other written communications at any reasonable time upon the giving of
reasonable written notice to the Registrar.

               (c) Authentication of Certificated Security in Absence of
Depositary. If at any time that any Global Securities are outstanding:

                   (i) the Depositary for the Securities notifies the Company
that the Depositary is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for the
Global Securities and a successor Depositary for the Global Securities is not
appointed by the Company within 90 days after delivery of such notice; or

                                       13
<PAGE>

                   (ii) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing then
the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an
authentication order in accordance with Section 2.2 hereof, authenticate and
deliver, certificated Securities in an aggregate principal amount equal to the
principal amount of the Global Securities in exchange for such Global
Securities.

        In the event of the occurrence of either of the events specified in this
Section, the Company will promptly make available to the Trustee a reasonable
supply of certificated Securities in definitive, fully registered form without
interest coupons.

        Section 2.7 Replacement Securities. If the holder of a Security claims
that the Security has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken or if such
Security is mutilated and is surrendered to the Trustee, the Company shall issue
and the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Security if the Trustee's and
the Company's requirements are met. If required by the Trustee or the Company,
an indemnity bond must be sufficient in the judgment of both to protect and hold
harmless the Company, the Trustee, any Agent or any authenticating agent from
any loss, liability or expense which any of them may suffer if a Security is
replaced. The Company may charge for its expenses in replacing a Security.

        In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security has
become or is about to become due and payable, or is about to be redeemed or
purchased by the Company pursuant to Article III hereof or converted into shares
of Common Stock pursuant to Article V hereof, the Company in its discretion may,
instead of issuing a new Security, pay, redeem, purchase or convert such
Security, as the case may be.

        Every replacement Security is an additional obligation of the Company
and shall be entitled to all the benefits provided under this Indenture equally
and proportionately with all other Securities duly issued hereunder.

        Section 2.8 Outstanding Securities. The Securities outstanding at any
time are all the Securities authenticated by the Trustee except for those
canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, and those described in
this Section as not outstanding, provided, however, that in determining whether
the holders of the requisite principal amount of outstanding Securities are
present at a meeting of holders of Securities for quorum purposes or have
consented to or voted in favor of any request, demand, authorization, direction,
notice, consent, waiver, amendment or modification hereunder, Securities held
for the account of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of its Affiliates
shall be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding, except that in
determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in making such a
determination or relying upon any such quorum, consent or vote, only Securities
which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee actually knows to be so owned shall
be so disregarded.

        If a Security is replaced (including pursuant to Section 2.1(a)), paid
or purchased pursuant to Section 2.7 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding unless
the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced, paid or
purchased Security is held by a bona fide purchaser.

        If Securities are considered paid under Section 4.1 hereof, they cease
to be outstanding and interest on them ceases to accrue.

                                       14
<PAGE>

        A Security does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an
Affiliate of the Company holds the Security.

        Section 2.9 Treasury Securities. In determining whether the
Noteholders of the required principal amount of Securities have concurred in any
direction, waiver or consent, Securities owned by the Company or an Affiliate of
the Company shall be considered as though they are not outstanding, except that
for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in
relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Securities which a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee actually knows are so owned shall be so
disregarded.

        Section 2.10 Temporary Securities. Until definitive Securities are
ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate
temporary Securities. Temporary Securities shall be substantially in the form of
definitive Securities but may have variations that the Company considers
appropriate for temporary Securities. Without unreasonable delay, the Company
shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate definitive Securities in
exchange for temporary Securities.

        Section 2.11 Cancellation. The Company at any time may deliver
Securities to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar, Paying Agent and
Conversion Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Securities surrendered to them
for registration of transfer, redemption, conversion, exchange or payment. The
Trustee shall promptly cancel all Securities surrendered for registration of
transfer, redemption, conversion, exchange, payment, replacement or
cancellation, shall dispose of such canceled Securities in accordance with its
customary procedures (subject to the record retention requirement of the
Exchange Act) and deliver to the Company a certificate of a Responsible Officer
certifying as to such destruction. The Company may not issue new Securities to
replace Securities that it has paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee
for cancellation or that any holder has converted.

        Section 2.12 Transfer of Interests in Global Securities. The registered
holder of a Global Security may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any
person, including Agent Members and persons that may hold interests through
Agent Members, to take any action which a holder is entitled to take under this
Indenture or the Securities.

        Section 2.13. Defaulted Interest. If the Company fails to make a payment
of interest on the Securities, it shall pay such defaulted interest plus any
interest payable on the defaulted interest, in any lawful manner. It may pay
such defaulted interest, plus any such interest payable on it, to the persons
who are Noteholders on a subsequent special record date. The Company shall fix
any such record date and payment date. At least 15 days before any such record
date, the Company shall cause to be mailed to Noteholders a notice that states
the record date, payment date, and amount of such interest to be paid.

                                   ARTICLE III

                            REDEMPTION AND REPURCHASE

        Section 3.1 Notices to Trustee. If the Company elects to redeem
Securities pursuant to the optional redemption provision of Section 3.7 hereof,
it shall notify the Trustee of the

                                       15
<PAGE>

redemption date and the principal amount of Securities to be redeemed. The
Company shall give each notice to the Trustee provided for in this Section 3.1
at least 30 days before the redemption date (unless a shorter notice period
shall be satisfactory to the Trustee).

        Section 3.2 Selection of Securities to be Redeemed. If less than all the
Securities are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select the Securities to be
redeemed in compliance with the requirements of the principal national
securities exchange, if any, on which the Securities are listed, or, if the
Securities are not so listed, on a pro rata basis. The Trustee shall make the
selection not more than 60 days and not less than 20 days before the redemption
date from Securities outstanding not previously called for redemption. The
Trustee may select for redemption portions of the principal of Securities that
have denominations larger than $1,000. Securities and portions of them it
selects shall be in amounts of $1,000 or integral multiples of $1,000.
Provisions of this Indenture that apply to Securities called for redemption also
apply to portions of Securities called for redemption. The Trustee shall notify
the Company promptly of the Securities or portions of Securities to be called
for redemption.

        If any Security selected for partial redemption is converted in part
after such selection, the converted portion of such Security shall be deemed (so
far as may be) to be the portion to be selected for redemption. The Securities
(or portions thereof) so selected shall be deemed duly selected for redemption
for all purposes hereof, notwithstanding that any such Security is converted in
whole or in part before the mailing of the notice of redemption. Upon any
redemption of less than all the Securities, the Company and the Trustee may
treat as outstanding any Securities surrendered for conversion during the period
20 days next preceding the mailing of a notice of redemption and need not treat
as outstanding any Security authenticated and delivered during such period in
exchange for the unconverted portion of any Security converted in part during
such period.

        Section 3.3 Notice of Redemption. At least 30 days but not more than 40
days before a redemption date, the Company shall mail a notice of redemption to
each holder whose Securities are to be redeemed at such holder's registered
address.

        The notice shall identify the Securities to be redeemed (including the
CUSIP numbers) and shall state:

               (a) the redemption date;

               (b) the redemption price;

               (c) if any Security is being redeemed in part, the portion of the
principal amount of such Security to be redeemed and that, after the redemption
date, upon cancellation of such Security, a new Security or Securities in
principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion will be issued in the name of
the holder thereof;

               (d) the name and address of the Paying Agent;

               (e) that Securities called for redemption must be surrendered to
the Paying Agent to collect the redemption price plus accrued interest, if any;

                                       16
<PAGE>

               (f) that, unless the Company defaults in making such redemption
payment or the Paying Agent is prohibited from making such payment pursuant to
the terms of this Indenture, interest on Securities called for redemption ceases
to accrue on and after the redemption date; and

               (g) the paragraph of the Securities pursuant to which the
Securities called for redemption are being redeemed.

        Such notice shall also state the current Conversion Price and the date
on which the right to convert such Securities or portions thereof into Common
Stock of the Company will expire.

        At the Company's request, the Trustee shall give notice of redemption in
the Company's name and at its expense.

        Section 3.4 Effect of Notice of Redemption. Once notice of redemption is
mailed, Securities called for redemption become due and payable on the
redemption date at the price set forth in the Security.

        Section 3.5 Deposit of Redemption Price. On or before 10:00 am New York
City time on the redemption date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or
with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and
accrued interest, if any, up to but not including the redemption date on all
Securities to be redeemed on that date (subject to the right of holders of
record on the relevant record date to receive interest, if any, due on an
interest payment date) unless theretofore converted into Common Stock pursuant
to the provisions hereof. The Trustee or the Paying Agent shall return to the
Company any money not required for that purpose.

        Section 3.6 Securities Redeemed in Part. Upon cancellation of a Security
that is redeemed in part, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall
authenticate for the holder at the expense of the Company a new Security equal
in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Security surrendered.

        Section 3.7 Optional Redemption. The Company may redeem all or any
portion of the Securities, upon the terms and at the redemption prices set forth
in each of the Securities. Any redemption pursuant to this Section 3.7 shall be
made pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.1 through 3.6 hereof.

        Section 3.8 Designated Event Offer.

               (a) In the event that, pursuant to Section 4.7 hereof, the
Company shall commence a Designated Event Offer, the Company shall follow the
procedures in this Section 3.8.

               (b) The Designated Event Offer shall remain open for a period
specified by the Company which shall be no less than 30 calendar days and no
more than 40 calendar days following its commencement on the date of the mailing
of notice in accordance with Section 3.8(e) hereof (the "Commencement Date"),
except to the extent that a longer period is required by applicable law (the
"Tender Period"). Upon the expiration of the Tender Period (the

                                       17
<PAGE>

"Designated Event Payment Date"), the Company shall purchase the principal
amount of Securities required to be purchased pursuant to Section 4.7 hereof at
a purchase price equal to 100% of principal thereof, together with accrued and
unpaid interest thereon, if any, plus an amount in cash equal to the sum of (i)
$200.625 per each $1,000 principal amount of Securities and (ii) the amount of
interest payable per each $1,000 principal amount of Securities from the date of
issuance to June 30, 2002, less any interest actually paid or provided for with
respect to such Securities on or prior to the Designated Event Payment Date (the
"Designated Event Payment").

               (c) If the Designated Event Payment Date is on or after an
interest payment record date and on or before the related interest payment date,
any accrued interest will be paid to the person in whose name a Security is
registered at the close of business on such record date, and no additional
interest will be payable to Noteholders who tender Securities pursuant to the
Designated Event Offer.

               (d) The Company shall provide the Trustee with notice of the
Designated Event Offer at least 10 Business Days before the Commencement Date.

               (e) On or before the Commencement Date, the Company or the
Trustee (upon the request and at the expense of the Company) shall send, by
first class mail, a notice to each of the Noteholders, which shall govern the
terms of the Designated Event Offer and shall state:

                   (i) that the Designated Event Offer is being made pursuant to
this Section 3.8 and Section 4.7 hereof and that all Securities tendered will be
accepted for payment;

                   (ii) the purchase price (as determined in accordance with
Section 4.7 hereof), the length of time the Designated Event Offer will remain
open and the Designated Event Payment Date;

                   (iii) that any Security or portion thereof not tendered for
payment will continue to accrue interest;

                   (iv) that, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the
Designated Event Payment, any Security or portion thereof accepted for payment
pursuant to the Designated Event Offer shall cease to accrue interest after the
Designated Event Payment Date;

                   (v) that Noteholders electing to have a Security or portion
thereof purchased pursuant to any Designated Event Offer will be required to
surrender the Security, with the form entitled "Option of Noteholder To Elect
Purchase" on the reverse of the Security completed, to the Paying Agent at the
address specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the third
Business Day preceding the Designated Event Payment Date;

                   (vi) that Noteholders will be entitled to withdraw their
election if the Paying Agent receives, not later than the close of business on
the second Business Day preceding the Designated Event Payment Date, or such
longer period as may be required by law, a letter or a telegram, telex or
facsimile transmission (receipt of which is confirmed and promptly followed by a
letter) setting forth the name of the Noteholder, the principal amount of the
Security or

                                       18
<PAGE>

portion thereof the Noteholder delivered for purchase and a statement that such
Noteholder is withdrawing his election to have the Security or portion thereof
purchased; and

                   (vii) that Noteholders whose Securities are being purchased
only in part will be issued new Securities equal in principal amount to the
unpurchased portion of the Securities surrendered, which unpurchased portion
must be equal to $1,000 in principal amount or an integral multiple thereof.

               In addition, the notice shall contain all instructions and
materials that the Company shall reasonably deem necessary to enable such
Noteholders to tender Securities pursuant to the Designated Event Offer.

               (f) On or prior to 10:00 a.m. New York City time on the
Designated Event Payment Date, the Company shall irrevocably deposit with the
Trustee or a Paying Agent in immediately available funds an amount equal to the
Designated Event Payment to be held for payment in accordance with the terms of
this Section 3.8. On the Designated Event Payment Date, the Company shall, to
the extent lawful, (i) accept for payment the Securities or portions thereof
tendered pursuant to the Designated Event Offer, (ii) deliver or cause to be
delivered to the Trustee Securities so accepted and (iii) deliver to the Trustee
an Officers' Certificate stating such Securities or portions thereof have been
accepted for payment by the Company in accordance with the terms of this Section
3.8. The Paying Agent shall promptly (but in any case not later than ten (10)
calendar days after the Designated Event Payment Date) mail or deliver to each
tendering Noteholder an amount equal to the purchase price of the Securities
tendered by such Noteholder, and the Trustee shall promptly authenticate and
mail or deliver to such Noteholders a new Security equal in principal amount to
any unpurchased portion of the Security surrendered, if any; provided, that each
new Security shall be in a principal amount of $1,000 or an integral multiple
thereof. Any Securities not so accepted shall be promptly mailed or delivered by
or on behalf of the Company to the holder thereof. The Company will publicly
announce the results of the Designated Event Offer on, or as soon as practicable
after, the Designated Event Payment Date.

               (g) The Designated Event Offer shall be made by the Company in
compliance with all applicable provisions of the Exchange Act, and all
applicable tender offer rules promulgated thereunder, and shall include all
instructions and materials that the Company shall reasonably deem necessary to
enable such Noteholders to tender their Securities.

                                   ARTICLE IV

        Section 4.1 Payment of Securities. The Company shall pay the principal

all principal, premium, if any and interest then due and such Paying Agent is
not prohibited from paying such money to the Noteholders on that date pursuant
to the terms of this Indenture. To the extent lawful, the Company shall pay
interest (including post petition interest

                                       19
<PAGE>

in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest

Securities, compounded semiannually.

        Section 4.2 SEC Reports. Whether or not required by the rules and
regulations of the SEC, so long as any Securities are outstanding, the Company
will file with the SEC and, if requested, furnish to the Trustee and to the
holders of Securities all quarterly and annual financial information required to

"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations" and, with respect to annual information only, a report thereon by
the Company's certified independent accountants. Delivery of such reports,
information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and
the Trustee's receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any
information contained therein or determinable from information contained
therein, including the Company's compliance with any of its covenants hereunder
(as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers'
Certificates).

        Section 4.3 Compliance Certificate. The Company shall deliver to the
Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company, an
Officers' Certificate stating that a review of the activities of the Company and
its Subsidiaries during the preceding fiscal year has been made under the
supervision of the signing Officers with a view to determining whether the
Company has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled its obligations under, and
complied with the covenants and conditions contained in, this Indenture, and

best of his or her knowledge, the Company has kept, observed, performed and
fulfilled each and every covenant, and complied with the covenants and
conditions contained in this Indenture and is not in default in the performance
or observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions hereof (or, if a
Default or Event of Default shall have occurred, describing all such Defaults or
Events of Default of which he or she may have knowledge) and that to the best of
his or her knowledge no event has occurred and remains in existence by reason of
which payments on account of the principal or of interest, if any, on the
Securities are prohibited.

        One of the Officers signing such Officers' Certificate shall be either
the Company's principal executive officer, principal financial officer or
principal accounting officer.

        The Company will, so long as any of the Securities are outstanding,
deliver to the Trustee, forthwith upon becoming aware of:

               (a) any Default, Event of Default or default in the performance

               (b) any event of default under any other mortgage, indenture or
instrument described in Section 8.1(e), an Officers' Certificate specifying such

the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon,
plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of,
any stay, extension or usury law wherever

                                       20
<PAGE>

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 it may
lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such
law, and covenants that it will not, by resort to any such law, 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 has been
enacted.

Company will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in
full force and effect its corporate existence and the corporate, partnership or
other existence of each Subsidiary of the Company in accordance with the
respective organizational documents of each Subsidiary and the rights (charter
and statutory), licenses and franchises of the Company and its Subsidiaries;
provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to preserve any such
right, license or franchise, or the corporate, partnership or other existence of
any Subsidiary, 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
its Subsidiaries taken as a whole and that the loss thereof is not adverse in
any material respect to the Noteholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
corporate existence of any Subsidiary may also be terminated in connection with
any Board approved corporate restructuring or reorganization.

        Section 4.6 Taxes. The Company shall, and shall cause each of its
Subsidiaries to, pay prior to delinquency all taxes, assessments and
governmental levies, except as contested in good faith and by appropriate
proceedings.

shall have the right, in accordance with this Section 4.7 and Section 3.8
hereof, to require the Company to repurchase all or any part (equal to $1,000 or
an integral multiple thereof) of such holder's Securities pursuant to the terms
of Section 3.8 (the "Designated Event Offer") at a purchase price in cash equal
to 100% of the principal amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid
interest thereon, if any, to the Designated Event Payment Date, plus an amount
payable in cash equal to the Designated Event Payment.

        (b) Within 30 days following any Designated Event and on or before the
Commencement Date, the Company shall mail to each holder the notice provided by
Section 3.8(e).

        (c) Payment by the Company of the Designated Event Payment upon the
occurrence of a Designated Event is subject to the subordination provisions of
Article VI.

implements a stockholder rights plan, such rights plan shall provide that upon
conversion of the Securities the holders will receive, in addition to the Common
Stock issuable upon such conversion, the rights issued under such rights plan
(whether or not such rights have separated from the Common Stock at the time of
such conversion), provided that a holder of Securities shall be subject to all
of the terms and conditions of any such rights plan.

        Section 4.9 Incurrence of Senior Debt or Pari Passu Debt. During the
period beginning on the date of the execution of this Indenture and ending
February 28, 2003, the Company shall not (and shall cause its Subsidiaries not
to), without the prior written consent of the holders of Securities representing
at least sixty percent (60%) of the then outstanding principal amount of the
Securities, (i) incur any Indebtedness which is Senior Debt or incur any Pari
Passu Debt if the consideration for any such incurrence is other than cash or
(ii) incur for cash consideration any Indebtedness which is Senior Debt or incur
any Pari Passu Debt if the proceeds of such incurrence are to be used, directly
or indirectly, to prepay, redeem or retire any of the Remaining Debentures or
Existing Senior Subordinated Notes (or any refinancings thereof).

        Section 4.10 Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Equity
Securities. During the period (x) beginning on the date of the execution of this
Indenture and ending upon the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement
and (y) beginning on any date on which the Shelf Registration Statement ceases
to be effective or usable by the Purchasers (as defined in the Registration
Rights Agreement) for any reason for periods other than the mutually-agreed
blackout periods contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company
shall not (and shall cause its Subsidiaries not to), without the prior written
consent of the holders of Securities representing at least sixty percent (60%)
of the then outstanding principal amount of the Securities, incur any
Indebtedness or issue any equity securities, except for issuances of equity
securities pursuant to the existing requirements (as of the date hereof) of the
Company's obligations under (i) the Company's Existing Debentures and Existing
Senior Subordinated Notes outstanding on May 13, 2002; (ii) the Company's
employee benefit plans existing on May 13, 2002; and (iii) the Securities.

        Section 4.11 Senior Debt. Notwithstanding Sections 4.9 and 4.10 above,
nothing in this Indenture shall prohibit or restrict the Company (or any of its
Subsidiaries) from incurring Senior Debt and granting liens against the assets
of the Company and its Subsidiaries to secure such Senior Debt, provided that
neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall use any proceeds received
from the incurrence of any such secured Senior Debt, directly or indirectly, to
pay, redeem or retire any of the Remaining Debentures or Existing Senior
Subordinated Notes (or any refinancings thereof).

                                    ARTICLE V

                                   CONVERSION

        Section 5.1 Conversion Privilege. A holder of a Security may convert the
principal amount thereof (or any portion thereof that is an integral multiple of
$1,000) into fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock of the Company
at any time prior to the close of business (New York City time) on the date of
the Security's maturity at the Conversion Price then in effect, except that,
with respect to any Security called for redemption, such conversion right shall
terminate at the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the
redemption date (unless the Company shall default in making the redemption
payment when it becomes due, in which case the conversion right shall terminate
on the date such default is cured). A Security in respect of which a holder has
delivered an "Option of Noteholder to Elect Purchase" form appearing in Exhibit
A attached hereto exercising the option of such holder to

                                       22
<PAGE>

require the Company to purchase such Security may be converted only if the
notice of exercise is withdrawn as provided in Section 3.8. The number of shares
of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of a Security is determined by dividing
the principal amount of the Security converted by the conversion price in effect
on the Conversion Date (the "Conversion Price").

        The initial Conversion Price is stated in paragraph 10 of the Securities
and is subject to adjustment as provided in this Article V.

        Provisions of this Indenture that apply to conversion of all of a
Security also apply to conversion of a portion of it. A holder of Securities is
not entitled to any rights of a holder of Common Stock (other than as provided
in Section 4.8 hereof) until such holder of Securities has converted such
Securities into Common Stock, and only to the extent that such Securities are
deemed to have been converted into Common Stock under this Article V.

        Section 5.2 Conversion Procedure. To convert a Security, a holder must
satisfy the requirements in paragraph 10 of the Securities. The date on which
the holder satisfies all of those requirements is the conversion date (the
"Conversion Date"). As soon as practicable after the Conversion Date, the
Company shall deliver to the holder through the Conversion Agent a certificate
for the number of whole shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion and
a check for any fractional share determined pursuant to Section 5.3. Such
certificate shall bear any legends set forth on the converted Security, unless
and to the extent the restrictions contained in such legends no longer apply to
such Common Stock. The person in whose name the certificate is registered shall
become the stockholder of record on the Conversion Date and, as of such date,
such person's rights as a Noteholder shall cease; provided, however, that no
surrender of a Security on any date when the stock transfer books of the Company
shall be closed shall be effective to constitute the person entitled to receive
the shares of Common Stock upon such conversion as the stockholder of record of
such shares of Common Stock on such date, but such surrender shall be effective
to constitute the person entitled to receive such shares of Common Stock as the
stockholder of record thereof for all purposes at the close of business on the
next succeeding day on which such stock transfer books are open; provided
further, however, that such conversion shall be at the Conversion Price in
effect on the date that such Security shall have been surrendered for
conversion, as if the stock transfer books of the Company had not been closed.

        Except for any required payments of Additional Interest or Additional
Voluntary Conversion Interest, no payment or adjustment will be made for accrued
and unpaid interest on a converted Security or for dividends or distributions on
shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of a Security, but if any holder
surrenders a Security for conversion after the close of business on the record
date for the payment of an installment of interest and prior to the opening of
business on the next interest payment date, then, notwithstanding such
conversion, the interest payable on such interest payment date shall be paid to
the holder of such Security on such record date. In such event, such Security,
when surrendered for conversion, must be accompanied by payment in funds
acceptable to the Company of an amount equal to the interest (but in no
circumstance shall this requirement to pay interest upon conversion result in
any holder being required to pay any Additional Interest or Additional Voluntary
Conversion Interest to the Company) payable on such interest payment date on the
portion so converted unless the Security

                                       23
<PAGE>

has been called for redemption by the Company and a notice of redemption has
been mailed to the holders.

        If a holder converts more than one Security at the same time, the number
of whole shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion shall be based on
the total principal amount of Securities converted.

        Upon surrender of a Security that is converted in part, the Trustee
shall authenticate for the holder a new Security equal in principal amount to
the unconverted portion of the Security surrendered.

        Section 5.3 Fractional Shares. The Company will not issue fractional
shares of Common Stock upon conversion of a Security. In lieu thereof, the
Company will pay an amount in cash based upon the Daily Market Price of the
Common Stock on the trading day prior to the date of conversion.

        Section 5.4 Taxes on Conversion. The issuance of certificates for shares
of Common Stock upon the conversion of any Security shall be made without charge
to the converting Noteholder for such certificates or for any tax in respect of
the issuance of such certificates, and such certificates shall be issued in the
respective names of, or in such names as may be directed by, the holder or
holders of the converted Security; provided, however, that in the event that
certificates for shares of Common Stock are to be issued in a name other than
the name of the holder of the Security converted, such Security, when
surrendered for conversion, shall be accompanied by an instrument of transfer,
in form satisfactory to the Company, duly executed by the registered holder
thereof or his duly authorized attorney; and provided further, however, that the
Company shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of
any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such certificates in a
name other than that of the holder of the converted Security, and the Company
shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificates unless or until the
person or persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company
the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the
Company that such tax has been paid or is not applicable.

        Section 5.5 Company to Provide Stock. The Company shall at all times
reserve and keep available, free from preemptive rights, out of its authorized
but unissued Common Stock, solely for the purpose of issuance upon conversion of
Securities as herein provided, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to
permit the conversion of all outstanding Securities for shares of Common Stock.
All shares of Common Stock which may be issued upon conversion of the Securities
shall be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable when so
issued.

        Section 5.6 Adjustment of Conversion Price. The Conversion Price shall
be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:

               (a) In case the Company shall (1) pay a dividend in shares of
Common Stock to holders of Common Stock, (2) make a distribution in shares of
Common Stock to holders of Common Stock, (3) subdivide its outstanding shares of
Common Stock into a greater number of shares of Common Stock or (4) combine its
outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller

                                       24
<PAGE>

number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect immediately
prior to such action shall be adjusted so that the holder of any Security
thereafter surrendered for conversion shall be entitled to receive the number of
shares of Common Stock which he would have owned immediately following such
action had such Securities been converted immediately prior thereto. Any
adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a) shall become effective
immediately after the record date in the case of a dividend or distribution and
shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a
subdivision or combination. In the event of a reverse stock split of the Common
Stock, the Conversion Price shall be subject to further adjustment as provided
in Section 5.6(f) below.

               (b) In case the Company shall issue rights or warrants to
substantially all holders of Common Stock entitling them (for a period
commencing no earlier than the record date for the determination of holders of
Common Stock entitled to receive such rights or warrants and expiring not more
than 45 days after such record date) to subscribe for or purchase shares of
Common Stock (or securities convertible into Common Stock) at a price per share
less than the current market price per share (as determined pursuant to
subsection (g) below) of the Common Stock on such record date, the Conversion
Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by
multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such record date
by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding on such record date, plus the number of shares of Common Stock
which the aggregate offering price of the offered shares of Common Stock (or the
aggregate conversion price of the convertible securities so offered) would
purchase at such current market price, and of which the denominator shall be the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such record date plus the number
of additional shares of Common Stock offered (or into which the convertible
securities so offered are convertible). Such adjustments shall become effective
immediately after such record date.

               (c) In case the Company shall distribute to all holders of Common
Stock shares of any class of Capital Stock of the Company other than Common
Stock, evidences of indebtedness or other assets (other than cash dividends out
of current or retained earnings), or shall distribute to substantially all
holders of Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for securities (other
than those securities referred to in subsection (b) above), then in each such
case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the
price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior
to the date of such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be
the current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f)
below) of the Common Stock on the record date mentioned below less the then fair
market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall
be conclusive evidence of such fair market value and described in a Board
Resolution) of the portion of the assets so distributed or of such subscription
rights or warrants applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the
denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock.
Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the record date for the
determination of the holders of Common Stock entitled to receive such
distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Company shall
distribute rights or warrants to subscribe for additional shares of the
Company's Capital Stock (other than the Common Stock referred to in subsection
(b) above) ("Rights") pro rata to holders of Common Stock, the Company may, in
lieu of making any adjustment pursuant to this Section 5.6, make proper
provision so that each holder of a Security who converts such Security (or any
portion

                                       25
<PAGE>

thereof) after the record date for such distribution and prior to the expiration
or redemption of the Rights shall be entitled to receive upon such conversion,
in addition to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion (the
"Conversion Shares"), a number of Rights to be determined as follows: (i) if
such conversion occurs on or prior to the date for the distribution to the
holders of Rights of separate certificates evidencing such Rights (the
"Distribution Date"), the same number of Rights to which a holder of a number of
shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Conversion Shares is entitled at
the time of such conversion in accordance with the terms and provisions of and
applicable to the Rights; and (ii) if such conversion occurs after the
Distribution Date, the same number of Rights to which a holder of the number of
shares of Common Stock into which the principal amount of the Security so
converted was convertible immediately prior to the Distribution Date would have
been entitled on the Distribution Date in accordance with the terms and
provisions of and applicable to the Rights.

               (d) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, at any
time distribute to all holders of its Common Stock cash (including any
distributions of cash out of current or retained earnings of the Company but
excluding any cash that is distributed as part of a distribution requiring a
Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section) in an
aggregate amount that, together with the sum of (x) the aggregate amount of any
other distributions to all holders of its Common Stock made in cash plus (y) all
Excess Payments, in each case made within the 12 months preceding the date fixed
for determining the stockholders entitled to such distribution (the
"Distribution Record Date") and in respect of which no Conversion Price
adjustment pursuant to paragraphs (c) or (e) of this Section or this paragraph
(d) has been made, exceeds 15% of the product of the current market price per
share (determined as provided in paragraph (f) of this Section) of the Common
Stock on the Distribution Record Date times the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding on the Distribution Record Date (excluding shares held in the
treasury of the Company), the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same
shall equal the price determined by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect
immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Conversion Price reduction
contemplated by this paragraph (d) by a fraction of which the numerator shall be
the current market price per share (determined as provided in paragraph (f) of
this Section) of the Common Stock on the Distribution Record Date less the
amount of such cash and other consideration (including any Excess Payments) so
distributed applicable to one share (based on the pro rata portion of the
aggregate amount of such cash and other consideration (including any Excess
Payments), divided by the shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Distribution
Record Date) of Common Stock and the denominator shall be such current market
price per share (determined as provided in paragraph (f) of this Section) of the
Common Stock on the Distribution Record Date, such reduction to become effective
immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the
Distribution Record Date.

               (e) In case a tender offer or other negotiated transaction made
by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company for all or any portion of the
Common Stock shall be consummated, if an Excess Payment is made in respect of
such tender offer or other negotiated transaction and the amount of such Excess
Payment, together with the sum of (x) the aggregate amount of all Excess
Payments plus (y) the aggregate amount of all distributions to all holders of
the Common Stock made in cash (specifically including distributions of cash out
of retained earnings), in each case made within the 12 months preceding the date
of payment of such current negotiated transaction consideration or expiration of
such current tender offer, as the case may be

                                       26
<PAGE>

(the "Purchase Date"), and as to which no adjustment pursuant to paragraph (c)
or paragraph (d) of this Section or this paragraph (e) has been made, exceeds
15% of the product of the current market price per share (determined as provided
in paragraph (f) of this Section) of the Common Stock on the Purchase Date times
the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares
but excluding any shares held in the treasury of the Company) on the Purchase
Date, the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall equal the
price determined by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately
prior to the effectiveness of the Conversion Price reduction contemplated by
this paragraph (e) by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the current
market price per share (determined as provided in paragraph (f) of this Section)
of the Common Stock on the Purchase Date less the amount of such Excess Payments
and such cash distributions, if any, applicable to one share (based on the pro
rata portion of the aggregate amount of such Excess Payments and such cash
distributions, divided by the shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Purchase
Date) of Common Stock and the denominator shall be such current market price per
share (determined as provided in paragraph (f) of this Section) of the Common
Stock on the Purchase Date, such reduction to become effective immediately prior
to the opening of business on the day following the Purchase Date.

               (f) If the Company effects a reverse stock split of the Common
Stock prior to 90 days after the SEC has declared effective the Shelf
Registration Statement, the Conversion Price related to the Securities shall be
adjusted first as provided in Section 5.6(a) above, and then shall be further
adjusted on the 15th day following the expiration of the Pricing Period (as
defined below) by multiplying the existing Conversion Price by a fraction, the
numerator of which shall be the volume weighted average price of the Common
Stock for the period beginning on the 11th trading day following the effective
date of the reverse stock split and ending on the 30th trading day following the
effective date of the reverse stock split (such period being the "Pricing
Period") and the denominator of which shall be the volume weighted average price
of the Common Stock for the five trading day period ending on the earlier of (i)
the date that the Company publicly discloses its intention to effectuate (or
consider) such reverse stock split through a press release, proxy materials or
other means or (ii) the date that the Company publicly discloses that it has
received any notice or other communication from the NYSE to the effect that the
Common Stock will be de-listed.

               (g) The current market price per share of Common Stock on any
date shall be deemed to be the average of the Daily Market Prices for the
shorter of (i) 30 consecutive Business Days ending on the last full trading day
on the exchange or market referred to in determining such Daily Market Prices
prior to the time of determination or (ii) the period commencing on the date
next succeeding the first public announcement of the issuance of such rights or
such warrants or such other distribution or such negotiated transaction through
such last full trading day on the exchange or market referred to in determining
such Daily Market Prices prior to the time of determination.

               (h) In any case in which this Section 5.6 shall require that an
adjustment be made immediately following a record date for an event, the Company
may elect to defer, until such event, issuing to the holder of any Security
converted after such record date the shares of Common Stock and other Capital
Stock of the Company issuable upon such conversion over and above the shares of
Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company issuable upon such

                                       27
<PAGE>

conversion only on the basis of the Conversion Price prior to adjustment; and,
in lieu of the shares the issuance of which is so deferred, the Company shall
issue or cause its stock transfer agent to issue due bills or other appropriate
evidence of the right to receive such shares.

        Section 5.7 No Adjustment. No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall
be required until cumulative adjustments amount to 1% or more of the Conversion
Price as last adjusted; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason
of this Section 5.7 are not required to be made shall be carried forward and
taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this
Article V shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one hundredth of a
share, as the case may be. No adjustment need be made for rights to purchase
Common Stock pursuant to a Company plan for reinvestment of dividends or
interest. No adjustment need be made for a change in the par value or no par
value of the Common Stock.

        Section 5.8   Other Adjustments.

        (a) In the event that, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to
Section 5.6 above, the holder of any Security thereafter surrendered for
conversion shall become entitled to receive any shares of Capital Stock of the
Company other than shares of its Common Stock, thereafter the Conversion Price
of such other shares so receivable upon conversion of any Securities shall be
subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly
equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to Common Stock
contained in this Article V.

        (b) In the event that shares of Common Stock are not delivered after the
expiration of any of the rights or warrants referred to in Section 5.6(b) and
Section 5.6(c) hereof, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted to the
Conversion Price which would otherwise be in effect had the adjustment made upon
the issuance of such rights or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of
only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered.

        Section 5.9 Adjustments for Tax Purposes. The Company may, at its
option, make such reductions in the Conversion Price, in addition to those
required by Section 5.6 above, as it determines to be advisable in order that
any stock dividend, subdivision of shares, distribution of rights to purchase
stock or securities or distribution of securities convertible into or
exchangeable for stock made by the Company to its stockholders will not be
taxable to the recipients thereof.

        Section 5.10 Adjustments by the Company. The Company from time to time
may, to the extent permitted by law, reduce the Conversion Price by any amount
for any period of at least 20 days, in which case the Company shall give at
least 15 days notice of such reduction in accordance with Section 5.11, if the
Board of Directors has made a determination that such reduction would be in the
best interests of the Company, which determination shall be conclusive.

        Section 5.11 Notice of Adjustment. Whenever the Conversion Price is
adjusted, the Company shall promptly mail to Noteholders at the addresses
appearing on the Registrar's books a notice of the adjustment and file with the
Trustee an Officers' Certificate briefly stating the facts requiring the
adjustment and the manner of computing it. The certificate shall be conclusive
evidence of the correctness of such adjustment.

                                       28
<PAGE>

            Section 5.12 Notice of Certain Transactions. In the event that:

            (1) the Company takes any action which would require an adjustment
in the Conversion Price;

            (2) the Company takes any action that would require a supplemental
indenture pursuant to Section 5.13; or

            (3) there is a dissolution or liquidation of the Company;

a holder of a Security may wish to convert such Security into shares of Common
Stock prior to the record date for or the effective date of the transaction so
that he may receive the rights, warrants, securities or assets which a holder of
shares of Common Stock on that date may receive. Therefore, the Company shall
mail to Noteholders at the addresses appearing on the Registrar's books and the
Trustee a notice stating the proposed record or effective date, as the case may
be. The Company shall mail the notice at least 15 days before such date;
however, failure to mail such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the
validity of any transaction referred to in clause (1), (2) or (3) of this
Section 5.12.

        Section 5.13 Effect of Reclassifications, Consolidations, Mergers or
Sales on Conversion Privilege. If any of the following shall occur, namely: (i)
any reclassification or change of outstanding shares of Common Stock issuable
upon conversion of Securities (other than a change in par value, or from par
value to no par value, or from no par value to par value, or as a result of a
subdivision or combination), (ii) any consolidation or merger to which the
Company is a party other than a merger in which the Company is the continuing
corporation and which does not result in any reclassification of, or change
(other than a change in name, or par value, or from par value to no par value,
or from no par value to par value or as a result of a subdivision or
combination) in, outstanding shares of Common Stock or (iii) any sale or
conveyance of all or substantially all of the property or business of the
Company as an entirety, then the Company, or such successor or purchasing
corporation, as the case may be, shall, as a condition precedent to such
reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, execute and
deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture in form satisfactory to the
Trustee providing that the holder of each Security then outstanding shall have
the right to convert such Security into the kind and amount of shares of stock
and other securities and property (including cash) receivable upon such
reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance by a holder
of the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion of such
Security immediately prior to such reclassification, change, consolidation,
merger, sale or conveyance. Such supplemental indenture shall provide for
adjustments of the Conversion Price which shall be as nearly equivalent as may
be practicable to the adjustments of the Conversion Price provided for in this
Article V. The foregoing, however, shall not in any way affect the right a
holder of a Security may otherwise have, pursuant to clause (ii) of the last
sentence of subsection (c) of Section 5.6, to receive Rights upon conversion of
a Security. If, in the case of any such consolidation, merger, sale or
conveyance, the stock or other securities and property (including cash)
receivable thereupon by a holder of Common Stock includes shares of stock or
other securities and property of a corporation other than the successor or
purchasing corporation, as the case may be, in such consolidation, merger, sale
or conveyance, then such supplemental indenture shall also be executed by such
other corporation and shall contain such additional

                                       29
<PAGE>

provisions to protect the interests of the holders of the Securities as the
Board of Directors of the Company shall reasonably consider necessary by reason
of the foregoing. The provision of this Section 5.13 shall similarly apply to
successive consolidations, mergers, sales or conveyances.

        In the event the Company shall execute a supplemental indenture pursuant
to this Section 5.13, the Company shall promptly file with the Trustee an
Officers' Certificate briefly stating the reasons therefor, the kind or amount
of shares of stock or securities or property (including cash) receivable by
holders of the Securities upon the conversion of their Securities after any such
reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance and any
adjustment to be made with respect thereto.

        Section 5.14 Trustee's Disclaimer. The Trustee has no duty to determine
when an adjustment under this Article V should be made, how it should be made or
what such adjustment should be, but may accept as conclusive evidence of the
correctness of any such adjustment, and shall be protected in relying upon the
Officers' Certificate with respect thereto which the Company is obligated to
file with the Trustee pursuant to Section 5.11. The Trustee makes no
representation as to the validity or value of any securities or assets issued
upon conversion of Securities, and the Trustee shall not be responsible for the
Company's failure to comply with any provisions of this Article V.

        The Trustee shall not be under any responsibility to determine the
correctness of any provisions contained in any supplemental indenture executed
pursuant to Section 5.13, but may accept as conclusive evidence of the
correctness thereof, and shall be protected in relying upon, the Officers'
Certificate with respect thereto which the Company is obligated to file with the
Trustee pursuant to Section 5.13.

        Section 5.15  Automatic Conversion by the Company.

               (a) The Company may elect to automatically convert the Securities
into Common Stock at the Conversion Price (an "Automatic Conversion") at any
time prior to Maturity if the Daily Market Price of the Company's Common Stock
has exceeded 200% of the Conversion Price for at least 20 Trading Days during a
30-day Trading Day period ending within five Trading Days prior to the notice of
Automatic Conversion.

               (b) In the event that the date that the Securities will be
automatically converted (the "Automatic Conversion Date") occurs prior to
Maturity, the Company will pay Additional Interest (as defined below) in cash
or, at the Company's election, in Common Stock. In the event that the Company
elects to pay Additional Interest, if any, on the Securities in Common Stock
upon an Automatic Conversion, the shares of Common Stock will be valued at 90%
of the average of the Daily Market Price for the five Trading Days immediately
preceding the second Trading Day preceding the Automatic Conversion Date.
"Additional Interest" shall be equal to the sum of (i) $200.625 per each $1,000
principal amount of Securities and (ii) the amount of interest payable per each
$1,000 principal amount of Securities from the date of issuance to June 30,
2002, less any interest actually paid or provided for with respect to such
Securities on or prior to the Automatic Conversion Date.

                                       30
<PAGE>

               (i) The shares of Common Stock deliverable in payment of the
Additional Interest shall have a fair market value as of the Automatic
Conversion Date of not less than the Additional Interest as determined by this
Section 5.15. For purposes of this Section 5.15, the fair market value of shares
of Common Stock shall be determined by the Company and shall be equal to 90% of
the average of the Daily Market Price for the five consecutive Trading Days
immediately preceding the second Trading Day prior to the Automatic Conversion
Date;

               (ii) Additional Interest shall be paid only in cash in the event
any shares of Common Stock to be issued for the payment of Additional Interest
in the Securities hereunder (i) require registration under any federal
securities law before such shares may be freely transferable without being
subject to any transfer restrictions under the Securities Act upon an Automatic
Conversion and if such registration is not completed or does not become
effective prior to the Automatic Conversion Date, and/or (ii) require
registration with or approval of any governmental authority under any state law
or any other federal law before such shares may be validly issued or delivered
upon an Automatic Conversion and if such registration is not completed or does
not become effective or such approval is not obtained prior to the Automatic
Conversion Date;

               (iii) The Common Stock is, or shall have been, approved for
listing on the NYSE, the American Stock Exchange (the "Amex") or for quotation
on the NASDAQ Stock Market (the "NASDAQ") prior to the Automatic Conversion
Date; and

               (iv) All shares of Common Stock which may be issued with respect
to the payment of interest on the Securities will be issued out of the Company's
authorized but unissued Common Stock and will, upon issue, be duly and validly
issued and fully paid and non-assessable and free of any preemptive rights.

            If all of the conditions set forth in this Section 5.15(b) are not
satisfied in accordance with the terms thereof, the interest required to be paid
or duly provided for by the Company pursuant to this Section shall be paid by
the Company only in cash.

            (c) Unless the Company shall have theretofore called for redemption
all of the outstanding Securities, the Company or, at the request and expense of
the Company, the Trustee, shall give to all holders of Securities notice (the
"Automatic Conversion Notice") of the Automatic Conversion not more than 30 days
but not less than 15 days prior to the Automatic Conversion Date. The Company
shall also deliver a copy of such notice of an Automatic Conversion to the
Trustee.

            Each Automatic Conversion Notice shall state:

               (i) the Automatic Conversion Date,

               (ii) whether the Additional Interest, if any, shall be paid by
the Company in cash or by delivery of shares of Common Stock,

               (iii) the place or places where such Securities are to be
surrendered for conversion and accrued Additional Interest, if any, and

                                       31
<PAGE>

               (iv) the Conversion Price then in effect.

            If any of the foregoing provisions or other provisions of this
Section are inconsistent with applicable law, such law shall govern.

            (d) In the event of an Automatic Conversion, the Company shall issue
and deliver to each holder of Securities as promptly after the Automatic
Conversion Date as practicable in accordance with the provisions of this Article
V:

                (i) a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares
of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such holder's Securities and in
connection with the payment of the Additional Interest, if any, due on such
Securities, and

                (ii) any cash due (x) in respect of any fractional shares of
Common Stock otherwise issuable upon conversion and (y) in connection with the
payment of the Additional Interest, if any, due on such Securities.

            (e) All Securities subject to the Automatic Conversion shall be
delivered to the Trustee to be canceled at the direction of the Trustee, which
shall dispose of the same as provided in Section 2.11 hereof.

        Section 5.16  Voluntary Conversion by Holders.

               (a) If a holder elects to voluntarily convert Securities at any
time prior to Maturity, such holder will receive a payment of additional
interest equal to Additional Interest (as defined in Section 5.15(b))
("Additional Voluntary Conversion Interest") in cash or, at the Company's
election, in Common Stock, as long as the Company has not previously mailed an
Automatic Conversion Notice. In the event that the Company elects to pay
Additional Voluntary Conversion Interest, if any, on the Securities in Common
Stock upon a voluntary conversion, the shares of Common Stock will be valued at
90% of the average of the Daily Market Price for the five Trading Days
immediately preceding the second Trading Day preceding the Conversion Date,
subject to a minimum valuation of the Conversion Price, less any interest
actually paid or provided for with respect to such Securities prior to the date
of such voluntary conversion.

                   (i) Additional Voluntary Conversion Interest shall be paid
only in cash in the event any shares of Common Stock to be issued for the
payment of Additional Voluntary Conversion Interest in the Securities hereunder
(i) require registration under any federal securities law before such shares may
be freely transferable without being subject to any transfer restrictions under
the Securities Act upon a voluntary conversion and if such registration is not
completed or does not become effective prior to the date of such voluntary
conversion, and/or (ii) require registration with or approval of any
governmental authority under any state law or any other federal law before such
shares may be validly issued or delivered upon a voluntary conversion and if
such registration is not completed or does not become effective or such approval
is not obtained prior to the date of such voluntary conversion;

                   (ii) The Common Stock is, or shall have been, approved for
listing on the NYSE, Amex or for quotation on NASDAQ prior to the date of the
voluntary conversion; and

                                       32
<PAGE>

                   (iii) All shares of Common Stock which may be issued with
respect to the payment of interest on the Securities will be issued out of the
Company's authorized but unissued Common Stock and, will upon issue, be duly and
validly issued and fully paid and non-assessable and free of any preemptive
rights.

               If all of the conditions set forth in this Section 5.16(a) are
not satisfied in accordance with the terms thereof, the interest required to be
paid or duly provided for by the Company pursuant to this Section shall be paid
by the Company only in cash.

               (b) In the event of a voluntary conversion by a holder, the
Company shall issue and deliver a certificate or certificates for the number of
full shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Securities submitted
for conversion and the Additional Voluntary Conversion Interest, if any, due on
such Securities along with any cash in respect of any fractional shares of
Common Stock otherwise issuable upon conversion or in the event that the Company
elects to pay Additional Voluntary Conversion Interest, if any, in Common Stock
instead of cash, for payment to the holder as promptly after the date of the
voluntary conversion as practicable in accordance with the provisions of this
Article V.

               (c) All Securities submitted for voluntary conversion shall be
delivered to the Trustee to be canceled at the direction of the Trustee, which
shall dispose of the same as provided in Section 2.11 hereof.

                                   ARTICLE VI

                                  SUBORDINATION

        Section 6.1 Agreement to Subordinate. The Company, for itself and its
successors, and each Noteholder, by his acceptance of Securities, agree that the
payment of the principal of or interest on or any other amounts due on the
Securities is subordinated in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner
stated in this Article VI, to the prior payment in full of all existing and
future Senior Debt.

        Section 6.2 No Payment on Securities if Senior Debt in Default. Anything
in this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, no payment on account of
principal of or redemption or repurchase of, interest on or other amounts due on
the Securities, including any payments on a Designated Event Offer, and no
redemption, purchase, or other acquisition of the Securities (including, without
limitation, upon a Designated Event), shall be made by or on behalf of the
Company (i) unless full payment of amounts then due for principal and interest
and of all other amounts then due on all Senior Debt has been made or duly
provided for pursuant to the terms of the instrument governing such Senior Debt,
(ii) if, at the time of such payment, redemption, purchase or other acquisition,
or immediately after giving effect thereto, there shall exist under any Senior
Debt, or any agreement pursuant to which any Senior Debt is issued, any default,
which default shall not have been cured or waived and which default shall have
resulted in the full amount of such Senior Debt being declared due and payable
or (iii) if, at the time of such payment, redemption, purchase or other
acquisition, the Trustee shall have received written notice from a
Representative of the holders of Designated Senior Debt (a "Payment Blockage
Notice") that there exists under such Designated Senior Debt, or any agreement
pursuant to

                                       33
<PAGE>

which such Designated Senior Debt is issued, any default, which default shall
not have been cured or waived, permitting the holders thereof to declare any
amounts of such Designated Senior Debt due and payable, but only for the period
(the "Payment Blockage Period") commencing on the date of receipt of the Payment
Blockage Notice and ending (unless earlier terminated by notice given to the
Trustee by a Representative of the holders of such Designated Senior Debt) on
the earlier of (a) the date on which such event of default shall have been cured
or waived or (b) 180 days from the receipt of the Payment Blockage Notice.
Notwithstanding the provisions described in the immediately preceding sentence
(other than in clauses (i) and (ii)), unless the holders of such Designated
Senior Debt or the Representative of such holders shall have accelerated the
maturity of such Designated Senior Debt, the Company may resume payments on the
Securities after the end of such Payment Blockage Period. Not more than one
Payment Blockage Notice may be given in any consecutive 360-day period
irrespective of the number of defaults with respect to Senior Debt during such
period.

        In the event that, notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6.2,
payments are made by or on behalf of the Company in contravention of the
provisions of this Section 6.2, such payments shall be held by the Trustee, any
Paying Agent or the holders, as applicable, in trust for the benefit of, and
shall be paid over to and delivered to, the Representative of the holders of
Senior Debt or the trustee under the indenture or other agreement (if any),
pursuant to which any instruments evidencing any Senior Debt may have been
issued for application to the payment of all Senior Debt ratably according to
the aggregate amounts remaining unpaid to the extent necessary to pay all Senior
Debt in full in accordance with the terms of such Senior Debt, after giving
effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to or for the holders of Senior
Debt.

        The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee and any
Paying Agent of any default or event of default under any Senior Debt or under
any agreement pursuant to which any Senior Debt may have been issued. The
Trustee and the Paying Agent may assume that all payments have been made with
respect to all Senior Debt unless the Trustee or the Paying Agent, as the case
may be, has received written notice that payment has not been made and three (3)
Business Days have expired.

        Section 6.3 Distribution on Acceleration of Securities; Dissolution and
Reorganization; Subrogation of Securities.

            (a) If the Securities are declared due and payable because of the
occurrence of an Event of Default, the Company shall give prompt written notice
to the holders of all Senior Debt or to the trustee(s) for such Senior Debt of
such acceleration. The Company may not pay the principal of, premium, if any, or
interest on or any other amounts due on the Securities until five days after
such holders or trustee(s) of Senior Debt receive such notice and, thereafter,
the Company may pay the principal of or interest on or any other amounts due on
the Securities only if the provisions of this Article VI permit such payment.

            (b) Upon (i) any acceleration of the principal amount due on the
Securities because of an Event of Default or (ii) any distribution of assets of
the Company upon any dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization of
the Company (whether in bankruptcy, insolvency or receivership proceedings or
upon an assignment for the benefit of creditors or any other dissolution,
winding up, liquidation or reorganization of the Company):

                                       34
<PAGE>

                (1) the holders of all Senior Debt shall first be entitled to
receive payment in full of the principal thereof, the interest thereon and any
other amounts due thereon before the holders are entitled to receive payment on
account of the principal of or interest on or any other amounts due on the
Securities;

                (2) any payment or distribution of assets of the Company of any
kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities (other than
securities of the Company as reorganized or readjusted or securities of the
Company or any other corporation provided for by a plan of reorganization or
readjustment the payment of which is subordinate, at least to the extent
provided in this Article with respect to the Securities, to the payment in full
without diminution or modification by such plan of all Senior Debt), to which
the holders or the Trustee would be entitled except for the provisions of this
Article, shall be paid by the liquidating trustee or agent or other person
making such a payment or distribution, directly to the holders of Senior Debt
(or their representatives(s) or trustee(s) acting on their behalf), ratably
according to the aggregate amounts remaining unpaid on account of the principal
of or interest on and other amounts due on the Senior Debt held or represented
by each, to the extent necessary to make payment in full of all Senior Debt
remaining unpaid, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution
to the holders of such Senior Debt; and

                (3) in the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any
payment or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character,
whether in cash, property or securities (other than securities of the Company as
reorganized or readjusted, or securities of the Company or any other corporation
provided for by a plan of reorganization or readjustment the payment of which is
subordinate, at least to the extent provided in this Article with respect to the
Securities, to the payment in full without diminution or modification by such
plan of Senior Debt), shall be received by the Trustee or the holders before all
Senior Debt is paid in full, such payment or distribution shall be held in trust
for the benefit of, and be paid over to upon request by a holder of the Senior
Debt, the holders of the Senior Debt remaining unpaid (or their representatives)
or trustee(s) acting on their behalf, ratably as aforesaid, for application to
the payment of such Senior Debt until all such Senior Debt shall have been paid
in full, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to the
holders of such Senior Debt.

            Subject to the payment in full of all Senior Debt, the holders shall
be subrogated to the rights of the holders of Senior Debt to receive payments or
distributions of cash, property or securities of the Company applicable to the
Senior Debt until the principal of, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on
the Securities shall be paid in full and, for purposes of such subrogation, no
such payments or distributions to the holders of Senior Debt of cash, property
or securities which otherwise would have been payable or distributable to
holders shall, as between the Company, its creditors other than the holders of
Senior Debt, and the holders, be deemed to be a payment by the Company to or on
account of the Senior Debt, it being understood that the provisions of this
Article are and are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative
rights of the holders, on the one hand, and the holders of Senior Debt, on the
other hand.

            Nothing contained in this Article or elsewhere in this Indenture or
in the Securities is intended to or shall (i) impair, as between the Company and
its creditors other than the holders of Senior Debt, the obligation of the
Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay to the holders the
principal of, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on the Securities as

                                       35
<PAGE>

and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms of
the Securities, (ii) affect the relative rights of the holders and creditors of
the Company other than holders of Senior Debt or, as between the Company and the
Trustee, the obligations of the Company to the Trustee, or (iii) prevent the
Trustee or the holders from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by
applicable law upon default under this Indenture, subject to the rights, if any,
under this Article of the holders of Senior Debt in respect of cash, property
and securities of the Company received upon the exercise of any such remedy.

            Upon distribution of assets of the Company referred to in this
Article, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 9.1 hereof, and the
holders shall be entitled to rely upon a certificate of the liquidating trustee
or agent or other person making any distribution to the Trustee or to the
holders for the purpose of ascertaining the persons entitled to participate in
such distribution, the holders of the Senior Debt and other indebtedness of the
Company, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or
distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article.
The Trustee, however, shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the
holders of Senior Debt. Nothing contained in this Article or elsewhere in this
Indenture, or in any of the Securities, shall prevent the good faith application
by the Trustee of any moneys which shall have been deposited with it hereunder,
prior to its receipt of written notice of facts which would prohibit such
application, for the purpose of the payment of or on account of the principal
of, premium, if any, or interest on the Securities unless, prior to the date on
which such application is made by the Trustee, the Trustee shall be charged with
actual notice under Section 6.3(d) hereof of the facts which would prohibit the
making of such application.

            (c) The provisions of this Article shall not be applicable to any
cash, properties or securities received by the Trustee or by any holder that are
received as a holder of Senior Debt and nothing in Section 9.11 hereof or
elsewhere in this indenture shall deprive the Trustee or such holder of any of
its rights as such holder.

            (d) The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of
any fact known to the Company which would prohibit the making of any payment of
money to or by the Trustee in respect of the Securities pursuant to the
provisions of this Article. The Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section
9.1 hereof, shall be entitled to assume that no such fact exists unless the
Company or any holder of Senior Debt or any trustee therefor has given written
notice thereof to the Trustee. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article or
any other provisions of this indenture, the Trustee shall not be charged with
knowledge of the existence of any fact which would prohibit the making of any
payment of moneys to or by the Trustee in respect of the Securities pursuant to
the provisions in this Article, unless and until three Business Days after the
Trustee shall have received written notice thereof from the Company or any
holder or holders of Senior Debt or from any trustee therefor; and, prior to the
receipt of any such written notice, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of
Section 9.1 hereof, shall be entitled in all respects conclusively to assume
that no such facts exist; provided that if on a date not less than three
Business Days immediately preceding the date upon which, by the terms hereof,
any such moneys may become payable for any purpose (including, without
limitation, the principal of or interest on any Security), the Trustee shall not
have received with respect to such moneys the notice provided for in this
Section 6.3(d), then anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding,
the Trustee shall have full power and authority to receive such moneys and to

                                       36
<PAGE>

apply the same to the purpose for which they were received, and shall not be
affected by any notice to the contrary which may be received by it on or after
such prior date.

            The Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the delivery
to it of a written notice by a person representing himself to be a holder of
Senior Debt (or a trustee on behalf of such holder) to establish that such
notice has been given by a holder of Senior Debt (or a trustee on behalf of any
such holder or holders). In the event that the Trustee determines in good faith
that further evidence is required with respect to the right of any person as a
holder of Senior Debt to participate in any payment or distribution pursuant to
this Article, the Trustee may request such person to furnish evidence to the
reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee as to the amount of Senior Debt held by
such person, the extent to which such person is entitled to participate in such
payment or distribution and any other facts pertinent to the rights of such
person under this Article, and, if such evidence is not furnished, the Trustee
may defer any payment to such person pending judicial determination as to the
right of such person to receive such payment; nor shall the Trustee be charged
with knowledge of the curing or waiving of any default of the character
specified in Section 6.2 hereof or that any event or any condition preventing
any payment in respect of the Securities shall have ceased to exist, unless and
until the Trustee shall have received written notice to such effect.

            (e) The provisions of this Section 6.3 applicable to the Trustee
shall (unless the context requires otherwise) also apply to any Paying Agent for
the Company.

        Section 6.4 Reliance by Senior Debt on Subordination Provisions. Each
holder of any Security by his acceptance thereof acknowledges and agrees that
the foregoing subordination provisions are, and are intended to be, an
inducement and a consideration for each holder of any Senior Debt, whether such
Senior Debt was created or acquired before or after the issuance of the
Securities, to acquire and continue to hold, or to continue to hold, such Senior
Debt, and such holder of Senior Debt shall be deemed conclusively to have relied
on such subordination provisions in acquiring and continuing to hold, or in
continuing to hold, such Senior Debt. Notice of any default in the payment of
any Senior Debt, except as expressly stated in this Article, and notice of
acceptance of the provisions hereof are hereby expressly waived. Except as
otherwise expressly provided herein, no waiver, forbearance or release by any
holder of Senior Debt under such Senior Debt or under this Article shall
constitute a release of any of the obligations or liabilities of the Trustee or
holders of the Securities provided in this Article.

        Section 6.5 No Waiver of Subordination Provisions. Except as otherwise
expressly provided herein, no right of any present or future holder of any
Senior Debt to enforce subordination as herein provided shall at any time in any
way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of the
Company or by any act or failure to act, in good faith, by any such holder, or
by any noncompliance by the Company with the terms, provisions and covenants of
this Indenture, regardless of any knowledge thereof any such holder may have or
be otherwise charged with.

        Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing paragraph,
the holders of Senior Debt may, at any time and from time to time, without the
consent of, or notice to, the Trustee or the holders of the Securities, without
incurring responsibility to the holders of the Securities and without impairing
or releasing the subordination provided in this Article VI or the

                                       37
<PAGE>

obligations hereunder of the holders of the Securities to the holders of Senior
Debt, do any one or more of the following: (i) change the manner, place or terms
of payment of, or renew or alter, Senior Debt, or otherwise amend or supplement
in any manner Senior Debt or any instrument evidencing the same or any agreement
under which Senior Debt, is outstanding; (ii) sell, exchange, release or
otherwise dispose of any property pledged, mortgaged or otherwise securing
Senior Debt; (iii) release any person liable in any manner for the collection of
Senior Debt; and (iv) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against the
Company or any other person.

        Section 6.6 Trustee's Relation to Senior Debt. The Trustee in its
individual capacity shall be entitled to all the rights set forth in this
Article in respect of any Senior Debt at any time held by it, to the same extent
as any holder of Senior Debt, and nothing in Section 9.11 hereof or elsewhere in
this Indenture shall deprive the Trustee of any of its rights as such holder.

        With respect to the holders of Senior Debt, the Trustee undertakes to
perform or to observe only such of its covenants and obligations, as are
specifically set forth in this Article, and no implied covenants or obligations
with respect to the holders of Senior Debt shall be read into this Indenture
against the Trustee. The Trustee shall not owe any fiduciary duty to the holders
of Senior Debt but shall have only such obligations to such holders as are
expressly set forth in this Article.

        Each holder of a Security by his acceptance thereof authorizes and
directs the Trustee on his behalf to take such action as may be necessary or
appropriate to effectuate the subordination provided in this Article and
appoints the Trustee his attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes,
including, in the event of any dissolution, winding up or liquidation or
reorganization under any applicable bankruptcy law of the Company (whether in
bankruptcy, insolvency or receivership proceedings or otherwise), the timely
filing of a claim for the unpaid balance of such holder's Securities in the form
required in such proceedings and the causing of such claim to be approved. If
the Trustee does not file a claim or proof of debt in the form required in such
proceedings prior to 30 days before the expiration of the time to file such
claims or proofs, then any holder or holders of Senior Debt or their
representative or representatives shall have the right to demand, sue for,
collect, receive and receipt for the payments and distributions in respect of
the Securities which are required to be paid or delivered to the holders of
Senior Debt as provided in this Article and to file and prove all claims
therefor and to take all such other action in the name of the holders or
otherwise, as such holders of Senior Debt or representative thereof may
determine to be necessary or appropriate for the enforcement of the provisions
of this Article.

        Section 6.7 Other Provisions Subject Hereto. Except as expressly stated
in this Article, notwithstanding anything contained in this Indenture to the
contrary, all the provisions of this Indenture and the Securities are subject to
the provisions of this Article. However, nothing in this Article shall apply to
or adversely affect the claims of, or payment to, the Trustee pursuant to
Section 9.7. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure to make a payment on
account of principal of or interest on the Securities by reason of any provision
of this Article VI shall not be construed as preventing the occurrence of an
Event of Default under Section 8.1.

        Section 6.8 Certain Conversions, Interest Payments and Repurchases in
Common Stock Deemed Payment. For the purposes of this Article VI only, (1) the
issuance and delivery

                                       38
<PAGE>

of junior securities upon (i) conversion of Securities in accordance with
Article V, (ii) upon the payment of interest in accordance with Section 1 of the
form of Security (iii) upon the payment of Additional Interest in accordance
with Section 5.15 or (iv) upon the payment of Additional Voluntary Conversion
Interest in accordance with Section 5.16, in each case in the manner specified
in such respective Sections, shall not be deemed to constitute a payment or
distribution on account of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on
Securities or on account of the purchase or other acquisition of Securities, and
will therefore not be subject to the subordination provisions of this Article
VI, and (2) the payment, issuance or delivery of cash (excluding cash paid for
fractional shares upon conversion of a Security or payment of interest,
Additional Interest or Additional Voluntary Conversion Interest), property or
securities (other than junior securities) upon conversion, payment of interest,
payment of Additional Interest or payment of Additional Voluntary Conversion
Interest shall be deemed to constitute payment on account of the principal of
such Security. For the purposes of this Section, the term "junior securities"
means (a) shares of any stock of any class of the Company and (b) securities of
the Company which are subordinated in right of payment to all Senior Debt which
may be outstanding at the time of issuance or delivery of such securities to
substantially the same extent as, or to a greater extent than, the Securities
are so subordinated as provided in this Article VI. Nothing contained in this
Article or elsewhere in this Indenture or in the Securities is intended to or
shall impair, as among the Company, its creditors other than holders of Senior
Debt and the holders of the Securities, the right, which is absolute and
unconditional, of the holder of any Security to convert such Security in
accordance with Article V.

                                   ARTICLE VII

                                   SUCCESSORS

        Section 7.1 Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets. The Company may not
consolidate or merge with or into any person (whether or not the Company is the
surviving corporation), or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise
dispose of all or substantially all of its properties or assets unless:

               (a) the Company is the surviving corporation or the entity or the
person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than
the Company) or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or
other disposition shall have been made is a corporation organized or existing
under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of
Columbia;

               (b) the entity or person formed by or surviving any such
consolidation or merger (if other than the Company) assumes all the Obligations
of the Company, pursuant to a supplemental indenture in a form reasonably
satisfactory to the Trustee, under the Securities and the Indenture;

               (c) such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other
disposition of all or substantially all of the Company's properties or assets
shall be as an entirety or virtually as an entirety to one person and such

supplemental indenture in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, under
the Securities and the Indenture;

                                       39
<PAGE>

               (d) immediately after such transaction no Default or Event of
Default exists; and

               (e) the Company or such person shall have delivered to the
Trustee an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that
such transaction and the supplemental indenture comply with the Indenture and
that all conditions precedent in the Indenture relating to such transaction have
been satisfied.

        Section 7.2 Successor Corporation Substituted. Upon any consolidation or
merger, or any sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other
disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company in
accordance with Section 7.1 hereof, the successor corporation formed by such
consolidation or into or with which the Company is merged or to which such sale,
assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition is made shall
succeed to, and be substituted for and may exercise every right and power of,
the Company under this indenture with the same effect as if such successor
person has been named as the Company herein; provided, however, that the
predecessor Company in the case of a sale, assignment, transfer, lease,
conveyance or other disposition shall not be released from the obligation to pay
the principal of and interest on the Securities.

                                  ARTICLE VIII

                              DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

        Section 8.1   Events of Default.  An "Event of Default" occurs if:

               (a) the Company defaults in the payment of interest on any
Security when the same becomes due and payable, whether or not such payments
shall be prohibited by Article VI, and the Default continues for a period of 30
days after the date due and payable;

               (b) the Company defaults in the payment of the principal of any
Security when the same becomes due and payable at maturity, upon redemption or
otherwise, whether or not such payment shall be prohibited by Article VI;

               (c) the Company defaults in the payment of the Designated Event
Payment when the same becomes due and payable, whether or not such payment may
be prohibited by Article VI;

               (e) the Company fails to observe or perform any other covenant or
agreement contained in this Indenture or the Securities, required by it to be
performed and the Default continues for a period of 60 days after the receipt of
written notice from the Trustee to the Company or from the holders of 25% in
aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Securities to the Company and
the Trustee stating that such notice is a "Notice of Default";

               (f) there is a default under any mortgage, indenture or
instrument under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or
evidenced any Indebtedness for money

                                       40
<PAGE>

borrowed by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company (or the payment of
which is guaranteed by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company), whether
such Indebtedness or guarantee now exists or is created after the Issuance Date,
which default (i) is caused by a failure to pay when due principal of or
interest on such Indebtedness within the grace period provided for in such
Indebtedness (which failure continues beyond the longer of any applicable grace
period and 30 days) (a "Payment Default") or (ii) results in the acceleration of
such Indebtedness prior to its express maturity and, in each case, the principal
amount of any such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other
such Indebtedness under which there is a Payment Default or the maturity of
which has been so accelerated, aggregates $10 million or more;

               (g) a final, non-appealable judgment or final, non-appealable
judgments (other than any judgment as to which a reputable insurance company has
accepted full liability) for the payment of money are entered by a court or
courts of competent jurisdiction against the Company or any Subsidiary of the
Company and remain undischarged for a period (during which execution shall not
be effectively stayed) of 60 days, provided that the aggregate of all such
judgments exceeds $10 million;

               (h) the Company or any Material Subsidiary pursuant to or within
the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law: (i) commences a voluntary case, (ii) consents
to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case in which
it is the debtor, (iii) consents to the appointment of a Bankruptcy Custodian of
it or for all or substantially all of its property, (iv) makes a general
assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or (v) makes the admission in
writing that it generally is unable to pay its debts as the same become due; or

               (i) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree
under any Bankruptcy Law that: (i) is for relief against the Company or any
Material Subsidiary of the Company in an involuntary case, (ii) appoints a
Bankruptcy Custodian of the Company or any Material Subsidiary of the Company or
for all or substantially all of its property, and the order or decree remains
unstayed and in effect for 60 days, or (iii) orders the liquidation of the
Company or any Material Subsidiary of the Company, and the order or decree
remains unstayed and in effect for 60 days.

        The term "Bankruptcy Law" means Title 11, U.S. Code or any similar
Federal or state law for the relief of debtors. The term "Bankruptcy Custodian"

Bankruptcy Law.

        Section 8.2 Acceleration. If an Event of Default (other than an Event of
Default specified in clauses (h) and (i) of Section 8.1 hereof) occurs and is
continuing, the Trustee by notice to the Company, or the Noteholders of at least
25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities by notice to the
Company and the Trustee, may declare all the Securities to be due and payable.
Upon such declaration, the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid
interest on the Securities shall be due and payable immediately. If an Event of
Default specified in clause (h) or (i) of Section 8.1 hereof occurs, such an
amount shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any
declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Noteholder. The
Noteholders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding
Securities by notice to the Trustee may rescind an acceleration and its

                                       41
<PAGE>

consequences if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree
and if all existing Events of Default have been cured or waived except
nonpayment of principal or interest that has become due solely because of the
acceleration.

        Section 8.3 Other Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and is
continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment
of principal or interest then due and payable on the Securities or to enforce
the performance of any provision of the Securities or this Indenture.

        The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of
the Securities or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or
omission by the Trustee or any Noteholder in exercising any right or remedy
accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or
constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. All remedies are
cumulative to the extent permitted by law.

        Section 8.4 Waiver of Past Defaults. The Noteholders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Securities by notice to the
Trustee may waive an existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences
except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of the Designated
Event Payment or the principal of, or interest on, any Security. When a Default
or Event of Default is waived, it is cured and ceases; but no such waiver shall
extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent
thereon.

        Section 8.5 Control by Majority. The Noteholders of a majority in
principal amount of the then outstanding Securities may direct the time, method
and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee
or exercising any trust or power conferred on it. However, the Trustee may
refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture, is
unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Noteholders, or would involve the
Trustee in personal liability.

        Section 8.6 Limitation on Suits. A Noteholder may pursue a remedy with
respect to this Indenture or the Securities only if:

               (a) the Noteholder gives to the Trustee notice of a continuing
Event of Default;

               (b) the Noteholders of at least 25% in principal amount of the
then outstanding Securities make a request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy;

               (c) such Noteholder or Noteholders offer to the Trustee indemnity
satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense;

               (d) the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days
after receipt of the request and the offer of indemnity; and

               (e) during such 60-day period the Noteholders of a majority in
principal amount of the then outstanding Securities do not give the Trustee a
direction inconsistent with the request.

                                       42
<PAGE>

        A Noteholder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of
another Noteholder or to obtain a preference or priority over another
Noteholder.

        Section 8.7 Rights of Noteholders to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Noteholder of a Security
to receive payment of principal and interest on the Security, on or after the
respective due dates expressed in the Security, or to bring suit for the
enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be
impaired or affected without the consent of the Noteholder made pursuant to this
Section.

        Section 8.8 Collection Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default specified
in Section 8.1(a) or (b) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover
judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company
for the whole amount of principal and interest remaining unpaid on the
Securities and interest on overdue principal and interest and such further
amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and, to the extent lawful,
expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.

        Section 8.9 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. The Trustee may file such
proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable
in order to have the claims of the Trustee and the Noteholders allowed in any
judicial proceedings relative to the Company, its creditors or its property.
Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize
or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Noteholder any plan of
reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities
or the rights of any Noteholder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in
respect of the claim of any Noteholder in any such proceeding.

        Section 8.10 Priorities. If the Trustee collects any money or property
pursuant to this Article, it shall pay out the money or proceeds, in the case of
property, in the following order:

            First: to the Trustee for amounts due under Section 9.7 hereof;

            Second: to the holders of Senior Debt to the extent required by
Article VI;

            Third: to Noteholders for amounts due and unpaid on the Securities
for principal and interest, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind,
according to the amounts due and payable on the Securities for principal and
interest, respectively; and

            Fourth: to the Company.

        Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.12 hereof, the Trustee may fix
a record date and payment date for any payment to Noteholders made pursuant to
this Section.

        Section 8.11 Undertaking for Costs. In any suit for the enforcement of
any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for
any action taken or omitted by it as a Trustee, a court in its discretion may
require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay
the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable
costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees, against any party litigant in the
suit, having due

                                       43
<PAGE>

regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party
litigant. This Section does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a
holder pursuant to Section 8.7 hereof, or a suit by Noteholders of more than 10%
in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities.

                                   ARTICLE IX

                                     TRUSTEE

        Section 9.1 Duties of Trustee.

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

               (b) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default: (i) the
Trustee need perform only those duties that are specifically set forth in this
Indenture and no others and (ii) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the
Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the
correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions
furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture.
However, the Trustee shall examine the certificates and opinions to determine
whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture.

               (c) The Trustee may not be relieved from liability for its own
negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful
misconduct, except that (i) this paragraph does not limit the effect of
paragraph (b) of this Section 9.1; (ii) the Trustee shall not be liable for any
error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it is
proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts and
(iii) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action it takes or
omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it
pursuant to Section 8.5 hereof.

               (d) Every provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to
the Trustee is subject to paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of this Section 9.1. 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.

               (e) The Trustee may refuse to perform any duty or exercise any
right or power unless it receives indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss,
liability or expense.

               (f) The Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any money
received by it except as the Trustee may agree in writing with the Company.
Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds
except to the extent required by law.

               (a) The Trustee may conclusively rely on any document reasonably
believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper
person. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the
document.

               (b) Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it (unless
other evidence be herein specifically prescribed) may require an Officers'
Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel, or both. The Trustee shall not be liable
for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such
Officers' Certificate or Opinion of Counsel.

               (c) The Trustee may act through agents and nominees and shall not
be responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any agent appointed with due
care.

               (d) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action that it takes
or omits to take in good faith, without negligence or willful misconduct, and
that it reasonably believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers.

               (e) The Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any Event
of Default under subsection (c), (d), (e), (f), (g), (h) or (i) of Section 8.1

division shall have actual knowledge thereof, or (2) the Trustee shall have
received notice thereof in accordance with Section 12.2 hereof from the Company
or any holder.

               (f) Any request or direction of the Company mentioned herein

resolution of the Board of Directors may be sufficiently evidenced by a Board
Resolution.

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

               (h) 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 security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against
the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance
with such request or direction.

               (i) 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 at the sole cost of the Company and shall incur no liability or
additional liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation.

                                       45
<PAGE>

               (j) The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits
given to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be
indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each
of its capacities hereunder, and each agent, custodian and other person employed
to act hereunder.

               (k) The Trustee may request that the Company deliver an Officers'
Certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles of officers
authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture,
which Officers' Certificate may be signed by any person authorized to sign an
Officers' Certificate, including any person specified as so authorized in any
such certificate previously delivered and not superseded.

        Section 9.3 Individual Rights of Trustee. The Trustee in its individual
or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may
otherwise deal with the Company or an Affiliate with the same rights it would
have if it were not Trustee. Any Agent may do the same with like rights.
However, the Trustee is subject to Sections 9.10 and 9.11 hereof.

        Section 9.4 Trustee's Disclaimer. The Trustee makes no representation as
to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Securities, it shall not be
accountable for the Company's use of the proceeds from any Securities
authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in conformity with the provisions of
this Indenture, and it shall not be responsible for any statement of the Company
in the Indenture or any statement in the Securities other than its
authentication.

        Section 9.5 Notice of Defaults. If a Default or Event of Default occurs
and is continuing and if it is actually known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall
mail to Noteholders a notice of the Default or Event of Default within 90 days
after it occurs. Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment
on any Security, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a
committee of its trust officers in good faith determines that withholding the
notice is in the interests of Noteholders.

        Section 9.6 Reports by Trustee to Noteholders. Within 60 days after the
reporting date stated in Section 12.10, the Trustee shall mail to Noteholders a
brief report dated as of such reporting date that complies with TIA Section
313(a) if and to the extent required by such Section 313(a). The Trustee also
shall comply with TIA Section 313(b)(2). The Trustee shall also transmit by mail
all reports as required by TIA Section 313(c).

        A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to Noteholders shall be
filed with the SEC and each stock exchange on which the Securities are listed.
The Company shall notify the Trustee when the Securities are listed on any stock
exchange and any delisting thereof.

        Section 9.7 Compensation and Indemnity. The Company shall pay to the
Trustee from time to time such compensation for its services hereunder as the
Company and the Trustee shall agree on in writing. The Trustee's compensation
shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express
trust. The Company shall reimburse the Trustee upon request for all reasonable
and duly documented disbursements, expenses and advances incurred or made by it.
Such disbursements and expenses may include the reasonable and duly documented
disbursements, compensation and expenses of the Trustee's agents and counsel.

                                       46
<PAGE>

        The Company shall indemnify the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee and
its officers, directors, employees and all other agents against any loss,
damage, claims, liability or expense, including taxes (other than taxes based
upon, measured by, or determined by the income of the Trustee) incurred by it
except as set forth in the next paragraph. The Trustee shall notify the Company
promptly of any claim (whether asserted by the Company, by any holder or any
other person) for which it may seek indemnity. The Company shall defend the
claim and the Trustee shall cooperate in the defense. The Trustee may have
separate counsel and the Company shall pay the reasonable and duly documented
fees, disbursements and expenses of such counsel. The Company need not pay for
any settlement made without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld.

        The Company need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss
or liability incurred by the Trustee through negligence, bad faith or willful
misconduct.

        To secure the Company's payment obligations in this Section, the Trustee
shall have a lien prior to the Securities on all money or property held or
collected by the Trustee, except money or property held in trust to pay
principal and interest on particular Securities.

        When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of
Default specified in Section 8.1(h) or (i) occurs, the expenses and the
compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of
administration under any Bankruptcy Law.

        The provisions of this Section 9.7 shall survive the termination of this
Indenture, and the resignation or removal of the Trustee.

        Section 9.8 Replacement of Trustee. A resignation or removal of the
Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee shall become effective only upon
the successor Trustee's acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section.

        The Trustee may resign by so notifying the Company. The Noteholders of a
majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities may remove the
Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and the Company. The Company may remove the
Trustee if:

               (a) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 9.10 hereof, unless
the Trustee's duty to resign is stayed as provided in TIA Section 310(b);

               (b) the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent or an
order for relief is entered with respect to the Trustee under any Bankruptcy
Law;

               (c) a Bankruptcy Custodian or public officer takes charge of the
Trustee or its property; or

               (d) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting.

        If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the
office of Trustee for any reason, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor
Trustee. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the
Noteholders of a majority in principal amount of the then

                                       47
<PAGE>

outstanding Securities may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor
Trustee appointed by the Company.

        If a successor Trustee does not take office within 30 days after the
retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Company or the
Noteholders of at least 10% in principal amount of the then outstanding
Securities may petition any court of competent jurisdiction at the expense of
the Company for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

        If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 9.10 hereof, unless the
Trustee's duty to resign is stayed as provided in TIA Section 310(b), any
Noteholder who has been a bona fide holder of a Security for at least six months
may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee
and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

        A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its
appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Thereupon the
resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, the
Company shall promptly pay all amounts due and payable to the retiring Trustee
pursuant to Section 9.7 hereof and the successor Trustee shall have all the
rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor
Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to Noteholders. The retiring
Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the
successor Trustee, subject to the lien provided for in Section 9.7 hereof.
Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 9.8, the
Company's obligations under Section 9.7 hereof shall continue for the benefit of
the retiring Trustee with respect to expenses and liabilities incurred by it
prior to such replacement.

        Section 9.9 Successor Trustee by Merger, Etc. If the Trustee
consolidates, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of
its corporate trust business to, another corporation, the successor corporation
without any further act shall be the successor Trustee.

        Section 9.10 Eligibility; Disqualification. This Indenture shall always
have a Trustee who satisfies the requirements of TIA Section 310(a)(1) and (5).
The Trustee, or if the Trustee is a member of a bank holding company system, its
bank holding company, shall always have a combined capital and surplus as stated
in Section 12.10 hereof. The Trustee is subject to TIA Section 310(b).

        Section 9.11 Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company. The
Trustee is subject to TIA Section 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship
listed in TIA Section 311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall
be subject to TIA Section 311(a) to the extent indicated therein.

        Section 9.12 Sections Applicable to Registrar, Paying Agent and
Conversion Agent. The term "Trustee" as used in Sections 6.3, 9.1, 9.2, 9.3, 9.4
and 9.7 hereof shall (unless the context requires otherwise) be construed as
extending to and including the Trustee acting in its capacity, if any, as
Registrar, Paying Agent and Conversion Agent.

                             DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE

        Section 10.1 Termination of Company's Obligations. This Indenture shall
cease to be of further effect (except that the Company's obligations under
Sections 9.7 and 10.2 hereof shall survive) when all outstanding Securities
theretofore authenticated and issued have been delivered to the Trustee for
cancellation and the Company has paid all sums payable hereunder.

        Thereupon, the Trustee upon request of the Company, shall acknowledge in
writing the discharge of the Company's obligations under this Indenture, except
for those surviving obligations specified above.

        Section 10.2 Repayment to Company. The Trustee and the Paying Agent
shall promptly pay to the Company upon request any excess money or securities
held by them at any time.

        The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall pay to the Company upon request
any money held by them for the payment of principal, premium, if any, or
interest, if any, that remains unclaimed for the period ending on the earlier of
10 Business Days prior to the date such funds would escheat to the State or two
years after the date upon which such payment shall have become due; provided,
however, that the Company, or the Trustee at the request of the Company, shall
have first caused notice of such payment to the Company to be mailed to each
Noteholder entitled thereto no less than 30 days prior to such payment. After
payment to the Company, the Trustee and the Paying Agent shall have no further
liability with respect to such money and Noteholders entitled to the money must
look to the Company for payment as general creditors unless any applicable
abandoned property law designates another person.

                                   ARTICLE XI

                       AMENDMENTS, SUPPLEMENTS AND WAIVERS

        Section 11.1 Without Consent of Noteholders. The Company and the Trustee
may amend or supplement this Indenture or the Securities without the consent of
any Noteholder:

            (a) to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency;

            (b) to comply with Sections 5.13 and 7.1 hereof;

            (c) to provide for uncertificated Securities in addition to
certificated Securities;

            (d) to make any change that does not adversely affect the rights
hereunder of any Noteholder;

            (e) to qualify this Indenture under the TIA or to comply with the
requirements of the SEC in order to maintain the qualification of the Indenture
under the TIA; or

                                       49
<PAGE>

            (f) to make any change that provides any additional rights or
benefits to the holders of Securities.

        An amendment under this Section may not make any change that adversely
affects the rights under Article VI of any holder of Senior Debt then
outstanding unless the holders of such Senior Debt (or any group or
representative thereof authorized to give a consent) consent to such change.

        Section 11.2 With Consent of Noteholders. Subject to Section 8.7 hereof,
the Company and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture or the
Securities with the written consent (including consents obtained in connection
with any tender offer or exchange offer for Securities) of the Noteholders of at
least a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities. Subject
to Sections 8.4 and 8.7 hereof, the Noteholders of a majority in principal
amount of the Securities then outstanding may also by their written consent
(including consents obtained in connection with any tender offer or exchange
offer for Securities) waive any existing Default as provided in Section 8.4 or
waive compliance in a particular instance by the Company with any provision of
this Indenture or the Securities. However, without the consent of each
Noteholder affected, an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section may
not (with respect to any Securities held by a nonconsenting Noteholder):

            (a) reduce the amount of Securities whose Noteholders must consent
to an amendment, supplement or waiver;

any Security;

            (c) reduce the principal of or change the fixed maturity of any
Security;

            (d) make any Security payable in money other than that stated in the
Security;

            (e) make any change in Section 8.4, 8.7 or 11.2 hereof (this
sentence);

            (f) waive a default in the payment of the Designated Event Payment
or the principal of, or interest on, any Security (other than as provided in
Section 8.4);

            (g) waive a redemption payment payable on any Security;

            (h) make any change that adversely affects the right of Noteholders
to convert Securities into Common Stock of the Company; or

            (i) make any change in Articles V or VI hereof that adversely
affects the interests of the Noteholders.

        To secure a consent of the Noteholders under this Section 11.2, it shall
not be necessary for the Noteholders to approve the particular form of any
proposed amendment supplement or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such
consent approves the substance thereof.

                                       50

        An amendment under this Section may not make any change that adversely
affects the rights under Article VI of any holder of Senior Debt then
outstanding unless the holders of such Senior Debt (or any group or
representative thereof authorized to give a consent) consent to such change.

        After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section becomes
effective, the Company shall mail to Noteholders a notice briefly describing the
amendment or waiver.

        Section 11.3 Compliance with Trust Indenture Act. Every amendment to
this Indenture or the Securities shall be set forth in a supplemental indenture
that complies with the TIA as then in effect.

        Section 11.4 Revocation and Effect of Consents. Until an amendment,
supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Noteholder of a
Security is a continuing consent by the Noteholder and every subsequent
Noteholder of a Security or portion of a Security that evidences the same debt
as the consenting Noteholder's Security, even if notation of the consent is not
made on any Security. However, any such Noteholder or subsequent Noteholder may
revoke the consent as to such Noteholder's Security or portion of a Security if
the Trustee receives the notice of revocation before the date on which the
Trustee receives an Officers' Certificate certifying that the Noteholders of the
requisite principal amount of Securities have consented to the amendment,
supplement or waiver.

        The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for
the purpose of determining the Noteholders entitled to consent to any amendment,
supplement or waiver. If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding the
provisions of the immediately preceding paragraph, those persons who were
Noteholders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only
those persons, shall be entitled to consent to such amendment, supplement or
waiver or to revoke any consent previously given, whether or not such persons
continue to be Noteholders after such record date. No consent shall be valid or
effective for more than 90 days after such record date unless consents from
Noteholders of the principal amount of Securities required hereunder or such
amendment or waiver to be effective shall have also been given and not revoked
within such 90-day period.

        After an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective it shall bind
every Noteholder, unless it is of the type described in any of clauses (a)
through (i) of Section 11.2 hereof. In such case, the amendment or waiver shall
bind each Noteholder who has consented to it and every subsequent Noteholder of
a Security or portion of a Security that evidences the same debt as the
consenting Noteholder's Security.

        Section 11.5 Notation on or Exchange of Securities. The Trustee may
place an appropriate notation about an amendment or waiver on any Security
thereafter authenticated. The Company in exchange for all Securities may issue
and the Trustee shall authenticate new Securities that reflect the amendment or
waiver.

        Section 11.6 Trustee Protected. The Trustee shall sign all supplemental
indentures, except that the Trustee may, but need not, sign any supplemental
indenture that adversely affects its rights.

        Section 12.1 Trust Indenture Act Controls. If any provision of this

Trustee to the other is duly given if in writing and delivered in person or
mailed by first class mail or nationally recognized courier to the other's
address stated in Section 12.10 hereof. The Company or the Trustee by notice to
the other may designate additional or different addresses for subsequent notices
or communications.

        Notice shall be deemed given to the Trustee when received by the
Trustee.

        Any notice or communication to a Noteholder shall be mailed by first
class mail to his address shown on the register kept by the Registrar. Failure
to mail a notice or communication to a Noteholder or any defect in it shall not
affect its sufficiency with respect to other Noteholders.

        If a notice or communication is mailed in the manner provided above
within the time prescribed, it is duly given, whether or not the addressee
receives it.

        If the Company mails a notice or communication to Noteholders, it shall
mail a copy to the Trustee and each Agent at the same time.

        All notices or communications shall be in writing.

        In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service, or by
reason of any other cause, it shall be impossible to mail any notice as required
by the Indenture, then such method of notification as shall be made with the
approval of the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient mailing of such notice.

        Section 12.3 Communication by Noteholders with Other Noteholders.
Noteholders may communicate pursuant to TIA Section 312(b) with other
Noteholders with respect to their rights under this Indenture or the Securities.

certificate or opinion with respect to compliance with a condition or covenant
provided for in this Indenture (other than pursuant to Section 4.3) shall
include:

            (a) a statement that the person signing such certificate or
rendering such opinion has read such covenant or condition;

            (b) a brief statement as to the nature and scope of the examination
or investigation upon which the statements or opinions contained in such
certificate or opinion are based;

            (c) a statement that, in the opinion of such person, such person has
made such examination or investigation as is necessary to enable such person to
express an informed opinion as to whether or not such covenant or condition has
been complied with; and

            (d) a statement as to whether or not, in the opinion of such person,
such condition or covenant has been complied with.

        Section 12.6 Rules by Trustee and Agents. The Trustee may make
reasonable rules for action by, or a meeting of, Noteholders. The Registrar or
Paying Agent may make reasonable rules and set reasonable requirements for its
functions.

        Section 12.7 Legal Holidays. A "Legal Holiday" is a Saturday, a Sunday
or a day on which banking institutions in the State of New York are not required
to be open. If a payment date is a Legal Holiday at a place of payment, payment
may be made at that place on the next succeeding day that is not a Legal
Holiday, and no interest shall accrue for the intervening period. If any other
operative date for purposes of this Indenture shall occur on a Legal Holiday
then for all purposes the next succeeding day that is not a Legal Holiday shall
be such operative date.

        Section 12.8 No Recourse Against Others. A director, officer, employee
or stockholder, as such of the Company shall not have any liability for any
obligations of the Company under the Securities or the Indenture or for any
claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their
creation. Each Noteholder by accepting a Security waives and releases all such
liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issue of
the Securities.

of counterparts and by the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of
which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken

                            [FORM OF REVERSE OF NOTE]

                         COEUR D'ALENE MINES CORPORATION

       13 3/8% CONVERTIBLE SENIOR SUBORDINATED NOTE DUE DECEMBER 31, 2003

        1. Interest. This note is one of a series of the 13 3/8% Convertible
Senior Subordinated Notes due December 31, 2003 (the "Convertible Notes") issued
by Coeur d'Alene Mines Corporation, an Idaho corporation (the "Company"),
pursuant to an indenture dated as of May 31, 2002 (the "Indenture") between the
Company and The Bank of New York, as Trustee. The Company promises to pay
interest on the Convertible Notes in cash or, at the option of the Company, in
Common Stock, semiannually on each June 30 and December 31, commencing on June
30, 2002, to holders of record on the immediately preceding June 15 and December
15.

        In the event that the Company elects to pay interest in the Company's
Common Stock, such Common Stock will be valued at 90% of the average of the
Daily Market Price for the five trading days immediately preceding the second
Trading Day prior to the interest payment date.

        Interest on the Convertible Notes will accrue from the most recent date
to which interest has been paid, or if no interest has been paid, from the date
of issuance. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve
30-day months. To the extent lawful, the Company shall pay interest (including
post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue
installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace period) at the
rate borne by the Convertible Notes, compounded annually.

        2. Method of Payment. The Company will pay interest on the Convertible
Notes (except defaulted interest) to the persons who are registered holders of
the Convertible Notes entitled to such payments at the close of business on the
record date for the next interest payment date even though Convertible Notes are
canceled after the record date and on or before the interest payment date. The
Noteholder hereof must surrender Convertible Notes to a Paying Agent to collect
principal payments. The Company will pay principal and interest in money of the
United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public
and private debts. However, the Company may pay principal and interest by check
payable in such money. It may mail an interest check to a holder's registered
address. Additionally, the Company may elect to pay interest (including without
limitation, Additional Interest and Additional Voluntary Conversion Interest in
accordance with Sections 5.15 and 5.16 of the Indenture) in Common Stock.

        3. Paying Agent and Registrar. The Trustee will act as Paying Agent,
Registrar and Conversion Agent. The Company may change any Paying Agent,
Registrar, co-registrar or Conversion Agent without prior notice. The Company or
any of its Affiliates may act in any such capacity.

        4. Indenture. The terms of the Convertible Notes include those stated in
the Indenture (which is incorporated hereby as though fully set forth herein)
and those made part of the Indenture by the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S.
Code Sections 77aaa-77bbbb) as in effect on the date of the Indenture. The
Convertible Notes are subject to, and ratified by, all such

                                      A-5
<PAGE>

terms, certain of which are summarized hereon, and Noteholders are referred to
the Indenture and such Act for a statement of such terms. The Convertible Notes
are unsecured obligations of the Company limited to (except as otherwise
provided in the Indenture) an aggregate principal amount up to $21,479,000, and
are subordinated in right of payment to all existing and future Senior Debt of
the Company as provided in the Indenture. Any holder of this Convertible Note
shall be deemed to have agreed to and be bound by all the terms and conditions
contained in the Indenture applicable to a holder of a Convertible Note. All
capitalized terms herein that are not otherwise defined shall have the meaning
ascribed thereto in the Indenture.

        5. Optional Redemption. The Convertible Notes are not subject to
redemption at the Company's option prior to July 27, 2003. On such date and
thereafter, the Convertible Notes will be subject to redemption at the option of
the Company, in whole or in part (in any integral multiple of $1,000), upon not
less than 30 nor more than 40 days' prior notice by mail at the following
redemption price (expressed as a percentage of the principal amount set forth
below):

        DATE                                                         REDEMPTION PRICE
        ----                                                         ----------------
       <S>                                                           <C>
        Beginning on July 27, 2003 and ending on December 30, 2003      102.675%

        December 31, 2003                                               100%
</TABLE>

in each case together with accrued and unpaid interest up to but not including
the redemption date (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant
record date to receive interest due on an interest payment date). On or after
the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the Convertible Notes, or
portion thereof, called for redemption.

        6. Notice of Redemption. Notice of redemption will be mailed at least 30
days but not more than 40 days before the redemption date to each holder of the
Convertible Notes to be redeemed at his address of record. The Convertible Notes
in denominations larger than $1,000 may be redeemed in part but only in integral
multiples of $1,000. In the event of a redemption of less than all of the
Convertible Notes, the Convertible Notes will be chosen for redemption by the
Trustee in accordance with the Indenture. Unless the Company defaults in making
such redemption payment, or the Paying Agent is prohibited from making such
payment pursuant to the Indenture, interest cease to accrue on the Convertible
Notes or portions of them called for redemption on and after the redemption
date.

        If this Convertible Note is redeemed subsequent to a record date with
respect to any interest payment date specified above and on or prior to such
interest payment date, then any accrued interest payable on such interest
payment date will be paid to the person in whose name this Convertible Note is
registered at the close of business on such record date.

        7. Mandatory Redemption. The Company will not be required to make
mandatory redemption payments with respect to the Convertible Notes. There are
no sinking fund payments with respect to the Convertible Notes.

        8. Repurchase at Option of Holder. If there is a Designated Event, the
Company shall be required to offer to purchase on the Designated Event Payment
Date all outstanding

                                      A-6
<PAGE>

Convertible Notes at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount
thereof on the date of purchase, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the
Designated Event Payment Date, plus an amount payable in cash equal to the sum
of (i) $200.625 per each $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes and (ii)
the amount of interest payable per each $1,000 principal amount of Convertible
Notes from the date of issuance to June 30, 2002, less any interest actually
paid or provided for with respect to such Convertible Notes on or prior to the
Designated Event Payment Date. Holders of Convertible Notes that are subject to
such a Designated Event Offer will be mailed a notice of Designated Event Offer
from the Company prior to any related Designated Event Payment Date and, in
accordance with the procedures and terms set forth in the Indenture, may elect
to have such Convertible Notes or portions thereof in authorized denominations
purchased by completing the form entitled "Option of Noteholder To Elect
Purchase." Noteholders have the right to withdraw their election by delivering a
written notice of withdrawal to the Paying Agent in accordance with the terms of
the Indenture.

        9. Subordination. The payment of the principal of, premium, if any,
interest on, or any other amounts due on the Convertible Notes is subordinated
in right of payment to all existing and future Senior Debt of the Company, as
described in the Indenture. Each Noteholder, by accepting a Convertible Note,
agrees to such subordination and authorizes and directs the Trustee on its
behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the
subordination so provided and appoints the Trustee as its attorney-in-fact for
such purpose.

        10. Conversion. The holder of any Convertible Note has the right at any
time prior to the close of business (New York time) on the date of the
Convertible Note's maturity, to convert the principal amount thereof (or any
portion thereof that is an integral multiple of $1,000) into shares of Common
Stock at the initial Conversion Price of $1.35 per share, subject to adjustment
under certain circumstances as more fully described in Section 5.6 of the
Indenture, except that if a Convertible Note is called for redemption, the
conversion right will terminate at the close of business on the Business Day
immediately preceding the date fixed for redemption.

        To convert a Convertible Note, a holder must (1) complete and sign a
notice of election to convert substantially in the form set forth below, (2)
surrender the Convertible Note to a Conversion Agent, (3) furnish appropriate
endorsements or transfer documents if required by the Registrar or Conversion
Agent and (4) pay any transfer or similar tax, if required. Upon conversion, no
adjustment or payment will be made for interest or dividends (except for any
required payment of Additional Voluntary Conversion Interest), but if any
Noteholder surrenders a Convertible Note for conversion after the close of
business on the record date for the payment of an installment of interest and
prior to the opening of business on the next interest payment date, then,
notwithstanding such conversion, the interest payable on such interest payment
date will be paid to the registered holder of such Convertible Note on such
record date. In such event, such Convertible Note, when surrendered for
conversion, must be accompanied by payment in funds acceptable to the Company of
an amount equal to the interest (but in no circumstance shall this requirement
to pay interest upon conversion result in any holder being required to pay any
Additional Voluntary Conversion Interest to the Company) payable on such
interest payment date on the portion so converted. The number of shares of
Common Stock issuable upon conversion of a Convertible Note is determined by
dividing the principal amount of the Convertible Note converted by the
Conversion Price in effect on the Conversion Date and then adding any shares of
Common Stock to be delivered in payment of the Additional Voluntary

                                      A-7
<PAGE>
Conversion Interest. No fractional shares will be issued upon conversion but a
cash adjustment will be made for any fractional interest.

        A Convertible Note in respect of which a holder has delivered an "Option
of Noteholder to Elect Purchase" form appearing below exercising the option of
such holder to require the Company to purchase such Convertible Note may be
converted only if the notice of exercise is withdrawn as provided above and in
accordance with the terms of the Indenture. The above description of conversion
of the Convertible Notes is qualified by reference to, and is subject in its
entirety by, the more complete description thereof contained in the Indenture.

        11. Automatic Conversion by Company. If at any time the Daily Market
Price of the Company's Common Stock exceeds 200% of the Conversion Price for at
least 20 Trading Days during a 30-day Trading Day period, the Company may elect
to automatically convert the Convertible Notes into Common Stock pursuant to
Section 5.15 of the Indenture. In the event that the date that the Convertible
Notes will be automatically converted occurs on or prior to Maturity, the
Company will pay Additional Interest in cash or, at the Company's election, in
Common Stock to the holders. If the Company elects to pay Additional Interest,
if any, on the Convertible Notes in Common Stock, such shares of Common Stock
will be valued at 90% of the average of the Daily Market Price for the five
Trading Days immediately preceding the second Trading Day preceding the date of
the Automatic Conversion. In the event of an Automatic Conversion on or prior to
Maturity, each holder of the Convertible Notes will receive Additional Interest
in an amount equal to the sum of sum of (i) $200.625 per each $1,000 principal
amount of Convertible Notes and (ii) the amount of interest payable per each
$1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes from the date of issuance to June
30, 2002 in Common Stock or cash at the election of the Company, less any
interest actually paid or provided for on or prior to the date of the Automatic
Conversion.

        12. Voluntary Conversion by Holder. If any holder elects to voluntarily
convert its Convertible Notes at any time on or prior to Maturity, such holders
will receive a payment of Additional Voluntary Conversion Interest upon
conversion so long as the Company has not previously mailed an automatic
conversion notice to holders. In the event that the Company elects to pay
Additional Voluntary Conversion Interest, if any, on the Convertible Notes in
Common Stock upon a voluntary conversion, the shares of Common Stock will be
valued at 90% of the average of the Daily Market Price for the five Trading Days
immediately preceding the second Trading Day preceding the Conversion Date,
subject to a minimum valuation of the Conversion Price, less interest actually
paid or provided for with respect to such Convertible Notes on or prior to the
date of such voluntary conversion.

        13. Denominations, Transfer, Exchange. The Convertible Notes are in
registered form, without coupons, in denominations of $1,000 and integral
multiples of $1,000. The transfer of Convertible Notes may be registered, and
Convertible Notes may be exchanged, as provided in the Indenture. The Registrar
may require a Noteholder, among other things, to furnish appropriate
endorsements and transfer documents and to pay any taxes and fees required by
law or permitted by the Indenture. The Registrar need not exchange or register
the transfer of any Convertible Note or portion of a Convertible Note selected
for redemption (except the unredeemed portion of any Convertible Note being
redeemed in part). Also, the Registrar need

                                      A-8
<PAGE>

not exchange or register the transfer of any Convertible Note for a period of 15
days before a selection of Convertible Notes to be redeemed.

        14. Persons Deemed Owners. Except as provided in paragraph 2 of this
Convertible Note, the registered Noteholder of a Convertible Note may be treated
as its owner for all purposes.

        15. Unclaimed Money. If money for the payment of principal or interest
remains unclaimed for the shorter of two years after such payment was due or a
period ending 10 Business Days prior to the date, such funds would escheat to
the State, the Trustee and the Paying Agent shall pay the money back to the
Company at its request. After that, Noteholders of Convertible Notes entitled to
the money must look to the Company for payment unless an abandoned property law
designates another person and all liability of the Trustee and such Paying Agent
with respect to such money shall cease.

        16. Defaults and Remedies. The Convertible Notes shall have the Events
of Default as set forth in Section 8.1 of the Indenture. Subject to certain
limitations in the Indenture, if an Event of Default occurs and is continuing,
the Trustee by notice to the Company or the Noteholders of at least 25% in
aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Convertible Notes by notice
to the Company and the Trustee may declare all the Convertible Notes to be due
and payable immediately, except that in the case of an Event of Default arising
from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency, all unpaid principal and
interest accrued on the Convertible Notes shall become due and payable
immediately without further action or notice. Upon acceleration as described in
either of the preceding sentences, the subordination provisions of the Indenture
preclude any payment being made to Noteholders for at least 5 days except as
otherwise provided in the Indenture and may preclude payment entirely.

        The Noteholders of a majority in principal amount of the Convertible
Notes then outstanding by written notice to the Trustee may rescind an
acceleration and its consequences if the rescission would not conflict with any
judgment or decree and if all existing Events of Default have been cured or
waived except nonpayment of principal or interest that has become due solely
because of the acceleration. Noteholders may not enforce the Indenture or the
Convertible Notes except as provided in the Indenture. Subject to certain
limitations, Noteholders of a majority in principal amount of the then
outstanding Convertible Notes issued under the Indenture may direct the Trustee
in its exercise of any trust or power. The Company must furnish compliance
certificates to the Trustee annually. The above description of Events of Default
and remedies is qualified by reference to, and subject in its entirety by, the
more complete description thereof contained in the Indenture.

        17. Amendments, Supplements and Waivers. Subject to certain exceptions,
the Indenture or the Convertible Notes may be amended or supplemented with the
consent of the Noteholders of at least a majority in principal amount of the
then outstanding Convertible Notes (including consents obtained in connection
with a tender offer or exchange offer for Convertible Notes), and any existing
default may be waived with the consent of the Noteholders of a majority in
principal amount of the then outstanding Convertible Notes including consents
obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for Convertible
Notes. Without the consent of any Noteholder, the Indenture or the Convertible
Notes may be amended, among other things, to

                                      A-9
<PAGE>

cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, to provide for assumption of the
Company's obligations to Noteholders, to make any change that does not adversely
affect the rights of any Noteholder, to qualify the Indenture under the TIA, and
to comply with the requirements of the SEC in order to maintain the
qualification of the Indenture under the TIA.

        18. Trustee Dealings with the Company. The Trustee, in its individual or
any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Convertible Notes and may
otherwise deal with the Company or an Affiliate with the same rights it would
have if it were not Trustee, subject to certain limitations provided for in the
Indenture and in the TIA. Any Agent may do the same with like rights.

        19. No Recourse Against Others. A director, officer, employee or
stockholder, as such, of the Company shall not have any liability for any
obligations of the Company under the Convertible Notes or the Indenture or for
any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their
creation. Each Noteholder, by accepting a Convertible Note, waives and releases
all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the
issue of the Convertible Notes.

        20. Governing Law. THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SHALL
GOVERN THE INDENTURE AND THE CONVERTIBLE NOTES WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAW
PROVISIONS THEREOF.

        21. Authentication. The Convertible Notes shall not be valid until
authenticated by the manual signature of an authorized officer of the Trustee or
an authenticating agent.

        22. Abbreviations. Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a
Noteholder or an assignee, such as: TEN COM (for tenants in common), TEN ENT
(for tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (for joint tenants with right of
survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (for Custodian), and U/G/M/A
(for Uniform Gifts to Minors Act).

        23. Definitions. Capitalized terms not defined in this Convertible Note
have the meaning given to them in the Indenture. The Company will furnish to any
Noteholder of the Convertible Notes upon written request and without charge a
copy of the Indenture. Request may be made to:

Attention:  Corporate Trust Office - Global Finance Unit

Ladies and Gentlemen:

        This certificate is delivered to request a transfer of $____ principal
amount of the 13 3/8% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due 2003 (the
"Securities") of Coeur d'Alene Mines Corporation (the "Issuer").

        Upon transfer, the Securities would be registered in the name of the new
beneficial owner as follows:

        Name:  ___________________________________

        Address:  ________________________________

        Taxpayer ID Number:  _____________________

        The undersigned represents and warrants to you that:

        1. We are an institutional "accredited investor" (as defined in Rule
501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act")), and we are acquiring the Securities not with a view to, or
for offer or sale in connection with, any distribution in violation of the
Securities Act. We have such knowledge and experience in financial and business
matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risk of our investment in
the Securities and invest in or purchase securities similar to the Securities in
the normal course of our business. We and any accounts for which we are acting
are each able to bear the economic risk of our or its investment.

        2. We understand that the Securities have not been registered under the
Securities Act and, unless so registered, may not be sold except as permitted in
the following sentence. We agree on our own behalf and on behalf of any investor
account for which we are purchasing Securities to offer, sell or otherwise
transfer such Securities prior to the later of the date which is two years after
(X) the later of (A) the date of original issue or (B) the date on which this
Security was acquired from an affiliate of the Issuer or (Y) the date that is
three months after the last date on which the Issuer or any affiliate of the
Issuer was the owner of such Securities (or any predecessor thereto) only (a) to
the Issuer or any subsidiary thereof, (b) to a Qualified Institutional Buyer in
compliance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act, (c) to an Accredited

                                       B-1
<PAGE>

Investor that, prior to such transfer, furnishes (or has furnished on its behalf
by a U.S. Broker-Dealer) to the Trustee a signed letter containing certain
representations and agreements relating to the restrictions on transfer of this
security (the form of which letter can be obtained from the Trustee for this
Security), (d) pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144
under the Securities Act (if available), (e) in accordance with another
exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act (and based
upon an opinion of counsel if the Issuer so requests), or (f) pursuant to an
effective registration statement under the Securities Act, subject in each of
the foregoing cases to any requirement of law that the disposition of our
property or the property of such investor account or accounts be at all times
within our or their control and in compliance with any applicable state
securities laws. In connection with any transfer of this security prior to the
later of the date which is two years after (X) the later of (A) the date of
original issue or (B) the date on which this Security was acquired from an
affiliate of the Issuer or (Y) the date that is three months after the last date
on which the Issuer or any affiliate of the Issuer was the owner of such
Securities (or any predecessor thereto), pursuant to clause (c) or (e) above if
the holder must, prior to such transfer, furnish to the Trustee and the Issuer
such certifications, legal opinions or other information as either of them may
reasonably require to confirm that such transfer is being made pursuant to an
exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration
requirements of the Securities Act.

action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered
to the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Company. If
any Securities are

                                       7
<PAGE>

denominated in coin or currency other than that of the United States, then for
the purposes of determining whether the Holders of the requisite principal
amount of Securities have taken any action with respect to the Securities of
more than one series as herein described, the principal amount of such
Securities shall be deemed to be that amount of United States dollars that could
be obtained for such principal amount on the basis of the spot rate of exchange

is evidenced to the Trustee as provided in the immediately preceding sentence.
Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced
thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the "Act" of the Holders signing
such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of
a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this
Indenture and (subject to Section 6.01) conclusive in favor of the Trustee and
the Company, if made in the manner provided in this Section.

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.

         Section 1.05. Notices, Etc., To Trustee And Company.

or Act of Holders or other document provided or permitted by this Indenture to
be made upon, given or furnished to, or filed with,

         (a) 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
Administration, or at any other address previously furnished in writing to the
Company and the Holders by the Trustee; or

         (b) the Company by the Trustee or by any Holder shall be sufficient for

         Section 1.06. Notice To Holders; Waiver.

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

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

         Section 1.07. Conflict With Trust Indenture Act.

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

for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.

         Section 1.09. Successors And Assigns.

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

         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 1.11. Benefits Of Indenture.

         Nothing in this Indenture or in the Securities, express or implied,
shall give to any Person, other than the Parties hereto, any Authenticating
Agent, any Paying Agent, any Securities Registrar and their successors hereunder
and the Holders, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim
under this Indenture.

         In any case where any Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated
Maturity of any Security shall not be a Business Day at any Place of Payment,
then, unless otherwise specified in such Security, payment of interest or
principal (and premium, if any) need not be made at such Place of Payment on
such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day at such Place of
Payment with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date
or Redemption Date, or at the Stated Maturity, provided that no interest shall
accrue for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date
or Stated Maturity, as the case may be.

         Section 1.14. Counterparts.

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

         Section 2.02. Securities In Permanent Global Form.

         If the Company shall establish pursuant to Section 3.01 that the

delivered, any instructions by the Company with respect to endorsement or
delivery or redelivery of a global Security shall be in writing but need not
comply with Section 1.02 and need not be accompanied by an Officers' Certificate
or an Opinion of Counsel, provided that the form of permanent global Security to
be endorsed, delivered or redelivered has previously been covered by an Opinion
of Counsel.

         The provisions of the last sentence of Section 3.03 shall only apply to
any Security represented by a Security in permanent global form if such Security
was never issued and sold by the Company and the Company delivers to the Trustee
or the Security Registrar the Security in permanent global form together with
written instructions (which need not comply with Section 1.02 and need not be

<PAGE>

Assistant Secretaries. The signature of any of these officers on the Securities

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

         At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of

documents referred to below in this Section, and the Trustee shall thereupon
authenticate and deliver such Securities to or upon the order of the Company
(contained in the Company Order referred to below in this Section) or pursuant
to such procedures acceptable to the Trustee and to such recipients as may be
specified from time to time by a Company Order. The maturity date, original
issue date, interest rate and any other terms of the Securities of such series
shall be determined by or pursuant to such Company Order and procedures. If
provided for in such procedures, such Company Order may authorize authentication
and delivery pursuant to oral instructions from the Company or its duly
authorized agent, which instructions shall be promptly confirmed in writing. In
authenticating such Securities, and accepting the additional responsibilities
under this Indenture in relation to such Securities, the Trustee shall be
entitled to receive (in the case of subparagraphs 3.03(ii), 3.03(iii) and
3.03(iv) below, only at or before the time of the first request of the Company
to the Trustee to authenticate Securities of such series) and (subject to
Section 6.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon, unless and until such
documents have been superseded or revoked:

                  (i) a Company Order requesting such authentication and setting
         forth delivery instructions if the Securities are not to be delivered
         to the Company, provided that, with respect to Securities of a series
         subject to a Periodic Offering, (a) such Company Order may be delivered
         by the Company to the Trustee prior to the delivery to the Trustee of
         such Securities for authentication and delivery, (b) the Trustee shall
         authenticate and deliver Securities of such series for original issue
         from time to time, in an aggregate principal amount not exceeding the
         aggregate principal amount, if any, established for such series,
         pursuant to a Company Order or pursuant to procedures acceptable to the
         Trustee as may be specified from time to time by a Company Order, (c)
         the maturity date or dates, original issue date or dates, interest rate
         or rates and any other terms of Securities of such series shall be
         determined by a Company Order or pursuant to such procedures and (d) if
         provided for in such procedures, such Company Order may authorize
         authentication and delivery pursuant to oral or electronic instructions
         from the Company or its duly authorized agent or agents, which oral
         instructions shall be promptly confirmed in writing;

                  (ii) any Board Resolution, Officers' Certificate and/or
         executed supplemental indenture referred to in Sections 2.01 and 3.01
         by or pursuant to which the forms and terms of the Securities were
         established;

                  (iii) an Officers' Certificate setting forth the form or forms
         and (to the extent established) the terms of the Securities, stating
         that the form or forms and any such terms

                                       15
<PAGE>

         of the Securities have been established pursuant to Sections 2.01 and
         3.01 and comply with this Indenture, and covering such other matters as
         the Trustee may reasonably request; and

                  (iv) At the option of the Company, either an Opinion of
         Counsel, or a letter addressed to the Trustee permitting to it rely on
         an Opinion of Counsel, substantially to the effect that:

                           (A) the forms of the Securities have been duly
                  authorized and established in conformity with the provisions
                  of this Indenture;

                           (B) if all of the terms of the Securities of such
                  series have been established, the terms of the Securities have
                  been duly authorized by the Company and established in
                  conformity with the provisions of this Indenture, and, in the
                  case of all other offerings, certain terms of the Securities
                  have been established pursuant to a Board Resolution, an
                  Officers' Certificate or a supplemental indenture in
                  accordance with this Indenture, and when such other terms as
                  are to be established pursuant to procedures set forth in a
                  Company Order shall have been established, all such terms will
                  have been duly authorized by the Company and will have been
                  established in conformity with the provisions of this
                  Indenture;

                           (C) when the Securities have been executed by the
                  Company and authenticated by the Trustee in accordance with
                  the provisions of this Indenture and delivered to and duly
                  paid for by the purchasers thereof, they will have been duly
                  issued under this Indenture and will be valid and legally
                  binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance
                  with their respective terms, and will be entitled to the
                  benefits of this Indenture; and

                           (D) the execution and delivery by the Company of, and
                  the performance by the Company of its obligations under, the
                  Securities will not contravene any provision of applicable law
                  or the certificate of incorporation or by-laws of the Company
                  or, to the best of such counsel's knowledge, any agreement or
                  other instrument binding upon the Company or any of its
                  subsidiaries that is material to the Company and its
                  subsidiaries, considered as one enterprise, or, to the best of
                  such counsel's knowledge, any judgment, order or decree of any
                  governmental body, agency or court having jurisdiction over
                  the Company or any subsidiary, and no consent, approval or
                  authorization of any governmental body or agency is required
                  for the performance by the Company of its obligations under
                  the Securities, except such as are specified and have been
                  obtained and such as may be required by the securities or blue
                  sky laws of the various states in connection with the offer
                  and sale of the Securities.

         In rendering such opinions, such counsel may qualify any opinions as to
enforceability by stating that such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, liquidation, moratorium and other similar laws
affecting the rights and remedies of creditors and is subject to general
principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered

                                       16
<PAGE>

in a proceeding in equity or at law). Such counsel may rely upon opinions of
other counsel (copies of which shall be delivered to the Trustee), who shall be
counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, in which case the opinion shall
state that such counsel believes he and the Trustee are entitled so to rely.
Such counsel may also state that, insofar as such opinion involves factual
matters, he has relied, to the extent he deems proper, upon certificates of
officers of the Company and its subsidiaries and certificates of public
officials.

         The Trustee shall have the right to decline to authenticate and deliver
any Securities under this Section if the Trustee, being advised by counsel,
determines that such action may not lawfully be taken by the Company or if the
Trustee in good faith by its board of directors or board of trustees, executive
committee, or a trust committee of directors or trustees or Responsible Officers
shall determine that such action would expose the Trustee to personal liability
to existing Holders or would affect the Trustee's own rights, duties or
immunities under the Securities, this Indenture or otherwise.

         Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication. Unless
otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01 for any Security, interest
on the each Security will accrue from the date of its authentication.

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

         Notwithstanding the foregoing and subject, in the case of a Security in
permanent global form, to Section 2.02, if any Security shall have been
authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the Company,
and the Company shall deliver such Security to the Trustee for cancellation as
provided in Section 3.09 together with a written statement (which need not
comply with Section 1.02 and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel)
directing such cancellation and 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 3.04. Temporary Securities.

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

         If temporary Securities of any series are issued, the Company will
cause definitive Securities of that series to be prepared without unreasonable
delay. After the preparation of

                                       17
<PAGE>

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 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.

         Section 3.05. Registration, Registration Of Transfer And Exchange.

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

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

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

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

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

         No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or
exchange of Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient
to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection
with any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, other than
exchanges pursuant to Section 3.04, 9.06 or 11.07 not involving any transfer.

                                       18
<PAGE>

         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 11.03 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.

         The provisions of Clauses (a) - (g) below shall apply only to permanent
global Securities:

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

         (b) Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Indenture, no
permanent global Security may be exchanged in whole or in part for Securities
registered, and no transfer of a permanent global Security in whole or in part
may be registered, in the name of any Person other than the Depositary for such
permanent global Security or a nominee thereof unless (i) the Depositary
notifies the Company pursuant to Clause 3.05(d) of this Section that it is
unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such permanent global Security
or if at any time the Depositary ceases to be a clearing agency registered under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (ii) if the Company in its sole
discretion determines pursuant to Clause 3.05(e) of this Section that such
permanent global Security shall be so exchangeable or transferrable and executes
and delivers to the Security Registrar a Company Order providing that such
permanent global Security shall be so exchangeable or transferrable, (iii) any
event shall have occurred and be continuing which, after notice or lapse of
time, or both, would become an Event of Default with respect to the Securities
of the series of which such permanent global Security is a part or (iv) there
shall exist such circumstances, if any, in addition or in lieu of the foregoing
as have been specified for this purpose as contemplated by Section 3.01.

         (c) Subject to Clause 3.05(b) above, any exchange of a permanent global
Security for other Securities may be made in whole or in part, and all
Securities issued in exchange for a permanent global Security or any portion
thereof shall be registered in such names as the Depositary for such permanent
global Security shall direct. The Trustee shall deliver such Securities to or as
directed by the Persons in whose names such Securities are so registered.

         (d) If at any time the Depositary for any Securities of a series
represented by one or more global Securities notifies the Company that it is
unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Securities or if at any
time the Depositary ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Company shall appoint a
successor Depositary with respect to such Securities. If a successor Depositary
for such Securities is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after the
Company receives such notice or becomes aware of such ineligibility (and in any
event before the Depositary surrenders such global Security for exchange), the
Company's election that such Securities be represented by one or more global
Securities shall no longer be effective and the Company shall execute, and the
Trustee, upon receipt of an Officers' Certificate for the authentication and
delivery of

                                       19
<PAGE>

definitive Securities of such series, will authenticate and deliver, Securities
of such series in definitive registered form without coupons, in any authorized
denominations, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of
the global Security or Securities representing such Securities in exchange for
such global Security or Securities.

         (e) The Company may at any time and in its sole discretion determine
that the Securities of any series issued in the form of one or more global
Securities shall no longer be represented by a global Security or Securities. In
such event the Company will execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of an
Officers' Certificate for the authentication and delivery of definitive
Securities of such series, will authenticate and deliver Securities of such
series in definitive registered form, in any authorized denominations, in an
aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the global Security
or Securities representing such Securities, in exchange for such global Security
or Securities.

         (f) Subject to Clause 3.05(b) above, with respect to Securities
represented by a global Security, the Depositary for such global Security may
surrender such global Security in exchange in whole or in part for Securities of
the same series in definitive registered form on such terms as are acceptable to
the Company and such Depositary. Thereupon, the Company shall execute, and the
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, without service charge,

                  (i) to the Person specified by such Depositary a new Security
         or Securities of the same series, of any authorized denomination as
         requested by such Person, in an aggregate principal amount equal to and
         in exchange for such Person's beneficial interest in the global
         Security; and

                  (ii) to such Depositary a new global Security in a
         denomination equal to the difference, if any, between the principal
         amount of the surrendered global Security and the aggregate principal
         amount of Securities authenticated and delivered pursuant to clause
         3.05(f)(i) above.

         Upon the exchange of a global Security for Securities in definitive
registered form, in authorized denominations, such global Security shall be
canceled by the Trustee.

         (g) Every Security authenticated and delivered upon registration of
transfer of, or in exchange for or in lieu of, a permanent global Security or
any portion thereof, whether pursuant to this Section, Section 3.04, 3.06, 9.06
or 11.07 or otherwise, shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and
shall be, a permanent global Security, unless such Security is registered in the
name of a Person other than the Depositary for such permanent global Security or
a nominee thereof.

         Section 3.06. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost And Stolen Securities.

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

                                       20
<PAGE>

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

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

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

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

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

         Section 3.07. Payment Of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved.

         Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 3.01 with respect
to any Security, interest on such 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; provided that if that Security or its Predecessor Security was
originally issued on a date after a Regular Record Date and before the following
Interest Payment Date, the first payment of interest on such Security will be
made on the Interest Payment Date following the next succeeding Regular Record
Date. Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01 for any
Security, interest payable at Maturity (other than on a date which is an
Interest Payment Date) will be paid to the same Person to whom the principal
amount of this Security is payable.

         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 (a) or (b) below:

                                       21
<PAGE>

         (a) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to
the Persons in whose names the Securities of such series (or their respective
Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on a Special
Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in
the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the
amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Security of such series
and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall
deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount
proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make
arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of
the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the
benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this Clause
provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment
of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 days and not less
than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days
after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The
Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such Special Record Date and, in
the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed
payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be
mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder of Securities of such series
at his address as it appears in the Security Register, not less than 10 days
prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such
Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been so mailed,
such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the
Securities of such series (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are
registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date and shall no
longer be payable pursuant to the following clause 3.07(b).

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

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

         Section 3.08. Persons Deemed Owners.

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

         Section 3.09. 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 canceled 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
canceled by the Trustee. No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in
exchange for any Securities canceled as provided in this Section, except as
expressly permitted by this Indenture. All canceled Securities held by the
Trustee shall be disposed of as directed by a Company Order.

         Section 3.10. Computation Of Interest.

         Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01 for any
Security, interest on the Securities of each series shall be computed on the
basis of a 360-day year consisting of 12 30-day months.

                           SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE

         Section 4.01. Satisfaction And Discharge Of Indenture.

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

         (a) either

                  (i) all Securities theretofore authenticated and delivered
         (other than (x) Securities which have been destroyed, lost or stolen
         and which have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 3.06 and
         (y) Securities for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited
         in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Company and thereafter
         repaid to the Company or discharged from such trust, as provided in
         Section 10.03) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or

                  (ii) all such Securities not theretofore delivered to the
         Trustee for cancellation

                           (A) have become due and payable, or

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

                           (C) 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

                                       23
<PAGE>

                  the name, and at the expense, of the Company, and the Company,
                  in the case of (A), (B) or (C) above has deposited or caused
                  to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust for
                  the purpose an amount sufficient to pay and discharge the
                  entire indebtedness on such Securities not theretofore
                  delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, for principal, and
                  any premium or interest, to the date of such deposit (in the
                  case of Securities which have become due and payable) or to
                  the Stated Maturity or Redemption Date, as the case may be;

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

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

         Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the
obligations of the Company to the Trustee under Sections 4.03(b) and 6.07, the
obligations of the Trustee to any Authenticating Agent under Section 6.14 and,
if money shall have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause
4.01(a)(ii), the obligations of the Trustee under Section 4.03 and the last
paragraph of Section 10.03 shall survive.

         Section 4.02. Defeasance Of Securities Of Any Series.

         Unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.01 with respect to any
Security, then notwithstanding Section 4.01, the Company shall be deemed to have
paid and discharged the entire indebtedness on all the Outstanding Securities of
any series on the 91st day after the date of the deposit referred to in
subparagraph 4.02(d) hereof, and the provisions of this Indenture, as it relates
to such Outstanding Securities, shall no longer be in effect (and the Trustee,
at the expense of the Company, shall at Company Request, execute proper
instruments acknowledging the same) (hereinafter called "Defeasance"), except as
to:

         (a) the rights of Holders of Securities to receive, from the trust
funds described in subparagraph 4.02(d) hereof, (i) payment of the principal of
and any premium or interest on the Outstanding Securities of that series on the
Stated Maturity of such principal or installment of principal or interest and
(ii) the benefit of any mandatory sinking fund payments or analogous payments
applicable to Securities of such series on the day on which such payments are
due and payable in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and such
Securities;

         (b) the Company's obligations with respect to such Securities under
Sections 3.05, 3.06, 4.03, 10.02 and 10.03; and

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

         provided that the following conditions have been satisfied:

         (d) with reference to this provision, the Company has irrevocably
deposited or caused to be irrevocably deposited with the Trustee as trust funds
for the purpose of making the following payments, specifically pledged as
security for, and dedicated solely to, the benefit of

                                       24
<PAGE>

the Holders of the Securities of that series, (i) money in an amount, or (ii)
U.S. Government Obligations which through the payment of interest and principal
in respect thereof in accordance with their terms will provide not later than
one day before the due date of any payment referred to in clause (A) or (B) of
this subparagraph 4.02(d) 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, to pay and discharge, and which shall be applied by the Trustee for
such purposes, (A) the principal of and any premium or interest on the
Outstanding Securities of that series on the Stated Maturity of such principal
or installment of principal or interest on the Redemption Date, as the case may
be, and (B) any mandatory sinking fund payments or analogous payments applicable
to Securities of such series on the day on which such payments are due and
payable, each in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and of such
Securities;

         (e) such Defeasance shall not cause the Trustee with respect to the
Securities of that series to have a conflicting interest as defined in Section
6.08 and for purposes of the Trust Indenture Act with respect to the Securities
of any series;

         (f) such Defeasance will 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;

         (g) such Defeasance would not cause any Outstanding Security of such
series then listed on any nationally recognized securities exchange to be then
delisted as a result thereof;

         (h) no Event of Default or event which with notice or lapse of time
would become an Event of Default with respect to Securities of the series shall
have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit or during the period
ending on the 91st day after such date;

         (i) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel
based on the fact that (x) the Company has received from, or there has been
published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (y) since the date
hereof, there has been a change in the applicable Federal income tax law, in
either case to the effect that, and such opinion shall confirm that, the Holders
of the Securities of such series will not recognize income, gain or loss for
Federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit, defeasance and
discharge and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amount and in
the same manner and at the same times, as would have been the case if such
deposit, defeasance and discharge had not occurred;

         (j) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel
stating that (i) such deposit, defeasance and discharge would not cause any
outstanding Security of such series then listed on any nationally recognized
securities exchange to be delisted as a result thereof; and (ii) and that such
Defeasance would not result in the trust arising from such deposit constituting
an investment company within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940,
as amended from time to time;

         (k) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to
the effect that after the 91st day following the deposit, the trust funds will
not be subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization or similar laws affecting creditors' rights

                                       25
<PAGE>

generally, except that if a court were to rule under any such law in any case or
proceeding that the trust funds remained property of the Company, no opinion is
given as to the effect of such laws on the trust funds except the following: (A)
assuming such trust funds remained in the Trustee's possession prior to such
court ruling to the extent not paid to Holders of Securities, the Trustee will
hold, for the benefit of such Holders, a valid and perfected security interest
in such trust funds that is not avoidable in bankruptcy or otherwise, and (B)
such Holders will be entitled to receive adequate protection of their interests
in such trust funds if such trust funds are used; and

         (l) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate
and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent provided
for relating to the Defeasance contemplated by this provision have been complied
with.

         Section 4.03. Application Of Trust Funds; Indemnification.

         (a) Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 10.03,
all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.01, all money and
U.S. Government Obligations deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.02
and all money received by the Trustee in respect of U.S. Government Obligations
deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.02 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 or
received by the Trustee or to make mandatory sinking fund payments or analogous
payments as contemplated by Section 4.02.

         (b) The Company shall pay and shall indemnify the Trustee against any
tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against U.S. Government
Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 4.02 or the interest and principal
received in respect of such obligations other than any payable by or on behalf
of Holders.

         (c) 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 4.02 which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm
of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof
delivered to the Trustee, are then in excess of the amount which then would have
been required to be deposited for the purpose for which such money or U.S.
Government Obligations were deposited or received.

         Section 4.04. Reinstatement.

         If the Trustee or the Paying Agent is unable to apply any money in
accordance with Section 4.02 or 10.06 with respect to any Securities by reason
of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining,
restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application or upon the occurrence of
an Event of Default, then the obligations under this Indenture and such
Securities from which the Company has been discharged or released pursuant to
Section 4.02 or 10.06 shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had
occurred pursuant to this Article

                                       26
<PAGE>

with respect to such Securities, until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent
is permitted to apply all money held in trust pursuant to Section 4.03 with
respect to such Securities in accordance with this Article; provided, however,
that if the Company makes any payment of principal of or any premium or interest
on any such Security following such reinstatement of its obligations, the
Company shall be subrogated to the rights (if any) of the Holders of such
Securities to receive such payment from the money so held in trust.

series when it becomes due and payable, and continuance of such default for a
period of 30 days; or

         (b) default in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on)

whose performance or whose breach is elsewhere in this Section specifically
dealt with or which has expressly been included in this Indenture solely for the
benefit of a series of Securities other than that series), and continuance of
such default or breach for a period of 90 days after there has been given, by
registered or certified mail, to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company
and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of each series affected thereby a written notice
specifying such default or breach and requiring it to be remedied and stating
that such notice is a "Notice of Default" hereunder; or

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

similar official of the Company or 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 60 consecutive days; or

                                       27

         (f) the commencement by the Company of a voluntary case or proceeding
under any applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or
other similar law or of any other case or proceeding to be adjudicated a
bankrupt or insolvent, or the consent by it to the entry of a decree or order

become due, or the taking of corporate action by the Company in furtherance of
any such action; or

         (g) any events of default provided with respect to Securities of that
series.

         Section 5.02. Acceleration Of Maturity; Rescission And Annulment.

         If an Event of Default described in clause 5.01(a), 5.01(b), 5.01(c),
5.01(d) or 5.01(g) with respect to Securities of any series at the time
Outstanding occurs and is continuing, then in every such case the Trustee or the
Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities
of such series (each such series voting as a separate class in the case of an
Event of Default under clause 5.01(a), 5.01(b), 5.01(c) or 5.01(g), and all such
series voting as one class in the case of such an Event of Default under clause
5.01(d)) may declare the principal amount (or, if any Securities are Original
Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be
specified in the terms of such Securities) of all of the Securities of such
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 any Event of Default described in clause 5.01(d) with respect to all series
of Securities then Outstanding, or any Event of Default described in clause
5.01(e) or 5.01(f) occurs and is continuing, then in every such case the Trustee
or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of all the
Outstanding Securities (voting as one class) may declare the principal amount
(or, if any Securities are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of

such declaration such principal amount (or specified amount) shall become
immediately due and payable.

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

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

                  (i) the overdue interest on all Securities of the 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 interest rate or rates
         prescribed in such Securities,

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

                  (iv) all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and
         the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of
         the Trustees, its agents and counsel and all other amounts due under
         Section 6.07; and

         (b) all Events of Default with respect to Securities of that series
other than the non-payment of the principal of Securities of that series which
have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or
waived as provided in Section 5.13.

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

         Section 5.03. Collection Of Indebtedness And Suits For Enforcement By
Trustee.

         The Company covenants that if

         (a) 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

         (b) 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, other than those incurred due to the Trustee's bad faith
or negligence.

         If the Company fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand,
the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust may institute a
judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, may
prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree and may enforce the same
against the Company or any other obligor upon such 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.

         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

                                       29
<PAGE>

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 therein, or to enforce any other
proper remedy.

         Section 5.04. Trustee May File Proofs Of Claim.

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

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

         (b) to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or
deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian,
receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official
in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such
payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the
making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any
amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and
advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the
Trustee under Section 6.07.

         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 Holders hereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in
respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

         Section 5.05. Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession Of
Securities.

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

         Section 5.06. Application Of Money Collected.

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

                                       30
<PAGE>

money on account of principal (or premium, if any) or interest, upon
presentation of the Securities and the notation thereon of the payment if only
partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid:

                           FIRST: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee
                  under this Indenture; and

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

         Section 5.07. Limitation On Suits.

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

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

         (b) 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;

         (c) 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;

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

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

         Section 5.08. Unconditional Right Of Holders To Receive Principal,
Premium And Interest.

         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 3.07) interest on such Security on the Stated Maturity or Maturities
expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on the Redemption
Date)

                                       31
<PAGE>

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 5.09. Restoration Of Rights And Remedies.

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

         Section 5.10. Rights And Remedies Cumulative.

         Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment
of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities in the last paragraph of
Section 3.06, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the
Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or
remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be
cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or
now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or
employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the
concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

         Section 5.11. Delay Or Omission Not Waiver.

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

         Section 5.12. Control By Holders.

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

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

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

         (c) the Trustee shall have the right to decline any direction with
respect to which a Responsible Officer reasonably determines such direction
will cause the Trustee to incur any liability for which it shall not have been
adequately indemnified pursuant to Section 5.07.

         Section 5.13. Waiver Of Past Defaults.

         The Holders of (i) not less than a majority in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of any series (each such series voting as a separate
class) may on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series waive any
past default or Event of Default described in clause 5.01(d) which relates to
less than all series of Outstanding Securities or described in clause 5.01(g)
with respect to such series and its consequences, or (ii) not less than a
majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities affected thereby
(voting as one class) may on behalf of the Holders of all the Outstanding
Securities affected thereby waive any past default or Event of Default described
in said clause 5.01(d) which relates to all such Outstanding Securities and its
consequences, except in any such case a default

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

         (b) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article 9
cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each
Outstanding Security of such series affected.

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

         Section 5.14. Undertaking For Costs.

         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 that such court may in
its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees,
against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and
good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the
provisions of this Section shall not apply to any suit instituted by the
Company, to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any
Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the aggregate more than 25% in principal
amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series or to any suit instituted by
any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of (or premium,
if any) or interest on any Security on or after the Stated Maturity or
Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on or
after the Redemption Date).

         Section 5.15. Waiver Of Usury, Stay Or Extension Law.

         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 of 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

                                       33
<PAGE>

the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as
though no such law had been enacted.

                                  THE TRUSTEE

         Section 6.01. Certain Duties And Responsibilities.

         (a) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default,

                  (i) the Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only
         such duties as specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied
         covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the
         Trustee; and

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

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

         (c) No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the
Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure
to act, or its own wilful misconduct, except that

                  (i) this Subsection shall not be construed to limit the effect
         of Subsection 6.01(a);

                  (ii) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment
         made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it shall be proved
         that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;

                  (iii) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any
         action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance
         with the direction of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of
         the Outstanding Securities of any series, determined as provided in
         Section 5.12, relating to the time, method and place of conducting any
         proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any
         trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Indenture with
         respect to the Securities of such series; and

                  (iv) 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

                                       34
<PAGE>

         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.

         (d) 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 6.02. Notice Of Defaults.

         Within 90 days after receipt by the Trustee of written notice of the
occurrence of any default hereunder with respect to the Securities of any series
the Trustee shall transmit in the manner and to the extent provided in Section
7.03(d), notice of such default hereunder known to the Trustee, unless such
default shall have been cured or waived; provided, however, that, except in the
case of a default in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or
interest on any Security of such series or in the payment of any sinking fund
installment with respect to Securities of such series, the Trustee shall be
protected in withholding such notice if and so long as the board of directors,
the executive committee or a trust committee of directors or Responsible
Officers of the Trustee in good faith determine that the withholding of such
notice is in the interest of the Holders of Securities of such series; and
provided, further, that in the case of any default of the character specified in
Section 5.01(d) with respect to Securities of such series, no such notice to
Holders shall be given until at least 30 days after the occurrence thereof. For
the purpose of this Section, the term "default," means any event which is, or
after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default with
respect to Securities of such series.

         Section 6.03. Certain Rights Of Trustee.

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

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

discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture; and

         (i) The Trustee's immunities and protections from liability and its
rights to compensation and indemnification in connection with the performance of
its duties under this Indenture shall extend to the Trustee's officers,
directors, agents and employees. Such immunities and protections and right to
indemnification, together with the Trustee's right to compensation, shall
survive the Trustee's resignation or removal and final payment of the
Securities.

         Section 6.04. 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 the Trustee or any Authenticating Agent assumes no
responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to
the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Securities. The Trustee
or any Authenticating Agent shall not be accountable for the use or application
by the Company of Securities or the proceeds thereof.

         Section 6.05. May Hold Securities.

         The Trustee, any Authenticating Agent, any Paying Agent, any Security

         The Company agrees

trust);

         (b) to reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable

         Section 6.09. Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility.

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

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

appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment in accordance
with the applicable requirements of Section 6.11, 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

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.

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 6.11(a) or 6.11(b), as the case may be.

of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such
corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article,
without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of
any of the parties hereto. In case any Securities shall have been authenticated,
but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger,
conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such
authentication and deliver the Securities so authenticated with the same effect
as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Securities.

         Section 6.13. Preferential Collection Of Claims.

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

         Section 6.14. Appointment Of Authenticating Agent.

         At any time 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, exchange, registration of transfer or partial redemption
thereof or pursuant to Section 3.06, and Securities so authenticated shall be
entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for
all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. Wherever reference is
made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Securities by the
Trustee or the Trustee's certificate of authentication, such reference shall be
deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an
Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of
the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent shall be
acceptable to the Company and shall at all times be a corporation organized and
doing business under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof
or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to act as Authenticating
Agent, having a combined capital and surplus of not less than $50,000,000 and
subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State authority. If such
Authenticating Agent publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant
to law or to the requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then
for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such
Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as
set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time an
Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of this Section, such Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately
in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section.

         Any corporation into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or
converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting
from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent
shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate agency or
corporate trust business of an Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be an
Authenticating Agent, provided such corporation shall be otherwise eligible
under this Section, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further
act on the part of the Trustee or such Authenticating Agent.

         An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice
thereof to the Trustee and to the Company. The Trustee may at any time terminate
the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice thereof to such
Authenticating Agent and to the Company. Upon receiving such a notice of
resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time such
Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of this Section, the Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating
Agent which shall be acceptable to the Company and shall mail written notice of
such appointment by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to all Holders of
Securities of the series with respect to which such Authenticating Agent will
serve, as their names and addresses appear in the Security Register.

                                       41

Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder
shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor
hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent.
No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the
provisions of this Section.

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

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

                HOLDERS' LIST AND REPORTS BY TRUSTEE AND COMPANY

         Section 7.01. Company To Furnish Trustee Names And Addresses Of
Holders.

         The Company will furnish or cause to be furnished to the Trustee

         (a) semi-annually a list, in such form as the Trustee may reasonably
require, of the names and addresses of the Holders as of the date of such list,
and

         (b) at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, within
30 days after the receipt by the Company of any such request, a list of similar
form and content as of a date not more than 15 days prior to the time such list
is furnished, excluding from any such list names and addresses received by the
Trustee in its capacity as Security Registrar.

         Section 7.02. Preservation Of Information; Communications To Holders.

         (a) The Trustee shall preserve, in as current a form as is reasonably
practicable, the names and addresses of Holders contained in the most recent
list furnished to the Trustee as provided in Section 7.01 and the names and
addresses of Holders received by the Trustee in its capacity as Security
Registrar. The Trustee may destroy any list furnished to it as provided in
Section 7.01 upon receipt of a new list so furnished.

         (b) If three or more Holders of Securities of any series (herein
referred to as "applicants") apply in writing to the Trustee, and furnish to the
Trustee reasonable proof that each such applicant has owned a Security of such
series for a period of at least six months preceding the date of such
application, and such application states that the applicants desire to
communicate with other Holders of such series or with Holders of all other
series of Securities with respect to their rights under this Indenture or under
such Securities and is accompanied by a copy of the form of proxy or other
communication which such applicants propose to transmit, then the Trustee shall,
within five business days after the receipt of such application, at its
election, either

                  (i) afford such applicants access to the information preserved
         at the time by the Trustee in accordance with Section 7.02(a), or

                  (ii) inform such applicants as to the approximate number of
         Holders of such series of Securities or Holders of all other series of
         Securities whose names and addresses appear in the information
         preserved at the time by the Trustee in accordance with Section
         7.02(a), and as to the approximate cost of mailing to the Holders of
         such series of Securities or the Holders of all series of Securities
         the form of proxy or other communication, if any, specified in such
         application.

         If the Trustee shall elect not to afford such applicants access to such
information, the Trustee shall, upon the written request of such applicants,
mail to each Holder of such series of Securities or of all series of Securities
or of all series of Securities whose name and address appear in the information
preserved at the time by the Trustee in accordance with Section 7.02(a) a copy
of the form of proxy or other communication which is specified in such request,
with

                                       43
<PAGE>

reasonable promptness after a tender to the Trustee of the material to be mailed
and of payment, or provision for the payment, of the reasonable expenses of
mailing, unless within five days after such tender the Trustee shall mail to
such applicants and file with the Commission, together with a copy of the
material to be mailed, a written statement to the effect that, in the opinion of
the Trustee, such mailing would be contrary to the best interest of the relevant
Holders or would be in violation of applicable law. Such written statement shall
specify the basis of such opinion. If the Commission, after opportunity for a
hearing upon the objections specified in the written statement so filed, shall
enter an order refusing to sustain any of such objections or if, after the entry
of an order sustaining one or more of such objections, the Commission shall
find, after notice and opportunity for hearing, that all the objections so
sustained have been met and shall enter an order so declaring, the Trustee shall
mail copies of such material to all such Holders with reasonable promptness
after the entry of such order and the renewal of such tender; otherwise the
Trustee shall be relieved of any obligation or duty to such applicants
respecting their application.

         (c) Every Holder of Securities, by receiving and holding the same,
agrees with the Company and the Trustee that neither the Company nor the Trustee
nor any agent of either of them shall be held accountable by reason of the
disclosure of any such information as to the names and addresses of the Holders
in accordance with Section 7.02(b), regardless of the source from which such
information was derived, and that the Trustee shall not be held accountable by
reason of mailing any material pursuant to a request made under Section 7.02(b).

         claim a lien or charge, prior to that of the Securities, on any
         property or funds held or collected by it as Trustee, except that the
         Trustee shall not be required (but may elect) to report such advances
         if such advances so remaining unpaid aggregate not more than one-half
         of one percent of the principal amount of the Securities Outstanding of
         such series on the date of such report;

                  (iii) any change to the amount, interest rate and maturity

         indebtedness based upon a creditor relationship arising in any manner

         duties hereunder which it has not previously reported and which in its
         opinion materially affects the Securities, except action in respect of
         a default, notice of which has been or is to be withheld by the Trustee
         in accordance with Section 6.02.

         (b) The Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Holders, as provided in
subsection 7.03(c), a brief report with respect to the character and amount of
any advances (and if the Trustee elects so to state, the circumstances
surrounding the making thereof) made by the Trustee (as such) since the date of
the last report transmitted pursuant to Subsection 7.03(a) (or if no such report
has yet been so transmitted, since the date of execution of this instrument) for
the reimbursement of which it claims or may claim a lien or charge, prior to
that of the Securities, on property or funds held or collected by it as Trustee
and which it has not previously reported pursuant to this Subsection, except

         of such Holders appear in the Security Register as of a date not more

consolidations or mergers in which the Company or its successor or successors
shall be a party or parties or shall prevent any sale or conveyance of all or
substantially all of the property of the Company to any other corporation
authorized to acquire and operate the same; provided, that in any such case, (i)
either the Company shall be the continuing corporation, or the successor
corporation (if other than the Company) shall be a corporation organized and
existing under the laws of the United States of America or a State thereof and
such corporation shall expressly assume the due and punctual payment of the
principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on all the Securities, according

than a conveyance by way of lease) and upon any such assumption by the successor
corporation, such successor corporation shall succeed to and be substituted for
the Company, with the same effect as if it had been named herein as the party of
the first part, and the Company thereupon shall be relieved of any further
liability or obligation hereunder or upon the Securities and may thereupon or at
any time thereafter be dissolved, wound up or liquidated. Such successor
corporation thereupon may cause to be signed, and may issue either in its own
name or in the name of R.H. Donnelley Corporation, any or all of the Securities
issuable hereunder which theretofore shall not have been signed by the Company
and delivered to the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent; and upon the order of

the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver any Securities which
previously shall have been signed and delivered by the officers of the Company
to the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent for authentication, and any
Securities which such successor corporation thereafter shall cause to be signed
and delivered to the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent for that purpose. All
the Securities so issued shall in all respects have the same legal rank and
benefit under this Indenture as the Securities theretofore or thereafter issued
in accordance with the terms of this Indenture as though all of such Securities
had been issued at the date of the execution hereof.

         In the case of any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, such
change in phraseology and form (but not in substance) may be made in the
Securities thereafter to be issued as may be appropriate.

         Section 8.03. Evidence To Be Furnished To The Trustee.

         The Trustee, subject to the provisions of Sections 6.01 and 6.03, may
receive and rely upon an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel as
conclusive evidence that any consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, and any
such assumption complies with the provisions of this Article 8.

         (a) to evidence the succession of another corporation to the Company
and the assumption by any such successor of the covenants of the Company herein
and in the Securities; or

         (b) to add to the covenants of the Company for the benefit of the
Holders of all or any series of Securities (and if such covenants are to be for
the benefit of less than all series of Securities, stating that such covenants
are expressly being included solely for the benefit of such series) or to
surrender any right or power herein conferred upon the Company; or

         (c) to add any additional Events of Default for the benefit of the
Holders of all or any series of Securities (and if such additional Events of
Default are to be for the benefit of less than all series of Securities, stating
that such additional Events of Default are expressly being included solely for
the benefit of the relevant series) or to surrender any right or power herein
conferred upon the Company; or

         (d) to add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture to such
extent as shall be necessary to permit or facilitate the issuance of Securities
in bearer form, registrable or not registrable as to principal, and with or
without interest coupons, or permit or facilitate the issuance of Securities in
uncertificated form; or

         (e) to add to, change or eliminate any of the provisions of this
Indenture in respect of one or more series of Securities, provided that any such
addition, change or elimination (A) shall neither (i) apply to Securities of any
series created prior to the execution of such supplemental indenture and
entitled to the benefit of such provision nor (ii) modify the rights of the
Holder of such Securities with respect to such provision or (B) shall become
effective only when there is no such Security Outstanding; or

         (f) to secure the Securities; or

         (g) to establish the form or terms of Securities of any series as
permitted by Sections 2.01 and 3.01; or

         (h) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment hereunder
by a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more series and
to add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be
necessary to provide for and facilitate the administration of the trusts
hereunder by more than one Trustee, pursuant to the requirements of Section
6.11(b); or

         (i) to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provision
herein which may be inconsistent with any other provision herein, or to make any
other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under this
Indenture; provided such action shall not adversely affect the interests of the

         Section 9.02. Supplemental Indentures With Consent Of Holders.

         With the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in
principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of each series affected by such
supplemental indenture voting as one class, by Act of said Holders delivered to
the Company and the Trustee, the Company, when

                                       48
<PAGE>

authorized by a Board Resolution, and the Trustee may enter into an indenture or
indentures supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding any provisions to or
changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture or
of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Securities of such
series under the Indenture; provided, however, that no such supplemental
indenture shall, without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security
affected thereby,

         (a) change the Stated Maturity of the principal of, or any installment
of principal of or interest on, any Security, or reduce the principal amount
thereof or the rate of interest thereon or any premium payable upon the
redemption thereof, or reduce the amount of the principal of an Original Issue
Discount Security that would be due and payable upon a declaration of
acceleration of the Maturity thereof pursuant to Section 5.02, or change any
Place of Payment where, or the coin or currency in which, any Security or any
premium or the interest thereon is payable, or impair the right to institute
suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after the Stated Maturity
thereof (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date), or

         (b) reduce the percentage in principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities of any series, the consent of whose Holders is required for any such
supplemental indenture, or the consent of whose Holders is required for any
waiver (of compliance with certain provisions of this Indenture or certain
defaults hereunder and their consequences) provided for in this Indenture, or

         (c) modify any of the provisions of this Section or Section 5.13,
except to increase any such percentage or to provide that certain other
provisions of this Indenture cannot be modified or waived without the consent of
the Holder of each Outstanding Security affected thereby; provided, however,
that this clause shall not be deemed to require the consent of any Holder with
respect to changes in the references to "the Trustee" and concomitant changes in
this Section, or the deletion of this proviso, in accordance with the
requirements of Sections 6.11(b) and 9.01(h).

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

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

         Section 9.03. Execution Of Supplemental Indentures.

         In executing, or accepting the additional trusts created by, any
supplemental indenture permitted by this Article or the modifications thereby of
the trusts created by this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive,
and (subject to Section 6.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an
Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such supplemental indenture is
authorized or permitted by this Indenture. The Trustee may, but shall not be
obligated to, enter

                                       49
<PAGE>

into any such supplemental indenture which affects the Trustee's own rights,
duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

         Section 9.04. Effect Of Supplemental Indentures.

         Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture under this Article,
this Indenture shall be modified in accordance therewith, and such supplemental
indenture shall form a part of this Indenture for all purposes; and every Holder
of Securities theretofore or thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder
shall be bound thereby.

         Section 9.05. Conformity With Trust Indenture Act.

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

         Section 9.06. Reference In Securities To Supplemental Indentures.

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

                                   ARTICLE 10
                                    COVENANTS

         Section 10.01. Payment Of Principal, Premium And Interest.

         The Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of each series of
Securities that it will duly and punctually pay or cause to be paid the
principal of (and premium, if any) and any interest on each of the Securities of
that series in accordance with the terms of the Securities and this Indenture.

         Section 10.02. Maintenance Of Office Or Agency.

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

                                       50
<PAGE>

         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 designation; 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 and the
Holders of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location
of any such other office or agency.

         Section 10.03. Money For Securities Payments To Be Held In Trust.

         (a) If the Company shall appoint a paying agent other than the Trustee
with respect to the Securities of any series, it will cause such paying agent to
execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such agent shall agree
with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section 10.03:

                  (i) that it will hold all sums held by it as such agent for
         the payment of the principal of and premium, if any, or interest, if
         any, on the Securities of such series (whether such sums have been paid
         to it by the Company or by any other obligor on the Securities of such
         series) in trust for the benefit of the holders of the Securities of
         such series;

                  (ii) that it will give the Trustee notice of any failure by
         the Company (or by any other obligor on the Securities of such series)
         to make any payment of the principal of and premium, if any, or
         interest, if any, on the Securities of such series when the same shall
         be due and payable; and

                  (iii) at any time during the continuance of any such default,
         upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee
         all sums so held in trust by such Paying Agent.

         (b) If the Company shall at any time act as its own Paying Agent it
will, on or before each due date of the principal of (and premium, if any) or
interest, if any, on the Securities of any series, set aside, segregate and hold
in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a sum sufficient to pay
such principal (and premium, if any) or interest so becoming due and will notify
the Trustee of any failure to take such action and of any failure by the Company
(or by any other obligor under the Securities of such series) to make any
payment of the principal of and premium, if any, or interest, if any, on the
Securities of such series when the same shall become due and payable.

         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.

                                       51
<PAGE>
         Any money deposited with the Trustee (except pursuant to Section 4.02)
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; provided, however,
that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such
repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be published once, in a
newspaper published in the English language, customarily published on each
Business Day and of general circulation in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of
New York, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date
specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such
publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid
to the Company.

         Section 10.04. Defeasance Of Certain Obligations.

         The Company may omit to comply, on or after the date the conditions set
forth in subsections (a) to (f) of this Section 10.04 are satisfied, with any
term, provision or condition set forth in any negative or restrictive covenant
of the Company applicable to the Securities of such series (hereafter called
"Covenant Defeasance") that is specified pursuant to Section 3.01(j), if

         (a) With reference to this Section 10.04, the Company has irrevocably
deposited or caused to be irrevocably deposited with the Trustee as trust funds
for the purpose of making the following payments, specifically pledged as
security for, and dedicated solely to, the benefit of the Holders of the
Securities of that series, (i) money in an amount, or (ii) U.S. Government
Obligations which through the payment of interest and principal in respect
thereof in accordance with their terms will provide not later than one day
before the due date of any payment referred to in clause (A) or (B) of this
subparagraph 10.04(a) 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, to pay and discharge, and which shall be applied by the Trustee for
such purposes, (A) the principal of and any premium or interest on the
Outstanding Securities of that series on the Stated Maturity of such principal
or installment of principal or interest or the Redemption Date, as the case may
be, and (B) any mandatory sinking fund payments or analogous payments applicable
to

         Securities of such series on the day on which such payments are due and
payable, each in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and of such
Securities;

         (b) Such Covenant Defeasance shall not cause the Trustee with respect
to the Securities of that series to have a conflicting interest as defined in
Section 6.08 and for purposes of the Trust Indenture Act with respect to the
Securities of any series;

         (c) Such Covenant Defeasance will 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;

                                       52
<PAGE>

         (d) Such Defeasance would not cause any Outstanding Security of such
series then listed on any nationally recognized securities exchange to be then
delisted as a result thereof;

         (e) No Event of Default or event which with notice or lapse of time
would become an Event of Default with respect to Securities of that series shall
have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit or during the period
ending on the 91st day after such date;

         (f) The Company has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel
stating that (i) Holders of the Securities of such series will not recognize
income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit
and Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same
amount and in the same manner and at the same times, as would have been the case
if such deposit and Covenant Defeasance had not occurred; (ii) such Covenant
Defeasance would not cause any outstanding Security of such series then listed
on any nationally recognized securities exchange to be delisted as a result
thereof; and (iii) such deposit would not result in the trust arising from such
deposit constituting an investment company within the meaning of the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended from time to time;

         (g) The Company has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to
the effect that after the 91st day following the deposit, the trust funds will
not be subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization or similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally, except
that if a court were to rule under any such law in any case or proceeding that
the trust funds remained property of the Company, no opinion is given as to the
effect of such laws on the trust funds except the following: (A) assuming such
trust funds remained in the Trustee's possession prior to such court ruling to
the extent not paid to Holders of Securities, the Trustee will hold, for the
benefit of such Holders, a valid and perfected security interest in such trust
funds that is not avoidable in bankruptcy or otherwise, and (B) such Holders
will be entitled to receive adequate protection of their interests in such trust
funds if such trust funds are used; and

         (h) 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 defeasance contemplated by this Section have been
complied with.

         Section 10.05. Certificate Of Officers Of The Company.

         On or before [_________] of each year beginning with the year
[_________], so long as Securities of any series are Outstanding hereunder, the
Company will file with the Trustee an Officers' Certificate, one of the signers
of which shall be the principal financial officer, the principal accounting
officer or the principal executive officer of the Company, stating whether or
not to the best knowledge of the signer thereof the Company is in default in the
performance and observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of
this Indenture, and, if the Company shall be in default, specifying all such
defaults and the nature and status thereof of which they may have knowledge. For
purposes of this paragraph, any such default shall be determined without regard
to any period of grace or requirement of notice provided in this Indenture.

                            REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES

         Section 11.01. Applicability Of Article.

         Any Securities that are redeemable before their Stated Maturity shall
be redeemable in accordance with their terms and (except as otherwise specified
as contemplated by Section 3.01 for any Securities) in accordance with this
Article.

         Section 11.02. Election To Redeem; Notice To Trustee.

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

         Section 11.03. Selection By Trustee Of Securities To Be Redeemed.

         If less than all the Securities of any series are to be redeemed
(unless all of the Securities of a specified tenor are to be redeemed), the
particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 60 days
prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee, from the Outstanding Securities of
such series not previously called for redemption, by such method as the Trustee
shall deem fair and appropriate and which may provide for the selection for
redemption of portions (equal to the minimum authorized denomination for
Securities of that series or any multiple thereof) of the principal amount of
Securities of such series of a denomination larger than the minimum authorized
denomination for Securities of that series. If less than all of the Securities
of such series and of a specified tenor are to be redeemed, the particular
Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 45 days prior to the
Redemption Date by the Trustee, from the Outstanding Securities of such series
and specified tenor not previously called for redemption in accordance with the
preceding sentence.

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

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

         Section 11.04. Notice Of Redemption.

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

         All notices of redemption shall state:

         (a) the Redemption Date,

         (b) the Redemption Price,

         (c) if less than all the Outstanding Securities of any series are to be
redeemed, the identification (and, in the case of partial redemption, the
principal amounts) of the particular Securities to be redeemed,

         (d) 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,

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

         (f) that the redemption is for a sinking fund, if such is the case.
Notice of redemption of Securities to be redeemed at the election of the Company
shall be given by the Company or, at the Company's request, by the Trustee in
the name and at the expense of the Company and shall be irrevocable. The notice
of redemption mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively
presumed to have been duly given whether or not the Holder receives such notice.
In any case, failure to give such notice by mail or any defect in the notice to
the Holder of any Security shall not affect the validity of the proceeding for
the redemption of any other Security.

         Section 11.05. Deposit Of Redemption Price.

         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 10.03) an amount of money sufficient to pay the Redemption
Price of, and accrued interest on, all the Securities which are to be redeemed
on that date.

         Section 11.06. Securities Payable On Redemption Date.

         Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Securities so
to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the
Redemption Price 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 installments of interest whose
Stated Maturity is on or

                                       55
<PAGE>

prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders of such Securities,
or one or more Predecessor Securities, registered as such at the close of
business on the relevant Record Dates according to their terms and the
provisions of Section 3.07.

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

         Section 11.07. Securities Redeemed In Part.

         Any Security which is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered
at a Place of Payment 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. If a Security in permanent global form is so
surrendered, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver to the Depositary for such Security in permanent global form, without
service charge to the Holder, a new Security in permanent global form in a
denomination equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the
principal of the Security in permanent global form so surrendered.

                                  SINKING FUNDS

         Section 12.01. Applicability Of Article.

         The provisions of this Article shall be applicable to any sinking fund
for the retirement of Securities of a series except as otherwise specified as
contemplated by Section 3.01 for Securities of such series.

         The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the
terms of Securities of any series is herein referred to as a "mandatory sinking
fund payment," and any payment in excess of such minimum amount provided for by
the terms of Securities of any series is herein referred to as an "optional
sinking fund payment." If provided for by the terms of Securities of any series,
the cash amount of any sinking fund payment may be subject to reduction as
provided in Section 12.02. Each sinking fund payment shall be applied to the
redemption of Securities of any series as provided for by the terms of
Securities of such series.

         Section 12.02. Satisfaction Of Sinking Fund Payments With Securities.

         The Company (a) may deliver Outstanding Securities of a series (other

Securities of this series at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with
such request, and shall have failed to institute any such proceeding, for 60
days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The foregoing
shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Security for the
enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or any premium or interest hereon
on or after the respective due dates expressed herein.

         No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security
or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which
is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of (and premium, if any) and
