the express terms of a Security or by or pursuant to a Board Resolution, under
circumstances specified therein or pursuant thereto, to be paid by the Company

such Holders.

                  "Affiliate" of any specified Person means any other Person

common control with, such specified Person. For purposes of this definition,

costs and other items which do not constitute payments for property rights)
during the remaining term of the lease included in such Sale/Leaseback
Transaction (including any period for which such lease has been extended). In

penalty, such net amount shall be the lesser of the net amount determined
assuming termination upon the first date such lease may be terminated (in which

                  (20) any other terms of the series (which terms shall not be
         prohibited by the provisions of this Indenture).

                  All Securities of any one series shall be substantially
identical except as to denomination and except as may otherwise be provided in
or pursuant to the Board Resolution referred to above and (subject to Section
2.03) set forth, or determined in the manner provided, in the Officers'
Certificate or Company Order referred to above or in any such indenture
supplemental hereto.

                  If any of the terms of the series are established by action
taken pursuant to a Board Resolution, a copy of an appropriate record of such
action, together with such Board Resolution, shall be set forth in an Officers'
Certificate or 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 or Company Order setting forth the terms of the series.

SECTION 2.02      Denominations.

                  The Securities of each series shall be issuable in such
denominations as shall be specified as contemplated by Section 2.01. In the
absence of any such provisions with respect to the Securities of any series, the
Securities of such series denominated in Dollars shall be issuable in
denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiples thereof.

SECTION 2.03      Forms Generally.

                  The Securities of each series shall be in fully registered
form and in substantially such form or forms (including temporary or permanent
global form) established by or pursuant to a Board Resolution of the Company or
in one or more indentures supplemental hereto. The Securities may have
notations, legends or endorsements required by law, securities exchange rule,
the Company's certificate of incorporation, bylaws or other similar governing
documents, agreements to which the Company is subject, if any, or usage
(provided that any such notation, legend or endorsement is in a form acceptable
to the Company). A copy of the Board Resolution establishing the form or forms
of Securities of any series shall be delivered to the Trustee at or prior to the
delivery of the Company Order contemplated by Section 2.04 for the
authentication and delivery of such Securities.

                  The definitive Securities of each series shall be printed,
lithographed or engraved on steel engraved borders or may be produced in any
other manner, all as determined by the Officers executing such Securities, as
evidenced by their execution thereof.

                  The Trustee's certificate of authentication shall be in
substantially the following form:

                                       11
<PAGE>

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

                                           BANK ONE, N.A., as Trustee

                                           By:
                                              ----------------------------------
                                                  Authorized Officer".

SECTION 2.04      Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating.

                  Two Officers of the Company shall sign the Securities on
behalf of the Company and, with respect to the Guarantee of the Securities, an
Officer of the Guarantor shall sign the Securities on behalf of the Guarantor,
in each case by manual or facsimile signature. The Company's seal, if any, shall
be impressed, affixed, imprinted or reproduced on the Securities and may be in
facsimile form.

                  If an Officer of the Company or the Guarantor whose signature
is on a Security no longer holds that office at the time the Security is
authenticated, the Security shall be valid nevertheless.

                  A Security shall not be entitled to any benefit under this
Indenture or the related Guarantee or be valid or obligatory for any purpose
until authenticated by the manual signature of an authorized signatory of the
Trustee, which signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Security has been
authenticated under this Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any
Security has been authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and
sold by the Company, and the Company delivers such Security to the Trustee for
cancellation as provided in Section 2.13, together with a written statement
(which need not comply with Section 11.05 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 or the related Guarantee.

                  At any time and from time to time after the execution and
delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities of any series
executed by the Company and the Guarantor to the Trustee for authentication, and
the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver such Securities for original issue
upon a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such Securities or
pursuant to such procedures acceptable to the Trustee as may be specified from
time to time by Company Order. Such order shall specify the amount of the
Securities to be authenticated, the date on which the original issue of
Securities is to be authenticated, the name or names of the initial Holder or
Holders and any other terms of the Securities of such series not otherwise
determined. If provided for in such procedures, such Company Order may authorize
(1) authentication and delivery of Securities of such series for original issue
from time to time, with certain terms (including, without limitation, the
Maturity dates or dates, original issue date or dates and interest rate or
rates) that differ from Security to Security and (2) may authorize
authentication and delivery pursuant to oral or electronic instructions from the
Company or its duly authorized agent, which instructions shall be promptly
confirmed in writing.

<PAGE>
                  If the form or terms of the Securities of the series have been
established in or pursuant to one or more Board Resolutions as permitted by
Section 2.01, in authenticating such Securities, and accepting the additional
responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Securities, the
Trustee shall be entitled to receive (in addition to the Company Order referred
to above and the other documents required by Section 11.04), and (subject to
Section 7.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon:

                  (a) an Officers' Certificate setting forth the Board
         Resolution and, if applicable, an appropriate record of any action
         taken pursuant thereto, as contemplated by the last paragraph of
         Section 2.01; and

                  (b) an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that:

                           (i) the form of such Securities has been established
                  in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture;

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

                           (iii) that, when authenticated and delivered by the
                  Trustee and issued by the Company in the manner and subject to
                  any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, such
                  Securities and the related Guarantee will constitute valid and
                  binding obligations of the Company and the Guarantor,
                  respectively, enforceable against the Company and the
                  Guarantor, respectively, in accordance with their respective
                  terms, except as the enforceability thereof may be limited by
                  applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium,
                  fraudulent conveyance or other similar laws in effect from
                  time to time affecting the rights of creditors generally, and
                  the application of general principles of equity (regardless of
                  whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in
                  equity or at law).

                  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 and
Opinion of Counsel at the time of issuance of each such Security, but such
Officers' Certificate and Opinion of Counsel shall be delivered at or before the
time of issuance of the first Security of the series to be issued.

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

                  The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to
the Company to authenticate Securities. Unless limited by the terms of such
appointment, an authenticating agent may authenticate Securities whenever the
Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the
Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the
same rights as an Agent to deal with the Company, the Guarantor or an Affiliate
of the Company or the Guarantor.

                  Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication.

                                       13

SECTION 2.05      Registrar and Paying Agent.

                  The Company shall maintain an office or agency for each series
of Securities where Securities of such series may be presented for registration
of transfer or exchange ("Registrar") and an office or agency where Securities
of such series may be presented for payment ("Paying Agent"). The Registrar
shall keep a register of the Securities of such series and of their transfer and
exchange. The Company may appoint one or more co-registrars and one or more
additional paying agents. The term "Registrar" includes any co-registrar and the
term "Paying Agent" includes any additional paying agent.

                  The Company shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement
with any Registrar or Paying Agent not a party to this Indenture. The agreement
shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such Agent. The
Company shall notify the Trustee of the name and address of any Agent not a
party to this Indenture. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar
without notice to any Holder. If the Company fails to appoint or maintain
another entity as Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such. The
Company, the Guarantor or any Subsidiary may act as Paying Agent or Registrar.

                  The Company initially appoints the Trustee as Registrar and
Paying Agent.

SECTION 2.06      Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust.

                  The Company shall require each Paying Agent other than the
Trustee to agree in writing that the Paying Agent will hold in trust for the
benefit of Holders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the
payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on or any Additional
Amounts with respect to Securities and will notify the Trustee of any default by
the Company in making any such payment. While any such default continues, the
Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee
and to account for any funds disbursed. The Company at any time may require a
Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and to account for any
funds disbursed. Upon payment over to the Trustee and upon accounting for any
funds disbursed, the Paying Agent (if other than the Company, the Guarantor or a
Subsidiary) shall have no further liability for the money. If the Company, the
Guarantor or a Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate and hold in a
separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders all money held by it as
Paying Agent. Each Paying Agent shall otherwise comply with TIA Section 317(b).

SECTION 2.07      Holder Lists.

                  The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is
reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and
addresses of Holders and shall otherwise comply with TIA Section 312(a). If the
Trustee is not the Registrar with respect to a series of Securities, the Company
shall furnish to the Trustee at least five Business Days before each Interest
Payment Date with respect to such series of Securities, and at such other times
as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date
as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of Holders of
such series, and the Company shall otherwise comply with TIA Section 312(a).

                                       14
<PAGE>

SECTION 2.08      Transfer and Exchange.

                  Except as set forth in Section 2.17 or as may be provided
pursuant to Section 2.01:

                  When Securities of any series are presented to the Registrar
with the request to register the transfer of such Securities or to exchange such
Securities for an equal principal amount of Securities of the same series of
like tenor and of other authorized denominations, the Registrar shall register
the transfer or make the exchange as requested if its requirements and the
requirements of this Indenture for such transactions are met; provided, however,
that the Securities presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or
exchange shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instruction of
transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Registrar duly executed by the
Holder thereof or by his attorney, duly authorized in writing, on which
instruction the Registrar can rely.

                  To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the
Company and the Guarantor shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate
Securities at the Registrar's written request and submission of the Securities
or Global Securities. No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any
registration of transfer or exchange (except as otherwise expressly permitted
herein), but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith
(other than such transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable upon
exchanges pursuant to Section 2.12, 3.07 or 9.05). The Trustee shall
authenticate Securities in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.04.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture to the contrary, the
Company shall not be required to register the transfer or exchange of (a) any
Security selected for redemption in whole or in part pursuant to Article III,
except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part, or (b) any
Security during the period beginning 15 Business Days before the mailing of
notice of any offer to repurchase Securities of the series required pursuant to
the terms thereof or of redemption of Securities of a series to be redeemed and
ending at the close of business on the date of mailing.

SECTION 2.09      Replacement Securities.

                  If any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee, or if
the Holder of a Security claims that the Security has been destroyed, lost or
stolen and the Company and the Trustee receive evidence to their satisfaction of
the destruction, loss or theft of such Security, the Company shall issue, the
Guarantor shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement
Security of the same series if the Trustee's requirements are met. If any such
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security has become or is about to become
due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new
Security, pay such Security. If required by the Trustee, the Guarantor or the
Company, such Holder must furnish an indemnity bond that is sufficient in the
judgment of the Trustee, the Guarantor and the Company to protect the Company,
the Guarantor, the Trustee, any Agent or any authenticating agent from any loss
that any of them may suffer if a Security is replaced. The Company and the
Trustee may charge a Holder for their expenses in replacing a Security.

                  Every replacement Security is an additional obligation of the
Company.

                                       15
<PAGE>

SECTION 2.10      Outstanding Securities.

                  The Securities outstanding at any time are all the Securities
authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to
it for cancellation, those reductions in the interest in a Global Security
effected by the Trustee hereunder and those described in this Section 2.10 as
not outstanding.

                  If a Security is replaced pursuant to Section 2.09, it ceases
to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the
replaced Security is held by a bona fide purchaser.

                  If the principal amount of any Security is considered paid
under Section 4.01, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to
accrue.

                  A Security does not cease to be outstanding because the
Company, the Guarantor or an Affiliate of the Company or the Guarantor holds the
Security.

SECTION 2.11      Original Issue Discount, Foreign-Currency Denominated and
                  Treasury Securities.

                  In determining whether the Holders of the required principal
amount of Securities have concurred in any direction, amendment, supplement,
waiver or consent, (a) the principal amount of an Original Issue Discount
Security shall be the principal amount thereof that would be due and payable as
of the date of such determination upon acceleration of the Maturity thereof
pursuant to Section 6.02, (b) the principal amount of a Security denominated in
a foreign currency shall be the Dollar equivalent, as determined by the Company
by reference to the noon buying rate in The City of New York for cable transfers
for such currency, as such rate is certified for customs purposes by the Federal
Reserve Bank of New York (the "Exchange Rate") on the date of original issuance
of such Security, of the principal amount (or, in the case of an Original Issue
Discount Security, the Dollar equivalent, as determined by the Company by
reference to the Exchange Rate on the date of original issuance of such
Security, of the amount determined as provided in (a) above), of such Security
and (c) Securities owned by the Company, the Guarantor or any other obligor upon
the Securities or any Affiliate of the Company, of the Guarantor or of such
other obligor shall be disregarded, except that, for the purpose of determining
whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying upon any such direction,
amendment, supplement, waiver or consent, only Securities that the Trustee
actually knows are so owned shall be so disregarded.

SECTION 2.12      Temporary Securities.

                  Until definitive Securities of any series are ready for
delivery, the Company and the Guarantor may prepare and the Trustee shall
authenticate temporary Securities. Temporary Securities shall be substantially
in the form of definitive Securities, but may have variations that the Company
and the Guarantor consider appropriate for temporary Securities. Without
unreasonable delay, the Company and the Guarantor shall prepare and the Trustee
shall authenticate definitive Securities in exchange for temporary Securities.
Until so exchanged, the temporary Securities shall in all respects be entitled
to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities.

                                       16
<PAGE>

SECTION 2.13      Cancellation.

                  The Company or the Guarantor at any time may deliver
Securities to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and the Paying Agent
shall forward to the Trustee any Securities surrendered to them for registration
of transfer, exchange, payment or redemption or for credit against any sinking
fund payment. The Trustee shall cancel all Securities surrendered for
registration of transfer, exchange, payment, redemption, repayment, replacement
or cancellation or for credit against any sinking fund. Unless the Company shall
direct in writing that canceled Securities be returned to it, after written
notice to the Company all canceled Securities held by the Trustee shall be
disposed of in accordance with the usual disposal procedures of the Trustee, and
the Trustee shall maintain a record of their disposal. The Company may not issue
new Securities to replace Securities that have been paid or that have been
delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

SECTION 2.14      Payments; Defaulted Interest.

                  Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 2.01,
interest (except defaulted interest) on any Security that is payable, and is
punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid
to the Persons who are registered Holders of that Security at the close of
business on the record date next preceding such Interest Payment Date, even if
such Securities are canceled after such record date and on or before such
Interest Payment Date. The Holder must surrender a Security to a Paying Agent to
collect principal payments. Unless otherwise provided with respect to the
Securities of any series, the Company will pay the principal of, premium (if
any) and interest on and any Additional Amounts with respect to the Securities
in Dollars. Such amounts shall be payable at the offices of the Trustee,
provided that at the option of the Company, the Company may pay such amounts (1)
by wire transfer with respect to Global Securities or (2) by check payable in
such money mailed to a Holder's registered address with respect to any
Securities.

                  If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the
Securities, the Company or the Guarantor shall pay the defaulted interest in any
lawful manner plus, to the extent lawful, interest on the defaulted interest, in
each case at the rate provided in the Securities and in Section 4.01. The
Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, may pay the defaulted interest to
the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date. At least 15
days before any special record date selected by the Company or the Guarantor,
the Company or the Guarantor (or the Trustee, in the name of and at the expense
of the Company or the Guarantor upon 20 days' prior written notice from the
Company or the Guarantor setting forth such record date and the interest amount
to be paid) shall mail to Holders a notice that states the special record date,
the related payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid.

SECTION 2.15      Persons Deemed Owners.

                  The Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee, any Agent and any
authenticating agent may treat the Person in whose name any Security is
registered as the owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payments
of principal of, premium (if any) or interest on, or any Additional Amounts with
respect to such Security and for all other purposes. None of the

                                       17
<PAGE>
Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee, any Agent or any authenticating agent shall
be affected by any notice to the contrary.

SECTION 2.16      Computation of Interest.

                  Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.01
for Securities of any series: Interest on the Securities of each series shall be
computed on the basis of a year comprising twelve 30-day months. All interest
payments to be made under this Indenture or on any Security will be paid without
allowance or deduction for deemed re-investment or otherwise, both before and
after maturity and before and after default and/or judgment, if any, until
payment of the amount on which such interest is accruing, and, to the extent
permitted by applicable law, interest will accrue on overdue interest. For the
purposes of the Interest Act (Canada), if in this Indenture or in any Security a
rate of interest is or is to be calculated on the basis of a period which is
less than a full calendar year, the yearly rate of interest to which such rate
is equivalent shall be such rate multiplied by the actual number of days in the
calendar year for which such calculation is made and divided by the number of
days in such period. The rates of interest set forth in this Indenture or in any
Security will be calculated using the nominal rate method of calculation and
will not be calculated using the effective rate method of calculation or on any
other basis that gives effect to the principle of deemed re-investment of
interest. In calculating interest or fees payable under this Indenture or on or
with respect to a Security for any period, unless otherwise provided, the first
day of such period shall be included and the last day of such period shall be
excluded.

SECTION 2.17      Global Securities; Book-Entry Provisions.

                  If Securities of a series are issuable in global form as a
Global Security, as contemplated by Section 2.01, then, notwithstanding clause
(10) of Section 2.01 and the provisions of Section 2.02, any such Global
Security shall represent such of the outstanding Securities of such series as
shall be specified therein and may provide that it shall represent the aggregate
amount of outstanding Securities from time to time endorsed thereon and that the
aggregate amount of outstanding Securities represented thereby may from time to
time be reduced or increased, as appropriate, to reflect exchanges or
redemptions. Any endorsement of a Global Security to reflect the amount, or any
increase or decrease in the amount, of outstanding Securities represented
thereby shall be made by the Trustee (i) in such manner and upon instructions
given by such Person or Persons as shall be specified in such Security or in a
Company Order to be delivered to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.04 or (ii)
otherwise in accordance with written instructions or such other written form of
instructions as is customary for the Depositary for such Security, from such
Depositary or its nominee on behalf of any Person having a beneficial interest
in such Global Security. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.04 and, if
applicable, Section 2.12, 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 in such Security or in the applicable Company Order. With
respect to the Securities of any series that are represented by a Global
Security, the Company and the Guarantor authorize the execution and delivery by
the Trustee of a letter of representations or other similar agreement or
instrument in the form customarily provided for by the Depositary appointed with
respect to such Global Security. Any Global Security may be deposited with the
Depositary or its nominee, or may remain in the custody of the Trustee or the
Security Custodian therefor pursuant

                                       18
<PAGE>
to a FAST Balance Certificate Agreement or similar agreement between the Trustee
and the Depositary. If a Company Order has been, or simultaneously is,
delivered, any instructions by the Company with respect to endorsement or
delivery or redelivery of a Security in global form shall be in writing but need
not comply with Section 11.05 and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of
Counsel.

                  Members of, or participants in, the Depositary ("Agent
Members") shall have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global
Security held on their behalf by the Depositary, or the Trustee or the Security
Custodian as its custodian, or under such Global Security and the Depositary may
be treated by the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee or the Security Custodian
and any agent of the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee or the Security
Custodian as the absolute owner of such Global Security for all purposes
whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the registered holder of a Global
Security may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including Agent
Members and Persons that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any
action that a Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Securities
and (ii) nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee or
the Security Custodian, or any agent of the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee
or the Security Custodian, from giving effect to any written certification,
proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or shall impair, as
between the Depositary and its Agent Members, the operation of customary
practices governing the exercise of the rights of a beneficial owner of any
Security.

                  Notwithstanding Section 2.08, and except as otherwise provided
pursuant to Section 2.01: Transfers of a Global Security shall be limited to
transfers of such Global Security in whole, but not in part, to the Depositary,
its successors or their respective nominees. Interests of beneficial owners in a
Global Security may be transferred in accordance with the rules and procedures
of the Depositary. Securities shall be transferred to all beneficial owners in
exchange for their beneficial interests in a Global Security if, and only if,
either (1) the Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to
continue as Depositary for the Global Security and a successor Depositary is not
appointed by the Company within 90 days of such notice, (2) an Event of Default
has occurred with respect to such series and is continuing and the Registrar has
received a request from the Depositary to issue Securities in lieu of all or a
portion of the Global Security (in which case the Company shall deliver
Securities within 30 days of such request) or (3) the Company determines not to
have the Securities represented by a Global Security.

                  In connection with any transfer of a portion of the beneficial
interest in a Global Security to beneficial owners pursuant to this Section
2.17, the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and a
decrease in the principal amount of the Global Security in an amount equal to
the principal amount of the beneficial interest in the Global Security to be
transferred, and the Company and the Guarantor shall execute, and the Trustee
upon receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of
Securities shall authenticate and deliver, one or more Securities of the same
series of like tenor and amount.

                  In connection with the transfer of all the beneficial interest
in a Global Security to beneficial owners pursuant to this Section 2.17, the
Global Security shall be deemed to be surrendered to the Trustee for
cancellation, and the Company and the Guarantor shall execute, and the Trustee
shall authenticate and deliver, to each beneficial owner identified by the

                                       19

Depositary in exchange for its beneficial interest in the Global Security, an
equal aggregate principal amount of Securities of authorized denominations.

                  Neither the Company, the Guarantor nor the Trustee will have
any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to, or
payments made on account of, Securities by the Depositary, or for maintaining,
supervising or reviewing any records of the Depositary relating to such
Securities. Neither the Company, the Guarantor nor the Trustee shall be liable
for any delay by the related Global Security Holder or the Depositary in
identifying the beneficial owners, and each such Person may conclusively rely
on, and shall be protected in relying on, instructions from such Global Security
Holder or the Depositary for all purposes (including with respect to the
registration and delivery, and the respective principal amounts, of the
Securities to be issued).

                  The provisions of the last sentence of the third paragraph of
Section 2.04 shall apply to any Global Security if such Global Security was
never issued and sold by the Company and the Company or the Guarantor delivers
to the Trustee the Global Security together with written instructions (which
need not comply with Section 11.05 and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of
Counsel) with regard to the cancellation or reduction in the principal amount of
Securities represented thereby, together with the written statement contemplated
by the last sentence of the third paragraph of Section 2.04.

                  Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 2.03 and 2.14,
unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.01, payment of principal
of, premium (if any) and interest on and any Additional Amounts with respect to
any Global Security shall be made to the Person or Persons specified therein.

                                   REDEMPTION

SECTION 3.01      Applicability of Article.

                  Securities of any series that are redeemable before their
Stated Maturity shall be redeemable and repayable in accordance with their terms
and (except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.01 for
Securities of any series) in accordance with this Article III.

SECTION 3.02      Notice to the Trustee.

                  If the Company elects to redeem and repay Securities of any
series pursuant to this Indenture, it shall notify the Trustee of the Redemption
Date and the principal amount of Securities of such series to be redeemed and
repaid. The Company shall so notify the Trustee at least 45 days before the
Redemption Date (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee)
by delivering to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate stating that such
redemption will comply with the provisions of this Indenture and of the
Securities of such series. Any such notice may be canceled at any time prior to
the mailing of such notice of such redemption to any Holder and shall thereupon
be void and of no effect.

SECTION 3.03      Selection of Securities To Be Redeemed.

                  If less than all the Securities of any series 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 not previously called for redemption, either pro rata,
by lot or by such other method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate
and that may provide for the selection for redemption of portions (equal to the
minimum authorized denomination for Securities of that series or any integral
multiple thereof) of the principal amount of Securities of such series of a
denomination larger than the minimum authorized denomination for Securities of
that series or of the principal amount of Global Securities of such series.

                  The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company and the
Registrar 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 purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise
requires, all provisions relating to redemption of Securities shall relate, in
the case of any of the Securities redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to
the portion of the principal amount thereof which has been or is to be redeemed.

SECTION 3.04      Notice of Redemption.

                  Notice of redemption shall be given by first-class mail,
postage prepaid, mailed not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the
Redemption Date, to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed and repaid, at the
address of such Holder appearing in the register of Securities maintained by the
Registrar.

                  All notices of redemption shall identify the Securities to be
redeemed and repaid and shall state:

                  (1) the Redemption Date;

                  (2) the Redemption Price;

                  (3) that, unless the Company and the Guarantor default in
         making the redemption payment, interest on Securities called for
         redemption ceases to accrue on and after the Redemption Date, and the
         only remaining right of the Holders of such Securities is to receive
         payment of the Redemption Price upon surrender to the Paying Agent of
         the Securities redeemed;

                  (4) if any Security is to be redeemed in part, the portion of
         the principal amount thereof to be redeemed and that on and after the
         Redemption Date, upon surrender for cancellation of such Security to
         the Paying Agent, a new Security or Securities in the aggregate
         principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued
         without charge to the Holder;

                                       21
<PAGE>

                  (5) that Securities called for redemption must be surrendered
         to the Paying Agent to collect the Redemption Price and the name and
         address of the Paying Agent;

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

                  (7) the CUSIP number, if any, relating to such Securities.

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

SECTION 3.05      Effect of Notice of Redemption.

                  Once notice of redemption is mailed, Securities called for
redemption become due and payable on the Redemption Date and at the Redemption
Price. Upon surrender to the Paying Agent, such Securities called for redemption
shall be paid at the Redemption Price, but interest installments whose maturity
is on or prior to such Redemption Date will be payable on the relevant Interest
Payment Dates to the Holders of record at the close of business on the relevant
record dates specified pursuant to Section 2.01.

SECTION 3.06      Deposit of Redemption Price.

                  On or prior to any Redemption Date, the Company or the
Guarantor shall deposit with the Trustee or the Paying Agent (or, if the Company
or the Guarantor is acting as the Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as
provided in Section 2.06) an amount of money in same day funds sufficient to pay
the Redemption Price of, and (except if the Redemption Date shall be an Interest
Payment Date) accrued interest on and any Additional Amounts with respect to,
the Securities or portions thereof which are to be redeemed on that date, other
than Securities or portions thereof called for redemption on that date which
have been delivered by the Company or the Guarantor to the Trustee for
cancellation.

                  If the Company or the Guarantor complies with the preceding
paragraph, then, unless the Company and the Guarantor default in the payment of
such Redemption Price, interest on the Securities to be redeemed will cease to
accrue on and after the applicable Redemption Date, whether or not such
Securities are presented for payment, and the Holders of such Securities shall
have no further rights with respect to such Securities except for the right to
receive the Redemption Price upon surrender of such Securities. If any Security
called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for
redemption, the principal, premium, if any, any Additional Amounts, and, to the
extent lawful, accrued interest thereon shall, until paid, bear interest from
the Redemption Date at the rate specified pursuant to Section 2.01 or provided
in the Securities or, in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities, such
Securities' yield to maturity.

SECTION 3.07      Securities Redeemed or Purchased in Part.

                  Upon surrender to the Paying Agent of a Security to be
redeemed or repaid in part, the Company and the Guarantor shall execute and the
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver

                                       22
<PAGE>
to the Holder of such Security without service charge a new Security or
Securities, of the same series and 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 that is not
redeemed.

SECTION 3.08      Purchase of Securities.

                  Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.01,
the Company, the Guarantor and any Affiliate of the Company or the Guarantor
may, subject to applicable law, at any time purchase or otherwise acquire
Securities in the open market or by private agreement. Such acquisition shall
not operate as or be deemed for any purpose to be a redemption of the
indebtedness represented by such Securities. Any Securities purchased or
acquired by the Company or the Guarantor may be delivered to the Trustee and,
upon such delivery, the indebtedness represented thereby shall be deemed to be
satisfied. Section 2.13 shall apply to all Securities so delivered.

SECTION 3.09      Mandatory and Optional Sinking Funds.

                  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 Securities of any series is herein referred to as an
"optional sinking fund payment." Unless otherwise provided by the terms of
Securities of any series, the cash amount of any sinking fund payment may be
subject to reduction as provided in Section 3.10. 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 and by this Article III.

SECTION 3.10      Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments with Securities.

                  The Company or the Guarantor may deliver outstanding
Securities of a series (other than any previously called for redemption) and may
apply as a credit Securities of a series that 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 to the terms of
such Securities, in each case in satisfaction of all or any part of any sinking
fund payment with respect to the Securities of such series required to be made
pursuant to the terms of such series of Securities; provided that such
Securities have not been previously so credited. Such Securities shall be
received and credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the Redemption Price
specified in such Securities for redemption through operation of the sinking
fund and the amount of such sinking fund payment shall be reduced accordingly.

SECTION 3.11      Redemption of Securities for Sinking Fund.

                  Not less than 45 days prior (unless a shorter period shall be
satisfactory to the Trustee) to each sinking fund payment date for any series of
Securities, the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate
specifying the amount of the next ensuing 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 and the portion thereof, if any, which is to be
satisfied by delivery of or by crediting Securities of that series pursuant to
Section 3.10 and will also deliver

                                       23
<PAGE>
or cause to be delivered to the Trustee any Securities to be so delivered.
Failure of the Company to timely deliver or cause to be delivered such Officers'
Certificate and Securities specified in this paragraph, if any, shall not
constitute a default but shall constitute the election of the Company (i) that
the mandatory sinking fund payment for such series due on the next succeeding
sinking fund payment date shall be paid entirely in cash without the option to
deliver or credit Securities of such series in respect thereof and (ii) that the
Company will make no optional sinking fund payment with respect to such series
as provided in this Section.

                  If the sinking fund payment or payments (mandatory or optional
or both) to be made in cash on the next succeeding sinking fund payment date
plus any unused balance of any preceding sinking fund payments made in cash
shall exceed $100,000 (or the Dollar equivalent thereof based on the applicable
Exchange Rate on the date of original issue of the applicable Securities) or a
lesser sum if the Company shall so request with respect to the Securities of any
particular series, such cash shall be applied on the next succeeding sinking
fund payment date to the redemption of Securities of such series at the sinking
fund redemption price together with accrued interest to the date fixed for
redemption. If such amount shall be $100,000 (or the Dollar equivalent thereof
as aforesaid) or less and the Company makes no such request then it shall be
carried over until a sum in excess of $100,000 (or the Dollar equivalent thereof
as aforesaid) is available. 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 3.03 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 3.04. Such notice having been
duly given, the redemption of such Securities shall be made upon the terms and
in the manner stated in Sections 3.05, 3.06 and 3.07.

                                   ARTICLE IV
                                    COVENANTS

SECTION 4.01      Payment of Securities.

                  The Company shall pay the principal of, premium (if any) and
interest on and any Additional Amounts with respect to the Securities of each
series on the dates and in the manner provided in the Securities of such series
and in this Indenture. Principal, premium, interest and any Additional Amounts
shall be considered paid on the date due if the Paying Agent (other than the
Company, the Guarantor or a Subsidiary) holds on that date money deposited by
the Company designated for and sufficient to pay all principal, premium (if
any), interest and any Additional Amounts then due.

                  The Company shall pay interest (including post-petition
interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal and
premium (if any), at a rate equal to the then applicable interest rate on the
Securities to the extent lawful; and it shall pay interest (including
post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue
installments of interest and any Additional Amount (without regard to any
applicable grace period) at the same rate to the extent lawful.

SECTION 4.02      Maintenance of Office or Agency.

                  The Company will maintain in each Place of Payment for any
series of Securities an office or agency (which may be an office of the Trustee,
the Registrar or the Paying Agent) where Securities of that series may be
presented for registration of transfer or exchange, where Securities of that
series may be presented for payment and where notices and demands to or upon the
Company or the Guarantor in respect of the Securities of that series and this
Indenture may be served. Unless otherwise designated by the Company by written
notice to the Trustee and the Guarantor, such office or agency shall be the
office of the Trustee in The City of New York, which on the date hereof is
located at Bank One, N.A., 14 Wall Street, 8th Floor, New York, New York 10005.
The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee and the Guarantor of
the location, and any change in the location, of 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 and the Guarantor with the address thereof,
such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the
Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee.

                  The Company may also from time to time designate one or more
other offices or agencies where the Securities of one or more series may be
presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time
rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or
rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain
an office or agency in each Place of Payment for Securities of any series for
such purposes. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any
such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such
other office or agency.

SECTION 4.03      SEC Reports; Financial Statements.

                  (a) Each of the Company and the Guarantor shall file with the
Trustee, within 15 days after it files the same with the SEC, copies of the
annual reports and the information, documents and other reports (or copies of
such portions of any of the foregoing as the SEC may by rules and regulations
prescribe) that the Company or the Guarantor is required to file with the SEC
pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. The Company and the
Guarantor shall also comply with the provisions of TIA Section 314(a).

                  (b) If the Company or the Guarantor is not subject to the
requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company and the
Guarantor shall furnish to all Holders of Rule 144A Securities and prospective
purchasers of Rule 144A Securities designated by the Holders of Rule 144A
Securities, promptly upon their request, the information required to be
delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) promulgated under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended.

SECTION 4.04      Compliance Certificate.

                  (a) Each of the Company and the Guarantor shall deliver to the
Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, a statement signed
by an Officer of the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, which need
not constitute an Officers' Certificate, complying with TIA Section 314(a)(4)
and stating that in the course of performance by the signing Officer of his
duties as such Officer of the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may

                                       25
<PAGE>
be, he would normally obtain knowledge of the keeping, observing, performing and
fulfilling by the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, of its
obligations under this Indenture, and further stating that to the best of his
knowledge the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, has kept, observed,
performed and fulfilled each and every covenant contained in this Indenture and
is not in default in the performance or observance of any of the terms,
provisions and conditions hereof (or, if a Default or Event of Default shall
have occurred, describing all such Defaults or Events of Default of which such
Officer may have knowledge and what action the Company or the Guarantor, as the
case may be, is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto).

                  (b) The Company or the Guarantor shall, so long as Securities
of any series are outstanding, deliver to the Trustee, forthwith upon any
Officer of the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, becoming aware of
any Default or Event of Default under this Indenture, an Officers' Certificate
specifying such Default or Event of Default and what action the Company or the
Guarantor, as the case may be, is taking or proposes to take with respect
thereto.

SECTION 4.05      Corporate Existence.

                  Subject to Article V, the Guarantor shall do or cause to be
done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its
corporate existence and the corporate existence of each of its Subsidiaries
(including the Company) and all rights (charter and statutory) and franchises of
the Guarantor and its Subsidiaries, provided that the Guarantor shall not be
required to preserve the corporate existence of any Subsidiary or any such right
or franchise if the Guarantor shall determine that the preservation thereof is
no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Guarantor and its
Subsidiaries taken as a whole and that the loss thereof would not have a
material adverse effect on the business, prospects, assets or financial
condition of the Guarantor and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole and would not
have any material adverse effect on the payment and performance of the
obligations of the Guarantor under the Securities and this Indenture.

SECTION 4.06      Waiver of Stay, Extension or Usury Laws.

                  Each of the Company and the Guarantor 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 or any usury law or other law that would prohibit or forgive it
from paying all or any portion of the principal of or interest on the Securities
as contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force,
or which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and (to
the extent that it may lawfully do so) each of the Company and the Guarantor
hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants
that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein
granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such
power as though no such law had been enacted.

                                       26
<PAGE>
SECTION 4.07      Additional Amounts.

                  If the Securities of a series expressly provide for the
payment of Additional Amounts, the Company will pay to the Holder of any
Security of such series Additional Amounts as expressly provided therein.
Whenever in this Indenture there is mentioned, in any context, the payment of
the principal of or any premium or interest on, or in respect of, any Security
of any series or the net proceeds received from 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 for in this Section 4.07 to the extent
that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in
respect thereof pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4.07 and express
mention of the payment of Additional Amounts (if applicable) in any provisions
hereof shall not be construed as excluding Additional Amounts in those
provisions hereof where such express mention is not made.

SECTION 4.08      Limitation on Liens.

                  The Guarantor shall not, and shall not permit any Principal
Domestic Subsidiary to, issue, assume or guarantee any Debt for borrowed money
secured by any Lien upon any Principal Property or any shares of stock or Debt
of any Principal Domestic Subsidiary (whether such Principal Property, shares of
stock or Debt is now owned or hereafter acquired) without making effective
provision whereby the Securities (together with, if the Guarantor shall so
determine, any other Debt or other obligation of the Guarantor or any
Subsidiary) shall be secured equally and ratably with (or, at the option of the
Guarantor, prior to) the Debt so secured for so long as such Debt is so secured.
The foregoing restrictions will not, however, apply to Debt secured by Permitted
Liens.

                  In addition, the Guarantor and its Principal Domestic
Subsidiaries may, without securing the Securities, issue, assume or guarantee
Debt that would otherwise be subject to the foregoing restrictions in an
aggregate principal amount that, together with all other such Debt of the
Guarantor and its Principal Domestic Subsidiaries that would otherwise be
subject to the foregoing restrictions (not including Debt permitted to be
secured under the definition of Permitted Liens) and the aggregate amount of
Attributable Debt deemed outstanding with respect to Sale/Leaseback Transactions
(reduced by the amount applied pursuant to Section 4.09(b)) does not at any one
time exceed 10% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets.

                  The following types of transactions shall not be deemed to
create "Debt" secured by "Liens" within the meaning of those terms as used in
this Indenture:

                  (a) the sale or other transfer of (i) oil, gas or other
         minerals in place for a period of time until, or in an amount such
         that, the purchaser will realize therefrom a specified amount of money
         (however determined) or a specified amount of such minerals, or (ii)
         any other interest in property of the character commonly referred to as
         a "production payment"; and

                  (b) the mortgage or pledge of any property of the Guarantor or
         any Subsidiary in favor of the United States of America, or any State,
         or any department, agency,

                                       27
<PAGE>
         instrumentality or political subdivision of either, to secure partial,
         progress, advance or other payments pursuant to the provisions of any
         contract or statute.

SECTION 4.09      Limitation on Sale/Leaseback Transactions.

                  The Guarantor shall not, and shall not permit any Principal
Domestic Subsidiary to, enter into any Sale/Leaseback Transaction with any
Person (other than the Guarantor or a Subsidiary) unless:

                  (a) the Guarantor or such Principal Domestic Subsidiary would
         be entitled to incur Debt in a principal amount equal to the
         Attributable Debt with respect to such Sale/Leaseback Transaction
         secured by a Lien on the property subject to such Sale/Leaseback
         Transaction pursuant to Section 4.08 without equally and ratably
         securing the Securities pursuant to such covenant; or

                  (b) within a period commencing six months prior to the
         consummation of such Sale/Leaseback Transaction and ending six months
         after the consummation thereof, the Guarantor or any Subsidiary shall
         have applied an amount equal to all or a portion of the net proceeds of
         such Sale/Leaseback Transaction (with any such amount not being so
         applied to be subject to Section 4.09(a)):

                           (1) to the voluntary defeasance or retirement of any
                  Securities or any Funded Debt; or

                           (2) to the acquisition, exploration, drilling,
                  development, construction, improvement or expansion of one or
                  more Principal Properties.

                  For these purposes, the net proceeds of a Sale/Leaseback
Transaction means an amount equal to the greater of (i) the net proceeds of the
sale or transfer of the property leased in such Sale/Leaseback Transaction and
(ii) the fair value, as determined by the Board of Directors of the Guarantor
and evidenced by a Board Resolution, of such property at the time of entering
into such Sale/Leaseback Transaction (in either case adjusted to reflect the
remaining term of the lease).

                                   SUCCESSORS

SECTION 5.01      Limitations on Mergers and Consolidations of the Guarantor.

                  The Guarantor shall not, in any transaction or series of
transactions, consolidate with or merge into any Person, or sell, lease, convey,
transfer or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets to any
Person, unless:

                  (1) either (a) the Guarantor shall be the continuing
         corporation or (b) the Person (if other than the Guarantor) formed by
         such consolidation or into which the Guarantor is merged, or to which
         such sale, lease, conveyance, transfer or other disposition shall be
         made (collectively, the "Successor"), is organized and validly existing
         under the laws of the United States, any political subdivision thereof
         or any State

                                       28

         thereof or the District of Columbia, and expressly assumes by
         supplemental indenture the performance of the Guarantee and the
         Guarantor's covenants and obligations under this Indenture and the
         Securities;

                  (2) immediately after giving effect to such transaction or
         series of transactions, no Default or Event of Default shall have
         occurred and be continuing or would result therefrom; and

                  (3) the Guarantor delivers to the Trustee an Officers'
         Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that the
         transaction and such supplemental indenture comply with this Indenture.

SECTION 5.02      Successor Person Substituted.

                  Upon any consolidation or merger of the Guarantor or any sale,
lease, conveyance, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of
the assets of the Guarantor in accordance with Section 5.01, the Successor
formed by such consolidation or into or with which the Guarantor is merged or to
which such sale, lease, conveyance, transfer or other disposition is made shall
succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of
the Guarantor under this Indenture and the Securities with the same effect as if
such Successor had been named as the Guarantor herein and the predecessor
Guarantor, in the case of a sale, conveyance, transfer or other disposition,
shall be released from all obligations under this Indenture and the Securities.

SECTION 5.03      Assignment by and Substitution of the Company.

                  The rights and obligations of the Company under this Indenture
and the Securities may be assigned or transferred (i) to another Person with
which the Company is amalgamated, consolidated or merged or which acquires by
conveyance or transfer any of the properties or assets of the Company; (ii) to
the Guarantor or (iii) to another Subsidiary. Provided that the requirements of
this Section 5.03 for such assignment or transfer shall have been met, upon any
such assignment or transfer, all of the obligations of the Company under this
Indenture and the Securities shall cease and the Company shall be released from
all obligations under this Indenture and the Securities. In the case of any
assignment other than to the Guarantor, the covenants of the Guarantor set forth
in this Indenture shall remain in full force and effect or the Guarantor shall
execute a new guarantee agreement containing provisions substantially the same
as such covenants. Any successor to the Company shall expressly assume by
supplemental indenture the due and punctual payment of the principal of (and
premium, if any) and interest on and Additional Amounts with respect to all the
Securities and the performance of the Company's covenants and obligations under
this Indenture and the Securities. In addition, in the event the Company assigns
all of its rights and obligations in respect of this Indenture and the
Securities to the Guarantor, the provisions of Article X shall no longer apply
to the Securities, but the other covenants of the Guarantor set forth in this
Indenture and any other covenants of the Guarantor provided with respect to any
series of Securities shall remain in full force and effect.

                              DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

SECTION 6.01      Events of Default.

                  Unless either inapplicable to a particular series or
specifically deleted or modified in or pursuant to the supplemental indenture or
Board Resolution establishing such series of Securities or in the form of
Security for such series, an "Event of Default," wherever used herein with
respect to Securities of any series, occurs if:

                           (1) there is a default in the payment of interest on
         or any Additional Amounts with respect to any Security of that series
         when the same becomes due and payable and such default continues for a
         period of 30 days;

                           (2) there is a default in the payment of (A) the
         principal of any Security of that series at its Maturity or (B) premium
         (if any) on any Security of that series when the same becomes due and
         payable;

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

                           (4) the Company or the Guarantor fail to comply with
         any of their respective other covenants or agreements in, or provisions
         of, the Securities of such series or this Indenture (other than an
         agreement, covenant or provision that has expressly been included in
         this Indenture solely for the benefit of one or more series of
         Securities other than that series) which shall not have been remedied
         within the specified period after written notice, as specified in the
         last paragraph of this Section 6.01;

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

                           (A) commences a voluntary case or other proceeding to
                  be adjudicated bankrupt or insolvent,

                           (B) consents to the entry of an order for relief
                  against it in an involuntary case or to the institution of
                  bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings against it,

                           (C) consents to the appointment of a Bankruptcy
                  Custodian of it or for all or substantially all of its
                  property, or

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

                           (6) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order
         or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that remains unstayed and in effect
         for 90 days and that:

                                       30
<PAGE>

                           (A) is for relief against the Company or the
                  Guarantor as debtor in an involuntary case or adjudicates the
                  Company or the Guarantor bankrupt or insolvent,

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

                           (C) orders the liquidation of the Company or the
                  Guarantor; or

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

                  The term "Bankruptcy Custodian" means any receiver, trustee,
assignee, liquidator or similar official under any Bankruptcy Law.

                  The Trustee shall not be deemed to know or have notice of a
Default unless a Trust Officer at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee
receives written notice at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee of such
Default with specific reference to such Default.

                  When a Default is cured, it ceases.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.01,
if the principal of, premium (if any) or interest on or Additional Amounts with
respect to any Security is payable in a currency or currencies (including a
composite currency) other than Dollars and such currency or currencies are not
available to the Company or the Guarantor for making payment thereof due to the
imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the control of the
Company or the Guarantor (a "Conversion Event"), each of the Company and the
Guarantor will be entitled to satisfy its obligations to Holders of the
Securities by making such payment in Dollars in an amount equal to the Dollar
equivalent of the amount payable in such other currency, as determined by the
Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, by reference to the Exchange Rate
on the date of such payment, or, if such rate is not then available, on the
basis of the most recently available Exchange Rate. Notwithstanding the
foregoing provisions of this Section 6.01, any payment made under such
circumstances in Dollars where the required payment is in a currency other than
Dollars will not constitute an Event of Default under this Indenture.

                  Promptly after the occurrence of a Conversion Event, the
Company and the Guarantor shall give written notice thereof to the Trustee; and
the Trustee, promptly after receipt of such notice, shall give notice thereof in
the manner provided in Section 11.02 to the Holders. Promptly after the making
of any payment in Dollars as a result of a Conversion Event, the Company or the
Guarantor, as the case may be, shall give notice in the manner provided in
Section 11.02 to the Holders, setting forth the applicable Exchange Rate and
describing the calculation of such payments.

                  A Default under clause (4) or (7) of this Section 6.01 is not
an Event of Default until the Trustee notifies the Company and the Guarantor, or
the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding
Securities of the series affected by such Default (or, in

                                       31
<PAGE>
the case of a Default under clause (4) of this Section 6.01, if outstanding
Securities of other series are affected by such Default, then at least 25% in
principal amount of the then outstanding Securities so affected) notify the
Company, the Guarantor and the Trustee, of the Default, and the Company or the
Guarantor, as the case may be, fails to cure the Default within 90 days after
receipt of the notice. The notice must specify the Default, demand that it be
remedied and state that the notice is a "Notice of Default."

SECTION 6.02      Acceleration.

                  If an Event of Default with respect to any Securities of any
series at the time outstanding (other than an Event of Default specified in
clause (5) or (6) of Section 6.01) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee by
notice to the Company and the Guarantor, or the Holders of at least 25% in
principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of the series affected by
such default (or, in the case of an Event of Default described in clause (4) of
Section 6.01, if outstanding Securities of other series are affected by such
Default, then at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding
Securities so affected) by notice to the Company, the Guarantor and the Trustee,
may declare the principal of (or, if any such Securities are Original Issue
Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in
the terms of that series) and all accrued and unpaid interest on all then
outstanding Securities of such series or of all series, as the case may be, to
be due and payable. Upon any such declaration the amounts due and payable on the
Securities shall be due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default
specified in clause (5) or (6) of Section 6.01 hereof occurs, such amounts shall
ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration,
notice or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder. The Holders of a
majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of the series
affected by such default or all series, as the case may be, by written notice to
the Trustee may rescind an acceleration and its consequences (other than
nonpayment of principal of or premium or interest on or any Additional Amounts
with respect to the Securities) if the rescission would not conflict with any
judgment or decree and if all existing Events of Default with respect to
Securities of that series (or of all series, as the case may be) have been cured
or waived, except nonpayment of principal, premium, interest or any Additional
Amounts that has become due solely because of the acceleration.

SECTION 6.03      Other Remedies.

                  If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee
may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal of, or
premium, if any, or interest on the Securities or to enforce the performance of
any provision of the Securities or this Indenture.

                  The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not
possess any of the Securities or does not produce any of them in the proceeding.
A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder in exercising any right or
remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or
constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. All remedies are
cumulative to the extent permitted by law.

                                       32
<PAGE>

SECTION 6.04      Waiver of Defaults.

                  Subject to Sections 6.07 and 9.02, the Holders of a majority
in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of any series or of all
series (acting as one class) by notice to the Trustee may waive an existing or
past Default or Event of Default with respect to such series or all series, as
the case may be, and its consequences (including waivers obtained in connection
with a tender offer or exchange offer for Securities of such series or all
series or a solicitation of consents in respect of Securities of such series or
all series, provided that in each case such offer or solicitation is made to all
Holders of then outstanding Securities of such series or all series (but the
terms of such offer or solicitation may vary from series to series)), except (1)
a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, or
premium, if any, or interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect to any
Security or (2) a continued Default in respect of a provision that under Section
9.02 cannot be amended or supplemented without the consent of each Holder
affected. Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event
of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every
purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or
other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

SECTION 6.05      Control by Majority.

                  With respect to Securities of any series, the Holders of a
majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of such series
may direct in writing the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding
for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power
conferred on it relating to or arising under an Event of Default described in
clause (1), (2), (3) or (7) of Section 6.01, and with respect to all Securities,
the Holders of a majority in principal amount of all the then outstanding
Securities affected may direct in writing the time, method and place of
conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising
any trust or power conferred on it not relating to or arising under such an
Event of Default. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that
conflicts with applicable law or this Indenture, that the Trustee determines may
be unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders, or that may involve the
Trustee in personal liability; provided, however, that the Trustee may take any
other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such
direction. Prior to taking any action hereunder, the Trustee shall be entitled
to indemnification satisfactory to it in its sole discretion from Holders
directing the Trustee against all losses and expenses caused by taking or not
taking such action.

SECTION 6.06      Limitations on Suits.

                  Subject to Section 6.07 hereof, a Holder of a Security of any
series may pursue a remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Securities of
such series only if:

                  (1) the Holder gives to the Trustee written notice of a
         continuing Event of Default with respect to such series;

                  (2) the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the
         then outstanding Securities of such series make a written request to
         the Trustee to pursue the remedy;

                                       33
<PAGE>

                  (3) such Holder or Holders offer to the Trustee indemnity
         reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or
         expense;

                  (4) the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60
         days after receipt of the request and the offer of indemnity; and

                  (5) during such 60-day period the Holders of a majority in
         principal amount of the Securities of that series do not give the
         Trustee a direction inconsistent with the request.

                  A Holder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of
another Holder or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder.

SECTION 6.07      Rights of Holders to Receive Payment.

                  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the
right of any Holder of a Security to receive payment of principal of and
premium, if any, and interest on and any Additional Amounts with respect to the
Security, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Security, or to
bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective
dates, is absolute and unconditional and shall not be impaired or affected
without the consent of the Holder.

SECTION 6.08      Collection Suit by Trustee.

                  If an Event of Default specified in clause (1) or (2) of
Section 6.01 hereof occurs and is continuing, the Trustee is authorized to
recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the
Company or the Guarantor for the amount of principal, premium (if any), interest
and any Additional Amounts remaining unpaid on the Securities of the series
affected by the Event of Default, and interest on overdue principal and premium,
if any, and, to the extent lawful, interest on overdue interest, and 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.

SECTION 6.09      Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

                  The Trustee is authorized to file such proofs of claim and
other papers or documents and to take such actions, including participating as a
member, voting or otherwise, of any committee of creditors, as may be necessary
or advisable 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 the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings
relative to the Company or the Guarantor or their respective creditors or
properties and shall be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and
distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims
and any Bankruptcy Custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby
authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee, and in the event
that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the
Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents
and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07. To the
extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements

                                       34
<PAGE>

and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due
the Trustee under Section 7.07 out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall
be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a lien on, and
shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities
and other properties which the Holders of the Securities may be entitled to
receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of
reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be
deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on
behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or
composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to
authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such
proceeding.

SECTION 6.10      Priorities.

                  If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article VI,
it shall pay out the money in the following order:

                  First: to the Trustee for amounts due under Section 7.07;

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

                  Third: to the Company.

                  The Trustee, upon prior written notice to the Company, may fix
record dates and payment dates for any payment to Holders pursuant to this
Article VI.

                  To the fullest extent allowed under applicable law, if for the
purpose of obtaining a judgment against the Company or the Guarantor in any
court it is necessary to convert the sum due in respect of the principal of,
premium (if any) or interest on or Additional Amounts with respect to the
Securities of any series (the "Required Currency") into a currency in which a
judgment will be rendered (the "Judgment Currency"), the rate of exchange used
shall be the rate at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the
Trustee could purchase in The City of New York the Required Currency with the
Judgment Currency on the New York Business Day next preceding that on which
final judgment is given. Neither the Company, the Guarantor nor the Trustee
shall be liable for any shortfall nor shall it benefit from any windfall in
payments to Holders of Securities under this Section 6.10 caused by a change in
exchange rates between the time the amount of a judgment against it is
calculated as above and the time the Trustee converts the Judgment Currency into
the Required Currency to make payments under this Section to Holders of
Securities, but payment of such judgment shall discharge all amounts owed by the
Company and the Guarantor on the claim or claims underlying such judgment.

SECTION 6.11      Undertaking for Costs.

                  In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under
this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or
omitted by it as a trustee, a court in its

                                       35
<PAGE>

discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an
undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may
assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees, against any party
litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the
claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.11 does not apply
to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.07, or a suit
by a Holder or Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the then
outstanding Securities of any series.

                                   ARTICLE VII
                                     TRUSTEE

SECTION 7.01      Duties of Trustee.

                  (a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the
Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this
Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in such exercise, as a
prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his
own affairs.

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

                  (1) the Trustee need perform only those duties that are
         specifically set forth in this Indenture and no others, and no implied
         covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the
         Trustee; and

                  (2) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may
         conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the
         correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or
         opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of
         this Indenture. However, the Trustee shall examine such certificates
         and opinions to determine whether, on their face, they appear to
         conform to the requirements of this Indenture.

                  (c) The Trustee may not be relieved from liabilities for its
own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful
misconduct, except that:

                  (1) this paragraph does not limit the effect of Section
         7.01(b);

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

                  (3) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action
         it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction
         received by it pursuant to Section 6.05.

                  (d) Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every
provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee is subject to
the provisions of this Section 7.01.

                                       36
<PAGE>

                  (e) No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee
to expend or risk its own funds or incur any liability. The Trustee may refuse
to perform any duty or exercise any right or power unless it receives indemnity
reasonably satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense.

                  (f) The Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any money
received by it except as the Trustee may agree in writing with the Company and
the Guarantor. Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from
other funds except to the extent required by law. All money received by the
Trustee shall, until applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the
payment of the principal of, premium (if any) and interest on and Additional
Amounts with respect to the Securities.

SECTION 7.02      Rights of Trustee.

                  (a) The Trustee may rely on any document believed by it to be
genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper Person. The Trustee
need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document.

                  (b) Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may
require instruction, an Officers' Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel or both
to be provided. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits
to take in good faith in reliance on such instruction, Officers' Certificate or
Opinion of Counsel. The Trustee may consult at the Company's expense with
counsel and the written advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall
be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action
taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance
thereon.

                  (c) The Trustee may act through agents and shall not be
responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any agent appointed with due
care.

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

                  (e) Unless otherwise specifically provided in this Indenture,
any demand, request, direction or notice from the Company or the Guarantor shall
be sufficient if signed by an Officer of the Company or the Guarantor, as the
case may be.

SECTION 7.03      May Hold Securities.

                  The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become
the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with the Company, the
Guarantor or any of their respective Affiliates with the same rights it would
have if it were not Trustee. Any Agent may do the same with like rights and
duties. However, the Trustee is subject to Sections 7.10 and 7.11.

SECTION 7.04      Trustee's Disclaimer.

                  The Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or
adequacy of this Indenture or the Securities, it shall not be accountable for
the Company's use of the proceeds

                                       37
<PAGE>

from the Securities or any money paid to the Company or the Guarantor or upon
the Company's or the Guarantor's direction under any provision hereof, it shall
not be responsible for the use or application of any money received by any
Paying Agent other than the Trustee and it shall not be responsible for any
statement or recital herein or any statement in the Securities other than its
certificate of authentication.

SECTION 7.05      Notice of Defaults.

                  If a Default or Event of Default with respect to the
Securities of any series occurs and is continuing and it is known to a Trust
Officer of the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail to Holders of Securities of such
series a notice of the Default or Event of Default within 90 days after it
occurs. Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of
principal of, premium (if any) and interest on and Additional Amounts or any
sinking fund installment with respect to the Securities of such series, the
Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its Trust
Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the
interests of Holders of Securities of such series.

SECTION 7.06      Reports by Trustee to Holders.

                  Within 60 days after each May 15 of each year after the
execution of this Indenture, the Trustee shall mail to Holders of a series, the
Guarantor and the Company a brief report dated as of such reporting date that
complies with TIA Section 313(a); provided, however, that if no event described
in TIA Section 313(a) has occurred within the twelve months preceding the
reporting date with respect to a series, no report need be transmitted to
Holders of such series. The Trustee also shall comply with TIA Section 313(b).
The Trustee shall also transmit by mail all reports if and as required by TIA
Sections 313(c) and 313(d).

                  A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to Holders of
a series of Securities shall be filed by the Company or the Guarantor with the
SEC and each securities exchange, if any, on which the Securities of such series
are listed. The Company shall notify the Trustee if and when any series of
Securities is listed on any stock exchange.

SECTION 7.07      Compensation and Indemnity.

                  The Company agrees to pay to the Trustee for its acceptance of
this Indenture and services hereunder such compensation as the Company and the
Trustee shall from time to time agree in writing. The Trustee's compensation
shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express
trust. The Company agrees to reimburse the Trustee upon request for all
reasonable disbursements, advances and expenses incurred by it. Such expenses
shall include the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the
Trustee's agents and counsel.

                  The Company hereby indemnifies the Trustee against any loss,
liability or expense incurred by it arising out of or in connection with the
acceptance or administration of its duties under this Indenture, except as set
forth in the next paragraph. The Trustee shall notify the Company and the
Guarantor promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. The Company or,
at the option of the Guarantor, the Guarantor shall defend the claim and the
Trustee shall cooperate in the defense. The Trustee may have separate counsel
and the Company shall

                                       38
<PAGE>
pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. The Company need not pay
for any settlement made without its consent.

                  The Company shall not be obligated to reimburse any expense or
indemnify against any loss or liability incurred by the Trustee through
negligence or bad faith.

                  To secure the payment obligations of the Company in this
Section 7.07, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Securities on all money
or property held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay
principal of, premium (if any) and interest on and any Additional Amounts with
respect to Securities of series. Such lien and the indemnity obligation under
this Section 7.07 shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this
Indenture.

                  When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an
Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(5) or (6) occurs, the expenses and
the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of
administration under any Bankruptcy Law.

SECTION 7.08      Replacement of Trustee.

                  A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a
successor Trustee shall become effective only upon the successor Trustee's
acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 7.08.

                  The Trustee may resign and be discharged at any time with
respect to the Securities of one or more series by so notifying the Company and
the Guarantor. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then
outstanding Securities of any series may remove the Trustee with respect to the
Securities of such series by so notifying the Trustee, the Company and the
Guarantor. The Company or the Guarantor may remove the Trustee if:

                  (1) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10;

                  (2) the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent or an
         order for relief is entered with respect to the Trustee under any
         Bankruptcy Law;

                  (3) a Bankruptcy Custodian or public officer takes charge of
         the Trustee or its property; or

                  (4) the Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting.

                  If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in
the office of Trustee for any reason, with respect to the Securities of one or
more series, the Company or the Guarantor 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); provided that, if the Company and the Guarantor appoint different
successor Trustees, the Guarantor's appointment shall prevail. Within one year
after the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series takes
office, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities of such
series

                                       39
<PAGE>

may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by
the Company or the Guarantor.

                  If a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any
series does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or
is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Company, the Guarantor or the Holders of
at least 10% in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of such
series may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a
successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series.

                  If the Trustee with respect to the Securities of a series
fails to comply with Section 7.10, any Holder of Securities of such series may
petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and
the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such
series.

                  In case of the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect
to all Securities, each such successor Trustee shall deliver a written
acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee, to the Company and to the
Guarantor. Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall
become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers
and duties of the retiring Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee
shall mail a notice of its succession to Holders. The retiring Trustee shall
promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee,
subject to the lien provided for in Section 7.07.

                  In case of the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect
to the Securities of one or more (but not all) series, the Company, the
Guarantor, the retiring Trustee and each successor Trustee with respect to the
Securities of one or more (but not all) series shall execute and deliver an
indenture supplemental hereto in which each successor Trustee shall accept such
appointment and that (1) shall confer to each successor Trustee all the rights,
powers and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that
or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates, (2)
if the retiring Trustee is not retiring with respect to all Securities, shall
confirm that all the rights, powers 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. Nothing herein or in such supplemental
indenture shall constitute such Trustees co-trustees of the same trust, and 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. 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 shall have all the rights, powers 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. On request of
the Company, the Guarantor or any successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall
transfer to such successor Trustee all property held by such retiring Trustee as
Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the
appointment of such successor Trustee relates. Such retiring Trustee shall,
however, have the right to deduct its unpaid fees and expenses, including
attorneys' fees.

                                       40
<PAGE>

                  Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee or Trustees
pursuant to this Section 7.08, the obligations of the Company under Section 7.07
shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee or Trustees.

SECTION 7.09      Successor Trustee by Merger, etc.

                  Subject to Section 7.10, if the Trustee consolidates, merges
or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust
business to, another corporation, the successor corporation without any further
act shall be the successor Trustee; provided, however, that in the case of a
transfer of all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to another
corporation, the transferee corporation expressly assumes all of the Trustee's
liabilities hereunder.

                  In case any Securities shall have been authenticated, but not
delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or
consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and
deliver the Securities so authenticated; and in case at that time any of the
Securities shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee may
authenticate such Securities either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or
in the name of the successor to the Trustee; and in all such cases such
certificates shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the Securities or
in this Indenture provided that the certificate of the Trustee shall have.

SECTION 7.10      Eligibility; Disqualification.

                  There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder which shall be
a corporation or banking association organized and doing business under the laws
of the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia and
authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust power, shall be subject
to supervision or examination by Federal or State (or the District of Columbia)
authority and shall have, or be a subsidiary of a bank or bank holding company
having, a combined capital and surplus of at least $50 million as set forth in
its most recent published annual report of condition.

                  The Indenture shall always have a Trustee who satisfies the
requirements of TIA Sections 310(a)(1), 310(a)(2) and 310(a)(5). The Trustee is
subject to and shall comply with the provisions of TIA Section 310(b) during the
period of time required by this Indenture. Nothing in this Indenture shall
prevent the Trustee from filing with the SEC the application referred to in the
penultimate paragraph of TIA Section 310(b).

SECTION 7.11      Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company or
Guarantor.

                  The Trustee is subject to and shall comply with the provisions
of TIA Section 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA Section
311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA
Section 311(a) to the extent indicated therein.

                             DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE

SECTION 8.01      Termination of Company's and Guarantor's Obligations.

                  (a) This Indenture shall cease to be of further effect with
respect to the Securities of a series (except that the Company's obligations
under Section 7.07, the Trustee's and Paying Agent's obligations under Section
8.03 and the rights, powers, protections and privileges accorded the Trustee
under Article VII shall survive), and the Trustee, on demand of the Company or
the Guarantor, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the satisfaction
and discharge of this Indenture with respect to the Securities of such series,
when:

                  (1) either:

                           (A) all outstanding Securities of such series
                  theretofore authenticated and issued (other than destroyed,
                  lost or stolen Securities that have been replaced or paid)
                  have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or

                           (B) all outstanding Securities of such series 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

                                    (iii)    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, in the case of clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above, the
                  Company or the Guarantor has irrevocably deposited or caused
                  to be deposited with the Trustee as funds (immediately
                  available to the Holders in the case of clause (i)) in trust
                  for such purpose (x) cash in an amount, or (y) Government
                  Obligations, maturing as to principal and interest at such
                  times and in such amounts as will ensure the availability of
                  cash in an amount or (z) a combination thereof, which will be
                  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 the entire indebtedness on the Securities of such
                  series for principal and interest to the date of such deposit
                  (in the case of Securities which have become due and payable)
                  or for principal, premium, if any, and interest to the Stated
                  Maturity or Redemption Date, as the case may be; or

                           (C) the Company and the Guarantor have properly
                  fulfilled such other means of satisfaction and discharge as is
                  specified, as contemplated by Section 2.01, to be applicable
                  to the Securities of such series;

                                       42
<PAGE>

                  (2) the Company or the Guarantor has paid or caused to be paid

         an Officers' Certificate stating that all conditions precedent to
         satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to the
         Securities of such series have been complied with, together with an
         Opinion of Counsel to the same effect.

                  (b) Unless this Section 8.01(b) is specified as not being
applicable to Securities of a series as contemplated by Section 2.01, the
Company and the Guarantor may terminate certain of their respective obligations
under this Indenture ("covenant defeasance") with respect to the Securities of a
series if:

                  (1) the Company or the Guarantor has irrevocably deposited or
         caused to be irrevocably deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in
         trust for the purpose of making the following payments, specifically
         pledged as security for and dedicated solely to the benefit of the
         Holders of Securities of such series, (i) money in the currency in
         which payment of the Securities of such series is to be made in an
         amount, or (ii) Government Obligations with respect to such series,
         maturing as to principal and interest at such times and in such amounts
         as will ensure the availability of money in the currency in which
         payment of the Securities of such series is to be made in an amount or
         (iii) a combination thereof, that is sufficient, in the opinion (in the
         case of (ii) and (iii)) of a nationally recognized firm of independent
         public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof
         delivered to the Trustee, to pay, without consideration of the
         reinvestment of any such amounts and after payment of all taxes or
         other charges or assessments in respect thereof payable by the Trustee,
         the principal of and premium (if any) and interest on all Securities of
         such series on each date that such principal, premium (if any) or
         interest is due and payable and (at the Stated Maturity thereof or upon
         redemption as provided in Section 8.01(e)) to pay all other sums
         payable by it hereunder; provided that the Trustee shall have been
         irrevocably instructed to apply such money and/or the proceeds of such
         Government Obligations to the payment of said principal, premium (if
         any) and interest with respect to the Securities of such series as the
         same shall become due;

                  (2) the Company or the Guarantor has delivered to the Trustee
         an Officers' Certificate stating that all conditions precedent to
         satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to the
         Securities of such series have been complied with, and an Opinion of
         Counsel to the same effect;

                  (3) no Default or Event of Default with respect to the
         Securities of such series shall have occurred and be continuing on the
         date of such deposit;

                  (4) the Company or the Guarantor shall have delivered to the
         Trustee an Opinion of Counsel from a nationally recognized counsel
         acceptable to the Trustee or a tax ruling to the effect that the
         Holders will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. Federal income
         tax purposes as a result of the Company's or the Guarantor's exercise
         of its option under this Section 8.01(b) and will be subject to U.S.
         Federal income tax on the

                                       43
<PAGE>

         same amount and in the same manner and at the same times as would have
         been the case if such option had not been exercised;

                  (5) the Company and the Guarantor have complied with any
         additional conditions specified pursuant to Section 2.01 to be
         applicable to the discharge of Securities of such series pursuant to
         this Section 8.01; and

                  (6) such deposit and discharge shall not cause the Trustee to
         have a conflicting interest as defined in TIA Section 310(b).

                  In such event, this Indenture shall cease to be of further
effect (except as set forth in this paragraph), and the Trustee, on demand of
the Company or the Guarantor, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging
satisfaction and discharge under this Indenture. However, the Company's and the
Guarantor's respective obligations in Sections 2.05, 2.06, 2.07, 2.08, 2.09,
4.01, 4.02, 5.01, 5.03, 7.07, 7.08, 8.04 and 10.01, the Trustee's and Paying
Agent's obligations in Section 8.03 and the rights, powers, protections and
privileges accorded the Trustee under Article VII shall survive until all
Securities of such series are no longer outstanding. Thereafter, only the
Company's obligations in Section 7.07 and the Trustee's and Paying Agent's
obligations in Section 8.03 shall survive with respect to Securities of such
series.

                  After such irrevocable deposit made pursuant to this Section
8.01(b) and satisfaction of the other conditions set forth herein, the Trustee
upon request shall acknowledge in writing the discharge of the Company's and the
Guarantor's obligations under this Indenture with respect to the Securities of
such series except for those surviving obligations specified above.

                  In order to have money available on a payment date to pay
principal of or premium (if any) or interest on the Securities, the Government
Obligations shall be payable as to principal or interest on or before such
payment date in such amounts as will provide the necessary money. Government
Obligations shall not be callable at the issuer's option.

                  (c) If the Company and the Guarantor have previously complied
or are concurrently complying with Section 8.01(b) (other than any additional
conditions specified pursuant to Section 2.01 that are expressly applicable only
to covenant defeasance) with respect to Securities of a series, then, unless
this Section 8.01(c) is specified as not being applicable to Securities of such
series as contemplated by Section 2.01, the Company and the Guarantor may elect
to be discharged ("legal defeasance") from their respective obligations to make
payments with respect to Securities of such series, if:

                  (1) no Default or Event of Default under clauses (5) and (6)
         of Section 6.01 hereof shall have occurred at any time during the
         period ending on the 91st day after the date of deposit contemplated by
         Section 8.01(b) (it being understood that this condition shall not be
         deemed satisfied until the expiration of such period);

                  (2) unless otherwise specified with respect to Securities of
         such series as contemplated by Section 2.01, the Company or the
         Guarantor has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel from a
         nationally recognized counsel acceptable to the Trustee to the effect
         referred to in Section 8.01(b)(4) with respect to such legal
         defeasance, which

                                       44
<PAGE>

         opinion is based on (i) a private ruling of the Internal Revenue
         Service addressed to the Company or the Guarantor, (ii) a published
         ruling of the Internal Revenue Service or (iii) a change in the
         applicable federal income tax law (including regulations) after the
         date of this Indenture;

                  (3) the Company and the Guarantor have complied with any other
         conditions specified pursuant to Section 2.01 to be applicable to the
         legal defeasance of Securities of such series pursuant to this Section
         8.01(c); and

                  (4) the Company has delivered to the Trustee a Company Request
         requesting such legal defeasance of the Securities of such series and
         an Officers' Certificate stating that all conditions precedent with
         respect to such legal defeasance of the Securities of such series have
         been complied with, together with an Opinion of Counsel to the same
         effect.

                  In such event, the Company and the Guarantor will be
discharged from their respective obligations under this Indenture and the
Securities of such series to pay principal of, premium (if any) and interest on,
and any Additional Amounts with respect to, Securities of such series, the
Company's and the Guarantor's respective obligations under Sections 4.01, 4.02,
5.01, 5.03 and 10.01 shall terminate with respect to such Securities, and the
entire indebtedness of the Company evidenced by such Securities and of the
Guarantor evidenced by the related Guarantees shall be deemed paid and
discharged.

                  (d) If and to the extent additional or alternative means of
satisfaction, discharge or defeasance of Securities of a series are specified to
be applicable to such series as contemplated by Section 2.01, each of the
Company and the Guarantor may terminate any or all of its obligations under this
Indenture with respect to Securities of a series and any or all of its
obligations under the Securities of such series if it fulfills such other means
of satisfaction and discharge as may be so specified, as contemplated by Section
2.01, to be applicable to the Securities of such series.

                  (e) If Securities of any series subject to subsections (a),
(b), (c) or (d) of this Section 8.01 are to be redeemed prior to their Stated
Maturity, whether pursuant to any optional redemption provisions or in
accordance with any mandatory or optional sinking fund provisions, the terms of
the applicable trust arrangement shall provide for such redemption, and the
Company shall make such arrangements as are reasonably satisfactory to the
Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and
at the expense, of the Company.

SECTION 8.02      Application of Trust Money.

                  The Trustee or a trustee satisfactory to the Trustee, the
Company and the Guarantor shall hold in trust money or Government Obligations
deposited with it pursuant to Section 8.01 hereof. It shall apply the deposited
money and the money from Government Obligations through the Paying Agent and in
accordance with this Indenture to the payment of principal of, premium (if any)
and interest on and any Additional Amounts with respect to the Securities of the
series with respect to which the deposit was made.

                                       45
<PAGE>

SECTION 8.03      Repayment to Company or Guarantor.

                  The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall promptly pay to the
Company or the Guarantor any excess money or Government Obligations (or proceeds
therefrom) held by them at any time upon the written request of the Guarantor.

                  Subject to the requirements of any applicable abandoned
property laws, the Trustee and the Paying Agent shall pay to the Company upon
written request any money held by them for the payment of principal, premium (if
any), interest or any Additional Amounts that remains unclaimed for two years
after the date upon which such payment shall have become due. After payment to
the Company, Holders entitled to the money must look to the Company for payment
as general creditors unless an applicable abandoned property law designates
another Person, and all liability of the Trustee and the Paying Agent with
respect to such money shall cease.

SECTION 8.04      Reinstatement.

                  If the Trustee or the Paying Agent is unable to apply any
money or Government Obligations deposited with respect to Securities of any
series in accordance with Section 8.01 by reason of any legal proceeding or by
reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority
enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the
obligations of the Company and the Guarantor under this Indenture with respect
to the Securities of such series and under the Securities of such series shall
be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section
8.01 until such time as the Trustee or the Paying Agent is permitted to apply
all such money or Government Obligations in accordance with Section 8.01;
provided, however, that if the Company or the Guarantor has made any payment of
principal of, premium (if any) or interest on or any Additional Amounts with
respect to any Securities because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the
Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, shall be subrogated to the rights
of the Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from the money or
Government Obligations held by the Trustee or the Paying Agent.

                                   ARTICLE IX
                     SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES AND AMENDMENTS

SECTION 9.01      Without Consent of Holders.

                  The Company, the Guarantor and the Trustee may amend or
supplement this Indenture or the Securities or waive any provision hereof or
thereof without the consent of any Holder:

                  (1) to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency;

                  (2) to comply with Sections 5.01 and 5.03;

                  (3) to provide for uncertificated Securities in addition to or
         in place of certificated Securities, or to provide for the issuance of
         bearer Securities (with or without coupons);

                                       46
<PAGE>

                  (4) to provide any security for, or to add any guarantees of,
         any series of Securities or the related Guarantees;

                  (5) to comply with any requirement in order to effect or
         maintain the qualification of this Indenture under the TIA;

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

                  (7) to add any additional Events of Default with respect to
         all or any series of the Securities (and, if such Events of Default are
         applicable to less than all series of Securities, specifying the series
         to which such Events of Default are applicable);

                  (8) to change or eliminate any of the provisions of this
         Indenture; provided that any such change or elimination shall become
         effective only when there is no outstanding Security of any series
         created prior to the execution of such amendment or supplemental
         indenture that is adversely affected in any material respect by such
         change in or elimination of such provision;

                  (9) to establish the form or terms of Securities of any series
         as permitted by Section 2.01;

                  (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
         Section 8.01; provided, however, that any such action shall not
         adversely affect the interest of the Holders of Securities of such
         series or any other series of Securities in any material respect; or

                  (11) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment
         hereunder by a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one
         or more series and to add to or change any of the provisions of this
         Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the
         administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee,
         pursuant to the requirements of Section 7.08.

                  Upon the request of the Company, accompanied by a Board
Resolution, and the Guarantor, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents
described in Section 9.06, the Trustee shall, subject to Section 9.06, join with
the Company and the Guarantor in the execution of any supplemental indenture
authorized or permitted by the terms of this Indenture and make any further
appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained.

SECTION 9.02      With Consent of Holders.

                  Except as provided below in this Section 9.02, the Company,
the Guarantor and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture with the
written consent (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer
or exchange offer for Securities of any one or

                                       47
<PAGE>

more series or all series or a solicitation of consents in respect of Securities
of any one or more series or all series, provided that in each case such offer
or solicitation is made to all Holders of then outstanding Securities of each
such series (but the terms of such offer or solicitation may vary from series to
series)) of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the then
outstanding Securities of all series affected by such amendment or supplement
(acting as one class).

                  Upon the request of the Company, accompanied by a Board
Resolution, and the Guarantor, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence
of the consent of the Holders as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee of
the documents described in Section 9.06, the Trustee shall, subject to Section
9.06, join with the Company and the Guarantor in the execution of such amendment
or supplemental indenture.

                  It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under
this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment,
supplement or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the
substance thereof.

                  The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then
outstanding Securities of one or more series or of all series may waive
compliance in a particular instance by the Company or the Guarantor with any
provision of this Indenture with respect to Securities of such series (including
waivers obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for
Securities of such series or a solicitation of consents in respect of Securities
of such series, provided that in each case such offer or solicitation is made to
all Holders of then outstanding Securities of such series (but the terms of such
offer or solicitation may vary from series to series)).

                  However, without the consent of each Holder affected, an
amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 may not:

                  (1) reduce the amount of Securities whose Holders must consent
         to an amendment, supplement or waiver;

                  (2) reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of
         interest, including default interest, on any Security;

                  (3) reduce the principal of, premium on or any mandatory
         sinking fund payment with respect to, or change the Stated Maturity of,
         any Security or reduce the amount of the principal of an Original Issue
         Discount Security that would be due and payable upon a declaration of
         acceleration of the Maturity thereof pursuant to Section 6.02;

                  (4) reduce the premium, if any, payable upon the redemption of
         any Security or change the time at which any Security may or shall be
         redeemed;

                  (5) change any obligation of the Company or the Guarantor to
         pay Additional Amounts with respect to any Security;

                                       48
<PAGE>

                  (6) change the coin or currency or currencies (including
         composite currencies) in which any Security or any premium, interest or
         Additional Amounts with respect thereto are payable;

                  (7) impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of
         any payment of principal of, premium (if any) or interest on or any
         Additional Amounts with respect to any Security pursuant to Sections
         6.07 and 6.08, except as limited by Section 6.06;

                  (8) make any change in the percentage of principal amount of
         Securities necessary to waive compliance with certain provisions of
         this Indenture pursuant to Section 6.04 or 6.07 or make any change in
         this sentence of Section 9.02;

                  (9) waive a continuing Default or Event of Default in the
         payment of principal of, premium (if any) or interest on or Additional
         Amounts with respect to the Securities; or

                  (10) modify or affect the obligations of the Guarantor under
         Section 10.01 in any manner adverse to the Holders.

                  A supplemental indenture that 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 right of any Holder to participate in any consent required
or sought pursuant to any provision of this Indenture (and the obligation of the
Company or the Guarantor to obtain any such consent otherwise required from such
Holder) may be subject to the requirement that such Holder shall have been the
Holder of record of any Securities with respect to which such consent is
required or sought as of a date identified by the Company or the Guarantor in a
notice furnished to Holders in accordance with the terms of this Indenture.

                  After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section
9.02 becomes effective, the Company shall mail to the Holders of each Security
affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or
waiver. Any failure of the Company to mail such notice, or any defect therein,
shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such
amendment, supplement or waiver.

SECTION 9.03      Compliance with Trust Indenture Act.

                  Every amendment or supplement to this Indenture or the
Securities shall comply in form and substance with the TIA as then in effect.

SECTION 9.04      Revocation and Effect of Consents.

                  Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a
consent to it by a Holder is a continuing consent by the Holder and every
subsequent Holder of a Security or portion of a Security that evidences the same
debt as the consenting Holder's Security, even if

                                       49
<PAGE>

notation of the consent is not made on any Security. However, any such Holder or
subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as to his or her Security or portion of
a Security if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the date
the amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective. An amendment, supplement
or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds
every Holder.

                  The Company or the Guarantor may, but shall not be obligated
to, fix a record date (which need not comply with Section 316(c) of the TIA) for
the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to consent to any amendment,
supplement or waiver or to take any other action under this Indenture. If a
record date is fixed, then notwithstanding the provisions of the immediately
preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Holders at such record date (or
their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be entitled to
consent to such amendment, supplement or waiver or to revoke any consent
previously given, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such
record date. No consent shall be valid or effective for more than 90 days after
such record date unless consents from Holders of the principal amount of
Securities required hereunder for such amendment or waiver to be effective shall
have also been given and not revoked within such 90-day period.

                  After an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, it
shall bind every Holder, unless it is of the type described in any of clauses
(1) through (10) of Section 9.02 hereof. In such case, the amendment, supplement
or waiver shall bind each Holder who has consented to it and every subsequent
Holder that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder's Security.

SECTION 9.05      Notation on or Exchange of Securities.

                  If an amendment or supplement changes the terms of an
outstanding Security, the Company may require the Holder of the Security to
deliver it to the Trustee. The Trustee may place an appropriate notation on the
Security at the request of the Company regarding the changed terms and return it
to the Holder. Alternatively, if the Company so determines, the Company in
exchange for the Security shall issue, the Guarantor shall execute and the
Trustee shall authenticate a new Security that reflects the changed terms.
Failure to make the appropriate notation or to issue a new Security shall not
affect the validity of such amendment or supplement.

                  Securities of any series authenticated and delivered after the
execution of any amendment or supplement 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 amendment or supplement.

SECTION 9.06      Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc.

                  The Trustee shall sign any amendment or supplement authorized
pursuant to this Article if the amendment or supplement does not adversely
affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. If it does,
the Trustee may, but need not, sign it. In signing or refusing to sign such
amendment or supplement, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and, subject
to Section 7.01 hereof, shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Officers'
Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel provided at the expense of the Company or
the Guarantor as

                                       50
<PAGE>

conclusive evidence that such amendment or supplement is authorized or permitted
by this Indenture, that it is not inconsistent herewith, and that it will be
valid and binding upon the Company and the Guarantor in accordance with its
terms.

                                    ARTICLE X
                                    GUARANTEE

SECTION 10.01     Guarantee.

                  The Guarantor hereby unconditionally guarantees to the Holders
from time to time of the Securities (a) the full and prompt payment of the
principal of and any premium on any Security when and as the same shall become
due, whether at the Stated Maturity thereof, by acceleration, redemption or
otherwise, and (b) the full and prompt payment of any interest on and any
Additional Amounts with respect to any Security when and as the same shall
become due, subject to any applicable grace period. Each payment by the
Guarantor with respect to any Security shall be paid in the currency or
currencies specified for payments on such Security as contemplated by Section
2.01 and pursuant to this Indenture. Each and every default in the payment of
the principal of, premium (if any) and interest on and any Additional Amounts
with respect to any Security shall give rise to a separate cause of action
hereunder, and separate suits may be brought hereunder as each cause of action
arises. The Guarantee hereunder constitutes a guarantee of payment and not of
collection.

                  The obligations of the Guarantor hereunder with respect to a
series of Securities shall be absolute and unconditional and, subject to Article
VIII, shall remain in full force and effect until the entire principal of,
premium (if any) and interest on and any Additional Amounts with respect to the
Securities of such series shall have been paid or provided for in accordance
with the provisions of such series and of this Indenture, and such payment shall
not be affected, modified or impaired upon the happening from time to time of
any event, including without limitation any of the following, whether or not
with notice to, or the consent of, the Guarantor:

                  (a) the waiver, surrender, compromise, settlement, release or
         termination of any or all of the obligations, covenants or agreements
         of the Company under this Indenture or the Securities of such series;

                  (b) the failure to give notice to the Guarantor of the
         occurrence of a Default or Event of Default;

                  (c) the waiver, compromise or release of the payment,
         performance or observance by the Company or the Guarantor of any or all
         of the obligations, covenants or agreements of either of them contained
         in this Indenture;

                  (d) the extension of the time for payment of principal of,
         premium (if any) and interest on and any Additional Amounts with
         respect to any Security of such series or for any other payment under
         this Indenture or of the time for performance of any other obligations,
         covenants or agreements under or arising out of this Indenture;

                                       51
<PAGE>

                  (e) the modification or amendment (whether material or
         otherwise) of any obligation, covenant or agreement set forth in this
         Indenture or the Securities of such series;

                  (f) the taking or the omission of any of the actions referred
         to in this Indenture and any of the actions under the Securities of
         such series;

                  (g) any failure, omission, delay or lack on the part of the
         Trustee to enforce, assert or exercise any right, power or remedy
         conferred on the Trustee in this Indenture, or any other act or acts on
         the part of the Trustee or any of the Holders from time to time of the
         Securities of such series;

                  (h) the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution,
         sale or other disposition of all or substantially all the assets,
         marshalling of assets and liabilities, receivership, insolvency,
         bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors, reorganization,
         arrangement, composition with creditors or readjustment of, or other
         similar proceedings affecting the Guarantor or the Company, or any of
         the assets of any of them, or any allegation or contest of the validity
         of the Guarantee in any such proceeding;

                  (i) to the extent permitted by law, the release or discharge
         by operation of law of the Guarantor from the performance or observance
         of any obligation, covenant or agreement contained in this Indenture;

                  (j) to the extent permitted by law, the release or discharge
         by operation of law of the Company from the performance or observance
         of any obligation, covenant or agreement contained in this Indenture;

                  (k) the default or failure of the Guarantor or the Trustee
         fully to perform any of its obligations set forth in this Indenture or
         the Securities of such series; or

                  (l) the invalidity of this Indenture or the Securities of such
         series or any part of any thereof.

                  No set-off, counterclaim, reduction or diminution of any
obligation, or any defense of any kind or nature which the Guarantor has or may
have against the Trustee shall be available hereunder to the Guarantor against
the Trustee to reduce the payments of the Guarantor under this Section 10.01.

                  The Guarantor assumes responsibility for being and remaining
informed of the financial condition of the Company and of all other

SECTION 10.02     Proceedings Against the Guarantor.

                  In the event of a default in the payment of principal of or
any premium on any Security when and as the same shall become due, whether at
the Stated Maturity thereof, by acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise,
or in the event of a default in any sinking fund payment, or in the event of a
default in the payment of any interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect
to any Security when and as the same shall become due, each of the Trustee and
the Holder of such Security shall have the right to proceed first and directly
against the Guarantor under this Indenture without first proceeding against the
Company or exhausting any other remedies which the Trustee or such Holder may
have and without resorting to any other security held by it.

                  The Trustee shall have the right, power and authority to do
all things it deems necessary or advisable to enforce the provisions of this
Indenture relating to the Guarantee and to protect the interests of the Holders
of the Securities and, in the event of a default in payment of the principal of
or any premium on any Security when and as the same shall become due, whether at
the Stated Maturity thereof, by acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise,
or in the event of a default in the payment of any interest on or any Additional
Amounts with respect to any Security when and as the same shall become due, the
Trustee may institute or appear in such appropriate judicial proceedings as the
Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any of its rights and
the rights of the Holders, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant
or agreement in this Indenture relating to the Guarantee or in aid of the
exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event of a default in
payment of the principal of, premium (if any) and interest on or any Additional
Amounts with respect to any Security when due, the Trustee may institute a
judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may
prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce the same
against the Guarantor and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable
in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Guarantor, wherever
situated.

SECTION 10.03     Guarantee for Benefit of Holders.

                  The Guarantee contained in this Indenture is entered into by
the Guarantor for the benefit of the Holders from time to time of the
Securities. Such provisions shall not be deemed to create any right in, or to be
in whole or in part for the benefit of any Person other than, the Trustee, the
Guarantor, the Holders from time to time of the Securities and their permitted
successors and assigns.

                              [REVERSE OF SECURITY]

                                   CONOCO INC.

                    [FLOATING RATE NOTE DUE OCTOBER 15, 2002]
                     [FLOATING RATE NOTE DUE APRIL 15, 2003]

                  This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of [Floating
Rate Notes due October 15, 2002] [Floating Rate Notes due April 15, 2003] (the
"Securities") of Conoco Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company").

                  1. Interest. The Company promises to pay interest on the
principal amount of this Security as set forth below from, and including,
October 11, 2001 until maturity. The Company will pay interest quarterly on
January 15, April 15, July 15 and October 15 of each year (each an "Interest
Payment Date"), or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding
Business Day. Interest on the Securities will accrue from, and including, the
most recent Interest Payment Date on which interest has been paid or, if no
interest has been paid, from, and including, October 11, 2001; provided that if
there is no existing Default in the payment of interest, and if this Security is
authenticated between a record date referred to on the face hereof (each, a
"Record Date") and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest shall
accrue from, and including, such next succeeding Interest Payment Date;
provided, further, that the first Interest Payment Date shall be January 15,
2002. The Company shall pay interest on overdue principal and premium (if any)
from time to time at a rate equal to the interest rate then in effect; it shall
pay interest on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any
applicable grace periods) from time to time at the same rate to the extent
lawful. The period beginning on, and including, October 11, 2001 and ending on,
but excluding, the next Interest Payment Date thereafter, and each successive
three-month period beginning on, and including, an Interest Payment Date and
ending on, but excluding, the next succeeding Interest Payment Date is herein
called an "Interest Period."

                  2. Calculation of Interest.

                  (a) The rate of interest payable from time to time in respect
of the Securities (the "Rate of Interest") shall be a floating rate subject to
adjustment once for each Interest Period and determined by reference to LIBOR,
determined as described below, plus a spread of [0.77] [0.85]% per annum. All
percentages resulting from any calculation of the Rate of Interest on the
Securities shall be rounded to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a
percentage point, with five one millionths of a percentage point rounded upwards
(e.g., 9.876545% (or .09876545) would be rounded to 9.87655% (or .0987655)), and
all dollar amounts used in or resulting from such calculation on the Securities
shall be rounded to the nearest cent (with one-half cent being rounded upward).

                  The Rate of Interest in effect on each day that is not an
Interest Reset Date (as defined below) shall be the Rate of Interest determined
as of the Interest Determination Date (as defined below) in respect of the next
preceding Interest Reset Date. The Rate of Interest in effect on each day that
is an Interest Reset Date shall be the Rate of Interest determined as of the
Interest Determination Date in respect of such Interest Reset Date.

                                      AA-3
<PAGE>

                  (b) The Calculation Agent shall reset the Rate of Interest on
each Interest Payment Date and on October 11, 2001 (each, an "Interest Reset
Date"). At approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on the second London Business
Day (or, for purposes of the third sentence of paragraph (c) below, the Business
Day) next preceding each Interest Reset Date (each, an "Interest Determination
Date"), Bank One, N.A., or its successor in this capacity (the "Calculation
Agent"), shall calculate the Rate of Interest for the following Interest Period
as, subject to the provisions described below, the rate per annum equal to
[0.77] [0.85]% above the rate for deposits in United States dollars having a
maturity of three months commencing on the first day of such Interest Period
that appears on the Telerate Page (as defined below) on such Interest
Determination Date. "London Business Day" means any day on which dealings in
United States dollars are transacted in the London interbank market.

                  (c) If no such rate appears on the Telerate Page as specified
in paragraph (b) above, the Calculation Agent shall request the principal London
offices of each of four major reference banks in the London interbank market, as
selected by the Calculation Agent (after consultation with the Company), to
provide the Calculation Agent with its offered quotation for deposits in United
States dollars for the period of three months, commencing on the first day of
the applicable Interest Period, to prime banks in the London interbank market at
approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on such Interest Determination Date and
in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in United
States dollars in that market at that time. If at least two quotations are
provided, then LIBOR on such Interest Determination Date shall be the arithmetic
mean of such quotations. If fewer than two quotations are provided, then LIBOR
on such Interest Determination Date shall be the arithmetic mean of the rates
quoted at approximately 11:00 a.m., in The City of New York, on the Interest
Determination Date by three major banks in The City of New York selected by the
Calculation Agent (after consultation with the Company) for loans in United
States dollars to leading European banks, having a three-month maturity and in a
principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in United
States dollars in that market at that time. If, however, the banks selected by
the Calculation Agent are not providing quotations in the manner described by
the previous sentence, LIBOR determined as of such Interest Determination Date
shall be LIBOR in effect on such Interest Determination Date.

                  "Telerate Page" means the display designated as "Page 3750" on
Bridge Telerate, Inc., or any successor service, for the purpose of displaying
the London interbank rates of major banks for United States dollars.

                  (d) The Calculation Agent shall, as soon as practicable after
11:00 a.m. (London time) on each Interest Determination Date, determine the Rate
of Interest and calculate the amount of interest payable in respect of the
following Interest Period (the "Interest Amount"). The Interest Amount shall be
calculated by applying the Rate of Interest to the principal amount of each
Security outstanding at the commencement of the Interest Period, multiplying
each such amount by the actual number of days in the Interest Period concerned
(which actual number of days shall include the first day but exclude the last
day of such Interest Period) divided by 360 and rounding the resultant figure
upwards to the nearest cent (half a cent being rounded upwards). The
determination of the Rate of Interest and the Interest Amount by the Calculation
Agent shall (in the absence of manifest error) be final and binding on all
parties.

                                      AA-4
<PAGE>

                  The Calculation Agent has determined that the Rate of Interest
for the initial Interest Period is [3.20125] [3.28125]%.

                  (e) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Rate
of Interest shall in no event be higher than the maximum rate permitted by New
York law, as the same may be modified by United States law of general
application.

                  (f) Interest shall cease to accrue on this Security on the
maturity date unless, upon presentation of this Security, payment of principal
is improperly withheld or refused, in which case, interest shall continue to
accrue.

                  3. Calculation Agent. So long as any of the Securities remain
outstanding, the Company shall maintain under appointment a Calculation Agent,
which shall initially be the Trustee, for the purpose of the Securities. If the
Trustee shall be unable or unwilling to continue to act as Calculation Agent or
if the Calculation Agent fails to calculate properly the Rate of Interest for
any Interest Period, the Company shall appoint another leading commercial or
investment bank engaged in the London interbank market to act as the Calculation
Agent. The Company may change the Calculation Agent without notice. The
Calculation Agent may not resign in its duties, and the Company may not change
the Calculation Agent, without a successor Calculation Agent having been
appointed that meets the requirements of this paragraph.

                  All certificates, communications, opinions, determinations,
calculations, quotations and decisions given, expressed, made or obtained for
the purposes of the provisions hereof relating to the payment and calculation of
interest on the Securities, whether by the reference banks referred to in
paragraph 2(c) above (or any of them) or the Calculation Agent, shall (in the
absence of manifest error) be binding on the Company, the Calculation Agent and
all of the holders and owners of beneficial interests in this Securities, and no
liability shall (in the absence of manifest error) attach to the Calculation
Agent in connection with the exercise or non-exercise by it of its powers,
duties and discretions.

                  4. Method of Payment. The Company will pay interest on the
Securities (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders
of Securities at the close of business on the Record Date next preceding the
Interest Payment Date, even if such Securities are canceled after such Record
Date and on or before such Interest Payment Date. The Holder must surrender this
Security to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments. The Company will pay
the principal of, premium (if any) on and interest on the Securities in money of
the United States of America that at the time of payment is legal tender for
payment of public and private debts. Such amounts shall be payable at the
offices of the Trustee (as defined below), provided that at the option of the
Company, the Company may pay such amounts (1) by wire transfer with respect to
Global Securities or (2) by check payable in such money mailed to a Holder's
registered address with respect to any Securities.

                  5. Paying Agent and Registrar. Initially, Bank One, N.A. (the
"Trustee"), the trustee under the Indenture, will act as Paying Agent and
Registrar. In addition, as long as the Securities are listed on the Luxembourg
Stock Exchange, the Company shall maintain a Paying Agent and Registrar for the
Securities in Luxembourg, which initially shall be Kredietbank S.A. Luxembourg.
The Company may change any Paying Agent, Registrar, co-

                                      AA-5
<PAGE>

registrar or additional paying agent without notice to any Holder. The Company
or any Subsidiary of the Company may act in any such capacity.

                  6. Indenture. The Company issued the Securities under an
Indenture dated as of April 15, 1999 (the "Indenture") between the Company and
the Trustee. The terms of the Securities include those stated in the Indenture
and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of
1939, as amended (15 U.S.C. Sections 77aaa-77bbbb) (the "TIA"), as in effect on
the date of execution of the Indenture. The Securities are subject to all such
terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of
such terms and for the definitions of capitalized terms used but not defined
herein. The Securities are unsecured general obligations of the Company limited
to $500,000,000 in aggregate principal amount; provided, however, that the
authorized aggregate principal amount of the Securities may be increased before
or after the issuance of any Securities by a Board Resolution (or action
pursuant to a Board Resolution) to such effect. The Indenture provides for the
issuance of other series of debt securities (including the Securities, the "Debt
Securities") thereunder.

                  7. Denominations, Transfer, Exchange. The Securities are in
registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and integral
multiples of $1,000. The transfer of Securities may be registered and Securities
may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee may
require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and
transfer documents and to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by
the Indenture.

                  8. Amendments and Waivers. Subject to certain exceptions and
limitations, the Indenture or the Securities may be amended or supplemented with
the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the
then outstanding Debt Securities of all series affected by such amendment or
supplement (acting as one class), and any existing or past Default or Event of
Default under, or compliance with any provision of, the Indenture may be waived
(other than any continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of the
principal of, premium (if any) on or interest on the Securities) by the Holders
of at least a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Debt
Securities of any series or of all series (acting as one class) in accordance
with the terms of the Indenture. Without the consent of any Holder, the Company
and the Trustee may amend or supplement the Indenture or the Securities or waive
any provision of either: (i) to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or
inconsistency; (ii) to provide for the assumption of the obligations of the
Company under the Indenture to Holders in the case of the merger, consolidation
or sale, lease, conveyance, transfer or other disposition of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company; (iii) to provide for
uncertificated Securities in addition to or in place of certificated Securities
or to provide for the issuance of bearer Securities (with or without coupons);
(iv) to provide any security for the Securities or to add guarantees of the
Securities; (v) to comply with any requirement in order to effect or maintain
the qualification of the Indenture under the TIA; (vi) to add to the covenants
of the Company for the benefit of the Holders of the Securities, or to surrender
any right or power conferred by the Indenture upon the Company; (vii) to add any
additional Events of Default with respect to all or any series of the Debt
Securities; (viii) to change or eliminate any of the provisions of the
Indenture, provided that no outstanding Security is adversely affected in any
material respect; (ix) to supplement any of the provisions of the Indenture to
such extent as shall be necessary to permit or facilitate the defeasance and
discharge of the Securities pursuant to the Indenture; or (x) to evidence and

                                      AA-6
<PAGE>

provide for the acceptance of appointment under the Indenture by a successor
Trustee with respect to the Securities and to add to or change any of the
provisions of the Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate
the administration of the trusts thereunder by more than one Trustee, pursuant
to the requirements of the Indenture.

                  The right of any Holder to participate in any consent required
or sought pursuant to any provision of the Indenture (and the obligation of the
Company to obtain any such consent otherwise required from such Holder) may be
subject to the requirement that such Holder shall have been the Holder of record
of any Securities with respect to which such consent is required or sought as of
a date identified by the Company in a notice furnished to Holders in accordance
with the terms of the Indenture.

                  Without the consent of each Holder affected, the Company may
not (i) reduce the amount of Debt Securities whose Holders must consent to an
amendment, supplement or waiver; (ii) reduce the rate of or change the time for
payment of interest, including default interest, on any Security; (iii) reduce
the principal of or premium on, or change the Stated Maturity of, any Security;
(iv) reduce the premium, if any, payable upon the redemption of any Security or
change the time at which any Security may or shall be redeemed; (v) change the
coin or currency in which any Security or any premium or interest with respect
thereto is payable; (vi) impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement
of any payment of principal of or premium (if any) or interest on any Security,
except as provided in the Indenture; (vii) make any change in the percentage of
principal amount of Debt Securities necessary to waive compliance with certain
provisions of the Indenture or make any change in the provision for
modification; or (viii) waive a continuing Default or Event of Default in the
payment of principal of or premium (if any) or interest on the Securities.

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

                  9. Defaults and Remedies. Events of Default are defined in the
Indenture and generally include: (i) default by the Company for 30 days in
payment of any interest on the Securities; (ii) default by the Company in any
payment of principal of or premium, if any, on the Securities when due and
payable; (iii) default by the Company in compliance with any of its other
covenants or agreements in, or provisions of, the Securities or in the Indenture
which shall not have been remedied within 90 days after written notice by the
Trustee or by the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Securities
then outstanding (or, in the event that other Debt Securities issued under the
Indenture are also affected by the default, then 25% in principal amount of all
outstanding Debt Securities so affected); or (iv) certain events involving
bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Company. If an Event of Default
occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in
principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of the series affected by
such default (or, in the case of an Event of Default described in clause (iii)
above, if outstanding Debt Securities of other series are affected by such
Default, then at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Debt
Securities so affected), may

                                      AA-7
<PAGE>

declare the principal of and interest on all the Securities (or such Debt
Securities) to be immediately due and payable, except that in the case of an
Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or
reorganization of the Company, all outstanding Debt Securities under the
Indenture become due and payable immediately without further action or notice.
The amount due and payable upon the acceleration of any Security is equal to
100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest to the date of
payment. Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Securities except as
provided in the Indenture. The Trustee may require indemnity reasonably
satisfactory to it before it enforces the Indenture or the Securities. Subject
to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then
outstanding Securities (or affected Debt Securities) may direct the Trustee in
its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders notice
of any continuing default (except a default in payment of principal, premium or
interest) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interests. The
Company must furnish an annual compliance certificate to the Trustee.

                  10. Discharge Prior to Maturity. The Indenture with respect to
the Securities shall be discharged and canceled upon the payment of all of the
Securities and shall be discharged except for certain obligations upon the
irrevocable deposit with the Trustee of funds or U.S. Government Obligations
sufficient for such payment.

                  11. Trustee Dealings with Company. The Trustee, in its
individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities
and may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services for the
Company or its Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the Company or its
Affiliates, as if it were not Trustee.

                  12. No Recourse Against Others. A director, officer, employee,
stockholder, partner or other owner of the Company or the Trustee, as such,
shall not have any liability for any obligations of the Company under the
Securities or for any obligations of the Company or the Trustee under the
Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such
obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting a Security waives and
releases all such liability. The waiver and release shall be part of the
consideration for the issue of Securities.

                  13. Authentication. This Security shall not be valid until
authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent.

                  14. CUSIP Numbers. Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by
the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Company has
caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Securities as a convenience to the
Holders of the Securities. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such
numbers as printed on the Securities and reliance may be placed only on the
other identification numbers printed thereon.

                  15. Abbreviations. Customary abbreviations may be used in the
name of a Holder or an assignee, such as: TEN COM (= tenants in common), TEN ENT
(= tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (= joint tenants with right of
survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (= Custodian), and U/G/M/A (=
Uniform Gifts to Minors Act).
