            This Fourth Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (this
"Amendment"), dated as of April 28, 2000, is made by and between GROW BIZ
INTERNATIONAL, INC. and GROW BIZ GAMES, INC., each a Minnesota corporation (each
a "Borrower" and collectively the "Borrowers"), and TCF NATIONAL BANK, a
national banking association formerly known as TCF National Bank Minnesota (the
"Bank").

                                    RECITALS

            The Borrowers and the Bank have entered into an Amended and Restated
Credit Agreement dated as of October 14, 1998, as amended by a letter agreement
amendment dated as of July 29, 1999, a Second Amendment to Amended and Restated
Credit Agreement dated as of August 31, 1999 and a Third Amendment to Amended

            The Borrowers are currently in default of various financial
covenants under the Credit Agreement and have requested that such defaults be
waived by the Bank and that the maturity of the Credit Agreement be extended.
The Bank has agreed to waive such defaults and extend the maturity to July 31,
2000, provided that certain amendments are made to the Credit Agreement and
certain conditions are satisfied, as set forth herein. In addition, the
Borrowers have requested the consent of the Bank to the sale of one of the
Borrowers' stores, which consent the Bank has agreed to provide on the terms and
subject to the conditions set forth herein.

            NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the mutual
covenants and agreements herein contained, it is agreed as follows:

1. Defined Terms. Capitalized terms used in this Amendment which are defined in
the Credit Agreement shall have the same meanings as defined therein, unless

2. The Revolving Loan. Section 3.2(a) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended
in its entirety to read as follows:

      "General Terms and Conditions. The Bank agrees, on the terms and
      conditions herein set forth, to make Revolving Advances to the Borrowers
      from time to time from the date hereof to and including July 31, 2000, or
      the earlier termination of the Commitment to make Revolving Advances
      pursuant to Section 9.2 hereof, in an aggregate amount not to exceed at
      any time outstanding the lesser of (i) the Revolving Commitment Amount or
      (ii) the Borrowing Base. The minimum amount of each Revolving Advance
      shall be $50,000. Within the above limits, the Borrowers may borrow,
      prepay and reborrow Revolving Advances under this Section 3.2(a). From and
      after the date of the first Revolving Advance, accrued interest on the
      Revolving Note shall be due and payable monthly, commencing on the tenth
      (10th) day of the month following the date of the first Revolving Advance,
      and on the same day of each month thereafter until payment in full of the
      Revolving Note. On the Revolving Loan Maturity Date the remaining unpaid
      principal balance of the Revolving Advances and all accrued and unpaid
      interest shall be due and payable."

3. Normal Rate of Interest on Revolving Note. Section 3.2(d) of the Credit
Agreement is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:

            "(d) Normal Rate of Interest. The principal balance of the Revolving
      Note outstanding from time to time shall bear interest from the date
      hereof until paid in full at an annual rate which shall at all times be
      equal to the Base Rate plus one percent (1.00%), which annual rate shall
      change when and as the Base Rate changes; subject, however, to imposition
      of the Default Rate pursuant to Section 4.5."

4. Term Loan B. Section 3.3(a) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended in its
entirety to read as follows:

            "(a) General Terms and Conditions. The Bank made Term Loan B
      Advances to the Borrowers during the period from October 14, 1998 to and
      including March 31,

                                      -2-
<PAGE>

      1999, on which date the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Term Loan
      B Advances was $8,000,000. The Bank has no obligation to make any
      additional Term Loan B Advances. The Term Loan B Advances shall be
      repayable in monthly installments of principal and interest, which such
      payments began on April 1, 1999. On May 10, 2000, June 10, 2000 and July
      10, 2000, accrued interest for the previous month shall be due and
      payable, together, each such month, with a principal payment in the amount
      of $150,000. On July 31, 2000 (the 'Term Loan B Maturity Date'), the
      remaining principal balance of the Term Loan B Advances together with all
      accrued and unpaid interest thereon shall be due and payable. Such monthly
      payment amount may change as the interest rate changes due to any
      implementation of the Default Rate. As of April 28, 2000, the outstanding
      principal balance of the Term Loan B Advances was $6,500,000."

5. Existing Term Loan. Section 3.4(a) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended
in its entirety to read as follows:

            "(a) General Terms and Conditions. On August 8, 1997, the Bank made
      a single advance term loan to International in the amount of $4,500,000
      (the "Existing Term Loan Advance"). The Existing Term Loan shall be repaid
      by the Borrowers in equal principal payments of $75,000 per month, which
      such payments began on October 10, 1997, and shall continue until July 31,
      2000 (the 'Existing Term Loan Maturity Date'), at which time a final
      payment of the remaining unpaid principal balance and all accrued and
      unpaid interest thereon shall be made. Interest on the Existing Term Loan
      Advance shall be payable monthly on the tenth (10th) day of the next
      succeeding month and at maturity or earlier prepayment in full. As of
      April 28, 2000, the outstanding principal balance of the Existing Term
      Loan Advance was $2,175,000."

            "Section 7.11 - RESERVED."

                                      -3-

All references to "Section 7.11" elsewhere in the Credit Agreement are

replaced with the following:

            "Section 7.13 - RESERVED."

All references to "Section 7.13" elsewhere in the Credit Agreement are

10. Application of Tax Refund to Obligations. Section 7.14 of the Credit
Agreement is hereby amended to read as follows:

      "Section 7.14 Application of Tax Refund. The Borrowers hereby acknowledge
      and agree that any and all tax refunds to be received by either of them
      are subject to the Bank's first prior security interest therein and
      further agree to deliver to the Bank, properly endorsed, any check and
      direct to the Bank any wire transfer, in each case, for application to the
      Obligations, with respect to any tax refund or other payment made by a
      taxing authority (federal, state or otherwise) to or for the benefit of
      either of the Borrowers, and to take such other steps as the Bank shall
      request regarding any such tax refund or other payment in order to give
      effect to this Section 7.14. Notwithstanding Section 4.3 or any other
      provision of this Agreement, any and all such tax refunds shall be
      applied: first to payment or prepayment of all monthly principal
      installments due or to become due on the Term Loan B Advances and the
      Existing Term Loan Advances pursuant to Section 3.3(a) and Section 3.4(a),
      respectively; second to prepayment of the remainder of the Term Loan B
      Advances and the Existing Term Loan Advances in such order as the Bank may
      determine in its sole discretion until the Term Loan B Advances and the
      Existing Term Loan Advances have been fully repaid; and third to payment
      of the other Obligations in such order as the Bank may determine in its
      sole discretion. The Bank waives any prior notice requirement under
      Section 3.2(f), Section 3.3(f) and Section 3.4(d) for prepayments made
      from tax refunds under this Section."

11. Waiver of Defaults. The Borrowers are in default of the financial covenants
set forth in Sections 7.10, 7.11, 7.12 and 7.13 of the Credit Agreement for
periods through March 31,

                                      -4-
<PAGE>

2000 (collectively, the "Defaults"). Upon the terms and subject to the
conditions set forth in this Amendment, the Bank hereby waives the Defaults.
This waiver shall be effective only in this specific instance and for the
specific purpose for which it is given, and this waiver shall not entitle either
Borrower to any other or further waiver in any similar or other circumstances.

         12. Consent to Sale of Hennepin Avenue Store. The Borrowers have
negotiated a sale of their store located at 3505 Hennepin Avenue South,
Minneapolis, Minnesota 55408, and certain personal property located at that
store, on terms previously disclosed to the Bank. Such sale would violate
Section 8.9 of the Credit Agreement which, among other things, prohibits either
Borrower from selling a substantial part of its assets to any Person other than
in the ordinary course of business, and Section 3(a) of the Security Agreement
dated as of October 14, 1998 between the Borrowers and the Bank (the "Security
Agreement"), which, among other things, prohibits either Borrower from selling
or otherwise disposing of any Collateral (as defined in the Security Agreement).
The Borrowers have requested that the Bank consent to this transaction.

         The Bank hereby consents to this certain transaction upon the terms and
subject to the conditions set forth in this Amendment. The Borrowers acknowledge
that the proceeds of the above-referenced sale shall constitute proceeds of
Collateral (as defined in the Security Agreement). As a requirement of this
consent, the Borrowers shall cause such sale proceeds to be delivered directly
to the Bank for application to the Obligations in the same manner as set forth
for application of tax refunds under Section 7.14 of the Credit Agreement (as
amended by this Amendment). This consent shall be effective only in this
specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it is given, and this
consent shall not entitle the Borrowers to any other or further consent in any
similar or other circumstances.

13. No Other Changes. Except as explicitly amended by this Amendment, all of the
terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement shall remain in full force and
effect and shall apply to any advance or letter of credit thereunder.

14. Representations and Warranties. The Borrowers hereby represent and warrant
to the Bank as follows:

            (a) The Borrowers have all requisite power and authority to execute
      this Amendment and to perform all of their obligations hereunder, and this
      Amendment has been duly executed and delivered by the Borrowers and

      enforceable in accordance with its terms.

            (b) The execution, delivery and performance by the Borrowers of this
      Amendment have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action and

      instrumentality, domestic or foreign, (ii) violate any provision of any

      or by-laws of the Borrowers, or (iii) result in a breach of or constitute
      a default under any indenture or loan or credit agreement or any other
      agreement, lease or instrument to which either Borrower is a party or by
      which it or its properties may be bound or affected.

            (c) All of the representations and warranties contained in Article
      VI of the Credit Agreement are true and correct on and as of the date
      hereof as though made on and as of such date, except to the extent that
      such representations and warranties relate solely to an earlier date.

15. Conditions Precedent. This Amendment, the waiver set forth in Section 11
hereof, and the consent set forth in Section 12 hereof, shall be effective when
the Bank shall have received a fully executed original hereof, together with

sole discretion:

      of July 29, 1999) as being authorized to sign and to act on behalf of such
      Borrower continue to be so authorized or setting forth the sample
      signatures of each of the officers and agents of such Borrower authorized

insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or
representations by, counsel, unless such officer knows, or in the exercise of
reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations
with respect to the matters upon which such officer's certificate or opinion is

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

                                       8
<PAGE>

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.

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

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

          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.

          The Company may set any day as a record date for the purpose of
determining the Holders of Outstanding Securities of any series entitled to
give, make or take any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
consent, waiver or other action provided or permitted by this Indenture to be
given, made or taken by Holders of Securities of such series, provided that the
Company may not set a record date for, and the provisions of this paragraph
shall not apply with respect to, the giving or making of any notice,
declaration, request or direction referred to in the next paragraph.  If any
record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding
Securities of the relevant series on such record date, and no other Holders,
shall be entitled to take the relevant action, whether or not such Holders
remain Holders after such record date; provided that no such action shall be
effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date
by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of such
series on such record date.  Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to
prevent the Company from setting a new record date for any action for which a
record date has previously been set pursuant to this paragraph (whereupon the
record date previously set shall automatically and with no action by any Person
be canceled and of no effect), and nothing in this paragraph shall be construed
to render ineffective any action taken by Holders of the requisite principal
amount of Outstanding Securities of the relevant series on the date such action
is taken.  Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the
Company, at its own expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the
proposed action by Holders and the applicable Expiration Date to be given to the
Trustee in writing and to each Holder of Securities of the relevant series in
the manner set forth in Section 106.

          The Trustee may set any day as a record date for the purpose of
determining the Holders of Outstanding Securities of any series entitled to join
in the giving or making of (i) any Notice of Default, (ii) any declaration of
acceleration referred to in Section 502, (iii) any request to institute
proceedings referred to in Section 507(2) or (iv) any direction referred to in
Section 512, in each case with respect to Securities of such series.  If any
record date is set pursuant to

                                       9
<PAGE>

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

          With respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section, the
party hereto which sets such record dates may designate any day as the
"Expiration Date" and from time to time may change the Expiration Date to any
earlier or later day; provided that no such change shall be effective unless
notice of the proposed new Expiration Date is given to the other party hereto in
writing, and to each Holder of Securities of the relevant series in the manner
set forth in Section 106, on or prior to the existing Expiration Date.  If an
Expiration Date is not designated with respect to any record date set pursuant
to this Section, the party hereto which set such record date shall be deemed to
have initially designated the 180th day after such record date as the Expiration
Date with respect thereto, subject to its right to change the Expiration Date as
provided in this paragraph.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Expiration Date
shall be later than the 180th day after the applicable record date.

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

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

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

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

                                       10
<PAGE>

     office specified in the first paragraph of this instrument or at any other
     address previously furnished in writing to the Trustee by the Company.

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 (if any), and not earlier than the earliest date (if any),
prescribed for the giving of such notice.  In any case where notice to Holders
is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any
notice so mailed, to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such
notice with respect to other Holders.  Where this Indenture provides for notice
in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to
receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be
the equivalent of such notice.  Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with
the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity
of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.

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

SECTION 107.   Conflict with Trust Indenture Act.

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

SECTION 108.   Effect of Headings and Table of Contents.

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

SECTION 109.   Successors and Assigns.

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

SECTION 110.   Separability Clause.

          In case any provision in this Indenture or 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 WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS
OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF.

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
(other than a provision of any Security which specifically states that such
provision shall apply in lieu of this Section)) payment of interest or principal
(and premium, if any) need not be made at such Place of Payment on such date,
but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day at such Place of Payment
with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date or
Redemption Date, or at the Stated Maturity, and no additional interest shall
accrue as the result of such delayed payment.

Optional Reset Date, the Trustee shall transmit, in the manner provided for in
Section 106 of the Indenture, to the Holder of this Security a notice (the
"Reset Notice") indicating whether the Company has elected to reset the interest

spread multiplier, if applicable) and (ii) the provisions, if any, for
redemption during the period from such Optional Reset Date to the next Optional
Reset Date or if there is no such next Optional Reset Date, to the Stated
Maturity of this Security (each such period a "Subsequent Interest Period"),
including the date or dates on which or the period or periods during which and
the price or prices at which such redemption may occur during the Subsequent
Interest Period.

          Notwithstanding the foregoing, not later than 20 days prior to the
Optional Reset Date, the Company may, at its option, revoke the interest rate
(or the spread or spread multiplier used to calculate such interest rate, if
applicable) provided for in the Reset Notice and establish an interest rate (or
a spread or spread multiplier used to calculate such interest rate, if
applicable) that is higher than the interest rate (or the spread or spread
multiplier, if applicable) provided for in the Reset Notice, for the Subsequent
Interest Period by causing the Trustee to transmit, in the manner provided for
in Section 106 of the Indenture, notice of such higher interest rate (or such
higher spread or spread multiplier, if applicable) to the Holder of this
Security.  Such notice shall be irrevocable.  All Securities of this series with
respect to which the interest rate (or the spread or spread multiplier used to
calculate such interest rate, if applicable) is reset on an Optional Reset Date,
and with respect to which the Holders of such Securities have not tendered such
Securities for repayment (or have validly revoked any such tender) pursuant to
the next succeeding paragraph, will bear such higher interest rate (or such
higher spread or spread multiplier, if applicable).

          The Holder of this Security will have the option to elect repayment by
the Company of the principal of this Security on each Optional Reset Date at a
price equal to the principal amount hereof plus interest accrued to such
Optional Reset Date.  In order to obtain repayment on an Optional Reset Date,
the Holder must follow the procedures set forth in Article Thirteen of the
Indenture for repayment at the option of Holders except that the period for
delivery or notification to the Trustee shall be at least 25 but not more than
35 days prior to such Optional Reset Date and except that, if the Holder has
tendered this Security for repayment pursuant to the Reset Notice, the Holder
may, by written notice to the Trustee, revoke such tender or repayment until the
close of business on the tenth day before such Optional Reset Date.]

          [If applicable, insert --  The Stated Maturity of this Security may be
extended at the option of the Company for _______________ (each an "Extension
Period") up to but not beyond ____________ (the "Final Maturity").  The Company
may exercise such option with respect to this Security by notifying the Trustee
of such exercise at least 50 but not more than 60 days prior to the Stated
Maturity of this Security in effect prior to the exercise of such option (the
"Original Stated Maturity").  If the Company exercises such option, the Trustee
shall transmit, in the manner provided for in Section 106 of the Indenture, to
the Holder of this Security not later than 40 days prior to the Original Stated
Maturity a notice (the "Extension Notice") indicating (i) the election of the
Company to extend the Maturity, (ii) the new Stated Maturity, (iii) the interest
rate applicable to the Extension Period and (iv) the provisions, if any, for
redemption during such Extension Period.  Upon the Trustee's transmittal of the
Extension Notice, the Stated Maturity of this Security shall be extended
automatically and, except as modified by the Extension Notice and as described
in the next paragraph, this Security will have the same terms as prior to the
transmittal of such Extension Notice.

          Notwithstanding the foregoing, not later than 20 days before the
Original Stated Maturity of this Security, the Company may, at its option,
revoke the interest rate provided for in the Extension Notice and establish a
higher interest rate for the Extension Period by causing the Trustee to
transmit, in the manner provided for in Section 106, notice of such higher
interest rate to the Holder of this Security.  Such notice shall be irrevocable.
All Securities of this series with respect to which the Stated Maturity is
extended will bear such higher interest rate.

          If the Company extends the Maturity of this Security, the Holder will
have the option to elect repayment of this Security by the Company on the
Original Stated Maturity at a price equal to the principal amount hereof, plus
interest accrued to such date.  In order to obtain repayment on the Original
Stated Maturity once the Company has extended the Maturity hereof, the Holder
hereof must follow the procedures set forth in Article Thirteen of the Indenture
for repayment at the option of Holders, except that the period for delivery or
notification to the Trustee shall be at least 25 but not more than 35 days prior
to the Original Stated Maturity and except that, if the Holder has tendered this
Security for repayment pursuant to an Extension Notice, the Holder may, by
written notice to the Trustee, revoke such tender for repayment until the close
of business on the tenth day before the Original Stated Maturity.]

          (23) the terms of any right to convert or exchange Securities of such
     series into any other securities or property of the Company, and the
     additions or changes, if any, to

                                       23
<PAGE>

     this Indenture with respect to the Securities of such series to permit or
     facilitate such conversion or exchange;

          (24) the terms and conditions, if any, pursuant to which the
     Securities of the series are secured;

          (25) any restriction or condition on the transferability of the
     Securities of such series; and

          (26) any other terms of the Securities of such series (which terms
     shall not be inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture, except as
     permitted by Section 901(5)).

          All Securities of any one series shall be substantially identical
except as to denomination and except as may otherwise be provided herein or in
or pursuant to the Board Resolution referred to above and (subject to Section
303) set forth, or determined in the manner provided, in the Officers'
Certificate referred to above 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 or Company Order setting forth the terms of the series.

SECTION 302.   Denominations.

          The Securities of each series shall be issuable only in registered
form without coupons and only in such denominations as shall be specified as
contemplated by Section 301.  In the absence of any such specified denomination
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, its Chief Executive Officer, its Chief Financial Officer,
its President or one of its Vice Presidents, under its corporate seal reproduced
or impressed thereon and attested by its Secretary or one of its 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

                                       24
<PAGE>

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 by or pursuant to one or more Board
Resolutions as permitted by Sections 201 and 301, in authenticating such
Securities, and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture
in relation to such Securities, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and
(subject to Section 601) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of
Counsel stating,

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

          (2)  if the terms of such Securities have been established by or
     pursuant to Board Resolution as permitted by Section 301, that such terms
     have been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture;
     and

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

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

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

          Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication.

          No Security shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or
be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Security a
certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein
executed by the Trustee by the manual signature of one of its authorized
signatories, and such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive
evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated
and delivered hereunder.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Security shall
have been authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the
Company, and the Company shall deliver such Security to the Trustee for
cancellation as provided in Section 310, for all purposes of this Indenture such
Security shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered
hereunder and shall never be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.

                                       25

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 of such series 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 one or more
definitive Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of
like tenor and aggregate principal amount.  Until so exchanged, the temporary
Securities of any series shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits
under this Indenture as definitive Securities of such series and tenor.

SECTION 305.   Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange.

          The Company shall cause to be kept at the [Corporate Trust Office] of
the Trustee a register (the register maintained in such office and in any other
office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment being herein sometimes
collectively referred to as the "Security Register") in which, subject to such
reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the
registration of Securities and of transfers of Securities.  The Trustee is
hereby appointed "Security Registrar" for the purpose of registering Securities
and transfers of Securities as herein provided.  If any indenture supplemental
hereto refers to any transfer agents (in addition to the Security Registrar)
initially designated by the Company with respect to any series of Securities,
the Company may at any time rescind the designation of any such transfer agent
or approve a change in the location through which any such transfer agent acts,
provided that the Company maintains a transfer agent in each Place of Payment
for such series. The Company may at any time designate additional transfer
agents with respect to any series of Securities.

          Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Security of a
series at the office or agency of the Company 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 like
tenor and aggregate principal amount.

          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
like tenor and aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Securities to
be exchanged at such office or agency.

                                       26
<PAGE>

Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall
execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities which
the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

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

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

          No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or
exchange of Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient
to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection
with any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities.

          Neither the Trustee nor the Company shall be required, pursuant to the
provisions of this Section, (A) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange
any Securities of any series (or of any series and specified tenor, as the case
may be) during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the
day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of any such Securities selected for
redemption under Section 1103 and ending at the close of business on the day of
such mailing, or (B) to register the transfer of or exchange any Security so
selected for redemption, in whole or in part, except, in the case of any
Security to be redeemed in part, any portion not to be redeemed.

          The provisions of Clauses (1), (2), (3) and (4) below shall apply only
to Global Securities:

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

          (2) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, no Global
     Security may be exchanged in whole or in part for Securities registered,
     and no transfer of a Global Security in whole or in part may be registered,
     in the name of any Person other than the Depositary for such Global
     Security or a nominee thereof unless (A) such Depositary (i) has notified
     the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for
     such Global Security or (ii) has ceased to be a clearing agency registered
     under the Exchange Act at a time when the Depositary is required to be so
     registered to act as depositary, in each case, unless the Company has
     approved a successor Depositary within 90 days, (B) there shall have
     occurred and be continuing an Event of Default with respect to such Global
     Security, (C) the Company in its sole discretion determines that

                                       27
<PAGE>

     such Global Security will be so exchangeable or transferable or (D) there
     shall exist such circumstances, if any, in addition to or in lieu of the
     foregoing as have been specified for this purpose as contemplated by
     Section 301.

          (3) Subject to Clause (2) above, any exchange of a Global Security for
     other Securities may be made in whole or in part, and all Securities issued
     in exchange for a Global Security or any portion thereof shall be
     registered in such names as the Depositary for such Global Security shall
     direct.

          (4)  Every Security authenticated and delivered upon registration of
     transfer of, or in exchange for or in lieu of, a Global Security or any
     portion thereof, whether pursuant to this Section, Section 304, 306, 906 or
     1107 or otherwise, shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and
     shall be, a Global Security, unless such Security is registered in the name
     of a Person other than the Depositary for such Global Security or a nominee
     thereof.

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

          If any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee together with
such security or indemnity as may be required by the Company or the Trustee to
save each of them harmless, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a new Security of the same series
and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not
contemporaneously outstanding.

          If there shall be delivered to the Company and the Trustee (i)
evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security
and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of
them and any agent of either of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to
the Company or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a bona fide
purchaser, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new Security
of the same series and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number
not contemporaneously outstanding.  If, after the delivery of such new Security,
a bona fide purchaser of the original Security in lieu of which such new
Security was issued presents for payment or registration such original Security,
the Trustee shall be entitled to recover such new Security from the party to
whom it was delivered or any party taking therefrom, except a bona fide
purchaser, and shall be entitled to recover upon the security or indemnity
provided therefor to the extent of any loss, damage, cost or expense incurred by
the Company and the Trustee in connection therewith.

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

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

                                       28
<PAGE>

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

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

SECTION 307.   Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved; Optional Interest
Reset.
          (a) Except as otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 301 with
respect to any series of Securities, interest on any Security of any series
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 in respect of Securities of such series,
except that, unless otherwise provided in the Securities of such series,
interest payable on the Stated Maturity of the principal of a Security shall be
paid to the Person to whom principal is paid. The initial payment of interest on
any Security of any series which is issued between a Regular Record Date and the
related Interest Payment Date shall be payable as provided in such Security or
in the Board Resolution pursuant to Section 301 with respect to the related
series of Securities. Except in the case of a Global Security, at the option of
the Company, interest on any series of Securities may be paid (i) by check
mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as it shall appear on the
Security Register of such series or (ii) by wire transfer in immediately
available funds at such place and to such account as designated in writing by
the Person entitled thereto as specified in the Security Register of such
series.

          Any Paying Agents will be identified in a supplemental indenture
hereto. The Company may at any time designate additional Paying Agents or
rescind the designation of any Paying Agent; however, the Company at all times
will be required to maintain a Paying Agent in each Place of Payment for each
series of Securities.

          Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 301 with respect
to any series of Securities, any interest on any Security of any series which is
payable, but is not timely paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment
Date for Securities of such series (herein called "Defaulted Interest") shall
forthwith cease to be payable to the registered 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 in respect of
     which interest is in default (or their respective Predecessor Securities)
     are registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the
     payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following
     manner.  The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of
     Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Security of such series and
     the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall
     deposit with the Trustee

                                       29
<PAGE>

     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 given to each Holder of Securities of such
     series in the manner set forth in Section 106, 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 or automated quotation system
     on which such Securities may be listed or traded, and upon such notice as
     may be required by such exchange or automated quotation system, if, after
     notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant
     to this Clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the
     Trustee.

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

          (b) The provisions of this Section 307(b) may be made applicable to
any series of Securities pursuant to Section 301 (with such modifications,
additions or substitutions as may be specified pursuant to such Section 301).
The interest rate (or the spread or spread multiplier used to calculate such
interest rate, if applicable) on any Security of such series may be reset by the
Company on the date or dates specified on the face of such Security (each an
"Optional Reset Date").  The Company may exercise such option with respect to
such Security by notifying the Trustee of such exercise at least 50 but not more
than 60 days prior to an Optional Reset Date for such Security.  Not later than
40 days prior to each Optional Reset Date, the Trustee shall transmit, in the
manner provided for in Section 106, to the Holder of any such Security a notice
(the "Reset Notice") indicating whether the Company has elected to reset the
interest rate (or the spread or spread multiplier used to calculate such
interest rate, if applicable), and if so (i) such new interest rate (or such new
spread or spread multiplier, if applicable) and (ii) the provisions, if any, for
redemption during the period from such Optional Reset Date to the next Optional
Reset Date or if there is no such next Optional Reset Date, to the Stated
Maturity of such Security (each such period a "Subsequent Interest Period"),
including the date or dates on

                                       30
<PAGE>

which or the period or periods during which and the price or prices at which
such redemption may occur during the Subsequent Interest Period.

          Notwithstanding the foregoing, not later than 20 days prior to the
Optional Reset Date, the Company may, at its option, revoke the interest rate
(or the spread or spread multiplier used to calculate such interest rate, if
applicable) provided for in the Reset Notice and establish an interest rate (or
a spread or spread multiplier used to calculate such interest rate, if
applicable) that is higher than the interest rate (or the spread or spread
multiplier, if applicable) provided for in the Reset Notice, for the Subsequent
Interest Period by causing the Trustee to transmit, in the manner provided for
in Section 106, notice of such higher interest rate (or such higher spread or
spread multiplier, if applicable) to the Holder of such Security.  Such notice
shall be irrevocable.  All Securities with respect to which the interest rate
(or the spread or spread multiplier used to calculate such interest rate, if
applicable) is reset on an Optional Reset Date, and with respect to which the
Holders of such Securities have not tendered such Securities for repayment (or
have validly revoked any such tender) pursuant to the next succeeding paragraph,
will bear such higher interest rate (or such higher spread or spread multiplier,
if applicable).

          The Holder of any such Security will have the option to elect
repayment by the Company of the principal of such Security on each Optional
Reset Date at a price equal to the principal amount thereof plus interest
accrued to such Optional Reset Date.  In order to obtain repayment on an
Optional Reset Date, the Holder must follow the procedures set forth in Article
Thirteen for repayment at the option of Holders except that the period for
delivery or notification to the Trustee shall be at least 25 but not more than
35 days prior to such Optional Reset Date and except that, if the Holder has
tendered any Security for repayment pursuant to the Reset Notice, the Holder
may, by written notice to the Trustee, revoke such tender or repayment until the
close of business on the tenth day before such Optional Reset Date.

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

SECTION 308.   Optional Extension of Maturity.

          The provisions of this Section 308 may be made applicable to any
series of Securities pursuant to Section 301 (with such modifications, additions
or substitutions as may be specified pursuant to such Section 301). The Stated
Maturity of any Security of such series may be extended at the option of the
Company for the period or periods specified on the face of such Security (each
an "Extension Period") up to but not beyond the date (the "Final Maturity") set
forth on the face of such Security.  The Company may exercise such option with
respect to any Security by notifying the Trustee of such exercise at least 50
but not more than 60 days prior to the Stated Maturity of such Security in
effect prior to the exercise of such option (the "Original Stated Maturity").
If the Company exercises such option, the Trustee shall transmit, in the manner
provided for in Section 106, to the Holder of such Security not later than 40
days prior to the Original Stated Maturity a notice (the "Extension Notice")
indicating (i) the election of the Company to extend the Maturity, (ii) the new
Stated Maturity, (iii) the interest rate applicable to the Extension Period and
(iv) the provisions, if any, for redemption during such Extension

                                       31
<PAGE>

Period. Upon the Trustee's transmittal of the Extension Notice, the Stated
Maturity of such Security shall be extended automatically and, except as
modified by the Extension Notice and as described in the next paragraph, such
Security will have the same terms as prior to the transmittal of such Extension
Notice.

          Notwithstanding the foregoing, not later than 20 days before the
Original Stated Maturity of such Security, the Company may, at its option,
revoke the interest rate provided for in the Extension Notice and establish a
higher interest rate for the Extension Period by causing the Trustee to
transmit, in the manner provided for in Section 106, notice of such higher
interest rate to the Holder of such Security.  Such notice shall be irrevocable.
All Securities with respect to which the Stated Maturity is extended will bear
such higher interest rate.

          If the Company extends the Maturity of any Security, the Holder will
have the option to elect repayment of such Security by the Company on the
Original Stated Maturity at a price equal to the principal amount thereof, plus
interest accrued to such date.  In order to obtain repayment on the Original
Stated Maturity once the Company has extended the Maturity thereof, the Holder
must follow the procedures set forth in Article Thirteen for repayment at the
option of Holders, except that the period for delivery or notification to the
Trustee shall be at least 25 but not more than 35 days prior to the Original
Stated Maturity and except that, if the Holder has tendered any Security for
repayment pursuant to an Extension Notice, the Holder may, by written notice to
the Trustee, revoke such tender for repayment until the close of business on the
tenth day before the Original Stated Maturity.

SECTION 309.   Persons Deemed Owners.

          Prior to due presentment of a Security for registration of transfer,
the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat
the Person in whose name such Security is registered on the applicable record
date as the owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of
principal of and any premium and (subject to Section 307) any interest on such
Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security be
overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or
the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

SECTION 310.   Cancellation.

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

                                       32

SECTION 311.   Computation of Interest.

          Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for
Securities of any series, interest on the Securities of each series shall be
computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months and interest on
the Securities of each series for any partial period shall be computed on the
basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months and the number of days elapsed
in any partial month.

SECTION 312.   CUSIP Numbers.

          The Company in issuing the Securities may use "CUSIP" numbers (if then
generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use "CUSIP" numbers in notices
of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may
state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers
either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of a
redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification
numbers printed on the Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected
by any defect in or omission of such numbers.  The Company shall promptly notify
the Trustee in writing of any change in "CUSIP" numbers.

                           SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE

SECTION 401.   Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture.

          This Indenture shall upon Company Request cease to be of further
effect (except as to any surviving rights of registration of transfer or
exchange of Securities herein expressly provided for and as otherwise provided
in this Section 401), and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the
Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and
discharge of this Indenture, when

          (1)  either

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

                                       33
<PAGE>

              (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 such purpose money in an amount sufficient to pay and
          discharge the entire indebtedness on such Securities not theretofore
          delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, for principal and any
          premium 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) the Company has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable
     hereunder by the Company; and

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

          Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the
obligations of the Company to the Trustee under Section 607, the obligations of
the Trustee to any Authenticating Agent under Section 614 and, if money shall
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 Money.

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

                                    REMEDIES

SECTION 501.   Events of Default.

          "Event of Default", wherever used herein with respect to the
Securities of any series, means any one of the following events (whatever the
reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or
involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment,
decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any
administrative or governmental body):

                                       34

     Security of that series at its Maturity; or

          (4) default in the performance, or breach, in any material respect, of
     any covenant or warranty of the Company in this Indenture with respect to a
     Security of that series (other than a covenant or warranty a default in the
     performance of which or the breach of which is elsewhere in this Section
     specifically dealt with or which has expressly been included in this
     Indenture solely for the benefit of series of Securities other than that
     series), and continuance of such default or breach for a period of 90 days
     after there has been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Company
     by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at least
     33% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series a
     written notice specifying such default or breach and requiring it to be
     remedied and stating that such notice is a "Notice of Default" under this
     Indenture; or

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

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

                                       35
<PAGE>

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

provided, however, that no event described in clause (4) or (7) above shall
constitute an Event of Default hereunder until a Responsible Officer assigned to
and working in the Trustee's corporate trust department has actual knowledge
thereof or until a written notice of any such event is received by the Trustee
at the Corporate Trust Office, and such notice refers to the Securities
generally, the Company or the Indenture.

          Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 501, if the
principal or any  premium or interest on any Security is payable in a currency
other than the currency of the United States of America and such currency is not
available to the Company for making payment thereof due to the imposition of
exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the control of the Company, the
Company will be entitled to satisfy its obligations to Holders of the Securities
by making such payment in the currency of the United States of America in an
amount equal to the currency of the United States of America equivalent of the
amount payable in such other currency, as determined by the Trustee by reference
to the noon buying rate in The City of New York for cable transfers for such
currency ("Exchange Rate"), as such Exchange Rate is reported or otherwise made
available by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York on the date of such payment,
or, if such rate is not then available, on the basis of the most recently
available Exchange Rate.  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this
Section 501, any payment made under such circumstances in the currency of the
United States of America where the required payment is in a currency other than
the currency of the United States of America will not constitute an Event of
Default under this Indenture.

SECTION 502.   Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.

          If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in
Section 501(4) or another Event of Default specified in Section 501(7) which is
common to all Outstanding series of Securities) 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 33% in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of that series may declare the principal amount of all
the Securities of that series (or, if any Securities of that series are Original
Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount of such
Securities as may be specified by the terms thereof) to be due and payable
immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given
by Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal amount (or specified
amount) shall become immediately due and payable.  If an Event of Default
specified in Section 501(4) or another Event of Default under Section 501(7)
which is common to all Outstanding series of Securities occurs and is
continuing, then in every such case, the Trustee or the Holders of not less than
33% in aggregate principal amount of all the Securities then Outstanding
hereunder (treated as one class), by a notice in writing to the Company (and to
the Trustee if given by Holders) may declare the principal amount (or, if any
Securities are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal
amount as may be specified in the terms thereof) of all the Securities then
Outstanding to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration
such principal amount (or specified amount) shall become immediately due and
payable.

                                       36
<PAGE>

          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 installments of 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 any 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 hereunder and the
     reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
     Trustee, its agents and  counsel;

and

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

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

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

          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 the Trustee, for the
benefit of the Holders of such Securities, the whole amount then due and payable
on such Securities for principal and any premium and interest and, to the extent
that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, interest on any
overdue principal and premium and on any overdue interest, at the rate or rates
prescribed therefor in such Securities, and, in addition thereto, all amounts
owing the Trustee, its agents and counsel under Section 607.

                                       37
<PAGE>

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

SECTION 504.   Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

          In case of any judicial proceeding relative to the Company (or any
other obligor upon the Securities), its property or its creditors, the Trustee
shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or
otherwise, to take any and all actions authorized under the Trust Indenture Act
in order to have claims of the Holders and the Trustee allowed in any such
proceeding.  In particular, the Trustee shall be authorized to collect and
receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims
and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee,
liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial
proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the
Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such
payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it and
any predecessor Trustee under Section 607.

          No provision of this Indenture 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; provided,
however, that the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders, vote for the election
of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar official and be a member of a creditors'
or other similar committee.

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 all amounts owing the Trustee and any predecessor
Trustee under Section 607, 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 or property collected or to be applied by the Trustee with
respect to a series of Securities 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 or property on account of principal or any
premium or interest, upon presentation of the Securities and the notation
thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if
fully paid:

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

                                       38
<PAGE>

          SECOND:   To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid for
     principal of and any premium and interest on such series of 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 series of Securities for principal and any
     premium and interest, respectively; and

          THIRD:  To the payment of the remainder, if any, to the Company or any
     other Person or Persons entitled thereto.

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, assignee, trustee, liquidator or
sequestrator (or other similar official), or for any other remedy hereunder,
unless

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

          (2) the Holders of not less than 33% 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
     security or 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 security or 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 itself of, any
provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any
other Holders of Securities, 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 any premium and (subject to Section 307)
interest on such Security on the respective Stated 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.

                                       39
<PAGE>

SECTION 509.   Restoration of Rights and Remedies.

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

SECTION 510.   Rights and Remedies Cumulative.

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

SECTION 511.   Delay or Omission Not Waiver.

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

SECTION 512.   Control by Holders.

          The Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of any series shall have the right to direct the time,
method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the
Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, with respect
to the Securities of such series, provided that

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

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

          (3) subject to the provisions of Section 601, the Trustee shall have
     the right to decline to follow such direction if a Responsible Officer or
     Officers of the Trustee shall, in good faith, determine that the proceeding
     so directed would involve the Trustee in personal liability or would
     otherwise be contrary to applicable law.

                                       40
<PAGE>

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 any premium 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 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 such court may in its discretion
assess reasonable costs including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses,
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; provided that
the provisions of this Section 514 shall not apply to any suit instituted by the
Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder or group of Holders holding in the
aggregate more than 10 per centum in principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities, or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the
payment of the principal of or interest on any Security, on or after the
respective due dates expressed in such Security.  Neither this Section 514 nor
the Trust Indenture Act shall be deemed to authorize any court to require such
an undertaking or such an assessment in any proceeding instituted by the
Company.

SECTION 515.   Waiver of Usury, 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 usury, 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.

SECTION 601.   Certain Duties and Responsibilities.

          The duties and responsibilities of the Trustee shall be as provided by
the Trust Indenture Act.

SECTION 602.   Notice of Defaults.

          If a default occurs hereunder with respect to Securities of any
series, the Trustee shall give the Holders of Securities of such series notice
of such default as and to the extent provided by the Trust Indenture Act;
provided, however, that in the case of any default of the character specified in
Section 501(4) with respect to Securities of such series, no such notice to
Holders shall be given until at least 30 days after the occurrence thereof. For
the purpose of this Section, the term "default" means any event which is, or
after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default with
respect to Securities of such series.

          The Trustee is not required to take notice or deemed to have notice of
any Event of Default with respect to the Securities, except an Event of Default
under Section 501(1), Section 501(2) or Section 501(3) hereof, unless a
Responsible Officer shall have received written notice of such Event of Default
from the Company, any Subsidiary or the Holder of any Security.

     faith on its part, rely upon an Officers' Certificate;

          (4) the Trustee may consult with counsel and the written advice of

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

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

          (6) the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the

     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

          (11) except for information provided by the Trustee concerning the
     Trustee, the Trustee shall have no responsibility for any information in
     any offering memorandum or other disclosure material distributed with
     respect to the Securities, and the Trustee shall have no responsibility for
     compliance with any state or federal securities laws in connection with the

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

          The recitals contained herein and in the Securities, except the
Trustee's certificates of authentication, shall be taken as the statements of
the Company, and neither the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent assumes any
responsibility for their correctness.  The Trustee makes no representations as
to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Securities.  Neither

                                       43
<PAGE>

the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent shall be accountable for the use or
application by the Company of Securities or the proceeds thereof.

SECTION 605.   May Hold Securities.

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

SECTION 606.   Money Held in Trust.

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

SECTION 607.   Compensation and Reimbursement.

          The Company agrees

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

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

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

          In the event the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in any
proceedings which result from an Event of Default under Section 501, subsection
(5) or (6) of this Indenture, or from any default which, with the passage of
time, would become such Event of Default, the expenses so incurred and
compensation for services so rendered are intended to constitute expenses of
administration under the United States Bankruptcy Code or equivalent law.

                                       44

SECTION 608.   Conflicting Interests.

          If the Trustee has or shall acquire a conflicting interest within the
meaning of the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee shall either eliminate such
interest or resign, to the extent and in the manner provided by, and subject to
the provisions of, the Trust Indenture Act and this Indenture.  To the extent
permitted by such Act, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have a conflicting
interest by virtue of being a trustee under this Indenture with respect to
Securities of more than one series.

SECTION 609.   Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility.

          There shall at all times be one (and only one) Trustee hereunder with
respect to the Securities of each series, which may be Trustee hereunder for
Securities of one or more other series. Each Trustee shall be a Person that is
eligible pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act to act as such and has a combined
capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000. If any such Person publishes
reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements
of its supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section
and to the extent permitted by the Trust Indenture Act, the combined capital and
surplus of such Person 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 with respect to the Securities of any series 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.

          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.

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

          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.

          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

                                       45
<PAGE>

          (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, (A) the Company, acting pursuant to the authority of a
Board Resolution, may remove the Trustee with respect to all Securities, or (B)
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.

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

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

SECTION 611.   Acceptance of Appointment by Successor.

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

                                       46
<PAGE>

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

          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 Trustee's 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, provided that the retiring Trustee shall have
the right to first deduct any amounts due to the retiring Trustee under
Section 607.

          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 the
first or second preceding paragraph, as the case may be.

          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

                                       47
<PAGE>

then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such
authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Securities
so authenticated, and in case any Securities shall not have been authenticated,
any successor to the Trustee may authenticate such Securities either in the name
of any predecessor Trustee or in the name of such successor Trustee, and in all
cases the certificate of authentication shall have the full force which it is
provided anywhere in the Securities or in this Indenture that the certificate of
the Trustee shall have.

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).  For purposes of Section 311(b)(4) and
(6) of the Trust Indenture Act:

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

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

SECTION 614.   Appointment of Authenticating Agent.

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

                                       48
<PAGE>

purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such
Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as
set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time an
Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of this Section, such Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately
in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section.

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

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

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

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

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

     the Securities and the performance or observance 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, no Event of
     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 stating that such consolidation, merger,
     conveyance, transfer or lease

                                       51
<PAGE>

     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; provided, however, that the delivery of an
     Officers' Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel is not required with respect
     to any consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer or lease involving the
     Company and any wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

SECTION 802.   Successor Substituted.

          Upon any consolidation of the Company with, or merger of the Company
into, any other Person 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 Person 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
Person had been named as the Company herein; and in the event of any such
conveyance, transfer or lease the Company shall be discharged from all
obligations and covenants under the Indenture and the Securities and may be
dissolved and liquidated.

          Such successor Person may cause to be signed, and may issue either in
its own name or in the name of the Company, 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 Person
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 Person thereafter shall cause
to be signed and delivered to the Trustee on its behalf for the purpose pursuant
to such provisions.  All the Securities so issued shall in all respects have the
same legal rank and benefit under this Indenture as the Securities theretofore
or thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this Indenture as though
all of such Securities had been issued at the date of the execution hereof.

          In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance or lease,
such changes in phraseology and form may be made in the Securities thereafter to
be issued as may be appropriate.

                            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:

                                       52
<PAGE>

          (1) to evidence the succession of another corporation to the Company,
     or successive successions, and the assumption by the successor corporation
     of the covenants, agreements and obligations of the Company pursuant to
     Article Eight; 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 for the benefit of the
     Holders of all or any series of Securities (and if such additional Events
     of Default are to be for the benefit of less than all series of Securities,
     stating that such additional Events of Default are expressly being included
     solely for the benefit of such series), provided, however, that in respect
     of any such additional Events of Default such supplemental indenture may
     provide for a particular period of grace after default (which period may be
     shorter or longer than that allowed in the case of other defaults) or may
     provide for an immediate enforcement upon such default or may limit the
     remedies available to the Trustee upon such default or may limit the right
     of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of that or those
     series of Securities to which such additional Events of Default apply to
     waive such 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 to permit or facilitate the
     issuance of Securities in uncertificated form; or

          (5) to add to, change or eliminate any of the provisions of this
     Indenture in respect of one or more series of Securities; provided,
     however, that if such addition, change or elimination shall adversely
     affect the interests of Holders of Securities of any series, such addition,
     change or elimination shall become effective with respect to such series
     only when no such Security of such series remains Outstanding; or

          (6) to convey, transfer, assign, mortgage or pledge any property to or
     with the Trustee or to surrender any right or power herein conferred upon
     the Company; or

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

          (8) to provide for uncertificated securities in addition to
     certificated securities; or

          (9) 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; or

                                       53
<PAGE>

          (10)  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 that such action pursuant
     to this Clause (10) shall not adversely affect the interests of the Holders
     of Securities of any series; or

          (11)  to supplement any of the provisions of this Indenture to such
     extent as shall be necessary to permit or facilitate the defeasance and
     discharge of any series of Securities pursuant to Sections 401, 1402 and
     1403; provided that any such action shall not adversely affect the
     interests of the holders of Securities of such series or any other series
     of Securities; or

          (12)  to comply with the rules or regulations of any securities
     exchange or automated quotation system on which any of the Securities may
     be listed or traded; or

          (13)  to add to, change or eliminate any of the provisions of this
     Indenture as shall be necessary or desirable in accordance with any
     amendments to the Trust Indenture Act, provided that such action does not
     adversely affect the rights or interests of any Holder of 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 each series affected by such
supplemental indenture (treated 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)  except to the extent permitted by Section 307(b) or Section 308
     or otherwise specified in the form or terms of the Securities of any series
     as permitted by Sections 201 and 301 with respect to extending the Stated
     Maturity of any Security of such series, 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 or any other
     Security which would be due and payable upon a declaration of acceleration
     of the Maturity thereof pursuant to Section 502, or change any Place of
     Payment  where, or the coin or currency in which, any Security or any
     premium or 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,

                                       54
<PAGE>

     or the consent of whose Holders is required for any waiver (of compliance
     with certain provisions of this Indenture or certain defaults hereunder and
     their consequences) provided for in this Indenture, or

          (3) modify any of the provisions of this Section, Section 513 or
     Section 1006, 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 1006, or the
     deletion of this proviso, in accordance with the requirements of Sections
     611 and 901(9), or

          (4) if the Securities of any series are convertible or exchangeable
     into any other securities or property of the Company, make any change that
     adversely affects the right to convert or exchange any Security of such
     series (except as permitted by Section 901) or decrease the conversion or
     exchange rate or increase the conversion price of any such Security of such
     series, or

          (5) if the Securities of any series are secured, change the terms and
     conditions pursuant to which the Securities of such series are secured in a
     manner adverse to the Holders of the secured Securities of such series.

          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 to Section 601) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an
Officer's 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 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.

<PAGE>

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.

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 the principal of and any premium
and interest on the Securities of that series in accordance with the terms of
the Securities and this Indenture.

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 payment, where Securities of that series may be surrendered
for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or
upon the Company in respect of the Securities of that series and this Indenture
may be served.  The Company initially appoints the Trustee, acting through its
Corporate Trust Office, as its agent for said purpose.  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.

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 or any premium or interest on any of the Securities of that series,
segregate to the extent required by law and hold in trust for the benefit of the
Persons entitled thereto a sum sufficient to pay the principal and any premium
and 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 provide to a Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay
the principal of or any premium or interest on any Securities of that series,
such sum to be held as provided by the Trust Indenture Act, and (unless such
Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of its
action or failure so to act.

          The Company will cause each Paying Agent for any series of Securities
other than the Trustee to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in
which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions
of this Section, that such Paying Agent will (1) comply with the provisions of
the Trust Indenture Act applicable to it as a Paying Agent and (2) during the
continuance of any default by the Company (or any other obligor upon the
Securities of that series) in the making of any payment in respect of the
Securities of that series, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith
pay to the Trustee all sums held in trust by such Paying Agent for payment in
respect of the Securities of that series.

          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 or any premium or
interest on any Security of any series and remaining unclaimed for two years
after such principal, premium or interest has become due and payable may be paid
to the Company on Company Request, or (if then held by the Company) shall be
discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Security shall thereafter, as
an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for payment thereof, and
all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust
money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon
cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being
required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to
be published once, in a newspaper published in the English language, customarily
published on each Business Day and of general circulation in The City of New
York, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified
therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such publication,
any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the
Company.

SECTION 1004.   Statement by Officers as to Default.

          The Company will deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end
of each fiscal year of the Company ending after the date hereof, an Officers'
Certificate, one of the signers of which shall be the principal executive,
principal accounting or principal financial 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,
covenants and conditions of this Indenture (without regard to any period of
grace or requirement of notice provided hereunder) and, if the Company shall be
in default, specifying all such defaults and the nature and status thereof of
which they may have knowledge.

SECTION 1005.   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.

SECTION 1006.   Waiver of Certain Covenants.

          Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for
Securities of such series, the Company may, with respect to the Securities of
any series, omit in any particular instance to comply with any term, provision
or condition set forth in any covenant provided pursuant to Section 301(20),
901(2) or 901(7) for the benefit of the Holders of such series or in Article
Eight or Section 1005, if the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount
of the Outstanding Securities of such series shall, by Act of such Holders,
either waive such compliance in such instance or generally waive compliance with
such term, provision or condition, but no such waiver shall extend to or affect
such term, provision or condition except to the extent so expressly waived, and,
until such waiver shall become effective, the obligations of the Company and the
duties of the Trustee in respect of any such term, provision or condition shall
remain in full force and effect.

                                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 such Securities) in
accordance with this Article.

SECTION 1102.   Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee.

          The election of the Company to redeem any Securities shall be
evidenced by a Board Resolution or in another manner specified as contemplated
by Section 301 for such Securities.  In case of any redemption at the election
of the Company of less than all the Securities of any series (including any such
redemption affecting only a single Security), the Company shall, not less than
45 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date fixed by the Company
(unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the
Trustee of such

                                       58
<PAGE>

Redemption Date, of the principal amount of Securities of such series to be
redeemed and, if applicable, of the tenor of the Securities to be redeemed. In
the case of any redemption of Securities prior to the expiration of any
restriction on such redemption provided in the terms of such Securities or
elsewhere in this Indenture, the Company shall furnish the Trustee with an
Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel 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
(unless all the Securities of such series and of a specified tenor are to be
redeemed or unless such redemption affects only a single Security), the
particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 60 days
prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee, from the Outstanding Securities of
such series not previously called for redemption, by such method as the Trustee
shall deem fair and appropriate and which may provide for the selection for
redemption of a portion of the principal amount of any Security of such series,
provided that the unredeemed portion of the principal amount of any Security
shall be in an authorized denomination (which shall not be less than the minimum
authorized denomination) for such Security.  If less than all the Securities of
such series and of a specified tenor are to be redeemed (unless such redemption
affects only a single Security), the particular Securities to be redeemed shall
be selected not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee,
from the Outstanding Securities of such series and specified tenor not
previously called for redemption in accordance with the preceding sentence.

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

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

          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.  If the Company shall so direct, Securities registered in the name of
the Company, any Affiliate or any Subsidiary thereof shall not be included in
the Securities selected for redemption.

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.

          With respect to Securities of each series to be redeemed, each notice
of redemption shall identify the Securities to be redeemed (including CUSIP
numbers) and shall state:

                                       59
<PAGE>

          (1) the Redemption Date,

          (2) the Redemption Price,

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

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

          (5) the place or places where each such Security is to be surrendered
     for payment of the Redemption Price, and

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

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

SECTION 1105.   Deposit of Redemption Price.

          On or before the Redemption Date specified in the notice of redemption
given as provided in Section 1104, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or
with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent,
segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 1003) an amount of money
sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of, and (except if the Redemption Date
shall be an Interest Payment Date) accrued interest on, all the Securities which
are to be redeemed on that date.

SECTION 1106.   Securities Payable on Redemption Date.

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

will 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 any premium shall, until
paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate prescribed therefor in
the Security.

SECTION 1107.   Securities Redeemed in Part.

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

                                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 any series except as otherwise specified as
contemplated by Section 301 for such Securities.

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

SECTION 1202.   Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments with Securities.

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

                                       61
<PAGE>

shall be received and credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the Redemption
Price, as specified in the Securities so to be redeemed, for redemption through
operation of the sinking fund and the amount of such sinking fund payment shall
be reduced accordingly.

SECTION 1203.   Redemption of Securities for Sinking Fund.

          Not less than 60 days prior to each sinking fund payment date for any
series of Securities, the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officers'
Certificate specifying the amount of the next ensuing sinking fund payment for
such Securities pursuant to the terms of such Securities, the portion thereof,
if any, which is to be satisfied by payment of cash and the portion thereof, if
any, which is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting Securities pursuant to
Section 1202 and will also deliver to the Trustee any Securities to be so
delivered.  Not less than 45 days prior to each such sinking fund payment date,
the Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed upon such sinking fund
payment date in the manner specified in Section 1103 and cause notice of the
redemption thereof to be given in the name of and at the expense of the Company
in the manner provided in Section 1104.  Such notice having been duly given, the
redemption of such Securities shall be made upon the terms and in the manner
stated in Sections 1106 and 1107.

                               ARTICLE THIRTEEN

                    REPAYMENT AT THE OPTION OF THE HOLDERS

SECTION 1301.   Applicability of Article.

          Repayment of securities of any series before their Stated Maturity at
the option of Holders thereof shall be made in accordance with the terms of such
Securities and (except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for
Securities of any series) in accordance with this Article.

SECTION 1302.   Repayment of Securities.

          Securities of any series subject to repayment in whole or in part at
the option of the Holders thereof will, unless otherwise provided in the terms
of such Securities, be repaid at a price equal to the principal amount thereof,
together with interest and/or premium, if any, thereon accrued to the Repayment
Date specified in or pursuant to the terms of such Securities.  The Company
covenants that on or before the Repayment Date it will deposit with the Trustee
or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent,
segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 1003) an amount of money
sufficient to pay the principal (or, if so provided by the terms of the
Securities of any series, a percentage of the principal) of, the premium, if
any, and (except if the Repayment Date shall be an Interest Payment Date)
accrued interest on, all the Securities or portions thereof, as the case may be,
to be repaid on such date.

SECTION 1303.   Exercise of Option.

          Securities of any series subject to repayment at the option of the
Holders thereof will contain an "Option to Elect Repayment" form on the reverse
of such Securities.  To be repaid at the option of the Holder, any Security so
providing for such repayment, with the

                                       62
<PAGE>

"Option to Elect Repayment" form on the reverse of such Security duly completed
by the Holder (or by the Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing), must be
received by the Company at the Place of Payment therefor specified in the terms
of such Security (or at such other place or places of which the Company shall
from time to time notify the Holders of such Securities) not earlier than 45
days nor later than 30 days prior to the Repayment Date. If less than the entire
principal amount of such Security is to be repaid in accordance with the terms
of such Security, the principal amount of such Security to be repaid, in
increments of the minimum denomination for Securities of such series, the
premium, if any, to be paid, and the denomination or denominations of the
Security or Securities to be issued to the Holder for the portion of the
principal amount of such Security surrendered that is not to be repaid, must be
specified. The principal amount of any Security providing for repayment at the
option of the Holder thereof may not be repaid in part if, following such
repayment, the unpaid principal amount of such Security would be less than the
minimum authorized denomination of Securities of the series of which such
Security to be repaid is a part. Except as otherwise may be provided by the
terms of any Security providing for repayment at the option of the Holder
thereof and as provided in Sections 307(b) and 308, exercise of the repayment
option by the Holder shall be irrevocable unless waived by the Company.

SECTION 1304.   When Securities Presented for Repayment Become Due and Payable.

          If Securities of any series providing for repayment at the option of
the Holders thereof shall have been surrendered as provided in this Article and
as provided by or pursuant to the terms of such Securities, such Securities or
the portions thereof, as the case may be, to be repaid shall become due and
payable and shall be paid by the Company on the Repayment Date therein
specified, and on and after such Repayment Date (unless the Company shall
default in the payment of such Securities on such Repayment Date) such
Securities shall, if the same were interest-bearing, cease to bear interest.
Upon surrender of any such Security for repayment in accordance with such
provisions, the principal amount of such Security so to be repaid shall be paid
by the Company, together with accrued interest and/or premium, if any, to the
Repayment Date; provided, however, that installments of interest, if any, whose
Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Repayment Date shall be payable (but
without interest thereon, unless the Company shall default in the payment
thereof) 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 the principal amount of any Security surrendered for repayment
shall not be so repaid upon surrender thereof, such principal amount (together
with interest, if any, thereon accrued to such Repayment Date) shall, until
paid, bear interest from the Repayment Date at the rate of interest or Yield to
Maturity (in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities) set forth in such
Security.

SECTION 1305.   Securities Repaid in Part.

          Upon surrender of any Security which is to be repaid in part only, the
Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the
Holder of such Security, without service charge and at the expense of the
Company, a new Security or Securities of the same series, of any authorized
denomination specified by the Holder, in an aggregate principal

                                       63
<PAGE>

amount equal to and in exchange for the portion of the principal of such
Security so surrendered which is not to be repaid.

                               ARTICLE FOURTEEN

                      DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE

SECTION 1401.   Company's Option to Effect Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

          The Company may elect, at its option at any time, to have Section 1402
or Section 1403 applied to any Securities or any series of Securities, as the
case may be, (unless designated pursuant to Section 301 as not being defeasible
pursuant to such Section 1402 or 1403), in accordance with any applicable
requirements provided pursuant to Section 301 and upon compliance with the
conditions set forth below in this Article.  Any such election shall be
evidenced by a Board Resolution or in another manner specified as contemplated
by Section 301 for such Securities.

SECTION 1402.   Defeasance and Discharge.

          Upon the Company's exercise of its option (if any) to have this
Section applied to any Securities or any series of Securities, as the case may
be, the Company shall be deemed to have been discharged from its obligations
with respect to such Securities as provided in this Section on and after the
date the conditions set forth in Section 1404 are satisfied (hereinafter called
"Defeasance").  For this purpose, such Defeasance means that the Company shall
be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by
such Securities and to have satisfied all its other obligations under such
Securities and this Indenture insofar as such Securities are concerned (and the
Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments
acknowledging the same), subject to the following which shall survive until
otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (1) the rights of Holders of such
Securities to receive, solely from the trust fund described in Section 1404 and
as more fully set forth in such Section, payments in respect of the principal of
and any premium and interest on such Securities when payments are due, (2) the
Company's obligations with respect to such Securities under Sections 304, 305,
306, 1002 and 1003, (3) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the
Trustee hereunder and (4) this Article.  Subject to compliance with this
Article, the Company may exercise its option (if any) to have this Section
applied to any Securities notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option (if
any) to have Section 1403 applied to such Securities.

SECTION 1403.   Covenant Defeasance.

          Upon the Company's exercise of its option (if any) to have this
Section applied to any Securities or any series of Securities, as the case may
be, (1) the Company shall be released from its obligations under Article Eight
and under any covenants provided pursuant to Section 301(20), 901(2) or 901(7)
for the benefit of the Holders of such Securities and (2) the occurrence of any
event specified in Sections 501(4) (with respect to Article Eight and to any
such covenants provided pursuant to Section 301(20), 901(2) or 901(7)), and
501(7) shall be deemed not to be or result in an Event of Default, in each case
with respect to such Securities as provided in this Section on and after the
date the conditions set forth in Section 1404 are satisfied

                                       64
<PAGE>

(hereinafter called "Covenant Defeasance"). For this purpose, such Covenant
Defeasance means that, with respect to such Securities, the Company may omit to
comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or
limitation set forth in any such specified Section (to the extent so specified
in the case of Section 501(4)), whether directly or indirectly by reason of any
reference elsewhere herein to any such Section or by reason of any reference in
any such Section to any other provision herein or in any other document, but the
remainder of this Indenture and such Securities shall be unaffected thereby.

SECTION 1404.   Conditions to Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

          The following shall be the conditions to the application of
Section 1402 or Section 1403 to any Securities or any series of Securities,
as the case may be:

          (1) The Company shall irrevocably have deposited or caused to be
     deposited with the Trustee (or another trustee which satisfies the
     requirements contemplated by Section 609 and agrees to comply with the
     provisions of this Article applicable to it) as trust funds in trust for
     the purpose of making the following payments, specifically pledged as
     security for, and dedicated solely to, the benefits of the Holders of  such
     Securities, (A) money in an amount, or (B) U.S. Government Obligations
     which through the scheduled payment of principal and interest in respect
     thereof in accordance with their terms will provide, not later than one day
     before the due date of any payment, money in an amount, or (C) a
     combination thereof, in each case sufficient, in the opinion of a
     nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a
     written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay and
     discharge, and which shall be applied by the Trustee (or any such other
     qualifying trustee) to pay and discharge, the principal of and any premium
     and interest on such Securities on the respective Stated Maturities, in
     accordance with the terms of this Indenture and such Securities.  As used
     herein, "U.S. Government Obligation" means (x) any security which is (i) a
     direct obligation of the United States of America for the payment of which
     the full faith and credit of the United States of America is pledged or
     (ii) an obligation of a Person controlled or supervised by and acting as an
     agency or instrumentality of the United States of America the payment of
     which is unconditionally guaranteed as a full faith and credit obligation
     by the United States of America, which, in either case (i) or (ii), is not
     callable or redeemable at the option of the issuer thereof, and (y) any
     depositary receipt issued by a bank  (as defined in Section 3(a)(2) of the
     Securities Act) as custodian with respect to any U.S. Government Obligation
     which is specified in Clause (x) above and held by such bank for the
     account of the holder of such depositary receipt, or with respect to any
     specific payment of principal of or interest on any U.S. Government
     Obligation which is so specified and held, provided that (except as
     required by law) such custodian is not authorized to make any deduction
     from the amount payable to the holder of such depositary receipt from any
     amount received by the custodian in respect of the U.S. Government
     Obligation or the specific payment of principal or interest evidenced by
     such depositary receipt.

          (2) In the event of an election to have Section 1402 apply to any
     Securities or any series of Securities, as the case may be, the Company
     shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that
     (A) the Company has received from, or there

                                       65
<PAGE>

     has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (B) since
     the date of this instrument, there has been a change in the applicable
     federal income tax law, in either case (A) or (B) to the effect that, and
     based thereon such opinion shall confirm that, the Holders of such
     Securities will not recognize gain or loss for federal income tax purposes
     as a result of the deposit, Defeasance and discharge to be effected with
     respect to such Securities and will be subject to federal income tax on the
     same amount, in the same manner and at the same times as would be the case
     if such deposit, Defeasance and discharge were not to occur.

          (3) In the event of an election to have Section 1403 apply to any
     Securities or any series of Securities, as the case may be, the Company
     shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect
     that the Holders of such Securities will not recognize gain or loss for
     federal income tax purposes as a result of the deposit and Covenant
     Defeasance to be effected with respect to such Securities and will be
     subject to federal income tax on the same amount, in the same manner and at
     the same times as would be the case if such deposit and Covenant Defeasance
     were not to occur.

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

          (5) No event which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would
     become, an Event of Default with respect to such Securities or any other
     Securities shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such
     deposit or, with regard to any such event specified in Sections 501(5) and
     (6), at any time on or prior to the 90th day after the date of such deposit
     (it being understood that this condition shall not be deemed satisfied
     until after such 90th day).

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

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

          (8) Such Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in the
     trust arising from such deposit constituting an investment company within
     the meaning of the Investment Company Act unless such trust shall be
     registered under such Act or exempt from registration thereunder.

          (9) The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an agreement
     whereby the Company irrevocably agrees to forfeit its right, if any, (A) to
     reset the interest rate of such Securities pursuant to Section 307(b) and
     (B) to extend the Stated Maturity of such Securities pursuant to Section
     308.

                                       66
<PAGE>

          (10) The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer's
     Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions
     precedent with respect to such Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance have been
     complied with.

SECTION 1405.   Acknowledgment of Discharge By Trustee.

          Subject to Section 1407 below and after the Company has delivered to
the Trustee an Officer's Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating
that all conditions precedent referred to in Section 1404, as the case may be,
relating to the defeasance or satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have
been complied with, the Trustee upon request of the Company shall acknowledge in
writing the defeasance or the satisfaction and discharge, as the case may be, of
this Indenture and the discharge of the Company's obligations under this
Indenture.

SECTION 1406.   Deposited Money and U.S. Government Obligations to Be Held in
Trust; Miscellaneous Provisions.

          Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 1003, all
money and U.S. Government Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited
with the Trustee or other qualifying trustee (solely for purposes of this
Section and Section 1406, the Trustee and any such other trustee are referred to
collectively as the "Trustee") pursuant to Section 1404 in respect of any
Securities shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with
the provisions of such Securities and this Indenture, to the payment, either
directly or through any such Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its
own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such
Securities, of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal
and any premium and interest, but money so held in trust need not be segregated
from other funds except to the extent required by law.

          The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee
or other charge imposed on or assessed against the U.S. Government Obligations
deposited pursuant to Section 1404 or the principal and interest received in
respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for
the account of the Holders of Outstanding Securities.

          Anything in this Article to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee
shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon Company Request any
money or U.S. Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 1404 with
respect to any Securities which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm
of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof
delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the amount thereof which would then
be required to be deposited to effect the Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance, as
the case may be, with respect to such Securities.

SECTION 1407.   Reinstatement.

          If the Trustee or the Paying Agent is unable to apply any money in
accordance with this Article with respect to any Securities by reason of any
order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining
or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the obligations under this
Indenture and such Securities from which the Company has been discharged or
released pursuant to Section 1402 or 1403 shall be revived and reinstated as
though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article with respect to such
Securities, until such

                                       67
<PAGE>

time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all money held in
trust pursuant to Section 1405 with respect to such Securities in accordance
with this Article; provided, however, that if the Company makes any payment of
principal of or any premium or interest on any such Security following such
reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights
(if any) of the Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from the
money so held in trust.

                                ARTICLE FIFTEEN

director or employee, as such, past, present or future, of the Company or of any
successor corporation, either directly or through the Company, whether by virtue
of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any

of the Company, and that no such personal liability whatever shall attach to, or

by reason of the obligations, covenants or agreements contained in this
Indenture or in any of the Securities or implied therefrom, are hereby expressly
waived and released as a condition of, and as a consideration for, the execution
of this Indenture and the issue of such Securities.
