be given or taken by Holders of the Outstanding Securities of all series or one
or more series, as the case may be, may be embodied in and evidenced by one or
more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person
or by agents duly appointed in writing. If Securities of a series are issuable
as Bearer Securities, any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken
by Holders of Securities of such series may, alternatively, be embodied in and
evidenced by the record of Holders of Securities of such series voting in favor
thereof, either in person or by proxies duly appointed in writing, at any
meeting of Holders of Securities of such series duly called and held in
accordance with the provisions of Article Fifteen, or a combination of such
instruments and any such record. Except as herein otherwise expressly provided,
such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments or record
or both are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required,
to the Company. Such instrument or instruments and any such record (and the
action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to
as the "Act" of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments or so voting
at any such meeting. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing
appointing any such agent, or of the holding by any Person of a Security, shall
be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and conclusive in favor of the
Trustee and the Company and any agent of the Trustee or the Company, if made in
the manner provided in this Section. The record of any meeting of Holders of
Securities shall be proved in the manner provided in Section 1506.

      (b) The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing,
or the authority of the Person executing the same, may be proved in any manner
that the Trustee deems reasonably sufficient.

      (c) The ownership of Registered Securities shall be proved by the Security
Register.

      (d) The ownership of Bearer Securities may be proved by the production of

company, bank, banker or other depository, wherever situated, if such
certificate shall be deemed by the Trustee to be satisfactory, showing that at
the date therein mentioned such Person had on deposit with such depository, or
exhibited to it, the Bearer Securities therein described; or such facts may be
proved by the certificate or affidavit of the Person holding such Bearer
Securities, if such certificate or affidavit is deemed by the Trustee to be
satisfactory. The Trustee and the Company

                                       12
<PAGE>

may assume that such ownership of any Bearer Security continues until (1)
another certificate or affidavit bearing a later date issued in respect of the
same Bearer Security is produced, or (2) such Bearer Security is produced to the
Trustee by some other Person, or (3) such Bearer Security is surrendered in
exchange for a Registered Security, or (4) such Bearer Security is no longer
Outstanding. The ownership of Bearer Securities may also be proved in any other
manner that the Trustee deems sufficient.

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

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

other communication required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in
writing and delivered, telecopied or mailed by first-class mail, postage
prepaid, addressed as follows:

      if to the Company:

            PSEG Energy Holdings Inc.
            80 Park Plaza, T-22
            P.O. Box 1171

notice of any event to Holders of Registered Securities by the Company or the
Trustee, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein
expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to
each such Holder affected by such event, at his address as it appears in the
Security Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the
earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice. In any case where
notice to Holders of Registered Securities is given by mail, neither the failure
to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular
Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders
of Registered Securities or the sufficiency of any notice to Holders of Bearer
Securities given as provided herein. Any notice mailed to a Holder in the manner
herein prescribed shall be conclusively deemed to have been received by such
Holder, whether or not such Holder actually receives such notice.

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

      Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or otherwise specified with
respect to any Securities pursuant to Section 301, where this Indenture provides
for notice to Holders of Bearer Securities of any event, such notice shall be
sufficiently given if published in an Authorized Newspaper in The City of New
York and in such other city or cities as may be specified in such Securities on
a Business Day, such publication to be not later than the latest date, and not
earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice. Any
such notice shall be deemed to have been given on the date of such publication
or, if published more than once, on the date of the first such publication. If
by reason of the suspension of publication of any Authorized Newspaper or
Authorized Newspapers or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable
to publish any notice to Holders of Bearer Securities as provided above, then
such notification to Holders of Bearer Securities as shall be given with the
approval of the Trustee shall constitute sufficient notice to such Holders for
every purpose hereunder. Neither the failure to give notice by publication to
Holders of Bearer Securities as provided above, nor any defect in any notice so
published, shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other
Holders of Bearer

                                       14
<PAGE>

Securities or the sufficiency of any notice to Holders of Registered Securities
given as provided herein.

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

      If the Company mails a notice or communication to the Holders, it shall
mail a copy to the Trustee and each Registrar, Paying Agent or co-Registrar.

      Holders may communicate, pursuant to TIA Section 312(b), with other
Holders with respect to their rights under this Indenture or the Securities. The

                                SECURITIES FORMS

      SECTION 201. Forms of Securities. The Registered Securities, if any, of
each series and the Bearer Securities, if any, of each series and related
coupons shall be in substantially the forms as shall be established in one or
more indentures supplemental hereto or approved from time to time by or pursuant
to a Board Resolution in accordance with Section 301, shall have such
appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as are
required or permitted by this Indenture or any indenture supplemental hereto,
and may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification or
designation and such legends or endorsements placed thereon as the Company 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 stock
exchange on which the Securities may be listed, or to conform to usage.

      Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, Bearer
Securities shall have interest coupons attached.

      The definitive Securities and coupons shall be printed, lithographed or
engraved or produced by any combination of these methods on a steel engraved
border or steel engraved borders or may be produced in any other manner, all as
determined by the officers executing such Securities or coupons, as evidenced by

                                        as Trustee

                                       Authorized Signatory

      SECTION 203. Securities Issuable in Global Form. If Securities of or
within a series are issuable in global form, as specified as contemplated by
Section 301, then, notwithstanding clause (8) of Section 301 and the provisions
of Section 302, any such Security shall represent such of the Outstanding
Securities of such series as shall be specified therein and may provide that it
shall represent the aggregate amount of Outstanding Securities of such series
from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate amount of Outstanding
Securities of such series represented thereby may from time to time be increased
or decreased to reflect exchanges. Any endorsement of 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 Company Order to be delivered to the Trustee pursuant to Section 303
or 304. Subject to the provisions of Section 303 and, if applicable, Section
304, the Trustee shall deliver and redeliver any Security in permanent global
form in the manner and upon instructions given by the Person or Persons
specified therein or in the applicable Company Order. If a Company Order
pursuant to Section 303 or 304 has been, or simultaneously is, delivered, any
instructions by the Company with respect to endorsement, delivery or redelivery
of a Security in global form shall be in writing but need not comply with
Section 102 and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel.

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

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

      Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 309 and except as provided in
the preceding paragraph, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company
and the Trustee shall treat as the Holder of such principal amount of
Outstanding Securities represented by a permanent global Security (i) in the
case of a permanent global Security in registered form, the Holder of such
permanent global Security in registered form, or (ii) in the case of a permanent
global Security in bearer form, Euroclear or CEDEL.

            (5) the place or places, if any, other than or in addition to the
      Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, where the principal of (and
      premium, if any) and interest, if any, on Securities of the series shall
      be payable, any Registered Securities of the series may be surrendered for
      registration of transfer, Securities of the series may be surrendered for
      exchange, where Securities of any series that are convertible or
      exchangeable may be surrendered for conversion or exchange, as applicable,

            (11) whether the amount of payments of principal of (or premium, if
      any) or interest, if any, on the Securities of the series may be
      determined with reference to an index, formula or other method (which
      index, formula or method may be based, without limitation, on one or more
      currencies, currency units, composite currencies, commodities, equity

      respect to Securities of the series, whether or not such Events of Default
      or covenants are consistent with the Events of Default or covenants set
      forth herein;

                                       19
<PAGE>

            (14) whether Securities of the series are to be issuable as
      Registered Securities, Bearer Securities (with or without coupons) or
      both, any restrictions applicable to the offer, sale or delivery of Bearer
      Securities and the terms upon which Bearer Securities of the series may be

      permitted by applicable laws and regulations), whether any Securities of
      the series are to be issuable initially in temporary global form and
      whether any Securities of the series are to be issuable in permanent
      global form with or without coupons and, if so, whether beneficial owners
      of interests in any such permanent global Security may exchange such
      interests for Securities of such series in certificated form and of like
      tenor of any authorized form and denomination and the circumstances under
      which any such exchanges may occur, if other than in the manner provided
      in Section 305, and, if Registered Securities of the series are to be

      series;

            (15) the date as of which any Bearer Securities of the series and
      any temporary global Security representing Outstanding Securities of the
      series shall be dated if other than the date of original issuance of the
      first Security of the series to be issued;

            (16) the Person to whom any interest on any Registered Security of
      the series shall be payable, if other than the Person in whose name such

      close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest, the manner
      in which, or the Person to whom, any interest on any Bearer Security of
      the series shall be payable, if otherwise than upon presentation and
      surrender of the coupons appertaining thereto as they severally mature,
      and the extent to which, or the manner in which, any interest payable on a
      temporary global Security on an Interest Payment Date will be paid if
      other than in the manner provided in Section 304;

            (17) the applicability, if any, of Sections 1402 and/or 1403 to the
      Securities of the series and any provisions in modification of, in
      addition to or in lieu of any of the provisions of Article Fourteen;

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

            (19) whether, and under what circumstances, the Company will pay
      Additional Amounts as contemplated by Section 1004 on the Securities of
      the series to any Holder who is not a United States person (including any
      modification to the definition of such term) in respect of any tax,
      assessment or governmental charge and, if so, whether the Company will
      have the option to redeem such Securities rather than pay such Additional
      Amounts (and the terms of any such option);

                                       20
<PAGE>

      terms and conditions upon which such Securities will be so convertible or
      exchangeable; and

            (21) any other terms of the series (which terms shall not be
      inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture or the requirements of
      the Trust Indenture Act).

      All Securities of any one series and the coupons appertaining to any
Bearer Securities of such series shall be substantially identical except, in the
case of Registered Securities, as to denomination and except as may otherwise be
provided in or pursuant to such Board Resolution (subject to Section 303) and
set forth in such Officers' Certificate or in any such indenture supplemental
hereto. All Securities of any one series need not be issued at the same time
and, unless otherwise provided, a series may be reopened, without the consent of
the Holders, for issuances of additional Securities of such series.

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

      SECTION 302. Denominations. The Securities of each series shall be
issuable in such denominations as shall be specified as contemplated by Section
301. With respect to Securities of any series denominated in Dollars, in the
absence of any such provisions with respect to the Securities of any series, the
Registered Securities of such series, other than Registered Securities issued in
global form (which may be of any denomination) shall be issuable in
denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof, and the Bearer
Securities of such series, other than Bearer Securities issued in global form
(which may be of any denomination), shall be issuable in a denomination of
$5,000.

      SECTION 303. Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating. The
Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto shall be executed on behalf of
the Company by its Chairman, its President, one of its Vice Presidents or by its
Treasurer, under its corporate seal reproduced thereon, and attested by its
Secretary or one of its Assistant Secretaries. The signature of any of these
officers on the Securities and coupons may be manual or facsimile signatures of
the present or any future such authorized officer and may be imprinted or
otherwise reproduced on the Securities.

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

      At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this
Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities of any series, together with any
coupon appertaining thereto,

                                       21
<PAGE>

executed by the Company, to the Trustee for authentication, together with a
Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such Securities, and the
Trustee in accordance with the Company Order shall authenticate and deliver such
Securities; provided, however, that, in connection with its original issuance,
no Bearer Security shall be mailed or otherwise delivered to any location in the
United States; and provided further that, unless otherwise specified with
respect to any series of Securities pursuant to Section 301, a Bearer Security
may be delivered in connection with its original issuance only if the Person
entitled to receive such Bearer Security shall have furnished a certificate in
the form set forth in Exhibit A-1 to this Indenture or such other certificate as
may be specified with respect to any series of Securities pursuant to Section
301, dated no earlier than 15 days prior to the earlier of the date on which
such Bearer Security is delivered and the date on which any temporary Security
first becomes exchangeable for such Bearer Security in accordance with the terms
of such temporary Security and this Indenture. If any Security shall be
represented by a permanent global Bearer Security, then, for purposes of this
Section and Section 304, the notation of a beneficial owner's interest therein
upon original issuance of such Security or upon exchange of a portion of a
temporary global Security shall be deemed to be delivery in connection with its
original issuance of such beneficial owner's interest in such permanent global
Security. Except as permitted by Section 306, the Trustee shall not authenticate
and deliver any Bearer Security unless all appurtenant coupons for interest then
matured have been detached and canceled. If all the Securities of any series are
not to be issued at one time and if the Board Resolution or supplemental
indenture establishing such series shall so permit, such Company Order may set
forth procedures acceptable to the Trustee for the issuance of such Securities
and determining the terms of particular Securities of such series, such as
interest rate, maturity date, date of issuance and date from which interest
shall accrue. 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 TIA Section 315(a) through
315(d)) shall be fully protected in relying upon,

      (i) an Opinion of Counsel stating,

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

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

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

                                       22
<PAGE>

      shall conclude do not materially affect the rights of Holders of such
      Securities and any coupons; and

      (ii) an Officers' Certificate stating, to the best of the knowledge of the
   signers of such certificate, that no Event of Default with respect to any of
   the Securities shall have occurred and be continuing.

      Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 301 and of this Section 303, if
all the Securities of any series are not to be issued at one time, it shall not
be necessary to deliver an Officers' Certificate otherwise required pursuant to
Section 301 or the Company Order, Opinion of Counsel or Officers' Certificate
otherwise required pursuant to the preceding paragraph at the time of issuance
of each Security of such series, but such order, opinion and certificates, with
appropriate modifications to cover such future issuances, shall be delivered at
or before the time of issuance of the first Security of such series.

      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,
obligations or immunities under the Securities and this Indenture or otherwise
in a manner which is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee.

      Each Registered Security shall be dated the date of its authentication and
each Bearer Security shall be dated as of the date specified as contemplated by
Section 301.

      No Security or coupon shall be entitled to any benefit under this
Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such
Security or Security to which such coupon appertains a certificate of
authentication substantially in the form provided for herein duly executed by
the Trustee or an Authenticating Agent by manual signature of an authorized
signatory, and such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence,
and the only evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated and
delivered hereunder and is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Security shall have been authenticated and
delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the Company, and the Company
shall deliver such Security to the Trustee for cancellation as provided in
Section 310 together with a written statement (which need not comply with
Section 102 and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel) stating that
such Security has never been issued and sold by the Company, for all purposes of
this Indenture such Security shall be deemed never to have been authenticated
and delivered hereunder and shall never be entitled to the benefits of this
Indenture.

      SECTION 304. Temporary Securities. (a) Pending the preparation of
definitive Securities of any series, the Company may execute, and upon Company
Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Securities which are
printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any
authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Securities
in lieu of which they are issued, in registered form, or, if authorized, in
bearer form with one or more coupons or without coupons, and with such
appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the
officers executing such Securities

                                       23
<PAGE>

may determine, as conclusively evidenced by their execution of such Securities.
In the case of Securities of any series, such temporary Securities may be in
global form.

      Except in the case of temporary Securities in global form (which shall be
exchanged in accordance with Section 304(b) or as otherwise provided in or
pursuant to a Board Resolution), if temporary Securities of any series are
issued, the Company will cause definitive Securities of that series to be
prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive
Securities of such series, the temporary Securities of such series shall be
exchangeable for definitive Securities of such series upon surrender of the
temporary Securities of such series at the office or agency of the Company in a
Place of Payment for that series, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender
for cancellation of any one or more temporary Securities of any series
(accompanied by any non-matured coupons appertaining thereto), the Company shall
execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a
like principal amount of definitive Securities of the same series of authorized
denominations; provided, however, that no definitive Bearer Security shall be
delivered in exchange for a temporary Registered Security; and provided further
that a definitive Bearer Security shall be delivered in exchange for a temporary
Bearer Security only in compliance with the conditions set forth in Section 303.
Until so exchanged, the temporary Securities of any series shall in all respects
be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities
of such series.

      (b) Unless otherwise provided in or pursuant to a Board Resolution, this
Section 304(b) shall govern the exchange of temporary Securities issued in
global form. If temporary Securities of any series are issued in global form,
any such temporary global Security shall, unless otherwise provided therein, be
delivered to the London office of a depository or common depository (the "Common
Depository"), for the benefit of Euroclear and CEDEL, for credit to the
respective accounts of the beneficial owners of such Securities (or to such
other accounts as they may direct).

      Without unnecessary delay but in any event not later than the date
specified in, or determined pursuant to the terms of, any such temporary global
Security (the "Exchange Date"), the Company shall deliver to the Trustee
definitive Securities, in aggregate principal amount equal to the principal
amount of such temporary global Security, executed by the Company. On or after
the Exchange Date, such temporary global Security shall be surrendered by the
Common Depository to the Trustee, as the Company's agent for such purpose, to be
exchanged, in whole or from time to time in part, for definitive Securities
without charge, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for
each portion of such temporary global Security, an equal aggregate principal
amount of definitive Securities of the same series of authorized denominations
and of like tenor as the portion of such temporary global Security to be
exchanged. The definitive Securities to be delivered in exchange for any such
temporary global Security shall be in bearer form, registered form, permanent
global bearer form or permanent global registered form, or any combination
thereof, as specified as contemplated by Section 301, and, if any combination
thereof is so specified, as requested by the beneficial owner thereof; provided,
however, that, unless otherwise specified in such temporary global Security,
upon such presentation by the Common Depository, such temporary global Security
is accompanied by a

                                       24
<PAGE>

certificate dated the Exchange Date or a subsequent date and signed by Euroclear
as to the portion of such temporary global Security held for its account then to
be exchanged and a certificate dated the Exchange Date or a subsequent date and
signed by CEDEL as to the portion of such temporary global Security held for its
account then to be exchanged, each in the form set forth in Exhibit A-2 to this
Indenture or in such other form as may be established pursuant to Section 301;
and provided further that definitive Bearer Securities shall be delivered in
exchange for a portion of a temporary global Security only in compliance with
the requirements of Section 303.

      Unless otherwise specified in such temporary global Security, the interest
of a beneficial owner of Securities of a series in a temporary global Security
shall be exchanged for definitive Securities of the same series and of like
tenor following the Exchange Date when the account holder instructs Euroclear or
CEDEL, as the case may be, to request such exchange on his behalf and delivers
to Euroclear or CEDEL, as the case may be, a certificate in the form set forth
in Exhibit A-1 to this Indenture (or in such other form as may be established
pursuant to Section 301), dated no earlier than 15 days prior to the Exchange
Date, copies of which certificate shall be available from the offices of
Euroclear and CEDEL, the Trustee, any Authenticating Agent appointed for such
series of Securities and each Paying Agent. Unless otherwise specified in such
temporary global Security, any such exchange shall be made free of charge to the
beneficial owners of such temporary global Security, except that a Person
receiving definitive Securities must bear the cost of insurance, postage,
transportation and the like unless such Person takes delivery of such definitive
Securities in person at the offices of Euroclear or CEDEL. Definitive Securities
in bearer form to be delivered in exchange for any portion of a temporary global
Security shall be delivered only outside the United States.

      Until exchanged in full as hereinabove provided, the temporary Securities
of any series shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this
Indenture as definitive Securities of the same series and of like tenor
authenticated and delivered hereunder, except that, unless otherwise specified
as contemplated by Section 301, interest payable on a temporary global Security
on an Interest Payment Date for Securities of such series occurring prior to the
applicable Exchange Date shall be payable to Euroclear and CEDEL on such
Interest Payment Date upon delivery by Euroclear and CEDEL to the Trustee of a
certificate or certificates in the form set forth in Exhibit A-2 to this
Indenture (or in such other form as may be established pursuant to Section 301),
for credit without further interest on or after such Interest Payment Date to
the respective accounts of Persons who are the beneficial owners of such
temporary global Security on such Interest Payment Date and who have each
delivered to Euroclear or CEDEL, as the case may be, a certificate dated no
earlier than 15 days prior to the Interest Payment Date occurring prior to such
Exchange Date in the form set forth as Exhibit A-1 to this Indenture (or in such
other forms as may be established pursuant to Section 301). Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein contained, the certifications made pursuant to
this paragraph shall satisfy the certification requirements of the preceding two
paragraphs of this Section 304(b) and of the third paragraph of Section 303 of
this Indenture and the interests of the Persons who are the beneficial owners of
the temporary global Security with respect to which such certification was made
will be exchanged for definitive Securities of the same series and of

                                       25
<PAGE>

like tenor on the Exchange Date or the date of certification if such date occurs
after the Exchange Date, without further act or deed by such beneficial owners.
Except as otherwise provided in this paragraph, no payments of principal (or
premium, if any) or interest, if any, owing with respect to a beneficial
interest in a temporary global Security will be made unless and until such
interest in such temporary global Security shall have been exchanged for an
interest in a definitive Security. Any interest so received by Euroclear and
CEDEL and not paid as herein provided shall be returned to the Trustee prior to
the expiration of two years after such Interest Payment Date in order to be
repaid to the Company.

      SECTION 305. Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange. The
Company shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee or
in any office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment a register for each
series of Securities (the registers maintained in such office or in any such
office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment being herein sometimes
referred to collectively as the "Security Register") in which, subject to such
reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the
registration of Registered Securities and of transfers of Registered Securities.
The Security Register shall be in written form or any other form capable of
being converted into written form within a reasonable time. The Trustee, at its
Corporate Trust Office, is hereby initially appointed "Security Registrar" for
the purpose of registering Registered Securities and transfers of Registered
Securities on such Security Register as herein provided. In the event that the
Trustee shall cease to be Security Registrar, it shall have the right to examine
the Security Register at all reasonable times.

      Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Registered Security of
any series at any office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment for that
series, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more
new Registered Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations
and of a like aggregate principal amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously
outstanding and containing identical terms and provisions.

      At the option of the Holder, Registered Securities of any series may be
exchanged for other Registered Securities of the same series, of any authorized
denomination or denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount,
containing identical terms and provisions, upon surrender of the Registered
Securities to be exchanged at any such office or agency. Whenever any Registered
Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Registered Securities which the
Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Unless otherwise specified
with respect to any series of Securities as contemplated by Section 301, Bearer
Securities may not be issued in exchange for Registered Securities.

      If (but only if) permitted by the applicable Board Resolution and (subject
to Section 303) set forth in the applicable Officers' Certificate, or in any
indenture supplemental hereto, delivered as contemplated by Section 301, at the
option of the Holder, Bearer Securities of any series may be exchanged for
Registered Securities of the same series of any authorized denominations and

                                       26
<PAGE>

of a like aggregate principal amount and tenor, upon surrender of the Bearer
Securities to be exchanged at any such office or agency, with all unmatured
coupons and all matured coupons in default thereto appertaining. If the Holder
of a Bearer Security is unable to produce any such unmatured coupon or coupons
or matured coupon or coupons in default, any such permitted exchange may be
effected if the Bearer Securities are accompanied by payment in funds acceptable
to the Company in an amount equal to the face amount of such missing coupon or
coupons, or the surrender of such missing coupon or coupons may be waived by the
Company and the Trustee if there is furnished to them such security or indemnity
as they may require to save each of them and any Paying Agent harmless. If
thereafter the Holder of such Security shall surrender to any Paying Agent any
such missing coupon in respect of which such a payment shall have been made,
such Holder shall be entitled to receive the amount of such payment; provided,
however, that, except as otherwise provided in Section 1002, interest
represented by coupons shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of
those coupons at an office or agency located outside the United States.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in case a Bearer Security of any series is
surrendered at any such office or agency in a permitted exchange for a
Registered Security of the same series and like tenor after the close of
business at such office or agency on (i) any Regular Record Date and before the
opening of business at such office or agency on the relevant Interest Payment
Date, or (ii) any Special Record Date and before the opening of business at such
office or agency on the related proposed date for payment of Defaulted Interest,
such Bearer Security shall be surrendered without the coupon relating to such
Interest Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as the case may be, and
interest or Defaulted Interest, as the case may be, will not be payable on such
Interest Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as the case may be, in
respect of the Registered Security issued in exchange for such Bearer Security,
but will be payable only to the Holder of such coupon when due in accordance
with the provisions of this Indenture.

      Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall
execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities which
the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

      Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as otherwise specified as
contemplated by Section 301, any permanent global Security shall be exchangeable
only as provided in this and the next succeeding paragraph. If any beneficial
owner of an interest in a permanent global Security is entitled to exchange such
interest for Securities of such series and of like tenor and principal amount of
another authorized form and denomination, as specified as contemplated by
Section 301 and provided that any applicable notice provided in the permanent
global Security shall have been given, then without unnecessary delay but in any
event not later than the earliest date on which such interest may be so
exchanged, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee definitive Securities in
aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such beneficial
owner's interest in such permanent global Security, executed by the Company. On
or after the earliest date on which such interests may be so exchanged, such
permanent global Security shall be surrendered by the Common Depository or such
other depository as shall be specified in the Company Order with respect thereto
to the Trustee, as the Company's agent for such purpose, to be exchanged, in
whole or from time to time in part, for definitive Securities without charge and

                                       27
<PAGE>

the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for each portion of such
permanent global Security, an equal aggregate principal amount of definitive
Securities of the same series of authorized denominations and of like tenor as
the portion of such permanent global Security to be exchanged which, unless the
Securities of the series are not issuable both as Bearer Securities and as
Registered Securities, as specified as contemplated by Section 301, shall be in
the form of Bearer Securities or Registered Securities, or any combination
thereof, as shall be specified by the beneficial owner thereof; provided,
however, that no such exchanges may occur during a period beginning at the
opening of business 15 days before any selection of Securities to be redeemed
and ending on the relevant Redemption Date if the Security for which exchange is
requested may be among those selected for redemption; and provided further that
no Bearer Security delivered in exchange for a portion of a permanent global
Security shall be mailed or otherwise delivered to any location in the United
States. If a Registered Security is issued in exchange for any portion of a
permanent global Security after the close of business at the office or agency
where such exchange occurs on (i) any Regular Record Date and before the opening
of business at such office or agency on the relevant Interest Payment Date, or
(ii) any Special Record Date and before the opening of business at such office
or agency on the related proposed date for payment of Defaulted Interest,
interest or Defaulted Interest, as the case may be, will not be payable on such
Interest Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as the case may be, in
respect of such Registered Security, but will be payable on such Interest
Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as the case may be, only to the
Person to whom interest in respect of such portion of such permanent global
Security is payable in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.

      If at any time the depository for the Securities of a series issued in
global form notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as
depository for the Securities of such series or if at any time the depository
for Securities of a series shall no longer be a clearing agency registered and
in good standing under the Exchange Act or other applicable statute or
regulation, the Company shall appoint a successor depository with respect to the
Securities of such series. If a successor depository for the Securities of such
series is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after the Company receives
such notice or becomes aware of such condition, the Company will execute, and
the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and delivery
of definitive Securities of such series, will authenticate and deliver,
Registered Securities of such series in definitive form in an aggregate
principal amount equal to the principal amount of such global Security
representing such series in exchange for such global Security. In addition, if
the Registered Securities of any series shall have been issued in global form
and if an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of such series shall
have occurred and be continuing, the Company will promptly execute, and the
Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of
definitive Securities of such series, will authenticate and deliver, Registered
Securities of such series in definitive form and in an aggregate principal
amount equal to the principal amount of the global Security representing such
series in exchange for such global Security.

                                       28
<PAGE>

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

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

      No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or
exchange of Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient
to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection
with any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, other than
exchanges pursuant to Section 304, 906, 1107 or 1305 not involving any transfer.

      The Company shall not be required (i) to issue, register the transfer of
or exchange any Security if such Security may be among those selected for
redemption during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before
selection of the Securities to be redeemed under Section 1103 and ending at the
close of business on (A) if such Securities are issuable only as Registered
Securities, the day of the mailing of the relevant notice of redemption and (B)
if such Securities are issuable as Bearer Securities, the day of the first
publication of the relevant notice of redemption or, if such Securities are also
issuable as Registered Securities and there is no publication, the mailing of
the relevant notice of redemption, or (ii) to register the transfer of or
exchange any Registered Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part,
except, in the case of any Registered Security to be redeemed in part, the
portion thereof not to be redeemed, or (iii) to exchange any Bearer Security so
selected for redemption except that such a Bearer Security may be exchanged for
a Registered Security of that series and like tenor, provided that such
Registered Security shall be simultaneously surrendered for redemption, or (iv)
to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Security which has been
surrendered for repayment at the option of the Holder, except the portion, if
any, of such Security not to be so repaid.

      SECTION 306. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities. If any
mutilated Security or a Security with a mutilated coupon appertaining to it is
surrendered to the Trustee or the Company, together with, in proper cases, such
security or indemnity as may be required by the Company or the Trustee to save
each of them or any agent of either of them harmless, the Company shall execute
and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a new
Security of the same series and principal amount, containing identical terms and
provisions and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding, with coupons
corresponding to the coupons, if any, appertaining to the surrendered Security.

      If there shall be delivered to the Company and to the Trustee (i) evidence
to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security or
coupon, and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save
each of them and any agent of either of them harmless, then, in the absence of
notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Security or

                                       29
<PAGE>

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

      Notwithstanding the provisions of the previous two paragraphs, in case any
such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security or coupon has become or is
about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of
issuing a new Security, pay such Security or coupon; provided, however, that
payment of principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on Bearer
Securities shall, except as otherwise provided in Section 1002, be payable only
at an office or agency located outside the United States and, unless otherwise
specified as contemplated by Section 301, any interest on Bearer Securities
shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of the coupons
appertaining thereto.

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

      Every new Security of any series with its coupons, if any, issued pursuant
to this Section in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Security, or in
exchange for a Security to which a destroyed, lost or stolen coupon appertains,
shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company,
whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security and its coupons, if any,
or the destroyed, lost or stolen coupon shall be at any time enforceable by
anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and
proportionately with any and all other Securities of that series and their
coupons, if any, duly issued hereunder.

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

      SECTION 307. Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved; Optional
Interest Reset. (a) Except as otherwise specified with respect to a series of
Securities in accordance with the provisions of Section 301, interest, if any,
on any Registered Security that is payable, and is punctually paid or duly
provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose
name that Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the
close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest at the office or
agency of the Company maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 1002;
provided, however, that each installment of interest, if any, on any Registered
Security may at the Company's option be paid by (i) mailing a check for such
interest, payable to or upon the written order of the Person entitled thereto

                                       30
<PAGE>

pursuant to Section 309, to the address of such Person as it appears on the
Security Register or (ii) transfer to an account maintained by the payee inside
the United States.

      Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to
the Securities of any series, payment of interest, if any, may be made, in the
case of a Bearer Security, by transfer to an account maintained by the payee
with a bank located outside the United States.

      Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 301, every permanent
global Security will provide that interest, if any, payable on any Interest
Payment Date will be paid to each of Euroclear and CEDEL with respect to that
portion of such permanent global Security held for its account by the Common
Depository, for the purpose of permitting each of Euroclear and CEDEL to credit
the interest, if any, received by it in respect of such permanent global
Security to the accounts of the beneficial owners thereof.

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

      Except as otherwise specified with respect to a series of Securities in
accordance with the provisions of Section 301, any interest on any Registered
Security of any series that is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly
provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (herein called "Defaulted Interest")
shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered Holder thereof on the
relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder, and such
Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as
provided in clause (1) or (2) below:

            (1) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest
      to the Persons in whose names the Registered Securities of such series (or
      their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of
      business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted
      Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall
      notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed
      to be paid on each Registered Security of such series and the date of the
      proposed payment (which shall not be less than 20 days after such notice
      is received by the Trustee), and at the same time the Company shall
      deposit with the Trustee an amount of money in Dollars equal to the
      aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest
      or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit on
      or prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to
      be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted
      Interest as in this clause provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a
      Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall
      be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the date of
      the proposed payment and not less than 10

                                       31
<PAGE>

      days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed
      payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such Special
      Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall
      cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the
      Special Record Date therefor to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to
      each Holder of Registered Securities of such series at his address as it
      appears in the Security Register not less than 10 days prior to such
      Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted
      Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been mailed as
      aforesaid, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose
      names the Registered Securities of such series (or their respective
      Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on such
      Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the
      following clause (2). In case a Bearer Security of any series is
      surrendered at the office or agency in a Place of Payment for such series
      in exchange for a Registered Security of such series after the close of
      business at such office or agency on any Special Record Date and before
      the opening of business at such office or agency on the related proposed
      date for payment of Defaulted Interest, such Bearer Security shall be
      surrendered without the coupon relating to such proposed date of payment
      and Defaulted Interest will not be payable on such proposed date of
      payment in respect of the Registered Security issued in exchange for such
      Bearer Security, but will be payable only to the Holder of such coupon
      when due in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.

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

      (b) The provisions of this Section 307(b) may be made applicable to any
series of Securities pursuant to Section 301 (with such modifications, additions
or substitutions as may be specified pursuant to such Section 301). The interest
rate (or the spread or spread multiplier used to calculate such interest rate,
if applicable) on any Security of such series may be reset by the Company on the
date or dates specified on the face of such Security (each an "Optional Reset
Date"). The Company may exercise such option with respect to such Security by
notifying the Trustee of such exercise at least 45 but not more than 60 days
prior to an Optional Reset Date for such Security. Not later than 35 days prior
to each Optional Reset Date, the Trustee shall transmit, in the manner provided
for in Section 106, to the Holder of any such Security a notice (the "Reset
Notice") indicating whether the Company has elected to reset the interest rate
(or the spread or spread multiplier used to calculate such interest rate, if
applicable), and if so (i) such new interest rate (or such new spread or spread
multiplier, if applicable) and (ii) the provisions, if any, for redemption
during the period from such Optional Reset Date to the next Optional Reset Date
or if there is no such next Optional Reset Date, to the Stated Maturity of such
Security (each such period a "Subsequent Interest Period"), including the date
or dates on which or the

                                       32
<PAGE>

period or periods during which and the price or prices at which such redemption
may occur during the Subsequent Interest Period.

      Notwithstanding the foregoing, not later than 20 days prior to the
Optional Reset Date, the Company may, at its option, revoke the interest rate
(or the spread or spread multiplier used to calculate such interest rate, if
applicable) provided for in the Reset Notice and establish a higher interest
rate (or a spread or spread multiplier providing for a higher interest rate, if
applicable) for the Subsequent Interest Period by causing the Trustee to
transmit, in the manner provided for in Section 106, notice of such higher
interest rate (or such spread or spread multiplier providing for a higher
interest rate, if applicable) to the Holder of such Security. Such notice shall
be irrevocable. All Securities with respect to which the interest rate (or the
spread or spread multiplier used to calculate such interest rate, if applicable)
is reset on an Optional Reset Date, and with respect to which the Holders of
such Securities have not tendered such Securities for repayment (or have validly
revoked any such tender) pursuant to the next succeeding paragraph, will bear
such higher interest rate (or such spread or spread multiplier providing for a
higher interest rate, if applicable).

      The Holder of any such Security may have the option to elect repayment by
the Company of the principal of such Security on each Optional Reset Date at a
price equal to the principal amount thereof plus interest accrued to such
Optional Reset Date. In order to obtain repayment on an Optional Reset Date, the
Holder must follow the procedures set forth in Article Thirteen for repayment at
the option of Holders except that the period for delivery or notification to the
Trustee shall be at least 25 but not more than 30 days prior to such Optional
Reset Date and except that, if the Holder has tendered any Security for
repayment pursuant to the Reset Notice, the Holder may, by written notice to the
Trustee, revoke such tender or repayment until the close of business on the
tenth day before such Optional Reset Date.

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

      SECTION 308. Optional Extension of Maturity. The provisions of this
Section 308 may be made applicable to any series of Securities pursuant to
Section 301 (with such modifications, additions or substitutions as may be
specified pursuant to such Section 301). The Stated Maturity of any Security of
such series may be extended at the option of the Company for the period or
periods specified on the face of such Security (each an "Extension Period") up
to but not beyond the date (the "Final Maturity") set forth on the face of such
Security. The Company may exercise such option with respect to any Security by
notifying the Trustee of such exercise at least 45 but not more than 60 days
prior to the Stated Maturity of such Security in effect prior to the exercise of
such option (the "Original Stated Maturity"). If the Company exercises such
option, the Trustee shall transmit, in the manner provided for in Section 106,
to the Holder of such Security not later than 35 days prior to the Original
Stated Maturity a notice (the "Extension Notice") indicating (i) the election of
the Company to extend the Stated

                                       33
<PAGE>

Maturity, (ii) the new Stated Maturity, (iii) the interest rate (or spread,
spread multiplier or other formula to calculate such interest rate, if
applicable), if any, applicable to the Extension Period and (iv) the provisions,
if any, for redemption during such Extension Period. Upon the Trustee's
transmittal of the Extension Notice, the Stated Maturity of such Security shall
be extended automatically and, except as modified by the Extension Notice and as
described in the next paragraph, such Security will have the same terms as prior
to the transmittal of such Extension Notice.

      Notwithstanding the foregoing, not later than 20 days before the Original
Stated Maturity of such Security, the Company may, at its option, revoke the
interest rate (or spread, spread multiplier or other formula used to calculate
such interest rate, if applicable) provided for in the Extension Notice and
establish a higher interest rate (or spread, spread multiplier or other formula
used to calculate such higher interest rate, if applicable) for the Extension
Period by causing the Trustee to transmit, in the manner provided for in Section
106, notice of such higher interest rate (or spread, spread multiplier or other
formula used to calculate such interest rate, if applicable) to the Holder of
such Security. Such notice shall be irrevocable. All Securities with respect to
which the Stated Maturity is extended will bear such higher interest rate.

      If the Company extends the Stated Maturity of any Security, the Holder
will have the option to elect repayment of such Security by the Company on the
Original Stated Maturity at a price equal to the principal amount thereof, plus
interest accrued to such date. In order to obtain repayment on the Original
Stated Maturity once the Company has extended the Stated Maturity thereof, the
Holder must follow the procedures set forth in Article Thirteen for repayment at
the option of Holders, except that the period for delivery or notification to
the Trustee shall be at least 25 but not more than 30 days prior to the Original
Stated Maturity and except that, if the Holder has tendered any Security for
repayment pursuant to an Extension Notice, the Holder may by written notice to
the Trustee revoke such tender for repayment until the close of business on the
tenth day before the Original Stated Maturity.

      SECTION 309. Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentment of a
Registered Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and
any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name such
Registered Security is registered as the owner of such Security for the purpose
of receiving payment of principal of (and premium, if any) and (subject to
Sections 305 and 307) interest, if any, on such Registered Security and for all
other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Registered Security be overdue,
and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee
shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

      Title to any Bearer Security and any coupons appertaining thereto shall
pass by delivery. The Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the
Trustee may treat the bearer of any Bearer Security and the bearer of any coupon
as the absolute owner of such Security or coupon for the purpose of receiving
payment thereof or on account thereof and for all other purposes whatsoever,
whether or not such Security or coupon be overdue, and neither the

                                       34
<PAGE>

Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be
affected by notice to the contrary.

      None of the Company, the Trustee, any Paying Agent or the Security
Registrar will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the
records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership
interests of a Security in global form or for maintaining, supervising or
reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests.

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

      SECTION 310. Cancellation. All Securities and coupons surrendered for
payment, redemption, repayment at the option of the Holder, registration of
transfer or exchange or for credit against any sinking fund payment shall, if
surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee,
and any such Securities and coupons surrendered directly to the Trustee for any
such purpose shall be promptly canceled by it. The Company may at any time
deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated
and delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner
whatsoever, and may deliver to the Trustee (or to any other Person for delivery
to the Trustee) for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated
hereunder which the Company has not issued and sold, and all Securities so
delivered shall be promptly canceled by the Trustee. If the Company shall so
acquire any of the Securities, however, such acquisition shall not operate as a
redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Securities
unless and until the same are surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation. No
Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Securities
canceled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this
Indenture. Canceled Securities and coupons held by the Trustee shall be
destroyed by the Trustee and the Trustee shall deliver a certificate of such
destruction to the Company, unless by a Company Order the Company directs their
return to it.

      SECTION 311. Computation of Interest. Except as otherwise specified as
contemplated by Section 301 with respect to Securities of any series, interest,
if any, on the Securities of each series shall be computed on the basis of a
360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.

      SECTION 312. CUSIP Numbers. The Company in issuing the Securities may use
"CUSIP" numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall
indicate the "CUSIP" numbers of the Securities 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 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.

                           SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE

      SECTION 401. Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture. This Indenture shall
upon Company Request cease to be of further effect with respect to any series of
Securities specified in such Company Request (except as to any surviving rights
of registration of transfer or exchange of Securities of such series expressly
provided for herein or pursuant hereto and any right to receive Additional
Amounts, as provided in Section 1004), and the Trustee, upon receipt of a
Company Order, and at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper
instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture as to
such series when

            (1) either

                  (A) all Securities of such series theretofore authenticated
            and delivered and all coupons, if any, appertaining thereto (other
            than (i) coupons appertaining to Bearer Securities surrendered for
            exchange for Registered Securities and maturing after such exchange,
            whose surrender is not required or has been waived as provided in
            Section 305, (ii) Securities and coupons of such series which have
            been destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been replaced or paid
            as provided in Section 306, (iii) coupons appertaining to Securities
            called for redemption and maturing after the relevant Redemption
            Date, whose surrender has been waived as provided in Section 1106,
            and (iv) Securities and coupons of such series for whose payment
            money has theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held
            in trust by the Company and thereafter repaid to the Company or
            discharged from such trust, as provided in Section 1003) have been
            delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or

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

                (i) have become due and payable, or

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

                (iii)if redeemable at the option of the Company, are to be
                     called for redemption within one year under arrangements
                     satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of
                     redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense,
                     of the Company,

            and the Company, in the case of (i), (ii) or (iii) above, has
            irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as
            trust funds in trust for such purpose an amount in Dollars
            sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on such
            Securities and such coupons not theretofore delivered to the Trustee
            for

                                       36
<PAGE>

            cancellation, for principal (and premium, if any) and interest, if
            any, to the date of such deposit (in the case of Securities which
            have become due and payable) or to the Stated Maturity or Redemption
            Date, as the case may be;

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

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

      Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the
obligations of the Company to the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee under
Section 606, the obligations of the Company to any Authenticating Agent under
Section 611 and, if money shall have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to
subclause (B) of clause (1) of this Section, the obligations of the Trustee
under Section 402 and the last paragraph of Section 1003 shall survive.

      SECTION 402. Application of Trust Funds. Subject to the provisions of the
last paragraph of Section 1003, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to
Section 401 shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the
provisions of the Securities, the coupons and this Indenture, to the payment,
either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its
own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto,
of the principal (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, for whose payment
such money has been deposited with or received by the Trustee, but such money
need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

                                  ARTICLE FIVE

                                    REMEDIES

      SECTION 501. Events of Default. "Event of Default", wherever used herein
with respect to any particular series of Securities, means any one of the
following events (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether or
not it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or
pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or
regulation of any administrative or governmental body):

            (1) default in the payment of any interest upon any Security of that
      series or of any coupon appertaining thereto or any Additional Amounts
      payable in respect of any Security of that series, when such interest or
      coupon or Additional Amounts become due and payable, and continuance of
      such default for a period of 30 days; or

            (2) default in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any,
      on) any Security of that series when it becomes due and payable at its
      Maturity; or

                                       37
<PAGE>

            (3) default in the deposit of any sinking fund payment, when and as
      due by the terms of any Security of that series; or

            (4) default in the performance, or breach, of any covenant or
      agreement of the Company in this Indenture with respect to any Security of
      that series (other than a covenant or agreement a default in whose
      performance or whose breach is elsewhere in this Section specifically
      dealt with), and continuance of such default or breach for a period of 60
      days after there has been given, by registered or certified mail, to the
      Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of
      at least 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that
      series a written notice specifying such default or breach and requiring it
      to be remedied and stating that such notice is a "Notice of Default"
      hereunder; or

            (5) a default under any bond, debenture, note or other evidence of
      Indebtedness (including a default with respect to Securities of any series
      other than that series) or under any mortgage, indenture (including this
      Indenture) or instrument under which there may be issued or by which there
      may be secured or evidenced any Indebtedness by the Company or any
      Subsidiary in excess of $25,000,000 in the aggregate (other than (i) any
      Indebtedness arising from the obligation to make an equity investment in a
      Subsidiary or (ii) Indebtedness which is payable solely out of the
      property of assets of a partnership, joint venture or similar entity of
      which the Company or any such Subsidiary is a participant, or which is
      secured by a Lien on the property or assets owned or held by such entity,
      without further recourse to or liability of the Company or any such
      Subsidiary), whether such Indebtedness now exists or shall hereafter be
      created, which default shall have resulted in such Indebtedness becoming
      or being declared due and payable prior to the date on which it would
      otherwise have become due and payable, without such acceleration having
      been rescinded or annulled within a period of 30 days after there shall
      have been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Company by the
      Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of not less than
      25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series a
      written notice specifying such default and requiring the Company to cause
      such acceleration to be rescinded or annulled and stating that such notice
      is a "Notice of Default" hereunder; provided, however, that if such
      default shall be remedied or cured by the Company or waived by the holders
      of such Indebtedness, then the Event of Default hereunder by reason
      thereof shall be deemed likewise to have been thereupon remedied, cured or
      waived without any action on the part of the Trustee or any of the
      Holders; or

            (6) the Company pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy
      Law:

                  (A) commences a voluntary case,

                  (B) consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in
            an involuntary case,

                                       38
<PAGE>

                  (C) consents to the appointment of a Custodian of it or for
            all or substantially all of its property and such Custodian is not
            discharged within 60 days, or

                  (D) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its
            creditors; or

            (7) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree
      under any Bankruptcy Law that:

                  (A) is for relief against the Company in an involuntary case,

                  (B) appoints a Custodian of the Company or for all or
            substantially all of its property, or

                  (C) orders the liquidation of the Company,

      and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 90 days; or

            (8) any other Event of Default provided with respect to Securities
      of that series.

      The term "Bankruptcy Law" means title 11, U.S. Code or any similar Federal
or State law for the relief of debtors. The term "Custodian" means any receiver,
trustee, assignee, liquidator or other similar official under any Bankruptcy
Law.

      SECTION 502. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment. If an
Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series at the time
Outstanding occurs and is continuing, then and in every such case the Trustee or
the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities of that series may declare the principal (or, if any Securities are
Original Issue Discount Securities or Indexed Securities, such portion of the
principal as may be specified in the terms thereof) of all the Securities of
that series to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the
Company (and to the Trustee if given by the Holders), and upon any such
declaration such principal or specified portion thereof shall become immediately
due and payable.

      At any time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to
Securities of any series has been made and before a judgment or decree for
payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter
provided in this Article, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of that series, by written notice to the Company and the
Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if:

            (1) the Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum
      sufficient to pay in Dollars (except as otherwise specified pursuant to
      Section 301 for the Securities of such series):

                                       39
<PAGE>

                  (A) all overdue installments of interest, if any, on all
            Outstanding Securities of that series and any related coupons,

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

                  (C) to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful,
            interest upon overdue installments of interest at the rate or rates
            borne by or provided for in such Securities, and

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

            (2) all Events of Default with respect to Securities of that series,
      other than the nonpayment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or
      interest on Securities of that series which have become due solely by such
      declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in
      Section 513.

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

      SECTION 503. Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by
Trustee. The Company covenants that if:

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

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

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

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

                                       40
<PAGE>

of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or
final decree, and may enforce the same against the Company or any other obligor
upon Securities of such series and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be
payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or any
other obligor upon such Securities of such series, wherever situated.

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

      SECTION 504.Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of
any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization,
arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to
the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities or the property of the
Company or of such other obligor or their creditors, the Trustee (irrespective
of whether the principal of the Securities of any series shall then be due and
payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of
whether the Trustee shall have made any demand on the Company for the payment of
any overdue principal, premium or interest) shall be entitled and empowered, by
intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

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

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

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator (or
other similar official) in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by
each Holder of Securities of such series and coupons to make such payments to
the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of
such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to
it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Trustee and any predecessor Trustee, their agents and counsel, and any other
amounts due the Trustee or any predecessor Trustee under Section 606.

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

                                       41
<PAGE>

Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of
any Holder of a Security or coupon in any such proceeding.

      SECTION 505. Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Securities
or Coupons. All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or any of the
Securities or coupons may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the
possession of any of the Securities or coupons or the production thereof in any
proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee
shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any
recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents
and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securities and
coupons in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.

      SECTION 506. Application of Money Collected. Any money collected by the
Trustee pursuant to this Article shall be applied in the following order, at the
date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such
money on account of principal (or premium, if any) or interest, if any, upon
presentation of the Securities or coupons, or both, as the case may be, and the
notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender
thereof if fully paid:

        FIRST:    To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee and any
                  predecessor Trustee under Section 606;

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

        THIRD:    To the payment of the remainder, if any, to the Company or any
                  other Person or Persons entitled thereto.

      SECTION 507. Limitation on Suits. No Holder of any Security of any series
or any related coupon shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial
or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a
receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless:

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

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

                                       42
<PAGE>

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

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

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

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

      SECTION 508. Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal, Premium
and Interest. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder
of any Security or coupon shall have the right which is absolute and
unconditional to receive payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and
(subject to Sections 305 and 307) interest, if any, on such Security or payment
of such coupon on the respective due dates expressed in such Security or coupon
(or, in the case of redemption, on the Redemption Date) and to institute suit
for the enforcement of any such payment, and such rights shall not be impaired
without the consent of such Holder.

      SECTION 509. Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Trustee or any
Holder of a Security or coupon has instituted any proceeding to enforce any
right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued
or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or
to such Holder, then and in every such case the Company, the Trustee and the
Holders of Securities and coupons shall, subject to any determination in such
proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their former positions
hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders
shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.

      SECTION 510. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. Except as otherwise provided
with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or
stolen Securities or coupons in the last paragraph of Section 306, no right or
remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders of
Securities or coupons is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy,
and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative
and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or
hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment
of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent
assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

                                       43
<PAGE>

      SECTION 511. Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of the
Trustee or of any Holder of any Security or coupon to exercise any right or
remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy
or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein.
Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the
Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed
expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders of Securities or coupons, as the
case may be.

      SECTION 512. Control by Holders of Securities. The Holders of a majority
in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series shall have the
right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any
remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on
the Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series, provided that

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

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

            (3) the Trustee need not take any action which might involve it in
      personal liability or be unjustly prejudicial to the Holders of Securities
      of such series not consenting.

      SECTION 513. Waiver of Past Defaults. The Holders of not less than a
majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series may on
behalf of the Holders of all the Securities of such series and any related
coupons waive any past default hereunder with respect to such series and its
consequences, except a default

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

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

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

      SECTION 514. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. The Company covenants (to
the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon,
or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of,
any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in
force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and
the Company (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby

                                       44
<PAGE>

expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it
will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to
the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as
though no such law had been enacted.

                                   ARTICLE SIX

                                   THE TRUSTEE

      SECTION 601. Notice of Defaults. Within 90 days after the occurrence of
any Default hereunder with respect to the Securities of any series, the Trustee
shall transmit in the manner and to the extent provided in TIA Section 313(c),
notice of such Default hereunder known to the Trustee, unless such Default shall
have been cured or waived; provided, however, that, except in the case of a
Default in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest, if
any, on any Security of such series, or in the payment of any sinking or
purchase fund installment with respect to the Securities of such series, the
Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as the
board of directors, the executive committee or a trust committee of directors
and/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
and coupons of such series; and provided further that in the case of any Default
or breach of the character specified in Section 501(4) with respect to the
Securities and coupons of such series, no such notice to Holders shall be given
until at least 60 days after the occurrence thereof.

      SECTION 602. Certain Rights of Trustee. Subject to the provisions of TIA
Section 315(a) through 315(d):

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

            (2) Any request or direction of the Company mentioned herein shall
      be sufficiently evidenced by a Company Request or Company Order (other
      than delivery of any Security, together with any coupons appertaining
      thereto, to the Trustee for authentication and delivery pursuant to
      Section 303 which shall be sufficiently evidenced as provided therein) and
      any resolution of the Board of Directors may be sufficiently evidenced by
      a Board Resolution.

            (3) Whenever in the administration of this Indenture the Trustee
      shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to
      taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the Trustee (unless
      other evidence be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of
      bad faith on its part, rely upon a Board Resolution, an Opinion of Counsel
      or an Officers' Certificate.

                                       45
<PAGE>

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

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

            (6) The Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into
      the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement,
      instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order,
      bond, debenture, note, 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 books, records and premises of the Company,
      personally or by agent or attorney.

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

            (8) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered
      or omitted 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.

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

      SECTION 603. Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Securities. The
recitals contained herein and in the Securities, except the Trustee's
certificate of authentication, and in any coupons shall be taken as the
statements of the Company, and neither the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent
assumes any responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no
representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the
Securities or coupons, except that the Trustee represents that it is duly
authorized to execute and deliver this Indenture, authenticate the Securities
and perform its obligations hereunder and that the statements made by it in a
Statement of Eligibility on Form T-1 supplied to the Company are true and
accurate, subject to the qualifications set forth therein. Neither the Trustee
nor any Authenticating Agent shall be accountable for the use or application by
the Company of Securities or the proceeds thereof.

                                       46
<PAGE>

      SECTION 604. May Hold Securities. The Trustee, any Paying Agent, Security
Registrar, Authenticating Agent or any other agent of the Company, in its
individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities
and coupons and, subject to TIA Sections 310(b) and 311, may otherwise deal with
the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Paying
Agent, Security Registrar, Authenticating Agent or such other agent.

      SECTION 605. Money Held in Trust. Money held by the Trustee in trust
hereunder need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required
by law. The Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any money
received by it hereunder except as otherwise agreed with the Company.

      SECTION 606.Compensation and Reimbursement. The Company agrees:

            (1) To pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation for
      all services rendered by it hereunder as has been agreed upon in writing
      (which compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard
      to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust).

            (2) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to reimburse each
      of the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee upon its request for all
      reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the
      Trustee in accordance with any provision of this Indenture (including the
      reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents
      and counsel), except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may be
      attributable to its negligence or bad faith.

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

      As security for the performance of the obligations of the Company under
this Section, the Trustee shall have a claim prior to the Securities upon all
property and funds held or collected by the Trustee as such, except funds held
in trust for the payment of principal of (or premium, if any) or interest, if
any, on particular Securities or any coupons.

      When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of
Default specified in Section 501(6) or (7) occurs, the expenses and compensation
for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any
Bankruptcy Law.

      SECTION 607. Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility. There shall at all
times be a Trustee hereunder which shall be eligible to act as Trustee under TIA
Section 310(a)(1) and shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least
$50,000,000. If such Corporation publishes

                                       47
<PAGE>

reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or the requirements of
Federal, State, Territorial or District of Columbia supervising or examining
authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and
surplus of such Corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and
surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at
any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with
the effect hereinafter specified in this Article.

      SECTION 608. Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor. (a) No
resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee
pursuant to this Article shall become effective until the acceptance of
appointment by the successor Trustee in accordance with the applicable
requirements of Section 609.

      (b) The Trustee may resign at any time with respect to the Securities of
one or more series by giving written notice thereof to the Company.

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

      (d) If at any time:

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

            (2) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 607 and
      shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by
      any Holder of a Security who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for
      at least six months, or

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

then, in any such case, (i) the Company by or pursuant to a Board Resolution may
remove the Trustee and appoint a successor Trustee with respect to all
Securities, or (ii) subject to TIA Section 315(e), any Holder of a Security who
has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months may, on behalf
of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee with respect to all Securities and
the appointment of a successor Trustee or Trustees.

      (e) If an instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee shall not have
been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the giving of a notice of
resignation or the delivery of an Act of removal, the Trustee resigning or being
removed may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of
a successor Trustee.

                                       48
<PAGE>

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

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

      SECTION 609. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor. (a) In case of the
appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to all Securities,
every such successor Trustee shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the
Company and to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment,
and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become
effective and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or
conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties
of the retiring Trustee; but, on request of the Company or the successor
Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges, execute and
deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights,
powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee, and shall duly assign, transfer and
deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring
Trustee hereunder, subject nevertheless to its claim, if any, provided for in
Section 606.

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

                                       49
<PAGE>

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

      (c) Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Company shall execute
any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming
to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred to in
paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, as the case may be.

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

      SECTION 610. Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business.
Any Corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which
it may be consolidated, or any Corporation resulting from any merger, conversion
or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any Corporation
succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the
Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such
Corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article,
without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of
any of the parties hereto. In case any Securities or coupons shall have been
authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor
by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt
such authentication and deliver the Securities or coupons so authenticated with
the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such
Securities or coupons. In case any Securities or coupons shall not have been
authenticated by such predecessor Trustee, any such successor Trustee may
authenticate and deliver such Securities or coupons, in either its own name or
that of its predecessor Trustee, with the full force and effect which this
Indenture provides for the certificate of authentication of the Trustee.

                                       50
<PAGE>

      SECTION 611. Appointment of Authenticating Agent. At any time when any of
the Securities remain Outstanding, the Trustee may appoint an Authenticating
Agent or Agents with respect to one or more series of Securities which shall be
authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Securities of such
series issued upon exchange, registration of transfer or partial redemption
thereof, and Securities so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of
this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if
authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. Any such appointment shall be evidenced
by an instrument in writing signed by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, a
copy of which instrument shall be promptly furnished to the Company. Wherever
reference is made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of
Securities by the Trustee or the Trustee's certificate of authentication, such
reference shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of
the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication
executed on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent. Each
Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Company and, except as may
otherwise be provided pursuant to Section 301, shall at all times be a bank or
trust company or Corporation organized and doing business and in good standing
under the laws of the United States of America or of any State or the District
of Columbia, authorized under such laws to act as Authenticating Agent, having a
combined capital and surplus of not less than $1,500,000 and subject to
supervision or examination by Federal or State authorities. If such
Authenticating Agent publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant
to law or the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority,
then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such
Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as
set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. In case at any
time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of this Section, such Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately
in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section.

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

      An Authenticating Agent for any series of Securities may at any time
resign by giving written notice of resignation to the Trustee for such series
and to the Company. The Trustee for any series of Securities may at any time
terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice of
termination to such Authenticating Agent and to the Company. Upon receiving such
a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time such
Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of this Section, the Trustee for such series may appoint a successor
Authenticating Agent which shall be acceptable to the Company and shall give
notice of such appointment to all Holders of Securities of the series with
respect to which such Authenticating Agent will serve in the manner set forth in
Section 106. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its
appointment

                                       51
<PAGE>

hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its
predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an
Authenticating Agent herein. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be
appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section.

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

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

      This is one of the Securities of the series designated therein referred to

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

            (3) to add any additional Events of Default for the benefit of the
      Holders of all or any series of Securities (and if such Events of Default

      benefit of such series); provided, however, that in respect of any such
      additional Events of Default such supplemental indenture may provide for a
      particular period of grace after default (which period may be shorter or
      longer than that allowed in the case of other defaults) or may provide for
      an immediate enforcement upon such default or may limit the remedies
      available to the Trustee upon such default or may limit the right of the
      Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of that or those
      series of Securities to which such additional Events of Default apply to
      waive such default; or

            (4) to add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture to
      provide that Bearer Securities may be registrable as to principal, to
      change or eliminate any restrictions on the payment of principal of or any

      adversely affect the interests of the Holders of Securities of any series
      or any related coupons in any material respect; or

      relating to Securities convertible into or exchangeable for any securities
      of any Person (including the Company); or

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

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

            (10) to supplement any of the provisions of this Indenture to such
      extent as shall be necessary to permit or facilitate the defeasance and
      discharge of any series of Securities pursuant to Sections 401, 1402 and
      1403; provided that any such action shall not adversely affect the
      interests of the Holders of Securities of such series and any related
      coupons or any other series of Securities in any material respect.

      SECTION 902. Supplemental Indentures With Consent of Holders. With the
consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of all
Outstanding Securities affected by such supplemental indenture, by Act of said
Holders delivered to the Company and the Trustee, the Company, when authorized
by or pursuant to a Board Resolution, and the Trustee may enter into an
indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding any
provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of
this Indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of
Securities and any related coupons under this Indenture; provided, however, that
no such supplemental indenture shall, without the consent of the Holder of each
Outstanding Security affected thereby:

            (1) change the Stated Maturity of the principal of (or premium, if
      any, on) or any installment of principal of or interest on, any Security;
      or reduce the principal amount thereof or the rate of interest (or change
      the manner of calculating the rate of interest, thereon, or any premium
      payable upon the redemption thereof, or change any obligation of the
      Company to pay Additional Amounts pursuant to Section 1004 (except as
      contemplated by Section 801(1) and permitted by Section 901(1))), or
      reduce the portion of the principal of an Original Issue Discount Security
      or Indexed Security that would be due and payable upon a declaration of
      acceleration of the Maturity thereof pursuant to Section 502 or the amount
      thereof provable in bankruptcy pursuant to Section 504, or adversely
      affect any right of repayment at the option of the Holder of any Security,
      or change any Place of Payment where any Security or any premium or
      interest thereon is payable, or impair the right to institute suit for the
      enforcement of any such payment on or after the Stated Maturity thereof
      (or, in the case of redemption or repayment at the option of the Holder,
      on or after the Redemption Date or the

                                       56
<PAGE>

      Repayment Date, as the case may be), or adversely affect any right to
      convert or exchange any Security as may be provided pursuant to Section
      301 herein, or

            (2) reduce the percentage in principal amount of the Outstanding
      Securities of any series, the consent of whose Holders is required for any
      such supplemental indenture, or the consent of whose Holders is required
      for any waiver with respect to such series (of compliance with certain
      provisions of this Indenture or certain defaults hereunder and their
      consequences) provided for in this Indenture, or reduce the requirements
      of Section 1504 for quorum or voting, or

            (3) modify any of the provisions of this Section, Section 513 or
      Section 1009, except to increase any such percentage or to provide that
      certain other provisions of this Indenture cannot be modified or waived
      without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security affected
      thereby.

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

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

      The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a Record Date for the
purpose of determining the Persons entitled to consent to any indenture
supplemental hereto. If a Record Date is fixed, the Holders on such Record Date,
or their duly designated proxies, and only such Persons, shall be entitled to
consent to such supplemental indenture, whether or not such Holders remain
Holders after such Record Date; provided, that unless such consent shall have
become effective by virtue of the requisite percentage having been obtained
prior to the date which is 90 days after such Record Date, any such consent
previously given shall automatically and without further action by any Holder be
canceled and of no further effect.

      SECTION 903. Execution of Supplemental Indentures. In executing, or
accepting the additional trusts created by, any supplemental indenture permitted
by this Article or the modification thereby of the trusts created by this
Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and shall be fully
protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of
such supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture. The
Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such supplemental
indenture which affects the Trustee's own rights, duties or immunities under
this Indenture or otherwise.

      SECTION 904. Effect of Supplemental Indentures. Upon the execution of any
supplemental indenture under this Article, this Indenture shall be modified in
accordance therewith, and such supplemental indenture shall form a part of this
Indenture for all purposes;

                                       57
<PAGE>

and every Holder of Securities theretofore or thereafter authenticated and
delivered hereunder and of any coupon appertaining thereto shall be bound
thereby.

      SECTION 905. Conformity With Trust Indenture Act. Every supplemental
indenture executed pursuant to this Article shall conform to the requirements of
the Trust Indenture Act as then in effect.

      SECTION 906. Reference in Securities to Supplemental Indentures.
Securities of any series authenticated and delivered after the execution of any
supplemental indenture pursuant to this Article may, and shall, if required by
the Trustee, bear a notation in form approved by the Trustee as to any matter
provided for in such supplemental indenture. If the Company shall so determine,
new Securities of any series so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the
Trustee and the Company, to any such supplemental indenture may be prepared and
executed by the Company and authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in
exchange for Outstanding Securities of such series.

                                   ARTICLE TEN

                                    COVENANTS

      SECTION 1001. Payment of Principal, Premium, if any, and Interest. The
Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of the Holders of each series of
Securities that it will duly and punctually pay the principal of (and premium,
if any) and interest, if any, on the Securities of that series in accordance
with the terms of such series of Securities, any coupons appertaining thereto
and this Indenture. Any interest due on Bearer Securities on or before Maturity,
other than Additional Amounts, if any, payable as provided in Section 1004 in
respect of principal of (or premium, if any, on) such a Security, shall be
payable only upon presentation and surrender of the several coupons for such
interest installments as are evidenced thereby as they severally mature. Unless
otherwise specified with respect to Securities of any series pursuant to Section
301, at the option of the Company, all payments of principal may be paid by
check to the registered Holder of the Registered Security or other person
entitled thereto against surrender of such Security. Unless otherwise specified
as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to any series of Securities, any
interest due on Bearer Securities on or before Maturity shall be payable only
upon presentation and surrender of the several coupons for such interest
installments as are evidenced thereby as they severally mature.

      SECTION 1002. Maintenance of Office or Agency. If Securities of a series
are issuable only as Registered Securities, the Company shall maintain in each
Place of Payment for any series of Securities an office or agency where
Securities of that series may be presented or surrendered for payment, where
Securities of that series may be surrendered for registration of transfer or
exchange, where Securities of that series that are convertible or exchangeable
may be surrendered for conversion or exchange, as applicable, and where notices
and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities of that series
and this Indenture may be served. If Securities of a series are issuable as
Bearer Securities, the Company will maintain (A) in the

                                       58
<PAGE>

Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, an office or agency where any
Registered Securities of that series may be presented or surrendered for
payment, where any Registered Securities of that series may be surrendered for
registration of transfer, where Securities of that series may be surrendered for
exchange, where Securities of that series that are convertible or exchangeable
may be surrendered for conversion or exchange, as applicable, and where notices
and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities of that series
and this Indenture may be served and where Bearer Securities of that series and
related coupons may be presented or surrendered for payment in the circumstances
described in the following paragraph (and not otherwise), (B) subject to any
laws or regulations applicable thereto, in a Place of Payment for that series
which is located outside the United States, an office or agency where Securities
of that series and related coupons may be presented and surrendered for payment;
provided, however, that if the Securities of that series are listed on the
Luxembourg Stock Exchange or any other stock exchange located outside the United
States and such stock exchange shall so require, the Company will maintain a
Paying Agent for the Securities of that series in Luxembourg or any other
required city located outside the United States, as the case may be, so long as
the Securities of that series are listed on such exchange, and (C) subject to
any laws or regulations applicable thereto, in a Place of Payment for that
series located outside the United States an office or agency where any
Registered Securities of that series may be surrendered for registration of
transfer, where Securities of that series may be surrendered for exchange, where
Securities of that series that are convertible or exchangeable may be
surrendered for conversion or exchange, as applicable and where notices and
demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities of that series and
this Indenture may be served. The Company will give prompt written notice to the
Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of each such office or
agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required
office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof,
such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the
Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, except that Bearer Securities of that
series and the related coupons may be presented and surrendered for payment at
the offices specified in the Security, in London, England, and the Company
hereby appoints the same as its agent to receive such respective presentations,
surrenders, notices and demands, and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee its
agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands.

      Unless otherwise specified with respect to any Securities pursuant to
Section 301, no payment of principal, premium or interest on Bearer Securities
shall be made at any office or agency of the Company in the United States or by
check mailed to any address in the United States or by transfer to an account
maintained with a bank located in the United States; provided, however, that, if
the Securities of a series are payable in Dollars, payment of principal of (and
premium, if any) and interest, if any, on any Bearer Security shall be made at
the office of the Company's Paying Agent in the Borough of Manhattan, The City
of New York, if (but only if) payment in Dollars of the full amount of such
principal, premium or interest, as the case may be, at all offices or agencies
outside the United States maintained for such purpose by the Company in
accordance with this Indenture, is illegal or effectively precluded by exchange
controls or other similar restrictions.

                                       59
<PAGE>

      The Company may from time to time designate one or more other offices or
agencies where the Securities of one or more series may be presented or
surrendered for any or all of such purposes, and may from time to time rescind
such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission
shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office
or agency in accordance with the requirements set forth above for Securities of
any series for such purposes. The Company will give prompt written notice to the
Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location
of any such other office or agency. Unless otherwise specified with respect to
any Securities pursuant to Section 301 with respect to a series of Securities,
the Company hereby designates as Places of Payment for each series of Securities
the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New
York, and initially appoints the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office as Paying
Agent in such city and as its agent to receive all such presentations,
surrenders, notices and demands.

      SECTION 1003. Money for Securities Payments to be Held in Trust. If the
Company shall at any time act as its own Paying Agent with respect to any series
of any Securities and any related coupons, it will, on or before each due date
of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest, if any, on any of the
Securities of that series, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the
Persons entitled thereto a sum in Dollars (except as otherwise specified
pursuant to Section 301 for the Securities of such series) sufficient to pay the
principal (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on Securities of such
series so becoming due until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or
otherwise disposed of as herein provided, and will promptly notify the Trustee
of its action or failure so to act.

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

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

      Except as otherwise provided in the Securities of any series, any money
deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in
trust for the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest, if
any, on any Security of any series and remaining unclaimed for two years after
such principal, premium or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to
the Company upon Company Request or (if then held by the Company) shall be
discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Security shall thereafter, as
an unsecured

                                       60
<PAGE>

general creditor, look only to the Company for payment of such principal,
premium or interest on any Security, without interest thereon, and all liability
of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all
liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided,
however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make
any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be published
once, in an Authorized Newspaper, notice that such money remains unclaimed and
that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from
the date of such publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining
will be repaid to the Company.

      SECTION 1004. Additional Amounts. If the Securities of a series provide
for the payment of Additional Amounts, the Company will pay to the Holder of a
Security of such series or any coupon appertaining thereto Additional Amounts as
may be specified as contemplated by Section 301. Whenever in this Indenture
there is mentioned, in any context, the payment of the principal of (or premium,
if any) or interest, if any, on any Security of any series or payment of any
related coupon or the net proceeds received on the sale or exchange of any
Security of any series, such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the
payment of Additional Amounts provided by the terms of such series established
pursuant to Section 301 to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts
are, were or would be payable in respect thereof pursuant to such terms; express
mention of the payment of Additional Amounts (if applicable) in any provisions
hereof shall not be construed as excluding Additional Amounts (where applicable)
in those provisions hereof where such express mention is not made.

      Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, if the
Securities of a series provide for the payment of Additional Amounts, at least
10 days prior to the first Interest Payment Date with respect to that series of
Securities (or if the Securities of that series will not bear interest prior to
Maturity, the first day on which a payment of principal or premium, if any, is
made), and at least 10 days prior to each date of payment of principal, premium,
if any, or interest if there has been any change with respect to the matters set
forth in the below-mentioned Officers' Certificate, the Company will furnish the
Trustee and the Company's Paying Agent or Paying Agents, if other than the
Trustee, with an Officers' Certificate instructing the Trustee and such Paying
Agent or Paying Agents whether such payment of principal, premium or interest on
the Securities of that series shall be made to Holders of Securities of that
series or any related coupons who are not United States persons without
withholding for or on account of any tax, assessment or other governmental
charge described in the Securities of the series. If any such withholding shall
be required, then such Officers' Certificate shall specify by country the
amount, if any, required to be withheld on such payments to such Holders of
Securities of that series or related coupons and the Company will pay to the
Trustee or such Paying Agent the Additional Amounts required by the terms of
such Securities. In the event that the Trustee or any Paying Agent, as the case
may be, shall not so receive the above-mentioned certificate, then the Trustee
or such Paying Agent shall be entitled (i) to assume that no such withholding or
deduction is required with respect to any payment of principal, premium, if any,
or interest with respect to any Securities of a series or related coupons until
it shall have received a certificate advising otherwise and (ii) to make all
payments of principal and interest with respect to the Securities of a series or
related coupons without withholding or deductions until otherwise

                                       61

advised. The Company agrees to indemnify the Trustee and any Paying Agent for,
and to hold them harmless against, any loss, liability or expense reasonably
incurred without negligence or bad faith on their part arising out of or in
connection with actions taken or omitted by any of them in reliance on any
Officers' Certificate furnished pursuant to this Section or in reliance on the
Company's not furnishing such an Officers' Certificate.

      SECTION 1005. Limitation on Liens. The Company will not, and will not
permit any of its Subsidiaries to, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any
Lien upon or with respect to any property or assets (real or personal, tangible
or intangible) of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, whether now owned or
hereafter acquired, to secure any Indebtedness that is incurred, issued, assumed
or guaranteed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries without in any such case
effectively providing, concurrently with the incurrence, issuance, assumption or
guaranty of any such Indebtedness, that the Securities shall be equally and
ratably secured with any and all such Indebtedness; provided, however, that the
foregoing restrictions shall not apply to or prevent the creation, incurrence,
assumption or existence of:

            (1) Liens existing on the date of this Indenture;

            (2) Liens to secure or provide for the payment of all or any part of
      the purchase price of any such property or assets or the cost of
      construction or improvement thereof; provided that no such Lien shall
      extend to or cover any other property or assets of the Company or such
      Subsidiary of the Company;

            (3) Liens granted or assumed by Subsidiaries (other than Material
      Subsidiaries) in connection with project financings or other Indebtedness
      that is not guaranteed by or otherwise an obligation of a Material
      Subsidiary;

            (4) Liens on the equity interest of any Subsidiary that is not a
      Material Subsidiary in connection with project financings;

            (5) Liens for taxes not yet due, or Liens for taxes being contested
      in good faith and by appropriate proceedings for which adequate reserves
      have been established;

            (6) Liens incidental to the conduct of the business of or the
      ownership of property by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries which were
      not incurred in connection with the borrowing of money or the obtaining of
      advances of credit and which do not in the aggregate materially detract
      from the value of its property or assets or materially impair the use
      thereof in the operation of its business;

            (7) Liens created in connection with worker's compensation,
      unemployment insurance and other social security legislation;

            (8) the replacement, extension or renewal (or successive
      replacements, extensions or renewals), as a whole or in part, of any Lien,
      or of any agreement, referred to above in clauses (1) through (7)
      inclusive, or the replacement, extension or renewal (not

                                       62
<PAGE>

      exceeding the principal amount of Indebtedness secured thereby together
      with any premium, interest, fee or expense payable in connection with any
      such replacement, extension or renewal) of the Indebtedness secured
      thereby; provided that such replacement, extension or renewal is limited
      to all or a part of the same property that secured the Lien replaced,
      extended or renewed (plus improvements thereon or additions or accessions
      thereto); or

            (9) any other Lien not excepted by the foregoing clauses (1) through
      (8); provided that, immediately after the creation or assumption of such
      Lien, the sum of (x) the amount of outstanding Indebtedness of the Company
      and its Subsidiaries secured by all Liens created or assumed under the
      provisions of this clause (9) plus (y) the Attributable Debt with respect
      to all outstanding leases in connection with Sale and Leaseback
      Transactions entered into pursuant to the proviso to Section 1006 shall
      not exceed an amount equal to 10% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets, as
      shown on the consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of the end of
      the most recent fiscal quarter for which financial statements are
      available.

      SECTION 1006. Limitation on Sale and Leaseback Transactions. The Company
will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, enter into any Sale and
Leaseback Transaction unless (i) the Company or such Subsidiary would be
entitled to create a Lien on such property or assets securing Indebtedness in an
amount equal to the Attributable Debt with respect to such transaction without
equally and ratably securing the Securities pursuant to clauses (1) through (8)
of Section 1005 or (ii) the net proceeds of such sale are at least equal to the
fair value (as determined by the Board of Directors) of such property and the
Company or such Subsidiary shall apply or cause to be applied an amount in cash
equal to the net proceeds of such sale to the retirement, within 90 days of the
effective date of any such arrangement, of Securities, of Indebtedness of the
Company which ranks senior or pari passu with the Securities or of Indebtedness
of a Subsidiary (other than Indebtedness owed to the Company or a Subsidiary or
to PSEG); provided, however, that in addition to the transactions permitted
pursuant to the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), the Company or any Subsidiary
may enter into a Sale and Leaseback Transaction as long as the sum of (x) the
Attributable Debt with respect to such Sale and Leaseback Transaction and all
other Sale and Leaseback Transactions entered into pursuant to this proviso,
plus (y) the amount of outstanding Indebtedness secured by Liens incurred
pursuant to clause (9) of Section 1005, does not exceed an amount equal to 10%
of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets, as shown on the consolidated balance sheet
of the Company as of the end of the most recent fiscal quarter for which
financial statements are available.

      SECTION 1007. Repayment of Securities Upon a Change of Control. (a) Upon a
Change of Control, Holders of the Securities of each series shall have the right
to require that the Company repay such Holder's Securities, in whole or in part,
at a Repayment Price in cash equal to a specified percentage of the principal
amount thereof established for such series plus accrued interest, if any, to the
date of repayment, in accordance with the terms set forth in subsection (b)
below and Article 13 hereof.

                                       63
<PAGE>

      (b) Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Company shall mail
a notice to each Holder of Securities of each series (with a copy to the
Trustee) stating:

            (1) that a Change of Control has occurred and that such Holder has
      the right to require the Company to repay such Holder's Securities, in
      whole or in part (in not less than a minimum denomination required for the
      Securities of that series), at a Repayment Price in cash equal to the
      percentage of the principal amount thereof established for such series
      plus accrued interest, if any, to the date of repayment (the "Change of
      Control Offer");

            (2) the circumstances and relevant facts regarding such Change of
      Control (including information with respect to pro forma historical
      income, cash flow and capitalization of the Company after giving effect to
      such Change of Control);

            (3) the Repayment Date (which shall be a Business Day and be not
      earlier than 45 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is
      mailed) (the "Repayment Date");

            (4) that any Security of the series not tendered for purchase will
      continue to accrue interest;

            (5) that interest on any Security of the series accepted for
      repayment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer shall cease to accrue
      after the repayment of such Security on the Repayment Date;

            (6) that Holders electing to have any Security repaid pursuant to a
      Change of Control Offer will be required to surrender such Security, with
      the form entitled "Option to Elect Repayment" on the reverse of the
      Security completed, to the Trustee at the address specified in the notice
      not earlier than 45 days and not later than 30 days prior to the Repayment
      Date;

            (7) that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election if the
      Paying Agent receives, not later than the close of business on the third
      Business Day (or such shorter period as may be required by applicable law)
      preceding the Repayment Date, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or
      letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of
      Securities the Holder delivered for repayment, and a statement that such
      Holder is withdrawing its election to have such Securities repaid; and

            (8) that Holders of the series that elect to have their Securities
      repaid only in part will be issued new Securities of the series in a
      principal amount equal to then unrepaid portion of the Securities
      surrendered.

      (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, for so long as the Securities are in
the form of global Securities, the Company shall deliver to any depository
within the time periods specified above, for retransmittal to its participants,
a notice substantially to the effect specified in clauses (1) through (5) and
(7) above, which notice shall also specify the required procedures (furnished by

                                       64
<PAGE>

such depository) for holders of interests in the global Securities to tender and
receive payment of the Repayment Price for such interests (including such
depository's "Repayment Option Procedures," to the extent applicable), all in
accordance with such depository's rules, regulations and practices.

      (d) On the Repayment Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee
money sufficient without reinvestment to pay the Repayment Price of all
Securities of any series or portions thereof so tendered. The Trustee shall as
soon as practicable promptly mail to the Holders of the Securities so accepted
payment in an amount equal to the Repayment Price and as soon as practicable
authenticate and mail to such Holders a new Security of such series in a
principal amount equal to any unrepaid portion of the Security surrendered.

      (e) The Company shall comply with Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and
any other applicable laws and regulations in the event that a Change of Control
occurs and the Company is required to make a Change of Control Offer.

      SECTION 1008. Statement as to Compliance. The Company will deliver to the
Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, a brief certificate
from the principal executive officer, principal financial officer or principal
accounting officer as to his or her knowledge of the Company's compliance with
all conditions and covenants under this Indenture. For purposes of this Section
1008, such compliance shall be determined without regard to any period of grace
or requirement of notice under this Indenture.

      SECTION 1009. Waiver of Certain Covenants. The Company may omit in any
particular instance to comply with any term, provision or condition, and as
specified pursuant to Section 301(13) for Securities of any series, in any
covenants of the Company added to Article Ten pursuant to Section 301(12) or
Section 301(13) in connection with the Securities of a series, if before or
after the time for such compliance, except as otherwise contemplated in clause
(3) of Section 902 hereof, the Holders of at least a majority in principal
amount of all outstanding Securities, by Act of such Holders, waive such
compliance in such instance or generally waive compliance with such term,
provision or condition, but no such waiver shall extend to or affect such term,
provision or condition except to the extent so expressly waived, and, until such
waiver shall become effective, the obligations of the Company and the duties of
the Trustee in respect of any such term, provision or condition shall remain in
full force and effect.

                                 ARTICLE ELEVEN

                            REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES

      SECTION 1101. Applicability of Article. Securities of any series which are
redeemable before their Stated Maturity shall be redeemable in accordance with
their terms and

                                       65
<PAGE>

      SECTION 1102. (except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section
301 for Securities of any series) in accordance with this Article.

      SECTION 1103. Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee. The election of the
Company to redeem any Securities shall be evidenced by or pursuant to a Board
Resolution. In case of any redemption at the election of the Company of less
than all of the Securities of any series, the Company shall, at least 60 days
prior to the Redemption Date fixed by the Company (unless a shorter notice shall
be satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the Trustee in writing of such
Redemption Date and of the principal amount of Securities of such series to be
redeemed. In the case of any redemption of Securities prior to the expiration of
any restriction on such redemption provided in the terms of such Securities or
elsewhere in this Indenture, the Company shall furnish the Trustee with an
Officers' Certificate evidencing compliance with such restriction.

      SECTION 1104. Selection by Trustee of Securities to be Redeemed. If less
than all the Securities of any series issued on the same date with the same
terms are to be redeemed, the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be
selected not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee, from
the Outstanding Securities of such series issued on such date with the same
terms not previously called for redemption, by such method as the Trustee shall
deem fair and appropriate and which may provide for the selection for redemption
of portions (equal to the minimum authorized denomination for Securities of that
series or any integral multiple thereof) of the principal amount of Securities
of such series of a denomination larger than the minimum authorized denomination
for Securities of that series.

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

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

      SECTION 1105. Notice of Redemption. Notice of redemption shall be given in
the manner provided in Section 106, not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days
prior to the Redemption Date, unless a shorter period is specified by the terms
of such series established pursuant to Section 301, to each Holder of Securities
to be redeemed, but failure to give such notice in the manner herein provided to
the Holder of any Security designated for redemption as a whole or in part, or
any defect in the notice to any such Holder, shall not affect the validity of
the proceedings for the redemption of any other such Security or portion
thereof.

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

      All notices of redemption shall state:

                                       66
<PAGE>

            (1) the Redemption Date,

            (2) the Redemption Price and accrued interest, if any, to the
      Redemption Date payable as provided in Section 1106,

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

            (4) in case any Security is to be redeemed in part only, the notice
      which relates to such Security shall state that on and after the
      Redemption Date, upon surrender of such Security, the Holder will receive,
      without a charge, a new Security or Securities of authorized denominations
      for the principal amount thereof remaining unredeemed,

            (5) that on the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price and accrued
      interest, if any, to the Redemption Date payable as provided in Section
      1106 will become due and payable upon each such Security, or the portion
      thereof, to be redeemed and, if applicable, that interest thereon shall
      cease to accrue on and after said date,

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

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

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

            (9) if Bearer Securities of any series are to be redeemed and any
      Registered Securities of such series are not to be redeemed, and if such
      Bearer Securities may be exchanged for Registered Securities not subject
      to redemption on this Redemption Date pursuant to Section 305 or
      otherwise, the last date, as determined by the Company, on which such
      exchanges may be made, and

            (10) the CUSIP number of such Security, if any.

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

                                       67
<PAGE>

      SECTION 1106. Deposit of Redemption Price. On or prior to any Redemption
Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if
the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, which it may not do in the case
of a sinking fund payment under Article Twelve, segregate and hold in trust as
provided in Section 1003) an amount of money in Dollars (except as otherwise
specified pursuant to Section 301 for the Securities of such series) sufficient
to pay on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price of, and (unless otherwise
specified pursuant to Section 301) accrued interest on, all the Securities or
portions thereof which are to be redeemed on that date.

      SECTION 1107. Securities Payable on Redemption Date. Notice of redemption
having been given as aforesaid, the Securities so to be redeemed shall, on the
Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Redemption Price therein
specified in Dollars (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301 for
the Securities of such series) (together with accrued interest, if any, to the
Redemption Date), and from and after such date (unless the Company shall default
in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest, if any) such
Securities shall if the same were interest-bearing cease to bear interest and
the coupons for such interest appertaining to any Bearer Securities so to be
redeemed, except to the extent provided below, shall be void. Upon surrender of
any such Security for redemption in accordance with said notice, together with
all coupons, if any, appertaining thereto maturing after the Redemption Date,
such Security shall be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price, together
with accrued interest, if any, to the Redemption Date; provided, however, that
installments of interest on Bearer Securities whose Stated Maturity is on or
prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable only at an office or agency
located outside the United States (except as otherwise provided in Section 1002)
and, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, only upon
presentation and surrender of coupons for such interest; and provided further
that installments of interest on Registered Securities whose Stated Maturity is
prior to (or, if specified pursuant to Section 301, on) the Redemption Date
shall be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor
Securities, registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Record
Dates according to their terms and the provisions of Section 307.

      If any Bearer Security surrendered for redemption shall not be accompanied
by all appurtenant coupons maturing after the Redemption Date, such Security may
be paid after deducting from the Redemption Price an amount equal to the face
amount of all such missing coupons, or the surrender of such missing coupon or
coupons may be waived by the Company and the Trustee if there be furnished to
them such security or indemnity as they may require to save each of them and any
Paying Agent harmless. If thereafter the Holder of such Security shall surrender
to the Trustee or any Paying Agent any such missing coupon in respect of which a
deduction shall have been made from the Redemption Price, such Holder shall be
entitled to receive the amount so deducted; provided, however, that interest
represented by coupons shall be payable only at an office or agency located
outside the United States (except as otherwise provided in Section 1002) and,
unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, only upon
presentation and surrender of those coupons.

                                       68
<PAGE>

      If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender
thereof for redemption, the Redemption Price shall, until paid, bear interest
from the Redemption Date at the rate of interest set forth in such Security or,
in the case of an Original Issue Discount Security, at the Yield to Maturity of
such Security.

      SECTION 1108. Securities Redeemed in Part. Any Registered Security which
is to be redeemed only in part (pursuant to the provisions of this Article or of
Article Twelve) shall be surrendered at a Place of Payment therefor (with, if
the Company or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly
executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing) and
the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the
Holder of such Security without service charge a new Registered Security or
Securities of the same series, of any authorized denomination as requested by
such Holder in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the
unredeemed portion of the principal of the Security so surrendered. If a
Security for any series in global form is so surrendered, the Company shall
execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the depository for
such Security in global form as shall be specified in the Company Order with
respect thereto to the Trustee, without service charge, a new Security for such
series in global form in a denomination equal to and in exchange for, the
unredeemed portion of the principal of the Security in global form so
surrendered.

                                 ARTICLE TWELVE

                                  SINKING FUNDS

      SECTION 1201. Applicability of Article. The provisions of this Article
shall be applicable to any sinking fund for the retirement of Securities of a
series except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for
Securities of such series.

      The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the terms
of Securities of any series is herein referred to as a "mandatory sinking fund
payment", and any payment in excess of such minimum amount provided for by the
terms of such Securities of any series is herein referred to as an "optional
sinking fund payment". If provided for by the terms of any Securities of any
series, the cash amount of any mandatory sinking fund payment may be subject to
reduction as provided in Section 1202. Each sinking fund payment shall be
applied to the redemption of Securities of any series as provided for by the
terms of Securities of such series.

      SECTION 1202. Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments With Securities. The
Company may, in satisfaction of all or any part of any mandatory sinking fund
payment with respect to the Securities of a series, (1) deliver Outstanding
Securities of such series (other than any previously called for redemption)
together in the case of any Bearer Securities of such series with all unmatured
coupons appertaining thereto and (2) apply as a credit Securities of such series
which have been redeemed either at the election of the Company pursuant to the
terms of such Securities or through the application of permitted optional
sinking fund payments pursuant

                                       69
<PAGE>

to the terms of such Securities, as provided for by the terms of such
Securities; provided that such Securities so delivered or applied as a credit
have not been previously so credited. Such Securities shall be received and
credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the applicable Redemption Price
specified in such Securities for redemption through operation of the sinking
fund and the amount of such mandatory sinking fund payment shall be reduced
accordingly.

      SECTION 1203. Redemption of Securities for Sinking Fund. Not less than 60
days prior to each sinking fund payment date for Securities of any series, the
Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate specifying the
amount of the next ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment for that series
pursuant to the terms of that series, the portion thereof, if any, which is to
be satisfied by payment of cash in Dollars (except as otherwise specified
pursuant to Section 301 for the Securities of such series) and the portion
thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting Securities
of that series pursuant to Section 1202, and the optional amount, if any, to be
added in cash to the next ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment, and will also
deliver to the Trustee any Securities to be so delivered and credited. If such
Officers' Certificate shall specify an optional amount to be added in cash to
the next ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment, the Company shall thereupon be
obligated to pay the amount therein specified. Not less than 30 days before each
such sinking fund payment date the Trustee shall select the Securities to be
redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date in the manner specified in Section
1103 and cause notice of the redemption thereof to be given in the name of and
at the expense of the Company in the manner provided in Section 1104. Such
notice having been duly given, the redemption of such Securities shall be made
upon the terms and in the manner stated in Sections 1106 and 1107.

                                ARTICLE THIRTEEN

                       REPAYMENT AT THE OPTION OF HOLDERS

      SECTION 1301. Applicability of Article. Repayment of Securities of any
series before their Stated Maturity at the option of Holders thereof shall be
made in accordance with the terms of such Securities and (except as otherwise
specified by the terms of such series established pursuant to Section 301) in
accordance with this Article.

      SECTION 1302. Repayment of Securities. Securities of any series subject to
repayment in whole or in part at the option of the Holders thereof will, unless
otherwise provided in the terms of such Securities, be repaid at the Repayment
Price thereof, together with interest, if any, thereon accrued to the Repayment
Date specified in or pursuant to the terms of such Securities. The Company
covenants that on or before the Repayment Date it will deposit with the Trustee
or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent,
segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 1003) an amount of money in
Dollars (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301 for the
Securities of such series) sufficient to pay the Repayment Price of, and (unless
otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301) accrued interest on, all the
Securities or portions thereof, as the case may be, to be repaid on such date.

                                       70

      SECTION 1303. Exercise of Option. Securities of any series subject to
repayment at the option of the Holders thereof will contain an "Option to Elect
Repayment" form on the reverse of such Securities. To be repaid at the option of
the Holder, any Security so providing for such repayment, with the "Option to
Elect Repayment" form on the reverse of such Security duly completed by the
Holder (or by the Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing), must be
received by the Trustee at the Place of Payment therefor specified in the terms
of such Security (or at such other place or places of which the Company shall
from time to time notify the Holders of such Securities) not earlier than 45
days nor later than 30 days prior to the Repayment Date. If less than the entire
Repayment Price of such Security is to be repaid in accordance with the terms of
such Security, the portion of the Repayment Price of such Security to be repaid,
in increments of the minimum denomination for Securities of such series, and the
denomination or denominations of the Security or Securities to be issued to the
Holder for the portion of such Security surrendered that is not to be repaid,
must be specified. Any Security providing for repayment at the option of the
Holder thereof may not be repaid in part if, following such repayment, the
unpaid principal amount of such Security would be less than the minimum
authorized denomination of Securities of the series of which such Security to be
repaid is a part. Except as provided in Section 1007 and except as otherwise may
be provided by the terms of any Security providing for repayment at the option
of the Holder thereof, exercise of the repayment option by the Holder shall be
irrevocable unless waived by the Company.

      SECTION 1304. When Securities Presented for Repayment Become Due and
Payable. If Securities of any series providing for repayment at the option of
the Holders thereof shall have been surrendered as provided in this Article and
as provided by or pursuant to the terms of such Securities, such Securities or
the portions thereof, as the case may be, to be repaid shall become due and
payable and shall be paid by the Company on the Repayment Date therein
specified, and on and after such Repayment Date (unless the Company shall
default in the payment of such Securities on such Repayment Date) such
Securities shall, if the same were interest-bearing, cease to bear interest and
the coupons for such interest appertaining to any Bearer Securities so to be
repaid, except to the extent provided below, shall be void. Upon surrender of
any such Security for repayment in accordance with such provisions, together
with all coupons, if any, appertaining thereto maturing after the Repayment
Date, the Repayment Price of such Security so to be repaid shall be paid by the
Company, together with accrued interest, if any, to the Repayment Date;
provided, however, that coupons whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the
Repayment Date shall be payable only at an office or agency located outside the
United States (except as otherwise provided in Section 1002) and, unless
otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301, only upon presentation and
surrender of such coupons; and provided further that installments of interest on
Registered Securities, whose Stated Maturity is prior to (or, if specified
pursuant to Section 301, on) the Repayment Date shall be payable (but without
interest thereon, unless the Company shall default in the payment thereof) to
the Holders of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities,
registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Record Dates
according to their terms and the provisions of Section 307.

      If any Bearer Security surrendered for repayment shall not be accompanied
by all appurtenant coupons maturing after the Repayment Date, such Security may
be paid after

                                       71
<PAGE>

deducting from the amount payable therefor as provided in Section 1302 an amount
equal to the face amount of all such missing coupons, or the surrender of such
missing coupon or coupons may be waived by the Company and the Trustee if there
be furnished to them such security or indemnity as they may require to save each
of them and any Paying Agent harmless. If thereafter the Holder of such Security
shall surrender to the Trustee or any Paying Agent any such missing coupon in
respect of which a deduction shall have been made as provided in the preceding
sentence, such Holder shall be entitled to receive the amount so deducted;
provided, however, that interest represented by coupons shall be payable only at
an office or agency located outside the United States (except as otherwise
provided in Section 1002) and, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by
Section 301, only upon presentation and surrender of those coupons.

      If any Security surrendered for repayment shall not be so repaid upon
surrender thereof, the Repayment Price shall, until paid, bear interest from the
Repayment Date at the rate of interest set forth in such Security or, in the
case of an Original Issue Discount Security, at the Yield to Maturity of such
Security.

      SECTION 1305. Securities Repaid in Part. Upon surrender of any Registered
Security which is to be repaid in part only, the Company shall execute and the
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security, without
service charge and at the expense of the Company, a new Registered Security or
Securities of the same series, of any authorized denomination specified by the
Holder, in an aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the
portion of the principal of such Security so surrendered which is not to be
repaid.

                               ARTICLE FOURTEEN

                       DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE

      SECTION 1401. Applicability of Article; Company's Option to Effect
Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. If pursuant to Section 301 provision is made
for either or both of (a) defeasance of the Securities of or within a series
under Section 1402 or (b) covenant defeasance of the Securities of or within a
series under Section 1403, then the provisions of such Section or Sections, as
the case may be, together with the other provisions of this Article (with such
modifications thereto as may be specified pursuant to Section 301 with respect
to any Securities), shall be applicable to such Securities and any coupons
appertaining thereto, and the Company may at its option by Board Resolution, at
any time, with respect to such Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto,
elect to have Section 1402 (if applicable) or Section 1403 (if applicable) be
applied to such Outstanding Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto upon
compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article.

      SECTION 1402. Defeasance and Discharge. Upon the Company's exercise of the
above option applicable to this Section with respect to any Securities of or
within a series, the Company shall be deemed to have been discharged from its
obligations with respect to such Outstanding Securities and any coupons
appertaining thereto on the date the conditions set forth in Section 1404 are
satisfied (hereinafter, "defeasance"). For this purpose, such defeasance

                                       72
<PAGE>

means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire
indebtedness represented by such Outstanding Securities and any coupons
appertaining thereto, which shall thereafter be deemed to be "Outstanding" only
for the purposes of Section 1405 and the other Sections of this Indenture
referred to in clauses (A) and (B) of this Section, and to have satisfied all
its other obligations under such Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto
and this Indenture insofar as such Securities and any coupons appertaining
thereto are concerned (and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall
execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following
which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (A) the
rights of Holders of such Outstanding Securities and any coupons appertaining
thereto to receive, solely from the trust fund described in Section 1404 and as
more fully set forth in such Section, payments in respect of the principal of
(and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on such Securities and any coupons
appertaining thereto when such payments are due, (B) the Company's obligations
with respect to such Securities under Sections 305, 306, 1002 and 1003 and with
respect to the payment of Additional Amounts, if any, on such Securities as
contemplated by Section 1004, (C) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and
immunities of the Trustee hereunder and (D) this Article. Subject to compliance
with this Article Fourteen, the Company may exercise its option under this
Section notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 1403 with
respect to such Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto.

      SECTION 1403. Covenant Defeasance. Upon the Company's exercise of the
above option applicable to this Section with respect to any Securities of or
within a series, the Company shall be released from any obligations under any
covenant specified pursuant to Section 301, with respect to such Outstanding
Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto on and after the date the
conditions set forth in Section 1404 are satisfied (hereinafter, "covenant
defeasance"), and such Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto shall
thereafter be deemed to be not "Outstanding" for the purposes of any direction,
waiver, consent or declaration or Act of Holders (and the consequences of any
thereof) in connection with such covenant, but shall continue to be deemed
"Outstanding" for all other purposes hereunder. For this purpose, such covenant
defeasance means that, with respect to such Outstanding Securities and any
coupons appertaining thereto, the Company may omit to comply with and shall have
no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any
such Section or such other covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason
of any reference elsewhere herein to any such Section or such other covenant or
by reason of reference in any such Section or such other covenant to any other
provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not
constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 501(4) or 501(8) or
otherwise, as the case may be, but, except as specified above, the remainder of
this Indenture and such Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto shall be
unaffected thereby.

      SECTION 1404. Conditions to Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. The
following shall be the conditions to application of Section 1402 or Section 1403
to any Outstanding Securities of or within a series and any coupons appertaining
thereto:

      (a) The Company shall irrevocably have deposited or caused to be deposited
with the Trustee as trust funds in trust for the purpose of making the following
payments, specifically

                                       73
<PAGE>

pledged as security for, and dedicated solely to, the benefit of the Holders of
such Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto, (1) an amount in Dollars,
or (2) Government Obligations applicable to such Securities and coupons
appertaining thereto which, through the scheduled payment of principal and
interest in respect thereof in accordance with their terms will provide, not
later than one day before the due date of any payment of principal of (and
premium, if any) and interest, if any, on such Securities and any coupons
appertaining thereto, money in an amount, or (3) a combination thereof in an
amount, sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of
independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof
delivered to the Trustee, to pay and discharge, and which shall be applied by
the Trustee to pay and discharge, (i) the principal of (and premium, if any) and
interest, if any, on such Outstanding Securities and any coupons appertaining
thereto on the Stated Maturity of such principal or installment of principal or
interest and (ii) any mandatory sinking fund payments or analogous payments
applicable to such Outstanding Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto
on the day on which such payments are due and payable in accordance with the
terms of this Indenture and of such Securities and any coupons appertaining
thereto.

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

      (c) No Default or Event of Default with respect to such Securities and any
coupons appertaining thereto shall have occurred and be continuing on the date
of such deposit or, insofar as Sections 501(6) and 501(7) are concerned, at any
time during the period ending on the 91st day after the date of such deposit (it
being understood that this condition shall not be deemed satisfied until the
expiration of such period).

      (d) In the case of an election under Section 1402, the Company shall have
delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that (i) the Company 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 such
Outstanding Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto will not recognize
income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such
defeasance and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amounts, in the
same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such defeasance
had not occurred.

      (e) In the case of an election under Section 1403, the Company shall have
delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Holders of
such Outstanding Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto will not
recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of
such covenant defeasance and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same
amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if
such covenant defeasance had not occurred.

      (f) The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers'
Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions
precedent to the defeasance under Section

                                       74
<PAGE>

1402 or the covenant defeasance under Section 1403 (as the case may be) have
been complied with and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that either (i) as a
result of a deposit pursuant to subsection (a) above and the related exercise of
the Company's option under Section 1402 or Section 1403 (as the case may be),
registration is not required under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended, by the Company, with respect to the trust funds representing such
deposit or by the trustee for such trust funds or (ii) all necessary
registrations under said Act have been effected.

      (g) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section, such defeasance
or covenant defeasance shall be effected in compliance with any additional or
substitute terms, conditions or limitations which may be imposed on the Company
in connection therewith pursuant to Section 301.

      SECTION 1405. Deposited Money and Government Obligations to be Held in
Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions. Subject to the provisions of the last
paragraph of Section 1003, all money and Government Obligations (or other
property as may be provided pursuant to Section 301) (including the proceeds
thereof) deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 1404 in respect of any
Outstanding Securities of any series and any coupons appertaining thereto shall
be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions
of such Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto and this Indenture, to
the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company
acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of
such Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto of all sums due and to
become due thereon in respect of principal (and premium, if any) and interest,
if any, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the
extent required by law.

      The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or
other charge imposed on or assessed against the Government Obligations deposited
pursuant to Section 1404 or the principal and interest received in respect
thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the
account of the Holders of such Outstanding Securities and any coupons
appertaining thereto.

      Anything in this Article to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee
shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon Company Request any
money or Government Obligations (or other property and any proceeds therefrom)
held by it as provided in Section 1404 which, in the opinion of a nationally
recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written
certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the amount
thereof which would then be required to be deposited to effect a defeasance or
covenant defeasance, as applicable, in accordance with this Article.

                        MEETINGS OF HOLDERS OF SECURITIES

      SECTION 1501. Purposes for Which Meetings May be Called. If Securities of
a series are issuable as Bearer Securities, a meeting of Holders of Securities
of such series may be called at any time and from time to time pursuant to this
Article to make, give or take any request, demand, authorization, direction,
notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be made,
given or taken by Holders of Securities of such series.

      SECTION 1502. Call, Notice and Place of Meetings. (a) The Trustee may at
any time call a meeting of Holders of Securities of any series for any purpose
specified in Section 1501, 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 Holders of Securities of any series,
setting forth the time and the place of such meeting and in general terms the
action proposed to be taken at such meeting, shall be given, in the manner
provided in Section 106, not less than 21 nor more than 180 days prior to the
date fixed for the meeting.

      (b) In case at any time the Company, pursuant to a Board Resolution, or
the Holders of at least 10% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of
any series shall have requested the Trustee to call a meeting of the Holders of
Securities of such series for any purpose specified in Section 1501, by written
request setting forth in reasonable detail the action proposed to be taken at
the meeting, and the Trustee shall not have made the first publication of the
notice of such meeting within 21 days after receipt of such request or shall not
thereafter proceed to cause the meeting to be held as provided herein, then the
Company or the Holders of Securities of such series in the amount above
specified, as the case may be, may determine the time and the place in the
Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York or in London for such meeting and may
call such meeting for such purposes by giving notice thereof as provided in
subsection (a) of this Section.

      SECTION 1503. Persons Entitled to Vote at Meetings. To be entitled to vote
at any meeting of Holders of Securities of any series, a Person shall be (1) a
Holder of one or more Outstanding Securities of such series, or (2) a Person
appointed by an instrument in writing as proxy for a Holder or Holders of one or
more Outstanding Securities of such series by such Holder or Holders. The only
Persons who shall be entitled to be present or to speak at any meeting of
Holders of Securities of any series shall be the Persons entitled to vote at
such meeting and their counsel, any representatives of the Trustee and its
counsel and any representatives of the Company and its counsel.

      SECTION 1504. Quorum; Action. The Persons entitled to vote a majority in
principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of a series shall constitute a
quorum for a meeting of Holders of Securities of such series; provided, however,
that if any action is to be taken at such meeting with respect to a consent or
waiver which this Indenture expressly provides may be given by the Holders of
not less than a specified percentage in principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities of a series, the Persons entitled to vote such specified percentage
in

                                       76
<PAGE>

principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series shall constitute a
quorum. In the absence of a quorum within 30 minutes of the time appointed for
any such meeting, the meeting shall, if convened at the request of Holders of
Securities of such series, be dissolved. In any other case the meeting may be
adjourned for a period of not less than 10 days as determined by the chairman of
the meeting prior to the adjournment of such meeting. In the absence of a quorum
at any such adjourned meeting, such adjourned meeting may be further adjourned
for a period of not less than 10 days as determined by the chairman of the
meeting prior to the adjournment of such adjourned meeting. Notice of the
reconvening of any adjourned meeting shall be given as provided in Section
1502(a), except that such notice need be given only once not less than five days
prior to the date on which the meeting is scheduled to be reconvened. Notice of
the reconvening of any adjourned meeting shall state expressly the percentage,
as provided above, of the principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such
series which shall constitute a quorum.

      Except as limited by the proviso to Section 902, any resolution presented
to a meeting or adjourned meeting duly reconvened at which a quorum is present
as aforesaid may be adopted by the affirmative vote of the Holders of a majority
in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series; provided,
however, that, except as limited by the proviso to Section 902, any resolution
with respect to any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent,
waiver or other action which this Indenture expressly provides may be made,
given or taken by the Holders of a specified percentage, which is less than a
majority, in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of a series may be
adopted at a meeting or an adjourned meeting duly reconvened and at which a
quorum is present as aforesaid by the affirmative vote of the Holders of such
specified percentage in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that
series.

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

      Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 1504, if any
action is to be taken at a meeting of Holders of Securities of any series with
respect to any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent,
waiver or other action that this Indenture expressly provides may be made, given
or taken by the Holders of a specified percentage in principal amount of all
Outstanding Securities affected thereby, or of the Holders of such series and
one or more additional series:

            (i) there shall be no minimum quorum requirement for such meeting;
      and

            (ii) the principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such
      series that vote in favor of such request, demand, authorization,
      direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action shall be taken into
      account in determining whether such request, demand, authorization,
      direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action has been made, given or
      taken under this Indenture.

                                       77
<PAGE>

      SECTION 1505. Determination of Voting Rights; Conduct and Adjournment of
Meetings. (a) Notwithstanding any provisions of this Indenture, the Trustee may
make such reasonable regulations as it may deem advisable for any meeting of
Holders of Securities of a series in regard to proof of the holding of
Securities of such series and of the appointment of proxies and in regard to the
appointment and duties of inspectors of votes, the submission and examination of
proxies, certificates and other evidence of the right to vote, and such other
matters concerning the conduct of the meeting as it shall deem appropriate.

      Except as otherwise permitted or required by any such regulations, the
holding of Securities shall be proved in the manner specified in Section 104 and
the appointment of any proxy shall be proved in the manner specified in Section
104 or by having the signature of the Person executing the proxy witnessed or
guaranteed by any trust company, bank or banker authorized by Section 104 to
certify to the holding of Bearer Securities. Such regulations may provide that
written instruments appointing proxies, regular on their face, may be presumed
valid and genuine without the proof specified in Section 104 or other proof.

      (b) The Trustee shall, by an instrument in writing appoint a temporary
chairman of the meeting, unless the meeting shall have been called by the
Company or by Holders of Securities as provided in Section 1502(b), in which
case the Company or the Holders of Securities of the series calling the meeting,
as the case may be, shall in like manner appoint a temporary chairman. A
permanent chairman and a permanent secretary of the meeting shall be elected by
vote of the Persons entitled to vote a majority in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of such series represented at the meeting.

      (c) At any meeting each Holder of a Security of such series or proxy shall
be entitled to one vote for each $1,000 principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities of such series held or represented by him; provided, however, that no
vote shall be cast or counted at any meeting in respect of any Security
challenged as not Outstanding and ruled by the chairman of the meeting to be not
Outstanding. The chairman of the meeting shall have no right to vote, except as
a Holder of a Security of such series or proxy.

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

      SECTION 1506. Counting Votes and Recording Action of Meetings. The vote
upon any resolution submitted to any meeting of Holders of Securities of any
series shall be by written ballots on which shall be subscribed the signatures
of the Holders of Securities of such series or of their representatives by proxy
and the principal amounts and serial numbers of the Outstanding Securities of
such series held or represented by them. The permanent chairman of the meeting
shall appoint two inspectors of votes who shall count all votes cast at the
meeting for or against any resolution and who shall make and file with the
secretary of the meeting their verified written reports in duplicate of all
votes cast at the meeting. A record, at least in duplicate, of the proceedings
of each meeting of Holders of Securities of any Series shall be

                                       78
<PAGE>

prepared by the secretary of the meeting and there shall be attached to said
record the original reports of the inspectors of votes on any vote by ballot
taken thereat and affidavits by one or more persons having knowledge of the
fact, setting forth a copy of the notice of the meeting and showing that said
notice was given as provided in Section 1502 and, if applicable, Section 1504.
Each copy shall be signed and verified by the affidavits of the permanent
chairman and secretary of the meeting and one such copy shall be delivered to
the Company and another to the Trustee to be preserved by the Trustee, the
latter to have attached thereto the ballots voted at the meeting. Any record so
signed and verified shall be conclusive evidence of the matters therein stated.

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

under the  Securities  Act, as soon as  practicable,  but no later than 240 days
after  the  Closing  Date,  a  registration  statement  relating  to an offer to
exchange (such registration  statement,  the "Exchange Registration  Statement",
and such offer,  the "Exchange  Offer") any and all of the Securities for a like
aggregate principal amount of debt securities issued by the Company,  which debt
securities are  substantially  identical to the Securities  (and are entitled to
the  benefits  of a trust  indenture  which is  substantially  identical  to the
Indenture  or is the  Indenture  and  which has been  qualified  under the Trust
Indenture Act),  except that they have been registered  pursuant to an effective
registration  statement  under the Securities Act and do not contain  provisions
for the additional  interest  contemplated  in Section 2(c) below (such new debt
securities hereinafter called "Exchange Securities").  The Company agrees to use
its  reasonable  best  efforts to cause the Exchange  Registration  Statement to
become  effective under the Securities Act as soon as practicable,  but no later
than 270 days after the Closing  Date.  The  Exchange  Offer will be  registered
under  the  Securities  Act on the  appropriate  form and will  comply  with all
applicable  tender  offer rules and  regulations  under the  Exchange  Act.  The
Company  further  agrees to use its best  efforts to commence  and  complete the
Exchange  Offer  promptly,  but no later than 45 days  after  such  registration
statement  has become  effective,  hold the Exchange  Offer open for at least 30
days and exchange Exchange  Securities for all Registrable  Securities that have
been properly  tendered and not  withdrawn on or prior to the  expiration of the
Exchange Offer. The

                                       4
<PAGE>

Exchange  Offer  will  be  deemed  to have  been  "completed"  only if the  debt
securities  received by holders  other than  Restricted  Holders in the Exchange
Offer for Registrable  Securities  are, upon receipt,  transferable by each such
holder  without  restriction  under the  Securities Act and the Exchange Act and
without  material  restrictions  under  the  blue  sky or  securities  laws of a
substantial majority of the States of the United States of America. The Exchange
Offer  shall be deemed to have been  completed  upon the earlier to occur of (i)
the  Company  having  exchanged  the  Exchange  Securities  for all  outstanding
Registrable  Securities  pursuant  to the  Exchange  Offer and (ii) the  Company
having exchanged,  pursuant to the Exchange Offer,  Exchange  Securities for all
Registrable Securities that have been properly tendered and not withdrawn before
the expiration of the Exchange Offer,  which shall be on a date that is at least
30 days following the commencement of the Exchange Offer. The Company agrees (x)
to include in the Exchange  Registration  Statement a prospectus  for use in any
resales by any holder of Exchange  Securities that is a broker-dealer and (y) to
keep such Exchange  Registration  Statement  effective for a period (the "Resale
Period")  beginning  when Exchange  Securities  are first issued in the Exchange
Offer and ending upon the earlier of the  expiration  of the 180th day after the
Exchange Offer has been completed or such time as such  broker-dealers no longer
own any  Registrable  Securities.  With  respect to such  Exchange  Registration
Statement,  such holders shall have the benefit of the rights of indemnification
and contribution set forth in Sections 6(a), (c), (d) and (e) hereof.

      (b) If (i) on or  prior  to the  time  the  Exchange  Offer  is  completed
existing  Commission  interpretations  are changed such that the debt securities
received by holders  other than  Restricted  Holders in the  Exchange  Offer for
Registrable  Securities are not or would not be, upon receipt,  transferable  by
each such holder without restriction under the Securities Act, (ii) the Exchange
Offer has not been completed within 315 days following the Closing Date or (iii)
the Exchange Offer is not available to any holder of the Securities, the Company
shall,  in lieu of (or, in the case of clause (iii),  in addition to) conducting
the Exchange Offer  contemplated  by Section 2(a), file under the Securities Act
as soon as  practicable,  but no later  than the later of 30 days after the time
such obligation to file arises, a "shelf"  registration  statement providing for
the  registration  of,  and the sale on a  continuous  or  delayed  basis by the
holders  of,  all of the  Registrable  Securities,  pursuant  to Rule 415 or any
similar  rule that may be adopted by the  Commission  (such  filing,  the "Shelf
Registration"  and  such  registration   statement,   the  "Shelf   Registration
Statement").  The Company agrees to use its reasonable best efforts (x) to cause
the Shelf  Registration  Statement  to become or be declared  effective no later
than 30 days after such Shelf  Registration  Statement is filed and to keep such
Shelf Registration  Statement  continuously effective for a period ending on the
earlier of the second  anniversary  of the Effective  Time or such time as there
are no longer any Registrable Securities outstanding, provided, however, that no
holder  shall be entitled to be named as a selling  securityholder  in the Shelf
Registration  Statement  or to use the  prospectus  forming a part  thereof  for
resales of Registrable  Securities unless such holder is an Electing Holder, and
(y) after the Effective Time of the Shelf Registration Statement,  promptly upon
the request of any holder of Registrable Securities that is not then an Electing
Holder, to take any action reasonably necessary to enable such holder to use the
prospectus forming a part thereof for resales of Registrable Securities,

                                       5
<PAGE>

including, without limitation, any action necessary to identify such holder as a
selling securityholder in the Shelf Registration Statement,  provided,  however,
that nothing in this Clause (y) shall relieve any such holder of the  obligation
to return a  completed  and signed  Notice and  Questionnaire  to the Company in
accordance  with  Section  3(d)(iii)  hereof.  The  Company  further  agrees  to
supplement or make amendments to the Shelf Registration  Statement,  as and when
required  by  the  rules,   regulations  or   instructions   applicable  to  the
registration form used by the Company for such Shelf  Registration  Statement or
by  the   Securities  Act  or  rules  and   regulations   thereunder  for  shelf
registration,  and the Company agrees to furnish to each Electing  Holder copies
of any  such  supplement  or  amendment  prior  to its  being  used or  promptly
following its filing with the Commission.

      (c) In the  event  that  (i)  the  Company  has  not  filed  the  Exchange
Registration  Statement or Shelf Registration Statement on or before the date on
which such  registration  statement is required to be filed  pursuant to Section
2(a) or 2(b),  respectively,  or (ii) such  Exchange  Registration  Statement or
Shelf Registration Statement has not become effective or been declared effective
by the Commission on or before the date on which such registration  statement is
required to become or be declared  effective  pursuant to Section  2(a) or 2(b),
respectively,  or (iii) the Exchange Offer has not been completed within 45 days
after the initial effective date of the Exchange Registration Statement relating
to the  Exchange  Offer (if the Exchange  Offer is then  required to be made) or
(iv)  any  Exchange  Registration  Statement  or  Shelf  Registration  Statement
required by Section  2(a) or 2(b)  hereof is filed and  declared  effective  but
shall  thereafter  either be withdrawn by the Company or shall become subject to
an effective  stop order issued  pursuant to Section 8(d) of the  Securities Act
suspending  the  effectiveness  of  such   registration   statement  (except  as
specifically  permitted  herein)  without  being  succeeded  immediately  by  an
additional  registration statement filed and declared effective (each such event
referred to in clauses (i)  through  (iv),  a  "Registration  Default"  and each
period during which a  Registration  Default has occurred and is  continuing,  a
"Registration   Default   Period"),   then,  as  liquidated   damages  for  such
Registration  Default,  subject  to the  provisions  of  Section  9(b),  special
interest ("Special Interest"), in addition to the Base Interest, shall accrue at
a per  annum  rate of 0.25% for the  first 90 days of the  Registration  Default
Period,  at a per annum rate of 0.50% for the second 90 days of the Registration
Default  Period,  at a per  annum  rate of  0.75%  for the  third 90 days of the
Registration  Default Period and at a per annum rate of 1.0%  thereafter for the
remaining portion of the Registration Default Period.

      (d) The Company shall take all actions  necessary or advisable to be taken
by it to ensure that the  transactions  contemplated  herein are  effected as so
contemplated.

      (e) Any reference herein to a registration  statement as of any time shall
be deemed to include any document  incorporated,  or deemed to be  incorporated,

      warranties made pursuant to clause (A) above or those contained in Section
      5(a) hereof and the compliance  with or  satisfaction of any agreements or
      conditions  contained in the  underwriting  agreement  or other  agreement

      any  proposal  by the  Company  to amend or waive  any  provision  of this
      Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement pursuant to Section 9(h) hereof
      and of any amendment or waiver effected  pursuant  thereto,  each of which
      notices  shall  contain the text of the  amendment  or waiver  proposed or
      effected, as the case may be;

            (xix) in the  event  that any  broker-dealer  registered  under  the
      Exchange Act shall underwrite any Registrable Securities or participate as
      a member of an  underwriting  syndicate or selling group or "assist in the
      distribution"  (within  the  meaning of the  Conduct  Rules (the  "Conduct
      Rules) of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD") or
      any successor thereto, as amended from time to time) thereof, whether as a
      holder of such Registrable Securities or as an underwriter, a placement or
      sales agent or a broker or dealer in respect thereof, or otherwise, assist
      such  broker-dealer  in complying  with the  requirements  of such Conduct
      Rules, including by (A) if such Conduct Rules shall so require, engaging a
      "qualified independent  underwriter" (as defined in such Conduct Rules) to
      participate  in  the  preparation  of  the  Shelf  Registration  Statement
      relating to such  Registrable  Securities,  to exercise usual standards of
      due  diligence  in respect  thereto  and, if any  portion of the  offering
      contemplated  by

                                       15
<PAGE>

      such Shelf Registration  Statement is an underwritten  offering or is made
      through  a  placement  or sales  agent,  to  recommend  the  yield of such
      Registrable  Securities,  (B) indemnifying any such qualified  independent
      underwriter to the extent of the indemnification of underwriters  provided
      in  Section  6  hereof  (or  to  such  other  customary  extent  as may be
      reasonably  requested  by  such  underwriter),   and  (C)  providing  such
      information  to such  broker-dealer  as may be  required in order for such
      broker-dealer to comply with the requirements of the Conduct Rules; and

            (xx)  comply  with  all  applicable  rules  and  regulations  of the
      Commission, and make generally available to its securityholders as soon as

      of the Company and its  subsidiaries  complying  with Section 11(a) of the
      Securities  Act  (including,  at the  option  of  the  Company,  Rule  158
      thereunder).

      (e) In the event that the Company  would be required,  pursuant to Section
3(d)(viii)(F)  above,  to notify the Electing  Holders,  the  placement or sales
agent, if any,  therefor and the managing  underwriters,  if any,  thereof,  the
Company shall without delay prepare and furnish to each of the Electing Holders,
to each placement or sales agent, if any, and to each such underwriter,  if any,
a reasonable  number of copies of a prospectus  supplemented or amended so that,
as thereafter delivered to purchasers of Registrable Securities, such prospectus
shall conform in all material  respects to the  applicable  requirements  of the
Securities Act and the Trust  Indenture Act and the rules and regulations of the
Commission  thereunder  and shall not contain an untrue  statement of a material
fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary
to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then
existing.  Each Electing  Holder agrees that upon receipt of any notice from the
Company  pursuant to Section  3(d)(viii)(F)  hereof,  such Electing Holder shall
forthwith discontinue the disposition of Registrable  Securities pursuant to the
Shelf  Registration  Statement  applicable to such Registrable  Securities until
such Electing  Holder shall have received copies of such amended or supplemented
prospectus,  and if so directed  by the  Company,  such  Electing  Holder  shall
deliver  to the  Company  (at the  Company's  expense)  all  copies,  other than
permanent  file  copies,  then  in  such  Electing  Holder's  possession  of the
prospectus  covering such Registrable  Securities at the time of receipt of such
notice.

      (f) In the event of a Shelf  Registration,  in addition to the information
required to be provided by each Electing Holder in its Notice Questionnaire, the
Company  may  require  such  Electing  Holder to  furnish  to the  Company  such
additional information regarding such Electing Holder and such Electing Holder's
intended method of distribution of Registrable  Securities as may be required in
order to comply with the  Securities  Act. Each such  Electing  Holder agrees to
notify the Company as promptly as  practicable  of any  inaccuracy  or change in
information  previously  furnished by such Electing  Holder to the Company or of
the  occurrence of any event in either case as a result of which any  prospectus
relating  to such  Shelf  Registration  contains  or  would  contain  an  untrue
statement of a material fact  regarding  such  Electing  Holder or such

                                       16
<PAGE>

Electing Holder's intended method of disposition of such Registrable  Securities
or omits to state any  material  fact  regarding  such  Electing  Holder or such
Electing Holder's intended method of disposition of such Registrable  Securities
required to be stated  therein or necessary to make the  statements  therein not
misleading in light of the circumstances then existing,  and promptly to furnish
to the Company  any  additional  information  required to correct and update any
previously  furnished  information or required so that such prospectus shall not
contain,  with  respect  to such  Electing  Holder  or the  disposition  of such
Registrable Securities,  an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state
a  material  fact  required  to be  stated  therein  or  necessary  to make  the
statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing.

      (g) Until the  expiration of two years after the Closing Date, the Company
will not, and will not permit any of its  "affiliates"  (as defined in Rule 144)
to, resell any of the Securities that have been reacquired by any of them except
pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act.

      4. Registration Expenses.

for rating the Securities, and (k) fees, expenses and disbursements of any other

Registrable  Securities or any placement or sales agent  therefor or underwriter
thereof,  the  Company  shall  reimburse  such person for the full amount of the
Registration  Expenses so incurred,  assumed or paid promptly after receipt of a
request therefor.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the holders of the Registrable
Securities  being  registered  shall pay all  agency  fees and  commissions  and

and each of the holders from time to time of Registrable Securities that:

      (a) Each registration  statement covering Registrable  Securities and each

Securities  pursuant to Section  3(d)(viii)(F)  or Section  3(c)(iii)(F)  hereof
until  (ii)  such time as the  Company  furnishes  an  amended  or  supplemented
prospectus  pursuant  to Section  3(e) or  Section  3(c)(iv)  hereof,  each such
registration  statement,  and each prospectus (including any summary prospectus)
contained therein or furnished  pursuant to Section 3(d) or Section 3(c) hereof,

mortgage,  deed  of  trust,  loan  agreement  or  other  material  agreement  or
instrument  to which the Company or any  Subsidiary of the Company is a party or
by which the Company or any  Subsidiary  of the Company is bound or to which any

the Securities.

      (d)  This  Exchange  and  Registration  Rights  Agreement  has  been  duly
authorized, executed and delivered by the Company.

      6. Indemnification.

      (a)  Indemnification  by the Company.  The Company will indemnify and hold
harmless each of the holders of Registrable  Securities  included in an Exchange
Registration  Statement,  each of the Electing Holders of Registrable Securities
included in a Shelf Registration Statement and each person who participates as a
placement  or sales agent or as an  underwriter  in any offering or sale of such
Registrable Securities against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint
or several, to which such holder,  agent or underwriter may become subject under
the  Securities  Act or otherwise,  insofar as such losses,  claims,  damages or
liabilities  (or actions in respect  thereof)  arise out of

                                       19
<PAGE>

or are based upon an untrue  statement or alleged untrue statement of a material
fact  contained in any  Exchange  Registration  Statement or Shelf  Registration
Statement,  as the case may be,  under which such  Registrable  Securities  were
registered  under the  Securities  Act,  or any  preliminary,  final or  summary
prospectus  contained  therein or  furnished  by the Company to any such holder,
Electing Holder,  agent or underwriter,  or any amendment or supplement thereto,
or arise out of or are based  upon the  omission  or alleged  omission  to state
therein a material fact  required to be stated  therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse such holder, such Electing
Holder,  such  agent  and such  underwriter  for any  legal  or  other  expenses
reasonably  incurred by them in connection with  investigating  or defending any
such action or claim as such expenses are incurred;  provided, however, that the
Company  shall not be liable to any such  person in any such case to the  extent
that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an
untrue  statement or alleged  untrue  statement or omission or alleged  omission
made  in  such  registration  statement,   or  preliminary,   final  or  summary
prospectus,  or  amendment  or  supplement  thereto,  in  reliance  upon  and in
conformity  with  written  information  furnished  to the Company by such person
expressly for use therein.

      (b)  Indemnification  by the Holders and any Agents and Underwriters.  The
Company may require,  as a condition to including any Registrable  Securities in
any registration statement filed pursuant to Section 2(b) hereof and to entering
into any  underwriting  agreement with respect  thereto,  that the Company shall
have received an  undertaking  reasonably  satisfactory  to it from the Electing
Holder of such  Registrable  Securities and from each  underwriter  named in any
such  underwriting  agreement,  severally and not jointly,  to (i) indemnify and
hold  harmless the Company,  and all other  holders of  Registrable  Securities,
against any losses,  claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company or such
other holders of Registrable Securities may become subject, under the Securities
Act or otherwise,  insofar as such losses,  claims,  damages or liabilities  (or
actions in respect  thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue  statement
or alleged untrue  statement of a material fact  contained in such  registration
statement, or any preliminary,  final or summary prospectus contained therein or
furnished by the Company to any such Electing Holder,  agent or underwriter,  or
any  amendment  or  supplement  thereto,  or arise out of or are based  upon the
omission or alleged  omission to state  therein a material  fact  required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements  therein not  misleading,  in
each case to the extent,  but only to the extent,  that such untrue statement or
alleged  untrue  statement or omission or alleged  omission was made in reliance
upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such
Electing Holder or underwriter expressly for use therein, and (ii) reimburse the
Company for any legal or other  expenses  reasonably  incurred by the Company in
connection  with  investigating  or  defending  any such action or claim as such
expenses are incurred;  provided, however, that no such Electing Holder shall be
required to  undertake  liability  to any person under this Section 6(b) for any
amounts in excess of the dollar  amount of the  proceeds  to be received by such
Electing Holder from the sale of such Electing Holder's  Registrable  Securities
pursuant to such registration.

                                       20
<PAGE>

      (c) Notices of Claims, Etc. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party
under  subsection (a) or (b) above of written notice of the  commencement of any
action,  such  indemnified  party shall,  if a claim in respect thereof is to be
made against an indemnifying party pursuant to the indemnification provisions of
or contemplated by this Section 6, notify such indemnifying  party in writing of
the commencement of such action;  but the omission so to notify the indemnifying
party  shall  not  relieve  it  from  any  liability  which  it may  have to any
indemnified  party  otherwise  than under the  indemnification  provisions of or
contemplated  by Section 6(a) or 6(b)  hereof.  In case any such action shall be
brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify an indemnifying  party
of the  commencement  thereof,  such  indemnifying  party  shall be  entitled to
participate  therein  and, to the extent that it shall  wish,  jointly  with any
other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with
counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except
with the  consent of the  indemnified  party,  be  counsel  to the  indemnifying
party),  and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party
of its election so to assume the defense thereof,  such indemnifying party shall
not be liable to such indemnified  party for any legal expenses of other counsel
or any other expenses,  in each case  subsequently  incurred by such indemnified
party, in connection  with the defense  thereof other than  reasonable  costs of
investigation.  In no event shall an  indemnifying  party be liable for fees and
expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to local  counsel)  separate from
their own counsel for all indemnified  parties in connection with any one action
or separate but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction  arising out
of the same general  allegations or circumstances.  No indemnifying party shall,
without the written consent of the indemnified  party,  effect the settlement or
compromise  of, or consent to the entry of any  judgment  with  respect  to, any
pending or  threatened  action or claim in respect of which  indemnification  or
contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified party is an
actual or  potential  party to such  action or claim)  unless  such  settlement,
compromise or judgment (i) includes an unconditional  release of the indemnified
party from all  liability  arising out of such action or claim and (ii) does not
include a statement as to or an admission of fault,  culpability or a failure to
act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

      (d)  Contribution.  If  for  any  reason  the  indemnification  provisions
contemplated  by Section 6(a) or Section 6(b) are unavailable to or insufficient
to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses,  claims, damages
or liabilities (or actions in respect  thereof)  referred to therein,  then each
indemnifying  party  shall  contribute  to the  amount  paid or  payable by such
indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or
actions in respect  thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the
relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in connection
with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses,  claims, damages
or liabilities  (or actions in respect  thereof),  as well as any other relevant
equitable  considerations.  The relative  fault of such  indemnifying  party and
indemnified  party shall be  determined  by reference  to,  among other  things,
whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or
alleged  omission to state a material  fact relates to  information  supplied by
such indemnifying  party or by such indemnified party, and the parties' relative
intent,  knowledge,  access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent
such  statement or omission.  The parties hereto agree

                                       21
<PAGE>

that it would  not be just  and  equitable  if  contributions  pursuant  to this
Section 6(d) were determined by pro rata allocation  (even if the holders or any
agents  or  underwriters  or all of them were  treated  as one  entity  for such
purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the
equitable  considerations  referred to in this Section 6(d).  The amount paid or
payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses,  claims,  damages, or
liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above shall be deemed to
include  any  legal  or  other  fees or  expenses  reasonably  incurred  by such
indemnified party in connection with  investigating or defending any such action
or claim.  Notwithstanding  the provisions of this Section 6(d), no holder shall
be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the dollar
amount of the proceeds  received by such holder from the sale of any Registrable
Securities  (after  deducting  any fees,  discounts and  commissions  applicable
thereto)  exceeds the amount of any damages which such holder has otherwise been
required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission
or alleged  omission,  and no  underwriter  shall be required to contribute  any
amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Registrable
Securities  underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the
public  exceeds the amount of any damages which such  underwriter  has otherwise
been  required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged  untrue  statement  or
omission or alleged omission.  No person guilty of fraudulent  misrepresentation
(within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to
contribution   from  any  person   who  was  not   guilty  of  such   fraudulent
misrepresentation.  The  holders'  and  any  underwriters'  obligations  in this
Section  6(d) to  contribute  shall be several in  proportion  to the  principal
amount of Registrable Securities registered or underwritten, as the case may be,
by them and not joint.

      (e) The  obligations  of the  Company  under  this  Section  6 shall be in
addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have and shall extend,
upon the same terms and  conditions,  to each  officer,  director and partner of
each holder,  agent and  underwriter  and each person,  if any, who controls any
holder,  agent or underwriter  within the meaning of the Securities Act; and the
obligations of the holders and any agents or  underwriters  contemplated by this
Section 6 shall be in addition to any  liability  which the  respective  holder,
agent or underwriter  may otherwise  have and shall extend,  upon the same terms
and  conditions,  to each  officer and  director of the Company  (including  any
person who, with his consent, is named in any registration statement as about to
become a director of the Company)  and to each person,  if any, who controls the
Company within the meaning of the Securities Act.

      7. Underwritten Offerings.

      (a)  Selection  of  Underwriters.  If any of  the  Registrable  Securities
covered by the Shelf  Registration  are to be sold  pursuant to an  underwritten
offering,  the managing  underwriter or underwriters thereof shall be designated
by Electing Holders holding at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of
the Registrable  Securities to be included in such offering,  provided that such
designated managing underwriter or underwriters is or are reasonably  acceptable
to the Company.

                                       22
<PAGE>

      (b) Participation by Holders. Each holder of Registrable Securities hereby
agrees with each other such holder  that no such holder may  participate  in any
underwritten  offering  hereunder  unless  such  holder  (i) agrees to sell such
holder's  Registrable  Securities  on the  basis  provided  in any  underwriting
arrangements  approved  by  the  persons  entitled  hereunder  to  approve  such
arrangements  and (ii)  completes  and  executes all  questionnaires,  powers of
attorney,  indemnities,  underwriting  agreements and other documents reasonably
required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements.

      8. Rule 144.

      The Company covenants to the holders of Registrable Securities that to the
extent it shall be required to do so under the Exchange  Act, the Company  shall
timely file the reports required to be filed by it under the Exchange Act or the
Securities Act (including the reports under Section 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange
Act  referred to in  subparagraph  (c)(1) of Rule 144 adopted by the  Commission
under  the  Securities  Act)  and  the  rules  and  regulations  adopted  by the
Commission  thereunder,  and shall  take such  further  action as any  holder of
Registrable  Securities may reasonably request,  all to the extent required from
time to time to  enable  such  holder  to sell  Registrable  Securities  without
registration  under the Securities  Act within the  limitations of the exemption
provided by Rule 144 under the Securities  Act, as such Rule may be amended from
time to time, or any similar or successor rule or regulation  hereafter  adopted
by the Commission.  Upon the request of any holder of Registrable  Securities in
connection  with that  holder's  sale  pursuant to Rule 144,  the Company  shall
deliver to such holder a written  statement as to whether it has  complied  with
such requirements.

      9. Miscellaneous.

      (a)  No  Inconsistent  Agreements.   The  Company  represents,   warrants,
covenants and agrees that it has not granted, and shall not grant,  registration
rights with respect to  Registrable  Securities  or any other  securities  which
would be inconsistent with the terms contained in this Exchange and Registration
Rights Agreement.

      (b) Specific Performance.  The parties hereto acknowledge that there would
be no  adequate  remedy  at law if  the  Company  fails  to  perform  any of its
obligations  hereunder and that the Purchasers and the holders from time to time
of the Registrable Securities may be irreparably harmed by any such failure, and
accordingly agree that the Purchasers and such holders, in addition to any other
remedy to which they may be entitled  at law or in equity,  shall be entitled to
compel  specific  performance  of the  obligations  of the  Company  under  this
Exchange and  Registration  Rights  Agreement in  accordance  with the terms and
conditions of this Exchange and Registration  Rights Agreement,  in any court of

Reference is hereby made to the Exchange and Registration  Rights Agreement (the
"Exchange and Registration  Rights Agreement") between PSEG Energy Holdings Inc.
(the "Company") and the Purchasers  named therein.  Pursuant to the Exchange and
Registration  Rights  Agreement,  the Company  has filed with the United  States
Securities and Exchange  Commission (the "Commission") a registration  statement
on Form S-3 (the "Shelf Registration Statement") for the registration and resale
under Rule 415 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"),
of the  Company's  10% Senior Notes due 2009 (the  "Securities").  A copy of the
Exchange and Registration  Rights Agreement is attached hereto.  All capitalized
terms not otherwise  defined herein shall have the meanings  ascribed thereto in
the Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement.

Each beneficial  owner of Registrable  Securities (as defined below) is entitled
to have the  Registrable  Securities  beneficially  owned by it  included in the
Shelf Registration  Statement.  In order to have Registrable Securities included

Certain legal consequences arise from being named as a selling securityholder in
the Shelf Registration  Statement and related Prospectus.  Accordingly,  holders
and beneficial owners of Registrable Securities are advised to consult their own
securities law counsel  regarding the  consequences  of being named or not being
named as a  selling  securityholder  in the  Shelf  Registration  Statement  and
related Prospectus.

The term "Registrable  Securities" is defined in the Exchange and Registration
Rights Agreement.
