                    LICENSE AND CREDIT ENHANCEMENT AGREEMENT

          THIS LICENSE AND CREDIT ENHANCEMENT AGREEMENT ("Agreement") is entered
into effective as of the ____ day of May, 2000, between Cafe Odyssey, LLC, a
Minnesota limited liability company ("Licensor"), and Odyssey Restaurants, LLC,
a Minnesota limited liability company ("Licensee"):

                                   WITNESSETH:

          WHEREAS, Licensor expects to acquire from PopMail.com, Inc.
("PopMail") the Cafe Odyssey Restaurant located in the Mall of America in
Bloomington, Minnesota and the Cafe Odyssey Restaurant located in the Denver
Pavilions Shopping Center in Denver, Colorado (the "Existing Cafe Odyssey
Restaurants"); and

          WHEREAS, Licensor also expects to acquire from PopMail certain
intellectual property rights which are used in connection with the Existing Cafe
Odyssey Restaurants; and

          WHEREAS, Licensee desires to obtain the right to develop new Cafe
Odyssey Restaurants and, in connection therewith, Licensee desires to obtain a
perpetual nonexclusive license to use such intellectual property rights; and

          WHEREAS, Licensee also wants Licensor to provide certain financial
assistance and credit enhancements in connection with Licensee's development of
new Cafe Odyssey Restaurants; and

          WHEREAS, Licensor and Licensee have entered into a Management
Agreement effective as of even date herewith, pursuant to which Licensee will
manage the Existing Cafe Odyssey Restaurants on behalf of Licensor upon the
terms and subject to the conditions thereof (the "Management Agreement"); and

          WHEREAS, as a condition to entering into the Management Agreement,
Licensee has required Licensor to enter into this Agreement;

          NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained
herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of
which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

     1.   GRANT OF LICENSE. Licensor hereby grants unto Licensee a perpetual
nonexclusive right, upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter set
forth, to use all intellectual property rights including, without limitation,
all trade names and trademarks which are developed for use in connection with
Cafe Odyssey Restaurants and which are now or hereafter owned by

<PAGE>   2
Licensor (the "Intellectual Property Rights"), but only in connection with any
Cafe Odyssey Restaurants owned by Licensee. This license is coupled with an
interest and is irrevocable and nonterminable except in accordance with the
terms hereof. Licensor makes no representation or warranty to Licensee with
respect to the validity, or any other aspect, of the Intellectual Property
Rights and Licensor shall have no obligation to register, take any actions to
obtain registration of, or continue registration of any Intellectual Property
Rights under applicable law. In addition, Licensor shall not be required to
defend Licensee against any infringement, unfair competition or other claim
respecting Licensee's use of any Intellectual Property Rights. Licensee agrees
not to contest Licensor's sole right to register, use or to license the
Intellectual Property Rights to others except to the extent necessary to protect
Licensee's rights under this Agreement. Upon any termination of this Agreement,
Licensee shall execute such documents and perform such acts as may be reasonably
necessary to evidence Licensee's disassociation from Licensor and the fact that
Licensee has ceased using any of the Intellectual Property Rights and that
Licensee has no further interest or right thereto.

     2.   LIMITATIONS ON LICENSE. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
this Agreement, Licensee shall have no right to assign the license rights
granted in Section 1 above without first obtaining the written consent of
Licensor, which consent shall be granted only if the proposed assignee is
acquiring a Cafe Odyssey Restaurant owned by Licensee and such proposed assignee
agrees in a writing reasonably acceptable to Licensor to be bound by such
limitations as are reasonably necessary to protect the Intellectual Property
Rights. The license of rights granted to Licensee in Section 1 above shall
terminate and may no longer be used by Licensee on the date on which Licensee no
longer owns any Cafe Odyssey Restaurant.

     3.   MODIFICATIONS TO RESTAURANT CONCEPT. Although Licensee shall have the
right, in connection with its operation of any new Cafe Odyssey Restaurants, to
modify the concepts used in connection with and the ambiance of the Existing
Cafe Odyssey Restaurants, Licensee shall not have the right to modify such
concepts or ambiance in a manner that would materially adversely affect the
value of the Existing Cafe Odyssey Restaurants or the Intellectual Property
Rights.

     4.   DEVELOPMENT RIGHTS. Licensor hereby grants Licensee the exclusive
right prior to the third anniversary of the Management Agreement (the "Exclusive
Development Rights Expiration Date"), to develop, own and operate the next four
(4) Cafe Odyssey Restaurants in any location (other than the Twin Cities and the
Denver metropolitan areas). In addition, Licensee shall have the right to
develop, own and operate a total of four (4) new Cafe Odyssey Restaurants
(including among such four (4) restaurants any new Cafe Odyssey Restaurants
which are opened prior to the Exclusive Development Rights Expiration Date)
whether or not any of such restaurants are opened prior to the Exclusive
Development Rights Expiration Date. Further, if, after Licensee has developed
the four (4) new Cafe Odyssey Restaurants provided for in this Section, Licensee
desires to develop, own and operate additional new Cafe Odyssey Restaurants (the
"Additional New Cafe Odyssey Restaurants"), Licensee shall request Licensor's
approval therefor, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
Licensor shall not be obligated to guarantee a lease for any such Additional New
Cafe Odyssey Restaurant.

                                       2
<PAGE>   3
     5.   LICENSOR'S APPROVAL RIGHTS. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in this Agreement, Licensee's right to develop new Cafe Odyssey Restaurants
shall be conditioned upon Licensee's obtaining Licensor's prior written approval
of the proposed location and the terms and conditions of any lease for such
site, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

     6.   GUARANTEES OF LICENSOR. Licensor hereby agrees to execute and deliver
a full, unconditional guarantee of any lease for a new Cafe Odyssey Restaurant
(including the Dearborn Lease as described in Section 13 of this Agreement)
which is entered into prior to the Exclusive Development Rights Termination
Date, but only if Licensor has approved such lease agreement, which approval
will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided that, in no
event, shall Licensor be required to guarantee more than four (4) leases for new
Cafe Odyssey Restaurants pursuant to this Section. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Licensor's obligation to enter into such guarantees shall terminate
and have no further force and effect on the date the Management Agreement
expires or is terminated for any reason other than because of Licensor's default
in the performance of its obligations under the Management Agreement or because
the Existing Cafe Odyssey Restaurants are closed by reason of casualty or
condemnation or are sold, whether through a sale of assets or equity interests,
or the date on which substantially all of the assets of, or the equity interests
in Licensor are sold.

     7.   NONCOMPETITION COVENANT. Licensor agrees that it shall not, either
directly or indirectly, develop, or license or grant to any other entity the
right to develop any Cafe Odyssey Restaurant in any resort, theme park or
metropolitan area in which Licensee owns or is developing a Cafe Odyssey
Restaurant. Further, Licensor shall not develop, directly or indirectly, or
license or grant to any other entity the right to develop, any Cafe Odyssey
Restaurant in any location until the earlier of (i) the Exclusive Development
Rights Expiration Date, or (ii) the date on which Licensee has developed four
(4) new Cafe Odyssey Restaurants.

     8.   BRIDGE LOAN AND PLEDGE. If Licensee proceeds with the development and
construction of the proposed Cafe Odyssey Restaurant pursuant to the Dearborn
Lease (as defined in Section 13 of this Agreement) Licensor agrees, if requested
by Licensee, to loan Licensee up to Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00)
to pay for the cost of leasehold improvements for such restaurant; provided that
(i) such loan proceeds shall be disbursed in a manner reasonably acceptable to
Licensor and shall be used only to pay up to the last $500,000.00 in leasehold
improvement construction costs, (ii) such loan shall be documented (at the time
the first of such loan proceeds are to be drawn) in a manner reasonably
satisfactory to Licensor, which documentation shall include, but not be limited
to, a negotiable promissory note from Licensee to Licensor which will provide
for interest to accrue at a rate of nine percent (9%) per annum and a maturity
date of December 31, 2000, and a collateral pledge of options (which have an
aggregate value equal to 150% of the amount of such loan on the date the loan
documents are executed) to acquire stock in PopMail.com, Inc. held by Ronald K.
Fuller or Thomas W. Orr to secure such loan, and (iii) no portion of the loan
proceeds shall be disbursed prior to July 15, 2000. If Licensee enters into the
Dearborn Lease, Licensor also agrees to pledge as collateral the cash flow from
the Existing Cafe

                                       3
<PAGE>   4
Odyssey Restaurants in order to secure repayment of up to but not more than
$1,300,000 in loans which are used to pay for any leasehold improvements to the
premises to be demised under the Dearborn Lease; provided that any such security
interest in such cash flow shall be subordinate in all respects to any of
Licensor's existing credit facilities and any refinancings thereof.

     9.   LEGAL PROCEEDINGS. If any claims, demands, suits or other legal
proceedings are instituted by any person against Licensor or Licensee with
respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, each of the parties hereto
shall cooperate with each other and provide reasonable assistance in the defense
or other disposition thereof.

          10.2 AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVES. Subject to the other requirements of
this Agreement, Licensor and Licensee agree that the following persons are
entitled to act on its behalf in dealing with the other party and such other
party shall be entitled to rely thereon:

          On behalf of Licensor:   Steven D. King

          On behalf of Licensee:   Thomas W. Orr
                                   Ronald K. Fuller

Licensor and Licensee shall each have the right to designate additional or
substitute persons as authorized representatives by written notice to the other.

     11.  NO FRANCHISE. It is the intention of the parties hereto that this

between them shall not be deemed to be

                                       4
<PAGE>   5
that of franchisor and franchisee. Each party agrees to do such things, perform
such acts, and make, execute, acknowledge and deliver such documents as may be
reasonably necessary or proper to insure that this Agreement will not be deemed
to be or treated as a franchise agreement, and that the relationship between the
parties will not be deemed to be or treated as a franchisor-franchisee
relationship, by any person, entity, court or any governmental or
quasi-governmental agency.

     12.  DISCLAIMER OF RELATIONSHIP. The relationship between Licensor and
Licensee shall be that of licensor-licensee only. No term in this Agreement and
no course of dealing between the parties shall be deemed to create any
relationship of agency, partnership, joint venture or franchisor-franchisee, nor
to create any relationship of parent-subsidiary or any other affiliation between
the parties.

     13.  DEARBORN LEASE. Prior to the date of this Agreement, Maslon Edelman
Borman & Brand, the attorneys for PopMail, have been negotiating a lease for a
new Cafe Odyssey Restaurant for premises to be located in the Fairlane Town
Center in Dearborn, Michigan (the "Dearborn Lease"). Contemporaneously with the
execution of this Agreement, PopMail is assigning to Licensee any and all rights
which PopMail may have with respect to the Dearborn Lease. Licensee hereby
acknowledges that if Licensee enters into the Dearborn Lease, Licensee shall not
be relying in any manner upon the advice or counsel of Maslon Edelman Borman &
Brand with respect to the Dearborn Lease. Licensee further acknowledges that it
is experienced in the acquisition, development, leasing, ownership and
management of restaurants; that to the extent that Licensee's own expertise or
experience with respect to any aspect of the Dearborn Lease or the location to
be demised thereunder is insufficient to enable Licensee to reach an informed
conclusion with respect to the desirability of entering into the Dearborn Lease,
Licensee will have had the opportunity to engage, prior to the execution of the
Dearborn Lease, the services of persons qualified to advise Licensee with
respect to such matters including legal counsel of Licensee's choosing.

     14.  MISCELLANEOUS.

          14.1 SEVERABILITY. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement
shall be interpreted so as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but
if any provision hereof shall be prohibited by or invalid under such law, such
provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity,
without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions
of this Agreement.

          14.2 COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which shall be effective only upon delivery and thereafter
shall be deemed an original, and all of which shall be taken to be one and the
same instrument to the same effect as if all parties hereto had signed the same
signature page. Any signature page of this Agreement may be detached from any
counterpart of this Agreement without impairing the legal effect of any
signatures thereon and may be attached to another identical counterpart of this
Agreement, but having attached to it one or more additional signature pages.

<PAGE>   6
          14.3 NO BLANKET WAIVER. In the event of a waiver of a default by
either party under this Agreement, such waiver shall not operate as a waiver of
any subsequent default.

          14.4 ARBITRATION. Any disputes that may arise between the parties
under this Agreement, or with respect to or arising out of subject matter
hereof, shall be submitted to arbitration in the state of, and pursuant to the
laws of, Minnesota under the following procedure:

          (1) Any party hereto (the "Initiating Party") can declare a dispute to
be irreconcilable, thereby invoking binding arbitration, by giving notice
thereof in accordance with the provisions of Section 10 hereof. Such notice
shall identify the Initiating Party's designated independent arbitrator. Each
arbitrator appoint pursuant to this Section 14.5 shall have at least ten (10)
years of experience in the field of restaurant operations and management.

          (2) The party so notified (the "Responding Party") shall then have
twenty (20) days to identify the Responding Party's designated independent
arbitrator by notice to the Initiating Party and by having the Responding
Party's designated arbitrator contact the Initiating Party's designated
arbitrator within said twenty (20) days. If the Responding Party fails to do so,
the Initiating Party may designate the Responding Party's arbitrator.

          (3) The two arbitrators shall, within twenty (20) days of the date
they initially make contact, designate a third arbitrator. If the two
arbitrators cannot agree within said twenty (20) days on a third arbitrator,
then the two arbitrators shall petition the District Court of Hennepin County,
Minnesota, to appoint the third arbitrator.

          (4) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, at the time an
Initiating Party invokes binding arbitration, the Initiating Party may request
that the Responding Party agree upon a single arbitrator to determine the
matter, in which event the arbitration shall proceed before, and be determined
by, the single arbitrator agreed upon by the parties.

          (5) The arbitrators, using procedures of the American Arbitration
Association or any like organization acceptable to the arbitrators, shall
determine liability and damages, if any, to be awarded. The parties shall each
advance their proportionate share of any advance fees required to be paid to the
arbitrators. The losing party shall pay all arbitration fees and shall also be
liable for attorneys' fees incurred by the successful party. Should the
arbitrators determine that both parties bear some liability in connection with
the dispute, then the arbitrators shall assess arbitration and attorneys' fees
as they deem appropriate under the circumstances.

          (6) The award of the arbitrators shall be final and binding and may be
enforced by the District Court of Hennepin County, Minnesota.

          14.5 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. NOTWITHSTANDING THE PROVISIONS OF THE
PRECEDING SECTION, SHOULD ANY PROCEEDINGS IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR
THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF BE CONDUCTED IN THE COURTS OF MINNESOTA, OR ANY OTHER
JURISDICTION, THE PARTIES EACH WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY TO THE FULLEST EXTENT
PERMITTED BY LAW.

          14.6 ATTORNEYS' FEES. If any action (including a lawsuit, arbitration,
mediation, or administrative proceeding) is brought for or on account of any
breach of this Agreement, or to enforce or interpret any of the terms, covenants
or conditions of this Agreement, the substantially prevailing party shall be
entitled to receive from the other party attorneys' fees and costs (including
without limitation expert witness and consulting fees) incurred in the action.

such acts and make, execute acknowledge and deliver such documents as may be
reasonably necessary or proper to insure that the purpose and intent of this
Agreement are accomplished.

          14.8 AMENDMENTS. Any and all amendments to this Agreement shall be
null and void unless approved by the parties in writing.

          14.9 HEADINGS. All headings in this Agreement are inserted only for

and be enforceable by Licensee, its successors and permitted assigns.

so mailed, to any particular Holder of a Security shall affect the sufficiency
of such notice with respect to other Holders of Securities.

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

         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.

Securities of the series;

                  (15) if the Securities of such series are to be issuable in

                  SECTION 2.02. Form of Trustee's Certificate of Authentication.
The Trustee's certificate of authentication shall be in the following form:

     {FORM OF BANK ONE TRUST COMPANY, N.A.'S CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICATION}

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

                                                 Bank One Trust Company, N.A.,
                                                 as Trustee,

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

                  SECTION 2.03. Form, Execution, Authentication, Delivery and
Dating of Securities. The Securities of each series and the Coupons, if any, to
be attached thereto, shall be in the forms approved from time to time by or
pursuant to a Board Resolution, or established in one or more indentures
supplemental hereto, and may have such letters, numbers or other marks of
identification or designation and such legends or endorsements printed,
lithographed or engraved thereon as the Corporation may deem appropriate and as
are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture, or as may be
required to comply with any law or with any rule or regulation made pursuant
thereto or with any rule or regulation of any securities exchange on which the
Securities may be listed, or to conform to usage.

         Each Security and Coupon shall be executed on behalf of the Corporation
by its Chairman of the Board of Directors or the President or any Vice President
or its Treasurer or any Assistant Treasurer and the Secretary or any Assistant
Secretary, or, if the other signatory is other than the Treasurer or any
Assistant Treasurer, any assistant Treasurer, under its Corporate seal. Such
signatures may be the manual or facsimile signatures of the present or any
future such officers. The seal of the Corporation may be in the form of a
facsimile thereof and may be impressed, affixed, imprinted or otherwise
reproduced on the Securities.

         Each Security and Coupon bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of
individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the Corporation shall
bind the Corporation, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have
ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such
Security, or the Security to which such Coupon appertains. At any time and from
time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Corporation
may deliver Securities of any series executed by the Corporation and, in the
case of Coupon Securities, having attached thereto appropriate Coupons, to the
Trustee for authentication, together with a Corporation Order for the
authentication and delivery of such Securities, and the Trustee in accordance
with such Corporation Order shall authenticate and deliver such Securities. If
the form or terms of the Securities or Coupons of the series have been
established in or pursuant to one or more Board Resolutions as permitted by this
Section and Section 2.01, 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 7.01) shall be
fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating:

                                       10

<PAGE>   17

                  (a) if the form of such Securities or Coupons has been
established by or pursuant to Board Resolution as permitted by Section 2.01,
that such form has been established in conformity with the provisions of this
Indenture;

                  (b) if the terms of such Securities have been established by
or pursuant to Board Resolution as permitted by Section 2.01, that such terms
have been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; and

                  (c) that each such Security and Coupon, when authenticated and
delivered by the Trustee and issued by the Corporation in the manner and subject
to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute valid
and legally binding obligations of the Corporation, enforceable in accordance
with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance,
reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general applicability relating to
or affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights and to general equity
principles, whether applied in a proceeding at law or in equity. If such form or
terms have been so established, the Trustee shall not be required to
authenticate such Securities if the issue of such Securities pursuant to this
Indenture will affect the Trustee's own rights, duties or immuni ties under the
Securities and the Indenture or otherwise in a manner that is not reasonably
acceptable to the Trustee.

         Every Registered Security shall be dated the date of its
authentication. Each Unregistered Security shall be dated as provided in or
pursuant to the Board Resolution or supplemental indenture referred to in
Section 2.01 or, if no such terms are specified, the date of its original
issuance.

         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 and is entitled to the
benefits of this Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Security shall
have been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold
by the Corporation, and the Corporation shall deliver such Security to the
Trustee for cancellation as provided in Section 2.08 together with a written
statement (which need not comply with Section 14.04 and need not be accompanied
by an Opinion of Counsel) stating that such Security has never been issued and
sold by the Corporation, 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.

         If the Corporation shall establish pursuant to Section 2.01 that the
Securities of a series are to be issued in whole or in part in the form of a
Global Security, then the Corporation shall execute and the Trustee shall in
accordance with this Section and the Corporation Order with respect to such
series authenticate and deliver the Global Security that (i) shall represent and
shall be denominated in an aggregate amount equal to the aggregate principal
amount of outstanding Securities of such series to be represented by the Global
Security, (ii) shall be registered, if in registered form, in the name of the
Depository for such Global Security or the nominee of such Depository, and (iii)
shall be delivered by the Trustee to such Depository or pursuant to such
Depository's instructions.

         Each Depository designated pursuant to Section 2.01 for a Global
Security in registered form must, at the time of its designation and at all
times while it serves as Depository, be a clearing agency

                                       11

<PAGE>   18

registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and any other
applicable statute or regulation.

                  SECTION 2.04. Denominations; Record Date. The Securities shall
be issuable as Registered Securities or Unregistered Securities in such
denominations as may be specified as contem plated in Section 2.01. In the
absence of any such specification with respect to any series, such Securities
shall be issuable in the denomination contemplated by Section 2.01.

         The term "record date" as used with respect to an Interest Payment Date
(except a date for payment of defaulted interest) shall mean such day or days as
shall be specified in the terms of the Registered Securities of any particular
series as contemplated by Section 2.01; provided, however, that in the absence
of any such provisions with respect to any series, such term shall mean (1) the
last day of the calendar month next preceding such Interest Payment Date if such
Interest Payment Date is the fifteenth day of a calendar month; or (2) the
fifteenth day of a calendar month next preceding such Interest Payment Date if
such Interest Payment Date is the first day of the calendar month.

         The person in whose name any Registered Security is registered at the
close of business on the Regular Record Date with respect to an Interest Payment
Date shall be entitled to receive the interest payable and Additional Amounts,
if any, payable on such Interest Payment Date notwithstanding the cancellation
of such Registered Security upon any transfer or exchange thereof subsequent to
such Regular Record Date and prior to such Interest Payment Date; provided,
however, that if and to the extent the Corporation shall default in the payment
of the interest and Additional Amounts, if any, due on such Interest Payment
Date, such defaulted interest and Additional Amounts, if any, shall be paid to
the persons in whose names outstanding Registered Securities are registered on a
subsequent record date established by notice given by mail by or on behalf of
the Corporation to the Holders of Securities of the series in default not less
than fifteen days preceding such subsequent record date, such record date to be
not less than five days preceding the date of payment of such defaulted
interest.

                  SECTION 2.05. Exchange and Registration of Transfer of
Securities. Registered securities of any series may be exchanged for a like
aggregate principal amount of Registered Securities of other authorized
denominations of such series. Registered Securities to be exchanged shall be
surrendered at the office or agency to be designated and maintained by the
Corporation for such purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York,
in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.02, and the Corporation shall
execute and register and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange
therefor the Registered Security or Registered Securities that the Holder making
the exchange shall have been entitled to receive.

         If the Securities of any series are issued in both registered and
unregistered form, except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 2.01, at
the option of the Holder thereof, Unregistered Securities of any series may be
exchanged for Registered Securities of such series of any authorized
denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of such
Unregistered Securities to be exchanged at the agency of the Corporation that
shall be maintained for such purpose in accordance with Section 4.02, with, in
the case of Unregistered Securities that are Coupon Securities, all unmatured
Coupons and all matured Coupons in default thereto appertaining. At the option
of the Holder thereof, if Unregistered Securities of any series are issued in
more than one authorized denomination, except as otherwise specified pursuant to
Section 2.01, such Unregistered Securities may be exchanged for Unregistered
Securities of such series of other authorized denominations and of a like
aggregate principal amount,

                                       12

<PAGE>   19

upon surrender of such Unregistered Securities to be exchanged at the agency of
the Corporation that shall be maintained for such purpose in accordance with
Section 4.02 or as specified pursuant to Section 2.01, with, in the case of
Unregistered Securities that are Coupon Securities, all unmatured Coupons and
all matured Coupons in default thereto appertaining. Unless otherwise specified
pursuant to Section 2.01, Registered Securities of any series may not be
exchanged for Unregistered Securities of such series. Whenever any Securities
are so surrendered for exchange the Corporation shall execute, and the Trustee
shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities that the Holder making the
exchange is entitled to receive.

         The Corporation or its designated agent (the "Security Registrar")
shall keep, at such office or agency, a Security Register (the "Security
Register") in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe,
the Corporation shall register Securities and shall register the transfer of
Registered Securities as provided in this Article Two. The Security Register
shall be in written form or in any other form capable of being converted into
written form within a reasonable time. At all reasonable times the Security
Register shall be open for inspection by the Trustee. Upon due presentment for
registration of transfer of any Registered Security of a particular series at
such office or agency, the Corporation shall execute and the Corporation or the
Security Registrar shall register and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver
in the name of the transferee or transferees a new Registered Security or
Registered Securities of such series for an equal aggregate principal amount.

         Unregistered Securities (except for any temporary bearer Securities)
and Coupons shall be transferable by delivery.

         All Securities presented for registration of transfer or for exchange,
redemption or payment, as the case may be, shall (if so required by the
Corporation or the Trustee) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by, a written
instrument or instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Corporation
and the Trustee duly executed by the Holder or his, her or its attorney duly
authorized in writing.

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

         The Corporation shall not be required to exchange or register a
transfer of (a) any Registered Securities of any series for a period of fifteen
days next preceding any selection of Registered Securities of such series to be
redeemed, or (b) any Security of any such series selected for redemption except
in the case of any such series to be redeemed in part, the portion thereof not
to be so redeemed.

         Notwithstanding anything herein or in the terms of any series of
Securities to the contrary, neither the Corporation nor the Trustee (which shall
rely on an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel) shall be required to
exchange any Unregistered Security for a Registered Security if such exchange
would result in adverse Federal income tax consequences to the Corporation
(including the inability of the Corporation to deduct from its income, as
computed for Federal income tax purposes, the interest payable on any
Securities) under then applicable United States Federal income tax laws.

                  SECTION 2.06. Temporary Securities. Pending the preparation of
definitive Securities of any series, the Corporation may execute and on receipt
of a Corporation Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver temporary
Securities of such series (printed or lithographed). Temporary Securities of any
series shall be issuable in any authorized denominations, and in the form
approved from time to time by or pursuant to a Board Resolution but with such
omissions, insertions and variations as may be appropriate for temporary
Securities, all as may be determined by the Corporation. Every temporary
Security shall be executed by the Corporation and authenticated by the Trustee
upon the same conditions and in substantially the same manner, and with like
effect, as the definitive Securities. Without unnecessary delay the Corporation
shall execute and furnish definitive Securities of such series and thereupon any
or all temporary Registered Securities of such series may be surrendered in
exchange therefor without charge at the office or agency to be designated and
maintained by the Corporation for such purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The
City of New York, in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.02 and in the
case of Unregistered Securities at any agency maintained by the Corporation for
such purpose as specified pursuant to Section 2.01, and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver in exchange for such temporary Securities an equal
aggregate principal amount of definitive Securities of the same series of
authorized denominations and in the case of such Securities that are Coupon
Securities, having attached thereto the appropriate Coupons. Until so exchanged
the temporary Securities of any series shall be entitled to the same benefits
under this Indenture as definitive Securities of such series. The provisions of
this Section 2.06 are subject to any restrictions or limitations on the issue
and delivery of temporary unregistered Securities of any series that may be
established pursuant to Section 2.01 (including any provision that Unregistered
Securities of such series initially be issued in the form of a single global
Unregistered Security to be delivered to a depositary or agency of the
Corporation located outside the United States and the procedures pursuant to
which definitive Unregistered Securities of such series would be issued in
exchange for such temporary global Unregistered Security).

                  SECTION 2.07. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Securities.
In case any temporary or definitive Security of any series or, in the case of a
Coupon Security, any Coupon appertaining thereto, shall become mutilated or be
destroyed, lost or stolen, the Corporation in the case of a mutilated Security
or Coupon shall, and in the case of a lost, stolen or destroyed Security or
Coupon may, in its discretion, execute, and upon receipt of a Corporation Order
the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, a new Security of the same series as
the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security or, in the case of a Coupon
Security, a new Coupon Security of the same series as the mutilated, destroyed,
lost or stolen Coupon Security or, in the case of a Coupon, a new Coupon of the
same series as the Coupon Security to which such mutilated, destroyed, lost or
stolen Coupon appertains, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding, in
exchange and substitution for the mutilated Security, or in lieu of and in
substitution for the Security so destroyed, lost or stolen or in exchange for
the Coupon Security to which such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Coupon
appertains, with all appurtenant Coupons not destroyed, lost or stolen. In every
case the applicant for a substituted Security or Coupon shall furnish to the
Corporation and to the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by
them to save each of them harmless, and, in every case of destruction, loss or
theft, the applicant shall also furnish to the Corporation and to the Trustee
evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of such
Security or Coupon, as the case may be, and of the ownership thereof. Upon the
issuance of any substituted Security or Coupon, the Corporation 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 connected therewith
and in addition a further sum not exceeding ten dollars for each Security so
issued in substitution. In case any Security or Coupon which has matured or is
about to mature shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the
Corporation may, instead of issuing a substituted Security, pay or authorize the
payment of the same

                                       14

<PAGE>   21

(without surrender thereof except in the case of a mutilated Security or Coupon)
if the applicant for such payment shall furnish the corporation and the Trustee
with such security or indemnity as they may require to save them harmless and,
in case of destruction, loss or theft, evidence to the satisfaction of the
Corporation and the Trustee of the destruction, loss or theft of such Security
or Coupon and of the ownership thereof.

         Every substituted Security with, in the case of any such Security that
is a Coupon Security, its Coupons, issued pursuant to the provisions of this
Section by virtue of the fact that any Security or Coupon is destroyed, lost or
stolen shall, with respect to such Security or Coupon, constitute an additional
contractual obligation of the Corporation, whether or not the destroyed, lost or
stolen Security or Coupon shall be found at any time, and shall be entitled to
all the benefits of this Indenture equally and propor tionately with any and all
other Securities, and the Coupons appertaining thereto, duly issued hereunder.

         All Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto shall be held and
owned upon the express condition that the foregoing provisions are exclusive
with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or
stolen Securities and Coupons appertaining thereto and shall, to the extent
permitted by law, preclude any and all other rights or remedies, notwithstanding
any law or statute existing or hereafter enacted to the contrary with respect to
the replacement or payment of negotiable instruments or other securities without
their surrender.

                  SECTION 2.08. Cancellation. All Securities surrendered for
payment, redemption, exchange or registration of transfer, and all Coupons
surrendered for payment as the case may be, shall, if surrendered to the
Corporation or any agent of the Corporation or of the Trustee, be delivered to
the Trustee and promptly cancelled by it or, if surrendered to the Trustee, be
cancelled by it, and no Securities or Coupons, shall be issued in lieu thereof
except as expressly permitted by any of the provisions of this Indenture. The
Trustee shall destroy cancelled Securities and Coupons and deliver a certificate
of destruction to the Corporation.

                  SECTION 2.09. Computation of Interest. Except as otherwise
specified as contemplated by Section 2.01 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 2.10. Securities in Global Form. If Securities of a
series are issuable in global form, as specified as contemplated by Section
2.01, then, notwithstanding clause (9) of Section 2.01 and the provisions of
Section 2.04, such Global 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 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 Corporation Order to be
delivered to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.03 or Section 2.06. Subject to
the provisions of Section 2.03 and, if applicable, Section 2.06, the Trustee
shall deliver and redeliver any Security in definitive global bearer form in the
manner and upon written instructions given by the Person or Persons specified
therein or in the applicable Corporation Order. If a Corporation Order pursuant
to Section 2.03 or 2.06 has been, or simultaneously is, delivered, any
instructions by the Corporation with respect to endorsement or delivery or
redelivery of a Security in global form shall be in writing but need not comply
with Section

                                       15

<PAGE>   22

14.04 and need not be accompanied by an opinion of Counsel. The beneficial owner
of a Security represented by a definitive Global Security in bearer form may,
upon no less than 30 days written notice to the Trustee, given by the beneficial
owner through a Depository, exchange its interest in such definitive Global
Security for a definitive bearer Security or Securities, or a definitive
Registered Security or Securities, of any authorized denomination, subject to
the rules and regulations of such Depository and its members. No individual
definitive bearer Security will be delivered in or to the United States.

         The provisions of the last sentence of the third to the last paragraph
of Section 2.03 shall apply to any Security represented by a Security in global
form if such Security was never issued and sold by the Corporation and the
Corporation delivers to the Trustee the Security in global form together with
written instructions (which need not comply with Section 14.04 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 the third to the last paragraph
of Section 2.03.

         Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.01, payment of
principal of, and any premium and any interest on, any Security in definitive
global form shall be made to the Person or Persons specified therein.

                  SECTION 2.11. Medium-Term Securities. Notwithstanding any
contrary provision herein, if all Securities of a series are not to be
originally issued at one time, it shall not be necessary to deliver the
Corporation Order, Officers' Certificate, supplemental indenture or Opinion of
Counsel otherwise required pursuant to Sections 2.01, 2.03, 2.06, and 14.04 at
or prior to the time of authentica tion 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.

         An Officers' Certificate or supplemental indenture, delivered pursuant
to this Section 2.11 in the circumstances set forth in the preceding paragraph
may provide that Securities which are the subject thereof will be authenticated
and delivered by the Trustee on original issue from time to time upon the
written order of persons designated in such Officers' Certificate or
supplemental indenture and that such persons are authorized to determine,
consistent with such Officers' Certificate or any applicable supplemental
indenture such terms and conditions of said Securities as are specified in such
Officers' Certificate or supplemental indenture, provided that the foregoing
procedure is acceptable to the Trustee.

                  SECTION 2.12. CUSIP Numbers. The Corporation, in issuing the
Securities, may use "CUSIP" numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the
Trustee shall use "CUSIP" numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to
Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made
as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as
contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on
the other identification numbers printed on the Securities, and any such
redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers.
The Corporation will promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the "CUSIP"
numbers.

                                  ARTICLE III.

                            REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES.

                  SECTION 3.01. Redemption of Securities; Applicability of
Article. Redemption of Securities of any series as permitted or required by the
terms thereof shall be made in accordance with such terms and this Article;
provided, however, that if any provision of any series of Securities shall
conflict with any provision of this Article, the provision of such series of
Securities shall govern.

         The notice date for a redemption of Securities shall mean the date on
which notice of such redemption is given in accordance with the provisions of
Section 3.02 hereof.

                  SECTION 3.02. Notice of Redemption; Selection of Securities.
The election of the Corporation to redeem any Securities shall be evidenced by
an Officers' Certificate. In case the Corporation shall desire to exercise the
right to redeem all, or, as the case may be, any part, of a series of Securities
pursuant to the terms and provisions applicable to such series, it shall fix a
date for redemption and shall mail a notice of such redemption at least thirty
and not more than sixty days prior to the date fixed for redemption to the
Holders of the Securities of such series that are Registered Securities to be
redeemed as a whole or in part, at their last addresses as the same appear on
the Security Register. Such mailing shall be by prepaid first class mail. Any
notice which is mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively
presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Holder shall have received
such notice. In any case, failure to give notice by mail, or any defect in the
notice to the Holder of any Security of a series designated for redemption as a
whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the
redemption of any other Security of such series.

         Notice of redemption to the Holders of Unregistered Securities to be
redeemed as a whole or in part, who have filed their names and addresses with
the Trustee as described in Section 313(c) of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939,
shall be given by mailing notice of such redemption, by first class mail,
postage prepaid, at least thirty days and not more than sixty days prior to the
date fixed for redemption, to such Holders at such addresses as were so
furnished to the Trustee (and, in the case of any such notice given by the
Corporation, the Trustee shall make such information available to the
Corporation for such purpose). Notice of redemption to any other Holder of an
Unregistered Security of such series shall be published in an Authorized
Newspaper in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York and in an Authorized
Newspaper in London (and, if required by Section 4.04, in an Authorized
Newspaper in Luxembourg), in each case, once in each of two successive calendar
weeks, the first publication to be not less than thirty nor more than sixty days
prior to the date fixed for redemption. Any notice that is mailed in the manner
herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether
or not the Holder shall have received such notice. In any case, failure to give
notice by mail, or any defect in the notice to the Holder of any Security of a
series designated for redemption as a whole or in part shall not affect the
validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Security of such
series.

         Each such notice of redemption shall specify the provisions of such
Securities under which such redemption is made, that the conditions precedent,
if any, to such redemption have occurred, shall describe the same and the date
fixed for redemption, the redemption price at which such Securities are to be
redeemed, the Place of Payment, that payment will be made upon presentation and
surrender of such Securities and, in the case of Coupon Securities, of all
Coupons appertaining thereto maturing after the date fixed for redemption, that
interest and Additional Amounts, if any, accrued to the date fixed for

                                       17
<PAGE>   24

redemption will be paid as specified in said notice, and that on and after said
date interest, if any, thereon or on the portions thereof to be redeemed will
cease to accrue. If fewer than all of the Securities of a series are to be
redeemed any notice of redemption published in an Authorized Newspaper shall
specify the numbers of the Securities to be redeemed and, if applicable, the
CUSIP Numbers thereof. In case any Security is to be redeemed in part only, the
notice of redemption shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to
be redeemed and shall state that upon surrender of such Security, a new Security
or Securities in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will
be issued of the same series.

         At least one Business Day prior to the redemption date specified in the
notice of redemption given for Unregistered Securities as provided in this
Section and on or prior to the redemption date specified in the notice of
redemption given for all Securities other than Unregistered Securities, the
Corporation will deposit in trust with the Trustee or with one or more Paying
Agents an amount of money sufficient to redeem on the redemption date all the
Securities or portions of Securities so called for redemption at the appropriate
redemption price, together with interest, if any, and Additional Amounts, if
any, accrued to the date fixed for redemption. The Corporation will give the
Trustee notice of each redemption at least forty-five days prior to the date
fixed for redemption (unless a shorter notice is acceptable to the Trustee) as
to the aggregate principal amount of Securities to be redeemed.

         If fewer than all of the Securities of a series are to be redeemed, the
Trustee shall select, pro rata or by lot or in such other manner as it shall
deem reasonable and fair, the numbers of the Securities to be redeemed in whole
or in part.

                  SECTION 3.03. Payment of Securities Called for Redemption. If
notice of redemption has been given as above provided, the Securities or
portions of Securities with respect to which such notice has been given shall
become due and payable on the date and at the Place of Payment stated in such
notice at the applicable redemption price, together with interest, if any, and
Additional Amounts, if any, accrued to the date fixed for redemption, and on and
after said date (unless the Corporation shall default in the payment of such
Securities at the redemption price, together with interest, if any, and
Additional Amounts, if any, accrued to said date) interest on the Securities or
portions of Securities so called for redemption shall cease to accrue. On
presentation and surrender of such Securities subject to redemption at said
Place of Payment in said notice specified, the said Securities or the specified
portions thereof shall be paid and redeemed by the Corporation at the applicable
redemption price, together with interest, if any, and Additional Amounts, if
any, accrued thereon to the date fixed for redemption. Interest, if any, and
Additional Amounts, if any, maturing on or prior to the date fixed for
redemption shall continue to be payable (but without interest thereon unless the
Corporation shall default in payment thereof) in the case of Coupon Securities
to the bearers of the Coupons for such interest upon surrender thereof, and in
the case of Registered Securities to the Holders thereof registered as such on
the Security Register on the relevant record date subject to the terms and
provisions of Section 2.04. At the option of the Corporation payment may be made
by check to (or to the order of) the Holders of the Securities or other persons
entitled thereto against presentation and surrender of such Securities.

         If any Coupon Security surrendered for redemption shall not be
accompanied by all appurtenant Coupons maturing after the date fixed for
redemption, the surrender of such missing Coupon or Coupons may be waived by the
Corporation and the Trustee, if there be furnished to each of them such security
or indemnity as they may require to save each of them harmless.

                                       18
<PAGE>   25

         Upon presentation of any Security redeemed in part only, the
Corporation shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the
Holder thereof, at the expense of the Corporation, a new Security or Securities,
of authorized denominations, in aggregate principal amount equal to the unre-
deemed portion of the Security so presented of the same series.

                                   ARTICLE IV.

                    PARTICULAR COVENANTS OF THE CORPORATION.

                  SECTION 4.01. Payment of Principal, Premium, Interest and
Additional Amounts. The Corporation shall duly and punctually pay or cause to be
paid the principal of (and premium, if any), interest, if any, and Additional
Amounts, if any, on each of the Securities at the place, at the respective times
and in the manner provided in the terms of the Securities and in this Indenture.
The interest on Coupon Securities (together with any Additional Amounts) shall
be payable only upon presentation and surrender of the several Coupons for such
interest installments as are evidenced thereby as they severally mature. The
interest, if any, on any temporary bearer securities (together with any
Additional Amounts) shall be paid, as to the installments of interest evidenced
by Coupons attached thereto, if any, only upon presentation and surrender
thereof, and, as to the other installments of interest, if any, only upon
presentation of such Securities for notation thereon of the payment of such
interest. The interest on Registered Securities (together with any Additional
Amounts) shall be payable only to the Holders thereof and at the option of the
Corporation may be paid by (i) mailing checks for such interest payable to or
upon the order of such Holders at their last addresses as they appear on the
Security Register for such Securities or (ii) in the case of Holders of
U.S.$10,000,000 or more in aggregate principal amount of such Registered
Securities, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, but only if the
Trustee has received wire transfer instructions in writing not less than 15 days
prior to the applicable Interest Payment Date.

                  SECTION 4.02. Offices for Notices and Payments, Etc. As long
as any of the Securities of a series remain outstanding, the Corporation shall
designate and maintain, in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, an
office or agency where the Registered Securities of such series may be presented
for registration of transfer and for exchange as provided in this Indenture, an
office or agency where notices and demands to or upon the Corporation in respect
of the Securities of such series or of this Indenture may be served, and an
office or agency where the Securities of such series may be presented for
payment. The Corporation shall give to the Trustee notice of the location of
each such office or agency and of any change in the location thereof. In case
the Corporation shall fail to maintain any such office or agency in the Borough
of Manhattan, The City of New York, or shall fail to give such notice of the
location or of any change in the location thereof, presentations may be made and
notices and demands may be served at the corporate trust office of the Trustee
in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, and the Corporation hereby
appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive all such presentations, notices
and demands.

         If Unregistered Securities of any series are outstanding, the
Corporation shall maintain or cause the Trustee to maintain one or more agencies
in a city or cities located outside the United States (including any city in
which such an agency is required to be maintained under the rules of any
securities exchange on which the Securities of such series are listed) where
such Unregistered Securities, and Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto may be
presented for payment. No payment on any Unregistered Security or Coupon will be
made upon presentation of such Unregistered Security or Coupon at an

                                       19
<PAGE>   26

agency of the Corporation within the United States nor will any payment be made
by transfer to an account in, or by mail to an address in, the United States,
except, at the option of the Corporation, if the Corporation shall have
determined that, pursuant to applicable United States laws and regulations then
in effect such payment can be made without adverse tax consequences to the
Corporation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, payments in U.S. Dollars with
respect to Unregistered Securities of any series and Coupons appertaining
thereto that are payable in U.S. Dollars may be made at an agency of the
Corporation maintained in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York if
such payment in U.S. Dollars at each agency maintained by the Corporation
outside the United States for payment on such Unregistered Securities is illegal
or is effectively precluded by exchange controls or other similar restrictions.

         The Corporation hereby initially designates Bank One Trust Company,
N.A., located at its Corporate Trust Office, as the Security Registrar and as
the office or agency of the Corporation in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of
New York, where the Securities may be presented for payment and, in the case of
Registered Securities, for registration of transfer and for exchange as in this
Indenture provided and where notices and demands to or upon the Corporation in
respect of the Securities of any series or of this Indenture may be served.

                  SECTION 4.03. Provisions as to Paying Agent. (a) Whenever the
Corporation shall appoint a paying agent other than the Trustee with respect to
the Securities of any series, it will cause such paying agent to execute and
deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such agent shall agree with the
Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section:

                          (1)   that it will hold sums held by it as such agent
for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any), interest, if any, or
Additional Amounts, if any, on the Securities of such series in trust for the
benefit of the Holders of the Securities of such series, or Coupons appertaining
thereto, as the case may be, entitled thereto and will notify the Trustee of the
receipt of sums to be so held,

                          (2)   that it will give the Trustee notice of any
failure by the Corporation (or by any other obligor on the Securities of such
series) to make a payment of the principal of (or premium, if any), interest, if
any, or Additional Amounts, if any, on the Securities of such series when the
same shall be due and payable, and

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

                  (b)     If the Corporation shall act as its own paying agent,
it will, on or before each due date of the principal of (and premium, if any),
interest, if any, or Additional Amounts, if any, on the Securities of any series
set aside, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Holders of the
Securities of such series entitled thereto a sum sufficient to pay such
principal (and premium if any), interest, if any, or Additional Amounts, if any,
so becoming due. The Corporation will promptly notify the Trustee of any failure
to take such action.

                  (c)     Anything in this Section to the contrary
notwithstanding, the Corporation may, at any time, for the purpose of obtaining
a satisfaction and discharge with respect to one or more or all series of
Securities hereunder, or for any other reason, pay or cause to be paid to the
Trustee all sums held

                                       20
<PAGE>   27

in trust for such series by it or any paying agent hereunder as required by this
Section, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the trusts herein contained.

                  (d)     Anything in this Section to the contrary
notwithstanding, the agreement to hold sums in trust as provided in this Section
is subject to the provisions of Sections 12.04 and 12.05.

                  SECTION 4.04. Luxembourg Publications. In the event of the
publication of any notice pursuant to Section 3.02, 6.07, 7.10, 7.11, 9.02,
10.02 or 12.05, the party making such publication shall also, to the extent that
notice is required so to be given to Holders of Securities of a series by
applicable Luxembourg law or stock exchange regulation, make a similar
publication the same number of times in Luxembourg.

                  SECTION 4.05. Statement by Officers as to Default. The
Corporation shall deliver to the Trustee, on or before a date not more than four
months after the end of each fiscal year of the Corporation (which, on the date
of execution hereof, ends on December 31) ending after the date hereof,
commencing with the fiscal year ended in 2000, an Officers' Certificate, stating
whether or not to the best knowledge of the signers thereof the Corporation is
in default in the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions and
conditions of this Indenture to be performed or observed by it and, if the
Corporation shall be in default, specifying all such defaults and the nature
thereof of which they may have knowledge.

                  SECTION 4.06. Limitations on Liens. For the benefit of the
Securities, the Corporation shall not, nor shall it permit any Manufacturing
Subsidiary to, issue or assume any Debt secured by a Mortgage upon any Domestic
Manufacturing Property of the Corporation or of any Manufacturing Subsidiary or
upon any shares of stock or indebtedness of any Manufacturing Subsidiary
(whether such Domestic Manufacturing Property, shares of stock or indebtedness
are now owned or hereafter acquired) without in any such case effectively
providing concurrently with the issuance or assumption of any such Debt that the
Securities (together with, if the Corporation shall so determine, any other
indebtedness of the Corporation or such Manufacturing Subsidiary ranking equally
with the Securities and then existing or thereafter created) shall be secured
equally and ratably with such Debt, unless the aggregate amount of Debt issued
or assumed and so secured by Mortgages, together with (i) all other Debt of the
Corporation and its Manufacturing Subsidiaries which (if originally issued or
assumed at such time) would otherwise be subject to the foregoing restrictions,
but not including Debt permitted to be secured under clauses (i) through (v) of
the immediately following paragraph and not including Permitted Receivables
Financings, and (ii) all Attributable Debt of the Company and its Manufacturing
Subsidiaries in respect of sale and lease-back transactions, does not at the
time exceed 15% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets as shown on the audited
consolidated financial statements for the most recently completed fiscal year.

         The above restrictions shall not apply to: (i) Mortgages on property,
shares of stock or indebtedness of any entity existing at the time (a) such
entity becomes a Manufacturing Subsidiary or (b) of a sale, lease or other
disposition of all or substantially all of the properties of the entity to the
Corporation or a Manufacturing Subsidiary; (ii) Mortgages on property existing
at the time of acquisition of such property by the Corporation or a
Manufacturing Subsidiary, or Mortgages to secure the payment of all or any part
of the purchase price of such property upon the acquisition of such property by
the Corporation or a Manufacturing Subsidiary or to secure any Debt incurred
prior to, at the time of, or within 180 days after, the later of the date of
acquisition of such property and the date such property is placed in service,
for the purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase price thereof, or
Mortgages to secure any Debt

                                       21

<PAGE>   28

incurred for the purpose of financing the cost to the Corporation or a
Manufacturing Subsidiary of improvements to such acquired property; (iii)
Mortgages securing Debt of a Manufacturing Subsidiary owing to the Corporation
or to another Subsidiary; (iv) Mortgages on property of the Corporation or a
Manufacturing Subsidiary in favor of the United States of America or any State
thereof, or any department, agency or instrumentality or political subdivision
of the United States of America or any State thereof, or in favor of any other
country, or any political subdivision thereof, in connection with financing
arrangements between the Corporation or a Manufacturing Subsidiary and any of
the foregoing governmental bodies or agencies, to the extent that Mortgages are
required by the governmental programs under which those financing arrangements
are made, to secure partial, progress, advance or other payments pursuant to any
contract or statute or to secure any indebtedness incurred for the purpose of
financing all or any part of the purchase price or the cost of construction of
the property subject to such Mortgages or (v) any extension, renewal or
replacement (or successive extensions, renewals or replacements) in whole or in
part, of any Mortgage referred to in the foregoing clauses (i) to (v),
inclusively; provided however, that the principal amount of Debt secured thereby
shall not exceed the principal amount of Debt so secured at the time of such
extension, renewal or replacement and that such extension, renewal or
replacement shall be limited to all or a part of the property that secured the
Mortgage so extended, renewed or replaced (plus improvements on such property).

                  SECTION 4.07. Limitation on Sale and Lease-back. For the
benefit of the Holders of the Securities, the Corporation shall not, nor shall
it permit any Manufacturing Subsidiary to, enter into any arrangement with any
person providing for the leasing by the Corporation or any Manufacturing
Subsidiary of any Domestic Manufacturing Property owned by the Corporation or by
any Manufacturing Subsidiary on the date that the Securities are originally
issued (except for temporary leases for a term of not more than three years and
except for leases between the Corporation and a Manufacturing Subsidiary or
between Manufacturing Subsidiaries), which property has been or is to be sold or
transferred by the Corporation or such Manufacturing Subsidiary to such person,
unless either (i) the Corporation or such Manufacturing Subsidiary would be
entitled, pursuant to the provisions of the covenant on limitation on liens
described in Section 4.06, to issue, assume, extend, renew or replace Debt
secured by a Mortgage upon such Domestic Manufacturing Property equal in amount
to the Attributable Debt in respect of such arrangement without equally and
ratably securing the Securities; provided, however, that from and after the date
on which such arrangement becomes effective the Attributable Debt in respect of
such arrangement shall be deemed for all purposes under the covenant on
limitation on liens described in Section 4.06 and this covenant on limitation on
sale and lease-back to be Debt subject to the provisions of such covenant on
limitation on liens (which provisions include the exceptions set forth in
clauses (i) through (v) of such covenant), or (ii) the Corporation shall apply
an amount in cash equal to the Attributable Debt in respect of such arrangement
to the retirement (other than any mandatory retirement or by way of payment at
maturity), within 180 days of the effective date of any such arrangement, of
Debt of the Corporation or any Manufacturing Subsidiary (other than Debt owned
by the Corporation or any Manufacturing Subsidiary) which by its terms matures
at, or is extendible or renewable at the option of the obligor to, a date more
than twelve months after the date of the creation of such Debt.

                  SECTION 4.08. Definitions Applicable to Sections 4.06 and
4.07. The following definitions shall be applicable to the covenants contained
in Sections 4.06 and 4.07 hereof:

                  (a) "Attributable Debt" means, at the time of determination as
                  to any lease, the present value (discounted at the actual
                  rate, if stated, or, if no rate is stated, the implicit rate
                  of interest of such lease transaction as determined by the
                  Chairman, President, any Vice

                                       22
<PAGE>   29
                  Chairman, any Vice President, the Treasurer or any Assistant
                  Treasurer of the Corporation), calculated using the interval
                  of scheduled rental payments under such lease, of the
                  obligation of the lessee for net rental payments during the
                  remaining term of such lease (excluding any subsequent renewal
                  or other extension options held by the lessee). The term "net
                  rental payments" means, with respect to any lease for any
                  period, the sum of the rental and other payments required to
                  be paid in such period by the lessee thereunder, but not
                  including any amounts required to be paid by such lessee
                  (whether or not designated as rental or additional rental) on
                  account of maintenance and repairs, insurance, taxes,
                  assessments, water rates, indemnities or similar charges
                  required to be paid by such lessee thereunder or any amounts
                  required to be paid by such lessee thereunder contingent upon
                  the amount of sales, earnings or profits or of maintenance and
                  repairs, insurance, taxes, assessments, water rates,
                  indemnities or similar charges; provided, however, that, in
                  the case of any lease which is terminable by the lessee upon
                  the payment of a penalty in an amount which is less than the

                        THE CORPORATION AND THE TRUSTEE.

                  SECTION 5.01. Securityholder Lists. The Corporation covenants
and agrees that it will furnish or cause to be furnished to the Trustee with
respect to the Securities of each series:

                  (a)    semiannually, not later than each Interest Payment Date
(in the case of any series having semiannual Interest Payment Dates) or not
later than the dates determined pursuant to Section 2.01 (in the case of any
series not having semiannual Interest Payment Dates) a list, in such form as the
Trustee may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of the Holders of
Securities of such series as of the Regular Record Date (or as of such other
date as may be determined pursuant to Section 2.01 for such series) therefor,
and

                  (b)    at such other times as the Trustee may request in
writing within thirty days after receipt by the Corporation of any such request,
a list in such form as the Trustee may reasonably require

                                       24
<PAGE>   31

of the names and addresses of the Holders of Securities of a particular series
specified by the Trustee as of a date not more than fifteen days prior to the
time such information is furnished; provided, however, that if and so long as
the Trustee shall be the Security Registrar any such list shall exclude names
and addresses received by the Trustee in its capacity as Security Registrar, and
if and so long as all of the Securities of any series are Registered Securities,
such list shall not be required to be furnished.

                  SECTION 5.02. Preservation and Disclosure of Lists. (a) The
Trustee shall preserve, in as current a form as is reasonably practicable, all
information as to the names and addresses of the Holders of each series of
Securities (i) contained in the most recent list furnished to it as provided in
Section 5.01, (ii) received by the Trustee in its capacity as Security Registrar
or Paying Agent, or (iii) filed with it within the preceding two years pursuant
to Section 313(c) of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939. The Trustee may destroy
any list furnished to it as provided in Section 5.01 upon receipt of a new list
so furnished.

                  (b)    In case three or more Holders of Securities
(hereinafter referred to as "applicants") apply in writing to the Trustee and
furnish to the Trustee reasonable proof that each such applicant has owned a
Security of such series for a period of at least six months preceding the date
of such application, and such application states that the applicants desire to
communicate with other Holders of Securities of a particular series (in which
case the applicants must hold Securities of such series) or with Holders of all
Securities with respect to their rights under this Indenture or under such
Securities and it is accompanied by a copy of the form of proxy or other
communication that such applicants propose to transmit, then the Trustee shall,
within five business days after the receipt of such application, at its
election, either:

                         (1)      afford to such applicants access to the
information preserved at the time by the Trustee in accordance with the
provisions of subsection (a) of this Section, or

                         (2)      inform such applicants as to the approximate
number of Holders of Securities of such series or all Securities, as the case
may be, whose names and addresses appear in the information preserved at the
time by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of subsection (a) of this
Section, and as to the approximate cost of mailing to such Securityholders the
form of proxy or other communication, if any, specified in such application.

         If the Trustee shall elect not to afford to such applicants access to
such information, the Trustee shall, upon the written request of such
applicants, mail to each Holder of such series or all Securities, as the case
may be, whose name and address appear in the information preserved at the time
by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions of subsection (a) of this
Section, a copy of the form of proxy or other communication that is specified in
such request, with reasonable promptness after a tender to the Trustee of the
material to be mailed and of payment, or provision for the payment, of the
reasonable expenses of mailing, unless within five days after such tender, the
Trustee shall mail to such applicants and file with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, together with a copy of the material to be mailed, a written
statement to the effect that, in the opinion of the Trustee, such mailing would
be contrary to the best interests of the Holders of Securities of such series or
all Securities, as the case may be, or would be in violation of applicable law.
Such written statement shall specify the basis of such opinion. If said
Commission, after opportunity for appearing upon the objections specified in the
written statement so filed, shall enter an order refusing to sustain any of such
objections or if, after the entry of an order sustaining one or more of such
objections, said Commission shall find, after notice and opportunity for

                                       25
<PAGE>   32

hearing, that all the objections so sustained have been met, and shall enter an
order so declaring, the Trustee shall mail copies of such material to all such
Holders with reasonable promptness after the entry of such order and the renewal
of such tender; otherwise the Trustee shall be relieved of any obligation or
duty to such applicants respecting their application.

                  (c)    Each and every Holder of Securities, by receiving and
holding the same, agrees with the Corporation and the Trustee that neither the
Corporation nor the Trustee nor any agent of the Corporation or of the Trustee
shall be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information
as to the names and addresses of the Holders of Securities in accordance with
the provisions of subsection (b) of this Section, 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
said subsection (b).

                  SECTION 5.03. Reports by the Corporation. The Corporation
covenants:
                  (a)    to file with the Trustee within fifteen days after the
Corporation is required to file the same with the Securities and Exchange
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 said
Commission may from time to time by rules and regulations prescribe) which the
Corporation may be required to file with said Commission pursuant to Section 13
or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; or, if the Corporation
is not required to file information, documents or reports pursuant to either of
such sections, then to file with the Trustee and said Commission, in accordance
with rules and regulations prescribed from time to time by said Commission, such

be required pursuant to Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 in
respect of a security listed and registered on a national securities exchange as
may be prescribed from time to time in such rules and regulations.

                  (b)    to file with the Trustee and the Securities and
Exchange Commission, in accordance with the rules and regulations prescribed
from time to time by said Commission, such additional information, documents,
and reports with respect to compliance by the Corporation with the conditions
and covenants provided for in this Indenture as may be required from time to
time by such rules and regulations;

                  (c)    to transmit by mail to all the Holders of Securities of
each series, as the names and addresses of such Holders appear on the Security
Register, within thirty days after the filing thereof with the Trustee, such
summaries of any information, documents and reports required to be filed by the
Corporation with respect to each such series pursuant to subsections (a) and (b)
of this Section as may be required by rules and regulations prescribed from time
to time by the Securities and Exchange Commission; and

                  (d)    If Unregistered Securities of any series are
outstanding, to file with the listing agent of the Corporation with respect to
such series such documents and reports of the Corporation as may be required
from time to time by the rules and regulations of any stock exchange on which
such Unregistered Securities are listed.

of any series are outstanding hereunder, the Trustee shall transmit to the
Holders of Securities of such series, in the manner provided by Section 313(c)
of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, a brief report dated as of the preceding
February 15, as may be required by Sections 313(a) and (b) of the Trust
Indenture Act of 1939.

                  (b)    A copy of each such report shall, at the time of such
transmission to Holders of Securities of a particular series, be filed by the
Trustee with each stock exchange upon which the Securities of such series are
listed and also with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Corporation
agrees to notify the Trustee when and as the Securities of any series become
listed on any stock exchange.

                                   ARTICLE VI.

                              REMEDIES ON DEFAULT.

                  (a)    default in the payment of the principal of (or premium,
if any, on) any of the Securities of such series as and when the same shall
become due and payable either at maturity, upon redemption, by declaration or

after written notice from the Trustee; or

                  (b)    default in the payment of any installment of interest,
if any, or in the payment of any Additional Amounts upon any of the Securities

continuance of such default for a period of thirty days after written notice
from the Trustee; or

                  (c)    failure on the part of the Corporation duly to observe
or perform any other of the covenants or agreements on the part of the
Corporation applicable to such series of the Securities or contained in this
Indenture for a period of ninety days after the date on which written notice of
such failure, requiring the Corporation to remedy the same, shall have been
given to the Corporation by the Trustee, or to the Corporation and the Trustee
by the Holders of at least twenty-five percent in aggregate principal amount of
the Securities of such series at the time outstanding; or

                  (d)    default by the Corporation or any Significant
Subsidiary in any payment of $25,000,000 or more of principal of or interest on
any Debt or in the payment of $25,000,000 or more on account of any guarantee in
respect of Debt, beyond any period of grace that may be provided in the
instrument or agreement under which such Debt or guarantee was created.

                  (e)    a court having jurisdiction in the premises shall enter
a decree or order for relief in respect of the Corporation in an involuntary
case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or
hereafter in effect, or appoint a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian,
trustee, sequestrator (or similar official) of the Corporation or for any
substantial part of its property, or ordering

                                       27
<PAGE>   34

the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, and such decree or order shall
remain unstayed, undismissed and unbonded and in effect for a period of ninety
days; or

                  (f)    the Corporation shall commence a voluntary case under
any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in
effect, or shall consent to the entry of an order for relief in an involuntary

possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator
(or similar official) of the Corporation or for a substantial part of its
property, or shall make any general assignment for the benefit of creditors;

then if an Event of Default described in clause (a), (b), (c) or (d) shall have
occurred and be continuing, and in each and every such case, unless the
principal amount of all the Securities of such series shall have already become
due and payable, either the Trustee or the Holders of not less than twenty-five
percent in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of all series affected
thereby then outstanding hereunder, by notice in writing to the Corporation (and
to the Trustee if given by Holders of such Securities) may declare the principal
amount of all the Securities (or, with respect to Original Issue Discount
Securities, such lesser amount as may be specified in the terms of such
Securities) of the series affected thereby to be due and payable immediately,
and upon any such declaration the same shall become and shall be immediately due
and payable, any provision of this Indenture or the Securities of such series to
the contrary notwithstanding, or, if an Event of Default described in clause (e)
or (f) shall have occurred and be continuing, and in each and every such case,
either the Trustee or the Holders of not less than twenty-five percent in
aggregate principal amount of all the Securities then outstanding hereunder
(voting as one class), by notice in writing to the Corporation (and to the
Trustee if given by Holders of securities), may declare the principal of all the
Securities not already due and payable (or, with respect to Original Issue
Discount Securities, such lesser amount as may be specified in the terms of such
Securities) to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the
same shall become and shall be immediately due and payable, any provision in
this Indenture or in the Securities to the contrary notwithstanding. The
foregoing provisions, however, are subject to the conditions that if, at any
time after the principal of the Securities of any one or more or all series, as
the case may be, shall have been so declared due and payable, and before any
judgment or decree for the payment of the moneys due shall have been obtained or
entered as hereinafter provided, the Corporation shall pay or shall deposit with
the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay all matured installments of interest, if
any, and all Additional Amounts, if any, due upon all the Securities of such
series or of all the Securities, as the case may be, and the principal of (and
premium, if any, on) all Securities of such series or of all the Securities, as
the case may be (or, with respect to Original Issue Discount Securities, such
lesser amount as may be specified in the terms of such Securities), which shall
have become due otherwise than by acceleration (with interest, if any, upon such
principal and premium, if any, and, to the extent that payment of such interest
is enforceable under applicable law, on overdue installments of interest and
Additional Amounts, if any, at the same rate as the rate of interest specified
in the Securities of such series, as the case may be (or, with respect to
Original Issue Discount Securities, at the rate specified in the terms of such
Securities for interest on overdue principal thereof upon maturity, redemption
or acceleration of such series, as the case may be), to the date of such payment
or deposit), and such amount as shall be payable to the Trustee pursuant to
Section 7.06, and any and all defaults under the Indenture shall have been
remedied, then and in every such case the Holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Securities of such series (or of all the Securities, as
the case may be) then outstanding, by written notice to the Corporation and to
the Trustee, may waive all defaults with respect to that series or with respect
to all Securities, as the case may be, and rescind and annul such declaration
and its consequences; but no such waiver or rescission and annulment

                                       28
<PAGE>   35

shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent default or shall impair any right
consequent thereon. If the principal of all Securities shall have been declared
to be payable pursuant to this Section 6.01, in determining whether the Holders
of a majority in aggregate principal amount thereof have waived all defaults and
rescinded and annulled such declaration, all series of Securities shall be
treated as a single class and the principal amount of Original Issue Discount
Securities shall be deemed to be the amount declared payable under the terms
applicable to such Original Issue Discount Securities.

         In case the Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce any right under
this Indenture and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned
because of such rescission and annulment or for any other reason or shall have
been determined adversely to the Trustee, then and in every such case the
Corporation, Trustee and the Holders of Securities, as the case may be, shall be
restored respectively to their former positions and rights hereunder, and all
rights, remedies and powers of the Corporation, the Trustee and the Holders of
Securities, as the case may be, shall continue as though no such proceedings had
been taken.

                  SECTION 6.02. Payment of Securities on Default; Suit Therefor.
The Corporation covenants that (1) in case default shall be made in the payment
of any installment of interest, if any, on any of the Securities of any series
or any Additional Amounts payable in respect of any of the Securities of any
series, as and when the same shall become due and payable, and such default
shall have continued for a period of thirty days or (2) in case default shall be
made in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any of the
Securities of any series, as and when the same shall have become due and
payable, and such default shall have been contained for a period of Five
Business Days, whether upon maturity of such series or upon redemption or upon
declaration or otherwise, then upon demand of the Trustee, the Corporation shall
pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of the Securities of such
series, and the Coupons, if any, appertaining to such Securities, the whole
amount that then shall have become due and payable on all such Securities of
such series and such Coupons, for principal (and premium, if any) or interest,
if any, or Additional Amounts, if any as the case may be, with interest upon the
overdue principal (and premium, if any) and (to the extent that payment of such
interest is enforceable under applicable law) upon overdue installments of
interest, if any, and Additional Amounts, if any, at the same rate as the rate
of interest specified in the Securities of such series (or, with respect to
Original Issue Discount Securities, at the rate specified in the terms of such
Securities for interest on overdue principal thereof upon maturity, redemption
or acceleration); and, in addition thereto, such further amounts as shall be
payable pursuant to Section 7.06.

         In case the Corporation shall fail forthwith to pay such amounts upon
such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust,
shall be entitled and empowered to institute any action or proceedings at law or
in equity for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute
any such action or proceedings to judgment or final decree, and may enforce any
such judgment or final decree against the Corporation or other obligor upon such
Securities and collect in the manner provided by law out of the property of the
Corporation or other obligor upon such Securities wherever situated the moneys
adjudged or decreed to be payable.

         In case there shall be pending proceedings for the bankruptcy or for
the reorganization of the Corporation or any other obligor upon Securities of
any series under Title 11 of the United States Code or any other applicable law,
or in case a receiver or trustee shall have been appointed for the property of
the Corporation or such other obligor, or in case of any other judicial
proceedings relative to the Corporation or such other obligor, or to the
creditors or property of the Corporation or such other obligor, the Trustee,

                                       29
<PAGE>   36

irrespective of whether the principal of the Securities of such series shall
then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and
irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand pursuant to the
provisions of this Section, shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in
such proceedings or otherwise, to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole
amount of principal (or, with respect to Original Issue Discount Securities,
such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of that
series), and premium, if any, interest, if any, and Additional Amounts, if any,
owing and unpaid in respect of the Securities of such series, and to file such
other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the
claims of the Trustee under Section 7.06 and of the Holders of the Securities
and Coupons of such series allowed in any such judicial proceedings relative to
the Corporation or other obligor upon the Securities of such series, or to the
creditors or property of the Corporation or such other obligor, and to collect
and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such
claims, and to distribute all amounts received with respect to the claims of the
Securityholders of such series and of the Trustee on their behalf; and any
receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization is hereby
authorized by each of the Holders of the Securities and Coupons of such series
to make payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent
to the making of payments directly to the Securityholders of such series, to pay
to the Trustee such amount as shall be sufficient to cover reasonable
compensation to the Trustee, its agents, attorneys and counsel, and all other
reasonable expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the
Trustee except as a result of its negligence or bad faith.

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

         All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture, or
under any of the Securities, may be enforced by the Trustee without the
possession of any of the Securities or Coupons appertaining to such Securities,
or the production thereof in any trial or other proceedings relative thereto,
and any such action or proceedings instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in
its own name and as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment
shall be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securities or Coupons
appertaining thereto.

         In case of a default hereunder the Trustee may in its discretion
proceed to protect and enforce the rights vested in it by this Indenture by such
appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to
protect and enforce any of such rights, either at law or in equity or in
bankruptcy or otherwise, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or
agreement contained in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power
granted in this Indenture, or to enforce any other legal or equitable right
vested in the Trustee by this Indenture or by law.

                  SECTION 6.03. Application of Moneys Collected by Trustee. Any
moneys collected by the Trustee pursuant to Section 6.02 shall be applied in the
following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the
distribution of such moneys on account of principal (or premium, if any) or
interest, if any, upon presentation of the several Securities and Coupons in
respect of which moneys have been collected, and stamping thereon the payment,
if only partially paid, and upon surrender thereof, if fully paid:

         FIRST: To the payment of the amounts payable to the Trustee pursuant to
Section 7.06;

                                       30
<PAGE>   37

         SECOND: In case the principal of the Securities in respect of which
moneys have been collected shall not have become due, to the payment of
interest, if any, and Additional Amounts, if any, on the Securities of such
series in the order of the maturity of the installments of such interest, with
interest (to the extent that such interest has been collected by the Trustee)
upon the overdue installments of interest and Additional Amounts, if any, at the
same rate as the rate of interest, if any, specified in the Securities of such
series (or, with respect to Original Issue Discount Securities, at the rate
specified in the terms of such Securities for interest on overdue principal
thereof upon maturity, redemption or acceleration), such payments to be made
ratably to the persons entitled thereto, without discrimination or preference;
and

         THIRD: In case the principal of the Securities in respect of which
moneys have been collected shall have become due, by declaration or otherwise,
to the payment of the whole amount then owing and unpaid upon the Securities of
such series for principal (and premium, if any), interest, if any, and
Additional Amounts, if any, and (to the extent that such interest has been
collected by the Trustee) upon overdue installments of interest, if any, and
Additional Amounts, if any, at the same rate as the rate of interest specified
in the Securities of such series (or, with respect to Original Issue Discount
Securities, at the rate specified in the terms of such Securities for interest
on overdue principal thereof upon maturity, redemption or acceleration); and in
case such moneys shall be insufficient to pay in full the whole amount so due
and unpaid upon the Securities of such series, then to the payment of such
principal (and premium, if any), interest, if any, and Additional Amounts, if
any, without preference or priority of principal (and premium, if any), over
interest, if any, and Additional Amounts, if any, or of interest, if any, and
Additional Amounts, if any, over principal (and premium, if any), or of any
installment of interest, if any, or Additional Amounts, if any, over any other
installment of interest, if any, or Additional Amounts, if any, or of any
Security of such series over any other Security of such series, ratably to the
aggregate of such principal (and premium, if any), and accrued and unpaid
interest, if any, and Additional Amounts, if any.

                  SECTION 6.04. Proceedings by Securityholders. No Holder of any
Security of any series or of any Coupon appertaining thereto shall have any
right by virtue or by availing of any provision of this Indenture to institute
any action or proceedings at law or in equity or in bankruptcy or otherwise,
upon or under or with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a
receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless such Holder
previously shall have given to the Trustee written notice of default and of the
continuance thereof, as hereinbefore provided, and unless also the Holders of
not less than twenty-five percent in aggregate principal amount of the
Securities of such series then outstanding or, in the case of any Event of
Default described in clause (d) or (e) of Section 6.01, twenty-five per cent in
aggregate principal amount of all the Securities at the time outstanding (voting
as one class) shall have made written request upon the Trustee to institute such
action or proceedings in its own name as Trustee hereunder and shall have
offered to the Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it may require against the
costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby, and the
Trustee for sixty days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of
indemnity shall have failed to institute any such action or proceedings and no
direction inconsistent with such written request shall have been given to the
Trustee pursuant to Section 6.06; it being understood and intended and being
expressly covenanted by the taker and Holder of every Security with every other
taker and Holder and the Trustee, that no one or more Holders of Securities or
Coupons appertaining to such Securities shall have any right in any manner
whatever by virtue of or by availing himself, herself or itself of any provision
of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holder
of Securities or Coupons appertaining to such Securities, or to obtain or seek
to obtain priority over or preference to any other such Holder or to enforce any
right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the
equal, ratable and

                                       31
<PAGE>   38

common benefit of all Holders of Securities and Coupons. For the protection and
enforcement of the revisions of this Section, each and every Securityholder and
the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in
equity.

         Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Indenture, however, the
right of any Holder of any Security to receive payment of the principal of (and
premium, if any) and interest, if any, and Additional Amounts, if any, on such
Security or Coupon, on or after the respective due dates expressed in such
Security or Coupon, or to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment
on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the
consent of such Holder. With respect to original Issue Discount Securities,
principal shall mean such amount as shall be due and payable as may be specified
in the terms of such Securities.

                  SECTION 6.05. Remedies Cumulative and Continuing. All powers
and remedies given by this Article Six to the Trustee or to the Holders of
Securities or Coupons shall, to the extent permitted by law, be deemed
cumulative and not exclusive of any thereof or of any other powers and remedies
available to the Trustee or the Holders of Securities or Coupons, by judicial
proceedings or otherwise, to enforce the performance or observance of the
covenants and agreements contained in this Indenture, and no delay or omission
of the Trustee or of any Holder of any of the Securities or Coupons to exercise
any right or power accruing upon any default occurring and continuing as
aforesaid shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a
waiver of any such default or an acquiescence therein; and, subject to the
provisions of Section 6.04, every power and remedy given by this Article Six or
by law to the Trustee or to the Holders of Securities or Coupons may be
exercised from time to time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient, by the
Trustee or by the Holders of Securities or Coupons, as the case may be.

                  SECTION 6.06. Direction of Proceedings. The Holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any or all series
affected (voting as one class) at the time outstanding 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, however, that (i) such direction shall not be in conflict
with any rule of law or with this Indenture, (ii) the Trustee may take any other
action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction
and (iii) the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such
direction if the Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines that the action
or proceedings so directed would be prejudicial to the Holders not joining in
such direction or may not lawfully be taken or if the Trustee in good faith by
its board of directors or executive committee or a trust committee of directors
or trustees and/or responsible officers shall determine that the action or
proceedings so directed would involve the Trustee in personal liability.

         Prior to any declaration accelerating the maturity of the Securities of
any series, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Securities of such series at the time outstanding may on behalf of the Holders
of all of the Securities of such series waive any past default or Event of
Default hereunder and its consequences, except a default in the payment of
principal of (premium, if any) or interest, if any, or Additional Amounts, if
any, on any Securities of such series or in respect of a covenant or provision
hereof that may not be modified or amended without the consent of the Holders of
each outstanding Security of such series affected. Upon any such waiver the
Corporation, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities of such series shall
be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively, but no
such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or Event of Default
or

                                       32

<PAGE>   39

impair any right consequent thereon. Whenever any default or Event of Default
hereunder shall have been waived as permitted by this Section 6.06, said default
or Event of Default shall for all purposes of the Securities of such series and
this Indenture be deemed to have been cured and to be not continuing.

                  SECTION 6.07. Notice of Defaults. The Trustee shall, within
ninety days after the occurrence of a default with respect to the Securities of
any series, give notice of all defaults with respect to that series known to the
Trustee (i) if any Unregistered Securities of that series are then outstanding,
to the Holders thereof, by publication at least once in an Authorized Newspaper
in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York and at least once in an
Authorized Newspaper in London (and, if required by Section 4.04, at least once
in an Authorized Newspaper in Luxembourg), (ii) if any Unregistered Securities
of that series are then outstanding, to all Holders thereof who have filed their
names and addresses with the Trustee as described in Section 313(c) of the Trust
Indenture Act of 1939, by mailing such notice to such Holders at such addresses
and (iii) to all Holders of then outstanding Registered Securities of that
series, by mailing such notice to such Holders at their addresses as they shall
appear on the Security Register, unless in each case such defaults shall have
been cured before the mailing or publication of such notice (the term "defaults"
for the purpose of this Section being hereby defined to be the events specified
in Sections 6.01(a), (b), (c), (d), (e) and (f) and any additional events
specified in the terms of any series of Securities pursuant to Section 2.01, not
including periods of grace, if any, provided for therein, and irrespective of
the giving of written notice specified in Section 6.01 (c) or in the terms of
any Securities established pursuant to Section 2.01); and provided that, except
in the case of default in the payment of the principal of (premium, if any),
interest, if any, or Additional Amounts, if any, on any of 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 trust committee of
directors or responsible officers of the Trustee in good faith determines that
the withholding of such notice is in the interests of the Holders of the
Securities of such series.

                  SECTION 6.08. Undertaking to Pay Costs. All parties to this
Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Security by his, her or its acceptance
thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion
require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this
Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by
it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking
to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess
reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees, against any party
litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the
claims or defenses made by such party litigant; provided that, the provisions of
this Section shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit
instituted by any Securityholders of any series, or group of such
Securityholders, holding in the aggregate more than ten percent in aggregate
principal amount of all Securities (voting as one class) or to any suit
instituted by any Securityholders for the enforcement of the payment of the
principal of (or premium, if any), interest, if any, or Additional Amounts, if
any, on any Security on or after the due date expressed in such Security.

                                  ARTICLE VII.

                             CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE.

                                       33
<PAGE>   40

                  SECTION 7.01. Duties and Responsibilities of Trustee. The
Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default of a particular series
and after the curing of all Events of Default of such series that 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 with
respect to a particular series has occurred (which has not been cured) 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 its exercise, as a
prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his
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:

                  (a)    prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default with
respect to a particular series and after the curing of all Events of Default
with respect to such series that may have occurred:

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

                         (2)      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 or not
they conform to the requirements of this Indenture;

                  (b)    the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of
judgment made in good faith by a responsible officer or officers, unless it
shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent
facts; and

                  (c)    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 Securities pursuant to Section 6.06 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.

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

                  SECTION 7.02.  Reliance on Documents, Opinions, Etc.  Subject
to the provisions of Section 7.01:

                  (a)    the Trustee may rely, and shall be protected in acting
or refraining from acting, upon any resolution, certificate, statement,
instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order,

                                       34

<PAGE>   41

bond, debenture, note, Coupon or other paper or document believed by it to be
genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties;

                  (b)    any request, direction, order or demand of the
Corporation mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by an instrument
signed in the name of the Corporation by the Chairman of the Board of Directors
or any Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors or the President or any Vice
President or the Treasurer or any Assistant Treasurer and by the Secretary or
any Assistant Secretary or, if the other signatory is other than the Treasurer
or any Assistant Treasurer, any Assistant Treasurer (unless other evidence in
respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed); and a Board Resolution may
be evidenced to the Trustee by a copy thereof certified by the Secretary or any
Assistant Secretary of the Corporation;

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

                  (d)    the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise
any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request, order
or direction of any of the Securityholders, pursuant to the provisions of this
Indenture, unless such Securityholders shall have offered to the Trustee
reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses, and liabilities
which might be incurred therein or thereby;

                  (e)    the Trustee shall not be bound to make any
investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate,
statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent,
order, bond, debenture, note, coupon or other paper or document, 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
relevant books, records and premises of the Corporation, personally or by agent
or attorney;

                  (f)    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, provided, however, that the Trustee shall be responsible
for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent or attorney appointed
by it hereunder; and

                  (g)    the Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken by
it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or
rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture.

                  SECTION 7.03. No Responsibility for Recitals, Etc. The
recitals contained herein and in the Securities, other than the Trustee's
certificate of authentication, shall be taken as the statements of the
Corporation, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness of
the same. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency
of this Indenture or of the Securities, provided that the Trustee shall not be
relieved of its duty to authenticate Securities only as authorized by this
Indenture. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by
the Corporation of Securities or the proceeds thereof.

                                       35
<PAGE>   42

                  SECTION 7.04. Ownership of Securities or Coupons. The Trustee
or any agent of the Corporation or of the Trustee, in its individual or any
other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities or Coupons with
the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, or an agent of the
Corporation or of the Trustee.

                  SECTION 7.05. Moneys to Be Held in Trust. Subject to the
provisions of Sections 12.04 and 12.05 hereof, all moneys received by the
Trustee or any paying agent shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be
held in trust for the purposes for which they were received but need not be
segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. Neither the
Trustee nor any paying agent shall be under any liability for interest on any
moneys received by it hereunder except such as it may agree with the Corporation
to pay thereon. So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, all interest allowed on any such moneys shall be paid from time to
time upon the written order of the Corporation, signed by its Chairman of the
Board of Directors or any Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors or its
President or any Vice President or its Treasurer or any Assistant Treasurer.

                  SECTION 7.06. Compensation and Expenses of Trustee. The
Corporation covenants and agrees to pay to the Trustee from time to time, and
the Trustee shall be entitled to, reasonable compensation, and, except as
otherwise expressly provided, the Corporation will pay or reimburse the Trustee
upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances
incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any of the provisions of this
Indenture (including the reasonable compensation, expenses and disbursements of
its counsel and of all persons not regularly in its employ) except any such
expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its negligence or bad faith.
If any property other than cash shall at any time be subject to the lien of this
Indenture, the Trustee, if and to the extent authorized by a receivership or
bankruptcy court of competent jurisdiction or by the supplemental instrument
subjecting such property to such lien, shall be entitled to make advances for
the purpose of preserving such property or of discharging tax liens or other
prior liens or encumbrances hereon. The Corporation also covenants to indemnify
the Trustee for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or
reasonable expense incurred without negligence or bad faith on the part of the
Trustee, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration
of this trust, including the reasonable costs and expenses of defending itself
against any claim of liability in the premises. The obligations of the
Corporation under this Section to compensate the Trustee and to pay or reimburse
the Trustee for reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances shall constitute
additional indebtedness hereunder. 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 benefit of
the Holders of particular Securities or Coupons.

                  SECTION 7.07. Officers' Certificate as Evidence. Subject to
the provisions of Section 7.01, whenever in the administration of the provisions
of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter
be proved or established prior to taking or suffering any action to be taken
hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein
specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of negligence or bad faith on the
part of the Trustee, be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by an
Officers' Certificate delivered to the Trustee, and such Certificate, in the
absence of negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, shall be full
warrant to the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it under the
provisions of this Indenture upon the faith thereof.

                                       36
<PAGE>   43

                  SECTION 7.08.  Conflicting Interest of Trustee. The Trustee
shall comply with Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939.

                  SECTION 7.09.  Eligibility of Trustee. There shall at all
times be a trustee hereunder which shall be a corporation organized and doing
business under the laws of the United States or of any State or Territory
thereof or of the District of Columbia, which (a) is authorized under such laws
to exercise corporate trust powers and (b) is subject to supervision or
examination by Federal, State, Territorial or District of Columbia authority and
(c) shall have at all times a combined capital and surplus of not less than U.S.
$50 million. If such corporation publishes reports of condition at least
annually, pursuant to law, or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising
or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined
capital and surplus of such corporation at any time shall be deemed to be its
combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition
so published. In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in
accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee shall resign
immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 7.10.

                  SECTION 7.10. Resignation or Removal of Trustee. (a) The
Trustee, or any trustee or trustees hereafter appointed, may, upon sixty days
written notice to the Corporation, at any time resign with respect to one or
more or all series by giving written notice of resignation to the Corporation
(i) if any Unregistered Securities of a series affected are then outstanding, by
giving notice of such resignation to the Holders thereof, by publication at
least once in an Authorized Newspaper in London (and, if required by Section
4.04, at least once in an Authorized Newspaper in Luxembourg), (ii) if any
Unregistered Securities of a series affected are then outstanding, by mailing
notice of such resignation to the Holders thereof who have filed their names and
addresses with the Trustee as described in Section 313(c) of the Trust Indenture
Act of 1939 at such addresses as were so furnished to the Trustee and (iii) by
mailing notice of such resignation to the Holders of then outstanding Registered
Securities of each series affected at their addresses as they shall appear on
the Security Register. Upon receiving such notice of resignation the Corporation
shall promptly appoint a successor trustee with respect to the applicable series
by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by order of the Board of Directors
of the Corporation, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the
resigning Trustee and one copy to the successor trustee. If no successor trustee
shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within thirty days
after the mailing of such notice of resignation to the Securityholders, the
resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of a successor trustee, or any Securityholder who has been a bona
fide Holder of a Security or Securities of the applicable series for at least
six months may, subject to the provisions of Section 6.08, on behalf of himself,
herself or itself and all others similarly situated, petition any such court for
the appointment of a successor trustee. Such court may thereupon, after such
notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, appoint a successor
trustee.

                  (b)      In case at any time any of the following shall occur:

                           (i)   the Trustee shall fail to comply with Section
7.08 with respect to any series of Securities after written request therefor by
the Corporation or by any Securityholder who has been a bona fide Holder of a
Security or Securities of such series for at least six months, or

                                       37

<PAGE>   44

                           (ii)  the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in
accordance with the provision of Section 7.09 with respect to any series of
Securities and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the
Corporation or by any such Securityholder, or

                           (iii) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting
with respect to any series of Securities, 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, the Corporation may remove the Trustee
with respect to the applicable series of Securities and appoint a successor
trustee with respect to such series by written instrument, in duplicate,
executed by order of the Board of Directors of the Corporation, one copy of
which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and one copy to
the successor trustee, or, subject to the provisions of Section 6.08, any
Securityholder of such series who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security or
Securities of the applicable series for at least six months may, on behalf of
himself, herself or itself and all others similarly situated, petition any court
of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of
a successor trustee with respect to such series. Such court may thereupon, after
such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, remove the Trustee and
appoint a successor trustee.

                  (c)    The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount
of the Securities of all series (voting as one class) at the time outstanding
may at any time remove the Trustee with respect to Securities of all series and
appoint a successor trustee with respect to the Securities of all series.

                  (d)    Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and any
appointment of a successor trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this
Section shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor
trustee as provided in Section 7.11.

                  SECTION 7.11. Acceptance by Successor Trustee. Any successor
trustee appointed as provided in Section 7.10 shall execute, acknowledge and
deliver to the Corporation and to its predecessor trustee an instrument
accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal
the predecessor trustee with respect to all or any applicable series shall
become effective and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or
conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, duties and
obligations with respect to such series of its predecessor hereunder, with like
effect as if originally named as trustee herein; but, on the written request of
the Corporation or of the successor trustee, the trustee ceasing to act shall,
upon payment of any amounts then due it pursuant to the provisions of Section
7.06, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor trustee
all the rights and powers of the trustee so ceasing to act. Upon request of any
such successor trustee, the Corporation shall execute any and all instruments in
writing in order more fully and certainly to vest in and confirm to such
successor trustee all such rights and powers. Any trustee ceasing to act shall,
nevertheless, retain a lien upon all property or funds held or collected by such
trustee to secure any amounts then due it pursuant to the provisions of Section
7.06.

         In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor trustee with
respect to the Securities of one or more (but not all) series, the Corporation,
the predecessor Trustee and each successor trustee with respect to the
Securities of any applicable series shall execute and deliver an indenture
supplemental hereto that shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed
necessary or desirable to confirm that all the

                                       38

<PAGE>   45

rights, powers, trusts and duties of the predecessor Trustee with respect to the
Securities of any series as to which the predecessor Trustee is not retiring
shall continue to be vested in the predecessor Trustee, and 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.

         No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this
Section unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall be
qualified under the provisions of Section 7.08 and eligible under the provisions
of Section 7.09.

         Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in
this Section, the Corporation shall give notice of the succession of such
trustee hereunder (a) if any Unregistered Securities of a series affected are
then outstanding, to the Holders thereof by publication of such notice at least
once in an Authorized Newspaper in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New
York and at least once in an Authorized Newspaper in London (and, if required by
Section 4.04, at least once in an Authorized Newspaper in Luxembourg), (b) if
any Unregistered Securities of a series affected are then outstanding, to the
Holders thereof who have filed their names and addresses with the Trustee
pursuant to Section 313(c) of the Trust Indenture Act, by mailing such notice to
such Holders at such addresses as were so furnished to the Trustee (and the
Trustee shall make such information available to the Corporation for such
purpose) and (c) to the Holders of Registered Securities of each series
affected, by mailing such notice to such Holders at their addresses as they
shall appear on the Security Register. If the Corporation fails to mail such
notice in the prescribed manner within ten days after the acceptance of
appointment by the successor trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such
notice to be so given at the expense of the Corporation.

                  SECTION 7.12. Successor by Merger, Etc. 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 the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the
successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation shall be qualified
under the provisions of Section 7.08 and eligible under the provisions of
Section 7.09, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on
the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding.

                  SECTION 7.13. Limitations on Rights of Trustee as Creditor.
The Trustee shall comply with Section 311(a) of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939.

                                  ARTICLE VIII.

                         CONCERNING THE SECURITYHOLDERS.

                  SECTION 8.01. Action by Securityholders. Whenever in this
Indenture it is provided that the Holders of a specified percentage in aggregate
principal amount of the Securities of any or all series may take any action
(including the making of any demand or request, the giving of any notice,
consent or waiver or the taking of any other action), the fact that at the time
of taking any such action the Holders of such specified percentage have joined
therein may be evidenced (a) by any instrument or any

                                       39
<PAGE>   46

number of instruments of similar tenor executed by Securityholders in person or
by agent or proxy appointed in writing, or (b) by the record of the Holders of
Securities voting in favor thereof at any meeting of Securityholders duly called
and held in accordance with the provisions of Article Nine, or (c) by a
combination of such instrument or instruments and any such record of such a
meeting of Securityholders.

         In determining whether the Holders of a specified percentage in
aggregate principal amount of the Securities have taken any action (including
the making of any demand or request, the waiving of any notice, consent or
waiver or the taking of any other action), the principal amount of any Original
Issue Discount Security that may be counted in making such determination and
that shall be deemed to be outstanding for such purposes shall be equal to the
amount of the principal thereof that could be declared to be due and payable
upon an Event of Default pursuant to the terms of such Original Issue Discount
Security at the time the taking of such action is evidence to the Trustee.

                  SECTION 8.02. Proof of Execution by Securityholders. Subject
to the provisions of Sections 7.01, 7.02 and 9.05, proof of the execution of any
instrument by a Securityholder or its agent or proxy shall be sufficient if made
in the following manner:

                  (a)    In the case of Holders of Unregistered Securities, the
fact and date of the execution by any such person of any instrument may be
proved by the certificate of any notary public or other officer of any
jurisdiction authorized to take acknowledgments of deeds or administer oaths
that the person executing such instruments acknowledged to him the execution
thereof or by an affidavit of a witness to such execution sworn to before any
such notary or other such officer. Where such execution is by or on behalf of
any legal entity other than an individual, such certificate or affidavit shall
also constitute sufficient proof of the authority of the person executing the
same. The fact of the holding by any Holder of a Security of any series, and the
identifying number of such Security and the date of his holding the same, may be
proved by the production of such Security or by a certificate executed by any
trust company, bank, banker or recognized securities dealer wherever situated
satisfactory to the Trustee, if such certificate shall be deemed by the Trustee
to be satisfactory. Each such certificate shall be dated and shall state that on
the date thereof a Security of such series bearing a specified identifying
number was deposited with or exhibited to such trust company, bank, banker or
recognized securities dealer by the person named in such certificate. Any such
certificate may be issued in respect of one or more Securities of one or more
series specified therein. The holding by the person named in any such
certificate of any Securities of any series specified therein shall be presumed
to continue for a period of one year from the date of such certificate unless at
the time of any determination of such holding (1) another certificate bearing a
later date issued in respect of the same Securities shall be produced, or (2)
the Security of such series specified in such certificate shall be produced by
some other person, or (3) the Security of such series specified in such
certificates shall have ceased to be outstanding. Subject to Sections 7.01, 7.02
and 9.05, the fact and date of the execution of any such instrument and the
amount and numbers of Securities of any series held by the person so executing
such instrument and the amount and numbers of any Security or Securities for
such series may also be proven in accordance with such reasonable rules and
regulations as may be prescribed by the Trustee for such series or in any other
manner that the Trustee for such series may deem sufficient.

                  (b)    In the case of Registered Securities, the ownership of
such Securities shall be proved by the Security Register or by a certificate of
the Security Registrar.

                                       40
<PAGE>   47

                  SECTION 8.03. Who Are Deemed Absolute Owners. The Corporation,
the Trustee, any paying agent, any transfer agent and any Security Registrar may
treat the Holder of any Unregistered Security and the Holder of any Coupon as
the absolute owner of such Unregistered Security or Coupon (whether or not such
Unregistered Security or Coupon shall be overdue) for the purpose of receiving
payment thereof or on account thereof and for all other purposes and neither the
Corporation, the Trustee, any paying agent, any transfer agent nor any Security
Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. The Corporation, the
Trustee, any paying agent, any transfer agent and any Security Registrar may,
subject to Section 2.04 hereof, treat the person in whose name a Registered
Security shall be registered upon the Security Register as the absolute owner of
such Registered Security (whether or not such Registered Security shall be
overdue) for the purpose of receiving payment thereof or on account thereof and
for all other purposes and neither the Corporation, the Trustee, any paying
agent, any transfer agent nor any Security Registrar shall be affected by any
notice to the contrary.

                  SECTION 8.04. Corporation-owned Securities Disregarded. In
determining whether the Holders of the required aggregate principal amount of
Securities have concurred in any direction, consent or waiver under this
Indenture, Securities that are owned by the Corporation or by any person
directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect
common control with the Corporation, shall be disregarded and deemed not to be
outstanding for the purpose of any such determination, except that for the
purpose of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any
such direction, consent or waiver only Securities that the Trustee knows are so
owned shall be disregarded. Securities so owned that have been pledged in good
faith may be regarded as outstanding for the purposes of this Section if the
pledgee shall establish to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee's right
to vote such Securities and that the pledgee is not a person directly or
indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common
control with the Corporation. In the case of a dispute as to such right, any
decision by the Trustee taken upon the advice of counsel shall be full
protection to the Trustee.

                  SECTION 8.05. Revocation of Consents; Future Securityholders
Bound. At any time prior to the taking of any action by the Holders of the
percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Securities specified in this
Indenture in connection with such action, any Holder of a Security the
identifying number of which is shown by the evidence to be included in the
Securities the Holders of which have consented to such action may, by filing
written notice with the Trustee at its office and upon proof of holding as
provided in Section 8.02, revoke such action so far as concerns such Security.
Except as aforesaid any such action taken by the Holder of any Security shall be
conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders and owners
of such Security and of any Security issued in exchange or substitution therefor
irrespective of whether or not any notation in regard thereto is made upon such
Security. Any action taken by the Holders of the percentage in aggregate
principal amount of the Securities specified in this Indenture in connection
with such action shall be conclusively binding upon the Corporation, the Trustee
and the Holders of all the Securities of each series intended to be affected
thereby.

                  SECTION 8.06. Securities in a Foreign Currency. Unless
otherwise specified in an Officers' Certificate delivered pursuant to Section
2.01 of this Indenture or in an indenture supplemental hereto with respect to a
particular series of Securities, on any day when for purposes of this Indenture
any action may be taken by the Holders of a specified percentage in aggregate
principal amount of two or more series of outstanding Securities and, at such
time, there are outstanding Securities of at least one such series that are
denominated in a coin or currency other than that of at least one other such
series, then the principal amount of Securities of each such series (other than
any such series denominated in

                                       41
<PAGE>   48

U.S. Dollars) that shall be deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of taking
such action shall be that amount of U.S. Dollars that could be obtained for such
amount at the Market Exchange Rate. For purposes of this Section 8.06, "Market
Exchange Rate" shall mean (i) for any conversion involving a Currency unit on
the one hand and dollars or any foreign currency on the other, the exchange rate
between the relevant Currency unit and dollars or such foreign currency, (ii)
for any conversion of dollars into any foreign currency, the noon U.S. Dollar
buying rate for such foreign currency for cable transfers quoted in The City of
New York on such day as certified for customs purposes by the Federal Reserve
Bank of New York and (iii) for any conversion of one foreign currency into
dollars or another foreign currency, the spot rate at noon local time in the
relevant market at which, in accordance with normal banking procedures, the
dollars or foreign currency into which conversion is being made could be
purchased with the foreign currency from which conversion is being made from
major banks located in either New York City, London or any other principal
market for dollars or such purchased foreign currency. In the event of the
unavailability of any of the exchange rates provided for in the foregoing
clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) the Trustee shall use, in its sole discretion and
without liability on its part, such quotation of the Federal Reserve Bank of New
York as of the most recent available date, or quotations from one or more major
banks in New York City, London or other principal market for such Currency or
Currency unit in question, or such other quotations as the Trustee shall deem
appropriate. Unless otherwise specified by the Trustee, if there is more than
one market for dealing in any Currency or Currency unit by reason of foreign
exchange regulations or otherwise, the market to be used in respect of such
Currency or Currency unit shall be that upon which a nonresident issuer of
securities designated in such Currency or Currency unit would purchase such
Currency or Currency unit in order to make payments in respect of such
securities. The provisions of this paragraph shall apply in determining the
equivalent number of votes that each Securityholder or proxy shall be entitled
to pursuant to Section 9.05, in respect of Securities of a series denominated in
a currency other than U.S. Dollars.

         All decisions and determinations of the Corporation regarding the
Market Exchange Rate shall be in its sole discretion and shall, in the absence
of manifest error, be conclusive for all purposes and irrevocably binding upon
the Corporation and all Holders.

                                   ARTICLE IX.

                           SECURITYHOLDERS' MEETINGS.

                  SECTION 9.01. Purposes of Meetings. A meeting of
Securityholders of any or all series may be called at any time and from time to
time pursuant to the provisions of this Article for any of the following
purposes:

                           (1)  to give any notice to the Corporation or to the
Trustee, or to give any directions to the Trustee, or to waive any default
hereunder and its consequences, or to take any other action authorized to be
taken by Securityholders pursuant to any of the provisions of Article Six;

                           (2)  to remove the Trustee and appoint a successor
trustee pursuant to the provisions of Article Seven;

                           (3)  to consent to the execution of an indenture or
indentures supplemental hereto pursuant to the provisions of Section 10.02; or

                                       42

<PAGE>   49

                           (4)  to take any other action authorized to be taken
by or on behalf of the Holders of any specified aggregate principal amount of
the Securities of any or all series, as the case may be, under any other
provision of this Indenture or under applicable law.

                  SECTION 9.02. Call of Meetings by Trustee. The Trustee may at
any time call a meeting of Holders of Securities of any or all series to take
any action specified in Section 9.01, to be held at such time and at such place
in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, or in London, as the Trustee
shall determine. Notice of every meeting of the Holders of Securities of any or
all series, setting forth the time and place of such meeting and in general
terms the action proposed to be taken at such meeting, shall be given (i) if any
Unregistered Securities of a series that may be affected by the action proposed
to be taken at such meeting are then outstanding, to all Holders thereof, by
publication at least twice in an Authorized Newspaper in the Borough of
Manhattan, The City of New York and at least twice in an Authorized Newspaper in
London (and, if required by Section 4.04, at least once in an Authorized
Newspaper in Luxembourg) prior to the date fixed for the meeting, the first
publication, in each case, to be not less than twenty nor more than one hundred
eighty days prior to the date fixed for the meeting and the last publication to
be not more than five days prior to the date fixed for the meeting, (ii) if any
Unregistered Securities of a series that may be affected by the action proposed
to be taken at such meeting are then outstanding, to all Holders thereof who
have filed their names and addresses with the Trustee as described in Section
313(c) of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, by mailing such notice to such
Holders at such addresses, not less than twenty nor more than one hundred eighty
days prior to the date fixed for the meeting and (iii) to all Holders of then
outstanding Registered Securities of each series that may be affected by the
action proposed to be taken at such meeting, by mailing such notice to such
Holders at their addresses as they shall appear on the Security Register, not
less than twenty nor more than one hundred eighty days prior to the date fixed
for the meeting. Failure of any Holder or Holders to receive such notice, or any
defect therein, shall in no case affect the validity of any action taken at such
meeting. Any meeting of Holders of Securities of all or any series shall be
valid without notice if the Holders of all such Securities outstanding, the
Corporation and the Trustee are present in person or by proxy or shall have
waived notice thereof before or after the meeting. The Trustee may fix, in
advance, a date as the record date for determining the Holders entitled to
notice of or to vote at any such meeting at not less than twenty or more than
one hundred eighty days prior to the date fixed for such meeting.

                  SECTION 9.03. Call of Meetings by Corporation or
Securityholders. In case at any time the Corporation, pursuant to a Board
Resolution, or the Holders of at least ten percent in aggregate principal amount
of the Securities of any or all series, as the case may be, then outstanding,
shall have requested the Trustee to call a meeting of Securityholders of any or
all series to take any action authorized in Section 9.01, by written request
setting forth in reasonable detail the action proposed to be taken at the
meeting, and the Trustee shall not have mailed or published, as provided in
Section 9.02, the notice of such meeting within thirty days after receipt of
such request, then the Corporation or the Holders of such Securities in the
amount above specified may determine the time and the place in said Borough of
Manhattan, The City of New York or London for such meeting and may call such
meeting to take any action authorized in Section 9.01, by mailing notice thereof
as provided in Section 9.02.

                                       43
<PAGE>   50

                  SECTION 9.04. Qualification for Voting. To be entitled to vote
at any meeting of Securityholders a person shall be a Holder of one or more
Securities of a series with respect to which a meeting is being held or a person
appointed by instrument in writing as proxy by such a Holder. The only persons
who shall be entitled to be present or to speak at any meeting of the
Securityholders shall be the persons entitled to vote at such meeting and their
counsel and any representatives of the Trustee and its counsel and any
representatives of the Corporation and its counsel.

                  SECTION 9.05. Regulations. Notwithstanding any other
provisions of this Indenture, the Trustee may make such reasonable regulations
as it may deem advisable for any meeting of Securityholders, in regard to proof
of the holding of Securities and of the appointment of proxies, and in regard to
the appointment and duties of inspectors of votes, the submission and
examination of proxies, certificates and other evidence of the right to vote,
and such other matters concerning the conduct of the meeting as it shall think
fit.

         The Trustee shall, by an instrument in writing, appoint a temporary
chairman of the meeting, unless the meeting shall have been called by the
Corporation or by Securityholders as provided in Section 9.03, in which case the
Corporation or the Securityholder 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 Holders of a
majority in principal amount of the Securities represented at the meeting and
entitled to vote.

         Subject to the provisions of Sections 8.01 and 8.04, at any meeting
each Securityholder or proxy shall be entitled to one vote for each U.S.$1,000
principal amount of Securities held or represented by him, her or it; 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
not to be outstanding. The chairman of the meeting shall have no right to vote
except as a Securityholder or proxy. Any meeting of Securityholders duly called
pursuant to the provisions of Section 9.02 or 9.03 may be adjourned from time to
time, and the meeting may be held as so adjourned without further notice.

                  SECTION 9.06. Voting. The vote upon any resolution submitted
to any meeting of Securityholders shall be by written ballot on which shall be
subscribed the signatures of the Securityholders or proxies and on which shall
be inscribed the identifying number or numbers or to which shall be attached a
list of identifying numbers of the Securities 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 reports in
duplicate of all votes cast at the meeting. A record in duplicate of the
proceedings of each meeting of Securityholders 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
affidavit 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 mailed as
provided in Section 9.02 or Section 9.03. The record shall be signed and
verified by the permanent chairman and secretary of the meeting and one of the
duplicates shall be delivered to the Corporation and the other 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.

                            SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES.

              SECTION 10.01. Supplemental Indentures Without Consent of
Securityholders. The Corporation, when authorized by Board Resolution, and the
Trustee may from time to time and at any time enter into an indenture or
indentures supplemental hereto (which shall conform to the provisions of the
Trust Indenture Act of 1939) for one or more of the following purposes:

              (a) to evidence the succession of another entity to the
Corporation, or successive successions, and the assumption by any successor
entity of the covenants, agreements and obligations of the Corporation pursuant
to Article Eleven hereof;

              (b) to add to the covenants of the Corporation such further
covenants, restrictions, conditions or provisions as its Board of Directors and
the Trustee shall consider to be for the protection of the Holders of Securities
of any or all series, or the Coupons appertaining to such Securities, and to
make the occurrence, or the occurrence and continuance, of a default in any of
such additional covenants, restrictions, conditions or provisions a default or
an Event of Default with respect to any or all series permitting the enforcement
of all or any of the several remedies provided in this Indenture as herein set
forth, with such period of grace, if any, and subject to such conditions as such
supplemental indenture may provide;

              (c) to add or change any of the provisions of this Indenture to
such extent as shall be necessary to permit or facilitate the issuance of
Securities of any series in bearer form, registrable or not registrable as to
principal, and with or without interest Coupons, and to provide for
exchangeability of such Securities with Securities issued hereunder in fully
registered form and to make all appropriate changes for such purpose, and to add
or change any of the provisions of this Indenture to such extent as shall be
necessary to permit or facilitate the issuance of uncertificated Securities of
any series;

              (d) to cure any ambiguity or to correct or supplement any
provision contained herein or in any supplemental indenture that may be
defective or inconsistent with any other provision contained herein or in any
supplemental indenture; or to make such other provisions in regard to matters or
questions arising under this Indenture as shall not adversely affect the
interests of the Holders of any series of Securities or any Coupons appertaining
to such Securities;

              (e) to convey, transfer, assign, mortgage or pledge any property
to or with the Trustee;

              (f) to evidence and provide for the acceptance and appointment
hereunder by a successor trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more
series and to add or change 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 Section 7.11;

              (g) to establish the form or terms of Securities of any series as
permitted by Sections 2.01 and 2.03; and

                                       45
<PAGE>   52

              (h) to change or eliminate any provision of this Indenture,
provided that any such change or elimination (i) shall become effective only
when there is no Security outstanding of any series created prior to the
execution of such supplemental indenture that is entitled to the benefit of such
provision or (ii) shall not apply to any Security outstanding.

       The Trustee is hereby authorized to join with the Corporation in the
execution of any such supplemental indenture, to make any further appropriate
agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained and to accept the
conveyance, transfer, assignment, mortgage or pledge of any property thereunder,
but the Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into any such supplemental
indenture that adversely affects the Trustee's own rights, duties or immunities
under this Indenture or otherwise.

       Any supplemental indenture authorized by the provisions of this Section
may be executed by the Corporation and the Trustee without the consent of the
Holders of any of the Securities at the time outstanding, notwithstanding any of
the provisions of Section 10.02.

              SECTION 10.02. Supplemental Indentures with Consent of
Securityholders. With the consent (evidenced as provided in Section 8.01) of the
Holders of not less than a majority in the aggregate principal amount of the
Securities of all series at the time outstanding affected by such supplemental
indenture (voting as one class), the Corporation, when authorized by a Board
Resolution, and the Trustee may from time to time and at any time 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 any supplemental indentures or modifying in any manner the
rights of the Holders of the Securities of each such series or any Coupons
appertaining to such Securities; provided, however, that no such supplemental
indenture shall (i) change the fixed maturity of any Securities, or reduce the
principal amount thereof (or premium, if any), or reduce the rate or extend the
time of payment of any interest or Additional Amounts thereon or reduce the
amount due and payable upon acceleration of the maturity thereof or the amount
provable in bankruptcy, or make the principal of (premium, if any) or interest,
if any, or Additional Amounts, if any, on any Security payable in any coin or
currency other than that provided in such Security, (ii) 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
therefor) or (iii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Securities, the consent of
the Holders of which is required for any such supplemental indenture, or the
percentage required for the consent of the Holders pursuant to Section 6.01 to
waive defaults, without the consent of the Holder of each Security so affected.

       Upon the request of the Corporation, accompanied by a copy of a Board
Resolution certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the
Corporation authorizing the execution of any such supplemental indenture, and
upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence of the consent of Securityholders
as aforesaid, the Trustee shall join with the Corporation in the execution of
such supplemental indenture unless such supplemental indenture affects the
Trustee's own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in
which case the Trustee may in its discretion, but shall not be obligated to,
enter into such supplemental indenture.

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

Trustee of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this
Section, the Trustee shall give notice of such supplemental indenture (i) to the
Holders of then outstanding Registered Securities of each series affected
thereby, by mailing a notice thereof by first-class mail to such Holders at
their addresses as they shall appear on the Security Register, (ii) if any
Unregistered Securities of a series affected thereby are then outstanding, to
the Holders thereof who have filed their names and addresses with the Trustee as
described in Section 313(c) of the Trust Indenture Act, by mailing a notice
thereof by first-class mail to such Holders at such addresses as were so
furnished to the Trustee and (iii) if any Unregistered Securities of a series
affected thereby are then outstanding, to all Holders thereof, by Publication of
a notice thereof at least once in an Authorized Newspaper in the Borough of
Manhattan, The City of New York and at least once in an Authorized Newspaper in
London (and, if required by Section 4.04, at least once in an Authorized
Newspaper in Luxembourg), and in each case such notice shall set forth in
general terms the substance of such supplemental indenture. Any failure of the
Corporation to mail or publish such notice, or any defect therein, shall not,
however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental
indenture.

              SECTION 10.03. Compliance with Trust Indenture Act; Effect of
Supplemental Indentures. Any supplemental indenture executed pursuant to the
provisions of this Article Ten shall comply with the Trust Indenture Act of
1939. Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the
provisions of this Article Ten, this Indenture shall be and be deemed to be
modified and amended in accordance therewith and the respective rights,
limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities under this Indenture

supplemental indenture shall be and be deemed to be part of the terms and
conditions of this Indenture for any and all purposes.

       The Trustee, subject to the provisions of Sections 7.01 and 7.02, shall
be provided an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel as conclusive
evidence that any such supplemental indenture complies with the provisions of
this Article Ten.

              SECTION 10.04. Notation on Securities. Securities of any series
authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental indenture
pursuant to the provisions of this Article Ten may bear a notation in form
approved by the Trustee as to any matter provided for in such supplemental
indenture. New Securities of any series so modified as to conform, in the
opinion of the Trustee and the Board of Directors of the Corporation, to any
modification of this Indenture contained in any such supplemental indenture may
be prepared by the Corporation, authenticated by the Trustee and delivered,
without charge to the Securityholders, in exchange for the Securities of such
series then outstanding.

                                   ARTICLE XI.

                   CONSOLIDATION, MERGER, SALE OR CONVEYANCE.

              SECTION 11.01. Corporation May Consolidate, Etc., on Certain
Terms. The Corporation covenants that it will not merge or consolidate with any
other entity or sell or convey all or substantially all of its assets to any
person or entity, unless (i) either the Corporation shall be the continuing
corporation, or the successor entity (if other than the Corporation) shall be an
entity organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America or
any State thereof and such successor entity

                                       47
<PAGE>   54

shall expressly assume, by a supplemental indenture in form satisfactory to the
Trustee and executed and delivered to the Trustee by such successor entity, the
due and punctual payment of the principal of (and premium, if any), interest, if
any, and Additional Amounts, if any, on all the Securities and any Coupons,
according to their tenor, and the due and punctual performance and observance of
all of the covenants and conditions of this Indenture to be performed or
satisfied by the Corporation, (ii) immediately after giving effect to such
merger or consolidation, or such sale or conveyance, no Event of Default, and no
event that, after notice or lapse of time or both, would become an Event of
Default, shall have occurred and be continuing and (iii) the Corporation shall
have delivered to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of
Counsel, each stating, that such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance and
such supplemental indenture, and any such assumption by the successor entity,
complies with the provisions of this Article Eleven.

              SECTION 11.02. Successor Corporation Substituted. In case of any
such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance and upon any such assumption by
the successor entity, such successor entity shall succeed to and be substituted
for the Corporation, with the same effect as if it had been named herein as the
party of the first part. Such successor entity thereupon may cause to be signed,
and may issue either in its own name or in the name of Visteon Corporation, any
or all of the Securities, and any Coupons appertaining thereto, issuable
hereunder which theretofore shall not have been signed by the Corporation and
delivered to the Trustee; and, upon the order of such successor entity, instead
of the Corporation, and subject to all the terms, conditions and limitations
prescribed in this Indenture, the Trustee shall authenticate and shall deliver
any Securities or Coupons which previously shall have been signed and delivered
by the officers of the Corporation to the Trustee for authentication, and any
Securities or Coupons that such successor entity thereafter shall cause to be
signed and delivered to the Trustee for that purpose. All of the Securities, and
any Coupons appertaining thereto, so issued shall in all respects have the same
legal rank and benefit under this Indenture as the Securities or Coupons
theretofore or thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this Indenture
as though all of such Securities, and any Coupons appertaining thereto, had been
issued at the date of the execution hereof.

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

              SECTION 11.03. Certificate to Trustee. On or before April 1, 2001,
and on or before April 1, in each year thereafter, the Corporation will deliver
to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate signed by the Corporation's principal
executive officer, principal financial officer or principal accounting officer,
as to such Officer's knowledge of the Corporation's compliance with all
conditions and covenants under this Indenture (such compliance to be determined
without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice provided under
this Indenture), as required by Section 314(a)(4) of the Trust Indenture Act of
1939.

              SECTION 12.01. Discharge of Indenture. If at any time (i) the
Corporation shall have delivered to the Trustee for cancellation all Securities
of any series theretofore authenticated (other than any Securities of such
series and Coupons pertaining thereto that shall have been destroyed, lost or
stolen and that shall have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 2.07) or
(ii) all Securities of any series and any Coupons appertaining to such
Securities not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation shall have
become due and payable, or are by their terms to become due and payable within
one year or are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements
satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption, and the
Corporation shall deposit or cause to be deposited with the Trustee as trust
funds the entire amount (other than moneys repaid by the Trustee or any paying
agent to the Corporation in accordance with Sections 12.04 or 12.05) sufficient
to pay at maturity or upon redemption all Securities of such series and all
Coupons appertaining to such Securities not theretofore delivered to the Trustee
for cancellation (other than any Securities of such series and Coupons
pertaining thereto that shall have been destroyed, lost or stolen and that shall
have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 2.07), including principal
(and premium, if any), interest, if any, and Additional Amounts, if any, due or
to become due to such date of maturity or date fixed for redemption, as the case
may be, and if in either case the Corporation shall also pay or cause to be paid
all other sums payable hereunder by the Corporation with respect to such series,
then this Indenture shall cease to be of further effect with respect to the
Securities of such series or any Coupons appertaining to such Securities, and
the Trustee, on demand of and at the cost and expense of the Corporation and
subject to Section 14.04, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging
satisfaction of and discharging this Indenture with respect to the Securities of
such series and all Coupons appertaining to such Securities. The Corporation
agrees to reimburse the Trustee for any costs or expenses thereafter reasonably
and properly incurred by the Trustee in connection with this Indenture or the
Securities of such series or any Coupons appertaining to such Securities.

              SECTION 12.02. Satisfaction, Discharge and Defeasance of
Securities of Any Series. If pursuant to Section 2.01 provision is made for the
defeasance of Securities of a series, then the provisions of this Section 12.02
shall be applicable except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section
2.01 for Securities of such series. At the Corporation's option, either (a) the
Corporation shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness
on all the outstanding Securities of any such series and the Trustee, at the
expense of the Corporation, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging
satisfaction and discharge of such indebtedness or (b) the Corporation shall
cease to be under any obligation to comply with any term, provision, condition
or covenant specified as contemplated by Section 2.01, when

              (1)  either

                   (A) with respect to all outstanding Securities of such
                   series,

                   (i) the Corporation has deposited or caused to be deposited
                   with the Trustee as trust funds in trust for the purpose an
                   amount (in such currency in which such outstanding Securities
                   and any related Coupons are then specified as payable at
                   stated maturity) sufficient to pay and discharge the entire
                   indebtedness of all outstanding Securities of such series for
                   principal (and premium, if any), interest, if any, and
                   Additional Amounts, if any, to the stated maturity or any
                   redemption date as contemplated by the last paragraph of this
                   section 12.02, as the case may be; or

<PAGE>   56

                   (ii) the Corporation has deposited or caused to be deposited
                   with the Trustee as obligations in trust for the purpose such
                   amount of direct noncallable obligations of, or noncallable
                   obligations the payment of principal of and interest on which
                   is fully guaranteed by , the United States of America, or to
                   the payment of which obligations or guarantees the full faith
                   and credit of the United States of America is pledged,
                   maturing as to principal and interest in such amounts and at
                   such times as will, together with the income to accrue
                   thereon (but without reinvesting any proceeds thereof), be
                   sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on
                   all outstanding Securities of such series for principal (and
                   premium, if any), interest, if any, and Additional Amounts ,
                   if any, to the stated maturity or any redemption date as
                   contemplated by the last paragraph of this Section 12.02, as
                   the case may be; or

                   (B) the Corporation has properly fulfilled such other terms
and conditions of the satisfaction and discharge as is specified, as
contemplated by Section 2.01, as applicable to the Securities of such series,
and

              (2)  the Corporation has paid or caused to be paid all other sums
payable with respect to the outstanding Securities of such series, and

              (3)  The Corporation has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of
Counsel stating that (i) the Corporation has received from, or there has been
published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (ii) since the date of
execution 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 and any
related Coupons will not recognize income, 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 amounts and in the same manner and at
the same times, as would have been the case if such deposit, defeasance and
discharge had not occurred, and

              (4)  the Corporation has delivered to the Trustee an Officers'
Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions
precedent herein provided for relating to the satisfaction and discharge of the
entire indebtedness on all outstanding Securities of any such series have been
complied with.

       Any deposits with the Trustee referred to in Section 12.02(l)(A) above
shall be irrevocable and shall be made under the terms of an escrow trust
agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee. If any outstanding
Securities of such series are to be redeemed prior to their stated maturity,
whether pursuant to an optional redemption provision or in accordance with any
mandatory sinking fund requirement or otherwise, the applicable escrow trust
agreement shall provide therefor and the Corporation shall make such
arrangements as are satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of
redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Corporation.

              SECTION 12.03. Deposited Moneys to Be Held in Trust by Trustee.
All moneys deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 12.01 or 12.02 shall
be held in trust and applied by it to the payment, either directly or through
any paying agent (including the Corporation acting as its own paying agent), to
the Holders of the particular Securities and of any Coupons appertaining to such
Securities for the payment or redemption of which such moneys have been
deposited with the Trustee, of all sums due

                                       50

and to become due thereon for principal (and premium, if any), interest, if any,
and Additional Amounts, if any.

              SECTION 12.04. Paying Agent to Repay Moneys Held. In connection
with the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to Securities
of any series, all moneys with respect to such Securities then held by any
paying agent under the provisions of this Indenture shall, upon demand of the
Corporation, be repaid to it or paid to the Trustee and thereupon such paying
agent shall be released from any further liability with respect to such moneys.

              SECTION 12.05. Return of Unclaimed Moneys. Any moneys deposited
with or paid to the Trustee or any paying agent for the payment of the principal
of (and premium, if any), interest, if any, and Additional Amounts, if any, on
any Security and not applied but remaining unclaimed for two years after the
date upon which such principal (and premium, if any), interest, if any, and
Additional Amounts, if any, shall have become due and payable, shall, unless
otherwise required by mandatory provisions of applicable escheat or abandoned or
unclaimed property law, be repaid to the Corporation by the Trustee or such
paying agent on demand, and the Holder of such Security or any Coupon
appertaining to such Security shall, unless otherwise required by mandatory
provisions of applicable escheat or abandoned or unclaimed property law,
thereafter look only to the Corporation for any payment that such Holder may be
entitled to collect and all liability of the Trustee or any paying agent with
respect to such moneys shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the
Trustee or such paying agent, before being required to make any such repayment
with respect to moneys deposited with it or any payment in respect of
Unregistered Securities of any series, may at the expense of the Corporation
cause to be published once, in an Authorized Newspaper in the Borough of
Manhattan, The City of New York and once in an Authorized Newspaper in London
(and, if required by Section 4.04, at least once in an Authorized Newspaper in
Luxembourg), notice that such moneys remain and that, after a date specified
therein, which shall not be less than thirty days from the date of such
publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid
to the Corporation.

                                  ARTICLE XIII.

Security, or because or on account of any indebtedness evidenced thereby, shall
be had against any past, present or future incorporator, stockholder, officer or
director, or other applicable principal, as such, of the Corporation or of any
successor entity, either directly or through the Corporation or any successor
entity, under any rule of law, statute or constitutional provision or by the
enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding or

consideration for the issue of the Securities and Coupons.

the sum due in respect of the principal of or interest on the Securities of any
series (the "Required Currency") into a currency in which a judgment will be
rendered (the "Judgment Currency"), the rate of exchange used shall be the rate
at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Trustee could purchase
in the City of New York the Required Currency with the Judgment Currency on the
date on which final unappealable judgment is entered, unless such day is not a
New York Banking Day, then, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the rate

Currency with the Judgment Currency on the New York Banking Day next preceding
the day on which final unappealable judgment is entered and (b) its obligations
under this Indenture to make payments in the Required Currency (i) shall not be
discharged or satisfied by any tender, or any recovery pursuant to any judgment
(whether or not entered in accordance with subsection (a)), in any currency
other than the Required Currency, except to the extent that such tender or
recovery shall result in the actual receipt, by the payee, of the full amount of
the Required Currency expressed to be payable in respect of such payments, (ii)
shall be enforceable as an alternative or additional cause of action for the
purpose of recovering in the Required Currency the amount, if any, by which such
actual receipt shall fall short of the full amount of the Required Currency so
expressed to be payable and (iii) shall not be affected by judgment being
obtained for any other sum due under this Indenture. For purposes of the
foregoing, "New York Banking Day" means any day except a Saturday, Sunday or a
legal holiday in The City of New York or a day on which banking institutions in
The City of New York are authorized or required by law or executive order to
