reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations
with respect to the matters upon which his certificate or opinion is based are
erroneous. Any such certificate or opinion of counsel may be based, insofar as
it relates

                                       8
<PAGE>

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.

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

Section 104. Acts of Holders; Record Dates.

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

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

                  The principal amount and serial numbers of Securities held by
any Person, and the date of holding the same, shall be proved by the Security
Register.

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

                  The Company may set any day as a record date for the purpose
of determining the Holders of Outstanding Securities of any series entitled to
give, make or take any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
consent, waiver or other action provided or permitted by this Indenture to be
given, made or taken by Holders of Securities of such series, provided, that the
Company may not set a record date for, and the provisions of this paragraph
shall not apply with respect to, the giving or making of any notice,
declaration, request or direction referred to in the next paragraph. If any
record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders

                                       9
<PAGE>

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

                  The Trustee may set any day as a record date for the purpose
of determining the Holders of Outstanding Securities of any series entitled to
join in the giving or making of (i) any Notice of Default, (ii) any declaration
of acceleration referred to in SECTION 502, (iii) any request to institute
proceedings referred to in SECTION 507(2) or (iv) any direction referred to in
SECTION 512, in each case with respect to Securities of such series. If any
record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding
Securities of such series on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be
entitled to join in such notice, declaration, request or direction, whether or
not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided, that no such
action shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to the applicable
Expiration Date by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding
Securities of such series on such record date. Nothing in this paragraph shall
be construed to prevent the Trustee from setting a new record date for any
action for which a record date has previously been set pursuant to this
paragraph (whereupon the record date previously set shall automatically and with
no action by any Person be cancelled and of no effect), and nothing in this
paragraph shall be construed to render ineffective any action taken by Holders
of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of the relevant
series on the date such action is taken. Promptly after any record date is set
pursuant to this paragraph, the Trustee, at the Company's expense, shall cause
notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable
Expiration Date to be given to the Company in writing and to each Holder of
Securities of the relevant series in the manner set forth in SECTION 106.

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

                                       10
<PAGE>

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

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

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

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

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

Section 106. Notice to Holders; Waiver.

                  Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, where this
Indenture provides for notice of any event to Holders of Securities, such notice
shall be sufficiently given to Holders of Securities if in writing and mailed,
first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder of a Security 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 of Securities 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 of Securities is given by
mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so
mailed, to any particular Holder of a Security shall affect the sufficiency of
such notice with respect to other Holders.

                  Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such
notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice
either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of
such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders of Securities 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.

                  This Indenture shall incorporate and be governed by the
provisions of the Trust Indenture Act that are required to be part of and to
govern indentures qualified under the Trust Indenture Act. If any provision
hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with a provision of the Trust Indenture
Act that is required under such Act to be a part of and govern this Indenture,
the latter provision shall control. If any provision of this Indenture modifies
or excludes any provision of the Trust Indenture Act that may be so modified or
excluded, the former provision shall be deemed to apply to this Indenture as so
modified or to be excluded, as the case may be.

Section 108       Effect of Headings and Table of Contents.

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

enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or
impaired thereby.

Section 111       Benefits of Indenture.

                  Nothing in this Indenture or in the Securities, express or
implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and their

any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this
Indenture.

Section 112       Governing Law.

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

Section 113       Legal Holidays.

                  In any case where any Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date
or Stated Maturity of any Security shall not be a Business Day at any Place of
Payment, then (notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or of the
Securities (other than a provision of any Security which specifically states
that such provision shall apply in lieu of this Section)) payment of interest or
principal (and premium, if any) need not be made at such Place of Payment on
such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day at such Place of
Payment with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date
or Redemption Date, or at the Stated Maturity.

                  The Company irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive
jurisdiction of any federal or state court in the City, County and State of New
York, United States, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any legal
suit, action or proceeding based on or arising under the Securities or this
Indenture and agrees that all claims in respect of such suit or proceeding may
be determined in any such court. The Company irrevocably waives to the fullest
extent permitted by law, any objection to any such suit, including actions,
suits or proceedings relating to the securities laws of the United States of
America or any state thereof, in such courts whether on the grounds of venue,
residence or domicile or the defense of an inconvenient forum or objections to
personal jurisdiction with respect to the maintenance of such legal suit, action
or proceeding. The Company agrees that the final judgment in any such suit,
action or proceeding brought in such court shall be conclusive and binding upon
the Company and may be enforced in any court to the jurisdiction of which the
Company is subject by a suit upon such judgment.

                  No recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, against any
incorporator, subscriber to the capital stock, stockholder, officer, director or

Company or the Trustee with respect to the Company's obligations on the
Securities or the obligations of the Company or the Trustee under this Indenture
or any certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith.

execution of such Securities.

Section 202       Form of Legend for Global Securities.

                  Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by SECTION 301 for

                  THIS SECURITY IS A GLOBAL SECURITY WITHIN THE MEANING OF THE
         INDENTURE HEREINAFTER REFERRED TO AND IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF A

                                       The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A.,
                                       As Trustee

                                       By: _____________________________________

Section 204.      Securities in Global Form.

                  If Securities of or within a series are issuable in global
form, as specified as contemplated by SECTION 301, then any such Security shall
represent such of the Outstanding Securities of such series as shall be
specified therein and may provide that it shall represent the aggregate amount
of Outstanding Securities from time to time endorsed thereon and that the
aggregate amount of Outstanding Securities represented thereby may from time to
time be reduced to reflect exchanges. Any endorsement of a Security in global
form to reflect the amount, or any increase or decrease in the amount, of
Outstanding Securities represented thereby

<PAGE>

shall be made by the Trustee in such manner and upon instructions given by such
Person or Persons as shall be specified therein or in the Company Order to be
delivered to the Trustee pursuant to SECTION 303 or SECTION 304. Subject to the
provisions of SECTION 303 and, if applicable, SECTION 304, the Trustee shall
deliver and redeliver any Security in permanent global form in the manner and
upon instructions given by the Person or Persons specified therein or in the
applicable Company Order. If a Company Order pursuant to SECTION 303 or SECTION
304 has been, or simultaneously is, delivered, any instructions by the Company
with respect to endorsement or delivery or redelivery of a Security in global
form shall be in writing but need not comply with SECTION 102 and need not be
accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel.

                  The provisions of the last sentence of SECTION 303 shall apply
to any Security represented by a Security in global form if such Security was
never issued and sold by the Company and the Company delivers to the Trustee the
Security in global from together with written instructions (which need not
comply with SECTION 102 and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel)
with regard to the reduction in the principal amount of Securities represented
thereby, together with the written statement contemplated by the last sentence
of SECTION 303.

                  Notwithstanding the provisions of SECTION 307, unless
otherwise specified as contemplated by SECTION 301, payment of principal of and
any premium and interest on any Security in permanent global form shall be made
to the Person or Persons specified therein.

interest on the Securities of the series may be determined by reference to an
index, formula or other method,

                                       17

such as one or more currencies, commodities, equity indices or other indices,
and the manner in which such amounts shall be determined;

                  (24)     if the principal amount payable at the Stated
Maturity of any Securities of the series will not be determinable as of any one
or more dates prior to the Stated Maturity, the amount which shall be deemed to
be the principal amount of such Securities as of any such date for any purpose
thereunder or hereunder, including the principal amount thereof which shall be
due and payable upon any Maturity other than the Stated Maturity or which shall
be deemed to be Outstanding as of any date prior to the Stated Maturity (or, in
any such case, the manner in which such amount deemed to be the principal amount
shall be determined);

                  (25)     if applicable, that the Securities of the series, in
whole or any specified part, shall be defeasible pursuant to SECTION 1302 or
SECTION 1303 or both such Sections and, if other than by a Board Resolution, the
manner in which any election by the Company to defease such Securities shall be
evidenced;

                  (26)     if applicable, that any Securities of the series
shall be issuable in whole or in part in the form of one or more Global
Securities and, in such case, the respective Depositaries for such Global
Securities, the form of any legend or legends which shall be borne by any such
Global Security in addition to or in lieu of that set forth in SECTION 202 and
any circumstances in addition to or in lieu of those set forth in the legend set
forth in SECTION 202 in which any such Global Security may be exchanged in whole
or in part for Securities registered, and any transfer of such Global Security
in whole or in part may be registered in the name or names of Persons other than
the Depositary for such Global Security or a nominee thereof;

                  (27)     any addition to or change in the Events of Default
which apply to any Securities of the series and any change in the right of the
Trustee or the requisite Holders of such Securities to declare the principal
amount thereof due and payable pursuant to SECTION 502;

                  (28)     any addition to or change in the covenants set forth
in ARTICLE TEN which applies to Securities of the series, including any
limitation on the Company's ability to incur debt, redeem stock or sell its
assets;

                  (29)     whether, under what circumstances and the currency in
which the Company will pay additional amounts as contemplated by SECTION 1007 on
the Securities of the series to any Holder who is not a United States Person(s)
(including any modification to the definition of such term) in respect of any
tax, assessment or governmental charge and, if so, whether the Company will have
the option to redeem such Securities rather than pay such additional amounts
(and the terms of any such option);

                  (30)     provisions, if any, granting special rights to
holders of Securities of the series upon the occurrence of specified events; and

                  (31)     any other terms of the series (which terms shall not
be inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture, except as permitted by
SECTION 901 or 902).

                  All Securities of such series shall be substantially identical
except as to denomination and except as may otherwise be provided in or pursuant
to the Board Resolution or

                                       18

<PAGE>

supplemental indenture referred to above and (subject to SECTION 303) set forth,
or determined in the manner provided, in the Officers' Certificate referred to
above or in any such indenture supplemental hereto.

                  If any of the terms of the series are established by action
taken pursuant to a Board Resolution, a copy of an appropriate record of such
action shall be certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the
Company and delivered to the Trustee at or prior to the delivery of the
Officers' Certificate setting forth the terms of the series.

                  The Securities shall be subordinated in right of payment to
Senior Debt as provided in ARTICLE FOURTEEN.

Section 302.      Denominations.

                  Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by SECTION 301 with
respect to the Securities of any series, any Securities of such series, other
than Securities issued in global form (which may be of any denomination), shall
be issuable in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof.

Section 303.      Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating.

                  The Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by
its Chairman of the Board, its Vice Chairman of the Board, its President or one
of its Vice Presidents, under its corporate seal reproduced thereon attested by
its Secretary or one of its Assistant Secretaries. The signature of any of these
officers on the Securities may be manual or facsimile.

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

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

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

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

                                       19

<PAGE>

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

                  The Trustee shall not be required to authenticate such
Securities if the issue of such Securities pursuant to this Indenture will
affect the Trustee's own rights, duties or immunities under the Securities and
this Indenture or otherwise in a manner that is not reasonably acceptable to the
Trustee.

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

                  Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication.

                  No Security shall be entitled to any benefit under this
Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such
Security a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for
herein executed by the Trustee by 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. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if any Security shall have been authenticated and delivered
hereunder but never issued and sold by the Company, and the Company shall
deliver such Security to the Trustee for cancellation as provided in SECTION
309, for all purposes of this Indenture such Security shall be deemed never to
have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall never be entitled to
the benefits of this Indenture.

Section 304.      Temporary Securities.

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

                  If temporary Securities of any series are issued, the Company
will cause definitive Securities of that series to be prepared without
unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Securities of that
series, the temporary Securities of such series shall be exchangeable for
definitive Securities of such series upon surrender of the temporary Securities
of such series

                                       20

<PAGE>

at the office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment for that series,
without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more
temporary Securities of any series the Company shall execute and the Trustee
shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor one or more definitive
Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and like
aggregate principal amount and tenor.

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

Section 305.      Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange.

                  The Company shall cause to be kept at an office or agency to
be maintained by the Company in accordance with SECTION 1002 a register (being
the combined register of the Security Registrar and all transfer agents
designated pursuant to SECTION 1002 for the purpose of registration of transfer
of Securities and sometimes collectively referred to as the "SECURITY REGISTER")
in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the
Company shall provide for the registration of Securities and the registration of
transfers of Securities. The Trustee is hereby appointed "SECURITY REGISTRAR"
for the purpose of registering Securities and transfers of Securities as herein
provided.

                  Except as otherwise provided in SECTION 203, or as may be
provided as contemplated by SECTION 301, upon surrender for registration of
transfer of any Security of a series at the office or agency of the Company
maintained pursuant to SECTION 1002 for such purpose in a Place of Payment for
that series, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more
new Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of like
tenor and aggregate principal amount.

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

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

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

                                       21

<PAGE>

                  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, 906 or 1107 not involving any transfer.

                  If the Securities of any series (or of any series and
specified tenor) are to be redeemed in part, the Company shall not be required
to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Securities of that series (or
of that series and specified tenor, as the case may be) during a period
beginning at the opening of business 15 days before any selection of Securities
of that series to be redeemed and ending at the close of business on the day of
the mailing of the relevant notice of redemption.

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

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

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

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

                  Upon the issuance of any new Security under this Section, the
Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other
expenses (including the fees and expenses of 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,
and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and
proportionately with any and all other Securities of that series duly issued
hereunder.

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

Section 307.      Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved.

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

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

                  (1)      The Company may elect to make payment of any
Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Securities of such series
(or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of
business on a special record date (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 prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when
deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such
Defaulted Interest as in this Clause provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a
Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be
not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the
proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of
the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the
Company of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the
Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest
and the Special Record Date therefor to be given to each Holder of Securities of
such series in the manner set forth in SECTION 106, not less than 10 days prior
to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted
Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been so mailed, such
Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Securities of
such series (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the
close of business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable
pursuant to the following Clause (2).

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

                                       23

<PAGE>

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 owner of
such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and any
premium and (subject to SECTION 305 and SECTION 307) any interest on such
Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security be
overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or
the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

Section 309.      Cancellation.

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

Section 310.      Computation of Interest.

                  Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by SECTION 301
for Securities of any series, interest on the Securities of each series shall be
computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

Section 311.      CUSIP Numbers.

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

Section 401.      Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture.

                  This Indenture shall upon Company Request cease to be of
further effect (except as to any surviving rights of registration of transfer or
exchange of Securities herein expressly provided for, and any right to receive
additional amounts, as provided in SECTION 1007), and the Trustee, at the
expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, when

                  (1)      either

                           (A)      all Securities theretofore authenticated and

which have been replaced or paid as provided in SECTION 306 and Securities for
whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and
held in trust by the Company and thereafter repaid to the Company or discharged
from such trust, as provided in SECTION 1003) have been delivered to the Trustee
for cancellation; or

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

                                    (i)      have become due and payable, or

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

within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of
notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the
Company,

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

                  (2)      the Company has paid or caused to be paid all other

of the Company to the Trustee under SECTION 607, the obligations of the Trustee
to any Authenticating Agent under SECTION 614 and, if money shall have been
deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (B) of clause (1) of this
Section, the obligations of the Trustee under SECTION 402 and the last paragraph
of SECTION 1003 shall survive such satisfaction and discharge.

Section 402.      Application of Trust Money.

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

Section 501.      Events of Default.

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

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

                  (2)      default in the payment of the principal of or any
premium on any Security of that series at its Maturity and (if so established as
contemplated by SECTION 301 in respect of that series), in the case of technical
or administrative difficulties only if such default persists for a period of
five days; or

                  (4)      default in the performance, or breach, of any
covenant or warranty of the Company in this Indenture (other than a covenant or
warranty a default in whose performance or whose breach is elsewhere in this
Section specifically dealt with or which has expressly been included in this
Indenture solely for the benefit of series of Securities other than that
series), and continuance of such default or breach for a period of 90 days after
there has been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Company by the
Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in

Section 502.      Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.

                  If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default
specified in SECTION 501(5) or 501(6)) with respect to Securities of any series
at the time Outstanding occurs and is continuing, then in every such case the
Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of that series may declare the principal amount of all
the Securities of that series (or, if any Securities of that series are Original
Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount of such
Securities as may be specified by the terms thereof) to be due and payable
immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given
by Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal amount (or specified
amount) shall become immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default
specified in SECTION 501(5) or 501(6) with respect to Securities of any series
at the time Outstanding occurs, the principal amount of all the Securities of
that series (or, if any Securities of that series are Original Issue Discount
Securities, such portion of the principal amount of such Securities as may be
specified by the terms thereof) shall automatically, and without any declaration
or other action on the part of the Trustee or any Holder, become immediately due
and payable.

                  At any time after such a declaration of acceleration with
respect to Securities of any series has been made and before a judgment or
decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as
hereinafter in this Article provided, the Holders of a majority in

                                       27

<PAGE>

principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series, by written notice
to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its
consequences if

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

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

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

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

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

                  and

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

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

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

                  The Company covenants that if

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

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

the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the
Holders of such Securities, the whole amount then due and payable on such
Securities for principal and any premium and interest and, to the extent that
payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, interest on any overdue
principal and premium and on any overdue interest, at the rate or rates
prescribed therefor in such Securities, and, in addition thereto, such further
amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection,
including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances, of
the Trustee, its agents and counsel.

                  If the Company fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon such
demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may
institute a judicial proceeding for

                                       28

<PAGE>

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

Section 504.      Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

                  In case of 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 (or lesser amount
in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities) 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 (and premium, if any) or interest) shall be
entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise,

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

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

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

                  Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the
Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder
any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the
Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to
vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceedings; provided,
however, that the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders, vote for the election
of a

                                       29

<PAGE>

trustee in bankruptcy or similar official and be a member of a creditors' or
other similar committee.

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

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

Section 506.      Application of Money Collected.

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

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

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

                  THIRD: To the Company.

Section 507.      Limitation on Suits.

                  Subject to SECTION 508, no Holder of any Security of any
series shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise,
with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee,
or for any other remedy hereunder, unless

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

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

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

<PAGE>

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

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

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

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

                  Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the
Holder of any Security shall have the right, which is absolute and
unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and any premium and
(subject to SECTIONS 305 and 307) interest on such Security on the respective
Stated Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on
the Redemption Date) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such
payment, and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such
Holder.

Section 509.      Restoration of Rights and Remedies.

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

Section 510.      Rights and Remedies Cumulative.

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

Section 511.      Delay or Omission Not Waiver.

                  No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any
Securities to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default

of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and

                                       31

<PAGE>

remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be
exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the
Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be.

Section 512.      Control by Holders.

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

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

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

Section 513.      Waiver of Past Defaults.

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

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

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

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

Section 514.      Undertaking for Costs.

                  All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any
Security by his acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed that 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, a court may require any party litigant in such suit to file an
undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and may assess costs including
reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses against any such party litigant, in the
manner and to the extent provided in the Trust Indenture Act; provided that
neither this Section nor the Trust Indenture Act shall be deemed to authorize
any court to require such an undertaking or to make such an assessment in any
suit instituted by the Company.

Section 515.      Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws.

                                       32

<PAGE>

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

                                   ARTICLE SIX

                                   THE TRUSTEE

Section 601.      Certain Duties and Responsibilities.

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

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

                  (1)      this subsection shall not be construed to limit the
effect of the first paragraph of this Section 601;

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

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

                           (b)      in the absence of bad faith on the part of
the Trustee, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the
statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any
certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the
requirements of this Indenture; but in the case of any such certificates or
opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished
to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to
determine whether they conform to the requirements of this Indenture;

                                       33

<PAGE>

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

                  (4)      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 not less than a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities relating to the time, method and place
of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or
exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Indenture
with respect to the Securities.

                  None of the provisions 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.

                  Whether therein expressly so provided, every provision of this
Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording
protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section.

Section 602.      Notice of Defaults.

                  The Trustee shall, within 90 days of an Event of Default known
to it with respect to a series of Securities, give to the Holders thereof, in
the manner provided in Section 106, notice of all Events of Default with respect
to such series known to the Trustee, unless such Events of Default shall have
been cured or waived before giving of such notice; provided, however, that
except in the case of an Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, or
premium, if any, or interest on, any of the Securities of such series or in the
making of any sinking fund payment with respect to the Securities of such
series, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long
as the board of directors, the executive committee or a committee of directors
or responsible officers of the Trustee in good faith determine that the
withholding of such notice is in the interests of the Holders thereof and
provided further that, in the case of any Default as described in Section 501(4)
with respect to Securities of such series, no such notice to Holders of Debt
Securities of such series shall be given until the 90th day after the date of
the notice specified in such Section shall have been given, Except with respect
to an Event of Default pursuant to Section 501(1), (2) or (3), the Trustee will
not be charged with knowledge of Event of Default unless written notice thereof
shall have been given to a Responsible Officer of the Corporate Trust Office by
the Company or a Holder and such notice references the Securities generally and
this Indenture.

a Board Resolution;

                  (3)      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, rely upon an Officers' Certificate;

                  (4)      the Trustee may consult with counsel of its own
selection 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;

                  (5)      the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise

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

                  (6)      the Trustee shall not be bound to make any
investigation into the 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 be
entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Company, personally
or by agent or attorney;

                  (7)      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;

                  (8)      the Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken,

it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon
it by this Indenture;

Default is received by a Responsible Officer at the Corporate Trust Office from
the Company or a Holder and such notice references the Securities generally and
this Indenture; and

                  (10)     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

                                       35

enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and each agent,
custodian and the Person employed to act hereunder.

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

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

Section 605.      May Hold Securities.

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

Section 606.      Money Held in Trust.

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

Section 607.      Compensation and Reimbursement.

                  The Company agrees

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

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

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

                                       36

<PAGE>

                  The obligations of the Company under this Section 607 to
compensate the Trustee and to pay or reimburse the Trustee for expenses,
disbursements and advances shall constitute additional indebtedness hereunder
and shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. Such
additional indebtedness shall be secured by a lien prior to that of the
Securities upon all property and funds held or collected by the Trustee, as
such, except funds held in trust for the payment of principal of, and premium,
if any, or interest on, particular Securities.

                  When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an
Event of Default specified in Section 501(5) or (6) occurs, the expenses and the
compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of
administration under any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar
law.

Section 608.      Conflicting Interests.

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

Section 609.      Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility.

                  There shall at all times be one (and only one) Trustee
hereunder with respect to the Securities of each series, which may be Trustee
hereunder for Securities of one or more other series. Each Trustee shall be a
Person that is eligible pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act to act as such and
has a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 and has its Corporate
Trust Office or another office customarily used as a place of payment of
securities in New York, New York. If any such Person publishes reports of
condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of its
supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section and to
the extent permitted by the Trust Indenture Act, the combined capital and
surplus of such Person shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as
set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time
the Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall cease to be
eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, it shall resign
immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this
Article.

Section 610.      Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor.

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

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

                                       37

<PAGE>

any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee
with respect to the Securities of such series.

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

                  If at any time:

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

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

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

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

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

                                       38

<PAGE>

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

Section 611.      Acceptance of Appointment by Successor.

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

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

                  Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Company shall
execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and
confirming to such successor Trustee

                                       39

<PAGE>

all such rights, powers and trusts referred to in the first or second preceding
paragraph, as the case may be.

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

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

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

Section 613.      Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company.

                  If and when the Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the
Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities), the Trustee shall be subject
to the provisions of Section 311 of the Trust Indenture Act, but only to the
extent therein specified, regarding the collection of claims against the Company
(or any such other obligor). For purposes of Section 311(b)(4) and (6) of such
Act, the following terms shall mean:

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

                  (b)      "SELF-LIQUIDATING PAPER" means any draft, bill of
exchange, acceptance or obligation which is made, drawn, negotiated or incurred
by the Company 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 614.      Appointment of Authenticating Agent.

                  The Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents with
respect to one or more series of Securities which shall be authorized to act on
behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Securities of such series issued upon
original issue and upon exchange, registration of transfer or partial redemption
thereof or pursuant to SECTION 306, and Securities so authenticated shall be
entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory

                                       40

<PAGE>

for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. Any such
appointment shall be evidenced by an instrument in writing signed by a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee, and a copy of such instrument shall be
promptly furnished to the Company. Wherever reference is made in this Indenture
to the authentication and delivery of Securities by the Trustee or the Trustee's
certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include
authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent
and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an
Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the
Company and shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business
under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the
District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to act as Authenticating Agent,
having a combined capital and surplus of not less than $50,000,000 and subject
to supervision or examination by Federal or State authority. If such
Authenticating Agent publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant
to law or to the requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then
for the 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 under this Section, without the execution or filing of any
paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent.

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

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

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

                                       41

<PAGE>

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

                                    The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A.,
                                    As Trustee

                                    By: ________________________________________
                                           As Authenticating Agent

                                    By: ________________________________________
                                           Authorized Officer"

                  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 an
Authenticating Agent having an office in a Place of Payment designated by the
Company with respect to such series of Securities.

Indenture Act.

reasonably practicable, the names and addresses of Holders contained in the most
recent list furnished to the Trustee as provided in SECTION 701 and the names

                  The rights of Holders to communicate with other Holders with
respect to their rights under this Indenture or under the Securities, and the
corresponding rights and privileges of the Trustee, shall be as provided by the
Trust Indenture Act.

                  Every Holder of Securities, by receiving and holding the same,
agrees with the Company and the Trustee that neither the Company nor the Trustee
nor any agent of either of them shall be held accountable by reason of the
disclosure of any such information as to the names and addresses of the Holders
in accordance with this SECTION 702, regardless of the source from which such
information was derived, and that the Trustee shall not be held accountable by
reason of mailing any material pursuant to a request made under this SECTION
702. The Company, the Trustee, the Security Registrar and any other Person shall
have the protection of Section 312(c) of the Trust Indenture Act.

Section 703.      Reports by Trustee.

                  The Trustee shall transmit to Holders such reports concerning

which any Securities are listed, with the Commission and with the Company. The
Company will notify the Trustee when any Securities are listed on any stock
exchange or delisted therefrom.

                  (1)      The Company covenants and agrees, and any obligor
hereunder shall covenant and agree, to file with the Trustee and the Holders,
(in the manner and to the extent provided in SECTION 703), within 15 days after
the Company or such obligor, as the case may be, is required to file the same
with the Commission, copies of the annual reports and of the information,
documents and other reports (or copies of such portions of any of the foregoing
as the Commission may from time to time by rules and regulations prescribe)
which the Company or such obligor, as the case may be, may be required to file
with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act,
or if the Company or such obligor, as the case may be, is not required to file
information, documents or reports pursuant to either of such Sections, then to
file with the Trustee and the Holders (in the manner and to the extent provided
in SECTION 703) and the Commission, in accordance with the rules and regulations
prescribed from time to time by the Commission, such of the supplementary and
periodic information, documents and reports which may be required pursuant to

hereunder shall covenant and agree, to file with the Trustee and the Holders (in
the manner and to the extent provided in SECTION 703) and the Commission, in

                  (3)      Delivery of such reports, information and documents
to the Trustee pursuant to this SECTION 704 is for informational purposes only
and the Trustee's receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of
any information contained therein or determinable from information contained
therein, including the Company's compliance with any of its covenants hereunder
(as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on the Officers'
Certificates).

                  (2)      immediately after giving effect to such transaction
and treating any indebtedness which becomes an obligation of the Company or any
Subsidiary as a result of such transaction as having been incurred by the
Company or such Subsidiary at the time of such

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

                  (3)      if, as a result of any such consolidation or merger
or such conveyance, transfer or lease, properties or assets of the Company would
become subject to a mortgage, pledge, lien, security interest or other
encumbrance which would not be permitted by this Indenture, the Company or such
successor Person, as the case may be, shall take such steps as shall be
necessary effectively to secure the Securities equally and ratably with (or
prior to) all indebtedness secured thereby; and

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

Section 802.      Successor Substituted.

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

                             SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES

Section 901.      Supplemental Indentures Without Consent of Holders.

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

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

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

                                       45

<PAGE>

                  (3)      to add any additional Events of Default for the
benefit of the Holders of all or any series of Securities (and if such
additional Events of Default are to be for the benefit of less than all series
of Securities, stating that such additional Events of Default are expressly
being included solely for the benefit of such series); or

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

                  (5)      to secure the Securities; or

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

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

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

Section 902.      Supplemental Indentures With Consent of Holders.

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

                  (1)      change the Stated Maturity of the principal of, or
any installment of principal of or interest on, any Security, or reduce the
principal amount thereof or the rate of interest thereon or any premium payable
upon the redemption thereof, or change any obligation of the Company to pay
additional amounts pursuant to SECTION 1007 (except as contemplated by SECTIONS
801 and 802 and permitted by SECTION 901(1)), or reduce the amount of the
principal of an Original Issue Discount Security or any other Security which
would be due and payable upon a declaration of acceleration of the Maturity
thereof pursuant to SECTION 502, or change any Place of Payment where, or the
coin or currency in which, any Security or any premium or interest

                                       46

<PAGE>

thereon is payable, or impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of
any such payment on or after the Stated Maturity thereof (or, in the case of
redemption, on or after the Redemption Date), or modify the provisions of this
Indenture with respect to the subordination of the Securities in a manner
adverse to the Holders, or

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

                  (3)      change any obligation of the Company to maintain an
office or agency in the places and for the purposes specified in SECTION 1002,
or

                  (4)      modify any of the provisions of this Section, SECTION
513 or SECTION 1006, except to increase any such percentage or to provide that
certain other provisions of this Indenture cannot be modified or waived without
the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security affected thereby;
provided, however, that this clause shall not be deemed to require the consent
of any Holder with respect to changes in the references to "THE TRUSTEE" and
concomitant changes in this Section and SECTION 901, or deletion of this
proviso, in accordance with the requirements of SECTIONS 611 and 901(7).

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

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

Section 903.      Execution of Supplemental Indentures.

                  In executing, or accepting the additional trusts created by,
any supplemental indenture permitted by this Article or the modifications
thereby of the trusts created by this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled
to receive, and (subject to SECTION 601) shall be fully protected in relying
upon, an 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 owner's rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture
or otherwise.

Section 904.      Effect of Supplemental Indentures.

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

Section 905.      Conformity with Trust Indenture Act.

                  Every supplemental indenture executed pursuant to this Article
shall conform to the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act.

Section 906.      Reference in Securities to Supplemental Indentures.

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

                                  ARTICLE TEN

                                    COVENANTS

Section 1001.     Payment of Principal, Premium and Interest.

                  The Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of Holders of
each series of Securities that it will duly and punctually pay the principal of
and any premium and interest on the Securities of that series in accordance with
the terms of the Securities and this Indenture.

Section 1002.     Maintenance of Office or Agency.

                  The Company will maintain in each Place of Payment for any
series an office or agency where Securities of that series may be presented or
surrendered for payment, where Securities of that series may be surrendered for
registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon
the Company in respect of the Securities of that series and this Indenture may
be served. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the
location, and any change in the location, of any such office or agency. If at
any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency
in respect of any series of Securities or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with
the address thereof, such presentations and surrenders of Securities of that
series may be made and notices and demands may be made or served at the
Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and the Company hereby appoints the same
as its agent to receive such respective presentations, surrenders, notices and
demands. The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other
offices or agencies where the Securities of one or more series may be presented
or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind
such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or

                                       48

<PAGE>

rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain
an office or agency in each Place of Payment for Securities of any series for
such purposes. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any
such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such
other office or agency.

Section 1003.     Money for Securities Payments to be Held in Trust.

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

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

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

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

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

                                       49

<PAGE>

expense of the Company cause to be published once, in an Authorized Newspaper in
each Place of Payment, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after
a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of
such publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be
repaid to the Company.

Section 1004.     Statement by Officers as to Default.

                  The Company will deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after
the end of each fiscal year of the Company ending after the date hereof, an
Officers' Certificate, stating whether or not to the best knowledge of the
signers thereof the Company is in default in the performance and observance of
any of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Indenture (without regard to
any period of grace or requirement of notice provided hereunder) and, if the
Company shall be in default, specifying all such defaults and the nature and
status thereof of which they may have knowledge. The Company shall deliver to
the Trustee, as soon as reasonably practicable and in any event within 20 days
after the Company becomes aware of the occurrence of any Event of Default or an
event which, with notice or the lapse of time or both, would constitute an Event
of Default, an Officers' Certificate setting forth the details of such Event of
Default or default.

Section 1005.     Existence.

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

Section 1006.     Waiver of Certain Covenants.

                  Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by SECTION 301
for Securities of such series and as contemplated by SECTION 508, the Company
may, with respect to the Securities of any series, omit in any particular
instance to comply with any term, provision or condition set forth in this
Indenture for the benefit of the Holders of such series if before the time for
such compliance the Holders of at least 50% in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of such series shall, by Act of such Holders, either
waive such compliance in such instance or generally waive compliance with such
term, provision or condition, but no such waiver shall extend to or affect such
term, provision or condition except to the extent so expressly waived, and,
until such waiver shall become effective, the obligations of the Company and the
duties of the Trustee in respect of any such term, provision or condition shall
remain in full force and effect.

Section 1007.     Additional Amounts.

                  If the Securities of a series provide for the payment of
additional amounts, the Company will pay to the Holder of any Security of such
series additional amounts as provided therein. Whenever in this Indenture there
is mentioned, in any context, the payment of the principal of or any premium or
interest on, or in respect of, any Security of any series or the net proceeds
received on the sale or exchange of any Security of any series, such mention
shall be

                                       50

<PAGE>

deemed to include mention of the payment of additional amounts provided for in
this Section to the extent that, in such context, additional amounts are, were
or would be payable in respect thereof pursuant to the provisions of this
Section and express mention of the payment of additional amounts (if applicable)
in any provisions hereof shall not be construed as excluding additional amounts
in those provisions hereof where such express mention is not made.

                  If the Securities of a series provide for the payment of
additional amounts, at least 10 days prior to the first Interest Payment Date
with respect to that series of Securities (or if the Securities of that series
will not bear interest prior to Maturity, the first day on which a payment of
principal and any premium is made), and at least 10 days prior to each date of
payment of principal and any premium or interest if there has been any change
with respect to the matters set forth in the below-mentioned Officers'
Certificate, the Company will furnish the Trustee and the Company's principal
Paying Agent or Paying Agents, if other than the Trustee, with an Officers'
Certificate instructing the Trustee and such Paying Agent or Paying Agents
whether such payment of principal of and any premium or interest on the
Securities of that series shall be made to Holders of Securities of that series
who are United States Aliens without withholding for or on account of any tax,
assessment or other governmental charge described in the Securities of that
series. If any such withholding shall be required, then such Officers'
Certificate shall specify by country the amount, if any, required to be withheld
on such payments to such Holders of Securities and the Company will pay to the
Trustee or such Paying Agent the additional amounts required by this Section.
The Company covenants to indemnify the Trustee and any Paying Agent for, and to
hold them harmless against, any loss, liability or expense reasonably incurred
without negligence or bad faith on their part arising out of or in connection
with actions taken or omitted by any of them in reliance on any Officers'
Certificate furnished pursuant to this Section.

                                 ARTICLE ELEVEN

                            REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES

Section 1101.     Applicability of Article.

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

Section 1102.     Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee.

                  The election of the Company to redeem any Securities shall be
evidenced by a Board Resolution or in another manner specified as contemplated
by SECTION 301 for such Securities. In case of any redemption at the election of
the Company of less than all the Securities of any series (including any such
redemption affecting only a single Security), the Company shall, at least 60
days prior to the Redemption Date fixed by the Company (unless a shorter notice
shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the Trustee of such Redemption
Date, of the principal amount of Securities of such series to be redeemed and,
if applicable, of the tenor of the Securities to be redeemed (unless all of the
Securities of a specified tenor are to be redeemed). In the case of any
redemption of Securities (i) prior to the expiration of any restriction on such
redemption provided in the terms of such Securities or elsewhere in this

                                       51
<PAGE>

Indenture,  or (ii) pursuant to an election of the Company which is subject to a
condition  specified in the terms of such Securities,  the Company shall furnish
the  Trustee  with an  Officers'  Certificate  evidencing  compliance  with such
restriction or condition.

Section 1103. Selection by Trustee of Securities to be Redeemed.

                  If  less  than  all the  Securities  of any  series  are to be
redeemed  (unless all the Securities of such series and of a specified tenor are
to be redeemed or unless such redemption  affects only a single  Security),  the
particular  Securities  to be redeemed  shall be selected  not more than 60 days
prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee, from the Outstanding  Securities of
such series not previously called for redemption,  by such method as the Trustee
shall deem fair and  appropriate  and which may  provide for the  selection  for
redemption  of  portions  (equal  to the  minimum  authorized  denomination  for
Securities  of that series or any integral  multiple  thereof) of the  principal
amount of  Securities of such series of a  denomination  larger than the minimum
authorized denomination for Securities of that series or of the principal amount
of global  securities of such series. If less than all of the Securities of such
series and of a specified tenor are to be redeemed, the particular Securities to
be redeemed shall be selected not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date
by the Trustee,  from the  Outstanding  Securities  of such series and specified
tenor not  previously  called for  redemption in  accordance  with the preceding
sentence.

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

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

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

Section 1104. Notice of Redemption.

                  Notice of redemption  shall be given in the manner provided in
SECTION 106 to the  Holders of  Securities  to be redeemed  not less than 30 nor
more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date.

                  All notices of redemption shall state:

                  (1) the Redemption Date,

                  (2) the Redemption Price,

                                       52
<PAGE>

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

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

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

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

                  (7) applicable CUSIP numbers, if any.

                  A notice of redemption  published as  contemplated  by SECTION
106 need not identify particular registered Securities to be redeemed.

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

Section 1105. Deposit of Redemption Price.

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

Section 1106. Securities Payable on Redemption Date.

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

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

Section 1107. Securities Redeemed in Part.

                  Any  Security  which is to be  redeemed  only in part shall be
surrendered at a Place of Payment  therefor (with, if the Company or the Trustee

satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof
or his attorney duly authorized in writing),  and the Company shall execute, and
the  Trustee  shall  authenticate  and  deliver to the  Holder of such  Security
without service  charge,  a new Security or Securities of the same series and of

Company and any  Affiliate of the Company may at any time  purchase or otherwise

indebtedness  represented  by  such  Securities.  Any  Securities  purchased  or
acquired by the Company may be delivered to the Trustee and, upon such delivery,
the indebtedness  represented  thereby shall be deemed to be satisfied.  SECTION
309 shall apply to all Securities so delivered.

                  The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by

PAYMENT",  and any payment in excess of such minimum amount  provided for by the

any sinking fund payment with respect to any Securities of such series  required
to be made  pursuant  to the  terms  of  such  Securities  as and to the  extent
provided for by the terms of such Securities; provided that the Securities to be

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

Section 1203. Redemption of Securities for Sinking Fund.

specifying  the  amount  of the  next  ensuing  sinking  fund  payment  for such
Securities  pursuant to the terms of such Securities,  the portion  thereof,  if
any,  which is to be  satisfied by payment of cash and the portion  thereof,  if
any, which is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting Securities pursuant to

of the Company in the manner  provided in SECTION 1104.  Such notice having been
duly given,  the redemption of such Securities  shall be made upon the terms and
in the manner stated in SECTIONS 1106 and 1107.

                    LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE

Section  1301.   Company's   Option  to  Effect  Legal  Defeasance  or  Covenant
                 Defeasance.

                  The  Company  may at its  option,  at any  time  elect to have
either SECTION 1302 or SECTION 1303 applied to the Outstanding Securities of any
series upon  compliance  with the  conditions  set forth  below in this  ARTICLE
THIRTEEN.

Section 1302. Legal Defeasance and Discharge.

                  Upon the Company's  exercise of the option provided in SECTION

discharged  from its obligations  with respect to the Outstanding  Securities of
any  series  on  the  date  the   conditions   set  forth  below  are  satisfied
(hereinafter, "LEGAL DEFEASANCE"). For this purpose, such legal defeasance means
that the  Company  shall  be  deemed  to have  paid and  discharged  the  entire
indebtedness  represented  by the  Outstanding  Securities of such series and to
have satisfied all its other obligations under the Securities of such series and
this  Indenture  insofar as the Securities of such series are concerned (and the
Trustee,  at the  expense  of the  Company,  shall  execute  proper  instruments
acknowledging  the same),  except for the  following  which shall  survive until
otherwise terminated or discharged  hereunder:  (A) the rights of Holders of the
Securities  of such series to receive,  solely from the trust fund  described in
SECTION 1304 and as more fully set forth in such Section, payments in respect of
the  principal of and any premium and interest on the  Securities

prior exercise of its option under SECTION 1303.

Section 1303. Covenant Defeasance.

                  Upon the Company's  exercise of the option provided in SECTION
1301  applicable  to this  Section,  (i) the Company  shall be released from its
obligations  with respect to the  Securities  of such series under  SECTION 801,
SECTION 1006 and SECTION 1007 and any covenants provided pursuant to SECTION 301
for the  benefit of the  Holders of such  Securities  (to the extent so provided
pursuant  to  SECTION  301) and (ii) the  occurrence  of an event  specified  in
SECTIONS  501(3) or (4) shall  not be  deemed to be an Event of  Default  on and
after the date the  conditions  set  forth  below  are  satisfied  (hereinafter,
"COVENANT  DEFEASANCE").  For this purpose,  such covenant defeasance means that
the Company may omit to comply  with and shall have no  liability  in respect of
any  term,  condition  or  limitation  set forth in any such  Section  or clause
whether  directly or indirectly by reason of any reference  elsewhere  herein to
any such Section or clause or by reason of any  reference in any such Section or
clause to any other provision herein or in any other document, but the remainder
of this Indenture and such Securities shall be unaffected thereby.

Section 1304. Conditions to Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

                  The following shall be the conditions to application of either
SECTION 1302 or SECTION 1303 to the then Outstanding Securities of any series:

                  (1) The Company shall  irrevocably have deposited or caused to
be deposited with the Trustee (or another trustee satisfying the requirements of
SECTION  609 who  shall  agree to comply  with the  provisions  of this  ARTICLE
THIRTEEN applicable to it) as trust funds in trust for the purpose of making the
following  payments  specifically  pledged as security for, and dedicated solely
to, the benefit of the Holders of the Securities of such series, (A) money in an
amount,  or (B) Government  Obligations  which through the scheduled  payment of
principal and interest in respect  thereof in  accordance  with their terms will
provide, not later than one day before the due date of any payment,  money in an
amount, or (C) a combination thereof, sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally
recognized  firm of independent  public  accountants or a nationally  recognized
investment banking firm expressed in a written  certification  thereof delivered
to  the  Trustee,   (if  such  firms  at  such  time  customarily  deliver  such
certifications,  and,  if not,  such  certification  may be from  the  principal
financial  officer of the  Company),  to pay and  discharge,  and which shall be
applied by the Trustee (or other qualifying  trustee) to pay and discharge,  the
principal  of,  premium,  if  any,  and  each  installment  of  interest  on the
Securities on the Stated  Maturity of such  principal or installment of interest
in accordance  with the terms of this  Indenture  and of the  Securities of such
series. For this purpose,  "GOVERNMENT  OBLIGATIONS"  means, with respect to any
series  of  Securities,  securities  that  are  (x)  direct  obligations  of the
government that issued the currency in which such series is denominated  (or, if
such series is  denominated  in euro,  the direct  obligations of any government
that is a member of the  European  Monetary  Union) for the payment of which its
full faith and credit is pledged or (y)  obligations

                                       56
<PAGE>

of  a  Person   controlled   or  supervised  by  and  acting  as  an  agency  or
instrumentality  of such  government  the  payment  of which is  unconditionally
guaranteed as a full faith and credit  obligation by such government,  which, in
either case,  are not callable or redeemable at the option of the issuer thereof
and shall also  include a  depositary  receipt  issued by a bank (as  defined in
Section  3(a)(2)  of the  Securities  Act)  as  custodian  with  respect  to any
Government  Obligation  where the relevant  government  is the United  States of
America or a specific payment of principal of or interest on any such Government
Obligation  held by  such  custodian  for  the  account  of the  holder  of such
depositary receipt,  provided that (except as required by law) such custodian is
not  authorized to make any deduction  from the amount  payable to the holder of
such depository  receipt from any amount received by the custodian in respect of
such Government  Obligation or the specific  payment of principal of or interest
on such Government Obligation evidenced by such depository receipt.

                  (2) In the event of an election to have  SECTION 1302 apply to
any  Securities  or any series of  Securities,  as the case may be, the  Company
shall have  delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel  stating that (x) the
Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal  Revenue
Service a  ruling,  or (y)  since  the date of this  Indenture  there has been a
change in the  applicable  Federal  income tax law, in either case to the effect
that,  and based thereon such opinion  shall  confirm  that,  the Holders of the
Outstanding  Securities  of such  series  will  not  recognize  gain or loss for
Federal  income  tax  purposes  as a  result  of such  deposit,  defeasance  and
discharge and will be subject to Federal  income tax on the same amount,  in the
same  manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such  deposit,
defeasance and discharge had not occurred.

                  (3) In the event of an election to have  SECTION 1303 apply to
any  Securities  or any series of  Securities,  as the case may be, the  Company
shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the
Holders of the Outstanding  Securities of such series will not recognize gain or
loss for Federal  income tax  purposes as a result of such  deposit and covenant
defeasance and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amount,  in the
same  manner and at the same  times as would have been the case if such  deposit
and covenant defeasance had not occurred.

                  (4)  The  Company  shall  have  delivered  to the  Trustee  an
Officers'  Certificate  and an Opinion of  Counsel,  together  stating  that all
conditions  precedent provided for relating to either the legal defeasance under
SECTION 1302 or the covenant  defeasance under SECTION 1303 (as the case may be)
have been complied with.

                  (5) Such legal  defeasance  or covenant  defeasance  shall not
result in the trust arising from such deposit constituting an investment company
as defined in the Investment Company Act, or such trust shall be qualified under
such act or exempt from regulation thereunder.

                  (6) At the time of such deposit, (A) no default in the payment
of any  principal  of or  premium  or  interest  on any  Senior  Debt shall have
occurred and be  continuing,  (B) no event of default with respect to any Senior
Debt shall have resulted in such Senior Debt becoming, and continuing to be, due
and payable  prior to the date on which it would  otherwise  have become due and
payable (unless payment of such Senior Debt has been made or duly provided for),
and (C)

                                       57
<PAGE>

no other event of default  with  respect to any Senior Debt shall have  occurred
and be continuing permitting (after notice or lapse of time or both) the holders
of such  Senior Debt (or a trustee on behalf of such  holders)  to declare  such
Senior Debt due and payable prior to the date on which it would  otherwise  have
become due and payable or; in the case of either  clause (A),  (B) or (C) above,
each such  default or event of default  shall have been cured or waived or shall
have ceased to exist.

Section 1305.  Deposited  Money and Government  Obligations to be Held in Trust;
               Other Miscellaneous Provisions.

                  Subject to the  provisions  of the last  paragraph  of SECTION
1003, all money and  Government  Obligations  (including  the proceeds  thereof)
deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying  trustee (solely for purposes of
this  Section and  SECTION  1306,  the  Trustee  and any such other  trustee are
referred to  collectively,  for purposes of this SECTION 1305, as the "TRUSTEE")
pursuant to SECTION  1304 in respect of the  Securities  of such series shall be
held in trust and applied by the Trustee,  in accordance  with the provisions of
such  Securities  of such  series and this  Indenture,  to the  payment,  either
directly or through any Paying Agent  (including  the Company  acting as its own
Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine,  to the Holders of the Securities of
such  series,  of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal
(and premium,  if any) and interest,  but such money need not be segregated from
other funds except to the extent required by law.

                  The Company shall pay and  indemnify  the Trustee  against any
tax,  fee  or  other  charge  imposed  on or  assessed  against  the  Government
Obligations  deposited  pursuant to SECTION 1304 or the  principal  and interest
received in respect  thereof  other than any such tax, fee or other charge which
by law is for the account of the Holders of the Outstanding Securities.

                  Anything   in   this   ARTICLE   THIRTEEN   to  the   contrary
notwithstanding,  the Trustee  shall  deliver or pay to the Company from time to
time upon  Company  Request any money or  Government  Obligations  held by it as
provided in SECTION 1304 which,  in the opinion of a nationally  recognized firm
of independent public accountants (or a nationally recognized investment banking
firm  or the  principal  financial  officer  of  the  Company,  as  appropriate)
expressed in a written  certification  thereof delivered to the Trustee,  are in
excess of the amount  thereof  which would then be required to be  deposited  to
effect an equivalent legal defeasance or covenant defeasance.

Section 1306. Reinstatement.

                  If the  Trustee  or the  Paying  Agent is  unable to apply any
money in accordance with SECTION 1302 or 1303 by reason of any order or judgment
of any court or  governmental  authority  enjoining,  restraining  or  otherwise
prohibiting  such  application,   then  the  Company's  obligations  under  this
Indenture and the  Securities of such series shall be revived and  reinstated as
though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this ARTICLE THIRTEEN until such time
as the  Trustee  or  Paying  Agent  is  permitted  to apply  all  such  money in
accordance  with SECTION 1302 or 1303;  provided,  however,  that if the Company
makes any  payment of  principal  of (and  premium,  if any) or  interest on any
Security  following the  reinstatement of its obligations,  the Company shall

                                       58
<PAGE>

be subrogated  to the rights of the Holders of the  Securities of such series to
receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or the Paying Agent.

Section 1307. Deposited Money and Government Obligations to be Held in Trust.

                  Subject to the  provisions  of the last  paragraph  of SECTION
1003, all money and Government Obligations (or other property as may be provided
pursuant to SECTION 301)  (including  the proceeds  thereof)  deposited with the
Trustee  pursuant  to SECTION  1304 in respect of any  Securities  of any series
shall be held in trust  and  applied  by the  Trustee,  in  accordance  with the
provisions  of such  Securities  and  this  Indenture,  to the  payment,  either
directly or through any Paying Agent  (including  the Company  acting as its own
Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Securities of
all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium, if any,
and  interest,  if any, but such money need not be  segregated  from other funds
except as provided herein and except to the extent required by law.

                                ARTICLE FOURTEEN

                           SUBORDINATION OF SECURITIES

Section 1401. Securities Subordinate to Senior Debt.

                  The  Company   covenants  and  agrees,   and  each  Holder  of
Securities of any series by the Holder's acceptance thereof,  likewise covenants
and agrees,  that, to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth in this
Article,  subject to the  provisions  of ARTICLE  FOUR and ARTICLE  THIRTEEN and
except as may  otherwise  be specified  as  contemplated  by SECTION 301 and set
forth  in the  Securities  of a  series,  the  indebtedness  represented  by the
Securities  of such series and the payment of the  principal  of and any premium
and  interest  on each  and all of the  Securities  of such  series  are  hereby
expressly made  subordinate  and junior in right of payment to the prior payment
in full of all amounts then due and payable in respect of all Senior Debt of the
Company and that the  subordination is for the benefit of and enforceable by the
holders of the Senior Debt. For the avoidance of doubt, a supplemental indenture
adopted  pursuant to Section 301(11) hereof  establishing a series of Securities
may provide  provisions  relating the  subordination  of that series that differ
from, add to,  diminish from, or replace in their entirety all of the provisions
of this ARTICLE  FOURTEEN with respect to such series of Securities and identify
the same or  different  Senior  Debt for each  series of  Securities  hereunder,
including  provisions  subordinating a series of Securities to any and all other
series of Securities.  No provision of this Article shall prevent the occurrence
of any default or Event of Default hereunder.

                  Senior  Debt  shall  not be  deemed  to have been paid in full
unless  the  holders  thereof  shall have  received  cash,  securities  or other
property equal to the amount of such Senior Debt then outstanding.

Section 1402. Payment Over of Proceeds Upon Dissolution, Etc.

                  In the event of:

                  (i) any  insolvency,  bankruptcy,  receivership,  liquidation,
reorganization,  readjustment,  composition or other similar proceeding relating
to the Company or its property,

                                       59
<PAGE>

                  (ii) any proceeding for the liquidation,  dissolution or other
winding up of the Company,  whether  voluntary  or  involuntary,  or  bankruptcy
proceedings,

                  (iii) any  assignment  by the  Company  for the benefit of its
creditors, or

                  (iv) any other marshalling of the assets of the Company,

all Senior Debt shall first be paid in full before any payment or  distribution,
whether in cash,  securities or other property,  shall be made by the Company on
account of the Securities of any series. Any payment or distribution, whether in
cash,  securities or other property (other than securities of the Company or any
other  corporation  provided for by a plan or  reorganization or a readjustment,
the payment of which is  subordinate,  at least to the extent  provided in these
subordination  provisions  with  respect to the  indebtedness  evidenced  by the
Securities  of any  series,  to the  payment  of all  Senior  Debt  at the  time
outstanding and to any securities  issued in respect thereof under any such plan
of  reorganization  or  readjustment),  which  would  otherwise  (but for  these
subordination provisions) be payable or deliverable in respect to the Securities
of any series shall be paid or delivered  directly to the holders of Senior Debt
in accordance  with the  priorities  then existing  among such holders until all
Senior  Debt  shall have been paid in full.  No present or future  holder of any
Senior Debt shall be  prejudiced  in the right to enforce  subordination  of the
indebtedness  constituting the Securities of any series by any act of failure to
act on the part of the Company.

Section 1403. Default on Senior Debt.

                  If the Company defaults in the payment of any principal of (or
premium, if any) or interest on any Senior Debt when it becomes due and payable,
whether at  maturity  or at a date fixed for  prepayment  or by  declaration  or
otherwise,  then,  unless and until such default is cured or waived or ceases to
exist, the Company shall make no direct or indirect payment (in cash,  property,
securities,   by  set-off  or  otherwise,   but  excluding  payments  in  Junior
Securities)  in respect of the principal of or interest on the Securities of any
series  or  in  respect  of  any  redemption,   retirement,  purchase  or  other
requisition of any Securities of any series.

Section 1404. Acceleration of Securities.

                  In the  event  of the  acceleration  of  the  maturity  of the
Securities  of any  series,  the holders of all senior  debt  securities  of the
Company  outstanding at the time of such  acceleration,  subject to any security
interest,  shall first be entitled to receive payment in full of all amounts due
on such senior debt  securities  before the  holders of the  Securities  of such
series shall be entitled to receive any payment of principal  (and  premium,  if
any) or interest on the Securities of such series, other than payments in Junior
Securities.

Section 1405. Payments to be held in Trust.

                  If any payment or  distribution  under the  Securities  of any
series is received by the Trustee in  contravention  of any of the terms of this
Indenture  and  before  all the Senior  Debt has been paid in full  (other  than
payments  in  Junior  Securities  to the  extent  permitted  elsewhere  in  this
Indenture),  such payment or  distribution or security will be received in trust
for the benefit of, and paid over or delivered and  transferred  to, the holders
of the Senior Debt at the time

                                       60
<PAGE>

outstanding in accordance  with the priorities  then existing among such holders
for application to the payment of all Senior Debt remaining unpaid to the extent
necessary to pay all such Senior Debt in full.

Section 1406. Subrogation to Rights of Holders of Senior Debt.

                  Upon the payment in full of all Senior Debt, the rights of the
holders of Securities of any series shall be subrogated to all the rights of any
holders  of  Senior  Debt to  receive  any  further  payments  or  distributions
applicable  to the Senior Debt until the  Securities  of such series  shall have
been paid in full, and such payments or distributions received by the Holders of
Securities of such series by reason of such subrogation,  of cash, securities or
other  property which  otherwise  would be paid or distributed to the holders of
Senior  Debt,  shall,  as between the Company and its  creditors  other than the
holders of Senior Debt,  on the one hand,  and the Holders of  Securities of any
series,  on the other,  be deemed to be a payment  by the  Company on account of
Senior Debt, and not on account of the Securities of such series.

Section 1407. Provisions Solely to Define Relative Rights.

                  The provisions of this Article are and are intended solely for
the purpose of defining the relative  rights of the Holders of Securities of any
series on the one hand and the holders of Senior Debt on the other hand. Nothing
contained in this article or elsewhere in the Indenture or in the  Securities of
such series is intended to or shall

                  (a) impair,  as among the Company,  its  creditors  other than
holders  of Senior  Debt and the  Holders  of  Securities  of such  series,  the
obligation  of the  Company,  which is absolute  and  unconditional  (and which,
subject to the rights  under this  Article  of the  holders of Senior  Debt,  is
intended to rank equally with all other general obligations of the Company),  to
pay to the Holders of  Securities  of such series the principal of (and premium,
if any) and  interest  on, the  Securities  of such  series as and when the same
shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms; or

                  (b) affect the  relative  rights  against  the  Company of the
Holders of Securities  of such series and creditors of the Company,  as the case
may be, other than the holders of Senior Debt; or

                  (c)  prevent the  Trustee or the Holder of any  Securities  of
such series 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 Debt to receive cash,  property and  securities
otherwise payable or deliverable to the Trustee or such Holder.

Section 1408. Trustee to Effectuate Subordination.

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

                                       61
<PAGE>

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

                  Without in any way limiting the  generality  of the  foregoing
paragraph,  the  holders of Senior  Debt may, at any time and from time to time,
without the consent of or notice to the Trustee or the Holders of the Securities
of any series, without incurring responsibility to the Holders of the Securities
of such series and without impairing or releasing the subordination  provided in
this Article or the  obligations  hereunder of the Holders of Securities of such
series to the holders of Senior Debt, do any one or more of the following:

                  (a) change the manner, place or terms of payment or extend the
time of  payment  of, or renew or alter,  Senior  Debt,  or  otherwise  amend or
supplement in any manner Senior Debt or any  instrument  evidencing  the same or
any agreement under which Senior Debt is outstanding;

                  (b)  sell,  exchange,  release  or  otherwise  deal  with  any
property pledged, mortgaged or otherwise securing Senior Debt;

                  (c) release any Person liable in any manner for the collection
of Senior Debt; and

                  (d) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against the
Company and any other Person.

Section 1410. Notice to Trustee.

                  The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of
any fact known to the Company which would  prohibit the making of any payment to
or by the  Trustee in respect of the  Securities  of any series  pursuant to the
provisions of this Article.  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 would  prohibit the making of any
payment to or by the Trustee in respect of any Securities of any series pursuant
to the provisions of this Article, unless and until a Responsible Officer of the
Trustee shall have received written notice thereof at its Corporate Trust Office
from the  Company  or a holder or  holders  of Senior  Debt or from any  trustee
therefor;  and,  prior to the receipt of any such written  notice,  the Trustee,
subject to the  provisions of SECTION 603,  shall be entitled in all respects to
assume that no such facts exist;  provided,  however,  that if the Trustee shall
not  have  received  the  notice  provided  for  in  this Section at least three
Business Days prior to the date upon  which by the  terms  hereof  any money may
become  payable  for  any purpose (including, without limitation, the payment of
the  principal  of  (or  premium,  if  any) or interest on any Securities of any
series), then,  anything herein  contained to the contrary  notwithstanding, the
Trustee shall have full power and authority to receive such moneys and to  apply
the same to the  purpose  for which they were  received  and shall

                                       62
<PAGE>

not be affected by any notice to the contrary  that may be received by it within
three Business Days prior to such date.

                  Subject to the provisions of SECTION 603, the Trustee shall be
entitled  to  rely  on  the  delivery  to it of a  written  notice  by a  Person
representing  himself to be a holder of Senior Debt (or a trustee  therefor)  to
establish  that such  notice  has been  given by a holder  of Senior  Debt (or a
trustee  therefor).  In the event that the Trustee determines in good faith that
further evidence is required with respect to the right of any Person as a holder
of Senior Debt to  participate in any payment of  distribution  pursuant to this
Article,  the  Trustee  may  request  such  Person to  furnish  evidence  to the
reasonable  satisfaction  of the Trustee as to the amount of Senior Debt held by
such Person,  the extent to which such Person is entitled to participate in such
payment or  distribution  and any other  facts  pertinent  to the rights of such
Person under this Article,  and if such evidence is not  furnished,  the Trustee
may defer any payment to such Person pending  judicial  determination  as to the
right of such Person to receive such payment.

Section 1411. Reliance On Judicial Order or Certificate of Liquidating Agent.

                  Upon any  payment  or  distribution  of assets of the  Company
referred to in this Article,  the Trustee,  subject to the provisions of SECTION
603,  and  the  Holders  of  Securities  of any  series  shall  be  entitled  to
conclusively  rely upon any order or decree  entered  by any court of  competent
jurisdiction in which such insolvency,  bankruptcy,  receivership,  liquidation,
reorganization,  dissolution,  winding  up or  similar  case  or  proceeding  is
pending,  or a certificate of the trustee in bankruptcy,  receiver,  liquidating
trustee, custodian, assignee for the benefit of creditors, agent or other Person
making such payment or distribution,  delivered to the Trustee or to the Holders
of  Securities  of such  series,  for the  purpose of  ascertaining  the Persons
entitled to  participate  in such  payment or  distribution,  the holders of the
Senior  Debt and other  indebtedness  of the  Company,  as the case may be,  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 1412. Trustee Not Fiduciary for Holders of Senior Debt.

                  With  respect  to the  holders  of Senior  Debt,  the  Trustee
undertakes to perform or to observe only such of its  covenants and  obligations
as are  specifically  set forth in this  Article,  and no implied  covenants  or
obligations  with  respect to the holders of such Senior Debt 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 Debt with respect to its obligations and
duties  created  hereunder  and  shall  not be  liable  to any such  holders  or
creditors if it shall  mistakenly  and in good faith pay over or  distribute  to
Holders of  Securities  of any series or to the  Company or to any other  Person
cash,  property  or  securities  to which any  holders  of Senior  Debt shall be
entitled by virtue of this Article or otherwise.

Section  1413.  Rights of  Trustee  As Holder of Senior  Debt;  Preservation  of
                Trustee's Rights.

                  The Trustee in its  individual  capacity  shall be entitled to
all the rights set forth in this  Article  with respect to any Senior Debt which
may at any time be held by it, to the same extent as any other  holder of Senior
Debt,  and  nothing in the  Indenture  shall  deprive  the Trustee of any of its
rights as such holder.

                                       63
<PAGE>

                  Nothing in this Article  shall apply to claims of, or payments
to, the Trustee under or pursuant to SECTION 607.

Section 1414. Article Applicable to Paying Agents.

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

Section 1415. Certain Conversions or Exchanges Deemed Payment.

                  For the  purposes of this Article  only,  (a) the issuance and
delivery of  securities  which are  subordinate  in right of payment to all then
outstanding  Senior Debt to substantially  the same extent as the Securities are
so subordinate ("JUNIOR SECURITIES") (or cash paid in lieu of fractional shares)
upon  conversion  or exchange of  Securities  of any series as  contemplated  by
SECTION  301,  shall not be deemed to  constitute a payment or  distribution  on
account of the  principal of or premium or interest on Securities of such series
or on account of the purchase or other  acquisition of Securities of such series
and (b) the payment, issuance or delivery of cash, property or securities (other
than  Junior  Securities  and  cash  paid  in lieu of  fractional  shares)  upon
conversion or exchange of Securities of any series shall be deemed to constitute
payment on account of the principal of such  Securities of such series.  Nothing
contained in this Article or elsewhere in the Indenture or in the  Securities of
any series is intended to or shall impair,  as among the Company,  its creditors
other than holders of Senior Debt and the Holders of  Securities  of such series
the right, which is absolute and unconditional,  of the Holder of any Securities
of such  series  to  convert  or  exchange  such  Securities  of such  series in
accordance with the terms specified as contemplated by SECTION 301.

Section 1416. Defeasance of This Article Fourteen.

                  The  subordination of the Securities  provided by this ARTICLE
FOURTEEN is expressly  made subject to the  provisions  for legal  defeasance or
covenant  defeasance  in ARTICLE  THIRTEEN  hereof and,  anything  herein to the
contrary notwithstanding, upon the effectiveness of any such legal defeasance or
covenant defeasance, the Securities than outstanding shall thereupon cease to be
subordinated pursuant to this ARTICLE FOURTEEN.

Outstanding  Securities of any series shall have requested the Trustee to call a
meeting of the Holders of Securities of such series for any purpose specified in

proposed to be taken at the  meeting,  and the  Trustee  shall not have made the
first  publication of 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

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,  for such meeting and
may call such meeting for such purposes by giving notice  thereof as provided in

at any such adjourned  meeting,  such adjourned meeting may be further adjourned

reconvened  at which a quorum is  present  as  aforesaid  may be  adopted by the
affirmative  vote of the  Holders  of a  majority  in  principal  amount  of the
Outstanding  Securities  of that  series;  provided,  however,  that,  except as
limited by the proviso to the first  paragraph of SECTION  902,  any  resolution
with respect to any consent or waiver which this  Indenture  expressly  provides
may be given by the  Holders  of not less  than 50% in  principal  amount of the
Outstanding  Securities  of a series may be adopted at a meeting or an adjourned
meeting duly convened and at which a quorum is present as aforesaid  only by the
affirmative  vote of the Holders of 50% in principal  amount of the  Outstanding
Securities of that series; and provided, further, that, except as limited by the
proviso to the first  paragraph of SECTION 902, any  resolution  with respect to

                Meetings.

                  (a)  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  of a series in regard to proof of the
holding of  Securities of such series 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

                                       66
<PAGE>

such  other  matters  concerning  the  conduct  of the  meeting as is 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 or by  having  the  signature  of the  person  executing  the proxy
witnessed or  guaranteed  by any trust  company,  bank or banker  authorized  by
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.

                  (b) 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 of Securities as provided in SECTION 1502(b), in which
case the Company or the Holders of Securities of the series 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  principal  amount of the
Outstanding Securities of such series represented at the meeting.

                  (c) At any meeting each Holder of a Security of such series or
proxy  shall be entitled  to one vote for each  $1,000  principal  amount of the
Outstanding  Securities  of such series 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 of such series or proxy.

                  (d) Any  meeting of Holders of  Securities  of any series duly
called  pursuant to SECTION  1502 at which a quorum is present may be  adjourned
from time to time by Persons  entitled to vote a majority in principal amount of
the Outstanding  Securities of such series  represented at the meeting;  and the
meeting may be held as so adjourned without further notice.

Section 1506. Counting Votes and Recording Action of Meetings.

                  The vote  upon any  resolution  submitted  to any  meeting  of
Holders of Securities  of any series shall be by written  ballots on which shall
be subscribed  the  signatures of the Holders of Securities of such series or of
their  representatives  by proxy and the principal amounts and serial numbers of
the  Outstanding  Securities  of such series 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 in  duplicate of all votes cast at the  meeting.  A record,  at least in
duplicate,  of the  proceedings  of each meeting of Holders of Securities of any
series  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  1502  and,  if
applicable,  SECTION  1504.  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.

      the Trustee a signed letter substantially in the form of Exhibit B, (C)

      direct the Securities Custodian to make, an adjustment on its books and
      records with respect to such Global Security to reflect an increase in the
      aggregate principal amount of the Securities represented by the Global
      Security, such instructions to contain information regarding the
      Depositary account to be credited with such increase, then the Trustee

      Custodian to cause, in accordance with the standing instructions and

      credited to the account of the Person specified in such instructions a
      beneficial interest in the Global Security equal to the principal amount
      of the Definitive Security so canceled. If no Global Securities are then
      outstanding and the Global Security has not been previously exchanged for
      certificated securities pursuant to Section 2.4, the Company shall issue
      and the Trustee shall authenticate, upon written order of the Company in
      the form of an Officers' Certificate, a new Global Security in the
      appropriate principal amount.

      (c) Transfer and Exchange of Global Securities.

            (i) The transfer and exchange of Global Securities or beneficial
      interests therein shall be effected through the Depositary, in accordance

      transferor of a beneficial interest in a Global Security shall deliver a
      written order given in accordance with the Depositary's procedures
      containing information regarding the Participant account of the Depositary
      to be credited with a beneficial interest in such Global Security or
      another Global Security and such account shall be credited in accordance
      with such order with a beneficial interest in the applicable Global
      Security and the account of the Person making the transfer shall be
      debited by an amount equal to the beneficial interest in the Global
      Security being transferred. Transfers by an owner of a beneficial interest
      in a Rule 144A Global Security or an IAI Global Security to a transferee
      who takes delivery of such interest through a Regulation S Global
      Security, whether before or after the expiration of the Restricted Period,
      shall be made only upon receipt by the Trustee of a certification from the
      transferor to the effect that such transfer is being made in accordance
      with Regulation S or (if available) Rule 144 under the Securities Act and
      that, if such transfer is being made prior to the expiration of

                                      -8-
<PAGE>

      the Restricted Period, the interest transferred shall be held immediately
      thereafter through Euroclear or Clearstream. In the case of a transfer of
      a beneficial interest in either a Regulation S Global Security or a Rule
      144A Global Security for an interest in an IAI Global Security, the
      transferee must furnish a signed letter substantially in the form of
      Exhibit B to the Trustee.

            (ii) If the proposed transfer is a transfer of a beneficial interest
      in one Global Security to a beneficial interest in another Global
      Security, the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date
      and an increase in the principal amount of the Global Security to which
      such interest is being transferred in an amount equal to the principal
      amount of the interest to be so transferred, and the Registrar shall
      reflect on its books and records the date and a corresponding decrease in
      the principal amount of Global Security from which such interest is being
      transferred.

            (iii) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Supplemental
      Indenture (other than the provisions set forth in Section 2.4), a Global
      Security may not be transferred as a whole except by the Depositary to a
      nominee of the Depositary or by a nominee of the Depositary to the
      Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary or by the Depositary or
      any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor
      Depositary.

            (iv) In the event that a Global Security is exchanged for Definitive
      Securities pursuant to Section 2.4 prior to the consummation of the
      Registered Exchange Offer or the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration
      Statement with respect to such Securities, such Securities may be
      exchanged only in accordance with such procedures as are substantially
      consistent with the provisions of this Section 2.3 (including the
      certification requirements set forth on the reverse of the Initial
      Securities intended to ensure that such transfers comply with Rule 144A,
      Regulation S or such other applicable exemption from registration under
      the Securities Act, as the case may be) and such other procedures as may
      from time to time be adopted by the Company.

      (d) Restrictions on Transfer of Regulation S Global Security.

            (i) Prior to the expiration of the Restricted Period, interests in a
      Regulation S Global Security may only be held through Euroclear or
      Clearstream. During the Restricted Period, beneficial ownership interests
      in a Regulation S Global Security may only be sold, pledged or transferred
      through Euroclear or Clearstream in accordance with the Applicable
      Procedures and only (A) to the Company, (B) so long as such security is
      eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A, to a person whom the selling
      holder reasonably believes is a QIB that purchases for its own account or
      for the account of a QIB to whom notice is given that the resale, pledge
      or transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A, (C) in an offshore
      transaction in accordance with Regulation S, (D) pursuant to an exemption
      from registration under the Securities Act provided by Rule 144 (if
      applicable) under the Securities Act, (E) to an IAI purchasing for its own
      account, or for the account of such an IAI, in a minimum principal amount
      of Securities of $250,000 or (F) pursuant to an effective registration
      statement under the Securities Act, in each case in accordance with any
      applicable securities laws of any state of the United States. Prior to the

                                      -9-
<PAGE>

      interest in a Regulation S Global Security to a transferee who takes
      delivery of such interest through a Rule 144A Global Security or a IAI
      Global Security shall be made only in accordance with the Applicable
      Procedures and upon receipt by the Trustee of a written certification from
      the transferor of the beneficial interest in the form provided on the
      reverse of the Initial Security to the effect that such transfer is being
      made to (i) a person whom the transferor reasonably believes is a QIB
      within the meaning of Rule 144A in a transaction meeting the requirements
      of Rule 144A or (ii) an IAI purchasing for its own account, or for the
      account of such an IAI, in a minimum principal amount of the Securities of
      $250,000. Such written certification shall no longer be required after the
      expiration of the Restricted Period. In the case of a transfer of a
      beneficial interest in a Regulation S Global Security for an interest in a
      IAI Global Security, the transferee must furnish a signed letter
      substantially in the form of Exhibit B to the Trustee.

            (ii) Upon the expiration of the Restricted Period, beneficial
      ownership interests in a Regulation S Global Security shall be
      transferable in accordance with applicable law and the other terms of the
      Indenture.

            THE HOLDER OF THIS SECURITY BY ITS ACCEPTANCE HEREOF AGREES TO
            OFFER, SELL OR OTHERWISE TRANSFER SUCH SECURITY, PRIOR TO THE DATE

            WHICH EITHER THE COMPANY OR ANY AFFILIATE OF THE COMPANY WAS THE

            AS THE SECURITIES ARE ELIGIBLE FOR RESALE PURSUANT TO RULE 144A, TO
            A PERSON IT REASONABLY BELIEVES IS A "QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER"
            AS DEFINED IN RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT THAT PURCHASES FOR
            ITS OWN ACCOUNT OR FOR THE ACCOUNT OF A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL
            BUYER TO WHOM NOTICE IS GIVEN THAT THE TRANSFER IS BEING MADE IN
            RELIANCE ON RULE 144A, (D) PURSUANT TO OFFERS AND SALES THAT OCCUR
            OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES WITHIN THE MEANING OF REGULATION S UNDER
            THE SECURITIES ACT OR (E) PURSUANT TO ANY OTHER AVAILABLE EXEMPTION
            FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT, SUBJECT TO
            THE RIGHT OF THE COMPANY AND THE TRUSTEE PRIOR TO ANY SUCH OFFER,
            SALE OR TRANSFER PURSUANT TO CLAUSES (D) OR (E) TO REQUIRE THE
            DELIVERY OF AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, CERTIFICATION AND/OR OTHER
            INFORMATION SATISFACTORY TO EACH OF THEM. THIS LEGEND WILL BE
            REMOVED UPON THE REQUEST OF THE HOLDER AFTER THE RESALE RESTRICTION
            TERMINATION DATE.

      Each Security evidencing a Global Security offered and sold to QIBs
      pursuant to Rule 144A shall bear a legend in substantially the following
      form:

            EACH PURCHASER OF THIS SECURITY IS HEREBY NOTIFIED THAT THE SELLER
            OF THIS SECURITY MAY BE RELYING ON THE EXEMPTION FROM THE PROVISIONS
            OF SECTION 5 OF THE SECURITIES ACT PROVIDED BY RULE 144A THEREUNDER.

      Each Definitive Security shall bear the following additional legend:

            IN CONNECTION WITH ANY TRANSFER, THE HOLDER WILL DELIVER TO THE
            REGISTRAR AND TRANSFER AGENT SUCH CERTIFICATES AND OTHER INFORMATION
            AS SUCH TRANSFER AGENT MAY REASONABLY REQUIRE TO CONFIRM THAT THE
            TRANSFER COMPLIES WITH THE FOREGOING RESTRICTIONS.

            (ii) Upon any sale or transfer of a Transfer Restricted Security
      that is a Definitive Security, the Registrar shall permit the Holder
      thereof to exchange such Transfer Restricted Security for a Definitive
      Security that does not bear the legends set forth above and rescind any
      restriction on the transfer of such Transfer Restricted Security if the
      Holder certifies in writing to the Registrar that its request for such
      exchange was made in reliance on Rule 144 (such certification to be in the
      form set forth on the reverse of the Initial Security).

                                      -11-

            (iii) After a transfer of any Initial Securities or Private Exchange
      Securities during the period of the effectiveness of a Shelf Registration
      Statement with respect to such Initial Securities or Private Exchange
      Securities, as the case may be, all requirements pertaining to the
      Restricted Securities Legend on such Initial Securities or such Private
      Exchange Securities shall cease to apply; provided, however, that the
      requirements that any such Initial Securities or such Private Exchange
      Securities be issued in global form shall continue to apply.

            (iv) Upon the consummation of a Registered Exchange Offer with
      respect to the Initial Securities pursuant to which Holders of such
      Initial Securities are offered Exchange Securities in exchange for their
      Initial Securities, all requirements pertaining to Initial Securities that
      Initial Securities be issued in global form shall continue to apply, and
      Exchange Securities in global form without the Restricted Securities
      Legend shall be available to Holders that exchange such Initial Securities
      in such Registered Exchange Offer.

            (v) Upon the consummation of a Private Exchange with respect to the
      Initial Securities pursuant to which Holders of such Initial Securities
      are offered Private Exchange Securities in exchange for their Initial
      Securities, all requirements pertaining to such Initial Securities that
      Initial Securities be issued in global form shall continue to apply, and
      Private Exchange Securities in global form with the Restricted Securities
      Legend shall be available to Holders that exchange such Initial Securities
      in such Private Exchange.

            (vi) Upon a sale or transfer after the expiration of the Restricted
      Period of any Initial Security acquired pursuant to Regulation S, all
      requirements that such Initial Security bear the Restricted Securities
      Legend shall cease to apply and the requirements requiring any such
      Initial Security be issued in global form shall continue to apply.

      (f) Cancellation or Adjustment of Global Security. At such time as all
beneficial interests in a Global Security have either been exchanged for
Definitive Securities, transferred, redeemed, repurchased or canceled, such
Global Security shall be returned by the Depositary to the Trustee for
cancellation or retained and canceled by the Trustee. At any time prior to such
cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Security is exchanged for
Definitive Securities, transferred in exchange for an interest in another Global
Security, redeemed, repurchased or canceled, the principal amount of Securities
represented by such Global Security shall be reduced and an adjustment shall be
made on the books and records of the Trustee (if it is then the Securities
Custodian for such Global Security) with respect to such Global Security, by the
Trustee or the Securities Custodian, to reflect such reduction.

      (g) Obligations with Respect to Transfers and Exchanges of Securities.

            (i) To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges in accordance
      with the terms of the Indenture, the Company shall execute and the Trustee
      shall authenticate, Definitive Securities and Global Securities at the
      Registrar's request.

                                      -12-
<PAGE>

            (ii) All Securities issued upon any transfer or exchange pursuant to
      the terms of the Indenture shall evidence the same debt and shall be
      entitled to the same benefits under the Indenture as the Securities
      surrendered upon such transfer or exchange.

      (h) No Obligation of the Trustee.

            (i) The Trustee shall have no responsibility or obligation to any
      beneficial owner of a Global Security, a member of, or a Participant in
      the Depositary or any other Person with respect to the accuracy of the
      records of the Depositary or its nominee or of any Participant or member
      thereof, with respect to any ownership interest in the Securities or with
      respect to the delivery to any participant, member, beneficial owner or
      other Person (other than the Depositary) of any notice (including any
      notice of redemption or repurchase) or the payment of any amount, under or
      with respect to such Securities. All notices and communications to be
      given to the Holders and all payments to be made to Holders under the
      Securities shall be given or made only to the registered Holders (which
      shall be the Depositary or its nominee in the case of a Global Security).
      The rights of beneficial owners in any Global Security shall be exercised
      only through the Depositary subject to the applicable rules and procedures
      of the Depositary. The Trustee may rely and shall be fully protected in
      relying upon information furnished by the Depositary with respect to its
      members, participants and any beneficial owners.

            (ii) The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor,
      determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer
      imposed under the Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any
      transfer of any interest in any Security (including any transfers between
      or among Depositary participants, members or beneficial owners in any
      Global Security) other than to require delivery of such certificates and
      other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so
      if and when expressly required by, the terms of the Indenture, and to
      examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the
      express requirements hereof.

      SECTION 2.4 Definitive Securities.

      (a) A Global Security deposited with the Depositary or with the Trustee as
Securities Custodian pursuant to Section 2.2 shall be transferred to the
beneficial owners thereof in the form of Definitive Securities in an aggregate
principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Global Security, in
exchange for such Global Security, only if such transfer complies with Section
2.3 and (i) the Company notifies the Trustee that the Depositary is no longer
willing or able to act as a depositary or clearing system for the Securities or
the Depositary ceases to be a "clearing agency" registered under the Exchange
Act, and a successor depositary or clearing system is not appointed by the
Company within 90 days of such notice or cessation, (ii) the Company, in its
sole discretion, notifies the Trustee in writing that it elects to cause the
issuance of Definitive Securities under the Indenture, or (iii) upon the
occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default.

      (b) Any Global Security that is transferable to the beneficial owners
thereof pursuant to this Section 2.4 shall be surrendered by the Depositary to
the Trustee, to be so transferred, in whole or from time to time in part,
without charge, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver,

                                      -13-
<PAGE>

upon such transfer of each portion of such Global Security, an equal aggregate
principal amount of Definitive Securities of authorized denominations. Any
portion of a Global Security transferred pursuant to this Section 2.4 shall be
executed, authenticated and delivered only in denominations of $1,000 of
principal amount and any integral multiple thereof and registered in such names
as the Depositary shall direct. Any certificated Initial Security in the form of
a Definitive Security delivered in exchange for an interest in the Global
Security shall, except as otherwise provided by Section 2.3, bear the Restricted
Securities Legend.

      (c) The registered Holder of a Global Security may grant proxies and
otherwise authorize any Person, including Participants and Persons that may hold
interests through Participants, to take any action which a Holder is entitled to
take under the Indenture or the Securities.

      (d) In the event of the occurrence of any of the events specified in
Section 2.4(a)(i), (ii) or (iii), the Company will promptly make available to
the Trustee a reasonable supply of Definitive Securities in fully registered
form without interest coupons.

      SECTION 2.5 Certain Events of Default. If any Event of Default with
respect to the Company specified in clauses (6) and (7) of Section 501 of the
Indenture occurs, all the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on the
Securities then outstanding shall become automatically due and payable without
any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder of
Securities.

                    [global securities legend, as applicable]

      Unless this certificate is presented by an authorized representative of
The Depository Trust Company, a New York corporation ("DTC"), to the Company (as
defined below) or its agent for registration of transfer, exchange or payment,
and any certificate issued is registered in the name of Cede & Co. or in such
other name as is requested by an authorized representative of DTC (and any
payment is made to Cede & Co. or to such other entity as is requested by an
authorized representative of DTC), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR
VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL inasmuch as the registered
owner hereof, Cede & Co., has an interest herein.

                                                               ISIN No.:[______]

      CNF Inc., a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of
Delaware (herein called the "Company," which term includes any successor Person
under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby
promises to pay to CEDE & CO., or registered assigns, the principal sum set
forth above or such other principal sum on the Schedule attached hereto (which
shall not exceed U.S.$300,000,000) on May 1, 2034, and to pay interest thereon
from April 30, 2004 or from the most recent interest payment date to which
interest has been paid or duly provided for, semiannually on May 1 and November
1 in each year, commencing November 1, 2004, at the rate of 6.70% per annum,
until the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment; provided,
however, that Additional Interest shall accrue on the Securities as provided in
the Registration Agreement if there is a Registration Default (as defined in the
Registration Agreement).

      The Company shall notify the Trustee within three Business Days after the
occurrence of a Registration Default, and Additional Interest shall be paid by
depositing with the Trustee, in trust for the benefit of the Holders entitled to
receive the Additional Interest, on or before the applicable semiannual interest
payment date, immediately available funds in sums sufficient to pay the
Additional Interest then due. The Additional Interest due shall be payable on
each interest payment date to the record Holder entitled to receive the interest
payment to be paid on such date as set forth in the Indenture.

      The interest (and Additional Interest, if any) so payable, and punctually
paid or duly provided for, on any interest payment date will, as provided in the
Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or any predecessor
thereto) is registered at the close of business on the regular record date for
such interest, which shall be the April 15 or October 15

                                      A-1

(whether or not a Business Day), as the case may be, next preceding such
interest payment date. Any such interest (and Additional Interest, if any) not
so punctually paid or duly provided for will forthwith cease to be payable to
the Holder on such regular record date and may either be paid to the Person in
whose name this Security (or any predecessor thereto) is registered at the close
of business on a special record date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest
to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of
Securities of this series not less than 10 days prior to such special record
date, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with
the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Securities of this
series may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange,
all as more fully provided in the Indenture. Interest will be computed on the
basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

      Payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest (and
Additional Interest, if any) on this Security will be made at the office or
agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in the Borough of Manhattan,
The City of New York, in such coin or currency of the United States of America
as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private
debts; provided, however, that at the option of the Company payment of interest
may be made by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as
such address shall appear in the Security Register or by wire transfer to an
account maintained by the Person entitled thereto as specified in the Security
Register, provided that such Person shall have given the Trustee written wire
instructions at least five Business Days prior to the applicable Interest
Payment Date.

      Any payment required to be made in respect of the Securities on a date
that is not a Business Day may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with
the same force and effect as if made on that date. No additional interest shall
accrue as a result of a delayed payment.

      Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Security set
forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes
have the same effect as if set forth at this place.

      Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the
Trustee referred to on the reverse hereof by manual signature, this Security
shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or
obligatory for any purpose.

                       [FORM OF REVERSE SIDE OF SECURITY]

                         6.70% Senior Debenture due 2034

      Section 1. Indenture

      The Company issued the Securities under an Indenture, dated as of March 8,
2000, between the Company and The Bank of New York (as successor to Bank One
Trust Company, National Association), as the Trustee, and Supplemental Indenture
No. 1 thereto, dated as of April 30, 2004 (collectively, the "Indenture"). The
terms of the Securities include those stated in the Indenture and those made
part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as
amended (the "Trust Indenture Act"), as in effect on the date of the Indenture.
Terms defined in the Indenture and not defined herein have the meanings ascribed
thereto in the Indenture. The Securities are subject to all terms and provisions
of the Indenture, and Securityholders are referred to the Indenture and the
Trust Indenture Act for a statement of such terms and provisions.

      The Securities are unsecured obligations of the Company initially limited
to $300,000,000 aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding. This
Security is one of the Initial Securities referred to in the Indenture. The
Securities include the Initial Securities and any Exchange Securities and
Private Exchange Securities issued in exchange for Initial Securities. The
Initial Securities, the Exchange Securities and the Private Exchange Securities
are treated as a single class of securities under the Indenture.

      Section 2. Optional Redemption

      The Securities may be redeemed at the option of the Company, in whole or
in part, at any time or from time to time. The redemption price for the
Securities to be redeemed on any redemption date will be equal to the greater
of: (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Securities being redeemed on the
redemption date; or (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining
scheduled payments of principal of and interest on the Securities being redeemed
on that redemption date (not including any portion of any payments of interest
accrued to the redemption date) discounted to the redemption date on a
semiannual basis at the Treasury Rate, plus 35 basis points, as determined by
the Quotation Agent, plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest on the
principal amount of the Securities being redeemed to the redemption date.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, installments of interest on Securities that are
due and payable on interest payment dates falling on or prior to the relevant
redemption date will be payable on the interest payment date to the registered
Holders as of the close of business on the relevant record date according to the
terms and provisions of the Securities and the Indenture. The redemption price
will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day
months.

      "Comparable Treasury Issue" means the United States Treasury security
selected by the Quotation Agent as having a maturity comparable to the remaining
term of the Securities to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of
selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new
issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term
of the Securities.

                                      A-4
<PAGE>

      "Comparable Treasury Price" means, with respect to any redemption date for
the Securities, (A) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for
such redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest such Reference
Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (B) if fewer than three such Reference Treasury
Dealer Quotations are obtained, the average of all such Quotations, or (C) if
only one Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation is received, such Quotation.

      "Quotation Agent" means a Reference Treasury Dealer appointed by the
Company.

      "Reference Treasury Dealer" means (A) Citigroup Global Markets Inc.,
Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated, ABN AMRO Incorporated, Banc of America
Securities LLC, J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. and PNC Capital Markets, Inc. (or
their respective affiliates which are Primary Treasury Dealers), and their
respective successors; provided, however, that if any of the foregoing shall
cease to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in New York City (a
"Primary Treasury Dealer"), the Company will substitute therefor another Primary
Treasury Dealer; and (B) any other Primary Treasury Dealer(s) selected by the
Company.

      "Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation" means, with respect to each
Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date, the average, as determined by
the Company, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue
(expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in
writing to the Company by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m. (New York
City time) on the third business day preceding such redemption date.

      "Treasury Rate" means, with respect to any redemption date for the
Securities, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to
maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, calculated using a price for the
Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount)
equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such redemption date.

      Section 3. Notice of Redemption

      Notice of redemption will be mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60
days before the redemption date to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed at

redemption date. Securities in denominations larger than $1,000 of principal
amount may be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of $1,000 of
principal amount. If money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued

portions thereof) called for redemption.

$1,000 and whole multiples of $1,000. A Holder may transfer or exchange
Securities in accordance with the Indenture. Upon any transfer or exchange, the
securities registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things,
to furnish appropriate endorsements or transfer documents and to pay any taxes
required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The securities registrar need not
register the transfer of or exchange any Securities selected for redemption
(except, in the case of a Security to be redeemed in part, the portion of the
Security not to be redeemed) or to transfer or exchange any Securities for a
period of 15 days prior to the mailing of a notice of redemption of Securities
to be redeemed.

the Company and not to the Trustee for payment.

      Section 8. Discharge and Defeasance

      Subject to certain conditions, the Company at any time may terminate some
of or all its obligations under the Securities and the Indenture if the Company
deposits with the Trustee money or U.S. Government Obligations for the payment
of principal of and interest on the Securities to redemption or maturity, as the
case may be.

      Section 9. Trustee Dealings with the Company

      Subject to certain limitations imposed by the Trust Indenture Act, the
Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may become
the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with and collect
obligations owed to it by the Company or its Affiliates and may otherwise deal
with the Company or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were
not Trustee.

      Section 10. No Recourse Against Others

      A director, officer, employee or stockholder, as such, of the Company
shall not have any liability for any obligations of the Company under the
Securities or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of or by
reason of such obligations or their creation. By accepting a Security, each
Securityholder waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release
are part of the consideration for the issue of the Securities.

      THE INDENTURE AND THE SECURITIES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

      Section 13. CUSIP Numbers

      Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform
Security Identification Procedures, the Company has caused CUSIP numbers to be
printed on the Securities and has directed the Trustee to use CUSIP numbers in
notices of redemption as a convenience to Securityholders. No representation is
made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or
as contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the
other identification numbers placed thereon.

      Section 14. Defined Terms.

      All terms used in this Security which are defined in the Indenture shall
have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture. All terms used in this
Security which are defined in the Registration Agreement shall have the meanings
assigned to them in the Registration Agreement.

      Section 15. Holders' Compliance with Registration Agreement

      Each Holder of a Security, by acceptance hereof, acknowledges and agrees
to the provisions of the Registration Agreement, including, without limitation,
the obligations of the Holders with respect to a registration and the
indemnification of the Company to the extent provided therein. In the event of a
conflict between the terms of this Security and the Registration Agreement, the
terms of the Registration Agreement shall control.

      The Company will furnish to any Holder of Securities upon written request
and without charge to the Holder a copy of the Indenture which has in it the
text of this Security.

Attn: Corporate Trust Administration

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This certificate is delivered to request a transfer of $_________ principal
amount of the 6.70% Senior Debentures due 2034 (the "Securities") of CNF Inc.
(the "Company").

Upon transfer, the Securities would be registered in the name of the new
beneficial owner as follows:

Name:________________________

Address:_____________________

Taxpayer ID Number:__________

The undersigned represents and warrants to you that:

1. We are an institutional "accredited investor" (as defined in Rule 501(a)(1),
(2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities
Act")), purchasing for our own account or for the account of such an
institutional "accredited investor" at least $250,000 principal amount of the
Securities, and we are acquiring the Securities not with a view to, or for offer
or sale in connection with, any distribution in violation of the Securities Act.
We have such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be
capable of evaluating the merits and risks of our investment in the Securities,
and we invest in or purchase securities similar to the Securities in the normal
course of our business. We, and any accounts for which we are acting, are each
able to bear the economic risk of our or its investment.

2. We understand that the Securities have not been registered under the
Securities Act and, unless so registered, may not be sold except as permitted in
the following sentence. We agree on our own behalf and on behalf of any investor
account for which we are purchasing the Securities to offer, sell or otherwise
transfer such Securities prior to the date that is two years after the later of
the date of original issue and the last date on which the Company or any
affiliate of the Company was the owner of such Securities (or any predecessor
thereto) (the "Resale Restriction Termination Date") only (a) to the Company,
(b) pursuant to a registration statement that has been declared effective under
the Securities Act, (c) in a transaction complying with the requirements of Rule
144A under the Securities Act ("Rule 144A"), to a person we reasonably believe
is a qualified institutional buyer under Rule 144A (a "QIB") that is purchasing
for its own account or for the account of a QIB and to whom notice is given that
the transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A, (d) in an offshore
transaction within the meaning of, and in

                                       B-1
<PAGE>

compliance with, Regulation S under the Securities Act, (e) to an institutional
"accredited investor" within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7)
under the Securities Act that is purchasing for its own account or for the
account of such an institutional "accredited investor", in each case in a
minimum principal amount of Securities of $250,000, or (f) pursuant to any other
available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act,
subject in each of the foregoing cases to any requirement of law that the
disposition of our property or the property of such investor account or accounts
be at all times within our or their control and in compliance with any
applicable state securities laws. The foregoing restrictions on resale will not
apply subsequent to the Resale Restriction Termination Date. If any resale or
other transfer of the Securities is proposed to be made pursuant to clause (e)
above prior to the Resale Restriction Termination Date, the transferor shall
deliver a letter from the transferee substantially in the form of this letter to
the Company and the Trustee, which shall provide, among other things, that the
transferee is an institutional "accredited investor" within the meaning of Rule
501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (f) under the Securities Act and that it is acquiring
such Securities for investment purposes and not for distribution in violation of
the Securities Act. Each purchaser acknowledges that the Company and the Trustee
reserve the right prior to the offer, sale or other transfer prior to the Resale
Restriction Termination Date of the Securities pursuant to clause (d), (e) or
(f) above to require the delivery of an opinion of counsel, certifications or
other information satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee.
