notice must state each
Note to which it relates and the new Interest Rate Mode (if applicable), the new
Interest Rate Period, the Conversion Date and, with respect to any Long Term
Rate Period, any optional redemption or repayment terms for each such Note. If
the Company revokes a Conversion Notice or the Trustee and the Remarketing Agent
fail to receive a Conversion Notice from the Company by the specified date in
advance of the Interest Rate Adjustment Date for a Note, the Note shall be
converted automatically to a Weekly Rate Period.

                  (e) Revocation or Change of Conversion Notice or Floating
Interest Rate Notice. The Company may, upon written notice received by the
Trustee and the applicable Remarketing Agent, revoke any Conversion Notice or
Floating Interest Rate Notice or change the Interest Rate Mode to which such
Conversion Notice relates or change any Floating Interest Rate Notice up to 9:30
a.m., New York City time, on the Conversion Date, subject to the provisions of
subsection (f) below.

                  (f) Limitation on Conversion, Change of Conversion Notice or
Floating Interest Rate Notice and Revocation. Notwithstanding the foregoing
subsections (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) the Company may not, without the consent
of the applicable Remarketing Agent, convert any Note or revoke or change any
Conversion Notice or Floating Interest Rate Notice at or after the time at which
such Remarketing Agent has determined the interest rate, or Spread (if any) and
Spread Multiplier (if any), for any Note being remarketed (i.e., the time at
which such Note has been successfully remarketed, subject to settlement on the
related Interest Rate Adjustment Date). The Remarketing Agent will advise the
Company of indicative rates from time to time, or

                                       20

<PAGE>   22

at any time upon the request of the Company, prior to making such determination
of the interest rate, Spread or Spread Multiplier, as the case may be.

                  Section 206. Mandatory Tender of Notes. Each Note will be
automatically tendered for purchase, or deemed tendered for purchase, on each
Interest Rate Adjustment Date relating thereto. Notes will be purchased on the
Interest Rate Adjustment Date relating thereto as described in Section 207.
hereof.

                  Section 207. Remarketing. The interest rate on each Note will
be established from time to time by each Remarketing Agent responsible for the
remarketing thereof in accordance with the following procedures:

                  (a) Interest Rate Adjustment Date; Determination of Interest
Rate. By 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Interest Rate Adjustment Date
for any Note, the applicable Remarketing Agent will determine the interest rate
for such Note being remarketed to the nearest one hundred-thousandth (0.00001)
of one percent per annum for the next Interest Rate Period in the case of a
fixed interest rate, and the Spread (if any) and Spread Multiplier (if any) in
the case of a floating interest rate; provided, that between 11:00 a.m., New
York City time, and 11:50 a.m., New York City time, the Remarketing Agent and
the Standby Remarketing Agent(s), if any, shall use their reasonable efforts to
determine the interest rate for any Notes not successfully remarketed as of the
applicable deadline specified in this paragraph. In determining the applicable
interest rate for such Note and other terms, such Remarketing Agent will, after
taking into account market conditions as reflected in the prevailing yields on
fixed and variable rate taxable debt securities, (i) consider the principal
amount of all Notes tendered or to be tendered on such date and the principal
amount of such Notes prospective purchasers are or may be willing to purchase
and (ii) contact, by telephone or otherwise, prospective purchasers and
ascertain the interest rates therefor at which they would be willing to hold or
purchase such Notes.

                  (b) Notification of Results; Settlement. By 12:30 p.m., New
York City time, on the Interest Rate Adjustment Date for any Notes, the
applicable Remarketing Agent will notify the Company and the Trustee in writing
(which may include facsimile or other electronic transmission), of (i) the
interest rate or, in the case of a floating interest rate, the initial interest
rate, the Spread and Spread Multiplier and the Initial Interest Reset Date,
applicable to such Notes for the next Interest Rate Period, (ii) the Interest
Rate Adjustment Date, (iii) the Interest Payment Dates, for any Notes in the
Commercial Paper Term Mode (if other than the Interest Rate Adjustment Date),
the Long Term Rate Mode or the MAPS Mode, (iv) the optional redemption terms, if
any, and early remarketing terms, if any, in the case of a remarketing into a
Long Term Rate Period, (v) the aggregate principal amount of tendered Notes and
(vi) the aggregate principal amount of such tendered Notes which such
Remarketing Agent was able to remarket, at a price equal to 100% of the
principal amount thereof plus accrued interest, if any. Immediately after
receiving such notice, and in any case, not later than 1:30 p.m. New York City
time, the Trustee will transmit such information and any other settlement
information required by DTC to DTC in accordance with DTC's procedures as in
effect from time to time.

                  By telephone at approximately 1:00 p.m., New York City time,
on such Interest Rate Adjustment Date, the applicable Remarketing Agent will
advise each purchaser of such

                                       21

<PAGE>   23

Notes (or the DTC participant of each such purchaser who it is expected in turn
will advise such purchaser) of the principal amount of such Notes that such
purchaser is to purchase.

                  Each purchaser of Notes in a remarketing will be required to
give instructions to its DTC participant to pay the purchase price therefor in
same day funds to the applicable Remarketing Agent against delivery of the
principal amount of such Notes by book-entry through DTC by 3:00 p.m., New York
City time, on the Interest Rate Adjustment Date.

                  All tendered Notes will be automatically delivered to the
account of the Trustee (or such other account meeting the requirements of DTC's
procedures as in effect from time to time), by book-entry through DTC against
payment of the purchase price or redemption price therefor, on the Interest Rate
Adjustment Date relating thereto.

                  The applicable Remarketing Agent will make, or cause the
Trustee to make, payment to the DTC participant of each tendering Beneficial
Owner of Notes subject to a remarketing, by book-entry through DTC by the close
of business on the Interest Rate Adjustment Date against delivery through DTC of
such Beneficial Owner's tendered Notes, of the purchase price for tendered Notes
that have been sold in the remarketing. If any such Notes were purchased
pursuant to a Special Mandatory Purchase, subject to receipt of funds from the
Company or the Liquidity Provider, if any, as the case may be, the Trustee will
make such payment of the purchase price of such Notes plus accrued interest, if
any, to such date.

                  The transactions described above for a remarketing of any
Notes will be executed on the Interest Rate Adjustment Date for such Notes
through DTC in accordance with the procedures of DTC, and the accounts of the
respective DTC participants will be debited and credited and such Notes
delivered by book-entry as necessary to effect the purchases and sales thereof,
in each case as determined in the related remarketing.

                  Except as otherwise set forth in Section 208 hereof, any Notes
tendered in a remarketing will be purchased solely out of the proceeds received
from purchasers of such Notes in such remarketing, and none of the Trustee, the
applicable Remarketing Agent, any Standby Remarketing Agent or the Company will
be obligated to provide funds to make payment upon any Beneficial Owner's tender
in a remarketing.

                  Although tendered Notes will be subject to purchase by a
Remarketing Agent in a remarketing, such Remarketing Agent and any Standby
Remarketing Agent will not be obligated to purchase any such Notes.

                  The settlement and remarketing procedures described above,
including provisions for payment by purchasers of tendered Notes or for payment
to selling Beneficial Owners of tendered Notes, may be modified to the extent
required by DTC. In addition, each Remarketing Agent may, without the consent of
the Holders of the Notes, modify the settlement and remarketing procedures set
forth above in order to facilitate the settlement and remarketing process.

                  As long as DTC's nominee holds the certificates representing
the Notes in the book-entry system of DTC, no certificates for such Notes will
be delivered by any selling Beneficial Owner to reflect any transfer of Notes
effected in any remarketing.

                                       22

<PAGE>   24

                  The Trustee shall confirm to DTC the interest rate for the
following Interest Rate Period in accordance with DTC's procedures as in effect
from time to time.

                  The interest rate announced by the applicable Remarketing
Agent, absent manifest error, shall be binding and conclusive upon the
Beneficial Owners, the Company and the Trustee.

                  (c) Failed Remarketing. Notes not successfully remarketed will
be subject to Special Mandatory Purchase by the Company (a "Special Mandatory
Purchase"). The obligation of the Company to effect a Special Mandatory Purchase
of the Notes (the "Special Mandatory Purchase Right") can be satisfied either
directly by the Company or through a Liquidity Provider. By 12:00 o'clock noon,
New York City time, on any Interest Rate Adjustment Date, the applicable
Remarketing Agent will notify the Liquidity Provider, if any, the Trustee and
the Company by telephone or facsimile, confirmed in writing, of the principal
amount of Notes that such Remarketing Agent and the applicable Standby
Remarketing Agent, if any, were unable to remarket on such date. In the event
that the Company has entered into a Standby Note Purchase Agreement which is in
effect on such date, such notice will constitute a demand for the benefit of the
Company to the Liquidity Provider to purchase such unremarketed Notes at a price
equal to the outstanding principal amount thereof pursuant to the terms of such
Standby Note Purchase Agreement. If a Standby Note Purchase Agreement is not in
effect on such date, or if the Liquidity Provider fails to advance funds under
the Standby Note Purchase Agreement, the Company hereby agrees to purchase such
unremarketed Notes. In each case the Company will pay all accrued and unpaid
interest, if any, on unremarketed Notes to such Interest Rate Adjustment Date.
Payment of the principal amount of unremarketed Notes by the Company or the
Liquidity Provider, as the case may be, and payment of accrued and unpaid
interest, if any, by the Company, shall be made by deposit of same-day funds
with the Trustee (or such other account meeting the requirements of DTC's
procedures as in effect from time to time) irrevocably in trust for the benefit
of the Beneficial Owners of Notes subject to Special Mandatory Purchase by 3:00
p.m., New York City time, on such Interest Rate Adjustment Date.

                  Section 208. Purchase and Redemption of Notes.

                  (a) Special Mandatory Purchase. If by 12:00 o'clock noon, New
York City time, on any Interest Rate Adjustment Date for any Notes, the
applicable Remarketing Agent and the applicable Standby Remarketing Agent(s)
have not remarketed all such Notes, the Notes that are unremarketed are subject
to Special Mandatory Purchase. Either the Company or, subject to the terms and
conditions of a Standby Note Purchase Agreement, if any, which may be in effect
on such date, the Liquidity Provider (if any), will deposit same-day funds in
the account of the Trustee (or such other account meeting the requirements of
DTC's procedures as in effect from time to time) irrevocably in trust for the
benefit of the Beneficial Owners of Notes subject to Special Mandatory Purchase
by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on such Interest Rate Adjustment Date. Such
funds shall be in an amount sufficient to pay the aggregate purchase price of
such unremarketed Notes, equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof. In the
event a Standby Note Purchase Agreement is in effect but the Liquidity Provider
shall fail to advance funds for whatever reason thereunder, the Company hereby
agrees to purchase such unremarketed Notes on such Interest Rate Adjustment
Date. The Company hereby agrees to pay the accrued interest, if any, on such
Notes by depositing sufficient same-day funds therefor in the

                                       23

<PAGE>   25

account of the Trustee (or such other account meeting the requirements of DTC's
procedures as in effect from time to time) by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on
such Interest Rate Adjustment Date.

                  Failure by the Company to purchase Notes pursuant to a Special
Mandatory Purchase in the manner provided in the Notes will constitute an Event
of Default under the Original Indenture in which event the date of such failure
shall constitute a date of Maturity for such Notes and the principal amount
thereof may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect
provided for in the Original Indenture. Following such failure to pay pursuant
to a Special Mandatory Purchase, such Notes will bear interest at the Special
Interest Rate as provided for in Section 204 hereof.

                  If the Company enters into a Standby Note Purchase Agreement
with a Liquidity Provider, Notes purchased by the Liquidity Provider ("Purchased
Notes") shall bear interest at the rates and be payable on the dates as may be
agreed upon by the Company and the Liquidity Provider. Upon purchase of any Note
by the Liquidity Provider, all interest accruing thereon from the last date for
which interest was paid shall accrue for the benefit of and be payable to the
Liquidity Provider. Unless an event of default under the Standby Note Purchase
Agreement occurs, the applicable Remarketing Agent shall continue its
remarketing efforts with respect to Purchased Notes until the earlier to occur
of a successful remarketing of such Purchased Notes or the expiration of the
Standby Note Purchase Agreement. In the event the Liquidity Provider holds
Purchased Notes on the date the Standby Note Purchase Agreement expires, the
Company will be required to purchase such Notes on such date at a purchase price
equal to the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest thereon to the
purchase date. Such Notes will remain outstanding and enjoy the benefits of the
Original Indenture and this Second Supplemental Indenture until such time as the
Company delivers the Notes to the Trustee for cancellation.

                  (b) Optional Redemption on any Interest Rate Adjustment Date.
Each Note is subject to redemption at the option of the Company in whole or in
part on any Interest Rate Adjustment Date, without notice to the Holders
thereof, at a redemption price equal to the aggregate principal amount of such
Notes to be redeemed plus accrued interest thereon to the redemption date.

                  (c) Redemption While Notes are in the Long Term Rate Mode. Any
Notes in the Long Term Rate Mode are subject to redemption at the option of the
Company at the times and upon the terms specified at the time of conversion to
or within such Long Term Rate Mode.

                  (d) Notice of Redemption. In the case of any Note being
redeemed on an Interest Rate Adjustment Date therefor, the Company shall give
the applicable Remarketing Agent and the Trustee written notice of such
redemption prior to the time the interest rate applicable to the next Interest
Rate Period for such Note is established by such Remarketing Agent. In any other
case, the Company shall give the Remarketing Agents and the Trustee written
notice of redemption of any Note at least two Business Days prior to the date
notice is required to be given to Holders. In addition, the Company shall give
each Remarketing Agent with respect to any Note being repaid at the option of
the Holder thereof and the Trustee notice as soon as practicable, and in any
event not later than twelve Business Days prior to the next succeeding Interest
Rate Adjustment Date therefor of each such Note which will be repaid by the

                                       24

<PAGE>   26

Company at the option of the Holder thereof on or prior to such Interest Rate
Adjustment Date. Each Remarketing Agent's obligation to remarket any Note shall
terminate immediately upon receipt by it from the Company of any notice of
redemption or repayment thereof.

                  (e) Allocation. Except in the case of a Special Mandatory
Purchase, if the Notes are to be redeemed in part, DTC, after receiving notice
of redemption specifying the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be so
redeemed, will determine by lot (or otherwise in accordance with the procedures
of DTC) the principal amount of such Notes to be redeemed from the account of
each DTC participant. After making its determination as described above, DTC
will give notice of such determination to each DTC participant from whose
account such Notes are to be redeemed. Each such DTC participant, upon receipt
of such notice, will in turn determine the principal amount of Notes to be
redeemed from the accounts of the Beneficial Owners of such Notes for which it
serves as DTC participant, and give notice of such determination to the
Remarketing Agent.

                  Section 209. Form and Other Terms of the Notes.

                  (a) Attached hereto as Exhibit A is the form of Note, which
form is hereby established as the form in which Notes may be issued bearing
interest at the Initial Interest Rate or in the Commercial Paper Term Mode, the
Long Term Rate Mode or the MAPS Mode. Annex A to Exhibit A is deemed to be a
part of such Note and such Annex may be changed upon the mutual agreement of the
Company and the Trustee to reflect changes occasioned by remarketings. The Notes
will initially bear legends indicating that they have not been registered under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and restricting transfers thereof.

                  (b) Attached hereto as Exhibit B is a form of Liquidity
Provider Note, which form is hereby established as a form in which Notes held by
the Liquidity Provider may be issued. The form of Liquidity Provider Note may be
amended to reflect changes occasioned by remarketings upon the mutual agreement
of the Company and the Trustee, but only with the consent of the applicable
Administrative Agent.

                                  THE MAPS MODE

                  Section 301. Applicability of Article. The provisions of this
Article Three shall apply to any Note in the MAPS Mode. To the extent that any
provision of this Article Three conflicts with any provision of Article Two, the
provisions set forth in this Article Three shall govern.

                  Section 302. Interest To Remarketing Date. Each Note in the

Agent after consultation with the Company and set forth in Annex A to the
applicable Note. Such interest rate will be the minimum rate of interest and, in
the case of a floating interest rate, Spread (if any) and Spread Multiplier (if
any) necessary in the judgment of such MAPS Agent to produce a par bid in the
secondary market for such Note on the date the interest rate is established. The
designated MAPS Remarketing Date shall be an Interest Payment Date within such
Interest Rate Period.

                  Section 303. Tender; Remarketing. The MAPS Agent's obligations
set forth herein shall be performed pursuant to the MAPS Remarketing Agreement.

                  (a) Mandatory Tender. Provided that the MAPS Agent gives
notice to the Company and the Trustee on a Business Day not later than ten (10)
days prior to the MAPS Remarketing Date of its intention to purchase the Notes
for remarketing (the "Notification Date"), each Note shall be automatically
tendered, or deemed tendered, to the MAPS Agent for remarketing on the MAPS
Remarketing Date, except in the circumstances set forth in Section 304. The
purchase price for the tendered Notes to be paid by the MAPS Agent shall equal
100% of the principal amount thereof. When the Notes are tendered for
remarketing, the MAPS Agent may remarket the Notes for its own account at
varying prices to be determined by the MAPS Agent at the time of each sale.
From, and including, the MAPS Remarketing Date to, but excluding, the next
succeeding Interest Rate Adjustment Date, the Notes shall bear interest at the
MAPS Interest Rate. If the MAPS Agent elects to remarket the Notes, the
obligation of the MAPS Agent to purchase the Notes on the MAPS Remarketing Date
is subject to, among other things, the conditions specified in the applicable
MAPS Remarketing Agreement. If the MAPS Agent for any reason does not purchase
all tendered Notes on the MAPS Remarketing Date or if the MAPS Agent gives
notice of its intention to remarket the Notes but for any reason does not
purchase all tendered Notes on the MAPS Remarketing Date, then as of such date
the Notes will cease to be in the MAPS Mode, the MAPS Remarketing Date will
constitute an Interest Rate Adjustment Date, and the Notes may be subject to
remarketing on such date by a Remarketing Agent appointed by the Company in the
Commercial Paper Mode or the Long Term Rate Mode or a new MAPS Mode established
by the Company in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 205
hereof, provided that, in such case, the notice period required for conversion
shall be the lesser of ten (10) days and the period commencing the date that the
MAPS Agent notifies the Company that it will not purchase the Notes for
remarketing on the MAPS Remarketing Date or fails to so purchase, as the case
may be.

                  (b) Remarketing. The MAPS Interest Rate shall be established
by the MAPS Agent in accordance with the following procedures:

             (i) The MAPS Interest Rate. Subject to the MAPS Agent's
election to remarket the Notes as provided in subsection (a) above, the MAPS
Interest Rate shall be determined by the MAPS Agent by 3:30 p.m., New York City
time, on the third Business Day preceding the MAPS Remarketing Date (the
"Determination Date") to the nearest one hundred-thousandth (0.00001) of one
percent per annum, and shall be equal to the Base Rate established by the MAPS
Agent, after consultation with the Company, at or prior to the commencement of
the MAPS Mode (the "Base Rate"), plus the Applicable Spread (as defined below),
which will be based on the Dollar Price (as defined below) of the Notes.

                                       26

<PAGE>   28

                  The "Applicable Spread" will be the lowest bid indication,
expressed as a spread (in the form of a percentage or in basis points) above the
Base Rate, obtained by the MAPS Agent on the Determination Date from the bids
quoted by up to five Reference Corporate Dealers (as defined below) for the full
aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the Dollar Price, but assuming (i) an
issue date equal to the MAPS Remarketing Date, with settlement on such date
without accrued interest, (ii) a maturity date equal to the next succeeding
Interest Adjustment Date of the Notes and (iii) a stated annual interest rate,
payable semiannually on each Interest Payment Date, equal to the Base Rate plus
the spread bid by the applicable Reference Corporate Dealer. If fewer than five
Reference Corporate Dealers bid as set forth in this subsection (b)(i) of
Section 303, then the Applicable Spread shall be the lowest of such bid
indications obtained as set forth in this subsection (b)(i) of Section 303. The
MAPS Interest Rate announced by the MAPS Agent, absent manifest error, shall be
binding and conclusive upon the Beneficial Owners and Holders of the Notes, the
Company and the Trustee.

                  "Dollar Price" shall mean, with respect to the Notes, the
present value determined by the MAPS Agent, as of the MAPS Remarketing Date, of
the Remaining Scheduled Payments (as defined below) discounted to the MAPS
Remarketing Date, on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of
twelve 30-day months), at the Treasury Rate (as defined below).

                  "Reference Corporate Dealers" means such Reference Corporate
Dealers as shall be appointed by the MAPS Agent after consultation with the
Company.

                  "Treasury Rate" shall mean, with respect to the MAPS

to maturity or interpolated (on a day count basis) yield to maturity of the
Comparable Treasury Issues (as defined below), assuming a price for the
Comparable Treasury Issues (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount),
equal to the Comparable Treasury Price (as defined below) for such MAPS
Remarketing Date.

                  "Comparable Treasury Issues" shall mean the United States
Treasury security or securities selected by the MAPS Agent as having an actual
or interpolated maturity or maturities comparable or applicable to the remaining
term to the next succeeding Interest Adjustment Date of the Notes being
purchased.

                  "Comparable Treasury Price" means, with respect to the MAPS
Remarketing Date, (a) the offer prices for the Comparable Treasury Issues
(expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) on the
Determination Date, as set forth on "Telerate Page 500" (or such other page as
may replace Telerate Page 500) or (b) if such page (or any successor page) is
not displayed or does not contain such offer prices on such Determination Date,
(i) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations (as defined below)
for such MAPS Remarketing Date, after excluding the highest and lowest of such
Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (ii) if the MAPS Agent obtains fewer
than four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such
Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations. "Telerate Page 500" means the display
designated as "Telerate Page 500" on Bridge Telerate, Inc. (or such other page
as may replace Telerate Page 500 on such service) or such other service
displaying the offer prices specified in (a) above as may replace Bridge
Telerate, Inc..

<PAGE>   29

                  "Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations" means, with respect to
each Reference Treasury Dealer and the MAPS Remarketing Date, the offer prices
for the Comparable Treasury Issues (expressed in each case as a percentage of
its principal amount) quoted in writing to the MAPS Agent by such Reference
Treasury Dealer by 3:30 p.m. New York City time, on the Determination Date.

                  "Reference Treasury Dealer" means such Reference Treasury
Dealers as shall be appointed by the MAPS Agent after consultation with the
Company.

                  "Remaining Scheduled Payments" shall mean, with respect to the
Notes, the remaining scheduled payments of the principal thereof and interest
thereon, calculated at the Base Rate only, that would be due after the MAPS
Remarketing Date to and including the next succeeding Interest Adjustment Date

              (ii) Notification of Results; Settlement. Provided the MAPS
Agent has previously notified the Company and the Trustee on the Notification
Date of its intention to purchase all tendered Notes on the MAPS Remarketing
Date, the MAPS Agent shall notify the Company, the Trustee and DTC by telephone,
confirmed in writing, by 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Determination
Date, of the MAPS Interest Rate.

                  All of the tendered Notes shall be automatically delivered to
the account of the Trustee, by book-entry through DTC pending payment of the
purchase price therefor, on the MAPS Remarketing Date.

                  In the event that the MAPS Agent purchases the tendered Notes
on the MAPS Remarketing Date, the MAPS Agent shall make or cause the Trustee to
make payment to the DTC Participant of each tendering Beneficial Owner of Notes,
by book-entry through DTC by the close of business on the MAPS Remarketing Date
against delivery through DTC of such Beneficial Owner's tendered Notes, of 100%
of the principal amount of the tendered Notes that have been purchased for
remarketing by the MAPS Agent. If the MAPS Agent does not purchase all of the
Notes on the MAPS Remarketing Date, the Company may attempt to convert the Notes
to a new Interest Rate Mode; the interest will be determined as provided above
in Section 204 and settlement will be effected as described above in Section
207(b) or Section 207(c), as the case may be. In any case, the Company shall
make or cause the Trustee to make payment of interest to each Beneficial Owner
of Notes due on the MAPS Remarketing Date by book-entry through DTC by the close
of business on the MAPS Remarketing Date.

                  The transactions set forth in this Section 303 shall be
executed on the MAPS Remarketing Date through DTC in accordance with the
procedures of DTC, and the accounts of the respective DTC participants will be
debited and credited and the Notes delivered by book-entry as necessary to
effect the purchases and sales thereof.

                  Transactions involving the sale and purchase of Notes
remarketed by the MAPS Agent on and after the MAPS Remarketing Date will settle
in immediately available funds through DTC's Same-Day Funds Settlement System.

                  The tender and settlement procedures set forth above,
including provisions for payment by purchasers of Notes in the remarketing or
for payment to selling Beneficial Owners

                                       28

<PAGE>   30

of tendered Notes, may be modified to the extent required by DTC or to the
extent required to facilitate the tender and remarketing of Notes in
certificated form, if the book-entry system is no longer available for the Notes
at the time of the remarketing. In addition, the MAPS Agent may, without the
consent of the Holders of the Notes, modify the settlement procedures set forth
above in order to facilitate the tender and settlement process.

                  As long as DTC's nominee holds the certificates representing
any Notes in the book-entry system of DTC, no certificates for such Notes will
be delivered by any selling Beneficial Owner to reflect any transfer of such
Notes effected in the remarketing.

                  Section 304. Conversion or Redemption Following Election by
the MAPS Agent to Remarket.

                  (a) If the MAPS Agent elects to remarket the Notes on the MAPS
Remarketing Date, the Notes will be subject to mandatory tender to the MAPS
Agent for remarketing on such date, in each case subject to the conditions set
forth in Section 303 hereof and to the Company's right to either convert the
Notes to a new Interest Rate Mode on the MAPS Remarketing Date or to redeem the
Notes from the MAPS Agent, in each case as described in the next sentence. The
Company will notify the MAPS Agent and the Trustee, not later than the Business
Day immediately preceding the Determination Date, if the Company irrevocably
elects to exercise its right to either convert the Notes to a new Interest Rate
Mode, or to redeem the Notes, in whole but not in part, from the MAPS Agent at
the Optional Redemption Price, in each case on the MAPS Remarketing Date.

                  (b) In the event that the Company irrevocably elects to
convert the Notes to a new Interest Rate Mode, then as of the MAPS Remarketing
Date the Notes will cease to be in the MAPS Mode, the MAPS Remarketing Date will
constitute an Interest Rate Adjustment Date, and the Notes will be subject to
remarketing on such date by a Remarketing Agent appointed by the Company in the
Commercial Paper Term Mode or the Long Term Rate Mode or a new MAPS Mode
established by the Company in accordance with the procedures set forth in
Section 205 above; provided that in such case, the notice period required for
conversion shall be the period commencing the Business Day immediately preceding
the Determination Date. In such case, the Company shall pay to the MAPS Agent
the excess of the Dollar Price of the Notes over 100% of the principal amount of
the Notes in same-day funds by wire transfer to an account designated by the
MAPS Agent on the MAPS Remarketing Date.

                  (c) In the event that the Company irrevocably elects to redeem
the Notes, the "Optional Redemption Price" shall be the greater of (i) 100% of
the principal amount of the Notes and (ii) the Dollar Price, plus in either case
accrued and unpaid interest from the MAPS Remarketing Date on the principal
amount being redeemed to the date of redemption. If the Company elects to redeem
the Notes, it shall pay the redemption price therefor in same-day funds by wire
transfer to an account designated by the MAPS Agent on the MAPS Remarketing
Date.

                  (d) If notice has been given as provided in the Original
Indenture and funds for the redemption of any Notes called for redemption shall
have been made available on the redemption date referred to in such notice, such
Notes shall cease to bear interest on the date

fixed for such redemption specified in such notice and the only right of the
MAPS Agent from and after the redemption date shall be to receive payment of the
Optional Redemption Price upon surrender of such Notes in accordance with such
notice.

"SECTION 502. Acceleration of Maturity: Rescission and Annulment.

         If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes at the time
Outstanding occurs and is continuing, then in every such case either the Trustee
or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the
Outstanding Notes may declare the principal amount of all of the Notes 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.

the Notes has been made, but 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
Notes, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul
such declaration and its consequences if

"SECTION 503. Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee.

         The Company covenants that if

                  (1) default is made in payment of any interest on any Note
         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 Note at the Maturity thereof,

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

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

         If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing with respect to the
Notes, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its
rights, including the rights of the Holders of Notes, by such appropriate
judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and
enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or
agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted
herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy including, without limitation,
instituting a proceeding prior to any declaration of acceleration of the

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

                                       33

              (i) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal
         (and premium, if any) and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the
         Notes and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or
         advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any
         claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and
         advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and of the Holders of
         Notes allowed in such judicial proceeding, and

              (ii) 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 of Notes 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
of Notes, 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 606.

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

         In addition, for purposes of the foregoing provisions applicable to the
Notes, the reference in Section 601 of the Original Indenture to Section 501(4)

in default of its obligation to make payments thereunder. The form of Policy is
attached as Exhibit D hereto.

                  Section 802. Rights of Insurer Controlling. Anything herein or
under the Original Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, if a Policy is in
effect with respect to the Notes and the Insurer is not in default of its
obligation to make payments thereunder, the Insurer shall be deemed to be the
Holder of all Notes then Outstanding for all purposes under the Indenture and
shall have the exclusive right to exercise or direct the exercise of remedies on
behalf of the Holders of the Notes in accordance with the terms of the Indenture
following an Event of Default, and the principal of all such Notes Outstanding
may not be declared to be due and payable immediately without the prior written
consent of the Insurer.

                  Section 803. Payments Under the Policy in Respect of the
Applicable Interest Rate Period. Except as otherwise provided in an amendment or
supplement to this Second Supplemental Indenture, so long as a Policy is in
effect with respect to the Notes and the Insurer is not in default of its
obligations to make payments thereunder,

                  (a) If, as of the opening of business on any Interest Payment
Date in the applicable Interest Rate Period, through and including the
applicable Interest Rate Adjustment Date, the Trustee has not received payments
from the Company pursuant to this Second Supplemental Indenture in such amounts
so that sufficient moneys are available under this Second Supplemental Indenture
to pay all interest due on the Notes on such Interest Payment Date, the Trustee
shall promptly notify the Insurer or its designee by telephone, confirmed in
writing by registered or certified mail, of the amount of the deficiency.

                  (b) If, as of 3:00 p.m. New York City time, on the applicable
Interest Rate Adjustment Date in the event of a Special Mandatory Purchase, the
Trustee has not received payments from the Company pursuant to this Second
Supplemental Indenture in such amounts so that sufficient moneys are available
under this Second Supplemental Indenture to pay 100% of the aggregate principal
amount of the Notes subject to Special Mandatory Purchase on such

                                       36

<PAGE>   38

Interest Rate Adjustment Date, the Trustee shall promptly notify the Insurer or
its designee by telephone, confirmed in writing by registered or certified mail,
of the amount of the deficiency.

                  (c) If the deficiency in clause (a) or (b) is made up in whole
or in part on the applicable payment or purchase date, the Trustee shall so
notify the Insurer or its designee.

                  (d) In addition, if the Trustee has notice that any of the
Holders have been required to disgorge payments on Notes as described in clauses
(a) or (b) to the Company or to a trustee in bankruptcy for creditors or others
pursuant to a final judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction that such
payment constitutes a voidable preference to such Holders within the meaning of
any applicable bankruptcy laws, then the Trustee shall notify the Insurer or its
designee of such fact by telephone, confirmed in writing by registered or
certified mail.

                  (e) The Trustee is hereby irrevocably designated, appointed,
directed and authorized to act as attorney-in-fact for Holders of the Notes as
follows:

                  If and to the extent there is a deficiency in amounts required
to pay interest on the Notes, the Trustee shall (A) execute and deliver to an
insurance paying agent designated by the Insurer (the "Insurance Paying Agent"),
in form provided by the Insurance Paying Agent, an instrument appointing the
Insurer as agent for such Holders in any legal proceeding related to the payment
of such interest and an assignment to the Insurer of the claims for interest to
which such deficiency relates and which are paid by the Insurer, (B) receive as
designee of the respective Holders in accordance with the tenor of the Policy
payment from the Insurance Paying Agent with respect to the claims for interest
so assigned and (C) disburse the same at the written direction of the Insurance
Paying Agent to such respective Holders;

                  (f) Irrespective of whether any such assignment is executed
and delivered, the Company and the Trustee hereby agree for the benefit of the
Insurer that:

                      (i)  they recognize that to the extent the Insurer makes
                  payments, directly or indirectly (as by paying through the
                  Trustee), on account of interest on the Notes, the Insurer
                  will be subrogated to the rights of such Holders to receive
                  the amount of such interest from the Company, with interest
                  thereon as provided and solely from the sources stated in this
                  Second Supplemental Indenture and the Notes; and

                      (ii) they will accordingly pay to the Insurer the amount
                  of such interest (including interest recovered under
                  subparagraph (ii) of the first paragraph of the Policy, which
                  interest shall be deemed past due and not to have been paid),
                  with interest thereon as provided in this Second Supplemental
                  Indenture and the Note, but only from the sources and in the
                  manner provided herein for the payment of interest on the
                  Notes to Holders and will otherwise treat the Insurer as the
                  owner of such rights to the amount of such interest.

                  (g) On the date of purchase, the Company shall execute and the
Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery to the Insurer or the
Insurer's designee all Notes purchased with the proceeds under the Policy which
Notes shall be registered and made available in the name of or as directed in
writing by the Insurer.

                  (h) Payments with respect to claims for interest on and

Agent.

                  Section 807. Redemption of Insurer Notes. Notwithstanding

                  Section 809. Effect of Amendments. In determining whether any
amendments or supplement to the Indenture may be made without the consent of the
Holders or in determining whether any action should be taken the effect of such
action on the rights of the Holders shall be considered as if the Policy were
not in effect.

                  Section 810. Copies of Financial Statements. The Insurer shall
receive a copy of all financial statements and reports to be delivered to the
Trustee pursuant to Section 704 of the Original Indenture at the time such

Notes without the consent of the Insurer, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld.

                  Section 812. Notices to Holders. Any notice, certificate or
report that is required to be given to a Holder of the Notes or to the Trustee
pursuant to the Indenture shall also be provided by the Company to the Insurer.

                                       38

<PAGE>   40

obligation to make payments thereunder, the Insurer is an express third-party

amendment of or affecting the Notes or the Insurer) may be amended at any time
in accordance with the provisions of Article Nine of the Original Indenture, but
subject to the consent of the Insurer (which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld) so long as the Policy is in effect and the Insurer is not in default
of its obligation to make payments under the Policy.

any Interest Reset Date would otherwise be a day that is not a Business Day,
such Interest Reset Date shall be postponed to the next succeeding Business Day,
except that if LIBOR is an applicable Interest Rate Basis and such Business Day
falls in the next succeeding calendar month, such Interest Reset Date shall be
the immediately preceding Business Day. In addition, if the Treasury Rate is an
applicable Interest Rate Basis and the Interest Determination Date would
otherwise fall on an Interest Reset Date, then such Interest Reset Date will be
postponed to the next succeeding Business Day.

         The applicable Floating Interest Rate Notice will specify whether the
rate of interest will be reset daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, semiannually
or annually or on such other specified basis (each, an "Interest Reset Period")
and the dates on which such rate of interest will be reset (each, an "Interest
Reset Date"). Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Floating Interest
Rate Notice, the Interest Reset Dates will be, in the case of a floating
interest rate which resets: (i) daily, each Business Day; (ii) weekly, the
Wednesday of each week (unless the Treasury Rate is an applicable Interest Rate
Basis, in which case the Tuesday of each week except as described below); (iii)
monthly, the third Wednesday of each month; (iv) quarterly, the third Wednesday
of March, June, September and December of each year, (v) semiannually, the third
Wednesday of the two months specified in the applicable Floating Interest Rate
Notice; and (vi) annually, the third Wednesday of the month specified in the
applicable Floating Interest Rate Notice.

         The interest rate applicable to each Interest Reset Period commencing
on the related Interest Reset Date will be determined as of the applicable
Interest Determination Date. The "Interest Determination Date" with respect to
the Federal Funds Rate and the Prime Rate will be the Business Day immediately
preceding the applicable Interest Reset Date; the "Interest Determination Date"
with respect to the CD Rate and the CMT Rate will be the second Business Day
immediately preceding the applicable Interest Reset Date; and the "Interest
Determination Date" with respect to LIBOR shall be the second London Business
Day immediately preceding the applicable Interest Reset Date, unless the Index
Currency is British pounds sterling, in which case the "Interest Determination
Date" will be the applicable Interest Reset Date. The "Interest Determination
Date" with respect to the Treasury Rate shall be the day in the week in which
the

                                      A-13

<PAGE>   55

applicable Interest Reset Date falls on which day Treasury Bills (as defined
below) are normally auctioned (Treasury Bills are normally sold at an auction
held on Monday of each week, unless such Monday is a legal holiday, in which
case the auction is normally held on the immediately succeeding Tuesday,
although such auction may be held on the preceding Friday); provided, however,
that if an auction is held on the Friday of the week preceding the applicable
Interest Reset Date, the "Interest Determination Date" shall be such preceding
Friday; provided, further, that if the Interest Determination Date would
otherwise fall on an Interest Reset Date, then such Interest Reset Date will be
postponed to the next succeeding Business Day. The "Interest Determination Date"
pertaining to this Note, the interest rate of which is determined with reference
to two or more Interest Rate Bases specified in the applicable Floating Interest
Rate Notice, shall be the most recent Business Day which is at least two
Business Days prior to the applicable Interest Reset Date on which each Interest
Rate Basis is determinable. Each Interest Rate Basis shall be determined as of
such date, and the applicable interest rate shall take effect on the applicable
Interest Reset Date.

         Either or both of the following may also apply to the floating interest
rate on this Note for an Interest Rate Period: (i) a floating rate maximum
interest rate, or ceiling, that may accrue during any Interest Reset Period (the
"Floating Rate Maximum Interest Rate") and (ii) a floating rate minimum interest
rate, or floor, that may accrue during any Interest Reset Period (the "Floating
Rate Minimum Interest Rate"). In addition to any Floating Rate Maximum Interest
Rate that may apply, the interest rate on this Note will in no event be higher
than the maximum rate permitted by New York law, as the same may be modified by
United States laws of general application.

         Except as provided below or in the applicable Floating Interest Rate
Notice, interest will be payable, in the case of floating interest rates which
reset: (i) daily, weekly or monthly, on the third Wednesday of each month or on
the third Wednesday of March, June, September and December of each year, as
specified in the applicable Floating Interest Rate Notice; (ii) quarterly, on
the third Wednesday of March, June, September and December of each year; (iii)
semiannually, on the third Wednesday of the two months of each year specified in
the applicable Floating Interest Rate Notice; and (iv) annually, on the third
Wednesday of the month of each year specified in the applicable Floating
Interest Rate Notice and, in each case, on the Business Day immediately
following the applicable Long Term Rate Period or SPURS Rate Period, as the case
may be. If any Interest Payment Date for the payment of interest at a floating
rate (other than following the end of the applicable Long Term Rate Period or
SPURS Rate Period, as the case may be) would otherwise be a day that is not a
Business Day, such Interest Payment Date will be postponed to the next
succeeding Business Day, except that if LIBOR is an applicable Interest Rate
Basis and such Business Day falls in the next succeeding calendar month, such
Interest Payment Date will be the immediately preceding Business Day.

         All percentages resulting from any calculation of floating interest
rates will be rounded to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage
point, with five one-millionths of a percentage point rounded upwards (e.g.,
9.876545% (or .09876545) would be rounded to 9.87655% (or .0987655)), and all
amounts used in or resulting from such calculation will be

                                      A-14
<PAGE>   56

rounded, in the case of United States dollars, to the nearest cent or, in the
case of a foreign currency or composite currency, to the nearest unit (with
one-half cent or unit being rounded upwards).

         Accrued floating rate interest will be calculated by multiplying the
principal amount of the applicable Note by an accrued interest factor. Such
accrued interest factor will be computed by adding the interest factor
calculated for each day in the applicable Interest Reset Period. Unless
otherwise specified in the applicable Floating Interest Rate Notice, the
interest factor for each such day will be computed by dividing the interest rate
applicable to such day by 360, if an applicable Interest Rate Basis is the CD
Rate, the Federal Funds Rate, LIBOR or the Prime Rate, or by the actual number
of days in the year if an applicable Interest Rate Basis is the CMT Rate or the
Treasury Rate. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Floating Interest
Rate Notice, if the floating interest rate is calculated with reference to two
or more Interest Rate Bases, the interest factor will be calculated in each
period in the same manner as if only one of the applicable Interest Rate Bases
applied as specified in the applicable Floating Interest Rate Notice.

         Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Floating Interest Rate
Notice, The Bank of New York will be the "Calculation Agent." For any Remarketed
Note bearing interest at a floating rate, the applicable Remarketing Agent will
determine the interest rate in effect from the Interest Rate Adjustment Date for
such Remarketed Note to the Initial Interest Reset Date. The Calculation Agent
will determine the interest rate in effect for each Interest Reset Period
thereafter. Upon request of the Beneficial Owner of a Note, after any Interest
Rate Adjustment Date, the Calculation Agent or the Remarketing Agent shall
disclose the interest rate and, in the case of a floating interest rate,
Interest Rate Basis or Bases, Spread (if any) and Spread Multiplier (if any),
and in each case the other terms applicable to such Note then in effect and, if
determined, the interest rate that will become effective as a result of a
determination made for the next succeeding Interest Reset Date with respect to
such Note. Except as described herein with respect to a Note earning interest at
floating rates, no notice of the applicable interest rate, Spread (if any) or
Spread Multiplier (if any) shall be sent to the Beneficial Owner of any Note.

         Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Floating Interest Rate
Notice, the "Calculation Date", if applicable, pertaining to any Interest
Determination Date will be the earlier of (i) the tenth calendar day after such
Interest Determination Date or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next
succeeding Business Day or (ii) the Business Day immediately preceding the
applicable Interest Payment Date or Maturity, as the case may be.

         CD Rate. If an Interest Rate Basis for any Note is specified in the
applicable Floating Interest Rate Notice as the CD Rate, the CD Rate shall be
determined as of the applicable Interest Determination Date (a "CD Rate Interest
Determination Date") as the rate on such date for negotiable United States
dollar certificates of deposit having the Index Maturity specified in the
applicable Floating Interest Rate Notice as published in H.15(519) (as defined
below) under the heading "CDs (secondary market)", or, if not so published by
3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, the rate on such
CD Rate Interest Determination Date for

                                      A-15

<PAGE>   57

negotiable United States dollar certificates of deposit of the Index Maturity as
published in H.15 Update (as defined herein), or such other recognized
electronic source used for the purpose of displaying such rate, under the
caption "CDs (secondary market)." If such rate is not yet published in either
H.15(519), H.15 Daily Update or another recognized electronic source by 3:00
P.M., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, then the CD Rate on
such CD Rate Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the Calculation
Agent and will be the arithmetic mean of the secondary market offered rates as
of 10:00 A.M., New York City time, on such CD Rate Interest Determination Date,
of three leading nonbank dealers in negotiable United States dollar certificates
of deposit in The City of New York (which may include the Remarketing Agent or
its affiliates) selected by the Calculation Agent, after consultation with the
Company, for negotiable United States dollar certificates of deposit of major
United States money center banks for negotiable United States dollar
certificates of deposit with a remaining maturity closest to the Index Maturity
in an amount that is representative for a single transaction in that market at
that time; provided, however, that if the dealers so selected by the Calculation
Agent are not quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the CD Rate determined as
of such CD Rate Interest Determination Date will be the CD Rate in effect on
such CD Rate Interest Determination Date.

         "H.15(519)" means the weekly statistical release designated as such, or
any successor publication, published by the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System.

         "H.15 Daily Update" means the daily update of H.15(519), available
through the world-wide-web site of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System at http://www.bog.frb.fed.us/releases/h15/update, or any successor site
or publication.

         CMT Rate. If an Interest Rate Basis for this Note is specified in the
applicable Floating Interest Rate Notice as the CMT Rate, the CMT Rate shall be
determined as of the applicable Interest Determination Date (a "CMT Rate
Interest Determination Date") as the rate displayed on the Designated CMT
Telerate Page (as defined below) under the caption "...Treasury Constant
Maturities...Federal Reserve Board Release H.15...Mondays Approximately 3:45
P.M.", under the column for the Designated CMT Maturity Index (as defined below)
for (i) if the Designated CMT Telerate Page is 7051, such CMT Rate Interest
Determination Date and (ii) if the Designated CMT Telerate Page is 7052, the
weekly or monthly average, as specified in the applicable Floating Interest Rate
Notice, for the week or the month, as applicable, ended immediately preceding
the week or the month, as applicable, in which the related CMT Rate Interest
Determination Date falls. If such rate is no longer displayed on the relevant
page or is not so displayed by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the related
Calculation Date, then the CMT Rate for such CMT Rate Interest Determination
Date will be such treasury constant maturity rate for the Designated CMT
Maturity Index as published in H.15(519). If such rate is no longer published or
is not published by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the related Calculation
Date, then the CMT Rate on such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date will be
such treasury constant maturity rate for the Designated CMT Maturity Index (or
other United States Treasury rate for the Designated CMT Maturity Index) for the
CMT Rate Interest Determination Date with respect to such Interest Reset Date as
may then be published by either

                                      A-16

<PAGE>   58

the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or the United States
Department of the Treasury that the Calculation Agent determines to be
comparable to the rate formerly displayed on the Designated CMT Telerate Page
and published in H.15(519). If such information is not provided by 3:00 P.M.,
New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, then the CMT Rate on the
CMT Rate Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the Calculation Agent
and will be a yield to maturity, based on the arithmetic mean of the secondary
market bid prices as of approximately 3:30 P.M., New York City time, on such CMT
Rate Interest Determination Date reported, according to their written records,
by three leading primary United States government securities dealers in The City
of New York (which may include the Remarketing Agent or its affiliates) (each, a
"Reference Dealer") selected by the Calculation Agent, after consultation with
the Company, (from five such Reference Dealers selected by the Calculation
Agent, after consultation with the Company, and eliminating the highest
quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the highest) and the lowest
quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the lowest)), for the most
recently issued direct noncallable fixed rate obligations of the United States
("Treasury Notes") with an original maturity of approximately the Designated CMT
Maturity Index and a remaining term to maturity of not less than such Designated
CMT Maturity Index minus one year. If the Calculation Agent is unable to obtain
three such Treasury Note quotations, the CMT Rate on such CMT Rate Interest
Determination Date will be calculated by the Calculation Agent and will be a
yield to maturity based on the arithmetic mean of the secondary market bid
prices as of approximately 3:30 P.M., New York City time, on such CMT Rate
Interest Determination Date of three Reference Dealers in The City of New York
(from five such Reference Dealers selected by the Calculation Agent, after
consultation with the Company, and eliminating the highest quotation (or, in the
event of equality, one of the highest) and the lowest quotation (or, in the
event of equality, one of the lowest)), for Treasury Notes with an original
maturity of the number of years that is the next highest to the Designated CMT
Maturity Index and a remaining term to maturity closest to the Designated CMT
Maturity Index and in an amount of at least U.S.$100 million. If three or four
(and not five) of such Reference Dealers are quoting as described above, then
the CMT Rate will be based on the arithmetic mean of the bid prices obtained and
neither the highest nor the lowest of such quotes will be eliminated; provided,
however, that if fewer than three Reference Dealers so selected by the
Calculation Agent, after consultation with the Company, are quoting as mentioned
herein, the CMT Rate determined as of such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date
will be the CMT Rate in effect on such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date. If
two Treasury Notes with an original maturity as described in the second
preceding sentence have remaining terms to maturity equally close to the
Designated CMT Maturity Index, the Calculation Agent will obtain quotations for
the Treasury Note with the shorter remaining term to maturity.

         "Designated CMT Maturity Index" means the original period to maturity
of the U.S. Treasury securities (either 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 10, 20 or 30 years)
specified in the applicable Floating Interest Rate Notice with respect to which
the CMT Rate will be calculated or, if no such maturity is specified in the
applicable Floating Interest Rate Notice, 2 years.

         "Designated CMT Telerate Page" means the display on the Bridge
Telerate, Inc. (or any successor service) on the page specified in the
applicable Floating Interest Rate Notice (or any

                                      A-17
<PAGE>   59

other page as may replace such page on such service for the purpose of
displaying Treasury Constant Maturities as reported in H.15(519) or, if no such
page is specified in the applicable Floating Interest Rate Notice, page 7052.

         Federal Funds Rate. If an Interest Rate Basis for this Note is
specified in the applicable Floating Interest Rate Notice as the Federal Funds
Rate, the Federal Funds Rate shall be determined as of the applicable Interest
Determination Date (a "Federal Funds Rate Interest Determination Date"), the
rate on such date for United States dollar federal funds as published in
H.15(519) under the heading "Federal Funds (Effective)", as such rate is
displayed on Bridge Telerate, Inc. or any successor service on page 120 (or any
other page as may replace such page on such service) ("Telerate Page 120"), or,
if such rate does not appear on Telerate Page 120 or is not so published by 3:00
P.M., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, the rate on such
Federal Funds Rate Interest Determination Date for United States dollar federal
funds as published in H.15 Daily Update, or such other recognized electronic
source used for the purpose of displaying such rate, under the caption "Federal
Funds (Effective)." If such rate does not appear on Telerate Page 120 or is not
yet published in H.15(519), H.15 Daily Update or another recognized electronic
source by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, then
the Federal Funds Rate on such Federal Funds Rate Interest Determination Date
will be calculated by the Calculation Agent and will be the arithmetic mean of
the rates for the last transaction in overnight United States dollar federal
funds arranged by three leading brokers of United States dollar federal funds
transactions in The City of New York (which may include the Remarketing Agent or
its affiliates) selected by the Calculation Agent, after consultation with the
Company, prior to 9:00 A.M., New York City time, on such Federal Funds Rate
Interest Determination Date; provided, however, that if the brokers so selected
by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the
Federal Funds Rate determined as of such Federal Funds Rate Interest
Determination Date will be the Federal Funds Rate in effect on such Federal
Funds Rate Interest Determination Date.

         LIBOR. If an Interest Rate Basis for this Note is specified in the
applicable Floating Interest Rate Notice as LIBOR, LIBOR shall be determined by
the Calculation Agent as of the applicable Interest Determination Date (a "LIBOR
Interest Determination Date") in accordance with the following provisions:

         (i) With respect to any Interest Determination Date relating to a
Floating Rate Note for which the interest rate is determined with reference to
LIBOR (a "LIBOR Interest Determination Date"), LIBOR will be either: (a) if
"LIBOR Telerate" is specified in the applicable Floating Interest Rate Notice or
if neither "LIBOR Reuters" nor "LIBOR Telerate" is specified in the applicable
Floating Interest Rate Notice as the method for calculating LIBOR, the rate for
deposits in the Index Currency having the Index Maturity specified in the
applicable Floating Interest Rate Notice, commencing on such Interest Reset
Date, that appears on the Designated LIBOR Page as of 11:00 A.M., London time,
on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date; or (b) if "LIBOR Reuters" is
specified in the applicable Floating Interest Rate Notice, the arithmetic mean
of the offered rates (unless the Designated LIBOR Page by its terms provides
only for a single rate, in which case such single rate shall be used) for
deposits in the Index

                                      A-18

<PAGE>   60

Currency having the Index Maturity specified in the applicable Floating Interest
Rate Notice, commencing on the applicable Interest Reset Date, that appear (or,
if only a single rate is required as aforesaid, appears) on the Designated LIBOR
Page as of 11:00 A.M., London time, on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date.
If fewer than two such offered rates so appear, or if no such rate so appears,
as applicable, LIBOR on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date will be
determined in accordance with the provisions described in clause (ii) below.

         (ii) With respect to a LIBOR Interest Determination Date on which fewer
than two offered rates appear, or no rate appears, as the case may be, on the
Designated LIBOR Page as specified in clause (i) above, the Calculation Agent
will request the principal London offices of each of four major reference banks
(which may include affiliates of the Remarketing Agent) in the London interbank
market, as selected by the Calculation Agent, after consultation with the
Company, to provide the Calculation Agent with its offered quotation for
deposits in the Index Currency for the period of the Index Maturity specified in
the applicable Floating Interest Rate Notice, commencing on the applicable
Interest Reset Date, to prime banks in the London interbank market at
approximately 11:00 A.M., London time, on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date
and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in the
Index Currency in such market at such time. If at least two such quotations are
so provided, then LIBOR on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date will be the
arithmetic mean of such quotations. If fewer than two such quotations are so
provided, then LIBOR on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date will be the
arithmetic mean of the rates quoted at approximately 11:00 A.M., in the
applicable Principal Financial Center, on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date
by three major banks (which may include affiliates of the Remarketing Agent) in
such Principal Financial Center selected by the Calculation Agent, after
consultation with the Company, for loans in the Index Currency to leading
European banks, having the Index Maturity specified in the applicable Floating
Interest Rate Notice and in a principal amount that is representative for a
single transaction in the Index Currency in such market at such time; provided,
however, that if the banks so selected by the Calculation Agent are not quoting
as mentioned in this sentence, LIBOR determined as of such LIBOR Interest
Determination Date will be LIBOR in effect on such LIBOR Interest Determination
Date.

         "Index Currency" means the currency specified in the applicable
Floating Interest Rate Notice as to which LIBOR shall be calculated or, if no
such currency is specified in the applicable Floating Interest Rate Notice,
United States dollars.

         "Designated LIBOR Page" means (a) if "LIBOR Reuters" is specified in
the applicable Floating Interest Rate Notice, the display on the Reuter Monitor
Money Rates Service (or any successor service) on the page specified in the
applicable Floating Interest Rate Notice (or any other page as may replace such
page on such service) for the purpose of displaying the London interbank rates
of major banks for the Index Currency, or (b) if "LIBOR Telerate" is specified
in the applicable Floating Interest Rate Notice or neither "LIBOR Reuters" nor
"LIBOR Telerate" is specified in the applicable Floating Interest Rate Notice as
the method for calculating LIBOR, the display on Bridge Telerate, Inc. (or any
successor service) on the page specified in the applicable Floating Interest
Rate Notice (or any other page as may replace such page on such

                                      A-19
<PAGE>   61

service) for the purpose of displaying the London interbank rates of major banks
for the Index Currency.

         Prime Rate. If an Interest Rate Basis for this Note is specified on the
face hereto as the Prime Rate, the Prime Rate shall be determined as of the
applicable Interest Determination Date (a "Prime Rate Interest Determination
Date") as the rate on such date as such rate is published in H.15(519) under the
caption "Bank Prime Loan" or, if not published by 3:00 P.M., New York City time,
on the related Calculation Date, the rate on such Prime Rate Interest
Determination Date as published in H.15 Daily Update, or such other recognized
electronic source used for the purpose of displaying such rate under the caption
"Bank Prime Loan." If such rate is not yet published in H.15(519), H.15 Daily
Update or another recognized electronic source by 3:00 P.M., New York City time,
on the related Calculation Date, then the Prime Rate shall be the arithmetic
mean of the rates of interest publicly announced by each bank that appears on
the Reuters Screen US PRIME1 Page (as defined below) as such bank's prime rate
or base lending rate as of 11:00 A.M. New York City time, on such Prime Rate
Interest Determination Date. If fewer than four such rates so appear on the
Reuters Screen US PRIME1 Page for such Prime Rate Interest Determination Date,
then the Prime Rate shall be the arithmetic mean of the prime rates or base
lending rates quoted on the basis of the actual number of days in the year
divided by a 360-day year as of the close of business on such Prime Rate
Interest Determination Date by three major banks (which may include The Bank of
New York or affiliates of the Remarketing Agent) in The City of New York
selected by the Calculation Agent, after consultation with the Company;
provided, however, that if the banks or trust companies so selected by the
Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the Prime Rate
determined as of such Prime Rate Interest Determination Date will be the Prime
Rate in effect on such Prime Rate Interest Determination Date.

         "Reuters Screen US PRIME1 Page" means the display on the Reuter Monitor
Money Rates Service (or any successor service) on the "US PRIME1" page (or such
other page as may replace the US PRIME1 page on such service) for the purpose of
displaying prime rates or base lending rates of major United States banks.

         Treasury Rate. If an Interest Rate Basis for this Note is specified in
the applicable Floating Interest Rate Notice as the Treasury Rate, the Treasury
Rate shall be determined as of the applicable Interest Determination Date (a
"Treasury Rate Interest Determination Date") as the rate from the auction held
on such Treasury Rate Interest Determination Date (the "Auction") of direct
obligations of the United States ("Treasury Bills") having the Index Maturity
specified in the applicable Floating Interest Rate Notice under the caption
"INVESTMENT RATE", on the display on Bridge Telerate, Inc. (or any successor
service) on page 56 (or any other page as may replace such page on such service)
("Telerate Page 56") or page 57 (or any other page as may replace such page on
such service) ("Telerate Page 57") or, if not so published by 3:00 P.M.,

                                      A-20

<PAGE>   62

New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, the Bond Equivalent Yield
(as defined below) of the rate for such Treasury Bills as published in H.15
Daily Update, or such other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of
displaying such rate, under the caption "U.S. Government Securities/Treasury
Bills/Auction High" or, if not so published by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on
the related Calculation Date, the Bond Equivalent Yield of the auction rate of
such Treasury Bills as announced by the United States Department of the
Treasury. In the event that the auction rate of Treasury Bills having the Index
Maturity in the applicable Floating Interest Rate Notice is not so announced by
the United States Department of the Treasury, or if no such Auction is held,
then the Treasury Rate will be the Bond Equivalent Yield of the rate on such
Treasury Rate Interest Determination Date of Treasury Bills having the Index
Maturity specified in the applicable Floating Interest Rate Notice as published
in H.15(519) under the caption "U.S. Government Securities/Treasury
Bills/Secondary Market" or, if not yet published by 3:00 P.M., New York City
time, on the related Calculation Date, the rate on such Treasury Rate Interest
Determination Date of such Treasury Bills as published in H.15 Daily Update, or
such other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying such
rate, under the caption "U.S. Government Securities/Treasury Bills/Secondary
Market." If such rate is not yet published in H.15(519), H.15 Daily Update or
another recognized electronic source, then the Treasury Rate will be calculated
by the Calculation Agent and will be the Bond Equivalent Yield of the arithmetic
mean of the secondary market bid rates, as of approximately 3:30 P.M., New York
City time, on such Treasury Rate Interest Determination Date, of three primary
United States government securities dealers (which may include the Remarketing
Agent or its affiliates) selected by the Calculation Agent, after consultation
with the Company, for the issue of Treasury Bills with a remaining maturity
closest to the Index Maturity specified in the applicable Floating Interest Rate
Notice; provided, however, that if the dealers so selected by the Calculation
Agent are not quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the Treasury Rate
determined as of such Treasury Rate Interest Determination Date will be the
Treasury Rate in effect on such Treasury Rate Interest Determination Date.

                  "Bond Equivalent Yield" means a yield (expressed as a
percentage) calculated in accordance with the following formula:

                  Bond Equivalent Yield =                D x N
                                                         -----       X   100
                                                     360 - (D x M)

                  where "D" refers to the applicable per annum rate for Treasury
Bills quoted on a bank discount basis, "N" refers to 365 or 366, as the case may
be, and "M" refers to the actual number of days in the applicable Interest Reset
Period.

         (d) Failure of Remarketing Agent or Agents to Announce Interest. In the
event that (i) the Remarketing Agent has been removed or has resigned and no
successor has been appointed, or (ii) the Remarketing Agent has failed to
announce the appropriate interest rate, Spread, if any, or Spread Multiplier, if
any, as the case may be, on an Interest Rate Adjustment Date for whatever
reason, or (iii) the appropriate interest rate, Spread, if any, or Spread
Multiplier, if any, as the case may be, or Interest Rate Period cannot be
determined for whatever reason, then this Note shall be automatically converted
to a Weekly Rate Period, and the rate of interest hereon shall be equal to the
Special Interest Rate.

                                      A-21
<PAGE>   63

         (e) Notice of Interest Rate, Binding Effect. On each Interest Rate
Adjustment Date of this Note, the Remarketing Agent or the MAPS Agent, as the
case may be, will notify the Company and the Trustee of the interest rate,
Spread, if any, or Spread Multiplier, if any, as the case may be, to be borne by
this Note for the following Interest Rate Period. After such Interest Rate
Adjustment Date, any beneficial owner of this Note may contact the Trustee or
the Remarketing Agent in order to be advised of the applicable interest rate
and, in the case of a floating interest rate, the Spread (if any) and the Spread
Multiplier (if any). Immediately upon receipt of such notice, the Trustee will
transmit such information to DTC in accordance with DTC's procedures as in
effect from time to time and note such rate in Annex A. The Trustee shall
confirm to DTC the interest rate for the following Interest Rate Period in
accordance with DTC's procedures as in effect from time to time. No notice of
the applicable interest rate will be sent to the beneficial owner of this Note.

         The interest rate announced by the Remarketing Agent, absent manifest
error, is binding and conclusive upon the beneficial owner of this Note, the
Company and the Trustee.

         (f) Conversion. This Note may be converted at the option of the Company
to the Commercial Paper Term Mode, Long Term Rate Mode or MAPS Mode on any
Interest Rate Adjustment Date for this Note in accordance with the procedures
set forth in the Indenture, and will be subject to mandatory tender by the
beneficial owner hereof as described herein on such Interest Rate Adjustment
Date. The Company may also change the Interest Rate Period at its option in
accordance with the procedures set forth in the Indenture. The beneficial owner
of this Note will be deemed to have tendered such Note as of the Interest Rate
Adjustment Date upon which such conversion occurs and will not be entitled to
further accrual of interest on this Note after such date.

                                     TENDER

         This Note will be automatically tendered for purchase, or deemed
tendered for purchase by the beneficial owner hereof, on each Interest Rate
Adjustment Date relating hereto. Notes will be purchased on such Interest Rate
Adjustment Date in accordance with the procedures set forth in "Remarketing and
Settlement" or, as the case may be, "MAPS Mode" below.

                           REMARKETING AND SETTLEMENT

         Interest Rate Adjustment Date; Determination of Interest Rate. By 11:00
a.m., New York City time on each Interest Rate Adjustment Date for this Note,
the applicable Remarketing Agent will determine the interest rate hereon to the
nearest one hundred-thousandth (0.00001) of one percent per annum for the next
Interest Rate Period in the case of a fixed interest rate, and the Spread (if
any) and Spread Multiplier (if any) in the case of a floating interest rate;
provided, that between 11:00 a.m., New York City time and 11:50 a.m., New York
City time, the Remarketing Agent and the Standby Remarketing Agent(s), if any,
shall use their reasonable efforts to determine the interest rate for this Note
if it is not successfully remarketed as of the applicable deadline specified in
this paragraph. In determining the applicable interest rate for this Note and
other terms, the Remarketing Agent will, after taking into account market

                                      A-22

<PAGE>   64

conditions as reflected in the prevailing yields on fixed and variable rate
taxable debt securities, (i) consider the principal amount of all Notes tendered
or to be tendered on such date and the principal amount of such Notes
prospective purchasers are or may be willing to purchase and (ii) contact, by
telephone or otherwise, prospective purchasers and ascertain the interest rates
or the Spread or Spread Multiplier therefor at which they would be willing to
hold or purchase this Note.

         Notification of Results; Settlement. By 12:30 p.m., New York City time,
on each Interest Rate Adjustment Date for this Note, the applicable Remarketing
Agent will notify the Company and the Trustee in writing (which may include
facsimile or other electronic transmission), of (i) the interest rate or, in the
case of a floating interest rate, the initial interest rate, the Spread and
Spread Multiplier and the Initial Interest Reset Date, applicable to this Note
for the next Interest Rate Period, (ii) the Interest Rate Adjustment Date, (iii)
the Interest Payment Dates, if this Note will then be in the Commercial Paper
Term Mode (if other than the Interest Rate Adjustment Date), the Long Term Rate
Mode or the MAPS Mode, (iv) the optional redemption terms, if any, and early
remarketing terms, if any, in the case of remarketing into a Long Term Rate
Period, (v) the aggregate principal amount of all Notes tendered for remarketing
on such date, and (vi) the aggregate principal amount of such tendered Notes
which such Remarketing Agent was able to remarket, at a price equal to 100% of
the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest, if any. Immediately after
receiving such notice and, in any case, not later than 1:30 p.m., New York City
time, the Trustee will transmit such information and any other settlement
information required by DTC to DTC in accordance with DTC's procedures as in
effect from time to time.

         By telephone at approximately 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on such
Interest Rate Adjustment Date, the applicable Remarketing Agent will advise the
purchaser of this Note (or the DTC participant of each such purchaser who it is
expected in turn will advise such purchaser) of the principal amount of such
Notes that such purchaser is to purchase.

         The purchaser of this Note in a remarketing will be required to give
instructions to its DTC participant to pay the purchase price therefor in same
day funds to the applicable Remarketing Agent against delivery of the principal
amount of this Note by book-entry through DTC by 3:00 p.m., New York City time,
on the Interest Rate Adjustment Date.

         When tendered, or deemed tendered, this Note will be automatically
delivered to the account of the Trustee (or such other account meeting the
requirements of DTC's procedures as in effect from time to time), by book-entry
through DTC against payment of the purchase price or redemption price herefor,
on the Interest Rate Adjustment Date relating hereto.

         The applicable Remarketing Agent will make, or cause the Trustee to
make, payment to the DTC participant of the tendering beneficial owner hereof
subject to a remarketing, by book-entry through DTC by the close of business on
the related Interest Rate Adjustment Date against delivery through DTC of the
beneficial owner's tendered Note, of the purchase price for this Note. If this
Note was purchased pursuant to a Special Mandatory Purchase, subject to receipt
of

                                      A-23

<PAGE>   65

funds from the Company or the Liquidity Provider (if any), as the case may be,
the Trustee will make such payment of the purchase price for this Note plus
accrued interest, if any, to such date.

         The transactions described above for a remarketing of this Note will be
executed on each Interest Rate Adjustment Date for this Note through DTC in
accordance with the procedures of DTC, and the accounts of the respective DTC
participants will be debited and credited and this Note will be delivered by
book-entry as necessary to effect the purchases and sales hereof, in each case
as determined in the related remarketing.

         Except as otherwise set forth below, the purchase price for this Note
to the tendering beneficial owner shall be paid solely out of the proceeds
received from a purchaser of this Note in such remarketing, and neither the
Trustee, the applicable Remarketing Agent, any Standby Remarketing Agent(s) nor
the Company (except as set forth below) will be obligated to provide funds to
make payment upon any beneficial owner's tender of this Note in a remarketing.

         The tender and settlement procedures described above, including
provisions for payment by purchasers of this Note or for payment to the selling
beneficial owners of this Note, may be modified to the extent required by DTC.
In addition, each Remarketing Agent may, without the consent of the Holders of
the Notes, modify the tender and settlement procedures set forth above in order
to facilitate the settlement and remarketing process.

         As long as DTC's nominee holds the certificates representing this Note
in the book-entry system of DTC, no certificates for this Note will be delivered
by any selling beneficial owner to reflect any transfer of this Note effected in
any remarketing.

         Failed Remarketing. If this Note is not successfully remarketed, this
Note shall be subject to Special Mandatory Purchase by the Company (a "Special
Mandatory Purchase"). The obligation of the Company to effect a Special
Mandatory Purchase can be satisfied either directly by the Company or through a
Liquidity Provider. By 12:00 o'clock noon, New York City time, on any Interest
Rate Adjustment Date for this Note, the applicable Remarketing Agent will notify
the Liquidity Provider, if any, the Trustee and the Company by telephone or
facsimile, confirmed in writing, if it, or the Standby Remarketing Agent or
Agents were unable to remarket all or a portion of the principal amount of this
Note on such date. In the event that the Company has entered into a Standby Note
Purchase Agreement which is in effect on such date, such notice will constitute
a demand for the benefit of the Company to the Liquidity Provider, if any, to
purchase this Note at a price equal to the outstanding principal amount hereof
pursuant to the terms of such Standby Note Purchase Agreement. If a Standby Note
Purchase Agreement is not in effect on such date, or if the Liquidity Provider
fails to advance funds under the Standby Note Purchase Agreement, the Company
hereby agrees to purchase this Note. In each case, the Company will pay all
accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on this Note to such Interest Rate
Adjustment Date. Payment of the principal amount of this Note by the Company or
the Liquidity Provider, as the case may be, and payment of accrued and unpaid
interest, if any, by the Company, shall be made by deposit of same-day funds in
the account of the Trustee (or such other account meeting the requirements of
DTC's procedures as in effect from time to time)

                                      A-24
<PAGE>   66

irrevocably in trust for the benefit of the beneficial owners of this Note
subject to Special Mandatory Purchase by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the
related Interest Rate Adjustment Date.

                              TRANSFER OR EXCHANGE

         As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations set
forth therein and herein, the transfer of this Note is registrable in the
Security Register, upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at
the office or agency of the Company in any place where the principal of and
premium, if any, and any interest on this Note are payable or at such other
offices or agencies as the Company may designate, duly endorsed by, or
accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in the form attached hereto, the
Company and the Security Registrar or any transfer agent duly executed, by the
registered owner hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and
thereupon one or more new Notes of this series and of like tenor, of authorized
denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount will be issued to the
designated transferee or transferees.

         The Notes are issuable only in fully registered form in denominations
of $100,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. As provided in
the Indenture and subject to certain limitations set forth therein and herein,
this Note is exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of this
series and of like tenor of any authorized denomination, as requested by the
registered owner surrendering the same.

         No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or
exchange of this Note, but, subject to certain limitations set forth in the
Indenture, the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax
or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

         Subject to the terms of the Indenture, prior to due presentment of this
Note 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 Note is
registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note is
overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be
affected by notice to the contrary.

                           REDEMPTION AND ACCELERATION

         Special Mandatory Purchase. If by 12:00 o'clock noon, New York City
time, on any Interest Rate Adjustment Date for this Note, the applicable
Remarketing Agent and the applicable Standby Remarketing Agent(s) have not
remarketed this Note, this Note shall be subject to Special Mandatory Purchase.
Either the Company or, subject to the terms and conditions of a Standby Note
Purchase Agreement, if any, which may be in effect on such date, the Liquidity
Provider (if any), will deposit same-day funds in the account of the Trustee (or
such other account meeting the requirements of DTC's procedures as in effect
from time to time) irrevocably in trust for the benefit of the beneficial owners
of this Note subject to Special Mandatory Purchase by 3:00 p.m., New York City
time, on such Interest Rate Adjustment Date. Such funds shall be in an amount
sufficient to pay the aggregate purchase price of this Note,

                                      A-25

<PAGE>   67

equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof. In the event a Standby Note
Purchase Agreement is in effect but the Liquidity Provider shall fail to advance
funds for whatever reason thereunder, the Company hereby agrees to purchase this
Note on such Interest Rate Adjustment Date. The Company has agreed in the
Indenture to pay the accrued interest, if any, on this Note by depositing
sufficient same-day funds therefor with the Trustee (or such other account
meeting the requirements of DTC's procedures as in effect from time to time) by
3:00 p.m., New York City time, on such Interest Rate Adjustment Date.

         Failure by the Company to purchase this Note pursuant to a Special
Mandatory Purchase in the manner provided in this Note will constitute an Event
of Default under the Indenture in which event the date of such failure shall
constitute a date of Maturity for this Note and the principal hereof may be
declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the
Indenture. Following such failure to pay pursuant to a Special Mandatory
Purchase, this Note will bear interest at the Special Interest Rate as provided
above under "Interest."

         Optional Redemption on any Interest Rate Adjustment Date. This Note is
subject to Optional Redemption, at the direction of the Company and without
notice to the Holders, on any Interest Rate Adjustment Date relating hereto, in
whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount to
be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date set for redemption (the
"Redemption Date").

         Optional Redemption While This Note is in the Long Term Rate Mode. So
long as this Note bears interest in the Long Term Rate Mode, this Note is
subject to Optional Redemption at the written direction of the Company if so
specified at the time of conversion to or within such Long Term Rate Mode (a)
commencing on the Commencement Date, if any, specified in Annex A, in whole or
in part at any time, at the applicable redemption prices for any Redemption Date
(dates inclusive) (i) from the Commencement Date to but not including the first
anniversary of the Commencement Date, (ii) from the first anniversary of the
Commencement Date to but not including the second anniversary of the
Commencement Date, and (iii) from the second anniversary of the Commencement
Date and thereafter (expressed as percentage of the principal amount so
redeemed) set forth in Annex A, plus accrued interest to the Redemption Date or
(b) otherwise as set forth in Annex A.

         Notice of redemption shall be given by mail to the registered owner of
this Note, 30 days prior to the Redemption Date, all as provided in the
Indenture. As provided in the Indenture, notice of redemption as aforesaid may
state that such redemption shall be conditioned upon the receipt by the Trustee
of the redemption monies on or before the date fixed for such redemption; a
notice of redemption so conditioned shall be of no force or effect if such money
is not so received.

         The Company shall not be required to (a) issue, register the transfer
of or exchange Notes of this series during a period beginning at the opening of
business 15 days before any selection of Notes of this series to be redeemed and
ending at the close of business on the day of the mailing of the relevant notice
of redemption or (b) register the transfer of or exchange any Notes

                                      A-26

<PAGE>   68

selected for redemption, in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of
any Note being redeemed in part.

         In the event of redemption of this Note in part only, a new Note or
Notes of this series, of like tenor, for the unredeemed portion hereof will be
issued in the name of the registered owner hereof upon the cancellation hereof.

         Allocation. Except in the case of a Special Mandatory Purchase, if this
Note is to be redeemed in part, DTC, after receiving notice of redemption
specifying the aggregate principal amount of this Note to be so redeemed, will
determine by lot (or otherwise in accordance with the procedures of DTC) the
principal amount of this Note to be redeemed from the account of each DTC
participant. After making its determination as described above, DTC will give
notice of such determination to each DTC participant from whose account this
Note is to be redeemed. Each such DTC participant, upon receipt of such notice,
will in turn determine the principal amount of this Note to be redeemed from the
accounts of the beneficial owners of this Note for which it serves as DTC
participant, and give notice of such determination to the Remarketing Agent.

         Acceleration. If any Event of Default with respect to the Notes shall
occur and be continuing, the principal of the Notes may be declared due and
payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

                                    MAPS MODE

         Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the provisions of this
section shall apply to this Note upon conversion to the MAPS Mode, and shall
supersede any conflicting provisions of general applicability contained
elsewhere herein, during the period from, and including, the Interest Rate
Adjustment Date beginning a MAPS Rate Period to, but excluding, the next
succeeding Interest Rate Adjustment Date (or if the MAPS Agent does not elect to
purchase this Note on the MAPS Remarketing Date designated for such MAPS Mode or
if after electing to so purchase this Note the MAPS Agent fails for any reason
to so purchase this Note, to the MAPS Remarketing Date).

         (a) Interest To MAPS Remarketing Date. The Interest Rate Period for
this Note in the MAPS Mode will be established by the Company (as described in
"Interest Rate" above) as a period of more than 364 days and not exceeding the
remaining term to the Stated Maturity of this Note; provided, however, that such
Interest Rate Period must end on the day prior to an Interest Payment Date for
this Note. The MAPS Rate Period shall consist of the period from, and including,
the Interest Rate Adjustment Date commencing such Interest Rate Period to, but
excluding, the date (the "MAPS Remarketing Date") designated at such time by the
MAPS Agent after consultation with the Company and set forth in Annex A hereto.
The interest rate and, in the case of a floating interest rate, the Spread, if
any, and the Spread Multiplier, if any, to the MAPS Remarketing Date for this
Note in the MAPS Mode will be determined not later than 11:50 a.m., New York
City time, on the Interest Rate Adjustment Date for this Note, which for the
MAPS Mode is the first day of the MAPS Rate Period for this Note. Such interest
rate will

                                      A-27

<PAGE>   69

be the minimum rate of interest and, in the case of a floating interest rate,
Spread (if any) and Spread Multiplier (if any) necessary in the judgment of such
MAPS Agent to produce a par bid in the secondary market for this Note on the
date the interest is established. The designated MAPS Remarketing Date shall be
an Interest Payment Date within such Interest Rate Period.

         (b) Mandatory Tender. Provided that the MAPS Agent gives notice to the
Company and the Trustee on a Business Day not later than ten (10) days prior to
the MAPS Remarketing Date of its intention to purchase this Note for remarketing
(the "Notification Date"), this Note shall be automatically tendered, or deemed
tendered, to the MAPS Agent for purchase on the MAPS Remarketing Date, except in
the circumstances described in "Redemption" below, for 100% of the principal
amount hereof. Upon tender, the MAPS Agent may remarket this Note for its own
account at varying prices to be determined by the MAPS Agent at the time of such
sale. From, and including, the MAPS Remarketing Date to, but excluding, the next
succeeding Interest Rate Adjustment Date, this Note shall bear interest at the
MAPS Interest Rate. If the MAPS Agent elects to remarket this Note, the
obligation of the MAPS Agent to purchase this Note on the MAPS Remarketing Date
is subject to, among other things, the conditions that, since the Notification
Date, no material adverse change in the condition of the Company and its
subsidiaries, considered as one enterprise, shall have occurred and that no
Event of Default (as defined in the Indenture), or any event which, with the
giving of notice or passage of time, or both, would constitute an Event of
Default, with respect to this Note shall have occurred and be continuing.

         (c) Remarketing; Establishing the MAPS Interest Rate. Subject to the
MAPS Agent's election to remarket this Note, the MAPS Interest Rate shall be
determined by the MAPS Agent by 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on the third
Business Day immediately preceding the MAPS Remarketing Date (the "Determination
Date") to the nearest one hundred-thousandth (0.00001) of one percent per annum,
and shall be equal to the Base Rate established by the MAPS Agent, after
consultation with the Company, at or prior to the commencement of the MAPS Mode
(the "Base Rate") plus the Applicable Spread, which shall be based on the Dollar
Price of this Note as of the MAPS Remarketing Date.

         (d) Notification of Results; Settlement. Provided the MAPS Agent has
previously notified the Company and the Trustee on the Notification Date of its
intention to purchase this Note on the MAPS Remarketing Date, the MAPS Agent
shall notify the Company, the Trustee and DTC by telephone, confirmed in
writing, by 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Determination Date, of the
MAPS Interest Rate, and this Note shall be automatically delivered to the
account of the Trustee, by book-entry through DTC pending payment of the
purchase price therefor, on the MAPS Remarketing Date.

         In the event that the MAPS Agent purchases this Note on the MAPS
Remarketing Date, the MAPS Agent shall make or cause the Trustee to make payment
to the DTC participant of each tendering beneficial owner hereof, by book-entry
through DTC by the close of business on the MAPS Remarketing Date against
delivery through DTC of such beneficial owner's interest herein, of 100% of the
principal amount for this Note. If the MAPS Agent does not purchase this

                                      A-28

<PAGE>   70

Note on the MAPS Remarketing Date, the Company may attempt to convert this Note
to a new Interest Rate Mode; the interest rate will be determined as provided
above in "Interest Rate" and settlement will be effected as described under
"Remarketing and Settlement" above. In any case, the Company shall make or cause
the Trustee to make payment of interest to each beneficial owner of this Note
due on the MAPS Remarketing Date by book-entry through DTC by the close of
business on the MAPS Remarketing Date.

         The transactions set forth above shall be executed on the MAPS
Remarketing Date through DTC in accordance with the procedures of DTC, and the
accounts of the respective DTC participants shall be debited and credited and
this Note shall be delivered by book-entry as necessary to effect the purchases
and sales thereof.

         Transactions involving the sale and purchase of Notes remarketed by the
MAPS Agent on and after the MAPS Remarketing Date will settle in immediately
available funds through DTC's Same-Day Funds Settlement System.

         The tender and settlement procedures set forth above, including
provisions for payment by purchasers of this Note in the remarketing or for
payment to selling beneficial owners of this Note, may be modified to the extent
required by DTC or to the extent required to facilitate the tender and
remarketing of this Note in certificated form, if the book-entry system is no
longer available for this Note at the time of the remarketing. In addition, the
MAPS Agent may, without the consent of the Holders of the Notes, modify the
settlement procedures set forth above in order to facilitate the tender and
settlement process.

         As long as DTC's nominee holds the certificates representing this Note
in the book-entry system of DTC, no certificates for this Note shall be
delivered by any selling beneficial owner to reflect any transfer of such Notes
effected in the remarketing.

         (e) Conversion or Redemption Following Election by the MAPS Agent to
Remarket. If the MAPS Agent elects to remarket this Note on the MAPS Remarketing
Date, this Note will be subject to a mandatory tender to the MAPS Agent for
remarketing on such date, in each case subject to the conditions set forth above
and to the Company's right to either convert this Note to a new Interest Rate
Mode on the MAPS Remarketing Date or to redeem this Note from the MAPS Agent, in
each case as described in the next sentence. The Company will notify the MAPS
Agent and the Trustee, not later than the Business Day immediately preceding the
Determination Date, if the Company irrevocably elects to exercise its right to
either convert the Notes to a new Interest Rate Mode, or to redeem the Notes, in
whole but not in part, from the MAPS Agent at the Optional Redemption Price, in
each case on the MAPS Remarketing Date.

         In the event that the Company irrevocably elects to convert this Note
to a new Interest Rate Mode, then as of the MAPS Remarketing Date the Notes will
cease to be in the MAPS Mode, the MAPS Remarketing Date will constitute an
Interest Rate Adjustment Date, and this Note will be subject to remarketing on
such date by a Remarketing Agent appointed by the Company in the Commercial
Paper Term Mode or the Long Term Rate Mode or a new MAPS Mode established by the
Company in accordance with the procedures set forth herein; provided

                                      A-29

<PAGE>   71

that in such case, the notice period required for conversion shall be the period
commencing the Business Day immediately preceding the Determination Date. In
such case, the Company shall pay to the MAPS Agent the excess of the Dollar
Price of this Note over 100% of the principal amount of this Note in same-day
funds by wire transfer to an account designated by the MAPS Agent on the MAPS
Remarketing Date.

         In the event that the Company irrevocably elects to redeem this Note,
the "Optional Redemption Price" shall be the greater of (i) 100% of the
principal amount of this Note and (ii) the Dollar Price, plus in either case
accrued and unpaid interest from the MAPS Remarketing Date on the principal
amount being redeemed to the date of redemption. If the Company elects to redeem
this Note, it shall pay the redemption price therefor in same-day funds by wire
transfer to an account designated by the MAPS Agent on the MAPS Remarketing
Date.

         If notice has been given as provided in the Indenture and funds for the
redemption of any Notes called for redemption shall have been made available on
the redemption date referred to in such notice, this Note shall cease to bear
interest on the date fixed for such redemption specified in such notice and the
only right of the MAPS Agent from and after the redemption date shall be to
receive payment of the Optional Redemption Price upon surrender of this Note in
accordance with such notice.

                                OTHER PROVISIONS

         The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the

thereunder to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the
Trustee with the consent of the registered owners of not less than a majority in
principal amount of such securities then Outstanding of each series to be
affected. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the registered
owners of specified percentages in principal amount of the securities of each
series thereunder at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the registered owners 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 registered owner of this
Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such registered owner and upon all
future registered owners of this Note issued upon the registration of transfer
hereof or in exchange for or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such
consent or waiver is made upon this Note.

         As set forth in, and subject to the provisions of, the Indenture, no
registered owner of any Note will have any right to institute any proceeding
with respect to the Indenture or for any remedy thereunder, unless (i) such
registered owner shall have previously given to the Trustee written notice of a
continuing Event of Default with respect to the Notes of this series, (ii) the
registered owners of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding
Notes of this series shall have made written request, and offered reasonable
indemnity, to the Trustee to institute such proceeding as trustee, (iii) the
Trustee shall have failed to institute such proceeding within 60 days and (iv)
the Trustee shall not have received from the registered owners of a

                                      A-30

<PAGE>   72

majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes of this series a direction
inconsistent with such request within such 60 day period; provided, however,
that such limitations do not apply to a suit instituted by the registered owner
hereof for the enforcement of payment of the principal of and premium, if any,
or any interest on this Note on or after the respective due dates expressed
herein.

         Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if a Policy
is in effect with respect to this Note and the Insurer is not in default of its
obligations to make payments thereunder, the Insurer shall be deemed to be the
Holder of this Note for all purposes under the Indenture and shall have the
exclusive right to exercise or direct the exercise of remedies on behalf of the
Holders of this Note in accordance with the terms of the Indenture following an
Event of Default, and the principal of this Note may not be declared due and
payable immediately without the prior written consent of the Insurer.

         No reference to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the
Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute

                        [FORM OF STATEMENT OF INSURANCE]

                              (the "Insurer") has issued a policy containing the
following provisions, such policy being on file at the office of The Bank of New
York, New York, New York.

[                     ] (the "Insurer"), in consideration of the payment of the
premium and subject to the terms of this policy, hereby unconditionally and
irrevocably guarantees to any owner, as hereinafter defined, of the following
described obligations, the full and complete payment required to be made by or
on behalf of the Issuer to The Bank of New York or its successor (the "Paying
Agent") of an amount equal to (i) the principal of the Obligations (as that term
is defined below) on the initial mandatory tender date of [             ] and
interest on the Obligations as such payments become due on and prior to such
initial mandatory tender date but shall not be so paid (except that in the event
of any acceleration of the due date of such principal by reason of mandatory or
optional redemption, or acceleration resulting from default or otherwise, the
payments guaranteed hereby shall be made in such amounts and at such times as
such payments of principal would have been due had there not been any such
acceleration); and (ii) the reimbursement of any such payment which is
subsequently recovered from any owner pursuant to a final judgment by a court of
competent jurisdiction that such payment constitutes an avoidable preference to
such owner within the meaning of any applicable bankruptcy law. The amounts
referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) of the preceding sentence shall be referred
to herein collectively as the "Insured Amounts." "Obligations" shall mean:

                                [$                          ]

Upon receipt of telephonic or telegraphic notice, such notice subsequently
confirmed in writing by registered or certified mail, or upon receipt of written
notice by registered or certified mail, by the Insurer from the Paying Agent or
any owner of an Obligation the payment of an Insured Amount for which is then
due, that such required payment has not been made, the Insurer on the due date
of such payment or within one business day after receipt of notice of such
nonpayment, whichever is later, will make a deposit of funds, in an account with
[                                                                    ], in New
York, New York, or its successor, sufficient for the payment of any such Insured
Amounts which are then due. Upon presentment and surrender of such Obligations
or presentment of such other proof of ownership of the Obligations, together
with any appropriate instruments of assignment to evidence the assignment of the
Insured Amounts due on the Obligations as are paid by the Insurer, and
appropriate instruments to effect the appointment of the Insurer as agent for
such owners of the Obligations in any legal proceeding related to payment of
Insured Amounts on the Obligations, such instruments being in a form
satisfactory to [
   ] shall disburse to such owners, or the Paying Agent payment of the Insured
Amounts due on such Obligations, less any amount held by the Paying Agent for
the payment of such Insured Amounts

                                      A-39
<PAGE>   81

and legally available therefor. This policy does not insure against loss of any
prepayment premium which may at any time be payable with respect to any
Obligation.

As used herein, the term "owner" shall mean the registered owner of any
Obligation as indicated in the books maintained by the Paying Agent, the Issuer,
or any designee of the Issuer for such purpose. The term owner shall not include
the Issuer or any party whose agreement with the Issuer constitutes the
underlying security for the Obligations.

Any service of process on the Insurer may be made to the Insurer at its offices
located at [                                                   ] and such
service of process shall be valid and binding.

This policy is non-cancellable for any reason. The premium on this policy is not
refundable for any reason including the payment prior to maturity of the
Obligations.

This policy is not covered by the Property/Casualty Insurance Security Fund
specified in Article 76 of the New York Insurance Law.

or any interest on this Note on or after the respective due dates expressed
herein.
