                     all opportunities of selling the Product and more generally
                     to report on the needs of the local customers, prevailing
                     prices, products distributed by competitors and on whatever
                     may be relevant to the development of Biopure's sales
                     within the Territory.

                     necessary assistance in establishing contacts with the
                     appropriate organizations and customers in the Territory.

              Agreement.

              respect to any claims by other persons who allege injury or loss
              as a result of Abazali's activities in violation of its covenants
              under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
              this Agreement, in no event shall Abazali be liable to Biopure for
              any incidental, indirect, exemplary, special or consequential
              damages whatsoever (including, but not limited to, lost profits,
              loss of goodwill, or interruption of business) that may be
              suffered or incurred by Biopure as a results of Abazali's
              violation of its covenants under this Agreement.

       3.7    TRADEMARKS AND TRADE NAMES.

              3.7.1  Abazali shall use Biopure's trademarks or trade names only
                     to identify and advertise the Products and shall not use
                     said trademarks or trade names as part of Abazali's own
                     name or trademarks or in any other manner.

              3.7.2  It is understood and agreed that this right to use
                     Biopure's trademarks and trade names is revocable at will
                     by Biopure and does not constitute, in any manner, a direct
                     or implied license or assignment of such trademarks or
                     trade names.

              3.7.3  Upon the expiration or termination of the Agreement for any
                     reason whatsoever, Abazali shall immediately cease using
                     Biopure's trademarks and trade name and shall return to
                     Biopure all promotional and advertising material carrying
                     Biopure's name or trademarks.

       3.8    PROMOTIONAL MATERIAL. Abazali shall use solely advertising and
              promotional material approved by Biopure. Abazali undertakes that
              it will submit to Biopure or its designee for prior written
              approval all written materials which Abazali proposes to use for

              Products.

       3.9    Marketing Plan. The parties shall agree annually upon a marketing
              plan for sales of the Product. The marketing plan will take into
              account needs in the Territory, past experience, Biopure's
              manufacturing capacity and other information deemed relevant. The
              first marketing plan shall be for the 6-month period beginning six
              months from the effective date of this Agreement. In preparing the
              first marketing plan the parties will review the first six months
              of experience under this Agreement. At the same time the parties
              will prepare a marketing plan for the subsequent six months, i.e.,
              the six months beginning on the first anniversary of this
              Agreement. (It is understood that all dates may be adjusted for
              convenience to begin on the first day of a month.) Thereafter,
              prior to the end of the second six-months marketing plan and prior
              to the end of each year of this Agreement, the parties will agree
              upon a business plan for the 12 months beginning on the day after
              the last day of the previous marketing plan. Marketing plans will
              be detailed by month.

4      BIOPURE'S DUTIES.

       4.1    REMUNERATION OF ABAZALI.

              4.1.1  In respect of all orders from customers within the
                     Territory accepted by Biopure during the term of this
                     Agreement, Abazali shall receive a payment of:

                     [**] per unit for the first 500 units sold;

                     [**] per unit above 500 units sold and up to 1000 units
                     sold;

                     [**] per unit above 1000 units sold.

                     The foregoing amounts will be subject to adjustment in the
                     event of a change in the "Single Exit Price" for the
                     Product. No amounts shall be owing in respect of orders
                     placed prior to the start of sales activities by the two
                     individuals hired and trained pursuant to Section 3.1.1.

              4.1.2  A fixed amount of [**] (excluding VAT) per month for the

              4.1.3  Biopure will be responsible for all agreed upon costs for
                     all activities set forth in Appendix C.

              4.1.4  All amounts owing to Abazali shall be invoiced on a monthly
                     basis. Notwithstanding the above, it is specified that the
                     amounts shall only be considered to be earned by Abazali
                     when full and unconditional payment has reached Biopure.

              4.1.5  Upon expiry or termination of this Agreement, Biopure shall
                     be obligated to pay amounts to Abazali in respect of
                     amounts accepted by Biopure prior to the effective date of
                     termination.

       4.2    CATALOGUES AND INFORMATION. Biopure will provide Abazali with such
              information, catalogues, promotional material and documentation,
              as Biopure shall from time to time consider necessary. The
              aforesaid material shall be used solely for the purpose of
              soliciting sales of the Products and shall remain the property of
              Biopure. Abazali shall return or dispose of it in accordance with
              Biopure's written instructions.

       4.3    BIOPURE'S INDEMNITY. Biopure shall hold Abazali harmless with
              respect to any claims by other persons who allege injury or loss
              as a result of Biopure's manufacture and delivery of the Products
              in violation of its covenants under this Agreement.

5      TERM OF AGREEMENT

       5.1    TERM OF AGREEMENT. Subject to the provisions contained herein
              which provide for earlier termination, this Agreement shall
              commence on November 1, 2005 and shall continue in full force and
              effect until December 31, 2009 ("Expiry Date"). The Agreement
              shall automatically extend for periods of one (1) additional year
              unless

                                       7

              either of the parties gives written notice to the other party of
              its intention not to renew at least sixty (60) days prior to the
              Expiry Date or the then current term. Upon expiry of this
              Agreement, neither party shall owe to the other any damages, or
              indemnification resulting from such expiry.

       5.2    BREACH OF AGREEMENT. The foregoing notwithstanding, if either
              Abazali or Biopure breaches any of the terms and conditions of
              this Agreement, the other party may give notice of the breach to
              the party in default. If the defaulting party does not rectify the
              breach within thirty (30) days after receipt of the notice, the
              party who gave notice may terminate this Agreement upon the
              expiration of the thirty (30) days period without prejudice to
              such party's claims for damages, or indemnification for the losses
              incurred by reason of such termination or breach of the Agreement.
              Failure of the parties to agree on a marketing plan, as described
              in Section 3.9, shall give either party the right to terminate
              this Agreement with 60 days written notice. A failure by Abazali
              to meet the marketing plan(s) as in effect for any consecutive 12
              months shall be deemed to be a breach of the terms and conditions
              of this Agreement by Abazali.

       5.3    INSOLVENCY OF A PARTY. In the event either party becomes the
              subject of proceedings involving bankruptcy, insolvency,
              moratorium of payment, reorganization or liquidation, or if either
              party makes any assignment for the benefit of its creditors, then
              this Agreement may be terminated forthwith by the other party by
              written notice, without prejudice to its claims for damages, or
              indemnification for losses incurred by reason of such termination.

       5.4    CHANGE IN ABAZALI'S OWNERSHIP.

              5.4.1  Abazali shall report promptly to Biopure all changes in the
                     legal or beneficial ownership of Abazali. If Biopure
                     reasonably believes that such change is prejudicial to
                     Biopure's interests or to the proper and efficient
                     marketing of the Product, Biopure may terminate this
                     Agreement by giving thirty (30) days prior written notice
                     within thirty (30) days from the day it is informed of the

              of the lawful duty of such official; (iii) securing any improper
              advantage; or (iv) inducing such government official to use his
              influence with the government or instrumentality thereof to affect
              or influence any act or decision of the government or such
              instrumentality with respect to any activities undertaken relating
              to this Agreement.

              to insist upon strict performance of any of the terms and
              conditions of this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver or

waiver or other action provided or permitted by this Indenture to be given, made
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 agent duly
appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such
action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered
to the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Company. Such
instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced
thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the "Act" of the Holders signing
such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of
a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this
Indenture and (subject to Section 601) conclusive in favor of the Trustee and
the Company, if made in the manner provided in this Section.

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

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

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

          (e) The Company may set any day as a record date for the purpose of
determining the Holders of Outstanding Securities of any series entitled to
give, make or take any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
consent, waiver or other action provided or permitted by this Indenture to be
given, made or taken by Holders of Securities of such series, provided that the
Company may not set a record date for, and the provisions of this paragraph
shall not apply with respect to, the giving or making of any notice,
declaration, request or direction referred to in the next paragraph. If any
record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding
Securities of the relevant series on such record date, and no other Holders,
shall be entitled to take the

                                      -10-

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

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

          (g) With respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section, the
party hereto which sets such record dates may designate any day as the
"Expiration Date" and from time to time may change the Expiration Date to any
earlier or later day; provided that no such change shall be effective unless
notice of the proposed new Expiration Date is given to the other party hereto in
writing, and to each Holder of

                                      -11-

Securities of the relevant series in the manner set forth in Section 106, on or
prior to the existing Expiration Date. If an Expiration Date is not designated
with respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section, the party hereto
which set such record date shall be deemed to have initially designated the
180th day after such record date as the Expiration Date with respect thereto,
subject to its right to change the Expiration Date as provided in this
paragraph.

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

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

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

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

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

Section 106. Notice to Holders; Waiver.

          (a) Where this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of any event,
such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly
provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder
affected by such event, at his address as it appears in the Security Register,
not later than the latest date (if any), and not earlier than the earliest date
(if any), prescribed for the giving of such notice. In any case where notice to
Holders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any
defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder shall affect the
sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders. Where this Indenture
provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the
Person entitled to receive such

                                      -12-

notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the
equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the
Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of
any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.

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

Section 107. Conflict with Trust Indenture Act.

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

Section 108. Effect of Headings and Table of Contents.

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

bind its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not.

Section 110. Separability Clause.

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

Section 111. Benefits of Indenture.

shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and their successors
hereunder and the Holders, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy
or claim under this Indenture.

construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard
to its principles of conflicts of laws.

relation to any matter arising under this Indenture or the Securities
appertaining thereto may be brought in any United States Federal or New York
State court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, New York
to the extent that such court has subject matter jurisdiction over the
controversy, and, by execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company
hereby irrevocably accepts, generally and unconditionally, the jurisdiction of
the aforesaid courts, acknowledges their competence and irrevocably agrees to be
bound by any judgment rendered in such proceeding.

Section 113. Legal Holidays.

          In any case where any Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated
Maturity of any Security or any other specified date with respect to any
Security shall not be a Business Day at any Place of Payment, then
(notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or of the Securities
(other than a provision of any Security 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,
Redemption Date, at the Stated Maturity or such other specified date, provided
that no interest, principal or premium (if any) shall accrue with respect to
such payment, for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date,
Redemption Date, Stated Maturity or such other specified date, as the case may
be. However, if such next succeeding Business Day is in the next succeeding
calendar month or calendar year, as applicable, such payment will be made on the
immediately preceding Business Day, in each case with the same force and effect
as if made on such Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date, Stated Maturity or
otherwise.

Section 303. Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating.

          (a) The Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its
Chairman, its Deputy Chairman, its President or one of its Vice Presidents. The
signature of any of these officers on the Securities may be manual or facsimile.

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

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

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

          (2) if the terms of such Securities have been, or in the case of
     Securities of a series offered in a Periodic Offering, will be, established
     by or

                                      -26-

     pursuant to a Board Resolution as permitted by Section 301, that such terms
     have been, or in the case of Securities of a series offered in a Periodic
     Offering, the manner of determining such terms have been, established in
     conformity with the provisions of this Indenture, subject, in the case of
     Securities of a series offered in a Periodic Offering, to any conditions
     specified in such Opinion of Counsel; and

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

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

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

          (ii) with respect to Securities of a series offered in a Periodic
Offering, the Trustee may rely, as to the authorization by the Company of any of
such Securities, the form and terms thereof and the legality, validity, binding
effect and enforceability thereof, upon the Opinion of Counsel and the other
documents delivered pursuant to Sections 201 and 301 and this Section, as
applicable, in connection with the first authentication of Securities of such
series.

          (e) Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication.

          (f) No Security shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture
or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Security
a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein
executed by the Trustee by manual signature of an authorized officer, and such
certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only
evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder
and is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.

                                      -27-

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

Section 304. Temporary Securities.

          (a) Pending the preparation of definitive Securities of any series,
the Company may execute, and upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate
and deliver, temporary Securities which are printed, lithographed, typewritten,
mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination,
substantially of the tenor of the definitive Securities in lieu of which they
are issued and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and
other variations as the officers executing such Securities may determine, as
evidenced by their execution of such Securities.

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

Section 305. Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange.

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

                                      -28-

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

                                      -29-

Global Security shall constitute a single Security for all purposes of this
Indenture . Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as otherwise specified as
contemplated by Section 301, no Global Security shall be registered for transfer
or exchange, or authenticated or delivered, pursuant to this Section 305 or
Sections 304, 306, 906 or 1107 in the name of a Person other than the Depositary
for such Security or its nominee until (i) the Depositary with respect to a
Global Security notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue
as Depositary for such Global Security or the Depositary ceases to be a clearing
agency registered under the Exchange Act and the Company notifies the Trustee
that it is unable to locate a qualified successor Depositary, (ii) the Company
executes and delivers to the Trustee a Company Order that such Global Security
shall be so transferable and exchangeable or (iii) there shall have occurred and
be continuing an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of such series.
Upon the occurrence in respect of any Global Security of any series of any one
or more of the conditions specified in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of the
preceding sentence or such other conditions as may be specified as contemplated
by Section 301 for such series, such Global Security may be registered for
transfer or exchange for Securities registered in the names of, or authenticated
and delivered to, such Persons as the Depositary with respect to such series
shall direct.

          (i) Except as provided in the preceding paragraph, any Security
authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange
for, or in lieu of, any Global Security or any portion thereof, whether pursuant
to this Section, Section 304, 306, 906 or 1107 or otherwise, shall also be a
Global Security and bear the legend specified in Section 204. Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Indenture, a Global Security may not be transferred
except as a whole by the Depositary for such Global Security to a nominee of
such Depositary or to another Depositary or a nominee thereof or by a nominee of
such Depositary to such Depositary or another nominee of such Depositary or to
another Depositary or a nominee thereof.

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

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

          (b) If there shall be delivered to the Company and the Trustee (i)
evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security
and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of
them and any agent of either of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to
the Company or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a protected
purchaser, the Company shall execute and upon its request the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed,

                                      -30-

lost or stolen Security, a new Security of the same series and of like tenor and
principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

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

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

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

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

Section 307. Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved.

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

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

          (1) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to
     the Persons in whose names the Securities of such series (or their
     respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business
     on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which
     shall be

                                      -31-

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

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

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

Section 308. Persons Deemed Owners.

          (a) Prior to due presentment of a Security for registration of
transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee
may treat the Person in whose name such Security is registered as the owner of
such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of (and premium,
if any) and (subject to

                                      -32-

Section 307) interest on such Security and for all other purposes whatsoever,
whether or not such Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee
nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the
contrary.

          (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Global
Security, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee, or any agent of
the Company or the Trustee, from giving effect to any written certification,
proxy or other authorization furnished by any depositary, as a Holder, with
respect to such Global Security or impair, as between such depositary and owners
of beneficial interests in such Global Security, the operation of customary
practices governing the exercise of the rights of such depositary as a Holder of
such Global Security.

          (c) None of the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or
the Trustee shall have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the
records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership
interests in a Global Security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any
records relating to such beneficial ownership interests.

Section 309. Cancellation.

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

Section 310. Computation of Interest.

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

                                      -33-

Section 401. Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture.

          (a) This Indenture shall upon Company Request cease to be of further
effect with respect to any series of Securities (except as to any surviving

herein expressly provided for), and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company,
shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of
this Indenture as to such series, when:

          (1) either

          (A) all Securities of such series theretofore authenticated and

     has theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by
     the Company and thereafter repaid to the Company or discharged from such
     trust, as provided in Section 1003) have been delivered to the Trustee for
     cancellation; or

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

               (i) have become due and payable, or

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

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

          and the Company, in the case of (i), (ii) or (iii) above, has
          deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in
          trust for the purpose an amount sufficient to pay and discharge the
          entire indebtedness on the Securities of such series not theretofore
          delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, for principal (and premium,
          if any) and interest to the date of such deposit (in the case of
          Securities which have become due

                                      -34-

          and payable) or to the Stated Maturity or Redemption Date, as the case
          may be;

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

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

the obligations of the Company to the Trustee under Section 607, the obligations
of the Trustee to any Authenticating Agent under Section 614 and, if money shall

paragraph of Section 1003 shall survive.

Section 402. Application of Trust Money.

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

          "Event of Default", wherever used herein with respect to Securities of
any series, means any one of the following events (whatever the reason for such

     specifically dealt with or which has expressly been included in this
     Indenture solely for the benefit of a series of Securities other than that
     series), and continuance of such default or breach for a period of 60 days

     any mortgage, indenture or instrument (including this Indenture) under
     which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any
     indebtedness for money borrowed by the Company having an aggregate
     principal amount outstanding of at least $50,000,000, whether such
     indebtedness now exists or shall hereafter be created, which default shall
     have resulted in such indebtedness becoming or being declared due and
     payable prior to the date on which it would otherwise have become due and
     payable, without such acceleration having been rescinded or annulled within
     a period of 10 days after there shall have been given, by registered or
     certified mail, to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the
     Trustee by the Holders of at least 10% in principal amount of the
     Outstanding Securities of that series a written notice specifying such
     default and requiring the Company to cause such acceleration to be
     rescinded or annulled and stating that such notice is a "Notice of Default"
     hereunder; provided, however, that, subject to the provisions of Sections
     601 and 602, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of such
     default unless either (A) a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have
     actual knowledge of such default or (B) the Trustee shall have received
     written notice thereof from the Company, from any Holder, from

                                      -36-

     the holder of any such indebtedness or from the trustee under any mortgage,
     indenture or other instrument; or

          (6) the entry by a court having jurisdiction in the premises of (A) a

     or proceeding under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization
     or other similar law or (B) a decree or order adjudging the Company a
     bankrupt or insolvent, or approving as properly filed a petition seeking
     reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition of or in respect of
     the Company under any applicable law, or appointing a custodian, receiver,
     liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar official of
     the Company or of any substantial part of its property, or ordering the
     winding up or liquidation of its affairs, and the continuance of any such
     decree or order for relief or any such other decree or order unstayed and
     in effect for a period of 90 consecutive days; or

     under any applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency,
     reorganization or other similar law or of any other case or proceeding to

     of 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 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

     furtherance of any such action; or

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

Section 502. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.

          (a) If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified
in Section 501(6) or 501(7)) with respect to Securities of any series at the
time Outstanding occurs and is continuing, then and in every such case the
Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of that series may declare the principal amount (or, if
any of the Securities of that series are Original Issue Discount Securities,
such portion of the principal amount of such Securities as may be specified in

                                      -37-

the terms thereof) of all of the Securities of that series to be due and payable
immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given
by Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal amount (or specified
amount) shall become immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default
specified in Section 501(6) or 501(7) with respect to Securities of any series
at the time Outstanding occurs, the principal amount of all the Securities of
that series (or, if any Securities of that series are Original Issue Discount
Securities, such portion of the principal amount of such Securities as may be
specified by the terms thereof) shall automatically, and without any declaration
or other action on the part of the Trustee or any Holder, become immediately due
and payable.

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

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

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

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

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

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

     and

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

                                      -38-

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

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

          (a) The Company covenants that if

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

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

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

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

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

liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or
other judicial proceeding relative to the Company or any other obligor upon the

creditors, the Trustee shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such
proceeding or otherwise, to take any and all action authorized under the Trust
Indenture Act in order to have the claims of the Holders and the Trustee allowed
in any such proceeding. In particular, the Trustee shall be authorized to
collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any
such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee,
trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial
proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the
Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such
payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for
the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under
Section 607.

          (b) 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
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 505. Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Securities.

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

Section 506. Application of Money Collected.

          Any money collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article shall be
applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and,

607;

respectively; and

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

Section 507. Limitation on Suits.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Section 508. Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal,
             Premium and Interest.

                                      -41-

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

Section 509. Restoration of Rights and Remedies.

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

Section 510. Rights and Remedies Cumulative.

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

Section 511. Delay or Omission Not Waiver.

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

Section 512. Control by Holders.

          The Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of any series shall have the right to direct the time,
method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the
Trustee, or exercising

                                      -42-

any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, with respect to the Securities of
such series, provided that

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

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

          (3) subject to the provisions of Section 601, the Trustee shall have
     the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee in good
     faith shall, by a Responsible Officer or Officers of the Trustee, determine
     that the proceeding so directed would involve the Trustee in personal
     liability, for which the security or indemnity offered pursuant to Section
     603(e) would not be sufficient.

Section 513. Waiver of Past Defaults.

          (a) Subject to Section 502, the Holders of not less than a majority in
principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series may, on behalf of
the Holders of all the Securities of such series, by notice to the Trustee,
waive an existing or past default with respect to the Securities of such series
and its consequences, except a default

          (1) in the payment of principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on
     any Security of such series, or in the deposit of any sinking fund payment
     when and as due, or

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

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

Section 514. Undertaking for Costs.

          All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Security
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

                                      -43-

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.

Section 515. 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 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 SIX

                                   The Trustee

Section 601. Certain Duties and Responsibilities.

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

Section 602. Notice of Defaults.

          If a default known to the Trustee occurs hereunder with respect to the
Securities of any series, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Holders of
Securities of such series, as their names and addresses appear in the Security
Register by the time required by the Trust Indenture Act, notice of such default
hereunder, unless such default shall have been cured or waived; provided,
however, that, in the case of any default of the character specified in Section
501(4) with respect to Securities of such series, no such notice to Holders
shall be given until at least 30 days after the occurrence thereof. For the
purpose of this Section, the term "default" means any event which is, or after
notice

                                      -44-

or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default with respect to
Securities of such series.

Section 603. Certain Rights of Trustee.

          Subject to the provisions of Section 601:

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

          (b) any request or direction of the Company mentioned herein shall be
sufficiently evidenced by a Company Request or Company Order or as otherwise
expressly provided herein and any resolution of the Board of Directors may be
sufficiently evidenced by a Board Resolution;

          (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 Officers' Certificate;

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

          (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 of the Holders pursuant to this Indenture, unless such Holders shall have
offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs,
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 be entitled to examine the
books, records and premises of the Company, personally or by agent or attorney;
and

                                      -45-

          (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;

          (h) The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of a Default or an
Event of Default unless (a) the Trustee has received written notice thereof from
the Company or any Holder or (b) a Responsible Officer shall have actual
knowledge thereof; and

          (i) For the avoidance of doubt, permissive rights of the Trustee
designated as such and enumerated herein shall not be construed as duties.

Section 604. Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Securities.

          The recitals contained herein and in the Securities, except the
Trustee's certificates of authentication, shall be taken as the statements of
the Company, and neither the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent assumes any
responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to
the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Securities, except that
the Trustee represents that it is duly authorized to execute and deliver this
Indenture, authenticate the Securities and perform its obligations hereunder and
that the statements made by it in a Statement of Eligibility on Form T-1
supplied to the Company are true and accurate, subject to the qualifications set
forth therein. Neither the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent shall be
accountable for the use or application by the Company of Securities or the
proceeds thereof.

Section 605. May Hold Securities.

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

Section 606. Money Held in Trust.

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

Section 607. Compensation and Reimbursement.

                                      -46-

          (a) The Company agrees:

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

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

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

Section 608. Disqualification; Conflicting Interests.

          The Trustee for the Securities of any series issued hereunder shall be
subject to the provisions of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act during
the period of time provided for therein. In determining whether the Trustee has
a conflicting interest as defined in Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act
with respect to the Securities of any specific series, this Indenture shall be
excluded with respect to Securities of any series of Securities other than that
specific series.

Section 609. Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility.

          There shall at all times be one (and only one) Trustee hereunder with
respect to the Securities of each series, which may be a Trustee hereunder for
Securities of one or more other series and each of which shall be a corporation
organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America, any
State thereof or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to
exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at
least $50,000,000. If such corporation 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 and to the extent
permitted by the Trust Indenture Act, the combined capital and surplus of such
corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth
in its most

                                      -47-

recent report of condition so published. If at any time the Trustee shall cease
to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, it shall
resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in
this Article.

Section 610. Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor.

          (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 611.

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

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

          (d) If at any time:

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

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

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

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

                                      -48-

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

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

Section 611. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor.

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

                                      -49-

transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the
retiring Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor
Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder.

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

          (c) Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Company shall
execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and
confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred
to in paragraph (a) and (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 eligible
under this Article.

                                      -50-

Section 612. Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business.

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

Section 613. Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company.

          The Trustee shall comply with Section 311(a) of the Trust Indenture
Act with respect to each series of Securities for which it is Trustee.

Section 614. Appointment of Authenticating Agent.

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

                                      -51-

provisions of this Section, such Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately
in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section.

          (b) 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 that 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.

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

          (d) The Trustee agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time
to time reasonable compensation for its services under this Section and the
Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed for such payments, subject to the
provisions of Section 607.

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

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

Section to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture,
but it shall be sufficient if such Act shall approve the substance thereof.

and (subject to

                                      -59-

Section 601) shall be fully protected in relying upon, in addition to the
documents required by Section 102, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the
execution of such supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this
Indenture. The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such
supplemental indenture which affects the Trustee's own rights, duties or
immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

Section 904. Effect of Supplemental Indentures.

          Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture under this Article,

exchange for Outstanding Securities of such series.

                                   ARTICLE TEN

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

surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust
Office of the Trustee, and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent
to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands.

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

principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on any of the Securities of that
series, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled
thereto a sum sufficient to pay the principal (and premium, if any) or interest
so becoming due until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise
disposed of as herein provided and will promptly notify the Trustee of its
action or failure so to act.

          (b) Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents for any
series of Securities, it will, on or before each due date of the principal of
(and premium, if any) or interest on any Securities of that series, deposit with
a Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay the principal (and premium, if any) or
interest so becoming due, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the
Persons entitled to such principal, premium or interest, and (unless such Paying
Agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of its action
or failure so to act.

          (c) The Company will cause each Paying Agent for any series of
Securities other than the Trustee to execute and deliver to the Trustee an
instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to
the provisions of this Section, that such Paying Agent will (1) comply with the
provisions of the Trust Indenture Act applicable to it as a Paying Agent and (2)
during the continuance of any

                                      -61-

default by the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities of that series)
in the making of any payment in respect of the Securities of that series, upon
the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums held
in trust by such Paying Agent for payment in respect of the Securities of that
series.

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

          (e) 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 on any Security of any series and remaining unclaimed for
two years after such principal (and premium, if any) or interest has become due
and payable shall be paid to the Company on Company Request, or (if then held by
the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such
Security shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the
Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying
Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as
trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease.

Section 1004. Corporate Existence.

          Subject to Article Eight, the Company will do or cause to be done all
things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate
existence and all licenses and permits material to the normal conduct of its
business; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to preserve
any such right or franchise if the Board of Directors shall determine that the
preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of
the Company and that the loss thereof is not disadvantageous in any material
respect to the Holders.

Section 1005. [Reserved].

Section 1006. Statement by Officers as to Default.

          The Company will deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end
of each fiscal year of the Company ending after the date hereof, an Officers'
Certificate, stating whether or not to the best knowledge of the signers thereof
the Company is in default in the performance and observance of any of the terms,
provisions, covenants and conditions of this Indenture (without regard to any
period of grace or requirement of

                                      -62-

notice provided hereunder), and if the Company shall be in default, specifying
all such defaults and the nature and status thereof of which they may have
knowledge.

Section 1007. Waiver of Certain Covenants.

          Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for
securities of such series, the Company may, with respect to the Securities of
any series, omit in any particular instance to comply with any term, provision
or condition set forth in any covenant provided pursuant to Section 301(b)(19),
901(2) or 901(7) for the benefit of the Holders of such series or in any of
Sections 1002, 1004 and 1005, inclusive, if before the time for such compliance
the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities of such series shall, by Act of such Holders, either waive such
compliance in such instance or generally waive compliance with such term,
provision or condition but no such waiver contemplated by this Section 1007
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 1008. Calculation of Original Issue Discount.

          The Company shall file with the Trustee as promptly as possible after
the end of each calendar year (i) a written notice specifying the amount of
original issue discount (including daily rates and accrual periods) accrued on
Outstanding Securities as of the end of such year and (ii) such other specific
information relating to such original issue discount as may then be relevant
under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time.

                                 ARTICLE ELEVEN

                            Redemption of Securities

Section 1101. Applicability of Article.

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

Section 1102. Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee.

          The election of the Company to redeem any Securities shall be
evidenced by a Board Resolution or in another manner specified as contemplated
by Section 301 for

                                      -63-

such Securities. In case of any redemption at the election of the Company of
less than all the Securities of any series (including any such redemption
affecting only a single Security), the Company shall, at least 60 days prior to
the Redemption Date fixed by the Company (unless a shorter notice shall be
satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the Trustee of such Redemption Date and of
the principal amount of Securities of such series to be redeemed and, if
applicable, of the tenor of the Securities to be redeemed. In the case of any
redemption of Securities (A) prior to the expiration of any restriction on such
redemption provided in the terms of such Securities or elsewhere in this
Indenture or (B) pursuant to an election of the Company that is subject to a
condition specified in the terms of such Securities or elsewhere in this
Indenture, the Company shall furnish the Trustee with an Officers' Certificate
evidencing compliance with such restriction or condition.

Section 1103. Selection by Trustee of Securities to Be Redeemed.

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

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

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

                                      -64-

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

Section 1104. Notice of Redemption.

          Notice of redemption shall be given in the manner provided in Section
106 not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, to
each Holder of Securities to be redeemed, at his address appearing in the
Security Register.

          All notices of redemption shall state:

          (1) the Redemption Date,

          (2) the Redemption Price or, if not then ascertainable, the manner of
     calculation thereof,

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

          (4) the CUSIP numbers of the Securities to be redeemed,

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

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

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

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

Section 1105. Deposit of Redemption Price.

                                      -65-

          On or prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on any Redemption Date,
the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the
Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as
provided in Section 1003) an amount of money sufficient to pay the Redemption
Price of, and (except if the Redemption Date shall be an Interest Payment Date
unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301) accrued interest on,
all the Securities which are to be redeemed on that date.

Section 1106. Securities Payable on Redemption Date.

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

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

Section 1107. Securities Redeemed in Part.

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

                                      -66-

                                 ARTICLE TWELVE

                                  Sinking Funds

Section 1201. Applicability of Article.

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

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

Section 1202. Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments with Securities.

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

Section 1203. Redemption of Securities for Sinking Fund.

          Not less than 60 days prior to each sinking fund payment date for any
series of Securities, the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officers'
Certificate specifying the amount of the next ensuing sinking fund payment for
that series pursuant to the terms of that series, the portion thereof, if any,
which is to be satisfied by payment of cash and the portion thereof, if any,
which is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting Securities of that series
pursuant to Section 1202 and stating the basis for such credit and that such
Securities have not been previously so credited and will also deliver to the
Trustee any Securities to be so delivered. Not less than 30 days before each
such sinking fund payment date the Trustee shall select the Securities to be
redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date in the manner specified in Section
1103 and cause notice of the redemption thereof to be given in the name of and
at the expense of the Company in

                                      -67-

the manner provided in Section 1104. Such notice having been duly given, the
redemption of such Securities shall be made upon the terms and in the manner
stated in Sections 1106 and 1107.

                                ARTICLE THIRTEEN

                       Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance

Section 1301. Applicability of Article; Company's Option to Effect Defeasance or
              Covenant Defeasance.

          If pursuant to Section 301 provision is made for either or both of (a)
Defeasance of the Securities of a series under Section 1302 or (b) Covenant
Defeasance of the Securities of a series under Section 1303, then the provisions
of such Section or Sections, as the case may be, together with the other
provisions of this Article Thirteen, shall be applicable to the Securities of
such series, and the Company may at its option, at any time, with respect to the
Securities of such series, elect to have either Section 1302 (if applicable) or
Section 1303 (if applicable) be applied to the Outstanding Securities of such
series upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article
Thirteen. Any such election shall be evidenced by a Board Resolution or in
another manner specified as contemplated by Section 301 for such Securities.

Section 1302. Defeasance and Discharge.

          Upon the Company's exercise of its option (if any) to have this
Section applied to any Securities or any series of Securities, as the case may
be, the Company shall be deemed to have been discharged from its obligations
with respect to such Securities as provided in this Section, on and after the
date the conditions set forth in Section 1304 are satisfied (hereinafter called
"Defeasance"). For this purpose, such Defeasance means that the Company shall be
deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by such
Securities and to have satisfied all its other obligations under such Securities
and this Indenture insofar as such Securities are concerned (and the Trustee, at
the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the
same), subject to the following which shall survive until otherwise terminated
or discharged hereunder:

          (1) the rights of Holders of such Securities to receive, solely from
     the trust fund described in Section 1304 and as more fully set forth in
     such Section, payments in respect of the principal of and any premium and
     interest on such Securities when payments are due,

                                      -68-

          (2) the Company's obligations with respect to such Securities under
     Sections 304, 305, 306, 1002 and 1003,

          (3) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee
     hereunder, and

          (4) this Article Thirteen.

Subject to compliance with this Article Thirteen, the Company may exercise its
option (if any) to have this Section applied to any Securities notwithstanding
the prior exercise of its option (if any) to have Section 1303 applied to such
Securities.

Section 1303. Covenant Defeasance.

          Upon the Company's exercise of its option (if any) to have this
Section applied to any Securities or any series of Securities, as the case may
be,

          (1) the Company shall be released from its obligations under Section
     801(3), and any covenants provided pursuant to Section 301(b)(19), 901(2)
     or 901(7) for the benefit of the Holders of such Securities, and

          (2) the occurrence of any event specified in Sections 501(4) (with
     respect to any of Section 801(3), and any such covenants provided pursuant
     to Section 301(b)(19), 901(2) or 901(7)) and 501(8) shall be deemed not to
     be or result in an Event of Default,

in each case with respect to such Securities as provided in this Section on and
after the date the conditions set forth in Section 1304 are satisfied
(hereinafter called "Covenant Defeasance"). For this purpose, such Covenant
Defeasance means that, with respect to such Securities, the Company may omit to
comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or
limitation set forth in any such specified Section (to the extent so specified
in the case of Section 501(4)), whether directly or indirectly by reason of any
reference elsewhere herein to any such Section, Clause or Article or by reason
of any reference in any such Section, Clause or Article to any other provision
herein or in any other document, but the remainder of this Indenture and such
Securities shall be unaffected thereby. Following a Covenant Defeasance, payment
of the Securities of such series may not be accelerated because of or by
reference to the Sections specified above in this Section 1303.

Section 1304. Conditions to Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

          The following shall be the conditions precedent to application of
either Section 1302 or Section 1303 to the Outstanding Securities of such
series:

                                      -69-

          (1) the Company shall irrevocably have deposited or caused to be
     deposited with the Trustee (or another trustee satisfying the requirements
     of Section 609 who shall agree to comply with the provisions of this
     Article Thirteen applicable to it) as trust funds in trust for the purpose
     of making the following payments, specifically pledged as security for, and
     dedicated solely to, the benefit of the Holders of such Securities,

               (i) money in an amount, or

               (ii) U.S. Government Obligations which through the scheduled
          payment of principal and interest in respect thereof in accordance
          with their terms will provide, not later than one day before the due
          date of any payment, money in an amount, or

               (iii) a combination thereof,

          sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of
          independent public accountants expressed in a written certification
          thereof delivered to the Trustee (in case U.S. Government Obligations
          have so been deposited), to pay and discharge, and which shall be
          applied by the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee) to pay and
          discharge, (i) the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on
          the Outstanding Securities of such series to maturity or redemption,
          as the case may be, and (ii) any mandatory sinking fund payments or
          analogous payments applicable to the Outstanding Securities of such
          series on the due dates thereof. Before such a deposit the Company may
          make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the redemption of
          Securities at a future date or dates in accordance with Article
          Eleven, which shall be given effect in applying the foregoing. For
          this purpose, "U.S. Government Obligations" means securities that are
          (x) direct obligations of the United States of America for the payment
          of which its full faith and credit is pledged or (y) obligations of a
          Person controlled or supervised by and acting as an agency or
          instrumentality of the United States of America the payment of which
          is unconditionally guaranteed as a full faith and credit obligation by
          the United States of America, which, in either case, are not callable
          or redeemable at the option of the issuer thereof, and shall also
          include a depositary receipt issued by a bank (as defined in Section
          3(a)(2) of the Securities Act) as custodian with respect to any such
          U.S. Government Obligation or a specific payment of principal of or
          interest on any such U.S. Government Obligation held by such custodian
          for the account of the holder of such depositary receipt, provided
          that (except as required by law) such custodian is not authorized to
          make any deduction from the amount payable to the holder of such
          depositary receipt from any amount received by the custodian in
          respect

                                      -70-

          of the U.S. Government Obligation or the specific payment of principal
          of or interest on the U.S. Government Obligation evidenced by such
          depositary receipt.

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

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

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

          (5) No Event of Default or event which with notice or lapse of time or
     both would become an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of
     such series shall have occurred and be continuing (A) on the date of such
     deposit (other than an Event of Default resulting from the incurrence of
     indebtedness all or a portion of which the proceeds of which will be used
     to defease the Securities concurrently with such incurrence) or (B) insofar
     as subsections 501(6) and (7) are concerned, at any time during the period
     ending on the 90th day after the date of such deposit or, if longer, ending
     on the day following the expiration of the longest preference period
     applicable to the Company in respect of such deposit (it being understood
     that the condition in this clause (B) is a condition subsequent and shall
     not be deemed satisfied until the expiration of such period).

                                      -71-

          (6) Such Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not (A) cause the
     Trustee for the Securities of such series to have a conflicting interest as
     defined in Section 608 or for purposes of the Trust Indenture Act with
     respect to any securities of the Company or (B) result in the trust arising
     from such deposit to constitute, unless it is qualified as, a regulated
     investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

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

          (8) The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers'
     Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions
     precedent provided for relating to either the Defeasance under Section 1302
     or the Covenant Defeasance under Section 1303 (as the case may be) have
     been complied with.

Section 1305. Deposited Money and U.S. Government Obligations to be Held
              in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions.

          (a) Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 1003,
all money and U.S. Government Obligations (including the proceeds thereof)
deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee -- collectively, for
purposes of this Section 1305, the "Trustee") pursuant to Section 1304 in
respect of the Outstanding Securities of such series shall be held in trust and
applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Securities and
this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (but
not including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may
determine, to the Holders of such Securities, of all sums due and to become due
thereon in respect of principal (and premium, if any) and interest, but such
money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by
law.

          (b) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall
deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon Company Request any money
or U.S. Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 1304 which, in
the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants
expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (in case
U.S. Government Obligations are so being held by the Trustee), are in excess of

Section 1306. Reinstatement.

          If the Trustee or the Paying Agent is unable to apply any money in
accordance with Section 1302 or 1303 by reason of any order or judgment or any
court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting
such application, then the Company's obligations under the Securities of such
series shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred
pursuant to this Article Thirteen until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent
is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 1302 or 1303;
provided, however, that if the Company makes any payment of principal of (and
premium, if any) any such Security following the reinstatement of its
obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of
such Securities to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or
the Paying Agent.

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

          IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Indenture to
