Capital Corporation (together with its successors and assigns, if
any,  "Secured  Party")  and the undersigned  Debtor  ("Debtor").
Secured  Party  has  a mailing address at P.0.  Box  414,  W-490,
Milwaukee, WI 53201-0414.  Debtor is a Corporation organized  and
existing  under  the  laws of the State of California.   Debtor's
mailing  address  and  chief place of business  is  21101  Oxnard
Street,  Woodland Hills, CA 91367.  This Agreement  contains  the
general  terms that apply to the financing of Equipment  (defined
below).   Additional terms that apply to the Equipment  shall  be
contained  on  a  schedule ("Schedule") and in the  GE  Equipment
Addendum or the Non-GE Equipment Addendum, as the case may be.

1.   FINANCING, TERM AND TERMINATION:

     (a)   In  the case of equipment manufactured by the  General
Electric  Company  or  its affiliates ("GE  Equipment"),  Secured
Party agrees to sell to Debtor and Debtor agrees to purchase from
Secured  Party  the GE Equipment.  In the case of  equipment  not
manufactured  by the General Electric Company or  its  affiliates
("non-GE  Equipment"), Secured Party agrees to  finance  Debtor's
purchase  of  the  non-GE  Equipment.  GE  Equipment  and  non-GE
Equipment  shall  be referred to herein as the "Equipment".   All
units  of  Equipment  and other property,  and  all  accessories,
upgrades,  additions, substitutions, replacement parts and  tools
pertaining  thereto are further described in any Schedule  signed
by both parties.

(b)  This Agreement shall be effective as of the date stated
above and, unless sooner terminated by Secured Party as
hereinafter provided, shall continue until all of Debtor's
obligations hereunder or under any Schedule(s) are fulfilled.
The term of each Schedule is as specified in the Schedule and
commences upon the Term Commencement Date (defined in
subparagraph (c) below).  In the event of a conflict between
provisions of this Agreement and a Schedule, the provisions of
the Schedule shall control.

(c)  The "Term Commencement Date" shall begin on (A) in the case
of GE Equipment, the earlier of (i) five days after the date the
Debtor is notified the Equipment has been assembled and is
operating in accordance with the manufacturer's published
performance specifications or (ii) the date the Debtor first uses
the Equipment or (B) in the case of non-GE Equipment the date
when Debtor has accepted the Equipment.  However, if the GE
Equipment's installation and availability for first use is
delayed for any reason for which the Secured Party is not
responsible, the GE Equipment's availability for first use may,
at Secured Party's discretion, be declared to be 30 days after
the date the GE Equipment is delivered.

2.    CREATION  OF SECURITY INTEREST:  Debtor grants  to  Secured
Party,  its  successors and assigns, a security interest  in  and
against   the  Equipment  and  in  and  against  all   additions,
attachments,  accessories and accessions to  such  property,  all
substitutions,  replacements  or  exchanges  therefor,  and   all
insurance and/or other proceeds thereof.  This security  interest
is  given  to  secure the payment and performance of  all  debts,
obligations and liabilities of any kind whatsoever of  Debtor  to
Secured  Party, now existing or arising in the future, from  time
to time identified on a Schedule and any renewals, extensions and
modifications of such debts, obligations and liabilities.

3.   MONTHLY INSTALLMENTS/DOWN PAYMENT:  Debtor shall pay monthly
installments to Secured Party at its address stated above, except
as otherwise directed by Secured Party.  Installments shall be in
the amount set forth in the applicable Schedule and are due in
advance beginning on the Term Commencement Date and on the same
day of each consecutive month thereafter.  If any down payment
(as stated in the Schedule) is payable, it shall be due when the
Debtor signs the Schedule.  The down payment shall be applied in
the manner set forth under such Schedule.  Subject to set-off for
payments made or expenses incurred by Secured Party, Secured
Party will refund the down payment paid by Debtor with respect to
a Schedule if the Schedule is terminated in writing, before any
part of the Equipment is delivered to the Site, (i) by Secured
Party or Debtor as a direct result of the other's material breach
of a material term or condition of that Schedule or (ii) by
mutual written agreement between the parties.  If a monthly
installment is not paid within ten days of its due date, Debtor
agrees to pay a late charge of five cents ($0.05) per dollar on.
and in addition to, the amount of such installment but not
exceeding the lawful maximum, if any.  All other payments
received by Secured Party shall first be applied to any accrued
late charge(s) and other monies due Secured Party hereunder and
then to any unpaid installments.

4.   TAXES:  If permitted by law, Debtor shall report and pay
promptly all taxes, fees and assessments due, imposed, assessed
or levied against any Equipment (or purchase, ownership,
delivery, leasing, possession, use or operation thereof), this
Agreement (or any receipts hereunder), any Schedule, Secured
Party or Debtor by any governmental entity or taxing authority
during or related to the term of this Agreement, including,
without limitation, all license and registration fees, and all
sales, use, personal property, excise, gross receipts, franchise,
stamp or other taxes, imposts, duties and charges, together with
any penalties, fines or interest thereon (collectively "Taxes").
Debtor shall have no liability for Taxes imposed by the United
States of America or any state or political subdivision thereof
which are on or measured by the net income of Secured Party.
Debtor shall promptly reimburse Secured Party (on an after tax
basis) for any Taxes charged to or assessed against Secured
Party.  Debtor shall send Secured Party a copy of each report or
return and evidence of Debtor's payment of Taxes upon request by
Secured Party.

5.   REPORTS:

     (a)  If any tax or other lien shall attach to any Equipment,
Debtor  will  notify Secured Party in writing,  within  ten  days

tear  excepted.  The Debtor shall also maintain the Equipment  in
accordance  with  manufacturer's recommendations.   Debtor  shall
make aft alterations or modifications required to comply with any
applicable  law,  rule  or regulation during  the  term  of  this
Agreement.  If Secured Party requests, Debtor shall affix plates,
tags  or  other identifying labels showing ownership  thereof  by
Debtor and Secured Party's security interest.

     (b)  Debtor will not attach or install anything on any Equip-
ment that will impair the originally intended function or use of such
Equipment without the prior written consent of Secured Party.
All additions, parts, supplies, accessories, and equipment
("Additions") furnished or attached to any Equipment that are not
readily removable shall become the property of Secured Party.
All Additions shall be made only in compliance with applicable
law.  Debtor will not attach or install any Equipment to or in
any other personal or real property without the prior written
consent of Secured Party.

7.    INSURANCE:  Debtor agrees at its own expense, to  keep  the
Equipment insured with companies acceptable to Secured Party  for
such  amounts  and  against such hazards  as  Secured  Party  may
require, including, but not limited to, all risk physical  damage
Insurance  for  the  Equipment  itself,  with  losses  under  the
policies  payable to Secured Party or its assigns,  if  any,  and
liability  coverage for personal injuries, death and/or  property
damages  on  terms satisfactory to Secured Party.  Secured  Party
and/or  its officers, agents, employees and/or successors  and/or
assigns  shall be named as an additional insured under  all  such
insurance policies with loss payable clauses under said  policies
payable in Secured Party's favor, as Secured Party's interest may
appear.   Said Equipment shall be insured for not less  than  its
stated  replacement value or such other amount as  Secured  Party
shall specify.  Said liability insurance shall be in an amount of
not  less than two million dollars ($2,000,000.00) or such  other
amount  as  Secured Party shall specify.  Debtor hereby  appoints
Secured  Party as its attorney-in-fact to make proof of loss  and
claims for insurance and to make adjustments with insurers and to
receive  payment of and execute or endorse all documents,  checks
or  drafts in connection with payments made with respect  to  the
insurance  policies.   Debtor  may  not  make  adjustments   with
insurers except with Secured Party's prior written consent.   The
policies  will provide that the insurance may not be  altered  or
canceled by the insurer until after thirty days written notice to
Secured  Party.   In the event of damage to or  toss,  secretion,
destruction  or  theft of the Equipment, or any  portion  of  the
Equipment,  whether  in  whole or in part,  Debtor  will  pay  to
Secured Party the replacement value of all Equipment, or  of  the
portion  of  the Equipment affected if the value and use  of  the
remainder of the Equipment are not affected at the time  of  such
occurrence  (except  the  extent  that  Secured  Party   receives
proceeds  of  insurance covering such Equipment).  Secured  Party
may,  at Secured Party's option, apply proceeds of insurance,  in
whole  or  in  part,  (i)  to repair or  comparably  replace  the
Equipment  or  any  portion of it, or  (ii)  to  satisfy  any  of
Debtor's obligations pursuant to this Agreement or a Schedule.

8.   ACCESS AND REMOVAL:

     (a)   The  cost  of  removal  and  turnover,  including  all
transportation, of the Equipment in the event of Debtor's default
of  a  Schedule  will be at Debtor's expense.   If  Debtor  makes
modifications to the site after the Equipment has been  installed
which  impede the removal of the Equipment, the cost of  removing
the  impediments  and  restoring the site  will  be  at  Debtor's
expense.

   (b)  If, following an event of default, Secured Party exercises
its right to demand that Debtor turn over the Equipment to
Secured Party, the Equipment will be turned over to Secured Party
or assigns, in the same condition and appearance as when received
by Debtor (reasonable wear and tear excepted) and in good working
order and condition, operable in accordance with our then
prevailing performance specifications or, in the case of non-GE
Equipment, the supplier's and, if different, the manufacturer's,
then prevailing specifications.  All waste material and fluid
must be removed from the Equipment and disposed of by Debtor in
accordance with then current waste disposal laws.  If the
Equipment is not so turned over, Secured Party, at Debtor's sole
expense, may have the Equipment restored to such a condition.  If
Secured Party so requires, the units shall be de-installed and
crated by an authorized manufacturer's representative or such
other service person as is reasonably satisfactory to Secured
Party.

9.   DEFAULT AND REMEDIES:

obligated, to effect such compliance, in whole or in  part.   All
reasonable  amounts spent and obligations incurred or assumed  by
Secured  Party  in effecting such compliance shall constitute  an
additional  installment due to Secured Party.  Debtor  shall  pay
the  additional  Installment within  five  days  after  the  date
Secured Party sends notice to Debtor requesting payment.  Secured
Party's  effecting  such compliance shall  not  be  a  waiver  of

              due at that time.

              an invoice each month as notification of the amount
              to be debited from its account.

         (iv) Debtor must provide Secured Party with written notice
              at least 30 days in advance of Debtor's intent to

              in the Agreement.  Failure to pay the periodic
              charges on or before the due date shall constitute an
              event of default under this Schedule.

              to be immediately refunded by Secured Party for the
              amount of the erroneous deduction provided that
              Debtor provides written notification of the erroneous
              deduction within 15 days after itsaccount statement is
              issued or 45 days after the monies are paid

                  WHEREAS, the Company proposes presently to issue in fully registered form only, without
coupons, $965,965,000 aggregate principal amount of a new series of the Company's First and Refunding Mortgage
Bonds, pursuant to a resolution of the Board of Directors or the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors of
the Company, said new series to be designated as Series 2003A (the "Bonds"), and the Company's authorized bonded
indebtedness has been increased to provide for the issuance of said Bonds; and

                  WHEREAS, the Company has acquired real and personal property since the execution and delivery
of the Ninety-Seventh Supplemental Indenture which, with certain exceptions, is subject to the lien of the
Amended Indenture by virtue of the after-acquired property clauses and other clauses thereof, and the Company now
desires in this Ninety-Eighth Supplemental Indenture (hereinafter sometimes referred to as this "Supplemental
Indenture") expressly to convey and confirm unto the Trustees all properties, whether real, personal or mixed,
now owned by the Company (with the exceptions hereinafter noted); and

                  WHEREAS, for the purpose of further safeguarding the rights and interests of the holders of
bonds under the Amended Indenture, the Company desires, in addition to such conveyance, to enter into certain
covenants with the Trustees; and

                  WHEREAS, the making, executing, acknowledging, delivering and recording of this Supplemental
Indenture have been duly authorized by proper corporate action of the Company, and the Trustees have each duly
determined to execute and accept this Supplemental Indenture;

                  NOW, THEREFORE, in order further to secure the payment of the principal of and interest on all
of the bonds of the Company at any time outstanding under the Amended Indenture, as from time to time amended and

                  Together with, to the extent permitted by law, all other properties, real, personal, and mixed

and wherever situated, now owned, possessed, or enjoyed, and which may hereafter be in anywise owned, possessed,
acquired, or enjoyed by the Company, shall be as fully embraced within the provisions hereof and be subject to
the lien created hereby and by the Original Indenture and said supplemental indentures executed and delivered
prior to the execution and delivery of this Supplemental Indenture, as if said properties were particularly
described herein;

                  Saving and excepting, however, anything contained herein or in the granting clauses of the
Original Indenture, or of the above mentioned Indentures supplemental thereto, or elsewhere contained in the

conduct of its business--other than any of the foregoing which has been or may be specifically transferred or
assigned to or pledged or deposited with the Trustees, or any of them, under the Amended Indenture, or required
by the provisions of the Amended Indenture, so to be; provided, however, that if, upon the occurrence of a
default under the Amended Indenture, the Trustees, or any of them, or any receiver appointed under the Amended
Indenture, shall enter upon and take possession of the mortgaged and pledged property, the Trustees, or such
Trustee or such receiver may, to the extent permitted by law, at the same time likewise take possession of any
and all of the property excepted by this paragraph then on hand which is used or useful in connection with the
business of the Company, and collect, impound, use, and administer the same to the same extent as if such
property were part of the mortgaged and pledged property and had been specifically mortgaged and pledged
hereunder, unless and until such default shall be remedied or waived and possession of the mortgaged and pledged
property restored to the Company, its successors or assigns, and provided further, that upon the taking of such
possession and until possession shall be restored as aforesaid, all such excepted property of which the Trustees,
or such Trustee or such receiver shall have so taken possession, shall be and become subject to the lien hereof,
subject, however, to any liens then existing on such excepted property.

                  And the Company does hereby covenant and agree with the Trustees, and the Trustees with the
Company, as follows:

                                                      PART I

                  The Trustees shall have and hold all and singular the properties conveyed, assigned, mortgaged
and pledged hereby or by the Amended Indenture, including property hereafter as well as heretofore acquired, in
trust for the equal and proportionate benefit and security of all present and future holders of the bonds and
interest obligations issued and to be issued under the Amended Indenture, as from time to time amended and
supplemented, without preference of any bond over any other bond by reason of priority in date of issuance,
negotiation, time of maturity, or for any other cause whatsoever, except as otherwise in the Amended Indenture,
as from time to time amended and supplemented, permitted, and to secure the payment of all bonds now or at any
time hereafter outstanding under the Amended Indenture, as from time to time amended and supplemented, and the
performance of and compliance with the covenants and conditions of the Amended Indenture, as from time to time
amended and supplemented, and under and subject to the provisions and conditions and for the uses set forth in
the Amended Indenture, as from time to time amended and supplemented.

                                                      PART II

                  Article I to Article Twenty-One, inclusive, of the Amended Indenture are hereby incorporated by
reference herein and made a part hereof as fully as though set forth at length herein.

                                                     PART III

                  All of the terms appearing herein shall be defined as the same are now defined under the
provisions of the Amended Indenture, except when expressly herein otherwise defined.

                                                      PART IV

                  Pursuant to Section 1 of Article Five of the Original Indenture, as amended by Part IV, Subpart
C, of the Sixth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of September 1, 1940, the notice to be given with respect to the
redemption of the Bonds in whole or in part, shall be limited to and shall consist of the giving by the Company
or The Bank of New York, Trustee, of a notice in writing (including by facsimile transmission) of such
redemption, at least 30 days, but not more than 60 days, prior to the date fixed for redemption to the holder of
each Bond called for redemption at the holder's last address shown on the registry books of the Company.  Failure
to so provide such notice to the holder of any Bond shall not affect the validity of the redemption proceedings
with respect to any other Bond.

Page 5

                                                      PART V

                  The Bonds shall be in substantially the form set forth in a resolution of the Board of
Directors or the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company, and may have placed thereon such
letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such legends or endorsements as set forth in this
Supplemental Indenture or as may be required to comply with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act"), any other laws, Rule 144A under the Securities Act ("Rule 144A"), Regulation S under the
Securities Act ("Regulation S"), any other rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission or any securities
exchange, or as may, consistently herewith, be determined to be necessary or appropriate by the officers
executing the Bonds, as evidenced by their execution of the Bonds.  The Bonds will be issued in minimum
denominations of $250,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

                  Bonds which initially were acquired by qualified institutional buyers as defined in Rule 144A
shall initially be represented by one or more securities in registered, global form without interest coupons
("Rule 144A Global Bonds").  Bonds which initially were acquired in offshore transactions in reliance on
Regulation S shall initially be represented by one or more separate securities in registered, global form without
interest coupons ("Regulation S Global Bonds").  The Rule 144A Global Bonds and the Regulation S Global Bonds are
collectively referred to herein as "Global Bonds".  Each certificate for Global Bonds shall represent the
aggregate principal of outstanding Bonds from time to time endorsed thereon and the aggregate principal amount of
outstanding Bonds represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as appropriate, to reflect
exchanges and redemptions.  Any endorsement of a Global Bond certificate to reflect the amount of any increase or
decrease in the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Bonds represented thereby shall be made by BNY Midwest
Trust Company, as Agent for The Bank of New York, Trustee, as registrar for the Bonds (the "Bond Registrar"), in
accordance with instructions given by the registered holder thereof.

                  The Company initially appoints The Depository Trust Company ("DTC") to act as depositary with
respect to the Global Bonds (together with any successor, the "Depositary").  Each certificate representing
Global Bonds shall bear a legend in substantially the following form (the "Global Bond Legend"):

                  UNLESS THIS CERTIFICATE IS PRESENTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DEPOSITORY TRUST
                  COMPANY, A NEW YORK CORPORATION ("DTC"), TO SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EDISON COMPANY OR ITS AGENT FOR
                  REGISTRATION OR 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.

                  Beneficial interests may not be exchanged between the Rule 144A Global Bonds and the
Regulation S Global Bonds except in the limited circumstances set forth below in this Supplemental Indenture.
Beneficial interests in the Global Bonds may not be exchanged for Bonds in certificated form ("Certificated
Bonds") except in the limited circumstances set forth below in this Supplemental Indenture.  Certificates
representing Certificated Bonds will not bear the Global Bond Legend.

                  Except as set forth in this Supplemental Indenture, each certificate evidencing the Global
Bonds or the Certificated Bonds (and any Bonds issued in exchange therefor or substitution thereof) shall bear a
legend in substantially the following form (the "Private Placement Legend"):

                  THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS
                  AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT"), AND THESE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED OR

Page 6

                  OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE
                  SECURITIES ACT OR OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES IN COMPLIANCE WITH REGULATION S UNDER THE
                  SECURITIES ACT AND, IN EACH CASE, IN ACCORDANCE WITH ANY APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY
                  STATE OF THE UNITED STATES OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

                                                      PART VI

                  The transfer and exchange of Global Bonds or beneficial interests in Global Bonds shall be
effected through the Depositary, in accordance with the terms of the Amended Indenture (including the
restrictions on transfer set forth herein) and the procedures of the Depositary, which shall include restrictions
on transfer comparable to those set forth herein to the extent required by the Securities Act.

                  Prior to the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period (as defined in Regulation S),
beneficial interests in Regulation S Global Bonds may be exchanged for beneficial interests in Rule 144A Global
Bonds only if (a) such exchange occurs in connection with a transfer of such Bonds pursuant to Rule 144A; and
(b) the transferor first delivers to the Bond Registrar a written certificate to the effect that the Bonds are
being transferred to a person (i) who the transferor reasonably believes to be a qualified institutional buyer
within the meaning of Rule 144A, (ii) purchasing for its own account or the account of a qualified institutional
buyer in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A, and (iii) in accordance with all applicable
securities laws of the states of the United States and other jurisdictions.

                  Beneficial interests in Rule 144A Global Bonds may be transferred to a person who takes
delivery in the form of an interest in Regulation S Global Bonds, whether before or after the expiration of the
Distribution Compliance Period, only if the transferor first delivers to the Bond Registrar a written certificate
to the effect that such transfer is being made in accordance with Rule 903 or 904 of Regulation S or Rule 144 (if
available) and that, if such transfer occurs prior to the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period, the
interest transferred will be held immediately thereafter through Euroclear or Clearstream.

                  A Global Bond may be exchanged for Certificated Bonds if (a) the Depositary for the Global Bond
notifies the Company that the Depositary is unwilling or unable to continue as to act as Depositary for the
Global Bond or has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and in
either case the Company fails to appoint a successor Depositary within 90 days after delivery of such notice;
(b) the Company notifies the Bond Registrar in writing that it has elected to cause the issuance of Certificated
Bonds; or (c) there has occurred and is continuing a default with respect to the Bonds under the Amended
Indenture.  Certificated Bonds delivered in exchange for any Global Bond or beneficial interests in Global Bonds
will be executed by the Company, authenticated by The Bank of New York, as Trustee, registered in the names, and
issued in any approved denominations, requested by or on behalf of the Depositary (in accordance with its
customary procedures) and will bear the Private Placement Legend, unless evidence is provided satisfactory to the
Company and the Bond Registrar demonstrating that the Private Placement Legend is not required by applicable law.

                  When Certificated Bonds are presented to the Bond Registrar with a request to register the
transfer of the Certificated Bonds or to exchange such Certificated Bonds for an equal principal amount of
Certificated Bonds of other authorized denominations, the Bond Registrar shall register the transfer or make the
exchange as requested if its requirements for such transactions are met; provided, however, that if such
Certificated Bonds are subject to the Private Placement Legend, such Certificated Bonds, shall be accompanied by
the following additional information and documents, as applicable: (a) if such Bonds are being delivered to the
Bond Registrar by the holder for registration in the name of such holder, without transfer, a certification from
such holder to that effect; or (b) if such Bonds are being transferred to a qualified institutional buyer within
the meaning of Rule 144A, or pursuant to an exemption

Page 7

from registration in accordance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act, or a transaction meeting the requirements
of Regulation S, or pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, a certification to
that effect; or (c) if such Bonds are being transferred in reliance on another exemption from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act or in a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act, a certification to that effect and a written opinion of counsel acceptable to the Company and to
the Bond Registrar to the effect that such transfer does not require registration under the Securities Act.

                  Upon any sale of transfer of a Bond that is subject to the Private Placement Legend (including
a Global Bond) pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, pursuant to an effective registration statement
under the Securities Act, or in connection with which the Company and the Bond Registrar receive a satisfactory
opinion of counsel to the effect that such Bond no longer will be subject to resale restrictions under federal and
state securities laws: (a) in the case of a Certificated Bond, the Bond Registrar shall permit the holder thereof
to exchange such Bond for a Certificated Bond that does not bear the Private Placement Legend and rescind any
restriction on the transfer of such Bond; and (b) in the case of a Bond represented by a Global Bond, such Bond
shall not be required to bear the Private Placement Legend, but shall continue to be subject to the provisions of
the Global Bond Legend.

                                                     PART VII

                  All, but only, the duties, responsibilities, liabilities, immunities, rights, powers, and
indemnities against liability, of the Trustees and each of them, with respect to the trust created by the Amended
Indenture, are hereby assumed by and given to the Trustees, and each of them, with respect to the trust hereby
created, and are so assumed and given subject to all the terms and provisions with respect thereto as set forth
in the Amended Indenture, as fully and to all intents and purposes as if the same were herein set forth at
length; and this Supplemental Indenture is executed by the Trustees for the purpose of evidencing their consent
to the foregoing.

Trustees assume no responsibility for the correctness thereof.  The Trustees make no representations as to the
validity of this Supplemental Indenture.

respects ratified and confirmed, and the Original Indenture and all said indentures supplemental thereto
including this Supplemental Indenture, shall be read, taken, and considered as one instrument, and the Company
agrees to conform to and comply with all and singular the terms, provisions, covenants, and conditions set forth
therein and herein.

                                                      PART IX

                  In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Supplemental Indenture should be
invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not
affect any other provisions contained in this Supplemental Indenture, and, to the extent and only to the extent
that any such provision is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, this Supplemental Indenture shall be construed as
if such provision had never been contained herein.

                                                      PART X

                  This Supplemental Indenture may be simultaneously executed and delivered in any number of
counterparts, each of which, when so executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original.
