               shall apply and, if other provisions shall apply, such other
               provisions; (y) whether interest in respect of any portion of a
               temporary Bearer Security of the series (delivered pursuant to
               Section 2.08) payable in respect of any interest payment date
               prior to the exchange of such temporary Bearer Security for
               definitive Bearer Securities of the series shall be paid to any
               clearing organization with respect to the portion of such
               temporary Bearer Security held for its account and, in such
               event, the terms and conditions (including any certification
               requirements) upon which any such interest payment received by a
               clearing organization will be credited to the Persons entitled to
               interest payable on such interest payment date; and (z) the terms
               upon which a temporary Bearer Security may be exchanged for one
               or more definitive Bearer Securities of the series;

                    (12) if the amount of principal of or any premium or
               interest on Debt Securities of the series may be determined with
               reference to an index or pursuant to a formula, the manner in
               which such amounts will be determined;

                    (13) if the principal amount payable at the Stated Maturity
               of Debt Securities of the series will not be determinable as of

               any such date (or, in any such case, the manner in which such

               of, and premium, if any, and interest on, Debt Securities of the
               series shall be payable;

                    (16) if other than the principal amount thereof, the portion
               of the principal amount of Debt Securities of the series which
               shall be payable upon declaration of acceleration of the maturity
               thereof pursuant to Section 6.01 or provable in bankruptcy
               pursuant to Section 6.02;

                    (17) any addition to or change in the Events of Default with

               the terms and conditions, if any, upon which such Global Security
               or Securities may be exchanged in whole or in part for other
               individual Debt Securities in definitive registered form; and the
               Depositary for such Global Security or Securities and the form of

                    (20) the applicability of, and any addition to or change in
               the covenants and definitions currently set forth in this
               Indenture or in the terms currently set forth in Article X;

                    (21) with regard to Debt Securities of the series that do
               not bear interest, the dates for certain required reports to the
               Trustee;

                    (22) the terms of any repurchase or remarketing rights of
               third parties; and

               (which terms shall not be prohibited by the provisions of this
               Indenture).

          All Debt Securities of any one series and the Coupons, if any,
appertaining thereto shall be substantially identical except as to denomination
and except as may otherwise be provided in or pursuant to such resolution of the
Board of Directors and as set forth in such Officers' Certificate or in any such
Indenture supplemental hereto.

          SECTION 2.04   Execution of Debt Securities. The Debt Securities and
                         ----------------------------
the Coupons, if any, shall be signed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman of
the Board, its Vice Chairman, its President or a Vice President and by its
Secretary, an Assistant Secretary, a Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer. Such
signatures upon the Debt Securities and Coupons may be the manual or facsimile
signatures of the present or any future such authorized officers and may be
imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the Debt Securities and Coupons. The seal
of the Company, if any, may be in the form of a facsimile thereof and may be
impressed, affixed, imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the Debt Securities and
Coupons.

          Only such Debt Securities and Coupons as shall bear thereon a
certificate of authentication substantially in the form hereinbefore recited,
signed manually by the Trustee, shall be entitled to the benefits of this
Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose. Such certificate by the
Trustee upon any Debt Security or Coupon executed by the Company shall be
conclusive evidence that the Debt Security or Coupon so authenticated has been
duly authenticated and delivered hereunder.

          In case any officer of the Company who shall have signed any of the
Debt Securities or Coupons shall cease to be such officer before the Debt
Securities or Coupons so signed shall have been authenticated and delivered by
the Trustee, or disposed of by the Company, such Debt Securities or Coupons
nevertheless may be authenticated and delivered or disposed of as though the
Person who signed such Debt Securities or Coupons had not ceased to be such
officer of the Company; and any Debt Security or Coupon may be signed on behalf
of the Company by such Persons as, at the actual date of the execution of such
Debt Security or Coupon, shall be the proper officers of the Company, although
at the date of such Debt Security or Coupon or of the execution of this
Indenture any such Person was not such officer.

          SECTION 2.05   Authentication and Delivery of Debt Securities. At any
                         ----------------------------------------------
time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture,
the Company may deliver Debt Securities, with appropriate Coupons, if any, of
any series executed by the Company to the Trustee for authentication, together
with a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of

                                       13
<PAGE>

such Debt Securities, and the Trustee shall thereupon authenticate and deliver
said Debt Securities and Coupons in accordance with the Company Order. In
authenticating such Debt Securities and Coupons, and accepting the additional
responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Debt Securities and
Coupons, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 7.01)
shall be fully protected in relying upon:

                    (1) a copy of any resolution or resolutions of the Board of
               Directors, certified by the Secretary or Assistant Secretary of
               the Company, authorizing the terms of issuance and the form of
               any series of Debt Securities and Coupons or authorizing the
               approval of any such terms of issuance and form by an officer of
               the Company;

                    (2) an executed supplemental indenture, if any;

                    (3) an Officers' Certificate; and

                    (4) an Opinion of Counsel prepared in accordance with
               Section 12.05 which shall also state:

               (a) that the form of such Debt Securities and Coupons has been
          established by or pursuant to a resolution of the Board of Directors
          or by a supplemental indenture as permitted by Section 2.01 in
          conformity with the provisions of this Indenture;

               (b) that the terms of such Debt Securities and Coupons have been
          established by or pursuant to a resolution of the Board of Directors
          or by a supplemental indenture as permitted by Section 2.03 in
          conformity with the provisions of this Indenture;

               (c) that such Debt Securities and Coupons, when authenticated and
          delivered by the Trustee and issued by the Company in the manner and
          subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will
          constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company,
          enforceable in accordance with their terms except as (i) the
          enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or
          similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally
          and (ii) rights of acceleration and the availability of equitable
          remedies may be limited by equitable principles of general
          applicability;

               (d) that the Company has the corporate power to issue such Debt
          Securities and Coupons and has duly taken all necessary corporate
          action with respect to such issuance;

               (e) that the issuance of such Debt Securities and Coupons will
          not contravene the certificate of incorporation or by-laws of the
          Company or result in any material violation of any of the terms or
          provisions of any law or regulation or of any indenture, mortgage or
          other agreement known to such counsel by which the Company is bound;

               (f) that authentication and delivery of such Debt Securities and
          Coupons and the execution and delivery of any supplemental indenture
          will not violate the terms of this Indenture; and

                                       14
<PAGE>

               (g) such other matters as the Trustee may reasonably request.

          Such Opinion of Counsel need express no opinion as to whether a court
in the United States would render a money judgment in a currency other than that
of the United States.

          The Trustee shall have the right to decline to authenticate and
deliver any Debt Securities or Coupons under this Section 2.05 if the Trustee,
being advised by counsel, determines that such action may not lawfully be taken
or if the Trustee in good faith by its board of directors or trustees, executive
committee or a trust committee of directors, trustees or vice presidents shall
determine that such action would expose the Trustee to personal liability to
existing Holders.

          The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent reasonably acceptable
to the Company to authenticate Debt Securities and Coupons, if any, of any
series. Unless limited by the terms of such appointment, an authenticating agent
may authenticate Debt Securities whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference
in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by
such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as any Registrar, paying
agent or agent for service of notices and demands.

          Unless otherwise provided in the form of Debt Security for any series,
each Debt Security shall be dated the date of its authentication.

          SECTION 2.06   Denomination of Debt Securities. Unless otherwise
                         -------------------------------
provided in the form of Debt Security for any series, the Debt Securities of
each series shall be issuable only as Registered Securities in such
denominations as shall be specified or contemplated by Section 2.03. In the
absence of any such specification with respect to the Debt Securities of any
series, the Debt Securities of such series shall be issuable in denominations of
$1,000 and any integral multiple thereof .

          SECTION 2.07   Registration of Transfer and Exchange. (a) The Company
                         -------------------------------------
shall keep or cause to be kept a register for each series of Registered
Securities issued hereunder (hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Debt
Security Register"), in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may
prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of Registered
Securities and the transfer of Registered Securities as provided in this Article
II. At all reasonable times the Debt Security Register shall be open for
inspection by the Trustee. Subject to Section 2.15, upon due presentment for
registration of transfer of any Registered Security at any office or agency to
be maintained by the Company in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.02,
the Company shall execute and, upon receipt of a Company Order requesting
authentication and delivery, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in the
name of the transferee or transferees a new Registered Security or Registered
Securities of authorized denominations for a like aggregate principal amount.
Except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 2.03, in no event may
Registered Securities, including Registered Securities received in exchange for
Bearer Securities, be exchanged for Bearer Securities.

          Unless and until otherwise determined by the Company by resolution of
the Board of Directors, the register of the Company for the purpose of
registration, exchange or registration of transfer of the Registered Securities
shall be kept at the corporate trust office of the Trustee and, for this
purpose, the Trustee shall be designated "Registrar".

                                       15
<PAGE>

          Registered Securities of any series (other than a Global Security,
except as set forth below) may be exchanged for a like aggregate principal
amount of Registered Securities of the same series of other authorized
denominations. Subject to Section 2.15, Registered Securities to be exchanged
shall be surrendered at the office or agency to be maintained by the Company as
provided in Section 4.02, and the Company shall execute and, upon receipt of a
Company Order requesting the authentication and delivery, the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor the Registered Security or
Registered Securities which the Holder making the exchange shall be entitled to
receive.

          At the option of the Holder of Bearer Securities of any series, except
as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.03(7) or 2.03(18) with
respect to a Global Security representing Bearer Securities, Bearer Securities
of such series may be exchanged for Registered Securities (if the Debt
Securities of such series are issuable as Registered Securities) or Bearer
Securities of the same series, of any authorized denomination or denominations,
of like tenor and aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Bearer
Securities to be exchanged at the office or agency of the Company maintained for
such purpose, with all unmatured Coupons and all matured Coupons in Default
thereto appertaining; provided, however, that delivery of a Bearer Security
                      --------  -------
shall occur only outside the United States. If such Holder is unable to produce
any such unmatured Coupon or Coupons or matured Coupon or Coupons in Default,
such exchange may be effected if such Holder's Bearer Securities are accompanied
by payment in funds acceptable to the Company and the Trustee in an amount equal
to the face amount of such missing Coupon or Coupons, or the surrender of such
missing Coupon or Coupons may be waived by the Company and the Trustee if there
be furnished to them such security or indemnity as they may require to save each
of them and any paying agent harmless. If thereafter such Holder shall surrender
to any paying agent any such missing Coupon in respect of which such a payment
shall have been made, such Holder shall be entitled to receive the amount of
such payment; provided, however, that, except as otherwise provided in Section
              --------  -------
2.12, interest represented by Coupons shall be payable only upon presentation
and surrender of those Coupons at an office or agency located outside the United
States.

          Whenever any Debt Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the
Company shall execute, and, upon receipt of a Company Order requesting the
authentication and delivery, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the
Debt Securities that the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

          Notwithstanding the foregoing, the exchange of Bearer Securities for
Registered Securities will be subject to the provisions of United States income
tax laws and regulations applicable to Debt Securities in effect at the time of
such exchange.

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

                                       16
<PAGE>

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

          No service charge shall be made for any exchange or registration of
transfer of Debt Securities (except as provided by Section 2.09), but the
Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto, other than those
expressly provided in this Indenture to be made at the Company's own expense or
without expense or without charge to the Holders.

          The Company shall not be required (a) to issue, register the transfer
of or exchange any Debt Securities for a period of 15 days next preceding the
day of any mailing of notice of redemption of Debt Securities of such series or
(b) to register the transfer of or exchange any Debt Securities selected, called
or being called for redemption; provided, however, that, if specified pursuant
                                --------  -------
to Section 2.03, any Bearer Securities of any series that are exchangeable for
Registered Securities and that are called for redemption pursuant to Section
3.02 may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be exchanged for one or
more Registered Securities of such series during the period preceding the
redemption date therefor.

          Prior to the due presentation for registration of transfer of any Debt
Security, the Company, the Trustee, any paying agent or any Registrar may deem
and treat the Person in whose name a Debt Security is registered as the absolute
owner of such Debt Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal
of, and premium, if any, and interest on, such Debt Security and for all other
purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Debt Security is overdue, and none of
the Company, the Trustee, any paying agent or Registrar shall be affected by
notice to the contrary.

          Title to any Bearer Security and any Coupons appertaining thereto
shall pass by delivery. The Company, the Trustee, the paying agent and any agent
of the Company or the Trustee may treat the bearer of any Bearer Security and
the bearer of any Coupon as the absolute owner of such Bearer Security or Coupon
for the purpose of receiving payment thereof or on account thereof and for all
other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Bearer Security or Coupon be
overdue, and none of the Company, the Trustee, the paying agent or any agent of
the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

          SECTION 2.08   Temporary Debt Securities.  Pending the preparation of
                         -------------------------
definitive Debt Securities of any series, the Company may execute and, upon
receipt of a Company Order requesting the authentication and delivery, the
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver temporary Debt Securities (printed,
lithographed, photocopied, typewritten or otherwise produced) of any authorized
denomination, and substantially in the form of the definitive Debt Securities in
lieu of which they are issued, in registered form or, if authorized, in bearer
form with one or more Coupons or without Coupons, and with such omissions,
insertions and variations as may be appropriate for temporary Debt Securities
and Coupons, all as may be determined by the Company with the concurrence of the
Trustee.  Temporary Debt Securities and Coupons may contain such reference to
any provisions of this Indenture as may be appropriate.  Every temporary Debt
Security shall be executed by the Company and be authenticated by the Trustee

                                       17
<PAGE>

upon the same conditions and in substantially the same manner, and with like
effect, as the definitive Debt Securities.

          If temporary Debt Securities of any series are issued, the Company
will cause definitive Debt Securities of such series to be prepared without
unreasonable delay. Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section
2.03(8)(z) with respect to a series of Debt Securities issuable as Bearer
Securities or as one or more Global Securities representing individual Bearer
Securities of the series, (a) after the preparation of definitive Debt
Securities of such series, the temporary Debt Securities of such series shall be
exchangeable for definitive Debt Securities of such series upon surrender of the
temporary Debt Securities of such series at the office or agency of the Company
in a Place of Payment for such series, without charge to the Holder thereof,
except as provided in Section 2.07 in connection with a transfer and except that
a Person receiving definitive Bearer Securities shall bear the cost of
insurance, postage, transportation and the like unless otherwise specified
pursuant to Section 2.03, and (b) upon surrender for cancellation of any one or
more temporary Debt Securities of any series (accompanied by any unmatured
Coupons appertaining thereto), the Company shall execute and, upon receipt of a
Company Order requesting the authentication and delivery, the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of
definitive Debt Securities of the same series of authorized denominations and of
like tenor; provided, however, that no definitive Bearer Security shall be
            --------  -------
delivered in exchange for a temporary Registered Security; and provided,
                                                               --------
further, however, that delivery of a Global Security representing individual
-------  -------
Bearer Securities or a Bearer Security shall occur only outside the United
States. Until so exchanged, temporary Debt Securities of any series shall in all
respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive
Debt Securities of such series, except as otherwise specified as contemplated by
Section 2.03(8)(y) with respect to the payment of interest on Global Securities
in temporary form.

          Unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 2.03, the Company will
execute and deliver each definitive Global Security representing individual
Bearer Securities and each Bearer Security to the Trustee at its principal
office in London or such other place outside the United States specified
pursuant to Section 2.03.

          Upon any exchange of a portion of a temporary Global Security for a
definitive Global Security or for the individual Debt Securities represented
thereby pursuant to Section 2.07 or this Section 2.08, the temporary Global
Security shall be endorsed by the Trustee to reflect the reduction of the
principal amount evidenced thereby, whereupon the principal amount of such
temporary Global Security shall be reduced for all purposes by the amount to
exchanged and endorsed.

          SECTION 2.09   Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Debt Securities.
                         ----------------------------------------------------
If (i) any mutilated Debt Security or any mutilated Coupon with the Coupon
Security to which it appertains (and all unmatured Coupons attached thereto) is
surrendered to the Trustee at its corporate trust office (in the case of
Registered Securities) or at its principal London office (in the case of Bearer
Securities) or (ii) the Company and the Trustee receive evidence to their
satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Debt Security or any
Coupon, and there is delivered to the Company and the Trustee such security or
indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and any paying agent
harmless, and neither the Company nor the Trustee

receives notice that such Debt Security or Coupon has been acquired by a bona
fide purchaser, then the Company shall execute and, upon receipt of a Company
Order requesting the authentication and delivery, the Trustee shall authenticate
and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost
or stolen Debt Security or in exchange for the Coupon Security to which such
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Coupon appertained, a new Debt Security of
the same series of like tenor, form, terms and principal amount, bearing a
number not contemporaneously Outstanding, and, in the case of a Coupon Security,
with such Coupons attached thereto that neither gain nor loss in interest shall
result from such exchange or substitution. Upon the issuance of any substituted
Debt Security, 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 connected therewith. In case any Debt Security or Coupon
which has matured or is about to mature or which has been called for redemption
shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company may, instead
of issuing a substituted Debt Security or Coupon, pay or authorize the payment
of the same (without surrender thereof except in the case of a mutilated Debt
Security or Coupon) if the applicant for such payment shall furnish the Company
and the Trustee with such security or indemnity as either may require to save it
harmless from all risk, however remote, and, in case of destruction, loss or
theft, evidence to the satisfaction of the Company and the Trustee of the
destruction, loss or theft of such Debt Security or Coupon and of the ownership
thereof; provided, however, that payment of principal of, and premium, if any,
         --------  -------
and interest on, Bearer Securities or Coupons shall, except as otherwise
provided in Section 2.12, be payable only at an office or agency located outside
the United States.

          Every substituted Debt Security of any series, with its Coupons, if
any, issued pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.09 by virtue of the
fact that any Debt Security or Coupon is destroyed, lost or stolen shall
constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether
or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Debt Security or Coupon shall be found at
any time, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally
and proportionately with any and all other Debt Securities of that series and
Coupons, if any, duly issued hereunder. All Debt Securities and Coupons, if any,
shall be held and owned upon the express condition that the foregoing provisions
are exclusive with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Debt Securities or Coupons, and shall preclude any and
all other rights or remedies, notwithstanding any law or statute existing or
hereafter enacted to the contrary with respect to the replacement or payment of
negotiable instruments or other securities without their surrender.

          SECTION 2.10   Cancellation of Surrendered Debt Securities.  All Debt
                         -------------------------------------------
Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or
exchange and all Coupons surrendered for payment or exchange shall, if
surrendered to the Company or any paying agent or a Registrar, be delivered to
the Trustee for cancellation by it, or if surrendered to the Trustee, shall be
canceled by it, and no Debt Securities or Coupons shall be issued in lieu
thereof except as expressly permitted by any of the provisions of this
Indenture.  All canceled Debt Securities and Coupons held by the Trustee shall
be destroyed (subject to the record retention requirements of the Exchange Act)
and certification of their destruction (or retention) delivered to the Company,
unless otherwise directed.  On request of the Company, the Trustee shall deliver
to the Company canceled Debt Securities and Coupons held by the Trustee.  If the
Company shall acquire any of the Debt Securities or Coupons, however, such
acquisition shall not operate as a

                                       19
<PAGE>

redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented thereby unless and
until the same are delivered or surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation. The
Company may not issue new Debt Securities or Coupons to replace Debt Securities
or Coupons it has redeemed, paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

          SECTION 2.11   Provisions of the Indenture and Debt Securities for the
                         -------------------------------------------------------
Sole Benefit of the Parties and the Holders. Nothing in this Indenture or in the
-------------------------------------------
Debt Securities or Coupons, expressed or implied, shall give or be construed to
give to any Person, other than the parties hereto, the Holders or any Registrar
or paying agent, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in
respect of this Indenture, or under any covenant, condition or provision herein
contained; all its covenants, conditions and provisions being for the sole
benefit of the parties hereto, the Holders and any Registrar and paying agents.

          SECTION 2.12   Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved. (a)
                         ----------------------------------------------
Interest on any Registered Security that is payable and is punctually paid or
duly provided for on any interest payment date shall be paid to the Person in
whose name such Registered Security is registered at the close of business on
the regular record date for such interest notwithstanding the cancellation of
such Registered Security upon any transfer or exchange subsequent to the regular
record date. In case a Coupon Security of any series is surrendered in exchange
for a Registered Security of such series after the close of business (at an
office or agency in a Place of Payment for such series) on any regular record
date and before the opening of business (at such office or agency) on the next
succeeding interest payment date, such Coupon Security shall be surrendered
without the Coupon relating to such interest payment date and interest will not
be payable on such interest payment date in respect of the Registered Security
issued in exchange for such Coupon Security, but will be payable only to the
Holder of such Coupon when due in accordance with the provisions of this
Indenture. Payment of interest on Registered Securities shall be made at the
corporate trust office of the Trustee (except as otherwise specified pursuant to
Section 2.03), or at the option of the Company, by check mailed to the address
of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Debt Security
Register or, if provided by the terms of the Registered Securities pursuant to
Section 2.03 and in accordance with arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee, at
the option of the Registered Holder by wire transfer to an account designated by
the Registered Holder.

               (b)  No interest shall be payable with respect to a Bearer
Security or Coupon unless such certification requirements as are specified
pursuant to Section 2.03(8) are satisfied with respect to such Bearer Security
or Coupon. Interest on any Coupon Security that is payable and is punctually
paid or duly provided for on any interest payment date shall be paid to the
Holder of the Coupon that has matured on such interest payment date upon
surrender of such Coupon on such interest payment date at the principal London
office of the Trustee or at such other Place of Payment outside the United
States specified pursuant to Section 2.03.

          Interest on any Bearer Security (other than a Coupon Security) that is
payable and is punctually paid or duly provided for on any interest payment date
shall be paid to the Holder of the Bearer Security upon presentation of such
Bearer Security and notation thereon on such interest payment date at the
principal London office of the Trustee or at such other Place of Payment outside
the United States specified pursuant to Section 2.03.

                                       20
<PAGE>

          Unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 2.03, at the direction
of the Holder of any Bearer Security or Coupon payable in Dollars, and subject
to applicable laws and regulations, payments in respect of such Bearer Security
or Coupon will be made by check drawn on a bank in New York, New York or, if
provided by the terms of such Bearer Security or Coupon pursuant to Section 2.03
and in accordance with arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee, by wire
transfer to a Dollar account maintained by such Holder with a bank outside the
United States. If such payment at the offices of all paying agents outside the
United States becomes illegal or is effectively precluded because of the
imposition of exchange controls or similar restrictions on the full payment or
receipt of such amounts in Dollars, the Company will appoint an office or agent
in the United States at which such payment may be made. Unless otherwise
specified pursuant to Section 2.03, at the direction of the Holder of any Bearer
Security or Coupon payable in a Foreign Currency, payment on such Bearer
Security or Coupon will be made by a check drawn on a bank outside the United
States or, if provided by the terms of such Bearer Security or Coupon pursuant
to Section 2.03 and in accordance with arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee,
by wire transfer to an appropriate account maintained by such Holder outside the
United States. Except as provided in this paragraph, no payment on any Bearer
Security or Coupon will be made by mail to an address in the United States or by
transfer to an account maintained by the Holder thereof in the United States.

               (c) Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.12 and
Section 2.17, each Debt Security of a particular series delivered under this
Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any
other Debt Security of the same series shall carry the rights to interest
accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Debt
Security.

          SECTION 2.13   Securities Denominated in Foreign Currencies. (a)
                         --------------------------------------------
Except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 2.03 for Bearer Securities of
any series, payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on,
Bearer Securities of such series denominated in any Currency will be made in
such Currency.

               (b)  Except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 2.03 for
Registered Securities of any series, payment of the principal of, and premium,
if any, and interest on, Registered Securities of such series denominated in any
Currency will be made in Dollars.

               (c)  For the purposes of calculating the principal amount of Debt
Securities of any series denominated in a Foreign Currency or in units of two or
more Foreign Currencies (including European Currency Units) for any purpose
under this Indenture, the principal amount of such Debt Securities at any time
Outstanding shall be deemed to be the Dollar Equivalent of such principal amount
as of the date of any such calculation.

          In the event any Foreign Currency or Currencies or units of two or
more Currencies in which any payment with respect to any series of Debt
Securities may be made ceases to be a freely convertible Currency on United
States Currency markets, for any date thereafter on which payment of principal
of, or premium, if any, or interest on, the Debt Securities of a series is due,
the Company shall select the Currency of payment for use on such date, all as
provided in the Debt Securities of such series. In such event, the Company shall
notify the Trustee of the Currency which it has selected to constitute the funds
necessary to meet the Company's

                                       21
<PAGE>

obligations on such payment date and of the amount of such Currency to be paid.
Such amount shall be determined as provided in the Debt Securities of such
series. The payment with respect to such payment date shall be deposited with
the Trustee by the Company solely in the Currency so selected.

          SECTION 2.14   Wire Transfers. Notwithstanding any other provision to
                         --------------
the contrary in this Indenture, the Company may make any payment of monies
required to be deposited with the Trustee on account of principal of, or
premium, if any, or interest on, the Debt Securities (whether pursuant to
optional or mandatory redemption payments, interest payments or otherwise) by
wire transfer in immediately available funds to an account designated by the
Trustee on or before the date such moneys are to be paid to the Holders of the
Debt Securities in accordance with the terms hereof.

          SECTION 2.15   Securities Issuable in the Form of a Global Security.
                         ----------------------------------------------------
(a) If the Company shall establish pursuant to Sections 2.01 and 2.03 that the
Debt Securities of a particular series are to be issued in whole or in part in
the form of one or more Global Securities, then the Company shall execute and
the Trustee or its agent shall, upon receipt of a Company Order requesting
authentication and delivery in accordance with Section 2.05, authenticate and
deliver, such Global Security or Securities, which (i) shall represent, and
shall be denominated in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of,
the Outstanding Debt Securities of such series to be represented by such Global
Security or Securities, or such portion thereof as the Company shall specify in
an Officers' Certificate, (ii) shall be registered in the name of the Depositary
for such Global Security or Securities or its nominee, (iii) shall be delivered
by the Trustee or its agent to the Depositary or pursuant to the Depositary's
instruction and (iv) shall bear a legend substantially to the following effect:
"Unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for the individual Debt
Securities represented hereby, this Global Security may not be transferred
except as whole by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary or by a nominee
of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary or by
the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of
such successor Depositary", or such other legend as may then be required by the
Depositary for such Global Security or Securities.

               (b)  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.15 or
of Section 2.07 to the contrary, and subject to the provisions of paragraph (c)
below, unless the terms of a Global Security expressly permit such Global
Security to be exchanged in whole or in part for definitive Debt Securities in
registered form, a Global Security may be transferred, in whole but not in part
and in the manner provided in Section 2.07, only by the Depositary to a nominee
of the Depositary for such Global Security, or by a nominee of the Depositary to
the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary, or by the Depositary or a
nominee of the Depositary to a successor Depositary for such Global Security
selected or approved by the Company, or to a nominee of such successor
Depositary.

               (c)  (i)  If at any time the Depositary for a Global Security or
Securities notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as
Depositary for such Global Security or Securities or if at any time the
Depositary for the Debt Securities for such series shall no longer be eligible
or in good standing under the Exchange Act or other applicable statute or
regulation, the Company shall appoint a successor Depositary with respect to
such Global Security or Securities. If a successor Depositary for such Global
Security or Securities is not appointed by

                                       22
<PAGE>

the Company within 90 days after the Company receives such notice or becomes
aware of such ineligibility, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee or its
agent, upon receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of
such individual Debt Securities of such series in exchange for such Global
Security, will authenticate and deliver, individual Debt Securities of such
series of like tenor and terms in definitive form in an aggregate principal
amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security in exchange for such
Global Security or Securities.

                    (ii)   The Company may at any time and in its sole
discretion determine that the Debt Securities of any series or portion thereof
issued or issuable in the form of one or more Global Securities shall no longer
be represented by such Global Security or Securities. In such event the Company
will execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order for the
authentication and delivery of individual Debt Securities of such series in
exchange in whole or in part for such Global Security, will authenticate and
deliver individual Debt Securities of such series of like tenor and terms in
definitive form in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount
of such series or portion thereof in exchange for such Global Security or
Securities.

                    (iii)  If specified by the Company pursuant to Sections 2.01
and 2.03 with respect to Debt Securities issued or issuable in the form of a
Global Security, the Depositary for such Global Security may surrender such
Global Security in exchange in whole or in part for individual Debt Securities
of such series of like tenor and terms in definitive form on such terms as are
acceptable to the Company, the Trustee and such Depositary. Thereupon the
Company shall execute, and the Trustee upon receipt of a Company Order for the
authentication and delivery of definitive Debt Securities of such series, shall
authenticate and deliver, without service charge, (1) to each Person specified
by such Depositary a new Debt Security or Securities of the same series of like
tenor and terms and of any authorized denomination as requested by such Person
in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for such Person's
beneficial interest in the Global Security; and (2) to such Depositary a new
Global Security of like tenor and terms and in an authorized denomination equal
to the difference, if any, between the principal amount of the surrendered
Global Security and the aggregate principal amount of Debt Securities delivered
to Holders thereof.

                    (iv)   In any exchange provided for in any of the preceding
three paragraphs, the Company will execute and the Trustee, upon receipt of a
Company Order requesting the authentication and delivery of individual Debt
Securities, will authenticate and deliver individual Debt Securities. Upon the
exchange of the entire principal amount of a Global Security for individual Debt
Securities, such Global Security shall be canceled by the Trustee or its agent.
Except as provided in the preceding paragraph, Registered Securities issued in
exchange for a Global Security pursuant to this Section 2.15 shall be registered
in such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depositary for such
Global Security, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect
participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee or the Registrar. The
Trustee or the Registrar shall deliver such Registered Securities to the Persons
in whose names such Registered Securities are so registered.

                    (v)    Payments in respect of the principal of, premium, if
any, and interest on any Debt Securities registered in the name of the
Depositary or its nominee will be payable to the Depositary or such nominee in
its capacity as the registered owner of such Global

                                       23
<PAGE>

Security. The Company and the Trustee may treat the person in whose names the
Debt Securities, including the Global Security, are registered as the owner
thereof for the purpose of receiving such payments and for any and all other
purposes whatsoever. None of the Company, the Trustee, any Registrar, the paying
agent or any agent of the Company or the Trustee will have any responsibility or
liability for (a) any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on
account of the beneficial ownership interests of the Global Security by the
Depositary or its nominee or any of the Depositary's direct or indirect
participants, or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records of the
Depositary, its nominee or any of its direct or indirect participants relating
to the beneficial ownership interests of the Global Security, (b) the payments
to the beneficial owners of the Global Security of amounts paid to the
Depositary or its nominee, or (c) for any other matter relating to the actions
and practices of the Depositary, its nominee or any of its direct or indirect
participants. None of the Company, the Trustee or any such agent will be liable
for any delay by the Depositary, its nominee, or any of its direct or indirect
participants in identifying the beneficial owners of the Debt Securities, and
the Company and the Trustee may conclusively rely on, and will be protected in
relying on, instructions from the Depositary or its nominee for all purposes
(including with respect to the registration and delivery, and the respective
principal amounts, of the Debt Securities to be issued).

          The Trustee shall deliver individual Bearer Securities issued in
exchange for a Global Security pursuant to this Section 2.15 to the Persons and
in such authorized denominations as the Depositary for such Global Security,
pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise,
shall instruct the Trustee; provided, however, that individual Bearer Securities
                            --------  -------
shall be delivered in exchange for a Global Security only in accordance with the
procedures set forth in Section 2.07 and as may be specified pursuant to Section
2.03.

          Notwithstanding the foregoing, the exchange of Bearer Securities for
Registered Securities will be subject to the provisions of United States income
tax laws and regulations applicable to Debt Securities in effect at the time of
such exchange.

          SECTION 2.16   Medium Term Securities.  Notwithstanding any contrary
                         ----------------------
provision herein, if all Debt Securities of a series are not to be originally
issued at one time, it shall not be necessary for the Company to deliver to the
Trustee an Officers' Certificate, resolutions of the Board of Directors,
supplemental indenture, Opinion of Counsel or Company Order or any other
document otherwise required pursuant to Section 2.01, 2.03, 2.05 or 12.05 at or
prior to the time of authentication of each Debt Security of such series if such
documents are delivered to the Trustee or its agent at or prior to the
authentication upon original issuance of the first such Debt Security of such
series to be issued; provided, that any subsequent request by the Company to the
                     --------
Trustee to authenticate Debt Securities of such series upon original issuance
shall constitute a representation and warranty by the Company that, as of the
date of such request, the statements made in the Officers' Certificate delivered
pursuant to Section 2.05 and 12.05 shall be true and correct as if made on such
date and that the Opinion of Counsel delivered at or prior to such time of
authentication of an original issuance of Debt Securities shall specifically
state that it shall relate to all subsequent issuances of Debt Securities of
such series that are identical to the Debt Securities issued in the first
issuance of Debt Securities of such series.

  A Company Order delivered by the Company to the Trustee in the circumstances
set forth in the preceding paragraph may provide that Debt Securities which are
the subject thereof will be

                                       24
<PAGE>

authenticated and delivered by the Trustee or its agent on original issue from
time to time upon the written order delivered to the Trustee or its agent by
Persons designated in such Company Order and that such Persons are authorized to
determine, consistent with the Officers' Certificate, supplemental indenture or
resolution of the Board of Directors relating to such Company Order, such terms
and conditions of such Debt Securities as are specified in such Officers'
Certificate, supplemental indenture or such resolution.

          SECTION 2.17   Defaulted Interest. (a) Any interest on any Debt
                         ------------------
Security of a particular series which is payable, but is not punctually paid or
duly provided for, on the dates and in the manner provided in the Debt
Securities of such series and in this Indenture (herein called "Defaulted
Interest") shall, if such Debt Security is a Registered Security, forthwith
cease to be payable to the Registered Holder thereof on the relevant record date
by virtue of having been such Registered Holder, and such Defaulted Interest may
be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in clause (i)
or (ii) below:

               (i)       The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted
Interest to the Persons in whose names the Registered Securities of such series
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 such Registered 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 pre-paid,
to each Holder thereof at its 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 Registered Securities of such series are registered at the close of
business on such special record date. In case a Coupon Security of any such
series is surrendered in exchange for a Registered Security of such series after
the close of business (at an office or agency in a Place of Payment for such
series) on any special record date and before the opening of business (at such
office or agency) on the related proposed date of payment of Defaulted Interest,
such Coupon Security shall be surrendered without the Coupon relating to such
proposed date of payment and Defaulted Interest will not be payable on such
proposed date of payment in respect of the Registered Security issued in
exchange for such Coupon Security, but will be payable only to the Holder of
such Coupon when due in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.

               (ii)      The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest
on the Registered Securities of such series in any other lawful manner not
inconsistent with the

                                       25
<PAGE>

requirements of any securities exchange on which the Registered Securities of
such series 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.

               (b)  Any Defaulted Interest payable in respect of Bearer
Securities of any series shall be payable pursuant to such procedures as may be
satisfactory to the Trustee in such manner that there is no discrimination
between the Holders of Registered Securities (if any) and Bearer Securities of
such series, and notice of the payment date therefor shall be given by the
Trustee, in the name and at the expense of the Company, in the manner provided
in Section 12.03 not more than 25 days and not less than 20 days prior to the
date of the proposed payment.

          SECTION 2.18  Judgments. The Company may provide pursuant to Section
                        ---------
2.03 for Debt Securities of any series that (a) the obligation, if any, of the
Company to pay the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, the Debt
Securities of any series in a Foreign Currency or Dollars (the "Designated
Currency") as may be specified pursuant to Section 2.03 is of the essence and
agrees that, to the fullest extent possible under applicable law, judgments in
respect of Debt Securities of such series shall be given in the Designated
Currency; (b) the obligation of the Company to make payments in the Designated
Currency of the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, such Debt
Securities shall, notwithstanding any payment in any other Currency (whether
pursuant to a judgment or otherwise), be discharged only to the extent of the
amount in the Designated Currency that the Holder receiving such payment may, in
accordance with normal banking procedures, purchase with the sum paid in such
other Currency (after any premium and cost of exchange) on the business day in
the country of issue of the Designated Currency or in the international banking
community (in the case of a composite currency) immediately following the day on
which such Holder receives such payment; (c) if the amount in the Designated
Currency that may be so purchased for any reason falls short of the amount
originally due, the Company shall pay such additional amounts as may be
necessary to compensate for such shortfall; and (d) any obligation of the
Company not discharged by such payment shall be due as a separate and
independent obligation and, until discharged as provided herein, shall continue
in full force and effect.

                         --------------------------------------
otherwise specified pursuant to Section 2.03, Bearer Securities of any series
may be redeemed at the option of the Company in whole, but not in part, at any
time, on giving not less than 30 or more than 60 days' notice in accordance with
Section 3.03 (which notice shall be irrevocable), at the redemption price
thereof (calculated without premium), plus interest accrued to the redemption
date, if the Company has or will become obligated to pay additional interest on
such Bearer Securities pursuant to Section 4.06 as a result of any change in, or
amendment to, the laws (or

which change or amendment becomes effective on or after the date on which any
Person (including any Person acting as underwriter, broker or dealer) agrees to
purchase any of such Bearer Securities pursuant to their original issuance, and
such obligation cannot be avoided by the Company taking reasonable measures
available to it; provided, that no such notice of redemption shall be given
                 --------
earlier than 90 days prior to the earliest date on which the Company would be
obligated to pay such additional interest were a payment in respect of the
Bearer Securities of that series then due. Prior to the publication of any
notice of redemption pursuant to this Section 3.02(a), the Company shall deliver
to the Trustee (i) an Officers' Certificate stating that the Company is entitled
to effect such redemption and setting forth a statement of facts showing that
the conditions precedent to the right of the Company so to redeem have occurred
and (ii) an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Company has or will become
obligated to pay such additional interest as a result of such change or
amendment.

               (b)  Unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 2.03, if the
Company shall determine that any payment made outside the United States by the
Company or any of its paying agents in respect of any Bearer Security or Coupon,
if any, that is not a Floating Rate Security (an "Affected Security") would,
under any present or future laws or regulations of the United States, be subject
to any certification, documentation, information or other reporting requirement
of any kind, the effect of which requirement is the disclosure to the Company,
any paying agent or any governmental authority of the nationality, residence or
identity of a beneficial owner of such Affected Security that is a United States
Alien (other than the certification requirements specified in Treas. Reg. 1.163-
5(c)(2)(i)(D)(3) and other than such a requirement (i) that would not be
applicable to a payment made by the Company or any one of its paying agents (A)
directly to the beneficial owner or (B) to a custodian, nominee or other agent
of the beneficial owner, or (ii) that can be satisfied by such custodian,
nominee or other agent certifying to the effect that the beneficial owner is a
United States Alien; provided, that, in any case referred to in clause (i)(B) or
                     --------
(ii), payment by the custodian, nominee or agent to the beneficial owner is not
otherwise subject to any such requirement), then the Company shall elect either
(x) to redeem such Affected Securities in whole, but not in part, at the
redemption price thereof (calculated without premium), plus interest accrued to
the redemption date, or (y) if the conditions of the next succeeding paragraph
are satisfied, to pay the additional interest specified in such paragraph. The
Company shall make such determination as soon as practicable and publish prompt
notice thereof in accordance with Section 12.03 (the "Determination Notice"),
stating the effective date of such certification, documentation, information or
other reporting requirement, whether the Company elects to redeem the Affected
Securities or to pay the additional interest specified in the next succeeding
paragraph and (if applicable) the last date by which the redemption of the
Affected Securities must take place, as provided in the next succeeding
sentence. If any Affected Securities are to be redeemed pursuant to this
paragraph, the redemption shall take place on such date, not later than one year
after the publication of the Determination Notice, as the Company shall specify
by notice given to the Trustee at least 60 days before the redemption date.
Notice of such redemption shall be given to the Holders of the Affected
Securities not more than 60 days or less than 30 days prior to the redemption
date in accordance with Section 3.03. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company
shall not so redeem the Affected Securities if the Company shall subsequently
determine, not less than 30 days prior to the redemption date,

                                       27
<PAGE>

that subsequent payments on the Affected Securities would not be subject to any
such certification, documentation, information or other reporting requirement,
in which case the Company shall publish prompt notice of such subsequent
determination in accordance with Section 12.03, and any earlier redemption
notice given pursuant to this paragraph shall be revoked and of no further
effect. Prior to the publication of any Determination Notice pursuant to this
paragraph, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee (i) an Officers' Certificate
stating that the Company is entitled to make such determination and setting
forth a statement of facts showing that the conditions precedent to the
obligation of the Company to redeem the Affected Securities or to pay the
additional interest specified in the next succeeding paragraph have occurred and
(ii) an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such conditions have occurred.

          If and so long as the certification, documentation, information or
other reporting requirement referred to in the preceding paragraph would be
fully satisfied by payment of a backup withholding tax or similar charge, the
Company may elect to pay as additional interest such amounts as may be necessary
so that every net payment made outside the United States following the effective
date of such requirement by the Company or any of its paying agents in respect
of any Affected Security of which the beneficial owner is a United States Alien
(but without any requirement that the nationality, residence or identity of such
beneficial owner be disclosed to the Company, any paying agent or any
governmental authority) (after deduction or withholding for or on account of
such backup withholding tax or similar charge that (i) would not be applicable
in the circumstances referred to in the parenthetical clause of the first
sentence of the preceding paragraph or (ii) is imposed as a result of
presentation of any such Affected Security for payment more than 15 days after
the date on which such payment became due and payable or on which payment
thereof was duly provided for, whichever occurred later), will not be less than
the amount provided in any such Affected Security to be then due and payable. If
the Company elects to pay additional interest pursuant to this paragraph, the
Company shall have the right to redeem the Affected Securities at any time in
whole, but not in part, at the redemption price thereof (calculated without
premium), plus interest accrued to the redemption date, subject to the
provisions of the last three sentences of the immediately preceding paragraph.
If the Company elects to pay additional interest pursuant to this paragraph and
the condition specified in the first sentence of this paragraph should no longer
be satisfied, then the Company shall redeem the Affected Securities in whole,
but not in part, at the redemption price thereof (calculated without premium),
plus interest accrued to the redemption date, subject to the provisions of the
last three sentences of the immediately preceding paragraph. Any redemption
payments made by the Company pursuant to the two immediately preceding sentences
shall be subject to the continuing obligation of the Company to pay additional
interest pursuant to this paragraph. If the Company elects to, or is required
to, redeem the Affected Securities pursuant to this paragraph, it shall publish
prompt notice thereof in accordance with Section 12.03 . If the Affected
Securities are to be redeemed pursuant to this paragraph, the redemption shall
take place on such date, not later than one year after publication of the notice
of redemption, as the Company shall specify by notice to the Trustee at least 60
days prior to the redemption date.

          SECTION 3.03   Notice of Redemption; Selection of Debt Securities. In
                         --------------------------------------------------
case the Company shall desire to exercise the right to redeem all or, as the
case may be, any part of the Debt Securities of any series in accordance with
their terms, the Company shall notify the Trustee and deliver certain documents
as set forth in the third paragraph of this Section 3.03 and shall fix a date
for redemption and shall give notice of such redemption at least 30 and not more

                                       28
<PAGE>

than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption to the Holders of Debt
Securities of such series so to be redeemed as a whole or in part, in the manner
provided in Section 12.03.  The notice if given 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 or any
defect in the notice to the Holder of any Debt Security of a series designated
for redemption as a whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the
proceedings for the redemption of any other Debt Security of such series.

          Each such notice of redemption shall specify the date fixed for
redemption, the redemption price at which Debt Securities of such series are to
be redeemed, the Place or Places of Payment that payment will be made upon
presentation and surrender of such Debt Securities, that any interest accrued to
the date fixed for redemption will be paid as specified in said notice, that the
redemption is for a sinking fund payment (if applicable), that, unless otherwise
specified in such notice, Coupon Securities of any series, if any, surrendered
for redemption must be accompanied by all Coupons maturing subsequent to the
date fixed for redemption, failing which the amount of any such missing Coupon
or Coupons will be deducted from the redemption price, if the Bearer Securities
of any series are to be redeemed and any Registered Securities of such series
are not to be redeemed, and if such Bearer Securities may be exchanged for
Registered Securities not subject to redemption on the applicable redemption
date pursuant to Section 2.15(c) or otherwise, the last date on which such
exchanges may be made, 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, on and after the redemption date any
interest thereon or on the portions thereof to be redeemed will cease to accrue,
that in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities, original issue discount
accrued after the date fixed for redemption will cease to accrue, and the terms
of the Debt Securities of that series pursuant to which the Debt Securities of
that series are being redeemed. If less than all the Debt Securities of a series
are to be redeemed the notice of redemption shall specify the CUSIP numbers of
the Debt Securities of that series to be redeemed. In case any Debt Security of
a series is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption shall state
the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed and shall state that
on and after the date fixed for redemption, upon surrender of such Debt
Security, a new Debt Security or Debt Securities of that series in principal
amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof, and with appropriate Coupons,
will be issued.

          At least 60 days before the redemption date unless the Trustee
consents to a shorter period, the Company shall give notice to the Trustee of
the redemption date, the principal amount of Debt Securities to be redeemed and
the series and terms of the Debt Securities pursuant to which such redemption
will occur. Such notice shall be accompanied by an Officers' Certificate and an
Opinion of Counsel from the Company to the effect that such redemption will
comply with the conditions herein. If fewer than all the Debt Securities of a
series are to be redeemed, the record date relating to such redemption shall be
selected by the Company and given to the Trustee, which record date shall be not
less than 15 days after the date of notice to the Trustee.

          On or prior to the redemption date for any Registered Securities, 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) an
amount of money in the Currency in which such Debt

                                       29
<PAGE>

Securities are denominated (except as provided pursuant to Section 2.03)
sufficient to pay the redemption price, plus interest accrued to the redemption
date, of such Registered Securities or any portions thereof that are to be
redeemed on that date. In the case of any redemption pertaining to Bearer
Securities or Coupon Securities, the Company shall, no later than the business
day prior to such redemption date, deposit with the Trustee or with a paying
agent (other than the Company) an amount of money in the Currency in which such
Debt Securities are denominated (except as provided pursuant to Section 2.03)
sufficient to pay the redemption price, plus interest accrued to the redemption
date, of such Bearer Securities or Coupon Securities or any portion thereof that
are to be redeemed on the redemption date.

          If less than all the Debt Securities of like tenor and terms of a
series are to be redeemed (other than pursuant to mandatory sinking fund
redemptions) the Trustee shall select, in such manner as in its sole discretion
it shall deem appropriate and fair, the Debt Securities of that series or
portions thereof (in multiples of $1,000) to be redeemed. In any case where more
than one Registered Security of such series is registered in the same name, the
Trustee in its discretion may treat the aggregate principal amount so registered
as if it were represented by one Registered Security of such series. The Trustee
shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the Debt Securities selected for
redemption and, in the case of any Debt Securities selected for partial
redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. If any Debt Security
called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof on such
redemption date, the principal, premium, if any, and interest shall bear
interest until paid from the redemption date at the rate borne by the Debt
Securities of that series. If less than all the Debt Securities of unlike tenor
and terms of a series are to be redeemed, the particular Debt Securities to be
redeemed shall be selected by the Company. Provisions of this Indenture that
apply to Debt Securities called for redemption also apply to portions of Debt
Securities called for redemption.

          SECTION 3.04   Payment of Debt Securities Called for Redemption. If
                         ------------------------------------------------
notice of redemption has been given as provided in Section 3.03, the Debt
Securities or portions of Debt Securities of the series with respect to which
such notice has been given shall become due and payable on the date and at the
Place or Places of Payment stated in such notice at the applicable redemption
price, together with any interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption, and
on and after said date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of such
Debt Securities at the applicable redemption price, together with any interest
accrued to said date) any interest on the Debt Securities or portions of Debt
Securities of any series so called for redemption shall cease to accrue, any
original issue discount in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities shall
cease to accrue and any Coupons for such interest appertaining to any Coupon
Securities to be redeemed, except to the extent described below, shall be void.
On presentation and surrender of such Debt Securities at the Place or Places of
Payment in said notice specified, the said Debt Securities or the specified
portions thereof shall be paid and redeemed by the Company at the applicable
redemption price, together with any interest accrued thereon to the date fixed
for redemption (except for interest accrued in respect of any Debt Securities or
portions thereof called for redemption that have been delivered by the Company
to the Trustee for cancellation).

          If any Coupon Security surrendered for redemption shall not be
accompanied by all Coupons appertaining thereto maturing on or after the
applicable redemption date, the redemption price for such Coupon Security may be
reduced by an amount equal to the face amount of all such missing Coupons. If
thereafter the Holder of such Coupon shall surrender to

                                       30
<PAGE>

any paying agent outside the United States any such missing Coupon in respect of
which a deduction shall have been made from the redemption price, such Holder
shall be entitled to receive the amount so deducted. The surrender of such
missing Coupon or Coupons may be waived by the Company and the Trustee, if there
be furnished to them such security or indemnity as they may require to save each
of them and any paying agent harmless.

          Any Debt Security that is to be redeemed only in part shall be
surrendered at the corporate trust office of the Trustee or such other office or
agency of the Company as is specified pursuant to Section 2.03 (in the case of
Registered Securities) and at the principal London office of the Trustee or such
other office or agency of the Company outside the United States as is specified
pursuant to Section 2.03 (in the case of Bearer Securities) with, if the
Company, the Registrar or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a
written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company, the
Registrar and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney
duly authorized in writing, and the Company shall execute, and, upon receipt of
a Company Order requesting authentication and delivery, the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Debt Security without service
charge, a new Debt Security or Debt Securities of the same series, of like tenor
and form, 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 Debt Security so surrendered, and, in the case of a
Coupon Security, with appropriate Coupons attached; except that if a Global
Security is so surrendered, the Company shall execute, and, upon receipt of a
Company Order requesting authentication and delivery, the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver to the Depositary for such Global Security, without
service charge, a new Global Security in a denomination equal to and in exchange
for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Global Security so
surrendered. In the case of a Debt Security providing appropriate space for such
notation, at the option of the Holder thereof, the Trustee, in lieu of
delivering a new Debt Security or Debt Securities as aforesaid, may make a
notation on such Debt Security of the payment of the redeemed portion thereof.

          SECTION 3.05   Mandatory and Optional Sinking Funds. The minimum
                         ------------------------------------
amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the terms of Debt 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 Debt
Securities of any series is herein referred to as an "optional sinking fund
payment".

          In lieu of making all or any part of any mandatory sinking fund
payment with respect to any Debt Securities of a series in cash, the Company may
at its option (a) deliver to the Trustee Debt Securities of that series
(together with the unmatured Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto) theretofore
purchased or otherwise acquired by the Company or (b) receive credit for the
principal amount of Debt Securities of that series which have been redeemed
either at the election of the Company pursuant to the terms of such Debt
Securities or through the application of permitted optional sinking fund
payments pursuant to the terms of such Debt Securities; provided, that such Debt
                                                        --------
Securities have not been previously so credited. Such Debt Securities shall be
received and credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the redemption price
specified in such Debt Securities for redemption through operation of the
sinking fund and the amount of such mandatory sinking fund payment shall be
reduced accordingly.

<PAGE>

          SECTION 3.06   Redemption of Debt Securities for Sinking Fund. Not
                         ----------------------------------------------
less than 60 days prior to each sinking fund payment date for any series of Debt
Securities, the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate
specifying the amount of the next ensuing sinking fund payment for that series
pursuant to the terms of that series, the portion thereof, if any, which is to
be satisfied by payment of cash in the Currency in which the Debt Securities of
such series are denominated (except as provided pursuant to Section 2.03) and
the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by delivering and
crediting Debt Securities of that series pursuant to this Section 3.06 (which
Debt Securities, if not previously redeemed, will accompany such certificate)
and whether the Company intends to exercise its right to make any permitted
optional sinking fund payment with respect to such series. Such certificate
shall also state that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with
respect to such series. Such certificate shall be irrevocable and upon its
delivery the Company shall be obligated to make the cash payment or payments
therein referred to, if any, on or before the next succeeding sinking fund
payment date. Failure of the Company to deliver such certificate (or to deliver
the Debt Securities and Coupons, if any, specified in this paragraph) shall not
constitute a Default, but such failure shall require that the sinking fund
payment due on the next succeeding sinking fund payment date for that series
shall be paid entirely in cash and shall be sufficient to redeem the principal
amount of such Debt Securities subject to a mandatory sinking fund payment
without the option to deliver or credit Debt Securities as provided in this
Section 3.06 and without the right to make any optional sinking fund payment, if
any, with respect to such series.

          Any sinking fund payment or payments (mandatory or optional) made in
cash plus any unused balance of any preceding sinking fund payments made in cash
which shall equal or exceed $100,000 (or a lesser sum if the Company shall so
request) with respect to the Debt Securities of any particular series shall be
applied by the Trustee on the sinking fund payment date on which such payment is
made (or, if such payment is made before a sinking fund payment date, on the
sinking fund payment date following the date of such payment) to the redemption
of such Debt Securities at the redemption price specified by the terms of such
Debt Securities for operation of the sinking fund together with any accrued
interest to the date fixed for redemption. Any sinking fund moneys not so
applied or allocated by the Trustee to the redemption of Debt Securities shall
be added to the next cash sinking fund payment received by the Trustee for such
series and, together with such payment, shall be applied in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 3.06. Any and all sinking fund moneys with respect to
the Debt Securities of any particular series held by the Trustee on the last
sinking fund payment date with respect to Debt Securities of such series and not
held for the payment or redemption of particular Debt Securities shall be
applied by the Trustee, together with other moneys, if necessary, to be
deposited sufficient for the purpose, to the payment of the principal of the
Debt Securities of that series at its Stated Maturity.

          The Trustee shall select the Debt Securities to be redeemed upon such
sinking fund payment date in the manner specified in the last paragraph of
Section 3.03 and the Company shall cause notice of the redemption thereof to be
given in the manner provided in Section 3.03 except that the notice of
redemption shall also state that the Debt Securities are being redeemed by
operation of the sinking fund. Such notice having been duly given, the
redemption of such Debt Securities shall be made upon the terms and in the
manner stated in Section 3.04.

                                       32
<PAGE>

          At least one business day before each sinking fund payment date, the
Company shall pay to the Trustee (or, if the Company is acting as its own paying
agent, the Company shall segregate and hold in trust) in cash a sum in the
Currency in which the Debt Securities of such series are denominated (except as
provided pursuant to Section 2.03) equal to any interest accrued to the date
fixed for redemption of Debt Securities or portions thereof to be redeemed on
such sinking fund payment date pursuant to this Section 3.06.

          The Trustee shall not redeem any Debt Securities of a series with
sinking fund moneys or mail any notice of redemption of such Debt Securities by
operation of the sinking fund for such series during the continuance of a
Default in payment of interest on such Debt Securities or of any Event of
Default (other than an Event of Default occurring as a consequence of this
paragraph) with respect to such Debt Securities, except that if the notice of
redemption of any such Debt Securities shall theretofore have been mailed in
accordance with the provisions hereof, the Trustee shall redeem such Debt
Securities if cash sufficient for that purpose shall be deposited with the
Trustee for that purpose in accordance with the terms of this Article III.
Except as aforesaid, any moneys in the sinking fund for such series at the time
when any such Default or Event of Default shall occur and any moneys thereafter
paid into such sinking fund shall, during the continuance of such Default or
Event of Default, be held as security for the payment of such Debt Securities;
provided, however, that in case such Event of Default or Default shall have been
--------  -------
cured or waived as provided herein, such moneys shall thereafter be applied on
the next sinking fund payment date for such Debt Securities on which such moneys
may be applied pursuant to the provisions of this Section 3.06.

          SECTION 4.01   Payment of Principal of, and Premium, If Any, and
                         -------------------------------------------------
Interest on, Debt Securities. The Company, for the benefit of each series of
----------------------------
Debt Securities, will duly and punctually pay or cause to be paid the principal
of, and premium, if any, and interest on, each of the Debt Securities and pay
any Coupons at the Place of Payment, at the respective times and in the manner
provided herein, in the Debt Securities and in the Coupons. Each installment of
interest on the Registered Securities may, at the Company's option, be paid by
mailing checks for such interest payable to the Person entitled thereto pursuant
to Section 2.07(a) to the address of such Person as it appears on the Debt
Security Register, or if provided by the terms of the Registered Securities
pursuant to Section 2.03 and in accordance with arrangements satisfactory to the
Trustee, at the option of the Registered Holder by wire transfer to an account
designated by the Registered Holder. Any interest due on Coupon Securities on or
before the Stated Maturity of the related Debt Security, other than additional
interest, if any, payable as provided in Section 4.06 in respect of principal
of, or premium, if any, on such a Debt Security, shall be payable only upon
presentation and surrender of the several Coupons for such interest installments
as are evidenced thereby as they severally mature. Payments of principal of or
premium, if any, on any Debt Security shall be payable only upon presentation
and surrender of the Debt Security.

          Principal, premium and interest of Debt Securities of any series shall
be considered paid on the date due if on such date the Trustee or any paying
agent holds in accordance with this

                                       33
<PAGE>

Indenture money sufficient to pay in the Currency in which the Debt Securities
of such series are denominated with respect to Bearer Securities or in Dollars
with respect to Registered Securities (in each case, except as otherwise
provided pursuant to Section 2.03) all principal, premium and interest then due.

          The Company shall pay interest on overdue principal at the rate
specified therefor in the Debt Securities and it shall pay interest on overdue
installments of interest at the same rate to the extent lawful.

          SECTION 4.02   Maintenance of Offices or Agencies for Registration of
                         ------------------------------------------------------
Transfer, Exchange and Payment of Debt Securities.  The Company will maintain in
-------------------------------------------------
each Place of Payment for any series of Debt Securities and Coupons, if any, an
office or agency where Debt Securities and Coupons of such series (but, except
as otherwise provided in Section 2.12, unless such Place of Payment is located
outside the United States, not Bearer Securities or Coupons) may be presented or
surrendered for payment, where Debt Securities of such series may be surrendered
for transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in
respect of the Debt Securities and Coupons of such series and this Indenture may
be served.  So long as any Bearer Securities of any series remain outstanding,
the Company will maintain for such purposes one or more offices or agencies
outside the United States in such city or cities specified pursuant to Section
2.03 and, if any Bearer Securities are listed on a securities exchange that
requires an office or agency for the payment of principal of, and premium, if
any, or interest on, such Bearer Securities in a location other than the
location of an office or agency specified pursuant to Section 2.03, the Company
will maintain for such purposes an office or agency in such location so long as
any Bearer Securities are listed on such securities exchange and such exchange
so requires.  The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the
location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency.  If at any
time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or
shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations,
surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the corporate trust
office of the Trustee (in the case of Registered Securities) and at the
principal London office of the Trustee (in the case of Bearer Securities), and
the Company hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive all
presentations, surrenders, notices and demands.

          The Company may also from time to time designate different or
additional offices or agencies to be maintained for such purposes (in or outside
of such Place of Payment), and may from time to time rescind any such
designation; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in
             --------  -------
any manner relieve the Company of its obligations described in the preceding
paragraph. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any
such additional designation or rescission of designation and any change in the
location of any such different or additional office or agency.

          SECTION 4.03   Appointment to Fill a Vacancy in the Office of Trustee.
                         ------------------------------------------------------
The Company, whenever necessary to avoid or fill a vacancy in the office of
Trustee, will appoint, in the manner provided in Section 7.10, a Trustee, so
that there shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder with respect to each series
of Debt Securities.

          SECTION 4.04   Duties of Paying Agents, etc. (a) The Company shall
                         ----------------------------
cause each paying agent, if any, other than the Trustee, 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 4.04,

                    (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 on,
the Debt Securities of any series and the payment of any related Coupons
(whether such sums have been paid to it by the Company or by any other obligor
on the Debt Securities or Coupons of such series) in trust for the benefit of
the Holders of the Debt Securities and Coupons of such series;

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

                    (iii)     that it will at any time during the continuance of
an Event of Default, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to
the Trustee all sums so held by it as such agent.

               (b) If the Company shall act as its own paying agent, it will, on
or before each due date of the principal of, and premium, if any, or interest
on, the Debt Securities and Coupons, if any, of any series, set aside, segregate
and hold in trust for the benefit of the Holders of the Debt Securities and
Coupons of such series a sum sufficient to pay such principal, premium, if any,
or interest so becoming due. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee of any
failure by the Company to take such action or the failure by any other obligor
on such Debt Securities or Coupons to make any payment of the principal of, and
premium, if any, or interest on, such Debt Securities or Coupons when the same
shall be due and payable.

               (c)  Anything in this Section 4.04 to the contrary
notwithstanding, the Company may, at any time, for the purpose of obtaining a
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, or for any other reason, pay or
cause to be paid to the Trustee all sums held in trust by it or any paying
agent, as required by this Section 4.04, 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.

               (d) Whenever the Company shall have one or more paying agents
with respect to any series of Debt Securities and Coupons, it will, prior to
each due date of the principal of, and premium, if any, or interest on, any Debt
Securities of such series, deposit with any such paying agent a sum sufficient
to pay the principal, premium or interest so becoming due, such sum to be held
in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto, and (unless any such
paying agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of its
action or failure so to act.

               (e) Anything in this Section 4.04 to the contrary
notwithstanding, the agreement to hold sums in trust as provided in this Section
4.04 is subject to the provisions of Section 11.05.

               (f) The Company initially appoints the Trustee as the paying
agent hereunder.

          SECTION 4.05   Statement by Officers as to Default. The Company will
                         -----------------------------------
deliver to the Trustee, on or before a date not more than four months after the
end of each fiscal year of the Company (currently on a calendar year basis)
ending after the date hereof, an Officers' Certificate stating, as to each
officer signing such certificate, that (i) in the course of his performance of
his duties as an officer of the Company he would normally have knowledge of any
Default, (ii) whether or not to the best of his knowledge any Default occurred
during such year and (iii) if to the best of his knowledge the Company is in
Default, specifying all such Defaults and what action the Company is taking or
proposes to take with respect thereto. The Company also shall comply with
Section 314(a)(4) of the Trust Indenture Act.

          SECTION 4.06   Payment of Additional Interest. Unless otherwise
                         ------------------------------
provided pursuant to Section 2.03, the provisions of this Section 4.06 shall be
applicable to Bearer Securities of any series.

          The Company will, subject to the exceptions and limitations set forth
below, pay as additional interest to the Holder of any Bearer Security or Coupon
that is a United States Alien such amounts as may be necessary so that every net
payment on such Bearer Security or Coupon, after deduction or withholding for or
on account of any present or future tax, assessment or other governmental charge
by the United States (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof
or therein) imposed upon or as a result of such payment, will not be less than
the amount provided in such Bearer Security or Coupon to be then due and
payable. However, the Company will not be required to make any such payment of
additional interest for or on account of:

               (a) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would
not have been imposed but for (i) the existence of any present or former
connection between such Holder (or between a fiduciary, settlor or beneficiary
of, or a Person holding a power over, such Holder, if such Holder is an estate
or a trust, or a member or shareholder of such Holder, if such Holder is a
partnership or corporation) and the United States, including such Holder (or
such fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, Person holding a power, member or
shareholder) being or having been a citizen or resident thereof or being or
having been engaged in trade or business or present therein or having or having
had a permanent establishment therein or (ii) such Holder's past or present
status as a personal holding company, foreign personal holding company or
private foundation or other tax-exempt organization with respect to the United
States or as a corporation that accumulates earnings to avoid United States
Federal income tax;

               (b) any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer or personal
property tax or any similar tax, assessment or other governmental charge;

               (c) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would
not have been imposed but for the presentation by the Holder of a Bearer
Security or Coupon for payment more than 15 days after the date on which such
payment became due and payable or on which payment thereof was duly provided
for, whichever occurs later;

               (d) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is
payable otherwise than by deduction or withholding from a payment on a Bearer
Security or Coupon;

                                       36
<PAGE>

               (e) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge which is
required to be deducted or withheld from a payment on a Bearer Security or
Coupon because such payment is made by or through a U.S. middleman (as defined
in Proposed Treasury Regulation Section 1.6049-5(d)(1)) that, as a custodian or
nominee of the Holder, collects the payment for, or on behalf of, the Holder;

               (f) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would
not have been imposed but for a failure to comply with applicable certification,
documentation, information or other reporting requirement concerning the
nationality, residence, identity or connection with the United States of the
Holder or beneficial owner of a Bearer Security or Coupon if, without regard to
any tax treaty, such compliance is required by statute or regulation of the
United States as a precondition to relief or exemption from such tax, assessment
or other governmental charge;

               (g) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed on a
Holder that actually or constructively owns ten percent or more of the combined
voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or that is a controlled
foreign corporation related to the Company through stock ownership; or

               (h) any tax, assessment, or other governmental charge imposed on
a Holder that is a foreign bank pursuant to a determination that amounts paid or
accrued with respect to a Bearer Security or Coupon constitute interest received
by the bank on an extension of credit made pursuant to a loan agreement entered
into in the ordinary course of the bank's trade or business (within the meaning
of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code);

nor shall additional interest be paid with respect to a payment on a Bearer
Security or Coupon to a Holder that is a fiduciary or partnership or other than
the sole beneficial owner of such payment to the extent a beneficiary or settlor
with respect to such fiduciary or a member of such partnership or a beneficial
owner would not have been entitled to the additional interest had such
beneficiary, settlor, member or beneficial owner been the Holder of such Bearer
Security or Coupon.

          Whenever in this Indenture there is mentioned, in any context, the
payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, any Debt
Security or payment with respect to any Coupon of any series, such mention shall
be deemed to include mention of the payment of additional interest provided for
in the terms of such Debt Securities and this Section 4.06 to the extent that,
in such context, additional interest is, was or would be payable in respect
thereof pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4.06 and express mention of
the payment of additional interest (if applicable) in any provisions hereof
shall not be construed as excluding additional interest in those provisions
hereof where such express mention is not made.

          If the payment of additional interest becomes required in respect of
the Debt Securities of a series, at least ten days prior to the first interest
payment date with respect to which such additional interest will be payable (or
if the Debt Securities of that series will not bear interest prior to its Stated
Maturity, the first day on which a payment of principal, and premium, if any, is
made and on which such additional interest will be payable), and at least ten
days prior to each date of payment of principal, and premium, if any, or
interest if there has been any change with

                                       37
<PAGE>

respect to the matters set forth in the below-mentioned Officers' Certificate,
the Company will furnish the Trustee and each paying agent with an Officers'
Certificate that shall specify by country the amount, if any, required to be
withheld on such payments to Holders of Debt Securities or Coupons that are
United States Aliens, and the Company will pay to the Trustee or such paying
agent the additional interest, if any, required by the terms of such Debt
Securities and this Section 4.06. The Company covenants to indemnify the Trustee
and any paying agent for, and to hold them harmless against, any loss, liability
or expense reasonably incurred without negligence or bad faith on their part
arising out of or in connection with actions taken or omitted by any of them in
reliance on any Officers' Certificate furnished pursuant to this Section 4.06.

          SECTION 4.07   Limitation on Liens.  The Company will not itself, and
                         --------------------
will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, incur, issue, assume or guarantee
any notes, bonds, debentures or other similar evidences of indebtedness for
money borrowed (notes, bonds, debentures or other similar evidences of
indebtedness for money borrowed being hereinafter called "Debt") secured by
pledge of, or mortgage or other lien on, any Real Property of the Company or any
Restricted Subsidiary, or any shares of stock or Debt of any Restricted
Subsidiary (pledges, mortgages and other liens being hereinafter called
"Mortgage" or "Mortgages"), without effectively providing that the Debt
Securities (together with, if the Company shall so determine, any other Debt of
the Company or that Restricted Subsidiary then existing or thereafter created
that is not subordinate to such Securities) shall be secured equally and ratably
with (or prior to) such secured Debt (for the purpose of providing such equal
and ratable security the principal amount of such Debt Securities shall mean and
shall not be less than that principal amount which could be declared to be due
and payable pursuant to Section 6.01 on the date of the making of such effective
provision and the extent of such equal and ratable security shall be adjusted,
to the extent permitted by law, as and when that principal amount changes over
time pursuant to Section 6.01 and any other provision hereof), so long as such
secured Debt shall be so secured, unless, after giving effect thereto, the
aggregate amount of all such secured Debt plus all Attributable Debt of the
Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in respect of Sale and Leaseback
Transactions (other than such Sale and Leaseback Transactions the proceeds of
which are applied to reduce indebtedness under clause (2) of Section 4.08) would
not exceed 10% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets; provided, however, that this
Section shall not apply to, and there shall be excluded from secured Debt in any
computation under this Section, Debt secured by:

                    (1) Mortgages existing as of the date of this Indenture;

                    (2) Mortgages on property of, or on any shares of stock (or
               other interest in) or Debt of, any corporation, association,
               partnership or other entity existing at the time such entity
               becomes a Restricted Subsidiary or an obligor under this
               Indenture;

                    (3) Mortgages in favor of the Company or any Restricted
               Subsidiary by a Restricted Subsidiary;

                    (4) Mortgages (including the assignment of moneys due or to
               become due thereon) in favor of the United States of America or
               any state thereof, or any

                                       38
<PAGE>

               agency, department or other instrumentality thereof, to secure
               progress, advance or other payments pursuant to any contract or
               provision of any statute;

                    (5) Mortgages on property, shares of stock or Debt existing
               at the time of acquisition thereof (including acquisition through
               merger or consolidation) or to secure the payment of all or any
               part of the purchase price, construction cost, or development
               cost thereof or to secure any Debt incurred prior to, at the time
               of, or within 360 days after, the acquisition of such property or
               shares or Debt or the completion of any such construction or
               development for the purpose of financing all or any part of the
               purchase price or construction cost or development cost thereof;
               and

                    (6) any extension, renewal or refinancing (or successive
               extensions, renewals or refinancings), as a whole or in part, of
               any Mortgage referred to in the foregoing clauses (1) to (5),
               inclusive; provided, however, that (i) such extension, renewal or
               refinancing Mortgage shall be limited to all or a part of the
               same property, shares of stock or Debt that secured the Mortgage
               extended, renewed or refinanced (plus improvements on such
               property) and (ii) the principal amount of Debt secured by such
               Mortgage at such time is not increased in an amount exceeding
               105% thereof.

          SECTION 4.08   Limitation on Sales and Leasebacks. The Company will
                         -----------------------------------
not itself, and it will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, enter into any
arrangement with any bank, insurance company or other lender or investor (not
including the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary) or to which any such lender
or investor is a party, providing for the leasing by the Company or any such
Restricted Subsidiary for a period, including renewals, in excess of three years
of any Real Property that has been or is to be sold or transferred, more than
360 days after the completion of construction and commencement of full operation
thereof, by the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary to such lender or
investor or to any Person to whom funds have been or are to be advanced by such
lender or investor on the security of such Real Property (herein referred to as
a "Sale and Leaseback Transaction") unless either:

                    (1) the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary could create
               Debt secured by a Mortgage pursuant to Section 4.07 on the Real
               Property to be leased back in an amount equal to the Attributable
               Debt with respect to such Sale and Leaseback Transaction without
               equally and ratably securing the Securities, or

                    (2) the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary within 120
               days after the sale or transfer shall have been made by the
               Company or by any such Restricted Subsidiary, applies an amount
               equal to the net proceeds of the sale of the Real Property sold
               and leased back pursuant to such arrangement to the retirement of
               Debt Securities or Funded Debt of the Company or any of its
               Restricted Subsidiaries.

          SECTION 4.09   Waiver of Certain Covenants. The Company may omit in
                         ----------------------------
any particular instance to comply with any term, provision or condition set
forth in Sections 4.07 and 4.08 with respect to the Debt Securities of any
series if before or after the time for such

                                       39
<PAGE>

compliance the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of
the Outstanding Debt Securities of such series shall either waive such
compliance in such instance or generally waive compliance with such term,
provision or condition, but no such waiver shall extend to or affect such term,
provision or condition except to the extent so expressly waived, and, until such
waiver shall become effective, the obligations of the Company in respect of any
such term, provision or condition shall remain in full force and effect.

          SECTION 4.10   Existence. Other than in connection with a transaction
                         ----------
permitted pursuant to Article X, the Company will do or cause to be done all
things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence,
rights (charter and statutory) and franchises; provided, however, that the
                                               --------  -------
Company shall not be required to preserve any such right or franchise if an
officer of the Company shall determine that the preservation thereof is no
longer desirable in the conduct of the Company's business.

                         -----------------------------
request of the Trustee, execute and deliver such further instruments and do such
further acts as may reasonably be necessary or proper to carry out more
effectually the purposes of this Indenture.

<PAGE>

                    (2) to such Bearer Holders of any series as have, within two
               years preceding such transmission, filed their names and
               addresses with the Trustee for such series for that purpose; and

shall solicit from the Holders of Debt Securities of any series any action
(including the making of any demand or request, the giving of any direction,
notice, consent or waiver or the taking of any other action), the Company may,
at its option, by resolution of the Board of Directors, fix in advance a record
date for the determination of Holders of Debt Securities entitled to take such
action, but the Company shall have no obligation to do so. Any such record date
shall be fixed at the Company's discretion. If such a record date is fixed, such
action may be sought or given before or after the record date, but only the
Holders of Debt Securities of record at the close of business on such record
date shall be deemed to be Holders of Debt Securities for the purpose of
determining whether Holders of the requisite proportion of Debt Securities of
such series Outstanding have authorized or agreed or consented to such action,
and for that purpose the Debt Securities of such series Outstanding shall be
computed as of such record date.

has expressly been included in this Indenture solely for the benefit of a series
of Debt Securities other than that series), and continuance of such default or
breach for a period of 90 days after the date on which written notice specifying

by the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Debt
Securities of that series at the time Outstanding; or

created, shall happen and shall result in more than $50,000,000 (or its
equivalent in any other currency) in principal amount of such indebtedness
becoming or being declared due and payable before the date on which it would
otherwise become due and payable, and that acceleration shall not be rescinded
or annulled, or that indebtedness shall not have been discharged, within a
period of 10 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 Debt Securities of that series at the
time outstanding a written notice specifying the event of default and requiring

appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or similar official
for the Company or for a substantial part of any of its property or (iii) the

          (h) any other Event of Default provided with respect to Debt
Securities of that series;

then and in each and every case that an Event of Default described in clause
(a), (b), (c), (d), (e) or (h) with respect to Debt Securities of that series at
the time Outstanding occurs and is continuing, unless the principal of and
interest on all the Debt Securities of that series shall have already become due
and payable, either the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate
principal amount of the Debt Securities of that series then Outstanding
hereunder, by notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by
Holders), may declare the principal of (or, if the Debt Securities of that
series are Original Issue Discount Debt Securities, such portion of the
principal amount as may be specified in the terms of that series) and interest
on all the Debt Securities of that series to be due and payable immediately, and
upon any such declaration the same shall become and shall be immediately due and
payable, anything in this Indenture or in the Debt Securities or Coupons
appertaining thereto of that series contained to the contrary notwithstanding.
If an Event of Default described in clause (f) or (g) occurs, then and in each
and every such case, unless the principal of and interest on all the Debt
Securities shall have become due and payable, the principal of (or, if any Debt
Securities are Original Issue Discount Debt Securities, such portion of the
principal amount as may be specified in the terms thereto) and interest on all
the Debt Securities then Outstanding hereunder shall ipso facto become and be
                                                     ---- -----
immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of
the Trustee or any Holders, anything in this Indenture or in the Debt Securities
contained to the contrary notwithstanding.

          In case the Trustee or any Holder shall have proceeded to enforce any
right under this Indenture and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or
abandoned because of such rescission or annulment or for any other reason or
shall have been determined adversely to the Trustee or such Holder, then and in
every such case the parties hereto shall be restored respectively to their
several positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and powers of
the parties hereto shall continue as though no such proceeding had been taken.

          The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Debt Securities
of a particular series by notice to the Trustee may rescind an acceleration and
its consequences if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or
decree already rendered 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 acceleration. Upon any such rescission, the parties hereto shall be
restored respectively to their several positions and rights hereunder, and all
rights, remedies and powers of the parties hereto shall continue as though no
such proceeding had been taken.

          The foregoing Events of Default shall constitute Events of Default
whatever the reason for any such Event of Default and whether it is voluntary or
involuntary or is effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment,
decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any
administrative or governmental body.

          The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 30 days after the
occurrence thereof, written notice in the form of an Officers' Certificate of
any event which with the giving of notice and the lapse of time would become an
Event of Default under clause (d), (e) or (h) indicating its status and what
action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

          SECTION 6.02   Collection of Indebtedness by Trustee, etc. If an Event
                         ------------------------------------------
of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee
of an express trust, shall be entitled and empowered to institute any action or
proceedings at law or in equity for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid
or enforce the performance of any provision of the Debt Securities of the
affected series or this Indenture, and may prosecute any such action or
proceedings to judgment or final decree, and may enforce any such judgment or
final decree against the Company or any other obligor upon the Debt Securities,
and the Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto, of such series (and collect in
the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or any other
obligor wherever situated upon the Debt Securities and Coupons of such series)
the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable.

          In case there shall be pending proceedings for the bankruptcy or for
the reorganization of the Company or any other obligor upon the Debt Securities
and Coupons, if any, of any series under Title 11 of the United States Code or
any other Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, or in case a
receiver, trustee or other similar official shall have been appointed for its
property, or in case of any other similar judicial proceedings relative to the
Company or any other obligor upon the Debt Securities of any series, its
creditors or its property, the Trustee, irrespective of whether the principal of
Debt Securities and Coupons, if any, of any series 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 pursuant to the provisions of this
Section 6.02, shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such
proceedings or otherwise, to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole
amount of principal, premium, if any, and interest (or, if the Debt Securities
of such series are Original Issue Discount Debt Securities, such portion of the
principal amount as may be specified in the terms of such series) owing and
unpaid in respect of the Debt Securities and Coupons of such series, 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 reasonable compensation to
the Trustee, its agents, attorneys and counsel, and for reimbursement of all
expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee except
as a result of its negligence or bad faith) and of the Holders thereof allowed
in any such judicial proceedings relative to the Company, or any other obligor
upon the Debt Securities and Coupons of such series, its creditors or its
property, and to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or
deliverable on any such claims, and to distribute all amounts received with
respect to the claims of such Holders and of the Trustee on their behalf, and
any receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization is hereby
authorized by each of such Holders to make payments to the Trustee, and, in the
event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of payments directly to such
Holders, to pay to the Trustee such amount as shall be sufficient to cover
reasonable compensation to the Trustee, its agents, attorneys and counsel, and
all other reasonable expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made,
by the Trustee except as a result of its negligence or bad faith.

          All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture, or
under any of the Debt Securities and the Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto,
of any series, may be enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any such
Debt Securities or Coupons, or the production thereof in any trial or other
proceedings relative thereto, and any such action or proceedings instituted by
the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and
any recovery of judgment (except for any amounts payable to the Trustee pursuant
to Section 7.06) shall be for

                                       45
<PAGE>

the ratable benefit of the Holders of all the Debt Securities or Coupons in
respect of which such action was taken.

          In case of an Event of Default hereunder the Trustee may in its
discretion proceed to protect and enforce the rights vested in it by this
Indenture by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem
most effectual to protect and enforce any of such rights, either at law or in
equity or in bankruptcy or otherwise, whether for the specific enforcement of
any covenant or agreement contained in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise
of any power granted in this Indenture, or to enforce any other legal or
equitable right vested in the Trustee by this Indenture or by law.

          SECTION 6.03   Application of Moneys Collected by Trustee.  Any moneys
                         ------------------------------------------
collected by the Trustee pursuant to Section 6.02 with respect to Debt
Securities and Coupons, if any, of any series shall be applied in the order
following, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee for the distribution of
such moneys, upon presentation of the several Debt Securities or Coupons of such
series in respect of which moneys have been collected, and the notation thereon
of the payment, if only partially paid, and upon surrender thereof if fully
paid:

               FIRST:  To the payment of all money due the Trustee pursuant to
          Section 7.06;

               SECOND:  In case the principal of the Outstanding Debt Securities
          in respect of which such moneys have been collected shall not have
          become due, to the payment of interest on the Debt Securities or
          Coupons of such series in the order of the maturity of the
          installments of such interest, with interest (to the extent that such
          interest has been collected by the Trustee) upon the overdue
          installments of interest at the rate or Yield to Maturity (in the case
          of Original Issue Discount Debt Securities) borne by the Debt
          Securities or Coupons of such series, such payments to be made ratably
          to the Persons entitled thereto, without discrimination or preference;

               THIRD:  In case the principal of the Outstanding Debt Securities
          in respect of which such moneys have been collected shall have become
          due, by declaration or otherwise, to the payment of the whole amount
          then owing and unpaid upon the Debt Securities or Coupons of such
          series for principal and premium, if any, and interest, with interest
          on the overdue principal and premium, if any, and (to the extent that
          such interest has been collected by the Trustee) upon overdue
          installments of interest at the rate or Yield to Maturity (in the case
          of Original Issue Discount Debt Securities) borne by the Debt
          Securities or Coupons of such series; and, in case such moneys shall
          be insufficient to pay in full the whole amount so due and unpaid upon
          the Debt Securities and Coupons of such series, then to the payment of
          such principal and premium, if any, and interest, without preference
          or priority of principal and premium, if any, over interest, or of
          interest over principal and premium, if any, or of any installment of
          interest over any other installment of interest, or of any Debt
          Security or Coupon of such series over any Debt Security or Coupon of
          such series, ratably to the aggregate of such principal and premium,
          if any, and interest; and

                                       46
<PAGE>

               FOURTH:  The remainder, if any, shall be paid to the Company, its
          successors or assigns, or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to
          receive the same, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.

          The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to
Holders pursuant to this Section 6.03. At least 15 days before such record date,
the Company shall mail to each Holder and the Trustee a notice that states the
record date, the payment date and amount to be paid.

          SECTION 6.04   Limitation on Suits by Holders. No Holder of any Debt
                         ------------------------------
Security or Coupon of any series shall have any right by virtue or by availing
of any provision of this Indenture to institute any action or proceeding at law
or in equity or in bankruptcy or otherwise, upon or under or with respect to
this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any
other remedy hereunder, unless such Holder previously shall have given to the
Trustee written notice of an Event of Default with respect to Debt Securities of
that same series and of the continuance thereof and unless the Holders of not
less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities
of that series shall have made written request upon the Trustee to institute
such action or proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name
as Trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee such reasonable
indemnity as it may require against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be
incurred therein or thereby, and the Trustee, for 60 days after its receipt of
such notice, request and offer of indemnity shall have failed to institute any
such action or proceedings and no direction inconsistent with such written
request shall have been given to the Trustee pursuant to Section 6.06; it being
understood and intended, and being expressly covenanted by the Holder of every
Debt Security or Coupon with every other Holder and the Trustee, that no one or
more Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue or by
availing of any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the
rights of any Holders, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or
preference to any other such Holder, or to enforce any right under this
Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable and
common benefit of all such Holders. For the protection and enforcement of the
provisions of this Section 6.04, each and every Holder and the Trustee shall be
entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.

          Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, however, the
right of any Holder of any Debt Security or Coupon to receive payment of the
principal of, and premium, if any, and (subject to Section 2.12) interest on,
such Debt Security or Coupon, on or after the respective due dates expressed in
such Debt Security, and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such
payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected
without the consent of such Holder.

          SECTION 6.05   Remedies Cumulative; Delay or Omission in Exercise of
                         -----------------------------------------------------
Rights Not a Waiver of Default. All powers and remedies given by this Article VI
------------------------------
to the Trustee or to the Holders shall, to the extent permitted by law, be
deemed cumulative and not exclusive of any thereof or of any other powers and
remedies available to the Trustee or the Holders, by judicial proceedings or
otherwise, to enforce the performance or observance of the covenants and
agreements contained in this Indenture, and no delay or omission of the Trustee
or of any Holder to exercise any right or power accruing upon any Default
occurring and continuing as aforesaid, shall impair any such right or power, or
shall be construed to be a waiver of any such Default or

                                       47
<PAGE>

an acquiescence therein; and, subject to the provisions of Section 6.04, every
power and remedy given by this Article VI or by law to the Trustee or to the
Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as shall be deemed
expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders.

          SECTION 6.06   Rights of Holders of Majority in Principal Amount of
                         ----------------------------------------------------
Debt Securities to Direct Trustee and to Waive Default. The Holders of a
------------------------------------------------------
majority in aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities of any series at
the time Outstanding shall have the right to direct the time, method, and place
of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or
exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, with respect to the Debt
Securities of such series; provided, however, that such direction shall not be
                           --------  -------
otherwise than in accordance with law and the provisions of this Indenture, and
that subject to the provisions of Section 7.01, the Trustee shall have the right
to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee being advised by counsel
shall determine that the action so directed may not lawfully be taken, or if the
Trustee shall by a responsible officer or officers determine that the action so
directed would involve it in personal liability or would be unjustly prejudicial
to Holders of Debt Securities of such series not taking part in such direction;
and provided, further, however, that nothing in this Indenture contained shall
    --------  -------  -------
impair the right of the Trustee to take any action deemed proper by the Trustee
and which is not inconsistent with such direction by such Holders. Prior to the
acceleration of the maturity of the Debt Securities of any series, as provided
in Section 6.01, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Debt Securities of that series at the time Outstanding may on behalf of the
Holders of all the Debt Securities and any related Coupons of that series waive
any past Default or Event of Default and its consequences for that series
specified in the terms thereof as contemplated by Section 2.03, except (i) a
Default in the payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, or interest on,
any of the Debt Securities or in the payment of any related Coupon and (ii) a
Default in respect of a provision that under Section 9.02 cannot be amended
without the consent of each Holder affected thereby. In case of any such waiver,
such Default shall cease to exist, any Event of Default arising therefrom shall
be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture, and the
Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Debt Securities of that series shall
be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively; but no
such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right
consequent thereon.

          SECTION 6.07   Trustee to Give Notice of Defaults Known to It, but May
                         -------------------------------------------------------
Withhold Such Notice in Certain Circumstances.  The Trustee shall, within 90
----------------------------------------------
days after the occurrence of a Default known to it with respect to a series of
Debt Securities or Coupons, if any, give to the Holders thereof, in the manner
provided in Section 12.03, notice of all Defaults with respect to such series
known to the Trustee, unless such Defaults shall have been cured or waived
before the giving of such notice; provided, that, except in the case of Default
                                  --------
in the payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, any of
the Debt Securities or Coupons of such series or in the making of any sinking
fund payment with respect to the Debt 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 committee of directors or responsible
officers of the Trustee in good faith determine that the withholding of such
notice is in the interests of the Holders thereof and provided further that, in
the case of any Default as described in Section 6.01(d) with respect to Debt
Securities of such series, no such notice to Holders of Debt securities of such
series shall be given until the 90th day after the date of the notice specified
in such Section shall have been given.  Except with respect to a Default or an
Event of Default

                                       48
<PAGE>

pursuant to Section 6.01(a), (b) or (c), the Trustee will not be charged with
knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless written notice thereof shall
have been given to a responsible officer by the Company or any Holder and such
notice references the Debt Securities generally, the Company or this Indenture.

          SECTION 6.08   Requirement of an Undertaking To Pay Costs in Certain
                         -----------------------------------------------------
Suits under the Indenture or Against the Trustee. All parties to this Indenture
------------------------------------------------
agree, and each Holder of any Debt Security or Coupon 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 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 in the manner and to the extent provided in the Trust Indenture
Act, 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 6.08 shall not apply to
any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder, or
group of Holders, holding in the aggregate more than ten percent in principal
amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of that 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 Debt Security or Coupon on or after the
due date for such payment expressed in such Debt Security or Coupon.

                                  ARTICLE VII

                            Concerning the Trustee
                            ----------------------

          SECTION 7.01   Certain Duties and Responsibilities. The Trustee, prior
                         -----------------------------------
to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing or waiving of all
Events of Default which may have occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and
only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture. In case an
Event of Default has occurred (which has not been cured or waived), the Trustee
shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and
use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent man would
exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs.

          No provision of this In denture shall be construed to relieve the
Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure
to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that:

               (a)  this subsection shall not be construed to limit the effect
of the first paragraph of this Section 7.01;

               (b)  prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect
to the Debt Securities of a series and after the curing or waiving of all Events
of Default with respect to such series which may have occurred:

                    (1) the duties and obligations of the Trustee with respect
               to Debt Securities and Coupons, if any, of any series shall be
               determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture,
               and the Trustee shall not be liable except for

                                       49
<PAGE>

               the performance of such duties and obligations with respect to
               such series as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and
               no implied covenants or obligations with respect to such series
               shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and

                    (2) in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee,
               the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the
               statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein,
               upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and
               conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; but in the case
               of any such certificates or opinions 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;

               (c) the Trustee shall not be liable for an 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; and

               (d) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action
taken or omitted to be taken by it with respect to Debt Securities of any series
in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders of not less than a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of
that series 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 Debt Securities
of such series.

          None of the provisions of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to
expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any personal financial liability
in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of
its rights or powers, if there shall be reasonable grounds for believing that
repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is
not reasonably assured to it.

          Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this
Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording
protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section.

          SECTION 7.02   Certain Rights of Trustee. Except as otherwise provided

               (c) whenever in the administration of the Indenture, the Trustee

suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the Trustee (unless other evidence
be herein specifically provided) may, in the absence of bad faith on its part,
rely on an Officers' Certificate;

               (d) the Trustee may consult with counsel or require an Opinion of
Counsel, and the advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full

               (e) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of
the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request, order or

other evidence of indebtedness, or other paper or document, unless requested in
writing to do so by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of
the then Outstanding Debt Securities of a series affected by such matter;
provided, however, that if the payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee
--------  -------
of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making
of such investigation is not, in the opinion of the Trustee, reasonably assured
to the Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms of this Indenture,
the Trustee may require reasonable indemnity against such costs, expenses or
liabilities as a condition to so proceeding. The reasonable expense of every
such investigation shall be paid by the Company or, if paid by the Trustee,

                                       51
<PAGE>

(b) or (c)) unless written notice of such Default or Event of Default is
received by a responsible officer from the Company or a Holder and such notice
references the Debt Securities generally, the Company or this Indenture.

          SECTION 7.03   Trustee Not Liable for Recitals in Indenture or in Debt
                         -------------------------------------------------------
Securities.  The recitals contained herein, in the Debt Securities (except the
----------
Trustee's certificate of authentication) and in any Coupons shall be taken as
the statements of the Company, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for the
correctness of the same.  The Trustee makes no representations as to the
validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Debt Securities or Coupons,
if any, of any series or any prospectus related to the Debt Securities of any
series.  The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the
Company of any of the Debt Securities or of the proceeds thereof.

          SECTION 7.04   Trustee, Paying Agent or Registrar May Own Debt
                         -----------------------------------------------
Securities. The Trustee or any paying agent or Registrar, in its individual or
----------
any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Debt Securities or
Coupons and subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act relating to
conflicts of interest and preferential claims may otherwise deal with the
Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, paying agent
or Registrar.

          SECTION 7.05   Moneys Received by Trustee to Be Held in Trust. Subject
                         ----------------------------------------------
to the provisions of Section 11.05, all moneys received by the Trustee shall,
until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for
which they were received, but need not be segregated from other funds except to
the extent required by law. The Trustee shall be under no liability for interest
on any moneys received by it hereunder. So long as no Event of Default shall
have and be continuing, all interest allowed on any such moneys shall be paid
from time to time to the Company upon a Company Order.

          SECTION 7.06   Compensation and Reimbursement. The Company covenants
                         ------------------------------
and agrees to pay in Dollars to the Trustee from time to time, and the Trustee
shall be entitled to, reasonable compensation for all services rendered by it
hereunder (which shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the
compensation of a trustee of an express trust), and, except as otherwise
expressly provided herein, the Company will pay or reimburse in Dollars the
Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances
incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any of the provisions of this
Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and
disbursements of its agents, attorneys and counsel and of all Persons not
regularly in its employ and including all costs, expenses and losses associated
with the payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on any Debt
Securities denominated in a Foreign Currency) except any such expense,
disbursement or advances as may arise from its negligence or bad faith. The
Company also covenants to indemnify in Dollars the Trustee for, and to hold it
harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence,
willful misconduct or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, arising out of or in
connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust or trusts
hereunder, including the reasonable costs and expenses of defending itself
against any claim of liability in connection with the exercise or performance of
any of its powers or duties hereunder. The obligations of the Company under this
Section 7.06 to compensate and indemnify the Trustee and to pay or reimburse the
Trustee for expenses, disbursements and advances shall constitute additional
indebtedness hereunder and shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this
Indenture. Such

                                       52
<PAGE>

additional indebtedness shall be secured by a Lien prior to that of the Debt
Securities and Coupons, if any, upon all property and funds held or collected by
the Trustee, as such, except funds held in trust for the payment of principal
of, and premium, if any, or interest on, particular Debt Securities and Coupons.

          When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of
Default specified in Section 6.01(f) or (g) occurs, the expenses and the
compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of
administration under any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar
law.

          SECTION 7.07   Right of Trustee to Rely on an Officers' Certificate
                         ----------------------------------------------------
Where No Other Evidence Specifically Prescribed. Except as otherwise provided in
-----------------------------------------------
Section 7.01, whenever in the administration of the provisions of this Indenture
the Trustee shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or
established prior to taking or suffering or omitting any action hereunder, such
matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically
prescribed) may, in the absence of negligence or bad faith on the part of the
Trustee, be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by an Officers'
Certificate delivered to the Trustee and such certificate, in the absence of
negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, shall be full warrant to the
Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it under the provisions of
this Indenture upon the faith thereof.

          SECTION 7.08   Separate Trustee; Replacement of Trustee. The Company
                         ----------------------------------------
may, but need not, appoint a separate Trustee for any one or more series of Debt
Securities. The Trustee may resign with respect to one or more or all series of
Debt Securities at any time by giving notice to the Company. The Holders of a
majority in principal amount of the Debt Securities of a particular series may
remove the Trustee for such series and only such series by so notifying the
Trustee and may appoint a successor Trustee. The Company shall remove the
Trustee if:

                    (1) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10;

                    (2) the Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent;

                    (3) a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the
               Trustee or its property; or

                    (4) the Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting.

          If the Trustee resigns, is removed by the Company or by the Holders of
a majority in principal amount of the Debt Securities of a particular series and
such Holders do not reasonably promptly appoint a successor Trustee, or if a
vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason (the Trustee in such
event being referred to herein as the retiring Trustee), the Company shall
promptly appoint a successor Trustee with respect to the affected series of Debt
Securities. No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a
successor Trustee shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by
the successor Trustee in accordance with the applicable requirements of this
Section 7.08.

          If no successor Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of any
series shall have been so appointed by the Company or the Holders and accepted
in the manner required by this Section

                                       53
<PAGE>

7.08, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Debt Security of such
series for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others
similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of such
series.

          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, and the
successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee
under this Indenture. 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 7.06. The Company shall give notice of each resignation and each
removal of the Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of any series and
each appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of
any series to all Holders of Debt Securities of such series in the manner
provided in Section 12.03. Each notice shall include the name of the successor
Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of such series and the address of
the corporate trust office of such successor Trustee.

          If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the
retiring Trustee gives notice of resignation or is removed, the retiring Trustee
or the Holders of 25% in principal amount of the Debt Securities of any
applicable series may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of a successor Trustee for the Debt Securities of such series.

          If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10, any Holder of Debt
Securities of any applicable series may petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor
Trustee for the Debt Securities of such series.

          Notwithstanding the replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this
Section 7.08, the Company's obligations under Section 7.06 shall continue for
the benefit of the retiring Trustee.

          In the case of the appointment hereunder of a separate or successor
trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of one or more (but not all) series,
the Company, any retiring Trustee and each successor or separate Trustee with
respect to the Debt Securities of any applicable series shall execute and
deliver an indenture supplemental hereto (1) which shall contain such provisions
as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights,
powers, trusts and duties of any retiring Trustee with respect to the Debt
Securities of any series as to which any such retiring Trustee is not retiring
shall continue to be vested in such retiring Trustee and (2) that 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 separate, retiring or successor 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.

          SECTION 7.09   Successor Trustee by Merger. If the Trustee
                         ---------------------------
consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially
all its corporate trust business or assets to, another corporation or banking
association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation or banking
association without any further act shall be the successor Trustee.

                                       54
<PAGE>

          In case at the time such successor or successors by merger, conversion
or consolidation to the Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this
Indenture any of the Debt Securities shall have been authenticated but not
delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of
authentication of any predecessor trustee, and deliver such Debt Securities so
authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Debt Securities shall not
have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee may authenticate such Debt
Securities either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the
successor to the Trustee; and in all such cases such certificates shall have the
full force which it is anywhere in the Debt Securities or in this Indenture
provided that the certificate of the Trustee shall have.

          SECTION 7.10   Eligibility; Disqualification. The Trustee shall at
                         -----------------------------
all times satisfy the requirements of Section 310(a) of the Trust Indenture Act.
The Trustee shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 as
set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition. No obligor
upon the Debt Securities or Coupons, if any, of a particular series or Person
directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under common control with
such obligor shall serve as Trustee upon the Debt Securities and Coupons of such
series. The Trustee shall comply with Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act;
provided, however, that there shall be excluded from the operation of Section
--------  -------
310(b)(1) of the Trust Indenture Act this Indenture or any indenture or
indentures under which other securities or certificates of interest or
participation in other securities of the Company are outstanding if the
requirements for such exclusion set forth in Section 310(b)(1) of the Trust
Indenture Act are met.

          SECTION 7.11   Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company. The
                         -------------------------------------------------
Trustee shall comply with Section 311(a) of the Trust Indenture Act, excluding
any creditor relationship listed in Section 311(b) of the Trust Indenture Act. A
Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to Section 311(a) of
the Trust Indenture Act to the extent indicated therein.

          SECTION 7.12   Compliance with Tax Laws. The Trustee hereby agrees to
                         ------------------------
comply with all U.S. Federal income tax information reporting and withholding
requirements applicable to it with respect to payments of premium (if any) and
interest on the Debt Securities, whether acting as Trustee, Registrar, paying
agent or otherwise with respect to the Debt Securities.

                                 ARTICLE VIII

                            Concerning the Holders
                            ----------------------

          SECTION 8.01   Evidence of Action by Holders. Whenever in this
                         -----------------------------
Indenture it is provided that the Holders of a specified percentage in aggregate
principal amount of the Debt Securities of any or all series may take action
(including the making of any demand or request, the giving of any direction,
notice, consent or waiver or the taking of any other action) the fact that at
the time of taking any such action the Holders of such specified percentage have
joined therein may be evidenced (a) by any instrument or any number of
instruments of similar tenor executed by Holders in Person or by agent or proxy
appointed in writing, (b) by the record of the Holders voting in favor thereof
at any meeting of Holders duly called and held in accordance with the provisions
of Section 5.02 or (c) by a combination of such instrument or instruments and
any such record of such a meeting of Holders.

          SECTION 8.02   Proof of Execution of Instruments and of Holding of
                         ---------------------------------------------------
Debt Securities. Subject to the provisions of Sections 7.01, 7.02 and 12.11,
---------------
proof of the execution of any instrument by a Holder or his agent or proxy shall
be sufficient if made in accordance with such reasonable rules and regulations
as may be prescribed by the Trustee or in such manner as shall be satisfactory
to the Trustee.

          The ownership of Registered Securities of any series shall be proved
by the Debt Security Register or by a certificate of the Registrar for such
series.

          The ownership of Bearer Securities shall be proved by production of
such Bearer Securities or by a certificate executed by any bank or trust
company, which certificate shall be dated and shall state on the date thereof a
Bearer Security bearing a specified identifying number or other mark was
deposited with or exhibited to the Person executing such certificate by the
Person named in such certificate, or by any other proof of possession reasonably
satisfactory to the Trustee. The holding by the Person named in any such
certificate of any Bearer Security specified therein shall be presumed to
continue for a period of one year unless at the time of determination of such
holding (1) another certificate bearing a later date issued in respect of the
same Bearer Security shall be produced, (2) such Bearer Security shall be
produced by some other Person, (3) such Bearer Security shall have been
registered on the Debt Security Register, if, pursuant to Section 2.03, such
Bearer Security can be so registered, or (4) such Bearer Security shall have
been canceled or paid.

          The Trustee may require such additional proof of any matter referred
to in this Section 8.02 as it shall deem necessary.

          SECTION 8.03   Who May Be Deemed Owner of Debt Securities. Prior to
                         ------------------------------------------
due presentment for registration of transfer of any Registered Security, the
Company, the Trustee, any paying agent and any Registrar may deem and treat the
Person in whose name any Registered Security shall be registered upon the books
of the Company as the absolute owner of such Registered Security (whether or not
such Registered Security shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of
ownership or other writing thereon) for the purpose of receiving payment of or
on account of the principal of and premium, if any, and (subject to Section
2.03) interest on such Registered Security and for all other purposes, and
neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any paying agent nor any Registrar shall
be affected by any notice to the contrary; and all such payments so made to any
such Holder for the time being, or upon his order, shall be valid and, to the
extent of the sum or sums so paid, effectual to satisfy and discharge the
liability for moneys payable upon any such Registered Security.

          The Company, the Trustee and any paying agent may deem and treat the
Holder of any Bearer Security or Coupon as the absolute owner of such Bearer
Security or Coupon (whether or not such Debt Security shall be overdue and
notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing thereon) for the
purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal of and premium,
if any, and (subject to Section 2.03) interest on such Bearer Security or Coupon
and for all other purposes, and neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any
paying agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary; and all such
payments so made to any such Holder for the time being, or upon his order, shall
be valid and, to the extent of the sum or sums so paid,

                                       56
<PAGE>

effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability for moneys payable upon any
such Bearer Security or Coupon.

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

          SECTION 8.04   Instruments Executed by Holders Bind Future Holders. At
                         ---------------------------------------------------
any time prior to (but not after) the evidencing to the Trustee, as provided in
Section 8.01, of the taking of any action by the Holders of the percentage in
aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities of any series specified in
this Indenture in connection with such action and subject to the following
paragraph, any Holder of a Debt Security which is shown by the evidence to be
included in the Debt Securities the Holders of which have consented to such
action may, by filing written notice with the Trustee at its corporate trust
office and upon proof of holding as provided in Section 8.02, revoke such action
so far as concerns such Holder. Except as aforesaid, any such action taken by
the Holder of any Debt Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder
and upon all future Holders and owners of such Debt Security and all past,
present and future Holders of Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto, and of any
Debt Security issued upon transfer thereof or in exchange or substitution
therefor, irrespective of whether or not any notation in regard thereto is made
upon such Debt Security or such other Debt Securities or Coupons. Any action
taken by the Holders of the percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Debt
Securities of any series specified in this Indenture in connection with such
action shall be conclusively binding upon the Company, the Trustee and the
Holders of all the Securities and Coupons of such series.

          The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for
the purpose of determining the Holders of Registered Securities entitled to give
their consent or take any other action required or permitted to be taken
pursuant to this Indenture. If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding the
immediately preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Holders of Registered
Securities at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only
those Persons, shall be entitled to give such consent or to revoke any consent
previously given or to take any such action, whether or not such Persons
continue to be Holders of Registered Securities after such record date. No such
consent shall be valid or effective for more than 120 days after such record
date unless the consent of the Holders of the percentage in aggregate principal
amount of the Debt Securities of such series specified in this Indenture shall
have been received within such 120-day period.

thereof) for one or more of the following purposes:

               (b) to surrender any right or power herein conferred upon the
Company, to add to the covenants of the Company such further covenants,
restrictions, conditions or provisions for the protection of the Holders of all
or any series of Debt Securities and the Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto
(and if such covenants are to be for the benefit of less than all series of Debt
Securities, stating that such covenants are expressly being included solely for
the benefit of such series), and to make the occurrence, or the occurrence and
continuance, of a Default in any of such additional covenants, restrictions,
conditions or provisions a Default or an Event of Default permitting the
enforcement of all or any of the several remedies provided in this Indenture;
provided, that in respect of any such additional covenant, restriction,
--------
condition or provision such supplemental indenture may provide for a particular
period of grace after Default (which period may be shorter or longer than that
allowed in the case of other Defaults) or may provide for an immediate
enforcement upon such Default or may limit the right of the Holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of any or all series of Debt Securities
to waive such default;

provision contained herein, in any supplemental indenture or in any Debt
Security of any series that may be defective or inconsistent with any other

permit the qualification of this Indenture or any Indenture supplemental hereto
under the Trust Indenture Act as then in effect, except that nothing herein
contained shall permit or authorize the inclusion in any Indenture supplemental
hereto of the provisions referred to in Section 316(a)(2) of the Trust Indenture
Act;

any, on, Registered Securities or of principal of, or premium, if any, or
interest on, Bearer Securities or to permit Registered Securities to be
exchanged for Bearer Securities; provided, that any such action shall not
adversely affect the interests of the Holders of Debt Securities or any Coupons
of any series in any material respect or permit or facilitate the issuance of

Indenture in respect of one or more series of Debt Securities; provided,

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

               (j) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment
hereunder by a successor Trustee with respect to the Debt 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 or facilitate the administration of the trusts
hereunder by more than one Trustee; and

               (k) to establish the form or terms of Debt Securities and
Coupons, if any, of any series as permitted by Sections 2.01 and 2.03.

          The Trustee is hereby authorized to join with the Company in the
execution of any such supplemental indenture, to make any further appropriate
agreements and stipulations which may be therein contained and to accept the
conveyance, transfer, assignment, mortgage or pledge of any property thereunder,
but the Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into any such supplemental
indenture which affects the Trustee's own rights, duties or immunities under
this Indenture or otherwise.

          Any supplemental indenture authorized by the provisions of this
Section 9.01 may be executed by the Company and the Trustee without the consent
of the Holders of any of the Debt Securities or Coupons, if any, appertaining
thereto at the time Outstanding, notwithstanding any of the provisions of
Section 9.02.

          After an amendment under this Section 9.01 becomes effective, the
Company shall mail to Holders of Debt Securities of each series affected thereby
a notice briefly describing such amendment. The failure to give such notice to
all such Holders, or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity
of an amendment under this Section 9.01.

          SECTION 9.02   Modification of Indenture with Consent of Holders of
                         ----------------------------------------------------
Debt Securities. Without notice to any Holder but with the consent (evidenced as
---------------
provided in Section 8.01) of the Holders of not less than a majority in

resolution of the Board of Directors, and the Trustee may from time to time and
at any time enter into an Indenture or Indentures supplemental hereto (which
shall conform to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act as in force at the
date of execution thereof) for the purpose of adding any provisions to or
changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture or
of any supplemental indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the
Holders of the Debt Securities of such series; provided, that no such
                                               --------
supplemental indenture, without the consent of the Holders of each Debt Security
so affected, shall (i) reduce the percentage in principal amount of Debt
Securities of any series whose Holders must consent to

                                       59
<PAGE>

an amendment; (ii) reduce the rate of or extend the time for payment of interest
on any Debt Security or Coupon or reduce the amount of any payment to be made
with respect to any Coupon; (iii) reduce the principal of or change the Stated

in Section 3.02(b); (x) change any Place of Payment where any Debt Security or
any premium or interest thereon is payable; (xi) impair the right to institute
suit for the enforcement of any payment on or after the Stated Maturity of any
Debt Security (or in the case of redemption, on or after the date fixed for
redemption); or (xii) modify any of the provisions of this Section, Section 4.09
or Section 6.06, 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 Debt Security affected thereby,
provided, however, that this Section 9.02 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, Section 4.09, or the deletion of this
proviso, in accordance with the requirements of Section 7.08 and 9.01(j).

          A supplemental indenture which changes or eliminates any covenant or
other provision of this Indenture which has been expressly included solely for
the benefit of one or more particular series of Debt Securities and Coupons, if
any, or which modifies the rights of the Holders of Debt Securities and Coupons
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 Debt Securities
and Coupons, if any, of any other series.

          Upon the request of the Company, accompanied by a copy of a resolution
of the Board of Directors authorizing the execution of any such supplemental
indenture, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence of the consent of
Holders as aforesaid, the Trustee shall join with the Company in the execution
of such supplemental indenture unless such supplemental indenture affects the
Trustee's own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in
which case the Trustee may in its discretion but shall not be obligated to enter
into such supplemental indenture. The Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and
shall be fully protected in relying upon (subject to Section 7.01), an Officers'
Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such
supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture.

          It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this
Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental
indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the
substance thereof.

          After an amendment under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the
Company shall mail to Holders of Debt Securities of each series affected thereby

all such Holders, or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity
of an amendment under this Section 9.02.

          SECTION 9.03   Effect of Supplemental Indentures. Upon the execution
                         ---------------------------------
of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Article IX,
this Indenture shall be and be deemed to be modified and amended in accordance
therewith and the respective rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties
and immunities under this Indenture of the Trustee, the Company and the Holders
shall thereafter be determined, exercised and enforced hereunder subject in all
respects to such modifications and amendments, and all the terms and conditions
of any such supplemental indenture shall be and be deemed to be part of the
terms and conditions of this Indenture for any and all purposes.

          SECTION 9.04   Debt Securities May Bear Notation of Changes by

Supplemental Indentures. Debt Securities and Coupons, if any, of any series
-----------------------
authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental indenture
pursuant to the provisions of this Article IX 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. New Debt Securities and Coupons of
any series so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Trustee and the
Board of Directors, to any modification of this Indenture contained in any such
supplemental indenture may be prepared and executed by the Company,
authenticated by the Trustee and delivered in exchange for the Debt Securities
and Coupons of such series then Outstanding. Failure to make the appropriate
notation or to issue a new Debt Security or Coupon of such series shall not
affect the validity of such amendment.

          SECTION 9.05   Payment for Consent. Neither the Company nor any
                         -------------------
Affiliate of the Company shall, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid
any consideration, whether by way of interest, fee or otherwise, to any Holder
for or as an inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms
or provisions of this Indenture or the Debt Securities or Coupons, if any,
appertaining thereto unless such consideration is offered to be paid to all
Holders that so consent, waive or agree to amend in the time frame set forth in
solicitation documents relating to such consent, waiver or agreement.

          SECTION 10.01   Consolidations and Mergers of the Company. The Company
                          -----------------------------------------
shall not consolidate with, or sell or convey or lease all or substantially all
of its assets to, or merge with or into any other Person, unless: (i) either (a)
the Company shall be the continuing corporation in the case of a merger or (b)
the resulting, surviving or transferee Person if other than the Company (the
"Successor Company") shall be a corporation organized and existing under the
laws of the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia and the
Successor Company shall expressly assume, by an Indenture supplemental hereto,
executed and delivered to the Trustee, in form satisfactory to the Trustee, all
the obligations of the Company under the Debt Securities and Coupons, if any,
according to their tenor, and this Indenture; (ii)

                                       61

immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default or Event of
Default would occur or be continuing; (iii) the Successor Company waives any
right to redeem any Bearer Security under circumstances in which the Successor
Company would be entitled to redeem such Bearer Security but the Company would
not have been so entitled to redeem if the consolidation, merger, conveyance,
transfer or lease had not occurred; and (iv) the Company shall have delivered to
the Trustee an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating
that such consolidation, merger or transfer and such supplemental indenture (if
any) comply with this Indenture.

          SECTION 10.02   Rights and Duties of Successor Corporation. In case of
                          ------------------------------------------
any consolidation or merger, or conveyance or sale of the assets of the Company
as an entirety or substantially as an entirety in accordance with Section 10.01,
the Successor Company 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 predecessor corporation shall be relieved of any further obligation
under the Indenture and the Securities. The Successor Company thereupon may
cause to be signed, and may issue either in its own name or in the name of the
Company, any or all the Debt Securities issuable hereunder which theretofore
shall not have been signed by the Company and delivered to the Trustee; and,
upon the order of the Successor Company, instead of the Company, and subject to
all the terms, conditions and limitations in this Indenture prescribed, the
Trustee shall authenticate and shall deliver any Debt Securities and Coupons, if
any, appertaining thereto, which previously shall have been signed and delivered
by the officers of the Company to the Trustee for authentication, and any Debt
Securities and Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto, which the Successor
Company thereafter shall cause to be signed and delivered to the Trustee for
that purpose. All the Debt Securities and Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto
so issued shall in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under this
Indenture as the Debt Securities and Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto
theretofore or thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this Indenture
as though all such Debt Securities and Coupons had been issued at the date of
the execution hereof.

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

the Debt Securities of such series are Registered Securities and denominated and
payable only in Dollars (except as provided pursuant to Section 2.03), then the
provisions of this Article XI relating to defeasance of Debt Securities shall be
applicable except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 2.03 for Debt
Securities of such series. Defeasance provisions, if any, for Debt Securities
denominated in a Foreign Currency or for Bearer Securities may be specified
pursuant to Section 2.03.

(a) If at any time (i) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee for
cancellation all Debt Securities of any series theretofore authenticated and
delivered (other than (1) Coupons appertaining to Bearer Securities of such
series called for redemption and maturing after the relevant redemption date,
surrender of which has been waived, (2) any Debt Securities and Coupons of such
series which shall have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which shall have been
replaced or paid as provided in Section 2.09 and (3) Debt Securities and Coupons
for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust and thereafter
repaid to the Company as provided in Section 11.05) or (ii) all Debt Securities
and the Coupons, if any, of such series not theretofore delivered to the Trustee
for cancellation shall have become due and payable, whether by redemption or at
Stated Maturity or otherwise, and the Company shall deposit with the Trustee as
trust funds the entire amount in the Currency in which such Debt Securities are
denominated with respect to Bearer Securities or in Dollars with respect to
Registered Securities (in each case except as otherwise provided pursuant to
Section 2.03) sufficient to pay at maturity or upon redemption all Debt
Securities of such series not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for
cancellation, including principal and premium, if any, and interest due or to
become due on such date of maturity or redemption date, as the case may be, and
if in either case the Company shall also pay or cause to be paid all other sums
payable hereunder by the Company, then this Indenture shall cease to be of
further effect (except as to any surviving rights of registration of transfer or
exchange of such Debt Securities herein expressly provided for and rights to
receive payments of principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, such
Debt Securities and any right to receive additional interest as provided in
Section 4.06 and rights of the Trustee under Section 7.06) with respect to the
Debt Securities of such series, and the Trustee, on demand of the Company
accompanied by an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel and at the
cost and expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging
satisfaction of and discharging this Indenture.

               (b)  Subject to Sections 11.02(c), 11.03 and 11.07, the Company
at any time may terminate, with respect to Debt Securities of a particular
series, (i) all its obligations under the Debt Securities of such series and
this Indenture with respect to the Debt Securities of such series ("legal
defeasance option") or (ii) its obligations with respect to the Debt Securities
of such series under Sections 4.07 and 4.08 and clause (iii) of Section 10.01
and the related operation of Section 6.01(d) and the operation of Sections
6.01(d) and (h) ("covenant defeasance option"). The Company may exercise its
legal defeasance option notwithstanding its prior exercise of its covenant
defeasance option.

          If the Company exercises its legal defeasance option, payment of the
Debt Securities of the defeased series may not be accelerated because of an
Event of Default. If the Company exercises its covenant defeasance option,
payment of the Debt Securities of the defeased series may not be accelerated
because of an Event of Default specified in Sections 6.01(c), (d) and (h)
(except to the extent covenants or agreements referenced in such Sections remain
applicable).

          Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth herein and upon request
of the Company, the Trustee shall acknowledge in writing the discharge of those
obligations that the Company terminates.

               (c)  Notwithstanding clauses (a) and (b) above, the Company's
obligations in Sections 2.07, 2.09, 4.02, 4.04, 5.01, 7.06, 7.10, 11.05, 11.06

Debt Securities of the defeased series have been paid in full. Thereafter, the
Company's obligations in Sections 7.06, 11.05 and 11.06 shall survive.

          SECTION 11.03   Conditions of Defeasance. The Company may exercise
                          ------------------------
its legal defeasance option or its covenant defeasance option with respect to
Debt Securities of a particular series only if:

                    (1) the Company irrevocably deposits in trust with the
               Trustee money or U.S. Government Obligations for the payment of
               principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, the Debt
               Securities of such series to maturity or redemption, as the case
               may be;

                    (2) the Company delivers to the Trustee a certificate from a
               nationally recognized firm of independent accountants expressing
               their opinion that the payments of principal and interest when
               due and without reinvestment on the deposited U.S. Government
               Obligations plus any deposited money without investment will
               provide cash at such times and in such amounts as will be
               sufficient to pay the principal, premium and interest when due on
               all the Debt Securities of such series to maturity or redemption,
               as the case may be;

                    (3) 123 days pass after the deposit is made and during the
               123-day period no Default specified in Section 6.01(f) or (g)
               with respect to the Company occurs which is continuing at the end
               of the period;

                    (4) no Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of
               such deposit and after giving effect thereto;

                    (5) the deposit does not constitute a default under any
               other agreement binding on the Company;

                    (6) the Company delivers to the Trustee an Opinion of
               Counsel to the effect that the trust resulting from the deposit
               does not constitute, or is qualified as, a regulated investment
               company under the Investment Company Act of 1940;

                    (7) in the event of the legal defeasance option, the Company
               shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating
               that (i) the Company has received from the Internal Revenue
               Service a ruling, or (ii) since the date of this Indenture there
               has been a change in the applicable Federal income tax law, in
               either case of the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of
               Counsel shall confirm that, the Holders of Debt Securities of
               such series will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal
               income tax purposes as a result of such defeasance and will be
               subject to Federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same
               manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such
               defeasance had not occurred;

                    (8) in the event of the covenant defeasance option, the
               Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel
               to the effect that the Holders of Debt Securities of such series
               will not recognize income, gain or loss for

                                       64
<PAGE>

               Federal income tax purposes as a result of such covenant
               defeasance and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same
               amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have
               been the case if such covenant defeasance had not occurred;

                    (9) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an
               Officers' Certificate to the effect that the Debt Securities of
               such series, if then listed on any securities exchange, will not
               be delisted as a result of such deposit.

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

                    (11) the Company delivers to the Trustee an Officers'
               Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all
               conditions precedent to the defeasance and discharge of the Debt
               Securities of such series as contemplated by this Article XI have
               been complied with.

          Before or after a deposit, the Company may make arrangements
satisfactory to the Trustee for the redemption of Debt Securities of such series
at a future date in accordance with Article III.

          SECTION 11.04.  Application of Trust Money. The Trustee shall hold in
                          --------------------------
trust money or U.S. Government Obligations deposited with it pursuant to this
Article XI. It shall apply the deposited money and the money from U.S.
Government Obligations through any paying agent and in accordance with this
Indenture to the payment of principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on,
the Debt Securities and Coupons, if any, of the defeased series.

          SECTION 11.05   Repayment to Company. The Trustee and any paying
                          --------------------
agent shall promptly turn over to the Company upon request any excess money or
securities held by them at any time.

          Subject to any applicable abandoned property law, the Trustee and any
paying agent shall pay to the Company upon request any money held by them for
the payment of principal, premium or interest that remains unclaimed for two
years, and, thereafter, Holders entitled to such money must look to the Company
for payment as general creditors.

          SECTION 11.06   Indemnity for U.S. Government Obligations. The
                          -----------------------------------------
Company shall pay and shall indemnify the Trustee and the Holders against any
tax, fee or other change imposed on or assessed against deposited U.S.
Government Obligations or the principal and interest received on such U.S.
Government Obligations.

          SECTION 11.07   Reinstatement. If the Trustee or any paying agent is
                          -------------
unable to apply any money or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with this
Article XI by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or
judgment of any court or government authority enjoining, restraining or
otherwise prohibiting such application, the Company's obligations under this
Indenture and the Debt Securities of the defeased series shall be revived and
reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article XI until
such time as

                                       65
<PAGE>

the Trustee or any paying agent is permitted to apply all such money or U.S.
Government Obligations in accordance with this Article XI.

by such Persons as, at the actual date of the execution of such Debt Security or
Coupon, shall be the proper officers of the Company, although at the date of
such Debt Security or Coupon or of the execution of this Indenture any such
Person was not such officer.

     SECTION 2.05.  Authentication and Delivery of Debt Securities.  At any time
                    ----------------------------------------------

Company may deliver Debt Securities, with appropriate Coupons, if any, of any
series executed by the Company to the Trustee for authentication, together with
a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such Debt Securities, and
the Trustee shall thereupon authenticate and deliver said Debt Securities and
Coupons in accordance with the Company Order. In authenticating such Debt
Securities and Coupons, and accepting the additional responsibilities under this
Indenture in relation to such Debt Securities and Coupons, the Trustee shall be
entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 7.01) shall be fully protected in
relying upon:

          (1)  a copy of any resolution or resolutions of the Board of
Directors, certified by the Secretary or Assistant Secretary of the Company,
authorizing the terms of issuance and the form of any series of Debt Securities
and Coupons or authorizing the approval of any such terms of issuance and form

provisions of this Indenture;

                                       14
<PAGE>

          (b)  that the terms of such Debt Securities and Coupons have been
established by or pursuant to a resolution of the Board of Directors or by a
supplemental indenture as permitted by Section 2.03 in conformity with the
provisions of this Indenture;

          (c)  that such Debt Securities and Coupons, when authenticated and
delivered by the Trustee and issued by the Company in the manner and subject to
any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute valid and
legally binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their
terms except as (i) the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy,
insolvency or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights
generally and (ii) rights of acceleration and the availability of equitable
remedies may be limited by equitable principles of general applicability;

          (d)  that the Company has the corporate power to issue such Debt
Securities and Coupons and has duly taken all necessary corporate action with
respect to such issuance;

          (e)  that the issuance of such Debt Securities and Coupons will not
contravene the certificate of incorporation or by?laws of the Company or result
in any material violation of any of the terms or provisions of any law or
regulation or of any indenture, mortgage or other agreement known to such
counsel by which the Company is bound;

          (f)  that authentication and delivery of such Debt Securities and
Coupons and the execution and delivery of any supplemental indenture will not
violate the terms of this Indenture; and

          (g)  such other matters as the Trustee may reasonably request.

     Such Opinion of Counsel need express no opinion as to whether a court in
the United States would render a money judgment in a currency other than that of
the United States.

     The Trustee shall have the right to decline to authenticate and deliver any
Debt Securities or Coupons under this Section 2.05 if the Trustee, being advised
by counsel, determines that such action may not lawfully be taken or if the
Trustee in good faith by its board of directors or trustees, executive committee
or a trust committee of directors, trustees or vice presidents shall determine
that such action would expose the Trustee to personal liability to existing
Holders.

     The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent reasonably acceptable to
the Company to authenticate Debt Securities and Coupons, if any, of any series.
Unless limited by the terms of such appointment, an authenticating agent may
authenticate Debt Securities whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in
this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such
agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as any Registrar, paying
agent or agent for service of notices and demands.

Debt Security shall be dated the date of its authentication.

     SECTION 2.06.  Denomination of Debt Securities.  Unless otherwise provided
                    -------------------------------
in the form of Debt Security for any series, the Debt Securities of each series
shall be issuable only as Registered Securities in such denominations as shall
be specified or contemplated by Section 2.03. In the absence of any such
specification with respect to the Debt Securities of any series, the Debt
Securities of such series shall be issuable in denominations of $1,000 and any
integral multiple thereof.

     SECTION 2.07.  Registration of Transfer and Exchange.  (a) The Company
                    -------------------------------------
shall keep or cause to be kept a register for each series of Registered
Securities issued hereunder (hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Debt
Security Register"), in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may
prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of Registered
Securities and the transfer of Registered Securities as provided in this Article
II. At all reasonable times the Debt Security Register shall be open for
inspection by the Trustee. Subject to Section 2.15, upon due presentment for
registration of transfer of any Registered Security at any office or agency to
be maintained by the Company in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.02,
the Company shall execute and, upon receipt of a Company Order requesting
authentication and delivery, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in the
name of the transferee or transferees a new Registered Security or Registered
Securities of authorized denominations for a like aggregate principal amount.
Except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 2.03, in no event may
Registered Securities, including Registered Securities received in exchange for
Bearer Securities, be exchanged for Bearer Securities.

     Unless and until otherwise determined by the Company by resolution of the
Board of Directors, the register of the Company for the purpose of registration,
exchange or registration of transfer of the Registered Securities shall be kept
at the corporate trust office of the Trustee and, for this purpose, the Trustee
shall be designated "Registrar".

     Registered Securities of any series (other than a Global Security, except
as set forth below) may be exchanged for a like aggregate principal amount of
Registered Securities of the same series of other authorized denominations.
Subject to Section 2.15, Registered Securities to be exchanged shall be
surrendered at the office or agency to be maintained by the Company as provided
in Section 4.02, and the Company shall execute and, upon receipt of a Company
Order requesting the authentication and delivery, the Trustee shall authenticate
and deliver in exchange therefor the Registered Security or Registered
Securities which the Holder making the exchange shall be entitled to receive.

     At the option of the Holder of Bearer Securities of any series, except as
otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.03(7) or 2.03(18) with respect
to a Global Security representing Bearer Securities, Bearer Securities of such
series may be exchanged for Registered Securities (if the Debt Securities of
such series are issuable as Registered Securities) or Bearer Securities of the
same series, of any authorized denomination or denominations, of like tenor and
aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Bearer Securities to be
exchanged at the office or agency of the

                                       16
<PAGE>

Company maintained for such purpose, with all unmatured Coupons and all matured
Coupons in Default thereto appertaining; provided, however, that delivery of a
Bearer Security shall occur only outside the United States. If such Holder is
unable to produce any such unmatured Coupon or Coupons or matured Coupon or
Coupons in Default, such exchange may be effected if such Holder's Bearer
Securities are accompanied by payment in funds acceptable to the Company and the
Trustee in an amount equal to the face amount of such missing Coupon or Coupons,
or the surrender of such missing Coupon or Coupons may be waived by the Company
and the Trustee if there be furnished to them such security or indemnity as they
may require to save each of them and any paying agent harmless. If thereafter
such Holder shall surrender to any paying agent any such missing Coupon in
respect of which such a payment shall have been made, such Holder shall be
entitled to receive the amount of such payment; provided, however, that, except
as otherwise provided in Section 2.12, interest represented by Coupons shall be
payable only upon presentation and surrender of those Coupons at an office or
agency located outside the United States.

     Whenever any Debt Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company
shall execute, and, upon receipt of a Company Order requesting the
authentication and delivery, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the
Debt Securities that the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, the exchange of Bearer Securities for
Registered Securities will be subject to the provisions of United States income
tax laws and regulations applicable to Debt Securities in effect at the time of
such exchange.

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

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

     No service charge shall be made for any exchange or registration of
transfer of Debt Securities (except as provided by Section 2.09), but the
Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto, other than those
expressly provided in this Indenture to be made at the Company's own expense or
without expense or without charge to the Holders.

     The Company shall not be required (a) to issue, register the transfer of or
exchange any Debt Securities for a period of 15 days next preceding the day of
any mailing of notice of redemption of Debt Securities of such series or (b) to
register the transfer of or exchange any Debt Securities selected, called or
being called for

                                       17
<PAGE>

redemption; provided, however, that, if specified pursuant to Section 2.03, any
Bearer Securities of any series that are exchangeable for Registered Securities
and that are called for redemption pursuant to Section 3.02 may, to the extent
permitted by applicable law, be exchanged for one or more Registered Securities
of such series during the period preceding the redemption date therefor.

     Prior to the due presentation for registration of transfer of any Debt
Security, the Company, the Trustee, any paying agent or any Registrar may deem
and treat the Person in whose name a Debt Security is registered as the absolute
owner of such Debt Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal
of, and premium, if any, and interest on, such Debt Security and for all other
purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Debt Security is overdue, and none of
the Company, the Trustee, any paying agent or Registrar shall be affected by
notice to the contrary.

     Title to any Bearer Security and any Coupons appertaining thereto shall
pass by delivery.  The Company, the Trustee, the paying agent and any agent of
the Company or the Trustee may treat the bearer of any Bearer Security and the
bearer of any Coupon as the absolute owner of such Bearer Security or Coupon for
the purpose of receiving payment thereof or on account thereof and for all other
purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Bearer Security or Coupon be overdue,
and none of the Company, the Trustee, the paying agent or any agent of the
Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

     SECTION 2.08.  Temporary Debt Securities.  Pending the preparation of
                    -------------------------
definitive Debt Securities of any series, the Company may execute and, upon
receipt of a Company Order requesting the authentication and delivery, the
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver temporary Debt Securities (printed,
lithographed, photocopied, typewritten or otherwise produced) of any authorized
denomination, and substantially in the form of the definitive Debt Securities in
lieu of which they are issued, in registered form or, if authorized, in bearer
form with one or more Coupons or without Coupons, and with such omissions,
insertions and variations as may be appropriate for temporary Debt Securities
and Coupons, all as may be determined by the Company with the concurrence of the
Trustee. Temporary Debt Securities and Coupons may contain such reference to any
provisions of this Indenture as may be appropriate. Every temporary Debt
Security shall be executed by the Company and be authenticated by the Trustee
upon the same conditions and in substantially the same manner, and with like
effect, as the definitive Debt Securities.

     If temporary Debt Securities of any series are issued, the Company will
cause definitive Debt Securities of such series to be prepared without
unreasonable delay. Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section
2.03(8)(z) with respect to a series of Debt Securities issuable as Bearer
Securities or as one or more Global Securities representing individual Bearer
Securities of the series, (a) after the preparation of definitive Debt
Securities of such series, the temporary Debt Securities of such series shall be
exchangeable for definitive Debt Securities of such series upon surrender of the
temporary Debt Securities of such series at the office or agency of the Company
in a Place of Payment for such series, without charge to the Holder thereof,
except as

                                       18
<PAGE>

provided in Section 2.07 in connection with a transfer and except that a Person
receiving definitive Bearer Securities shall bear the cost of insurance,
postage, transportation and the like unless otherwise specified pursuant to
Section 2.03, and (b) upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more
temporary Debt Securities of any series (accompanied by any unmatured Coupons
appertaining thereto), the Company shall execute and, upon receipt of a Company
Order requesting the authentication and delivery, the Trustee shall authenticate
and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of definitive Debt
Securities of the same series of authorized denominations and of like tenor;
provided, however, that no definitive Bearer Security shall be delivered in
exchange for a temporary Registered Security; and provided, further, however,
that delivery of a Global Security representing individual Bearer Securities or
a Bearer Security shall occur only outside the United States. Until so
exchanged, temporary Debt Securities of any series shall in all respects be
entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Debt Securities
of such series, except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section
2.03(8)(y) with respect to the payment of interest on Global Securities in
temporary form.

     Unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 2.03, the Company will
execute and deliver each definitive Global Security representing individual
Bearer Securities and each Bearer Security to the Trustee at its principal
office in London or such other place outside the United States specified
pursuant to Section 2.03.

     Upon any exchange of a portion of a temporary Global Security for a
definitive Global Security or for the individual Debt Securities represented
thereby pursuant to Section 2.07 or this Section 2.08, the temporary Global
Security shall be endorsed by the Trustee to reflect the reduction of the
principal amount evidenced thereby, whereupon the principal amount of such
temporary Global Security shall be reduced for all purposes by the amount to
exchanged and endorsed.

     SECTION 2.09.  Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Debt Securities.  If
                    ----------------------------------------------------
(i) any mutilated Debt Security or any mutilated Coupon with the Coupon Security
to which it appertains (and all unmatured Coupons attached thereto) is
surrendered to the Trustee at its corporate trust office (in the case of
Registered Securities) or at its principal London office (in the case of Bearer
Securities) or (ii) the Company and the Trustee receive evidence to their
satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Debt Security or any
Coupon, and there is delivered to the Company and the Trustee such security or
indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and any paying agent
harmless, and neither the Company nor the Trustee receives notice that such Debt
Security or Coupon has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, then the Company
shall execute and, upon receipt of a Company Order requesting the authentication
and delivery, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in
lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Debt Security or in
exchange for the Coupon Security to which such mutilated, destroyed, lost or
stolen Coupon appertained, a new Debt Security of the same series of like tenor,
form, terms and principal amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously
Outstanding, and, in the case of a Coupon Security, with such Coupons attached
thereto that neither gain nor loss in interest shall result from such exchange
or substitution. Upon the issuance of any substituted Debt Security, the Company
may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other

                                       19
<PAGE>

governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other
expenses connected therewith. In case any Debt Security or Coupon which has
matured or is about to mature or which has been called for redemption shall
become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company may, instead of
issuing a substituted Debt Security or Coupon, pay or authorize the payment of
the same (without surrender thereof except in the case of a mutilated Debt
Security or Coupon) if the applicant for such payment shall furnish the Company
and the Trustee with such security or indemnity as either may require to save it
harmless from all risk, however remote, and, in case of destruction, loss or
theft, evidence to the satisfaction of the Company and the Trustee of the
destruction, loss or theft of such Debt Security or Coupon and of the ownership
thereof; provided, however, that payment of principal of, and premium, if any,
and interest on, Bearer Securities or Coupons shall, except as otherwise
provided in Section 2.12, be payable only at an office or agency located outside
the United States.

     Every substituted Debt Security of any series, with its Coupons, if any,
issued pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.09 by virtue of the fact
that any Debt Security or Coupon is destroyed, lost or stolen shall constitute
an original additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the
destroyed, lost or stolen Debt Security or Coupon shall be found at any time,
and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and
proportionately with any and all other Debt Securities of that series and
Coupons, if any, duly issued hereunder.  All Debt Securities and Coupons, if
any, shall be held and owned upon the express condition that the foregoing
provisions are exclusive with respect to the replacement or payment of
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Debt Securities or Coupons, and shall
preclude any and all other rights or remedies, notwithstanding any law or
statute existing or hereafter enacted to the contrary with respect to the
replacement or payment of negotiable instruments or other securities without
their surrender.

     SECTION 2.10.  Cancellation of Surrendered Debt Securities.  All Debt
                    -------------------------------------------
Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or
exchange and all Coupons surrendered for payment or exchange shall, if
surrendered to the Company or any paying agent or a Registrar, be delivered to
the Trustee for cancellation by it, or if surrendered to the Trustee, shall be
canceled by it, and no Debt Securities or Coupons shall be issued in lieu
thereof except as expressly permitted by any of the provisions of this
Indenture. All canceled Debt Securities and Coupons held by the Trustee shall be
destroyed (subject to the record retention requirements of the Exchange Act) and
certification of their destruction (or retention) delivered to the Company,
unless otherwise directed. On request of the Company, the Trustee shall deliver
to the Company canceled Debt Securities and Coupons held by the Trustee. If the
Company shall acquire any of the Debt Securities or Coupons, however, such
acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the
indebtedness represented thereby unless and until the same are delivered or
surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation. The Company may not issue new Debt
Securities or Coupons to replace Debt Securities or Coupons it has redeemed,
paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

     SECTION 2.11.  Provisions of the Indenture and Debt Securities for the
                    -------------------------------------------------------
Sole Benefit of the Parties and the Holders.  Nothing in this Indenture or in
-------------------------------------------
the Debt Securities

                                       20
<PAGE>

or Coupons, expressed or implied, shall give or be construed to give to any
Person, other than the parties hereto, the Holders or any Registrar or paying
agent, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this
Indenture, or under any covenant, condition or provision herein contained; all
its covenants, conditions and provisions being for the sole benefit of the
parties hereto, the Holders and any Registrar and paying agents.

     SECTION 2.12.  Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved.  (a)
                    ----------------------------------------------
Interest on any Registered Security that is payable and is punctually paid or
duly provided for on any interest payment date shall be paid to the Person in
whose name such Registered Security is registered at the close of business on
the regular record date for such interest notwithstanding the cancellation of
such Registered Security upon any transfer or exchange subsequent to the regular
record date. In case a Coupon Security of any series is surrendered in exchange
for a Registered Security of such series after the close of business (at an
office or agency in a Place of Payment for such series) on any regular record
date and before the opening of business (at such office or agency) on the next
succeeding interest payment date, such Coupon Security shall be surrendered
without the Coupon relating to such interest payment date and interest will not
be payable on such interest payment date in respect of the Registered Security
issued in exchange for such Coupon Security, but will be payable only to the
Holder of such Coupon when due in accordance with the provisions of this
Indenture. Payment of interest on Registered Securities shall be made at the
corporate trust office of the Trustee (except as otherwise specified pursuant to
Section 2.03), or at the option of the Company, by check mailed to the address
of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Debt Security
Register or, if provided by the terms of the Registered Securities pursuant to
Section 2.03 and in accordance with arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee, at
the option of the Registered Holder by wire transfer to an account designated by
the Registered Holder.

          (b)  No interest shall be payable with respect to a Bearer Security or
Coupon unless such certification requirements as are specified pursuant to
Section 2.03(8) are satisfied with respect to such Bearer Security or Coupon.
Interest on any Coupon Security that is payable and is punctually paid or duly
provided for on any interest payment date shall be paid to the Holder of the
Coupon that has matured on such interest payment date upon surrender of such
Coupon on such interest payment date at the principal London office of the
Trustee or at such other Place of Payment outside the United States specified
pursuant to Section 2.03.

     Interest on any Bearer Security (other than a Coupon Security) that is
payable and is punctually paid or duly provided for on any interest payment date
shall be paid to the Holder of the Bearer Security upon presentation of such
Bearer Security and notation thereon on such interest payment date at the
principal London office of the Trustee or at such other Place of Payment outside
the United States specified pursuant to Section 2.03.

     Unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 2.03, at the direction of
the Holder of any Bearer Security or Coupon payable in Dollars, and subject to
applicable laws and regulations, payments in respect of such Bearer Security or
Coupon will be made by

                                       21
<PAGE>

check drawn on a bank in New York, New York or, if provided by the terms of such
Bearer Security or Coupon pursuant to Section 2.03 and in accordance with
arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee, by wire transfer to a Dollar account
maintained by such Holder with a bank outside the United States. If such payment
at the offices of all paying agents outside the United States becomes illegal or
is effectively precluded because of the imposition of exchange controls or
similar restrictions on the full payment or receipt of such amounts in Dollars,
the Company will appoint an office or agent in the United States at which such
payment may be made. Unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 2.03, at the
direction of the Holder of any Bearer Security or Coupon payable in a Foreign
Currency, payment on such Bearer Security or Coupon will be made by a check
drawn on a bank outside the United States or, if provided by the terms of such
Bearer Security or Coupon pursuant to Section 2.03 and in accordance with
arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee, by wire transfer to an appropriate
account maintained by such Holder outside the United States. Except as provided
in this paragraph, no payment on any Bearer Security or Coupon will be made by
mail to an address in the United States or by transfer to an account maintained
by the Holder thereof in the United States.

          (c)  Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.12 and
Section 2.17, each Debt Security of a particular series delivered under this
Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any
other Debt Security of the same series shall carry the rights to interest
accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Debt
Security.

     SECTION 2.13.  Securities Denominated in Foreign Currencies.  (a) Except as
                    --------------------------------------------
otherwise specified pursuant to Section 2.03 for Bearer Securities of any
series, payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on,
Bearer Securities of such series denominated in any Currency will be made in
such Currency.

          (b)  Except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 2.03 for
Registered Securities of any series, payment of the principal of, and premium,
if any, and interest on, Registered Securities of such series denominated in any
Currency will be made in Dollars.

          (c)  For the purposes of calculating the principal amount of Debt
Securities of any series denominated in a Foreign Currency or in units of two or
more Foreign Currencies (including European Currency Units) for any purpose
under this Indenture, the principal amount of such Debt Securities at any time
Outstanding shall be deemed to be the Dollar Equivalent of such principal amount
as of the date of any such calculation.

     In the event any Foreign Currency or Currencies or units of two or more
Currencies in which any payment with respect to any series of Debt Securities
may be made ceases to be a freely convertible Currency on United States Currency
markets, for any date thereafter on which payment of principal of, or premium,
if any, or interest on, the Debt Securities of a series is due, the Company
shall select the Currency of payment for use on such date, all as provided in
the Debt Securities of such series.  In such event, the Company shall notify the
Trustee of the Currency which it has selected to constitute

                                       22
<PAGE>

the funds necessary to meet the Company's obligations on such payment date and
of the amount of such Currency to be paid. Such amount shall be determined as
provided in the Debt Securities of such series. The payment with respect to such
payment date shall be deposited with the Trustee by the Company solely in the
Currency so selected.

     SECTION 2.14.  Wire Transfers.  Notwithstanding any other provision to the
                    --------------
contrary in this Indenture, the Company may make any payment of monies required
to be deposited with the Trustee on account of principal of, or premium, if any,
or interest on, the Debt Securities (whether pursuant to optional or mandatory
redemption payments, interest payments or otherwise) by wire transfer in
immediately available funds to an account designated by the Trustee on or before
the date such moneys are to be paid to the Holders of the Debt Securities in
accordance with the terms hereof.

     SECTION 2.15.  Securities Issuable in the Form of a Global Security.  (a)
                    ----------------------------------------------------
If the Company shall establish pursuant to Sections 2.01 and 2.03 that the Debt
Securities of a particular series are to be issued in whole or in part in the
form of one or more Global Securities, then the Company shall execute and the
Trustee or its agent shall, upon receipt of a Company Order requesting
authentication and delivery in accordance with Section 2.05, authenticate and
deliver, such Global Security or Securities, which (i) shall represent, and
shall be denominated in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of,
the Outstanding Debt Securities of such series to be represented by such Global
Security or Securities, or such portion thereof as the Company shall specify in
an Officers' Certificate, (ii) shall be registered in the name of the Depositary
for such Global Security or Securities or its nominee, (iii) shall be delivered
by the Trustee or its agent to the Depositary or pursuant to the Depositary's
instruction and (iv) shall bear a legend substantially to the following effect:
"Unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for the individual Debt
Securities represented hereby, this Global Security may not be transferred
except as whole by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary or by a nominee
of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary or by
the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of
such successor Depositary", or such other legend as may then be required by the
Depositary for such Global Security or Securities.

          (b)  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.15 or of
Section 2.07 to the contrary, and subject to the provisions of paragraph (c)
below, unless the terms of a Global Security expressly permit such Global
Security to be exchanged in whole or in part for definitive Debt Securities in
registered form, a Global Security may be transferred, in whole but not in part
and in the manner provided in Section 2.07, only by the Depositary to a nominee
of the Depositary for such Global Security, or by a nominee of the Depositary to
the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary, or by the Depositary or a
nominee of the Depositary to a successor Depositary for such Global Security
selected or approved by the Company, or to a nominee of such successor
Depositary.

          (c)  (i) If at any time the Depositary for a Global Security or
Securities notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as
Depositary for such Global Security or Securities or if at any time the
Depositary for the Debt Securities for

                                       23
<PAGE>

such series shall no longer be eligible or in good standing under the Exchange
Act or other applicable statute or regulation, the Company shall appoint a
successor Depositary with respect to such Global Security or Securities. If a
successor Depositary for such Global Security or Securities is not appointed by
the Company within 90 days after the Company receives such notice or becomes
aware of such ineligibility, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee or its
agent, upon receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of
such individual Debt Securities of such series in exchange for such Global
Security, will authenticate and deliver, individual Debt Securities of such
series of like tenor and terms in definitive form in an aggregate principal
amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security in exchange for such
Global Security or Securities.

     (ii)  The Company may at any time and in its sole discretion determine that
the Debt Securities of any series or portion thereof issued or issuable in the
form of one or more Global Securities shall no longer be represented by such
Global Security or Securities. In such event the Company will execute, and the
Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of
individual Debt Securities of such series in exchange in whole or in part for
such Global Security, will authenticate and deliver individual Debt Securities
of such series of like tenor and terms in definitive form in an aggregate
principal amount equal to the principal amount of such series or portion thereof
in exchange for such Global Security or Securities.

     (iii) If specified by the Company pursuant to Sections 2.01 and 2.03 with
respect to Debt Securities issued or issuable in the form of a Global Security,
the Depositary for such Global Security may surrender such Global Security in
exchange in whole or in part for individual Debt Securities of such series of
like tenor and terms in definitive form on such terms as are acceptable to the
Company, the Trustee and such Depositary. Thereupon the Company shall execute,
and the Trustee upon receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and
delivery of definitive Debt Securities of such series, shall authenticate and
deliver, without service charge, (1) to each Person specified by such Depositary
a new Debt Security or Securities of the same series of like tenor and terms and
of any authorized denomination as requested by such Person in aggregate
principal amount equal to and in exchange for such Person's beneficial interest
in the Global Security; and (2) to such Depositary a new Global Security of like
tenor and terms and in an authorized denomination equal to the difference, if
any, between the principal amount of the surrendered Global Security and the
aggregate principal amount of Debt Securities delivered to Holders thereof.

     (iv)  In any exchange provided for in any of the preceding three
paragraphs, the Company will execute and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company
Order requesting the authentication and delivery of individual Debt Securities,
will authenticate and deliver individual Debt Securities. Upon the exchange of
the entire principal amount of a Global Security for individual Debt Securities,
such Global Security shall be canceled by the Trustee or its agent. Except as
provided in the preceding paragraph, Registered Securities issued in exchange
for a Global Security pursuant to this Section 2.15 shall be registered in such
names and in such authorized denominations as the Depositary for such Global
Security, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or

                                       24
<PAGE>

otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee or the Registrar. The Trustee or the
Registrar shall deliver such Registered Securities to the Persons in whose names
such Registered Securities are so registered.

     (v)  Payments in respect of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest
on any Debt Securities registered in the name of the Depositary or its nominee
will be payable to the Depositary or such nominee in its capacity as the
registered owner of such Global Security. The Company and the Trustee may treat
the person in whose names the Debt Securities, including the Global Security,
are registered as the owner thereof for the purpose of receiving such payments
and for any and all other purposes whatsoever. None of the Company, the Trustee,
any Registrar, the paying agent or any agent of the Company or the Trustee will
have any responsibility or liability for (a) any aspect of the records relating
to or payments made on account of the beneficial ownership interests of the
Global Security by the Depositary or its nominee or any of the Depositary's
direct or indirect participants, or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing
any records of the Depositary, its nominee or any of its direct or indirect
participants relating to the beneficial ownership interests of the Global
Security, (b) the payments to the beneficial owners of the Global Security of
amounts paid to the Depositary or its nominee, or (c) for any other matter
relating to the actions and practices of the Depositary, its nominee or any of
its direct or indirect participants. None of the Company, the Trustee or any
such agent will be liable for any delay by the Depositary, its nominee, or any
of its direct or indirect participants in identifying the beneficial owners of
the Debt Securities, and the Company and the Trustee may conclusively rely on,
and will be protected in relying on, instructions from the Depositary or its
nominee for all purposes (including with respect to the registration and
delivery, and the respective principal amounts, of the Debt Securities to be
issued).

     The Trustee shall deliver individual Bearer Securities issued in exchange
for a Global Security pursuant to this Section 2.15 to the Persons and in such
authorized denominations as the Depositary for such Global Security, pursuant to
instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall
instruct the Trustee; provided, however, that individual Bearer Securities shall
be delivered in exchange for a Global Security only in accordance with the
procedures set forth in Section 2.07 and as may be specified pursuant to Section
2.03.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, the exchange of Bearer Securities for
Registered Securities will be subject to the provisions of United States income
tax laws and regulations applicable to Debt Securities in effect at the time of
such exchange.

     SECTION 2.16.  Medium Term Securities.  Notwithstanding any contrary
                    ----------------------
provision herein, if all Debt Securities of a series are not to be originally
issued at one time, it shall not be necessary for the Company to deliver to the
Trustee an Officers' Certificate, resolutions of the Board of Directors,
supplemental indenture, Opinion of Counsel or Company Order or any other
document otherwise required pursuant to Section 2.01, 2.03, 2.05 or 12.05 at or
prior to the time of authentication of each Debt Security of such series if such
documents are delivered to the Trustee or its agent at or prior to the
authentication upon original issuance of the first such Debt Security of such

                                       25
<PAGE>

series to be issued; provided, that any subsequent request by the Company to the
Trustee to authenticate Debt Securities of such series upon original issuance
shall constitute a representation and warranty by the Company that, as of the
date of such request, the statements made in the Officers' Certificate delivered
pursuant to Section 2.05 and 12.05 shall be true and correct as if made on such
date and that the Opinion of Counsel delivered at or prior to such time of
authentication of an original issuance of Debt Securities shall specifically
state that it shall relate to all subsequent issuances of Debt Securities of
such series that are identical to the Debt Securities issued in the first
issuance of Debt Securities of such series.

     A Company Order delivered by the Company to the Trustee in the
circumstances set forth in the preceding paragraph may provide that Debt
Securities which are the subject thereof will be authenticated and delivered by
the Trustee or its agent on original issue from time to time upon the written
order delivered to the Trustee or its agent by Persons designated in such
Company Order and that such Persons are authorized to determine, consistent with
the Officers' Certificate, supplemental indenture or resolution of the Board of
Directors relating to such Company Order, such terms and conditions of such Debt
Securities as are specified in such Officers' Certificate, supplemental
indenture or such resolution.

     SECTION 2.17.  Defaulted Interest.  (a) Any interest on any Debt Security
                    ------------------
of a particular series which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly
provided for, on the dates and in the manner provided in the Debt Securities of
such series and in this Indenture (herein called "Defaulted Interest") shall, if
such Debt Security is a Registered Security, forthwith cease to be payable to
the Registered Holder thereof on the relevant record date by virtue of having
been such Registered Holder, and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the
Company, at its election in each case, as provided in clause (i) or (ii) below:

                    (i)  The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted
Interest to the Persons in whose names the Registered Securities of such series
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 such Registered 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 pre-paid,
to each Holder thereof at its address as it appears in

                                       26
<PAGE>

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 Registered Securities of such series are
registered at the close of business on such special record date. In case a
Coupon Security of any such series is surrendered in exchange for a Registered
Security of such series after the close of business (at an office or agency in a
Place of Payment for such series) on any special record date and before the
opening of business (at such office or agency) on the related proposed date of
payment of Defaulted Interest, such Coupon Security shall be surrendered without
the Coupon relating to such proposed date of payment and Defaulted Interest will
not be payable on such proposed date of payment in respect of the Registered
Security issued in exchange for such Coupon Security, but will be payable only
to the Holder of such Coupon when due in accordance with the provisions of this
Indenture.

                    (ii)  The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest
on the Registered Securities of such series in any other lawful manner not
inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the
Registered Securities of such series 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.

          (b)  Any Defaulted Interest payable in respect of Bearer Securities of
any series shall be payable pursuant to such procedures as may be satisfactory
to the Trustee in such manner that there is no discrimination between the
Holders of Registered Securities (if any) and Bearer Securities of such series,
and notice of the payment date therefor shall be given by the Trustee, in the
name and at the expense of the Company, in the manner provided in Section 13.03
not more than 25 days and not less than 20 days prior to the date of the
proposed payment.

     SECTION 2.18.  Judgments.  The Company may provide pursuant to Section 2.03
                    ---------
for Debt Securities of any series that (a) the obligation, if any, of the
Company to pay the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, the Debt
Securities of any series in a Foreign Currency or Dollars (the "Designated
Currency") as may be specified pursuant to Section 2.03 is of the essence and
agrees that, to the fullest extent possible under applicable law, judgments in
respect of Debt Securities of such series shall be given in the Designated
Currency; (b) the obligation of the Company to make payments in the Designated
Currency of the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, such Debt
Securities shall, notwithstanding any payment in any other Currency (whether
pursuant to a judgment or otherwise), be discharged only to the extent of the
amount in the Designated Currency that the Holder receiving such payment may, in
accordance with normal banking procedures, purchase with the sum paid in such
other Currency (after any premium and cost of exchange) on the business day in
the country of issue of the Designated Currency or in the international banking
community (in the case of a composite currency) immediately following the day on
which such Holder receives such payment; (c) if the amount in the Designated
Currency that may be so purchased for any reason falls short of the amount
originally due, the Company shall pay such additional

                                       27
<PAGE>

amounts as may be necessary to compensate for such shortfall; and (d) any
obligation of the Company not discharged by such payment shall be due as a
separate and independent obligation and, until discharged as provided herein,
shall continue in full force and effect.

                                  ARTICLE III
                         Redemption of Debt Securities

     SECTION 3.01.  Applicability of Article.  The provisions of this Article
                    ------------------------
shall be applicable to the Debt Securities of any series which are redeemable
before their Stated Maturity except as otherwise specified as contemplated by
Section 2.03 for Debt Securities of such series.

     SECTION 3.02.  Tax Redemption; Special Tax Redemption.  (a) Unless
                    --------------------------------------
otherwise specified pursuant to Section 2.03, Bearer Securities of any series
may be redeemed at the option of the Company in whole, but not in part, at any
time, on giving not less than 30 or more than 60 days' notice in accordance with
Section 3.03 (which notice shall be irrevocable), at the redemption price
thereof (calculated without premium), plus interest accrued to the redemption
date, if the Company has or will become obligated to pay additional interest on
such Bearer Securities pursuant to Section 4.06 as a result of any change in, or
amendment to, the laws (or any regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder) of
the United States or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or
therein, or any change in the application or official interpretation of such
laws, regulations or rulings, which change or amendment becomes effective on or
after the date on which any Person (including any Person acting as underwriter,
broker or dealer) agrees to purchase any of such Bearer Securities pursuant to
their original issuance, and such obligation cannot be avoided by the Company
taking reasonable measures available to it; provided, that no such notice of
redemption shall be given earlier than 90 days prior to the earliest date on
which the Company would be obligated to pay such additional interest were a
payment in respect of the Bearer Securities of that series then due. Prior to
the publication of any notice of redemption pursuant to this Section 3.02(a),
the Company shall deliver to the Trustee (i) an Officers' Certificate stating
that the Company is entitled to effect such redemption and setting forth a
statement of facts showing that the conditions precedent to the right of the
Company so to redeem have occurred and (ii) an Opinion of Counsel to the effect
that the Company has or will become obligated to pay such additional interest as
a result of such change or amendment.

          (b)  Unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 2.03, if the
Company shall determine that any payment made outside the United States by the
Company or any of its paying agents in respect of any Bearer Security or Coupon,
if any, that is not a Floating Rate Security (an "Affected Security") would,
under any present or future laws or regulations of the United States, be subject
to any certification, documentation, information or other reporting requirement
of any kind, the effect of which requirement is the disclosure to the Company,
any paying agent or any governmental authority of the nationality, residence or
identity of a beneficial owner of such Affected Security that is a United States
Alien (other than the certification requirements specified in Treas. Reg. 1.163-
5(c)(2)(i)(D)(3) and other than such a

                                       28
<PAGE>

requirement (i) that would not be applicable to a payment made by the Company or
any one of its paying agents (A) directly to the beneficial owner or (B) to a
custodian, nominee or other agent of the beneficial owner, or (ii) that can be
satisfied by such custodian, nominee or other agent certifying to the effect
that the beneficial owner is a United States Alien; provided, that, in any case
referred to in clause (i)(B) or (ii), payment by the custodian, nominee or agent
to the beneficial owner is not otherwise subject to any such requirement), then
the Company shall elect either (x) to redeem such Affected Securities in whole,
but not in part, at the redemption price thereof (calculated without premium),
plus interest accrued to the redemption date, or (y) if the conditions of the
next succeeding paragraph are satisfied, to pay the additional interest
specified in such paragraph. The Company shall make such determination as soon
as practicable and publish prompt notice thereof in accordance with Section
13.03 (the "Determination Notice"), stating the effective date of such
certification, documentation, information or other reporting requirement,
whether the Company elects to redeem the Affected Securities or to pay the
additional interest specified in the next succeeding paragraph and (if
applicable) the last date by which the redemption of the Affected Securities
must take place, as provided in the next succeeding sentence. If any Affected
Securities are to be redeemed pursuant to this paragraph, the redemption shall
take place on such date, not later than one year after the publication of the
Determination Notice, as the Company shall specify by notice given to the
Trustee at least 60 days before the redemption date. Notice of such redemption
shall be given to the Holders of the Affected Securities not more than 60 days
or less than 30 days prior to the redemption date in accordance with Section
3.03. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not so redeem the
Affected Securities if the Company shall subsequently determine, not less than
30 days prior to the redemption date, that subsequent payments on the Affected
Securities would not be subject to any such certification, documentation,
information or other reporting requirement, in which case the Company shall
publish prompt notice of such subsequent determination in accordance with
Section 13.03, and any earlier redemption notice given pursuant to this
paragraph shall be revoked and of no further effect. Prior to the publication of
any Determination Notice pursuant to this paragraph, the Company shall deliver
to the Trustee (i) an Officers' Certificate stating that the Company is entitled
to make such determination and setting forth a statement of facts showing that
the conditions precedent to the obligation of the Company to redeem the Affected
Securities or to pay the additional interest specified in the next succeeding
paragraph have occurred and (ii) an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such
conditions have occurred.

     If and so long as the certification, documentation, information or other
reporting requirement referred to in the preceding paragraph would be fully
satisfied by payment of a backup withholding tax or similar charge, the Company
may elect to pay as additional interest such amounts as may be necessary so that
every net payment made outside the United States following the effective date of
such requirement by the Company or any of its paying agents in respect of any
Affected Security of which the beneficial owner is a United States Alien (but
without any requirement that the nationality, residence or identity of such
beneficial owner be disclosed to the Company, any paying agent or any
governmental authority) (after deduction or withholding for or on account of
such backup withholding tax or similar charge that (i) would not be applicable
in the circumstances referred to in the parenthetical clause of the first
sentence of the preceding paragraph or

                                       29
<PAGE>

(ii) is imposed as a result of presentation of any such Affected Security for
payment more than 15 days after the date on which such payment became due and
payable or on which payment thereof was duly provided for, whichever occurred
later), will not be less than the amount provided in any such Affected Security
to be then due and payable. If the Company elects to pay additional interest
pursuant to this paragraph, the Company shall have the right to redeem the
Affected Securities at any time in whole, but not in part, at the redemption
price thereof (calculated without premium), plus interest accrued to the
redemption date, subject to the provisions of the last three sentences of the
immediately preceding paragraph. If the Company elects to pay additional
interest pursuant to this paragraph and the condition specified in the first
sentence of this paragraph should no longer be satisfied, then the Company shall
redeem the Affected Securities in whole, but not in part, at the redemption
price thereof (calculated without premium), plus interest accrued to the
redemption date, subject to the provisions of the last three sentences of the
immediately preceding paragraph. Any redemption payments made by the Company
pursuant to the two immediately preceding sentences shall be subject to the
continuing obligation of the Company to pay additional interest pursuant to this
paragraph. If the Company elects to, or is required to, redeem the Affected
Securities pursuant to this paragraph, it shall publish prompt notice thereof in
accordance with Section 13.03. If the Affected Securities are to be redeemed
pursuant to this paragraph, the redemption shall take place on such date, not
later than one year after publication of the notice of redemption, as the
Company shall specify by notice to the Trustee at least 60 days prior to the
redemption date.

     SECTION 3.03.  Notice of Redemption; Selection of Debt Securities.  In case
                    --------------------------------------------------
the Company shall desire to exercise the right to redeem all or, as the case may
be, any part of the Debt Securities of any series in accordance with their
terms, the Company shall notify the Trustee and deliver certain documents as set
forth in the third paragraph of this Section 3.03 and shall fix a date for
redemption and shall give notice of such redemption at least 30 and not more
than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption to the Holders of Debt
Securities of such series so to be redeemed as a whole or in part, in the manner
provided in Section 13.03. The notice if given 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 or any
defect in the notice to the Holder of any Debt Security of a series designated
for redemption as a whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the
proceedings for the redemption of any other Debt Security of such series.

     Each such notice of redemption shall specify the date fixed for redemption,
the redemption price at which Debt Securities of such series are to be redeemed,
the Place or Places of Payment that payment will be made upon presentation and
surrender of such Debt Securities, that any interest accrued to the date fixed
for redemption will be paid as specified in said notice, that the redemption is
for a sinking fund payment (if applicable), that, unless otherwise specified in
such notice, Coupon Securities of any series, if any, surrendered for redemption
must be accompanied by all Coupons maturing subsequent to the date fixed for
redemption, failing which the amount of any such missing Coupon or Coupons will
be deducted from the redemption price, if the Bearer Securities of any series
are to be redeemed and any Registered Securities of such series are not to be

                                       30
<PAGE>

redeemed, and if such Bearer Securities may be exchanged for Registered
Securities not subject to redemption on the applicable redemption date pursuant
to Section 2.15(c) or otherwise, the last date on which such exchanges may be
made, 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, on and after the redemption date any interest thereon or on the
portions thereof to be redeemed will cease to accrue, that in the case of
Original Issue Discount Securities, original issue discount accrued after the
date fixed for redemption will cease to accrue, and the terms of the Debt
Securities of that series pursuant to which the Debt Securities of that series
are being redeemed. If less than all the Debt Securities of a series are to be
redeemed the notice of redemption shall specify the CUSIP numbers of the Debt
Securities of that series to be redeemed. In case any Debt Security of a series
is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption shall state the portion
of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed and shall state that on and after
the date fixed for redemption, upon surrender of such Debt Security, a new Debt
Security or Debt Securities of that series in principal amount equal to the
unredeemed portion thereof, and with appropriate Coupons, will be issued.

     At least 60 days before the redemption date unless the Trustee consents to
a shorter period, the Company shall give notice to the Trustee of the redemption
date, the principal amount of Debt Securities to be redeemed and the series and
terms of the Debt Securities pursuant to which such redemption will occur. Such
notice shall be accompanied by an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of
Counsel from the Company to the effect that such redemption will comply with the
conditions herein. If fewer than all the Debt Securities of a series are to be
redeemed, the record date relating to such redemption shall be selected by the
Company and given to the Trustee, which record date shall be not less than 15
days after the date of notice to the Trustee.

     On or prior to the redemption date for any Registered Securities, 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) an
amount of money in the Currency in which such Debt Securities are denominated
(except as provided pursuant to Section 2.03) sufficient to pay the redemption
price, plus interest accrued to the redemption date, of such Registered
Securities or any portions thereof that are to be redeemed on that date. In the
case of any redemption pertaining to Bearer Securities or Coupon Securities, the
Company shall, no later than the business day prior to such redemption date,
deposit with the Trustee or with a paying agent (other than the Company) an
amount of money in the Currency in which such Debt Securities are denominated
(except as provided pursuant to Section 2.03) sufficient to pay the redemption
price, plus interest accrued to the redemption date, of such Bearer Securities
or Coupon Securities or any portion thereof that are to be redeemed on the
redemption date.

     If less than all the Debt Securities of like tenor and terms of a series
are to be redeemed (other than pursuant to mandatory sinking fund redemptions)
the Trustee shall select, in such manner as in its sole discretion it shall deem
appropriate and fair, the Debt Securities of that series or portions thereof (in
multiples of $1,000) to be redeemed. In any case where more than one Registered
Security of such series is registered in the same name, the Trustee in its
discretion may treat the aggregate principal amount so registered

                                       31
<PAGE>

as if it were represented by one Registered Security of such series. The Trustee
shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the Debt Securities selected for
redemption and, in the case of any Debt Securities selected for partial
redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. If any Debt Security
called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof on such
redemption date, the principal, premium, if any, and interest shall bear
interest until paid from the redemption date at the rate borne by the Debt
Securities of that series. If less than all the Debt Securities of unlike tenor
and terms of a series are to be redeemed, the particular Debt Securities to be
redeemed shall be selected by the Company. Provisions of this Indenture that
apply to Debt Securities called for redemption also apply to portions of Debt
Securities called for redemption.

     SECTION 3.04.  Payment of Debt Securities Called for Redemption.  If
                    ------------------------------------------------
notice of redemption has been given as provided in Section 3.03, the Debt
Securities or portions of Debt Securities of the series with respect to which
such notice has been given shall become due and payable on the date and at the
Place or Places of Payment stated in such notice at the applicable redemption
price, together with any interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption, and
on and after said date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of such
Debt Securities at the applicable redemption price, together with any interest
accrued to said date) any interest on the Debt Securities or portions of Debt
Securities of any series so called for redemption shall cease to accrue, any
original issue discount in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities shall
cease to accrue and any Coupons for such interest appertaining to any Coupon
Securities to be redeemed, except to the extent described below, shall be void.
On presentation and surrender of such Debt Securities at the Place or Places of
Payment in said notice specified, the said Debt Securities or the specified
portions thereof shall be paid and redeemed by the Company at the applicable
redemption price, together with any interest accrued thereon to the date fixed
for redemption (except for interest accrued in respect of any Debt Securities or
portions thereof called for redemption that have been delivered by the Company
to the Trustee for cancellation).

     If any Coupon Security surrendered for redemption shall not be accompanied
by all Coupons appertaining thereto maturing on or after the applicable
redemption date, the redemption price for such Coupon Security may be reduced by
an amount equal to the face amount of all such missing Coupons. If thereafter
the Holder of such Coupon shall surrender to any paying agent outside the United
States any such missing Coupon in respect of which a deduction shall have been
made from the redemption price, such Holder shall be entitled to receive the
amount so deducted. The surrender of such missing Coupon or Coupons may be
waived by the Company and the Trustee, if there be furnished to them such
security or indemnity as they may require to save each of them and any paying
agent harmless.

          Any Debt Security that is to be redeemed only in part shall be
surrendered at the corporate trust office of the Trustee or such other office or
agency of the Company as is specified pursuant to Section 2.03 (in the case of
Registered Securities) and at the principal London office of the Trustee or such
other office or agency of the Company outside the United States as is specified
pursuant to Section 2.03 (in the case of Bearer Securities) with, if the
Company, the Registrar or the Trustee so

                                       32
<PAGE>

requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Company, the Registrar and the Trustee duly executed by, the
Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and the Company shall
execute, and, upon receipt of a Company Order requesting authentication and
delivery, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Debt
Security without service charge, a new Debt Security or Debt Securities of the
same series, of like tenor and form, 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 Debt Security so surrendered, and, in
the case of a Coupon Security, with appropriate Coupons attached; except that if
a Global Security is so surrendered, the Company shall execute, and, upon
receipt of a Company Order requesting authentication and delivery, the Trustee
shall authenticate and deliver to the Depositary for such Global Security,
without service charge, a new Global Security in a denomination equal to and in
exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Global Security so
surrendered. In the case of a Debt Security providing appropriate space for such
notation, at the option of the Holder thereof, the Trustee, in lieu of
delivering a new Debt Security or Debt Securities as aforesaid, may make a
notation on such Debt Security of the payment of the redeemed portion thereof.

     SECTION 3.05.  Mandatory and Optional Sinking Funds.  The minimum amount of
                    ------------------------------------
any sinking fund payment provided for by the terms of Debt 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 Debt
Securities of any series is herein referred to as an "optional sinking fund
payment".

     In lieu of making all or any part of any mandatory sinking fund payment
with respect to any Debt Securities of a series in cash, the Company may at its
option (a) deliver to the Trustee Debt Securities of that series (together with
the unmatured Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto) theretofore purchased or
otherwise acquired by the Company or (b) receive credit for the principal amount
of Debt Securities of that series which have been redeemed either at the
election of the Company pursuant to the terms of such Debt Securities or through
the application of permitted optional sinking fund payments pursuant to the
terms of such Debt Securities; provided, that such Debt Securities have not been
previously so credited. Such Debt Securities shall be received and credited for
such purpose by the Trustee at the redemption price specified in such Debt
Securities for redemption through operation of the sinking fund and the amount
of such mandatory sinking fund payment shall be reduced accordingly.

     SECTION 3.06.  Redemption of Debt Securities for Sinking Fund.  Not less
                    ----------------------------------------------
than 60 days prior to each sinking fund payment date for any series
of Debt Securities, the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officers'
Certificate specifying the amount of the next ensuing sinking fund payment for
that series pursuant to the terms of that series, the portion thereof, if any,
which is to be satisfied by payment of cash in the Currency in which the Debt
Securities of such series are denominated (except as provided pursuant to
Section 2.03) and the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by
delivering and crediting Debt Securities of that series pursuant to this Section
3.06 (which Debt Securities, if not previously redeemed, will accompany such
certificate) and whether the Company intends to exercise its right to make any
permitted optional sinking fund

                                       33
<PAGE>

payment with respect to such series. Such certificate shall also state that no
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to such series.
Such certificate shall be irrevocable and upon its delivery the Company shall be
obligated to make the cash payment or payments therein referred to, if any, on
or before the next succeeding sinking fund payment date. Failure of the Company
to deliver such certificate (or to deliver the Debt Securities and Coupons, if
any, specified in this paragraph) shall not constitute a Default, but such
failure shall require that the sinking fund payment due on the next succeeding
sinking fund payment date for that series shall be paid entirely in cash and
shall be sufficient to redeem the principal amount of such Debt Securities
subject to a mandatory sinking fund payment without the option to deliver or
credit Debt Securities as provided in this Section 3.06 and without the right to
make any optional sinking fund payment, if any, with respect to such series.

     Any sinking fund payment or payments (mandatory or optional) made in cash
plus any unused balance of any preceding sinking fund payments made in cash
which shall equal or exceed $100,000 (or a lesser sum if the Company shall so
request) with respect to the Debt Securities of any particular series shall be
applied by the Trustee on the sinking fund payment date on which such payment is
made (or, if such payment is made before a sinking fund payment date, on the
sinking fund payment date following the date of such payment) to the redemption
of such Debt Securities at the redemption price specified by the terms of such
Debt Securities for operation of the sinking fund together with any accrued
interest to the date fixed for redemption. Any sinking fund moneys not so
applied or allocated by the Trustee to the redemption of Debt Securities shall
be added to the next cash sinking fund payment received by the Trustee for such
series and, together with such payment, shall be applied in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 3.06. Any and all sinking fund moneys with respect to
the Debt Securities of any particular series held by the Trustee on the last
sinking fund payment date with respect to Debt Securities of such series and not
held for the payment or redemption of particular Debt Securities shall be
applied by the Trustee, together with other moneys, if necessary, to be
deposited sufficient for the purpose, to the payment of the principal of the
Debt Securities of that series at its Stated Maturity.

     The Trustee shall select the Debt Securities to be redeemed upon such
sinking fund payment date in the manner specified in the last paragraph of
Section 3.03 and the Company shall cause notice of the redemption thereof to be
given in the manner provided in Section 3.03 except that the notice of
redemption shall also state that the Debt Securities are being redeemed by
operation of the sinking fund. Such notice having been duly given, the
redemption of such Debt Securities shall be made upon the terms and in the
manner stated in Section 3.04.

     At least one business day before each sinking fund payment date, the
Company shall pay to the Trustee (or, if the Company is acting as its own paying
agent, the Company shall segregate and hold in trust) in cash a sum in the
Currency in which the Debt Securities of such series are denominated (except as
provided pursuant to Section 2.03) equal to any interest accrued to the date
fixed for redemption of Debt Securities or portions thereof to be redeemed on
such sinking fund payment date pursuant to this Section 3.06.

                                       34
<PAGE>

     The Trustee shall not redeem any Debt Securities of a series with sinking
fund moneys or mail any notice of redemption of such Debt Securities by
operation of the sinking fund for such series during the continuance of a
Default in payment of interest on such Debt Securities or of any Event of
Default (other than an Event of Default occurring as a consequence of this
paragraph) with respect to such Debt Securities, except that if the notice of
redemption of any such Debt Securities shall theretofore have been mailed in
accordance with the provisions hereof, the Trustee shall redeem such Debt
Securities if cash sufficient for that purpose shall be deposited with the
Trustee for that purpose in accordance with the terms of this Article III.
Except as aforesaid, any moneys in the sinking fund for such series at the time
when any such Default or Event of Default shall occur and any moneys thereafter
paid into such sinking fund shall, during the continuance of such Default or
Event of Default, be held as security for the payment of such Debt Securities;
provided, however, that in case such Event of Default or Default shall have been
cured or waived as provided herein, such moneys shall thereafter be applied on
the next sinking fund payment date for such Debt Securities on which such moneys
may be applied pursuant to the provisions of this Section 3.06.

                                  ARTICLE IV
                           Covenants of the Company

     SECTION 4.01.  Payment of Principal of, and Premium, If Any, and Interest
                    ----------------------------------------------------------
on, Debt Securities.  The Company, for the benefit of each series of Debt
-------------------
Securities, will duly and punctually pay or cause to be paid the principal of,
and premium, if any, and interest on, each of the Debt Securities and pay any
Coupons at the Place of Payment, at the respective times and in the manner
provided herein, in the Debt Securities and in the Coupons. Each installment of
interest on the Registered Securities may, at the Company's option, be paid by
mailing checks for such interest payable to the Person entitled thereto pursuant
to Section 2.07(a) to the address of such Person as it appears on the Debt
Security Register, or if provided by the terms of the Registered Securities
pursuant to Section 2.03 and in accordance with arrangements satisfactory to the
Trustee, at the option of the Registered Holder by wire transfer to an account
designated by the Registered Holder. Any interest due on Coupon Securities on or
before the Stated Maturity of the related Debt Security, other than additional
interest, if any, payable as provided in Section 4.06 in respect of principal
of, or premium, if any, on such a Debt Security, shall be payable only upon
presentation and surrender of the several Coupons for such interest installments
as are evidenced thereby as they severally mature. Payments of principal of or
premium, if any, on any Debt Security shall be payable only upon presentation
and surrender of the Debt Security.

     Principal, premium and interest of Debt Securities of any series shall be
considered paid on the date due if on such date the Trustee or any paying agent
holds in accordance with this Indenture money sufficient to pay in the Currency
in which the Debt Securities of such series are denominated with respect to
Bearer Securities or in Dollars with respect to Registered Securities (in each
case, except as otherwise provided pursuant to Section 2.03) all principal,
premium and interest then due.

                                       35

     The Company shall pay interest on overdue principal at the rate specified
therefor in the Debt Securities and it shall pay interest on overdue
installments of interest at the same rate to the extent lawful.

     SECTION 4.02.  Maintenance of Offices or Agencies for Registration of
                    ------------------------------------------------------
Transfer, Exchange and Payment of Debt Securities.  The Company will maintain in
-------------------------------------------------
each Place of Payment for any series of Debt Securities and Coupons, if any, an
office or agency where Debt Securities and Coupons of such series (but, except
as otherwise provided in Section 2.12, unless such Place of Payment is located
outside the United States, not Bearer Securities or Coupons) may be presented or
surrendered for payment, where Debt Securities of such series may be surrendered
for transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in
respect of the Debt Securities and Coupons of such series and this Indenture may
be served. So long as any Bearer Securities of any series remain outstanding,
the Company will maintain for such purposes one or more offices or agencies
outside the United States in such city or cities specified pursuant to Section
2.03 and, if any Bearer Securities are listed on a securities exchange that
requires an office or agency for the payment of principal of, and premium, if
any, or interest on, such Bearer Securities in a location other than the
location of an office or agency specified pursuant to Section 2.03, the Company
will maintain for such purposes an office or agency in such location so long as
any Bearer Securities are listed on such securities exchange and such exchange
so requires. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the
location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any
time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or
shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations,
surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the corporate trust
office of the Trustee (in the case of Registered Securities) and at the
principal London office of the Trustee (in the case of Bearer Securities), and
the Company hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive all
presentations, surrenders, notices and demands.

     The Company may also from time to time designate different or additional
offices or agencies to be maintained for such purposes (in or outside of such
Place of Payment), and may from time to time rescind any such designation;
provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner
relieve the Company of its obligations described in the preceding paragraph.
The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such
additional designation or rescission of designation and any change in the
location of any such different or additional office or agency.

     SECTION 4.03.  Appointment to Fill a Vacancy in the Office of Trustee. The
                    ------------------------------------------------------
Company, whenever necessary to avoid or fill a vacancy in the office of Trustee,
will appoint, in the manner provided in Section 7.10, a Trustee, so that there
shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder with respect to each series of Debt
Securities.

     SECTION 4.04.  Duties of Paying Agents, etc.  (a) The Company shall cause
                    ----------------------------
each paying agent, if any, other than the Trustee, 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 4.04,

                                       36
<PAGE>

                    (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 on, the
Debt Securities of any series and the payment of any related Coupons (whether
such sums have been paid to it by the Company or by any other obligor on the
Debt Securities or Coupons of such series) in trust for the benefit of the
Holders of the Debt Securities and Coupons of such series;

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

                    (iii) that it will at any time during the continuance of an
Event of Default, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the
Trustee all sums so held by it as such agent.

          (b)  If the Company shall act as its own paying agent, it will, on or
before each due date of the principal of, and premium, if any, or interest on,
the Debt Securities and Coupons, if any, of any series, set aside, segregate and
hold in trust for the benefit of the Holders of the Debt Securities and Coupons
of such series a sum sufficient to pay such principal, premium, if any, or
interest so becoming due. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee of any
failure by the Company to take such action or the failure by any other obligor
on such Debt Securities or Coupons to make any payment of the principal of, and
premium, if any, or interest on, such Debt Securities or Coupons when the same
shall be due and payable.

          (c)  Anything in this Section 4.04 to the contrary notwithstanding,
the Company may, at any time, for the purpose of obtaining a satisfaction and
discharge of this Indenture, or for any other reason, pay or cause to be paid to
the Trustee all sums held in trust by it or any paying agent, as required by
this Section 4.04, 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.

          (d)  Whenever the Company shall have one or more paying agents with
respect to any series of Debt Securities and Coupons, it will, prior to each due
date of the principal of, and premium, if any, or interest on, any Debt
Securities of such series, deposit with any such paying agent a sum sufficient
to pay the principal, premium or interest so becoming due, such sum to be held
in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto, and (unless any such
paying agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of its
action or failure so to act.

          (e)  Anything in this Section 4.04 to the contrary notwithstanding,
the agreement to hold sums in trust as provided in this Section 4.04 is subject
to the provisions of Section 11.05.

                                       37

          (f)  The Company initially appoints the Trustee as the paying agent
hereunder.

     SECTION 4.05.  Statement by Officers as to Default.  The Company will
                    -----------------------------------
deliver to the Trustee, on or before a date not more than four months after the
end of each fiscal year of the Company (currently on a calendar year basis)
ending after the date hereof, an Officers' Certificate stating, as to each
officer signing such certificate, that (i) in the course of his performance of
his duties as an officer of the Company he would normally have knowledge of any
Default, (ii) whether or not to the best of his knowledge any Default occurred
during such year and (iii) if to the best of his knowledge the Company is in
Default, specifying all such Defaults and what action the Company is taking or
proposes to take with respect thereto. The Company also shall comply with
Section 314(a)(4) of the Trust Indenture Act.

     SECTION 4.06.  Payment of Additional Interest.  Unless otherwise provided
                    ------------------------------
pursuant to Section 2.03, the provisions of this Section 4.06 shall be
applicable to Bearer Securities of any series.

     The Company will, subject to the exceptions and limitations set forth
below, pay as additional interest to the Holder of any Bearer Security or Coupon
that is a United States Alien such amounts as may be necessary so that every net
payment on such Bearer Security or Coupon, after deduction or withholding for or
on account of any present or future tax, assessment or other governmental charge
by the United States (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof
or therein) imposed upon or as a result of such payment, will not be less than
the amount provided in such Bearer Security or Coupon to be then due and
payable.  However, the Company will not be required to make any such payment of
additional interest for or on account of:

          (a)  any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not
have been imposed but for (i) the existence of any present or former connection
between such Holder (or between a fiduciary, settlor or beneficiary of, or a
Person holding a power over, such Holder, if such Holder is an estate or a
trust, or a member or shareholder of such Holder, if such Holder is a
partnership or corporation) and the United States, including such Holder (or
such fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, Person holding a power, member or
shareholder) being or having been a citizen or resident thereof or being or
having been engaged in trade or business or present therein or having or having
had a permanent establishment therein or (ii) such Holder's past or present
status as a personal holding company, foreign personal holding company or
private foundation or other tax-exempt organization with respect to the United
States or as a corporation that accumulates earnings to avoid United States
Federal income tax;

          (b)  any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer or personal
property tax or any similar tax, assessment or other governmental charge;

          (c)  any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not
have been imposed but for the presentation by the Holder of a Bearer Security or
Coupon

                                       38
<PAGE>

for payment more than 15 days after the date on which such payment became due
and payable or on which payment thereof was duly provided for, whichever occurs
later;

          (d)  any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is payable
otherwise than by deduction or withholding from a payment on a Bearer Security
or Coupon;

          (e)  any tax, assessment or other governmental charge which is
required to be deducted or withheld from a payment on a Bearer Security or
Coupon because such payment is made by or through a U.S. middleman (as defined
in Proposed Treasury Regulation Section 1.6049-5(d)(1)) that, as a custodian or
nominee of the Holder, collects the payment for, or on behalf of, the Holder;

          (f)  any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not
have been imposed but for a failure to comply with applicable certification,
documentation, information or other reporting requirement concerning the
nationality, residence, identity or connection with the United States of the
Holder or beneficial owner of a Bearer Security or Coupon if, without regard to
any tax treaty, such compliance is required by statute or regulation of the
United States as a precondition to relief or exemption from such tax, assessment
or other governmental charge;

          (g)  any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed on a
Holder that actually or constructively owns ten percent or more of the combined
voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or that is a controlled
foreign corporation related to the Company through stock ownership; or

          (h)  any tax, assessment, or other governmental charge imposed on a
Holder that is a foreign bank pursuant to a determination that amounts paid or
accrued with respect to a Bearer Security or Coupon constitute interest received
by the bank on an extension of credit made pursuant to a loan agreement entered
into in the ordinary course of the bank's trade or business (within the meaning
of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code);

nor shall additional interest be paid with respect to a payment on a Bearer
Security or Coupon to a Holder that is a fiduciary or partnership or other than
the sole beneficial owner of such payment to the extent a beneficiary or settlor
with respect to such fiduciary or a member of such partnership or a beneficial
owner would not have been entitled to the additional interest had such
beneficiary, settlor, member or beneficial owner been the Holder of such Bearer
Security or Coupon.

     Whenever in this Indenture there is mentioned, in any context, the payment
of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, any Debt Security or
payment with respect to any Coupon of any series, such mention shall be deemed
to include mention of the payment of additional interest provided for in the
terms of such Debt Securities and this Section 4.06 to the extent that, in such
context, additional interest is, was or would be payable in respect thereof
pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4.06 and express mention of the
payment of additional interest (if applicable) in any provisions hereof

                                       39
<PAGE>

shall not be construed as excluding additional interest in those provisions
hereof where such express mention is not made.

     If the payment of additional interest becomes required in respect of the
Debt Securities of a series, at least ten days prior to the first interest
payment date with respect to which such additional interest will be payable (or
if the Debt Securities of that series will not bear interest prior to its Stated
Maturity, the first day on which a payment of principal, and premium, if any, is
made and on which such additional interest will be payable), and at least ten
days prior to each date of payment of principal, and premium, if any, or
interest if there has been any change with respect to the matters set forth in
the below-mentioned Officers' Certificate, the Company will furnish the Trustee
and each paying agent with an Officers' Certificate that shall specify by
country the amount, if any, required to be withheld on such payments to Holders
of Debt Securities or Coupons that are United States Aliens, and the Company
will pay to the Trustee or such paying agent the additional interest, if any,
required by the terms of such Debt Securities and this Section 4.06. The Company
covenants to indemnify the Trustee and any paying agent for, and to hold them
harmless against, any loss, liability or expense reasonably incurred without
negligence or bad faith on their part arising out of or in connection with
actions taken or omitted by any of them in reliance on any Officers' Certificate
furnished pursuant to this Section 4.06.

     SECTION 4.07.  Limitation on Liens.  The Company will not itself, and
                    -------------------
will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, incur, issue, assume or guarantee
any notes, bonds, debentures or other similar evidences of indebtedness for
money borrowed (notes, bonds, debentures or other similar evidences of
indebtedness for money borrowed being hereinafter called "Debt") secured by
pledge of, or mortgage or other lien on, any Real Property of the Company or any
Restricted Subsidiary, or any shares of stock or Debt of any Restricted
Subsidiary (pledges, mortgages and other liens being hereinafter called
"Mortgage" or "Mortgages"), without effectively providing that the Debt
Securities (together with, if the Company shall so determine, any other Debt of
the Company or that Restricted Subsidiary then existing or thereafter created
that is not subordinate to such Securities) shall be secured equally and ratably
with (or prior to) such secured Debt (for the purpose of providing such equal
and ratable security the principal amount of such Debt Securities shall mean and
shall not be less than that principal amount which could be declared to be due
and payable pursuant to Section 6.01 on the date of the making of such effective
provision and the extent of such equal and ratable security shall be adjusted,
to the extent permitted by law, as and when that principal amount changes over
time pursuant to Section 6.01 and any other provision hereof), so long as such
secured Debt shall be so secured, unless, after giving effect thereto, the
aggregate amount of all such secured Debt plus all Attributable Debt of the
Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in respect of Sale and Leaseback
Transactions (other than such Sale and Leaseback Transactions the proceeds of
which are applied to reduce indebtedness under clause (2) of Section 4.08) would
not exceed 10% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets; provided, however, that this
Section shall not apply to, and there shall be excluded from secured Debt in any
computation under this Section, Debt secured by:

          (1)  Mortgages existing as of the date of this Indenture;

                                       40
<PAGE>

          (2)  Mortgages on property of, or on any shares of stock (or other
interest in) or Debt of, any corporation, association, partnership or other
entity existing at the time such entity becomes a Restricted Subsidiary or an
obligor under this Indenture;

          (3)  Mortgages in favor of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary by
a Restricted Subsidiary;

          (4)  Mortgages (including the assignment of moneys due or to become
due thereon) in favor of the United States of America or any state thereof, or
any agency, department or other instrumentality thereof, to secure progress,
advance or other payments pursuant to any contract or provision of any statute;

          (5)  Mortgages on property, shares of stock or Debt existing at the
time of acquisition thereof (including acquisition through merger or
consolidation) or to secure the payment of all or any part of the purchase
price, construction cost, or development cost thereof or to secure any Debt
incurred prior to, at the time of, or within 360 days after, the acquisition of
such property or shares or Debt or the completion of any such construction or
development for the purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase price
or construction cost or development cost thereof; and

          (6)  any extension, renewal or refinancing (or successive extensions,
renewals or refinancings), as a whole or in part, of any Mortgage referred to in
the foregoing clauses (1) to (5), inclusive; provided, however, that (i) such
extension, renewal or refinancing Mortgage shall be limited to all or a part of
the same property, shares of stock or Debt that secured the Mortgage extended,
renewed or refinanced (plus improvements on such property) and (ii) the
principal amount of Debt secured by such Mortgage at such time is not increased
in an amount exceeding 105% thereof.

     SECTION 4.08.  Limitation on Sales and Leasebacks.  The Company will not
                    ----------------------------------
itself, and it will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, enter into any
arrangement with any bank, insurance company or other lender or investor (not
including the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary) or to which any such lender
or investor is a party, providing for the leasing by the Company or any such
Restricted Subsidiary for a period, including renewals, in excess of three years
of any Real Property that has been or is to be sold or transferred, more than
360 days after the completion of construction and commencement of full operation
thereof, by the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary to such lender or
investor or to any Person to whom funds have been or are to be advanced by such
lender or investor on the security of such Real Property (herein referred to as
a "Sale and Leaseback Transaction") unless either:

          (1)  the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary could create Debt
secured by a Mortgage pursuant to Section 4.07 on the Real Property to be leased
back in an amount equal to the Attributable Debt with respect to such Sale and
Leaseback Transaction without equally and ratably securing the Securities, or

          (2)  the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary within 120 days after
the sale or transfer shall have been made by the Company or by any such
Restricted

                                       41
<PAGE>

Subsidiary, applies an amount equal to the net proceeds of the sale of the Real
Property sold and leased back pursuant to such arrangement to the retirement of
Debt Securities or Funded Debt of the Company or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries.

     SECTION 4.09.  Waiver of Certain Covenants.  The Company may omit in any
                    ---------------------------
particular instance to comply with any term, provision or condition set forth in
Sections 4.07 and 4.08 with respect to the Debt Securities of any series if
before or after the time for such compliance the Holders of at least a majority
in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of such series
shall either waive such compliance in such instance or generally waive
compliance with such term, provision or condition, but no such waiver shall
extend to or affect such term, provision or condition except to the extent so
expressly waived, and, until such waiver shall become effective, the obligations
of the Company in respect of any such term, provision or condition shall remain
in full force and effect.

     SECTION 4.10.  Existence.  Other than in connection with a transaction
                    ---------
permitted pursuant to Article X, the Company will do or cause to be done all
things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence,
rights (charter and statutory) and franchises; provided, however, that the
Company shall not be required to preserve any such right or franchise if an
officer of the Company shall determine that the preservation thereof is no
longer desirable in the conduct of the Company's business.

     SECTION 4.11.  Further Instruments and Acts.  The Company will, upon
                    ----------------------------
request of the Trustee, execute and deliver such further instruments and do such
further acts as may reasonably be necessary or proper to carry out more
effectually the purposes of this Indenture.

payment of interest, if any, a list, in such form as the Trustee may reasonably
require, of the names and addresses of the Registered Holders as of such record
date, 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 contents as of a date not more than 15 days prior to the time such list
is furnished;

provided, however, that so long as the Trustee shall be the Registrar, such
lists shall not be required to be furnished.

     The Company shall also be required to furnish to the Trustee at all such
times set forth above all information in the possession or control of the
Company or any of its

                                       42
<PAGE>

paying agents other than the Trustee as to the names and addresses of the Bearer
Holders of all series; provided, however, that the Company shall have no
obligation to investigate any matter relating to any Bearer Holders.

     The Trustee shall preserve, in as current a form as is reasonably
practicable, all information as to the names and addresses of the Holders (1)
contained in the most recent list furnished to it as provided in this Section
5.01 or (2) received by it in the capacity of paying agent or Registrar (if so

rules and regulations prescribe) which the Company or such obligor, as the case
may be, may be required to file with said Commission pursuant to Section 13 or
Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act; or, if the Company or such obligor, as the
case may be, is not required to file information, documents or reports pursuant
to either of such Sections, then to file with the Trustee, the Holders (in the
manner and to the extent provided in Section 5.04) and said Commission, in
accordance with rules and regulations prescribed from time to time by said
Commission, such of the supplementary and periodic information, documents and
reports which may be required pursuant to Section 13 of the Exchange Act in
respect of a security listed and registered on a national securities exchange as

     SECTION 5.04.  Reports by Trustee.  As promptly as practicable after each
                    ------------------
January 1 beginning with the January 1 following the date of this Indenture, and
in any

                                       43
<PAGE>

event prior to March 1 in each year, the Trustee shall mail to each Holder a
brief report dated as of December 31 of the prior year if and to the extent
required by Section 313(a) of the Trust Indenture Act. The Trustee also shall
comply with Section 313(b) of the Trust Indenture Act.

     Reports pursuant to this Section 5.04 shall be transmitted by mail:

          (1)  to all Registered Holders, as the names and addresses of such
Holders appear in the Debt Security Register;

          (2)  to such Bearer Holders of any series as have, within two years
preceding such transmission, filed their names and addresses with the Trustee
for such series for that purpose; and

          (3)  except in the cases of reports under Section 313(b)(2) of the
Trust Indenture Act, to each Holder of a Debt Security of any series whose name

solicit from the Holders of Debt Securities of any series any action (including
the making of any demand or request, the giving of any direction, notice,
consent or waiver or the taking of any other action), the Company may, at its
option, by resolution of the Board of Directors, fix in advance a record date
for the determination of Holders of Debt Securities entitled to take such
action, but the Company shall have no obligation to do so. Any such record date
shall be fixed at the Company's discretion. If such a record date is fixed, such
action may be sought or given before or after the record date, but only the
Holders of Debt Securities of record at the close of business on such record
date shall be deemed to be Holders of Debt Securities for the purpose of
determining whether Holders of the requisite proportion of Debt Securities of
such series Outstanding have authorized or agreed or consented to such action,
and for that purpose the Debt Securities of such series Outstanding shall be
computed as of such record date.

a period of 30 days; or

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 Debt Securities other than that series), and continuance of such default or
breach for a period of 90 days after the date on which written notice specifying
such failure, stating that such notice is a "notice of default" hereunder, and
requiring the Company to remedy the same shall have been given, by registered or
certified mail, to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee
by the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Debt
Securities of that series at the time Outstanding; or

          (e)  if an event of default as defined in any mortgage, indenture,
bonds, debentures, notes or instrument under which there may be issued, or by

created, shall happen and shall result in more than $50,000,000 (or its
equivalent in any other currency) in principal amount of such indebtedness
becoming or being declared due and payable before the date on which it would
otherwise become due and payable, and that acceleration shall not be rescinded
or annulled, or that indebtedness shall not have been discharged, within a
period of 10 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 Debt Securities of that series at the
time outstanding a written notice specifying the event of default and requiring
the Company to cause the acceleration to be rescinded or annulled or to cause
that indebtedness to be discharged and stating that such notice is a "notice of
default" hereunder; or

          (f)  the Company shall (i) voluntarily commence any proceeding or file
any petition seeking relief under Title 11 of the United States Code or any

the institution of, or fail to controvert within the time and in the manner

its property, (iv) file an answer admitting the material allegations of a
petition filed against it in any such proceeding, (v) make a general assignment
for the benefit of creditors, (vi) admit in writing its inability or fail

become due, (vii) take corporate action for the purpose of effecting any of the
foregoing, or (viii) take any comparable action under any foreign laws relating
to insolvency; or

          (g)  the entry of an order or decree by a court having competent

appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or similar official
for the Company or for a substantial part of any of its property or (iii) the
winding-up or liquidation of the Company, and such order or decree shall
continue unstayed and in effect for 60 consecutive days; or any similar relief
is granted under any foreign laws and the order or decree stays in effect for 60
consecutive days; or

          (h)  any other Event of Default provided with respect to Debt
Securities of that series;

then and in each and every case that an Event of Default described in clause
(a), (b), (c), (d), (e) or (h) with respect to Debt Securities of that series at
the time Outstanding occurs and is continuing, unless the principal of and
interest on all the Debt Securities of that series shall have already become due
and payable, either the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate
principal amount of the Debt Securities of that series then Outstanding
hereunder, by notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by
Holders), may declare the principal of (or, if the Debt Securities of that
series are Original Issue Discount Debt Securities, such portion of the
principal amount as may be specified in the terms of that series) and interest
on all the Debt Securities of that series to be due and payable immediately, and
upon any such declaration the same shall become and shall be immediately due and
payable, anything in this Indenture or in the Debt Securities or Coupons
appertaining thereto of that series contained to the contrary notwithstanding.
If an Event of Default described in clause (f) or (g) occurs, then and in each
and every such case, unless the principal of and interest on all the Debt
Securities shall have become due and payable, the principal of (or, if any Debt
Securities are Original Issue Discount Debt Securities, such portion of the
principal amount as may be specified in the terms thereto) and interest on all
the Debt Securities then Outstanding hereunder shall ipso facto become and be
immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of
the Trustee or any Holders, anything in this Indenture or in the Debt Securities
contained to the contrary notwithstanding.

     In case the Trustee or any Holder shall have proceeded to enforce any right
under this Indenture and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or
abandoned because of such rescission or annulment or for any other reason or
shall have been determined adversely to the Trustee or such Holder, then and in
every such case the parties hereto shall be restored respectively to their
several positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and powers of
the parties hereto shall continue as though no such proceeding had been taken.

     The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Debt Securities of a
particular series by notice to the Trustee may rescind an acceleration and its

                                       46
<PAGE>

consequences if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree
already rendered 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
acceleration.  Upon any such rescission, the parties hereto shall be restored
respectively to their several positions and rights hereunder, and all rights,
remedies and powers of the parties hereto shall continue as though no such
proceeding had been taken.

     The foregoing Events of Default shall constitute Events of Default whatever
the reason for any such Event of Default and whether it is voluntary or
involuntary or is effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment,
decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any
administrative or governmental body.

     The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 30 days after the
occurrence thereof, written notice in the form of an Officers' Certificate of
any event which with the giving of notice and the lapse of time would become an
Event of Default under clause (d), (e) or (h) indicating its status and what
action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

     SECTION 6.02.  Collection of Indebtedness by Trustee, etc.  If an Event of
                    ------------------------------------------
Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of
an express trust, shall be entitled and empowered to institute any action or
proceedings at law or in equity for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid
or enforce the performance of any provision of the Debt Securities of the
affected series or this Indenture, and may prosecute any such action or
proceedings to judgment or final decree, and may enforce any such judgment or
final decree against the Company or any other obligor upon the Debt Securities,
and the Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto, of such series (and collect in
the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or any other
obligor wherever situated upon the Debt Securities and Coupons of such series)
the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable.

     In case there shall be pending proceedings for the bankruptcy or for the
reorganization of the Company or any other obligor upon the Debt Securities and
Coupons, if any, of any series under Title 11 of the United States Code or any
other Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, or in case a
receiver, trustee or other similar official shall have been appointed for its
property, or in case of any other similar judicial proceedings relative to the
Company or any other obligor upon the Debt Securities of any series, its
creditors or its property, the Trustee, irrespective of whether the principal of
Debt Securities and Coupons, if any, of any series 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 pursuant to the provisions of this
Section 6.02, shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such
proceedings or otherwise, to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole
amount of principal, premium, if any, and interest (or, if the Debt Securities
of such series are Original Issue Discount Debt Securities, such portion of the
principal amount as may be specified in the terms of such series) owing and
unpaid in respect of the Debt Securities and Coupons of such series, 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 reasonable compensation to
the

                                       47
<PAGE>

Trustee, its agents, attorneys and counsel, and for reimbursement of all
expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee except
as a result of its negligence or bad faith) and of the Holders thereof allowed
in any such judicial proceedings relative to the Company, or any other obligor
upon the Debt Securities and Coupons of such series, its creditors or its
property, and to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or
deliverable on any such claims, and to distribute all amounts received with
respect to the claims of such Holders and of the Trustee on their behalf, and
any receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization is hereby
authorized by each of such Holders to make payments to the Trustee, and, in the
event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of payments directly to such
Holders, to pay to the Trustee such amount as shall be sufficient to cover
reasonable compensation to the Trustee, its agents, attorneys and counsel, and
all other reasonable expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made,
by the Trustee except as a result of its negligence or bad faith.

     All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture, or under
any of the Debt Securities and the Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto, of any
series, may be enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any such Debt
Securities or Coupons, or the production thereof in any trial or other
proceedings relative thereto, and any such action or proceedings instituted by
the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and
any recovery of judgment (except for any amounts payable to the Trustee pursuant
to Section 7.06) shall be for the ratable benefit of the  Holders of all the
Debt Securities or Coupons in respect of which such action was taken.

     In case of an Event of Default hereunder the Trustee may in its discretion
proceed to protect and enforce the rights vested in it by this Indenture by such
appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to
protect and enforce any of such rights, either at law or in equity or in
bankruptcy or otherwise, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or
agreement contained in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power
granted in this Indenture, or to enforce any other legal or equitable right
vested in the Trustee by this Indenture or by law.

     SECTION 6.03.  Application of Moneys Collected by Trustee.  Any moneys
                    ------------------------------------------
collected by the Trustee pursuant to Section 6.02 with respect to Debt
Securities and Coupons, if any, of any series shall be applied in the order
following, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee for the distribution of
such moneys, upon presentation of the several Debt Securities or Coupons of such
series in respect of which moneys have been collected, and the notation thereon
of the payment, if only partially paid, and upon surrender thereof if fully
paid:

     FIRST:  To the payment of all money due the Trustee pursuant to Section
7.06;

     SECOND:  In case the principal of the Outstanding Debt Securities in
respect of which such moneys have been collected shall not have become due, to
the payment of interest on the Debt Securities or Coupons of such series in the
order of the maturity of the installments of such interest, with interest (to
the extent that such interest has been collected by the Trustee) upon the
overdue installments of interest at the rate or Yield to

                                       48
<PAGE>

Maturity (in the case of Original Issue Discount Debt Securities) borne by the
Debt Securities or Coupons of such series, such payments to be made ratably to
the Persons entitled thereto, without discrimination or preference;

     THIRD:  In case the principal of the Outstanding Debt Securities in respect
of which such moneys have been collected shall have become due, by declaration
or otherwise, to the payment of the whole amount then owing and unpaid upon the
Debt Securities or Coupons of such series for principal and premium, if any, and
interest, with interest on the overdue principal and premium, if any, and (to
the extent that such interest has been collected by the Trustee) upon overdue
installments of interest at the rate or Yield to Maturity (in the case of
Original Issue Discount Debt Securities) borne by the Debt Securities or Coupons
of such series; and, in case such moneys shall be insufficient to pay in full
the whole amount so due and unpaid upon the Debt Securities and Coupons of such
series, then to the payment of such principal and premium, if any, and interest,
without preference or priority of principal and premium, if any, over interest,
or of interest over principal and premium, if any, or of any installment of
interest over any other installment of interest, or of any Debt Security or
Coupon of such series over any Debt Security or Coupon of such series, ratably
to the aggregate of such principal and premium, if any, and interest; and

     FOURTH:  The remainder, if any, shall be paid to the Company, its
successors or assigns, or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the
same, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.

     The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to
Holders pursuant to this Section 6.03.  At least 15 days before such record
date, the Company shall mail to each Holder and the Trustee a notice that states
the record date, the payment date and amount to be paid.

     SECTION 6.04.  Limitation on Suits by Holders.  No Holder of any Debt
                    ------------------------------
Security or Coupon of any series shall have any right by virtue or by availing
of any provision of this Indenture to institute any action or proceeding at law
or in equity or in bankruptcy or otherwise, upon or under or with respect to
this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any
other remedy hereunder, unless such Holder previously shall have given to the
Trustee written notice of an Event of Default with respect to Debt Securities of
that same series and of the continuance thereof and unless the Holders of not
less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities
of that series shall have made written request upon the Trustee to institute
such action or proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name
as Trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee such reasonable
indemnity as it may require against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be
incurred therein or thereby, and the Trustee, for 60 days after its receipt of
such notice, request and offer of indemnity shall have failed to institute any
such action or proceedings and no direction inconsistent with such written
request shall have been given to the Trustee pursuant to Section 6.06; it being
understood and intended, and being expressly covenanted by the Holder of every
Debt Security or Coupon with every other Holder and the Trustee, that no one or
more Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue or by
availing of any

                                       49
<PAGE>

provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any
Holders, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other
such Holder, or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner
herein provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all such
Holders. For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of this Section
6.04, each and every Holder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as
can be given either at law or in equity.

     Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, however, the right
of any Holder of any Debt Security or Coupon to receive payment of the principal
of, and premium, if any, and (subject to Section 2.12) interest on, such Debt
Security or Coupon, on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Debt
Security, and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or
after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the
consent of such Holder.

     SECTION 6.05.   Remedies Cumulative; Delay or Omission in Exercise of
                     -----------------------------------------------------
Rights Not a Waiver of Default.  All powers and remedies given by this Article
------------------------------
VI to the Trustee or to the Holders shall, to the extent permitted by law, be
deemed cumulative and not exclusive of any thereof or of any other powers and
remedies available to the Trustee or the Holders, by judicial proceedings or
otherwise, to enforce the performance or observance of the covenants and
agreements contained in this Indenture, and no delay or omission of the Trustee
or of any Holder to exercise any right or power accruing upon any Default
occurring and continuing as aforesaid, shall impair any such right or power, or
shall be construed to be a waiver of any such Default or an acquiescence
therein; and, subject to the provisions of Section 6.04, every power and remedy
given by this Article VI or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be
exercised from time to time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient, by the
Trustee or by the Holders.

     SECTION 6.06.  Rights of Holders of Majority in Principal Amount of Debt
                    ---------------------------------------------------------
Securities to Direct Trustee and to Waive Default.  The Holders of a majority
-------------------------------------------------
in aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities of any series at the time
Outstanding shall have the right to direct the time, method, and place of
conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising
any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, with respect to the Debt Securities
of such series; provided, however, that such direction shall not be otherwise
than in accordance with law and the provisions of this Indenture, and that
subject to the provisions of Section 7.01, the Trustee shall have the right to
decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee being advised by counsel
shall determine that the action so directed may not lawfully be taken, or if the
Trustee shall by a responsible officer or officers determine that the action so
directed would involve it in personal liability or would be unjustly prejudicial
to Holders of Debt Securities of such series not taking part in such direction;
and provided, further, however, that nothing in this Indenture contained shall
impair the right of the Trustee to take any action deemed proper by the Trustee
and which is not inconsistent with such direction by such Holders. Prior to the
acceleration of the maturity of the Debt Securities of any series, as provided
in Section 6.01, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Debt Securities of that series at the time Outstanding may on behalf of the
Holders of all the Debt Securities and any related Coupons of that series waive
any past Default or Event of Default and its consequences for that series
specified in the terms thereof as contemplated

                                       50
<PAGE>

by Section 2.03, except (i) a Default in the payment of the principal of, and
premium, if any, or interest on, any of the Debt Securities or in the payment of
any related Coupon and (ii) a Default in respect of a provision that under
Section 9.02 cannot be amended without the consent of each Holder affected
thereby. In case of any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, any
Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every
purpose of this Indenture, and the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the
Debt Securities of that series shall be restored to their former positions and
rights hereunder, respectively; but no such waiver shall extend to any
subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

     SECTION 6.07.  Trustee to Give Notice of Defaults Known to It, but May
                    -------------------------------------------------------
Withhold Such Notice in Certain Circumstances.  The Trustee shall, within 90
---------------------------------------------
days after the occurrence of a Default known to it with respect to a series of
Debt Securities or Coupons, if any, give to the Holders thereof, in the manner
provided in Section 13.03, notice of all Defaults with respect to such series
known to the Trustee, unless such Defaults shall have been cured or waived
before the giving of such notice; provided, that, except in the case of Default
in the payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, any of
the Debt Securities or Coupons of such series or in the making of any sinking
fund payment with respect to the Debt 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 committee of directors or responsible
officers of the Trustee in good faith determine that the withholding of such
notice is in the interests of the Holders thereof and provided further that, in
the case of any Default as described in Section 6.01(d) with respect to Debt
Securities of such series, no such notice to Holders of Debt securities of such
series shall be given until the 90th day after the date of the notice specified
in such Section shall have been given. Except with respect to a Default or an
Event of Default pursuant to Section 6.01(a), (b) or (c), the Trustee will not
be charged with knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless written
notice thereof shall have been given to a responsible officer by the Company or
any Holder and such notice references the Debt Securities generally, the Company
or this Indenture.

     SECTION 6.08.  Requirement of an Undertaking To Pay Costs in Certain Suits
                    -----------------------------------------------------------
under the Indenture or Against the Trustee.  All parties to this Indenture
------------------------------------------
agree, and each Holder of any Debt Security or Coupon 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 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 in the manner and to the extent provided in the Trust Indenture
Act, 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 6.08 shall not apply to
any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder, or
group of Holders, holding in the aggregate more than ten percent in principal
amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of that 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 Debt Security

                                       51
<PAGE>

or Coupon on or after the due date for such payment expressed in such Debt
Security or Coupon.

                                  ARTICLE VII
                            Concerning the Trustee

     SECTION 7.01.  Certain Duties and Responsibilities.  The Trustee, prior to
                    -----------------------------------
the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing or waiving of all
Events of Default which may have occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and
only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture. In case an
Event of Default has occurred (which has not been cured or waived), the Trustee
shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and
use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent man would
exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs.

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

          (a)  this subsection shall not be construed to limit the effect of the
first paragraph of this Section 7.01;

          (b)  prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to
the Debt Securities of a series and after the curing or waiving of all Events of
Default with respect to such series which may have occurred:

          (1)  the duties and obligations of the Trustee with respect to Debt
Securities and Coupons, if any, of any series shall be determined solely by the
express provisions of this Indenture, and the Trustee shall not be liable except
for the performance of such duties and obligations with respect to such series
as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or
obligations with respect to such series shall be read into this Indenture
against the Trustee; and

          (2)  in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee, the
Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the
correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions
furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture;
but in the case of any such certificates or opinions 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;

          (c)  the Trustee shall not be liable for an 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; and

          (d)  the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken
or omitted to be taken by it with respect to Debt Securities of any series in
good faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders of not less than a
majority in aggregate

                                       52
<PAGE>

principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of that series 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 Debt Securities of such series.

     None of the provisions of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to
expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any personal financial liability
in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of
its rights or powers, if there shall be reasonable grounds for believing that
repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is
not reasonably assured to it.

     Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this
Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording
protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section.

     SECTION 7.02.  Certain Rights of Trustee.  Except as otherwise provided
                    -------------------------
in Section 7.01:

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

          (b)  any request, direction, order or demand of the Company mentioned
herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by a Company Order (unless other evidence
in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed); and any resolution of the
Board of Directors may be evidenced to the Trustee by a copy thereof certified
by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company;

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

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

          (e)  the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the
rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request, order or
direction of any of the Holders of Debt Securities or Coupons of any series
pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, unless such Holders shall have
offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs,
expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby;

                                       53
<PAGE>

          (f)  the Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted
by it in good faith and reasonably believed by it to be authorized or within the
discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture;

          (g)  prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the
curing of all Events of Default which may have occurred, 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, approval, bond, debenture, note, coupon,
other evidence of indebtedness, or other paper or document, unless requested in
writing to do so by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of
the then Outstanding Debt Securities of a series affected by such matter;
provided, however, that if the payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee
of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making
of such investigation is not, in the opinion of the Trustee, reasonably assured
to the Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms of this Indenture,
the Trustee may require reasonable indemnity against such costs, expenses or
liabilities as a condition to so proceeding. The reasonable expense of every
such investigation shall be paid by the Company or, if paid by the Trustee,
shall be repaid by the Company upon demand;

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

          (i)  if any property other than cash shall at any time be subject to a
Lien in favor of the Holders, the Trustee, if and to the extent authorized by a
receivership or bankruptcy court of competent jurisdiction or by the
supplemental instrument subjecting such property to such lien, shall be entitled
to make advances for the purpose of preserving such property or of discharging
tax Liens or other prior Liens or encumbrances thereon; and

          (j)  for all purposes under this Indenture, the Trustee shall not be
deemed to have notice or knowledge of any Default or Event of Default (other
than under Section 6.01(a), (b) or (c)) unless written notice of such Default or
Event of Default is received by a responsible officer from the Company or a
Holder and such notice references the Debt Securities generally, the Company or
this Indenture.

     SECTION 7.03.  Trustee Not Liable for Recitals in Indenture or in Debt
                    -------------------------------------------------------
Securities.  The recitals contained herein, in the Debt Securities (except the
----------
Trustee's certificate of authentication) and in any Coupons shall be taken as
the statements of the Company, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for the
correctness of the same. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity
or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Debt Securities or Coupons, if any,
of any series or any prospectus related to the Debt Securities of any series.
The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Company
of any of the Debt Securities or of the proceeds thereof.

                                       54
<PAGE>

     SECTION 7.04.  Trustee, Paying Agent or Registrar May Own Debt Securities.
                    ----------------------------------------------------------
The Trustee or any paying agent or Registrar, in its individual or any other
capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Debt Securities or Coupons and
subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act relating to conflicts of
interest and preferential claims may otherwise deal with the Company with the
same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, paying agent or Registrar.

     SECTION 7.05.  Moneys Received by Trustee to Be Held in Trust.  Subject to
                    ----------------------------------------------
the provisions of Section 11.05, all moneys received by the Trustee shall, until
used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which
they were received, but need not be segregated from other funds except to the
extent required by law. The Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on
any moneys received by it hereunder. So long as no Event of Default shall have
and be continuing, all interest allowed on any such moneys shall be paid from
time to time to the Company upon a Company Order.

     SECTION 7.06.  Compensation and Reimbursement.  The Company covenants and
                    ------------------------------
agrees to pay in Dollars to the Trustee from time to time, and the Trustee shall
be entitled to, reasonable compensation for all services rendered by it
hereunder (which shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the
compensation of a trustee of an express trust), and, except as otherwise
expressly provided herein, the Company will pay or reimburse in Dollars the
Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances
incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any of the provisions of this
Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and
disbursements of its agents, attorneys and counsel and of all Persons not
regularly in its employ and including all costs, expenses and losses associated
with the payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on any Debt
Securities denominated in a Foreign Currency) except any such expense,
disbursement or advances as may arise from its negligence or bad faith. The
Company also covenants to indemnify in Dollars the Trustee for, and to hold it
harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence,
willful misconduct or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, arising out of or in
connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust or trusts
hereunder, including the reasonable costs and expenses of defending itself
against any claim of liability in connection with the exercise or performance of
any of its powers or duties hereunder. The obligations of the Company under this
Section 7.06 to compensate and indemnify the Trustee and to pay or reimburse the
Trustee for expenses, disbursements and advances shall constitute additional
indebtedness hereunder and shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this
Indenture. Such additional indebtedness shall be secured by a Lien prior to that
of the Debt Securities and Coupons, if any, upon all property and funds held or
collected by the Trustee, as such, except funds held in trust for the payment of
principal of, and premium, if any, or interest on, particular Debt Securities
and Coupons.

     When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of
Default specified in Section 6.01(f) or (g) occurs, the expenses and the
compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of
administration under any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar
law.

                                       55

     SECTION 7.07.  Right of Trustee to Rely on an Officers' Certificate Where
                    ----------------------------------------------------------
No Other Evidence Specifically Prescribed.  Except as otherwise provided in
-----------------------------------------
Section 7.01, whenever in the administration of the provisions of this Indenture
the Trustee shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or
established prior to taking or suffering or omitting any action hereunder, such
matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically
prescribed) may, in the absence of negligence or bad faith on the part of the
Trustee, be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by an Officers'
Certificate delivered to the Trustee and such certificate, in the absence of
negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, shall be full warrant to the
Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it under the provisions of
this Indenture upon the faith thereof.

     SECTION 7.08.  Separate Trustee; Replacement of Trustee.  The Company may,
                    ----------------------------------------
but need not, appoint a separate Trustee for any one or more series of Debt
Securities. The Trustee may resign with respect to one or more or all series of
Debt Securities at any time by giving notice to the Company. The Holders of a
majority in principal amount of the Debt Securities of a particular series may
remove the Trustee for such series and only such series by so notifying the
Trustee and may appoint a successor Trustee. The Company shall remove the
Trustee if:

          (1)  the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10;

          (2)  the Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent;

          (3)  a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the Trustee or
its property; or

          (4)  the Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting.

     If the Trustee resigns, is removed by the Company or by the Holders of a
majority in principal amount of the Debt Securities of a particular series and
such Holders do not reasonably promptly appoint a successor Trustee, or if a
vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason (the Trustee in such
event being referred to herein as the retiring Trustee), the Company shall
promptly appoint a successor Trustee with respect to the affected series of Debt
Securities.  No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a
successor Trustee shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by
the successor Trustee in accordance with the applicable requirements of this
Section 7.08.

     If no successor Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of any series
shall have been so appointed by the Company or the Holders and accepted in the
manner required by this Section 7.08, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder
of a Debt Security of such series for at least six months may, on behalf of
himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Debt
Securities of such series.

     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

                                       56
<PAGE>

retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have
all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. 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 7.06. The
Company shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee
with respect to the Debt Securities of any series and each appointment of a
successor Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of any series to all
Holders of Debt Securities of such series in the manner provided in Section
13.03. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee with respect
to the Debt Securities of such series and the address of the corporate trust
office of such successor Trustee.

     If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the
retiring Trustee gives notice of resignation or is removed, the retiring Trustee
or the Holders of 25% in principal amount of the Debt Securities of any
applicable series may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of a successor Trustee for the Debt Securities of such series.

     If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10, any Holder of Debt
Securities of any applicable series may petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor
Trustee for the Debt Securities of such series.

     Notwithstanding the replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section
7.08, the Company's obligations under Section 7.06 shall continue for the
benefit of the retiring Trustee.

     In the case of the appointment hereunder of a separate or successor trustee
with respect to the Debt Securities of one or more (but not all) series, the
Company, any retiring Trustee and each successor or separate Trustee with
respect to the Debt Securities of any applicable series shall execute and
deliver an indenture supplemental hereto (1) which shall contain such provisions
as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights,
powers, trusts and duties of any retiring Trustee with respect to the Debt
Securities of any series as to which any such retiring Trustee is not retiring
shall continue to be vested in such retiring Trustee and (2) that 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 separate, retiring or successor 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.

     SECTION 7.09.  Successor Trustee by Merger.  If the Trustee consolidates
                    ---------------------------
with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all its
corporate trust business or assets to, another corporation or banking
association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation or banking
association without any further act shall be the successor Trustee.

                                       57
<PAGE>

     In case at the time such successor or successors by merger, conversion or
consolidation to the Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this
Indenture any of the Debt Securities shall have been authenticated but not
delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of
authentication of any predecessor trustee, and deliver such Debt Securities so
authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Debt Securities shall not
have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee may authenticate such Debt
Securities either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the
successor to the Trustee; and in all such cases such certificates shall have the
full force which it is anywhere in the Debt Securities or in this Indenture
provided that the certificate of the Trustee shall have.

     SECTION 7.10.  Eligibility; Disqualification.  The Trustee shall at all
                    -----------------------------
times satisfy the requirements of Section 310(a) of the Trust Indenture Act. The
Trustee shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 as set
forth in its most recent published annual report of condition. No obligor upon
the Debt Securities or Coupons, if any, of a particular series or Person
directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under common control with
such obligor shall serve as Trustee upon the Debt Securities and Coupons of such
series. The Trustee shall comply with Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act;
provided, however, that there shall be excluded from the operation of Section
310(b)(1) of the Trust Indenture Act this Indenture or any indenture or
indentures under which other securities or certificates of interest or
participation in other securities of the Company are outstanding if the
requirements for such exclusion set forth in Section 310(b)(1) of the Trust
Indenture Act are met.

     SECTION 7.11.  Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company.  The
                    -------------------------------------------------
Trustee shall comply with Section 311(a) of the Trust Indenture Act, excluding
any creditor relationship listed in Section 311(b) of the Trust Indenture Act. A
Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to Section 311(a) of
the Trust Indenture Act to the extent indicated therein.

     SECTION 7.12.  Compliance with Tax Laws.  The Trustee hereby agrees to
                    ------------------------
comply with all U.S. Federal income tax information reporting and withholding
requirements applicable to it with respect to payments of premium (if any) and
interest on the Debt Securities, whether acting as Trustee, Registrar, paying
agent or otherwise with respect to the Debt Securities.

                                 ARTICLE VIII
                            Concerning the Holders

     SECTION 8.01.  Evidence of Action by Holders.  Whenever in this Indenture
                    -----------------------------
it is provided that the Holders of a specified percentage in aggregate principal
amount of the Debt Securities of any or all series may take action (including
the making of any demand or request, the giving of any direction, notice,
consent or waiver or the taking of any other action) the fact that at the time
of taking any such action the Holders of such specified percentage have joined
therein may be evidenced (a) by any instrument or any number of instruments of
similar tenor executed by Holders in Person or by agent or proxy appointed in
writing, (b) by the record of the Holders voting in favor thereof at

                                       58
<PAGE>

any meeting of Holders duly called and held in accordance with the provisions of
Section 5.02 or (c) by a combination of such instrument or instruments and any
such record of such a meeting of Holders.

     SECTION 8.02.  Proof of Execution of Instruments and of Holding of Debt
                    --------------------------------------------------------
Securities.  Subject to the provisions of Sections 7.01, 7.02 and 13.11, proof
----------
of the execution of any instrument by a Holder or his agent or proxy shall be
sufficient if made in accordance with such reasonable rules and regulations as
may be prescribed by the Trustee or in such manner as shall be satisfactory to
the Trustee.

     The ownership of Registered Securities of any series shall be proved by the
Debt Security Register or by a certificate of the Registrar for such series.

     The ownership of Bearer Securities shall be proved by production of such
Bearer Securities or by a certificate executed by any bank or trust company,
which certificate shall be dated and shall state on the date thereof a Bearer
Security bearing a specified identifying number or other mark was deposited with
or exhibited to the Person executing such certificate by the Person named in
such certificate, or by any other proof of possession reasonably satisfactory to
the Trustee. The holding by the Person named in any such certificate of any
Bearer Security specified therein shall be presumed to continue for a period of
one year unless at the time of determination of such holding (1) another
certificate bearing a later date issued in respect of the same Bearer Security
shall be produced, (2) such Bearer Security shall be produced by some other
Person, (3) such Bearer Security shall have been registered on the Debt Security
Register, if, pursuant to Section 2.03, such Bearer Security can be so
registered, or (4) such Bearer Security shall have been canceled or paid.

     The Trustee may require such additional proof of any matter referred to in
this Section 8.02 as it shall deem necessary.

     SECTION 8.03.  Who May Be Deemed Owner of Debt Securities.  Prior to due
                    ------------------------------------------
presentment for registration of transfer of any Registered Security, the
Company, the Trustee, any paying agent and any Registrar may deem and treat the
Person in whose name any Registered Security shall be registered upon the books
of the Company as the absolute owner of such Registered Security (whether or not
such Registered Security shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of
ownership or other writing thereon) for the purpose of receiving payment of or
on account of the principal of and premium, if any, and (subject to Section
2.03) interest on such Registered Security and for all other purposes, and
neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any paying agent nor any Registrar shall
be affected by any notice to the contrary; and all such payments so made to any
such Holder for the time being, or upon his order, shall be valid and, to the
extent of the sum or sums so paid, effectual to satisfy and discharge the
liability for moneys payable upon any such Registered Security.

     The Company, the Trustee and any paying agent may deem and treat the Holder
of any Bearer Security or Coupon as the absolute owner of such Bearer Security
or Coupon (whether or not such Debt Security shall be overdue and
notwithstanding any

                                       59
<PAGE>

notation of ownership or other writing thereon) for the purpose of receiving
payment of or on account of the principal of and premium, if any, and (subject
to Section 2.03) interest on such Bearer Security or Coupon and for all other
purposes, and neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any paying agent shall be
affected by any notice to the contrary; and all such payments so made to any
such Holder for the time being, or upon his order, shall be valid and, to the
extent of the sum or sums so paid, effectual to satisfy and discharge the
liability for moneys payable upon any such Bearer Security or Coupon.

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

     SECTION 8.04.  Instruments Executed by Holders Bind Future Holders.  At
                    ---------------------------------------------------
any time prior to (but not after) the evidencing to the Trustee, as provided in
Section 8.01, of the taking of any action by the Holders of the percentage in
aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities of any series specified in
this Indenture in connection with such action and subject to the following
paragraph, any Holder of a Debt Security which is shown by the evidence to be
included in the Debt Securities the Holders of which have consented to such
action may, by filing written notice with the Trustee at its corporate trust
office and upon proof of holding as provided in Section 8.02, revoke such action
so far as concerns such Holder. Except as aforesaid, any such action taken by
the Holder of any Debt Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder
and upon all future Holders and owners of such Debt Security and all past,
present and future Holders of Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto, and of any
Debt Security issued upon transfer thereof or in exchange or substitution
therefor, irrespective of whether or not any notation in regard thereto is made
upon such Debt Security or such other Debt Securities or Coupons. Any action
taken by the Holders of the percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Debt
Securities of any series specified in this Indenture in connection with such
action shall be conclusively binding upon the Company, the Trustee and the
Holders of all the Securities and Coupons of such series.

     The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the
purpose of determining the Holders of Registered Securities entitled to give
their consent or take any other action required or permitted to be taken
pursuant to this Indenture. If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding the
immediately preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Holders of Registered
Securities at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only
those Persons, shall be entitled to give such consent or to revoke any consent
previously given or to take any such action, whether or not such Persons
continue to be Holders of Registered Securities after such record date. No such
consent shall be valid or effective for more than 120 days after such record
date unless the consent of the Holders of the percentage in aggregate principal
amount of the Debt Securities of such series specified in this Indenture shall
have been received within such 120-day period.

                            Supplemental Indentures

     SECTION 9.01.  Purposes for Which Supplemental Indenture May Be Entered
                    --------------------------------------------------------
into Without Consent of Holders.  The Company and the Trustee may from time to
-------------------------------
time and at any time, without the consent of Holders, enter into an indenture or
indentures supplemental hereto (which shall conform to the provisions of the
Trust Indenture Act as in force at the date of the execution thereof) for one or
more of the following purposes:

          (a)  to evidence the succession pursuant to Article X of another
Person to the Company, or successive successions, and the assumption by the
Successor Company (as defined in Section 10.01) of the covenants, agreements and
obligations of the Company in this Indenture and in the Debt Securities;

          (b)  to surrender any right or power herein conferred upon the
Company, to add to the covenants of the Company such further covenants,
restrictions, conditions or provisions for the protection of the Holders of all
or any series of Debt Securities and the Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto
(and if such covenants are to be for the benefit of less than all series of Debt
Securities, stating that such covenants are expressly being included solely for
the benefit of such series), and to make the occurrence, or the occurrence and
continuance, of a Default in any of such additional covenants, restrictions,
conditions or provisions a Default or an Event of Default permitting the
enforcement of all or any of the several remedies provided in this Indenture;
provided, that in respect of any such additional covenant, restriction,
condition or provision such supplemental indenture may provide for a particular
period of grace after Default (which period may be shorter or longer than that
allowed in the case of other Defaults) or may provide for an immediate
enforcement upon such Default or may limit the right of the Holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of any or all series of Debt Securities
to waive such default;

          (c)  to cure any ambiguity or to correct or supplement any provision
contained herein, in any supplemental indenture or in any Debt Security of any
series that may be defective or inconsistent with any other provision contained
herein, in any supplemental indenture or in the Debt Securities of such series;
to convey, transfer, assign, mortgage or pledge any property to or with the
Trustee, or to make such other provisions in regard to matters or questions
arising under this Indenture, provided that any such action shall not adversely
affect the interests of any Holders of Debt Securities of any series;

          (d)  to modify or amend this Indenture in such a manner as to permit
the qualification of this Indenture or any Indenture supplemental hereto under
the Trust Indenture Act as then in effect, except that nothing herein contained
shall permit or authorize the inclusion in any Indenture supplemental hereto of
the provisions referred to in Section 316(a)(2) of the Trust Indenture Act;

                                       61
<PAGE>

          (e)  to add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture to
provide that Bearer Securities may be registerable as to principal, to change or
eliminate any restrictions on the payment of principal of, or premium, if any,
on, Registered Securities or of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest
on, Bearer Securities or to permit Registered Securities to be exchanged for
Bearer Securities; provided, that any such action shall not adversely affect the
interests of the Holders of Debt Securities or any Coupons of any series in any
material respect or permit or facilitate the issuance of Debt Securities of any
series in uncertificated form;

          (f)  to comply with Article X;

          (g)  to add guarantees with respect to the Debt Securities or to
secure the Debt Securities;

          (h)  to make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of
any Holder;

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

          (j)  to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment
hereunder by a successor Trustee with respect to the Debt 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 or facilitate the administration of the trusts
hereunder by more than one Trustee; and

          (k)  to establish the form or terms of Debt Securities and Coupons, if
any, of any series as permitted by Sections 2.01 and 2.03.

     The Trustee is hereby authorized to join with the Company in the execution
of any such supplemental indenture, to make any further appropriate agreements
and stipulations which may be therein contained and to accept the conveyance,
transfer, assignment, mortgage or pledge of any property thereunder, but the
Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into any such supplemental indenture
which affects the Trustee's own rights, duties or immunities under this
Indenture or otherwise.

     Any supplemental indenture authorized by the provisions of this Section
9.01 may be executed by the Company and the Trustee without the consent of the
Holders of any of the Debt Securities or Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto
at the time Outstanding, notwithstanding any of the provisions of Section 9.02.

     After an amendment under this Section 9.01 becomes effective, the Company
shall mail to Holders of Debt Securities of each series affected thereby a
notice briefly

                                       62
<PAGE>

describing such amendment. The failure to give such notice to all such Holders,
or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of an amendment
under this Section 9.01.

     SECTION 9.02.  Modification of Indenture with Consent of Holders of Debt
                    ---------------------------------------------------------
Securities.  Without notice to any Holder but with the consent (evidenced as
----------
provided in Section 8.01) of the Holders of not less than a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of each series
affected by such supplemental indenture, the Company, when authorized by a
resolution of the Board of Directors, and the Trustee may from time to time and
at any time enter into an Indenture or Indentures supplemental hereto (which
shall conform to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act as in force at the
date of execution thereof) for the purpose of adding any provisions to or
changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture or
of any supplemental indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the
Holders of the Debt Securities of such series; provided, that no such
supplemental indenture, without the consent of the Holders of each Debt Security
so affected, shall (i) reduce the percentage in principal amount of Debt
Securities of any series whose Holders must consent to an amendment; (ii) reduce
the rate of or extend the time for payment of interest on any Debt Security or
Coupon or reduce the amount of any payment to be made with respect to any
Coupon; (iii) reduce the principal of or change the Stated Maturity of the
principal of, or any installment of principal of or interest on, any Debt
Security or reduce the amount of principal of any Original Issue Discount
Security that would be due and payable upon declaration of acceleration of
maturity; (iv) reduce the premium payable upon the redemption of any Debt

have been granted in respect of the Debt Securities; (vii) make any change in
Section 6.06 or the second sentence of this Section 9.02; (viii) change any
obligation of the Company to pay additional interest pursuant to Section 4.06;
(ix) limit the obligation of the Company to maintain a paying agency outside the
United States for payment on Bearer Securities as provided in Section 4.02 or
limit the obligation of the Company to redeem an Affected Security as provided
in Section 3.02(b); (x) change any Place of Payment where any Debt Security or
any premium or interest thereon is payable; (xi) impair the right to institute

redemption); or (xii) modify any of the provisions of this Section, Section 4.09
or Section 6.06, 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 Debt Security affected thereby,
provided, however, that this Section 9.02 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, Section 4.09, or the deletion of this
proviso, in accordance with the requirements of Section 7.08 and 9.01(j).

     A supplemental indenture which changes or eliminates any covenant or other
provision of this Indenture which has been expressly included solely for the
benefit of one or more particular series of Debt Securities and Coupons, if any,
or which modifies the rights of the Holders of Debt Securities and Coupons of
such series with respect to

                                       63
<PAGE>

such covenant or other provision, shall be deemed not to affect the rights under
this Indenture of the Holders of Debt Securities and Coupons, if any, of any
other series.

     Upon the request of the Company, accompanied by a copy of a resolution of
the Board of Directors authorizing the execution of any such supplemental
indenture, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence of the consent of
Holders as aforesaid, the Trustee shall join with the Company in the execution
of such supplemental indenture unless such supplemental indenture affects the
Trustee's own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in
which case the Trustee may in its discretion but shall not be obligated to enter
into such supplemental indenture. The Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and
shall be fully protected in relying upon (subject to Section 7.01), an Officers'
Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such
supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture.

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

     After an amendment under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Company
shall mail to Holders of Debt Securities of each series affected thereby a
notice briefly describing such amendment. The failure to give such notice to all
such Holders, or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of
an amendment under this Section 9.02.

     SECTION 9.03.  Effect of Supplemental Indentures.  Upon the execution of
                    ---------------------------------
any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Article IX, this
Indenture shall be and be deemed to be modified and amended in accordance
therewith and the respective rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties
and immunities under this Indenture of the Trustee, the Company and the Holders
shall thereafter be determined, exercised and enforced hereunder subject in all
respects to such modifications and amendments, and all the terms and conditions
of any such supplemental indenture shall be and be deemed to be part of the
terms and conditions of this Indenture for any and all purposes.

     SECTION 9.04.  Debt Securities May Bear Notation of Changes by
                    -----------------------------------------------
Supplemental Indentures.  Debt Securities and Coupons, if any, of any series
-----------------------
authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental indenture
pursuant to the provisions of this Article IX 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. New Debt Securities and Coupons of
any series so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Trustee and the
Board of Directors, to any modification of this Indenture contained in any such
supplemental indenture may be prepared and executed by the Company,
authenticated by the Trustee and delivered in exchange for the Debt Securities
and Coupons of such series then Outstanding. Failure to make the appropriate
notation or to issue a new Debt Security or Coupon of such series shall not
affect the validity of such amendment.

     SECTION 9.05.  Payment for Consent.  Neither the Company nor any Affiliate
                    -------------------
of the Company shall, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any
consideration, whether by way of interest, fee or otherwise, to any Holder for
or as an inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or
provisions of this Indenture or the Debt Securities or Coupons, if any,
appertaining thereto unless such consideration is offered to be paid to all
Holders that so consent, waive or agree to amend in the time frame set forth in
solicitation documents relating to such consent, waiver or agreement.

                                   ARTICLE X
                   Consolidation, Merger, Sale or Conveyance

     SECTION 10.01. Consolidations and Mergers of the Company.  The Company
                    -----------------------------------------
shall not consolidate with, or sell or convey or lease all or substantially all
of its assets to, or merge with or into any other Person, unless: (i) either (a)
the Company shall be the continuing corporation in the case of a merger or (b)
the resulting, surviving or transferee Person if other than the Company (the
"Successor Company") shall be a corporation organized and existing under the
laws of the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia and the
Successor Company shall expressly assume, by an Indenture supplemental hereto,
executed and delivered to the Trustee, in form satisfactory to the Trustee, all
the obligations of the Company under the Debt Securities and Coupons, if any,
according to their tenor, and this Indenture; (ii) immediately after giving
effect to such transaction, no Default or Event of Default would occur or be
continuing; (iii) the Successor Company waives any right to redeem any Bearer
Security under circumstances in which the Successor Company would be entitled to
redeem such Bearer Security but the Company would not have been so entitled to
redeem if the consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer or lease had not
occurred; and (iv) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers'
Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation,
merger or transfer and such supplemental indenture (if any) comply with this
Indenture.

     SECTION 10.02. Rights and Duties of Successor Corporation.  In case of any
                    ------------------------------------------
consolidation or merger, or conveyance or sale of the assets of the Company as
an entirety or substantially as an entirety in accordance with Section 10.01,
the Successor Company 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 predecessor corporation shall be relieved of any further obligation
under the Indenture and the Securities. The Successor Company thereupon may
cause to be signed, and may issue either in its own name or in the name of the
Company, any or all the Debt Securities issuable hereunder which theretofore
shall not have been signed by the Company and delivered to the Trustee; and,
upon the order of the Successor Company, instead of the Company, and subject to
all the terms, conditions and limitations in this Indenture prescribed, the
Trustee shall authenticate and shall deliver any Debt Securities and Coupons, if
any, appertaining thereto, which previously shall have been signed and delivered
by the officers of the Company to the Trustee for authentication, and any Debt
Securities and Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto, which the Successor
Company thereafter shall cause to be signed and delivered to the Trustee for
that purpose. All the Debt Securities

                                       65
<PAGE>

and Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto so issued shall in all respects have
the same legal rank and benefit under this Indenture as the Debt Securities and
Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto theretofore or thereafter issued in
accordance with the terms of this Indenture as though all such Debt Securities
and Coupons had been issued at the date of the execution hereof.

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

             Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture; Defeasance;
                               Unclaimed Moneys

     SECTION 11.01. Applicability of Article.  If, pursuant to Section 2.03,
                    ------------------------
provision is made for the defeasance of Debt Securities of a series and if the
Debt Securities of such series are Registered Securities and denominated and
payable only in Dollars (except as provided pursuant to Section 2.03), then the
provisions of this Article XI relating to defeasance of Debt Securities shall be
applicable except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 2.03 for Debt
Securities of such series. Defeasance provisions, if any, for Debt Securities
denominated in a Foreign Currency or for Bearer Securities may be specified
pursuant to Section 2.03.

     SECTION 11.02. Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture; Defeasance.
                    ---------------------------------------------------
(a) If at any time (i) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee for
cancellation all Debt Securities of any series theretofore authenticated and
delivered (other than (1) Coupons appertaining to Bearer Securities of such
series called for redemption and maturing after the relevant redemption date,
surrender of which has been waived, (2) any Debt Securities and Coupons of such
series which shall have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which shall have been
replaced or paid as provided in Section 2.09 and (3) Debt Securities and Coupons
for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust and thereafter
repaid to the Company as provided in Section 11.05) or (ii) all Debt Securities
and the Coupons, if any, of such series not theretofore delivered to the Trustee
for cancellation shall have become due and payable, whether by redemption or at
Stated Maturity or otherwise, and the Company shall deposit with the Trustee as
trust funds the entire amount in the Currency in which such Debt Securities are
denominated with respect to Bearer Securities or in Dollars with respect to
Registered Securities (in each case except as otherwise provided pursuant to
Section 2.03) sufficient to pay at maturity or upon redemption all Debt
Securities of such series not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for
cancellation, including principal and premium, if any, and interest due or to
become due on such date of maturity or redemption date, as the case may be, and
if in either case the Company shall also pay or cause to be paid all other sums
payable hereunder by the Company, then this Indenture shall cease to be of
further effect (except as to any surviving rights of registration of transfer or
exchange of such Debt Securities herein expressly provided for and rights to
receive payments of principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, such
Debt Securities and any right to receive additional interest as provided in
Section 4.06 and rights of the Trustee under Section 7.06) with

                                       66
<PAGE>

respect to the Debt Securities of such series, and the Trustee, on demand of the
Company accompanied by an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel and at
the cost and expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments
acknowledging satisfaction of and discharging this Indenture.

          (b)  Subject to Sections 11.02(c), 11.03 and 11.07, the Company at any
time may terminate, with respect to Debt Securities of a particular series, (i)
all its obligations under the Debt Securities of such series and this Indenture
with respect to the Debt Securities of such series ("legal defeasance option")
or (ii) its obligations with respect to the Debt Securities of such series under
Sections 4.07 and 4.08 and clause (iii) of Section 10.01 and the related
operation of Section 6.01(d) and the operation of Sections 6.01(d) and (h)
("covenant defeasance option"). The Company may exercise its legal defeasance
option notwithstanding its prior exercise of its covenant defeasance option.

     If the Company exercises its legal defeasance option, payment of the Debt
Securities of the defeased series may not be accelerated because of an Event of
Default.  If the Company exercises its covenant defeasance option, payment of
the Debt Securities of the defeased series may not be accelerated because of an
Event of Default specified in Sections 6.01(c), (d) and (h) (except to the
extent covenants or agreements referenced in such Sections remain applicable).

     Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth herein and upon request of
the Company, the Trustee shall acknowledge in writing the discharge of those
obligations that the Company terminates.

          (c)  Notwithstanding clauses (a) and (b) above, the Company's
obligations in Sections 2.07, 2.09, 4.02, 4.04, 5.01, 7.06, 7.10, 11.05, 11.06
and 11.07 shall survive until the Debt Securities of the defeased series have
been paid in full. Thereafter, the Company's obligations in Sections 7.06, 11.05
and 11.06 shall survive.

     SECTION 11.03. Conditions of Defeasance.  The Company may exercise its
                    ------------------------
legal defeasance option or its covenant defeasance option with respect to Debt
Securities of a particular series only if:

          (1)  the Company irrevocably deposits in trust with the Trustee money
or U.S. Government Obligations for the payment of principal of, and premium, if
any, and interest on, the Debt Securities of such series to maturity or
redemption, as the case may be;

          (2)  the Company delivers to the Trustee a certificate from a
nationally recognized firm of independent accountants expressing their opinion
that the payments of principal and interest when due and without reinvestment on
the deposited U.S. Government Obligations plus any deposited money without
investment will provide cash at such times and in such amounts as will be
sufficient to pay the principal, premium and interest when due on all the Debt
Securities of such series to maturity or redemption, as the case may be;

                                       67
<PAGE>

          (3)  123 days pass after the deposit is made and during the 123-day
period no Default specified in Section 6.01(f) or (g) with respect to the
Company occurs which is continuing at the end of the period;

          (4)  no Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of such
deposit and after giving effect thereto;

          (5)  the deposit does not constitute a default under any other
agreement binding on the Company;

          (6)  the Company delivers to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the
effect that the trust resulting from the deposit does not constitute, or is
qualified as, a regulated investment company under the Investment Company Act of
1940;

          (7)  in the event of the legal defeasance option, the Company shall
have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that (i) the Company
has received from the Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or (ii) since the date
of this Indenture there has been a change in the applicable Federal income tax
law, in either case of the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of
Counsel shall confirm that, the Holders of Debt Securities of such series will
not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result
of such defeasance and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same
amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if
such defeasance had not occurred;

          (8)  in the event of the covenant defeasance option, the Company shall
have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the
Holders of Debt Securities of such series will not recognize income, gain or
loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such covenant defeasance and
will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner
and at the same times as would have been the case if such covenant defeasance
had not occurred;

          (9)  the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers'
Certificate to the effect that the Debt Securities of such series, if then
listed on any securities exchange, will not be delisted as a result of such
deposit.

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

          (11) the Company delivers to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate and
an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent to the
defeasance and discharge of the Debt Securities of such series as contemplated
by this Article XI have been complied with.

     Before or after a deposit, the Company may make arrangements satisfactory
to the Trustee for the redemption of Debt Securities of such series at a future
date in accordance with Article III.

     SECTION 11.04. Application of Trust Money.  The Trustee shall hold in trust
                    --------------------------
money or U.S. Government Obligations deposited with it pursuant to this Article
XI. It shall apply the deposited money and the money from U.S. Government
Obligations through any paying agent and in accordance with this Indenture to
the payment of principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, the Debt
Securities and Coupons, if any, of the defeased series.

     SECTION 11.05. Repayment to Company.  The Trustee and any paying agent
                    --------------------
shall promptly turn over to the Company upon request any excess money or
securities held by them at any time.

     Subject to any applicable abandoned property law, the Trustee and any
paying agent shall pay to the Company upon request any money held by them for
the payment of principal, premium or interest that remains unclaimed for two
years, and, thereafter, Holders entitled to such money must look to the Company
for payment as general creditors.

     SECTION 11.06. Indemnity for U.S. Government Obligations.  The Company
                    -----------------------------------------
shall pay and shall indemnify the Trustee and the Holders against any tax, fee
or other change imposed on or assessed against deposited U.S. Government
Obligations or the principal and interest received on such U.S. Government
Obligations.

     SECTION 11.07. Reinstatement.  If the Trustee or any paying agent is unable
                    -------------
to apply any money or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with this
Article XI by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or
judgment of any court or government authority enjoining, restraining or
otherwise prohibiting such application, the Company's obligations under this
Indenture and the Debt Securities of the defeased series shall be revived and
reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article XI until
such time as the Trustee or any paying agent is permitted to apply all such
money or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with this Article XI.

                                  ARTICLE XII
                       Subordination of Debt Securities

     SECTION 12.01. Applicability of Article; Agreement To Subordinate.  Except
                    --------------------------------------------------
as provided otherwise in any Officers' Certificate or indentures supplemental
hereto establishing the terms of a series of Debt Securities, the provisions of
this Article XII shall be applicable to the Debt Securities of any series (Debt
Securities of such series referred to in this Article XII as "Subordinated Debt
Securities") designated, pursuant to Section 2.03, as subordinated to Senior
Indebtedness. Each Holder by accepting a Subordinated Debt Security agrees that
the Indebtedness evidenced by such Subordinated Debt Security is subordinated in
right of payment, to the extent and in the manner provided in this Article XII,
to the prior payment of all Senior Indebtedness with respect to such series of
Debt Securities and that the subordination is for the benefit of and enforceable
by the holders of Senior Indebtedness. All provisions of this Article XII shall
be subject to Section 12.12. The Officers' Certificate or indenture supplemental
hereto establishing the terms of a series of Debt Securities may provide
provisions

                                       69
<PAGE>

relating to the subordination of that series that differ from, add to, diminish
from, or replace in their entirety any or all of the provisions of this Article
XII with respect to such series of Debt Securities and that identify the same or
different Senior Indebtedness for each series of Subordinated Debt Securities
hereunder, including provisions subordinating a series of Subordinated Debt
Securities to any or all other series of Subordinated Debt Securities.

     SECTION 12.02. Liquidation, Dissolution, Bankruptcy.  Upon any payment or
                    ------------------------------------
distribution of the assets of the Company to creditors upon a total or partial
liquidation or a total or partial dissolution of the Company or in a bankruptcy,
reorganization, insolvency, receivership or similar proceeding relating to the
Company or its property:

          (a)  holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled to receive
payment in full in cash of the Senior Indebtedness (including interest (if any),
accruing on or after the commencement of a proceeding in bankruptcy, whether or
not allowed as a claim against the Company in such bankruptcy proceeding) before
Holders of Subordinated Debt Securities shall be entitled to receive any payment
of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, the Subordinated Debt
Securities; and

          (b)  until the Senior Indebtedness is paid in full, any distribution
to which Holders of Subordinated Debt Securities would be entitled but for this
ArticleXII shall be made to holders of Senior Indebtedness as their interests
may appear, except that such Holders may receive shares of stock and any debt
securities that are subordinated to Senior Indebtedness to at least the same
extent as the Subordinated Debt Securities.

     SECTION 12.03. Default on Senior Indebtedness.  The Company may not pay the
                    ------------------------------
principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, the Subordinated Debt
Securities or make any deposit pursuant to Article XI and may not repurchase,
redeem or otherwise retire (except, in the case of Subordinated Debt Securities
that provide for a mandatory sinking fund pursuant to Section 3.05, by the
delivery of Subordinated Debt Securities by the Company to the Trustee pursuant
to the first paragraph of Section 3.06) any Debt Securities (collectively, "pay
the Subordinated Debt Securities") if (a) any principal, premium or interest in
respect of Senior Indebtedness is not paid within any applicable grace period
(including at maturity) or (b) any other default on Senior Indebtedness occurs
and the maturity of such Senior Indebtedness is accelerated in accordance with
its terms unless, in either case, (i) the default has been cured or waived and
any such acceleration has been rescinded or (ii) such Senior Indebtedness has
been paid in full in cash; provided, however, that the Company may pay the
Subordinated Debt Securities without regard to the foregoing if the Company and
the Trustee receive written notice approving such payment from the
Representative of each issue of Designated Senior Indebtedness. During the
continuance of any default (other than a default described in clause (a) or (b)
of the preceding sentence) with respect to any Senior Indebtedness pursuant to
which the maturity thereof may be accelerated immediately without further notice
(except such notice as may be required to effect such acceleration) or the
expiration of any applicable grace periods, the Company may not pay the
Subordinated Debt Securities for a period (a "Payment Blockage Period")
commencing upon the receipt by the Company and the Trustee of written notice of
such default from the Representative

                                       70
<PAGE>

of any Designated Senior Indebtedness specifying an election to effect a Payment
Blockage Period (a "Blockage Notice") and ending 179 days thereafter (or earlier
if such Payment Blockage Period is terminated (A) by written notice to the
Trustee and the Company from the Person or Persons who gave such Blockage
Notice, (B) by repayment in full in cash of such Designated Senior Indebtedness
or (C) because the default giving rise to such Blockage Notice is no longer
continuing). Notwithstanding the provisions described in the immediately
preceding sentence (but subject to the provisions contained in the first
sentence of this Section 12.03), unless the holders of such Designated Senior
Indebtedness or the Representative of such holders shall have accelerated the
maturity of such Designated Senior Indebtedness, the Company may resume payments
on the Subordinated Debt Securities after such Payment Blockage Period. Not more
than one Blockage Notice may be given in any consecutive 360-day period,
irrespective of the number of defaults with respect to any number of issues of
Senior Indebtedness during such period; provided, however, that if any Blockage
Notice within such 360-day period is given by or on behalf of any holders of
Designated Senior Indebtedness (other than the Bank Indebtedness), the
Representative of the Bank Indebtedness may give another Blockage Notice within
such period; provided, further, however, that in no event may the total number
of days during which any Payment Blockage Period or Periods is in effect exceed
179 days in the aggregate during any 360 consecutive day period. For purposes of
this Section 12.03, no default or event of default which existed or was
continuing on the date of the commencement of any Payment Blockage Period with
respect to the Senior Indebtedness initiating such Payment Blockage Period shall
be, or be made, the basis of the commencement of a subsequent Payment Blockage
Period by the Representative of such Senior Indebtedness, whether or not within
a period of 360 consecutive days, unless such default or event of default shall
have been cured or waived for a period of not less than 90 consecutive days.

     SECTION 12.04. Acceleration of Payment of Debt Securities.  If payment of
                    ------------------------------------------
the Subordinated Debt Securities is accelerated because of an Event of Default,
the Company or the Trustee shall promptly notify the holders of the Designated
Senior Indebtedness (or their Representatives) of the acceleration.

     SECTION 12.05. When Distribution Must Be Paid Over.  If a distribution is
                    -----------------------------------
made to Holders of Subordinated Debt Securities that because of this Article XII
should not have been made to them, the Holders who receive such distribution
shall hold it in trust for holders of Senior Indebtedness and pay it over to
them as their interests may appear.

     SECTION 12.06. Subrogation.  After all Senior Indebtedness is paid in full
                    -----------
and until the Subordinated Debt Securities are paid in full, Holders thereof
shall be subrogated to the rights of holders of Senior Indebtedness to receive
distributions applicable to Senior Indebtedness. A distribution made under this
Article XII to holders of Senior Indebtedness which otherwise would have been
made to Holders of Subordinated Debt Securities is not, as between the Company
and such Holders, a payment by the Company on Senior Indebtedness.

                                       71
<PAGE>

     SECTION 12.07. Relative Rights.  This Article XII defines the relative
                    ---------------
rights of Holders of Subordinated Debt Securities and holders of Senior
Indebtedness. Nothing in this Indenture shall:

          (a)  impair, as between the Company and Holders of either Subordinated
Debt Securities or Debt Securities, the obligation of the Company, which is
absolute and unconditional, to pay principal of, and premium, if any, and
interest on, the Subordinated Debt Securities and the Debt Securities in
accordance with their terms; or

          (b)  prevent the Trustee or any Holder of either Subordinated Debt
Securities or Debt Securities from exercising its available remedies upon a
Default, subject to the rights of holders of Senior Indebtedness to receive
distributions otherwise payable to Holders of Subordinated Debt Securities.

     SECTION 12.08. Subordination May Not Be Impaired by Company.  No right of
                    --------------------------------------------
any holder of Senior Indebtedness to enforce the subordination of the
Indebtedness evidenced by the Subordinated Debt Securities shall be impaired by
any act or failure to act by the Company or by its failure to comply with this
Indenture.

     SECTION 12.09. Rights of Trustee and Paying Agent.  Notwithstanding Section
                    ----------------------------------
12.03, the Trustee or any paying agent may continue to make payments on
Subordinated Debt Securities and shall not be charged with knowledge of the
existence of facts that would prohibit the making of any such payments unless,
not less than two business days prior to the date of such payment, a responsible
officer of the Trustee receives notice satisfactory to it that payments may not
be made under this Article XII. The Company, the Registrar, any paying agent, a
Representative or a holder of Senior Indebtedness may give the notice; provided,
however, that, if an issue of Senior Indebtedness has a Representative, only the
Representative may give the notice.

     The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may hold Senior
Indebtedness with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.  The
Registrar and any paying agent may do the same with like rights.  The Trustee
shall be entitled to all the rights set forth in this Article XII with respect
to any Senior Indebtedness which may at any time be held by it, to the same
extent as any other holder of Senior Indebtedness; and nothing in Article VII
shall deprive the Trustee of any of its rights as such holder.  Nothing in this
Article XII shall apply to claims of, or payments to, the Trustee under or
pursuant to Section 7.06.

     SECTION 12.10. Distribution or Notice to Representative.  Whenever a
                    ----------------------------------------
distribution is to be made or a notice given to holders of Senior Indebtedness,
the distribution may be made and the notice given to their Representative (if
any).

     SECTION 12.11. Article XII Not to Prevent Defaults or Limit Right to
                    -----------------------------------------------------
Accelerate.  The failure to make a payment pursuant to the Debt Securities by
----------
reason of any provision in this Article XII shall not be construed as preventing
the occurrence of a Default. Nothing in this Article XII shall have any effect
on the right of the Holders or

                                       72
<PAGE>

the Trustee to accelerate the maturity of either the Subordinated Debt
Securities or the Debt Securities, as the case may be.

     SECTION 12.12. Trust Moneys Not Subordinated.  Notwithstanding anything
                    -----------------------------
contained herein to the contrary, payments from money or the proceeds of U.S.
Government Obligations held in trust under Article XI by the Trustee for the
payment of principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, the Subordinated
Debt Securities or the Debt Securities shall not be subordinated to the prior
payment of any Senior Indebtedness or subject to the restrictions set forth in
this Article XII, and none of the Holders thereof shall be obligated to pay over
any such amount to the Company or any holder of Senior Indebtedness of the
Company or any other creditor of the Company.

     SECTION 12.13. Trustee Entitled to Rely.  Upon any payment or distribution
                    ------------------------
pursuant to this Article XII, the Trustee and the Holders shall be entitled to
rely (a) upon any order or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction in which
any proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 12.02 are pending, (b) upon
a certificate of the liquidating trustee or agent or other Person making such
payment or distribution to the Trustee or to such Holders or (c) upon the
Representatives for the holders of Senior Indebtedness for the purpose of
ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such payment or
distribution, the holders of the Senior Indebtedness and other Indebtedness of
the Company, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid
or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article
XII. In the event that the Trustee determines, in good faith, that evidence is
required with respect to the right of any Person as a holder of Senior
Indebtedness to participate in any payment or distribution pursuant to this
Article XII, the Trustee may request such Person to furnish evidence to the
reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee as to the amount of Senior Indebtedness
held by such Person, the extent to which such Person is entitled to participate
in such payment or distribution and other facts pertinent to the rights of such
Person under this Article XII, 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. The provisions of
Sections7.01 and 7.02 shall be applicable to all actions or omissions of actions
by the Trustee pursuant to this Article XII.

     SECTION 12.14. Trustee to Effectuate Subordination.  Each Holder by
                    -----------------------------------
accepting a Subordinated Debt Security authorizes and directs the Trustee on his
behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to acknowledge or
effectuate the subordination between the Holders of Subordinated Debt Securities
and the holders of Senior Indebtedness as provided in this Article XII and
appoints the Trustee as attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes.

     SECTION 12.15. Trustee Not Fiduciary for Holders of Senior Indebtedness.
                    --------------------------------------------------------
The Trustee shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of
Senior Indebtedness and shall not be liable to any such holders if it shall
mistakenly pay over or distribute to Holders of Subordinated Debt Securities or
the Company or any other Person, money or assets to which any holders of Senior
Indebtedness shall be entitled by virtue of this Article XII or otherwise.

     SECTION 12.16. Reliance by Holders of Senior Indebtedness on Subordination
                    -----------------------------------------------------------
Provisions.  Each Holder by accepting a Subordinated Debt Security acknowledges
----------
and agrees that the foregoing subordination provisions are, and are intended to
be, an inducement and a consideration to each holder of any Senior Indebtedness,
whether such Senior Indebtedness was created or acquired before or after the
issuance of the Subordinated Debt Securities, to acquire and continue to hold,
or to continue to hold, such Senior Indebtedness and such holder of Senior
Indebtedness shall be deemed conclusively to have relied on such subordination
provisions in acquiring and continuing to hold, or in continuing to hold, such
Senior Indebtedness.
