Trustee an Officers' Certificate stating that all conditions precedent, if any,
provided for in this Indenture relating to the proposed action have been
complied with and an Opinion of Counsel stating that in the opinion of such

<PAGE>
                                      -10-

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

          opinion has read such covenant or condition and the definitions herein
          relating thereto;

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

          Person, such condition or covenant has been complied with.

SECTION 103. Form of Documents Delivered to Trustee.

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

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

<PAGE>
                                      -11-

that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to such matters
are erroneous.

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

SECTION 104. Acts of Holders.

     (a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver
or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Holders may
be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar
tenor signed by such Holders in person or by an agent duly appointed in writing;
and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become
effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee and,
where it is hereby expressly required, to the Company. Such instrument or
instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein
sometimes referred to as the "Act" of the Holders signing such instrument or
instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing
appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture
and (subject to Section 601) conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Company,
if made in the manner provided in this section.

     (b) The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing,
or the authority of the Person executing the same, may be proved in accordance
with such reasonable rules and regulations as may be prescribed by the Trustee
or in any reasonable manner which the Trustee deems sufficient.

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

     (d) If the Company shall solicit from the Holders any request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, the Company may,
at its option, by or pursuant to a Board Resolution, fix in advance a record
date for the determination of Holders entitled to give such request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, but the Company
shall have no obligation to do so. Notwithstanding Trust Indenture Act Section
316(c), such record date shall be the record date specified in or pursuant to
such Board Resolution, which shall be a date not earlier than the

<PAGE>
                                      -12-

date 30 days prior to the first solicitation of Holders generally in connection
therewith and not later than the date such solicitation is completed. If such a
record date is fixed, such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
consent, waiver or other Act maybe given before or after such record date, but
only the Holders of record at the close of business on such record date shall be
deemed to be Holders for the purposes of determining whether Holders of the
requisite proportion of Outstanding Securities shall be computed as of such
record date; provided, however, that no such authorization, agreement or consent
by such Holders on such record date shall be deemed effective unless it shall
become effective pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture not later than
eleven months after the record date.

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

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

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

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

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

                                      -13-

SECTION 106. Notice to Holders; Waiver.

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

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

SECTION 107. Conflict with Trust Indenture Act.

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

SECTION 108. Effect of Headings and Table of Contents.

     The article and section headings herein and the table of contents are for
convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.

SECTION 109. Successors and Assigns.

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

                                      -14-

SECTION 110. Separability Clause.

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

SECTION 111. Benefits of Indenture.

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

SECTION 112. Governing Law.

     This Indenture and the Securities shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

SECTION 113. Legal Holidays.

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

SECTION 114. References to Currency.

     All references in this Indenture to "dollars" or "$" are to the currency of
the United States of America.

SECTION 201. Forms Generally.

     The Securities of each series shall be in substantially the forms
established in one or more indentures supplemental hereto or approved from time
to time by or pursuant to a Board Resolution in accordance with Section 301, in
each case with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other
variations as are required or permitted by this Indenture and any indenture
supplemental hereto, and may have such letters, numbers or other marks of
identification and such legends or endorsements placed thereon as may be
required to comply with the rules of any securities exchange or securities
regulatory authority or as may, consistently herewith, be determined by the
officers executing such Securities, as evidenced by their execution of the
Securities. If the form of Securities of any series is established by action
taken pursuant to a Board Resolution, a copy of an appropriate record of such
action shall be certified by the secretary or an assistant secretary of the
Company and delivered to the Trustee at or prior to the delivery of the Company
Order contemplated by Section 303 for the authentication and delivery of such

                                         ,
                           as Trustee

                           By   ______________________________________________"

SECTION 203. Securities Issuable in the Form of a Global Security.

     (a) If the Issuer shall establish pursuant to Sections 201 and 301 that the
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 Issuer shall execute and the
Trustee shall, in accordance with Section 303 and the Company Order delivered to
the Trustee thereunder, 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 Securities of such
series to be represented by such Global Security or Securities; (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 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 SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY, THIS GLOBAL
SECURITY MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT AS A WHOLE (I) BY THE DEPOSITARY TO A
NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY OR (II) BY A NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY OR THE
DEPOSITARY TO A SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY OR A NOMINEE OF SUCH SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY.
UNLESS THIS CERTIFICATE IS PRESENTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE
DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY (55 WATER STREET, NEW YORK, NEW YORK) TO THE ISSUER OR
ITS AGENT FOR REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER, EXCHANGE OR PAYMENT AND ANY CERTIFICATE
ISSUED IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF CEDE & CO. OR SUCH OTHER NAME AS REQUESTED
BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY AND ANY PAYMENT
IS MADE TO CEDE & CO., ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR
OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL SINCE THE REGISTERED OWNER HEREOF,
CEDE & CO., HAS AN INTEREST HEREIN."

     (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this section or of Section 305,
unless the terms of a Global Security expressly permit such Global Security to
be exchanged in whole or in part for individual Securities, a Global Security
may be transferred, in whole but not in part and in the manner provided in
Section 305, only to another nominee of the Depositary for such Global Security,
or to a successor Depositary for such Global Security selected or approved by
the Issuer or to a nominee of such successor Depositary.

     (c) (i) If at any time the Depositary for a Global Security notifies the
Issuer that it is unwilling or unable to

<PAGE>
                                      -17-

continue as Depositary for such Global Security or if at any time the Depositary
for the Securities for such series shall no longer be eligible or in good
standing under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or other
applicable statute or regulation, the Issuer shall appoint a successor
Depositary with respect to such Global Security. If a successor Depositary for
such Global Security is not appointed by the Issuer within 90 days after the
Issuer receives such notice or becomes aware of such ineligibility, the Issuer
will execute a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of individual
Securities of such series in exchange for such Global Security, and the Trustee,
upon receipt of such Company Order, will authenticate and deliver individual
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.

     (ii) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or an
event shall have occurred which with the giving of notice or lapse of time or
both, would constitute an Event of Default with respect to the Securities
represented by such Global Security, the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company
Order for the authentication and delivery of individual Securities of such
series in exchange for such Global Security, will authenticate and deliver
individual 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.

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

     (iv) If specified by the Issuer pursuant to Section 301 with respect to
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 Securities of such series of like tenor and

<PAGE>
                                      -18-

terms in definitive form on such terms as are acceptable to the Issuer and such
Depositary. Thereupon the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver, without service charge, (1) to each Person specified
by such Depositary a new Security or Securities of the same series of like tenor
and terms and of any authorized denomination of $1,000 and any integral multiple
thereof 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 a
denomination equal to the difference, if any, between the principal amount of
the surrendered Global Security and the aggregate principal amount of Securities
delivered to Holders thereof.

     (v) In any exchange provided for in any of the preceding four paragraphs,
the Issuer will execute and the Trustee will authenticate and deliver individual
Securities in definitive registered form in authorized denominations of $1,000
and any integral multiple thereof. Upon the exchange of a Global Security for
individual Securities, such Global Security shall be cancelled by the Trustee.
Securities issued in exchange for a Global Security pursuant to this section
shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the
Depositary for such Global Security, pursuant to instructions from its direct or
indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee. The Trustee
shall deliver such Securities to the persons in whose names such Securities are
so registered.

     as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public or private
     debts;

          (11) if the principal of (and premium, if any), or interest, if any,

     currencies, including composite currencies, other than the currency of the
     United States of America, the equivalent price in the currency of the
     United States of America for purposes of determining the voting rights of
     Holders of such Securities as Outstanding Securities under this Indenture;

          (14) if the amount of payments of principal of (and premium, if any),
     or portions thereof, or interest, if any, on such Securities may be
     determined with reference to an index, formula or other method based on a
     coin or currency other than that in which such Securities are stated to be
     payable, the manner in which such amounts shall be determined;

          (15) any restrictive covenants or other material terms relating to the
     offered debt securities, which covenants and terms shall not be
     inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture;

          (16) whether the Securities of the series shall be issued in whole or
     in part in the form of a Global Security or Securities; the terms and

<PAGE>
                                      -21-

          (17) if other than as set forth in this Indenture, any terms with

          (18) any listing of such Securities on any securities exchange;

          (21) any other terms of the series, which terms shall not be

     All Securities of any one series shall be substantially identical except as
to denomination and except as may otherwise be provided in or pursuant to such
Board Resolution and set forth in such Officers' Certificate or in any such
indenture supplemental hereto. If any of the terms of the Securities of any
series are established by action taken pursuant to a Board Resolution, a copy of
an appropriate record of such action shall be certified by the secretary or an
assistant secretary of the Company and delivered to the Trustee at or prior to
the delivery of the Officers' Certificate setting forth the terms of the
Securities of any series.

SECTION 302. Denominations.

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

SECTION 303. Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating.

     The Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its chairman
of the board, a vice chairman, its president or one of its vice presidents,
under its corporate seal reproduced thereon attested by its secretary or one of
its

<PAGE>
                                      -22-

Assistant Secretaries. The signature of any of these officers on the Securities
may be manual or facsimile.

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

     At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this
Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities of any series executed by the
Company to the Trustee for authentication, together with a Company Order for the
authentication and delivery of such Securities, and the Trustee in accordance
with the Company Order shall authenticate and deliver such Securities. If the
form or terms of the Securities of the series have been established in or
pursuant to one or more Board Resolutions as permitted by Sections 201 and 301,
or by one or more indentures supplemental hereto as provided by Section 901, in
authenticating such Securities, and accepting the additional responsibilities
under this Indenture in relation to such Securities, the Trustee shall be
entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 601) shall be fully protected in
relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating,

          (a) that such form has been established in conformity with the
     provisions of this Indenture;

          (b) that such terms have been established in conformity with the
     provisions of this Indenture;

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

          (d) that all laws and requirements in respect of the execution and
     delivery by the Company of the Securities have been complied with; and

<PAGE>
                                      -23-

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

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

     Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication unless
otherwise provided by the terms established and contemplated by Section 301.

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

SECTION 304. Temporary Securities.

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

     If temporary Securities of any series are issued, the Company will cause
definitive Securities of that series to be prepared without unreasonable delay.
After the preparation of definitive Securities of such series, the temporary
Securities of such series shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities of
such series upon surrender of the temporary Securities of such series at the
office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment for that series, without
charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more
temporary Securities of any series the Company shall execute and the Trustee
shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of
definitive Securities of the same series of

<PAGE>
                                      -24-

authorized denominations. Until so exchanged the temporary Securities of any
series shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this
Indenture as definitive Securities of such series.

SECTION 305. Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange.

     The Company shall cause to be kept at one of its offices or agencies
maintained pursuant to Section 1002 or at the Corporate Trust Office of the
Trustee a register (the register maintained in such office and in any other
office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment being herein sometimes
collectively referred to as the "Security Register") in which, subject to
Section 203 and to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company
shall provide for the registration of Securities and of transfers of Securities.
The Trustee initially is hereby appointed "Security Registrar" for the purpose
of registering Securities and transfers of Securities as herein provided.

     Subject to Section 203, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any
Security of any series at the office or agency in a Place of Payment for that
series, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more
new Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of a like
aggregate principal amount.

     Subject to Section 203, at the option of the Holder, Securities of any
series may be exchanged for other Securities of the same series, of any
authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount, upon
surrender of the Securities to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever
any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and
the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities which the Holder
making the exchange is entitled to receive.

     Subject to Section 203, all Securities issued upon any registration or
transfer or exchange of Securities shall be valid obligations of the Company,
evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this
Indenture, as the Securities surrendered upon such registration of transfer or
exchange.

     Every Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for
exchange shall (if so required by the

<PAGE>
                                      -25-

Company or the Trustee) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security
Registrar duly executed, by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized
in writing.

     No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or
exchange of Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient
to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection
with any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, other than
exchanges pursuant to Section 203, 304, 906 or 1107 not involving any transfer.

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

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

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

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

     Upon the issuance of any new Security under this section, the Company may
require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental
charge that may be im-

<PAGE>
                                      -26-

posed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and
expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith.

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

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

SECTION 307. Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved.

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

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

          (1) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to
     the Persons in whose names the Securities of such series (or their
     respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business
     on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which
     shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the
     Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid
     on each Security of such series and the date of the proposed payment,

<PAGE>
                                      -27-

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

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

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

SECTION 308. Persons Deemed Owners.

     Subject to Section 203, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the
Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name such Security is
registered as the owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of
principal of (and premium, if any) and (subject to Section 307) interest on

<PAGE>
                                      -28-

such Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such
Security be overdue, and none of the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the
Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

SECTION 309. Cancellation.

     All Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of
transfer or exchange or for credit against any sinking fund payment shall, if
surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee
and shall be promptly cancelled by it. The Company may at any time deliver to
the Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and
delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner
whatsoever, and all Securities so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the
Trustee. No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any
Securities cancelled as provided in this section, except as expressly permitted
by this Indenture. The Trustee shall destroy cancelled Securities and deliver a
certificate of such destruction to the Company.

SECTION 310. Computation of Interest.

     Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for the
Securities of any series, interest on the Securities of each series shall be
computed on the basis of a year of 12 30-day months.

SECTION 401. Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture.

     This Indenture shall upon Company Request cease to be of further effect
with respect to any series of Securities (except as to (i) any surviving rights
of registration of transfer or exchange of Securities herein expressly provided
for; (ii) rights hereunder of Holders to receive payments of principal of, and
premium, if any, and interest on, Securities, and other rights, duties and
obligations of the Holders as beneficiaries hereof with respect to the amounts,
if any, so deposited with the Trustee; (iii) remaining obligations of the
Company to make mandatory sinking fund payments; and (iv) the rights,
obligations and immunities of the Trustee hereunder),

<PAGE>
                                      -29-

and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments
acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to any
series of Securities, when

          (1) either

               (A) all Securities of such series theretofore authenticated and
          delivered (other than (i) Securities of such series which have been
          mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been replaced or
          paid as provided in Section 306 and (ii) Securities of such series for
          whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust or
          segregated and held in trust by the Company and thereafter repaid to
          the Company or discharged from such trust, as provided in Section
          1003) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or

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

                    (i) have become due and payable, or

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

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

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

     (2) if all series of Securities are being discharged, the Company has paid
or caused to be paid all other sums payable hereunder by the Company; and

<PAGE>
                                      -30-

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

     Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the
obligations of the Company to the Trustee under Section 607, and, if money shall
have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Subclause (B) of Clause (1) of
this section, the obligations of the Trustee under Section 402 and the last
paragraph of Section 1003, shall survive.

SECTION 402. Application of Trust Funds; Indemnification.

     (a) Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 1003, all
money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 401, all money and U.S.
Government Obligations deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 403 or 404
and all money received by the Trustee in respect of U.S. Government Obligations
deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 403 or 404 shall be held in trust
and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Securities and this
Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent
(including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may
determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and premium, if
any) and interest for whose payment such money has been deposited with or
received by the Trustee or to make mandatory sinking fund payments or analogous

segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

     (b) The Company shall pay and shall indemnify the Trustee against any tax,
fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against U.S. Government Obligations
deposited pursuant to Section 403 or 404, or the interest and principal received

Holders.

     (c) The Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon
Company Request any U.S. Government Obligations or money held by it as provided
in Section 403 or 404 which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of
independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof
delivered to the Trustee, are then in excess of the amount thereof which then
would have been required to be depos-

<PAGE>
                                      -31-

ited for the purpose for which such obligations or money were deposited or
received.

SECTION 403. Defeasance and Discharge of Indenture.

     The Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire
indebtedness on all the Outstanding Securities on the 91st day after the date of

Request, execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except as to:

          (a) the rights of Holders of Securities to receive, from the trust
     funds described in subparagraph (d) hereof, (i) payment of the principal of

     specifically pledged as security for, and dedicated solely to, the benefit
     of the Holders of the Securities, (i) money in an amount, or (ii) U.S.
     Government Obligations which through the payment of interest and principal
     in respect thereof in accordance with their terms will provide not later
     than one day before the due date of any payment referred to in clause (A)
     or (B) of this subparagraph money in an amount, or (iii) a combination
     thereof, sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of

     certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay and discharge (A)
     the

<PAGE>
                                      -32-

     principal of (and premium, if any) and each installment of principal of

     due and payable in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and of the

          (e) such deposit shall not cause the Trustee with respect to the
     Securities to have a conflicting interest for purposes of the Trust
     Indenture Act with respect to the Securities;

          (f) such deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or
     constitute a default under, any applicable laws, this Indenture or any
     other agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which
     it is bound;

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

          (h) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate
     and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Company has received from,
     or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling to
     the effect that Holders of the Securities will not recognize income, gain
     or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit,
     defeasance and discharge and will be subject to Federal income tax on the
     same amount and in the same manner and at the same times, as would have
     been the case if such deposit, defeasance and discharge had not occurred.

SECTION 404. Defeasance of Certain Obligations.

     If this section is specified to be applicable to Securities of any series,
the Company may omit to comply with any term, provision or condition set forth
in the sections of this Indenture or such Security with respect to the
Securities of that series if

          (1) with reference to this section, the Company has deposited or
     caused to be irrevocably deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in
     trust, specifically pledged as

<PAGE>
                                      -33-

     security for, and dedicated solely to, the benefit of the Holders of the
     Securities of that series, (i) money in an amount, or (ii) U.S. Government
     Obligations which through the payment of interest and principal in respect
     thereof in accordance with their terms will provide not later than one day
     before the due date of any payment referred to in clause (A) or (B) of this
     subparagraph money in an amount, or (iii) a combination thereof,
     sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent
     public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered
     to the Trustee, to pay and discharge (A) the principal of (and premium, if
     any) and each installment of principal (and premium, if any) and interest
     on the Outstanding Securities of that series on the Stated Maturity of such
     principal or installment of principal or interest and (B) any mandatory
     sinking fund payments or analogous payments applicable to Securities of
     such series on the day on which such payments are due and payable in
     accordance with the terms of the Indenture and of such Securities;

          (2) such deposit shall not cause the Trustee with respect to the
     Securities of that series to have a conflicting interest for purposes of
     the Trust Indenture Act with respect to the Securities of any series;

          (3) such deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or
     constitute a default under, this Indenture or any other agreement or
     instrument to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound;

          (4) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate
     and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Company has received from,
     or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling to
     the effect that Holders of the Securities of such series will not recognize
     income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such
     deposit and defeasance of certain obligations and will be subject to
     Federal income tax on the same amount and in the same manner and at the
     same times, as would have been the case if such deposit and defeasance had
     not occurred; and

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

SECTION 501. Events of Default.

     "Event of Default" (except as otherwise specified or contemplated by
Section 301 for Securities of any series) wherever used herein with respect to
Securities of any series, means any one of the following events:

          (1) default in the payment of any interest upon any Security of that
     series when it becomes due and payable, and continuance of such default for
     a period of 30 days; or

          (2) default in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any,
     on) any Security of that series at its Maturity; or

          (3) default in the deposit of any sinking fund payment, when and as
     due by the terms of a Security of that series; or

          (4) default in the performance, or breach, of any material covenant or
     warranty of the Company in this Indenture (other than a covenant or
     warranty a default in whose performance or whose breach is elsewhere in
     this section specifically dealt with or which has expressly been included
     in this Indenture solely for the benefit of series of Securities other than
     that series) for a period of 60 days after there has been given, and
     continuance of such by registered or certified mail, to the Company by the
     Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in
     principal amount of the Outstanding Securities a written notice specifying
     such default or breach and requiring it to be remedied and stating that
     such notice is a "Notice of Default" hereunder; or

          (5) a default under any bond, debenture, note or other evidence of
     indebtedness of the Company for money borrowed (including a default with
     respect to Securities of any series other than that series) or under any
     mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be issued or by
     which there may be secured or evidenced any indebtedness of the Company for
     money borrowed (including this Indenture), whether such indebtedness now
     exists or

<PAGE>
                                      -35-

     shall hereafter be created, which default shall constitute a failure to pay
     an aggregate principal amount exceeding $10,000,000 of such indebtedness
     when due and payable after the expiration of any applicable grace period
     with respect thereto and shall have resulted in such indebtedness in an
     aggregate principal amount exceeding $10,000,000 becoming or being declared
     due and payable prior to the date on which it would otherwise have become
     due and payable, without such indebtedness having been discharged, or such
     acceleration having been rescinded or annulled, within a period of 30 days
     after there shall have been given, by registered or certified mail, to the
     Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of
     at least 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities a written
     notice specifying such default and requiring the Company to cause such
     indebtedness to be discharged or cause such acceleration to be rescinded or
     annulled and stating that such notice is a "Notice of Default" hereunder;
     provided, however, that if such Event of Default under such bond,
     debenture, note, mortgage, indenture or other instrument or evidence of
     indebtedness shall be remedied or cured by the Company or waived pursuant
     to such agreement or instrument, then, unless the maturity of the
     Securities shall have been accelerated as provided herein, the Event of
     Default hereunder by reason thereof shall be deemed likewise to have been
     thereupon remedied, cured or waived without further action upon the part of
     either the Trustee or the Holders. Subject to the provisions of Sections
     601 and 602, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of such
     default unless either (A) a Responsible Officer of the Trustee assigned to
     its Corporate Trust Department shall have actual knowledge of such default
     or (B) such Responsible Officer shall have received written notice thereof
     from the Company, from any Holder, from the holder of any such indebtedness
     or from the trustee under any such mortgage, indenture or other instrument;
     or

          (6) the entry by a court having jurisdiction in the premises of (A) a
     decree or order for relief in respect of the Company in an involuntary case
     or proceeding under any applicable United States or Canadian Federal, State
     or Provincial bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law
     or (B) a decree or order adjudging the Company a bankrupt or insolvent, or
     approving as properly filed a petition seeking reorganization, arrangement,
     adjustment or composition of or in respect of the Company under any
     applicable United States or Canadian Federal, State or

<PAGE>
                                      -36-

     Provincial law, or appointing a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee,
     trustee, sequestrator or other similar official of the Company or of any
     substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation
     of its affairs, and the continuance of any such decree or order for relief
     or any such other decree or order unstayed and in effect for a period of 60
     consecutive days; or

          (7) the commencement by the Company of a voluntary case or proceeding
     under any applicable United States or Canadian Federal, State or Provincial
     bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or of any other
     case or proceeding to be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or the
     consent by it to the entry of a decree or order for relief in respect of
     the Company in an involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable
     United States or Canadian Federal, State or Provincial bankruptcy,
     insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or to the commencement of
     any bankruptcy or insolvency case or proceeding against it, or the filing
     by it of a petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization or relief
     under any applicable United States or Canadian Federal, State or Provincial
     law, or the consent by it to the filing of such petition or to the
     appointment of or taking possession by a custodian, receiver, liquidator,
     assignee, trustee, sequestrator or similar official of the Company or of
     any substantial part of its property, or the making by it of an assignment
     for the benefit of creditors, or the admission by it in writing of its
     inability to pay its debts generally as they become due and its willingness
     to have a case commenced against it or to seek an order for relief under
     any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law or the taking of
     corporate action by the Company in furtherance of any such action; or

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

SECTION 502. Acceleration of Maturity: Rescission and Annulment.

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

<PAGE>
                                      -37-

terms of that series) of all of the Securities of that series to be due and
payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee
if given by Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal amount (or
specified amount) shall become immediately due and payable.

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

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

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

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

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

               (D) all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee and any predecessor
          Trustee hereunder and all sums due the Trustee and any predecessor
          Trustee under Section 607;

         and

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

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

                                      -38-

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

     The Company covenants that if

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

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

the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the
Holders of such Securities, the whole amount then due and payable on such
Securities for principal (and premium, if any) and interest and, to the extent
that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, interest on any
overdue principal (and premium, if any) and on any overdue interest, at the rate
or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities, and, in addition thereto, such
further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of
collection, including all amounts due the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee
under Section 607.

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

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

                                      -39-

SECTION 504. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

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

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

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

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or
other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by
each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the
Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to
pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other
amounts due the Trustee under Section 607.

     Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to
authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of
reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities
or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in
respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

                                      -40-

SECTION 505. Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Securities.

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

SECTION 506. Application of Money Collected.

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

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

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

          THIRD: To the Company.

SECTION 507. Limitation on Suits.

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

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

<PAGE>
                                      -41-

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

SECTION 509. Restoration of Rights and Remedies.

     If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any
right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued
or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or
to such

<PAGE>
                                      -42-

Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such
proceeding, the Company, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored severally
and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights
and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such
proceeding had been instituted.

SECTION 510. Rights and Remedies Cumulative.

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

SECTION 511. Delay or Omission Not Waiver.

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

SECTION 512. Control by Holders.

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

          (1) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or
     with this Indenture, expose the Trustee to personal liability or be unduly
     prejudicial to holders not joining therein, and

<PAGE>
                                      -43-

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

     Nothing in this Indenture shall impair the right of the Trustee to take any
other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such
direction.

SECTION 513. Waiver of Past Defaults.

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

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

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

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

SECTION 514. Undertaking for Costs.

     All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Security by his
acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its
discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under
this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken,
suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such
suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in
its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees,
against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and
good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the
provisions of this section shall not apply to any suit instituted by the
Company, to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any
Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the aggregate more than 10% in principal
amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series, or to any

<PAGE>
                                      -44-

suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the
principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Securities on or after the
Stated Maturity or Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of
redemption, on or after the Redemption Date).

SECTION 515. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws.

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

                                   ARTICLE SIX

                                   THE TRUSTEE

SECTION 601. Certain Duties and Responsibilities.

     (a) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default with respect to
the Securities of any series,

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

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

<PAGE>
                                      -45-

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

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

          (1) this subsection shall not be construed to limit the effect of
     Subsection (a) of this section;

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

          (3) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken
     or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction
     of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding
     Securities of any series, determined as provided in Section 512, relating
     to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy
     available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon
     the Trustee, under this Indenture with respect to the Securities of such
     series; and

          (4) no provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend
     or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the
     performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of
     its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing
     that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or
     liability is not reasonably assured to it.

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

to the Securities of any series, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all
Holders of Securities of such series, as their names and addresses appear in the
Security Register, notice of such default hereunder known to the Trustee, unless
such default shall have been cured or waived; provided, however, that, except in
the case of a default in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or
interest on any Security of such series or in the payment of any sinking fund
installment with respect to Securities of such series, the Trustee shall be
protected in withholding such notice if and so long as the board of directors,
the executive committee or a trust committee of directors or Responsible
Officers of the Trustee in good faith determines that the withholding of such
notice is in the interest of the Holders of Securities of such series; and
provided, further, that in the case of any default of the character specified in
Section 501(4) with respect to Securities of such series, no such notice to
Holders shall be given until at least 30 days after the occurrence thereof. For
the purpose of this section, the term "default" means any event which is, or

     document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry
     or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the
     Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it
     shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the
     Company, personally or by agent or attorney; and

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

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

     The recitals contained herein and in the Securities, except the Trustee's

<PAGE>
                                      -48-

denture or of the Securities. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use

     The Trustee, any Paying Agent, any Security Registrar or any other agent of
the Company, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or

other funds except to the extent required by law. The Trustee shall be under no
liability for interest on any money received by it hereunder except as otherwise
agreed with the Company.

SECTION 607. Compensation and Reimbursement.

     The Company agrees

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

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

          (3) to indemnify each of the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee for,
     and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense, arising
     out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the trust
     or trusts hereunder and the performance of its duties hereunder, including
     the costs and expenses of defending itself

<PAGE>
                                      -49-

     against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or
     performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder, except to the extent
     any such loss, liability or expense is due to its own negligence or bad
     faith.

     To ensure the performance of the obligations of the Company under this
section, the Trustee shall have a senior claim to which the Securities are
hereby made subordinate upon all property and funds held or collected by the
Trustee as such, except property and funds held in trust for the payment of
principal of, premium, if any, or interest on particular Securities.

SECTION 608. Disqualification; Conflicting Interests.

     The Trustee shall comply with the terms of Section 310(b) of the Trust
Indenture Act.

SECTION 609. Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility.

     There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder which shall be a
corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of
America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, authorized under such
laws to exercise corporate trust powers having a combined capital and surplus of
at least $50,000,000 subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State
authority. If such corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually,
pursuant to law or the requirements of said supervising or examining authority,
then for the purposes of this section, the combined capital and surplus of such
corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth
in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time the Trustee
shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this section, it
shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified
in this article.

SECTION 610. Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor.

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

     (b) The Trustee may resign at any time with respect to the Securities of
one or more series by giving written no-

<PAGE>
                                      -50-

tice thereof to the Company. If the instrument of acceptance by a successor
Trustee required by Section 611 shall not have been delivered to the Trustee
within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning
Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of
a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series. If the
acceptance of appointment is substantially contemporaneous with the resignation,
then the notice called for by the first sentence of this subsection may be
combined with the instrument called for by Section 611.

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

     (d) If at any time:

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

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

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

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

     (e) If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting,
or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause, with respect
to the Securities of one or more series, the Company, by a Board Resolution,
shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees with re-

<PAGE>
                                      -51-

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

     (f) The Company shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of
the Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series and each appointment of
a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series by mailing
written notice of such event by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to all
Holders of Securities of such series as their names and addresses appear in the
Security Register. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee
with respect to the Securities of such series and the address of its Corporate
Trust Office.

SECTION 611. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor.

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

<PAGE>
                                      -52-

pany or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its
charges, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor
Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee and shall duly
assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money
held by such retiring Trustee hereunder.

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

<PAGE>
                                      -53-

     (c) Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Company shall execute
any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming
to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred to in
paragraph (a) or (b) of this section, as the case may be.

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

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

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

SECTION 613. Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company

     If and when the Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the Company (or
any other obligor upon the Securities), the Trustee shall be subject to the
provisions of the Trust Indenture Act regarding the collection of claims against
the Company (or any such other obligor). A trustee who has resigned or been
removed shall be subject to the Trust Indenture Act Section 311(a) to the extent
provided therein.

                                  ARTICLE SEVEN

                HOLDERS' LISTS AND REPORTS BY TRUSTEE AND COMPANY

SECTION 701. Company to Furnish Trustee Names and Addresses of Holders.

     The Company will furnish or cause to be furnished to the Trustee with
respect to the Securities of each series

          (a) semi-annually, not more than fifteen days after each Regular
     Record Date, or, in the case of any series of Securities on which
     semi-annual interest is not payable, not more than fifteen days after such
     semi-annual dates as may be specified by the Trustee, a list, in such form
     as the Trustee may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of the
     Holders as of such Regular Record Date or such semi-annual date, as the
     case may be, and

          (b) at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, within
     30 days after the receipt by the Company of any such request, a list of
     similar form and content as of a date not more than 15 days prior to the
     time such list is furnished;

provided, however, that so long as the Trustee is the Security Registrar, no
such list need be furnished.

SECTION 702. Preservation of Information; Communications to Holders.

     (a) The Trustee shall preserve, in as current a form as is reasonably
practicable, the names and addresses of Holders contained in the most recent
list furnished to the Trustee as provided in Section 701 and the names and
addresses of Holders received by the Trustee in its capacity as Security
Registrar. The Trustee may destroy any list furnished to it as provided in
Section 701 upon receipt of a new list so furnished.

     (b) If three or more Holders (herein referred to as "applicants") apply in
writing to the Trustee, and furnish to the Trustee reasonable proof that each
such applicant has owned a Security for a period of at least six months
preceding the date of such application, and such application states that the
applicants' desire to communicate with other Holders with respect to their
rights under this Indenture or under the Securities and is accompanied by a copy
of the form of proxy or other

<PAGE>
                                      -55-

communication which such applicants propose to transmit, then the Trustee shall,
within five Business Days after the receipt of such application, at its
election, either

          (i) afford such applicants access to the information preserved at the
     time by the Trustee in accordance with Section 702(a), or

          (ii) inform such applicants as to the approximate number of Holders
     whose names and addresses appear in the information preserved at the time
     by the Trustee in accordance with Section 702(a), and as to the approximate
     cost of mailing to such Holders the form of proxy or other communication,
     if any, specified in such application.

     If the Trustee shall elect not to afford such applicants access to such
information, the Trustee shall, upon the written request of such applicants,
mail to each Holder whose name and address appear in the information preserved
at the time by the Trustee in accordance with Section 702(a) a copy of the form
of proxy or other communication which is specified in such request, with
reasonable promptness after a tender to the Trustee of the material to be mailed
and of payment, or provision for the payment, of the reasonable expenses of
mailing, unless within five days after such tender the Trustee shall mail to
such applicants and file with the Commission, together with a copy of the
material to be mailed, a written statement to the effect that, in the opinion of
the Trustee, such mailing would be contrary to the best interest of the Holders
or would be in violation of applicable law. Such written statement shall specify
the basis of such opinion. If the Commission, after opportunity for a hearing
upon the objections specified in the written statement so filed, shall enter an
order refusing to sustain any of such objections or if, after the entry of an
order sustaining one or more of such objections, the Commission shall find,
after notice and opportunity for hearing, that all the objections so sustained
have been met and shall enter an order so declaring, the Trustee shall mail
copies of such material to all such Holders with reasonable promptness after the
entry of such order and the renewal of such tender; otherwise the Trustee shall
be relieved of any obligation or duty to such applicants respecting their
application.

     (c) Every Holder of Securities, by receiving and holding the same, agrees
with the Company and the Trustee that neither the Company nor the Trustee nor
any agent of either of them shall be held accountable by reason of the
disclosure of any such information as to the names and addresses of the Hold-

<PAGE>
                                      -56-

ers in accordance with Section 702(b), regardless of the source from which such
information was derived, and that the Trustee shall not be held accountable by
reason of mailing any material pursuant to a request made under Section 702(b).

     (d) Subject to Sections 702(a), 702(b), 702(c) and 601, if the Company or
any other person (other than the Trustee) shall desire to communicate with
Holders of Securities to solicit or obtain from them any proxy, consent,
authorization, waiver, approval of a plan of reorganization, arrangement or
readjustment or other action ("Holder Action"), the Trustee shall have no duty
to participate in such communication or solicitation or the processing of
responses in any manner except (i) to furnish the rules and regulations and to
perform the functions referred to in Section 104 and (ii) to receive (A) the
instruments evidencing the Holder Action together with (B) the Officers'
Certificate and Opinion of Counsel referred to below. The Company hereby
covenants that any and all communications and solicitations distributed by it in
connection with any Holder Action will comply in all material respects with
applicable law, including without limitation applicable law concerning adequacy
of disclosure. The Trustee shall have no responsibility for the accuracy or
completeness of any materials circulated to solicit any Holder Action nor for
any related communications nor for the compliance thereof with applicable law.
No Holder Action shall become effective until the Trustee shall have received
from the Company or other person who solicited the Holder Action (1) the
instruments evidencing such Holder Action (2) (x) (in the case of Holder Action
solicited by the Company or the representative of the Company's estate if the
Company is the debtor in any bankruptcy or other insolvency proceeding) an
Officers' Certificate and (y) (in all cases) an Opinion of Counsel, each
specifying the Holder Action taken and stating that such Holder Action has been
duly and validly taken in compliance with this Indenture in all material
respects. Such Officers' Certificate, if any, shall also certify that (after
giving effect to such Holder Action) no Event of Default or event or condition
which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would become an Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing or has not been waived.

     (e) The Depositary may grant proxies and otherwise authorize its
participants which own the Global Securities to give or take any Act which a
Holder is entitled to take under the Indenture; provided, however, that the
Depositary has delivered a list of such participants to the Trustee.

     rules and regulations prescribe) which the Company may be required to file
     with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the
     Securities Exchange Act of 1934; or, if the Company is not required to file

SECTION 801. Company May Consolidate, Etc., Only on Certain Terms.

     The Company shall not consolidate with or merge into any other corporation
or convey, transfer or lease its properties and assets substantially as an
entirety to any Person, and the Company shall not permit any Person to
consolidate with or merge into the Company or convey, transfer or lease its
properties and assets substantially as an entirety to the Company, unless:

          (1) in case the Company shall consolidate with or merge into another
     corporation or convey, transfer or lease its properties and assets
     substantially as an entirety to any Person, the corporation formed by such
     consolidation or into which the Company is merged or the Person which
     acquires by conveyance or transfer, or which leases, the properties and
     assets of the Company substantially as an entirety shall be a corporation
     organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America or
     Canada, any State or Province, as applicable, thereof or the District of
     Columbia and shall expressly assume, by an indenture supplemental hereto,
     executed and delivered to the Trustee, in form satisfactory to the Trustee,
     the due and punctual payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and
     interest on all the Securities and the performance of every covenant of
     this Indenture on the part of the Company to be performed or observed;

          (2) immediately after giving effect to such transaction and treating
     any indebtedness which becomes an obligation of the Company or a Subsidiary
     as a result of such transaction as having been incurred by the Company or
     such Subsidiary at the time of such transaction, no Event of

<PAGE>
                                      -59-

     Default, and no event which, after notice or lapse of time or both, would
     become an Event of Default, shall have happened and be continuing; and

          (3) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate
     and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger,
     conveyance, transfer or lease and, if a supplemental indenture is required
     in connection with such transaction, such supplemental indenture comply
     with this article and that all conditions precedent herein provided for
     relating to such transaction have been complied with.

SECTION 802. Successor Corporation Substituted.

     Upon any consolidation by the Company with or merger by the Company into
any other corporation or any conveyance, transfer or lease of the properties and
assets of the Company substantially as an entirety in accordance with Section
801, the successor corporation formed by such consolidation or into which the
Company is merged or to which such conveyance, transfer or lease is made shall
succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of,
the Company under this Indenture with the same effect as if such successor
corporation has been named as the Company herein, and thereafter, except in the
case of a lease, the predecessor corporation shall be relieved of all
obligations and covenants under this Indenture and the Securities.

     Such successor corporation may cause to be signed, and may issue either in
its own name or in the name of the Company prior to such succession, any or all
of the Securities issuable hereunder which theretofore shall not have been
signed by the Company and delivered to the Trustee; and, upon the order of such
successor corporation 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 Securities which previously shall have been
signed and delivered by the officers of the Company to the Trustee for
authentication pursuant to such provisions and any Securities which such
successor corporation thereafter shall cause to be signed and delivered to the
Trustee on its behalf for that purpose pursuant to such provisions. All
Securities so issued in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under
this Indenture as Securities theretofore or thereafter issued in accordance with
the terms of this Indenture as though all such Securities had been issued prior
to the date of such succession. In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale
or con-

<PAGE>
                                      -60-

veyance, such changes in phraseology and form may be made in the Securities
thereafter to be issued as may be appropriate.

                                  ARTICLE NINE

                             SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES

SECTION 901. Supplemental Indentures without Consent of Holders.

     Without the consent of any Holders, the Company, when authorized by a Board
Resolution, and the Trustee, at any time and from time to time, may enter into
one or more indentures supplemental hereto, in form satisfactory to the Trustee,
for any of the following purposes:

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

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

          (3) to add any additional Events of Default; or

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

          (5) to change or eliminate any of the provisions of this Indenture,
     provided that any such change or elimination shall become effective only
     when there is no Security Outstanding of any series created prior to the
     execution of such supplemental indenture which is entitled to the benefit
     of such provision; or

          (6) to secure the Securities; or

<PAGE>
                                      -61-

          (7) to establish the form or terms of Securities of any series as
     permitted by Sections 201 and 301; or

          (8) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment
     hereunder by a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or
     more series and to add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture
     as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of
     the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, pursuant to the requirements
     of Section 611(b); or

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

          (10) to provide for uncertificated Securities in addition to and in
     place of certificated Securities; provided that the Company has, by
     adopting a Board Resolution, elected to provide for uncertificated
     Securities.

SECTION 902. Supplemental Indentures with Consent of Holders.

     With the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal
amount of the Outstanding Securities of all series affected by such supplemental
indenture (taken together as one class), by Act of said Holders delivered to the
Company and the Trustee, the Company, when authorized by a Board Resolution, and
the Trustee may enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for
the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating
any of the provisions of this Indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights
of the Holders of Securities of such series under this Indenture; provided,
however, that no such supplemental indenture shall, without the consent of the
Holder of each Outstanding Security affected thereby,

          (1) change the Stated Maturity of the principal of, or any installment
     of principal of or interest on, any Security, or reduce the principal
     amount thereof or the rate of interest thereon or any premium payable upon
     the redemption thereof, or reduce the amount of the principal of an
     Original Issue Discount Security that would be due and payable upon a
     declaration of acceleration of the Maturity thereof pursuant to Section
     502, or the method in which

<PAGE>
                                      -62-

     amounts of payments of principal or interest thereon are determined, or
     change any Place of Payment where, or the coin or currency in which, any
     Security or any premium or the interest thereon is payable, or impair the
     right to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after
     the Stated Maturity thereof (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the
     Redemption Date), or

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

          (3) modify any of the provisions of this section, Section 513 or
     Section 1008, except to increase any such percentage or to provide that
     certain other provisions of this Indenture cannot be modified or waived
     without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security affected
     thereby, provided, however, that this clause shall not be deemed to require
     the consent of any Holder with respect to changes in the references to "the
     Trustee" and concomitant changes in this section and Section 1008, or the
     deletion of this proviso, in accordance with the requirements of Sections
     611(b) and 901(8).

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

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

SECTION 903. Execution of Supplemental Indentures.

     In executing, or accepting the additional trusts created by, any
supplemental indenture permitted by this article or the modifications thereby of
the trusts created by this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive,
and (subject

<PAGE>
                                      -63-

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

SECTION 904. Effect of Supplemental Indentures.

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

SECTION 905. Conformity with Trust Indenture Act.

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

SECTION 906. Reference in Securities to Supplemental Indentures.

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

                                   ARTICLE TEN

                                    COVENANTS

SECTION 1001. Payment of Principal, Premium and Interest.

     The Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of each series of
Securities that it will duly and punctually pay

<PAGE>
                                      -64-

the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Securities of that
series in accordance with the terms of the Securities and this Indenture. At the
option of the Company, payment of principal (and premium, if any) and interest
may be made by wire transfer or (subject to collection) by check mailed to the
address of the Person entitled thereto at such address as shall appear in the
Security Register.

SECTION 1002. Maintenance of Office or Agency.

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

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

     The Company shall file with the Trustee and transmit by mail to all
Holders, as their names and addresses appear in the Security Register, within 15
days after it files them with the Commission, copies of its annual report and
the information, documents and other reports (or copies of such portions of any
of the foregoing as the Commission may by rule and regulation prescribe) which
the Company is required to file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or
15(d) of the Exchange Act. Notwithstanding that the Company may not be required
to

<PAGE>
                                      -65-

remain subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the
Exchange Act or otherwise report on an annual and quarterly basis on the forms
provided for such annual and quarterly reporting pursuant to rules and
regulations promulgated by the Commission, the Company shall continue to file
with the Commission and provide to the Trustee and Holders (a) within 140 days
after the end of each fiscal year, annual reports on Form 20-F or 40-F as
applicable (or any successor form), containing the information required to be
contained therein (or required in such successor form); and (b) within 60 days
after the end of each of the first three fiscal quarters of each fiscal year,
reports on Form 6-K (or any successor form), containing the information which,
regardless of applicable requirements shall, at a minimum, contain such
information required to be provided in quarterly reports under the laws of
Canada or any province thereof to security holders of a corporation with
securities listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange, whether of not the Company has
any of its securities so listed. Each of such reports will be prepared in
accordance with Canadian disclosure requirements and generally accepted
accounting principles in the United states, provided, however, that the Company
shall not be so obligated to file such reports with the Commission if the
Commission does not permit such filings.

SECTION 1003. Money for Securities; Payments to Be Held in Trust.

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

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

<PAGE>
                                      -66-

     The Company will cause each Paying Agent for any series of Securities other
than the Trustee to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which
such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of
this section, that such Paying Agent will:

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

          (2) give the Trustee notice of any default by the Company (or any
     other obligor upon the Securities of that series) in the making of any
     payment of principal (and premium, if any) or interest on the Securities of
     that series; and

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

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

     Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by
the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any)
or interest on any Security of any series and remaining unclaimed for two years
after such principal (and premium, if any) or interest has become due and
payable shall be paid to the Company on Company Request, or (if then held by the
Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Security
shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look, only to the Company
for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with
respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee
thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such
Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the
expense of the Company cause to be mailed or published once, in a news-

<PAGE>
                                      -67-

paper published in the English language, customarily published on each Business
Day and of general circulation in the City, County and State of New York, or
both, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified
therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such mailing or
publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid
to the Company.

     The Company shall have no obligation to make payment of principal of (or
premium, if any) or interest on any Security in immediately available funds,
except that if the Company shall have received original payment for Securities
in immediately available funds it shall make available immediately available
funds for payment of the principal of such Securities.

SECTION 1004. Corporate Existence.

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

SECTION 1005. Maintenance of Properties.

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

<PAGE>
                                      -68-

SECTION 1006. Payment of Taxes.

     The Company will pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged, before
the same shall become delinquent, all material taxes, assessments and
governmental charges lawfully levied or imposed upon the Company or upon the
income, profits or property of the Company; provided, however, that the Company
shall not be required to pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged any
such tax, assessment or charge whose legality, amount, applicability or validity
is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings.

SECTION 1007. Statement by Officers as to Default.

     The Company will deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of
each fiscal year of the Company ending after the date hereof, a certificate of
the principal executive officer, principal financial officer or principal
accounting officer of the Company stating whether or not to the best knowledge
of the signers thereof the Company is in default in the performance and
observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Indenture, and
if the Company shall be in default, specifying all such defaults and the nature
and status thereof of which they may have knowledge.

SECTION 1008. Waiver of Certain Covenants.

     The Company may omit in any particular instance to comply with any term,
provision or condition set forth in Section 1007 if before or after the time for
such compliance the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities (taken together as one class) shall, by Act of such
Holders, either waive such compliance in such instance or generally waive
compliance with such term, provision or condition except to the extent so
expressly waived, and, until such waiver shall become effective, the obligations
of the Company and the duties of the Trustee in respect of any such term,
provision or condition shall remain in full force and effect.

                                 ARTICLE ELEVEN

                            REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES

SECTION 1101. Applicability of Article.

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

SECTION 1102. Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee.

     The election of the Company to redeem any Securities shall be evidenced by
a Board Resolution. In case of any redemption at the election of the Company of
less than all the Securities of any series, the Company shall, at least 30 days
prior to the Redemption Date fixed by the Company (unless a shorter notice shall
be satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the Trustee of such Redemption Date and
of the principal amount of Securities of such series to be redeemed, such notice
to be accompanied by a written statement signed by an authorized officer of the
Company stating that no defaults in the payment of interest or Events of Default
with respect to the Securities of that series have occurred (which have not been
waived or cured). In the case of any redemption of Securities prior to the
expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided in the terms of such
Securities or elsewhere in this Indenture, the Company shall furnish the Trustee
an Officers' Certificate evidencing compliance with such restriction.

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

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

<PAGE>
                                      -70-

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

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

SECTION 1104. Notice of Redemption.

     Notice of redemption shall be given by first-class mail, postage prepaid,
mailed not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, to
each Holder of Securities to be redeemed, at his address appearing in the
Security Register. Any notice which is mailed in the manner herein provided
shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not such
Holder receives the notice. Failure to give notice by mail, or any defect in the
notice to any such Holder in respect of any Security, shall not affect the
validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Security.

     All notices of redemption shall state:

          (1) the Redemption Date,

          (2) the Redemption Price and any accrued interest,

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

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

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

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

<PAGE>
                                      -71-

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

SECTION 1105. Deposit of Redemption Price.

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

SECTION 1106. Securities Payable on Redemption Date.

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

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

     The Trustee shall not redeem any Securities of any series pursuant to this
article (unless all Outstanding Securities of such series are to be redeemed) or
mail or give any notice of redemption of Securities during the continuance of an
Event of Default hereunder known to the Trustee with respect to such series,
except that, where the mailing of notice of redemption of any Securities shall
theretofore have been made, the Trustee shall redeem or cause to be redeemed
such Securities, provided that it shall have received from the Company a

<PAGE>
                                      -72-

sum sufficient for such redemption. Except as aforesaid, any moneys theretofore
or thereafter received by the Trustee shall, during the continuance of such
Event of Default, be deemed to have been collected under Article Five and held
for the payment of all such Securities of such series. In case such Event of
Default shall have been waived as provided in Section 513 or the default cured
on or before the sixtieth day preceding the Redemption Date, such moneys shall
thereafter be applied in accordance with the provisions of this article.

SECTION 1107. Securities Redeemed in Part.

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

                                 ARTICLE TWELVE

                                  SINKING FUNDS

SECTION 1201. Applicability of Article.

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

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

<PAGE>
                                      -73-

redemption of Securities of any series as provided for by the terms of
Securities of such series.

SECTION 1202. Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments with Securities.

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

SECTION 1203. Redemption of Securities for Sinking Fund.

     Not less than 60 days prior to each sinking fund payment date for any
series of Securities, the Company (1) will deliver to the Trustee an Officers'
Certificate (A) stating that no defaults in the payment of interest or Events of
Default with respect to Securities of that series have occurred (which have not
been waived or cured), (B) specifying the amount of the next ensuing sinking
fund payment for that series pursuant to the terms of Securities of that series,
(C) stating whether or not the Company intends to exercise its right, if any, to
make an optional sinking fund payment with respect to such series on the next
ensuing sinking fund payment date and, if so, specifying the amount of such
optional sinking fund payment and (D) specifying the portion of such sinking
fund payment, if any, which is to be satisfied by payment of cash and the
portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting
Securities of that series pursuant to Section 1202 and (2) will also deliver to
the Trustee any Securities to be so delivered. Not less than 30 days before each
such sinking fund payment date the Trustee shall select the Securities of such
series to be redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date in the manner
specified in Section 1103 and cause notice of the redemption thereof to be given
in the name of and at the expense of the Company in the manner provided in
Section

<PAGE>
                                      -74-

1104. Such notice having been duly given, the redemption of such Securities
shall be made upon the terms and in the manner stated in Sections 1105, 1106 and
1107. Failure of the Company, on or before any such 60th day, to deliver such
Officers' Certificate and Securities specified in this section, if any, shall
not constitute a default but shall constitute, on and as of such date, the
irrevocable election of the Company (a) that the mandatory sinking fund payment
for such series due on the next succeeding sinking fund payment date shall be
paid entirely in cash without the option to deliver or credit Securities of such
series in respect thereof and (b) that the Company will make no optional sinking
fund payment with respect to Securities of such series as provided in this
article.

     The Trustee shall not redeem or cause to be redeemed any Security of a
series with sinking fund moneys or mail any notice of redemption of Securities
of such series by operation of the sinking fund during the continuance of a
default in payment of interest on such Securities or of any Event of Default
with respect to such series except that, where the mailing of notice of
redemption of any Securities shall therefore have been made, the Trustee shall
redeem or cause to be redeemed such Securities, provided that it shall have
received from the Company a sum sufficient for such redemption. 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 the sinking fund, shall, during the continuance of such default or Event of
Default, be deemed to have been collected under Article Five and held for the
payment of all such Securities of such series. In case such Event of Default
shall have been waived as provided in Section 513 or the default cured on or
before the 60th day preceding the sinking fund payment date, such moneys shall
thereafter be applied on the next succeeding sinking fund payment date in
accordance with this section to the redemption of such Securities.

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

                                ARTICLE THIRTEEN

                                  SUBORDINATION

SECTION 1301. Agreement to Subordinate.

     (a) The Company covenants and agrees, and each Holder of Securities issued
hereunder by such Holder's acceptance thereof likewise covenants and agrees,
that (except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for
Securities of any series) all Securities shall be issued subject to the
provisions of this article; and each Holder of a Security, whether upon original
issue or upon transfer or assignment thereof, accepts and agrees to be bound by
such provisions.

     (b) The payment by the Company of the principal of, and interest on, the
Securities issued hereunder shall, to the extent and in the manner hereinafter
set forth, be subordinated and junior in right of payment to the prior payment
in full of all Senior Indebtedness of the Company, whether outstanding at the
date of this Indenture or thereafter incurred.

     (c) No provision of this article shall prevent the occurrence of any
default or Event of Default hereunder.

SECTION 1302. Default on Senior Indebtedness.

     (a) No payment of principal (including redemption payments) or interest on
the Securities may be made (i) if any Senior Indebtedness of the Company is not
paid when due and any applicable grace period with respect to a payment default
on Senior Indebtedness has ended and such default has not been cured or waived
or ceased to exist, or (ii) if the maturity of any Senior Indebtedness of the
Company has been accelerated because of a default and either such acceleration
has not been rescinded or such Senior Indebtedness has not been repaid in
accordance with its terms.

     (b) Upon a default with respect to any Senior Indebtedness (other than
under circumstances when the terms of paragraph (a) of this section are
applicable), as such default is defined therein or in the instrument under which
it is outstanding, permitting the holders to accelerate the maturity thereof,
upon written notice thereof given to the Company and the Trustee by or on behalf
of holders of such Senior Indebtedness (a "Default Notice"), then, unless and
until such default shall have been cured or waived by the holders of such Senior

<PAGE>
                                      -76-

Indebtedness or shall have ceased to exist, no payment of principal (including
redemption payments) or interest on the Securities of such series or to acquire
any of such Securities or on account of the redemption provisions of the
Securities of such series; provided, however, that this paragraph (b) shall not
prevent the making of any payment (which is not otherwise prohibited by
paragraph (a)) for more than 179 days after the Default Notice shall have been
given unless the Senior Indebtedness in respect of which such event of default
exists has been declared due and payable in its entirety, in which case no such
payment may be made until such acceleration has been rescinded or annulled or
such Senior Indebtedness has been paid in full.

     (c) In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment shall be
received by the Trustee when such payment is prohibited by the preceding
paragraph of this section, such payment shall be held in trust for the benefit
of, and shall be paid over or delivered to, the holders of Senior Indebtedness
or their respective representatives, or to the trustee or trustees under any
indenture pursuant to which any instruments evidencing such Senior Indebtedness
may have been issued, as their respective interests may appear, as calculated by
the Company, to the extent necessary to pay such Senior Indebtedness in full, in
cash, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to or for
the benefit of the holders of such Senior Indebtedness, before any payment or
distribution is made to the Holders or to the Trustee.

SECTION 1303. Liquidation; Dissolution; Bankruptcy.

     (a) Upon any distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or
character, whether in cash, property or securities, to creditors upon any
dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization of the Company, whether
voluntary or involuntary, or in bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other
proceedings, all principal, premium, if any, and interest due to all Senior
Indebtedness of the Company shall first be paid in full before the Holders are
entitled to receive or retain any payment; and upon any such dissolution or
winding-up or liquidation or reorganization, any payment by the Company, or
distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character whether in cash,
property or securities, which the Holders or the Trustee would be entitled to
receive from the Company, except for the provisions of this article, shall be
paid by the Company or by any receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating
trustee, agent or other Person making such payment or distribution, or by the
Holders or by the Trustee under this Indenture

<PAGE>
                                      -77-

if received by them or it, directly to the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the
Company or their respective representatives, or to the trustee or trustees under
any indenture pursuant to which any instruments evidencing such Senior
Indebtedness may have been issued, as their respective interests may appear, as
calculated by the Company, to the extent necessary to pay such Senior
Indebtedness in full, in cash, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or
distribution to or for the benefit of the holders of such Senior Indebtedness,
before any payment or distribution is made to the Holders or to the Trustee.

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

     (c) For purposes of this article, the words "cash, property or securities"
shall not be deemed to included shares of stock of the Company as reorganized or
readjusted, or securities of the Company or any other corporation provided for
by a plan of reorganization or readjustment, the payment of which is
subordinated at least to the extent provided in this article with respect to the
Securities to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness of the Company that may at
the time be outstanding; provided, however, that (i) such Senior Indebtedness is
assumed by the new corporation, if any, resulting from any such reorganization
or readjustment, and (ii) the rights of the holders of such Senior Indebtedness
are not, without the consent of such holders, altered by such reorganization or
readjustment. The amalgamation or consolidation of the Company with, or the
merger of the Company into, another corporation or the liquidation or
dissolution of the Company following the conveyance or transfer of its
properties or assets substantially as an en-

                                      -78-

tirety, to another corporation upon the terms and conditions provided for in
Article Eight of this Indenture shall not be deemed a dissolution, winding-up,
liquidation or reorganization for the purposes of this Section 1303 if such
other corporation shall, as part of such amalgamation, consolidation, merger,
conveyance or transfer, comply with the conditions stated in Article Eight of
this Indenture. Nothing in Section 1302 or in this section shall apply to claims
of, or payments to, the Trustee under or pursuant to Section 607 of this
Indenture.

     (d) If the Trustee or any Holder of Securities does not file a proper claim
or proof of debt in the form required in any proceeding referred to above prior
to 30 days before the expiration of the time to file such claim in such
proceeding, then the holder of any Senior Indebtedness is hereby authorized, and
has the right, to file an appropriate claim or claims for or on behalf of such
Holder of Securities.

SECTION 1304. Subrogation.

     (a) Subject to the payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness of the
Company then outstanding, the rights of the Holders shall be subrogated to the
rights of the holders of such Senior Indebtedness to receive payments or
distributions of cash, property or securities of the Company applicable to such
Senior Indebtedness until the principal of and interest on the Securities shall
be paid in full; and, for the purposes of such subrogation, no payments or
distributions to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness of any cash, property
or securities to which the Holders or the Trustee would be entitled except for
the provisions of this article, and no payment over pursuant to the provisions
of this article to or for the benefit of the holders of such Senior Indebtedness
by Holders or the Trustee, shall, as between the Company, its creditors other
than holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company, and the Holders, be deemed
to be a payment by the Company to or on account of such Senior Indebtedness. It
is understood that the provisions of this article are and are intended solely
for the purposes of defining the relative rights of the Holders, on the one
hand, and the holders of such Senior Indebtedness, on the other hand.

     (b) Nothing contained in this article or elsewhere in this Indenture or in
the Securities is intended to or shall impair, as between the Company, its
creditors other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company, and the
Holders, the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to
pay to the Holders the principal of and interest on the Securities as and when
the same shall become due and pay-

<PAGE>
                                      -79-

able in accordance with their terms, or is intended to or shall affect the
relative rights of the Holders and creditors of the Company other than the
holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company nor shall anything herein or
therein prevent the Trustee or any Holder of Securities from exercising all
remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon default under this
Indenture, subject to the rights, if any, under this article of the holders of
such Senior Indebtedness in respect of cash, property or securities of the
Company received upon the exercise of any such remedy.

     (c) Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Company referred to
in this article, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 601 of this
Indenture, and the Holders shall be entitled to rely conclusively upon any order
or decree made by any court of competent jurisdiction in which such dissolution,
winding-up, liquidation or reorganization proceedings are pending, or a
certificate of the receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidation trustee, agent
or other Person making such payment or distribution, delivered to the Trustee or
the Holders, for the purposes of ascertaining the Persons entitled to
participate in such distribution, the holders of Senior Indebtedness and other
indebtedness of the Company the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or
amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to
this article.

SECTION 1305. Trustee to Effectuate Subordination

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

SECTION 1306. Notice by the Company.

     (a) The Company shall give prompt written notice to a Responsible
Officer of the Trustee of any fact known to the Company that would prohibit the
making of any payment of monies to or by the Trustee in respect of the
Securities pursuant to the provisions of this article. Notwithstanding the
provisions of this article or any other provision of this Indenture, the Trustee
shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of any facts that would
prohibit the making of any payment of monies to or by the Trustee in respect of
the Securities pursuant to the provisions of this article, unless and until a
Responsi-

<PAGE>
                                      -80-

ble Officer of the Trustee shall have received written notice thereof from the
Company or a Holder or holders of Senior Indebtedness or from any representative
or trustee therefor; and before the receipt of any such written notice, the
Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 601 of this Indenture, shall be
entitled in all respects to assume that no such facts exist; provided, however,
that if the Trustee shall not have received the notice provided for in this
section at least two Business Days prior to the date upon which by the terms
hereof any money may become payable for any purpose (including, without
limitation, the payment of the principal of or interest on any Security), then,
anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall
have full power and authority to receive such money and to apply the same to the
purposes for which such money was received, and shall not be affected by any
notice to the contrary that may be received by it within two Business Days prior
to such date.

     (b) The Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 601 of this
Indenture, shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the delivery to it of a
written notice by a Person representing himself to be a holder of Senior
Indebtedness of the Company (or a trustee or representative on behalf of such
holder), to establish that such notice has been given by a holder of such Senior
Indebtedness or a trustee or representative on behalf of any such holder or
holders. In the event that the Trustee determines in good faith that further
evidence is required with respect to the right of any Person as a holder of such
Senior Indebtedness to participate in any payment or distribution pursuant to
this article, the Trustee may request such Person to furnish evidence to the
reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee as to the amount of such Senior
Indebtedness held by such Person, the extent to which such Person is entitled to
participate in such payment or distribution and any other facts pertinent to the
rights of such Person under this article and, if such evidence is not furnished,
the Trustee may defer any payment to such Person pending judicial determination
as to the right of such Person to receive such payment.

SECTION 1307. Rights of the Trustee; Holders of Senior Indebtedness.

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

<PAGE>
                                      -81-

     (b) With respect to the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company, the
Trustee undertakes to perform or to observe only such of its covenants and
obligations as are specifically set forth in this article and no implied
covenants or obligations with respect to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness
shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee. The Trustee shall not be
deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness and,
subject to the provisions of Section 601 of this Indenture, the Trustee shall
not be liable to any holder of such Senior Indebtedness if it shall pay over or
deliver to Holders, the Company or any other Person money or assets to which any
holder of such Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled by virtue of this article
or otherwise.

SECTION 1308. Subordination May Not Be Impaired.

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

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

<PAGE>
                                      -82-

     (c) Each present and future holder of Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled
to the benefit of the provisions of this article notwithstanding that such
holder is not a party to this Indenture.

SECTION 1309. Article Applicable to Paying Agents.

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

SECTION 1310. Defeasance of this Article.

     Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, payments from
cash or the proceeds of United States Government Obligations held in trust under
Article Four hereof by the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee) and which were
deposited in accordance with the terms of Article Four hereof and not in
violation of Section 1302 hereof for the payment of principal of and interest on
the Securities shall not be subordinated to the prior payment of any Senior
Indebtedness or subject to the restrictions set forth in this article, and none
of the Holders shall be obligated to pay over any such amount to the Company or
any holder of Senior Indebtedness or any other creditor of the Company.

SECTION 1311. Subordination Language to be Included in Securities

     Each Security shall contain a subordination provision which will be
substantially in the following form:

     "The Securities are subordinated in right of payment, in the manner and to
the extent set forth in the Indenture, to the prior payment in full of all
Senior Indebtedness (as defined in the Indenture, or as set forth in one or more
indentures supplemental hereto, a Board Resolution in accordance with Section
301 of the Indenture or in this Security). Each Holder by accepting a Security
agrees to such subordination and authorizes the Trustee to give it affect."

                  IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this
Indenture to be duly executed all as of the day and year first above written.
