instrument  or  instruments  (and the  action  embodied  therein  and  evidenced
thereby) are herein  sometimes  referred to as the "Act" of the Holders  signing

a writing  appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this

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

     The ownership of Securities shall be proved by the Security Register.

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

     The Company may set any day as a record date for the purpose of determining
the Holders of Outstanding  Securities of any series  entitled to give,  make or
take any request, demand,  authorization,  direction, notice, consent, waiver or
other action provided or permitted by this Indenture to be given,  made or taken
by Holders of Securities of such series, PROVIDED that the Company may not set a

                                      -8-
<PAGE>
record  date for,  and the  provisions  of this  paragraph  shall not apply with
respect  to,  the  giving or  making  of any  notice,  declaration,  request  or
direction referred to in the next paragraph.  If any record date is set pursuant
to this paragraph,  the Holders of Outstanding Securities of the relevant series
on such  record  date,  and no  other  Holders,  shall be  entitled  to take the
relevant  action,  whether or not such Holders  remain Holders after such record
date;  PROVIDED that no such action shall be effective hereunder unless taken on
or prior to the applicable Expiration Date by Holders of the requisite principal
amount of Outstanding  Securities of such series on such record date. Nothing in
this  paragraph  shall be  construed  to prevent the Company  from setting a new
record  date for any  action  for which a record  date has  previously  been set
pursuant  to this  paragraph  (whereupon  the record date  previously  set shall
automatically  and with no action by any Person be cancelled  and of no effect),
and nothing in this  paragraph  shall be  construed  to render  ineffective  any
action  taken by  Holders  of the  requisite  principal  amount  of  Outstanding
Securities  of the  relevant  series on the date such action is taken.  Promptly
after any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Company, at its own
expense,  shall cause notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders
and the applicable  Expiration Date to be given to the Trustee in writing and to
each  Holder of  Securities  of the  relevant  series in the manner set forth in
Section 106.

     The Trustee may set any day as a record date for the purpose of determining
the  Holders of  Outstanding  Securities  of any series  entitled to join in the
giving  or  making  of (i) any  Notice  of  Default,  (ii)  any  declaration  of
acceleration  referred  to in  Section  502,  (iii)  any  request  to  institute
proceedings  referred to in Section 507(2) or (iv) any direction  referred to in
Section 512, in each case with  respect to  Securities  of such  series.  If any
record  date is set  pursuant  to this  paragraph,  the  Holders of  Outstanding
Securities of such series on such record date,  and no other  Holders,  shall be
entitled to join in such notice, declaration,  request or direction,  whether or
not such Holders  remain  Holders after such record date;  PROVIDED that no such
action shall be effective  hereunder  unless taken on or prior to the applicable
Expiration  Date by Holders of the  requisite  principal  amount of  Outstanding
Securities of such series on such record date.  Nothing in this paragraph  shall
be  construed  to prevent  the  Trustee  from  setting a new record date for any
action  for  which a  record  date has  previously  been  set  pursuant  to this
paragraph (whereupon the record date previously set shall automatically and with
no action by any Person be  cancelled  and of no  effect),  and  nothing in this
paragraph  shall be construed to render  ineffective any action taken by Holders
of the  requisite  principal  amount of  Outstanding  Securities of the relevant
series on the date such action is taken.  Promptly  after any record date is set
pursuant to this paragraph,  the Trustee, at the Company's expense,  shall cause
notice of such record date,  the proposed  action by Holders and the  applicable
Expiration  Date to be given to the  Company  in writing  and to each  Holder of
Securities of the relevant series in the manner set forth in Section 106.

     With  respect to any record date set  pursuant to this  Section,  the party
hereto which sets such record  dates may  designate  any day as the  "Expiration
Date" and from time to time may change  the  Expiration  Date to any  earlier or
later day;  PROVIDED that no such change shall be effective unless notice of the
proposed new Expiration Date is given to the other party hereto in writing,  and
to each Holder of Securities  of the relevant  series in the manner set forth in
Section 106, on or prior to the existing  Expiration Date. If an Expiration Date

                                      -9-
<PAGE>
is not designated  with respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section,
the party  hereto  which set such record date shall be deemed to have  initially
designated  the 180th day after such  record  date as the  Expiration  Date with
respect thereto,  subject to its right to change the Expiration Date as provided
in this paragraph.  Notwithstanding  the foregoing,  no Expiration Date shall be
later than the 180th day after the applicable record date.

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

by such event, at his address as it appears in the Security Register,  not later
than the latest date (if any),  and not earlier than the earliest date (if any),
prescribed for the giving of such notice. In any case where notice to Holders is
given by mail,  neither the failure to mail such  notice,  nor any defect in any
notice so mailed,  to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such
notice with respect to other Holders.  Where this Indenture  provides for notice
in any manner,  such  notice may be waived in writing by the Person  entitled to
receive such notice,  either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be

     the last paragraph of Section 305 in which any such Global  Security may be

to  denomination  and except as may  otherwise be provided in or pursuant to the
Board  Resolution  referred to above and (subject to Section 303) set forth,  or
determined  in the manner  provided,  in the Officers'  Certificate  referred to
above or in any such indenture supplemental hereto.

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

SECTION 302. DENOMINATIONS.

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

SECTION 303. EXECUTION, AUTHENTICATION, DELIVERY AND DATING.

     The  Securities  shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman
of the Board,  its Vice Chairman of the Board,  its President or one of its Vice
Presidents,  under  its  corporate  seal  reproduced  thereon  attested  by  its
Secretary or one of its  Assistant  Secretaries  or Associate  Secretaries.  The
signature of any of these officers on the Securities may be manual or facsimile.

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

     At any time and from time to time after the  execution and delivery of this
Indenture,  the  Company may deliver  Securities  of any series  executed by the
Company to the Trustee for authentication, together with a Company Order for the
authentication  and delivery of such  Securities,  and the Trustee in accordance
with the Company Order shall  authenticate and deliver such  Securities.  If the
form or terms of the  Securities  of the  series  have  been  established  by or
pursuant to one or more Board  Resolutions as permitted by Sections 201 and 301,
in authenticating such Securities, and accepting the additional responsibilities
under this  Indenture  in relation  to such  Securities,  the  Trustee  shall be

                                      -21-
<PAGE>
entitled to receive,  and (subject to Section  601) shall be fully  protected in
relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating,

          (1) if the form of such Securities has been established by or pursuant
     to Board  Resolution  as permitted by Section 201,  that such form has been
     established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture;

          (2) if the  terms  of such  Securities  have  been  established  by or
     pursuant to Board  Resolution  as permitted by Section 301, that such terms
     have been  established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture;
     and

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

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

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

     Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication.

     No Security  shall be entitled to any benefit  under this  Indenture  or be
valid or  obligatory  for any purpose  unless there  appears on such  Security a
certificate  of  authentication  substantially  in the form  provided for herein
executed  by the  Trustee by manual  signature,  and such  certificate  upon any
Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security
has  been  duly  authenticated  and  delivered  hereunder.  Notwithstanding  the
foregoing, if any Security shall have been authenticated and delivered hereunder
but never issued and sold by the  Company,  and the Company  shall  deliver such
Security to the Trustee for  cancellation  as provided in Section  309,  for all
purposes of this  Indenture  such  Security  shall be deemed  never to have been
authenticated  and  delivered  hereunder  and  shall  never be  entitled  to the
benefits of this Indenture.

SECTION 304. TEMPORARY SECURITIES.

     Pending the preparation of definitive Securities of any series, the Company
may execute,  and upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver,
temporary Securities which are printed, lithographed,  typewritten, mimeographed

                                      -22-
<PAGE>
or otherwise  produced,  in any authorized  denomination,  substantially  of the
tenor of the  definitive  Securities  in lieu of which  they are issued and with
such appropriate  insertions,  omissions,  substitutions and other variations as
the officers  executing such  Securities  may  determine,  as evidenced by their
execution of such Securities.

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

SECTION 305. REGISTRATION, REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE.

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

     Upon surrender for  registration of transfer of any Security of a series at
the office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment for that  series,  the
Company shall execute,  and the Trustee shall  authenticate and deliver,  in the
name of the designated transferee or transferees,  one or more new Securities of
the same series, of any authorized denominations and of like tenor and aggregate
principal amount.

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

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

     Every Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for
exchange  shall (if so required by the Company or the Trustee) be duly endorsed,
or be accompanied by a written  instrument of transfer in form  satisfactory  to

                                      -23-
<PAGE>
the Company and the Security  Registrar duly executed,  by the Holder thereof or
his attorney duly authorized in writing.

     No  service  charge  shall  be made for any  registration  of  transfer  or
exchange of Securities,  but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient
to cover any tax or other governmental  charge that may be imposed in connection
with any  registration  of  transfer  or  exchange  of  Securities,  other  than
exchanges pursuant to Section 304, 906 or 1107 not involving any transfer.

     If the Securities of any series (or of any series and specified  tenor) are
to be redeemed in part, the Company shall not be required (A) to issue, register
the transfer of or exchange any Securities of that series (or of that series and
specified tenor, as the case may be) during a period beginning at the opening of
business 15 days before the day of the mailing of a notice of  redemption of any
such  Securities  selected for  redemption  under Section 1103 and ending at the
close of business on the day of such mailing, or (B) to register the transfer of
or exchange any Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part,  except
the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part.

     The  provisions  of Clauses (1), (2), (3) and (4) below shall apply only to
Global Securities:

          (1) Each Global Security  authenticated  under this Indenture shall be
     registered  in the  name  of the  Depositary  designated  for  such  Global
     Security or a nominee thereof and delivered to such Depositary or a nominee
     thereof  or  custodian  therefor,  and  each  such  Global  Security  shall
     constitute a single Security for all purposes of this Indenture.

          (2) Notwithstanding  any other provision in this Indenture,  no Global
     Security may be exchanged  in whole or in part for  Securities  registered,
     and no transfer of a Global Security in whole or in part may be registered,
     in the name of any  Person  other  than  the  Depositary  for  such  Global
     Security or a nominee  thereof unless (A) such  Depositary (i) has notified
     the Company that it is unwilling  or unable to continue as  Depositary  for
     such Global Security or (ii) has ceased to be a clearing agency  registered
     under the Exchange  Act, (B) there shall have occurred and be continuing an
     Event of Default  with  respect to such Global  Security or (C) there shall
     exist  such  circumstances,  if  any,  in  addition  to or in  lieu  of the
     foregoing  as have been  specified  for this  purpose  as  contemplated  by
     Section 301.

          (3) Subject to Clause (2) above, any exchange of a Global Security for
     other Securities may be made in whole or in part, and all Securities issued
     in  exchange  for a  Global  Security  or  any  portion  thereof  shall  be
     registered in such names as the Depositary  for such Global  Security shall
     direct.

          (4) Every Security  authenticated  and delivered upon  registration of
     transfer  of, or in  exchange  for or in lieu of, a Global  Security or any
     portion thereof, whether pursuant to this Section, Section 304, 306, 906 or
     1107 or otherwise, shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and
     shall be, a Global Security, unless such Security is registered in the name
     of a Person other than the Depositary for such Global Security or a nominee
     thereof.

                                      -24-

SECTION 306. MUTILATED, DESTROYED, LOST AND STOLEN SECURITIES.

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

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

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

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

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

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

SECTION 307. PAYMENT OF INTEREST; INTEREST RIGHTS PRESERVED.

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

     Any  interest on any  Security of any series  which is payable,  but is not
punctually  paid or duly  provided  for, on any  Interest  Payment  Date (herein
called  "Defaulted  Interest") shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder
on the relevant  Regular  Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder,  and
such  Defaulted  Interest  may be paid by the  Company,  at its election in each
case, as provided in Clause (1) or (2) below:

                                      -25-
<PAGE>
          (1) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to
     the  Persons  in whose  names  the  Securities  of such  series  (or  their
     respective Predecessor  Securities) are registered at the close of business
     on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest,  which
     shall be fixed in the  following  manner.  The  Company  shall  notify  the
     Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted  Interest proposed to be paid
     on each Security of such series and the date of the proposed  payment,  and
     at the same time the Company  shall  deposit  with the Trustee an amount of
     money equal to the aggregate  amount proposed to be paid in respect of such
     Defaulted  Interest or shall make arrangements  satisfactory to the Trustee
     for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when
     deposited  to be held in trust for the benefit of the  Persons  entitled to
     such Defaulted  Interest as in this Clause provided.  Thereupon the Trustee
     shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted  Interest
     which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the
     date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by
     the  Trustee of the  notice of the  proposed  payment.  The  Trustee  shall
     promptly  notify the Company of such  Special  Record Date and, in the name
     and at the  expense of the  Company,  shall  cause  notice of the  proposed
     payment of such Defaulted  Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to
     be given to each  Holder of  Securities  of such  series in the  manner set
     forth in Section 106,  not less than 10 days prior to such  Special  Record
     Date.  Notice of the proposed  payment of such  Defaulted  Interest and the
     Special Record Date therefor having been so mailed, such Defaulted Interest
     shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the  Securities  of such series
     (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of
     business  on such  Special  Record  Date and  shall no  longer  be  payable
     pursuant to the following Clause (2).

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

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

SECTION 308. PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS.

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

                                      -26-
<PAGE>
SECTION 309. CANCELLATION.

     All  Securities  surrendered  for  payment,  redemption,   registration  of
transfer or exchange or for credit  against any sinking fund payment  shall,  if
surrendered  to any Person other than the  Trustee,  be delivered to the Trustee
and shall be promptly  cancelled  by it. The Company may at any time  deliver to
the  Trustee  for  cancellation  any  Securities  previously  authenticated  and
delivered   hereunder  which  the  Company  may  have  acquired  in  any  manner
whatsoever,  and may deliver to the Trustee (or to any other Person for delivery
to  the  Trustee)  for  cancellation  any  Securities  previously  authenticated
hereunder  which the  Company  has not issued and sold,  and all  Securities  so
delivered  shall be promptly  cancelled by the Trustee.  No Securities  shall be
authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Securities cancelled as provided
in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture.  All cancelled
Securities  held by the  Trustee  shall be  disposed of as directed by a Company
Order; provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be required to destroy such
cancelled Securities.

SECTION 310. COMPUTATION OF INTEREST.

     Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for Securities
of any series,  interest on the  Securities  of each series shall be computed on
the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

SECTION 311. CUSIP NUMBERS.

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

                           SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE

SECTION 401. SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE.

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

     furtherance of any such action; or

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

SECTION 502. ACCELERATION OF MATURITY; RESCISSION AND ANNULMENT.

     If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section
501(5)  or  501(6))  with  respect  to  Securities  of any  series  at the  time
Outstanding occurs and is continuing, then in every such case the Trustee or the
Holders of not less than 25% in principal  amount of the Outstanding  Securities
of that series may declare the  principal  amount of all the  Securities of that
series  (or,  if any  Securities  of that  series are  Original  Issue  Discount
Securities,  such portion of the principal  amount of such  Securities as may be
specified by the terms thereof) 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.  If an Event of Default specified in Section 501(5)
or 501(6)  with  respect to  Securities  of any  series at the time  Outstanding
occurs,  the principal  amount of all the  Securities of that series (or, if any
Securities of that series are Original Issue Discount  Securities,  such portion
of the  principal  amount of such  Securities  as may be  specified by the terms
thereof) shall automatically, and without any declaration or other action on the
part of the Trustee or any Holder, become immediately due and payable.

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

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

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

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

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

                                      -30-
<PAGE>
          (D) all  sums  paid  or  advanced  by the  Trustee  hereunder  and the
     reasonable  compensation,  expenses,  disbursements  and  advances  of  the
     Trustee, its agents and counsel;

     and

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

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

SECTION 503. COLLECTION OF INDEBTEDNESS AND SUITS FOR ENFORCEMENT BY TRUSTEE.

     The Company covenants that if

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

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

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

     If an Event of Default with respect to  Securities of any series occurs and
is continuing,  the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce
its rights and the rights of the  Holders of  Securities  of such series by such
appropriate  judicial  proceedings  as the Trustee shall deem most  effectual to
protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any
covenant or agreement  in this  Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power
granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy.

SECTION 504. TRUSTEE MAY FILE PROOFS OF CLAIM.

     In case of any  judicial  proceeding  relative to the Company (or any other
obligor upon the Securities),  its property or its creditors,  the Trustee shall
be entitled and empowered,  by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise,  to
take any and all actions  authorized  under the Trust  Indenture Act in order to
have claims of the Holders and the Trustee  allowed in any such  proceeding.  In
particular, the Trustee shall be authorized to collect and receive any moneys or
other  property  payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the
same; and any custodian,  receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator,  sequestrator
or other similar official in any such judicial  proceeding is hereby  authorized

                                      -31-
<PAGE>
by each Holder to make such  payments to the Trustee  and, in the event that the
Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to
pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation,  expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other
amounts due the Trustee under Section 607.

         No provision of this Indenture shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee
to  authorize  or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan
of  reorganization,   arrangement,   adjustment  or  composition  affecting  the
Securities  or the rights of any Holder  thereof or to authorize  the Trustee to
vote in  respect of the claim of any  Holder in any such  proceeding;  PROVIDED,
HOWEVER,  that the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders,  vote for the election
of a trustee in bankruptcy  or similar  official and be a member of a creditors'
or other similar committee.

SECTION 505. TRUSTEE MAY ENFORCE CLAIMS WITHOUT POSSESSION OF SECURITIES.

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

SECTION 506. APPLICATION OF MONEY COLLECTED.

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

     FIRST: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee under Section 607; and

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

SECTION 507. LIMITATION ON SUITS.

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

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

                                      -32-
<PAGE>
          (2) the  Holders  of not less  than  25% in  principal  amount  of the
     Outstanding  Securities  of that series shall have made written  request to
     the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in
     its own name as Trustee hereunder;

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

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

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

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

SECTION 508. UNCONDITIONAL RIGHT OF HOLDERS TO RECEIVE PRINCIPAL,
             PREMIUM AND INTEREST.

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

SECTION 509. RESTORATION OF RIGHTS AND REMEDIES.

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

SECTION 510. RIGHTS AND REMEDIES CUMULATIVE.

     Except as otherwise  provided with respect to the replacement or payment of
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities in the last paragraph of Section
306, no right or remedy herein  conferred  upon or reserved to the Trustee or to
the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy,  and every
right and remedy shall,  to the extent  permitted by law, be  cumulative  and in
addition to every other right and remedy  given  hereunder  or now or  hereafter
existing at law or in equity or  otherwise.  The  assertion or employment of any

                                      -33-
<PAGE>
right or remedy  hereunder,  or  otherwise,  shall not  prevent  the  concurrent
assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

SECTION 511. DELAY OR OMISSION NOT WAIVER.

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

SECTION 512. CONTROL BY HOLDERS.

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

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

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

          (3) subject to the  provisions  of Section 601, the Trustee shall have
     the right to decline to follow any such  direction  if the  Trustee in good
     faith shall, by a Responsible Officer or Officers of the Trustee, determine
     that the  proceedings  so  directed  would  involve the Trustee in personal
     liability.

SECTION 513. WAIVER OF PAST DEFAULTS.

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

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

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

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

SECTION 514.  UNDERTAKING FOR COSTS.

     In any  suit  for  the  enforcement  of any  right  or  remedy  under  this
Indenture,  or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or
omitted by it as Trustee, a court may require any party litigant in such suit to
file an  undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and may assess costs against

                                      -34-
<PAGE>
any such party  litigant,  in the manner and to the extent provided in the Trust
Indenture  Act;  PROVIDED that neither this Section nor the Trust  Indenture Act
shall be deemed to authorize any court to require such an undertaking or to make
such an assessment in any suit instituted by the Company or the Trustee.

SECTION 515. WAIVER OF USURY, STAY OR EXTENSION LAWS.

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

SECTION 601. CERTAIN DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES.

     The duties and  responsibilities of the Trustee shall be as provided by the
Trust  Indenture  Act.  Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  no  provision  of this
Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise
incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder,
or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers,  if it shall have  reasonable
grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against
such risk or liability is not  reasonably  assured to it. Whether or not therein
expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct
or affecting  the  liability of or affording  protection to the Trustee shall be
subject to the provisions of this Section.

SECTION 602. NOTICE OF DEFAULTS.

     If a default occurs hereunder with respect to Securities of any series, the
Trustee  shall give the  Holders of  Securities  of such  series  notice of such
default as and to the extent  provided  by the Trust  Indenture  Act;  PROVIDED,
HOWEVER,  that in the case of any default of the character  specified in Section
501(4) with  respect to  Securities  of such  series,  no such notice to Holders
shall be given  until at least 30 days  after the  occurrence  thereof.  For the
purpose of this Section,  the term "default"  means any event which is, or after
notice or lapse of time or both would  become,  an Event of Default with respect
to Securities of such series.

SECTION 603. CERTAIN RIGHTS OF TRUSTEE.

     evidence  be herein  specifically  prescribed)  may,  in the absence of bad
     faith on its part, rely upon an Officers' Certificate;

          (4) the Trustee  may consult  with  counsel of its  selection  and the

     instrument,  opinion, report, notice, request,  direction,  consent, order,
     bond,  debenture,  note,  other evidence of  indebtedness or other paper or
     document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry
     or investigation  into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the
     Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or  investigation,  it
     shall be  entitled  to  examine  the books,  records  and  premises  of the
     Company, personally or by agent or attorney; and

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

SECTION 604. NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR RECITALS OR ISSUANCE OF SECURITIES.

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

                                      -36-
<PAGE>
any Authenticating  Agent shall be accountable for the use or application by the
Company of Securities or the proceeds thereof.

SECTION 605. MAY HOLD SECURITIES.

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

SECTION 606. MONEY HELD IN TRUST.

     Money held by the Trustee in trust  hereunder  need not be segregated  from
other funds except to the extent  required by law. The Trustee shall be under no
liability for interest on any money received by it hereunder except as otherwise
agreed in writing with the Company.

SECTION 607. COMPENSATION AND REIMBURSEMENT.

     The Company agrees

          (1) to pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation as shall
     be agreed  to in  writing  between  the  Company  and the  Trustee  for all
     services rendered by it hereunder (which  compensation shall not be limited
     by any  provision of law in regard to the  compensation  of a trustee of an
     express trust);

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

          (3) to indemnify the Trustee for, and to hold it harmless against, any
     loss,  liability or expense incurred without negligence or bad faith on its
     part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration
     of the trust or trusts  hereunder,  including  the  costs and  expenses  of
     defending  itself  against any claim or  liability in  connection  with the
     exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder.

     The Trustee  shall have a lien prior to the  Securities  as to all property
and  funds  held by it  hereunder  for any  amount  owing it or any  predecessor
Trustee pursuant to this Section 607, except with respect to funds held in trust
for the benefit of the Holders of particular Securities.

     When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders  services in connection with an
Event of Default  specified in Section  501(5) or Section  501(6),  the expenses
(including  the  reasonable  charges  and  expenses  of  its  counsel)  and  the
compensation   for  the  services  are  intended  to   constitute   expenses  of

                                      -37-
<PAGE>
administration  under any applicable Federal or State bankruptcy,  insolvency or
other similar law.

     The  provisions  of this  Section  shall  survive the  termination  of this
Indenture.

SECTION 608. CONFLICTING INTERESTS.

     If the  Trustee  has or shall  acquire a  conflicting  interest  within the
meaning of the Trust  Indenture  Act, the Trustee  shall either  eliminate  such
interest or resign,  to the extent and in the manner provided by, and subject to
the provisions  of, the Trust  Indenture Act and this  Indenture.  To the extent
permitted  by such Act,  the Trustee  shall not be deemed to have a  conflicting
interest  by virtue of being a trustee  under  this  Indenture  with  respect to
Securities of more than one series.

SECTION 609. CORPORATE TRUSTEE REQUIRED; ELIGIBILITY.

     There  shall at all  times be one (and  only one)  Trustee  hereunder  with
respect to the  Securities  of each series,  which may be Trustee  hereunder for
Securities of one or more other  series.  Each Trustee shall be a Person that is
eligible  pursuant to the Trust  Indenture Act to act as such and has a combined
capital  and  surplus  of at least  $50,000,000.  If any such  Person  publishes
reports of condition at least annually,  pursuant to law or to the  requirements
of its supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section
and to the extent permitted by the Trust Indenture Act, the combined capital and
surplus of such Person shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as
set forth in its most recent  report of condition so  published.  If at any time
the  Trustee  with  respect to the  Securities  of any series  shall cease to be
eligible in accordance  with the  provisions  of this  Section,  it shall resign
immediately  in the  manner and with the effect  hereinafter  specified  in this
Article.

SECTION 610. RESIGNATION AND REMOVAL; APPOINTMENT OF SUCCESSOR.

     No  resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor
Trustee  pursuant to this Article shall become effective until the acceptance of
appointment  by  the  successor   Trustee  in  accordance  with  the  applicable
requirements of Section 611.

     The Trustee may resign at any time with respect to the Securities of one or
more series by giving written  notice thereof to the Company.  If the instrument
of acceptance by a successor Trustee required by Section 611 shall not have been
delivered  to the  Trustee  within 30 days  after the  giving of such  notice of
resignation,   the  resigning  Trustee  may  petition  any  court  of  competent
jurisdiction  for the  appointment  of a successor  Trustee  with respect to the
Securities of such series.

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

     If at any time:

                                      -38-
<PAGE>
          (1) the Trustee  shall fail to comply with  Section 608 after  written
     request  therefor  by the Company or by any Holder who has been a bona fide
     Holder of a Security for at least six months, or

          (2) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 609 and shall
     fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any such
     Holder, or

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

then,  in any such case,  (A) the Company by a Board  Resolution  may remove the
Trustee  with  respect to all  Securities,  or (B) subject to Section  514,  any
Holder  who has been a bona fide  Holder of a  Security  for at least six months
may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated,  petition any court
of  competent  jurisdiction  for the removal of the Trustee  with respect to all
Securities and the appointment of a successor Trustee or Trustees.

     If the Trustee shall resign,  be removed or become incapable of acting,  or
if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause, with respect to
the Securities of one or more series, the Company, by a Board Resolution,  shall
promptly appoint a successor  Trustee or Trustees with respect to the Securities
of that or those series (it being understood that any such successor Trustee may
be appointed with respect to the Securities of one or more or all of such series
and  that at any  time  there  shall be only one  Trustee  with  respect  to the
Securities  of any  particular  series)  and shall  comply  with the  applicable
requirements of Section 611. If, within one year after such resignation, removal
or  incapability,  or the occurrence of such vacancy,  a successor  Trustee with
respect to the Securities of any series shall be appointed by Act of the Holders
of a majority in principal  amount of the Outstanding  Securities of such series
delivered  to the Company and the retiring  Trustee,  the  successor  Trustee so
appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment in accordance
with the applicable  requirements of Section 611,  become the successor  Trustee
with respect to the  Securities of such series and to that extent  supersede the
successor Trustee appointed by the Company. If no successor Trustee with respect
to the  Securities  of any series shall have been so appointed by the Company or
the Holders and accepted  appointment in the manner required by Section 611, any
Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of such series for at least
six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition
any court of competent  jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor  Trustee
with respect to the Securities of such series.

     The Company shall give notice of each  resignation  and each removal of the
Trustee with respect to the  Securities of any series and each  appointment of a
successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series to all Holders of
Securities  of such series in the manner  provided in Section  106.  Each notice
shall include the name of the successor  Trustee with respect to the  Securities
of such series and the address of its Corporate Trust Office.

SECTION 611. ACCEPTANCE OF APPOINTMENT BY SUCCESSOR.

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

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

     Upon request of any such successor  Trustee,  the Company shall execute any
and all  instruments  for more fully and certainly  vesting in and confirming to
such  successor  Trustee all such rights,  powers and trusts  referred to in the
first or second preceding paragraph, as the case may be.

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

SECTION 612. MERGER, CONVERSION, CONSOLIDATION OR SUCCESSION TO BUSINESS.

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

SECTION 613. PREFERENTIAL COLLECTION OF CLAIMS AGAINST COMPANY.

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

SECTION 614. APPOINTMENT OF AUTHENTICATING AGENT.

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

     Any  corporation  into  which an  Authenticating  Agent  may be  merged  or
converted or with which it may be  consolidated,  or any  corporation  resulting
from any merger,  conversion or consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent
shall be a party, or any corporation  succeeding to all or substantially  all of
the corporate  agency or corporate  trust business of an  Authenticating  Agent,
shall continue to be an Authenticating Agent, provided such corporation shall be

                                      -41-
<PAGE>
otherwise  eligible  under this Section,  without the execution or filing of any
paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent.

     An  Authenticating  Agent may resign at any time by giving  written  notice
thereof to the Trustee and to the Company. The Trustee may at any time terminate
the agency of an  Authenticating  Agent by giving written notice thereof to such
Authenticating  Agent  and to the  Company.  Upon  receiving  such a  notice  of
resignation  or  upon  such  a  termination,   or  in  case  at  any  time  such
Authenticating  Agent  shall  cease  to  be  eligible  in  accordance  with  the
provisions of this Section,  the Trustee may appoint a successor  Authenticating
Agent  which  shall be  acceptable  to the Company and shall give notice of such
appointment  in the manner  provided in Section 106 to all Holders of Securities
of the series with respect to which such  Authenticating  Agent will serve.  Any
successor  Authenticating  Agent upon  acceptance of its  appointment  hereunder
shall become  vested with all the rights,  powers and duties of its  predecessor
hereunder,  with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating  Agent.
No successor  Authenticating  Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the
provisions of this Section.

     The Company  agrees to pay to each  Authenticating  Agent from time to time
reasonable compensation for its services under this Section.

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

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

     such  addition,  change or  elimination  (A) shall neither (i) apply to any
     Security of any series created prior to the execution of such  supplemental
     indenture and entitled to the benefit of such provision nor (ii) modify the
     rights of the Holder of any such Security with respect to such provision or
     (B) shall become effective only when there is no such Security Outstanding;
     or

     of Section 611; or

          (9) to cure any  ambiguity,  to correct or  supplement  any  provision
     herein  which may be  defective or  inconsistent  with any other  provision
     herein,  or to make  any  other  provisions  with  respect  to  matters  or
     questions arising under this Indenture,  PROVIDED that such action pursuant
     to this Clause (9) shall not adversely  affect the interests of the Holders
     of Securities of any series in any material respect.

SECTION 902. SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES WITH CONSENT OF HOLDERS.

     With the  consent  of the  Holders of not less than  66-2/3%  in  principal
amount  of  the   Outstanding   Securities  of  each  series  affected  by  such
supplemental  indenture, by Act of said Holders delivered to the Company and the

     Original Issue  Discount  Security or any other Security which would be due
     and payable upon a  declaration  of  acceleration  of the Maturity  thereof
     pursuant to Section 502, or change any Place of Payment where,  or the coin
     or currency in which,  any  Security or any premium or interest  thereon is
     payable,  or impair the right to institute suit for the  enforcement of any
     such  payment on or after the Stated  Maturity  thereof (or, in the case of
     redemption, on or after the Redemption Date), or

     Indenture, or

                                      -46-
<PAGE>
          (3) modify  any of the  provisions  of this  Section,  Section  513 or

     Trustee" and  concomitant  changes in this Section and Section 1008, or the
     deletion of this proviso,  in accordance with the  requirements of Sections
     611 and 901(8).

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

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

                                    COVENANTS

SECTION 1001. PAYMENT OF PRINCIPAL, PREMIUM AND INTEREST.

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

SECTION 1002. MAINTENANCE OF OFFICE OR AGENCY.

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

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

SECTION 1003. MONEY FOR SECURITIES PAYMENTS TO BE HELD IN TRUST.

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

     Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents for any series of
Securities,  it will,  prior to each due date of the principal of or any premium

                                      -48-
<PAGE>
or interest on any Securities of that series,  deposit with a Paying Agent a sum
sufficient  to pay such  amount,  such sum to be held as  provided  by the Trust
Indenture  Act,  and (unless  such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company will
promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act.

     The Company will cause each Paying Agent for any series of Securities other
than the Trustee to execute and  deliver to the Trustee an  instrument  in which
such Paying Agent shall agree with the  Trustee,  subject to the  provisions  of
this Section,  that such Paying Agent will (1) comply with the provisions of the
Trust  Indenture  Act  applicable  to it as a Paying  Agent and (2)  during  the
continuance  of any  default  by the  Company  (or any  other  obligor  upon the
Securities  of that  series)  in the  making of any  payment  in  respect of the
Securities of that series,  upon the written  request of the Trustee,  forthwith
pay to the Trustee  all sums held in trust by such  Paying  Agent for payment in
respect of the Securities of that series.

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

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

SECTION 1004. STATEMENT BY OFFICERS AS TO DEFAULT.

     The Company will  deliver to the Trustee,  within 120 days after the end of
each fiscal year of the  Company  ending  after the date  hereof,  an  Officers'
Certificate, stating whether or not to the best knowledge of the signers thereof
the Company is in default in the performance and observance of any of the terms,
provisions  and conditions of this  Indenture  (without  regard to any period of
grace or requirement of notice provided  hereunder) and, if the Company shall be
in default,  specifying  all such defaults and the nature and status  thereof of
which they may have knowledge.

     Subject  to  Article  Eight,  the  Company  will do or cause to be done all
things  necessary to preserve  and keep in full force and effect its  existence,
rights  (charter and  statutory) and  franchises;  PROVIDED,  HOWEVER,  that the
Company  shall not be required to preserve  any such right or  franchise  if the
Board of Directors  shall determine that the  preservation  thereof is no longer
desirable  in the  conduct  of the  business  of the  Company  and that the loss
thereof is not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders.

SECTION 1006. MAINTENANCE OF PROPERTIES.

     The Company will cause all properties  used or useful in the conduct of its
business or the business of any  Subsidiary  to be  maintained  and kept in good
condition,  repair and working order and supplied  with all necessary  equipment
and  will  cause  to be made  all  necessary  repairs,  renewals,  replacements,
betterments and improvements  thereof, all as in the judgment of the Company may
be necessary  so that the business  carried on in  connection  therewith  may be
properly and  advantageously  conducted at all times;  PROVIDED,  HOWEVER,  that
nothing in this  Section  shall  prevent  the  Company  from  discontinuing  the
operation or maintenance of any of such properties if such discontinuance is, in
the  judgment of the  Company,  desirable  in the conduct of its business or the
business of any Subsidiary and not  disadvantageous  in any material  respect to
the Holders.

SECTION 1007. PAYMENT OF TAXES AND OTHER CLAIMS.

     The Company will pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged, before
the same shall become  delinquent,  (1) all taxes,  assessments and governmental
charges levied or imposed upon the Company or any Subsidiary or upon the income,
profits or property of the Company or any Subsidiary,  and (2) all lawful claims
for labor,  materials and supplies which, if unpaid,  might by law become a lien
upon the property of the Company or any Subsidiary;  PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the
Company  shall  not be  required  to pay or  discharge  or  cause  to be paid or
discharged any such tax, assessment, charge or claim whose amount, applicability
or validity is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings.

SECTION 1008. WAIVER OF CERTAIN COVENANTS.

     Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for Securities
of such series,  the Company may, with respect to the  Securities of any series,
omit in any particular instance to comply with any term,  provision or condition
set forth in any covenant provided pursuant to Section 301(18), 901(2) or 901(7)
for the  benefit  of the  Holders  of such  series if  before  the time for such
compliance  the  Holders  of  at  least  66-2/3%  in  principal  amount  of  the
Outstanding  Securities  of such series shall,  by Act of such  Holders,  either
waive such compliance in such instance or generally  waive  compliance with such
term, provision or condition,  but no such waiver shall extend to or affect such
term,  provision or condition  except to the extent so  expressly  waived,  and,
until such waiver shall become effective, the obligations of the Company and the
duties of the Trustee in respect of any such term,  provision or condition shall
remain in full force and effect.

     The  Company  shall  file  with  the  Trustee  promptly  at the end of each

                                 ARTICLE ELEVEN

                            REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES

SECTION 1101. APPLICABILITY OF ARTICLE.

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

SECTION 1102. ELECTION TO REDEEM; NOTICE TO TRUSTEE.

     The election of the Company to redeem any Securities  shall be evidenced by
a Board Resolution or in another manner specified as contemplated by Section 301
for such  Securities.  In case of any redemption at the election of the Company,
the Company shall,  at least 60 days prior to the  Redemption  Date fixed by the
Company (unless a shorter notice shall be  satisfactory to the Trustee),  notify
the Trustee of such  Redemption  Date, of the principal  amount of Securities of
such series to be redeemed and, if applicable, of the tenor of the Securities to
be redeemed. In the case of any redemption of Securities prior to the expiration
of any restriction on such  redemption  provided in the terms of such Securities
or elsewhere in this  Indenture,  the Company  shall furnish the Trustee with an
Officers' Certificate evidencing compliance with such restriction.

SECTION 1103. SELECTION BY TRUSTEE OF SECURITIES TO BE REDEEMED.

     If less than all the  Securities  of any series are to be redeemed  (unless
all the Securities of such series and of a specified tenor are to be redeemed or
unless  such  redemption  affects  only  a  single  Security),   the  particular
Securities  to be redeemed  shall be selected not more than 60 days prior to the
Redemption Date by the Trustee,  from the Outstanding  Securities of such series
not previously  called for redemption,  by such method as the Trustee shall deem
fair and appropriate and which may provide for the selection for redemption of a
portion of the  principal  amount of any Security of such series,  PROVIDED that
the  unredeemed  portion of the principal  amount of any Security shall be in an
authorized  denomination  (which  shall not be less than the minimum  authorized
denomination) for such Security.  If less than all the Securities of such series
and of a specified tenor are to be redeemed (unless such redemption affects only
a single Security),  the particular  Securities to be redeemed shall be selected
not more than 60 days  prior to the  Redemption  Date by the  Trustee,  from the
Outstanding  Securities of such series and specified tenor not previously called
for redemption in accordance with the preceding sentence.

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

                                      -51-
<PAGE>
     The provisions of the two preceding paragraphs shall not apply with respect
to any redemption affecting only a single Security,  whether such Security is to
be redeemed in whole or in part. In the case of any such redemption in part, the
unredeemed  portion  of the  principal  amount  of the  Security  shall be in an
authorized  denomination  (which  shall not be less than the minimum  authorized
denomination) for such Security.

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

SECTION 1104. NOTICE OF REDEMPTION.

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

     All notices of  redemption  shall  identify the  Securities  to be redeemed
(including CUSIP number) and shall state:

          (1) the Redemption Date,

          (2) the Redemption Price,

          (3) if  less  than  all  the  Outstanding  Securities  of  any  series
     consisting  of  more  than  a  single  Security  are  to be  redeemed,  the
     identification  (and,  in the  case  of  partial  redemption  of  any  such
     Securities,  the  principal  amounts) of the  particular  Securities  to be
     redeemed  and, if less than all the  Outstanding  Securities  of any series
     consisting of a single Security are to be redeemed, the principal amount of
     the particular Security to be redeemed,

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

          (5) the place or places where each such Security is to be  surrendered
     for payment of the Redemption Price, and

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

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

                                      -52-
<PAGE>
SECTION 1105. DEPOSIT OF REDEMPTION PRICE.

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

SECTION 1106. SECURITIES PAYABLE ON REDEMPTION DATE.

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

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

SECTION 1107. SECURITIES REDEEMED IN PART.

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

                                 ARTICLE TWELVE

                                  SINKING FUNDS

SECTION 1201. APPLICABILITY OF ARTICLE.

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

     The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the terms of
any Securities is herein referred to as a "mandatory sinking fund payment",  and
any payment in excess of such minimum  amount  provided for by the terms of such

                                      -53-
<PAGE>
Securities  is herein  referred to as an  "optional  sinking fund  payment".  If
provided for by the terms of any Securities, the cash amount of any sinking fund
payment may be subject to  reduction as provided in Section  1202.  Each sinking
fund payment shall be applied to the redemption of Securities as provided for by
the terms of such Securities.

SECTION 1202. SATISFACTION OF SINKING FUND PAYMENTS WITH SECURITIES.

     The Company (1) may deliver Outstanding  Securities of a series (other than
any previously  called for redemption) and (2) may apply as a credit  Securities
of a series  which have been  redeemed  either at the  election  of the  Company
pursuant to the terms of such Securities or through the application of permitted
optional sinking fund payments pursuant to the terms of such Securities, in each
case in satisfaction of all or any part of any sinking fund payment with respect
to any  Securities  of such series  required to be made pursuant to the terms of
such  Securities  as and to the  extent  provided  for  by  the  terms  of  such

Securities  pursuant to the terms of such Securities,  the portion  thereof,  if
any,  which is to be  satisfied by payment of cash and the portion  thereof,  if
any, which is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting Securities pursuant to
Section  1202 and will also  deliver  to the  Trustee  any  Securities  to be so
delivered.  Not less than 30 days prior to each such sinking fund payment  date,
the Trustee  shall select the  Securities  to be redeemed upon such sinking fund
payment  date in the manner  specified  in Section  1103 and cause notice of the
redemption  thereof to be given in the name of and at the expense of the Company
in the manner provided in Section 1104. Such notice having been duly given,  the
redemption  of such  Securities  shall be made upon the terms and in the  manner
stated in Sections 1106 and 1107.

Section 1302 or 1303, in accordance  with any applicable  requirements  provided

SECTION 1302.  DEFEASANCE AND DISCHARGE.

     Upon the  Company's  exercise  of its option (if any) to have this  Section
applied to any Securities or any series of  Securities,  as the case may be, the
Company shall be deemed to have been  discharged from its  obligations,  and the
provisions of Article  Fourteen shall cease to be effective with respect to such
Securities as provided in this Section on and after the date the  conditions set
forth in Section 1304 are satisfied (hereinafter called "Defeasance").  For this
purpose, such Defeasance means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and
discharged the entire  indebtedness  represented by such  Securities and to have
satisfied all its other  obligations  under such  Securities  and this Indenture
insofar as such Securities are concerned (and the Trustee, at the expense of the
Company,  shall execute proper instruments  acknowledging the same),  subject to
the  following  which shall  survive  until  otherwise  terminated or discharged
hereunder:  (1) the rights of Holders of such Securities to receive, solely from
the trust fund  described  in  Section  1304 and as more fully set forth in such
Section, payments in respect of the principal of and any premium and interest on
such  Securities  when  payments are due,  (2) the  Company's  obligations  with
respect to such Securities under Sections 304, 305, 306, 1002 and 1003, and with
respect to the Trustee under Section 607, (3) the rights, powers, trusts, duties
and  immunities  of the  Trustee  hereunder  and (4) this  Article.  Subject  to
compliance  with this  Article,  the Company may exercise its option (if any) to

of its option (if any) to have Section 1303 applied to such Securities.

SECTION 1303. COVENANT DEFEASANCE.

     Upon the  Company's  exercise  of its option (if any) to have this  Section
applied to any Securities or any series of  Securities,  as the case may be, (1)
the  Company  shall be  released  from its  obligations  under  Section  801(3),
Sections 1006 through 1007,  inclusive,  and any covenants  provided pursuant to
Section  301(19),  901(2) or  901(7)  for the  benefit  of the  Holders  of such
Securities  and (2) the  occurrence  of any event  specified in Sections  501(4)
(with respect to any of Section 801(3),  Sections 1006 through 1007,  inclusive,
and any such covenants  provided pursuant to Section 301(19),  901(2) or 901(7))
and 501(7)  shall be deemed  not to be or result in an Event of Default  and the
provisions of Article  Fourteen  shall cease to be effective,  in each case with
respect to such Securities as provided in this Section on and after the date the
conditions set forth in Section 1304 are satisfied (hereinafter called "Covenant
Defeasance").  For this  purpose,  such  Covenant  Defeasance  means that,  with
respect to such  Securities,  the Company may omit to comply with and shall have
no liability in respect of any term,  condition or  limitation  set forth in any
such  specified  Section  (to the  extent so  specified  in the case of  Section
501(4)) or Article  Fourteen,  whether  directly or  indirectly by reason of any
reference  elsewhere  herein to any such  Section or Article or by reason of any
reference in any such Section or Article to any other provision herein or in any
other document, but the remainder of this Indenture and such Securities shall be
unaffected thereby.

SECTION 1304. CONDITIONS TO DEFEASANCE OR COVENANT DEFEASANCE.

     The following shall be the conditions to the application of Section 1302 or
Section 1303 to any Securities or any series of Securities, as the case may be:

                                      -55-
<PAGE>
          (1) The  Company  shall  irrevocably  have  deposited  or caused to be
     deposited  with  the  Trustee  (or  another  trustee  which  satisfies  the
     requirements  contemplated  by Section  609 and  agrees to comply  with the
     provisions  of this Article  applicable  to it) as trust funds in trust for
     the  purpose  of making the  following  payments,  specifically  pledged as
     security for, and dedicated  solely to, the benefits of the Holders of such
     Securities,  (A) money in an  amount,  or (B) U.S.  Government  Obligations
     which  through the  scheduled  payment of principal and interest in respect
     thereof in accordance with their terms will provide, not later than one day
     before  the  due  date  of  any  payment,  money  in an  amount,  or  (C) a
     combination  thereof,  in  each  case  sufficient,  in  the  opinion  of  a
     nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a
     written  certification  thereof  delivered  to  the  Trustee,  to  pay  and
     discharge,  and which  shall be applied by the  Trustee  (or any such other
     qualifying trustee) to pay and discharge,  the principal of and any premium
     and interest on such  Securities on the respective  Stated  Maturities,  in
     accordance  with the terms of this Indenture and such  Securities.  As used
     herein, "U.S. Government  Obligation" means (x) any security which is (i) a
     direct  obligation of the United States of America for the payment of which
     the full  faith and  credit of the  United  States of America is pledged or
     (ii) an obligation of a Person controlled or supervised by and acting as an
     agency or  instrumentality  of the United  States of America the payment of
     which is  unconditionally  guaranteed as a full faith and credit obligation
     by the United States of America,  which, in either case (i) or (ii), is not
     callable or  redeemable  at the option of the issuer  thereof,  and (y) any
     depositary  receipt issued by a bank (as defined in Section  3(a)(2) of the
     Securities Act) as custodian with respect to any U.S. Government Obligation
     which is  specified  in  Clause  (x)  above  and held by such  bank for the
     account of the holder of such  depositary  receipt,  or with respect to any
     specific  payment  of  principal  of or  interest  on any  U.S.  Government
     Obligation  which is so  specified  and  held,  PROVIDED  that  (except  as
     required by law) such  custodian is not  authorized  to make any  deduction
     from the amount payable to the holder of such  depositary  receipt from any
     amount  received  by  the  custodian  in  respect  of the  U.S.  Government
     Obligation  or the specific  payment of principal or interest  evidenced by
     such depositary receipt.

          (2) In the event of an  election  to have  Section  1302  apply to any
     Securities  or any series of  Securities,  as the case may be, the  Company
     shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel  stating that (A)
     the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal
     Revenue  Service a ruling or (B) since the date of this  instrument,  there
     has been a change in the applicable  Federal income tax law, in either case
     (A) or (B) to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion shall confirm
     that,  the Holders of such  Securities  will not recognize gain or loss for
     Federal  income tax  purposes as a result of the  deposit,  Defeasance  and
     discharge  to be  effected  with  respect  to such  Securities  and will be
     subject to Federal income tax on the same amount, in the same manner and at
     the  same  times  as would  be the  case if such  deposit,  Defeasance  and
     discharge were not to occur.

          (3) In the event of an  election  to have  Section  1303  apply to any
     Securities  or any series of  Securities,  as the case may be, the  Company
     shall  have  delivered  to the  Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect
     that the Holders of such  Securities  will not  recognize  gain or loss for
     Federal  income  tax  purposes  as a result  of the  deposit  and  Covenant
     Defeasance  to be  effected  with  respect to such  Securities  and will be

                                      -56-
<PAGE>
     subject to Federal income tax on the same amount, in the same manner and at
     the same times as would be the case if such deposit and Covenant Defeasance
     were not to occur.

          (4) The  Company  shall have  delivered  to the  Trustee an  Officers'
     Certificate  to the  effect  that  neither  such  Securities  nor any other
     Securities of the same series,  if then listed on any securities  exchange,
     will be delisted as a result of such deposit.

          (5) No event which is, or after  notice or lapse of time or both would
     become,  an Event of Default with respect to such  Securities  or any other
     Securities  shall  have  occurred  and be  continuing  at the  time of such
     deposit or, with regard to any such event  specified in Sections 501(5) and
     (6), at any time on or prior to the 90th day after the date of such deposit
     (it being  understood  that this  condition  shall not be deemed  satisfied
     until after such 90th day).

          (6) Such Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not cause the Trustee
     to have a conflicting  interest  within the meaning of the Trust  Indenture
     Act  (assuming  all  Securities  are in default  within the meaning of such
     Act).

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

          (8) Such  Defeasance  or Covenant  Defeasance  shall not result in the
     trust arising from such deposit  constituting an investment  company within
     the  meaning  of the  Investment  Company  Act unless  such trust  shall be
     registered under such Act or exempt from registration thereunder.

          (9) At the time of such deposit,  (A) no default in the payment of any
     principal of or premium or interest on any Senior Debt shall have  occurred
     and be continuing,  (B) no event of default with respect to any Senior Debt
     shall have resulted in such Senior Debt becoming, and continuing to be, due
     and payable prior to the date on which it would  otherwise  have become due
     and  payable  (unless  payment  of such  Senior  Debt has been made or duly
     provided for), and (C) no other event of default with respect to any Senior
     Debt shall have  occurred and be  continuing  permitting  (after  notice or
     lapse of time or both) the  holders  of such  Senior  Debt (or a trustee on
     behalf of such  holders) to declare such Senior Debt due and payable  prior
     to the date on which it would otherwise have become due and payable.

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

SECTION 1305. DEPOSITED MONEY AND U.S. GOVERNMENT OBLIGATIONS TO BE
              HELD IN TRUST; MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.

     Subject to the  provisions of the last paragraph of Section 1003, all money
and U.S. Government  Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with
the Trustee or other qualifying trustee (solely for purposes of this Section and
Section  1306,   the  Trustee  and  any  such  other  trustee  are  referred  to
collectively  as the  "Trustee")  pursuant  to  Section  1304 in  respect of any
Securities shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with
the provisions of such  Securities and this  Indenture,  to the payment,  either
directly or through any such Paying Agent  (including  the Company acting as its
own  Paying  Agent)  as the  Trustee  may  determine,  to the  Holders  of  such
Securities,  of all sums due and to become due  thereon in respect of  principal
and any premium and interest,  but money so held in trust need not be segregated
from other funds except to the extent required by law. Money and U.S. Government
Obligations  so held in trust shall not be subject to the  provisions of Article
Fourteen.

     The Company  shall pay and  indemnify  the Trustee  against any tax, fee or
other  charge  imposed on or assessed  against the U.S.  Government  Obligations
deposited  pursuant to Section 1304 or the  principal  and interest  received in
respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for
the account of the Holders of Outstanding Securities.

     Anything in this Article to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall
deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon  Company  Request any money
or U.S.  Government  Obligations  held by it as  provided  in Section  1304 with
respect to any Securities which, in the opinion of a nationally  recognized firm
of independent public accountants  expressed in a written  certification thereof
delivered to the Trustee,  are in excess of the amount  thereof which would then
be required to be deposited to effect the Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance,  as
the case may be, with respect to such Securities.

SECTION 1306. REINSTATEMENT.

     If the  Trustee  or the  Paying  Agent  is  unable  to apply  any  money in
accordance  with this Article with  respect to any  Securities  by reason of any
order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining,  restraining
or otherwise  prohibiting  such  application,  then the  obligations  under this
Indenture  and such  Securities  from which the Company has been  discharged  or
released  pursuant to Section  1302 or 1303 shall be revived and  reinstated  as
though no deposit had  occurred  pursuant to this  Article  with respect to such
Securities, until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply
all money held in trust pursuant to Section 1305 with respect to such Securities
in accordance with this Article;  PROVIDED,  HOWEVER,  that if the Company makes
any payment of  principal  of or any  premium or  interest on any such  Security
following such reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated
to the rights (if any) of the Holders of such Securities to receive such payment
from the money so held in trust.

                           SUBORDINATION OF DEBENTURES

<PAGE>
SECTION 1401. SECURITIES SUBORDINATE TO SENIOR DEBT.

     Unless  otherwise  provided  in a  supplemental  indenture  or  pursuant to
Section 301, the Company  covenants  and agrees,  and each Holder of  Securities
issued hereunder by his acceptance thereof likewise  covenants and agrees,  that
all  Securities  shall be  issued  subject  to the  provisions  of this  Article
Fourteen;  and each Holder of a Security,  whether upon  original  issue or upon
transfer  or  assignment  thereof,  accepts  and  agrees  to be  bound  by  such
provisions.

     The payment of the  principal  of,  premium,  if any,  and  interest on all
Securities  issued hereunder shall, to the extent and in the manner  hereinafter
set forth,  be subordinate  and subject in right of payment to the prior payment
in full of all Senior Debt, whether outstanding at the date of this Indenture or
thereafter incurred.

     No provision of this Article  Fourteen  shall prevent the occurrence of any
default or Event of Default hereunder.

SECTION 1402. PAYMENT OVER OF PROCEEDS UPON DEFAULT.

     In the event and during the  continuation  of any default in the payment of
principal,  premium,  interest  or any  other  payment  due on any  Senior  Debt
continuing  beyond  the period of grace,  if any,  specified  in the  instrument
evidencing such Senior Debt, unless and until such default shall have been cured
or waived or shall have ceased to exist,  and in the event that the  maturity of
any Senior Debt has been accelerated because of a default, then no payment shall
be made by the Company with respect to the principal  (including  redemption and
sinking fund payments) of, or premium, if any, or interest on the Securities.

     In the event that,  notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  any payment  shall be
received  by the Trustee or any holder when such  payment is  prohibited  by the
preceding  paragraphs of this Section 1402,  such payment shall be held in trust
for the  benefit  of, and shall be paid over or  delivered  to,  the  holders of
Senior Debt or their respective  representatives,  or to the trustee or trustees
under any  indenture  pursuant  to which any of such  Senior  Debt may have been
issued,  as their respective  interests may appear,  but only to the extent that
the holders of the Senior Debt (or their  representative or representatives or a
trustee)  notify the Trustee  within 90 days of such payment of the amounts then
due and owing on the Senior Debt and only the amounts  specified  in such notice
to the Trustee shall be paid to the holders of Senior Debt.

SECTION 1403. PAYMENT OVER OF PROCEEDS UPON DISSOLUTION, ETC.

     Upon any payment by the Company,  or  distribution of assets of the Company
of any kind or character,  whether in cash, property or securities, to creditors
upon any  dissolution  or winding-up or  liquidation  or  reorganization  of the
Company,  whether  voluntary  or  involuntary  or  in  bankruptcy,   insolvency,
receivership  or other  proceedings,  all  amounts due or to become due upon all
Senior  Debt shall first be paid in full,  or payment  thereof  provided  for in
money in accordance with its terms, before any payment is made on account of the
principal with its terms, before any payment is made on account of the principal
(and  premium,  if any)  or  interest  on the  Securities;  and  upon  any  such
dissolution or winding-up or liquidation  or  reorganization  any payment by the
Company,  or  distribution  of assets of the  Company of any kind or  character,
whether in cash, property or securities,  to which the Holders of the Securities
or the Trustee  would be  entitled,  except for the  provisions  of this Article

                                      -59-
<PAGE>
Fourteen,  shall  be  paid  by  the  Company  or by  any  receiver,  trustee  in
bankruptcy,  liquidating  trustee,  agent or other person making such payment or
distribution,  or by the Holders of the  Securities or by the Trustee under this
Indenture if received by them or it, directly to the holders of Senior Debt (pro
rata to such holders on the basis of the respective  amounts of Senior Debt held
by such  holders,  as  calculated  by the  Company) or their  representative  or
representatives,  or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture  pursuant to
which any instruments  evidencing any Senior Debt may have been issued, as their
respective  interests may appear, to the extent necessary to pay all Senior Debt
in full,  in money or  money's  worth,  after  giving  effect to any  concurrent
payment or distribution to or for the holders of Senior Debt, before any payment
or distribution is made to the holders of Securities or to the Trustee.

     In  the  event  that,   notwithstanding  the  foregoing,   any  payment  or
distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash,
property or securities,  prohibited by the  foregoing,  shall be received by the
Trustee or the holders of the Securities before all Senior Debt is paid in full,
or  provision is made for such  payment in money in  accordance  with its terms,
such payment or distribution shall be held in trust for the benefit of and shall
be paid over or delivered to the holders of Senior Debt or their  representative
or  representatives,  or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture pursuant
to which any  instruments  evidencing  any Senior Debt may have been issued,  as
their  respective  interests  may appear,  as  calculated  by the  Company,  for
application  to the  payment of all Senior Debt  remaining  unpaid to the extent
necessary to pay all Senior Debt in full in money in accordance  with its terms,
after giving  effect to any  concurrent  payment or  distribution  to or for the
holders of such Senior Debt.

     For  purposes  of this  Article  Fourteen,  the words,  "cash,  property or
securities"  shall not be deemed to  include  shares of stock of the  Company as
reorganized or readjusted, or securities of the Company or any other corporation
provided for by a plan of reorganization  or readjustment,  the payment of which
is subordinated  at least to the extent  provided in this Article  Fourteen with
respect to the  Securities  to the  payment of all Senior  Debt which may at the
time be  outstanding;  PROVIDED  that (i) the Senior  Debt is assumed by the new
corporation, if any, resulting from any such reorganization or readjustment, and
(ii) the rights of the holders of the Senior  Debt are not,  without the consent
of  such  holders,   altered  by  such   reorganization  or  readjustment.   The
consolidation  of the Company with,  or the merger of the Company into,  another
corporation  or the  liquidation  or  dissolution  of the Company  following the
conveyance or transfer of its property as an entirety,  or  substantially  as an
entirety,  to another  corporation upon the terms and conditions provided for in
Article Eight hereof shall not be deemed a dissolution,  winding-up, liquidation
or  reorganization  for  the  proposes  of  this  Section  1403  if  such  other
corporation  shall,  as a part  of such  consolidation,  merger,  conveyance  or
transfer,  comply with the conditions stated in Article Eight hereof. Nothing in
Section  1402 or in this  Section 1403 shall apply to claims of, or payments to,
the Trustee under or pursuant to Section 607.

SECTION 1404. SUBROGATION TO RIGHTS OF HOLDERS OF SENIOR DEBT.

     Subject  to the  payment  in full of all  Senior  Debt,  the  rights of the
holders of the  Securities  shall be  subrogated to the rights of the holders of
Senior Debt to receive payments or distributions of cash, property or securities
of the Company  applicable to the Senior Debt until the principal  (and premium,
if any) and  interest  on the  Securities  shall be paid in full;  and,  for the
purposes of such subrogation,  no payment or distributions to the holders of the

                                      -60-
<PAGE>
Senior  Debt of any cash,  property  or  securities  to which the holders of the
Securities  or the Trustee would be entitled  except for the  provisions of this
Article Fourteen, and no payment over pursuant to the provisions of this Article
Fourteen,  to or for the benefit of the holders of Senior Debt by holders of the
Securities or the Trustee,  shall,  as between the Company,  its creditors other
than holders of Senior Debt, and the Holders of the Securities,  be deemed to be
a payment by the Company to or on account of the Senior Debt.  It is  understood
that the provisions of this Article Fourteen are and are intended solely for the
purposes of defining the relative  rights of the holders of the  Securities,  on
the one hand, and the holders of the Senior Debt on the other hand.

     Nothing  contained in this Article  Fourteen or elsewhere in this Indenture
or in the Securities is intended to or shall impair, as between the Company, its
creditors  other  than the  holders  of  Senior  Debt,  and the  holders  of the
Securities,  the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional,
to pay to the holders of the Securities  the principal of (and premium,  if any)
and interest on the Securities as and when the same shall become due and payable
in accordance  with their terms,  or is intended to or shall affect the relative
rights of the holders of the  Securities and creditors of the Company other than
the  holders  of the Senior  Securities,  nor shall  anything  herein or therein
prevent the Trustee or the holder of any Security from  exercising  all remedies
otherwise permitted by applicable law upon default under this Indenture, subject
to the rights, if any, under this Article Fourteen of the holders of Senior Debt
in respect of cash,  property or  securities  of the Company  received  upon the
exercise of any such remedy.

     Upon any payment of  distribution  of assets of the Company  referred to in
this Article Fourteen, the Trustee, subject to the provision of Article Six, and
the holders of the Securities shall be entitled to rely upon any order or decree
made  by  any  court  of  competent  jurisdiction  in  which  such  dissolution,
winding-up,   liquidation  or  reorganization,   liquidation  or  reorganization
proceedings  are  pending,  or  a  certificate  of  the  receiver,   trustee  in
bankruptcy,  liquidation  trustee,  agent or other person making such payment or
distribution,  delivered to the Trustee or to the Holders of the Securities, for
the  purposes of  ascertaining  the  persons  entitled  to  participate  in such
distribution,  the  holders of the  Senior  Debt and other  indebtedness  of the
Company,  the amount  hereof or payable  thereon,  the amount or amounts paid or

SECTION 1405. TRUSTEE TO EFFECTUATE SUBORDINATION.

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

SECTION 1406. NOTICE TO TRUSTEE.

     The Company shall give prompt  written  notice to a Responsible  Officer of
the Trustee of any fact known to the Company which would  prohibit the making of
any payment of monies to or by the Trustee in respect of the Securities pursuant
to the provisions of this Article  Fourteen.  Notwithstanding  the provisions of
this  Article  Fourteen or any other  provision of this  Indenture,  the Trustee

                                      -61-
<PAGE>
shall not be charged with  knowledge  of the  existence of any facts which would
prohibit  the making of any payment of monies to or by the Trustee in respect of
the Securities  pursuant to the provisions of this Article Fourteen,  unless and
until a Responsible  Officer of the Trustee shall have received  written  notice
thereof at the  Principal  Office of the Trustee from the Company or a holder or
holders of Senior Debt or from any trustee  therefor;  and before the receipt of
any such written notice, the Trustee,  subject to the provisions of Article Six,
shall be entitled in all respects to assume that no such facts exist;  PROVIDED,
HOWEVER,  that if the Trustee shall not have received the notice provided for in
this Section 1406 at least two Business Days prior to the date upon which by the
terms hereof any money may become  payable for any purpose  (including,  without
limitation,  the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on
any Security),  then, anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding,
the Trustee  shall have full power and  authority  to receive  such money and to
apply the same to the  purposes for which they were  received,  and shall not be
affected  by any notice to the  contrary  which may be received by it within two
Business Days prior to such date.

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

SECTION 1407. RIGHTS OF TRUSTEE AS HOLDER OF SENIOR DEBT;
              PRESERVATION OF TRUSTEE'S RIGHTS.

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

     Nothing in this Article  Fourteen shall apply to claims of, or payments to,
the Trustee under or pursuant to Section 607.

SECTION 1408. TRUSTEE NOT FIDUCIARY FOR HOLDERS OF SENIOR DEBT.

     The Trustee shall not be deemed to own any fiduciary duty to the holders of
Senior Debt and, subject to the provisions of Article Six, the Trustee shall not
be liable to any holder of Senior Debt if it shall in good faith  mistakenly pay
over or deliver to holders of Securities,  the Company or any other person money
or assets to which any holder of Senior Debt shall be entitled by virtue of this
Article Fourteen or otherwise.

SECTION 1409. NO WAIVER OF SUBORDINATION PROVISIONS.

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

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

SECTION 1410. DEFEASANCE OF THIS ARTICLE FOURTEEN.

     The  subordination  of the Securities  provided by this Article Fourteen is
expressly made subject to the  provisions for Defeasance or Covenant  Defeasance
in Article Thirteen hereof and, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding,
upon the  effectiveness  of any such  Defeasance  or  Covenant  Defeasance,  the
Securities then outstanding shall thereupon cease to be subordinated pursuant to
this Article Fourteen.

                                    AGREEMENT
                                    ---------

         THIS AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is made and entered into as of this
20th day of January, 2000, by and between Waterlink, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), and Michael J. Vantusko ("Vantusko") and is
effective as of February 1, 2000 (the "Effective Date").

                              W I T N E S S E T H :
                              ---------------------

         WHEREAS, Vantusko is employed by the Company as Chief Financial Officer
pursuant to that certain Employment Agreement (the "Employment Agreement") dated
May 23, 1997 by and between Vantusko and the Company;

         WHEREAS, the parties desire to terminate the Employment Agreement
effective on the Effective Date; and

         WHEREAS, the Company desires to retain Vantusko's services as a
consultant through May 31, 2000.

         NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants
contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the adequacy and
receipt of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

1.   TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT. The Company and Vantusko hereby agree that
effective on the Effective Date, (i) Vantusko's employment with the Company and
all subsidiaries of the Company will, without further action on the part of
either party hereto, terminate, his position as Chief Financial Officer of the
Company will terminate as of the date hereof and (ii) the Employment Agreement
will be terminated and as of and subsequent to such date will be of no further
force or effect. As of the Effective Date and through May 31, 2000, Vantusko
shall provide consulting services to the Company, at mutually agreeable times,
respecting operations and financial matters; provided that the provision of such
services will not interfere with Vantusko's pursuit or performance of other
consulting or employment services. Both parties agree that effective on and as
of the date hereof, all actions relating to the hiring by the Company of a new
Chief Financial Officer as of the date hereof shall not change any rights or
obligations of the parties hereto to each other.

2.   COMPENSATION.

              2.1 TERMINATION PAYMENT. The Company shall pay to Vantusko in
     semi-monthly installments commencing February 1, 2000 and through May
     31, 2000 (the "Consulting Period") compensation at the annual rate
     equal to Vantusko's current base compensation. The payments described
     in this Section 2.1 are collectively referred to as the "Consulting
     Payments." In the event of Vantusko's death prior to his receipt of the
     entire

<PAGE>   2

         Consulting Payments, the Company shall continue paying the Consulting
         Payments to Vantusko's heirs or estate in the installments referred to
         in this Section.

                  2.2 BENEFITS. The Company agrees to maintain in full force and
         effect, for the continued benefit of Vantusko (and, in the event of his
         death, of his surviving spouse), until the earlier to occur of (i) the
         end of the Consulting Period and (ii) the date upon which Vantusko
         commences full-time employment (the earlier of such periods being
         referred to herein as the "Benefits Period"), all benefits and
         perquisites provided to him prior to the Effective Date (other than
         disability benefits, which shall not be provided), including all
         medical, dental, hospitalization, health and accident insurance
         benefits, plans or programs in which Vantusko (or, in the case of his
         death, his surviving spouse) was entitled to participate immediately
         prior to the Effective Date (collectively, the "Medical Programs");
         provided, however, that if, upon Vantusko's commencement of full-time
         employment during the Consulting Period, he shall not be eligible to
         immediately participate in such new employer's medical, dental,
         hospitalization, health and accident insurance benefits or if such
         programs shall exclude, or limit benefits with respect to pre-existing
         conditions, then Vantusko shall continue to be covered by the Medical
         Programs until the earlier of (i) the conclusion of the Consulting
         Period and (ii) the date upon which Vantusko may participate in such
         new employer's programs without any such limitations or restrictions..
         Neither the Consulting Period nor the Benefits Period extends any
         "COBRA" coverage period. In the event that Vantusko's participation in
         any of the Company's benefits, plans or programs is barred, the Company
         shall arrange to provide Vantusko with benefits substantially similar
         to those which Vantusko would otherwise have been entitled to receive
         under such plans and programs. The Company shall also maintain for
         Vantusko, for a period of five (5) years after the Effective Date, a
         directors' and officers' liability insurance policy not less favorable
         than any policy that the Company maintains for its directors and
         executive officers in general.

                  2.3 STOCK OPTIONS. In connection with his employment with the
         Company, Vantusko has been granted stock options to purchase 270,000
         shares (the "Option Shares") of the common stock of the Company (the
         "Stock Options") under the Company's 1995 Stock Option Plan and the
         Company's 1997 Omnibus Incentive Plan (collectively, the "Plans"),
         pursuant to Stock Option Agreements between Vantusko and the Company
         (the "Stock Option Agreements"). Vantusko shall be entitled to exercise
         those Stock Options that are so specified on Exhibit A attached hereto
         until the close of business on September 30, 2002 (the "Exercise
         Period") without regard to the vesting criteria or other terms
         otherwise contained therein or in the Plans. The Company agrees that at
         all times during the Exercise Period, the acquisition by Vantusko of
         the Option Shares specified on Exhibit A shall be registered under a
         registration statement on Form S-8 or other appropriate form (a
         "Registration Statement") filed with and declared effective by the
         Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and the Company shall
         take all action that may be necessary to (i) cause the Registration
         Statement to remain effective and to otherwise comply with all
         applicable laws and regulations and (ii) permit the sale by Vantusko,
         without any limitation as to volume (other than as may be applicable to
         "affiliates" pursuant to Rule 144

                                        2

<PAGE>   3

         promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933), of the Option Shares so
         specified on Exhibit A. To the extent that a Registration Statement is
         not effective or does not contain all information required to be
         disclosed therein at any time during the Exercise Period, the Exercise
         Period shall be extended by the number of days during such period that
         such Registration Statement was not effective or did not contain all
         information required to be disclosed therein. The other Stock Options
         granted to Vantusko which are not specified on the attached Exhibit A
         shall terminate and be of no further force and effect as of the close
         of business on the Effective Date.

3.       CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.

                  3.1 Vantusko hereby acknowledges that, in the course of his
         employment by the Company, he has had access to secret and confidential
         information which relates to or affects all aspects of the business and
         affairs of the Company, its subsidiaries, affiliates or divisions, and
         which are not available to the general public ("Confidential
         Information"). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
         Confidential Information shall include information relating to
         inventions developments, specifications, technical and engineering
         data, information concerning the filing or pendency of patent
         applications, business ideas, trade secrets, products under
         development, production methods and processes, sources of supply,
         marketing plans, and the names of any customers or prospective
         customers or of any persons who have or shall have traded or dealt with
         the Company. Accordingly, Vantusko agrees that he will not disclose or
         furnish any Confidential Information to any person, firm, corporation
         or other entity without the express prior written consent of the
         Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term Confidential
         Information shall not include information or data which (i) is now or
         hereafter in the public domain, other than as a result of the breach of
         this Section 3 by Vantusko, (ii) prior to the date of commencement of
         Vantusko's employment by the Company was known to Vantusko, (iii) is,
         after the Effective date, lawfully acquired by Vantusko from a third
         party who, to Vantusko's knowledge, is not prohibited from disclosing
         such data or information to Vantusko or (iv) is required to be
         disclosed by court order or other legal process. In the event that
         Vantusko receives a request or demand to disclose all or any part of
         the Confidential Information under the terms of a subpoena or order
         issued by a court of competent jurisdiction or otherwise, Vantusko
         agrees to (x) promptly notify the Company of the existence, terms and
         circumstances surrounding such a request so that the Company may seek a
         protective order or other appropriate relief or remedy and (y) if
         disclosure of such information is required, disclose such information
         and, subject to reimbursement by the Company of Vantusko's expenses,
         cooperate with the Company in its efforts to obtain an order or other
         reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to such
         portion of the disclosed information which the Company so designates.

                  3.2 Vantusko hereby acknowledges and agrees that any and all
         models, prototypes, notes, memoranda, notebooks, drawings, records,
         plans, documents or other material in physical form which contain or
         embody Confidential Information, whether

                                        3

<PAGE>   4

         created or prepared by Vantusko or by others ("Confidential
         Materials"), which are in Vantusko's possession or under his control,
         are the sole property of the Company. Accordingly, Vantusko hereby
         represents that Vantusko has returned to the Company all Confidential
         Materials and all copies thereof in his possession or under his control
         and has not retained any copies of Confidential Materials.

4.       NON-COMPETITION.

                  4.1 Vantusko agrees that for a period commencing on the date
         hereof and concluding upon the earlier to occur of (a) September 30,
         2000 and (b) the date subsequent the Effective Date upon which the
         Company is in material breach of any material provision of this
         Agreement (provided that Vantusko notifies the Company in writing of
         such breach and the Company does not cure such breach within ten (10)
         days of the receipt of such notice from Vantusko), Vantusko shall not
         own, manage, operate, control or participate in the ownership,
         management, operation or control or be employed by or connected in any
         manner with, any business, firm or corporation which is or may be in
         competition with the business of the Company, its subsidiaries,
         affiliates or divisions as such business is constituted on the
         Effective Date.

                  4.2 Anything to the contrary herein notwithstanding, the
         provisions of this Section 4 shall not be deemed violated by the
         purchase and/or ownership by Vantusko of shares of any class of equity
         securities (or options, warrants or rights to acquire such securities,
         or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for
         such securities) (x) of the Company (or any successor thereto) or, (y)
         representing (together with any securities which would be acquired upon
         the exercise of any such options, warrants or rights or upon the
         conversion of any other security convertible into or exchangeable or
         exercisable for such securities) three percent (3%) or less of the
         outstanding shares of any such class of equity securities of any issuer
         whose securities are traded on a national securities exchange or listed
         by NASDAQ, the National Quotation Bureau Incorporated or any similar
         organization; provided, however, that Vantusko shall not be otherwise
         connected with or active in the business of the issuers described in
         this Section 4.2

5. REMEDY FOR BREACH. Vantusko hereby acknowledges that in the event of any
breach or threatened breach by him of any of the provisions of Sections 3 or 4
of this Agreement, the Company would have no adequate remedy at law and could
suffer substantial and irreparable damage. Accordingly, Vantusko hereby agrees
that, in such event, the Company shall be entitled, and notwithstanding any
election by the Company to claim damages, to obtain a temporary and/or permanent
injunction to restrain any such breach or threatened breach or to obtain
specific performance of any such provisions, all without prejudice to any and
all other remedies which the Company may have at law or in equity.

         for, upon, or by reason of any and all matters arising out of his
         relationship with the Company and/or its affiliates, and including, but

         affiliates, including, without limitation, the terms and conditions
         and/or cessation of his employment or the termination of the Employment

         provisions of this release, this release shall not apply to and
         Vantusko reserves the following (i) any rights, claims and causes of
         action he may have arising out of or resulting from the non-performance

         right, claims and causes of action that Vantusko may acquire solely as
         a stockholder or option holder of the Company and only with respect to

         Vantusko may only join in, but may not initiate, any stockholder class
         action or stockholder derivative lawsuit against, or in the name of, as
         the case may be, the Company. This release is for any relief, no matter

         pay, compensatory damages or punitive damages. Vantusko understands,
         acknowledges and agrees that by signing this Agreement, he is waiving
         the right to recover in any proceeding he may bring before the U.S.
         Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or in any proceeding brought by
         the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission on his behalf.
         Vantusko further agrees that he will not file or permit to be filed on
         his behalf any such claim.

                  7.2 The Company voluntarily releases and forever discharges
         Vantusko of and from any and all actions or causes of action, suits,
         debts, dues, sums of money, accounts, reckonings, bonds, bills,
         covenants, claims, charges, complaints, contracts, agreements,
         trespasses, damages, judgments, commissions, executions, demands and
         promises whatsoever, in law or equity, which the Company may now have
         or hereafter can, shall or may have for, upon, or by reason of any and
         all matters arising out of Vantusko's relationship with the Company
         and/or its affiliates, and including as an officer, director, employee
         and stockholder of the Company and/or its affiliates, and including,
         but not limited to, all claims for officer loans and advances made to
         Vantusko; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing
         provisions of this release, the Company hereby reserves any rights,
         claims and courses of action it may have arising out of or resulting
         from breach of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The Company
         further agrees to defend, indemnify and hold Vantusko absolutely
         harmless from any and all claims asserted in the future by any person
         arising out of, or in any way connected to, Vantusko's employment

<PAGE>   10

direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or
substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company, by agreement in
form and substance satisfactory to Vantusko, to expressly assume and agree to
perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the
Company would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place.
Failure of the Company to obtain such agreement prior to the effectiveness of

16.  AMENDMENT OR MODIFICATION; WAIVER. This Agreement may be amended,
superseded, canceled, renewed or extended, and the terms hereof may be waived,
only by a written instrument signed by all parties hereto. Except as otherwise
specifically provided in this Agreement, no waiver by either party hereto of any
breach by the other party hereto of any condition or provision of this Agreement
to be performed by such other party shall be deemed a waiver of a similar or
dissimilar provision or condition at the same or at any prior or subsequent
time.

17.  ADMISSION; EVIDENCE. The execution of this Agreement shall not be deemed an
admission of any wrongdoing, liability or unlawful conduct on the part of
Vantusko and/or the Company, its affiliates, divisions, officers, employees,
agents, successors or assigns. Neither this Agreement nor any portion hereof
shall be admissible evidence in any proceeding whatsoever involving any party
other than Vantusko, the Company or their representatives or successors hereto.

18.  FEES AND EXPENSES. The Company will reimburse Vantusko for the reasonable
attorney's fees incurred by him in connection with the negotiation and
preparation of this Agreement. If either party institutes any action or
proceedings to enforce any rights the party has under this Agreement, or for
damages by reason of any alleged breach of any provision of this Agreement, or
for a declaration of each party's rights or obligations hereunder or to set
aside any provision hereof, or for any other arbitral or judicial remedy, each
party shall be responsible for its own costs and expenses incurred thereby,
including but not limited to, attorneys' fees and disbursements.

19.  GOVERNING LAW; ARBITRATION. The validity, interpretation, construction,
performance and enforcement of this Agreement shall be governed by the internal
laws of the State of Ohio, without regard to its conflicts of law rules. Any
controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, shall be
