    Securities and that the pledgee is not the Company or any other obligor

Trustee, furnish to the Trustee an Officer's Certificate stating that in the
opinion of the Person signing such Officer's Certificate all conditions
precedent, if any, provided for in this Indenture relating to the proposed
action (including any covenants compliance with which constitutes a condition
precedent) have been complied with and an Opinion of Counsel stating that in
the opinion of such counsel all such conditions precedent, if any, have been
complied with, except that in the case of any such application or request as to
which the furnishing of such documents is specifically required by any
provision of this Indenture relating to such particular application or request,
no additional certificate or opinion need be furnished.

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

       (a) a statement that each Person signing such certificate or opinion has
    read such covenant or condition and the definitions herein relating
    thereto;

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

       (d) a statement as to whether, in the opinion of each such Person, such
    condition or covenant has been complied with.

SECTION 103. FORM OF DOCUMENTS DELIVERED TO TRUSTEE

     Any certificate or opinion of an officer of the Company may be based,
insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or
representations by, counsel, unless such officer knows, or in the exercise of
reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations
with respect to the matters upon which such officer's certificate or opinion are
based are erroneous. Any such certificate or Opinion of Counsel may be based,
insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or
representations by an officer or officers of the Company stating that the
information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the
Company, unless such counsel knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should
know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to such
matters are erroneous. In addition, any Opinion of Counsel may be based (without
further examination or investigation), insofar as it relates to or is dependent
upon matters covered in an Opinion of Counsel rendered by other counsel, upon
such other Opinion of Counsel, unless such counsel has actual knowledge that the
Opinion of Counsel rendered by such other counsel with respect to the matters
upon which his Opinion of Counsel may be based as aforesaid are erroneous. If,
in order to render any Opinion of Counsel provided for herein, the signer
thereof shall deem it necessary that additional facts or matters be stated in
any Officer's Certificate provided for herein, then such certificate may state
all such additional facts or matters as the signer of such Opinion of Counsel
may request.

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

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

     Whenever, subsequent to the receipt by the Trustee of any Board
Resolution, Officer's Certificate, Opinion of Counsel or other document or
instrument, a clerical, typographical or other inadvertent or unintentional
error or omission shall be discovered therein, a new document or instrument may
be substituted therefor in corrected form with the same force and effect as if
originally filed in the corrected form and, irrespective of the date or dates
of the actual execution and/or delivery thereof, such substitute document or
instrument shall be deemed to have been executed and/or delivered as of the
date or dates required with respect to the

                                       9

document or instrument for which it is substituted. Anything in this Indenture
to the contrary notwithstanding, if any such corrective document or instrument
indicates that action has been taken by or at the request of the Company which
could not have been taken had the original document or instrument not contained
such error or omission, the action so taken shall not be invalidated or
otherwise rendered ineffective but shall be and remain in full force and effect,
except to the extent that such action was a result of willful misconduct or bad
faith. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any Securities issued
under the authority of such defective document or instrument shall nevertheless
be the valid obligations of the Company entitled to the benefits of this
Indenture equally and ratably with all other Outstanding Securities, except as
aforesaid.

SECTION 104. ACTS OF HOLDERS

    (a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent,
    election, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be made,
    given or taken by Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more
    instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person
    or by an agent duly appointed in writing or, alternatively, may be embodied
    in and evidenced by the record of Holders voting in favor thereof, either in
    person or by proxies duly appointed in writing, at any meeting of Holders
    duly called and held in accordance with the provisions of Article Thirteen,
    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 and 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 (subject to
    Section 901) conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Company, if made in
    the manner provided in this Section. The record of any meeting of Holders
    shall be proved in the manner provided in Section 1306.

       (b) 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 or may be proved in any other manner which the Trustee
    and the Company deem sufficient. Where such execution is by a signer
    acting in a capacity other than his individual capacity, such certificate
    or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his authority.

       (c) The principal amount (except as otherwise contemplated in clause (y)
    of the first proviso to the definition of Outstanding) and serial numbers
    of Securities in registered form held by any Person, and the ownership and
    date of holding the same, shall be proved by the Security Register.

                                       10

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

       (e) Until such time as written instruments shall have been delivered to
    the Trustee with respect to the requisite percentage of principal amount
    of Securities for the action contemplated by such instruments, any such
    instrument executed and delivered by or on behalf of a Holder may be
    revoked with respect to any or all of such Securities by written notice by
    such Holder or any subsequent Holder, proven in the manner in which such
    instrument was proven.

       (f) Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, authenticated and
    delivered after any Act of Holders may, and shall if required by the
    Trustee, bear a notation in form approved by the Trustee as to any action
    taken by such Act of Holders. If the Company shall so determine, new
    Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, so modified as to
    conform, in the opinion of the Trustee and the Company, to such action may
    be prepared and executed by the Company and authenticated and delivered by
    the Trustee in exchange for Outstanding Securities of such series or
    Tranche.

       (g) If the Company shall solicit from Holders any request, demand,
    authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, the
    Company may, at its option, fix in advance a record date for the
    determination of Holders entitled to give such request, demand,
    authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, but the
    Company shall have no obligation to do so. 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 the record date shall be
    deemed to be Holders for the purposes of determining whether Holders of
    the requisite proportion of the 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 the record date.

SECTION 105. NOTICES, ETC. TO TRUSTEE AND COMPANY

     Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, election,
waiver or other Act of Holders or other document provided or permitted by this
Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished to, or filed with, the Trustee by
any Holder or by the Company, or 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 delivered personally to an officer or
other responsible employee of the addressee at the applicable location set forth
below or at such other location as such party may from time to time designate by
written notice, or transmitted by facsimile transmission or other direct written
electronic means to such telephone number or other electronic communications
address as the parties hereto shall from time to time designate by written
notice, or transmitted by certified or registered mail, charges prepaid, to the

                                       11

applicable address set forth below or to such other address as such party may
from time to time designate by written notice:

     If to the Trustee, to:

     Telecopy:

     If to the Company, to:

     NICE-Systems Ltd.

     Attention:
     Telephone:
     Telecopy:

     with a copy to:

     Attention:
     Telephone:

     Any communication contemplated herein shall be deemed to have been made,
given, furnished and filed if personally delivered, on the date of delivery, if
transmitted by facsimile transmission or other direct written electronic means,
on the date of receipt, and if transmitted by certified or registered mail, on
the date of receipt.

SECTION 106. NOTICE TO HOLDERS OF SECURITIES; WAIVER

     Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or specified as contemplated
in Section 301 with respect to the Securities of any series or any Tranche
thereof, where this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of any event, such
notice shall be sufficiently given, and shall be deemed given, to Holders if in
writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder affected by
such event, at the address of such Holder as it appears in the Security
Register, not later than the latest date, if any, and not earlier than the
earliest date, if any, prescribed for the giving of such notice.

                                       12

     In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason
of any other cause it shall be impracticable to give such notice to Holders by
mail, then such notification as shall be made with the approval of the Trustee
shall constitute a sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder. In any
case where notice to Holders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such
notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder shall
affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders.

     Any notice required by this Indenture may be waived in writing by the
Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event
otherwise to be specified therein, 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 107. CONFLICT WITH TRUST INDENTURE ACT

     If (a) any provision of this Indenture limits, qualifies or conflicts with
another provision hereof which is required or deemed to be included in this
Indenture by, or is otherwise governed by, any of the provisions of the Trust
Indenture Act, such other provision shall control; and (b) any provision hereof
otherwise conflicts with the Trust Indenture Act, the Trust Indenture Act shall
control unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 301 with respect
to any series of Securities.

SECTION 108. EFFECT OF HEADINGS AND TABLE OF CONTENTS

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

SECTION 109. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS

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

SECTION 110. SEPARABILITY CLAUSE

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

SECTION 111. BENEFITS OF INDENTURE

     Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to
any series of Securities, nothing in this Indenture or the Securities, express
or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto, their
successors hereunder and the Holders, any benefit or any legal or equitable
right, remedy or claim under this Indenture.

                                       13

accordance with the laws of the State of New York (including without limitation

the Company of this Indenture and the Securities and corporate existence of the
Company will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the
jurisdiction in which the Company is incorporated or formed.

SECTION 113. LEGAL HOLIDAYS

     In any case where any Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated
Maturity of any Security shall not be a Business Day at any Place of Payment,
then (notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or of the
Securities, other than a provision in the Securities of any series, or any
Tranche thereof, or in the indenture supplemental hereto, Board Resolution or
the Officer's Certificate which establishes the terms of the Securities of such
series or Tranche, which specifically states that such provision shall apply in
lieu of this Section) payment of interest and Additional Amounts, if any, or
principal and premium, if any, need not be made at such Place of Payment on such
date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day at such Place of
Payment, with the same force and effect, and in the same amount, as if made on
the Interest Payment Date or Redemption Date, or at the Stated Maturity, as the
case may be, and, if such payment is made or duly provided for on such Business
Day, no interest shall accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and
after such Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated Maturity, as the
case may be, to such Business Day.

SECTION 114. CONSENT TO JURISDICTION; APPOINTMENT OF AGENT FOR SERVICE;
JUDGMENT CURRENCY; WAIVER OF IMMUNITIES

       (a) Consent to Jurisdiction. The Company irrevocably consents to the
    nonexclusive jurisdiction of any court of the State of New York or any
    United States Federal court sitting, in each case, in the Borough of
    Manhattan, The City of New York, New York, United States of America, and
    any appellate court from any thereof in any suit, action or proceeding
    that may be brought in connection with this Indenture or the Securities,
    and waives any immunity from the jurisdiction of such courts. The Company
    irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection
    to any such suit, action or proceeding that may be brought in such courts
    whether on the grounds of venue, residence or domicile or on the ground
    that any such suit, action or proceeding has been brought in an
    inconvenient forum. The Company agrees, to the fullest extent that it
    lawfully may do so, that final judgment in any such suit, action or
    proceeding brought in such a court shall be conclusive and binding upon
    the Company, and waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any
    objection to the enforcement by any competent court in the Jurisdiction of
    Incorporation of judgments validly obtained in any such court in New York
    on the basis of such suit, action or proceeding; provided, however, that
    the Company does not waive, and the foregoing provisions of this sentence
    shall not constitute or be deemed to constitute a waiver of, (i) any right
    to appeal any such judgment, to seek any stay or otherwise to seek
    reconsideration or review of any such

                                       14

    judgment (ii) any stay of execution or levy pending an appeal from, or a
    suit, action or proceeding for reconsideration of, any such judgment, or
    (iii) any other right or remedy of the Company to the extent not expressly
    waived in accordance with this Section 114.

       (b) Appointment of Agent for Service. The Company has designated and
    appointed __________________________________, as its authorized agent upon
    which process may be served in any suit or proceeding in any Federal or
    State court in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York arising out
    of or relating to the Securities or this Indenture, but for that purpose
    only, and agrees that service of process upon said agent shall be deemed
    in every respect effective service of process upon it in any such suit or
    proceeding in any Federal or State court in the Borough of Manhattan, The
    City of New York. Such appointment shall be irrevocable so long as any of
    the Securities remain Outstanding until the appointment of a successor by
    the Company and such successor's acceptance of such appointment. Upon such
    acceptance, the Company shall notify the Trustee of the name and address
    of such successor. The Company further agrees to take any and all action,
    including the execution and filing of any and all such documents and
    instruments, as may be necessary to continue such designation and
    appointment of said agent in full force and effect so long as any of the
    Securities shall be Outstanding. The Trustee shall not be obligated and
    shall have no responsibility with respect to any failure by the Company to
    take any such action.

     Nothing in this Section shall affect the right of the Trustee or any
Holder of any Security to serve process in any manner permitted by applicable
law or limit the right of the Trustee or any Holder of any Security to bring
proceedings against the Company in the courts of any other jurisdiction or
jurisdictions.

          (c) Judgment Currency. The Company agrees, to the fullest extent that
     it may effectively do so under applicable law, that (a) if for the purpose
     of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert the sum due
     in respect of the principal of, or premium or interest, if any, on the
     Securities of any series from the Required Currency into a currency in
     which a judgment will be rendered (the "Judgment Currency"), the rate of
     exchange used shall be the rate at which, in accordance with normal banking
     procedures, the Trustee could purchase the Required Currency with the
     Judgment Currency at the date of payment and (b) its obligations under this
     Indenture to make payments in the Required Currency (i) shall not be
     discharged or satisfied by any tender, or any recovery pursuant to any
     judgment (whether or not entered in accordance with subsection (a)), in any
     currency other than the Required Currency, except to the extent that such
     tender or recovery shall result in the actual receipt, by the payee, of the
     full amount of the Required Currency expressed to be payable in respect of
     such payments, (ii) shall be enforceable as an alternative or additional
     cause of action for the purpose of recovering the amount, if any by which
     actual receipt shall fall short of the full amount of the Required Currency
     so expressed to be payable and (iii) shall not be affected by judgment
     being obtained for any other sum due under this Indenture.

          (d) Waiver of Immunities. To the extent that the Company or any of its
     properties, assets or revenues may have or may hereafter become entitled
     to, or have

                                       15

     of any court, from service of process, from attachment upon or prior to

     in which proceedings may at any time be commenced, with respect to its
     obligations, liabilities or any other matter under or arising out of or in
     connection with this Indenture or the Securities issued hereunder, the
     Company hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to
     plead or claim, any such immunity and consents to such relief and
     enforcement. Nothing in this paragraph shall be deemed to waive any defense
     (other than such immunity) available to the Company.

SECTION 303. EXECUTION, AUTHENTICATION, DELIVERY AND DATING

     Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to
any series of Securities, or any Tranche thereof, the Securities shall be
executed on behalf of the Company by an Authorized Officer and may have the
corporate seal of the Company affixed thereto or reproduced thereon attested by
any other Authorized Officer or by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of
the Company. The signature of any or all of these officers on the Securities
may be manual or facsimile.

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

     The Trustee shall authenticate and deliver Securities of a series, for
original issue, at one time or from time to time in accordance with the Company
Order referred to below, upon receipt by the Trustee of:

       (a) the instrument or instruments establishing the form or forms and
    terms of such series, as provided in Sections 201 and 301;

       (b) a Company Order requesting the authentication and delivery of such
    Securities, and to the extent that the terms of such Securities shall not
    have been established in an indenture supplemental hereto or in a Board
    Resolution, or in an

                                       21

    Officer's Certificate pursuant to a supplemental indenture or Board
    Resolution, all as contemplated by Sections 201 and 301, either (i)
    establishing such terms or (ii) in the case of Securities of a series
    subject to a Periodic Offering, specifying procedures, acceptable to the
    Trustee, by which such terms are to be established (which procedures may
    provide, to the extent acceptable to the Trustee, for authentication and
    delivery pursuant to oral or electronic instructions from the Company or any
    agent or agents thereof, which oral instructions are to be promptly
    confirmed electronically or in writing), in either case in accordance with
    the instrument or instruments delivered pursuant to clause (a) above;

       (c) the Securities of such series, each executed on behalf of the
    Company by an Authorized Officer;

       (d) Opinion or Opinions of Counsel to the effect that:

          (i) the form or forms of such Securities have been duly authorized by
        the Company and have been established in conformity with the provisions
        of this Indenture;

          (ii) the terms of such Securities have been duly authorized by the
        Company and have been established in conformity with the provisions of
        this Indenture; and

          (iii) when such Securities shall have been authenticated and
        delivered by the Trustee and issued and delivered by the Company in the
        manner and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of
        Counsel, such Securities will have been duly issued under this
        Indenture and will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of
        the Company, entitled to the benefits provided by this Indenture, and
        enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject, as to enforcement,
        to laws relating to or affecting generally the enforcement of
        mortgagees' and other creditors' rights, including, without limitation,
        bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, moratorium and
        other laws affecting the rights and remedies of creditors and
        mortgagees' generally and general principles of equity (regardless of
        whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or
        at law);

provided, however, that, with respect to Securities of a series subject to a
Periodic Offering, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive such Opinion of
Counsel only once at or prior to the time of the first authentication of such
Securities (provided that such Opinion of Counsel addresses the authentication
and delivery of all Securities of such series) and that in lieu of the opinions
described in clauses (ii) and (iii) above Counsel may opine that:

          (iv) when the terms of such Securities shall have been established
        pursuant to a Company Order or Orders or pursuant to such procedures
        (acceptable to the Trustee) as may be specified from time to time by a
        Company Order or Orders, all as contemplated by and in accordance with
        the instrument or instruments delivered pursuant to clause (a) above,
        such terms will have been

                                       22

         duly authorized by the Company and will have been established in
         conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; and

       (e) such Securities, when (1) executed by the Company, (2) authenticated
    and delivered by the Trustee in accordance with this Indenture, (3) issued
    and delivered by the Company and (4) paid for, all as contemplated by and
    in accordance with the aforesaid Company Order or Orders, as the case may
    be, will have been duly issued under this Indenture and will constitute
    valid and legally binding obligations of the Company, entitled to the
    benefits provided by the Indenture, and enforceable in accordance with
    their terms, subject, as to enforcement, to laws relating to or affecting
    generally the enforcement of mortgagees' and other creditors' rights,
    including, without limitation, bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
    receivership, moratorium and other laws affecting the rights and remedies
    of creditors and mortgagees' generally and general principles of equity
    (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding
    in equity or at law).

     With respect to Securities of a series subject to a Periodic Offering, the
Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the authorization by the Company of any of
such Securities, the form, terms thereof and the legality, validity, binding
effect and enforceability thereof, and compliance of the authentication and
delivery thereof with the terms and conditions of this Indenture, upon the
Opinion of Counsel and other documents delivered pursuant to Sections 201 and
301 and this Section, as applicable, at or prior to the time of the first
authentication of Securities of such series unless and until such opinion or
other documents have been superseded or revoked or expire by their terms. In
connection with the authentication and delivery of Securities of a series
subject to a Periodic Offering, the Trustee shall be entitled to assume that
the Company's instructions to authenticate and deliver such Securities do not
violate any applicable law or any applicable rule, regulation or order of any
Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Company.

     If the form or terms of the Securities of any series have been established
by or pursuant to a Board Resolution or an Officer's Certificate as permitted
by Sections 201 or 301, the Trustee shall not be required to authenticate such
Securities if the issuance of such Securities pursuant to this Indenture will
materially or adversely affect the Trustee's own rights, duties or immunities
under the Securities and this Indenture or otherwise in a manner which is not
reasonably acceptable to the Trustee.

     Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to
any series of Securities, or any Tranche thereof, each Security shall be dated
the date of its authentication.

     Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to
any series of Securities, or any Tranche thereof, no Security shall be entitled
to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose
unless there appears on such Security a certificate of authentication
substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the Trustee or an
Authenticating Agent by manual signature, and such certificate upon any Security
shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security has been
duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and is entitled to the benefits of
this Indenture. Notwithstanding the

                                       23

foregoing, if any Security shall have been authenticated and delivered hereunder
to the Company, or any Person acting on its behalf, but shall never have been
issued and sold by the Company, and the Company shall deliver such Security to
the Security Registrar for cancellation as provided in Section 309 together with
a written statement (which need not comply with Section 102 and need not be
accompanied by an Officer's Certificate and 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 hereof.

SECTION 304. TEMPORARY SECURITIES

     Pending the preparation of definitive Securities of any series or any
Tranche thereof, the Company may execute, and upon a 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, with such appropriate insertions,
omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers executing such
Securities may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Securities;
provided, however, that temporary Securities need not recite specific
redemption, sinking fund, conversion or exchange provisions.

     Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to
the Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, after the preparation of
definitive Securities of such series or Tranche, the temporary Securities of
such series or Tranche shall be exchangeable, without charge to the Holder
thereof, for definitive Securities of such series or Tranche upon surrender of
such temporary Securities at the office or agency of the Company maintained
pursuant to Section 602 in a Place of Payment for such Securities. Upon such
surrender of temporary Securities for such exchange, the Company shall, except
as aforesaid, execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in
exchange therefor definitive Securities of the same series and Tranche of
authorized denominations and of like tenor and aggregate principal amount.

     Until exchanged in full as hereinabove provided, temporary Securities
shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as
definitive Securities of the same series and Tranche and of like tenor
authenticated and delivered hereunder.

SECTION 305. REGISTRATION, REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE

     Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to
any series of Securities, the Company shall cause to be kept in one of the
offices designated pursuant to Section 602, with respect to the Securities of
each series, or any Tranche thereof, a register (the register kept in
accordance with this Section being referred to as the "Security Register") in
which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company
shall provide for the registration of Securities of such series or Tranche and
the registration of transfer thereof. The Company shall designate one Person to
maintain the Security Register for the Securities of each series on a
consolidated basis, and such Person is referred to herein, with respect to such
series, as the "Security Registrar." Anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, the Company may designate one or more of its offices or an
office of any Affiliate as an office in

                                       24

which a register with respect to the Securities of one or more series, or any
Tranche or Tranches thereof, shall be maintained, and the Company may designate
itself or any Affiliate the Security Registrar with respect to one or more of
such series. The Security Register shall be open for inspection by the Trustee
and the Company at all reasonable times.

     Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 with respect
to the Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, upon surrender for
registration of transfer of any Security of such series or Tranche at the office
or agency of the Company maintained pursuant to Section 602 in a Place of
Payment for such series or Tranche, 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 and Tranche, of
authorized denominations and of like tenor and aggregate principal amount.

     Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 with respect
to the Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, any Security of such
series or Tranche may be exchanged at the option of the Holder, for one or more
new Securities of the same series and Tranche, of authorized denominations and
of like tenor and aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Securities
to be exchanged at any such office or agency. Whenever any Securities are so
surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver, the Securities which the Holder making the exchange
is entitled to receive.

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

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

     Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, with respect to
Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, 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
304, 406 or 1205 not involving any transfer.

     Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, with respect to
Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, the Company shall not be
required to execute or to provide for the registration of transfer of or the
exchange of (a) Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, during a
period of 15 days immediately preceding the date notice is to be given
identifying the serial numbers of the Securities of such series or Tranche
called for redemption or (b) any Security so selected for redemption in whole
or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in
part.

                                       25

     Each Global Security authenticated under this Indenture shall be
registered in the name of the Depositary designated for such Global Security or
a nominee thereof and delivered to such Depositary or a custodian therefor, and
each such Global Security shall constitute a single Security for all purposes
of this Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as otherwise specified
as contemplated by Section 301, no Global Security shall be registered for
transfer or exchange, or authenticated or delivered, pursuant to this Section
305 or Sections 304, 306, 1206 or 406 in the name of a Person other than the
Depositary for such Security or its nominee until (i) the Depositary with
respect to a Global Security notifies the Company that it is unwilling or
unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Security or the Depositary
ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and, in either
such event, the Company notifies the Trustee that it is unable to appoint a
successor Depositary within 90 days of any such event, (ii) the Company
executes and delivers to the Trustee a Company Order that such Global Security
shall be so transferable and exchangeable or (iii) there shall have occurred
and be continuing an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of such
series. Upon the occurrence in respect of any Global Security of any series of
any one or more of the conditions specified in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of
the preceding sentence or such other conditions as may be specified as
contemplated by Section 301 for such series, such Global Security may be
registered for transfer or exchange for Securities registered in the names of,
or authenticated and delivered to, such Persons as the Depositary with respect
to such series shall direct.

     Except as provided in the preceding paragraph, any Security authenticated
and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu
of, any Global Security or any portion thereof, whether pursuant to this
Section, Section 304, 306, 1206 or 406 or otherwise, shall also be a Global
Security and bear the legend specified in Section 202. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Indenture, a Global Security may not be transferred except as
a whole by the Depositary for such Global Security to a nominee of such
Depositary or to another Depositary or a nominee thereof or by a nominee of such
Depositary to such Depositary or another nominee of such Depositary or to
another Depositary or a nominee thereof.

SECTION 306. MUTILATED, DESTROYED, LOST AND STOLEN SECURITIES

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

     If there shall be delivered to the Company and the Trustee (a) evidence to
their satisfaction of the ownership of and the destruction, loss or theft of
any Security and (b) such security or indemnity as may be reasonably 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 is held
by a Person purporting to be the owner of such Security, the Company shall
execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such
destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new Security of the same series and
Tranche, and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not
contemporaneously outstanding.

                                       26

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

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

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

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

SECTION 307. PAYMENT OF INTEREST; INTEREST RIGHTS PRESERVED

     Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to
the Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, interest on any Security
which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest
Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Security (or one or
more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the
Regular Record Date for such interest.

     Subject to Section 311, any interest on any Security of any series which
is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest
Payment Date (herein called "Defaulted Interest") shall forthwith cease to be
payable to the Holder on the related Regular Record Date by virtue of having
been such Holder, and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at
its election in each case, as provided in clause (a) or (b) below:

          (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 date (herein called a "Special Record Date") for the payment of such
     Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The
     Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted
     Interest proposed to be paid on each Security of such series and the date
     of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit
     with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed
     to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements
     satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit 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

                                       27

     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 promptly 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 the address of such Holder as it appears in
     the Security Register, not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record
     Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the
     Special Record Date therefor having been so mailed, such Defaulted Interest
     shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Securities of such series
     (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of
     business on such Special Record Date.

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

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

SECTION 308. PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS

     Prior to due presentment of a Security for registration of transfer, the
Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the
Person in whose name such Security is registered as the absolute owner of such
Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and premium, if
any, and (subject to Sections 305 and 307) interest, if any, on such Security
and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security be overdue,
and none of the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee
shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

     Members of, or participants in, the Depositary ("Participants") shall have
no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Securities held on
their behalf of the Depositary, or the Trustee as its custodian, or under the
Global Securities, and the Depositary may be treated by the Company, the Trustee
and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the absolute owner of Global
Security for all purposes whatsoever. None of the Company, the Trustee, any
Paying Agent, any Security Registrar or any other agent of the Company or any
agent of the Trustee shall have any responsibility or liability for any aspect
of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership
interests of a Security in the form of a Global Security or for maintaining,
supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership
interests. The Company, the Trustee, any Paying Agent and any Security Registrar
and any other agent of the Company and any agent of the Trustee shall be
entitled to deal with any depositary (including any Depositary), and any nominee
thereof, that is the Holder of any such Global Security for all purposes of this
Indenture relating to such Global Security

                                       28

(including the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest and
Additional Amounts, if any, and the giving of instructions or directions by or
to the owner or holder of a beneficial ownership interest in such Global
Security) as the sole Holder of such Global Security and shall have no
obligations to the beneficial owners thereof. None of the Company, the Trustee,
any Paying Agent, any Security Registrar or any other agent of the Company or
any agent of the Trustee shall have any responsibility or liability for any acts
or omissions of any such depositary with respect to such Global Security, for
the records of any such depositary, including records in respect of beneficial
ownership interests in respect of any such Global Security, for any transactions
between such depositary and any participant in such depositary or between or
among any such depositary, any such participant and/or any holder or owner of a
beneficial interest in such Global Security or for any transfers of beneficial
interests in any such Global Security.

     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, 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 as a Holder
of such Global Security.

SECTION 309. CANCELLATION BY SECURITY REGISTRAR

     All Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of
transfer or exchange shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the
Security Registrar, be delivered to the Security Registrar and, if not
theretofore canceled, shall be promptly canceled by the Security Registrar. The
Company may at any time deliver to the Security Registrar for cancellation any
Securities previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company
may have acquired in any manner whatsoever or which the Company shall not have
issued and sold, and all Securities so delivered shall be promptly canceled by
the Security Registrar. No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in
exchange for any Securities canceled as provided in this Section, except as
expressly permitted by this Indenture. All canceled Securities held by the
Security Registrar shall be disposed of in accordance with the customary
practices of the Security Registrar at the time in effect, and the Security
Registrar shall not be required to destroy any such certificates. The Security
Registrar shall promptly deliver a certificate of disposition to the Trustee
and the Company unless, by a Company Order, delivered to the Security Registrar
and Trustee, the Company shall direct that canceled Securities be returned to
it. The Security Registrar shall promptly deliver evidence of any cancellation
of a Security in accordance with this Section 309 to the Trustee and the
Company.

SECTION 310. COMPUTATION OF INTEREST

     Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for
Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, interest on the Securities of
each series shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of
twelve 30-day months and for any period shorter than a full month on the basis
of the actual number of days elapsed within any such period.

                                       29

SECTION 311. EXTENSION OF INTEREST PAYMENT, DEFERRAL OF INTEREST PAYMENT

     The Company shall have the right at any time, so long as no Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the Securities of
any series hereunder, to extend interest payment periods or to defer the
payment of interest on all Securities of one or more series, or Tranches
thereof, if so specified as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to such
Securities and upon such terms as may be specified as contemplated by Section
301 with respect to such Securities.

SECTION 312. PAYMENT TO BE IN PROPER CURRENCY

     In the case of the Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof,
denominated in any currency other than Dollars or in a composite currency (the
"Required Currency"), except as otherwise specified with respect to such
Securities as contemplated by Section 301, the obligation of the Company to make
any payment of the principal thereof, or the premium or interest thereon, shall
not be discharged or satisfied by any tender by the Company, or recovery by the
Trustee, in any currency other than the Required Currency, except to the extent
that such tender or recovery shall result in the Trustee timely holding the full
amount of the Required Currency then due and payable. If any such tender or
recovery is in a currency other than the Required Currency, the Trustee may take
such actions as it considers appropriate to exchange such currency for the
Required Currency. The costs and risks of any such exchange, including without
limitation the risks of delay and exchange rate fluctuation, shall be borne by
the Company, the Company shall remain fully liable for any shortfall or
delinquency in the full amount of Required Currency then due and payable, and in
no circumstances shall the Trustee be liable therefor except in the case of its
negligence or willful misconduct.

                                  ARTICLE FOUR

                           REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES

SECTION 401. APPLICABILITY OF ARTICLE

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

SECTION 402. ELECTION TO REDEEM; NOTICE TO TRUSTEE

     The election of the Company to redeem any Securities shall be evidenced by
an Officer's Certificate. The Company shall, at least 45 days prior to the
Redemption Date fixed by the Company (unless a shorter notice shall be
satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the Trustee in writing of such Redemption
Date and of the principal amount of such Securities to be redeemed. In the case
of any redemption of Securities (a) prior to the expiration of any restriction
on such redemption provided in the terms of such Securities or elsewhere in
this Indenture or (b) pursuant to an election of the Company which is subject
to a restriction or condition specified in the terms of such Securities, the
Company shall furnish the Trustee with an Officer's Certificate evidencing
compliance with such restriction or condition.

                                       30

SECTION 403. SELECTION OF SECURITIES TO BE REDEEMED

     If less than all the Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, are
to be redeemed, the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected by
the Trustee from the Outstanding Securities of such series or Tranche not
previously called for redemption, by such method as shall be provided for any
particular series or Tranche, or, in the absence of any such provision, by such
method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate and which may, in any
case, provide for the selection for redemption of portions (equal to the
minimum authorized denomination for Securities of such series or Tranche or any
integral multiple thereof) of the principal amount of Securities of such series
or Tranche of a denomination larger than the minimum authorized denomination
for Securities of such series or Tranche; provided, however, that if, as
indicated in an Officer's Certificate, the Company shall have offered to
purchase all or any principal amount of the Securities then Outstanding of any
series, or any Tranche thereof, and less than all of such Securities as to
which such offer was made shall have been tendered to the Company for such
purchase, the Trustee, if so directed by Company Order, shall select for
redemption all or any principal amount of such Securities which have not been
so tendered.

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

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

SECTION 404. NOTICE OF REDEMPTION

     Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for
Securities of any series, notice of redemption shall be given in the manner
provided in Section 106 to the Holders of the Securities to be redeemed not
less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date.

     Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for
Securities of any series, all notices of redemption shall state:

       (a) the Redemption Date,

       (b) the Redemption Price (if known) or the formula pursuant to which the
    Redemption Price is to be determined if the Redemption Price cannot be
    determined at the time the notice is given,

       (c) if less than all the Securities of any series or Tranche are to be
    redeemed, the identification of the particular Securities to be redeemed
    and the portion of the principal amount of any Security to be redeemed in
    part,

       (d) that on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price, together with
    accrued interest, if any, and Additional Amounts, if any, to the
    Redemption Date, will become

                                       31

    due and payable upon each such Security to be redeemed and, if applicable,
    that interest and Additional Amounts, if any, thereon will cease to accrue
    on and after said date,

       (e) the place or places where such Securities are to be surrendered for
    payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest, if any, and
    Additional Amounts, if any, unless it shall have been specified as
    contemplated by Section 301 with respect to such Securities that such
    surrender shall not be required,

       (f) that the redemption is for a sinking or other fund, if such is the
    case,

       (g) the CUSIP, ISIN or other similar numbers, if any, assigned to such
    Securities; provided, however, that such notice may state that no
    representation is made as to the correctness of CUSIP, ISIN or other
    similar numbers, in which case none of the Company, the Trustee or any
    agent of the Company or the Trustee shall have any liability in respect of
    the use of any CUSIP, ISIN or other similar number or numbers on such
    notices, and the redemption of such Securities shall not be affected by
    any defect in or omission of such numbers, and

       (h) such other matters as the Company shall deem desirable or
 appropriate.

     Unless otherwise specified with respect to any Securities in accordance
with Section 301, with respect to any notice of redemption of Securities at the
election of the Company, unless, upon the giving of such notice, such
Securities shall be deemed to have been paid in accordance with Section 701,
such notice may state that such redemption shall be conditional upon the
receipt by the Paying Agent or Agents for such Securities, on or prior to the
date fixed for such redemption, of money sufficient to pay the principal of and
premium, if any, and interest, if any, and Additional Amounts, if any, on such
Securities and that if such money shall not have been so received such notice
shall be of no force or effect and the Company shall not be required to redeem
such Securities. In the event that such notice of redemption contains such a
condition and such money is not so received, the redemption shall not be made
and within a reasonable time thereafter notice shall be given, in the manner in
which the notice of redemption was given, that such money was not so received
and such redemption was not required to be made, and the Paying Agent or Agents
for the Securities otherwise to have been redeemed shall promptly return to the
Holders thereof any of such Securities which had been surrendered for payment
upon such redemption.

     Notice of redemption of Securities to be redeemed at the election of the
Company, and any notice of non-satisfaction of a condition for redemption as
aforesaid, shall be given by the Company or, at the Company's request, by the
Security Registrar in the name and at the expense of the Company. Notice of any
mandatory redemption of Securities shall be given by the Security Registrar in
the name and at the expense of the Company.

SECTION 405. SECURITIES PAYABLE ON REDEMPTION DATE

     Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, and the conditions, if
any, set forth in such notice having been satisfied, the Securities or portions
thereof so to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable
at the Redemption Price therein specified, and from and after such date (unless,
in the case of an unconditional notice of

                                       32

redemption, the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price and
accrued interest and Additional Amounts, if any) such Securities or portions
thereof, if interest-bearing, shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of
any such Security for redemption in accordance with such notice, such Security
or portion thereof shall be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price,
together with accrued interest and Additional Amounts, if any, to the Redemption
Date; provided, however, that no such surrender shall be a condition to such
payment if so specified as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to such
Security; and provided, further, that except as otherwise specified as
contemplated by Section 301 with respect to such Security, any installment of
interest on any Security the Stated Maturity of which installment is on or prior
to the Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holder of such Security, or one
or more Predecessor Securities, registered as such at the close of business on
the related Regular Record Date according to the terms of such Security and
subject to the provisions of Section 307.

SECTION 406. SECURITIES REDEEMED IN PART

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

                                  ARTICLE FIVE

                                 SINKING FUNDS

SECTION 501. APPLICABILITY OF ARTICLE

     The provisions of this Article shall be applicable to any sinking fund for
the retirement of the Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, except
as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for Securities of such
series or Tranche.

     The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the terms
of Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, is herein referred to as a
"mandatory sinking fund payment", and any payment in excess of such minimum
amount provided for by the terms of Securities of any series, or any Tranche
thereof, is herein referred to as an "optional sinking fund payment". If
provided for by the terms of Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof,
the cash amount of any sinking fund payment may be subject to reduction as
provided in Section 502. Each sinking fund payment shall be applied to the
redemption of Securities of the series or Tranche in respect of which it was
made as provided for by the terms of such Securities.

                                       33

SECTION 502. SATISFACTION OF SINKING FUND PAYMENTS WITH SECURITIES

     The Company (a) may deliver to the Trustee Outstanding Securities (other
than any previously called for redemption) of a series or Tranche in respect of
which a mandatory sinking fund payment is to be made and (b) may apply as a
credit Securities of such series or Tranche which have been (i) 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 or (ii) repurchased by the Company in the open
market, by tender offer, in the open market or by private agreement, or
otherwise, in each case in satisfaction of all or any part of such mandatory
sinking fund payment with respect to the Securities of such series or Tranche;
provided, however, that no Securities shall be applied in satisfaction of a
mandatory sinking fund payment if such Securities shall have been previously so
applied. Securities so applied shall be received and credited for such purpose
by the Trustee at the Redemption Price specified in such Securities for
redemption through operation of the sinking fund and the amount of such
mandatory sinking fund payment shall be reduced accordingly.

SECTION 503. REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES FOR SINKING FUND

     Not less than 45 days prior to each sinking fund payment date for the
Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, the Company shall deliver to
the Trustee an Officer's Certificate specifying:

       (a) the amount of the next succeeding mandatory sinking fund payment for
    such series or Tranche;

       (b) the amount, if any, of the optional sinking fund payment to be made
    together with such mandatory sinking fund payment;

       (c) the aggregate sinking fund payment;

       (d) the portion, if any, of such aggregate sinking fund payment which is
    to be satisfied by the payment of cash; and

       (e) the portion, if any, of such aggregate sinking fund payment which is
    to be satisfied by delivering and crediting Securities of such series or
    Tranche pursuant to Section 502 and stating the basis for such credit and
    that such Securities have not previously been so credited, and the Company
    shall also deliver to the Trustee any Securities to be so delivered.

     If the Company shall have not delivered such Officer's Certificate and, to
the extent applicable, all such Securities, the next succeeding sinking fund
payment for such series or Tranche shall be made entirely in cash in the amount
of the mandatory sinking fund payment. 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

notice having been duly

                                       34

SECTION 601. PAYMENT OF PRINCIPAL, PREMIUM AND INTEREST

     The Company shall pay the principal of and premium, interest and
Additional Amounts, if any, on the Securities of each series in accordance with
the terms of such Securities and this Indenture.

SECTION 602. MAINTENANCE OF OFFICE OR AGENCY

     The Company shall maintain in each Place of Payment for the Securities of
each series, or any Tranche thereof, an office or agency where payment of such
Securities shall be made, where the registration of transfer or exchange of
such Securities may be effected and where notices and demands to or upon the
Company in respect of such Securities and this Indenture may be served. The
Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and
any change in the location, of each such office or agency and prompt notice to
the Holders of any such change in the manner specified in Section 106. If at
any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency
in respect of Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, or shall fail
to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, payment of such Securities
shall be made, registration of transfer or exchange thereof may be effected and
notices and demands in respect thereof may be served at the Corporate Trust
Office of the Trustee, and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent
for all such purposes in any such event.

     The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices
or agencies with respect to the Securities of one or more series, or any
Tranche thereof, for any or all of the foregoing purposes and may from time to
time rescind such designations; provided, however, that, unless otherwise
specified as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to the Securities of such
series or Tranche, no such designation or rescission shall in any manner
relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency for such
purposes in each Place of Payment for such Securities in accordance with the
requirements set forth above. The Company shall give prompt written notice to
the Trustee, and prompt notice to the Holders in the manner specified in
Section 106, of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the
location of any such other office or agency.

     Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, unless otherwise
specified as contemplated by Section 301 for the Securities of any series, any
office or agency required by this Section may be maintained at an office of the
Company or an Affiliate of the Company, in which event the Company or such
Affiliate, as the case may be, shall perform all functions to be performed at
such office or agency.

SECTION 603. 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 the Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, it shall, on or before
each due date of the principal of or premium, interest or Additional Amounts,
if any, on any of such Securities, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit
of the Persons entitled thereto a sum sufficient to pay the principal, premium,
interest or Additional Amounts so becoming due until such sums shall be paid to
such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided. The Company shall
promptly notify the Trustee of any failure by the Company (or any other obligor
on such Securities) to make any payment of principal of or premium, interest or
Additional Amounts, if any, on such Securities.

     Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents for the
Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, it shall, on or before each
due date of the principal of or premium, interest or Additional Amounts, if
any, on such Securities, deposit with such Paying Agents sums sufficient
(without duplication) to pay the principal, premium, interest or Additional
Amounts so becoming due, such sums to be held in trust for the benefit of the
Persons entitled to such principal, premium, interest or Additional Amounts,
and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company shall promptly notify
the Trustee of any failure by it so to act.

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

       (a) hold all sums held by it for the payment of the principal of or
    premium, interest or Additional Amounts, if any, on such 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 failure by the Company (or any other
    obligor upon such Securities) to make any payment of principal of or
    premium, interest or Additional Amounts, if any, on such Securities; and

       (c) at any time during the continuance of any such failure, upon the
    written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so
    held in trust by such Paying Agent and furnish to the Trustee such
    information as it possesses regarding the names and addresses of the
    Persons entitled to such sums.

     The Company may at any time pay, or by Company Order direct any Paying
Agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Company or such
Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same trusts as those
upon which such sums were held by the Company or such Paying Agent and, if so
stated in a Company Order delivered to the Trustee, in accordance with the
provisions of Article Seven; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the
Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with
respect to such money.

                                       36

     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, interest
or Additional Amounts, if any, on any Security and remaining unclaimed for two
years after such principal or premium, interest or Additional Amounts, if any,
have become due and payable shall to the extent permitted by law be paid to the
Company on Company Request, or, if then held by the Company, shall be
discharged from such trust; and, upon such payment or discharge, the Holder of
such Security shall, as an unsecured general creditor and not as the Holder of
an Outstanding Security, look only to the Company for payment of the amount so
due and payable and remaining unpaid unless the applicable law provides
otherwise, 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 payment to the Company, may at the
expense of the Company cause to be mailed, on one occasion only, notice to such
Holder that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified
therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such mailing,
any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be paid to the Company.

shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full
force and effect its existence as a corporation.

others, make reasonable effort to cause) all of its properties used or useful
in the conduct of its business to be maintained and kept in good condition,
repair and working order and shall cause (or, with respect to property owned in
common with others, make reasonable effort to 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 conducted; provided, however, that
nothing in this Section shall prevent the Company from discontinuing, or
causing the discontinuance of, the operation and maintenance of any of its
properties if such discontinuance is, in the judgment of the Company, desirable
in the conduct of its business.

SECTION 606. ANNUAL OFFICER'S CERTIFICATE AS TO COMPLIANCE.

Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer's Certificate, which need not
comply with Section 102, executed by the principal executive officer, the
principal financial officer or the principal accounting officer of the Company,
as to such officer's knowledge of the Company's compliance with all conditions
and covenants under this Indenture, such compliance to be determined without
regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice under this Indenture,
and if the Company shall be in default, specifying all such defaults and the
nature and status thereof of which they may have knowledge, and otherwise
complying with the provisions of Section 314(a)(4) of the Trust Indenture Act.

provision or condition set forth in (a) Section 602 or any additional covenant
or restriction specified with respect to the Securities of any series, or any
Tranche thereof, as contemplated by Section 301 or by clause (c) of Section
1201, if before the time for such compliance the Holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of all series and
Tranches with respect to which compliance with Section 602 or such additional
covenant or restriction is to be omitted, considered as one class, shall, by
Act of such Holders, either waive such compliance in such instance or generally
waive compliance with such term, provision or condition and (b) Section 605 or
Article Eleven if before the time for such compliance the Holders of a majority
in aggregate principal amount of Securities Outstanding under this Indenture
shall, by Act of such Holders, either waive such compliance in such instance or
generally waive compliance with such term, provision or condition; but, in the
case of (a) or (b), no such waiver shall extend to or affect such term,
provision or condition except to the extent so expressly waived, and, until
such waiver shall become effective, the obligations of the Company and the
duties of the Trustee in respect of any such term, provision or condition shall
remain in full force and effect.

SECTION 608. CALCULATION OF ORIGINAL ISSUE DISCOUNT.

     The Company shall file with the Trustee as promptly as possible after the
end of each calendar year (i) a written notice specifying the amount of
original issue discount (including daily rates and accrual periods) accrued on
Outstanding Securities as of the end of such year and (ii) such other specific
information relating to such original issue discount as may then be relevant
under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time.

                    DEFEASANCE; SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE

SECTION 701. DEFEASANCE

     Any Security or Securities, or any portion of the principal amount
thereof, shall be deemed to have been paid for all purposes of this Indenture,
and the entire indebtedness of the Company in respect thereof shall be deemed
to have been satisfied and discharged, if there shall have been irrevocably
deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent (other than the Company), in
trust:

          (a) money in an amount which shall be sufficient, or

          (b) in the case of a deposit made prior to the Maturity of such
     Securities or portions thereof, Eligible Obligations, which shall not
     contain provisions permitting the redemption or other prepayment thereof at
     the option of the issuer thereof, the principal of and the interest on
     which when due, without any regard to reinvestment thereof, will provide
     moneys which, together with the money, if any, deposited with or held by
     the Trustee or such Paying Agent, shall be sufficient, or

                                       38

          (c) a combination of (a) or (b) which shall be sufficient, to pay when
     due the principal of and premium, interest and Additional Amounts, if any,
     due and to become due on such Securities or portions thereof on or prior to
     Maturity; provided, however, that in the case of the provision for payment
     or redemption of less than all the Securities of any series or Tranche,
     such Securities or portions thereof shall have been selected by the
     Security Registrar as provided herein and, in the case of a redemption, the
     notice requisite to the validity of such redemption shall have been given
     or irrevocable authority shall have been given by the Company to the
     Trustee to give such notice, under arrangements satisfactory to the
     Trustee; and provided, further, that the Company shall have delivered to
     the Trustee and such Paying Agent:

          (x) if such deposit shall have been made prior to the Maturity of
        such Securities, a Company Order stating that the money and Eligible
        Obligations deposited in accordance with this Section shall be held in
        trust, as provided in Section 703; and

          (y) if Eligible Obligations shall have been deposited, an Opinion of
        Counsel that the obligations so deposited constitute Eligible
        Obligations and do not contain provisions permitting the redemption or
        other prepayment at the option of the issuer thereof, and an opinion of
        an independent public accountant of nationally recognized standing,
        selected by the Company, to the effect that the requirements set forth
        in clause (b) above have been satisfied; and

          (z) if such deposit shall have been made prior to the Maturity of
        such Securities, an Officer's Certificate stating the Company's
        intention that, upon delivery of such Officer's Certificate, its
        indebtedness in respect of such Securities or portions thereof will
        have been satisfied and discharged as contemplated in this Section.

     Upon the deposit of money or Eligible Obligations, or both, in accordance
with this Section, together with the documents required by clauses (x), (y) and
(z) above, the Trustee shall, upon receipt of a Company Request, acknowledge in
writing that the Security or Securities or portions thereof with respect to
which such deposit was made are deemed to have been paid for all purposes of
this Indenture and that the entire indebtedness of the Company in respect
thereof has been satisfied and discharged as contemplated in this Section. In
the event that all of the conditions set forth in the preceding paragraph shall
have been satisfied in respect of any Securities or portions thereof except
that, for any reason, the Officer's Certificate specified in clause (z), shall
not have been delivered, such Securities or portions thereof shall nevertheless
be deemed to have been paid for all purposes of this Indenture, and the Holders
of such Securities or portions thereof shall nevertheless be no longer entitled
to the benefits of this Indenture or of any of the covenants of the Company
under Article Six (except the covenants contained in Sections 602 and 603) or
any other covenants made in respect of such Securities or portions thereof as
contemplated by Section 301 or Section 1201(c), but the indebtedness of the
Company in respect of such Securities or portions thereof shall not be deemed
to have been satisfied and discharged prior to Maturity for any other purpose,
and the Holders of such Securities or portions thereof shall continue to be
entitled to look to the Company for payment of the indebtedness represented
thereby; and, upon Company Request, the Trustee shall acknowledge in writing
that such Securities or portions thereof are deemed to have been paid for all
purposes of this Indenture.

                                       39

     If payment at Stated Maturity of less than all of the Securities of any
series, or any Tranche thereof, is to be provided for in the manner and with
the effect provided in this Section, the Security Registrar shall select such
Securities, or portions of principal amount thereof, in the manner specified by
Section 403 for selection for redemption of less than all the Securities of a
series or Tranche.

     In the event that Securities which shall be deemed to have been paid for
purposes of this Indenture, and, if such is the case, in respect of which the
Company's indebtedness shall have been satisfied and discharged, all as
provided in this Section do not mature and are not to be redeemed within the 60
day period commencing with the date of the deposit of moneys or Eligible
Obligations, as aforesaid, the Company shall, as promptly as practicable, give
a notice, in the same manner as a notice of redemption with respect to such
Securities, to the Holders of such Securities to the effect that such deposit
has been made and the effect thereof.

     Notwithstanding that any Securities shall be deemed to have been paid for
purposes of this Indenture, as aforesaid, the obligations of the Company and
the Trustee in respect of such Securities under Sections 304, 305, 306, 404,
503 (as to notice of redemption), 602, 603, 907, 909, 910 and 915 and this
Article Seven shall survive.

     The Company shall pay, and shall indemnify the Trustee or any Paying Agent
with which Eligible Obligations shall have been deposited as provided in this
Section against, any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against
such Eligible Obligations or the principal or interest received in respect of
such Eligible Obligations, including, but not limited to, any such tax payable
by any entity deemed, for tax purposes, to have been created as a result of
such deposit.

     Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (a) if, at any time after
a Security would be deemed to have been paid for purposes of this Indenture,
and, if such is the case, the Company's indebtedness in respect thereof would
be deemed to have been satisfied or discharged, pursuant to this Section
(without regard to the provisions of this paragraph), the Trustee or any Paying
Agent, as the case may be, shall be required to return the money or Eligible
Obligations, or combination thereof, deposited with it as aforesaid to the
Company or its representative under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or
other similar law, such Security shall thereupon be deemed retroactively not to
have been paid and any satisfaction and discharge of the Company's indebtedness
in respect thereof shall retroactively be deemed not to have been effected, and
such Security shall be deemed to remain Outstanding and (b) any satisfaction
and discharge of the Company's indebtedness in respect of any Security shall be
subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 603.

SECTION 702. SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE

     This Indenture shall upon Company Request cease to be of further effect
(except as hereinafter expressly provided), and the Trustee, at the expense of
the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and
discharge of this Indenture, when

       (a) no Securities remain Outstanding hereunder; and

                                       40

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

provided, however, that if, in accordance with the last paragraph of Section
701, any Security, previously deemed to have been paid for purposes of this
Indenture, shall be deemed retroactively not to have been so paid, this
Indenture shall thereupon be deemed retroactively not to have been satisfied
and discharged, as aforesaid, and to remain in full force and effect, and the
Company shall execute and deliver such instruments as the Trustee shall
reasonably request to evidence and acknowledge the same.

     Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture as
aforesaid, the obligations of the Company and the Trustee under Sections 304,
305, 306, 404, 503 (as to notice of redemption), 602, 603, 907, 909, 910 and
915 and this Article Seven shall survive.

     Upon satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture as provided in this
Section, the Trustee shall upon Company Request, assign, transfer and turn over
to the Company, subject to the lien provided by Section 907, any and all money,
securities and other property then held by the Trustee for the benefit of the
Holders of the Securities other than money and Eligible Obligations held by the
Trustee pursuant to Section 703 and shall execute and deliver to the Company
such instruments as, in the judgment of the Company, shall be necessary,
desirable or appropriate to effect or evidence the satisfaction and discharge
of this Indenture.

SECTION 703. APPLICATION OF TRUST MONEY

     Neither the Eligible Obligations nor the money deposited pursuant to
Section 701, nor the principal or interest payments on any such Eligible
Obligations, shall be withdrawn or used for any purpose other than, and shall be
held in trust for, the payment of the principal of and premium, interest and
Additional Amounts, if any, on the Securities or portions of principal amount
thereof in respect of which such deposit was made, all subject, however, to the
provisions of Section 603; provided, however, that, so long as there shall not
have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default, any cash received from such
principal or interest payments on such Eligible Obligations, if not then needed
for such purpose, shall, to the extent practicable, and upon Company Request, be
invested in Eligible Obligations of the type described in clause (b) in the
first paragraph of Section 701 maturing at such times and in such amounts as
shall be sufficient together with any other moneys and the principal and
interest on any other Eligible Obligations then held by the Trustee to pay when
due the principal of and premium, if any, and interest and Additional Amounts,
if any, due and to become due on such Securities or portions thereof on and
prior to the Maturity thereof, and interest earned from such reinvestment shall
be paid over to the Company as received, free and clear of any trust, lien or
pledge under this Indenture except the lien provided by Section 907; and
provided, further, that, so long as there shall not have occurred and be
continuing an Event of Default, any moneys held in accordance with this Section
on the Maturity of all such Securities in excess of the amount required to pay
the principal of and premium, interest and Additional Amounts, if any, then due
on such Securities shall, upon Company Request, be paid over to the Company free
and clear of any trust, lien or pledge under this Indenture except the lien
provided by Section 907; and provided, further, that if an Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing, moneys to be paid over

                                       41

     to the Company pursuant to this Section shall be held until such Event of
     Default shall have been waived or cured.

    series.

SECTION 802. DECLARATION OF ACCELERATION; RESCISSION AND ANNULMENT

     If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing with respect to the
Securities of any series, then and in each and every such case, unless the
principal of all Securities of such series shall have already become due and
payable, either the Trustee for such series or the Holders of not less than 25%
in aggregate principal amount at maturity of the Securities of such series then
Outstanding, by notice in writing to the Company and to the Trustee if given by
such Holders, may declare the principal of all the Securities of such series to
be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall
become and shall be immediately due and payable.

     At any time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to
Securities of any series shall have been made and before a judgment or decree
for payment of the money due shall have been obtained by the Trustee as
hereinafter in this Article provided, the Event of Default or Events of Default
giving rise to such declaration of acceleration shall, without further act, be
deemed to have been waived, and such declaration and its consequences shall,
without further act, be deemed to have been rescinded and annulled, if

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

          (1) all overdue interest on, or Additional Amounts, if any, with

          (2) the principal of and premium, if any, on any Securities of such
        series which have become due otherwise than by such declaration of
        acceleration

                                       43

        and interest thereon at the rate or rates prescribed therefor herein
        or in such Securities;

          (3) to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest
        upon overdue interest, if any, or upon Additional Amounts, if any, at
        the rate or rates prescribed therefor herein or in such Securities;

          (4) all amounts due to the Trustee under Section 907;

          and

       (b) any other Event of Default or Events of Default with respect to
    Securities of such series, other than the nonpayment of the principal of
    Securities of such series which shall have become due solely by such
    declaration of acceleration, shall have been cured or waived as provided
    in Section 813.

No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Event of Default or impair any
right consequent thereon.

SECTION 803. COLLECTION OF INDEBTEDNESS AND SUITS FOR ENFORCEMENT BY TRUSTEE

     If an Event of Default described in clause (a) or (b) of Section 801 shall
have occurred and be continuing, the Company shall, upon demand of the Trustee,
pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders of the Securities of the series with
respect to which such Event of Default shall have occurred, the whole amount
then due and payable on such Securities for principal and premium, interest and
Additional Amounts, if any, and, to the extent permitted by law, interest on
any overdue principal, premium, interest, and Additional Amounts, if any, at
the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities, and, in addition
thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover any amounts due to
the Trustee under Section 907. Unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section
301 with respect to any series of Securities, the rate or rates at which
Securities shall bear interest on overdue principal, premium, interest and
Additional Amounts shall be, to the extent permitted by law, the same rate or
rates at which such Securities shall bear interest prior to maturity.

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

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

                                       44

SECTION 804. TRUSTEE MAY FILE PROOFS OF CLAIM

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

       (a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal,
    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 amounts due to the Trustee under
    Section 907) and of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceeding, and

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

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or
other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by
each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the
Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders,
to pay to the Trustee any amounts due it under Section 907.

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

SECTION 805. TRUSTEE MAY ENFORCE CLAIMS WITHOUT POSSESSION OF SECURITIES

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

SECTION 806. APPLICATION OF MONEY COLLECTED

     Any money or other property collected or received by the Trustee pursuant
to this Article or otherwise distributable in respect of the Company's
obligations under this Indenture in the case of an Event of Default 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 or Additional Amounts, if any, upon presentation of the
Securities in

                                       45

respect of which or for the benefit of which such money shall have been
collected and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and
upon surrender thereof if fully paid:

       FIRST: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee (including any
   predecessor Trustee) under Section 907;

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

       THIRD: To the payment of the remainder, if any, to the Company or to
   whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of
   competent jurisdiction may direct.

SECTION 807. LIMITATION ON SUITS

     No Holder 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 shall have previously given written notice to the
    Trustee of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities of
    such series or Tranche;

       (b) the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
    Outstanding Securities of all series in respect of which an Event of
    Default shall have occurred and be continuing, considered as one class,
    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 shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable
    indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in
    compliance with such request;

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

       (e) no direction inconsistent with such written request shall have been
    given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a
    majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of
    all series in respect of which an Event of Default shall have occurred and
    be continuing, considered as one class;

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

                                       46

preference over any other of such Holders or to enforce any right under this
Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable
benefit of all of such Holders.

SECTION 808. UNCONDITIONAL RIGHT OF HOLDERS TO RECEIVE PRINCIPAL, PREMIUM AND
             INTEREST

     Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any
Security shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive
payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and (subject to Sections 307
and 311) interest, if any, and Additional Amounts, if any, on such Security on
the Stated Maturity or Maturities if any expressed in such Security (or, in the
case of redemption, on the Redemption Date) and to institute suit for the
enforcement of any such payment, and such rights shall not be impaired without
the consent of such Holder.

SECTION 809. RESTORATION OF RIGHTS AND REMEDIES

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

SECTION 810. RIGHTS AND REMEDIES CUMULATIVE

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

SECTION 811. DELAY OR OMISSION NOT WAIVER

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

SECTION 812. CONTROL BY HOLDERS OF SECURITIES

     If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing in respect of
a series of Securities, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of such 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, however, that if an Event
of Default shall

                                       47

have occurred and be continuing with respect to more than one series of
Securities, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of all such series, considered as one class, shall have
the right to make such direction, and not the Holders of the Securities of any
one of such series; and provided, further, 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 any such direction,

       (c) subject to the provisions of Section 601, the Trustee shall have the
    right to decline to follow any such directions if the Trustee in good
    faith shall, by a Responsible Officer of Officers of the Trustee,
    determine that the proceeding so directed would involve the Trustee in
    personal liability; and

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

     Before proceeding to exercise any right or power hereunder at the
direction of such Holders, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive from such
Holders reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and
liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with any such
direction.

SECTION 813. WAIVER OF PAST DEFAULTS

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

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

       (b) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Section
    1202 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 and all
Events of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for
every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any
subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon.

SECTION 814. UNDERTAKING FOR COSTS

     The Company and the Trustee agree, and each Holder by his acceptance
thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion
require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this
Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or
omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit

                                       48

of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its
discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees,
against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and
good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the
provisions of this Section shall not apply to any suit instituted by the
Company, to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any
Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the aggregate more than 10% in aggregate
principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of all series in respect of which
such suit may be brought, considered as one class, or to any suit instituted by
any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of or premium, if
any, or interest or Additional Amounts, if any, on any Security on or after the
Stated Maturity or Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of
redemption, on or after the Redemption Date).

SECTION 815. WAIVER OF STAY OR EXTENSION LAWS

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

                                  ARTICLE NINE

                                  THE TRUSTEE

SECTION 901. CERTAIN DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

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

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

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

                                       49

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

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

          (i) this Subsection shall not be construed to limit the effect of
        Subsections (a) and (d) of this Section;

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

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

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

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

SECTION 902. NOTICE OF DEFAULTS

     The Trustee shall give notice of any default hereunder known to the
Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series to the Holders of
Securities of such series in the manner and to the extent required to do so by
the Trust Indenture Act, unless such default shall have been cured or waived;
provided, however, that in the case of any default of the character specified
in Section 801(c), no such notice to Holders shall be given until at least 45
days after the occurrence thereof. For the purpose of this Section and clause
(i) of Section 903, the term "default" means any event which is, or after
notice or lapse of time, or both, would become, an Event of Default.

SECTION 903. CERTAIN RIGHTS OF TRUSTEE

     Subject to the provisions of Section 901:

                                       50

       (a) the Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be fully protected in
    acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate,
    statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction,
    consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness 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, or as
    otherwise expressly provided herein, 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 hereunder, the Trustee (unless other
    evidence be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of bad
    faith on its part, conclusively rely upon an Officer's 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 powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or
    direction of any Holder pursuant to this Indenture, unless such Holder
    shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity 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, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or
    document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further
    inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit,
    and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or
    investigation, it shall (subject to applicable legal requirements) be
    entitled to examine, during normal business hours, the books, records and
    premises of the Company, 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;

       (h) the rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given
    to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be
    indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in
    each of its capacities hereunder;

       (i) the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any default (as
    defined in Section 902) or Event of Default with respect to the Securities
    of any series for which

                                       51

    it is acting as Trustee unless either (1) a Responsible Officer of the
    Trustee shall have actual knowledge that such default or Event of Default,
    as the case may be, exists and constitutes a default or Event of Default, as
    the case may be, under this Indenture, or (2) written notice of such default
    or Event of Default shall have been given in the manner provided in Section
    105 hereof to the Trustee by the Company or any other obligor on such
    Securities or by any Holder of such Securities; and

       (j) the Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to
    take in good faith which it believes to be authorized or within its rights
    or powers conferred upon it under this Indenture.

SECTION 904. NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR RECITALS OR ISSUANCE OF SECURITIES

     The recitals contained herein and in the Securities (except the Trustee's
certificates of authentication) shall be taken as the statements of the
Company, and neither the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent assumes
responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as
to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Securities. 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 905. MAY HOLD SECURITIES

     Each of the Trustee, any Authenticating Agent, any Paying Agent, any
Security Registrar or any other agent of the Company, in its individual or any
other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and, subject to
Sections 908 and 913, may otherwise deal with the Company with the same rights
it would have if it were not the Trustee, Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent,
Security Registrar or such other agent.

SECTION 906. 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
expressly provided herein or otherwise agreed with, and for the sole benefit
of, the Company.

SECTION 907. COMPENSATION AND REIMBURSEMENT

     The Company shall

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

       (b) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, reimburse the Trustee
    upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances
    reasonably incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any
    provision of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the
    expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel),

                                       52

    except to the extent that any such expense, disbursement or advance may be
    attributable to the Trustee's negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith;
    and

       (c) indemnify the Trustee for and hold it harmless from and against, any
    loss, liability or expense reasonably incurred by it arising out of or in
    connection with the acceptance or administration of the trust or trusts
    hereunder or the performance of its duties hereunder, including the
    reasonable costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim or
    liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its
    powers or duties hereunder, except to the extent any such loss, liability
    or expense may be attributable to its negligence, willful misconduct or
    bad faith.

     As security for the performance of the obligations of the Company under
this Section, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Securities upon all
property and funds held or collected by the Trustee as such other than property
and funds held in trust under Section 703 (except as otherwise provided in
Section 703).

     In addition and without prejudice to the rights provided to the Trustee
under any of the provisions of this Indenture, when the Trustee incurs expenses
or renders services in connection with an Event of Default specified in Section
801(d) or Section 801(e), the expenses (including the reasonable charges and
expenses of its counsel) and the compensation for the services are intended to
constitute expenses of administration under any applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency or other similar law.

     The Company's obligations under this Section 907 and the lien referred to
in this Section 907 shall survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee,
the discharge of the Company's obligations under Article Seven of this
Indenture and/or the termination of this Indenture.

     "Trustee" for purposes of this Section shall include any predecessor
Trustee; provided, however, that the negligence, willful misconduct or bad
faith of any Trustee hereunder shall not affect the rights of any other
Trustee.

SECTION 908. DISQUALIFICATION; CONFLICTING INTERESTS.

     If the Trustee shall have or acquire any conflicting interest within the
meaning of the Trust Indenture Act, it shall either eliminate such conflicting
interest or resign to the extent, in the manner and with the effect, and subject
to the conditions, provided in the Trust Indenture Act and this Indenture. For
purposes of Section 310(b)(1) of the Trust Indenture Act and to the extent
permitted thereby, the Trustee, in its capacity as trustee in respect of the
Securities of any series, shall not be deemed to have a conflicting interest
arising from its capacity as trustee in respect of the Securities of any other
series issued under this Indenture. Nothing herein shall prevent the Trustee
from filing with the Commission the application referred to in the second to
last paragraph of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act.

SECTION 909. CORPORATE TRUSTEE REQUIRED; ELIGIBILITY

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

                                       53

       (a) a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the
    United States, any State or Territory thereof or the District of Columbia,
    authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a
    combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 and subject to
    supervision or examination by Federal, State authority, or other
    applicable Governmental Authority, or

       (b) if and to the extent permitted by the Commission by rule, regulation
    or order upon application, a corporation or other Person organized and
    doing business under the laws of a foreign government, authorized under
    such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital
    and surplus of at least $50,000,000 or the Dollar equivalent of the
    applicable foreign currency and subject to supervision or examination by
    authority of such foreign government or a political subdivision thereof
    substantially equivalent to supervision or examination applicable to
    United States institutional trustees,

and, in either case, qualified and eligible under this Article and the Trust
Indenture Act. If such corporation publishes reports of condition at least
annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of such supervising or
examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined
capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined
capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so
published. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance
with the provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner
and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article.

SECTION 910. RESIGNATION AND REMOVAL; APPOINTMENT OF SUCCESSOR

       (a) No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a
    successor Trustee pursuant to this Article shall become effective until
    the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee in accordance with
    the applicable requirements of Section 911.

       (b) The Trustee may resign at any time with respect to the Securities of
    one or more series by giving written notice thereof to the Company. If the
    instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee required by Section 911
    shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the
    giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition
    any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor
    Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series.

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

       (d) If at any time:

          (1) the Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 908 after written
        request therefor by the Company or by any Holder who has been a bona
        fide Holder for at least six months, or

                                       54

          (2) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 909 or
        Section 310(a) of the Trust Indenture Act and shall fail to resign
        after written request therefor by the Company or by any such Holder, or

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

then, in any such case, (x)  the Company by a Board Resolution may remove the
Trustee with respect to all Securities or (y) subject to Section 814, any
Holder who has been a bona fide Holder for at least six months may, on behalf
of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee with respect to all Securities and
the appointment of a successor Trustee or Trustees.

       (e) If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of
    acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause
    (other than as contemplated in clause (y) in subsection (d) of this
    Section), with respect to the Securities of one or more series, the
    Company, by a Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee
    or Trustees with respect to the Securities of that or those series (it
    being understood that any such successor Trustee may be appointed with
    respect to the Securities of one or more or all of such series and that at
    any time there shall be only one Trustee with respect to the Securities of
    any particular series) and shall comply with the applicable requirements
    of Section 911. If, within one year after such resignation, removal or
    incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee with
    respect to the Securities of any series shall be appointed by Act of the
    Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of
    such series delivered to the Company and the retiring Trustee, the
    successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of
    such appointment in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section
    911, become the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such
    series and to that extent supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the
    Company. If no successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any
    series shall have been so appointed by the Company or the Holders and
    accepted appointment in the manner required by Section 911, any Holder who
    has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of such series for at least six
    months may, on behalf of itself and all others similarly situated,
    petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a
    successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series.

       (f) So long as no event which is, or after notice or lapse of time, or
    both, would become, an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
    continuing, and except with respect to a Trustee appointed by Act of the
    Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities
    pursuant to subsection (e) of this Section, if the Company shall have
    delivered to the Trustee (i) a Board Resolution appointing a successor
    Trustee, effective as of a date specified therein, and (ii) an instrument
    of acceptance of such appointment, effective as of such date, by such
    successor Trustee in accordance with Section 911, the Trustee shall be
    deemed to have resigned as contemplated in subsection (b) of this Section,
    the successor Trustee shall be deemed to

                                       55

    have been appointed by the Company pursuant to subsection (e) of this
    Section and such appointment shall be deemed to have been accepted as
    contemplated in Section 911, all as of such date, and all other provisions
    of this Section and Section 911 shall be applicable to such resignation,
    appointment and acceptance except to the extent inconsistent with this
    subsection (f).

       (g) The Company (or, should the Company fail so to act promptly, the
    successor trustee at the expense of the Company) shall give notice of each
    resignation and each removal of the Trustee with respect to the Securities
    of any series and each appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to
    the Securities of any series by mailing written notice of such event by
    first-class mail, postage prepaid, to all Holders of Securities of such
    series as their names and addresses appear in the Security Register. Each
    notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee with respect to the
    Securities of such series and the address of its corporate trust office.

SECTION 911. ACCEPTANCE OF APPOINTMENT BY SUCCESSOR

          (a) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with
     respect to the Securities of all series, every such successor Trustee so
     appointed shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to the
     retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon
     the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective
     and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance
     shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the
     retiring Trustee; but, on the request of the Company or the successor
     Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of all sums owed to it,
     execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee
     all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee and shall duly
     assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and
     money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder, subject nevertheless to its
     lien provided in Section 907.

          (b) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with
     respect to the Securities of one or more (but not all) series, the Company,
     the retiring Trustee and each successor Trustee with respect to the
     Securities of one or more series shall execute and deliver an indenture
     supplemental hereto wherein each successor Trustee shall accept such
     appointment and which (1) shall contain such provisions as shall be
     necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, each
     successor Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring
     Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the
     appointment of such successor Trustee relates, (2) if the retiring Trustee
     is not retiring with respect to all Securities, shall contain such
     provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all
     the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect
     to the Securities of that or those series as to which the retiring Trustee
     is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the retiring Trustee and (3)
     shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be
     necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts
     hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein
     or in such supplemental indenture shall constitute such Trustees
     co-trustees of the same trust and that each such Trustee shall be trustee
     of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts
     hereunder

                                       56

     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, upon payment of
     all sums owed to it, 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, subject nevertheless to
     its lien provided for in Section 907.

          (c) Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Company shall
     execute any instruments which fully vest in and confirm to such successor
     Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred to in subsection (a) or
     (b) of this Section, as the case may be.

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

SECTION 912. MERGER, CONVERSION, CONSOLIDATION OR SUCCESSION TO BUSINESS

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

SECTION 913. PREFERENTIAL COLLECTION OF CLAIMS AGAINST COMPANY

     If the Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the Company or any other
obligor upon the Securities (other than by reason of a relationship described
in Section 311(b) of the Trust Indenture Act), the Trustee shall be subject to
the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act regarding the collection of claims
against the Company or such other obligor. For purposes of Section 311(b) of
the Trust Indenture Act:

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

       (b) the term "self-liquidating paper" means any draft, bill of exchange,
    acceptance or obligation which is made, drawn, negotiated or incurred by
    the Company for the purpose of financing the purchase, processing,
    manufacturing, shipment, storage

                                       57

    or sale of goods, wares or merchandise and which is secured by documents
    evidencing title to, possession of, or a lien upon, the goods, wares or
    merchandise or the receivables or proceeds arising from the sale of the
    goods, wares or merchandise previously constituting the security, provided
    the security is received by the Trustee simultaneously with the creation of
    the creditor relationship with the Company arising from the making, drawing,
    negotiating or incurring of the draft, bill of exchange, acceptance or
    obligation.

SECTION 914. CO-TRUSTEES AND SEPARATE TRUSTEES.

     At any time or times, for the purpose of meeting the legal requirements of
any applicable jurisdiction, the Company and the Trustee shall have power to
appoint, and, upon the written request of the Trustee or of the Holders of at
least 33% in principal amount of the Securities then Outstanding, the Company
shall for such purpose join with the Trustee in the execution and delivery of
all instruments and agreements necessary or proper to appoint, one or more
Persons approved by the Trustee either to act as co-trustee, jointly with the
Trustee, or to act as separate trustee, in either case with such powers as may
be provided in the instrument of appointment, and to vest in such Person or
Persons, in the capacity aforesaid, any property, title, right or power deemed
necessary or desirable, subject to the other provisions of this Section. If the
Company does not join in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by
it of a request so to do, or if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, the Trustee alone shall have power to make such appointment.

     Should any written instrument or instruments from the Company be required
by any co-trustee or separate trustee so appointed to more fully confirm to
such co-trustee or separate trustee such property, title, right or power, any
and all such instruments shall, on request, be executed, acknowledged and
delivered by the Company.

     Every co-trustee or separate trustee shall, to the extent permitted by
law, but to such extent only, be appointed subject to the following conditions:

          (a) the Securities shall be authenticated and delivered, and all
     rights, powers, duties and obligations hereunder in respect of the custody
     of securities, cash and other personal property held by, or required to be
     deposited or pledged with, the Trustee hereunder, shall be exercised
     solely, by the Trustee;

          (b) the rights, powers, duties and obligations hereby conferred or
     imposed upon the Trustee in respect of any property covered by such
     appointment shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed
     either by the Trustee or by the Trustee and such co-trustee or separate
     trustee jointly, as shall be provided in the instrument appointing such
     co-trustee or separate trustee, except to the extent that under any law of
     any jurisdiction in which any particular act is to be performed, the
     Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act, in which
     event such rights, powers, duties and obligations shall be exercised and
     performed by such co-trustee or separate trustee;

          (c) the Trustee at any time, by an instrument in writing executed by
     it, with the concurrence of the Company, may accept the resignation of or
     remove any co-trustee

                                       58

     or separate trustee appointed under this Section, and, if an Event of
     Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee shall have power
     to accept the resignation of, or remove, any such co-trustee or separate
     trustee without the concurrence of the Company. Upon the written request of
     the Trustee, the Company shall join with the Trustee in the execution and
     delivery of all instruments and agreements necessary or proper to
     effectuate such resignation or removal. A successor to any co-trustee or
     separate trustee so resigned or removed may be appointed in the manner
     provided in this Section;

          (d) no co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be personally
     liable by reason of any act or omission of the Trustee, or any other such
     trustee hereunder, and the Trustee shall not be personally liable by reason
     of any act or omission of any such co-trustee or separate trustee; and

          (e) any Act of Holders delivered to the Trustee shall be deemed to
     have been delivered to each such co-trustee and separate trustee.

SECTION 915. APPOINTMENT OF AUTHENTICATING AGENT

     The Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents with respect to
the Securities of one or more series, or any Tranche thereof, which shall be
authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Securities of such
series or Tranche issued upon original issuance, exchange, registration of
transfer or partial redemption thereof or pursuant to Section 306, and
Securities so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture
and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the
Trustee hereunder. Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to the
authentication and delivery of Securities by the Trustee or the Trustee's
certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include
authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent
and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an
Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the
Company and shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business
under the laws of the United States, any State or territory thereof or the
District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to act as Authenticating
Agent, having a combined capital and surplus of not less than $50,000,000 and
subject to supervision or examination by Federal, State or other applicable
Governmental Authority. If such Authenticating Agent publishes reports of
condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of said
supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the
combined capital and surplus of such Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be
its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of
condition so published. If at any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to
be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, such
Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect
specified in this Section.

     Any corporation into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or
converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting
from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent
shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate agency or
corporate trust business of an Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be an
Authenticating Agent, provided such corporation shall be otherwise eligible

                                       59

under this Section, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further
act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent.

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

     The Trustee agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time
reasonable compensation for its services under this Section, and the Trustee
shall be entitled to be reimbursed for such payments, in accordance with, and
subject to the provisions of, Section 907.

     The provisions of Sections 308, 904 and 905 shall be applicable to each
Authenticating Agent.

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

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

Dated:                                  [Name of Trustee],
                                        as Trustee

                                        By
                                           -------------------------------
                                           As Authenticating
                                           Agent

                                        By
                                           -------------------------------
                                           Authorized Signatory

     If all of the Securities of a series may not be originally issued at one
time, and if the Trustee does not have an office capable of authenticating
Securities upon original issuance located in a Place of Payment where the
Company wishes to have Securities of such series authenticated upon original
issuance, the Trustee, if so requested by the Company in writing

                                       60

(which writing need not comply with Section 102 and need not be accompanied by
an Opinion of Counsel), shall appoint, in accordance with this Section and in
accordance with such procedures as shall be acceptable to the Trustee, an
Authenticating Agent having an office in a Place of Payment designated by the
Company with respect to such series of Securities.

SECTION 1202. SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES WITH CONSENT OF HOLDERS

     With the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the Securities of all series then Outstanding under this Indenture,
considered as one class, by Act of said Holders delivered to the Company and
the Trustee, the Company, when authorized by Board Resolutions, and the Trustee
may enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for the purpose
of adding any provisions to, or changing in any manner or eliminating any of
the provisions of, this Indenture or modifying in any manner the rights of the
Holders of Securities of such series under the Indenture; provided, however,
that if there shall be Securities of more than one series Outstanding hereunder
and if a proposed supplemental indenture shall directly affect the rights of
the Holders of Securities of one or more, but less than all, of such series,
then the consent only of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the Outstanding Securities of all series so directly affected,
considered as one class, shall be required; and provided, further, that if the
Securities of any series shall have been issued in more than one Tranche and if
the proposed supplemental indenture shall directly affect the rights of the
Holders

                                       64

of Securities of one or more, but less than all, of such Tranches, then the
consent only of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of all Tranches so directly affected, considered as one
class, shall be required; and provided, further, that no such supplemental
indenture shall:

       (a) change the Stated Maturity of the principal of, or any installment
    of principal of or interest on any Security (other than pursuant to the
    terms thereof), or reduce the principal amount thereof or the rate of
    interest thereon (or the amount of any installment of interest thereon) or
    change the method of calculating such rate or reduce any premium payable
    upon the redemption thereof, or reduce the amount of the principal of a
    Discount Security that would be due and payable upon a declaration of
    acceleration of the Maturity thereof pursuant to Section 802, or change
    the coin or currency (or other property), in which any Security or any
    premium or the interest thereon is payable, or impair the right to
    institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after the
    Stated Maturity of any Security (or, in the case of redemption, on or
    after the Redemption Date), without, in any such case, the consent of the
    Holder of such Security, or

       (b) reduce the percentage in principal amount of the Outstanding
    Securities of any series or any Tranche thereof, the consent of the
    Holders of which is required for any such supplemental indenture, or the
    consent of the Holders of which is required for any waiver of compliance
    with any provision of this Indenture or of any default hereunder and its
    consequences, or reduce the requirements of Section 1304 for quorum or
    voting, without, in any such case, the consent of the Holders of each
    Outstanding Security of such series or Tranche, or

       (c) modify any of the provisions of this Section, Section 607 or Section
    813 with respect to the Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof,
    except to increase the percentages in principal amount referred to in this
    Section or such other Sections or to provide that other provisions of this
    Indenture cannot be modified or waived without the consent of the Holder
    of each Outstanding Security affected thereby; provided, however, that
    this clause shall not be deemed to require the consent of any Holder with
    respect to changes in the references to "the Trustee" and concomitant
    changes in this Section, or the deletion of this proviso, in accordance
    with the requirements of Sections 911(b), 914 and 1201(h).

     A supplemental indenture which changes or eliminates any covenant or other
provision of this Indenture which has expressly been included solely for the
benefit of one or more particular series of Securities, or of one or more
Tranches thereof, 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 or Tranche.

     It shall not be necessary for any Act of Holders under this Section to
approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it
shall be sufficient if such Act shall approve the substance thereof. A waiver
by a Holder of such Holder's right to consent under this Section shall be
deemed to be a consent of such Holder.

                                       65

     Anything in this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, if the
Officer's Certificate, supplemental indenture or Board Resolution, as the case
may be, establishing the Securities of any series or Tranche shall provide that
the Company may make certain specified additions, changes or eliminations to or
from the Indenture which shall be specified in such Officer's Certificate,
supplemental indenture or Board Resolution establishing such series or Tranche,
(a) the Holders of Securities of such series or Tranche shall be deemed to have
consented to a supplemental indenture containing such additions, changes or
eliminations to or from the Indenture which shall be specified in such
Officer's Certificate, supplemental indenture or Board Resolution establishing
such series or Tranche, (b) no Act of such Holders shall be required to
evidence such consent and (c) such consent may be counted in the determination
of whether or not the Holders of the requisite principal amount of Securities
shall have consented to such supplemental indenture.

SECTION 1203. EXECUTION OF SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES

     In executing, or accepting the additional trusts created by, any
supplemental indenture permitted by this Article or the modifications thereby
of the trusts created by this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to
receive, and (subject to Section 901) shall be fully protected in relying upon,
an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such supplemental indenture
is authorized or permitted by this Indenture. The Trustee may, but shall not be
obligated to, enter into any such supplemental indenture which affects the
Trustee's own rights, duties, immunities or liabilities under this Indenture or
otherwise.

SECTION 1204. EFFECT OF SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES

     Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture under this Article, this
Indenture shall be modified in accordance therewith, and such supplemental
indenture shall form a part of this Indenture for all purposes; and every
Holder of Securities theretofore or thereafter authenticated and delivered
hereunder shall be bound thereby. Any supplemental indenture permitted by this
Article may restate this Indenture in its entirety, and, upon the execution and
delivery thereof, any such restatement shall supersede this Indenture as
theretofore in effect for all purposes.

SECTION 1205. CONFORMITY WITH TRUST INDENTURE ACT.

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

SECTION 1206. REFERENCE IN SECURITIES TO SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES

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

                                       66

SECTION 1207. MODIFICATION WITHOUT SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE

     If the terms of any particular series of Securities shall have been
established in a Board Resolution or an Officer's Certificate as contemplated by
Section 301, and not in an indenture supplemental hereto, additions to, changes
in or the elimination of any of such terms may be effected by means of a
supplemental Board Resolution or Officer's Certificate, as the case may be,
delivered to, and accepted by, the Trustee; provided, however, that such
supplemental Board Resolution or Officer's Certificate shall not be accepted by
the Trustee or otherwise be effective unless all conditions set forth in this
Indenture which would be required to be satisfied if such additions, changes or
elimination were contained in a supplemental indenture shall have been
appropriately satisfied. Upon the acceptance thereof by the Trustee, any such
supplemental Board Resolution or Officer's Certificate shall be deemed to be a
"supplemental indenture" for purposes of Sections 1204 and 1205.

                                ARTICLE THIRTEEN

                  MEETINGS OF HOLDERS; ACTION WITHOUT MEETING

SECTION 1301. PURPOSES FOR WHICH MEETINGS MAY BE CALLED

     A meeting of Holders of Securities of one or more, or all, series, or any
Tranche or Tranches thereof, may be called at any time and from time to time

authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by
this Indenture to be made, given or taken by Holders of Securities of such
series or Tranches.

SECTION 1302. CALL, NOTICE AND PLACE OF MEETINGS

       (a) The Trustee may at any time call a meeting of Holders of Securities

    any purpose specified in Section 1301, to be held at such time and at such
    place in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, as the Trustee
    shall determine, or, with the approval of the Company, at any other place.
    Notice of every such meeting, setting forth the time and the place of such
    meeting and in general terms the action proposed to be taken at such
    meeting, shall be given, in the manner provided in Section 106, not less
    than 21 nor more than 180 days prior to the date fixed for the meeting.

       (b) If the Trustee shall have been requested to call a meeting of the
    Holders of Securities of one or more, or all, series, or any Tranche or
    Tranches thereof, by the Company or by the Holders of 33% in aggregate
    principal amount of all of such series and Tranches, considered as one
    class, for any purpose specified in Section 1301, by written request
    setting forth in reasonable detail the action proposed to be taken at the
    meeting, and the Trustee shall not have given the notice of such meeting
    within 21 days after receipt of such request or shall not thereafter
    proceed to cause the meeting to be held as provided herein, then the
    Company or the Holders of Securities of such series and Tranches in the
    amount above specified, as the case may be, may determine the time and the
    place in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, or in such other

                                       67

    shall be determined or approved by the Company, for such meeting and may
    call such meeting for such purposes by giving notice thereof as provided in
    subsection (a) of this Section.

       (c) Any meeting of Holders of Securities of one or more, or all, series,
    or any Tranche or Tranches thereof, shall be valid without notice if the
    Holders of all Outstanding Securities of such series or Tranches are
    present in person or by proxy and if representatives of the Company and
    the Trustee are present, or if notice is waived in writing before or after
    the meeting by the Holders of all Outstanding Securities of such series,
    or any Tranche or Tranches thereof, or by such of them as are not present
    at the meeting in person or by proxy, and by the Company and the Trustee.

SECTION 1303. PERSONS ENTITLED TO VOTE AT MEETINGS

     To be entitled to vote at any meeting of Holders of Securities of one or

and its counsel and any representatives of the Company and its counsel.

SECTION 1304. QUORUM; ACTION

     The Persons entitled to vote a majority in aggregate principal amount of
the Outstanding Securities of the series and Tranches with respect to which a
meeting shall have been called as hereinbefore provided, considered as one
class, shall constitute a quorum for a meeting of Holders of Securities of such
series and Tranches; provided, however, that if any action is to be taken at
such meeting which this Indenture expressly provides may be taken by the
Holders of a specified percentage, which is less than a majority, in principal
amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series and Tranches, considered as
one class, the Persons entitled to vote such specified percentage in principal
amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series and Tranches, considered as
one class, shall constitute a quorum. In the absence of a quorum within one
hour of the time appointed for any such meeting, the meeting shall, if convened
at the request of Holders of Securities of such series and Tranches, be
dissolved. In any other case the meeting may be adjourned for such period as
may be determined by the chairman of the meeting prior to the adjournment of
such meeting. In the absence of a quorum at any such adjourned meeting, such
adjourned meeting may be further adjourned for such period as may be determined
by the chairman of the meeting prior to the adjournment of such adjourned
meeting. Except as provided by Section 1305(e), notice of the reconvening of
any meeting adjourned for more than 30 days shall be given as provided in
Section 1302(a) not less than 10 days prior to the date on which the meeting is

shall state expressly the percentage, as provided above, of the principal
amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series and Tranches which shall
constitute a quorum.

                                       68

     Except as limited by Section 1202, any resolution presented to a meeting
or adjourned meeting duly reconvened at which a quorum is present as aforesaid
may be adopted only by the affirmative vote of the Holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of the series and
Tranches with respect to which such meeting shall have been called, considered
as one class; provided, however, that, except as so limited, any resolution
with respect to any action which this Indenture expressly provides may be taken
by the Holders of a specified percentage, which is less than a majority, in
principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series and Tranches,
considered as one class, may be adopted at a meeting or an adjourned meeting
duly reconvened and at which a quorum is present as aforesaid by the
affirmative vote of the Holders of such specified percentage in principal
amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series and Tranches, considered as
one class.

     Any resolution passed or decision taken at any meeting of Holders of
Securities duly held in accordance with this Section shall be binding on all
the Holders of Securities of the series and Tranches with respect to which such
meeting shall have been held, whether or not present or represented at the
meeting.

SECTION 1305. ATTENDANCE AT MEETINGS; DETERMINATION OF VOTING RIGHTS; CONDUCT
AND ADJOURNMENT OF MEETINGS

       (a) Attendance at meetings of Holders of Securities may be in person or
    if the Securities are in registered form by proxy; and, to the extent
    permitted by law, any such proxy shall remain in effect and be binding
    upon any future Holder of the Securities with respect to which it was
    given unless and until specifically revoked by the Holder or future Holder
    of such Securities before being voted.

       (b) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, the Trustee
    may make such reasonable regulations as it may deem advisable for any
    meeting of Holders of Securities in regard to proof of the holding of such
    Securities and of the appointment of proxies and in regard to the
    appointment and duties of inspectors of votes, the submission and
    examination of proxies, certificates and other evidence of the right to
    vote, and such other matters concerning the conduct of the meeting as it
    shall deem appropriate. Except as otherwise permitted or required by any
    such regulations, the holding of Securities shall be proved in the manner
    specified in Section 104 and the appointment of any proxy shall be proved in
    the manner specified in Section 104. Such regulations may provide that
    written instruments appointing proxies, regular on their face, may be
    presumed valid and genuine without the proof specified in Section 104 or
    other proof.

       (c) The Trustee shall, by an instrument in writing, appoint a temporary
    chairman of the meeting, unless the meeting shall have been called by the
    Company or by Holders as provided in Section 1302(b), in which case the
    Company or the Holders of Securities of the series and Tranches calling
    the meeting, as the case may be, shall in like manner appoint a temporary
    chairman. A permanent chairman and a permanent secretary of the meeting
    shall be elected by vote of the Persons entitled to vote a majority in
    aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of all series and
    Tranches represented at the meeting, considered as one class.

                                       69

       (d) At any meeting each Holder or proxy shall be entitled to one vote
    for each $1 principal amount of Securities held or represented by him;
    provided, however, that no vote shall be cast or counted at any meeting in
    respect of any Security challenged as not Outstanding and ruled by the
    chairman of the meeting to be not Outstanding. The chairman of the meeting
    shall have no right to vote, except as a Holder of a Security or proxy.

       (e) Any meeting duly called pursuant to Section 1302 at which a quorum
    is present may be adjourned from time to time by Persons entitled to vote
    a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of
    all series and Tranches represented at the meeting, considered as one
    class; and the meeting may be held as so adjourned without further notice.

SECTION 1306. COUNTING VOTES AND RECORDING ACTION OF MEETINGS

     The vote upon any resolution submitted to any meeting of Holders shall be
by written ballots on which shall be subscribed the signatures of the Holders
or of their representatives by proxy and the principal amounts and serial
numbers of the Outstanding Securities, of the series and Tranches with respect
to which the meeting shall have been called, held or represented by them. The
permanent chairman of the meeting shall appoint two inspectors of votes who
shall count all votes cast at the meeting for or against any resolution and who
shall make and file with the secretary of the meeting their verified written
reports of all votes cast at the meeting. A record of the proceedings of each
meeting of Holders shall be prepared by the secretary of the meeting and there
shall be attached to said record the original reports of the inspectors of
votes on any vote by ballot taken thereat and affidavits by one or more persons
having knowledge of the facts setting forth a copy of the notice of the meeting
and showing that said notice was given as provided in Section 1302 and, if
applicable, Section 1304. Each copy shall be signed and verified by the
affidavits of the permanent chairman and secretary of the meeting and one such
copy shall be delivered to the Company, and another to the Trustee to be
preserved by the Trustee, the latter to have attached thereto the ballots voted
at the meeting. Any record so signed and verified shall be conclusive evidence
of the matters therein stated.

SECTION 1307. ACTION WITHOUT MEETING

     In lieu of a vote of Holders at a meeting as hereinbefore contemplated in
this Article, any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent,
waiver or other action may be made, given or taken by Holders by written
instruments as provided in Section 104.

demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver hereunder or whether
or not a quorum is present at a meeting of Holders of Securities,

Outstanding under this Indenture, or (except for the purposes of actions to be
taken by Holders of (i) more than one series voting as a class under Section 812
or (ii) more than one series or more than one Tranche, as the case may be,
voting as a class under Section 1202) all Outstanding Securities of each series

Responsible Officer of the

Trustee actually knows to be so owned shall be so disregarded; provided,
however, that Securities so owned which have been pledged in good faith may be
regarded as Outstanding if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the
Trustee the pledgee's right so to act with respect to such Securities and that
the pledgee is not the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities or any
Affiliate of the Company or of such other obligor;

                 (y) the principal amount of a Discount Security that shall be
deemed to be Outstanding for such purposes shall be the amount of the principal
thereof that would be due and payable as of the date of such determination upon
a declaration of acceleration of the Maturity thereof pursuant to Section 802;
and

                 (z) the principal amount of any Security which is denominated
in a currency other than Dollars or in a composite currency that shall be deemed

York time) in The City of New York on the fifth Business Day preceding any such
determination or (ii) if on such fifth Business Day it shall not be possible or
practicable to obtain such quotations from three such banks, on such other
quotations or alternative methods of determination which shall be as consistent
as practicable with the method set forth in (i) above;

provided, further, that, in the case of any Security the principal of which is

purposes of this Indenture shall be the original principal amount thereof less
the aggregate amount of principal thereof theretofore paid.

under any provision of this Indenture, the Company shall, if requested by the

opinion of the Person signing such Officer's Certificate all conditions
precedent, if any, provided for in this Indenture relating to the proposed
action (including any covenants compliance with which constitutes a condition
precedent) have been complied with and an Opinion of Counsel stating that in the
opinion of such counsel all such conditions

                                       8

precedent, if any, have been complied with, except that in the case of any such
application or request as to which the furnishing of such documents is
specifically required by any provision of this Indenture relating to such
particular application or request, no additional certificate or opinion need be
furnished.

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

             (a) a statement that each Person signing such certificate or
       opinion has read such covenant or condition and the definitions herein

             (d) a statement as to whether, in the opinion of each such Person,
       such condition or covenant has been complied with.

SECTION 103. FORM OF DOCUMENTS DELIVERED TO TRUSTEE

                 Any certificate or opinion of an officer of the Company may be
based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of,
or representations by, counsel, unless such officer knows, or in the exercise of
reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations
with respect to the matters upon which such officer's certificate or opinion are
based are erroneous. Any such certificate or Opinion of Counsel may be based,
insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or
representations by an officer or officers of the Company stating that the
information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the
Company, unless such counsel knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should
know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to such
matters are erroneous. In addition, any Opinion of Counsel may be based (without
further examination or investigation), insofar as it relates to or is dependent
upon matters covered in an Opinion of Counsel rendered by other counsel, upon
such other Opinion of Counsel, unless such counsel has actual knowledge that the
Opinion of Counsel rendered by such other counsel with respect to the matters
upon which his Opinion of Counsel may be based as aforesaid are erroneous. If,
in order to render any Opinion of Counsel provided for herein, the signer
thereof shall deem it necessary that additional facts or matters be stated in
any Officer's Certificate provided for herein, then such certificate may state
all such additional facts or matters as the signer of such Opinion of Counsel
may request.

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

                                       9

and one or more other such Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may
certify or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents.

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

                 Whenever, subsequent to the receipt by the Trustee of any Board
Resolution, Officer's Certificate, Opinion of Counsel or other document or
instrument, a clerical, typographical or other inadvertent or unintentional
error or omission shall be discovered therein, a new document or instrument may
be substituted therefor in corrected form with the same force and effect as if
originally filed in the corrected form and, irrespective of the date or dates of
the actual execution and/or delivery thereof, such substitute document or
instrument shall be deemed to have been executed and/or delivered as of the date
or dates required with respect to the document or instrument for which it is
substituted. Anything in this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, if any
such corrective document or instrument indicates that action has been taken by
or at the request of the Company which could not have been taken had the
original document or instrument not contained such error or omission, the action
so taken shall not be invalidated or otherwise rendered ineffective but shall be
and remain in full force and effect, except to the extent that such action was a
result of willful misconduct or bad faith. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, any Securities issued under the authority of such defective
document or instrument shall nevertheless be the valid obligations of the
Company entitled to the benefits of this Indenture equally and ratably with all
other Outstanding Securities, except as aforesaid.

SECTION 104. ACTS OF HOLDERS

             (a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent,
       election, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be made,
       given or taken by Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more
       instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in
       person or by an agent duly appointed in writing or, alternatively, may be
       embodied in and evidenced by the record of Holders voting in favor
       thereof, either in person or by proxies duly appointed in writing, at any
       meeting of Holders duly called and held in accordance with the provisions
       of Article Thirteen, 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 and 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 (subject to Section 901) conclusive in favor of the
       Trustee and the Company, if made in the manner provided in this Section.
       The record of any meeting of Holders shall be proved in the manner
       provided in Section 1306.

                                       10

             (b) 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 or may be proved in any other manner which the Trustee
       and the Company deem sufficient. Where such execution is by a signer
       acting in a capacity other than his individual capacity, such certificate
       or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his authority.

             (c) The principal amount (except as otherwise contemplated in
       clause (y) of the first proviso to the definition of Outstanding) and
       serial numbers of Securities in registered form held by any Person, and
       the ownership and date of holding the same, shall be proved by the
       Security Register.

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

             (e) Until such time as written instruments shall have been
       delivered to the Trustee with respect to the requisite percentage of
       principal amount of Securities for the action contemplated by such
       instruments, any such instrument executed and delivered by or on behalf
       of a Holder may be revoked with respect to any or all of such Securities
       by written notice by such Holder or any subsequent Holder, proven in the
       manner in which such instrument was proven.

             (f) Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, authenticated
       and delivered after any Act of Holders may, and shall if required by the
       Trustee, bear a notation in form approved by the Trustee as to any action
       taken by such Act of Holders. If the Company shall so determine, new
       Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, so modified as to
       conform, in the opinion of the Trustee and the Company, to such action
       may be prepared and executed by the Company and authenticated and
       delivered by the Trustee in exchange for Outstanding Securities of such
       series or Tranche.

             (g) If the Company shall solicit from Holders any request, demand,
       authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, the
       Company may, at its option, fix in advance a record date for the
       determination of Holders entitled to give such request, demand,
       authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, but the
       Company shall have no obligation to do so. 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 the record date
       shall be deemed to be Holders for the purposes of determining whether
       Holders of the requisite proportion of the Outstanding Securities have
       authorized or agreed or consented to such request, demand, authorization,
       direction, notice, consent,

                                       11

       waiver or other Act, and for that purpose the Outstanding Securities
       shall be computed as of the record date.

SECTION 105. NOTICES, ETC. TO TRUSTEE AND COMPANY

             Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent,
election, waiver or other Act of Holders or other document provided or permitted
by this Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished to, or filed with, the
Trustee by any Holder or by the Company, or 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 delivered personally to an officer or
other responsible employee of the addressee at the applicable location set forth
below or at such other location as such party may from time to time designate by
written notice, or transmitted by facsimile transmission or other direct written
electronic means to such telephone number or other electronic communications

notice, or transmitted by certified or registered mail, charges prepaid, to the

SECTION 106. NOTICE TO HOLDERS OF SECURITIES; WAIVER

             Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or specified as
contemplated in Section 301 with respect to the Securities of any series or any
Tranche thereof, where this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of any
event, such notice shall be sufficiently given, and shall be deemed given, to
Holders if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder
affected by such event, at the address of such Holder as it appears in the
Security Register, not later than the latest date, if any, and not earlier than
the earliest date, if any, prescribed for the giving of such notice.

             In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by
reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to give such notice to
Holders by mail, then such notification as shall be made with the approval of
the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notification for every purpose
hereunder. In any case where notice to Holders is given by mail, neither the
failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any
particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to
other Holders.

             Any notice required by this Indenture may be waived in writing by
the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event
otherwise to be specified therein, 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 107. CONFLICT WITH TRUST INDENTURE ACT

             If (a) any provision of this Indenture limits, qualifies or
conflicts with another provision hereof which is required or deemed to be
included in this Indenture by, or is otherwise governed by, any of the
provisions of the Trust Indenture Act, such other provision shall control; and
(b) any provision hereof otherwise conflicts with the Trust Indenture Act, the
Trust Indenture Act shall control unless otherwise provided as contemplated by
Section 301 with respect to any series of Securities.

Contents are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.

SECTION 109. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS

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

                                       13

SECTION 110. SEPARABILITY CLAUSE

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

SECTION 111. BENEFITS OF INDENTURE

Securities, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties
hereto, their successors hereunder and the Holders and, so long as the notice

Indebtedness, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under

construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York (including
without limitation Section 5-1401 of the New York General Obligations Law or any

authorization by the Company of this Indenture and the Securities and corporate
existence of the Company will be governed by, and construed in accordance with,
the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Company is incorporated or formed.

SECTION 113. LEGAL HOLIDAYS

                  In any case where any Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date
or Stated Maturity of any Security shall not be a Business Day at any Place of
Payment, then (notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or of the
Securities, other than a provision in the Securities of any series, or any
Tranche thereof, or in the indenture supplemental hereto, Board Resolution or
the Officer's Certificate which establishes the terms of the Securities of such
series or Tranche, which specifically states that such provision shall apply in
lieu of this Section) payment of interest and Additional Amounts, if any, or
principal and premium, if any, need not be made at such Place of Payment on such
date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day at such Place of

SECTION 114. CONSENT TO JURISDICTION; APPOINTMENT OF AGENT FOR SERVICE; JUDGMENT
CURRENCY; WAIVER OF IMMUNITIES

             (a) Consent to Jurisdiction. The Company irrevocably consents to
       the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any court of the State of New York or
       any United States Federal court sitting, in each case, in the Borough of
       Manhattan, The City of New York, New York, United States of America, and
       any appellate court from any thereof in any suit, action or proceeding
       that may be brought in connection with this Indenture or the

                                       14

       Securities, and waives any immunity from the jurisdiction of such courts.
       The Company irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law,
       any objection to any such suit, action or proceeding that may be brought
       in such courts whether on the grounds of venue, residence or domicile or
       on the ground that any such suit, action or proceeding has been brought
       in an inconvenient forum. The Company agrees, to the fullest extent that
       it lawfully may do so, that final judgment in any such suit, action or
       proceeding brought in such a court shall be conclusive and binding upon
       the Company, and waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any
       objection to the enforcement by any competent court in the Jurisdiction
       of Incorporation of judgments validly obtained in any such court in New
       York on the basis of such suit, action or proceeding; provided, however,
       that the Company does not waive, and the foregoing provisions of this
       sentence shall not constitute or be deemed to constitute a waiver of, (i)
       any right to appeal any such judgment, to seek any stay or otherwise to
       seek reconsideration or review of any such judgment (ii) any stay of
       execution or levy pending an appeal from, or a suit, action or proceeding
       for reconsideration of, any such judgment, or (iii) any other right or
       remedy of the Company to the extent not expressly waived in accordance
       with this Section 114.

             (b) Appointment of Agent for Service. The Company has designated
       and appointed _________________________________________________________,
       as its authorized agent upon which process may be served in any suit or
       proceeding in any Federal or State court in the Borough of Manhattan, The
       City of New York arising out of or relating to the Securities or this
       Indenture, but for that purpose only, and agrees that service of process
       upon said agent shall be deemed in every respect effective service of
       process upon it in any such suit or proceeding in any Federal or State
       court in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York. Such appointment
       shall be irrevocable so long as any of the Securities remain Outstanding
       until the appointment of a successor by the Company and such successor's
       acceptance of such appointment. Upon such acceptance, the Company shall
       notify the Trustee of the name and address of such successor. The Company
       further agrees to take any and all action, including the execution and
       filing of any and all such documents and instruments, as may be necessary
       to continue such designation and appointment of said agent in full force
       and effect so long as any of the Securities shall be Outstanding. The
       Trustee shall not be obligated and shall have no responsibility with
       respect to any failure by the Company to take any such action.

             Nothing in this Section shall affect the right of the Trustee or
any Holder of any Security to serve process in any manner permitted by
applicable law or limit the right of the Trustee or any Holder of any Security
to bring proceedings against the Company in the courts of any other jurisdiction
or jurisdictions.

             (c) Judgment Currency. The Company agrees, to the fullest extent
       that it may effectively do so under applicable law, that (a) if for the
       purpose of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert the
       sum due in respect of the principal of, or premium or interest, if any,
       on the Securities of any series from the Required Currency into a
       currency in which a judgment will be rendered (the "Judgment Currency"),
       the rate of exchange used shall be the rate at which, in accordance with
       normal banking procedures, the Trustee could purchase the Required
       Currency with the Judgment Currency at the

                                       15

       date of payment and (b) its obligations under this Indenture to make
       payments in the Required Currency (i) shall not be discharged or
       satisfied by any tender, or any recovery pursuant to any judgment
       (whether or not entered in accordance with subsection (a)), in any
       currency other than the Required Currency, except to the extent that such
       tender or recovery shall result in the actual receipt, by the payee, of
       the full amount of the Required Currency expressed to be payable in
       respect of such payments, (ii) shall be enforceable as an alternative or
       additional cause of action for the purpose of recovering the amount, if
       any by which actual receipt shall fall short of the full amount of the
       Required Currency so expressed to be payable and (iii) shall not be
       affected by judgment being obtained for any other sum due under this
       Indenture.

             (d) Waiver of Immunities. To the extent that the Company or any of
       its properties, assets or revenues may have or may hereafter become
       entitled to, or have attributed to it, any right of immunity, on the
       grounds of sovereignty or otherwise, from legal action, suit or
       proceeding, from the giving of any relief in any thereof, from set-off or
       counterclaim, from the jurisdiction of any court, from service of
       process, from attachment upon or prior to judgment, from attachment in
       aid of execution of judgment, or from execution of judgment, or other
       legal process or proceeding for the giving of any relief or for the
       enforcement of any judgment, in any jurisdiction in which proceedings may
       at any time be commenced, with respect to its obligations, liabilities or
       any other matter under or arising out of or in connection with this
       Indenture or the Securities issued hereunder, the Company hereby
       irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim,
       any such immunity and consents to such relief and enforcement. Nothing in
       this paragraph shall be deemed to waive any defense (other than such
       immunity) available to the Company.

       electronic instructions from the Company or any agent or agents thereof,
       which oral instructions are to be promptly confirmed electronically or in
       writing), in either case in accordance with the instrument or instruments

              (c) the Securities of such series, each executed on behalf of the
       Company by an Authorized Officer;

              (d) Opinion or Opinions of Counsel to the effect that:

                    (i) the form or forms of such Securities have been duly
               authorized by the Company and have been established in conformity
               with the provisions of this Indenture;

                    (ii) the terms of such Securities have been duly authorized
               by the Company and have been established in conformity with the
               provisions of this Indenture; and

                    (iii) when such Securities shall have been authenticated and
               delivered by the Trustee and issued and delivered by the Company
               in the manner and subject to any conditions specified in such
               Opinion of Counsel, such Securities will have been duly issued
               under this Indenture and will constitute valid and legally
               binding obligations of the Company, entitled to the benefits
               provided by this Indenture, and enforceable in accordance with
               their terms, subject, as to enforcement, to laws relating to or
               affecting generally the enforcement of mortgagees' and other
               creditors' rights, including, without limitation, bankruptcy,
               insolvency, reorganization, receivership, moratorium and other
               laws affecting the rights and remedies of creditors and
               mortgagees' generally and general principles of equity
               (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a
               proceeding in equity or at law);

                                       22

provided, however, that, with respect to Securities of a series subject to a
Periodic Offering, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive such Opinion of
Counsel only once at or prior to the time of the first authentication of such
Securities (provided that such Opinion of Counsel addresses the authentication
and delivery of all Securities of such series) and that in lieu of the opinions
described in clauses (ii) and (iii) above Counsel may opine that:

                    (iv) when the terms of such Securities shall have been
               established pursuant to a Company Order or Orders or pursuant to
               such procedures (acceptable to the Trustee) as may be specified
               from time to time by a Company Order or Orders, all as
               contemplated by and in accordance with the instrument or
               instruments delivered pursuant to clause (a) above, such terms
               will have been duly authorized by the Company and will have been
               established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture;
               and

               (e) such Securities, when (1) executed by the Company, (2)
          authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in accordance with this
          Indenture, (3) issued and delivered by the Company and (4) paid for,
          all as contemplated by and in accordance with the aforesaid Company
          Order or Orders, as the case may be, will have been duly issued under
          this Indenture and will constitute valid and legally binding
          obligations of the Company, entitled to the benefits provided by the
          Indenture, and enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject, as
          to enforcement, to laws relating to or affecting generally the
          enforcement of mortgagees' and other creditors' rights, including,
          without limitation, bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
          receivership, moratorium and other laws affecting the rights and
          remedies of creditors and mortgagees' generally and general principles
          of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in
          a proceeding in equity or at law).

             With respect to Securities of a series subject to a Periodic
Offering, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the authorization by the
Company of any of such Securities, the form, terms thereof and the legality,
validity, binding effect and enforceability thereof, and compliance of the
authentication and delivery thereof with the terms and conditions of this
Indenture, upon the Opinion of Counsel and other documents delivered pursuant to
Sections 201 and 301 and this Section, as applicable, at or prior to the time of
the first authentication of Securities of such series unless and until such
opinion or other documents have been superseded or revoked or expire by their
terms. In connection with the authentication and delivery of Securities of a
series subject to a Periodic Offering, the Trustee shall be entitled to assume
that the Company's instructions to authenticate and deliver such Securities do
not violate any applicable law or any applicable rule, regulation or order of
any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Company.

             If the form or terms of the Securities of any series have been
established by or pursuant to a Board Resolution or an Officer's Certificate as
permitted by Sections 201 or 301, the Trustee shall not be required to
authenticate such Securities if the issuance of such Securities pursuant to this
Indenture will materially or adversely affect the Trustee's own rights, duties
or immunities under the Securities and this Indenture or otherwise in a manner
which is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee.

                                       23

             Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 with
respect to any series of Securities, or any Tranche thereof, each Security shall
be dated the date of its authentication.

             Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 with
respect to any series of Securities, or any Tranche thereof, no Security shall
be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for
any purpose unless there appears on such Security a certificate of
authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the
Trustee or an Authenticating Agent by manual signature, and such certificate
upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such
Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and is entitled to
the benefits of this Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Security
shall have been authenticated and delivered hereunder to the Company, or any
Person acting on its behalf, but shall never have been issued and sold by the
Company, and the Company shall deliver such Security to the Security Registrar
for cancellation as provided in Section 309 together with a written statement
(which need not comply with Section 102 and need not be accompanied by an
Officer's Certificate and 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 hereof.

SECTION 304. TEMPORARY SECURITIES

             Pending the preparation of definitive Securities of any series or
any Tranche thereof, the Company may execute, and upon a 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, with such appropriate insertions, omissions,
substitutions and other variations as the officers executing such Securities may
determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Securities; provided,
however, that temporary Securities need not recite specific redemption, sinking
fund, conversion or exchange provisions.

             Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 with
respect to the Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, after the
preparation of definitive Securities of such series or Tranche, the temporary
Securities of such series or Tranche shall be exchangeable, without charge to
the Holder thereof, for definitive Securities of such series or Tranche upon
surrender of such temporary Securities at the office or agency of the Company
maintained pursuant to Section 602 in a Place of Payment for such Securities.
Upon such surrender of temporary Securities for such exchange, the Company
shall, except as aforesaid, execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver in exchange therefor definitive Securities of the same series and
Tranche of authorized denominations and of like tenor and aggregate principal
amount.

             Until exchanged in full as hereinabove provided, temporary
Securities shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this
Indenture as definitive Securities of the same series and Tranche and of like
tenor authenticated and delivered hereunder.

                                       24

SECTION 305. REGISTRATION, REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE

             Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 with
respect to any series of Securities, the Company shall cause to be kept in one
of the offices designated pursuant to Section 602, with respect to the
Securities of each series, or any Tranche thereof, a register (the register kept
in accordance with this Section being referred to as the "Security Register") in
which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company
shall provide for the registration of Securities of such series or Tranche and
the registration of transfer thereof. The Company shall designate one Person to
maintain the Security Register for the Securities of each series on a
consolidated basis, and such Person is referred to herein, with respect to such
series, as the "Security Registrar." Anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, the Company may designate one or more of its offices or an
office of any Affiliate as an office in which a register with respect to the
Securities of one or more series, or any Tranche or Tranches thereof, shall be
maintained, and the Company may designate itself or any Affiliate the Security
Registrar with respect to one or more of such series. The Security Register
shall be open for inspection by the Trustee and the Company at all reasonable
times.

             Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 with
respect to the Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, upon surrender
for registration of transfer of any Security of such series or Tranche at the
office or agency of the Company maintained pursuant to Section 602 in a Place of
Payment for such series or Tranche, 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 and Tranche, of
authorized denominations and of like tenor and aggregate principal amount.

             Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 with
respect to the Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, any Security of
such series or Tranche may be exchanged at the option of the Holder, for one or
more new Securities of the same series and Tranche, of authorized denominations
and of like tenor and aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the
Securities to be exchanged at any such office or agency. Whenever any Securities
are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee
shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities which the Holder making the
exchange is entitled to receive.

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

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

             Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, with
respect to Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, no service charge
shall be made for any

                                       25

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 304, 406 or 1205 not
involving any transfer.

             Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, with
respect to Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, the Company shall
not be required to execute or to provide for the registration of transfer of or
the exchange of (a) Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, during a
period of 15 days immediately preceding the date notice is to be given
identifying the serial numbers of the Securities of such series or Tranche
called for redemption or (b) any Security so selected for redemption in whole or
in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part.

             Each Global Security authenticated under this Indenture shall be
registered in the name of the Depositary designated for such Global Security or
a nominee thereof and delivered to such Depositary or a custodian therefor, and
each such Global Security shall constitute a single Security for all purposes of
this Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as otherwise specified as
contemplated by Section 301, no Global Security shall be registered for transfer
or exchange, or authenticated or delivered, pursuant to this Section 305 or
Sections 304, 306, 1206 or 406 in the name of a Person other than the Depositary
for such Security or its nominee until (i) the Depositary with respect to a
Global Security notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue
as Depositary for such Global Security or the Depositary ceases to be a clearing
agency registered under the Exchange Act and, in either such event, the Company
notifies the Trustee that it is unable to appoint a successor Depositary within
90 days of any such event, (ii) the Company executes and delivers to the Trustee
a Company Order that such Global Security shall be so transferable and
exchangeable or (iii) there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of
Default with respect to the Securities of such series. Upon the occurrence in
respect of any Global Security of any series of any one or more of the
conditions specified in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of the preceding sentence or
such other conditions as may be specified as contemplated by Section 301 for
such series, such Global Security may be registered for transfer or exchange for
Securities registered in the names of, or authenticated and delivered to, such
Persons as the Depositary with respect to such series shall direct.

             Except as provided in the preceding paragraph, any Security
authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange
for, or in lieu of, any Global Security or any portion thereof, whether pursuant
to this Section, Section 304, 306, 1206 or 406 or otherwise, shall also be a
Global Security and bear the legend specified in Section 202. Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Indenture, a Global Security may not be transferred
except as a whole by the Depositary for such Global Security to a nominee of
such Depositary or to another Depositary or a nominee thereof or by a nominee of
such Depositary to such Depositary or another nominee of such Depositary or to
another Depositary or a nominee thereof.

SECTION 306. MUTILATED, DESTROYED, LOST AND STOLEN SECURITIES

             If any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Security Registrar,
the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in
exchange therefor a new Security

                                       26

of the same series and Tranche, and of like tenor and principal amount and
bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

             If there shall be delivered to the Company and the Trustee (a)
evidence to their satisfaction of the ownership of and the destruction, loss or
theft of any Security and (b) such security or indemnity as may be reasonably
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
is held by a Person purporting to be the owner of such Security, the Company
shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any
such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new Security of the same series and
Tranche, and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not
contemporaneously outstanding.

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

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

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

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

SECTION 307. PAYMENT OF INTEREST; INTEREST RIGHTS PRESERVED

             Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 with
respect to the Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, interest on any
Security which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any
Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Security
(or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business
on the Regular Record Date for such interest.

             Subject to Section 311, any interest on any Security of any series
which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any
Interest Payment Date (herein called "Defaulted Interest") shall forthwith cease
to be payable to the Holder on the related Regular Record Date by virtue of
having been such Holder, and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company,
at its election in each case, as provided in clause (a) or (b) below:

          (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

                                       27

     Securities) are registered at the close of business on a date (herein
     called a "Special Record Date") for the payment of such Defaulted Interest,
     which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the
     Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid
     on each Security of such series and the date of the proposed payment, and
     at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of
     money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such
     Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee
     for such deposit 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 promptly 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 the address of such Holder as it appears in
     the Security Register, not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record
     Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the
     Special Record Date therefor having been so mailed, such Defaulted Interest
     shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Securities of such series
     (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of
     business on such Special Record Date.

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

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

SECTION 308.      PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS

                  Prior to due presentment of a Security for registration of
transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee
may treat the Person in whose name such Security is registered as the absolute
owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and
premium, if any, and (subject to Sections 305 and 307) interest, if any, on such
Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security be
overdue, and none of the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the
Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

                  Members of, or participants in, the Depositary
("Participants") shall have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any
Global Securities held on their behalf of the

                                       28

Depositary, or the Trustee as its custodian, or under the Global Securities, and
the Depositary may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the
Company or the Trustee as the absolute owner of Global Security for all purposes
whatsoever. None of the Company, the Trustee, any Paying Agent, any Security
Registrar or any other agent of the Company or any agent of the Trustee shall
have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to
or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests of a Security in
the form of a Global Security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any
records relating to such beneficial ownership interests. The Company, the
Trustee, any Paying Agent and any Security Registrar and any other agent of the
Company and any agent of the Trustee shall be entitled to deal with any
depositary (including any Depositary), and any nominee thereof, that is the
Holder of any such Global Security for all purposes of this Indenture relating
to such Global Security (including the payment of principal, premium, if any,
and interest and Additional Amounts, if any, and the giving of instructions or
directions by or to the owner or holder of a beneficial ownership interest in
such Global Security) as the sole Holder of such Global Security and shall have
no obligations to the beneficial owners thereof. None of the Company, the
Trustee, any Paying Agent, any Security Registrar or any other agent of the
Company or any agent of the Trustee shall have any responsibility or liability
for any acts or omissions of any such depositary with respect to such Global
Security, for the records of any such depositary, including records in respect
of beneficial ownership interests in respect of any such Global Security, for
any transactions between such depositary and any participant in such depositary
or between or among any such depositary, any such participant and/or any holder
or owner of a beneficial interest in such Global Security or for any transfers
of beneficial interests in any such Global Security.

                  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, 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 as a Holder of
such Global Security.

SECTION 309.      CANCELLATION BY SECURITY REGISTRAR

                  All Securities surrendered for payment, redemption,
registration of transfer or exchange shall, if surrendered to any Person other
than the Security Registrar, be delivered to the Security Registrar and, if not
theretofore canceled, shall be promptly canceled by the Security Registrar. The
Company may at any time deliver to the Security Registrar for cancellation any
Securities previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company
may have acquired in any manner whatsoever or which the Company shall not have
issued and sold, and all Securities so delivered shall be promptly canceled by
the Security Registrar. No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in
exchange for any Securities canceled as provided in this Section, except as
expressly permitted by this Indenture. All canceled Securities held by the
Security Registrar shall be disposed of in accordance with the customary
practices of the Security Registrar at the time in effect, and the Security
Registrar shall not be required to destroy any such certificates. The Security
Registrar shall promptly deliver a certificate of disposition to the Trustee and
the Company unless, by a Company Order, delivered to the Security Registrar and

                                       29

Trustee, the Company shall direct that canceled Securities be returned to it.
The Security Registrar shall promptly deliver evidence of any cancellation of a
Security in accordance with this Section 309 to the Trustee and the Company.

SECTION 310.      COMPUTATION OF INTEREST

                  Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301
for Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, interest on the Securities
of each series shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of
twelve 30-day months and for any period shorter than a full month on the basis
of the actual number of days elapsed within any such period.

SECTION 311.      EXTENSION OF INTEREST PAYMENT, DEFERRAL OF INTEREST PAYMENT

                  The Company shall have the right at any time, so long as no
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the
Securities of any series hereunder, to extend interest payment periods or to
defer the payment of interest on all Securities of one or more series, or
Tranches thereof, if so specified as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to
such Securities and upon such terms as may be specified as contemplated by
Section 301 with respect to such Securities.

SECTION 310.      PAYMENT TO BE IN PROPER CURRENCY

                  In the case of the Securities of any series, or any Tranche
thereof, denominated in any currency other than Dollars or in a composite
currency (the "Required Currency"), except as otherwise specified with respect
to such Securities as contemplated by Section 301, the obligation of the Company
to make any payment of the principal thereof, or the premium or interest
thereon, shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender by the Company, or
recovery by the Trustee, in any currency other than the Required Currency,
except to the extent that such tender or recovery shall result in the Trustee
timely holding the full amount of the Required Currency then due and payable. If
any such tender or recovery is in a currency other than the Required Currency,
the Trustee may take such actions as it considers appropriate to exchange such
currency for the Required Currency. The costs and risks of any such exchange,
including without limitation the risks of delay and exchange rate fluctuation,
shall be borne by the Company, the Company shall remain fully liable for any
shortfall or delinquency in the full amount of Required Currency then due and
payable, and in no circumstances shall the Trustee be liable therefor except in
the case of its negligence or willful misconduct.

                                  ARTICLE FOUR

                            REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES

SECTION 310.      APPLICABILITY OF ARTICLE

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

                                       30

SECTION 402.      ELECTION TO REDEEM; NOTICE TO TRUSTEE

                  The election of the Company to redeem any Securities shall be
evidenced by an Officer's Certificate. The Company shall, at least 45 days prior
to the Redemption Date fixed by the Company (unless a shorter notice shall be
satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the Trustee in writing of such Redemption
Date and of the principal amount of such Securities to be redeemed. In the case
of any redemption of Securities (a) prior to the expiration of any restriction
on such redemption provided in the terms of such Securities or elsewhere in this
Indenture or (b) pursuant to an election of the Company which is subject to a
restriction or condition specified in the terms of such Securities, the Company
shall furnish the Trustee with an Officer's Certificate evidencing compliance
with such restriction or condition.

SECTION 403.      SELECTION OF SECURITIES TO BE REDEEMED

                  If less than all the Securities of any series, or any Tranche
thereof, are to be redeemed, the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be
selected by the Trustee from the Outstanding Securities of such series or
Tranche not previously called for redemption, by such method as shall be
provided for any particular series or Tranche, or, in the absence of any such
provision, by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate and
which may, in any case, provide for the selection for redemption of portions
(equal to the minimum authorized denomination for Securities of such series or
Tranche or any integral multiple thereof) of the principal amount of Securities
of such series or Tranche of a denomination larger than the minimum authorized
denomination for Securities of such series or Tranche; provided, however, that
if, as indicated in an Officer's Certificate, the Company shall have offered to
purchase all or any principal amount of the Securities then Outstanding of any
series, or any Tranche thereof, and less than all of such Securities as to which
such offer was made shall have been tendered to the Company for such purchase,
the Trustee, if so directed by Company Order, shall select for redemption all or
any principal amount of such Securities which have not been so tendered.

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

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

SECTION 404.      NOTICE OF REDEMPTION

                  Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301
for Securities of any series, notice of redemption shall be given in the manner
provided in Section 106 to the Holders of the Securities to be redeemed not less
than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date.

                  Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301
for Securities of any series, all notices of redemption shall state:

                                       31

                  (a) the Redemption Date,

                  (b) the Redemption Price (if known) or the formula pursuant to
         which the Redemption Price is to be determined if the Redemption Price
         cannot be determined at the time the notice is given,

                  (c) if less than all the Securities of any series or Tranche
         are to be redeemed, the identification of the particular Securities to
         be redeemed and the portion of the principal amount of any Security to
         be redeemed in part,

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

                  (e) the place or places where such Securities are to be
         surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest,
         if any, and Additional Amounts, if any, unless it shall have been
         specified as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to such
         Securities that such surrender shall not be required,

                  (f) that the redemption is for a sinking or other fund, if
         such is the case,

                  (g) the CUSIP, ISIN or other similar numbers, if any, assigned
         to such Securities; provided, however, that such notice may state that
         no representation is made as to the correctness of CUSIP, ISIN or other
         similar numbers, in which case none of the Company, the Trustee or any
         agent of the Company or the Trustee shall have any liability in respect
         of the use of any CUSIP, ISIN or other similar number or numbers on
         such notices, and the redemption of such Securities shall not be
         affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers, and

                  (h) such other matters as the Company shall deem desirable or
         appropriate.

                  Unless otherwise specified with respect to any Securities in
accordance with Section 301, with respect to any notice of redemption of
Securities at the election of the Company, unless, upon the giving of such
notice, such Securities shall be deemed to have been paid in accordance with
Section 701, such notice may state that such redemption shall be conditional
upon the receipt by the Paying Agent or Agents for such Securities, on or prior
to the date fixed for such redemption, of money sufficient to pay the principal
of and premium, if any, and interest, if any, and Additional Amounts, if any, on
such Securities and that if such money shall not have been so received such
notice shall be of no force or effect and the Company shall not be required to
redeem such Securities. In the event that such notice of redemption contains
such a condition and such money is not so received, the redemption shall not be
made and within a reasonable time thereafter notice shall be given, in the
manner in which the notice of redemption was given, that such money was not so
received and such redemption was not required to be made, and the Paying Agent
or Agents for the Securities otherwise to have been redeemed shall promptly
return to the Holders thereof any of such Securities which had been surrendered
for payment upon such redemption.

                                       32

                  Notice of redemption of Securities to be redeemed at the
election of the Company, and any notice of non-satisfaction of a condition for
redemption as aforesaid, shall be given by the Company or, at the Company's
request, by the Security Registrar in the name and at the expense of the
Company. Notice of any mandatory redemption of Securities shall be given by the
Security Registrar in the name and at the expense of the Company.

SECTION 405.      SECURITIES PAYABLE ON REDEMPTION DATE

                  Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, and the
conditions, if any, set forth in such notice having been satisfied, the
Securities or portions thereof so to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date,
become due and payable at the Redemption Price therein specified, and from and
after such date (unless, in the case of an unconditional notice of redemption,
the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued
interest and Additional Amounts, if any) such Securities or portions thereof, if
interest-bearing, shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any such
Security for redemption in accordance with such notice, such Security or portion
thereof shall be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price, together with
accrued interest and Additional Amounts, if any, to the Redemption Date;
provided, however, that no such surrender shall be a condition to such payment
if so specified as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to such Security;
and provided, further, that except as otherwise specified as contemplated by
Section 301 with respect to such Security, any installment of interest on any
Security the Stated Maturity of which installment is on or prior to the
Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holder of such Security, or one or more
Predecessor Securities, registered as such at the close of business on the
related Regular Record Date according to the terms of such Security and subject
to the provisions of Section 307.

SECTION 406.      SECURITIES REDEEMED IN PART

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

                                  ARTICLE FIVE

                                  SINKING FUNDS

SECTION 501.      APPLICABILITY OF ARTICLE

                  The provisions of this Article shall be applicable to any
sinking fund for the retirement of the Securities of any series, or any Tranche
thereof, except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for
Securities of such series or Tranche.

                                       33

                  The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by
the terms of Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, is herein
referred to as a "mandatory sinking fund payment", and any payment in excess of
such minimum amount provided for by the terms of Securities of any series, or
any Tranche thereof, is herein referred to as an "optional sinking fund
payment". If provided for by the terms of Securities of any series, or any
Tranche thereof, the cash amount of any sinking fund payment may be subject to
reduction as provided in Section 502. Each sinking fund payment shall be applied
to the redemption of Securities of the series or Tranche in respect of which it
was made as provided for by the terms of such Securities.

SECTION 502.      SATISFACTION OF SINKING FUND PAYMENTS WITH SECURITIES

                  The Company (a) may deliver to the Trustee Outstanding
Securities (other than any previously called for redemption) of a series or
Tranche in respect of which a mandatory sinking fund payment is to be made and
(b) may apply as a credit Securities of such series or Tranche which have been
(i) 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 or (ii) repurchased by the
Company in the open market, by tender offer, in the open market or by private
agreement, or otherwise, in each case in satisfaction of all or any part of such
mandatory sinking fund payment with respect to the Securities of such series or
Tranche; provided, however, that no Securities shall be applied in satisfaction
of a mandatory sinking fund payment if such Securities shall have been
previously so applied. Securities so applied shall be received and credited for
such purpose by the Trustee at the Redemption Price specified in such Securities
for redemption through operation of the sinking fund and the amount of such
mandatory sinking fund payment shall be reduced accordingly.

SECTION 503.      REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES FOR SINKING FUND

                  Not less than 45 days prior to each sinking fund payment date
for the Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, the Company shall
deliver to the Trustee an Officer's Certificate specifying:

                  (a) the amount of the next succeeding mandatory sinking fund
         payment for such series or Tranche;

                  (b) the amount, if any, of the optional sinking fund payment
         to be made together with such mandatory sinking fund payment;

                  (c) the aggregate sinking fund payment;

                  (d) the portion, if any, of such aggregate sinking fund
         payment which is to be satisfied by the payment of cash; and

                  (e) the portion, if any, of such aggregate sinking fund
         payment which is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting Securities
         of such series or Tranche pursuant to Section 502 and stating the basis
         for such credit and that such Securities have not previously been so
         credited, and the Company shall also deliver to the Trustee any
         Securities to be so delivered.

                                       34

                  If the Company shall have not delivered such Officer's
Certificate and, to the extent applicable, all such Securities, the next
succeeding sinking fund payment for such series or Tranche shall be made
entirely in cash in the amount of the mandatory sinking fund payment. 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 403 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 404. Such notice having been duly given, the redemption of such
Securities shall be made upon the terms and in the manner stated in Sections 405
and 406.

                                  ARTICLE SIX

                                   COVENANTS

SECTION 601.      PAYMENT OF PRINCIPAL, PREMIUM AND INTEREST

                  The Company shall pay the principal of and premium, interest
and Additional Amounts, if any, on the Securities of each series in accordance
with the terms of such Securities and this Indenture.

SECTION 602.      MAINTENANCE OF OFFICE OR AGENCY

                  The Company shall maintain in each Place of Payment for the
Securities of each series, or any Tranche thereof, an office or agency where
payment of such Securities shall be made, where the registration of transfer or
exchange of such Securities may be effected and where notices and demands to or
upon the Company in respect of such Securities and this Indenture may be served.
The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and
any change in the location, of each such office or agency and prompt notice to
the Holders of any such change in the manner specified in Section 106. If at any
time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency in
respect of Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, or shall fail to
furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, payment of such Securities shall
be made, registration of transfer or exchange thereof may be effected and
notices and demands in respect thereof may be served at the Corporate Trust
Office of the Trustee, and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent
for all such purposes in any such event.

                  The Company may also from time to time designate one or more
other offices or agencies with respect to the Securities of one or more series,
or any Tranche thereof, for any or all of the foregoing purposes and may from
time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that, unless
otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to the
Securities of such series or Tranche, no such designation or rescission shall in
any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency
for such purposes in each Place of Payment for such Securities in accordance
with the requirements set forth above. The Company shall give prompt written
notice to the Trustee, and prompt notice to the Holders in the manner specified
in Section 106, of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the
location of any such other office or agency.

                                       35

                  Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, unless
otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for the Securities of any
series, any office or agency required by this Section may be maintained at an
office of the Company or an Affiliate of the Company, in which event the Company
or such Affiliate, as the case may be, shall perform all functions to be
performed at such office or agency.

SECTION 603.      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 the Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, it shall,
on or before each due date of the principal of or premium, interest or
Additional Amounts, if any, on any of such Securities, segregate and hold in
trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a sum sufficient to pay
the principal, premium, interest or Additional Amounts so becoming due until
such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein
provided. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee of any failure by the
Company (or any other obligor on such Securities) to make any payment of
principal of or premium, interest or Additional Amounts, if any, on such
Securities.

                  Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents for
the Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, it shall, on or before
each due date of the principal of or premium, interest or Additional Amounts, if
any, on such Securities, deposit with such Paying Agents sums sufficient
(without duplication) to pay the principal, premium, interest or Additional
Amounts so becoming due, such sums to be held in trust for the benefit of the
Persons entitled to such principal, premium, interest or Additional Amounts, and
(unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company shall promptly notify the
Trustee of any failure by it so to act.

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

                  (a) hold all sums held by it for the payment of the principal
         of or premium, interest or Additional Amounts, if any, on such
         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 failure by the Company (or
         any other obligor upon such Securities) to make any payment of
         principal of or premium, interest or Additional Amounts, if any, on
         such Securities; and

                  (c) at any time during the continuance of any such failure,
         upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee
         all sums so held in trust by such Paying Agent and furnish to the
         Trustee such information as it possesses regarding the names and
         addresses of the Persons entitled to such sums.

                  The Company may at any time pay, or by Company Order direct
any Paying Agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Company or
such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same trusts as
those upon which such sums were held by

                                       36

the Company or such Paying Agent and, if so stated in a Company Order delivered
to the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of Article Seven; and, upon
such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be
released from all further liability with respect to such money.

                  Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or
then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of and
premium, interest or Additional Amounts, if any, on any Security and remaining
unclaimed for two years after such principal or premium, interest or Additional
Amounts, if any, have become due and payable shall to the extent permitted by
law be paid to the Company on Company Request, or, if then held by the Company,
shall be discharged from such trust; and, upon such payment or discharge, the
Holder of such Security shall, as an unsecured general creditor and not as the
Holder of an Outstanding Security, look only to the Company for payment of the
amount so due and payable and remaining unpaid unless the applicable law
provides otherwise, 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 payment to the Company, may
at the expense of the Company cause to be mailed, on one occasion only, notice
to such Holder that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date
specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such
mailing, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be paid to the
Company.

SECTION 604.      CORPORATE EXISTENCE

                  Subject to the rights of the Company under Article Eleven, the
Company shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep
in full force and effect its existence as a corporation.

SECTION 605.      MAINTENANCE OF PROPERTIES

                  The Company shall cause (or, with respect to property owned in
common with others, make reasonable effort to cause) all of its properties used
or useful in the conduct of its business to be maintained and kept in good
condition, repair and working order and shall cause (or, with respect to
property owned in common with others, make reasonable effort to 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 conducted; provided,
however, that nothing in this Section shall prevent the Company from
discontinuing, or causing the discontinuance of, the operation and maintenance
of any of its properties if such discontinuance is, in the judgment of the
Company, desirable in the conduct of its business.

SECTION 606.      ANNUAL OFFICER'S CERTIFICATE AS TO COMPLIANCE.

                  Not later than  _______ __ in each year, commencing _______ _,
____, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer's Certificate, which
need not comply with Section 102, executed by the principal executive officer,
the principal financial officer or the principal accounting officer of the
Company, as to such officer's knowledge of the Company's

                                       37

compliance with all conditions and covenants under this Indenture, such
compliance to be determined without regard to any period of grace or requirement
of notice under this Indenture, and if the Company shall be in default,
specifying all such defaults and the nature and status thereof of which they may
have knowledge, and otherwise complying with the provisions of Section 314(a)(4)
of the Trust Indenture Act.

SECTION 607.      WAIVER OF CERTAIN COVENANTS

                  The Company may omit in any particular instance to comply with
any term, provision or condition set forth in (a) Section 602 or any additional
covenant or restriction specified with respect to the Securities of any series,
or any Tranche thereof, as contemplated by Section 301 or by clause (c) of
Section 1201, if before the time for such compliance the Holders of a majority
in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of all series and
Tranches with respect to which compliance with Section 602 or such additional
covenant or restriction is to be omitted, considered as one class, shall, by Act
of such Holders, either waive such compliance in such instance or generally
waive compliance with such term, provision or condition and (b) Section 605 or
Article Eleven if before the time for such compliance the Holders of a majority
in aggregate principal amount of Securities Outstanding under this Indenture
shall, by Act of such Holders, either waive such compliance in such instance or
generally waive compliance with such term, provision or condition; but, in the
case of (a) or (b), no such waiver shall extend to or affect such term,
provision or condition except to the extent so expressly waived, and, until such
waiver shall become effective, the obligations of the Company and the duties of
the Trustee in respect of any such term, provision or condition shall remain in
full force and effect.

SECTION 608.      CALCULATION OF ORIGINAL ISSUE DISCOUNT.

                  The Company shall file with the Trustee as promptly as
possible after the end of each calendar year (i) a written notice specifying the
amount of original issue discount (including daily rates and accrual periods)
accrued on Outstanding Securities as of the end of such year and (ii) such other
specific information relating to such original issue discount as may then be
relevant under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time.

SECTION 701.      DEFEASANCE

                  Any Security or Securities, or any portion of the principal
amount thereof, shall be deemed to have been paid for all purposes of this
Indenture, and the entire indebtedness of the Company in respect thereof shall
be deemed to have been satisfied and discharged, if there shall have been
irrevocably deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent (other than the
Company), in trust:

                  (a) money in an amount which shall be sufficient, or

                                       38

                  (b) in the case of a deposit made prior to the Maturity of
         such Securities or portions thereof, Eligible Obligations, which shall
         not contain provisions permitting the redemption or other prepayment
         thereof at the option of the issuer thereof, the principal of and the

         will provide moneys which, together with the money, if any, deposited
         with or held by the Trustee or such Paying Agent, shall be sufficient,
         or

                  (c) a combination of (a) or (b) which shall be sufficient,

to pay when due the principal of and premium, interest and Additional Amounts,
if any, due and to become due on such Securities or portions thereof on or
prior to Maturity; provided, however, that in the case of the provision for
payment or redemption of less than all the Securities of any series or Tranche,

Registrar as provided herein and, in the case of a redemption, the notice
requisite to the validity of such redemption shall have been given or
irrevocable authority shall have been given by the Company to the Trustee to
give such notice, under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee; and provided,

provided in Section 703; and

                      (y) if Eligible Obligations shall have been deposited, an
Opinion of Counsel that the obligations so deposited constitute Eligible
Obligations and do not contain provisions permitting the redemption or other
prepayment at the option of the issuer thereof, and an opinion of an independent
public accountant of nationally recognized standing, selected by the Company, to
the effect that the requirements set forth in clause (b) above have been
satisfied; and

                      (z) if such deposit shall have been made prior to the
Maturity of such Securities, an Officer's Certificate stating the Company's
intention that, upon delivery of such Officer's Certificate, its indebtedness in
respect of such Securities or portions thereof will have been satisfied and

acknowledge in writing that the Security or Securities or portions thereof with
respect to which such deposit was made are deemed to have been paid for all
purposes of this Indenture and that the entire indebtedness of the Company in
respect thereof has been satisfied and discharged as contemplated in this
Section. In the event that all of the conditions set forth in the preceding
paragraph shall have been satisfied in respect of any Securities or portions
thereof except that, for any reason, the Officer's Certificate specified in
clause (z), shall not have been delivered, such Securities or portions thereof
shall nevertheless be deemed to have been paid for all purposes of this
Indenture, and the Holders of such Securities or portions thereof shall
nevertheless be no longer entitled to the benefits of this Indenture or of any
of the covenants of the Company under Article Six (except the covenants
contained in Sections 602 and 603) or any other covenants made in respect of
such Securities or portions thereof as

                                       39

contemplated by Section 301 or Section 1201(c), but the indebtedness of the
Company in respect of such Securities or portions thereof shall not be deemed to
have been satisfied and discharged prior to Maturity for any other purpose, and
the Holders of such Securities or portions thereof shall continue to be entitled
to look to the Company for payment of the indebtedness represented thereby; and,
upon Company Request, the Trustee shall acknowledge in writing that such
Securities or portions thereof are deemed to have been paid for all purposes of
this Indenture.

                  If payment at Stated Maturity of less than all of the
Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, is to be provided for in the
manner and with the effect provided in this Section, the Security Registrar
shall select such Securities, or portions of principal amount thereof, in the
manner specified by Section 403 for selection for redemption of less than all
the Securities of a series or Tranche.

                  In the event that Securities which shall be deemed to have
been paid for purposes of this Indenture, and, if such is the case, in respect
of which the Company's indebtedness shall have been satisfied and discharged,
all as provided in this Section do not mature and are not to be redeemed within
the 60 day period commencing with the date of the deposit of moneys or Eligible
Obligations, as aforesaid, the Company shall, as promptly as practicable, give a
notice, in the same manner as a notice of redemption with respect to such
Securities, to the Holders of such Securities to the effect that such deposit
has been made and the effect thereof.

                  Notwithstanding that any Securities shall be deemed to have
been paid for purposes of this Indenture, as aforesaid, the obligations of the
Company and the Trustee in respect of such Securities under Sections 304, 305,
306, 404, 503 (as to notice of redemption), 602, 603, 907, 909, 910 and 915 and
this Article Seven shall survive.

                  The Company shall pay, and shall indemnify the Trustee or any
Paying Agent with which Eligible Obligations shall have been deposited as
provided in this Section against, any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or
assessed against such Eligible Obligations or the principal or interest received
in respect of such Eligible Obligations, including, but not limited to, any such
tax payable by any entity deemed, for tax purposes, to have been created as a
result of such deposit.

                  Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (a) if, at
any time after a Security would be deemed to have been paid for purposes of this
Indenture, and, if such is the case, the Company's indebtedness in respect
thereof would be deemed to have been satisfied or discharged, pursuant to this
Section (without regard to the provisions of this paragraph), the Trustee or any
Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall be required to return the money or
Eligible Obligations, or combination thereof, deposited with it as aforesaid to
the Company or its representative under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or
other similar law, such Security shall thereupon be deemed retroactively not to
have been paid and any satisfaction and discharge of the Company's indebtedness
in respect thereof shall retroactively be deemed not to have been effected, and
such Security shall be deemed to remain Outstanding and (b) any satisfaction and
discharge of the Company's indebtedness in respect of any Security shall be
subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 603.

                                       40

SECTION 702.      SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE

                  This Indenture shall upon Company Request cease to be of
further effect (except as hereinafter expressly provided), and the Trustee, at
the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, when

                  (a) no Securities remain Outstanding hereunder; and

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

provided, however, that if, in accordance with the last paragraph of Section
701, any Security, previously deemed to have been paid for purposes of this
Indenture, shall be deemed retroactively not to have been so paid, this
Indenture shall thereupon be deemed retroactively not to have been satisfied
and discharged, as aforesaid, and to remain in full force and effect, and the
Company shall execute and deliver such instruments as the Trustee shall
reasonably request to evidence and acknowledge the same.

                  Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this
Indenture as aforesaid, the obligations of the Company and the Trustee under
Sections 304, 305, 306, 404, 503 (as to notice of redemption), 602, 603, 907,
909, 910 and 915 and this Article Seven shall survive.

                  Upon satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture as provided
in this Section, the Trustee shall upon Company Request, assign, transfer and
turn over to the Company, subject to the lien provided by Section 907, any and
all money, securities and other property then held by the Trustee for the
benefit of the Holders of the Securities other than money and Eligible
Obligations held by the Trustee pursuant to Section 703 and shall execute and
deliver to the Company such instruments as, in the judgment of the Company,
shall be necessary, desirable or appropriate to effect or evidence the
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

SECTION 703.      APPLICATION OF TRUST MONEY

                  Neither the Eligible Obligations nor the money deposited
pursuant to Section 701, nor the principal or interest payments on any such
Eligible Obligations, shall be withdrawn or used for any purpose other than, and
shall be held in trust for, the payment of the principal of and premium,
interest and Additional Amounts, if any, on the Securities or portions of
principal amount thereof in respect of which such deposit was made, all subject,
however, to the provisions of Section 603; provided, however, that, so long as
there shall not have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default, any cash
received from such principal or interest payments on such Eligible Obligations,
if not then needed for such purpose, shall, to the extent practicable, and upon
Company Request, be invested in Eligible Obligations of the type described in
clause (b) in the first paragraph of Section 701 maturing at such times and in
such amounts as shall be sufficient together with any other moneys and the
principal and interest on any other Eligible Obligations then held by the
Trustee to pay when due the principal of and premium, if any, and interest and
Additional Amounts, if any, due and to become due on such Securities or portions
thereof on and prior to the Maturity thereof, and interest earned from such
reinvestment shall be paid over to the Company as received, free and clear of
any trust, lien or pledge under this Indenture except the lien provided by
Section 907; and provided, further, that, so long as there

                                       41

shall not have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default, any moneys held
in accordance with this Section on the Maturity of all such Securities in excess
of the amount required to pay the principal of and premium, interest and
Additional Amounts, if any, then due on such Securities shall, upon Company
Request, be paid over to the Company free and clear of any trust, lien or pledge
under this Indenture except the lien provided by Section 907; and provided,
further, that if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
moneys to be paid over to the Company pursuant to this Section shall be held
until such Event of Default shall have been waived or cured.

                                 ARTICLE EIGHT

                          EVENTS OF DEFAULT; REMEDIES

                  (c) default in the performance or breach of any covenant or
         warranty contained in the Securities of such series or in this

         specifically dealt with or which has expressly been included in this
         Indenture solely for the benefit of one or more series of Securities
         other than that series), and continuance of such default or breach for

         Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the
         Outstanding Securities of that series, a written notice specifying such
         default or breach and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such

         foreign bankruptcy, liquidation, insolvency, reorganization or

                                       42

         other similar law or (B) a decree or order (1) adjudging the Company a
         bankrupt or insolvent, (2) approving as properly filed a petition
         seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition of or in
         respect of the Company under any applicable federal, state or foreign
         law, (3) appointing a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee,
         trustee, sequestrator or other similar official of the Company or of
         any substantial part of its property or (4) ordering the winding up or

         order for relief or any such other decree or order unstayed and in
         effect for a period of 90 consecutive days;

                  (e) the commencement by the Company of a voluntary case or
         proceeding under any applicable federal, state or foreign bankruptcy,
         liquidation, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or of any
         other case or proceeding to be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or
         the consent by it to the entry of a decree or order for relief in
         respect of the Company in an involuntary case or proceeding under any
         applicable federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, liquidation,
         insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or to the commencement
         of any bankruptcy or insolvency case or proceeding against it, or the
         filing by it of a petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization
         or relief under any applicable federal, state or foreign law, or the
         consent by it to the filing of such petition or to the appointment of
         or taking possession by a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee,
         trustee, sequestrator or similar official of the Company or of any
         substantial part of its property, or the making by it of an assignment
         for the benefit of creditors; or

                  (f) any other Event of Default provided with respect to
         Securities of such series in the supplemental indenture or Board
         Resolution, or Officer's Certificate pursuant to either thereof,
         establishing such series.

SECTION 802.      DECLARATION OF ACCELERATION; RESCISSION AND ANNULMENT

                  If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing with respect
to the Securities of any series, then and in each and every such case, unless
the principal of all Securities of such series shall have already become due and
payable, either the Trustee for such series or the Holders of not less than 25%
in aggregate principal amount at maturity of the Securities of such series then
Outstanding, by notice in writing to the Company and to the Trustee if given by
such Holders, may declare the principal of all the Securities of such series to
be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall
become and shall be immediately due and payable.

                  At any time after such a declaration of acceleration with
respect to Securities of any series shall have been made and before a judgment
or decree for payment of the money due shall have been obtained by the Trustee
as hereinafter in this Article provided, the Event of Default or Events of
Default giving rise to such declaration of acceleration shall, without further
act, be deemed to have been waived, and such declaration and its consequences
shall, without further act, be deemed to have been rescinded and annulled, if

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

                                       43

                      (1) all overdue interest on, or Additional Amounts, if
                  any, with respect to all Securities of such series;

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

                      (3) to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful,
                  interest upon overdue interest, if any, or upon Additional
                  Amounts, if any, at the rate or rates prescribed therefor
                  herein or in such Securities;

                      (4) all amounts due to the Trustee under Section 907;

                      and

                  (b) any other Event of Default or Events of Default with
         respect to Securities of such series, other than the nonpayment of the
         principal of Securities of such series which shall have become due
         solely by such declaration of acceleration, shall have been cured or
         waived as provided in Section 813.

No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Event of Default or impair any
right consequent thereon.

SECTION 803.      COLLECTION OF INDEBTEDNESS AND SUITS FOR ENFORCEMENT BY
                  TRUSTEE

                  If an Event of Default described in clause (a) or (b) of
Section 801 shall have occurred and be continuing, the Company shall, upon
demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders of the
Securities of the series with respect to which such Event of Default shall have
occurred, the whole amount then due and payable on such Securities for principal
and premium, interest and Additional Amounts, if any, and, to the extent
permitted by law, interest on any overdue principal, premium, interest, and
Additional Amounts, if any, at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such
Securities, and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient
to cover any amounts due to the Trustee under Section 907. Unless otherwise
specified pursuant to Section 301 with respect to any series of Securities, the
rate or rates at which Securities shall bear interest on overdue principal,
premium, interest and Additional Amounts shall be, to the extent permitted by
law, the same rate or rates at which such Securities shall bear interest prior
to maturity.

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

                                       44

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

SECTION 804.      TRUSTEE MAY FILE PROOFS OF CLAIM

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

                  (a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of
         principal, 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 amounts due to
         the Trustee under Section 907) and of the Holders allowed in such
         judicial proceeding, and

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

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or
other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by
each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the
Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders,
to pay to the Trustee any amounts due it under Section 907.

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

SECTION 805.      TRUSTEE MAY ENFORCE CLAIMS WITHOUT POSSESSION OF SECURITIES

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

                                       45

SECTION 806.      APPLICATION OF MONEY COLLECTED

                  Any money or other property collected or received by the
Trustee pursuant to this Article or otherwise distributable in respect of the
Company's obligations under this Indenture in the case of an Event of Default
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 or Additional Amounts, if any, upon presentation
of the Securities in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money
shall have been collected and the notation thereon of the payment if only
partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid:

                  FIRST: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee
         (including any predecessor Trustee) under Section 907;

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

                  THIRD: To the payment of the remainder, if any, to the Company
         or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a
         court of competent jurisdiction may direct.

SECTION 807.      LIMITATION ON SUITS

                  No Holder 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 shall have previously given written notice to
         the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the
         Securities of such series or Tranche;

                  (b) the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of
         the Outstanding Securities of all series in respect of which an Event
         of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, considered as one
         class, 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 shall have offered to the Trustee
         reasonable indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be
         incurred in compliance with such request;

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

                  (e) no direction inconsistent with such written request shall
         have been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders
         of a majority in aggregate

                                       46

         principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of all series in respect
         of which an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
         considered as one class;

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

SECTION 808.      UNCONDITIONAL RIGHT OF HOLDERS TO RECEIVE PRINCIPAL, PREMIUM
                  AND INTEREST

                  Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the
Holder of any Security shall have the right, which is absolute and
unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and
(subject to Sections 307 and 311) interest, if any, and Additional Amounts, if
any, on such Security on the Stated Maturity or Maturities if any expressed in
such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on the Redemption Date) and to
institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such rights shall
not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.

SECTION 809.      RESTORATION OF RIGHTS AND REMEDIES

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

SECTION 810.      RIGHTS AND REMEDIES CUMULATIVE

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

SECTION 811.      DELAY OR OMISSION NOT WAIVER

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

                                       47

SECTION 812.      CONTROL BY HOLDERS OF SECURITIES

                  If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing
in respect of a series of Securities, the Holders of a majority in principal
amount of the Outstanding Securities of such 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, however, that
if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to
more than one series of Securities, the Holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of all such series, considered as
one class, shall have the right to make such direction, and not the Holders of
the Securities of any one of such series; and provided, further, 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 any such direction,

                  (c) subject to the provisions of Section 601, the Trustee
         shall have the right to decline to follow any such directions if the
         Trustee in good faith shall, by a Responsible Officer of Officers of
         the Trustee, determine that the proceeding so directed would involve
         the Trustee in personal liability; and

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

                  Before proceeding to exercise any right or power hereunder at
the direction of such Holders, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive from
such Holders reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and
liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with any such direction.

SECTION 813.      WAIVER OF PAST DEFAULTS

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

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

                  (b) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under
         Section 1202 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 and all Events of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been
cured, for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to
any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon.

                                       48

SECTION 814.      UNDERTAKING FOR COSTS

                  The Company and the Trustee agree, and each Holder by his
acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its
discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under
this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken,
suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such
suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in
its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees,
against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and
good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the
provisions of this Section shall not apply to any suit instituted by the
Company, to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any
Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the aggregate more than 10% in aggregate
principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of all series in respect of which
such suit may be brought, considered as one class, or to any suit instituted by
any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of or premium, if
any, or interest or Additional Amounts, if any, on any Security on or after the
Stated Maturity or Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of
redemption, on or after the Redemption Date).

SECTION 815.      WAIVER OF STAY OR EXTENSION LAWS

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

                                  ARTICLE NINE

                                  THE TRUSTEE

SECTION 901.      CERTAIN DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

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

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

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

                                       49

                  provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to
                  the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the
                  same to determine whether or not they conform to the
                  requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or
                  investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other
                  facts stated therein).

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

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

                      (i) this Subsection shall not be construed to limit the
                  effect of Subsections (a) and (d) of this Section;

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

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

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

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

SECTION 902.      NOTICE OF DEFAULTS

                  The Trustee shall give notice of any default hereunder known
to the Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series to the Holders of
Securities of such series in the manner and to the extent required to do so by
the Trust Indenture Act, unless such default shall have been cured or waived;
provided, however, that in the case of any default of the character specified in
Section 801(c), no such notice to Holders shall be given until at least 45 days
after the occurrence thereof. For the purpose of this Section and clause (i) of
Section 903, the term

                                       50

"default" means any event which is, or after notice or lapse of time, or both,
would become, an Event of Default.

SECTION 903.      CERTAIN RIGHTS OF TRUSTEE

                  Subject to the provisions of Section 901:

                  (a) the Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be fully

         prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the
         Trustee (unless other evidence be herein specifically prescribed) may,
         in the absence of bad faith on its part, conclusively rely upon an
         Officer's 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 powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request
         or direction of any Holder pursuant to this Indenture, unless such
         Holder shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or
         indemnity 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, other evidence of indebtedness
         or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may
         make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters
         as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such
         further inquiry or investigation, it shall (subject to applicable legal
         requirements) be entitled to examine, during normal business hours, the
         books, records and premises of the Company, personally or by agent or
         attorney;

                  (g) the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers

         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;

                                       51

                  (h) the rights, privileges, protections, immunities and

         Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder;

                  (i) the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any
         default (as defined in Section 902) or Event of Default with respect to
         the Securities of any series for which it is acting as Trustee unless
         either (1) a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have actual
         knowledge that such default or Event of Default, as the case may be,
         exists and constitutes a default or Event of Default, as the case may
         be, under this Indenture, or (2) written notice of such default or
         Event of Default shall have been given in the manner provided in
         Section 105 hereof to the Trustee by the Company or any other obligor
         on such Securities or by any Holder of such Securities; and

                  (j) the Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or
         omits to take in good faith which it believes to be authorized or
         within its rights or powers conferred upon it under this Indenture.

SECTION 904.      NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR RECITALS OR ISSUANCE OF SECURITIES

                  The recitals contained herein and in the Securities (except
the Trustee's certificates of authentication) shall be taken as the statements
of the Company, and neither the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent assumes
responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to
the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Securities. 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 905.      MAY HOLD SECURITIES

                  Each of the Trustee, any Authenticating Agent, any Paying
Agent, any Security Registrar or any other agent of the Company, in its
individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities
and, subject to Sections 908 and 913, may otherwise deal with the Company with
the same rights it would have if it were not the Trustee, Authenticating Agent,
Paying Agent, Security Registrar or such other agent.

SECTION 906.      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 expressly provided herein or otherwise agreed with, and for the sole
benefit of, the Company.

SECTION 907.      COMPENSATION AND REIMBURSEMENT

                  The Company shall

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

                                       52

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

                  (c) indemnify the Trustee for and hold it harmless from and
         against, any loss, liability or expense reasonably incurred by it
         arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration
         of the trust or trusts hereunder or the performance of its duties
         hereunder, including the reasonable costs and expenses of defending
         itself against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise
         or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder, except to the
         extent any such loss, liability or expense may be attributable to its
         negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith.

                  As security for the performance of the obligations of the
Company under this Section, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the
Securities upon all property and funds held or collected by the Trustee as such
other than property and funds held in trust under Section 703 (except as
otherwise provided in Section 703).

                  In addition and without prejudice to the rights provided to
the Trustee under any of the provisions of this Indenture, when the Trustee
incurs expenses or renders services in connection with an Event of Default
specified in Section 801(d) or Section 801(e), the expenses (including the
reasonable charges and expenses of its counsel) and the compensation for the
services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law.

                  The Company's obligations under this Section 907 and the lien
referred to in this Section 907 shall survive the resignation or removal of the
Trustee, the discharge of the Company's obligations under Article Seven of this
Indenture and/or the termination of this Indenture.

                  "Trustee" for purposes of this Section shall include any
predecessor Trustee; provided, however, that the negligence, willful misconduct
or bad faith of any Trustee hereunder shall not affect the rights of any other
Trustee.

SECTION 908.      DISQUALIFICATION; CONFLICTING INTERESTS.

                  If the Trustee shall have or acquire any conflicting interest
within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act, it shall either eliminate such
conflicting interest or resign to the extent, in the manner and with the effect,
and subject to the conditions, provided in the Trust Indenture Act and this
Indenture. For purposes of Section 310(b)(1) of the Trust Indenture Act and to
the extent permitted thereby, the Trustee, in its capacity as trustee in respect
of the Securities of any series, shall not be deemed to have a conflicting
interest arising from its capacity as trustee in respect of the Securities of
any other series issued under this Indenture. Nothing herein shall prevent the
Trustee from filing with the Commission the application referred to in the
second to last paragraph of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act.

                                       53

SECTION 909.      CORPORATE TRUSTEE REQUIRED; ELIGIBILITY

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

                  (a) a corporation organized and doing business under the laws
         of the United States, any State or Territory thereof or the District of
         Columbia, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust
         powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000
         and subject to supervision or examination by Federal, State authority,
         or other applicable Governmental Authority, or

                  (b) if and to the extent permitted by the Commission by rule,
         regulation or order upon application, a corporation or other Person
         organized and doing business under the laws of a foreign government,
         authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a
         combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 or the Dollar
         equivalent of the applicable foreign currency and subject to
         supervision or examination by authority of such foreign government or a
         political subdivision thereof substantially equivalent to supervision
         or examination applicable to United States institutional trustees,

and, in either case, qualified and eligible under this Article and the Trust
Indenture Act. If such corporation publishes reports of condition at least
annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of such supervising or
examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined
capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined
capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so
published. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance
with the provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner
and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article.

SECTION 910.      RESIGNATION AND REMOVAL; APPOINTMENT OF SUCCESSOR

                  (a) No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no
         appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Article shall
         become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor
         Trustee in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 911.

                  (b) The Trustee may resign at any time with respect to the
         Securities of one or more series by giving written notice thereof to
         the Company. If the instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee
         required by Section 911 shall not have been delivered to the Trustee
         within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the
         resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for
         the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities
         of such series.

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

                  (d) If at any time:

                                       54

                      (1) the Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 908
                  after written request therefor by the Company or by any Holder
                  who has been a bona fide Holder for at least six months, or

                      (2) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section
                  909 or Section 310(a) of the Trust Indenture Act and shall
                  fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company
                  or by any such Holder, or

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

then, in any such case, (x)  the Company by a Board Resolution may remove the
Trustee with respect to all Securities or (y) subject to Section 814, any
Holder who has been a bona fide Holder for at least six months may, on behalf
of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee with respect to all Securities and
the appointment of a successor Trustee or Trustees.

                  (e) If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become
         incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of
         Trustee for any cause (other than as contemplated in clause (y) in
         subsection (d) of this Section), with respect to the Securities of one
         or more series, the Company, by a Board Resolution, shall promptly
         appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees with respect to the Securities
         of that or those series (it being understood that any such successor
         Trustee may be appointed with respect to the Securities of one or more
         or all of such series and that at any time there shall be only one
         Trustee with respect to the Securities of any particular series) and
         shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 911. If,
         within one year after such resignation, removal or incapability, or the
         occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee with respect to the
         Securities of any series shall be appointed by Act of the Holders of a
         majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such
         series delivered to the Company and the retiring Trustee, the successor
         Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such
         appointment in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section
         911, become the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of
         such series and to that extent supersede the successor Trustee
         appointed by the Company. If no successor Trustee with respect to the
         Securities of any series shall have been so appointed by the Company or
         the Holders and accepted appointment in the manner required by Section
         911, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of such
         series for at least six months may, on behalf of itself and all others
         similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for
         the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities
         of such series.

                  (f) So long as no event which is, or after notice or lapse of
         time, or both, would become, an Event of Default shall have occurred
         and be continuing, and except with respect to a Trustee appointed by
         Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding
         Securities pursuant to subsection (e) of this Section, if the Company
         shall have delivered to the Trustee (i) a Board Resolution appointing a

                                       55

         successor Trustee, effective as of a date specified therein, and (ii)
         an instrument of acceptance of such appointment, effective as of such
         date, by such successor Trustee in accordance with Section 911, the
         Trustee shall be deemed to have resigned as contemplated in subsection
         (b) of this Section, the successor Trustee shall be deemed to have been
         appointed by the Company pursuant to subsection (e) of this Section and
         such appointment shall be deemed to have been accepted as contemplated
         in Section 911, all as of such date, and all other provisions of this
         Section and Section 911 shall be applicable to such resignation,
         appointment and acceptance except to the extent inconsistent with this
         subsection (f).

                  (g) The Company (or, should the Company fail so to act
         promptly, the successor trustee at the expense of the Company) shall
         give notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee with
         respect to the Securities of any series and each appointment of a
         successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series by
         mailing written notice of such event by first-class mail, postage
         prepaid, to all Holders of Securities of such series as their names and
         addresses appear in the Security Register. Each notice shall include
         the name of the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of
         such series and the address of its corporate trust office.

SECTION 911.      ACCEPTANCE OF APPOINTMENT BY SUCCESSOR

                  (a) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor
         Trustee with respect to the Securities of all series, every such
         successor Trustee so appointed shall execute, acknowledge and deliver
         to the Company and to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such
         appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring
         Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without any
         further act, deed or conveyance shall become vested with all the
         rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on the
         request of the Company or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee
         shall, upon payment of all sums owed to it, execute and deliver an
         instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights,
         powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee and shall duly assign,
         transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money
         held by such retiring Trustee hereunder, subject nevertheless to its
         lien provided in Section 907.

                  (b) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor
         Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more (but not all)
         series, the Company, the retiring Trustee and each successor Trustee
         with respect to the Securities of one or more series shall execute and
         deliver an indenture supplemental hereto wherein each successor Trustee
         shall accept such appointment and which (1) shall contain such
         provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm
         to, and to vest in, each successor Trustee all the rights, powers,
         trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the
         Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such
         successor Trustee relates, (2) if the retiring Trustee is not retiring
         with respect to all Securities, shall contain such provisions as shall
         be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights,
         powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the
         Securities of that or those series as to which the retiring Trustee is
         not retiring shall continue to be vested in the retiring Trustee and
         (3) shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as
         shall be necessary to

                                       56

         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, upon payment of all sums owed
         to it, 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, subject nevertheless to
         its lien provided for in Section 907.

                  (c) Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Company
         shall execute any instruments which fully vest in and confirm to such
         successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred to in
         subsection (a) or (b) of this Section, as the case may be.

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

SECTION 912.      MERGER, CONVERSION, CONSOLIDATION OR SUCCESSION TO BUSINESS

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

SECTION 913.      PREFERENTIAL COLLECTION OF CLAIMS AGAINST COMPANY

                  If the Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the Company or
any other obligor upon the Securities (other than by reason of a relationship
described in Section 311(b) of the Trust Indenture Act), the Trustee shall be
subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act regarding the collection of
claims against the Company or such other obligor. For purposes of Section 311(b)
of the Trust Indenture Act:

                  (a) the term "cash transaction" means any transaction in which
         full payment for goods or securities sold is made within seven days
         after delivery of the goods or

                                       57

         securities in currency or in checks or other orders drawn upon banks or
         bankers and payable upon demand;

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

SECTION 914.      CO-TRUSTEES AND SEPARATE TRUSTEES.

                  At any time or times, for the purpose of meeting the legal
requirements of any applicable jurisdiction, the Company and the Trustee shall
have power to appoint, and, upon the written request of the Trustee or of the
Holders of at least 33% in principal amount of the Securities then Outstanding,
the Company shall for such purpose join with the Trustee in the execution and
delivery of all instruments and agreements necessary or proper to appoint, one
or more Persons approved by the Trustee either to act as co-trustee, jointly
with the Trustee, or to act as separate trustee, in either case with such powers
as may be provided in the instrument of appointment, and to vest in such Person
or Persons, in the capacity aforesaid, any property, title, right or power
deemed necessary or desirable, subject to the other provisions of this Section.
If the Company does not join in such appointment within 15 days after the
receipt by it of a request so to do, or if an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, the Trustee alone shall have power to make such
appointment.

                  Should any written instrument or instruments from the Company
be required by any co-trustee or separate trustee so appointed to more fully
confirm to such co-trustee or separate trustee such property, title, right or
power, any and all such instruments shall, on request, be executed, acknowledged
and delivered by the Company.

                  Every co-trustee or separate trustee shall, to the extent
permitted by law, but to such extent only, be appointed subject to the following
conditions:

                  (a) the Securities shall be authenticated and delivered, and
         all rights, powers, duties and obligations hereunder in respect of the
         custody of securities, cash and other personal property held by, or
         required to be deposited or pledged with, the Trustee hereunder, shall
         be exercised solely, by the Trustee;

                  (b) the rights, powers, duties and obligations hereby
         conferred or imposed upon the Trustee in respect of any property
         covered by such appointment shall be conferred or imposed upon and
         exercised or performed either by the Trustee or by the Trustee and such
         co-trustee or separate trustee jointly, as shall be provided in the
         instrument appointing such co-trustee or separate trustee, except to
         the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any
         particular act is to be performed, the Trustee

                                       58

         shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act, in which event
         such rights, powers, duties and obligations shall be exercised and
         performed by such co-trustee or separate trustee;

                  (c) the Trustee at any time, by an instrument in writing
         executed by it, with the concurrence of the Company, may accept the
         resignation of or remove any co-trustee or separate trustee appointed
         under this Section, and, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and
         be continuing, the Trustee shall have power to accept the resignation
         of, or remove, any such co-trustee or separate trustee without the
         concurrence of the Company. Upon the written request of the Trustee,
         the Company shall join with the Trustee in the execution and delivery
         of all instruments and agreements necessary or proper to effectuate
         such resignation or removal. A successor to any co-trustee or separate
         trustee so resigned or removed may be appointed in the manner provided
         in this Section;

                  (d) no co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be
         personally liable by reason of any act or omission of the Trustee, or
         any other such trustee hereunder, and the Trustee shall not be
         personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any such
         co-trustee or separate trustee; and

                  (e) any Act of Holders delivered to the Trustee shall be
         deemed to have been delivered to each such co-trustee and separate
         trustee.

SECTION 915.      APPOINTMENT OF AUTHENTICATING AGENT

                  The Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents with
respect to the Securities of one or more series, or any Tranche thereof, which
shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Securities
of such series or Tranche issued upon original issuance, exchange, registration
of transfer or partial redemption thereof or pursuant to Section 306, and
Securities so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture
and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the
Trustee hereunder. Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to the
authentication and delivery of Securities by the Trustee or the Trustee's
certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include
authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent
and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an
Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the
Company and shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business
under the laws of the United States, any State or territory thereof or the
District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to act as Authenticating Agent,
having a combined capital and surplus of not less than $50,000,000 and subject
to supervision or examination by Federal, State or other applicable Governmental
Authority. If such Authenticating Agent publishes reports of condition at least
annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of said supervising or
examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital
and surplus of such Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be its combined
capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so
published. If at any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in
accordance with the provisions of this Section, such Authenticating Agent shall
resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section.

                                       59

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

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

                  The Trustee agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from
time to time reasonable compensation for its services under this Section, and
the Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed for such payments, in accordance
with, and subject to the provisions of, Section 907.

                  The provisions of Sections 308, 904 and 905 shall be
applicable to each Authenticating Agent.

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

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

Dated:                                  [Name of Trustee],
                                        as Trustee

                                        By
                                          --------------------------------
                                           As Authenticating
                                           Agent

                                        By
                                          --------------------------------
                                           Authorized Signatory

                                       60

     If all of the Securities of a series may not be originally issued at one
time, and if the Trustee does not have an office capable of authenticating
Securities upon original issuance located in a Place of Payment where the
Company wishes to have Securities of such series authenticated upon original
issuance, the Trustee, if so requested by the Company in writing (which writing
need not comply with Section 102 and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of
Counsel), shall appoint, in accordance with this Section and in accordance with
such procedures as shall be acceptable to the Trustee, an Authenticating Agent
having an office in a Place of Payment designated by the Company with respect
to such series of Securities.

                            SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES

SECTION 1201.     SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES WITHOUT CONSENT OF HOLDERS

                  Without the consent of any Holders, the Company and the

                  (e) to change or eliminate any provision of this Indenture or

         than any series the terms of which permit such change, elimination or
         addition) Outstanding on the date of such indenture supplemental hereto
         in any material respect, such change, elimination or addition shall
         become effective (i) with respect to such series or Tranche only

         Security of such series or Tranche remains Outstanding; or

                                       63

                  (f) to provide collateral security for all but not part of the
         Securities; or

                  (g) to establish the form or terms of Securities of any series

         solicitation of the vote or consent of, the holders thereof, and for
         any and all other matters incidental thereto; or

                  (i) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment
         hereunder by a separate or successor Trustee or co-trustee with respect
         to the Securities of one or more series and to add to or change any of
         the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for
         or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than
         one Trustee, pursuant to the requirements of Section 911(b); or

                  (j) to provide for the procedures required to permit the

                  (l) to cure any ambiguity, or to correct or supplement any
         provision herein which may be defective or inconsistent with any other
         provision herein.

SECTION 1202.     SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES WITH CONSENT OF HOLDERS

                  With the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Securities of all series then Outstanding under this
Indenture, considered as one class, by Act of said Holders delivered to the
Company and the Trustee, the Company, when authorized by Board Resolutions, and
the Trustee may enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for
the purpose of adding any provisions to, or changing in any manner or
eliminating any of the provisions of, this Indenture or modifying in any manner
the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series under the Indenture;
provided, however, that if there shall be Securities of more than one series
Outstanding hereunder and if a proposed supplemental indenture shall directly
affect the rights of the Holders of Securities of one or more, but less than
all, of such series, then the consent only of the Holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of all series so
directly affected, considered as one class, shall be required; and provided,
further, that if the Securities of any series shall have been issued in more
than one Tranche and if the proposed supplemental indenture shall directly
affect the rights of the Holders

                                       64

of Securities of one or more, but less than all, of such Tranches, then the
consent only of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of all Tranches so directly affected, considered as one
class, shall be required; and provided, further, that no such supplemental
indenture shall:

                  (a) change the Stated Maturity of the principal of, or any
         installment of principal of or interest on any Security (other than
         pursuant to the terms thereof), or reduce the principal amount thereof
         or the rate of interest thereon (or the amount of any installment of
         interest thereon) or change the method of calculating such rate or
         reduce any premium payable upon the redemption thereof, or reduce the
         amount of the principal of a Discount Security that would be due and
         payable upon a declaration of acceleration of the Maturity thereof
         pursuant to Section 802, or change the coin or currency (or other
         property), in which any Security or any premium or the interest thereon
         is payable, or impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement
         of any such payment on or after the Stated Maturity of any Security
         (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date),
         without, in any such case, the consent of the Holder of such Security,
         or

                  (b) reduce the percentage in principal amount of the
         Outstanding Securities of any series or any Tranche thereof, the
         consent of the Holders of which is required for any such supplemental
         indenture, or the consent of the Holders of which is required for any
         waiver of compliance with any provision of this Indenture or of any
         default hereunder and its consequences, or reduce the requirements of
         Section 1304 for quorum or voting, without, in any such case, the
         consent of the Holders of each Outstanding Security of such series or
         Tranche, or

                  (c) modify any of the provisions of this Section, Section 607
         or Section 813 with respect to the Securities of any series, or any
         Tranche thereof, except to increase the percentages in principal amount
         referred to in this Section or such other Sections or to provide that
         other provisions of this Indenture cannot be modified or waived without
         the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security affected
         thereby; provided, however, that this clause shall not be deemed to
         require the consent of any Holder with respect to changes in the
         references to "the Trustee" and concomitant changes in this Section, or
         the deletion of this proviso, in accordance with the requirements of
         Sections 911(b), 914 and 1201(h).

                  A supplemental indenture which changes or eliminates any
covenant or other provision of this Indenture which has expressly been included
solely for the benefit of one or more particular series of Securities, or of one
or more Tranches thereof, 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 or Tranche.

                  It shall not be necessary for any Act of Holders under this
Section to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture,
but it shall be sufficient if such Act shall approve the substance thereof. A
waiver by a Holder of such Holder's right to consent under this Section shall be
deemed to be a consent of such Holder.

                                       65

                  Anything in this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, if
the Officer's Certificate, supplemental indenture or Board Resolution, as the
case may be, establishing the Securities of any series or Tranche shall provide
that the Company may make certain specified additions, changes or eliminations
to or from the Indenture which shall be specified in such Officer's Certificate,
supplemental indenture or Board Resolution establishing such series or Tranche,
(a) the Holders of Securities of such series or Tranche shall be deemed to have
consented to a supplemental indenture containing such additions, changes or
eliminations to or from the Indenture which shall be specified in such Officer's
Certificate, supplemental indenture or Board Resolution establishing such series
or Tranche, (b) no Act of such Holders shall be required to evidence such
consent and (c) such consent may be counted in the determination of whether or
not the Holders of the requisite principal amount of Securities shall have
consented to such supplemental indenture.

SECTION 1203.     EXECUTION OF SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES

                  In executing, or accepting the additional trusts created by,
any supplemental indenture permitted by this Article or the modifications
thereby of the trusts created by this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled
to receive, and (subject to Section 901) shall be fully protected in relying
upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such supplemental
indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture. The Trustee may, but
shall not be obligated to, enter into any such supplemental indenture which
affects the Trustee's own rights, duties, immunities or liabilities under this
Indenture or otherwise.

SECTION 1204.     EFFECT OF SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES

                  Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture under this
Article, this Indenture shall be modified in accordance therewith, and such
supplemental indenture shall form a part of this Indenture for all purposes; and
every Holder of Securities theretofore or thereafter authenticated and delivered
hereunder shall be bound thereby. Any supplemental indenture permitted by this
Article may restate this Indenture in its entirety, and, upon the execution and
delivery thereof, any such restatement shall supersede this Indenture as
theretofore in effect for all purposes.

SECTION 1205.     CONFORMITY WITH TRUST INDENTURE ACT

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

SECTION 1206.     REFERENCE IN SECURITIES TO SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES

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

                                       66

SECTION 1207.     MODIFICATION WITHOUT SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE

                  If the terms of any particular series of Securities shall have
been established in a Board Resolution or an Officer's Certificate as
contemplated by Section 301, and not in an indenture supplemental hereto,
additions to, changes in or the elimination of any of such terms may be effected
by means of a supplemental Board Resolution or Officer's Certificate, as the
case may be, delivered to, and accepted by, the Trustee; provided, however, that
such supplemental Board Resolution or Officer's Certificate shall not be
accepted by the Trustee or otherwise be effective unless all conditions set
forth in this Indenture which would be required to be satisfied if such
additions, changes or elimination were contained in a supplemental indenture
shall have been appropriately satisfied. Upon the acceptance thereof by the
Trustee, any such supplemental Board Resolution or Officer's Certificate shall
be deemed to be a "supplemental indenture" for purposes of Sections 1204 and
1205.

                                ARTICLE THIRTEEN

                  MEETINGS OF HOLDERS; ACTION WITHOUT MEETING

SECTION 1301.     PURPOSES FOR WHICH MEETINGS MAY BE CALLED

                  A meeting of Holders of Securities of one or more, or all,
series, or any Tranche or Tranches thereof, may be called at any time and from
time to time pursuant to this Article to make, give or take any request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by
this Indenture to be made, given or taken by Holders of Securities of such
series or Tranches.

SECTION 1302.     CALL, NOTICE AND PLACE OF MEETINGS

                  (a) The Trustee may at any time call a meeting of Holders of
         Securities of one or more, or all, series, or any Tranche or Tranches
         thereof, for any purpose specified in Section 1301, to be held at such

         manner provided in Section 106, not less than 21 nor more than 180 days
         prior to the date fixed for the meeting.

                  (b) If the Trustee shall have been requested to call a meeting
         of the Holders of Securities of one or more, or all, series, or any
         Tranche or Tranches thereof, by the Company or by the Holders of 33% in
         aggregate principal amount of all of such series and Tranches,
         considered as one class, for any purpose specified in Section 1301, by
         written request setting forth in reasonable detail the action proposed
         to be taken at the meeting, and the Trustee shall not have given the
         notice of such meeting within 21 days after receipt of such request or
         shall not thereafter proceed to cause the meeting to be held as
         provided herein, then the Company or the Holders of Securities of such
         series and Tranches in the amount above specified, as the case may be,
         may determine the time and the place in the Borough of Manhattan, The
         City of New York, or in such other place as

                                       67

         shall be determined or approved by the Company, for such meeting and
         may call such meeting for such purposes by giving notice thereof as
         provided in subsection (a) of this Section.

                  (c) Any meeting of Holders of Securities of one or more, or
         all, series, or any Tranche or Tranches thereof, shall be valid without
         notice if the Holders of all Outstanding Securities of such series or
         Tranches are present in person or by proxy and if representatives of
         the Company and the Trustee are present, or if notice is waived in
         writing before or after the meeting by the Holders of all Outstanding
         Securities of such series, or any Tranche or Tranches thereof, or by
         such of them as are not present at the meeting in person or by proxy,
         and by the Company and the Trustee.

SECTION 1303.     PERSONS ENTITLED TO VOTE AT MEETINGS

                  To be entitled to vote at any meeting of Holders of Securities
of one or more, or all, series, or any Tranche or Tranches thereof, a Person

Tranches, or (b) a Person appointed by an instrument in writing as proxy for a
Holder or Holders of one or more Outstanding Securities of such series or
Tranches by such Holder or Holders. The only Persons who shall be entitled to
attend any meeting of Holders of Securities of any series or Tranche shall be

SECTION 1304.     QUORUM; ACTION

                  The Persons entitled to vote a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the Outstanding Securities of the series and Tranches with respect to
which a meeting shall have been called as hereinbefore provided, considered as
one class, shall constitute a quorum for a meeting of Holders of Securities of
such series and Tranches; provided, however, that if any action is to be taken
at such meeting which this Indenture expressly provides may be taken by the
Holders of a specified percentage, which is less than a majority, in principal
amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series and Tranches, considered as
one class, the Persons entitled to vote such specified percentage in principal
amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series and Tranches, considered as
one class, shall constitute a quorum. In the absence of a quorum within one hour
of the time appointed for any such meeting, the meeting shall, if convened at
the request of Holders of Securities of such series and Tranches, be dissolved.
In any other case the meeting may be adjourned for such period as may be
determined by the chairman of the meeting prior to the adjournment of such
meeting. In the absence of a quorum at any such adjourned meeting, such
adjourned meeting may be further adjourned for such period as may be determined
by the chairman of the meeting prior to the adjournment of such adjourned
meeting. Except as provided by Section 1305(e), notice of the reconvening of any
meeting adjourned for more than 30 days shall be given as provided in Section
1302(a) not less than 10 days prior to the date on which the meeting is

shall state expressly the percentage, as provided above, of the principal amount
of the Outstanding Securities of such series and Tranches which shall constitute
a quorum.

                                       68

                  Except as limited by Section 1202, any resolution presented to
a meeting or adjourned meeting duly reconvened at which a quorum is present as
aforesaid may be adopted only by the affirmative vote of the Holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of the
series and Tranches with respect to which such meeting shall have been called,
considered as one class; provided, however, that, except as so limited, any
resolution with respect to any action which this Indenture expressly provides
may be taken by the Holders of a specified percentage, which is less than a
majority, in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series and
Tranches, considered as one class, may be adopted at a meeting or an adjourned
meeting duly reconvened and at which a quorum is present as aforesaid by the
affirmative vote of the Holders of such specified percentage in principal amount
of the Outstanding Securities of such series and Tranches, considered as one
class.

                  Any resolution passed or decision taken at any meeting of
Holders of Securities duly held in accordance with this Section shall be binding
on all the Holders of Securities of the series and Tranches with respect to
which such meeting shall have been held, whether or not present or represented
at the meeting.

SECTION 1305.     ATTENDANCE AT MEETINGS; DETERMINATION OF VOTING RIGHTS;
                  CONDUCT AND ADJOURNMENT OF MEETINGS

                  (a) Attendance at meetings of Holders of Securities may be in
         person or if the Securities are in registered form by proxy; and, to
         the extent permitted by law, any such proxy shall remain in effect and
         be binding upon any future Holder of the Securities with respect to
         which it was given unless and until specifically revoked by the Holder
         or future Holder of such Securities before being voted.

                  (b) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture,
         the Trustee may make such reasonable regulations as it may deem
         advisable for any meeting of Holders of Securities in regard to proof
         of the holding of such Securities and of the appointment of proxies and
         in regard to the appointment and duties of inspectors of votes, the
         submission and examination of proxies, certificates and other evidence
         of the right to vote, and such other matters concerning the conduct of
         the meeting as it shall deem appropriate. Except as otherwise permitted
         or required by any such regulations, the holding of Securities shall be
         proved in the manner specified in Section 104 and the appointment of
         any proxy shall be proved in the manner specified in Section 104. Such
         regulations may provide that written instruments appointing proxies,
         regular on their face, may be presumed valid and genuine without the
         proof specified in Section 104 or other proof.

                  (c) The Trustee shall, by an instrument in writing, appoint a
         temporary chairman of the meeting, unless the meeting shall have been
         called by the Company or by Holders as provided in Section 1302(b), in
         which case the Company or the Holders of Securities of the series and
         Tranches calling the meeting, as the case may be, shall in like manner
         appoint a temporary chairman. A permanent chairman and a permanent
         secretary of the meeting shall be elected by vote of the Persons
         entitled to vote a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
         Outstanding Securities of all series and Tranches represented at the
         meeting, considered as one class.

                                       69

                  (d) At any meeting each Holder or proxy shall be entitled to
         one vote for each $1 principal amount of Securities held or represented
         by him; provided, however, that no vote shall be cast or counted at any
         meeting in respect of any Security challenged as not Outstanding and
         ruled by the chairman of the meeting to be not Outstanding. The
         chairman of the meeting shall have no right to vote, except as a Holder
         of a Security or proxy.

                  (e) Any meeting duly called pursuant to Section 1302 at which
         a quorum is present may be adjourned from time to time by Persons
         entitled to vote a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
         Outstanding Securities of all series and Tranches represented at the
         meeting, considered as one class; and the meeting may be held as so
         adjourned without further notice.

SECTION 1306.     COUNTING VOTES AND RECORDING ACTION OF MEETINGS

                  The vote upon any resolution submitted to any meeting of
Holders shall be by written ballots on which shall be subscribed the signatures
of the Holders or of their representatives by proxy and the principal amounts
and serial numbers of the Outstanding Securities, of the series and Tranches
with respect to which the meeting shall have been called, held or represented by
them. The permanent chairman of the meeting shall appoint two inspectors of
votes who shall count all votes cast at the meeting for or against any
resolution and who shall make and file with the secretary of the meeting their
verified written reports of all votes cast at the meeting. A record of the
proceedings of each meeting of Holders shall be prepared by the secretary of the
meeting and there shall be attached to said record the original reports of the
inspectors of votes on any vote by ballot taken thereat and affidavits by one or
more persons having knowledge of the facts setting forth a copy of the notice of
the meeting and showing that said notice was given as provided in Section 1302
and, if applicable, Section 1304. Each copy shall be signed and verified by the
affidavits of the permanent chairman and secretary of the meeting and one such
copy shall be delivered to the Company, and another to the Trustee to be
preserved by the Trustee, the latter to have attached thereto the ballots voted
at the meeting. Any record so signed and verified shall be conclusive evidence
of the matters therein stated.

SECTION 1307.     ACTION WITHOUT MEETING

                  In lieu of a vote of Holders at a meeting as hereinbefore
contemplated in this Article, any request, demand, authorization, direction,
notice, consent, waiver or other action may be made, given or taken by Holders
by written instruments as provided in Section 104.

        IMMUNITY OF INCORPORATORS, STOCKHOLDERS, OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS

SECTION 1401.     LIABILITY SOLELY CORPORATE

                  No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of
or premium, if any, or interest or Additional Amounts, if any, on any
Securities, or any part thereof, or for any claim based thereon or otherwise in
respect thereof, or of the indebtedness represented thereby, or upon any
obligation, covenant or agreement under this Indenture, against any past,
present or future

                                       70

incorporator, shareholder, member, limited partner, stockholder, officer,
manager or director, as such, of the Company, or any predecessor or successor of
the Company, either directly or indirectly, whether by virtue of any
constitutional provision, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any
assessment or penalty or otherwise; it being expressly agreed and understood
that this Indenture and all the Securities are solely obligations of the
Company, and that no personal liability whatsoever shall attach to, or be
incurred by, any past, present or future incorporator, shareholder, member,
limited partner, stockholder, officer, manager or director of the Company or any
predecessor or successor of the Company, either directly or indirectly, because
of the indebtedness hereby authorized or under or by reason of any of the
obligations, covenants or agreements contained in this Indenture or in any of
the Securities or to be implied herefrom or therefrom, and that any such
personal liability is hereby expressly waived and released as a condition of,
and as part of the consideration for, the execution of this Indenture and the
issuance of the Securities.

                                ARTICLE FIFTEEN

                          SUBORDINATION OF SECURITIES

SECTION 1501.     SECURITIES SUBORDINATE TO SENIOR INDEBTEDNESS.

                  The Company, for itself, its successors and assigns, covenants
and agrees, and each Holder of the Securities of each series, by its acceptance
thereof, likewise covenants and agrees, that the payment of the principal of and
premium, if any, and interest, if any, and Additional Amounts, if any, on each
and all of the Securities is hereby expressly subordinated and junior, to the
extent and in the manner set forth in this Article, in right of payment to the
prior payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness.

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

SECTION 1502.     PAYMENT OVER OF PROCEEDS OF SECURITIES.

                  In the event (a) of any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings
or any receivership, liquidation, reorganization or other similar proceedings in
respect of the Company or a substantial part of its property, or of any
proceedings for liquidation, dissolution or other winding up of the Company,
whether or not involving insolvency or bankruptcy, or (b) subject to the
provisions of Section 1503, that (i) a default shall have occurred with respect
to the payment of principal of or interest on or other monetary amounts due and
payable on any Senior Indebtedness, or (ii) there shall have occurred a default
(other than a default in the payment of principal or interest or other monetary
amounts due and payable) in respect of any Senior Indebtedness, as defined
therein or in the instrument under which the same is outstanding, permitting the
holder or holders thereof to accelerate the maturity thereof (with notice or
lapse of time, or both), and such default shall have continued beyond the period
of grace, if any, in respect thereof, and, in the cases of subclauses (i) and
(ii) of this clause (b), such default shall not have been cured or waived or
shall not have ceased to exist, or (c) that the principal of and

                                       71

accrued interest on the Securities of any series shall have been declared due
and payable pursuant to Section 801 and such declaration shall not have been
rescinded and annulled as provided in Section 802, then:

                      (1) the holders of all Senior Indebtedness shall first be
                  entitled to receive payment of the full amount due thereon, or
                  provision shall be made for such payment in money or money's
                  worth, before the Holders of any of the Securities are
                  entitled to receive a payment on account of the principal of
                  or interest on the indebtedness evidenced by the Securities,
                  including, without limitation, any payments made pursuant to
                  Articles Four and Five;

                      (2) any payment by, or distribution of assets of, the
                  Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or
                  securities, to which any Holder or the Trustee would be
                  entitled except for the provisions of this Article, shall be
                  paid or delivered by the person making such payment or
                  distribution, whether a trustee in bankruptcy, a receiver or
                  liquidating trustee or otherwise, directly to the holders of
                  such Senior Indebtedness or their representative or
                  representatives or to the trustee or trustees under any
                  indenture under which any instruments evidencing any of such
                  Senior Indebtedness may have been issued, ratably according to
                  the aggregate amounts remaining unpaid on account of such
                  Senior Indebtedness held or represented by each, to the extent
                  necessary to make payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness
                  remaining unpaid after giving effect to any concurrent payment
                  or distribution (or provision therefor) to the holders of such
                  Senior Indebtedness, before any payment or distribution is
                  made to the Holders of the indebtedness evidenced by the
                  Securities or to the Trustee under this Indenture; and

                      (3) in the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any
                  payment by, or distribution of assets of, the Company of any
                  kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, in
                  respect of principal of or interest on the Securities or in
                  connection with any repurchase by the Company of the
                  Securities, shall be received by the Trustee or any Holder
                  before all Senior Indebtedness is paid in full, or provision
                  is made for such payment in money or money's worth, such
                  payment or distribution in respect of principal of or interest
                  on the Securities or in connection with any repurchase by the
                  Company of the Securities shall be paid over to the holders of
                  such Senior Indebtedness or their representative or
                  representatives or to the trustee or trustees under any
                  indenture under which any instruments evidencing any such
                  Senior Indebtedness may have been issued, ratably as
                  aforesaid, for application to the payment of all Senior
                  Indebtedness remaining unpaid until all such Senior
                  Indebtedness shall have been paid in full, after giving effect
                  to any concurrent payment or distribution (or provision
                  therefor) to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time after the 123rd day
following the date of deposit of cash or Government Obligations pursuant to
Section 701 (provided all conditions set out in such Section shall have been
satisfied), the funds so deposited and any interest thereon will not be subject
to any rights of holders of Senior Indebtedness including, without limitation,

                                       72

those arising under this Article Sixteen; provided that no event described in
clauses (d) and (e) of Section 801 with respect to the Company has occurred
during such 123-day period.

                  For purposes of this Article only, the words "cash, property
or securities" shall not be deemed to include shares of stock of the Company as
reorganized or readjusted, or securities of the Company or any other corporation
provided for by a plan or reorganization or readjustment which are subordinate
in right of payment to all Senior Indebtedness which may at the time be
outstanding to the same extent as, or to a greater extent than, the Securities
are so subordinated as provided in this Article. The consolidation of the
Company with, or the merger of the Company into, another corporation or the
liquidation or dissolution of the Company following the conveyance or transfer
of its property as an entirety, or substantially as an entirety, to another
corporation upon the terms and conditions provided for in Article Eleven hereof
shall not be deemed a dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization for
the purposes of this Section 1502 if such other corporation shall, as a part of
such consolidation, merger, conveyance or transfer, comply with the conditions
stated in Article Eleven hereof. Nothing in Section 1501 or in this Section 1502
shall apply to claims of, or payments to, the Trustee under or pursuant to
Section 907.

SECTION 1503.     DISPUTES WITH HOLDERS OF CERTAIN SENIOR INDEBTEDNESS.

                  Any failure by the Company to make any payment on or perform
any other obligation in respect of Senior Indebtedness, other than any
indebtedness incurred by the Company or assumed or guaranteed, directly or
indirectly, by the Company for money borrowed (or any deferral, renewal,
extension or refunding thereof) or any other obligation as to which the
provisions of this Section shall have been waived by the Company in the
instrument or instruments by which the Company incurred, assumed, guaranteed or
otherwise created such indebtedness or obligation, shall not be deemed a default
under clause (b) of Section 1502 if (i) the Company shall be disputing its
obligation to make such payment or perform such obligation and (ii) either (A)
no final judgment relating to such dispute shall have been issued against the
Company which is in full force and effect and is not subject to further review,
including a judgment that has become final by reason of the expiration of the
time within which a party may seek further appeal or review, or (B) in the event
that a judgment that is subject to further review or appeal has been issued, the
Company shall in good faith be prosecuting an appeal or other proceeding for
review and a stay or execution shall have been obtained pending such appeal or
review.

SECTION 1504.     SUBROGATION.

                  Senior Indebtedness shall not be deemed to have been paid in
full unless the holders thereof shall have received cash (or securities or other
property satisfactory to such holders) in full payment of such Senior
Indebtedness then outstanding. Subject to the prior payment in full of all
Senior Indebtedness, the rights of the Holders of the Securities shall be
subrogated to the rights of the holders of Senior Indebtedness to receive any
further payments or distributions of cash, property or securities of the Company
applicable to the holders of the Senior Indebtedness until all amounts owing on
the Securities shall be paid in full; and such payments or distributions of
cash, property or securities received by the Holders of the Securities, by
reason of such subrogation, which otherwise would be paid or distributed to the

                                       73

holders of such Senior Indebtedness shall, as between the Company, its creditors
other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness, and the Holders, be deemed to be
a payment by the Company to or on account of Senior Indebtedness, it being
understood that the provisions of this Article are and are intended solely for
the purpose of defining the relative rights of the Holders, on the one hand, and
the holders of the Senior Indebtedness, on the other hand.

SECTION 1505.     OBLIGATION OF THE COMPANY UNCONDITIONAL.

                  Nothing contained in this Article or elsewhere in this
Indenture or in the Securities is intended to or shall impair, as among the
Company, its creditors other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness and the
Holders, the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to
pay to the Holders the principal of and interest on the Securities as and when
the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms, or is
intended to or shall affect the relative rights of the Holders and creditors of
the Company other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness, nor shall anything
herein or therein prevent the Trustee or any Holder from exercising all remedies
otherwise permitted by applicable law upon default under this Indenture, subject
to the rights, if any, under this Article of the holders of Senior Indebtedness
in respect of cash, property or securities of the Company received upon the
exercise of any such remedy.

                  Upon any payment or distribution of assets or securities of
the Company referred to in this Article, the Trustee and the Holders shall be
entitled to rely upon any order or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction
in which such dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization proceedings
are pending for the purpose of ascertaining the persons entitled to participate
in such distribution, the holders of the Senior Indebtedness and other
indebtedness of the Company, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount
or amounts paid or distributed thereon, and all other facts pertinent thereto or
to this Article.

SECTION 1506.     PRIORITY OF SENIOR INDEBTEDNESS UPON MATURITY.

                  Upon the maturity of the principal of any Senior Indebtedness
by lapse of time, acceleration or otherwise, all matured principal of Senior
Indebtedness and interest and premium, if any, thereon shall first be paid in
full before any payment of principal or premium, if any, or interest, if any, is
made upon the Securities or before any Securities can be acquired by the Company
or any sinking fund payment is made with respect to the Securities (except that
required sinking fund payments may be reduced by Securities acquired before such
maturity of such Senior Indebtedness).

SECTION 1507.     TRUSTEE AS HOLDER OF SENIOR INDEBTEDNESS.

                  The Trustee shall be entitled to all rights set forth in this
Article with respect to any Senior Indebtedness at any time held by it, to the
same extent as any other holder of Senior Indebtedness. Nothing in this Article
shall deprive the Trustee of any of its rights as such holder.

SECTION 1508.     NOTICE TO TRUSTEE TO EFFECTUATE SUBORDINATION.

                  Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article or any other
provision of the Indenture, the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of
the existence of any facts which

                                       74

would prohibit the making of any payment of moneys to or by the Trustee unless
and until the Trustee shall have received written notice thereof from the
Company, from a Holder or from a holder of any Senior Indebtedness or from any
representative or representatives of such holder and, prior to the receipt of
any such written notice, the Trustee shall be entitled, subject to Section 901,
in all respects to assume that no such facts exist; provided, however, that, if
prior to the fifth Business Day preceding the date upon which by the terms
hereof any such moneys may become payable for any purpose, or in the event of
the execution of an instrument pursuant to Section 702 acknowledging
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, then if prior to the second
Business Day preceding the date of such execution, the Trustee shall not have
received with respect to such moneys the notice provided for in this Section,
then, anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee
may, in its discretion, receive such moneys and/or apply the same to the purpose
for which they were received, and shall not be affected by any notice to the
contrary, which may be received by it on or after such date; provided, however,
that no such application shall affect the obligations under this Article of the
persons receiving such moneys from the Trustee.

SECTION 1509.     MODIFICATION, EXTENSION, ETC. OF SENIOR INDEBTEDNESS.

                  The holders of Senior Indebtedness may, without affecting in
any manner the subordination of the payment of the principal of and premium, if
any, and interest, if any, on the Securities, at any time or from time to time
and in their absolute discretion, agree with the Company to change the manner,
place or terms of payment, change or extend the time of payment of, or renew or
alter, any Senior Indebtedness, or amend or supplement any instrument pursuant
to which any Senior Indebtedness is issued, or exercise or refrain from
exercising any other of their rights under the Senior Indebtedness including,
without limitation, the waiver of default thereunder, all without notice to or
assent from the Holders or the Trustee.

SECTION 1510.     TRUSTEE HAS NO FIDUCIARY DUTY TO HOLDERS OF SENIOR
                  INDEBTEDNESS.

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

SECTION 1511.     PAYING AGENTS OTHER THAN THE TRUSTEE.

                  In case at any time any Paying Agent other than the Trustee
shall have been appointed by the Company and be then acting hereunder, the term
"Trustee" as used in this Article shall in such case (unless the context shall
otherwise require) be construed as extending to and including such Paying Agent
within its meaning as fully for all intents and purposes as if such Paying Agent
were named in this Article in addition to or in place of the Trustee; provided,
however, that Sections 1507, 1508 and 1510 shall not apply to the Company if it
acts as Paying Agent.

                                       75

SECTION 1512.     RIGHTS OF HOLDERS OF SENIOR INDEBTEDNESS NOT IMPAIRED.

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

SECTION 1513.     EFFECT OF SUBORDINATION PROVISIONS; TERMINATION.

                  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary,
other than as provided in the immediately succeeding sentence, all the
provisions of this Indenture shall be subject to the provisions of this Article,
so far as the same may be applicable thereto.

                  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the
provisions of this Article Sixteen shall be of no further effect, and the
Securities shall no longer be subordinated in right of payment to the prior
payment of Senior Indebtedness, if the Company shall have delivered to the
Trustee a notice to such effect. Any such notice delivered by the Company shall
not be deemed to be a supplemental indenture for purposes of Article Twelve.

                             ---------------------

                  This instrument may be executed in any number of counterparts,
