Section 102.   Compliance Certificates and Opinions.

          Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Indenture, upon any
application or request by the Company to the Trustee to take any action under
any provision of this Indenture, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee an
Officer's Certificate stating that all conditions precedent, if any, provided
for in this Indenture relating to the proposed action have been complied with
and an Opinion of Counsel stating that in the opinion of such counsel all such
conditions precedent, if any, have been complied with, except that in the case
of any such application or request as to which the furnishing of such documents
is specifically required by any provision of this Indenture relating to such
particular application or request, no additional certificate or opinion need be
furnished.

          Every certificate or opinion with respect to compliance with a
condition or covenant provided for in this Indenture shall include:

          (a) a statement that each Person signing such certificate or opinion
     has read such covenant or condition and the definitions herein relating
     thereto;

          (b) a brief statement as to the nature and scope of the examination or

     Person to express an informed opinion as to whether or not such covenant or
     condition has been complied with; and

          (d) a statement as to whether, in the opinion of each such Person,
     such condition or covenant has been complied with.

Section 103.   Form of Documents Delivered to Trustee.

          In any case where several matters are required to be certified by, or
covered by an opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all
such matters be certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such
Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but one
such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one
or more other such Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify
or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents.

          Any certificate or opinion of an officer of the Company may be based,
insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or
representations by, counsel, unless such officer knows, or in the exercise of
reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations
with respect to the matters upon which such officer's certificate or opinion are
based are erroneous. Any such certificate or Opinion of Counsel may be based,
insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or
representations by, an officer or officers of the Company stating that the
information with respect to such factual

                                      11
<PAGE>

matters is in the possession of the Company, unless such counsel knows, or in
the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or
representations with respect to such matters are erroneous.

          Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more
applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other
instruments under this Indenture, they may, but need not, be consolidated and
form one instrument.

          Whenever, subsequent to the receipt by the Trustee of any Board
Resolution, Officer's Certificate, Opinion of Counsel or other document or
instrument, a clerical, typographical or other inadvertent or unintentional
error or omission shall be discovered therein, a new document or instrument may
be substituted therefor in corrected form with the same force and effect as if
originally filed in the corrected form and, irrespective of the date or dates of
the actual execution and/or delivery thereof, such substitute document or
instrument shall be deemed to have been executed and/or delivered as of the date
or dates required with respect to the document or instrument for which it is
substituted. Anything in this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, if any
such corrective document or instrument indicates that action has been taken by
or at the request of the Company which could not have been taken had the
original document or instrument not contained such error or omission, the action
so taken shall not be invalidated or otherwise rendered ineffective but shall be
and remain in full force and effect, (except to the extent that such action was
a result of willful misconduct or bad faith or had or could be expected to have
a material adverse effect on the Holders of any Debt Securities issued
hereunder). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any Debt
Securities issued under the authority of such defective document or instrument
shall nevertheless be the valid obligations of the Company entitled to the
benefits of this Indenture equally and ratably with all other Outstanding Debt
Securities.

Section 104.   Acts of Holders.

          (a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent,
     election, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be made,
     given or taken by Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more
     instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person
     or by an agent duly appointed in writing or, alternatively, may be embodied
     in and evidenced by the record of Holders voting in favor thereof, either
     in person or by proxies duly appointed in writing, at any meeting of
     Holders duly called and held in accordance with the provisions of Article
     XIII, or a combination of such instruments and any such record.  Except as
     herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective
     when such instrument or instruments or record or both are delivered to the
     Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Company.  Such
     instrument or instruments and any such record (and the action embodied
     therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the
     "Act" of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments and so voting
     at any such meeting.  Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a
     writing appointing any such agent, or of the holding by any Person of a
     Debt Security, shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and
     (subject to Section 901) conclusive in favor of the Trustee

                                      12
<PAGE>

     and the Company, if made in the manner provided in this Section. The record
     of any meeting of Holders shall be proved in the manner provided in Section
     1306.

          (b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such
     instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such
     execution or by a certificate of a notary public or other officer
     authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the
     individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the
     execution thereof or may be proved in any other manner which the Trustee
     and the Company deem sufficient.  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.

          (c) The principal amount (except as otherwise contemplated in clause
     (y) of the proviso to the definition of Outstanding) and serial numbers of
     Debt Securities held by any Person, and the date of holding the same, shall
     be proved by the Debt Security Register.

          (d) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent,
     election, waiver or other Act of a Holder shall bind every future Holder of
     the same Debt Security and the Holder of every Debt 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 Debt Security.

          (e) Until such time as written instruments shall have been delivered
     to the Trustee with respect to the requisite percentage of principal amount
     of Debt Securities for the action contemplated by such instruments, any
     such instrument executed and delivered by or on behalf of a Holder may be
     revoked with respect to any or all of such Debt Securities by written
     notice by such Holder or any subsequent Holder, proven in the manner in
     which such instrument was proven.

          (f) Debt Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof,
     authenticated and delivered after any Act of Holders may, and shall if
     required by the Trustee, bear a notation in form approved by the Trustee as
     to any action taken by such Act of Holders.  If the Company shall so
     determine, new Debt Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, so
     modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Trustee and the Company, to
     such action may be prepared and executed by the Company and authenticated
     and delivered by the Trustee in exchange for Outstanding Debt Securities of
     such series or Tranche.

          (g) If the Company shall solicit from Holders any request, demand,
     authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, the Company
     may, at its option, fix in advance a record date for the determination of
     Holders entitled to give such request, demand, authorization, direction,
     notice, consent, waiver or other Act, but the Company shall have no
     obligation to do so.  If such a record date is fixed, such request, demand,
     authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act may be given

                                      13
<PAGE>

     before or after such record date, but only the Holders of record at the
     close of business on the record date shall be deemed to be Holders for the
     purposes of determining whether Holders of the requisite proportion of the
     Outstanding Debt Securities have authorized or agreed or consented to such
     request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other
     Act, and for that purpose the Outstanding Debt Securities shall be computed
     as of the record date.

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

          Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent,
election, waiver or Act of Holders or other document provided or permitted by
this Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished to, or filed with, the
Trustee by any Holder or by the Company, or the Company by the Trustee or by any
Holder, shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder (unless otherwise herein
expressly provided) if in writing and delivered personally to an officer or
other responsible employee of the addressee, or transmitted by facsimile
transmission or other direct written electronic means to such telephone number
or other electronic communications address as the parties hereto shall from time
to time designate, or transmitted by certified or registered mail, charges
prepaid, to the applicable address set opposite such party's name below or to

          Any communication contemplated herein shall be deemed to have been
made, given, furnished and filed if personally delivered, on the date of
delivery, if transmitted by facsimile transmission or other direct written
electronic means, upon date of receipt of the transmission, and if transmitted
by certified or registered mail, on the date of receipt.

Section 106.   Notice to Holders of Debt Securities; Waiver.

          Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, where this Indenture
provides for notice to Holders of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently
given, and shall be deemed given, to Holders if in writing and mailed, first-
class postage prepaid, to each Holder affected by such event, at the address of
such Holder as it appears in the Debt Security Register, not later than the
latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving
of such notice.

          In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by
reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to give such notice to
Holders by mail, then such notification as shall be made with the approval of
the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notification for every purpose
hereunder.  In any case where notice to Holders is given by mail, neither the
failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any
particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to
other Holders.

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

Section 107.   Conflict with Trust Indenture Act.

          If any provision of this Indenture limits, qualifies or conflicts with
another provision hereof which is required or deemed to be included in this
Indenture by, or is otherwise governed by, any of the provisions of the Trust
Indenture Act, such other provision shall control; and if any provision hereof
otherwise conflicts with the Trust Indenture Act, the Trust Indenture Act shall
control.

Section 108.   Effect of Headings and Table of Contents.

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

Section 109.   Successors and Assigns.

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

Section 110.   Separability Clause.

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

Section 111.   Benefits of Indenture.

          Nothing in this Indenture or the Debt Securities, express or implied,
shall give any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under
this Indenture to any Person other than (i) the parties hereto; (ii) their
successors hereunder; and (iii) the Holders[; and (iv) so long as the notice
described in Section 1514 hereof has not been given, the holders of Senior
Indebtedness; and (v) to the extent provided in Sections 808, 809 and 811, the
holders of Trust Preferred Securities].

Section 112.   Governing Law.

          This Indenture and the Debt Securities shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of __________________,
without regard to conflicts of law principles thereof, except to the extent that
the law of any other jurisdiction shall be mandatorily applicable.

Section 113.   Legal Holidays.

          In any case where any Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated
Maturity of any Debt Security shall not be a Business Day at any Place of
Payment, then (notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or of the
Debt Securities other than a provision in Debt Securities of any series, or any
Tranche thereof, or in the indenture supplemental hereto, Board Resolution or
Officer's Certificate which establishes the terms of the Debt Securities of such
series or Tranche, which specifically states that such provision shall apply in
lieu of this Section) payment of interest or principal and premium, if any, need
not be made at such Place of Payment on such date, but may be made on the next
succeeding Business Day at such Place of Payment with the same force and effect
as if made on the Interest Payment Date or Redemption Date, or at the Stated
Maturity, and, if such payment is made or duly provided for on such Business
Day, no interest shall accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and
after such Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated Maturity, as the
case may be, to such Business Day.

Section 201.   Forms Generally.

          The definitive Debt Securities of each series shall be in
substantially the form or forms thereof established in the indenture
supplemental hereto establishing such series or in a Board Resolution
establishing such series, or in an Officer's Certificate pursuant to such
supplemental indenture or Board Resolution, in each case with such appropriate
insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as are required or
permitted by this Indenture, and may have such letters, numbers or other marks
of identification and such legends or endorsements placed thereon as may be
required to comply with the rules of any securities

                                      16
<PAGE>

exchange or as may, consistently herewith, be determined by the officers
executing such Debt Securities, as evidenced by their execution of the Debt
Securities. If the form or forms of Debt Securities of any series are
established in a Board Resolution or in an Officer's Certificate pursuant to an
indenture supplement hereto or to a Board Resolution, such Board Resolution and
Officer's Certificate, if any, shall be delivered to the Trustee at or prior to
the delivery of the Company Order contemplated by Section 303 for the
authentication and delivery of such Debt Securities.

          Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Sections 301 or 1201(g),
the Debt Securities of each series shall be issuable in registered form without
coupons.  The definitive Debt Securities shall be produced in such manner as
shall be determined by the officers executing such Debt Securities, as evidenced
by their execution thereof.

          [Debt Securities distributed to holders of Global Trust Preferred
Securities (as defined in the applicable Trust Agreement) upon the dissolution
of a Trust shall be distributed in the form of one or more Global Securities
registered in the name of a Depositary or its nominee, and deposited with the
Debt Security Registrar, as custodian for such Depositary, or with such
Depositary, for credit by the Depositary to the respective accounts of the
beneficial owners of the Debt Securities represented thereby (or such other
accounts as they may direct).  Debt Securities distributed to holders of Trust
Preferred Securities other than Global Trust Preferred Securities upon the
dissolution of a Trust shall not be issued in the form of a Global Security or
any other form intended to facilitate book-entry trading in beneficial interests
in such Debt Securities.]

Section 202.   Form of Trustee's Certificate of Authentication.

          The Trustee's certificate of authentication shall be in substantially

Section 203.   Debt Securities Issuable in the Form of a Global Security.

          (a) If the Company shall establish pursuant to Section 301 that the
     Debt Securities of a particular series are to be issued in whole or in part
     in the form of one or more Global Securities, then the Company shall
     execute and the Trustee shall, in accordance with Section 303 and the
     Company Order delivered to the Trustee thereunder,

                                      17
<PAGE>

     authenticate and deliver such Global Security or Securities, which (i)
     shall represent, and shall be denominated in an amount equal to the
     aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of such
     series to be represented by such Global Security or Securities, (ii) may
     provide that the aggregate amount of Outstanding Debt Securities
     represented thereby may from time to time be increased or reduced to
     reflect exchanges, (iii) shall be registered in the name of the Depositary
     for such Global Security or Securities or its nominee, (iv) shall be
     delivered by the Trustee to the Depositary or pursuant to the Depositary's
     instruction and (v) shall bear a legend in accordance with the requirements
     of the Depositary.

          (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section or of Section
     305, except as contemplated by the provisions of paragraph (c) below,
     unless the terms of a Global Security expressly permit such Global Security
     to be exchanged in whole or in part for individual Debt Securities, a
     Global Security may be transferred, in whole but not in part and in the
     manner provided in Section 305, only to a nominee of the Depositary for
     such Global Security, or to the Depositary, or to a successor Depositary
     for such Global Security selected or approved by the Company, or to a
     nominee of such successor Depositary.

          (c)  (1)  If at any time the Depositary for a Global Security notifies
          the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as the
          Depositary for such Global Security or if at any time the Depositary
          for the Debt Securities for such series shall no longer be eligible or
          in good standing under the Exchange Act, or other applicable statute
          or regulation, the Company shall appoint a successor Depositary with
          respect to such Global Security.  If a successor Depositary for such
          Global Security is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after
          the Company receives such notice or becomes aware of such
          ineligibility, the Company will execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt
          of a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of Debt
          Securities of such series in the form of definitive certificates in
          exchange for such Global Security, will authenticate and deliver Debt
          Securities of such series in the form of definitive certificates of
          like tenor and terms in an aggregate principal amount equal to the
          principal amount of the Global Security in exchange for such Global
          Security.  Such Debt Securities will be issued to and registered in
          the name of such Person or Persons as are specified by the Depositary.

               (2) The Company may at any time and in its sole discretion
          determine that the Debt Securities of any series issued or issuable in
          the form of one or more Global Securities shall no longer be
          represented by such Global Security or Securities.  In any such event
          the Company will execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company
          Request for the authentication and delivery of Debt Securities in the
          form of definitive certificates in exchange in whole or in part for
          such Global Security, will authenticate and deliver without service
          charge to each Person specified by the Depositary Debt Securities in
          the form of definitive certificates of like tenor and terms in an
          aggregate principal amount equal to the

                                      18
<PAGE>

          principal amount of such Global Security representing such series, or
          the aggregate principal amount of such Global Securities representing
          such series, in exchange for such Global Security or Securities.

               (3) If specified by the Company pursuant to Section 301 with
          respect to Debt Securities issued or issuable in the form of a Global
          Security, the Depositary for such Global Security may surrender such
          Global Security in exchange in whole or in part for Debt Securities in
          the form of definitive certificates of like tenor and terms on such
          terms as are acceptable to the Company and such Depositary.  Thereupon
          the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and
          deliver, without service charge, (A) to each Person specified by such
          Depositary a new Debt Security or Securities of the same series of
          like tenor and terms and any authorized denomination as requested by
          such Person in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for
          such Person's beneficial interest in the Global Security and (B) to
          such Depositary a new Global Security of like tenor and terms and in
          an authorized denomination equal to the difference, if any, between
          the principal amount of the surrendered Global Security and the
          aggregate principal amount of Debt Securities delivered to Holders
          thereof.

               (4) In any exchange provided for in any of the preceding three
          subparagraphs, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall
          authenticate and deliver Debt Securities in the form of definitive
          certificates in authorized denominations.  Upon the exchange of the
          entire principal amount of a Global Security for Debt Securities in
          the form of definitive certificates, such Global Security shall be
          canceled by the Trustee.  Except as provided in the immediately
          preceding subparagraph, Debt Securities issued in exchange for a
          Global Security pursuant to this Section shall be registered in such
          names and in such authorized denominations as the Depositary for such
          Global Security, acting pursuant to instructions from its direct or
          indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee.
          Provided that the Company and the Trustee have so agreed, the Trustee
          shall deliver such Debt Securities to the Persons in whose names the
          Debt Securities are so to be registered.

               (5) Any endorsement of a Global Security to reflect the principal
          amount thereof, or any increase or decrease in such principal amount,
          or changes in the rights of Holders of Outstanding Debt Securities
          represented thereby shall be made in such manner and by such Person or
          Persons as shall be specified in or pursuant to any applicable letter
          of representations or other arrangement entered into with, or
          procedures of, the Depositary with respect to such Global Security or
          in the Company Order delivered or to be delivered pursuant to Section
          303 with respect thereto.  Subject to the provisions of Section 303,
          the Trustee shall deliver and redeliver any such Global Security in
          the manner and upon instructions given by the Person or Persons
          specified in or pursuant to any applicable letter of representations
          or other arrangement entered into with, or procedures of, the

                                      19
<PAGE>

          Depositary with respect to such Global Security or in any applicable
          Company Order.  If a Company Order pursuant to Section 303 is so
          delivered, any instructions by the Company with respect to such Global
          Security contained therein shall be in writing but need not be
          accompanied by or contained in an Officer's Certificate and need not
          be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel.

               (6) The Depositary or, if there be one, its nominee, shall be the
          Holder of a Global Security for all purposes under this Indenture; and
          beneficial owners with respect to such Global Security shall hold
          their interests pursuant to applicable procedures of such Depositary.
          The Company, the Trustee and the Debt Security Registrar shall be
          entitled to deal with such Depositary for all purposes of this
          Indenture relating to such Global Security (including the payment of
          principal, premium, if any, and interest (including any Additional
          Interest) and the giving of instructions or directions by or to the
          beneficial owners of such Global Security as the sole Holder of such
          Global Security and shall have no obligations to the beneficial owners
          thereof (including any direct or indirect participants in such
          Depositary).  None of the Company, the Trustee, any Paying Agent or
          the Debt Security Registrar shall have any responsibility or liability
          for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account
          of beneficial ownership interests of a Global Security in or pursuant
          to any applicable letter of representations or other arrangement
          entered into with, or procedures of, the Depositary with respect to
          such Global Security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any
          records relating to such beneficial ownership interests.

          [The Debt Securities of each series, or any Tranche thereof, shall be

Offering, the indenture supplemental hereto or the Board Resolution which
establishes such series, or the Officer's Certificate pursuant to such
supplemental indenture or Board Resolution, as the case may be, may provide

either that the specific terms of Debt Securities of such series, or any Tranche
thereof, shall be specified in a Company Order or that such terms shall be
determined by the Company or its agents in accordance with procedures specified
in a Company Order as contemplated by clause (b) of the third paragraph of
Section 303.

Section 302. Denominations.

          Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 301 with respect
to any series of Securities, or any Tranche thereof, the Debt Securities of each

Section 303. Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating.

          Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 301 with respect
to any series of Debt Securities, or any Tranche thereof, the Debt Securities
shall be executed on behalf of the Company by an Authorized Officer and may have
the corporate seal of the Company affixed thereto or reproduced thereon attested
by any other Authorized Officer.  The signature of any or all of these officers
on the Debt Securities may be manual or facsimile.

          Debt Securities bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of
individuals who were at the time of execution Authorized 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 Debt Securities or did not hold such offices at the date of such Debt
Securities.

          The Trustee shall authenticate and deliver Debt Securities of a
series, for original issue, at one time or from time to time in accordance with
the Company Order referred to below, upon receipt by the Trustee of:

          (a) the instrument or instruments establishing the form or forms and
     terms of such series, as provided in Sections 201 and 301;

                                      24
<PAGE>

          (b) a Company Order requesting the authentication and delivery of such
     Debt Securities and, to the extent that the terms of such Debt Securities
     shall not have been established in an indenture supplemental hereto or in a
     Board Resolution, or in an Officer's Certificate pursuant to a supplemental
     indenture or Board Resolution, all as contemplated by Sections 201 and 301,
     either (i) establishing such terms or (ii) in the case of Debt Securities
     of a series subject to a Periodic Offering, specifying procedures,
     acceptable to the Trustee, by which such terms are to be established (which
     procedures may provide, to the extent acceptable to the Trustee, for
     authentication and delivery pursuant to oral or electronic instructions
     from the Company or any agent or agents thereof, which oral instructions
     are to be promptly confirmed electronically or in writing), in either case
     in accordance with the instrument or instruments delivered pursuant to
     clause (a) above;

          (c) the Debt Securities of such series, executed on behalf of the
     Company by an Authorized Officer;

          (d) an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that:

               (i)    the form or forms of such Debt Securities have been duly
          authorized by the Company and have been established in conformity with
          the provisions of this Indenture;

               (ii)   the terms of such Debt Securities have been duly
          authorized by the Company and have been established in conformity with
          the provisions of this Indenture; and

               (iii) assuming authentication and delivery by the Trustee and
          subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, such
          Debt Securities will have been duly issued under this Indenture and
          will be legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company,
          enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject, as to
          enforcement, to laws relating to or affecting generally the
          enforcement of creditors' rights, including, without limitation,
          bankruptcy and insolvency laws and to general principles of equity
          (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a
          proceeding in equity or at law);

provided, however, that, with respect to Debt Securities of a series subject to
a Periodic Offering, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive such Opinion of
Counsel only once at or prior to the time of the first authentication of such
Debt Securities (provided that such Opinion of Counsel addresses the
authentication and delivery of all Debt Securities of such series) and that in
lieu of the opinions described in clauses (ii) and (iii) above Counsel may opine
that:

               (x) when the terms of such Debt Securities shall have been
          established pursuant to a Company Order or Orders or pursuant to such
          procedures (acceptable to the Trustee) as may be specified from time
          to time by a Company Order or Orders, all as contemplated by and in
          accordance with the instrument or instruments delivered pursuant to
          clause (a) above, such terms will have been duly

                                      25
<PAGE>

          authorized by the Company and will have been established in conformity
          with the provisions of this Indenture; and

               (y) such Debt Securities, when authenticated and delivered by the
          Trustee in accordance with this Indenture and the Company Order or
          Orders or specified procedures referred to in paragraph (x) above and
          issued and delivered by the Company in the manner and subject to any
          conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will have been duly
          issued under this Indenture and will constitute valid and legally
          binding obligations of the Company, entitled to the benefits provided
          by the Indenture, and enforceable in accordance with their terms,
          subject, as to enforcement, to laws relating to or affecting generally
          the enforcement of creditors' rights, including, without limitation,
          bankruptcy and insolvency laws and to general principles of equity
          (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a
          proceeding in equity or at law).

          With respect to Debt Securities of a series subject to a Periodic
Offering, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the authorization by the
Company of any of such Debt Securities, the form and terms thereof and the
legality, validity, binding effect and enforceability thereof, upon the Opinion
of Counsel and other documents delivered pursuant to Sections 201 and 301 and
this Section, as applicable, at or prior to the time of the first authentication
of Debt Securities of such series unless and until such opinion or other
documents have been superseded or revoked or expire by their terms.  In
connection with the authentication and delivery of Debt Securities of a series
subject to a Periodic Offering, the Trustee shall be entitled to assume that the
Company's instructions to authenticate and deliver such Debt Securities do not
violate any rules, regulations or orders of any Governmental Authority having
jurisdiction over the Company.

          If the form or terms of the Debt Securities of any series have been
established by or pursuant to a Board Resolution or an Officer's Certificate as
permitted by Sections 201 or 301, the Trustee shall not be required to
authenticate such Debt Securities if the issuance of such Debt Securities
pursuant to this Indenture will materially or adversely affect the Trustee's own
rights, duties or immunities under the Debt Securities and this Indenture or
otherwise in a manner which is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee.

          Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 with respect
to any series of Debt Securities, or any Tranche thereof, each Debt Security
shall be dated the date of its authentication.

          Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 with respect
to any series of Debt Securities, or any Tranche thereof, no Debt Security shall
be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for
any purpose unless there appears on such Debt Security a certificate of
authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the
Trustee or its agent by manual signature, and such certificate upon any Debt
Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Debt
Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and is entitled to
the benefits of this Indenture.  Notwithstanding the

                                      26
<PAGE>

foregoing, if any Debt Security shall have been authenticated and delivered
hereunder to the Company, or any Person acting on its behalf, but shall never
have been issued and sold by the Company, and the Company shall deliver such
Debt Security to the Debt Security Registrar for cancellation as provided in
Section 309 together with a written statement (which need not comply with
Section 102 and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel) stating that
such Debt Security has never been issued and sold by the Company, for all
purposes of this Indenture such Debt Security shall be deemed never to have been
authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall never be entitled to the
benefits hereof.

Section 304. Temporary Debt Securities.

          Pending the preparation of definitive Debt Securities of any series,
or any Tranche thereof, the Company may execute, and upon Company Order the
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Debt Securities which are
printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any
authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Debt
Securities in lieu of which they are issued, with such appropriate insertions,
omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers executing such
Debt Securities may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Debt
Securities; provided, however, that temporary Debt Securities need not recite
specific redemption, sinking fund, conversion or exchange provisions.

          Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 with respect
to the Debt Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, after the
preparation of definitive Debt Securities of such series or Tranche, the
temporary Debt Securities of such series or Tranche shall be exchangeable,
without charge to the Holder thereof, for definitive Debt Securities of such
series or Tranche, upon surrender of such temporary Debt Securities at the
office or agency of the Company maintained pursuant to Section 602 in a Place of
Payment for such Debt Securities.  Upon such surrender of temporary Debt
Securities, the Company shall, except as aforesaid, execute and the Trustee
shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor definitive Debt Securities
of the same series and Tranche, of authorized denominations and of like tenor
and aggregate principal amount.

          Until exchanged in full as hereinabove provided, temporary Debt
Securities shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this
Indenture as definitive Debt Securities of the same series and Tranche and of
like tenor authenticated and delivered hereunder.

Section 305. Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange.

          The Company shall cause to be kept in each office designated pursuant
to Section 602, with respect to the Debt Securities of each series or any
Tranche thereof, a register (all registers kept in accordance with this Section
being collectively referred to as the "Debt Security Register") in which,
subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall
provide for the registration of Debt Securities of such series or Tranche and
the registration of transfer thereof.  The Company shall designate one Person to
maintain the Debt Security Register for the Debt Securities of each series on a
consolidated basis, and such Person is referred to herein, with respect to such
series, as the "Debt Security Registrar".  Anything herein

                                      27
<PAGE>

to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company may designate one or more of its
offices as an office in which a register with respect to the Debt Securities of
one or more series, or any Tranche or Tranches thereof, shall be maintained, and
the Company may designate itself the Debt Security Registrar with respect to one
or more of such series. The Debt Security Register shall be open for inspection
by the Trustee and the Company at all reasonable times.

          Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 with
respect to the Debt Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, upon
surrender for registration of transfer of any Debt Security of such series or
Tranche at the office or agency of the Company maintained pursuant to Section
602 in a Place of Payment for such series or Tranche, the Company shall execute,
and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated
transferee or transferees, one or more new Debt Securities of the same series
and Tranche, of authorized denominations and of like tenor and aggregate
principal amount.

          Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 with
respect to the Debt Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, any Debt
Security of such series or Tranche may be exchanged at the option of the Holder,
for one or more new Debt Securities of the same series and Tranche, of
authorized denominations and of like tenor and aggregate principal amount, upon
surrender of the Debt Securities to be exchanged at any such office or agency.
Whenever any Debt Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall
execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Debt Securities
which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

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

          Every Debt Security presented or surrendered for registration of
transfer or for exchange shall (if so required by the Company, the Trustee or
the Debt Security Registrar) be duly endorsed or shall be accompanied by a
written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company, the Trustee
or the Debt Security Registrar, as the case may be, duly executed by the Holder
thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.

          Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 with respect
to Debt Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, no service charge
shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Debt 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 Debt Securities, other than exchanges
pursuant to Section 304, 406 or 1206 not involving any transfer.

          The Company shall not be required to execute or to provide for the
registration of transfer of or the exchange of (a) Debt Securities of any
series, or any Tranche thereof, during a period of 15 days immediately preceding
the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of the Debt Securities of such
series or Tranche is to be given or (b) any Debt Security so selected for

                                      28
<PAGE>

redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Debt
Security being redeemed in part.

          None of the Company, the Trustee, any Paying Agent or the Debt
Security Registrar will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of
the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership
interests of a Global Security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any
records relating to such beneficial ownership interests.

Section 306. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Debt Securities.

          If any mutilated Debt Security is surrendered to the Trustee, the
Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange
therefor a new Debt 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 (a)
evidence to their satisfaction of the ownership of and the destruction, loss or
theft of any Debt Security and (b) such security or indemnity as may be
reasonably 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
Debt Security is held by a Person purporting to be the owner of such Debt
Security, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Debt Security, a new Debt
Security of the same series and Tranche, and of like tenor and principal amount
and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

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

          Upon the issuance of any new Debt 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
reasonable expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected
therewith.

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

Section 307. Payment of Interest and Additional Interest; Interest Rights
Preserved.

          Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 with respect
to the Debt Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, interest and
Additional Interest on any Debt 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 Debt Security (or one or more Predecessor Debt
Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date
for such interest.

          [Subject to Section 312] any interest on any Debt 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 related 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 (a) or (b) below:

          (a) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to
     the Persons in whose names the Debt Securities of such series (or their
     respective Predecessor Debt Securities) are registered at the close of
     business on a date (herein called 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 Debt 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 promptly cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted
     Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be mailed, first-class
     postage prepaid, to each Holder of Debt Securities of such series at the
     address of such Holder as it appears in the Debt Security Register, not
     less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date.  Notice of the
     proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date
     therefor having been so mailed, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to
     the Persons in whose names the Debt Securities of such series (or their
     respective Predecessor Debt Securities) are registered at the close of
     business on such Special Record Date.

          (b) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on the Debt
     Securities of any series in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with
     the requirements of any securities exchange on which such Debt Securities
     may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange,
     if, after notice given by the Company to the

                                      30
<PAGE>

    Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this clause, such manner of
    payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee.

          Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section and Section 305,
each Debt Security delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer
of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Debt Security shall carry the
rights to interest (including any Additional Interest) accrued and unpaid, and
to accrue, which were carried by such other Debt Security.

Section 308. Persons Deemed Owners.

          Prior to due presentment of a Debt 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 Debt Security is registered as the
absolute owner of such Debt Security for the purpose of receiving payment of
principal of and premium, if any, and (subject to Sections 305 and 307) interest
(including Additional Interest), if any, on such Debt Security and for all other
purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Debt Security is overdue, and neither
the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be
affected by notice to the contrary.

Section 309. Cancellation by Debt Security Registrar.

          All Debt Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, registration
of transfer or exchange shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Debt
Security Registrar, be delivered to the Debt Security Registrar and, if not
theretofore canceled, shall be promptly canceled by the Debt Security Registrar.
The Company may at any time deliver to the Debt Security Registrar for
cancellation any Debt Securities previously authenticated and delivered
hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever or which
the Company shall not have issued and sold, and all Debt Securities so delivered
shall be promptly canceled by the Debt Security Registrar.  No Debt Securities
shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Debt Securities
canceled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this
Indenture.  All certificates representing canceled Debt Securities held by the
Debt Security Registrar shall be disposed of in accordance with the customary
practices of the Debt Security Registrar at the time in effect, and the Debt
Security Registrar shall not be required to destroy any such certificates.  The
Debt Security Registrar, if other than the trustee, shall promptly deliver a
certificate of disposition with respect to such disposed certificates to the
Trustee and the Company unless, by a Company Order, similarly delivered, the
Company shall direct that canceled Debt Securities be returned to it.  The Debt
Security Registrar shall promptly deliver evidence of any cancellation of a Debt
Security in accordance with this Section to the Trustee and the Company.  If the
Trustee is the entity acting as Debt Security Registrar, it shall promptly
deliver to the Company a certificate of disposition with respect to any
certificates disposed of and/or evidence of any cancellation of a Debt Security,
in each case in accordance with this Section, if so requested by a Company
Order.

Section 310. Computation of Interest.

          Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for Debt
Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, interest on the Debt
Securities of each series shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year
consisting of twelve 30-day months and on the basis of the actual number of days
elapsed within any month in relation to the deemed 30 days of such month.

Section 311. Payment to be in Proper Currency.

          In the case of the Debt Securities of any series, or any Tranche
thereof, denominated in any currency other than Dollars or in a composite
currency (the "Required Currency"), except as otherwise specified with respect
to such Debt Securities as contemplated by Section 301, the obligation of the
Company to make any payment of the principal thereof, or the premium or interest
thereon, shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender by the Company, or
recovery by the Trustee, in any currency other than the Required Currency,
except to the extent that such tender or recovery shall result in the Trustee
timely holding the full amount of the Required Currency then due and payable.
If any such tender or recovery is in a currency other than the Required
Currency, the Trustee may take such actions as it considers appropriate to
exchange such currency for the Required Currency.  The costs and risks of any
such exchange, including without limitation the risks of delay and exchange rate
fluctuation, shall be borne by the Company, the Company shall remain fully
liable for any shortfall or delinquency in the full amount of Required Currency
then due and payable, and in no circumstances shall the Trustee be liable
therefor except in the case of its negligence or willful misconduct.

[Section 312.  Deferrals of Interest Payment Dates.

          If specified as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to the Debt
Securities of a particular series, so long as no Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing, the Company shall have the right, at any time during the term
of such series, from time to time to defer the payment of interest on such Debt
Securities for such period or periods (each an "Extension Period") not to exceed
the number of consecutive quarterly, semi-annual or other periods that equal
five years with respect to each Extension Period, during which Extension Periods
the Company shall, if so specified as contemplated by Section 301, have the
right to make partial payments of interest on any Interest Payment Date.  No
Extension Period shall end on a date other than an Interest Payment Date.  At
the end of any such Extension Period, the Company shall pay all interest then
accrued and unpaid on the Debt Securities (together with Additional Interest
thereon, if any, at the rate specified for the Debt Securities of such series to
the extent permitted by applicable law); provided, however, that no Extension
Period shall extend beyond the Stated Maturity of the principal of the Debt
Securities of such series; and provided further, however, that, during any such
Extension Period, the Company shall not (i) declare or pay any dividends or
distributions on, or redeem, purchase, acquire or make a liquidation payment
with respect to, any of the Company's capital stock, or (ii) make any payment of
principal of or interest or premium, if any, on or repay, repurchase or redeem
any debt securities of the

                                      32
<PAGE>

Company that rank pari passu in all respects with or junior in interest to the
Debt Securities of such series (other than (a) repurchases, redemptions or other
acquisitions of shares of capital stock of the Company in connection with any
employment contract, benefit plan or other similar arrangement with or for the
benefit of any one or more employees, officers, directors or consultants or in
connection with a dividend reinvestment or shareholder stock purchase plan, (b)
as a result of an exchange or conversion of any class or series of the Company's
capital stock (or any capital stock of a Subsidiary of the Company) for any
class or series of the Company's capital stock or of any class or series of the
Company's then outstanding indebtedness for any class or series of the Company's
capital stock, (c) the purchase of fractional interests in shares of the
Company's capital stock pursuant to the conversion or exchange provisions of
such capital stock or the security being converted or exchanged, (d) any
declaration of a dividend in the form of capital stock in connection with any
Rights Plan, or the issuance of rights to capital stock under any Rights Plan,
or the redemption or repurchase of rights pursuant thereto, or (e) any dividend
in the form of stock, warrants, options or other rights where the dividend stock
or the stock issuable upon exercise of such warrants, options or other rights is
the same stock as that on which the dividend is being paid or ranks pari passu
with or junior to such stock). Prior to the termination of any such Extension
Period, the Company may further defer the payment of interest, provided that no
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and provided further, that no
Extension Period shall exceed the period or periods specified in such Debt
Securities, extend beyond the Stated Maturity of the principal of such Debt
Securities or end on a date other than an Interest Payment Date. Upon the
termination of any such Extension Period and upon the payment of all accrued and
unpaid interest and any Additional Interest then due on any Interest Payment
Date, the Company may elect to begin a new Extension Period, subject to the
above conditions. No interest or Additional Interest shall be due and payable
during an Extension Period, except at the end thereof, but each installment of
interest that would otherwise have been due and payable during such Extension
Period shall bear Additional Interest as and to the extent as may be specified
as contemplated by Section 301. The Company shall give the Holders of the Debt
Securities of such series and the Trustee notice of its election to begin any
such Extension Period at least one Business Day prior to the next succeeding
Interest Payment Date on which interest on Debt Securities of such series would
be payable but for such deferral or, with respect to any Debt Securities of a
series issued to a Trust, so long as any such Debt Securities are held by such
Trust, at least one Business Day prior to the earlier of (i) the next succeeding
date on which Distributions on the Trust Preferred Securities of such Trust
would be payable but for such deferral and (ii) the date on which the Property
Trustee of such Trust is required to give notice to holders of such Trust
Preferred Securities of the record date or the date such Distributions are
payable, but in any event not less than one Business Day prior to such record
date.

          The Trustee shall promptly give notice of the Company's election to
begin any such Extension Period to the Holders of the Outstanding Debt
Securities of such series.]

[Section 313.  Right to Set-off.

          With respect to the Debt Securities of a series initially issued to a
Trust, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Company shall have
the right to set off any payment it is otherwise required to make in respect of
any such Debt Security to the extent the

                                      33
<PAGE>

Company has theretofore made, or is concurrently on the date of such payment
making, a payment under the Guarantee relating to such Debt Security or to a
holder of Trust Preferred Securities pursuant to an action undertaken under
Section 808 of this Indenture.]

[Section 314.  Shortening or Extension of Stated Maturity.

          If specified as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to the Debt
Securities of a particular series, the Company shall have the right to (i)
shorten the Stated Maturity of the principal of the Debt Securities of such
series at any time to any date and (ii) extend the Stated Maturity of the
principal of the Debt Securities of such series at any time at its election for
one or more periods, provided that, if the Company elects to exercise its right
to extend the Stated Maturity of the principal of the Debt Securities of such
series pursuant to clause (ii) above, at the time such election is made and at
the time of extension, such conditions as may be specified in such Debt
Securities shall have been satisfied.]

                                    ARTICLE IV

                         Redemption of Debt Securities
                         -----------------------------

Section 401.  Applicability of Article.

          Debt Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, 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 Debt Securities of such series or Tranche) in accordance with this Article.

Section 402. Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee.

          The election of the Company to redeem any Debt Securities shall be
evidenced by a Board Resolution and/or an Officer's Certificate.  The Company
shall, at least 45 days prior to the Redemption Date fixed by the Company
(unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the
Trustee[ and, in the case of Debt Securities of a series held by a Trust, the
Property Trustee under the related Trust Agreement,] in writing of such
Redemption Date and of the principal amount of such Debt Securities to be
redeemed.  In the case of any redemption of Debt Securities (a) prior to the
expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided in the terms of such
Debt Securities or elsewhere in this Indenture or (b) pursuant to an election of
the Company which is subject to a condition specified in the terms of such Debt
Securities, the Company shall furnish the Trustee with an Officer's Certificate
evidencing compliance with such restriction or condition.

Section 403. Selection of Debt Securities to be Redeemed.

          If less than all the Debt Securities of any series, or any Tranche
thereof, are to be redeemed, the particular Debt Securities to be redeemed shall
be selected by the Trustee from the Outstanding Debt Securities of such series
or Tranche not previously called for redemption, by

                                      34
<PAGE>

such method as shall be provided for any particular series, or, in the absence
of any such provision, by such method of random selection as the Trustee shall
deem fair and appropriate and which may, in any case, provide for the selection
for redemption of portions (equal to the minimum authorized denomination for
Debt Securities of such series or Tranche or any integral multiple thereof) of
the principal amount of Debt Securities of such series or Tranche of a
denomination larger than the minimum authorized denomination for Debt Securities
of such series or Tranche; provided, however, that if, as indicated in an
Officer's Certificate, the Company shall have offered to purchase all or any
principal amount of the Debt Securities then Outstanding of any series, or any
Tranche thereof, and less than all of such Debt Securities as to which such
offer was made shall have been tendered to the Company for such purchase, the
Trustee, if so directed by Company Order, shall select for redemption all or any
principal amount of such Debt Securities which have not been so tendered.

          If the Debt Securities are then held in the form of a Global Security,
the Trustee shall select Debt Securities to be redeemed in accordance with the
customary procedures for the Depositary.

          The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company and the Debt Security
Registrar in writing of the Debt Securities selected for redemption and, in the
case of any Debt Securities selected to be redeemed in part, the principal
amount thereof to be redeemed.

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

Section 404. Notice of Redemption.

          Notice of redemption shall be given in the manner provided in Section
106 to the Holders of the Debt Securities to be redeemed not less than 30 nor
more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date.

          All notices of redemption shall state:

          (a)  the Redemption Date,

          (b)  the Redemption Price,

          (c) if less than all the Debt Securities of any series or Tranche are
     to be redeemed, the identification of the particular Debt Securities to be
     redeemed and the portion of the principal amount of any Debt Security to be
     redeemed in part,

          (d) that on the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price, together with
     accrued interest (including Additional Interest), if any, to the Redemption
     Date, will become due and payable upon each such Debt Security to be
     redeemed and, if applicable and provided that the Redemption Price is
     received by the Paying Agent or Agents on or prior to the

                                      35
<PAGE>

     Redemption Date, that interest (including any Additional Interest) thereon
     will cease to accrue on and after said date,

          (e) the place or places where such Debt Securities are to be
     surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest
     (including Additional Interest), if any, unless it shall have been
     specified as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to such Debt
     Securities that such surrender shall not be required,

          (f) that the redemption is for a sinking or other fund, if such is the
     case, and

          (g) such other matters as the Company shall deem desirable or
     appropriate (including CUSIP numbers with respect to such Debt Securities,
     if the Company shall so elect, in which event such notice of redemption may
     contain a disclaimer as to the correctness of such numbers either as
     printed on the Debt Securities or on such notice of redemption).

          Unless otherwise specified with respect to any Debt Securities in
accordance with Section 301, with respect to any notice of redemption of Debt
Securities at the election of the Company, unless, upon the giving of such
notice, such Debt Securities shall be deemed to have been paid in accordance
with Section 701, such notice may state that such redemption shall be
conditional upon the receipt by the Paying Agent or Agents for such Debt
Securities, on or prior to the date fixed for such redemption, of money
sufficient to pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest (including
Additional Interest), if any, on such Debt Securities and that if such money
shall not have been so received such notice shall be of no force or effect and
the Company shall not be required to redeem such Debt Securities.  In the event
that such notice of redemption contains such a condition and such money is not
so received, the redemption shall not be made and within a reasonable time
thereafter notice shall be given, in the manner in which the notice of
redemption was given, that such money was not so received and such redemption
was not required to be made, and the Paying Agent or Agents for the Debt
Securities otherwise to have been redeemed shall promptly return to the Holders
thereof any of such Debt Securities which had been surrendered for payment upon
such redemption.

          Notice of redemption of Debt Securities to be redeemed at the election
of the Company, and any notice of non-satisfaction of a condition for redemption
as aforesaid, shall be given by the Company or, at the Company's request, by the
Debt Security Registrar in the name and at the expense of the Company.  Notice
of mandatory redemption of Debt Securities shall be given by the Debt Security
Registrar in the name and at the expense of the Company.

Section 405. Debt Securities Payable on Redemption Date.

          Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, and the
conditions, if any, set forth in such notice having been satisfied, the Debt
Securities or portions thereof 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, in the case of an unconditional notice of redemption,
the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued
interest (including Additional Interest), if any) such Debt Securities or
portions thereof, if

                                      36
<PAGE>

interest-bearing, shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any such Debt
Security for redemption in accordance with such notice, such Debt Security or
portion thereof shall be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price, together
with accrued interest (including Additional Interest), if any, to the Redemption
Date; provided, however, that no such surrender shall be a condition to such
payment if so specified as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to such Debt
Security; and provided, further, that except as otherwise specified as
contemplated by Section 301 with respect to such Debt Security, any installment
of interest on any Debt Security the Stated Maturity of which installment is on
or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holder of such Debt
Security, or one or more Predecessor Debt Securities, registered as such at the
close of business on the related Regular Record Date according to the terms of
such Debt Security and subject to the provisions of Section 307.

Section 406. Debt Securities Redeemed in Part.

          Upon the surrender of any Debt Security which is to be redeemed only
in part 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), the Company shall execute, and the
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Debt Security,
without service charge, a new Debt Security or Debt Securities of the same
series and Tranche, of any authorized denomination requested by such Holder and
of like tenor and in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the
unredeemed portion of the principal of the Debt Security so surrendered.

                                 -------------

Section 501.  Applicability of Article.

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

<PAGE>

          The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the
terms of Debt Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, 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 Debt Securities of any series,
or any Tranche thereof, is herein referred to as an "optional sinking fund
payment."  If provided for by the terms of Debt Securities of any series, or any
Tranche thereof, the cash amount of any sinking fund payment may be subject to
reduction as provided in Section 502.  Each sinking fund payment shall be
applied to the redemption of Debt Securities of the series or Tranche in respect
of which it was made as provided for by the terms of such Debt Securities.

Section 502. Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments with Debt Securities.

          The Company (a) may deliver to the Trustee Outstanding Debt Securities
(other than any previously called for redemption) of a series or Tranche in
respect of which a mandatory sinking fund payment is to be made and (b) may
apply as a credit Debt Securities of such series or Tranche which have been
redeemed either at the election of the Company pursuant to the terms of such
Debt Securities or through the application of permitted optional sinking fund
payments pursuant to the terms of such Debt Securities, in each case in
satisfaction of all or any part of such mandatory sinking fund payment;
provided, however, that no Debt Securities shall be applied in satisfaction of a
mandatory sinking fund payment if such Debt Securities shall have been
previously so applied.  Debt Securities so applied shall be received and
credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the Redemption Price specified in
such Debt Securities for redemption through operation of the sinking fund and
the amount of such mandatory sinking fund payment shall be reduced accordingly.

Section 503. Redemption of Debt Securities for Sinking Fund.

          Not less than 45 days prior to each sinking fund payment date for the
Debt Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, the Company shall deliver
to the Trustee an Officer's Certificate specifying:

          (a) the amount of the next succeeding mandatory sinking fund payment
     for such series or Tranche;

          (b) the amount, if any, of the optional sinking fund payment to be
     made together with such mandatory sinking fund payment;

          (c) the aggregate sinking fund payment;

          (d) the portion, if any, of such aggregate sinking fund payment which
     is to be satisfied by the payment of cash; and

          (e) the portion, if any, of such aggregate sinking fund payment which
     is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting Debt Securities of such
     series or Tranche pursuant to Section 502 and stating the basis for such
     credit and that such Debt Securities have not

                                      38
<PAGE>

     previously been so credited, and the Company shall also deliver to the
     Trustee any Debt Securities to be so delivered.

          If the Company shall not have delivered such Officer's Certificate
and, to the extent applicable, all such Debt Securities, on or prior to the
45/th/ day prior to such sinking fund payment date, the sinking fund payment for
such series or Tranche in respect of such sinking fund payment date shall be
made entirely in cash in the amount of the mandatory sinking fund payment.  Not
less than 30 days before each such sinking fund payment date the Trustee shall
select the Debt Securities to be redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date in
the manner specified in Section 403 and the Debt Security Registrar shall 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 404.  Such notice having been
duly given, the redemption of such Debt Securities shall be made upon the terms
and in the manner stated in Sections 405 and 406.

                                  ARTICLE VI

                                   ---------

Section 601.  Payment of Principal, Premium and Interest.

          The Company shall pay the principal of and premium, if any, and
interest (including Additional Interest), if any, on the Debt Securities of each
series in accordance with the terms of such Debt Securities and this Indenture.

Section 602. Maintenance of Office or Agency.

          The Company shall maintain in each Place of Payment for the Debt
Securities of each series, or any Tranche thereof, an office or agency where
payment of such Debt Securities shall be made, where the registration of
transfer or exchange of such Debt Securities may be effected and where notices
and demands to or upon the Company in respect of such Debt Securities and this
Indenture may be served.  The Company shall give prompt written notice to the
Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of each such office or
agency and prompt notice to the Holders of any such change in the manner
specified in Section 106.  If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any
such required office or agency in respect of Debt Securities of any series, or
any Tranche thereof, or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address
thereof, payment of such Debt Securities shall be made, registration of transfer
or exchange thereof may be effected and notices and demands in respect thereof
may be served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and the Company
hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent for all such purposes in any such
event.

          The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other
offices or agencies with respect to the Debt Securities of one or more series,
or any Tranche thereof, for any or all of the foregoing purposes and may from
time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that, unless
otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to the Debt
Securities of such series or Tranche no such designation or rescission shall in
any

                                      39
<PAGE>

manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency for
such purposes in each Place of Payment for such Debt Securities in accordance
with the requirements set forth above. The Company shall give prompt written
notice to the Trustee, and prompt notice to the Holders in the manner specified
in Section 106, of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the
location of any such other office or agency.

          Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, any office or agency
required by this Section may be maintained at an office of the Company, in which
event the Company shall perform all functions to be performed at such office or
agency.

Section 603. Money for Debt Securities Payments to be Held in Trust.

          If the Company shall at any time act as its own Paying Agent with
respect to the Debt Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, it shall,
on or before each due date of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest
(including Additional Interest), if any, on any of such Debt Securities,
segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a
sum sufficient to pay the principal and premium or interest (including
Additional Interest) so becoming due until such sums shall be paid to such
Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided.  The Company shall promptly
notify the Trustee of any failure by the Company (or any other obligor on such
Debt Securities) to make any payment of principal of or premium, if any, or
interest (including Additional Interest), if any, on such Debt Securities.

          Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents for the Debt
Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, it shall, on or before each
due date of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest (including
Additional Interest), if any, on such Debt Securities, deposit with such Paying
Agents sums sufficient (without duplication) to pay the principal and premium or
interest (including Additional Interest) so becoming due, such sum to be held in
trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such principal, premium or
interest (including Additional Interest), and (unless such Paying Agent is the
Trustee) the Company shall promptly notify the Trustee of any failure by it so
to act.

          The Company shall cause each Paying Agent for the Debt Securities of
any series, or any Tranche thereof, other than the Company or 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 shall:

          (a) hold all sums held by it for the payment of the principal of and
     premium, if any, or interest (including Additional Interest), if any, on
     such Debt Securities in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled
     thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed
     of as herein provided;

          (b) give the Trustee notice of any failure by the Company (or any
     other obligor upon such Debt Securities) to make any payment of principal
     of or premium, if any, or interest (including Additional Interest), if any,
     on such Debt Securities; and

                                      40
<PAGE>

          (c) at any time during the continuance of any such default, upon the
     written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so
     held in trust by such Paying Agent and furnish to the Trustee such
     information as it possesses regarding the names and addresses of the
     Persons entitled to such sums.

          The Company may at any time 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, if so
stated in a Company Order delivered to the Trustee, in accordance with the
provisions of Article VII; 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 and premium, if
any, or interest (including Additional Interest), if any, on any Debt Security
and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal and premium, if any,
or interest (including Additional 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, upon such payment or discharge, the Holder
of such Debt Security shall, as an unsecured general creditor and not as a
Holder of an Outstanding Debt Security, look only to the Company for payment of
the amount so due and payable and remaining unpaid, 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
payment to the Company, may at the expense of the Company cause to be mailed, on
one occasion only, notice to such Holder 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 mailing, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining
will be paid to the Company.

Section 604.  Corporate Existence.

          Subject to the rights of the Company under Article XI, the Company
shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full
force and effect its corporate existence.

Section 605. Maintenance of Properties.

          The Company shall cause (or, with respect to property owned in common
with others, make reasonable effort to cause) all its properties used or useful
in the conduct of its business to be maintained and kept in good condition,
repair and working order and shall cause (or, with respect to property owned in
common with others, make reasonable effort to 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 conducted; provided, however, that
nothing in this Section shall prevent the Company from discontinuing, or causing
the discontinuance of, the operation

                                      41
<PAGE>

and maintenance of any of its properties if such discontinuance is, in the
judgment of the Company, desirable in the conduct of its business.

Section 606. Annual Officer's Certificate as to Compliance.

          Not later than ______________ in each year, commencing
_______________, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer's
Certificate which need not comply with Section 102, executed by the principal
executive officer, the principal financial officer or the principal accounting
officer of the Company, stating whether, to such officer's knowledge, the
Company is in compliance with all conditions and covenants under this Indenture,
such compliance to be determined without regard to any period of grace or
requirement of notice under this Indenture, and making any other statements as
may be required by the provisions of Section 314(a)(4) of the Trust Indenture
Act.

Section 607. Waiver of Certain Covenants.

          The Company[, subject to the rights of holders of Trust Preferred
Securities specified in Section 1202,] may omit in any particular instance to
comply with any term, provision or condition set forth in (a) Section 602 or any
additional covenant or restriction specified with respect to the Debt Securities
of any series, or any Tranche thereof, as contemplated by Section 301 if before
the time for such compliance the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of all series and Tranches
with respect to which compliance with Section 602 or such additional covenant or
restriction is to be omitted, considered as one class, shall, by Act of such
Holders, either waive such compliance in such instance or generally waive
compliance with such term, provision or condition and (b) Sections 604, 605, 606
or Article XI if before the time for such compliance the Holders of at least a
majority in principal amount of Debt Securities Outstanding under this Indenture
shall, by Act of such Holders, either waive such compliance in such instance or
generally waive compliance with such term, provision or condition; but, in the
case of (a) or (b), 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.

[Section 608.  Additional Sums.

          In the case of the Debt Securities of a series initially issued to a
Trust, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and except
as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, if (i) a Trust is the
Holder of all of the Outstanding Debt Securities of such series and (ii) a Tax
Event has occurred and is continuing in respect of such Trust, the Company shall
pay to such Trust (and its permitted successors or assigns under the related
Trust Agreement) for so long as such Trust (or its permitted successor or
assignee) is the registered holder of the Outstanding Debt Securities of such
series, such additional sums as may be necessary in order that the amount of
Distributions (as defined in such Trust Agreement), including any Additional
Amounts (as defined in such Trust Agreement), then due and payable by such Trust
on the related Trust Preferred Securities and Trust Common Securities that at
any

                                      42
<PAGE>

time remain outstanding in accordance with the terms thereof shall not be
reduced as a result of such Additional Taxes (the "Additional Sums").  Whenever
in this Indenture or the Debt Securities there is a reference in any context to
the payment of principal of or interest on the Debt Securities, such mention
shall be deemed to include mention of the payments of the Additional Sums
provided for in this paragraph to the extent that, in such context, Additional
Sums are, were or would be payable in respect thereof pursuant to the provisions
of this paragraph and express mention of the payment of Additional Sums (if
applicable) in any provisions hereof shall not be construed as excluding
Additional Sums in those provisions hereof where such express mention is not
made; provided, however, that the deferral of the payment of interest pursuant
to Section 312 on the Securities shall not defer the payment of any Additional
Sums that may be due and payable.]

[Section 609.  Additional Covenants.

          The Company covenants with each Holder of Debt Securities of a series
issued to a Trust (i) to hold, directly or indirectly, 100% of the Trust Common
Securities of such Trust, provided that any permitted successor of the Company
as provided under Section 1102 may succeed to the Company's ownership of such
Trust Common Securities, (ii) as holder of such Trust Common Securities, not to
voluntarily terminate, wind up or liquidate such Trust, other than (a) in
connection with a distribution of the Debt Securities of such series to the
holders of the related Trust Preferred Securities in liquidation of such Trust,
or (b) in connection with certain mergers, consolidations or amalgamations
permitted by the related Trust Agreement, and (iii) to use its reasonable
efforts, consistent with the terms and provisions of such Trust Agreement, to
cause such Trust to continue to be taxable as a grantor trust for United States
Federal income tax purposes.]

Section 701.  Satisfaction and Discharge of Debt Securities.

          Any Debt Security or Debt Securities, or any portion of the principal
amount thereof, shall be deemed to have been paid for all purposes of this
Indenture, and the entire indebtedness of the Company in respect thereof shall
be deemed to have been satisfied and discharged, if there shall have been
irrevocably deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent (other than the
Company), in trust:

          (a) money in an amount which shall be sufficient, or

          (b) in the case of a deposit made prior to the Maturity of such Debt
     Securities or portions thereof, Eligible Obligations, which shall not
     contain provisions permitting the redemption or other prepayment thereof at
     the option of the issuer thereof, the principal of and the interest on
     which when due, without any regard to reinvestment

                                      43
<PAGE>

     thereof, will provide moneys which, together with the money, if any,
     deposited with or held by the Trustee or such Paying Agent, shall be
     sufficient, or

          (c)  a combination of (a) or (b) which shall be sufficient, to pay
when due the principal of and premium, if any, and interest (including
Additional Interest), if any, due and to become due on such Debt Securities or
portions thereof on or prior to Maturity; provided, however, that in the case of
the provision for payment or redemption of less than all the Debt Securities of
any series or Tranche, such Debt Securities or portions thereof shall have been
selected by the Trustee as provided herein and, in the case of a redemption, the
notice requisite to the validity of such redemption shall have been given or
irrevocable authority shall have been given by the Company to the Trustee to
give such notice, under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee; and provided,
further, that the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee and such Paying
Agent:

               (x) if such deposit shall have been made prior to the Maturity of
          such Debt Securities, a Company Order stating that the money and
          Eligible Obligations deposited in accordance with this Section shall
          be held in trust, as provided in Section 703;

               (y) if Eligible Obligations shall have been deposited, an Opinion
          of Counsel that the obligations so deposited constitute Eligible
          Obligations and do not contain provisions permitting the redemption or
          other prepayment at the option of the issuer thereof, and an opinion
          of an independent public accountant of nationally recognized standing,
          selected by the Company, to the effect that the requirements set forth
          in clause (b) above have been satisfied; and

               (z) if such deposit shall have been made prior to the Maturity of
          such Debt Securities, an Officer's Certificate stating the Company's
          intention that, upon delivery of such Officer's Certificate, its
          indebtedness in respect of such Debt Securities or portions thereof
          will have been satisfied and discharged as contemplated in this
          Section.

          If the Company shall make any deposit of money and/or Eligible
Obligations with respect to any Debt Securities, or any portion of the principal
amount thereof, as contemplated by this section, the Company shall not deliver
an Officer's Certificate described in clause (z) above unless the Company shall
also deliver to the Trustee, together with such Officer's Certificate, an
Opinion of Counsel to the effect that, as a result of a change in law occurring
after the date of this Indenture, the Holders of such Debt Securities, or
portions thereof, will not recognize income, gain or loss for United States
federal income tax purposes as a result of the satisfaction and discharge of the
Company's indebtedness in respect thereof and will be subject to United States
federal income tax on the same amounts, at the same times and in the same manner
as if such satisfaction and discharge had not been effected.

          Upon the deposit of money or Eligible Obligations, or both, in
accordance with this Section, together with the documents required by clauses
(x), (y) and (z) above, the Trustee

                                      44
<PAGE>

shall, upon receipt of a Company Request, acknowledge in writing that the Debt
Security or Debt Securities or portions thereof with respect to which such
deposit was made are deemed to have been paid for all purposes of this Indenture
and that the entire indebtedness of the Company in respect thereof has been
satisfied and discharged as contemplated in this Section. In the event that all
of the conditions set forth in the first paragraph of this Section shall have
been satisfied in respect of any Debt Securities or portions thereof except
that, for any reason, the Officer's Certificate specified in clause (z) shall
not have been delivered, such Debt Securities or portions thereof shall
nevertheless be deemed to have been paid for all purposes of this Indenture, and
the Holders of such Debt Securities or portions thereof shall nevertheless be no
longer entitled to the benefits of this Indenture or of any of the covenants of
the Company under Article VI (except the covenants contained in Sections 602 and
603) or any other covenants made in respect of such Debt Securities or portions
thereof as contemplated by Section 301, but the indebtedness of the Company in
respect of such Debt Securities or portions thereof shall not be deemed to have
been satisfied and discharged prior to Maturity for any other purpose, and the
Holders of such Debt Securities or portions thereof shall continue to be
entitled to look to the Company for payment of the indebtedness represented
thereby; and, upon receipt of a Company Request, the Trustee shall acknowledge
in writing that such Debt Securities or portions thereof are deemed to have been
paid for all purposes of this Indenture.

          If payment at Stated Maturity of less than all of the Debt Securities
of any series, or any Tranche thereof, is to be provided for in the manner and
with the effect provided in this Section, the Trustee shall select such Debt
Securities, or portions of principal amount thereof, in the manner specified by
Section 403 for selection for redemption of less than all the Debt Securities of
a series or Tranche.

          In the event that Debt Securities which shall be deemed to have been
paid for purposes of this Indenture, and, if such is the case, in respect of
which the Company's indebtedness shall have been satisfied and discharged, all
as provided in this Section do not mature and are not to be redeemed within the
sixty (60) day period commencing with the date of the deposit of moneys or
Eligible Obligations, as aforesaid, the Company shall, as promptly as
practicable, give a notice, in the same manner as a notice of redemption with
respect to such Debt Securities, to the Holders of such Debt Securities to the
effect that such deposit has been made and the effect thereof.

          Notwithstanding that any Debt Securities shall be deemed to have been
paid for purposes of this Indenture, as aforesaid, the obligations of the
Company and the Trustee in respect of such Debt Securities under Sections 304,
305, 306, 404, 503 (as to notice of redemption), 602, 603, 907, 914 and 915 and
this Article shall survive.

          The Company shall pay, and shall indemnify the Trustee or any Paying
Agent with which Eligible Obligations shall have been deposited as provided in
this Section against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against
such Eligible Obligations or the principal or interest received in respect of
such Eligible Obligations, including, but not limited to, any such tax payable
by any entity deemed, for tax purposes, to have been created as a result of such
deposit.

                                      45
<PAGE>

          Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (a) if, at any time
after a Debt Security would be deemed to have been paid for purposes of this
Indenture, and, if such is the case, the Company's indebtedness in respect
thereof would be deemed to have been satisfied or discharged, pursuant to this
Section (without regard to the provisions of this paragraph), the Trustee or any
Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall be required to return the money or
Eligible Obligations, or combination thereof, deposited with it as aforesaid to
the Company or its representative under any applicable Federal or State
bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, such Debt Security shall thereupon
be deemed retroactively not to have been paid and any satisfaction and discharge
of the Company's indebtedness in respect thereof shall retroactively be deemed
not to have been effected, and such Debt Security shall be deemed to remain
Outstanding and (b) any satisfaction and discharge of the Company's indebtedness
in respect of any Debt Security shall be subject to the provisions of the last
paragraph of Section 603.

Section 702. Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture.

          This Indenture shall upon Company Request cease to be of further
effect (except as hereinafter expressly provided), and the Trustee, at the
expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, when

          (a) no Debt Securities remain Outstanding hereunder; and

          (b) the Company has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable
     hereunder by the Company;

provided, however, that if, in accordance with the last paragraph of Section
701, any Debt Security, previously deemed to have been paid for purposes of this
Indenture, shall be deemed retroactively not to have been so paid, this
Indenture shall thereupon be deemed retroactively not to have been satisfied and
discharged, as aforesaid, and to remain in full force and effect, and the
Company shall execute and deliver such instruments as the Trustee shall
reasonably request to evidence and acknowledge the same.

          Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture as
aforesaid, the obligations of the Company and the Trustee under Sections 304,
305, 306, 404, 503 (as to notice of redemption), 602, 603, 907, 914 and 915 and
this Article shall survive.

          Upon satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture as provided in this
Section, the Trustee shall assign, transfer and turn over to the Company,
subject to the lien provided by Section 907, any and all money, securities and
other property then held by the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of the
Debt Securities other than money and Eligible Obligations held by the Trustee
pursuant to Section 703.

Section 703. Application of Trust Money.

          Neither the Eligible Obligations nor the money deposited pursuant to

Obligations, shall be withdrawn or used for any purpose other than, and shall be
held in trust for, the payment of the principal of,

and premium, if any, and interest (including Additional Interest), if any, on,
the Debt Securities or portions of principal amount thereof in respect of which
such deposit was made, all subject, however, to the provisions of Section 603;
provided, however, that, so long as there shall not have occurred and be
continuing an Event of Default, or an event which, with the giving of notice or
the passage of time, would become an Event of Default, any cash received from
such principal or interest payments on such Eligible Obligations, if not then
needed for such purpose, shall, to the extent practicable, be invested in
Eligible Obligations of the type described in clause (b) in the first paragraph
of Section 701 maturing at such times and in such amounts as shall be sufficient
to pay when due the principal of and premium, if any, and interest (including
Additional Interest), if any, due and to become due on such Debt Securities or
portions thereof on and prior to the Maturity thereof, and interest earned from
such reinvestment shall be paid over to the Company as received, free and clear
of any trust, lien or pledge under this Indenture except the lien provided by
Section 907; and provided, further, that, so long as there shall not have
occurred and be continuing an Event of Default, or an event which, with the
giving of notice or the passage of time, would become an Event of Default, any
moneys held in accordance with this Section on the Maturity of all such Debt
Securities in excess of the amount required to pay the principal of and premium,
if any, and interest (including Additional Interest), if any, then due on such
Debt Securities shall be paid over to the Company free and clear of any trust,
lien or pledge under this Indenture except the lien provided by Section 907; and
provided, further, that if an Event of Default, or an event which, with the
giving of notice or the passage of time, would become an Event of Default, shall
have occurred and be continuing, moneys to be paid over to the Company pursuant
to this Section shall be held until such Event of Default, or event which, with
the giving of notice or the passage of time, would become an Event of Default,
shall have been waived or cured. [Money held by the Trustee under this Section
shall not be subject to the claims of the holders of Senior Indebtedness under
Article XV.]

                          Events of Default; Remedies
                          ---------------------------
Section 801.  Events of Default.

          "Event of Default", wherever used herein with respect to Debt
Securities of any series, means any one of the following events:

          (a) failure to pay interest (including Additional Interest), if any,
     on any Debt Security of such series within thirty (30) days after the same
     becomes due and payable[ (whether or not payment is prohibited by the
     provisions of Article XV hereof); provided, however, that a valid extension
     of the interest payment period by the Company as contemplated in Section
     312 of this Indenture shall not constitute a failure to pay interest for
     this purpose]; or

          (b) failure to pay the principal of or premium, if any, on any Debt
     Security of such series when due and payable[(whether or not payment is
     prohibited by the provisions of Article XV hereof]; or

<PAGE>

          (c) failure to perform or breach of any covenant or warranty of the
     Company in this Indenture (other than a covenant or warranty a default in
     the performance of which or breach of which is elsewhere in this Section
     specifically dealt with or which has expressly been included in this
     Indenture solely for the benefit of one or more series of Debt Securities
     other than such series) for a period of 60 days after there has been given,
     by registered or certified mail, to the Company by the Trustee, or to the
     Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 33% in principal amount
     of the Outstanding Debt Securities of such series, a written notice
     specifying such default or breach and requiring it to be remedied and
     stating that such notice is a "Notice of Default" hereunder, unless the
     Trustee, or the Trustee and the Holders of a principal amount of Debt
     Securities of such series not less than the principal amount of Debt
     Securities the Holders of which gave such notice, as the case may be, shall
     agree in writing to an extension of such period prior to its expiration;
     provided, however, that the Trustee, or the Trustee and the Holders of such
     principal amount of Debt Securities of such series, as the case may be,
     shall be deemed to have agreed to an extension of such period for a maximum
     of one hundred twenty (120) days if corrective action is initiated by the
     Company within such period and is being diligently pursued; or

          (d) the entry by a court having jurisdiction in the premises of (1) a
     decree or order for relief in respect of the Company in an involuntary case
     or proceeding under any applicable Federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency,
     reorganization or other similar law or (2) a decree or order adjudging the
     Company a bankrupt or insolvent, or approving as properly filed a petition
     by one or more Persons other than the Company seeking reorganization,
     arrangement, adjustment or composition of or in respect of the Company
     under any applicable Federal or state law, or appointing a custodian,
     receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar
     official for the Company or for any substantial part of its property, or
     ordering the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, and any such decree
     or order for relief or any such other decree or order shall have remained
     unstayed and in effect for a period of 90 consecutive days; or

          (e) the commencement by the Company of a voluntary case or proceeding
     under any applicable Federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency,
     reorganization or other similar law or of any other case or proceeding to
     be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or the consent by it to the entry
     of a decree or order for relief in respect of the Company in case or
     proceeding under any applicable Federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency,
     reorganization or other similar law or to the commencement of any
     bankruptcy or insolvency case or proceeding against it, or the filing by it
     of a petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization or relief under
     any applicable Federal or state law, or the consent by it to the filing of
     such petition or to the appointment of or taking possession by a custodian,
     receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or similar official
     of the Company or of any substantial part of its property, or the making by
     it of an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the admission by it in
     writing of its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, or
     the authorization of such action by the Board of Directors; or

                                      48
<PAGE>

          (f) any other Event of Default specified with respect to Debt
     Securities of such series.

Section 802. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.

          If an Event of Default due to the default in payment of principal of,
or premium, if any, or interest (including Additional Interest) on, any series
of Debt Securities or due to the default in the performance or breach of any
other covenant or warranty of the Company applicable to the Debt Securities of
such series but not applicable to all Outstanding Debt Securities shall have
occurred and be continuing, either the Trustee or the Holders of not less than
33% in principal amount of the Debt Securities of such series may then declare
the principal amount (or, if any of the Debt Securities of such series are
Discount Debt Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be
specified in the terms thereof as contemplated by Section 301) of all Debt
Securities of such series and premium, if payment of any thereof be in default,
and interest (including Additional Interest) accrued thereon to be due and
payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee
if given by the Holders); provided that, in the case of the Debt Securities of a
series issued to a Trust, if, upon an Event of Default, the Trustee or the
Holders of not less than 33% in principal amount of the Outstanding Debt
Securities of such series fail to declare the principal of all the Outstanding
Debt Securities of such series to be immediately due and payable, the holders of
at least 33% in aggregate Liquidation Amount of the related series of Trust
Preferred Securities issued by such Trust then outstanding shall have the right
to make such declaration by notice in writing to the Company and the Trustee.
If an Event of Default due to default in the performance of any other of the
covenants or warranties herein applicable to all Outstanding Debt Securities or
an Event of Default specified in Section 801(d) or (e) shall have occurred and
be continuing, either the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 33% in
principal amount of all Debt Securities then Outstanding (considered as one
class), and not the Holders of the Debt Securities of any one of such series,
may declare the principal amount (or, if any of the Debt Securities are Discount
Debt Securities, such portion of the principal amount of such Debt Securities as
may be specified in the terms thereof as contemplated by Section 301) of all
Debt Securities and premium, if payment of any thereof be in default, and
interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in
writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by the Holders).  As a
consequence of each such declaration (herein referred to as a declaration of
acceleration) with respect to Debt Securities of any series, the principal
amount (or portion thereof in the case of Discount Debt Securities) of such Debt
Securities, premium, if any, and interest (including Additional Interest)
accrued thereon shall become due and payable immediately[ (provided that the
payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest (including Additional
Interest) on such Debt Securities shall remain subordinated to the extent
provided in Article XV hereof)].

          With respect to a series of Debt Securities to which a credit
enhancement is applicable, the applicable supplemental indenture may provide
that the provider of such credit enhancement may, if default has occurred and is
continuing with respect to such series, have all or any part of the rights with
respect to remedies that would otherwise have been exercisable by the Holders of
Debt Securities of that series.

                                      49
<PAGE>

          At any time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to
Debt Securities of any series shall have been made and before a judgment or
decree for payment of the money due shall have been obtained by the Trustee as
hereinafter in this Article provided, the Event or Events of Default giving rise
to such declaration of acceleration shall, without further act, be deemed to
have been waived, and such declaration and its consequences shall, without
further act, be deemed to have been rescinded and annulled, if

          (a)  the Company shall have paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum
     sufficient to pay

               (1) all overdue interest on all Debt Securities of such series;

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

               (3) any accrued Additional Interest on all Debt Securities of
          such series;

               (4) all amounts due to the Trustee under Section 907;

          and

          (b)  any other Event or Events of Default with respect to Debt
     Securities of such series, other than the non-payment of the principal of
     Debt Securities of such series which shall have become due solely by such
     declaration of acceleration, shall have been cured or waived as provided in
     Section 813.

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

Section 803. Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee.

          If an Event of Default described in clause (a) or (b) of Section 801
shall have occurred and be continuing, the Company shall, upon demand of the
Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders of the Debt Securities of the
series with respect to which such Event of Default shall have occurred, the
whole amount then due and payable on such Debt Securities for principal and
premium, if any, and interest, if any, and, to the extent permitted by law, (i)
interest on premium, if any, (ii) interest on any overdue principal and (iii)
Additional Interest, at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Debt
Securities, and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient
to cover any amounts due to the Trustee under Section 907.

          If the Company shall fail to pay such amounts forthwith upon such
demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may
institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and
unpaid, may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or

                                      50
<PAGE>

final decree and may enforce the same against the Company or any other obligor
upon such Debt Securities and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be
payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or any
other obligor upon such Debt Securities, wherever situated.

          If an Event of Default with respect to Debt Securities of any series
shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed
to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders of Debt
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 804. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

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

          (a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal,
     premium, if any, and interest (including Additional Interest), if any,
     owing and unpaid in respect of the Debt Securities and to file such other
     papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the
     claims of the Trustee (including any claim for amounts due to the Trustee
     under Section 907) and of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceeding,
     and

          (b) to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or
     deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same,

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or
other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by
each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the
Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to
pay to the Trustee any amounts due it under Section 907.

          Nothing herein contained 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 Debt
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.

Section 805. Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Debt Securities.

          All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Debt
Securities may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession
of any of the Debt 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 in respect of which such judgment has
been recovered.

Section 806. Application of Money Collected.

          [Subject to the provisions of Article XV,] any money collected by the
Trustee pursuant to this Article shall be applied in the following order, at the
date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such
money on account of principal or premium, if any, or interest (including
Additional Interest), if any, upon presentation of the Debt Securities in
respect of which or for the benefit of which such money shall have been
collected 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
     907;

          Second: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid upon the
     Debt Securities for principal of and premium, if any, and interest
     (including Additional Interest), if any, 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
     Debt Securities for principal, premium, if any, and interest (including
     Additional Interest), if any, respectively; and

          Third: To the payment of the remainder, if any, to the Company, or to
     whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of
     competent jurisdiction may direct.

Section 807. Limitation on Suits.

          No Holder 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:

          (a) such Holder shall have previously given written notice to the
     Trustee of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Debt
     Securities of such series;

          (b) the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal
     amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of all series in respect of which
     an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, considered as
     one class, 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;

                                      52
<PAGE>

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

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

          (e) no direction inconsistent with such written request shall have
     been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a
     majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities
     of all series in respect of which an Event of Default shall have occurred
     and be continuing, considered as one class;

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 808. Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal, Premium and
             Interest[; Direct Action by Holders of Trust Preferred Securities.]

          Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of
any Debt Security shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to
receive payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and (subject to Section
307[ and 312]) interest (including Additional Interest), if any, on such Debt
Security on the Stated Maturity or Maturities expressed in such Debt 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.  [In the case of Debt Securities of a series
originally issued to a Trust, any registered holder of the series of Trust
Preferred Securities issued by such Trust shall have the right, upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default described in Section 801(a) or 801(b), to
institute a suit directly against the Company for enforcement of payment to such
holder of principal of, premium, if any, and (subject to Sections 307 and 312)
interest  (including Additional Interest), if any, on the Debt Securities having
a principal amount equal to the aggregate Liquidation Amount of such Trust
Preferred Securities held by such holder.]

Section 809. Restoration of Rights and Remedies.

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

                                      53
<PAGE>

Section 810. Rights and Remedies Cumulative.

          Except as otherwise provided in the last paragraph of Section 306, no
right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the
Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every
right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in
addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter
existing at law or in equity or otherwise.  The assertion or employment of any
right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent
assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

Section 811. Delay or Omission Not Waiver.

          No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder [or any holder of
any Trust Preferred Security] 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[,and the right
and remedy given to the holders of Trust Preferred Securities by Section 808,]
may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by
the Trustee or by the Holders [or by the holders of Trust Preferred Securities],
as the case may be.

Section 812. Control by Holders of Debt Securities.

          If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing in
respect of a series of Debt Securities, the Holders of a majority in principal
amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of such 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 Debt Securities of such series; provided, however,
that if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing with respect
to more than one series of Debt Securities, the Holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of all such
series, considered as one class, shall have the right to make such direction,
and not the Holders of the Debt Securities of any one of such series; and
provided, further, that

          (a) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or
     with this Indenture, and could not involve the Trustee in personal
     liability in circumstances where indemnity would not in the Trustee's
     reasonable discretion be adequate, and

          (b) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee
     which is not inconsistent with such direction.

          Before proceeding to exercise any right or power hereunder at the
direction of such Holders, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive from such
Holders reasonable security or indemnity, against the costs, expenses and
liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with any such direction.

                                      54

Section 813.   Waiver of Past Defaults.

          The Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the
Outstanding Debt Securities of any series may on behalf of the Holders of all
the Debt Securities of such series [and, in the case of any Debt Securities of a
series initially issued to a Trust, the holders of a majority in aggregate
Liquidation Amount of the Trust Preferred Securities issued by such Trust may on
behalf of the holders of all the Trust Preferred Securities issued by such
Trust,] waive any past default hereunder with respect to such series and its
consequences, except a default

          (a)  in the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or
     interest (including Additional Interest), if any, on any Debt Security of
     such series, or

          (b)  in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Section
     1202 cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of
     each Outstanding Debt Security of such series affected.

          Upon any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist, and any and
all Events 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 814.   Undertaking for Costs.

          The Company and the Trustee agree, and each Holder by his acceptance
thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion
require, 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, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an
undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its
discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees,
against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and
good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the
provisions of this Section shall not apply to any suit instituted by the
Company, to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any
Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the aggregate more than 10% in aggregate
principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of all series in respect of
which such suit may be brought, considered as one class, or to any suit
instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of
or premium, if any, or interest (including Additional Interest), if any, on any
Debt Security on or after the Stated Maturity or Maturities expressed in such
Debt Security (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date).

Section 815.   Waiver of 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 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

                                      55
<PAGE>

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.

                                  ARTICLE IX

                                  The Trustee
                                  -----------

Section 901.   Certain Duties and Responsibilities.

          (a)  The Trustee shall have and be subject to all the duties and
     responsibilities specified with respect to an indenture trustee in the
     Trust Indenture Act, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read
     into this Indenture against the Trustee.  For purposes of Sections 315(a)
     and 315(c) of the Trust Indenture Act, the term "default" is hereby defined
     as an Event of Default which has occurred and is continuing.

          (b)  The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and
     after the curing or waiving of all Events of Default which may have
     occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are
     specifically set forth in this Indenture. In case an Event of Default of
     which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge has
     occurred (which has not been cured or waived), the Trustee shall exercise
     such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the
     same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would
     exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person's own
     affairs.

          (c)  No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the
     Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent
     failure to act or its own willful misconduct, except that prior to the
     occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing or waiving of all
     Events of Default which may have occurred

               (i)   the duties and obligations of the Trustee shall be
          determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture, and the
          Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties
          and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and
          no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture
          against the Trustee; and

               (ii)  in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee, the
          Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and
          the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any
          certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to
          the requirements of this Indenture; but, in the case of any such
          certificates or opinions that by any provision hereof are specifically
          required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a
          duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to
          the requirements of this Indenture.

                                      56
<PAGE>

          (d)  The Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in
     good faith by a Responsible Officer or Officers of the Trustee, unless it
     shall be proven that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the
     pertinent facts.

          (e)  The Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken
     or omitted to be taken by it in good faith, in accordance with the
     direction of the Holders of Debt Securities pursuant to Section 812,
     relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any
     remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred
     upon the Trustee, under this Indenture.

          (f)  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, satisfactory to the
     Trustee in its reasonable judgment, against such risk or liability is not
     reasonably assured to it.

          (g)  Notwithstanding anything contained in this Indenture to the
     contrary, the duties and responsibilities of the Trustee under this
     Indenture shall be subject to the protections, exculpations and limitations
     on liability afforded to the Trustee under the provisions of the Trust
     Indenture Act, including those provisions of such Act deemed by such Act to
     be included herein.

          (h)  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 902.   Notice of Defaults.

          The Trustee shall give the Holders notice of any default hereunder
with respect to the Debt Securities of any series to the Holders of Debt
Securities of such series of which it has knowledge (within the meaning of
Section 903(h) hereof) in the manner and to the extent required to do so by the
Trust Indenture Act, unless such default shall have been cured or waived;
provided, however, that in the case of any default of the character specified in
Section 801(c), no such notice to Holders shall be given until at least 60 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.

Section 903.   Certain Rights of Trustee.

          Subject to the provisions of Section 901 and to the applicable

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

          (d)  the Trustee may consult with counsel and the advice of such
     counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization
     and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it
     hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon;

          (e)  the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the
     rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or direction
     of any Holder pursuant to this Indenture, unless such Holder shall have

     expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with
     such request or direction;

          (f)  the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the
     facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement,
     instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order,
     bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or
     document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may 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 (subject to applicable legal requirements) be entitled to examine,
     during normal business hours, the books, records and premises of the
     Company, personally or by agent or attorney;

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

          (h)  the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any default or
     Event of Default with respect to the Debt Securities of any series for
     which it is acting as Trustee unless either (1) a Responsible Officer of
     the Trustee shall have actual knowledge of the default or Event of Default
     or (2) written notice of such default or Event of Default (which shall
     state that such notice is a "Notice of Default" or a "Notice of an Event of
     Default" hereunder, as the case may be) shall have been given to the

     Debt Securities.

Section 904.   Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Debt Securities.

          The recitals contained herein and in the Debt 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
responsibility for their correctness.  The Trustee makes no representations as
to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Debt Securities.
Neither the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent shall be accountable for the
use or application by the Company of Debt Securities or the proceeds thereof.

Section 905.   May Hold Debt Securities.

          Each of the Trustee, any Authenticating Agent, any Paying Agent, any
Debt Security Registrar or any other agent of the Company, in its individual or
any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Debt Securities and,

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

Section 906.   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 investment of any money received by it
hereunder except as expressly provided herein or otherwise agreed with, and for
the sole benefit of, the Company.

Section 907.   Compensation and Reimbursement.

          The Company shall

          (a)  pay to the Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation for
     all services rendered by it hereunder (which compensation shall not be
     limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee
     of an express trust);

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

          (c)  indemnify the Trustee and hold it harmless from and against any
     and all losses, demands, claims, liabilities, causes of action or expenses
     (including reasonable attorney's fees and expenses) incurred by it arising
     out of or in connection with the

                                      59
<PAGE>

     acceptance or administration of the trust or trusts hereunder or the
     performance of its duties hereunder (including the reasonable 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,
     except to the extent any such loss, demand, claim, liability, cause of
     action or expense may be attributable to its negligence, willful misconduct
     or bad faith) and assume the defense of the Trustee with counsel acceptable
     to the Trustee, unless the Trustee shall have been advised by counsel that
     there may be one or more legal defenses available to it which are different
     from or additional to those available to the Company[; and

          (d)  pay all debts and obligations (other than with respect to the
     Trust Preferred Securities and the Trust Common Securities) and all
     reasonable costs and expenses of any Trust to which Debt Securities are
     originally issued (including without limitation all reasonable costs and
     expenses relating to the organization of such Trust, the fees and expenses
     of the trustees and all costs and expenses relating to the operation of
     such Trust) and to pay any and all taxes, duties, assessments or
     governmental charges of whatever nature (other than withholding taxes)
     imposed on such Trust by the United States, or any taxing authority, so
     that the net amounts received and retained by such Trust and its Property
     Trustee after paying such expenses will be equal to the amounts such Trust
     and its Property Trustee would have received had no such costs or expenses
     been incurred by or imposed on such Trust; provided that (i) the foregoing
     obligations of the Company pursuant to this clause (d) are for the benefit
     of, and shall be enforceable by, any person to whom any such debts,
     obligations, costs, expenses and taxes are owed (each, a "Creditor")
     whether or not such Creditor has received notice thereof; (ii) any such
     Creditor may enforce such obligations directly against the Company, and the
     Company irrevocably waives any right or remedy to require that any such
     Creditor take any action against such Trust or any other person before
     proceeding against the Company; and (iii) the Company shall execute such
     additional agreements as may be necessary or desirable to give full effect
     to the foregoing].

          As security for the performance of the obligations of the Company
under this Section, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Debt Securities
upon all property and funds held or collected by the Trustee as such other than
property and funds held in trust under Section 703 (except as otherwise provided
in Section 703).  "Trustee" for purposes of this Section shall include any
predecessor Trustee; provided, however, that the negligence, willful misconduct
or bad faith of any Trustee hereunder shall not affect the rights of any other
Trustee hereunder.

          When a Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in connection with
an Event of Default specified in Section 801(d) or Section 801(e), the expenses
(including the reasonable charges and expenses of its counsel) and the
compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of
administration under any applicable Federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or
other similar law.

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

Section 908.   Disqualification; Conflicting Interests.

          If the Trustee shall have or acquire any conflicting interest within
the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act, it shall either eliminate such
conflicting interest or resign to the extent, in the manner and with the effect,
and subject to the conditions, provided in the Trust Indenture Act and this
Indenture.  For purposes of Section 310(b)(1) of the Trust Indenture Act and to
the extent permitted thereby, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have a
conflicting interest by virtue of being a Trustee under (i) this Indenture with
respect to Debt Securities of more than one series, (ii) the Indenture (For
[Subordinated] Debt Securities), dated as of _____________, 200_,  or (iii) the
Mortgage and Deed of Trust, dated as of May 1, 1940, as supplemented, or with
respect to the securities issued thereunder.  [Each Guarantee with respect to a
Trust shall be deemed to be sufficiently described in this Indenture for the
purposes of clause (i) of the first proviso contained in Section 310(b) of the
Trust Indenture Act.]

Section 909.   Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility.

          There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder which shall be

          (a)  a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the
     United States, any State or Territory thereof or the District of Columbia,
     authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a
     combined capital and surplus of at least $100,000,000 and subject to
     supervision or examination by Federal or State authority, or

          (b)  if and to the extent permitted by the Commission by rule,
     regulation or order upon application, a corporation or other Person
     organized and doing business under the laws of a foreign government,
     authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a
     combined capital and surplus of at least $100,000,000 or the Dollar
     equivalent of the applicable foreign currency and subject to supervision or
     examination by authority of such foreign government or a political
     subdivision thereof substantially equivalent to supervision or examination
     applicable to United States institutional trustees,

          and, in either case, qualified and eligible under this Article and the
Trust Indenture Act.  If such corporation publishes reports of condition at
least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of such supervising or
examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital
and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and
surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published.  If at
any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with
the effect hereinafter specified in this Article.

Section 910.   Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor.

          (a)  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 911.

                                      61
<PAGE>

          (b)  The Trustee may resign at any time with respect to the Debt
     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 911 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 Debt Securities of such series.

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

          (d)  If at any time:

               (1)  the Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 908 after
          written request therefor by the Company or by any Holder who has been
          a bona fide Holder for at least six months, or

               (2)  the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 909 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, (x) the Company by a Board Resolution may remove the
Trustee with respect to all Debt Securities or (y) subject to Section 814, any
Holder who has been a bona fide Holder 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 Debt Securities
and the appointment of a successor Trustee or Trustees.

          (e)  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
     (other than as contemplated in clause (y) in subsection (d) of this
     Section), with respect to the Debt Securities of one or more series, the
     Company, by a Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee
     or Trustees with respect to the Debt Securities of that or those series (it
     being understood that any such successor Trustee may be appointed with
     respect to the Debt 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 Debt
     Securities of any particular series) and shall comply with the applicable
     requirements of Section 911.  If, within one year after such resignation,
     removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor
     Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of any series shall be
     appointed by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the
     Outstanding Debt 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

                                      62
<PAGE>

     requirements of Section 911, become the successor Trustee with respect to
     the Debt Securities of such series and to that extent supersede the
     successor Trustee appointed by the Company.  If no successor Trustee with
     respect to the Debt Securities of any series shall have been so appointed
     by the Company or the Holders and accepted appointment in the manner
     required by Section 911, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a
     Debt Security of such series for at least six months may, on behalf of
     itself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent
     jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the
     Debt Securities of such series.

          (f)  So long as no event which is, or after notice or lapse of time,
     or both, would become, an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
     continuing, and except with respect to a Trustee appointed by Act of the
     Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Debt
     Securities pursuant to subsection (e) of this Section, if the Company shall
     have delivered to the Trustee (i) a Board Resolution appointing a successor
     Trustee, effective as of a date specified therein, and (ii) an instrument
     of acceptance of such appointment, effective as of such date, by such
     successor Trustee in accordance with Section 911, the Trustee shall be
     deemed to have resigned as contemplated in subsection (b) of this Section,
     the successor Trustee shall be deemed to have been appointed by the Company
     pursuant to subsection (e) of this Section and such appointment shall be
     deemed to have been accepted as contemplated in Section 911, all as of such
     date, and all other provisions of this Section and Section 911 shall be
     applicable to such resignation, appointment and acceptance except to the
     extent inconsistent with this subsection (f).

          (g)  The Company or, should the Company fail so to act promptly, the
     successor Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall give notice of each
     resignation and each removal of the Trustee with respect to the Debt
     Securities of any series and each appointment of a successor Trustee with
     respect to the Debt Securities of any series by mailing written notice of
     such event by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to all Holders of Debt
     Securities of such series as their names and addresses appear in the Debt
     Security Register.  Each notice shall include the name of the successor
     Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of such series and the address
     of its corporate trust office.

Section 911. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor.

          (a)  In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with
     respect to the Debt Securities of all series, 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 all sums
     owed to it, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such
     successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the

                                      63
<PAGE>

     retiring Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such
     successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee
     hereunder.

          (b)  In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with
     respect to the Debt Securities of one or more (but not all) series, the
     Company, the retiring Trustee and each successor Trustee with respect to
     the Debt 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 Debt 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 Debt 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 Debt 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 Debt
     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, upon payment of all sums owed to it, shall
     duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property
     and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder with respect to the Debt
     Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such
     successor Trustee relates.

          (c)  Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Company shall
     execute any instruments which fully vest in and confirm to such successor
     Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred to in subsection (a) or
     (b) of this Section, as the case may be.

          (d)  No successor Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the
     time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be qualified and

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 Debt 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 Debt Securities so authenticated
with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such
Debt Securities.

Section 913.  Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company.

          If the Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the Company or any
other obligor upon the Debt Securities (other than by reason of a relationship
described in Section 311(b) of the Trust Indenture Act), the Trustee shall be
subject to any and all applicable provisions of the Trust Indenture Act
regarding the collection of claims against the Company or such other obligor.
For purposes of Section 311(b) of the Trust Indenture Act:

          (a)  the term "cash transaction" means any transaction in which full
     payment for goods or securities sold is made within seven days after
     delivery of the goods or securities in currency or in checks or other
     orders drawn upon banks or bankers and payable upon demand;

          (b)  the term "self-liquidating paper" means any draft, bill of
     exchange, acceptance or obligation which is made, drawn, negotiated or
     incurred by the Company for the purpose of financing the purchase,
     processing, manufacturing, shipment, storage or sale of goods, wares or
     merchandise and which is secured by documents evidencing title to,
     possession of, or a lien upon, the goods, wares or merchandise or the
     receivables or proceeds arising from the sale of the goods, wares or
     merchandise previously constituting the security, provided the security is
     received by the Trustee simultaneously with the creation of the creditor
     relationship with the Company arising from the making, drawing, negotiating
     or incurring of the draft, bill of exchange, acceptance or obligation.

Section 914.  Co-trustees and Separate Trustees.

          At any time or times, for the purpose of meeting the legal
requirements of any applicable jurisdiction, the Company and the Trustee shall
have power to appoint, and, upon the written request of the Trustee or of the
Holders of at least thirty-three per centum (33%) in principal amount of the
Debt Securities then Outstanding, the Company shall for such purpose join with
the Trustee in the execution and delivery of all instruments and agreements
necessary or proper to appoint, one or more Persons approved by the Trustee
either to act as co-trustee, jointly with the Trustee, or to act as separate
trustee, in either case with such powers as may be provided in the instrument of
appointment, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in the capacity aforesaid,
any property, title, right or power deemed necessary or desirable, subject to
the other provisions of this Section.  If the Company does not join in such
appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request so to do, or if
an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee alone
shall have power to make such appointment.

                                      65
<PAGE>

          Should any written instrument or instruments from the Company be
required by any co-trustee or separate trustee so appointed to more fully
confirm to such co-trustee or separate trustee such property, title, right or
power, any and all such instruments shall, on request, be executed, acknowledged
and delivered by the Company.

          Every co-trustee or separate trustee shall, to the extent permitted by
law, but to such extent only, be appointed subject to the following conditions:

          (a)  the Debt Securities shall be authenticated and delivered, and all
     rights, powers, duties and obligations hereunder in respect of the custody
     of securities, cash and other personal property held by, or required to be
     deposited or pledged with, the Trustee hereunder, shall be exercised
     solely, by the Trustee;

          (b)  the rights, powers, duties and obligations hereby conferred or
     imposed upon the Trustee in respect of any property covered by such
     appointment shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed
     either by the Trustee or by the Trustee and such co-trustee or separate
     trustee jointly, as shall be provided in the instrument appointing such co-
     trustee or separate trustee, except to the extent that under any law of any
     jurisdiction in which any particular act is to be performed, the Trustee
     shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act, in which event
     such rights, powers, duties and obligations shall be exercised and
     performed by such co-trustee or separate trustee;

          (c)  the Trustee at any time, by an instrument in writing executed by
     it, with the concurrence of the Company, may accept the resignation of or
     remove any co-trustee or separate trustee appointed under this Section,
     and, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the
     Trustee shall have power to accept the resignation of, or remove, any such
     co-trustee or separate trustee without the concurrence of the Company.
     Upon the written request of the Trustee, the Company shall join with the
     Trustee in the execution and delivery of all instruments and agreements
     necessary or proper to effectuate such resignation or removal.  A successor
     to any co-trustee or separate trustee so resigned or removed may be
     appointed in the manner provided in this Section;

          (d)  no co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be personally
     liable by reason of any act or omission of the Trustee, or any other such
     trustee hereunder; and

          (e)  any Act of Holders delivered to the Trustee shall be deemed to
     have been delivered to each such co-trustee and separate trustee.

Section 915.   Appointment of Authenticating Agent.

          The Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents with respect
to the Debt Securities of one or more series, or any Tranche thereof, which
shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Debt
Securities of such series or Tranche issued upon original issuance, exchange,
registration of transfer or partial redemption thereof or pursuant to Section
306, and Debt Securities so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of
this

                                      66
<PAGE>

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 Debt 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, any State or territory thereof or the
District of Columbia or the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, 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 the corporate agency or
corporate trust business of an Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be an
Authenticating Agent, provided such corporation shall be otherwise eligible
under this Section, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further
act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent.

          An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving 45 days
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.  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.

          The provisions of Sections 308, 904 and 905 shall be applicable to
each Authenticating Agent.

          If an appointment with respect to the Debt Securities of one or more
series, or any Tranche thereof, shall be made pursuant to this Section, the Debt
Securities of such series or Tranche may have endorsed thereon, in addition to
the Trustee's certificate of authentication, an alternate certificate of
authentication substantially in the following form:

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

Dated:___________________________

                                         By___________________________
                                              As Trustee

                                              As Authenticating Agent

                                              Authorized Signatory

          If all of the Debt Securities of a series may not be originally issued
at one time, and if the Trustee does not have an office capable of
authenticating Debt Securities upon original issuance located in a Place of
Payment where the Company wishes to have Debt Securities of such series
authenticated upon original issuance, the Trustee, if so requested by the
Company in writing (which writing need not comply with Section 102 and need not
be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel), shall appoint, in accordance with this
Section and in accordance with such procedures as shall be acceptable to the
Trustee, an Authenticating Agent having an office in a Place of Payment
designated by the Company with respect to such series of Debt Securities.

Securities issued by a Trust provided therein without the prior consent of the
holders of each such Trust Preferred Security then outstanding unless and until
the

                                      73
<PAGE>

principal of (and premium, if any, on) the Debt Securities of such series and
all accrued and (subject to Section 307) unpaid interest (including any
Additional Interest) thereon have been paid in full or provision therefor shall
have been made in accordance with Article VII.

          A supplemental indenture that changes or eliminates any covenant or
other provision of this Indenture that has expressly been included solely for
the benefit of one or more particular series of Debt Securities, or of one or
more Tranches thereof, [or any corresponding series of Trust Preferred
Securities of a Trust that holds the Debt Securities of any series, ]or that
modifies the rights of the Holders of Debt Securities of such series or Tranches
[or holders of such Trust Preferred Securities of such corresponding series
]with respect to such covenant or other provision, shall be deemed not to affect
the rights under this Indenture of the Holders of Debt Securities of any other
series or Tranche [or holders of Trust Preferred Securities of any other such
corresponding series].

          Upon the request of the Company, accompanied by a copy of the Board
Resolution authorizing the execution of any such supplemental indenture,
compliance by the Company with Section 1203 hereof, and the filing with the
Trustee of evidence of the consent of the Holders of the Debt Securities
required hereunder with respect to the proposed supplemental indenture, the
Trustee shall join with the Company in the execution of such supplemental
indenture unless the supplemental indenture affects the Trustee's own rights,
duties or immunities under this Indenture, or otherwise, in which case the
Trustee may in its discretion but shall not be obligated to enter into such
supplemental indenture.

          It shall not be necessary for 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.  A waiver by a
Holder of such Holder's right to consent under this Section shall be deemed to
be a consent of such Holder.

Section 1203.  Execution of Supplemental Indentures.

          In executing, or accepting the additional trusts created by, any
supplemental indenture permitted by this Article or the modifications thereby of
the trusts created by this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive,
and (subject to Section 901) shall be fully protected in relying upon an Opinion
of Counsel stating that the execution of such supplemental indenture is
authorized or permitted by this Indenture.

Section 1204.  Effect of Supplemental Indentures.

          Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture under this Article
this Indenture shall be modified in accordance therewith, and such supplemental
indenture shall form a part of this Indenture for all purposes; and every Holder
of Debt Securities theretofore or thereafter authenticated and delivered
hereunder shall be bound thereby.  Any supplemental indenture permitted by this
Article may restate this Indenture in its entirety, and, upon the execution and
delivery thereof, any such restatement shall supersede this Indenture as
theretofore in effect for all purposes.

Section 1205.  Conformity With Trust Indenture Act.

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

Section 1206.  Reference in Debt Securities to Supplemental Indentures.

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

Section 1207.  Modification Without Supplemental Indenture.

          If the terms of any particular series of Debt Securities shall have
been established in a Board Resolution or an Officer's Certificate pursuant to a
Board Resolution as contemplated by Section 301, and not in an indenture
supplemental hereto, additions to, changes in or the elimination of any of such
terms may be effected by means of a supplemental Board Resolution or Officer's
Certificate, as the case may be, delivered to, and accepted by, the Trustee;
provided, however, that such supplemental Board Resolution or Officer's
Certificate shall not be accepted by the Trustee or otherwise be effective
unless all conditions set forth in this Indenture which would be required to be
satisfied if such additions, changes or elimination were contained in a
supplemental indenture shall have been appropriately satisfied.  Upon the
acceptance thereof by the Trustee, any such supplemental Board Resolution or
Officer's Certificate shall be deemed to be a "supplemental indenture" for
purposes of Section 1204 and 1206.

Section 1304.  Quorum; Action.

          The Persons entitled to vote a majority in aggregate principal amount
of the Outstanding Debt Securities of the series and Tranches with respect to
which a meeting shall have been called as hereinbefore provided, considered as
one class, shall constitute a quorum for a meeting of Holders of Debt Securities
of such series and Tranches; provided, however, that if any action is to be
taken at such meeting which this Indenture expressly provides may be taken by
the Holders of a specified percentage, which is less than a majority, in
principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of such series and Tranches,
considered as one class, the Persons entitled to vote such specified percentage
in principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of such series and
Tranches, considered as one class, shall constitute a quorum. In the absence of
a quorum within one hour of the time appointed for any such meeting, the meeting
shall, if convened at the request of Holders of Debt Securities of such series
and Tranches, be dissolved. In any other case the meeting may be adjourned for
such period as may be determined by the chairman of the meeting prior to the
adjournment of such meeting. In the absence of a quorum at any such adjourned
meeting, such adjourned meeting may be further adjourned for such period as may
be determined by the chairman of the meeting prior to the adjournment of such
adjourned meeting. Except as provided by Section 1305(e), notice of the
reconvening of any meeting adjourned for more than 30 days shall be given as
provided in Section 1302(a) not less than ten days prior to the date on which
the meeting is scheduled to be reconvened. Notice of the reconvening of an
adjourned meeting shall state expressly the percentage, as provided above, of
the principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of such series and
Tranches which shall constitute a quorum.

          Except as limited by Section 1202, any resolution presented to a
meeting or adjourned meeting duly reconvened at which a quorum is present as
aforesaid may be adopted only by the affirmative vote of the Holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of the
series and Tranches with respect to which such meeting shall have been called,
considered as one class; provided, however, that, except as so limited, any
resolution with respect to any action which this Indenture expressly provides
may be taken by the Holders of a specified percentage, which is less than a
majority, in principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of such series
and Tranches, considered as one class, may be adopted at a meeting or an
adjourned meeting duly reconvened and at which a quorum is present as aforesaid
by the affirmative vote of the Holders of such specified percentage in principal
amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of such series and Tranches,
considered as one class.

          Any resolution passed or decision taken at any meeting of Holders of
Debt Securities duly held in accordance with this Section shall be binding on
all the Holders of Debt Securities of the series and Tranches with respect to
which such meeting shall have been held, whether or not present or represented
at the meeting.

Section 1305.  Attendance at Meetings; Determination of Voting Rights; Conduct
               and Adjournment of Meetings.

          (a)    Attendance at meetings of Holders of Debt Securities may be in
     person or by proxy; and, to the extent permitted by law, any such proxy
     shall remain in effect and be binding upon any future Holder of the Debt
     Securities with respect to which it was given unless and until specifically
     revoked by the Holder or future Holder of such Debt Securities before being
     voted.

          (b)    Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, the
     Trustee may make such reasonable regulations as it may deem advisable for
     any meeting of Holders of Debt Securities in regard to proof of the holding
     of such Debt Securities and of the appointment of proxies and in regard to
     the appointment and duties of inspectors of votes, the submission and
     examination of proxies, certificates and other evidence of the right to
     vote, and such other matters concerning the conduct of the meeting as it
     shall deem appropriate. Except as otherwise permitted or required by any
     such regulations, the holding of Debt Securities shall be proved in the
     manner specified in Section 104 and the appointment of any proxy shall be
     proved in the manner specified in Section 104. Such regulations may provide
     that written instruments appointing proxies, regular on their face, may be
     presumed valid and genuine without the proof specified in Section 104 or
     other proof.

          (c)    The Trustee shall, by an instrument in writing, appoint a
     temporary chairman of the meeting, unless the meeting shall have been
     called by the Company or by Holders as provided in Section 1302(b), in
     which case the Company or the Holders of Debt Securities of the series and
     Tranches calling the meeting, as the case may be, shall in like manner
     appoint a temporary chairman. A permanent chairman and a permanent
     secretary of the meeting shall be elected by vote of the Persons entitled
     to vote a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Debt
     Securities of all series and Tranches represented at the meeting,
     considered as one class.

          (d)    At any meeting each Holder or proxy shall be entitled to one
     vote for each $1 principal amount of Debt Securities held or represented by
     him; provided, however, that no vote shall be cast or counted at any
     meeting in respect of any Debt Security challenged as not Outstanding and
     ruled by the chairman of the meeting to be not Outstanding. The chairman of
     the meeting shall have no right to vote, except as a Holder of a Debt
     Security or proxy.

          (e)    Any meeting duly called pursuant to Section 1302 at which a
     quorum is present may be adjourned from time to time by Persons entitled to
     vote a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Debt
     Securities of all series and Tranches represented at the meeting,
     considered as one class; and the meeting may be held as so adjourned
     without further notice.

          The vote upon any resolution submitted to any meeting of Holders shall
be by written ballots on which shall be subscribed the signatures of the Holders
or of their representatives by proxy and the principal amounts and serial
numbers of the Outstanding Debt Securities, of the series and Tranches with
respect to which the meeting shall have been called, held or represented by
them. The permanent chairman of the meeting shall appoint two inspectors of
votes who shall count all votes cast at the meeting for or against any
resolution and who shall make and file with the secretary of the meeting their
verified written reports of all votes cast at the meeting. A record of the
proceedings of each meeting of Holders shall be prepared by the secretary of the
meeting and there shall be attached to said record the original reports of the
inspectors of votes on any vote by ballot taken thereat and affidavits by one or
more persons having knowledge of the facts setting forth a copy of the notice of
the meeting and showing that said notice was given as provided in Section 1302
and, if applicable, Section 1304. Each copy shall be signed and verified by the
affidavits of the permanent chairman and secretary of the meeting and one such
copy shall be delivered to the Company, and another to the Trustee to be
preserved by the Trustee, the latter to have attached thereto the ballots voted
at the meeting. Any record so signed and verified shall be conclusive evidence
of the matters therein stated.

Section 1307.  Action Without Meeting.

          In lieu of a vote of Holders at a meeting as hereinbefore contemplated
in this Article, any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent,
waiver or other action may be made, given or taken by Holders by written
instruments as provided in Section 104.

        Immunity of Incorporators, Stockholders, Officers and Directors
        ---------------------------------------------------------------

Section 1401.  Liability Solely Corporate.

          No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of or
premium, if any, or interest (including Additional Interest), if any, on any
Debt Securities, or any part thereof, or for any claim based thereon or
otherwise in respect thereof, or of the indebtedness represented thereby, or
upon any obligation, covenant or agreement under this Indenture, against any
incorporator, stockholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or future
of the Company or of any predecessor or successor corporation (either directly
or through the Company or a predecessor or successor corporation), whether by
virtue of any constitutional provision, statute or rule of law, or by the
enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise; it being expressly agreed
and understood that this Indenture and all the Debt Securities are solely
corporate obligations, and that no personal liability whatsoever shall attach
to, or be incurred by, any incorporator, stockholder, officer or director, past,
present or future, of the Company or of any predecessor or successor
corporation, either directly or indirectly through the Company or any
predecessor or successor corporation, because of the indebtedness hereby
authorized or under or by reason of any of the obligations, covenants or
agreements contained in this Indenture

                                      79
<PAGE>

or in any of the Debt Securities or to be implied herefrom or therefrom, and
that any such personal liability is hereby expressly waived and released as a
condition of, and as part of the consideration for, the execution of this
Indenture and the issuance of the Debt Securities.

                                  [ARTICLE XV

                          Subordination of Securities
                          ---------------------------

Section 1501.  Securities Subordinate to Senior Indebtedness.

          The Company, for itself, its successors and assigns, covenants and
agrees, and each Holder of the Debt Securities of each series, by its acceptance
thereof, likewise covenants and agrees, that the payment of the principal of and
premium, if any, and interest (including Additional Interest), if any, on each
and all of the Debt Securities is hereby expressly subordinated, to the extent
and in the manner set forth in this Article, in right of payment to the prior
payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness.

          Each Holder of the Debt Securities of each series, by its acceptance
thereof, authorizes and directs the Trustee on its behalf to take such action as
may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination as provided in
this Article, and appoints the Trustee its attorney-in-fact for any and all such
purposes.

          Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, nothing contained in
this Article shall restrict the right of the Trustee or the Holders of
Securities to take any action to declare the Debt Securities to be due and
payable prior to their stated maturity pursuant to Section 802 or to pursue any
rights or remedies hereunder; provided, however, that all Senior Indebtedness
then due and payable shall first be paid in full before the Holders of the Debt
Securities or the Trustee are entitled to receive any direct or indirect payment
from the Company of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest (including any
Additional Interest) on the Debt Securities.

Section 1502.  Payment Over of Proceeds of Securities.

          In the event (a) of any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings or any
receivership, liquidation, reorganization or other similar proceedings in
respect of the Company or a substantial part of its property, or of any
proceedings for liquidation, dissolution or other winding up of the Company,
whether or not involving insolvency or bankruptcy, whether voluntary or
involuntary or (b) subject to the provisions of Section 1503, that (i) a default
shall have occurred with respect to the payment of principal of or interest
(including Additional Interest) on or other monetary amounts due and payable on
any Senior Indebtedness, or (ii) there shall have occurred a default (other than
a default in the payment of principal or interest (including Additional
Interest) or other monetary amounts due and payable) in respect of any Senior
Indebtedness, as defined therein or in the instrument under which the same is
outstanding, permitting the holder or holders thereof to accelerate the maturity
thereof (with notice or lapse of time, or both), and such default shall have
continued beyond the period of grace, if any, in respect thereof, and, in the
cases of subclauses (i) and (ii) of this clause (b), such default shall not have
been cured or waived

                                      80
<PAGE>

or shall not have ceased to exist, or (c) that the principal of and accrued
interest (including Additional Interest) on the Debt Securities of any series
shall have been declared due and payable pursuant to Section 801 and such
declaration shall not have been rescinded and annulled as provided in Section
802, then:

                 (1)     the holders of all Senior Indebtedness shall first be
          entitled to receive payment of the full amount due thereon, or
          provision shall be made for such payment in money or money's worth,
          before the Holders of any of the Debt Securities are entitled to
          receive a payment on account of the principal of or interest
          (including any Additional Interest) on the indebtedness evidenced by
          the Debt Securities, including, without limitation, any payments made
          pursuant to Articles IV and V;

                 (2)     any payment by, or distribution of assets of, the
          Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or
          securities, to which any Holder or the Trustee would be entitled
          except for the provisions of this Article, shall be paid or delivered
          by the person making such payment or distribution, whether a trustee
          in bankruptcy, a receiver or liquidating trustee or otherwise,
          directly to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness or their
          representative or representatives or to the trustee or trustees under
          any indenture under which any instruments evidencing any of such
          Senior Indebtedness may have been issued, ratably according to the
          aggregate amounts remaining unpaid on account of such Senior
          Indebtedness held or represented by each, to the extent necessary to
          make payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid after
          giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution (or provision
          therefor) to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness, before any
          payment or distribution is made to the Holder of the indebtedness
          evidenced by the Debt Securities or to the Trustee under this
          Indenture; and

                 (3)     in the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any
          payment by, or distribution of assets of, the Company of any kind or
          character, whether in cash, property or securities, in respect of
          principal of or interest (including Additional Interest) on the Debt
          Securities or in connection with any repurchase by the Company of the
          Debt Securities, shall be received by the Trustee or any Holder before
          all Senior Indebtedness is paid in full, or provision is made for such
          payment in money or money's worth, such payment or distribution in
          respect of principal of or interest (including Additional Interest) on
          the Debt Securities or in connection with any repurchase by the
          Company of the Debt Securities shall be paid over to the holders of
          such Senior Indebtedness or their representative or representatives or
          to the trustee or trustees under any indenture under which any
          instruments evidencing any such Senior Indebtedness may have been
          issued, ratably as aforesaid, for application to the payment of all
          Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid until all such Senior
          Indebtedness shall have been paid in full, after giving effect to any
          concurrent payment or distribution (or provision therefor) to the
          holders of such Senior Indebtedness.

          Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time after the 123/rd/ day
following the date of deposit of cash or Eligible Obligations pursuant to
Section 701 (provided all conditions set out in such Section shall have been
satisfied), the funds so deposited and any interest (including Additional
Interest) thereon will not be subject to any rights of holders of Senior
Indebtedness including, without limitation, those arising under this Article;
provided that no event described in clauses (d) and (e) of Section 801 with
respect to the Company has occurred during such 123-day period.

          For purposes of this Article only, the words "cash, property or
securities" shall not be deemed to include shares of stock of the Company as
reorganized or readjusted, or securities of the Company or any other corporation
provided for by a plan or reorganization or readjustment which are subordinate
in right of payment to all Senior Indebtedness which may at the time be
outstanding to the same extent as, or to a greater extent than, the Debt
Securities are so subordinated as provided in this Article. 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 XI hereof
shall not be deemed a dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization for
the purposes of this Section 1502 if such other corporation shall, as a part of
such consolidation, merger, conveyance or transfer, comply with the conditions
stated in Article XI hereof. Nothing in Section 1501 or in this Section 1502
shall apply to claims of, or payments to, the Trustee under or pursuant to
Section 907.

Section 1503.  Disputes with Holders of Certain Senior Indebtedness.

          Any failure by the Company to make any payment on or perform any other
obligation in respect of Senior Indebtedness, other than any indebtedness
incurred by the Company or assumed or guaranteed, directly or indirectly, by the
Company for money borrowed (or any deferral, renewal, extension or refunding
thereof) or any other obligation as to which the provisions of this Section
shall have been waived by the Company in the instrument or instruments by which
the Company incurred, assumed, guaranteed or otherwise created such indebtedness
or obligation, shall not be deemed a default under clause (b) of Section 1502 if
(i) the Company shall be disputing its obligation to make such payment or
perform such obligation and (ii) either (A) no final judgment relating to such
dispute shall have been issued against the Company which is in full force and
effect and is not subject to further review, including a judgment that has
become final by reason of the expiration of the time within which a party may
seek further appeal or review, or (B) in the event that a judgment that is
subject to further review or appeal has been issued, the Company shall in good
faith be prosecuting an appeal or other proceeding for review and a stay or
execution shall have been obtained pending such appeal or review.

Section 1504.  Subrogation.

          Senior Indebtedness shall not be deemed to have been paid in full
unless the holders thereof shall have received cash (or securities or other
property satisfactory to such

holders) in full payment of such Senior Indebtedness then outstanding. Upon the
payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness, the Holders of the Debt Securities
shall be subrogated to the rights of the holders of Senior Indebtedness to
receive any further payments or distributions of cash, property or securities of
the Company applicable to the holders of the Senior Indebtedness until all
amounts owing on the Debt Securities shall be paid in full; and such payments or
distributions of cash, property or securities received by the Holders of the
Debt Securities, by reason of such subrogation, which otherwise would be paid or
distributed to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness shall, as between the
Company, its creditors other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness, and the
Holders, be deemed to be a payment by the Company to or on account of Senior
Indebtedness, it being understood that the provisions of this Article are and
are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the
Holders, on the one hand, and the holders of the Senior Indebtedness, on the
other hand.

          If any payment or distribution to which the Holders of the Debt
Securities would otherwise have been entitled but for the provisions of this
Article shall have been applied, pursuant to the provisions of this Article, to
the payment of all amounts payable under Senior Indebtedness, then and in such
case, the Holders of the Debt Securities shall be entitled to receive from the
holders of such Senior Indebtedness any payments or distributions received by
such holders of Senior Indebtedness in excess of the amount required to make
payment in full, or provision for payment, of such Senior Indebtedness.

Section 1505.  Obligation of the Company Unconditional.

          Nothing contained in this Article or elsewhere in this Indenture or in
the Debt Securities is intended to or shall impair, as among the Company, its
creditors other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness and the Holders, the
obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay to the
Holders the principal of and interest (including Additional Interest) on the
Debt 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 and creditors of the Company other than the holders of Senior
Indebtedness, nor shall anything herein or therein prevent the Trustee or any
Holder [(or to the extent expressly provided herein, the holder of any Trust
Preferred Security)]from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by
applicable law upon default under this Indenture, subject to the rights, if any,
under this Article of the holders of Senior Indebtedness in respect of cash,
property or securities of the Company received upon the exercise of any such
remedy.

          Upon any payment or distribution of assets or securities of the
Company referred to in this Article, the Trustee and the Holders shall be
entitled to rely upon any order or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction
in which such bankruptcy, dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization
proceedings are pending or upon a certificate of the receiver, trustee in
bankruptcy, liquidating trustee agent or other person making such payment or
distribution delivered to the Trustee or to the Holders for the purpose of
ascertaining the persons entitled to participate in such distribution, the
holders of the Senior Indebtedness and other indebtedness of the Company, the
amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed
thereon, and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article.

Section 1506.  Priority of Senior Indebtedness Upon Maturity.

          Upon the maturity of the principal of any Senior Indebtedness by lapse
of time, acceleration or otherwise, all matured principal of Senior Indebtedness
and interest (including Additional Interest) and premium, if any, thereon shall
first be paid in full before any payment of principal or premium or interest
(including Additional Interest), if any, is made upon the Debt Securities or
before any Debt Securities can be acquired by the Company or any sinking fund
payment is made with respect to the Debt Securities (except that required
sinking fund payments may be reduced by Debt Securities acquired before such
maturity of such Senior Indebtedness).

Section 1507.  Trustee as Holder of Senior Indebtedness.

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

Section 1508.  Notice to Trustee to Effectuate Subordination.

          The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any
fact known to the Company that would prohibit the making of any payment to or by
the Trustee in respect of the Debt Securities pursuant to the provisions of this
Article. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article or any other provision
of the Indenture, the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of the
existence of any facts which would prohibit the making of any payment of moneys
to or by the Trustee unless and until the Trustee shall have received written
notice thereof from the Company, from a Holder or from a holder of any Senior
Indebtedness or from any representative or representatives of such holder and,
prior to the receipt of any such written notice, the Trustee shall be entitled,
subject to Section 901, in all respects to assume that no such facts exist;
provided, however, that, if prior to the fifth Business Day preceding the date
upon which by the terms hereof any such moneys may become payable for any
purpose, or in the event of the execution of an instrument pursuant to Section
702 acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, then if prior to
the second Business Day preceding the date of such execution, the Trustee shall
not have received with respect to such moneys the notice provided for in this
Section, then, anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, the
Trustee may, in its discretion, receive such moneys and/or apply the same to the
purpose for which they were received, and shall not be affected by any notice to
the contrary, which may be received by it on or after such date; provided,
however, that no such application shall affect the obligations under this
Article of the persons receiving such moneys from the Trustee.

Section 1509.  Modification, Extension, etc. of Senior Indebtedness.

          The holders of Senior Indebtedness may, without affecting in any
manner the subordination of the payment of the principal of and premium, if any,
and interest (including Additional Interest), if any, on the Debt Securities, at
any time or from time to time and in their absolute discretion, agree with the
Company to change the manner, place or terms of payment, change or extend the
time of payment of, or renew or alter, any Senior Indebtedness, or amend or
supplement any instrument pursuant to which any Senior Indebtedness is issued,
or exercise or

                                      84

refrain from exercising any other of their rights under the Senior Indebtedness
including, without limitation, the waiver of default thereunder, all without
notice to or assent from the Holders or the Trustee.

Section 1510.  Trustee Has No Fiduciary Duty to Holders of Senior Indebtedness.

          With respect to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, the Trustee
undertakes to perform or to observe only such of its covenants and objectives as
are specifically set forth in this Article, and no implied covenants or
obligations with respect to the holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be read
into this Indenture against the Trustee. The Trustee shall not be deemed to owe
any fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, and shall not be
liable to any such holders if it shall mistakenly pay over or deliver to the
Holders or the Company or any other Person, cash, property or securities to
which any holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled by virtue of this
Article or otherwise.

Section 1511.  Paying Agents Other than the Trustee.

          In case at any time any Paying Agent other than the Trustee shall have
been appointed by the Company and be then acting hereunder, the term "Trustee"
as used in this Article shall in such case (unless the context shall otherwise
require) be construed as extending to and including such Paying Agent within its
meaning as fully for all intents and purposes as if such Paying Agent were named
in this Article in addition to or in place of the Trustee; provided, however,
that Sections 1507, 1508 and 1510 shall not apply to the Company if it acts as
Paying Agent.

Section 1512.  Rights of Holders of Senior Indebtedness Not Impaired.

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

Section 1513.  This Article Not to Prevent Events of Default.

          The failure to make a payment on account of principal of, or premium,
if any, or interest (including Additional Interest) on the Debt Securities by
reason of any provision of this Article shall not be construed as preventing the
occurrence of an Event of Default specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of Section
801.

Section 1514.  Effect of Subordination Provisions; Termination.

          Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, other than
as provided in the immediately succeeding sentence, all the provisions of this
Indenture shall be subject to the provisions of this Article, so far as the same
may be applicable thereto.

                                      85
<PAGE>

          Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the
provisions of this Article XV shall be of no further effect, and the Debt
Securities shall no longer be subordinated in right of payment to the prior
payment of Senior Indebtedness, if the Company shall have delivered to the
Trustee a notice to such effect.  Any such notice delivered by the Company shall
not be deemed to be a supplemental indenture for purposes of Article XII.]

          This instrument may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of
