                                    FORM OF
                            INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT

                  AGREEMENT, effective as of _______________, 2001, between
IASIS Healthcare Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and
_______________ ("Indemnitee").

                  WHEREAS, it is essential to the Company to retain and attract
as directors the most capable persons available;

                  WHEREAS, Indemnitee is a director of the Company;

                  WHEREAS, both the Company and Indemnitee recognize the
increased risk of litigation and other claims being asserted against directors
of public companies in today's environment;

                  WHEREAS, the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation
of the Company (the "Charter") and the By-laws of the Company (the "By-Laws")
require the Company to indemnify its directors to the fullest extent permitted
by law and Indemnitee has agreed to serve as a director of the Company in part
in reliance on such Charter and By-Laws;

                  WHEREAS, in recognition of Indemnitee's need for substantial
protection against personal liability in order to enhance Indemnitee's service
to the Company in an effective manner, the increasing difficulty in obtaining
satisfactory director liability insurance coverage and Indemnitee's reliance on
the aforesaid Charter and By-Laws, and in part to provide Indemnitee with
specific contractual assurance that the protection afforded by such Charter and
By-Laws will be available to Indemnitee (regardless of, among other things, any
amendment to or revocation of the Charter and By-Laws or any change in the
composition of the Company's Board of Directors or acquisition transaction
relating to the Company), the Company wishes to provide in this Agreement for
the indemnification of and the advancing of expenses to Indemnitee to the
fullest extent (whether partial or complete) permitted by law and as set forth
in this Agreement, and, to the extent insurance is maintained, for the continued
coverage of Indemnitee under the Company's directors' liability insurance
policies;

                  NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of
Indemnitee continuing to serve the Company directly or, at its request, another
<PAGE>   2
enterprise, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree
as follows:

         1.       Certain Definitions:

         (a)      Change in Control: shall be deemed to have occurred (i) at
                  such time as the Stockholders, directly or indirectly, shall
                  fail to own an aggregate of at least 50% of the outstanding
                  Voting Securities, and any other Person or "group" of Persons
                  (within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Securities
                  Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) shall acquire, beneficially
                  or of record, a greater percentage of the outstanding Voting
                  Securities than the percentage of the outstanding Voting
                  Securities owned, directly or indirectly, by the Stockholders,
                  in the aggregate or (ii) upon a sale of all or substantially
                  all of the assets of the Company.

         (b)      Claim: any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or
                  proceeding, or any inquiry or investigation, whether
                  instituted by the Company or any other party, that Indemnitee
                  in good faith believes might lead to the institution of any
                  such action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
                  administrative, investigative or other.

         (c)      Expenses: include reasonable attorneys' fees and all other
                  reasonable costs, expenses and obligations paid or incurred
                  in connection with investigating, defending, being a witness
                  in or participating in (including on appeal), or preparing to
                  defend, be a witness in or participate in any Claim relating
                  to any Indemnifiable Event.

         (d)      Indemnifiable Event: any event or occurrence related to the
                  fact that Indemnitee is or was a director, officer, employee,
                  agent or fiduciary of the Company, or is or was serving at the
                  request of the Company as a director, officer, employee,
                  trustee, agent or fiduciary of another corporation,
                  partnership, joint venture, employee benefit plan, trust or
                  other enterprise, or by reason of anything done or not done by
                  Indemnitee in any such capacity.

         (e)      Independent Legal Counsel: an attorney or firm of attorneys,
                  selected in accordance with the provisions of Section 3, who
                  shall not have otherwise performed services for the Company,
                  any of its subsidiaries or Indemnitee within the last two
                  years (other than with respect to matters concerning the
                  rights of Indemnitee under this Agreement, or of other
                  indemnitees under similar indemnity agreements).
<PAGE>   3
         (f)      Person: any individual, firm, corporation, partnership,
                  limited liability company, trust or other entity, and any
                  successor (by merger or otherwise) of such entity.

         (g)      Reviewing Party: any appropriate person or body consisting of
                  a member or members of the Company's Board of Directors or any
                  other person or body appointed by the Board who is not a party
                  to the particular Claim for which Indemnitee is seeking
                  indemnification, or Independent Legal Counsel.

         (h)      Stockholders: shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in
                  the Stockholders Agreement of the Company, dated as of October
                  8, 1999, as amended from time to time.

         (i)      Voting Securities: any equity securities of the Company which
                  vote generally in the election of directors.

         2. Basic Indemnification Arrangement. (a) In the event Indemnitee was,
is or becomes a party to or witness or other participant in, or is threatened to
be made a party to or witness or other participant in, a Claim by reason of (or
arising in part out of) an Indemnifiable Event, the Company shall indemnify
Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by law as soon as practicable, but in
any event no later than thirty days after written demand is presented to the
Company, against any and all Expenses, judgments, fines, penalties and amounts
paid in settlement (including all interest, assessments and other charges paid
or payable in connection with or in respect of such Expenses, judgments, fines,
penalties or amounts paid in settlement) of such Claim. If so requested by
Indemnitee, the Company shall advance (within two business days of such request)
any and all Expenses to Indemnitee (an "Expense Advance"). Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary, except as provided in Section 4
hereof, prior to a Change in Control, Indemnitee shall not be entitled to
indemnification or Expense Advances pursuant to this Agreement in connection
with any Claim initiated by Indemnitee unless the Board of Directors has
authorized or consented to the initiation of such Claim.

                  (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the obligations of the
Company under Section 2(a) shall be subject to the condition that the Reviewing
Party shall not have determined (in a written opinion, in any case in which the
Independent Legal Counsel referred to in Section 3 hereof is involved) that
Indemnitee would not be permitted to be indemnified under applicable law, and
(ii) the obligation of the Company to make an Expense Advance pursuant to
Section 2(a) shall be subject to the condition that, if, when and to the extent
that the

                                       3
<PAGE>   4
Reviewing Party determines that Indemnitee would not be permitted to be so
indemnified under applicable law, the Company shall be entitled to be reimbursed
by Indemnitee (who hereby agrees to reimburse the Company) for all such amounts
theretofore paid; provided, however, that if Indemnitee has commenced or
thereafter commences legal proceedings in a court of competent jurisdiction to
secure a determination that Indemnitee should be indemnified under applicable
law, any determination made by the Reviewing Party that Indemnitee would not be
permitted to be indemnified under applicable law shall not be binding and
Indemnitee shall not be required to reimburse the Company for any Expense
Advance until a final judicial determination is made with respect thereto (as to
which all rights of appeal therefrom have been exhausted or lapsed). If there
has not been a Change in Control, the Reviewing Party shall be selected by the
Board of Directors, and, if there has been such a Change in Control (other than
a Change in Control which has been approved by a majority of the Company's Board
of Directors who were directors immediately prior to such Change in Control),
the Reviewing Party shall be the Independent Legal Counsel referred to in
Section 3 hereof. If there has been no determination by the Reviewing Party or
if the Reviewing Party deter mines that Indemnitee substantively would not be
permitted to be indemnified in whole or in part under applicable law, Indemnitee
shall have the right to commence litigation in any court in the State of
Delaware having subject matter jurisdiction thereof and in which venue is proper
seeking an initial determination by the court or challenging any such
determination by the Reviewing Party or any aspect thereof, including the legal
or factual bases therefor, and the Company hereby consents to service of process
and to appear in any such proceeding. Any determination by the Reviewing Party
otherwise shall be conclusive and binding on the Company and Indemnitee.

         3. Change in Control. The Company agrees that, if there is a Change in
Control of the Company (other than a Change in Control which has been approved
by a majority of the Company's Board of Directors who were directors immediately
prior to such Change in Control), then with respect to all matters thereafter
arising concerning the rights of Indemnitee to indemnity payments and Expense
Advances under this Agreement or any other agreement or Charter or By-Law
provision now or hereafter in effect relating to Claims for Indemnifiable
Events, the Company shall seek legal advice only from Independent Legal Counsel
selected by Indemnitee and approved by the Company (which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld). Such counsel, among other things, shall render its
written opinion to the Company and Indemnitee as to whether and to what extent
Indemnitee would be permitted to be indemnified under applicable law. The
Company agrees to pay the reasonable fees of the Independent Legal Counsel
referred to above and to fully indemnify such counsel against any and all
expenses (including attorneys' fees), claims, liabilities and damages arising
out of or relating to this Agreement or its engagement pursuant hereto.

                                       4
<PAGE>   5
         4. Indemnification for Additional Expenses. The Company shall indemnify
Indemnitee against any and all reasonable expenses (including attorneys' fees)
and, if requested by Indemnitee, shall (within two business days of such
request) advance such expenses to Indemnitee, which are incurred by Indemnitee
in connection with any action brought by Indemnitee for (i) indemnification or
advance payment of Expenses by the Company under this Agreement or any other
agreement or Charter or By-Law provision now or hereafter in effect relating to
Claims for Indemnifiable Events and/or (ii) recovery under any directors'
liability insurance policies maintained by the Company, regardless of whether
Indemnitee ultimately is determined to be entitled to such indemnification,
advance expense payment or insurance recovery, as the case may be.

         5. Partial Indemnity, Etc. If Indemnitee is entitled under any
provision of this Agreement to indemnification by the Company for some or a
portion of the Expenses, judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in
settlement of a Claim but not, however, for all of the total amount thereof, the
Company shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee for the portion thereof to
which Indemnitee is entitled. Moreover, notwithstanding any other provision of
this Agreement, to the extent that Indemnitee has been successful on the merits
or otherwise in defense of any or all Claims relating in whole or in part to an
Indemnifiable Event or in defense of any issue or matter therein, including
dismissal without prejudice, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all
Expenses incurred in connection therewith.

         6. Burden of Proof. In connection with any determination by the
Reviewing Party or otherwise as to whether Indemnitee is entitled to be
indemnified hereunder the burden of proof shall be on the Company to establish
that Indemnitee is not so entitled.

         7. No Presumptions. For purposes of this Agreement, the termination of
any claim, action, suit or proceeding, by judgment, order, settlement (whether
with or without court approval) or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo
contendere, or its equivalent, shall not create a presumption that Indemnitee
did not meet any particular standard of conduct or have any particular belief or
that a court has determined that indemnification is not permitted by applicable
law. In addition, neither the failure of the Reviewing Party to have made a
determination as to whether Indemnitee has met any particular standard of
conduct or had any particular belief, nor an actual determination by the
Reviewing Party that Indemnitee has not met such standard of conduct or did not
have such belief, prior to the commencement of legal proceedings by Indemnitee
to secure a judicial determination that Indemnitee should be indemnified under
applicable law shall be a defense to Indemnitee's claim or create a presumption
that Indemnitee has not met any particular standard of conduct or did not have
any particular belief.

                                       5
<PAGE>   6
         8. Nonexclusivity, Etc. The rights of Indemnitee hereunder shall be in
addition to any other rights Indemnitee may have under the Charter, By-Laws or
the Delaware General Corporation Law or otherwise. To the extent that a change
in the Delaware General Corporation Law (whether by statute or judicial
decision) permits greater indemnification by agreement than would be afforded
currently under the Charter, By-Laws and this Agreement, it is the intent of the
parties hereto that Indemnitee shall enjoy by this Agreement the greater
benefits so afforded by such change.

         9. Liability Insurance. The Company shall maintain an insurance policy
or policies providing directors' liability insurance in an amount deemed
reasonably satisfactory by a majority of the Company's Board of Directors.
Indemnitee shall be covered by such policy or policies, in accordance with its
or their terms, to the maximum extent of the coverage available for any Company
director. Upon request of the Indemnitee, the Company shall provide satisfactory
proof of its compliance with this Section 9.

         10. Period of Limitations. No legal action shall be brought and no
cause of action shall be asserted by or in the right of the Company against
Indemnitee, Indemnitee's spouse, heirs, executors or personal or legal
representatives after the expiration of eighteen months from the date of
accrual of such cause of action, and any claim or cause of action of the Company
shall be extinguished and deemed released unless asserted by the timely filing
of a legal action within such two-year period; provided, however, that if any
shorter period of limitations is otherwise applicable to any such cause of
action such shorter period shall govern.

         11. Amendments, Etc. No supplement, modification or amendment of this
Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by both of the parties
hereto. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or
shall constitute a waiver of any other provisions hereof (whether or not
similar) nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver.

         12. Subrogation. In the event of payment under this Agreement, the
Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights
of recovery of Indemnitee, who shall execute all papers required and shall do
everything that may be necessary to secure such rights, including the execution
of such documents necessary to enable the Company effectively to bring suit to
enforce such rights.

         13. No Duplication of Payments. The Company shall not be liable under
this Agreement to make any payment in connection with any Claim made against
Indemnitee to the extent Indemnitee has otherwise actually received

                                       6
<PAGE>   7
payment (under any insurance policy, Charter or By-law provision or otherwise)
of the amounts otherwise indemnifiable hereunder.

         14. Binding Effect, Etc. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure
to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective
successors, assigns, including any direct or indirect successor by purchase,
merger, consolidation or otherwise to all or substantially all of the business
and/or assets of the Company, spouses, heirs, executors and personal and legal
representatives. This Agreement shall continue in effect regardless of whether
Indemnitee continues to serve as a director of the Company or of any other
enterprise at the Company's request.

         15. Severability. The provisions of this Agreement shall be severable
in the event that any of the provisions hereof (including any provision within a
single section, paragraph or sentence) is held by a court of competent
jurisdiction to be invalid, void or otherwise unenforceable in any respect, and
the validity and enforceability of any such provision in every other respect and
of the remaining provisions hereof shall not be in any way impaired and shall
remain enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

         16. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed
and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware applicable to
contracts made and to be performed in such state without giving effect to the
principles of conflicts of laws.

Section 104    Acts of Holders; Record Dates.

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

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

      The ownership of Securities shall be proved by the Security Register.

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

      The Company may set any day as a record date for the purpose of
determining the Holders of Outstanding Securities of any series entitled to
give, make or take any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
consent, waiver or other action provided or permitted by this Indenture to be
given, made or taken by Holders of Securities of such series, provided that the
Company may not set a record date for, and the provisions of this paragraph
shall not apply with respect to, the giving or making of any notice,
declaration, request or direction referred to in the next paragraph. If any
record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding
Securities of the relevant series on such record date, and no other Holders,
shall be entitled to take the relevant action, whether or not such Holders
remain Holders after such record date; provided that no such action shall be
effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date
by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of such
series on such record date. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to
prevent the Company from setting a new record date for any action for which a
record date has previously been set pursuant to this paragraph (whereupon the
record date previously set shall automatically and with no action by any Person
be canceled and of no effect), and nothing in this

                                       9
<PAGE>   17

paragraph shall be construed to render ineffective any action taken by Holders
of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of the relevant
series on the date such action is taken. Promptly after any record date is set
pursuant to this paragraph, the Company, at its own expense, shall cause notice
of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable
Expiration Date to be given to the Trustee in writing and to each Holder of
Securities of the relevant series in the manner set forth in Section 106.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Section 106    Notice to Holders; Waiver.

      Where this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of any event, such
notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided)
if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder affected
by such event, at his address as it appears in the Security Register, not later
than the latest date (if any), and not earlier than the earliest date (if any),
prescribed for the giving of such notice. In any case where notice to Holders is
given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any
notice so mailed, to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such
notice with respect to other Holders. Where this Indenture provides for notice
in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to
receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be
the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with
the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity
of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.

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

Section 107    Conflict with Trust Indenture Act.

      If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with a provision of
the Trust Indenture Act which is required under such Act to be a part of and
govern this Indenture, the latter provision shall control. If any provision of
this Indenture modifies or excludes any provision of the Trust Indenture Act
which may be so modified or excluded, the latter provision shall be deemed to
apply to this Indenture as so modified or to be excluded, as the case may be.

its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not.

Section 110    Separability Clause.

      In case any provision in this Indenture or in the Securities shall be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of
the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

Section 111    Benefits of Indenture.

      Nothing in this Indenture or in the Securities, express or implied, shall
give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and their successors hereunder
and the Holders, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim
under this Indenture.

Section 112    Governing Law.

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

Section 113    Legal Holidays.

      In any case where any Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated
Maturity of any Security shall not be a Business Day at any Place of Payment,
then (notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or of the Securities
(other than a provision of any Security which specifically states that such
provision shall apply in lieu of this Section)) payment of interest or principal
(and premium, if any) need not be made at such Place of Payment on such date,
but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day at such Place of Payment
with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date or
Redemption Date, or at the Stated Maturity; provided that no interest shall
accrue for the period from and after such interest Payment Date, Redemption Date
or Stated Maturity, as the case may be.

amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be
affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the
consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at
the time Outstanding of each series to be affected. The Indenture also contains
provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount
of the Securities of each series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the
Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company
with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the
Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of
this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all
future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration
of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not
notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security.

      As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder
of this Security shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with
respect to the Indenture or for the

                                       17
<PAGE>   25

appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any other remedy thereunder, unless
such Holder shall have previously given the Trustee written notice of a
continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities of this series, the
Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Securities of this
series at the time Outstanding shall have made written request to the Trustee to
institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered
the Trustee reasonable indemnity, and the Trustee shall not have received from
the Holders of a majority in principal amount of Securities of this series at
the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with such request, and shall have
failed to institute any such proceeding, for 60 days after receipt of such
notice, request and offer of indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any
suit instituted by the Holder of this Security for the enforcement of any
payment of principal hereof or any premium or interest hereon on or after the
respective due dates expressed herein.

      No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or
of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is
absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and any premium and interest
on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency,
herein prescribed.

      As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein
set forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable in the Security
Register, upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the
office or agency of the Company in any place where the principal of and any
premium and interest on this Security are payable, duly endorsed by, or
accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the
Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his
attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities of
this series and of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same
aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or
transferees.

      The Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form without
coupons in denominations of $_________ and any integral multiple thereof. As
provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth,
Securities of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount
of Securities of this series and of like tenor of a different authorized
denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

      No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or
exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

      Prior to due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer,
the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat
the Person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof for all
purposes, whether or not this Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the
Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

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

Section 302    Denominations.

      The Securities of each series shall be issuable only in registered form
without coupons and only in such denominations as shall be specified as
contemplated by Section 301. In the absence of any such specified denomination
with respect to the Securities of any series, the Securities of such series
shall be issuable in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof.

Section 303    Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating.

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

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

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

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

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

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

                                       22
<PAGE>   30

If such form or terms have been so established, the Trustee shall not be
required to authenticate such Securities if the issue of such Securities
pursuant to this Indenture will affect the Trustee's own rights, duties or
immunities under the Securities and this Indenture or otherwise in a manner
which is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee.

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

      Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication.

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

Section 304    Temporary Securities.

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

      If temporary Securities of any series are issued, the Company will cause
definitive Securities of that series to be prepared without unreasonable delay.
After the preparation of definitive Securities of such series, the temporary
Securities of such series shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities of
such series upon surrender of the temporary Securities of such series at the
office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment for that series, without
charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more
temporary Securities of any series, the Company shall execute and the Trustee
shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor one or more definitive
Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of like tenor
and aggregate principal amount. Until so exchanged, the temporary Securities

                                       23
<PAGE>   31

of any series shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this
Indenture as definitive Securities of such series and tenor.

Section 305    Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange.

      The Company shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the
Trustee a register (the register maintained in such office and in any other
office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment being herein sometimes
collectively referred to as the "Security Register") in which, subject to such
reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the
registration of Securities and of transfers of Securities. The Trustee is hereby
appointed "Security Registrar" for the purpose of registering Securities and
transfers of Securities as herein provided.

      Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Security of a series at
the office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment for that series, the
Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the
name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Securities of
the same series, of any authorized denominations and of like tenor and aggregate
principal amount.

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

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

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

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

      If the Securities of any series (or of any series and specified tenor) are
to be redeemed in part, the Company shall not be required (A) to issue, register
the transfer of or exchange any Securities of that series (or of that series and
specified tenor, as the case may be) during a period beginning at the opening of
business 15 days before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of any
such Securities selected for redemption under Section 1103 and ending at the

                                       24
<PAGE>   32

close of business on the day of such mailing, or (B) to register the transfer of
or exchange any Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except
the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part.

      The provisions of Clauses (1), (2), (3) and (4) below shall apply only to
Global Securities:

            (1) Each Global Security authenticated under this Indenture shall be
      registered in the name of the Depositary designated for such Global
      Security or a nominee thereof and delivered to such Depositary or a
      nominee thereof or custodian therefor, and each such Global Security shall
      constitute a single Security for all purposes of this Indenture.

            (2) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, no Global
      Security may be exchanged in whole or in part for Securities registered,
      and no transfer of a Global Security in whole or in part may be
      registered, in the name of any Person other than the Depositary for such
      Global Security or a nominee thereof unless (A) such Depositary (i) has
      notified the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as
      Depositary for such Global Security or (ii) has ceased to be a clearing
      agency registered under the Exchange Act, (B) there shall have occurred
      and be continuing an Event of Default with respect to such Global Security
      or (C) there shall exist such circumstances, if any, in addition to or in
      lieu of the foregoing as have been specified for this purpose as
      contemplated by Section 301.

            (3) Subject to Clause (2) above, any exchange of a Global Security
      for other Securities may be made in whole or in part, and all Securities
      issued in exchange for a Global Security or any portion thereof shall be
      registered in such names as the Depositary for such Global Security shall
      direct.

            (4) Every Security authenticated and delivered upon registration of
      transfer of, or in exchange for or in lieu of, a Global Security or any
      portion thereof, whether pursuant to this Section, Section 304, 306, 906
      or 1107 or otherwise, shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of,
      and shall be, a Global Security, unless such Security is registered in the
      name of a Person other than the Depositary for such Global Security or a
      nominee thereof.

Section 306    Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities.

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

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

                                       25
<PAGE>   33

bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen
Security, a new Security of the same series and of like tenor and principal
amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

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

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

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

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

Section 307    Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved.

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

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

            (1) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest
      to the Persons in whose names the Securities of such series (or their
      respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business
      on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which
      shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the
      Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid
      on each Security of such series and the date of the proposed payment, and
      at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of
      money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such
      Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee
      for such deposit prior to the date of the

                                       26
<PAGE>   34

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

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

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

Section 308    Persons Deemed Owners.

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

Section 309    Cancellation.

      All Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of
transfer or exchange or for credit against any sinking fund payment shall, if
surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee
and shall be promptly canceled by it. The Company may at any time deliver to the
Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and delivered
hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and may

                                       27
<PAGE>   35

deliver to the Trustee (or to any other Person for delivery to the Trustee) for
cancellation any Securities previously authenticated hereunder which the Company
has not issued and sold, and all Securities so delivered shall be promptly
canceled by the Trustee. No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in
exchange for any Securities canceled as provided in this Section, except as
expressly permitted by this Indenture. All canceled Securities held by the
Trustee shall be disposed of as directed by a Company Order.

Section 310    Computation of Interest.

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

(except as to any surviving rights of registration of transfer or exchange of
Securities herein expressly provided for), and the Trustee, at the expense of
the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and
discharge of this Indenture, when

            (1) either

                  (A)   all Securities theretofore authenticated and delivered
            (other than (i) Securities which have been destroyed, lost or stolen
            and which have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 306 and
            (ii) Securities for whose payment money has theretofore been
            deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Company
            and thereafter repaid to the Company or discharged from such trust,
            as provided in Section 1003) have been delivered to the Trustee for
            cancellation; or

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

                  (i)   have become due and payable, or

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

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

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

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

      Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions
      precedent herein provided for relating to the satisfaction and discharge

obligations of the Company to the Trustee under Section 607, the obligations of
the Trustee to any Authenticating Agent under Section 614 and, if money shall

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

      Restricted Subsidiary in furtherance of any such action; or

            (7) any other Event of Default provided with respect to Securities

Section 502    Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.

      If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in
Section 501(5) or 501(6)) with respect to Securities of any series at the time
Outstanding occurs and is continuing, then in every such case the Trustee or the
Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of
that series may declare the principal amount of all the Securities of that
series (or, if any Securities of that series are Original Issue Discount
Securities, such portion of the principal amount of such Securities as may be
specified by the terms thereof) to be due and payable immediately, by a notice
in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), and upon any
such declaration such principal amount (or specified amount) shall become
immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in Section 501(5)
or 501 (6) with respect to Securities of any series at the time Outstanding
occurs, the principal amount of all the Securities of that series (or, if any
Securities of that series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion
of the principal amount of such Securities as may be specified by the terms
thereof) shall automatically, and without any declaration or other action on the
part of the Trustee or any Holder, become immediately due and payable.

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

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

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

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

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

                                       31
<PAGE>   39

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

      and

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

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

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

      The Company covenants that if

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

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

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

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

Section 504    Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

      In case of any judicial proceeding relative to the Company (or any other
obligor upon the Securities), its property or its creditors, the Trustee shall
be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise, to
take any and all actions authorized under the Trust Indenture Act in order to
have claims of the Holders and the Trustee allowed in any such proceeding. In
particular, the Trustee shall be authorized to collect and receive any moneys or

                                       32
<PAGE>   40

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

      No provision of this Indenture 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; provided, however,
that the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders, vote for the election of a
trustee in bankruptcy or similar official and be a member of a creditors' or
other similar committee.

Section 505    Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Securities.

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

Section 506    Application of Money Collected.

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

            FIRST.   To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee under Section
      607; and

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

Section 507   Limitation on Suits.

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

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

              (2)    the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the
       Outstanding Securities of that series shall have made written request to
       the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default
       in its own name as Trustee hereunder;

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

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

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

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

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

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

Section 509   Restoration of Rights and Remedies.

       If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any
right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued
or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or
to such Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in
such proceeding, the Company, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored
severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter
all rights

                                       34

<PAGE>   42

and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though
no such proceeding had been instituted.

Section 510   Rights and Remedies Cumulative.

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

Section 511   Delay or Omission Not Waiver.

       No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Securities to
exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any
such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an

the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often
as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may
be.

Section 512   Control by Holders.

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

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

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

Section 513   Waiver of Past Defaults.

Outstanding Securities of any series may on behalf of the Holders of all the
Securities of such series waive any past default hereunder with respect to such

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

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

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

Section 514   Undertaking for Costs.

       In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this
Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or
omitted by it as Trustee, a court may require any party litigant in such suit to
file an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and may assess costs against
any such party litigant, in the manner and to the extent provided in the Trust
Indenture Act; provided that neither this Section nor the Trust Indenture Act
shall be deemed to authorize any court to require such an undertaking or to make
such an assessment in any suit instituted by the Company.

Section 515   Waiver of Usury, Stay or Extension Laws.

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

                                   ARTICLE SIX

                                   THE TRUSTEE

Section 601   Certain Duties and Responsibilities.

       The duties and responsibilities of the Trustee shall be as provided by
the Trust Indenture Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no provision of this
Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise
incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder,
or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable

                                       36
<PAGE>   44

grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against
such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. Whether or not therein
expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct
or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be
subject to the provisions of this Section.

Section 602   Notice of Defaults.

       If a default occurs hereunder with respect to Securities of any series,
the Trustee shall give the Holders of Securities of such series notice of such
default as and to the extent provided by the Trust Indenture Act; provided,
however, that in the case of any default of the character specified in Section
501(4) with respect to Securities of such series, no such notice to Holders
shall be given until at least 30 days after the occurrence thereof. For the
purpose of this Section, the term "default" means any event which is, or after
notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default with respect
to Securities of such series.

Section 603   Certain Rights of Trustee.

       Subject to the provisions of Section 601:

       presented by the proper party or parties;

       evidenced by a Board Resolution;

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

              (4)    the Trustee may consult 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;

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

                                       37
<PAGE>   45

              (6)    the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation
       into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate,
       statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction,
       consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or
       other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make
       such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it
       may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further
       inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books,
       records and premises of the Company, personally or by agent or attorney;
       and

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

Section 604   Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Securities.

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

Section 605   May Hold Securities.

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

Section 606   Money Held in Trust.

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

Section 607   Compensation and Reimbursement.

       The Company agrees

                                       38
<PAGE>   46

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

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

              (3)    to indemnify the Trustee for, and to hold it harmless
       against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence or
       bad faith on its part, arising out of or in connection with the

       the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim or liability
       in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or
       duties hereunder.

Section 608   Conflicting Interests.

       If the Trustee has or shall acquire a conflicting interest within the
meaning of the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee shall either eliminate such
interest or resign, to the extent and in the manner provided by, and subject to
the provisions of, the Trust Indenture Act and this Indenture. To the extent
permitted by such Act, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have a conflicting
interest by virtue of being a trustee under this Indenture with respect to
Securities of more than one series, a trustee under that certain indenture dated
November 14, 1995 by and between the Company and First National Bank of Chicago,
as trustee (currently named Bank One Trust Company, N. A.), or a trustee under
that certain indenture dated June 8, 1998 by and between the Company and First
National Bank of Chicago, as trustee.

Section 609   Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility.

       There shall at all times be one (and only one) Trustee hereunder with

capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000. If any such Person publishes
reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements
of its supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section
and to the extent permitted by the Trust Indenture Act, the combined capital and
surplus of such Person shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as
set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time
the Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall cease to be
eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, it shall resign
immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this
Article.

Section 610   Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor.

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

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

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

       If at any time:

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

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

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

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

         If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting,
or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause, with respect
to the Securities of one or more series, the Company, by a Board Resolution,
shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees with respect to the
Securities of that or those series (it being understood that any such successor
Trustee may be appointed with respect to the Securities of one or more or all of
such series and that at any time there shall be only one Trustee with respect to
the Securities of any particular series) and shall comply with the applicable
requirements of Section 611. If, within one year after such resignation, removal
or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee with
respect to the Securities of any series shall be appointed by Act of the Holders
of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series
delivered

                                       40
<PAGE>   48

to the Company and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed
shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment in accordance with the
applicable requirements of Section 611, become the successor Trustee with
respect to the Securities of such series and to that extent supersede the
successor Trustee appointed by the Company. If no successor Trustee with respect
to the Securities of any series shall have been so appointed by the Company or
the Holders and accepted appointment in the manner required by Section 611, any
Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of such series for at least
six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition
any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee
with respect to the Securities of such series.

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

Section 611   Acceptance of Appointment by Successor.

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

         In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with
respect to the Securities of one or more (but not all) series, the Company, the
retiring Trustee and each successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of
one or more series shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto
wherein each successor Trustee shall accept such appointment and which (1) shall
contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and
confirm to, and to vest in, each successor Trustee all the rights, powers,
trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that
or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates, (2)
if the retiring Trustee is not retiring with respect to all Securities, shall
contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm
that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with
respect to the Securities of that or those series as to which the retiring
Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the retiring Trustee, and
(3) shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be
necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts
hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or
in such supplemental indenture shall constitute such Trustees co-trustees of the
same trust and that each such Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts
hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered

                                       41
<PAGE>   49

by any other such Trustee; and upon the execution and delivery of such
supplemental indenture the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall
become effective to the extent provided therein and each such successor Trustee,
without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the
rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the
Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor
Trustee relates; but, on request of the Company or any successor Trustee, such
retiring Trustee shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor
Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder with
respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of
such successor Trustee relates.

       Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Company shall execute any
and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to
such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred to in the
first or second preceding paragraph, as the case may be.

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

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

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

Section 613   Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company.

       If and when the Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the Company (or
any other obligor upon the Securities), the Trustee shall be subject to the
provisions of the Trust Indenture Act regarding the collection of claims against
the Company (or any such other obligor).

Section 614   Appointment of Authenticating Agent.

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

                                       42
<PAGE>   50

authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. Wherever reference is made in this
Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Securities by the Trustee or the
Trustee's certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to
include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an
Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of
the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent shall be
acceptable to the Company and shall at all times be a corporation organized and
doing business under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof
or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to act as Authenticating
Agent, having a combined capital and surplus of not less than $50,000,000 and
subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State authority. If such
Authenticating Agent publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant
to law or to the requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then
for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such
Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as
set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time an
Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of this Section, such Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately
in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section.

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

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

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

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

                                       43
<PAGE>   51

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

the Trust Indenture Act.

       A copy of each such report shall, at the time of such transmission to
Holders, be filed by the Trustee with each stock exchange upon which any
Securities are listed, with the Commission and with the Company. The Company
will notify the Trustee when any Securities are listed on any stock exchange.

Section 704   Reports by Company.

       The Company shall file with the Trustee and the Commission, and transmit
to Holders, such information, documents and other reports, and such summaries
thereof, as may be required pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act at the times and

       assets of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary would become subject
       to a Lien which would not be permitted by Section 1008, the Company or,
       if applicable, the Successor Company, as the case may be, shall take such
       steps as shall be necessary effectively to secure the Securities equally

Securities.

              (9)    to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any
       provision herein which may be defective or inconsistent with any other

       or questions arising under this Indenture, provided that such action
       pursuant to this Clause (9) shall not adversely affect the interests of
       the Holders of Securities of any series.

Section 902   Supplemental Indentures With Consent of Holders.

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

              (1)    change the Stated Maturity of the principal of, or any
       instalment of principal of or interest on, any Security, or reduce the
       principal amount thereof or the rate of interest thereon or any premium

       which would be due and payable upon a declaration of acceleration of the
       Maturity thereof pursuant to Section 502, or change any Place of Payment
       where, or the coin or currency in which, any Security or any premium or

       or Section 1010, except to increase any such percentage or to provide
       that certain other provisions of this Indenture cannot be modified or
       waived without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security
       affected thereby; provided, however, that this clause shall not be deemed
       to require the consent of any Holder with respect to changes in the
       references to "the Trustee" and concomitant changes in this Section and
       Section 1010, or the deletion of this proviso, in accordance with the
       requirements of Sections 611 and 901(8).

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

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

Section 903   Execution of Supplemental Indentures.

       In executing, or accepting the additional trusts created by, any
supplemental indenture permitted by this Article or the modifications thereby of
the trusts created by this Indenture, the Trustee shall be provided, and

Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that the execution of such
supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture. The Trustee
may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such supplemental indenture
which affects the Trustee's own rights, duties or immunities under this
Indenture or otherwise.

Section 904   Effect of Supplemental Indentures.

       Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture under this Article, this

of Securities theretofore or thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder
shall be bound thereby.

Section 905   Conformity with Trust Indenture Act.

Section 906   Reference in Securities to Supplemental Indentures.

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

                                   ARTICLE TEN

                                    COVENANTS

Section 1001  Payment of Principal, Premium and Interest.

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

Section 1002  Maintenance of Office or Agency.

       The Company will maintain in each Place of Payment for any series of
Securities an office or agency where Securities of that series may be presented
or surrendered for payment, where Securities of that series may be surrendered
for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or
upon the Company in respect of the Securities of that series and this Indenture
may be served. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the
location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any
time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or
shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations,
surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust
Office of the Trustee, and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent
to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands.

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

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

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

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

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

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

       Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by
the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of or any premium or
interest on any Security of any series and remaining unclaimed for two years
after such principal, premium or interest has become due and payable shall be
paid to the Company on Company Request, or (if then held by the Company) shall
be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Security shall thereafter,
as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for payment thereof,
and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust
money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon
cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being
required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to
be published once, in a newspaper published in the English language, customarily
published on each Business Day and of general circulation in the City of New
York, New York, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date
specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such
publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid
to the Company.

Section 1004  Statement by Officers as to Default.

       The Company will deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of
each fiscal year of the Company ending after the date hereof, an Officers'
Certificate, stating whether or not to the best knowledge of the signers thereof
the Company is in default in the performance and observance of any of the terms,
provisions and conditions of this Indenture (without regard to any period of
grace or requirement of notice provided hereunder) and, if the Company shall be
in default, specifying all such defaults and the nature and status thereof of
which they may have knowledge.

Section 1005  Existence.

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

Section 1006  Maintenance of Properties.

       The Company will cause all properties used or useful in the conduct of
its business or the business of any Subsidiary to be maintained and kept in good
condition, repair and working order and supplied with all necessary equipment
and will cause to be made all necessary repairs, renewals, replacements,
betterments and improvements thereof, all as in the judgment of the Company may
be necessary so that the business carried on in connection therewith may be
properly and advantageously conducted at all times; provided, however, that
nothing in this Section shall prevent the Company from discontinuing the
operation or maintenance of any of such properties if such discontinuance is, in
the judgment of the Company, desirable in the conduct of its business or the
business of any Subsidiary and not disadvantageous in any material respect to
the Holders.

Section 1007  Payment of Taxes and Other Claims.

       The Company will pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged,
before the same shall become delinquent, (1) all taxes, assessments and
governmental charges levied or imposed upon the Company or any Subsidiary or
upon the income, profits or property of the Company or any Subsidiary, and (2)
all lawful claims for labor, materials and supplies which, if unpaid, might by
law become a lien upon the property of the Company or any Subsidiary; provided,
however, that the Company shall not be required to pay or discharge or cause to
be paid or discharged any such tax, assessment, charge or claim whose amount,
applicability or validity is being contested in good faith by appropriate
proceedings.

Section 1008  Limitation on Secured Debt.

       The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to,
incur or guarantee any evidence of indebtedness for money borrowed ("Debt")
secured by a Lien on any (i) Principal Property or any part thereof, (ii)
Capital Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary now owned or hereafter acquired by the
Company or any Restricted Subsidiary or (iii) Debt of a Restricted Subsidiary
owed to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, without in any
such case (i), (ii) or (iii) effectively providing that the Securities are
secured equally and ratably with (or, at the Company's option, prior to) such
secured Debt and any other Debt required to be so secured, unless the aggregate
amount of all such secured Debt, plus all Attributable Debt of the Company and
its Restricted Subsidiaries with respect to Sale and Leaseback transactions
involving Principal Properties (with the exception of such transactions which
are excluded by the second paragraph of Section 1009), would not exceed 10% of
Consolidated Net Tangible Assets.

       The foregoing restriction shall not apply to, and there will be excluded
from Debt in any computation under such restriction, (i) Debt secured by a Lien
in favor of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, (ii) Debt secured by a Lien

incurred or guaranteed to finance the acquisition of property, Capital Stock or
Debt, or to finance construction on, or improvement or expansion of, property,
which Debt is incurred within 180 days of such acquisition or completion of
construction, improvement or expansion, and is secured solely by a Lien on the
property, Capital Stock or Debt acquired, constructed, improved or expanded, (v)
Debt consisting of industrial revenue or pollution control bonds or similar
financing secured solely by a Lien on the property the subject thereof, or (vi)
any extension, renewal or replacement of any Debt referred to in the foregoing
clauses (iii) or (iv).

Section 1009  Limitation on Sale and Leaseback Transactions.

       Neither the Company nor any Restricted Subsidiary will enter into any
Sale and Leaseback Transaction involving any Principal Property or any part
thereof after the date of original issuance of the Securities unless the
aggregate amount of all Attributable Debt of the Company and its Restricted
Subsidiaries with respect to such transactions plus all secured Debt to which
the restrictions described in Section 1008 apply would not exceed 10% of
Consolidated Net Tangible Assets.

       The foregoing restriction shall not apply to, and there shall be excluded
from Attributable Debt in any computation under such restriction, any Sale and
Leaseback Transaction if (i) the lease is for a period of not in excess of three
years, including renewal rights, (ii) the lease secures or relates to industrial
revenue or pollution control bonds or similar financing, (iii) the transaction
is between the Company and a Restricted Subsidiary or between Restricted
Subsidiaries, or (iv) the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, within 180 days

<PAGE>   61

Principal Property leased or (B) the fair market value of the Principal Property
leased either to (1) the retirement of Securities, other Funded Debt of the
Company ranking on a parity with the Securities, or Funded Debt of a Restricted
Subsidiary or (2) the purchase of other property which will constitute a
Principal Property having a value at least equal to the value of the Principal
Property leased.

Section 1010  Waiver of Certain Covenants.

       Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for
Securities of such series, the Company may, with respect to the Securities of
any series, omit in any particular instance to comply with any term, provision
or condition set forth in any covenant provided pursuant to Section 301(16),
901(2) or 901(7) for the benefit of the Holders of such series or in any of
Sections 1008 to 1009, inclusive, if before the time for such compliance the
Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities
of such series shall, by Act of such Holders, either waive such compliance in
such instance or generally waive compliance with such term, provision or
condition, but no such waiver shall extend to or affect such term, provision or
condition except to the extent so expressly waived, and, until such waiver shall
become effective, the obligations of the Company and the duties of the Trustee
in respect of any such term, provision or condition shall remain in full force
and effect.

                                 ARTICLE ELEVEN

                            REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES

Section 1101  Applicability of Article.

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

Section 1102  Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee.

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

                                       54
<PAGE>   62

Company shall furnish the Trustee with an Officers' Certificate evidencing
compliance with such restriction.

Section 1103  Selection by Trustee of Securities to Be Redeemed.

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

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

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

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

Section 1104  Notice of Redemption.

       Notice of redemption shall be given 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, at his address appearing in the
Security Register.

       All notices of redemption shall state:

              (1)    the Redemption Date,

              (2)    the Redemption Price,

                                       55
<PAGE>   63

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

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

              (5)    the place or places where each such Security is to be
       surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price, and

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

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

Section 1105  Deposit of Redemption Price.

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

Section 1106  Securities Payable on Redemption Date.

       Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Securities so to
be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the
Redemption Price therein specified, and from and after such date (unless the
Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued
interest) such Securities shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any
such Security for redemption in accordance with said notice, such Security shall
be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price, together with accrued interest
to the Redemption Date; provided, however, that, unless otherwise specified as
contemplated by Section 301, installments of interest whose Stated Maturity is
on or prior to the Redemption Date will be payable to the Holders of such
Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities, registered as such at the
close of business on the relevant Record Dates according to their terms and the
provisions of Section 307.

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

Section 1107  Securities Redeemed in Part.

       Any Security which is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at
a Place of Payment therefor (with, if the Company or the Trustee so requires,
due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to
the Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney
duly authorized in writing), and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee
shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security without service
charge, a new Security or Securities of the same series and of like tenor, 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.

                                 ARTICLE TWELVE

                                  SINKING FUNDS

Section 1201  Applicability of Article.

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

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

Section 1202  Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments with Securities.

       The Company (1) may deliver Outstanding Securities of a series (other
than any previously called for redemption) and (2) may apply as a credit
Securities of a series which have been redeemed either at the election of the
Company pursuant to the terms of such Securities or through the application of
permitted optional sinking fund payments pursuant to the terms of such
Securities, in each case in satisfaction of all or any part of any sinking fund
payment with respect to any Securities of such series required to be made
pursuant to the terms of such Securities as and to the extent provided for by
the terms of such Securities; provided that the Securities to be so credited
have not been previously so credited. The Securities to be so credited shall be
received and credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the Redemption Price,
as specified in the Securities so to be redeemed, for redemption through
operation of the sinking fund and the amount of such sinking fund payment shall
be reduced accordingly.

Section 1203  Redemption of Securities for Sinking Fund.

       Not less than 45 days prior to each sinking fund payment date for any
Securities, the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate
specifying the amount of the next ensuing sinking fund payment for such
Securities pursuant to the terms of such Securities, the portion thereof, if
any, which is to be satisfied by payment of cash and the portion thereof, if
any, which is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting Securities pursuant to
Section 1202 and will also deliver to the Trustee any Securities to be so
delivered. Not less than 45 days prior to each such sinking fund payment date,
the Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed upon such sinking fund
payment date in the manner specified in Section 1103 and cause notice of the
redemption thereof to be given in the name of and at the expense of the Company
in the manner provided in Section 1104. Such notice having been duly given, the
redemption of such Securities shall be made upon the terms and in the manner
stated in Sections 1106 and 1107.

                                ARTICLE THIRTEEN

                       DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE

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

       The Company may elect, at its option at any time, to have Section 1302 or
Section 1303 applied to any Securities or any series of Securities, as the case
may be, designated pursuant to Section 301 as being defeasible pursuant to such
Section 1302 or 1303, in accordance with any applicable requirements provided
pursuant to Section 301 and upon compliance with the conditions set forth below
in this Article. Any such election shall be evidenced by a Board Resolution or
in another manner specified as contemplated by Section 301 for such Securities.

Section 1302  Defeasance and Discharge.

       Upon the Company's exercise of its option (if any) to have this Section
applied to any Securities or any series of Securities, as the case may be, the
Company shall be deemed to have been discharged from its obligations with
respect to such Securities as provided in this Section on and after the date the
conditions set forth in Section 1304 are satisfied (hereinafter called
"Defeasance"). For this purpose, such Defeasance means that the Company shall be
deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by such
Securities and to have satisfied all its other obligations under such Securities
and this Indenture insofar as such Securities are concerned (and the Trustee, at
the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the
same), subject to the following which shall survive until otherwise terminated
or discharged hereunder: (1) the rights of Holders of such Securities to
receive, solely from the trust fund described in Section 1304 and as more fully
set forth in such Section, payments in respect of the principal of and any
premium and interest on such Securities when payments are due, (2) the Company's
obligations with respect to such Securities under Sections 304, 305, 306, 1002
and 1003, (3) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of

                                       58
<PAGE>   66

the Trustee hereunder and (4) this Article. Subject to compliance with this
Article, the Company may exercise its option (if any) to have this Section
applied to any Securities notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option (if
any) to have Section 1303 applied to such Securities.

Section 1303  Covenant Defeasance.

       Upon the Company's exercise of its option (if any) to have this Section
applied to any Securities or any series of Securities, as the case may be, (1)
the Company shall be released from its obligations under Section 801(3),
Sections 1005 through 1009, inclusive, and any covenants provided pursuant to
Section 301(16), 901(2) or 901(7) for the benefit of the Holders of such
Securities and (2) the occurrence of any event specified in Sections 501(4)
(with respect to any of Section 801(3), Sections 1005 through 1009, inclusive,
and any such covenants provided pursuant to Section 301(16), 901(2) or 901(7)),
and 501(7) shall be deemed not to be or result in an Event of Default, in each
case with respect to such Securities as provided in this Section on and after
the date the conditions set forth in Section 1304 are satisfied (hereinafter
called "Covenant Defeasance"). For this purpose, such Covenant Defeasance means
that, with respect to such Securities, the Company may omit to comply with and
shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set
forth in any such specified Section (to the extent so specified in the case of
Section 501(4)), whether directly or indirectly by reason of any reference
elsewhere herein to any such Section or by reason of any reference in any such
Section to any other provision herein or in any other document, but the
remainder of this Indenture and such Securities shall be unaffected thereby.

Section 1304  Conditions to Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

       The following shall be the conditions to the application of Section 1302
or Section 1303 to any Securities or any series of Securities, as the case may
be:

              (1)    The Company shall irrevocably have deposited or caused to
       be deposited with the Trustee (or another trustee which satisfies the
       requirements contemplated by Section 609 and agrees to comply with the
       provisions of this Article applicable to it) as trust funds in trust for
       the purpose of making the following payments, specifically pledged as
       security for, and dedicated solely to, the benefits of the Holders of
       such Securities, (A) money in an amount, or (B) U.S. Government
       Obligations which through the scheduled payment of principal and interest
       in respect thereof in accordance with their terms will provide, not later
       than one day before the due date of any payment, money in an amount, or
       (C) a combination thereof, in each case sufficient, in the opinion of a
       nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in
       a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay and
       discharge, and which shall be applied by the Trustee (or any such other
       qualifying trustee) to pay and discharge, the principal of and any
       premium and interest on such Securities on the respective Stated
       Maturities, in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and such
       Securities. As used herein, "U.S. Government Obligation" means (x) any
       security which is (i) a direct obligation of the United States of America
       for the payment of which the full faith and

                                       59
<PAGE>   67

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

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

              (3)    In the event of an election to have Section 1303 apply to
       any Securities or any series of Securities, as the case may be, the
       Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the
       effect that the Holders of such Securities will not recognize gain or
       loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of the deposit and
       Covenant Defeasance to be effected with respect to such Securities and
       will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amount, in the same
       manner and at the same times as would be the case if such deposit and
       Covenant Defeasance were not to occur.

              (4)    The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an
       Officers' Certificate to the effect that neither such Securities nor any
       other Securities of the same series, if then listed on any securities
       exchange, will be delisted as a result of such deposit.

              (5)    No event which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both
       would become, an Event of Default with respect to such Securities or any
       other Securities shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of
       such deposit or, with regard to any such event specified in Sections
       501(5) and (6), at any time on or prior to the 90th day after the date of
       such deposit (it being understood that this condition shall not be deemed
       satisfied until after such 90th day).

                                       60
<PAGE>   68

              (6)    Such Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not cause the
       Trustee to have a conflicting interest within the meaning of the Trust
       Indenture Act (assuming all Securities are in default within the meaning
       of such Act).

              (7)    Such Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in
       a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other
       agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which it is
       bound.

              (8)    Such Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in
       the trust arising from such deposit constituting an investment company
       within the meaning of the Investment Company Act unless such trust shall
       be registered under such Act or exempt from registration thereunder.

              (9)    The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an
       Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all
       conditions precedent with respect to such Defeasance or Covenant
       Defeasance have been complied with.

Section 1305  Deposited Money and U.S. Government Obligations to Be Held in
              Trust; Miscellaneous Provisions.

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

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

       Anything in this Article to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee
shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon Company Request any
money or U.S. Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 1304 with
respect to any Securities which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm
of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof
delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the amount thereof which would then
be required to be deposited to effect the Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance, as
the case may be, with respect to such Securities.

                                       61
<PAGE>   69

Section 1306  Reinstatement.

       If the Trustee or the Paying Agent is unable to apply any money in
accordance with this Article with respect to any Securities by reason of any
order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining
or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the obligations under this
Indenture and such Securities from which the Company has been discharged or
released pursuant to Section 1302 or 1303 shall be revived and reinstated as
though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article with respect to such
Securities, until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply
all money held in trust pursuant to Section 1305 with respect to such Securities
in accordance with this Article; provided, however, that if the Company makes
any payment of principal of or any premium or interest on any such Security
following such reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated
to the rights (if any) of the Holders of such Securities to receive such payment
from the money so held in trust.
