opinion need be furnished.

        Every certificate or opinion with respect to compliance with a condition

Section 1.4 ACTS OF HOLDERS

                                       9
<PAGE>   16

        Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver
or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Holders of
the Outstanding Securities of all series or one or more series, as the case may
be, may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially
similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by agents duly appointed in
writing. If Securities of a series are issuable as Bearer Securities, any
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other
action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Holders of Securities
of such series may, alternatively, be embodied in and evidenced by the record of
Holders of Securities of such series voting in favor thereof, either in person
or by proxies duly appointed in writing, at any meeting of Holders of Securities
of such series duly called and held, or a combination of such instruments and
any such record. Except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action
shall become effective when such instrument or instruments or record or both are
delivered to the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the
Company. Such instrument or instruments and any such record (and the action
embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the
"Act" of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments or so voting at any
such meeting. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing
appointing any such agent, or of the holding by any Person of a Security, shall
be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and conclusive in favor of the
Trustee and the Company and any agent of the Trustee or the Company, if made in
the manner provided in this Section 1.4.

        The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument
or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by a
certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by law to take
acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument
or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Where such execution is by
a signer acting in a capacity other than his individual capacity, such
certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his
authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing,
or the authority of the Person executing the same, may also be proved in any
other reasonable manner which the Trustee deems sufficient.

        The ownership of Registered Securities shall be proved by the Security
Register. As to any matter relating to beneficial ownership interests in any
Global Security, the records of the appropriate depositary and of participants
in such depositary shall be dispositive for purposes of this Indenture.

        The ownership of Bearer Securities may be proved by the production of
such Bearer Securities or by a certificate executed, as depositary, by any trust
company, bank, banker or other depositary, wherever situated, if such
certificate shall be deemed by the Trustee to be satisfactory, showing that at
the date therein mentioned such Person had on deposit with such depositary, or
exhibited to it, the Bearer Securities therein described; or such facts may be
proved by the certificate or affidavit of the Person holding such Bearer
Securities, if such certificate or affidavit is deemed by the Trustee to be
satisfactory. The Trustee and the Company may assume that such ownership of any
Bearer Security continues until (1) another certificate or affidavit bearing a
later date issued in respect of the same Bearer Security is produced or (2) such
Bearer Security is produced to the Trustee by some other Person or (3) such
Bearer Security is surrendered in exchange for a Registered Security or (4) such
Bearer Security is no longer Outstanding. The ownership of Bearer Securities may
also be proved in any other manner which the Trustee deems sufficient.

        If the Company shall solicit from the Holders of Registered Securities
any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other
Act, the Company may, at its option, in or pursuant to a Board Resolution, fix
in advance a record date for the determination of

                                       10
<PAGE>   17

Holders entitled to give such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
consent, waiver or other Act, but the Company shall have no obligation to do so.
Notwithstanding TIA Section 316(c), such record date shall be the record date
specified in or pursuant to such Board Resolution, which shall be a date not
earlier than the date 30 days prior to the first solicitation of Holders
generally in connection therewith and not later than the date such solicitation
is completed. If such a record date is fixed, such request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act may be given
before or after such record date, but only the Holders of record at the close of
business on such record date shall be deemed to be Holders for the purposes of
determining whether Holders of the requisite proportion of Outstanding
Securities have authorized or agreed or consented to such request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, and for that
purpose the Outstanding Securities shall be computed as of such record date;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no such authorization, agreement or consent by the
Holders on such record date shall be deemed effective unless it shall become
effective pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture not later then eleven
months after the record date.

        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, any Security
Registrar, any Paying Agent, any Authenticating Agent or the Company in reliance
thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Security.

Section 1.5 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,

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

        (b) the Company by the Trustee or by any Holder shall be sufficient for
every purpose hereunder (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in
writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to the Company addressed to it
at the address of its principal office specified in the first paragraph of this
Indenture or at any other address previously furnished in writing to the Trustee
by the Company, Attention: Chief Financial Officer (with a copy to the Company's
general counsel); or

        (c) either the Trustee or the Company, by the other party shall be
sufficient for every purpose hereunder if given by facsimile transmission,
receipt confirmed by telephone followed by an original copy delivered by
guaranteed overnight courier; if to the Trustee at facsimile number (___)
________; and if to the Company at facsimile number (___) ________.

Section 1.6 NOTICE TO HOLDERS; WAIVER

        Where this Indenture provides for notice of any event to Holders of
Registered Securities by the Company or the Trustee, such notice shall be
sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing
and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each such Holder affected by such
event, at his address as it appears in the Security Register, not later than the

                                       11
<PAGE>   18

latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, if any, prescribed for the
giving of such notice. In any case where notice to Holders of Registered
Securities 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 of Registered
Securities or the sufficiency of any notice to Holders of Bearer Securities
given as provided herein. Any notice mailed to a Holder in the manner herein
prescribed shall be conclusively deemed to have been received by such Holder,
whether or not such Holder actually receives such notice.

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

        Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or otherwise specified
with respect to any Securities pursuant to Section 3.1, where this Indenture
provides for notice to Holders of Bearer Securities of any event, such notice
shall be sufficiently given if published in an Authorized Newspaper in the City
of New York and in such other city or cities as may be specified in such
Securities on a Business Day, such publication to be not later than the latest
date, and not earlier than the earliest date, if any, prescribed for the giving
of such notice. Any such notice shall be deemed to have been given on the date
of such publication or, if published more than once, on the date of the first
such publication.

        If by reason of the suspension of publication of any Authorized
Newspaper or Authorized Newspapers or by reason of any other cause it shall be
impracticable to publish any notice to Holders of Bearer Securities as provided
above, then such notification to Holders of Bearer Securities as shall be given
with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute sufficient notice to such
Holders for every purpose hereunder. Neither the failure to give notice by
publication to any particular Holder of Bearer Securities as provided above, nor
any defect in any notice so published, shall affect the sufficiency of such
notice with respect to other Holders of Bearer Securities or the sufficiency of
any notice to Holders of Registered Securities given as provided herein.

        Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver
required or permitted under this Indenture shall be in the English language,
except that any published notice may be in an official language of the country
of publication.

        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.

Section 1.7 COUNTERPARTS; EFFECT OF HEADINGS AND TABLE OF CONTENTS

        This Indenture may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of
which when executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts

Section 2.3 SECURITIES ISSUABLE IN GLOBAL FORM

        If Securities of or within a series are issuable in the form of one or
more Global Securities, any such Global Security or Securities may provide that
it or they shall represent the aggregate amount of all Outstanding Securities of
such series (or such lesser amount as is permitted by the terms thereof) from
time to time endorsed thereon and may also provide that the aggregate amount of
Outstanding Securities of such series represented thereby may from time to time
be increased or decreased to reflect exchanges. Any endorsement of any Global
Security to reflect the amount, or any increase or decrease in the amount, of
Outstanding Securities represented thereby shall be made by the Trustee in such
manner or by such Person or Persons as shall be specified therein or in the
Company Order to be delivered to the Trustee pursuant to Section 3.3 or 3.4.
Subject to the provisions of Section 3.3 and, if applicable, Section 3.4, the
Trustee shall deliver and redeliver any Global Security in permanent global form
in the manner and upon instructions given by the Person or Persons specified
therein or in the applicable Company Order. If a Company Order pursuant to
Section 3.3 or 3.4 has been, or simultaneously is, delivered, any instructions
by the Company with respect to endorsement or delivery or redelivery of a Global
Security shall be in writing but need not comply with Section 1.2 and need not
be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel.

        The provisions of the last sentence of Section 3.3 shall apply to any
Security represented by a Global Security if such Security was never issued and
sold by the Company and the Company delivers to the Trustee the Global Security
together with written instructions (which need not comply with Section 1.2 and
need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel) with regard to the reduction
in the principal amount of Securities represented thereby, together with the
written statement contemplated by the last sentence of Section 3.3.

        Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.7, unless otherwise
specified as contemplated by Section 3.1, payment of principal of and any
premium and interest on any Global Security shall be made to the Person or
Persons specified therein.

        Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.8 and except as provided in
the preceding paragraph, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company
and the Trustee shall treat as the Holder of such principal amount of
Outstanding Securities represented by a permanent Global Security (1) in the
case of a permanent Global Security in registered form, the Holder of such
permanent Global Security in registered form or (2) in the case of a permanent
Global Security in bearer form, Euroclear or CEDEL.

        Any Global Security authenticated and delivered hereunder shall bear a
legend, in addition to any other legend or legends permitted by Section 2.1, in
substantially the following form:

                This Security is a Global Security within the meaning set forth
                in the Indenture hereinafter referred to and is registered in
                the name of a depositary or a nominee of a depositary. This
                Security is exchangeable for Securities registered in the name
                of a person other than the depositary or its nominee only in the
                limited circumstances described in the Indenture, and, unless
                and until it is exchanged for Securities in definitive form as
                aforesaid, may not be transferred except as a whole by the
                depositary to a nominee of the depositary or by a nominee of the
                depositary to the depositary or another nominee of the

                depositary or by the depositary or its nominee to a successor
                depositary or its nominee.

Certificate or in any such indenture supplemental hereto. All Securities of any

Section 3.3 EXECUTION, AUTHENTICATION, DELIVERY AND DATING

        The Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto shall be executed on
behalf of the Company by its Chairman of the Board, President or one of its Vice
Presidents and attested by its Secretary or Treasurer or one of its Assistant
Secretaries or an Assistant Treasurer. The signature of any of these officers on
the Securities and coupons may be manual or facsimile signatures of the present
or any future such authorized officer and may be imprinted or otherwise
reproduced on the Securities.

        Securities or coupons 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 before the authentication and delivery of such Securities or
did not hold such offices at the date of such Securities or coupons.

        At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of
this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities of any series, together with
any coupons appertaining thereto, executed by the Company to the Trustee for
authentication, together with a Company Order for the authentication and
delivery of such Securities, and the Trustee in accordance with the Company
Order shall authenticate and deliver such Securities; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that,
in connection with its original issuance, no Bearer Security shall be mailed or
otherwise delivered to any location in the United States; and PROVIDED FURTHER
that, unless otherwise specified with respect to any series of Securities
pursuant to Section 3.1, a Bearer Security may be delivered in connection with
its original issuance only if the Person entitled to receive such

                                       19
<PAGE>   26

Bearer Security shall have furnished a certificate to Euroclear or CEDEL, as the
case may be, in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit A-1 to this
Indenture or such other certificate as may be specified with respect to any
series of Securities pursuant to Section 3.1, dated no earlier than 15 days
before the earlier of the date on which such Bearer Security is delivered and
the date on which any temporary Security first becomes exchangeable for such
Bearer Security in accordance with the terms of such temporary Security and this
Indenture. If any Security shall be represented by a permanent global Bearer
Security, then, for purposes of this Section 3.3 and Section 3.4, the notation
of a beneficial owner's interest therein upon original issuance of such Security
or upon exchange of a portion of a temporary Global Security shall be deemed to
be delivery in connection with its original issuance of such beneficial owner's
interest in such permanent Global Security. Except as permitted by Section 3.6,
the Trustee shall not authenticate and deliver any Bearer Security unless all
appurtenant coupons for interest then matured have been detached and cancelled.

        If all the Securities of any series are not to be issued at one time and
if the terms of such series as established in or pursuant to a Board Resolution
or supplemental indenture shall so permit, such Company Order may set forth
procedures acceptable to the Trustee for the issuance of such Securities and
determining the terms of particular Securities of such series, such as interest
rate or formula, maturity date, date of issuance and date from which interest
shall accrue.

        In authenticating Securities of any series, and accepting the additional
responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Securities, the
Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to TIA Section 315(a) through
315(d)) shall be fully protected in relying upon,

        (a) an Opinion of Counsel stating that:

                (i) the form or forms of such Securities and any coupons have
been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture;

                (ii) the terms of such Securities and any coupons have been
established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; and

                (iii) such Securities, together with any coupons appertaining
thereto, when completed by appropriate insertions and executed and delivered by
the Company to the Trustee for authentication in accordance with this Indenture,
authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in accordance with this Indenture and
issued by the Company in the manner and subject to any conditions specified in
such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of
the Company, enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization and other similar
laws of general applicability relating to or affecting the enforcement of
creditors' rights generally and to general equitable principles; and

        (b) an Officers' Certificate stating that all conditions precedent
provided for in this Indenture relating to the issuance of the Securities have
been complied with and that, to the best of the knowledge of the signers of such
certificate, no Event of Default with respect to any of the Securities shall
have occurred and be continuing.

        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 adversely affect the Trustee's own rights,
duties, obligations or immunities under the Securities and this Indenture or
otherwise in a manner which is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee.

                                       20
<PAGE>   27

        Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.1 and of the preceding
paragraph, if all the Securities of any series are not to be issued at one time,
it shall not be necessary to deliver an Officers' Certificate otherwise required
pursuant to Section 3.1 or a Company Order or an Opinion of Counsel or an
Officers' Certificate otherwise required pursuant to the preceding paragraph at
the time of issuance of each Security of such series, but such order, opinion
and certificates, with appropriate modifications to cover such future issuances,
shall be delivered at or before the time of issuance of the first Security of
such series.

        Each Registered Security shall be dated the date of its authentication
and each Bearer Security shall be dated as of the date specified as contemplated
by Section 3.1.

        No Security or coupon shall be entitled to any benefit under this
Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such
Security or Security to which such coupon appertains a certificate of
authentication substantially in the form provided for herein duly executed by
the Trustee by manual signature of an authorized signatory, and such certificate
upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such
security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and is entitled to
the benefits of this Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Security
(including a Global Security) shall have been authenticated and delivered
hereunder but never issued and sold by the Company, and the Company shall
deliver such Security to the Trustee for cancellation as provided in Section 3.9
together with a written statement (which need not comply with Section 1.2 and
need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel) stating that such Security has
never been issued and sold by the Company, for all purposes of this Indenture
such Security shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered
hereunder and shall never be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.

Section 3.4 TEMPORARY SECURITIES

        Pending the preparation of definitive Securities of any series, the
Company may execute, and upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver, temporary Securities which are printed, lithographed, typewritten,
mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination,
substantially of the tenor of the definitive Securities in lieu of which they
are issued, in registered form, or, if authorized, in bearer form with one or
more coupons or without coupons, and with such appropriate insertions,
omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers executing such
Securities may determine, as conclusively evidenced by their execution of such
Securities. In the case of Securities of any series, such temporary Securities
may be in global form.

        Except in the case of temporary Securities (which shall be exchanged as
otherwise provided herein or as otherwise provided in or pursuant to a Board
Resolution or supplemental indenture), 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
(accompanied by any nonmatured coupons appertaining thereto), the Company shall
execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a
like principal amount of definitive Securities of the same series of authorized
denominations; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no definitive Bearer Security shall be
delivered in exchange for a temporary Registered Security; and PROVIDED FURTHER
that a definitive Bearer Security shall be

                                       21
<PAGE>   28

delivered in exchange for a temporary Bearer Security only in compliance with
the conditions set forth in Section 3.3. 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.

        Unless otherwise provided in or pursuant to a Board Resolution, the
following provisions of this Section 3.4 shall govern the exchange of temporary
Securities other than through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company
("DTC"). If any such temporary Security is issued in global form, then such
temporary Global Security shall, unless otherwise provided therein, be delivered
to the London office of a depositary or common depositary (the "Common
Depositary"), for the benefit of Euroclear and CEDEL, for credit to the
respective accounts of the beneficial owners of such Securities (or to such
other accounts as they may direct).

        Without unnecessary delay but in any event not later than the date
specified in, or determined pursuant to the terms of, any such temporary Global
Security (the "Exchange Date"), the Company shall deliver to the Trustee
definitive Securities, in aggregate principal amount equal to the principal
amount of such temporary Global Security, executed by the Company. On or after
the Exchange Date, such temporary Global Security shall be surrendered by the
Common Depositary to the Trustee, as the Company's agent for such purpose, to be
exchanged, in whole or from time to time in part, for definitive Securities
without charge, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for
each portion of such temporary Global Security, an equal aggregate principal
amount of definitive Securities of the same series of authorized denominations
and of like tenor as the portion of such temporary Global Security to be
exchanged. The definitive Securities to be delivered in exchange for any such
temporary Global Security shall be in bearer form, registered form, permanent
global bearer form or permanent global registered form, or any combination
thereof, as specified as contemplated by Section 3.1, and, if any combination
thereof is so specified, as requested by the beneficial owner thereof; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that, unless otherwise specified in such temporary Global Security,
upon such presentation by the Common Depositary, such temporary Global Security
is accompanied by a certificate dated the Exchange Date or a subsequent date and
signed by Euroclear as to the portion of such temporary global security held for
its account then to be exchanged and a certificate dated the Exchange Date or a
subsequent date and signed by CEDEL as to the portion of such temporary Global
Security held for its account then to be exchanged, each in the form set forth
in Exhibit A-2 to this Indenture or in such other form as may be established
pursuant to Section 3.1; and PROVIDED FURTHER that definitive Bearer Securities
shall be delivered in exchange for a portion of a temporary Global Security only
in compliance with the requirements of Section 3.3.

        Unless otherwise specified in such temporary Global Security, the
interest of a beneficial owner of Securities of a series in a temporary Global
Security shall be exchanged for definitive Securities of the same series and of
like tenor following the Exchange Date when the account holder instructs
Euroclear or CEDEL, as the case may be, to request such exchange on his behalf
and delivers to Euroclear or CEDEL, as the case may be, a certificate in the
form set forth in Exhibit A-2 to this Indenture (or in such other form as may be
established pursuant to Section 3.1), dated no earlier than 15 days prior to the
Exchange Date, copies of which certificate shall be available from the offices
of Euroclear and CEDEL, the Trustee, any Authenticating Agent appointed for such
series of Securities and each Paying Agent. Unless otherwise specified in such
temporary Global Security, any such exchange shall be made free of charge to the
beneficial owners of such temporary Global Security, except that a Person
receiving definitive Securities must bear the cost of insurance, postage,
transportation and the like unless such Person takes delivery of such definitive
Securities in person at the offices of Euroclear or CEDEL.

                                       22
<PAGE>   29

Definitive Securities in bearer form to be delivered in exchange for any portion
of a temporary Global Security shall be delivered only outside the United
States.

        Until exchanged in full as hereinabove provided, the temporary
Securities of any series shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits
under this Indenture as definitive Securities of the same series and of like
tenor authenticated and delivered hereunder, except that, unless otherwise
specified as contemplated by Section 3.1, interest payable on a temporary Global
Security on an Interest Payment Date for Securities of such series occurring
prior to the applicable Exchange Date shall be payable to Euroclear and CEDEL on
such Interest Payment Date upon delivery by Euroclear and CEDEL to the Trustee
of a certificate or certificates in the form set forth in Exhibit A-2 to this
Indenture (or in such other forms as may be established pursuant to Section
3.1), for credit without further interest on or after such Interest Payment Date
to the respective accounts of Persons who are the beneficial owners of such
temporary Global Security on such Interest Payment Date and who have each
delivered to Euroclear or CEDEL, as the case may be, a certificate dated no
earlier than 15 days prior to the Interest Payment Date occurring prior to such
Exchange Date in the form set forth in Exhibit A-2 to this Indenture (or in such
other forms as may be established pursuant to Section 3.1). Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein contained, the certifications made pursuant to
this paragraph shall satisfy the certification requirements of the preceding two
paragraphs and of the third paragraph or Section 3.3 and the interests of the
Persons who are the beneficial owners of the temporary Global Security with
respect to which such certification was made will be exchanged for definitive
Securities of the same series and of like tenor on the Exchange Date or the date
of certification if such date occurs after the Exchange Date, without further
act or deed by such beneficial owners. Except as otherwise provided in this
paragraph, no payments of principal or interest owing with respect to a
beneficial interest in a temporary Global Security will be made unless and until
such interest in such temporary Global Security shall have been exchanged for an
interest in a definitive Security. Any interest so received by Euroclear and
CEDEL and not paid as herein provided shall be returned to the Trustee prior to
the expiration of two years after such Interest Payment Date in order to be
repaid to the Company.

Section 3.5 REGISTRATION, REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE

        The Company shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the
Trustee or in any office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment a
register for each series of Securities (the registers maintained in such office
or in any such office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment being
herein sometimes referred to collectively 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
Security Register shall be in written form or any other form capable of being
converted into written form within a reasonable time. The Trustee, at its
Corporate Trust Office, is hereby initially appointed "Security Registrar" for
the purpose of registering Securities and transfers of Securities on such
Security Register as herein provided. If the Trustee shall cease to be Security
Registrar, it shall have the right to examine the Security Register at all
reasonable times.

        Subject to the provisions of this Section 3.5, upon surrender for
registration of transfer of any Registered Security of any series at any 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 a like aggregate principal
amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding, and containing
identical terms and provisions.

                                       23
<PAGE>   30

        Subject to the provisions of this Section 3.5, at the option of the
Holder, Securities of any series may be exchanged for other Securities of the
same series, of any authorized denomination or denominations and of a like
aggregate principal amount, containing identical terms and provisions, upon
surrender of the Securities to be exchanged at any such office or agency.
Whenever any such 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. Unless otherwise
specified with respect to any series of Securities as contemplated by Section
3.1, Bearer Securities may not be issued in exchange for Registered Securities.

        If (but only if) permitted by the applicable Board Resolution and
(subject to Section 3.3) set forth in the applicable Officers' Certificate, or
in any indenture supplemental hereto, delivered as contemplated by Section 3.1,
at the option of the Holder, Bearer Securities of any series may be exchanged
for Registered Securities of the same series of any authorized denominations and
of a like aggregate principal amount and tenor, upon surrender of the Bearer
Securities to be exchanged at any such office or agency, with all unmatured
coupons and all matured coupons in default thereto appertaining. If the Holder
of a Bearer Security is unable to produce any such unmatured coupon or coupons
or matured coupon or coupons in default, any such permitted exchange may be
effected if the Bearer Securities are accompanied by payment in funds acceptable
to the Company in an amount equal to the face amount of such missing coupon or
coupons, or the surrender of such missing coupon or coupons may be waived by the
Company and the Trustee if there is furnished to them such security or indemnity
as they may require to save each of them and any Paying Agent harmless. If
thereafter the Holder of such Security shall surrender to any Paying Agent any
such missing coupon in respect of which such a payment shall have been made,
such Holder shall be entitled to receive the amount of such payment; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that, except as otherwise provided in Section 10.2, interest
represented by coupons shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of
those coupons at an office or agency located outside the United States.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in case a Bearer Security of any series is
surrendered at any such office or agency in a permitted exchange for a
Registered Security of the same series and like tenor after the close of
business at such office or agency on (1) any Regular Record Date and before the
opening of business at such office or agency on the relevant Interest Payment
Date, or (2) any Special Record Date and before the opening of business at such
office or agency on the related proposed date for payment of Defaulted Interest,
such Bearer Security shall be surrendered without the coupon relating to such
Interest Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as the case may be, and
interest or Defaulted Interest, as the case may be, will not be payable on such
Interest Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as the case may be, in
respect of the Registered Security issued in exchange for such Bearer Security,
but will be payable only to the Holder of such coupon when due in accordance
with the provisions of this Indenture. 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.

        Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as otherwise specified as
contemplated by Section 3.1, any permanent Global Security shall be exchangeable
only as provided in this paragraph. If the depositary for any permanent Global
Security is DTC, then, unless the terms of such Global Security expressly permit
such Global Security to be exchanged in whole or in part for definitive
Securities, a Global Security may be transferred, in whole but not in part, only
to a nominee of DTC, or by a nominee of DTC to DTC, or to a successor to DTC for
such Global Security selected or approved by the Company or to a nominee of such
successor to DTC. If at any time (i) DTC notifies the Company that it is
unwilling or unable to continue as depositary or if DTC ceases to be a clearing
agency registered as such under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as

                                       24
<PAGE>   31

amended, at any time when the depositary is required to be so registered in
order to act as depositary for the applicable Global Security and a successor
depositary is not appointed within 90 days after the Company receives such
notice or learns of such ineligibility, (ii) the Company determines that the
Securities of a series shall no longer be represented by a Global Security and
executes and delivers to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate to such effect or
(iii) an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of such series shall
have occurred and be continuing and beneficial owners representing a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series advise
DTC to cease acting as depositary for the applicable Global Security, then the
Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver,
definitive Securities of like series, rank, tenor and terms in definitive form
in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Global
Security or Securities. If any beneficial owner of an interest in a permanent
Global Security is otherwise entitled to exchange such interest for Securities
of such series and of like tenor and principal amount of another authorized form
and denomination, as specified as contemplated by Section 3.1 and provided that
any applicable notice provided in the permanent Global Security shall have been
given, then without unnecessary delay but in any event not later than the
earliest date on which such interest may be so exchanged, the Company shall
execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, definitive Securities
in aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such beneficial
owner's interest in such permanent Global Security. On or after the earliest
date on which such interests may be so exchanged, such permanent Global Security
shall be surrendered for exchange by DTC or such other depositary as shall be
specified in the Company Order with respect thereto to the Trustee, as the
Company's agent for such purpose; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no Bearer Security
delivered in exchange for a portion of a permanent Global Security shall be
mailed or otherwise delivered to any location in the United States. If a
Registered Security is issued in exchange for any portion of a permanent Global
Security after the close of business at the office or agency where such exchange
occurs on (i) any Regular Record Date and before the opening of business at such
office or agency on the relevant Interest Payment Date or (ii) any Special
Record Date and the opening of business at such office or agency on the related
proposed date for payment of Defaulted Interest, interest or Defaulted Interest,
as the case may be, will not be payable on such Interest Payment Date or
proposed date for payment, as the case may be, in respect of such Registered
Security, but will be payable on such Interest Payment Date or proposed date for
payment, as the case may be, only to the Person to whom interest in respect of
such portion of such permanent Global Security is payable in accordance with the
provisions of this Indenture.

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

        No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or
exchange of Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient
to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection
with any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, other than
exchanges pursuant to Section 3.4, 9.6, 11.7 or 13.5 or the second sentence of
the third preceding paragraph not involving any transfer.

                                       25
<PAGE>   32

        Neither the Company nor the Trustee shall be required to (1) issue,
register the transfer of or exchange any Security if such Security may be among
those selected for redemption during a period beginning at the opening of
business 15 days before the mailing or first publication, as the case may be, of
notice of redemption of such Securities and ending at the close of business on
(A) if such Securities are issuable only as Registered Securities, the day of
the mailing of the relevant notice of redemption and (B) if such Securities are
issuable as Bearer Securities, the day of the first publication of the relevant
notice of redemption or, if such Securities are also issuable as Registered
Securities and there is no publication, the day of mailing of the relevant
notice of redemption, or (2) register the transfer of or exchange any Registered
Security, or portion thereof, so selected for redemption in whole or in part,
except, in the case of any Registered Security to be redeemed in part, the
portion thereof not to be redeemed, or (3) exchange any Bearer Security so
selected for redemption, except that such Bearer Security may be exchanged for a
Registered Security of that series and like tenor; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that such
Registered Security shall be simultaneously surrendered for redemption, or (4)
issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Security which has been
surrendered for repayment at the option of the Holder, except the portion, if
any, of such Security not to be so repaid.

Section 3.6 MUTILATED, DESTROYED, LOST AND STOLEN SECURITIES

        If any mutilated Security or a Security with a mutilated coupon
appertaining to it is surrendered to the Trustee or the Company, together with,
in proper cases, such security or indemnity as may be required by the Company or
the Trustee to save each of them or any agent of either 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 principal amount, containing
identical terms and provisions and bearing a number not contemporaneously
outstanding, with coupons corresponding to the coupons, if any, appertaining to
the surrendered Security.

        If there shall be delivered to the Company and to the Trustee (1)
evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security
or coupon and (2) 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 or coupon has been
acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and upon its
request the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such
destroyed, lost or stolen Security or in exchange for the Security to which a
destroyed, lost or stolen coupon appertains (with all appurtenant coupons not
destroyed, lost or stolen), a new Security of the same series and principal
amount, containing identical terms and provisions and bearing a number not
contemporaneously outstanding, with coupons corresponding to the coupons, if
any, appertaining to such destroyed, lost or stolen Security or to the Security
to which such destroyed, lost or stolen coupon appertains.

        Notwithstanding the provisions of the previous two paragraphs, in case
any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security or coupon has become or
is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead
of issuing a new Security, with coupons corresponding to the coupons, if any,
appertaining to such destroyed, lost or stolen Security or to the Security to
which such destroyed, lost or stolen coupon appertains, pay such Security or
coupon; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that payment of principal of (and premium, if any),
any interest on and any Additional Amounts with respect to Bearer Securities
shall, except as otherwise provided in Section 10.2, be payable only at an
office or agency located outside the United States and, unless otherwise
specified as contemplated by Section 3.1, any interest on Bearer Securities
shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of the coupons
appertaining thereto.

                                       26
<PAGE>   33

        Upon the issuance of any new Security under this Section 3.6, the
Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other
expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith.

        Every new Security of any series with its coupons, if any, issued
pursuant to this Section 3.6 in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Security,
or in exchange for a Security to which a destroyed, lost or stolen coupon
appertains, shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of
the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security and its
coupons, if any, or the destroyed, lost or stolen coupon 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 and their coupons, if any, duly issued hereunder.

        The provisions of this Section 3.6 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 or coupons.

Section 3.7 PAYMENT OF INTEREST; INTEREST RIGHTS PRESERVED

        Except as otherwise specified with respect to a series of Securities in
accordance with the provisions of Section 3.1, interest on any Registered
Security that is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any
Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Security
(or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business
on the Regular Record Date for such interest in the relevant Security Register;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, except as otherwise specified with respect to a series
of Securities in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.1, each installment
of interest on any Registered Security may at the Company's option be paid by
(1) mailing a check for such interest, payable to or upon the written order of
the Person entitled thereto, to the address of such Person as it appears on the
Security Register or (2) wire transfer to an account maintained by the payee
located inside the United States.

        Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 3.1 with respect to
the Securities of any series, payment of interest may be made, in the case of a
Bearer Security, by transfer to an account maintained by the payee with a bank
located outside the United States.

        Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 3.1, every
permanent Global Security will provide that interest, if any, payable on any
Interest Payment Date will be paid to DTC, Euroclear and/or CEDEL, as the case
may be, with respect to that portion of such permanent Global Security held for
its account by Cede & Co. or the Common Depositary or other nominee, as the case
may be, for the purpose of permitting such party to credit the interest received
by it in respect of such permanent Global Security to the accounts of the
beneficial owners thereof.

        In case a Bearer Security of any series is surrendered in exchange for a
Registered Security of such series after the close of business (at an office or
agency in a Place of Payment for such series) on any Regular Record Date and
before the opening of business (at such office or agency) on the next succeeding
Interest Payment Date, such Bearer Security shall be surrendered without the
coupon relating to such Interest Payment Date and interest will not be payable
on such Interest Payment Date in respect of the Registered Security issued in
exchange for such Bearer Security, but will be payable only to the Holder of
such coupon when due in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.

                                       27
<PAGE>   34

        Except as otherwise specified with respect to a series of Securities in
accordance with the provisions of Section 3.1, any interest on any Registered
Security of any series that is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly
provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (herein called "Defaulted Interest")
shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered Holder thereof 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 paragraph (a) or (b) below:

        (a) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to
the Persons in whose names the Securities of such series (or their respective
Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on a Special
Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in
the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the
amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Registered Security of
such series and the date of the proposed payment (which shall not be less than
20 days after such notice is received by the Trustee), and at the same time the
Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money in the currency or
currencies, currency unit or units or composite currency or currencies in which
the Securities of such series are payable (except as otherwise specified
pursuant to Section 3.1 for the Securities of such series) 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 on or prior
to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in
trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in
this clause provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for
the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 days and
not less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less
than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed
payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such Special Record
Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of
the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date
therefor to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder of Securities
of such series at his address as it appears in the Security Register not less
than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. The Trustee may, in its
discretion, in the name and at the expense of the Company, cause a similar
notice to be published at least once in an Authorized Newspaper in each Place of
Payment, but such publication shall not be a condition precedent to the
establishment of such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of
such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been mailed
as aforesaid, 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 paragraph (b). In case a Bearer
Security of any series is surrendered at the office or agency in a Place of
Payment for such series in exchange for a Registered Security of such series
after the close of business at such office or agency on any Special Record Date
and before the opening of business at such office or agency on the related
proposed date for payment of Defaulted Interest, such Bearer Security shall be
surrendered without the coupon relating to such proposed date of payment and
Defaulted Interest will not be payable on such proposed date of payment in
respect of the Registered Security issued in exchange for such Bearer Security,
but will be payable only to the Holder of such coupon when due in accordance
with the provisions of this Indenture.

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

                                       28
<PAGE>   35

        Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.7 and Section 3.5,
each Security delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or
in exchange for or in lieu of any other Security shall carry the rights to
interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other
Security.

Section 3.8 PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS

        Prior to due presentment of a Registered 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 Registered Security is registered as the
owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of (and
premium, if any), and (subject to Sections 3.5 and 3.7) interest on, such
Registered Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such
Registered 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.
All such payments so made to any such Person, or upon such Person's order, shall
be valid, and, to the extent of the sum or sums so paid, effectual to satisfy
and discharge the liability for money payable upon any such Security.

        Title to any Bearer Security and any coupons appertaining thereto shall
pass by delivery. The Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the
Trustee may treat the Holder of any Bearer Security and the Holder of any coupon
as the absolute owner of such Security or coupon for the purpose of receiving
payment thereof or on account thereof and for all other purposes whatsoever,
whether or not such Security or coupon 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.

        No holder of any beneficial interest in any Global Security held on its
behalf by a depositary shall have any rights under this Indenture with respect
to such Global Security and such depositary (or its nominee) shall be treated by
the Company, the Trustee, and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the
owner of such Global Security for all purposes whatsoever. None of the Company,
the Trustee, any Paying Agent or the Security Registrar will have any
responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or
payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests of a Global Security
or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such
beneficial ownership interests.

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

Section 3.9 CANCELLATION

        All Securities and coupons surrendered for payment, redemption,
repayment at the option of the Holder, registration of transfer or exchange or
conversion or for credit against any sinking fund payment shall, if surrendered
to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee, and any such
Securities and coupons and Securities and coupons surrendered directly to the
Trustee for any such purpose shall be promptly cancelled by it. The Company may
at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously
authenticated

                                       29
<PAGE>   36

and delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner
whatsoever, and may deliver to the Trustee (or to any other Person for delivery
to the Trustee) for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated
hereunder which the Company has not issued and sold, and all Securities so
delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee. If the Company shall so
acquire any of the Securities, however, such acquisition shall not operate as a
redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Securities
unless and until the same are surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation. No
Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Securities
cancelled as provided in this Section 3.9, except as expressly permitted by this
Indenture. Cancelled Securities and coupons held by the Trustee shall be
returned to the Company.

                (ii) all Securities of such series and, in the case of (A) or
(B) below, any coupons appertaining thereto not theretofore delivered to the

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 (A), (B) or (C) above, has irrevocably deposited
or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust for such
purpose an amount in the currency or currencies, currency unit or units or
composite currency or currencies in which the Securities of such series are
payable, sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on such

Additional Amounts with respect thereto, to the date of such deposit (in the
case of Securities which have become due and payable) or to the Stated Maturity

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

Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the
obligations of the Company to the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee under
Section 6.6, the obligations of the Company to any Authenticating Agent under
Section 6.11 and, if money shall have been deposited with and held by the

obligations of the Company under Sections 3.4, 3.5, 3.6 and 10.2 and 10.3 and
the obligations of the Trustee under Section 4.2 and the last paragraph or
Section 10.3 shall survive.

Section 4.2 APPLICATION OF TRUST FUNDS

        Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 10.3, all
money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.1 shall be held in trust
and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Securities, the
coupons and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any
Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the
Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto of the principal (and
premium, if any) and any interest and Additional Amounts for whose payment such
money has been deposited with or received by the Trustee, but such money need
not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

in this Indenture solely for the benefit of one or more series of Securities
other than such series), and continuance of such default or breach for a period
of 60 days after there has been given, by registered or certified mail, to the

of (1) $25,000,000 and (2) 5% of the Consolidated Net Tangible Assets of the
Company, whether such indebtedness exists on the date of this Indenture or shall

becoming or being declared due and payable prior to the date on which it would
otherwise have become due and payable or such obligations being accelerated,
without such acceleration having been rescinded or annulled within 30 days; or

        (f) the Company or any Significant Subsidiary of the Company pursuant to
or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law:

                (i) commences a voluntary case or proceeding or files a petition

Section 5.2 ACCELERATION OF MATURITY; RESCISSION AND ANNULMENT

        If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series at the
time Outstanding occurs and is continuing, then and in every such case the
Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of that series may declare the principal amount (or, if
Securities of that series are Original Issue Discount Securities or Indexed
Securities, such portion of the principal as may be specified in the terms
thereof) of all the Securities of that series to be due and payable immediately,
by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by the
Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal or specified portion
thereof shall become immediately due and payable.

        At any time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to
Securities of any series has been made and before a judgment or decree for
payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in this
Article Five provided, the Holders of not less than 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 of acceleration
and its consequences if:

        (a) the Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient
to pay in the currency, currency unit or composite currency in which the
Securities of such series are payable (except as otherwise specified pursuant to
Section 3.1 for the Securities of such series):

                (i) all overdue installments of interest on and any Additional
Amounts payable in respect of all Outstanding Securities of that series and any
related coupons;

                                       33
<PAGE>   40

                (ii) the principal of (and premium, if any, on) any Outstanding
Securities of that series which have become due otherwise than by such
declaration of acceleration and interest thereon at the rate or rates borne by
or provided for, as the case may be, in such Securities;

                (iii) to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful,
interest upon overdue installments of interest and any Additional Amounts at the
rate or rates borne by or provided for in, as the case may be, such Securities;
and

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

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

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

Section 5.3 COLLECTION OF INDEBTEDNESS AND SUITS FOR ENFORCEMENT BY TRUSTEE

        The Company covenants that if:

        (a) default is made in the payment of any installment of interest or
Additional Amounts, if any, on any Security of any series and any related coupon
when such interest or Additional Amount becomes due and payable and such default
continues for a period of 30 days or

        (b) default is made in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if
any, on) any Security of any series at its Maturity,

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

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

                                       34
<PAGE>   41

        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
and any related coupons 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 5.4 TRUSTEE MAY FILE PROOFS OF CLAIM

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

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

        (b) to collect and receive any money 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 of
Securities of such series and coupons to make such payments to the Trustee, and
if the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the
Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee and any
predecessor Trustee, their agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the
Trustee or any predecessor Trustee under Section 6.6.

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

        In any proceedings brought by the Trustee (and also any proceedings
involving the interpretation of any provision of this Indenture to which the
Trustee shall be a party), the Trustee shall be held to represent all the
Holders of the Securities, and it shall not be necessary to make any Holders of
the Securities parties to any such proceedings.

Section 5.5 TRUSTEE MAY ENFORCE CLAIMS WITHOUT POSSESSION OF SECURITIES OR
            COUPONS

        All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or any of the
Securities or coupons may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the
possession of any of the Securities or

                                       35
<PAGE>   42

coupons or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any
such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as
trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision
for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and
advances of the Trustee and its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit
of the Holders of the Securities and coupons in respect of which such judgment
has been recovered.

Section 5.6 APPLICATION OF MONEY COLLECTED

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

                FIRST: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee and any
        predecessor Trustee under Section 6.6;

                SECOND: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid upon
        the Securities and coupons for the principal (and premium, if any) and
        interest and any Additional Amounts payable, 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 aggregate amounts
        due and payable on such Securities and coupons for principal (and
        premium, if any), interest and Additional Amounts, respectively; and

                THIRD: To the payment of the remainder, if any, to the Company.

Section 5.7 LIMITATION ON SUITS

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

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

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

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

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

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

                                       36
<PAGE>   43

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

Section 5.8 UNCONDITIONAL RIGHTS OF HOLDERS TO RECEIVE PRINCIPAL, PREMIUM, IF
            ANY, INTEREST AND ADDITIONAL AMOUNTS

        Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any
Security or coupon shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to
receive payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and (subject to
Sections 3.5 and 3.7) interest on, and any Additional Amounts in respect of,
such Security or coupon on the respective due dates expressed in such Security
or coupon (or, in the case of redemption at the option of the Company or
repayment at the option of the Holder, on the relevant Redemption Date or
Repayment Date, as applicable) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any
such payment, and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such
Holder.

Section 5.9 RESTORATION OF RIGHTS AND REMEDIES

        If the Trustee or any Holder of a Security or coupon 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, the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of Securities and coupons shall,
subject to any determination in such proceeding, be restored severally and
respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and
remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such
proceeding had been instituted.

Section 5.10 RIGHTS AND REMEDIES CUMULATIVE

        To the extent permitted by law and except as otherwise provided with
respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen
Securities or coupons in the last paragraph of Section 3.6, no right or remedy
herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders of Securities
or coupons 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. To the extent permitted by law, the
assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall
not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate
right or remedy.

Section 5.11 DELAY OR OMISSION NOT WAIVER

        No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Security or
coupon 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
Five 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
of Securities or coupons, as the case may be.

Section 5.12 CONTROL BY HOLDERS OF SECURITIES

                                       37
<PAGE>   44

        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

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

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

        (c) the Trustee need not take any action which might involve it in
personal liability or be unduly prejudicial to the Holders of Securities of such
series not joining therein.

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

Section 5.13 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 and any related coupons waive any past default
hereunder with respect to such series and its consequences, except a default

        (a) in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest
on or Additional Amounts payable in respect of any Security of such series or
any related coupons or

        (b) 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 Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 5.14 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 5.15 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

                                       38
<PAGE>   45

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 any undertaking to pay the costs of such
suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs,
including reasonable attorneys' fees, against any party litigant in such suit
having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by
such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section 5.15 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% in principal amount of
the Outstanding Securities of any series, or to any suit instituted by any
Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of (or premium, if
any) or interest on or Additional Amounts in respect of any Security on or after
the respective Stated Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of
redemption at the option of the Company or repayment at the option of the
Holder, on or after the relevant Redemption Date or Repayment Date, as
applicable).

        Within 90 days after the occurrence of any default hereunder with
respect to the Securities of any series, the Trustee shall transmit in the
manner and to the extent provided in TIA Section 313(c), notice of such default
hereunder known to the Trustee, unless such default shall have been cured or
waived; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, except in the case of a default in the payment
of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on or any Additional
Amounts with respect to any Security of such series, or in the payment of any
sinking fund installment with respect to the Securities of such series, the
Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as
Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good faith determine that the withholding
of such notice is in the interest of the Holders of the Securities and coupons
of such series; and PROVIDED FURTHER that in the case of any default or breach
of the character specified in Section 5.1(d) with respect to the Securities and
coupons of such series, no such notice to Holders shall be given until at least
60 days after the occurrence thereof. For the purpose of this Section 6.1, 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 the Securities of such
series.

Section 6.2 CERTAIN RIGHTS OF TRUSTEE

        Subject to the provisions of TIA Section 315(a) through 315(d):

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

        (b) any request or direction of the Company mentioned herein shall be
sufficiently evidenced by a Company Request or Company Order (other than
delivery of any Security, together with any coupons appertaining thereto, to the
Trustee for authentication and delivery pursuant to Section 3.3 which shall be
sufficiently evidenced as provided therein) and any resolution of the Board of
Directors may be sufficiently evidenced by a Board Resolution;

        (c) whenever in the administration of this Indenture the Trustee shall
deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking,
suffering or omitting any action

                                       39
<PAGE>   46

hereunder, the Trustee (unless other evidence be herein specifically prescribed)
may, in the absence of bad faith on its part, rely upon an Officers'
Certificate;

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

        (e) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the
rights or power vested in it by this Indenture at the request or direction of
any of the Holders of Securities of any series or any related coupons pursuant
to this Indenture, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee
security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs,
expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such
request or direction;

        (f) the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the
facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument,
opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture,
note, coupon or other paper or document, unless requested in writing so to do by
the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of any series; PROVIDED that, if the payment within a
reasonable time to the Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to
be incurred by it in the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the
Trustee, not reasonably assured to the Trustee by the security afforded to it by
the terms of this Indenture, the Trustee may require reasonable indemnity
against such expenses or liabilities as a condition to proceeding; the
reasonable expenses of every such examination shall be paid by the Holders or,
if paid by the Trustee, shall be repaid by the Holders upon demand. The Trustee,
in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such
facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make
such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the
books, records and premises of the Company, relevant to the facts or matters
that are the subject of its inquiry, personally or by agent or attorney;

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

of Holders; and

        (i) the Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered or
omitted by it in good faith and reasonably believed by it to be authorized or
within the discretion, rights or power conferred upon it by this Indenture.

        The Trustee shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds or
otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties
hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have
reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate
indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

        Except during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Trustee
undertakes to perform only such duties as are specifically set forth in this
Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this
Indenture against the Trustee.

Section 6.3 NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR RECITALS OR ISSUANCE OF SECURITIES

        The recitals contained herein and in the Securities, except the
Trustee's certificate of authentication, and in any coupons 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 or coupons, except that the Trustee represents that it is duly
authorized to execute and deliver this Indenture, authenticate the Securities
and perform its obligations hereunder. Neither the Trustee nor any
Authenticating Agent shall be accountable for the use or application by the
Company of Securities or the proceeds thereof.

Section 6.4 MAY HOLD SECURITIES

        The Trustee, any Paying Agent, Security Registrar, Authenticating Agent
or any other agent of the Company, in its individual or any other capacity, may
become the owner or pledgee of Securities and coupons and subject to TIA Section
s 310(b) and 311, and may otherwise deal with the Company with the same rights
it would have if it were not Trustee, Paying Agent, Security Registrar,
Authenticating Agent or such other agent.

Section 6.5 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 6.6 COMPENSATION AND REIMBURSEMENT

        The Company shall pay to the Trustee from time to time reasonable
compensation for its acceptance of this Indenture and services hereunder. The
Trustee's compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a
trustee of an express trust. The Company shall reimburse the Trustee promptly
upon request for all reasonable disbursements, advances and expenses incurred or
made by it in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses shall
include the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee's
agents and counsel.

        The Company shall indemnify the Trustee against any and all losses,
liabilities or expenses incurred by it arising out of or in connection with the
acceptance or administration of its duties under this Indenture, including the
costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against the Company (including
this Section 6.6) and defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by
the Company or any Holder or any other person) or liability in connection with
the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder, except to
the extent any such loss, liability or expense may be attributable to its
negligence or bad faith. The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any
claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the
Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder. The Company
shall defend the claim and the Trustee shall cooperate in the defense. The
Trustee may have separate counsel and the Company shall pay reasonable fees and
expenses of such counsel. The Company need not pay for any settlement made
without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

        The obligations of the Company under this Section 6.6 shall survive the
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

                                       41
<PAGE>   48

        To secure the Company's payment obligations in this Section, the Trustee
shall have a Lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected
by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal and interest on
particular Notes. Such Lien shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this
Indenture.

        When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of
Default specified in Section 5.1(f) or Section 5.1(g) hereof occurs, the
expenses and the compensation for the services (including the fees and expenses
of its agents and counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of administration
under any Bankruptcy Law.

        The Trustee shall comply with the provisions of TIA Section 313(b)(2) to
the extent applicable.

Section 6.7 CORPORATE TRUSTEE REQUIRED; ELIGIBILITY; CONFLICTING INTERESTS

        There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder which shall be eligible
to act as Trustee under TIA Section 310(a)(1) and shall have a combined capital
and surplus of at least $50,000,000. If such corporation publishes reports of
condition at least annually, pursuant to law or the requirements of federal,
state, territorial or District of Columbia supervising or examining authority,
then for the purposes of this Section 6.7, the combined capital and surplus of
such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set
forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time the
Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this
Section 6.7, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect
hereinafter specified in this Article Six. Neither the Company nor any Affiliate
of the Company shall serve as Trustee.

Section 6.8 RESIGNATION AND REMOVAL; APPOINTMENT OF SUCCESSOR

        No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a
successor Trustee pursuant to this Article Six shall become effective until the
acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee in accordance with the
applicable requirements of Section 6.9.

        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 an instrument
of acceptance by a successor Trustee shall not have been delivered to the
Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such notice or resignation, the
resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of a successor Trustee.

        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:

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

                                       42
<PAGE>   49

        (b) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 6.7 and shall
fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any Holder of
a Security who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six
months; or

        (c) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting or shall be adjudged a
bankrupt or insolvent or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be
appointed or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or
of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or
liquidation, then, in any such case, (i) the Company by or pursuant to a Board
Resolution may remove the Trustee and appoint a successor Trustee with respect
to all Securities or (ii) subject to TIA Section 315(e), any Holder of a
Security 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 or pursuant to 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). 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, 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 of Securities
and accepted appointment in the manner hereinafter provided, any Holder of a
Security 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 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 in the manner
provided for notices to the Holders of Securities in Section 1.6. 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 6.9 ACCEPTANCE OF APPOINTMENT BY SUCCESSOR

        In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect
to all Securities, every such successor Trustee 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 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 retiring Trustee, and shall duly assign, transfer and
deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by

                                       43
<PAGE>   50

such retiring Trustee hereunder, subject nevertheless to its claim, if any,
provided for in Section 6.6.

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

        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 this
Section 6.9, 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 Six.

Section 6.10 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 of 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 Six, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on
the part of the parties hereto. In case any Securities or coupons shall have
been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any
successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee
may adopt such authentication and deliver the Securities or coupons so
authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself
authenticated such Securities or coupons. In case any Securities or coupons
shall not have been authenticated by such predecessor Trustee, any such
successor Trustee may authenticate and deliver such Securities or

                                       44
<PAGE>   51

coupons, in either its own name or that of its predecessor Trustee, with the
full force and effect which this Indenture provides for the certificate of
authentication of the Trustee.

Section 6.11 APPOINTMENT OF AUTHENTICATING AGENT

        At any time when any of the Securities remain Outstanding, 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 exchange, registration of
transfer or partial redemption or repayment thereof, 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. Any such appointment shall be evidenced by an instrument in writing
signed by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, a copy of which instrument shall
be promptly furnished to the Company. 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 bank or trust company or
corporation organized and doing business and in good standing under the laws of
the United States or of any state 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 authorities. If such Authenticating Agent publishes reports of
condition at least annually, pursuant to law or the requirements of the
aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this
Section 6.11, 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. In case at any time an Authenticating
Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this
Section 6.11, such Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately in the manner
and with the effect specified in this Section 6.11.

        Any corporation into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or
converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting
from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent
shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate agency or
corporate trust business of an Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be an
Authenticating Agent, provided such corporation shall be otherwise eligible
under this Section 6.11, without the execution or filing of any paper or further
act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent.

        An Authenticating Agent for any series of Securities may at any time
resign by giving written notice of resignation to the Trustee for such series
and to the Company. The Trustee for any series of Securities may at any time
terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice of
termination 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 6.11, the Trustee for such series may appoint a
successor Authenticating Agent which shall be acceptable to the Company and
shall give notice of such appointment to all Holders of Securities of the series
with respect to which such Authenticating Agent will serve in the manner set
forth in Section 1.6. 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 herein. No

                                       45
<PAGE>   52

successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the
provisions of this Section 6.11.

        The Company agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time
reasonable compensation, including reimbursement of its reasonable expenses for
its services under this Section 6.11.

        If an appointment with respect to one or more series is made pursuant to
this Section 6.11, the Securities of such series may have endorsed thereon, in
addition to or in lieu of the Trustee's certificate of authentication, an
alternate certificate of authentication substantially in the following form:

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

                                                                  , as Trustee

incurred, created or assumed as a result thereof as having been created,
incurred or assumed, by the Company or such Subsidiary at the time of such
transaction, no Event of Default, and no event which, after notice or the lapse
of time, or both, would become an Event of Default, shall have occurred and be
continuing.

Section 8.2 RIGHTS AND DUTIES OF SUCCESSOR ENTITY

        In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale, lease or conveyance and
upon any such assumption by the successor corporation in accordance with the
provisions of Section 8.1, such successor corporation shall succeed to and be
substituted for the Company, with the same effect as if it had been named herein
as the party of the first part, and the predecessor corporation, except in the
event of a lease, shall be relieved of any further obligation under this
Indenture and the Securities. Such successor corporation thereupon 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 corporation, instead of the Company, and subject to all the
terms, conditions and limitations in this Indenture prescribed, the Trustee
shall authenticate and shall deliver any Securities which previously shall have
been signed and delivered by the officers of the Company to the Trustee for
authentication, and any Securities which such successor corporation thereafter
shall cause to be signed and delivered to the Trustee for that purpose. All the
Securities so issued shall in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit
under this Indenture as the Securities theretofore or thereafter issued in
accordance with the terms of this Indenture as though all of such Securities had
been issued at the date of the execution hereof.

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

Section 8.3 OFFICERS' CERTIFICATE AND OPINION OF COUNSEL

        Any consolidation, merger, sale, lease or conveyance permitted under
Section 8.1 is also subject to the condition that the Trustee receive an
Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that any such
consolidation, merger, sale, lease or conveyance, and the assumption by any
successor corporation, complies with the provisions of this Article Eight and
that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to such transaction
have been complied with.

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), may provide for an immediate enforcement upon such
default, 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

        (d) to add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture to

indenture which is entitled to the benefit of such provision; or

        (f) to secure the Securities or any Series of the Securities or to
provide that any of the Company's obligations under any series of the Securities
or this Indenture shall be guaranteed and the terms and conditions for the
release or substitution of such security or guarantee; or

        (g) to establish the form or terms of Securities of any series and any
related coupons as permitted by Sections 2.1 and 3.1, including the provisions
and procedures, if applicable, relating to Securities convertible into Common

        (h) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment hereunder
by a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more series and
to add to or change any

                                       49
<PAGE>   56

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;
or

        (i) 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 which shall not be inconsistent with the provisions of this
Indenture; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that such actions shall not adversely affect the
interests of the Holders of Outstanding Securities of any series or any related
coupons in any material respect; or

        (j) to supplement any of the provisions of this Indenture to such extent
as shall be necessary to permit or facilitate the defeasance, covenant
defeasance and discharge of any series of Securities pursuant to Sections 4.1,
14.2 and 14.3; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that any such action shall not adversely
affect the interests of the Holders of Outstanding Securities of such series and
any related coupons or any other series of Outstanding Securities and any
related coupons in any material respect.

Section 9.2 SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES WITH CONSENT OF HOLDERS

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

PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no such supplemental indenture shall, without the
consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security affected thereby:

        (a) change the Stated Maturity of the principal of (or premium, if any,
on) or any installment of principal of or premium, if any, or interest on, any
Security; or reduce the principal amount thereof or the rate or amount of
interest thereon or any Additional Amounts payable in respect thereof, or any
premium payable upon the redemption or repayment thereof, or change any
obligation of the Company to pay Additional Amounts pursuant to Section 10.10
(except as contemplated by Section 8.1 and permitted by Section 9.1), or reduce
the amount of the principal of an Original Issue Discount Security or Indexed
Security that would be due and payable upon a declaration of acceleration of the
Maturity thereof pursuant to Section 5.2 or the amount thereof provable in

at the option of the Holder of any Security (or reduce the amount of premium
payable on any such repayment), or change any Place of Payment where, or the
currency or currencies, currency unit or units or composite currency or
currencies in which, any principal or any premium or the interest thereon is
payable, or impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any such
payment on or after the Stated Maturity thereof (or, in the case of redemption
or repayment at the option of the Holder, on or after the Redemption Date or the
Repayment Date, as the case may be), or

        (b) reduce the percentage in principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities of any series, the consent of whose Holders is required for any such

for in this Indenture, or reduce the requirements for quorum or voting, or

                                       50

        (c) modify any of the provisions of this Section 9.2, Section 5.13 or
10.11, except to increase the required percentage to effect such action 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.

        It shall not be necessary for any Act of Holders under this Section 9.2
to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it
shall be sufficient if such Act shall approve the substance thereof.

        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.

Section 9.3 EXECUTION OF SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES

        In executing, or accepting the additional trusts created by, any
supplemental indenture permitted by this Article Nine or the modification
thereby of the trusts created by this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled

rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

Section 9.4 EFFECT OF SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES

        Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture under this Article
Nine, this Indenture shall be modified in accordance therewith, and such

Section 10.1 PAYMENT OF PRINCIPAL, PREMIUM, IF ANY, INTEREST AND ADDITIONAL
             AMOUNTS

        The Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of the Holders of each
series of Securities that it will duly and punctually pay the principal of (and
premium, if any) and interest on and any Additional Amounts payable in respect
of the Securities of that series in accordance with the terms of such series of
Securities, any coupons appertaining thereto and this Indenture. Unless
otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.1 with respect to any series of
Securities, any interest due on and any Additional Amounts payable in respect of
Bearer Securities on or before Maturity, other than Additional Amounts, if any,
payable as provided in Section 10.10 in respect of principal of (or premium, if
any, on) such a Bearer Security, shall be payable only upon presentation and
surrender of the several coupons for such interest installments as are evidenced
thereby as they severally mature.

Section 10.2 MAINTENANCE OF OFFICE OR AGENCY

        If Securities of a series are issuable only as Registered Securities,
the Company shall maintain in each Place of Payment for such series of
Securities an office or agency where Securities of that series may be presented
or surrendered for payment or conversion, 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. If Securities of a series are issuable as Bearer
Securities, the Company will maintain: (1) in the City of New York, an office or
agency where any Securities of that series may be presented or surrendered for
payment or conversion, where any Securities of that series may be surrendered
for registration of transfer, where Securities of that series may be surrendered
for exchange, where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the
Securities of that series and this Indenture may be served and where Bearer
Securities of that series and related coupons may be presented or surrendered
for payment or conversion in the circumstances described in the following
paragraph (and not otherwise); (2) subject to any laws or regulations applicable
thereto, in a Place of Payment for that series which is located outside the
United States, an office or agency where Securities of that series and related
coupons may be presented and surrendered for payment (including payment of any
Additional Amounts payable on Securities of that series pursuant to Section
10.10) or conversion; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if the Securities of that series
are listed on any stock exchange located outside the United States and such
stock exchange shall so require, the Company will maintain a Paying Agent for
the Securities of that series in any required city located outside the United
States, as the case may be, so long as the Securities of that series are listed
on such exchange; and (3) subject to any laws or regulations applicable thereto,
in a Place of Payment for that series located outside the United States an
office or agency where any Securities of that series may be surrendered for
registration of transfer, where Securities of that series may be surrendered for
exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the
Securities of that series and this Indenture may be served. The Company will
give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the
location, of each 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,
except that Bearer Securities of that series and the related coupons may be
presented and surrendered for payment (including payment of any Additional
Amounts payable on Bearer Securities of that series pursuant to Section 10.10)
or conversion at the offices specified in the Security, in London, England, and
the Company hereby appoints the same as its agent to receive such respective
presentations,

                                       52
<PAGE>   59

surrenders, notices and demands, and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee its
agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands.

        Unless otherwise specified with respect to any Securities pursuant to
Section 3.1, no payment of principal, premium or interest on or Additional
Amounts in respect of Bearer Securities shall be made at any office or agency of
the Company in the United States or by check mailed to any address in the United
States or by transfer to an account maintained with a bank located in the United
States; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, if the Securities of a series are payable in
Dollars, payment of principal of and any premium and interest on any Bearer
Security (including any Additional Amounts payable on Securities of such series
pursuant to Section 10.10) shall be made at the office of the Company's Paying
Agent in the City of New York, if (but only if) payment in Dollars of the full
amount of such principal, premium, interest or Additional Amounts, as the case
may be, at all offices or agencies outside the United States maintained for the
purpose by the Company in accordance with this Indenture is illegal or
effectively precluded by exchange controls or other similar restrictions.

        The Company may 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 of 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 accordance with the requirements set forth above 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. Unless otherwise specified with respect to
any Securities pursuant to Section 3.1 with respect to a series of Securities,
the Company hereby designates as a Place of Payment for each series of
Securities the office or agency of the Company in the City of New York, and
initially appoints the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office as Paying Agent in
such city and as its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders,
notices and demands.

        Unless otherwise specified with respect to any Securities pursuant to
Section 3.1, if and so long as the Securities of any series (1) are denominated
in a Foreign Currency or (2) may be payable in a Foreign Currency, or so long as
it is required under any other provision of this Indenture, then the Company
will maintain with respect to each such series of Securities, or as so required,
at least one exchange rate agent.

Section 10.3 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 any Securities and any related coupons, it will, on or
before each due date of the principal of (and premium, if any), or interest on
or Additional Amounts in respect of, any of the Securities of that series,
segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a
sum in the currency or currencies, currency unit or units or composite currency
or currencies in which the Securities of such series are payable (except as
otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.1 for the Securities of such series)
sufficient to pay the principal (and premium, if any) or interest or Additional
Amounts 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 and any related coupons, it will, on or before each due date of
the principal of (and premium, if any), or interest on or Additional Amounts in
respect of, any Securities of that

                                       53
<PAGE>   60

series, deposit with a Paying Agent a sum (in the currency or currencies,
currency unit or units or composite currency or currencies described in the
preceding paragraph) sufficient to pay the principal (and premium, if any) or
interest or Additional Amounts so becoming due, such sum to be held in trust for
the benefit of the Persons entitled to such principal, premium or interest or
Additional Amounts 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 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 10.3,
that such Paying Agent will

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

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

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

        The Company may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or
by Company Order direct any Paying Agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in
trust by the Company or such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee
upon the same terms 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 sums.

        Except as otherwise provided in the Securities of any series, any money
deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in
trust for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on,
or any Additional Amounts in respect of, any Security of any series and
remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal (and premium, if any),
interest or Additional Amounts have become due and payable shall be paid to the
Company upon 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 of such
principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on, or any Additional Amounts in
respect of, such Security, without interest thereon, 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 an
Authorized Newspaper, or to be mailed to Holders of Registered Securities, or
both, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified
therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such publication
or notice, as the case may be, any unclaimed balance of such money then
remaining will be repaid to the Company.

        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, all material rights (by certificate of incorporation, by-laws and

not be required to preserve any right or franchise if the Board of Directors
shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the
conduct of the business of the Company.

Section 10.5 MAINTENANCE OF PROPERTIES

        The Company will cause all of its material properties used or useful in
the conduct of its business or the business of any Subsidiary to be maintained
and kept in good condition, repair and working order and supplied with all
necessary equipment and will cause to be made all necessary repairs, renewals,
replacements, betterments and improvements thereof, all as in the judgment of
the Company may be necessary so that the business carried on in connection
therewith may be properly and advantageously conducted at all times; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that the Company and its Subsidiaries shall not be prevented from
selling or otherwise disposing of their properties for value in the ordinary
course of their business.

availability.

Section 10.7 PAYMENT OF TAXES AND OTHER CLAIMS

        The Company will pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged,
before the same shall become delinquent, (1) all taxes, assessments and
governmental charges levied or imposed upon it or any Subsidiary or upon the
income, profits or property of the Company or any Subsidiary and (2) all lawful
claims for labor, materials and supplies which, if unpaid, might by law become a
lien upon the property of the Company or any Subsidiary; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that
the Company shall not be required to pay or discharge or cause to be paid or
discharged any such tax, assessment, charge or claim the amount, applicability
or validity of which is being contested in good faith by appropriate
proceedings.

Section 10.8 PROVISION OF FINANCIAL INFORMATION

        Whether or not the Company is subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Company will, within 15 days

to file annual reports, quarterly reports and other documents with the
Commission if the Company were so subject, (1) transmit by mail to all Holders,
as their names and addresses appear in the Security Register, without cost to
such Holders, copies of the annual reports, quarterly reports and other

pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, if the Company were subject to such Sections, (2) file with the Trustee
copies of the annual reports, quarterly reports and other documents which the
Company would have been required to file with the Commission pursuant to Section
13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, if the Company

Section 10.9 STATEMENT AS TO COMPLIANCE

        The Company will deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end
of each fiscal year, a brief certificate from the principal executive officer,
principal financial officer or principal accounting officer as to his or her
knowledge of the Company's compliance with all conditions and covenants under
this Indenture and the Securities, and in the event of any noncompliance,
specifying such noncompliance and the nature and status thereof. For purposes of
this Section 10.9, such compliance shall be determined without regard to any
period of grace or requirement of notice under this Indenture.

Section 10.10 ADDITIONAL AMOUNTS

        If any Securities of a series provide for the payment of Additional
Amounts, the Company will pay to the Holder of any Security of such series or
any coupon appertaining thereto Additional Amounts as may be specified as
contemplated by Section 3.1. Whenever in this Indenture there is mentioned, in
any context except in the case of Section 5.2(a), the payment of the principal
of or any premium or interest on, or in respect of, any Security of any series
or payment of any related coupon or the net proceeds received on the sale or
exchange of any Security of any series, such mention shall be deemed to include
mention of the payment of Additional Amounts provided by the terms of such
series established pursuant to Section 3.1 to the extent that, in such context,
Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof pursuant to
such terms and express mention of the payment of Additional Amounts (if
applicable) in any provisions hereof shall not be construed as excluding
Additional Amounts in those provisions hereof where such express mention is not
made.

        Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.1, if the
Securities of a series provide for the payment of Additional Amounts, at least
10 days prior to the first Interest Payment Date with respect to that series of
Securities (or if the Securities of that series will not bear interest prior to
Maturity, the first day on which a payment of principal and any premium is
made), and at least 10 days prior to each date of payment of principal and any
premium or interest if there has been any change with respect to the matters set
forth in the below-mentioned Officers' Certificate, the Company will furnish the
Trustee and the Company's principal Paying Agent or Paying Agents, if other than
the Trustee, with an Officers' Certificate instructing the Trustee and such
Paying Agent or Paying Agents whether such payment of principal of and any
premium or interest on the Securities of that series shall be made to Holders of
Securities of that series or any related coupons who are not United States
Persons without withholding for or on account of any tax, assessment or other
governmental charge described in the Securities of the series. If any such
withholding shall be required, then such Officers' Certificate shall specify by
country the amount, if any, required to be withheld on such payments to such
Holders of Securities of that series or related coupons and the Company will pay
to the Trustee or such Paying Agent the Additional Amounts required by the terms
of such Securities. If the Trustee or any Paying Agent, as the case may be,
shall not so receive the above-mentioned Officers' Certificate, then the Trustee
or such Paying Agent shall be entitled (1) to assume that no such withholding or
deduction is required with respect to any payment of principal or interest with
respect to any Securities of a series or related coupons until it shall have
received a certificate advising otherwise and (2) to make all payments of
principal and interest with respect to the Securities of a series or related
coupons without withholding or deductions until otherwise advised. The Company
covenants to indemnify the Trustee and any Paying Agent for, and to hold them
harmless against, any loss, liability or expense reasonably incurred without

Section 10.11 WAIVER OF CERTAIN COVENANTS

        The Company may omit in any particular instance to comply with any term,
provision or condition set forth in Sections 10.4 to 10.8, inclusive, with
respect to the Securities of any series if before or after the time for such
compliance the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of all
outstanding Securities of such series, by act of such Holders, either waive such
compliance in such instance or generally waive compliance with such covenant or
condition, but no such waiver shall extend to or affect such covenant or
condition except to the extent so expressly waived, and, until such waiver shall
become effective, the obligations of the Company and the duties of the Trustee
in respect of any such term, provision or condition shall remain in full force
and effect.

Section 11.1 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 3.1 for Securities of any series)
in accordance with this Article Eleven.

Section 11.2 ELECTION TO REDEEM; NOTICE TO TRUSTEE

        The election of the Company to redeem any Securities shall be evidenced
by or pursuant to a Board Resolution. In case of any redemption at the election
of the Company of less than all of the Securities of any series, the Company
shall, at least 45 days prior to the giving of the notice of redemption in
Section 11.4 (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee),
notify the Trustee of such Redemption Date and of the principal amount of
Securities of such series to be redeemed. In the case of any redemption of
Securities prior to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption
provided in the terms of such Securities or elsewhere in this Indenture, the
Company shall furnish the Trustee with an Officers' Certificate evidencing
compliance with such restriction.

Section 11.3 SELECTION BY TRUSTEE OF SECURITIES TO BE REDEEMED

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

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

                                       57
<PAGE>   64

        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 Security redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the
portion of the principal amount of such Security which has been or is to be
redeemed.

Section 11.4 NOTICE OF REDEMPTION

        Notice of redemption shall be given in the manner provided in Section
1.6, not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date,
unless a shorter period is specified by the terms of such series established
pursuant to Section 3.1, to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed, but
failure to give such notice in the manner herein provided to the Holder of any
Security designated for redemption as a whole or in part, or any defect in the
notice to any such Holder, shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for
the redemption of any other Security or portion thereof.

        Any notice that is mailed to the Holders of Securities in the manner
herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether
or not the Holder receives the notice.

        (e) that on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price and accrued
interest to the Redemption Date payable as provided in Section 11.6, if any,
will become due and payable upon each such Security, or the portion thereof, to
be redeemed and, if applicable, that interest thereon shall cease to accrue on
and after said date;

        (f) the Place or Places of Payment where such Securities, together in
the case of Bearer Securities with all coupons appertaining thereto, if any,
maturing after the Redemption Date, are to be surrendered for payment of the
Redemption Price and accrued interest, if any;

        (g) that the redemption is for a sinking fund, if such is the case;

        (h) that, unless otherwise specified in such notice, Bearer Securities
of any series, if any, surrendered for redemption must be accompanied by all
coupons maturing subsequent to the date fixed for redemption or the amount of
any such missing coupon or coupons will be deducted from the Redemption Price,
unless security or indemnity satisfactory to the Company, the Trustee for such
series and any Paying Agent is furnished;

                                       58
<PAGE>   65

        (i) if Bearer Securities of any series are to be redeemed and any
Securities of such series are not to be redeemed, and if such Bearer Securities

places where such Securities may be surrendered for conversion, and the date and
time when the option to convert shall expire.

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

Section 11.5 DEPOSIT OF REDEMPTION PRICE

        On or before any Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the
Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying
Agent, which it may not do in the case of a sinking fund payment under Article
Twelve, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 10.3) an amount of
money in the currency or currencies, currency unit or units or composite
currency or currencies in which the Securities of such series are payable
(except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.1 for the Securities of
such series) sufficient to pay on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price of,
and (except if the Redemption Date shall be an Interest Payment Date) accrued
interest on, all the Securities or portions thereof which are to be redeemed on
that date.

        If any Securities called for redemption is converted, any money
deposited with the Trustee or with any Paying Agent or so segregated and held in
trust for the redemption of such Security shall be paid to the Company upon
Company Request or, if then held by the Company, shall be discharged from such
trust.

Section 11.6 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 in the currency or currencies, currency unit
or units or composite currency or currencies in which the Securities of such
series are payable (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.1 for
the Securities of such series) (together with accrued interest, if any, to the
Redemption Date), and from and after such date (unless the Company shall default
in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest) such Securities
shall, if the same were interest-bearing, cease to bear interest and the coupons
for such interest appertaining to any Bearer Securities so to be redeemed,
except to the extent provided below, shall be void. Upon surrender of any such
Security for redemption in accordance with said notice, together with all
coupons, if any, appertaining thereto maturing after the Redemption Date, such
Security shall be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price, together with
accrued interest, if any, to the Redemption Date; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that
installments of interest on Bearer Securities whose Stated Maturity is on or
prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable only at an office or agency
located outside the United States (except as otherwise provided in Section 10.2)
and, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.1, only upon
presentation and surrender

                                       59
<PAGE>   66

of coupons for such interest; and PROVIDED FURTHER that, except as otherwise
provided with respect to Registered Securities convertible into Common Stock or
Preferred Stock, installments of interest on Registered Securities whose Stated
Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders
of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities, registered as such at
the close of business on the relevant record dates according to their terms and
the provisions of Section 3.7.

        If any Bearer Security surrendered for redemption shall not be
accompanied by all appurtenant coupons maturing after the Redemption Date, such
Security may be paid after deducting from the Redemption Price an amount equal
to the face amount of all such missing coupons, or the surrender of such missing
coupon or coupons may be waived by the Company and the Trustee if there be
furnished to them such security or indemnity as they may require to save each of
them and any Paying Agent harmless. If thereafter the Holder of such Security
shall surrender to the Trustee or any Paying Agent any such missing coupon in
respect of which a deduction shall have been made from the Redemption Price,
such Holder shall be entitled to receive the amount so deducted; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that interest represented by coupons shall be payable only at an office
or agency located outside the United States (except as otherwise provided in
Section 10.2) and, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.1,
only upon presentation and surrender of those coupons.

        If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon
surrender thereof for redemption, the principal (and premium, if any) shall,
until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate borne by or
provided in, as the case may be, the Security.

Section 11.7 SECURITIES REDEEMED IN PART

        Any Registered Security which is to be redeemed only in part (pursuant
to the provisions of this Article Eleven or of Article Twelve) 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 or her attorney duly authorized in writing) and the Company shall execute
and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security
without service charge a new Security or Securities of the same series of any
authorized denomination as requested by such Holder in aggregate principal
amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of
the Security so surrendered. If a Global Security is so surrendered, the Company
shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the depositary,
without service charge, a new Global Security in a denomination equal to and in
exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Global Security so
surrendered.

                                  ARTICLE XII.
                                  SINKING FUNDS

Section 12.1 APPLICABILITY OF ARTICLE

        The provisions of this Article Twelve shall be applicable to any sinking
fund for the retirement of Securities of a series except as otherwise specified
as contemplated by Section 3.1 for Securities of such series.

        The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the terms
of Securities of any series is herein referred to as a "mandatory sinking fund
payment," and any payment in excess of such minimum amount provided for by the
terms of such Securities of any

                                       60
<PAGE>   67

series 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
mandatory sinking fund payment may be subject to reduction as provided in
Section 12.2. Each sinking fund payment shall be applied to the redemption of
Securities of any series as provided for by the terms of Securities of such
series.

Section 12.2 SATISFACTION OF SINKING FUND PAYMENTS WITH SECURITIES

        The Company may, in satisfaction of all or any part of any mandatory
sinking fund payment with respect to the Securities of a series, (1) deliver
Outstanding Securities of such series (other than any previously called for
redemption) together, in the case of any Bearer Securities of such series, with
all unmatured coupons appertaining thereto and (2) apply as a credit Securities
of such 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, as
provided for by the terms of such Securities, or which have otherwise been
acquired by the Company; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that such Securities so delivered or
applied as a credit have not been previously so credited. Such Securities shall
be received and credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the applicable
Redemption Price specified in such Securities for redemption through operation
of the sinking fund and the amount of such mandatory sinking fund payment shall
be reduced accordingly.

Section 12.3 REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES FOR SINKING FUND

        Not less than 60 days prior to each sinking fund payment date for
Securities of any series, the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officers'
Certificate specifying the amount of the next ensuing mandatory sinking fund
payment for that series pursuant to the terms of that series, the portion
thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by payment of cash in the currency or
currencies, currency unit or units or composite currency or currencies in which
the Securities of such series are payable (except as otherwise specified
pursuant to Section 3.1 for the Securities of such series) and the portion
thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting Securities
of that series pursuant to Section 12.2, and the optional amount, if any, to be
added in cash to the next ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment, and will also
deliver to the Trustee any Securities to be so delivered and credited. If such
Officers' Certificate shall specify an optional amount to be added in cash to
the next ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment, the Company shall thereupon be
obligated to pay the amount therein specified. Not less than 30 days before each
such sinking fund payment date the Trustee shall select the Securities to be
redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date in the manner specified in Section
11.3 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 11.4. Such
notice having been duly given, the redemption of such Securities shall be made
upon the terms and in the manner stated in Sections 11.6 and 11.7.

                       REPAYMENT AT THE OPTION OF HOLDERS

Section 13.1 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 applicable
terms, if any, of such Securities and (except as otherwise specified by the
terms of such series established pursuant to Section 3.1) in accordance with
this Article Thirteen.

                                       61
<PAGE>   68

Section 13.2 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, if any, thereon accrued to the Repayment Date specified
in or pursuant to the terms of such Securities. The Company covenants that on or
prior to 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 10.3) an amount of money in the currency or
currencies, currency unit or units or composite currency or currencies in which
the Securities of such series are payable (except as otherwise specified
pursuant to Section 3.1 for the Securities of such series) sufficient to pay the
principal (or, if so provided by the terms of the Securities of any series, a
percentage of the principal) of, and accrued interest on, all the Securities or
portions thereof, as the case may be, to be repaid on such date.

Section 13.3 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. In order for any Security to be repaid at the option of the
Holder, the Trustee must receive 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 60 days nor later than 30 days prior to the Repayment Date (1) the
Security so providing for such repayment together with any "Option to Elect
Repayment" or similar form on the reverse thereof duly completed by the Holder
(or by the Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing) or (2) a telegram,
telex, facsimile transmission or letter from a member of a national securities
exchange, or the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., or a
commercial bank or trust company in the United States setting forth the name of
the Holder of the Security, the principal amount of the Security, the principal
amount of the Security to be repaid, the CUSIP number, if any, or a description
of the tenor and terms of the Security, a statement that the option to elect
repayment is being exercised thereby and a guarantee that the Security to be
repaid, together with any duly completed "Option to Elect Repayment" or similar
form on the reverse of the Security, will be received by the Trustee not later
than the fifth Business Day after the date of such telegram, telex, facsimile
transmission or letter; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that such telegram, telex, facsimile
transmission or letter shall only be effective if such Security and form duly
completed are received by the Trustee by such fifth Business Day. 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, 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, exercise or the repayment option by the Holder shall be
irrevocable unless waived by the Company.

Section 13.4 WHEN SECURITIES PRESENTED FOR REPAYMENT BECOME DUE AND PAYABLE

                                       62
<PAGE>   69

        If Securities of any series providing for repayment at the option of the
Holders thereof shall have been surrendered as provided in this Article Thirteen
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 and
the coupons for such interest appertaining to any Bearer Securities so to be
repaid, except to the extent provided below, shall be void. Upon surrender of
any such Security for repayment in accordance with such provisions, together
with all coupons, if any, appertaining thereto maturing after the Repayment
Date, the principal amount of such Security so to be repaid shall be paid by the
Company, together with accrued interest, if any, to the Repayment Date;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that coupons whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the
Repayment Date shall be payable only at an office or agency located outside the
United States (except as otherwise provided in Section 10.2) and, unless
otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.1, only upon presentation and
surrender of such coupons; and PROVIDED FURTHER that, in the case of Registered
Securities, 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 3.7.

        If any Bearer Security surrendered for repayment shall not be
accompanied by all appurtenant coupons maturing after the Repayment Date, such
Security may be paid after deducting from the amount payable therefor as
provided in Section 13.2 an amount equal to the face amount of all such missing
coupons, or the surrender of such missing coupon or coupons may be waived by the
Company and the Trustee if there be furnished to them such security or indemnity
as they may require to save each of them and any Paying Agent harmless. If
thereafter the Holder of such Security shall surrender to the Trustee or any
Paying Agent any such missing coupon in respect of which a deduction shall have
been made as provided in the preceding sentence, such Holder shall be entitled
to receive the amount so deducted; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that interest represented
by coupons shall be payable only at an office or agency located outside the
United States (except as otherwise provided in Section 10.2) and, unless
otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.1, only upon presentation and
surrender of those coupons.

        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 borne by or
provided in, as the case may be, such Security.

Section 13.5 SECURITIES REPAID IN PART

        Upon surrender of any Registered 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 Registered Security or Securities of the same series, of any
authorized denomination specified by the Holder, in an aggregate principal
amount equal to and in exchange for the portion of the principal of such
Security so surrendered which is not to be repaid.

                       DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE

                                       63
<PAGE>   70

Section 14.1 APPLICABILITY OF ARTICLE; COMPANY'S OPTION TO EFFECT DEFEASANCE OR
             COVENANT DEFEASANCE

        If, pursuant to Section 3.1, provision is made for either or both of (1)
defeasance of the Securities of or within a series under Section 14.2 or (2)
covenant defeasance of the Securities of or within a series under Section 14.3,
then the provisions of such Section or Sections, as the case may be, together
with the other provisions of this Article Fourteen (with such modifications
thereto as may be specified pursuant to Section 3.1 with respect to any
Securities), shall be applicable to such Securities and any coupons appertaining
thereto, and the Company may at its option by Board Resolution, at any time,
with respect to such Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto, elect to
have Section 14.2 (if applicable) or Section 14.3 (if applicable) be applied to
such Outstanding Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto upon compliance
with the conditions set forth below in this Article Fourteen.

Section 14.2 DEFEASANCE

        Upon the Company's exercise of the above option applicable to this
Section 14.2 with respect to any Securities of or within a series, the Company
shall be deemed to have been discharged from its obligations with respect to
such Outstanding Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto on the date the
conditions set forth in Section 14.4 are satisfied (hereinafter, "defeasance").
For this purpose, such defeasance means that the Company shall be deemed to have
paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by such Outstanding
Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto, which shall thereafter be
deemed to be "Outstanding" only for the purposes of Section 14.5 and the other
Sections of this Indenture referred to in clauses (1) and (2) below, and to have
satisfied all of its other obligations under such Securities and any coupons
appertaining thereto and this Indenture insofar as such Securities and any
coupons appertaining thereto are concerned (and the Trustee, at the expense of
the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except
for the following which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged
hereunder: (1) the rights of Holders of such Outstanding Securities and any
coupons appertaining thereto to receive, solely from the trust fund, described
in Section 14.4 and as more fully set forth in such Section and Section 14.5,
payments in respect of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if
any, on such Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto when such payments
are due, (2) the Company's obligations with respect to such Securities under
Sections 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 10.2 and 10.3 and with respect to the payment of
Additional Amounts, if any, on such Securities as contemplated by Section 10.10,
(3) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder,
and (4) this Article Fourteen. Subject to compliance with this Article Fourteen,
the Company may exercise its option under this Section 14.2 notwithstanding the
prior exercise of its option under Section 14.3 with respect to such Securities
and any coupons appertaining thereto.

Section 14.3 COVENANT DEFEASANCE

        Upon the Company's exercise of the above option applicable to this
Section with respect to any Securities of or within a series, the Company shall
be released from its obligations under Sections 10.4 to 10.8, inclusive (other
than its obligations under Section 10.4 to preserve and keep in full force and
effect its corporate existence), and, if specified pursuant to Section 3.1, its
obligations under any other covenant, with respect to such Outstanding
Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto on and after the date the
conditions set forth in Section 14.4 are satisfied (hereinafter, "covenant
defeasance"), and such Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto shall
thereafter be deemed to be not "Outstanding" for the purposes of any direction,
waiver, consent or declaration or Act of Holders (and the consequences of any
thereof) in

                                       64
<PAGE>   71

connection with Sections 10.4 to 10.8, inclusive (other than its obligations
under Section 10.4 to preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate
existence), or such other covenant, but shall continue to be deemed
"Outstanding" for all other purposes hereunder. For this purpose, such covenant
defeasance means that, with respect to such Outstanding Securities and any
coupons appertaining thereto, 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 Section (other than its obligations under Section 10.4 to preserve and keep
in full force and effect its corporate existence) or such other covenant,
whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to
any such Section or such other covenant or by reason of reference in any such
Section or such other covenant to any other provision herein or in any other
document, and such omission to comply shall not constitute a default or an Event
of Default under Section 5.1(d) or 5.1(h) or otherwise, as the case may be, but
the remainder of this Indenture and such Securities and any coupons appertaining
thereto shall be unaffected thereby.

Section 14.4 CONDITIONS TO DEFEASANCE OR COVENANT DEFEASANCE

        The following shall be the conditions to application of Section 14.2 or
Section 14.3 to any Outstanding Securities of or within a series and any coupons

Section 6.7 who shall agree to comply with the provisions of this Article
Fourteen applicable to it) as trust funds in trust for the purpose of making the
following payments, specifically pledged as security for, and dedicated solely
to, the benefit of the Holders of such Securities and any coupons appertaining

Maturity, or (B) Government Obligations applicable to such Securities and
coupons appertaining thereto (determined on the basis of the currency,
currencies or currency unit in which such Securities and coupons appertaining
thereto and installments of principal and interest thereon are payable at Stated

respect thereof in accordance with their terms will provide, not later than one
day before the due date of any payment of principal of (and premium, if any) and
interest, if any, on such Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto, or
(C) a combination thereof, in any case, in an amount sufficient, without
consideration of any reinvestment of such principal and interest, 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 other qualifying Trustee) to pay
and discharge, (i) the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any,
on such Outstanding Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto on the
Stated Maturity of such principal or installment of principal or interest and
(ii) any mandatory sinking fund payments or analogous payments applicable to
such Outstanding Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto on the day on
which such payments are due and payable in accordance with the terms of this
Indenture and of such Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto.

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

        (c) No Event of Default or event which with notice or lapse of time or
both would become an Event of Default with respect to such Securities and any
coupons appertaining thereto shall have occurred and be continuing on the date
of such deposit or, insofar as Sections 5.1(f)

<PAGE>   72

and 5.1(g) are concerned, at any time during the period ending on the 91st day
after the date of such deposit (it being understood that this condition shall
not be deemed satisfied until the expiration of such period).

        (d) In the case of an election under Section 14.2, the Company shall
have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel of outside counsel of
recognized standing with respect to federal income tax matters stating that
subsequent to the date of this Indenture, (A) the Company has received from, or
there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (B) there
has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law, in either case to
the effect that, and based thereon such opinion shall confirm that, the Holders
of such Outstanding Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto will not
recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of
such defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts,
in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such
defeasance had not occurred.

        (e) In the case of an election under Section 14.3, the Company shall
have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel of outside counsel of
recognized standing with respect to federal income tax matters to the effect
that the Holders of such Outstanding Securities and any coupons appertaining
thereto will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes
as a result of such covenant defeasance and will be subject to federal income
tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have
been the case if such covenant defeasance had not occurred.

        (f) The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers'
Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions
precedent to the defeasance under Section 14.2 or the covenant defeasance under
Section 14.3 (as the case may be) have been complied with and an Opinion of
Counsel to the effect that either (A) as a result of a deposit pursuant to
paragraph (a) above and the related exercise of the Company's option under
Section 14.2 or 14.3 (as the case may be), registration is not required under
the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, by the Company, with respect to
the trust funds representing such deposit or by the Trustee for such trust funds
or (B) all necessary registrations under said act have been effected.

        (g) Such defeasance or covenant defeasance, as the case may be, shall
not cause the Trustee to have a conflicting interest for purposes of the TIA
with respect to any securities of the Company.

        (h) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 14.4, such
defeasance or covenant defeasance shall be effected in compliance with any
additional or substitute terms, conditions or limitations which may be imposed
on the Company in connection therewith pursuant to Section 3.1.

        Any deposits with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee) referred to
in paragraph (a) above shall be made under the terms of an escrow trust
agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee.

Section 14.5 DEPOSITED MONEY AND GOVERNMENT OBLIGATIONS TO BE HELD IN TRUST;

to Section 3.1) (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or
other qualifying trustee,

                                       66
<PAGE>   73

collectively for purposes of this Section 14.5, the "Trustee") pursuant to
Section 14.4 in respect of any Outstanding Securities of any series and any
coupons appertaining thereto shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee,
in accordance with the provisions of such Securities and any coupons
appertaining thereto and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or
through any Paying Agent (other than the Company) as the Trustee may determine,
to the Holders of such Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto of all
sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal (and premium, if any)
and interest and Additional Amounts, if any, but such money need not be
segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

        Unless otherwise specified with respect to any Security pursuant to
Section 3.1, if, after a deposit referred to in Section 14.4(a) has been made,
(1) the Holder of a Security in respect of which such deposit was made is
entitled to, and does, elect pursuant to Section 3.1 or the terms of such
Security to receive payment in a currency or currency unit or composite currency
other than that in which the deposit pursuant to Section 14.4(a) has been made
in respect of such Security or (2) a Conversion Event occurs in respect of the
currency or currency unit or composite currency in which the deposit pursuant to
Section 14.4(a) has been made, the indebtedness represented by such Security and
any coupons appertaining thereto shall be deemed to have been, and will be,
fully discharged and satisfied through the payment of the principal of (and
premium, if any), and interest, if any, on such Security as the same becomes due
out of the proceeds yielded by converting (from time to time as specified below
in the case of any such election) the amount or other property deposited in
respect of such Security into the currency or currency unit or composite
currency in which such Security becomes payable as a result of such election or
Conversion Event based on the applicable market exchange rate for such currency
or currency unit or composite currency in effect on the second Business Day
prior to each payment date.

        The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or
other charge imposed on or assessed against the money or Government Obligations
or other property deposited pursuant to Section 14.4 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 such Outstanding
Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto.

        Anything in this Article Fourteen to the contrary notwithstanding,
subject to Section 6.6, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from
time to time upon Company Request any money or Government Obligations (or other
property and any proceeds therefrom) held by it as provided in Section 14.4
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 a defeasance or covenant defeasance, as applicable, in
accordance with this Article Fourteen.

Section 14.6 REINSTATEMENT

        If (i) the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee appointed pursuant to

Obligations or other property deposited pursuant to Section 14.4(a) to pay any
principal of, premium, if any, interest on or Additional Amounts with respect to
any Securities or coupons appertaining thereto by reason of any legal proceeding
or any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining,
restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application or (ii) an event or
condition which constitutes an Event of Default or event which, with notice or
lapse of time or both, would constitute an Event of Default under Section 5.1(f)
or (g) shall occur on or before the 91st day after the date of such deposit,
then the Company's obligations under this Indenture (insofar as

                                       67
<PAGE>   74

relates to such Securities) and under such Securities and any coupons
appertaining thereto shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had
occurred, until (solely in the case of clause (i) above) such time as the
Trustee (or other qualifying trustee) or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all
such moneys and Government Obligations or other property to pay the principal
of, premium, if any, interest on, and Additional Amounts, if any, with respect
to such Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto as contemplated by this
Article; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, if the Company makes any payment of the
principal, premium, if any, interest or Additional Amounts with respect to any
such Securities or coupons appertaining thereto following the reinstatement of
its obligations as aforesaid, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of
the Holders of such Securities and coupons to receive such payment from the
funds held by the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee) or Paying Agent.

         under the Receivables now existing and hereafter created in the
         Additional Accounts designated hereby, all monies due or to become due
         with respect to such Receivables, Insurance Proceeds relating to such
         Receivables, Recoveries, Interchange and the proceeds to any of the
         foregoing to secure a loan in an amount equal to the unpaid principal
         amount of the Investor Certificates issued or to be issued pursuant to
         the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the interests accrued at the
         related Certificate Rates, and this Assignment shall constitute a
         security agreement under applicable law. Chase USA shall execute
         continuation statements and provide other further assurances to
         maintain the perfection and priority of such security interest of the
         Trust.

                           4. Acceptance by Trustee. The Trustee hereby
         acknowledges its acceptance on behalf of the Trust for the benefit of
         the Certificateholders of all right, title and interest previously held
         by Chase USA in and to the Receivables now existing and hereafter
         created, and declares that it shall maintain such right, title and
         interest, upon the Trust herein set forth, for the benefit of all
         Certificateholders.

                           5. Representations and Warranties of Chase USA. Chase
         USA hereby represents and warrants to the Trust as of the Addition
         Date:

                           A. Legal, Valid and Binding Obligation. This
                  Assignment constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation
                  of Chase USA enforceable against Chase USA in accordance with
                  its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by
                  applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium
                  or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect affecting the
                  enforcement of creditors' rights in general and the rights of
                  creditors of banking associations and except as such
                  enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity
                  (whether considered in a suit at law or in equity).

                           B. Eligibility of Accounts and Receivables. Each
                  Additional Account designated hereby is an Eligible Account
                  and each Receivable in such Additional Account is an Eligible
                  Receivable.

                           C. Selection Procedures. No selection procedures
                  believed by Chase USA to be materially adverse to the
                  interests of the Investor Certificateholders were utilized in
                  selecting the Additional Accounts designated hereby from the
                  available Eligible Accounts in the Bank Portfolio.

                           D. Insolvency. Chase USA is not insolvent and, after
                  giving effect to the conveyance set forth in Section 3 of this
                  Assignment, will not be insolvent.

                           E. Security Interest. This Assignment constitutes
                  either: (i) a valid transfer and assignment to the Trust of
                  all right, title and interest of Chase USA in and to
                  Receivables now existing and hereafter created in the
                  Additional Accounts designated hereby, and all proceeds (as
                  defined in the UCC) of such Receivables and Insurance Proceeds
                  relating thereto, and such Receivables and any proceeds
                  thereof and Insurance Proceeds relating thereto will be held
                  by the Trust free and clear of any Lien of any Person claiming
                  through or under Chase USA or any of its Affiliates except for
                  (x) Liens permitted under subsection 2.5(b) of the Pooling and
                  Servicing Agreement, (y) the interest of the holder of the
                  Transferor Certificate and (z) Chase USA's right to receive
                  interest accruing on, and investment earnings in respect of,
                  the Finance Charge Account and the Principal Account as
                  provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; or (ii) a
                  valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the UCC)
                  in the Additional Accounts in favor of the Trust, the proceeds
                  (as defined in the UCC) thereof and Insurance Proceeds
                  relating thereto, upon the conveyance of such Receivables to
                  the Trust, which security interest is prior to all other
                  Liens, and is enforceable against creditors of and purchasers
                  from Chase USA, and which will be enforceable with respect to
                  the Receivables thereafter created in respect of Additional
                  Accounts designated hereby, the proceeds (as defined in the
                  UCC) thereof and Insurance Proceeds relating thereto, upon
                  such creation; and (iii) if this Assignment constitutes the
                  grant of a security interest to the Trust in such property,
                  upon the filing of a financing statement described in Section
                  3 of this Assignment with respect to the Additional Accounts
                  designated hereby and in the case of the Receivables of such
                  Additional Accounts thereafter created and the proceeds (as
                  defined in the UCC) thereof, and Insurance Proceeds relating
                  to such Receivables, upon such creation, the Trust shall have
                  a first priority perfected security interest in such property
                  (subject to Section 9-315 the UCC as in effect in the State of
                  Delaware), except for Liens permitted under subsection 2.5(b)
                  of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Chase USA has caused
                  or will have caused, within ten days, the filing of all
                  appropriate financing statements in the proper filing office
                  in the appropriate jurisdictions under applicable law in order
                  to perfect the security interest in the Receivables granted to
                  the Trust hereunder. The Receivables constitute "accounts"
                  within the meaning of the applicable UCC.

                           F. Other Liens. Other than the security interest
                  granted to the Trust pursuant to this Assignment, Chase USA
                  has not pledged, assigned, sold, granted a security interest
                  in, or otherwise conveyed any of the Receivables. Chase USA
                  has not authorized the filing of and is not aware of any
                  financing statements against Chase USA that include a
                  description of collateral covering the Receivables other than
                  any financing statement (i) relating to the security interest
                  granted to the Trust hereunder, (ii) that has been terminated,
                  or (iii) that names The Bank of New York as secured party.
                  Chase USA is not aware of any judgment or tax lien filings
                  against Chase USA. Chase USA owns and has good and marketable
                  title to the Receivables free and clear of any Lien, claim or
                  encumbrance of any Person.

                           G. Breach of Representations and Warranties. The
                  provision set forth in Section 2.4(d) of the Pooling and
                  Servicing Agreement shall be applicable to any breach of the
                  representations and warranties of this Section 5 with respect
                  to any Receivable.

                           6. Conditions Precedent. The acceptance by the
         Trustee set forth in Section 4 and the amendment of the Pooling and
         Servicing Agreement set forth in Section 7 are subject to the
         satisfaction, on or prior to the Addition Date, of the following
         conditions precedent:

                  President or more senior officer substantially in the form of

                  Principal Receivables of such Account, whether now existing or
                  hereafter created, have been satisfied and (ii) each of the
                  representations and warranties made by Chase USA in Section 5

         covenants of the parties hereto shall survive the assignment of the
