All Securities of any one series and the Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto
shall be substantially identical except as to denomination and except as may
otherwise be provided by or pursuant to such Board Resolution, and set forth in
such Officers' Certificate, or in any such indenture supplemental hereto. If any
of the terms of a series of Securities are established by action taken to a
Board Resolution, a copy of such Board Resolution shall be delivered to the

attested by the manual or facsimile signature of its Secretary or one of its

            (b) At any time and from time to time after the execution and
delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities, with appropriate
Coupons, if any, of any series, executed by the Company, to the Trustee for

Coupons) to be authenticated and the date on which the original issue of
Securities (and Coupons) is to be authenticated.

            (c) In authenticating the first Securities and Coupons, if any, of
any series and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in

(subject to Section 11.02) shall be fully protected in relying upon:

            (i) the supplemental indenture or Board Resolution relating thereto
      and, if applicable, an appropriate record of any action taken pursuant to
      such supplemental indenture or resolution, certified by the Secretary or
      an Assistant Secretary of the Company;

            (ii) an Officer's Certificate as to the absence of any event that
      is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of
      Default; and

            (iii) an Opinion of Counsel prepared in accordance with Section
      16.02, which shall state:

            (A)that the form and terms of such Securities have been established
      by or pursuant to one or more Board Resolutions, by a supplemental
      indenture as permitted by Section 14.01(m), or by both such resolution or
      resolutions and such supplemental indenture, in conformity with the
      provisions of this Indenture;

            (B)that the supplemental indenture, if any, when executed and
      delivered by the Company, the Guarantor and the Trustee, will constitute a
      valid and legally binding obligation of each of the Company and the
      Guarantor;

            (C)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, and will be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture;

            (D)that the Company has the corporate power to issue the Securities,
      and has duly taken all necessary action with respect to such issuance;

            (E)that the Guarantor has the corporate power to guarantee the
      Securities, and has duly taken all necessary action with respect to such
      guarantee;

            (F)that the issuance of the Securities will not contravene the
      certificate of incorporation or By-laws of the Company or the Guarantor or
      result in any violation of any of the terms or provisions of any law or
      regulation or of any indenture, mortgage or other agreement by which the
      Company or the Guarantor is bound and, with respect to the Guarantor,
      under which long-term debt of the Guarantor as reflected in its latest
      financial statements on file with the SEC is outstanding;

            (G)that all requirements of the Indenture applicable to the Company
      in respect of the execution and delivery by the Company of the Securities
      and applicable to the Guarantor in respect of the Guarantee and of such
      supplemental indenture, if any, have

                                       17
<PAGE>
      been complied with and, that assuming (a) all requisite corporate
      authorization on the part of the Trustee, (b) continued compliance by the
      Trustee with the terms of the Indenture specifically applicable to the
      Trustee, and (c) due authentication and delivery of the Securities by the
      Trustee, the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture, if
      any, will not violate the terms of this Indenture, and that, other than
      compliance with federal and state securities laws, no authorization,
      approval or consent by any regulatory or statutory or other public
      authority is required in connection with the execution and delivery of
      such supplemental indenture or for the creation, issuance, authentication
      and delivery of the Securities pursuant to the Indenture;

            (H)all conditions precedent provided for in the Indenture (including
      any covenants compliance with which constitutes a condition precedent) to
      the Trustee's authentication and delivery of the Securities have been
      complied with; and

            (I)the amount of Securities Outstanding of such series, together
      with the amount of such Securities, does not exceed any limit established
      under the terms of this Indenture on the amount of Securities of such
      series that may be authenticated and delivered.

            (d) The Trustee shall have the right to decline to authenticate and
deliver the Securities under this Section if the issue of the 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.

            (e) Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication,
except as otherwise provided pursuant to Section 3.01 with respect to the
Securities of such series.

            (f) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.01 and of this
Section 3.03, if all of the Securities of a series are not to be originally
issued at the same time, then the documents required to be delivered pursuant to
this Section 3.03 must be delivered only once, prior to the authentication and
delivery of the first Security of such series; provided, however, that any
subsequent request by the Company to the Trustee to authenticate Securities of
such series upon original issuance shall constitute a representation and
warranty by the Company and the Guarantor that, as of the date of such request,
the statements made in the Officers' Certificate delivered pursuant to this
Section 3.03 shall be true and correct as if made on such date.

            (g) If the Company shall establish pursuant to Section 3.01 that the
Securities of a series are to be issued in whole or in part in the form of one
or more Global Securities, then the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver one or more Global Securities that (i) shall represent
an aggregate amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities of such series to be represented by one or more Global Securities,
(ii) shall be registered, if in registered form, in the name of the Depositary
for such Global Security or Securities or the nominee of such Depositary, (iii)
shall be delivered by the Trustee to such Depositary or pursuant to such
Depositary's instruction and (iv) shall bear a legend substantially to the
following effect: "Unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for the
individual Securities represented hereby, this Global Security may not be
transferred except as a whole by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary
or by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the
Depositary or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or
a nominee of such successor Depositary." The aggregate principal

                                       18
<PAGE>
amount of each Global Security may from time to time be increased or decreased
by adjustments made on the records of the Security Custodian, as provided in
this Indenture.

            (h) Each Depositary designated pursuant to Section 3.01 for a Global
Security in registered form must, at the time of its designation and at all
times while it serves as such Depositary, be a clearing agency registered under
the Exchange Act and any other applicable statute or regulation.

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

            (j) No Security or Coupon appertaining thereto 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 one of the forms provided for herein duly executed by the
Trustee or by an Authenticating Agent by manual signature of one of its
Responsible Officers, and such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive
evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security (and any Coupons
appertaining thereto) has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and is
entitled to the benefits of this Indenture. Except as permitted by Section 3.05,
3.07 or 3.08, the Trustee shall not authenticate and deliver any Bearer Security
unless all appurtenant Coupons then matured have been cleared and canceled.

            SECTION 3.04. Temporary Securities.

            (a) Pending the preparation of definitive Securities of any series,
the Company may execute, and upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate
and deliver, temporary Securities that are printed, lithographed, typewritten,
mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination,
substantially of the tenor of the definitive Securities in lieu of which they
are issued, in registered form or, if authorized, in bearer form with one or
more Coupons or without Coupons, and with such appropriate insertions,
omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers executing such
Securities and Coupons, if any, may determine, as conclusively evidenced by
their execution of such Securities and Coupons. Any such temporary Security may
be in global form, representing all or a portion of the Outstanding Securities
of such series. Every such temporary Security shall be executed by the Company
and shall be authenticated and delivered by the Trustee upon the same conditions
and in substantially the same manner, and with the same effect, as the
definitive Security or Securities in lieu of which it is issued.

                                       19
<PAGE>
            (b) If temporary Securities of any series are issued, the Company
will cause definitive Securities of such series to be prepared without
unreasonable delay. Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section
3.01(q)(iii) with respect to a series of Securities issuable as Bearer
Securities or as one or more Global Securities representing individual Bearer
Securities of the series, (a) 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
such series, without charge to the holder, except as provided in Section 3.06 in
connection with a transfer and except that a Person receiving definitive Bearer
Securities shall bear the cost of insurance, postage, transportation and the
like unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.01, and (b) upon surrender
for cancellation of any one or more temporary Securities of any series
(accompanied by any unmatured Coupons appertaining thereto), the Company shall
execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a
like principal amount of definitive Securities of the same series of authorized
denominations and of like tenor; provided, however, that no definitive Bearer
Security shall be delivered in exchange for a temporary Registered Security; and
provided, further, that delivery of a Global Security representing individual
Bearer Securities or a Bearer Security shall occur only outside the United
States. Until so exchanged, temporary Securities of any series shall in all
respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive
Securities of such series, except as otherwise specified as contemplated by
Section 3.01(q)(ii) with respect to the payment of interest on Global Securities
in temporary form.

            (c) Unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.01, the Company
will execute and deliver each definitive Global Security representing individual
Bearer Securities and each Bearer Security to the Trustee at its principal
office in London or such other place outside the United States specified
pursuant to Section 3.01.

            (d) Upon any exchange of a portion of a temporary Global Security
for a definitive Global Security or for the individual Securities represented
thereby pursuant to this Section 3.04 or Section 3.06, the temporary Global
Security shall be endorsed by the Trustee to reflect the reduction of the
principal amount evidenced thereby, whereupon the principal amount of such
temporary Global Security shall be reduced for all purposes by the amount so
exchanged and endorsed.

            SECTION 3.05. Registrar and Paying Agent.

            (a) The Company will maintain an office or agency in the Borough of
Manhattan, the City of New York, or in any other office or agency of the Company
in a Place of Payment, where Registered Securities may be presented for
registration or presented and surrendered for registration of transfer or of
exchange (the "Registrar"), where Registered Securities may be presented for
payment (the "Paying Agent") and for the service of notices and demands to or
upon the Company in respect of the Registered Securities and of their transfer
or exchange. The Registrar shall keep a security register for the registration
of and the registration of transfer or of exchange of the Registered Securities
(the registers 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 "Register"), as in this Indenture provided, which Register shall at
all reasonable times be open for inspection by the Trustee. Such Register shall
be in written form or in any other form capable of being converted into written
form within a reasonable time.

                                       20
<PAGE>
The Company may have one or more co-Registrars and one or more additional paying
agents. The term "Registrar" includes any co-registrar and the term "Paying
Agent" includes any additional paying agent.

            (b) The Company shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement
with any Registrar, Paying Agent or co-Registrar not a party to this Indenture.
The agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to
such agent. The Company shall notify the Trustee of the name and address of each
such agent. If the Company fails to maintain a Registrar or Paying Agent, the
Trustee shall act as such and shall be entitled to appropriate compensation
therefor pursuant to Section 11.01. The Company or the Guarantor may act as
Paying Agent, Registrar, co-Registrar or transfer agent.

            (c) The Company hereby appoints the Trustee at its Corporate Trust
Office as Registrar, Paying Agent and agent for service of demands and notices
in connection with the Securities and this Indenture, until such time as another
Person is appointed as such.

            SECTION 3.06. Transfer and Exchange .

            (a) Transfer.

            (i) Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Registered
      Security of any series at the Registrar the Company shall execute, and the
      Trustee or any Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver, in the
      name of the designated transferee, one or more new Registered Securities
      of the same series for like aggregate principal amount of any authorized
      denomination or denominations. The transfer of any Security shall not be
      valid as against the Company, the Guarantor or the Trustee unless
      registered at the Registrar by the registered holder, or by his or her
      attorney duly authorized in writing. Except as otherwise specified
      pursuant to Section 3.01, in no event may Registered Securities, including
      Registered Securities received in exchange for Bearer Securities, be
      exchanged for Bearer Securities.

            (ii) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, unless and
      until it is exchanged in whole or in part for the individual Securities
      represented thereby, a Global Security representing all or a portion of
      the Securities of a series may not be transferred except as a whole by the
      Depositary for such series to a nominee of such Depositary or by a nominee
      of such Depositary to such Depositary or another nominee of such
      Depositary or by such Depositary or any such nominee to a successor
      Depositary for such series or a nominee of such successor Depositary.

            (b) Exchange.

            (i) At the option of the holder, Registered Securities of any series
      (other than a Global Security, except as set forth below) may be exchanged
      for other Registered Securities of the same series for like aggregate
      principal amount of any authorized denomination or denominations, upon
      surrender of the Registered Securities to be exchanged at the Registrar.

                                       21
<PAGE>

            (ii) At the option of the holder, except as otherwise specified as
      contemplated by Section 3.01(o) or 3.01(q) with respect to a Global
      Security representing Bearer Securities, Bearer Securities of any series
      may be exchanged for Registered Securities (if the Securities of such
      series are issuable as Registered Securities) or Bearer Securities of the
      same series, for like aggregate principal amount of any authorized
      denomination or denominations, upon surrender of the Bearer Securities to
      be exchanged at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such
      purpose, with all unmatured Coupons and all matured Coupons in Default
      thereto appertaining; provided, however, that delivery of a Bearer
      Security shall occur only outside the United States. If the holder of a
      Bearer Security is unable to produce any such unmatured Coupon or Coupons
      or matured Coupon or Coupons in Default, such exchange may be effected if
      the Bearer Securities are accompanied by payment in funds acceptable to
      the Company and the Trustee in an amount equal to the face amount of such
      missing Coupon or Coupons, or the surrender of such missing Coupon or
      Coupons may be waived by the Company and the Trustee if there be furnished
      to them such security or indemnity as they may require to save each of
      them and any Paying Agent harmless. If thereafter the holder of such
      Bearer Security shall surrender to any Paying Agent any such missing
      Coupon in respect of which such a payment shall have been made, such
      holder shall be entitled to receive the amount of such payment; provided,
      however, that, except as otherwise provided in Section 3.08, interest
      represented by Coupons shall be payable only upon presentation and
      surrender of those Coupons at an office or agency located outside the
      United States.

            (iii) Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the
      Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the
      Securities that the holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

            (iv) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the exchange of Bearer
      Securities for Registered Securities will be subject to the provisions of
      United States income tax laws and regulations applicable to Securities in
      effect at the time of such exchange.

            (c) Exchange of Global Securities for Individual Securities. Except
as provided below, owners of beneficial interests in Global Securities will not
be entitled to receive individual Securities.

            (i) Individual Securities shall be issued to all owners of
      beneficial interests in a Global Security in exchange for such interests
      if:

            (A) at any time the Depositary for the Securities of a series
      notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as
      Depositary for the Securities of such series or if at any time the
      Depositary for the Securities of such series shall no longer be eligible
      under Section 3.03(h) and, in each case, a successor Depositary is not
      appointed by the Company within 90 days of such notice, or

            (B) the Company executes and delivers to the Trustee and the
      Registrar an Officers' Certificate stating that such Global Security shall
      be so exchangeable.

      In connection with the exchange of an entire Global Security for
individual Securities pursuant to this subsection (c), such Global Security
shall be deemed to be surrendered to the

                                       22
<PAGE>

Trustee for cancellation, and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee, upon
receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of individual
Securities of such series, will authenticate and deliver to each beneficial
owner identified by the Depositary in exchange for its beneficial interest in
such Global Security, an equal aggregate principal amount of individual
Securities of authorized denominations.

            (ii) The owner of a beneficial interest in a Global Security will be
      entitled to receive an individual Security in exchange for such interest
      if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Upon receipt by the
      Security Custodian and Registrar of instructions from the holder of a
      Global Security directing the Security Custodian and Registrar to (x)
      issue one or more individual Securities in the amounts specified to the
      owner of a beneficial interest in such Global Security and (y) debit or
      cause to be debited an equivalent amount of beneficial interest in such
      Global Security, subject to the rules and regulations of the Depositary:

            (A) the Security Custodian and Registrar shall notify the Company
      and the Trustee of such instructions, identifying the owner and amount of
      such beneficial interest in such Global Security;

            (B) the Company shall promptly execute and the Trustee, upon receipt
      of a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of individual
      Securities of such series, shall authenticate and deliver to such
      beneficial owner individual Securities in an equivalent amount to such
      beneficial interest in such Global Security; and

            (C) the Security Custodian and Registrar shall decrease such Global
      Security by such amount in accordance with the foregoing.

      In the event that the individual Securities are not issued to each such
beneficial owner promptly after the Registrar has received a request from the
holder of a Global Security to issue such individual Securities, the Company
expressly acknowledges, with respect to the right of any holder to pursue a
remedy pursuant to Section 7.07 hereof, the right of any beneficial holder of
Securities to pursue such remedy with respect to the portion of the Global
Security that represents such beneficial holder's Securities as if such
individual Securities had been issued.

            (iii) If specified by the Company pursuant to Section 3.01 with
      respect to a series of Securities, the Depositary for such series of
      Securities may surrender a Global Security for such series of Securities
      in exchange in whole or in part for individual Securities of such series
      on such terms as are acceptable to the Company and such Depositary.
      Thereupon, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate
      and deliver, without service charge,

            (A)to each Person specified by such Depositary a new individual
      Security or Securities of the same series, of any authorized denomination
      as requested by such Person in aggregate principal amount equal to and in
      exchange for such Person's beneficial interest in the Global Security; and

                                       23
<PAGE>

            (B)to such Depositary a new Global Security in a denomination equal
      to the difference, if any, between the principal amount of the surrendered
      Global Security and the aggregate principal amount of individual
      Securities delivered to holders thereof.

            (iv) In any exchange provided for in clauses (i) through (iii), the
      Company will execute and the Trustee will authenticate and deliver
      individual Securities (a) in registered form in authorized denominations,
      if the Securities of such series are issuable as Registered Securities,
      (b) in bearer form in authorized denominations, with or without Coupons
      attached, if the Securities of such series are issuable as Bearer
      Securities or (c) as either Registered or Bearer Securities, if the
      Securities of such series are issuable in either form; provided, however,
      that individual Bearer Securities shall be delivered in exchange for a
      Global Security only in accordance with the procedures specified pursuant
      to Section 3.01.

            (v) Upon the exchange of a Global Security for individual
      Securities, such Global Security shall be canceled by the Trustee.
      Individual Registered Securities issued in exchange for a Global Security
      pursuant to this Section shall be registered in such names and in such
      authorized denominations as the Depositary for such Global Security,
      pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or
      otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee. The Trustee shall deliver such
      Registered Securities to the Persons in whose names such Registered
      Securities are so registered. The Trustee shall deliver individual Bearer
      Securities issued in exchange for a Global Security pursuant to this
      Section to the Persons and in such authorized denominations as the
      Depositary for such Global Security, pursuant to instructions from its
      direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee;
      provided, however, that individual Bearer Securities shall be delivered in
      exchange for a Global Security only in accordance with the procedures as
      may be specified pursuant to Section 3.01.

            (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the exchange of Bearer Securities
for Registered Securities will be subject to the provisions of United States
income tax laws and regulations applicable to Securities in effect at the time
of such exchange.

            (e) All Securities issued upon any transfer or exchange of
Securities shall be valid obligations of the Company (and, as with respect to
the Guarantee, the Guarantor) evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same
benefits under this Indenture, as the Securities surrendered for such
registration of transfer or exchange.

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

            (g) No service charge will be made for any registration of transfer
or exchange of Securities except as provided in Section 3.04(b) or 3.07. The
Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, assessment or
other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any
registration, transfer or

                                       24
<PAGE>
exchange of Securities, other than those expressly provided in this Indenture to
be made at the Company's own expense or without expense or without charge to the
holders.

            (h) The Company shall not be required to (i) register, transfer or
exchange Securities of any series during a period beginning at the opening of
business 15 days before the day of the transmission of a notice of redemption of
Securities of such series selected for redemption under Section 4.03 and ending
at the close of business on the day of such transmission, or (ii) register,
transfer or exchange any Security so selected for redemption in whole or in
part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part;
provided, however, that, if specified pursuant to Section 4.02, any Bearer
Securities of any series that are exchangeable for Registered Securities and
that are called for redemption pursuant to Section 4.02 may, to the extent
permitted by applicable law, be exchanged for one or more Registered Securities
of such series during the period preceding the Redemption Date.

            (i) Prior to the due presentation for registration of transfer or
exchange of any Security, the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee, the Paying
Agent, the Registrar or any co-Registrar may deem and treat the Person in whose
name a Security is registered as the absolute owner of such Security (whether or
not such Security shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership
or other writing thereon) for all purposes whatsoever, and none of the Company,
the Guarantor, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Registrar or any co-Registrar
shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

            (j) In case a successor Company ("Successor Company") has executed
an indenture supplemental hereto with the Trustee pursuant to Article Fourteen,
any of the Securities authenticated or delivered pursuant to such transaction
may, from time to time, at the request of the Successor Company, be exchanged
for other Securities executed in the name of the Successor Company with such
changes in phraseology and form as may be appropriate, but otherwise identical
to the Securities surrendered for such exchange and of like principal amount;
and the Trustee, upon Company Order of the Successor Company, shall authenticate
and deliver Securities as specified in such order for the purpose of such
exchange. If Securities shall at any time be authenticated and delivered in any
new name of a Successor Company pursuant to this Section 3.06 in exchange or
substitution for or upon registration of transfer of any Securities, such
Successor Company, at the option of the holders but without expense to them,
shall provide for the exchange of all Securities at the time Outstanding for
Securities authenticated and delivered in such new name.

            (k) Each holder of a Security agrees to indemnify the Company and
the Trustee against any liability that may result from the transfer, exchange or
assignment of such holder's Security in violation of any provision of this
Indenture and/or applicable United States federal or state securities laws.

            (l) The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor,
determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed
under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any
interest in any Security other than to require delivery of such certificates and
other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if
and when expressly required by the terms of, this Indenture, and to examine the
same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express
requirements hereof.

                                       25

            (m) Neither the Trustee nor any agent of the Trustee shall have any
responsibility for any actions taken or not taken by the Depositary.

            SECTION 3.07. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities.

            (a) If (i) any mutilated Security or any mutilated Coupon with the
Coupon Security to which it appertains (and all unmatured Coupons attached
thereto) is surrendered to the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office (in the
case of Registered Securities) or at its principal London office (in the case of
Bearer Securities) or (ii) the Company and the Trustee receive evidence to their
satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security or any Coupon,
and there is delivered to the Company and the Trustee security or indemnity
satisfactory to them to save each of them and any Paying Agent harmless, and
neither the Company nor the Trustee receives notice that such Security or Coupon
has been acquired by a protected purchaser, then the Company shall execute and
upon Company Request the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for
or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security or in
exchange for the Coupon Security to which such mutilated, destroyed, lost or
stolen Coupon appertains, a new Security of the same series of like tenor, form,
terms and principal amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously Outstanding,
and, in the case of a Coupon Security, with such Coupons attached thereto that
neither gain nor loss in interest shall result from such exchange or
substitution.

            (b) In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security
or Coupon has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its
discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay the amount due on such
Security or Coupon in accordance with its terms; provided, however, that payment
of principal and premium, if any, and any interest on Bearer Securities or
payment of Coupons shall, except as otherwise provided in Section 3.08, be
payable only at an office or agency located outside the United States.

            (c) 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 respect thereto and any other
expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith.

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

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

            SECTION 3.08. Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved.

            (a) Interest on any Registered Security that is payable and is
punctually paid or duly provided for on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid
to the Person in whose name such Registered Security (or one or more Predecessor
Securities) is registered at the close of

                                       26
<PAGE>
business on the Record Date for such interest notwithstanding the cancellation
of such Registered Security upon any transfer or exchange subsequent to the
Record Date. In case a Coupon Security of any series is surrendered in exchange
for a Registered Security of such series after the close of business (at an
office or agency in a Place of Payment for such series) on any Record Date and
before the opening of business (at such office or agency) on the next succeeding
Interest Payment Date, such Coupon Security shall be surrendered without the
Coupon relating to such Interest Payment Date and interest will not be payable
on such Interest Payment Date in respect of the Registered Security issued in
exchange for such Coupon Security, but will be payable only to the bearer of
such Coupon when due in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.
Payment of interest on Registered Securities shall be made at the Corporate
Trust Office (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.01) or, at the
option of the Company, by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled
thereto as such address shall appear in the Register or, if provided pursuant to
Section 3.01 and in accordance with arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee, at
the option of the Registered Holder by wire transfer to an account designated by
the Registered Holder.

            (b) Interest on any Coupon Security that is payable and is
punctually paid or duly provided for on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid
to the holder of the Coupon that has matured on such Interest Payment Date upon
surrender of such Coupon on such Interest Payment Date at the principal London
office of the Trustee or at such other Place of Payment outside the United
States specified pursuant to Section 3.01.

            (c) Interest on any Bearer Security (other than a Coupon Security)
that is payable and is punctually paid or duly provided for on any Interest
Payment Date shall be paid to the holder of the Bearer Security upon
presentation of such Bearer Security and notation thereon on such Interest
Payment Date at the principal London office of the Trustee or at such other
Place of Payment outside the United States specified pursuant to Section 3.01.

            (d) Unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.01, at the
direction of the holder of any Bearer Security or Coupon payable in U.S.
Dollars, and subject to applicable laws and regulations, payments in respect of
such Bearer Security or Coupon will be made by check drawn on a bank in the City
of New York or, in accordance with arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee, by
wire transfer to a U.S. Dollars account maintained by such holder with a bank
outside the United States. If such payment at the offices of all Paying Agents
outside the United States becomes illegal or is effectively precluded because of
the imposition of exchange controls or similar restrictions on the full payment
or receipt of such amounts in U.S. Dollars, the Company will appoint an office
or agent in the United States at which such payment may be made. Unless
otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.01, at the direction of the holder of
any Bearer Security or Coupon payable in a Foreign Currency, payment on such
Bearer Security or Coupon will be made by a check drawn on a bank outside the
United States or, in accordance with arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee,
by wire transfer to an appropriate account maintained by such holder outside the
United States. Except as provided in this paragraph, no payment on any Bearer
Security or Coupon will be made by mail to an address in the United States or by
transfer to an account maintained by the bearer thereof in the United States.

            (e) Any interest on any Security that is payable but is not
punctually paid or duly provided for on any Interest Payment Date (herein called
"Defaulted Interest") shall, if such Security is a Registered Security,
forthwith cease to be payable to the Registered Holder on the

                                       27
<PAGE>
relevant Record Date by virtue of his or her having been such a Registered
Holder, and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its election
in each case, as provided in clause (i) or (ii) below:

            (i) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest
      to the Persons in whose names such Registered Securities (or their
      respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business
      on a special record date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest (a
      "Special Record Date"), 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 such Registered Security 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 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 calendar days and not less than 10 calendar days prior to the
      date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 calendar days after the
      receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee
      shall promptly notify the Company of such Special Record Date and, in the
      name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed
      payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to
      be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to the holders of such Registered
      Securities at their addresses as they appear in the Register, not less
      than 10 calendar days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the
      proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date
      therefor having been mailed as aforesaid, such Defaulted Interest shall be
      paid to the Persons in whose names such Registered Securities (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 (B). In case a Coupon Security of any series is
      surrendered in exchange for a Registered Security of such series after the
      close of business (at the office or agency in a Place of Payment for such
      series) on any Special Record Date and before the opening of business (at
      such office or agency) on the related proposed date of payment of
      Defaulted Interest, such Coupon Security shall be surrendered without the
      Coupon relating to such proposed date of payment and Defaulted Interest
      will not be payable on such proposed date of payment in respect of the
      Registered Security issued in exchange for such Coupon Security, but will
      be payable only to the holder of such Coupon when due in accordance with
      the provisions of this Indenture.

            (ii) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on
      Registered Securities in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the
      requirements of any securities exchange on which such Registered
      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.

            (f) Any Defaulted Interest payable in respect of Bearer Securities
of any series shall be payable pursuant to such procedures as may be
satisfactory to the Trustee in such

                                       28
<PAGE>
manner that there is no discrimination between the holders of Registered
Securities (if any) and Bearer Securities of such series, and notice of the
payment date therefor shall be given by the Trustee, in the name and at the
expense of the Company, in the manner provided in Section 16.08, not more than
25 days and not less than 20 days prior to the date of the proposed payment.

            (g) Subject to the provisions set forth herein relating to Record
Dates, each Security delivered pursuant to any provision of this Indenture in
exchange or substitution for, or upon registration of transfer of, any other
Security shall carry all the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to
accrue, which were carried by such other Security.

            SECTION 3.09. Cancellation. Unless otherwise specified pursuant to
Section 3.01 for Securities of any series, all Securities surrendered for
payment, redemption, transfer, exchange or credit against any sinking fund or
otherwise and all Coupons surrendered for payment or exchange shall, if
surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee
for cancellation and shall be promptly canceled by it or, if surrendered to the
Trustee, shall be promptly canceled by it. The Company may at any time deliver
to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities or Coupons previously
authenticated and delivered hereunder that the Company may have acquired in any
manner whatsoever, and all Securities or Coupons so delivered shall be promptly
canceled by the Trustee. No Securities or Coupons shall be authenticated in lieu
of or in exchange for any Securities or Coupons canceled as provided in this
Section, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. The Trustee shall
dispose of all canceled Securities and Coupons held by it in accordance with its
then customary procedures and deliver a certificate of such disposal to the
Company. The acquisition of any Securities or Coupons by the Company shall not
operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented thereby
unless and until such Securities or Coupons are surrendered to the Trustee for
cancellation.

            SECTION 3.10. Computation of Interest. Except as otherwise specified
pursuant to Section 3.01 for Securities of any series, interest on the
Securities of each series shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of
twelve 30-day months.

            SECTION 3.11. Currency of Payments in Respect of Securities.

            (a) Except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.01 for
Bearer Securities of any series, payment of the principal of and premium, if
any, and interest on Bearer Securities of such series denominated in any
Currency will be made in such Currency.

            (b) Except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.01 for
Registered Securities of any series, payment of the principal of and premium, if
any, and interest on Registered Securities of such series will be made in U.S.
Dollars.

            (c) For purposes of any provision of the Indenture where the holders
of Outstanding Securities may perform an action that requires that a specified
percentage of the Outstanding Securities of all series perform such action and
for purposes of any decision or determination by the Trustee of amounts due and
unpaid for the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Securities
of all series in respect of which moneys are to be disbursed ratably, the
principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Outstanding Securities
denominated in a Foreign Currency will be the amount in U.S. Dollars based upon
exchange rates, determined as

                                       29
<PAGE>
specified pursuant to Section 3.01 for Securities of such series, as of the date
for determining whether the holders entitled to perform such action have
performed it or as of the date of such decision or determination by the Trustee,
as the case may be.

            (d) Any decision or determination to be made regarding exchange
rates shall be made by an agent appointed by the Company; provided, that such
agent shall accept such appointment in writing and the terms of such appointment
shall, in the opinion of the Company at the time of such appointment, require
such agent to make such determination by a method consistent with the method
provided pursuant to Section 3.01 for the making of such decision or
determination. All decisions and determinations of such agent regarding exchange
rates shall be in its sole discretion and shall, in the absence of manifest
error, be conclusive for all purposes and irrevocably binding upon the Company,
the Guarantor, the Trustee and all holders of the Securities.

            SECTION 3.12. Judgments. The Company and the Guarantor may provide
pursuant to Section 3.01 for Securities of any series that (a) the obligation,
if any, of the Company or the Guarantor, as applicable, to pay the principal of,
premium, if any, and interest on the Securities of any series in a Foreign
Currency or U.S. Dollars (the "Designated Currency") as may be specified
pursuant to Section 3.01 is of the essence and agrees that, to the fullest
extent possible under applicable law, judgments in respect of such Securities
shall be given in the Designated Currency; (b) the obligation of the Company or
the Guarantor, as applicable, to make payments in the Designated Currency of the
principal of and premium, if any, and interest on such Securities shall,
notwithstanding any payment in any other Currency (whether pursuant to a
judgment or otherwise), be discharged only to the extent of the amount in the
Designated Currency that the holder receiving such payment may, in accordance
with normal banking procedures, purchase with the sum paid in such other
Currency (after any premium and cost of exchange) on the business day in the
country of issue of the Designated Currency or in the international banking
community (in the case of a composite currency) immediately following the day on
which such holder receives such payment; (c) if the amount in the Designated
Currency that may be so purchased for any reason falls short of the amount
originally due, the Company or the Guarantor, as applicable, shall pay such
additional amounts as may be necessary to compensate for such shortfall; and (d)
any obligation of the Company or the Guarantor, as applicable, not discharged by
such payment shall be due as a separate and independent obligation and, until
discharged as provided herein, shall continue in full force and effect.

            SECTION 3.13. CUSIP Numbers. The Company in issuing any Securities
may use CUSIP numbers, if then generally in use, and thereafter with respect to
such series, the Trustee may use such numbers in any notice of redemption or
exchange with respect to such series provided that any such notice may state
that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as
printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that
reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the
Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or
omission of such numbers. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee in
writing of any change in the CUSIP numbers.

                                   ARTICLE IV

                            REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES

            SECTION 4.01. Applicability of Right of Redemption. Redemption of
Securities (other than pursuant to a sinking fund or analogous provision)
permitted by the terms of any series of Securities shall be made in accordance
with such terms (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.01 for
Securities of any series) in accordance with this Article; provided, however,
that if any such terms of a series of Securities shall conflict with any
provision of this Article, the terms of such series shall govern.

            SECTION 4.02. Tax Redemption; Special Tax Redemption.

            (a) Unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.01, Bearer
Securities of any series may be redeemed at the option of the Company in whole,
but not in part, at any time, at the Redemption Price thereof (calculated
without premium), if the Company has or will become obligated to pay additional
interest on such Bearer Securities pursuant to Section 6.02 as a result of any
change in, or amendment to, the laws (or any regulation or ruling promulgated
thereunder) of the United States or any political subdivision or taxing
authority thereof or therein, or any change in the application or official
interpretation of such laws, regulations or rulings, which change or amendment
becomes effective on or after the date on which any Person (including any Person
acting as underwriter, broker or dealer) agrees to purchase any of such Bearer
Securities pursuant to their original issuance, and such obligation cannot be
avoided by the Company taking reasonable measures available to it. If the
Company elects to redeem Bearer Securities pursuant to this Section 4.02, it
shall notify the Trustee and the holders of such Bearer Securities in accordance
with Sections 4.03 and 4.04; provided that no such notice of redemption shall be
given earlier than 90 days prior to the earliest date on which the Company would
be obligated to pay such additional interest were a payment in respect of the
Bearer Securities of that series then due. Prior to the publication of any
notice of redemption pursuant to this Section 4.02(a), the Company shall deliver
to the Trustee (i) an Officers' Certificate stating that the Company is entitled
to effect such redemption and setting forth a statement of facts showing that
the conditions precedent to the right of the Company so to redeem have occurred
and (ii) an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Company has or will become
obligated to pay such additional interest as a result of such change or
amendment.

            (b) Unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.01, if the
Company shall determine that any payment made outside the United States by the
Company or any of its Paying Agents in respect of any Bearer Security or Coupon,
if any, that is not a Floating Rate Security (an "Affected Security") would,
under any present or future laws or regulations in the United States, be subject
to any certification, documentation, information or other reporting requirement
of any kind, the effect of which requirement is the disclosure to the Company,
any Paying Agent or any governmental authority of the nationality, residence or
identity of a beneficial owner of such Affected Security that is a United States
Alien (other than such a requirement (i) that would not be applicable to a
payment made by the Company or any one of its Paying Agents (A) directly to the
beneficial owner or (B) to a custodian, nominee or other agent of the beneficial
owner, or (ii) that can be satisfied by such custodian, nominee or other agent
certifying to the effect that the beneficial owner is a United States Alien;
provided that, in any case referred to in clause (i)(B) or (ii), payment by the
custodian, nominee or agent to the beneficial owner is not

                                       31
<PAGE>
otherwise subject to any such requirement), then the Company shall elect either
(x) to redeem such Affected Securities in whole, but not in part, at the
Redemption Price thereof (calculated without premium) or (y) if the conditions
of the next succeeding paragraph are satisfied, to pay the additional interest
specified in such paragraph. The Company shall make such determination as soon
as practicable and publish prompt notice thereof (the "Determination Notice"),
stating the effective date of such certification, documentation, information or
other reporting requirement, whether the Company elects to redeem the Affected
Securities or to pay the additional interest specified in the next succeeding
paragraph and (if applicable) the last date by which the redemption of the
Affected Securities must take place, as provided in the next succeeding
sentence. If any Affected Securities are to be redeemed pursuant to this
paragraph, the redemption shall take place on such date, not later than one year
after the publication of the Determination Notice, as the Company shall specify
by notice given to the Trustee and the holders of the Affected Securities in
accordance with Sections 4.03 and 4.04. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Company shall not so redeem the Affected Securities if the Company shall
subsequently determine, not less than 30 days prior to the Redemption Date, that
subsequent payments on the Affected Securities would not be subject to any such
certification, documentation, information or other reporting requirement, in
which case the Company shall publish prompt notice of such subsequent
determination, and any earlier redemption notice given pursuant to this
paragraph shall be revoked and of no further effect. Prior to the publication of
any Determination Notice pursuant to this paragraph, the Company shall deliver
to the Trustee (i) an Officers' Certificate stating that the Company is entitled
to make such determination and setting forth a statement of facts showing that
the conditions precedent to the obligation of the Company to redeem the Affected
Securities or to pay the additional interest specified in the next succeeding
paragraph have occurred and (ii) an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such
conditions have occurred.

            (c) If and so long as the certification, documentation, information
or other reporting requirements referred to in the preceding paragraph would be
fully satisfied by payment of a backup withholding tax or similar charge, the
Company may elect to pay as additional interest such amounts as may be necessary
so that every net payment made outside the United States following the effective
date of such requirement by the Company or any of its Paying Agents in respect
of any Affected Security of which the beneficial owner is a United States Alien
(but without any requirement that the nationality, residence or identity of such
beneficial owner be disclosed to the Company, any Paying Agent or any
governmental authority), after deduction or withholding for or on account of
such backup withholding tax or similar charge (other than a backup withholding
tax or similar charge that (i) would not be applicable in the circumstances
referred to in the parenthetical clause of the first sentence of the preceding
paragraph or (ii) is imposed as a result of presentation of any such Affected
Security for payment more than 15 days after the date on which such payment
became due and payable or on which payment thereof was duly provided for,
whichever occurred later), will not be less than the amount provided in any such
Affected Security to be then due and payable. If the Company elects to pay
additional interest pursuant to this paragraph, then the Company shall have the
right, but shall not be required, to redeem the Affected Securities at any time
in whole, but not in part, at the Redemption Price thereof (calculated without
premium), subject to the provisions of the last three sentences of the
immediately preceding paragraph. If the Company elects to pay additional
interest pursuant to this paragraph and the condition specified in the first
sentence of this paragraph should no longer be satisfied, then the Company shall
redeem the Affected

                                       32
<PAGE>
Securities in whole, but not in part, at the Redemption Price thereof
(calculated without premium), subject to the provisions of the last three
sentences of the immediately preceding paragraph. Any redemption payments made
by the Company pursuant to the two immediately preceding sentences shall be
subject to the continuing obligation of the Company to pay additional interest
pursuant to this paragraph. If the Company elects to, or is required to, redeem
the Affected Securities pursuant to this paragraph, it shall notify the Trustee
and the holders of the Affected Securities thereof in accordance with Sections
4.03 and 4.04.

            SECTION 4.03. Selection of Securities to be Redeemed.

            (a) If the Company shall at any time elect to redeem all or any
portion of the Securities of a series then Outstanding, it shall at least 45
days prior to the Redemption Date fixed by the Company (unless a shorter period
shall be satisfactory to the Trustee) notify the Trustee of such Redemption Date
and of the principal amount of Securities to be redeemed, and thereupon the
Trustee shall select, in such manner as the Trustee shall deem appropriate and
fair, the Securities (or portions thereof) of such series to be redeemed. Unless
otherwise provided in the Officers' Certificate or supplemental indenture
provided for in Section 3.01, no Security of a denomination of $1,000 shall be
redeemed in part and Securities may be redeemed in part only in integral
multiples of $1,000. In any case where more than one Registered Security of such
series is registered in the same name, the Trustee in its discretion may treat
the aggregate principal amount so registered as if it were represented by one
Registered Security of such series. The Trustee shall, as soon as practicable,
notify the Company in writing of the Securities and portions of Securities so
selected.

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

            SECTION 4.04. Notice of Redemption.

            (a) The election of the Company to redeem any Securities of any
series shall be evidenced by a Board Resolution. Notice of redemption 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, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior
to the Redemption Date, to the holders of Securities of any series to be
redeemed in whole or in part pursuant to this Article, in the manner provided in
Section 16.08. Any notice so given shall be conclusively presumed to have been
duly given, whether or not the holder receives such notice. Failure to give such
notice, or any defect in such notice to the holder of any Security of a series
designated for redemption, in whole or in part, shall not affect the sufficiency
of any notice of redemption with respect to the holder of any other Security of
such series.

            (b) All notices of redemption shall identify the Securities to be
redeemed (including CUSIP numbers) and shall state:

            (i) such election by the Company to redeem Securities of such series
      pursuant to provisions contained in this Indenture or the terms of the
      Securities of such series or a supplemental indenture establishing such
      series, if such be the case;

                                       33
<PAGE>
            (ii) the Redemption Date;

            (iii) the Redemption Price;

            (iv) if less than all Outstanding Securities of any series are to be
      redeemed, the identification (and, in the case of partial redemption, the
      principal amounts) of the particular Securities to be redeemed;

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

            (vi) that, unless otherwise specified in such notice, Coupon
      Securities of any series, if any, surrendered for redemption must be
      accompanied by all Coupons maturing subsequent to the date fixed for
      redemption, failing which the amount of any such missing Coupon or Coupons
      will be deducted from the Redemption Price;

            (vii) the Place or Places of Payment where such Securities are to be
      surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price, and that the Securities
      designated in such notice for redemption are required to be presented on
      or after such Redemption Date at the designated Place of Payment;

            (viii) if Bearer Securities of any series are to be redeemed and any
      Registered Securities of such series are not to be redeemed, and if such
      Bearer Securities may be exchanged for Registered Securities not subject
      to redemption on this Redemption Date pursuant to Section 3.06(c) or
      otherwise, the last date on which such exchanges may be made;

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

            (x) if any Security of any series is to be redeemed in part, that on
      and after the Redemption Date, upon surrender of such Security and any
      Coupons appertaining thereto, such Security and any Coupons appertaining
      thereto will be canceled and a new Security or Securities of such series
      in aggregate principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof and
      with appropriate Coupons will be issued and delivered without charge to
      the holder or, in the case of Securities providing appropriate space for
      such notation, at the option of the holders, the Trustee, in lieu of
      delivering a new Security or Securities as aforesaid, may make a notation
      on such Security of the payment of the redeemed portion thereof.

            SECTION 4.05. Deposit of Redemption Price. On or prior to 10 a.m.,
New York City time, on the Redemption Date for any Registered Securities, 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 6.04) an amount of money in the Currency in which such
Securities are denominated (except as provided pursuant to Section 3.01)
sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of such Securities or any portions
thereof that are to be redeemed on that date. In the case of any redemption
pertaining to Bearer or Coupon Securities, the Company shall, no later than the
Business Day prior to such Redemption Date, deposit with

                                       34
<PAGE>
the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (other than the Company) an amount of money
in the Currency in which such Securities are denominated (except as provided
pursuant to Section 3.01) sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of such
Securities or any portion thereof that are to be redeemed on the Redemption
Date.

            SECTION 4.06. Securities Payable on Redemption Date. Notice of
redemption having been given as aforesaid, any Securities so to be redeemed
shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Redemption Price
and from and after such date (unless the Company shall Default in the payment of
the Redemption Price) such Securities shall cease to bear interest and any
Coupons for such interest appertaining to any such Securities to be redeemed,
except to the extent described below, shall be void. 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; provided, however, that
installments of interest that have a Stated Maturity on or prior to the
Redemption Date for such Securities shall be payable according to the terms of
such Securities and the provisions of Section 3.08.

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

            If any Coupon Security surrendered for redemption shall not be
accompanied by all Coupons appertaining thereto maturing on or after the
Redemption Date, the Redemption Price for such Coupon Security may be reduced by
an amount equal to the face amount of all such missing Coupons. If thereafter
the holder of such Coupon shall surrender to any Paying Agent outside the United
States any such missing Coupon in respect of which a deduction shall have been
made from the Redemption Price, such holder shall be entitled to receive the
amount so deducted. The surrender of such missing Coupon or Coupons may be
waived by the Company and the Trustee, if there be furnished to them such
security or indemnity as they may require to save each of them and any Paying
Agent harmless.

            SECTION 4.07. Securities Redeemed in Part. Any Security that is to
be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at the Corporate Trust Office or
such other office or agency of the Company as is specified pursuant to Section
3.01 (in the case of Registered Securities) and at the principal London office
of the Trustee or such other office or agency of the Company outside the United
States as is specified pursuant to Section 3.01 (in the case of Bearer
Securities) with, if the Company, the Registrar or the Trustee so requires, due
endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the
Company, the Registrar 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, of like tenor
and form, 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, and, in the case of a Coupon
Security, with appropriate Coupons attached; except that if a Global Security is
so surrendered, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate
and deliver to the Depositary for such Global Security, without service charge,
a new Global Security in a denomination equal to and in exchange for the
unredeemed portion of the principal of the Global Security so surrendered. In
the case of a Security providing appropriate space for such notation, at the
option of the holder thereof, the Trustee, in lieu of

                                       35
<PAGE>
delivering a new Security or Securities as aforesaid, may make a notation on
such Security of the payment of the redeemed portion thereof.

                                    ARTICLE V

                                  SINKING FUNDS

            SECTION 5.01. Applicability of Sinking Fund.

            (a) Redemption of Securities permitted or required pursuant to a
sinking fund for the retirement of Securities of a series by the terms of such
series of Securities shall be made in accordance with such terms of such series
of Securities and this Article, except as otherwise specified pursuant to
Section 3.01 for Securities of such series, provided, however, that if any such
terms of a series of Securities shall conflict with any provision of this
Article, the terms of such series shall govern.

            (b) The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by
the terms of Securities of any series is herein referred to as a "Mandatory
Sinking Fund Payment," and any payment in excess of such minimum amount provided
for by the terms of Securities of any series is herein referred to as an
"Optional Sinking Fund Payment." If provided for by the terms of Securities of
any series, the cash amount of any Mandatory Sinking Fund Payment may be subject
to reduction as provided in Section 5.02.

            SECTION 5.02. Mandatory Sinking Fund Obligation. The Company may, at
its option, satisfy any Mandatory Sinking Fund Payment obligation, in whole or
in part, with respect to a particular series of Securities by (1) delivering to
the Trustee Securities of such series in transferable form (together with the
unmatured Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto) theretofore purchased or
otherwise acquired by the Company or redeemed at the election of the Company
pursuant to Section 4.03 or (2) receiving credit for Securities of such series
(together with the unmatured Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto) (not
previously so credited) acquired by the Company and theretofore delivered to the
Trustee. The Trustee shall credit such Mandatory Sinking Fund Payment obligation
with an amount equal to the Redemption Price specified in such Securities for
redemption through operation of the sinking fund and the amount of such
Mandatory Sinking Fund Payment shall be reduced accordingly. If the Company
shall elect to so satisfy any Mandatory Sinking Fund Payment obligation, it
shall deliver to the Trustee not less than 45 days prior to the relevant sinking
fund payment date a written notice signed on behalf of the Company by its
Chairman of the Board of Directors, its President, one of its Vice Presidents,
its Treasurer or one of its Assistant Treasurers, which shall designate the
Securities (and portions thereof, if any) so delivered or credited and which
shall be accompanied by such Securities (together with the unmatured Coupons, if
any, appertaining thereto) (to the extent not theretofore delivered) in
transferable form. In case of the failure of the Company, at or before the time
so required, to give such notice and deliver such Securities the Mandatory
Sinking Fund Payment obligation shall be paid entirely in moneys.

            SECTION 5.03. Optional Redemption at Sinking Fund Redemption Price.
In addition to the sinking fund requirements of Section 5.02, to the extent, if
any, provided for by the terms of a particular series of Securities, the Company
may, at its option, make an Optional Sinking Fund Payment with respect to such
Securities. Unless otherwise provided by such

                                       36
<PAGE>

terms, (a) to the extent that the right of the Company to make such Optional
Sinking Fund Payment shall not be exercised in any year, it shall not be
cumulative or carried forward to any subsequent year, and (b) such optional
payment shall operate to reduce the amount of any Mandatory Sinking Fund Payment
obligation as to Securities of the same series. If the Company intends to
exercise its right to make such optional payment in any year it shall deliver to
the Trustee not less than 45 days prior to the relevant sinking fund payment
date a certificate signed by its Chairman of the Board of Directors, its
President, one of its Vice President, its Treasurer or one of its Assistant
Treasurers stating that the Company will exercise such optional right, and
specifying the amount which the Company will pay on or before the next
succeeding sinking fund payment date. Such certificate shall also state that no
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

            SECTION 5.04. Application of Sinking Fund Payment.

            (a) If the sinking fund payment or payments made in funds pursuant
to either Section 5.02 or 5.03 with respect to a particular series of Securities
plus any unused balance of any preceding sinking fund payments made in funds
with respect to such series shall exceed $50,000 (or a lesser sum if the Company
shall so request, or such equivalent sum for Securities denominated other than
in U.S. Dollars), it shall be applied by the Trustee on the sinking fund payment
date next following the date of such payment, unless the date of such payment
shall be a sinking fund payment date, in which case such payment shall be
applied on such sinking fund payment date, to the redemption of Securities of
such series at the redemption price specified in Section 4.04(b). The Trustee
shall select, in the manner provided in Section 4.03, for redemption on such
sinking fund payment date, a sufficient principal amount of Securities of such
series to absorb said funds, as nearly as may be, and shall, at the expense and
in the name of the Company, thereupon cause notice of redemption of the
Securities to be given in substantially the manner provided in Section 4.04(a)
for the redemption of Securities in part at the option of the Company, except
that the notice of redemption shall also state that the Securities are being
redeemed for the sinking fund. Any sinking fund moneys not so applied by the
Trustee to the redemption of Securities of such series shall be added to the
next sinking fund payment received in funds by the Trustee and, together with
such payment, shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of this Section
5.04. Any and all sinking fund moneys held by the Trustee on the last sinking
fund payment date with respect to Securities of such series, and not held for
the payment or redemption of particular Securities of such series, shall be
applied by the Trustee to the payment of the principal of the Securities of such
series at maturity.

            (b) On or prior to each sinking fund payment date, the Company shall
pay to the Trustee a sum equal to all interest accrued to the date fixed for
redemption on Securities to be redeemed on such sinking fund payment date
pursuant to this Section 5.04.

            (c) The Trustee shall not redeem any Securities of a series with
sinking fund moneys or mail any notice of redemption of Securities of such
series by operation of the sinking fund during the continuance of a Default in
payment of interest on any Securities of such series or of any Event of Default
(other than an Event of Default occurring as a consequence of this paragraph) of
which the Trustee has actual knowledge, except that if the notice of redemption
of any Securities of such series shall theretofore have been mailed in
accordance with the provisions hereof, the Trustee shall redeem such Securities
if funds sufficient for that purpose shall be deposited with the Trustee in
accordance with the terms of this Article. Except as

                                       37
<PAGE>
aforesaid, any moneys in the sinking fund at the tune any such default or Event
of Default shall occur and any moneys thereafter paid into the sinking fund
shall, during the continuance of such default or Event of Default, be held as
security for the payment of all the Securities of such series; provided,
however, that in case such default or Event of Default shall have been cured or
waived as provided herein, such moneys shall thereafter be applied on the next
sinking fund payment date on which such moneys are required to be applied
pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.04.

                                   ARTICLE VI

                       PARTICULAR COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY

      The Company hereby covenants and agrees as follows:

            SECTION 6.01. Payments of Securities. The Company will duly and
punctually pay the principal of and premium, if any, on each series of
Securities, and the interest which shall have accrued thereon, and pay any
Coupons, at the dates and place and in the manner provided in the Securities,
the Coupons and in this Indenture. Any interest due on Coupon Securities on or
before Maturity, other than additional interest, if any, payable as provided in
Section 6.02 in respect of principal of (or premium, if any, on) such a
Security, shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of the several
Coupons for such interest installments as are evidenced thereby as they
severally mature.

            SECTION 6.02. Payment of Additional Interest. Unless otherwise
provided pursuant to Section 3.01, the provisions of this Section 6.02 shall be
applicable to Bearer Securities of any series.

            (a) The Company will, subject to the exceptions and limitations set
forth below, pay as additional interest to the holder of any Bearer Security or
Coupon that is a United States Alien such amounts as may be necessary so that
every net payment on such Bearer Security or Coupon, after deduction or
withholding for or on account of any present or future tax, assessment or other
governmental charge imposed upon or as a result of such payment by the United
States (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein),
will not be less than the amount provided in such Bearer Security or Coupon to
be then due and payable. However, the Company will not be required to make any
such payment of additional interest for or on account of:

            (i) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not
      have been imposed but for (i) the existence of any present or former
      connection between such holder (or between a fiduciary, settlor or
      beneficiary of, or a person holding a power over, such holder, if such
      holder is an estate or a trust, or a member or shareholder of such holder,
      if such holder is a partnership or corporation) and the United States,
      including, without limitation, such holder (or such fiduciary, settlor,
      beneficiary, person holding a power, member or shareholder) being or
      having been a citizen or resident thereof or being or having been engaged
      in trade or business or present therein or having or having had a
      permanent establishment therein or (ii) such holder's past or present
      status as a personal holding company, foreign personal holding company or
      private foundation or

                                       38
<PAGE>
      other tax-exempt organization with respect to the United States or as a
      corporation that accumulates earnings to avoid United States federal
      income tax;

            (ii) any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer or personal
      property tax or any similar tax, assessment or other governmental charge;

            (iii) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would
      not have been imposed but for the presentation by the holder of a Bearer
      Security or Coupon for payment more than 15 days after the date on which
      such payment became due and payable or on which payment thereof was duly
      provided for, whichever occurs later;

            (iv) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is
      payable otherwise than by deduction or withholding from a payment on a
      Bearer Security or Coupon;

            (v) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge required to be
      deducted or withheld by any Paying Agent from a payment on a Bearer
      Security or Coupon, if such payment can be made without such deduction or
      withholding by any other Paying Agent;

            (vi) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not
      have been imposed but for a failure to comply with applicable
      certification, documentation, information or other reporting requirement
      concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connection with the
      United States of the holder or beneficial owner of a Bearer Security or
      Coupon if, without regard to any tax treaty, such compliance is required
      by statute or regulation of the United States as a condition to relief or
      exemption from such tax, assessment or other governmental charge; or

            (vii) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed on a
      holder that actually or constructively owns 10 percent or more of the
      combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or that is a
      controlled foreign corporation related to the Company through stock
      ownership;

nor shall additional interest be paid with respect to a payment on a Bearer
Security or Coupon to a holder that is a fiduciary or partnership or other than
the sole beneficial owner of such payment to the extent a beneficiary or settlor
with respect to such fiduciary or a member of such partnership or a beneficial
owner would not have been entitled to the additional interest had such
beneficiary, settlor, member or beneficial owner been the holder of such Bearer
Security or Coupon.

            (b) Whenever in this Indenture there is mentioned, in any context,
the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest on any Security
or payment with respect to any Coupon of any series, such mention shall be
deemed to include mention of the payment of additional interest provided for in
the terms of such Securities and this Section to the extent that, in such
context, additional interest is, was or would be payable in respect thereof
pursuant to the provisions of this Section and express mention of the payment of
additional interest (if applicable) in any provisions hereof shall not be
construed as excluding additional interest in those provisions hereof where such
express mention is not made.

                                       39
<PAGE>
            (c) If the payment of additional interest becomes required in
respect of the Securities of a series, at least ten days prior to the first
Interest Payment Date with respect to which such additional interest will be
payable (or if the Securities of that series will not bear interest prior to
Maturity, the first day on which a payment of principal and premium, if any, is
made and on which such additional interest will be payable), and at least ten
days prior to each date of payment of principal and premium, if any, or interest
if there has been any change with respect to the matters set forth in the below
mentioned Officers' Certificate, the Company will furnish the Trustee and each
Paying Agent with an Officers' Certificate that shall specify by country the
amount, if any, required to be withheld on such payments to holders of
Securities or Coupons that are United States Aliens, and the Company will pay to
the Trustee or such Paying Agent the additional interest, if any, required by
the terms of such Securities and this Section. The Company covenants to
indemnify the Trustee and any Paying Agent for, and to hold them harmless
against, any loss, liability or expense reasonably incurred without negligence
or bad faith on their part arising out of or in connection with actions taken or
omitted by any of them in reliance on any Officers' Certificate furnished
pursuant to this Section 6.02.

            SECTION 6.03. Paying Agent.

            (a) The Company will maintain in each Place of Payment for any
series of Securities and Coupons, if any, an office or agency where Securities
and Coupons of such series (but, except as otherwise provided in Section 3.08,
unless such Place of Payment is located outside the United States, not Bearer
Securities or Coupons) may be presented or surrendered for payment, where
Securities of such 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 and Coupons of such series and this Indenture may be served (the
"Paying Agent"). So long as any Bearer Securities of any series remain
outstanding, the Company will maintain for such purposes one or more offices or
agencies outside the United States in such city or cities specified pursuant to
Section 3.01 and, if any Bearer Securities are listed on a securities exchange
that requires an office or agency for the payment of principal of and premium,
if any, or interest on such Bearer Securities in a location other than the
location of an office or agency specified pursuant to Section 3.01, the Company
will maintain for such purposes an office or agency in such location so long as
any Bearer Securities are listed on such securities exchange and such exchange
so requires. 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 (in the case of Registered Securities) and at the
principal London office of the Trustee (in the case of Bearer Securities), and
the Company hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive all
presentations, surrenders, notices and demands.

            (b) The Company may also from time to time designate different or
additional offices or agencies to be maintained for such purposes (in or outside
of such Place of Payment), and may from time to time rescind any such
designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in
any manner relieve the Company of its obligations described in the preceding
paragraph. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any
such additional designation or rescission of designation and any change in the
location of any such different or additional office or agency.

            SECTION 6.04. To Hold Payment in Trust.

            (a) If the Company, the Guarantor or an Affiliate of either the
Company or the Guarantor shall at any time act as Paying Agent with respect to
any series of Securities and Coupons, if any, then, on or before the date on
which the principal of and premium, if any, or interest on any of the Securities
of that series by their terms or as a result of the calling thereof for
redemption shall become payable, the Company, the Guarantor or such Affiliate
will set apart and segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the holders of
such Securities or the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay such principal and
premium, if any, or interest which shall have so become payable until such sums
shall be paid to such holders or otherwise disposed of as herein provided, and
will notify the Trustee of its action or failure to act in that regard and of
any action or failure by the Company, the Guarantor or any other obligor upon
the Securities of that series to make any such payment. Upon any proceeding
under any federal bankruptcy laws with respect to the Company or the Guarantor
or any Affiliate of the Company or the Guarantor, if the Company, the Guarantor
or such Affiliate is then acting as Paying Agent, the Trustee shall replace the
Company, the Guarantor or such Affiliate as Paying Agent.

            (b) If the Company shall appoint, and at the time have, a Paying
Agent for the payment of the principal of and premium, if any, or interest on
any series of Securities and Coupons, then prior to 10 a.m., New York City time,
on the date on which the principal of and premium, if any, or interest on any of
the Securities of that series shall become payable as aforesaid, whether by
their terms or as a result of the calling thereof for redemption, the Company
will deposit with such Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay such principal and
premium, if any, or interest, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of
the holders of such Securities.

            (c) If such Paying Agent shall be other than the Trustee, the
Company will cause such Paying Agent 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 6.03, that such Paying Agent shall:

            (i) hold all moneys held by it for the payment of the principal of
      and premium, if any, or interest on the Securities of that series and any
      related Coupons in trust for the benefit of the holders of such Securities
      until such sums shall be paid to such holders or otherwise disposed of as
      herein provided;

            (ii) give to the Trustee notice of any Default by the Company, the
      Guarantor or any other obligor upon the Securities of that series in the
      making of any payment of the principal of and premium, if any, or interest
      on the Securities of that series or any payment on any related Coupons
      when the same shall have become due and payable; and

            (iii) at any time during the continuance of any such Default, upon
      the written request of the Trustee, pay to the Trustee all sums so held in
      trust by such Paying Agent.

            (d) Anything in this Section 6.04 to the contrary notwithstanding,
the Company may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining a release,
satisfaction or discharge of this Indenture or for any other reason, pay or
cause to be paid to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Company or by any
Paying Agent other than the Trustee as required by this Section 6.04,

                                       41
<PAGE>
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.

            (e) 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 and
premium, if any, or interest on any Security of any series or the payment of any
related Coupon and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal and
premium, if any, or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the
Company upon Company Request, or (if then held by the Company) shall be
discharged from such trust, and the holder of such Security or Coupon shall
thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for
payment thereof (except as with regards to the Guarantee), 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 transmitted in the
manner and to the extent provided by Section 16.08, 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 notification, any unclaimed balance of
such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company.

            SECTION 6.05. Merger, Consolidation and Sale of Assets.

            (a) The Company will not consolidate with any other entity or accept
a merger of any other entity into the Company or permit the Company to be merged
into any other entity, or sell other than for cash or lease all or substantially
all its assets to another entity, or purchase all or substantially all the
assets of another entity, unless (i) either the Company shall be the continuing
entity, or the successor, transferee or lessee entity (if other than the
Company) shall expressly assume, by indenture supplemental hereto satisfactory
to the Trustee, executed and delivered by such entity prior to or simultaneously
with such consolidation, merger, sale or lease, the due and punctual payment of
the principal of and interest and premium, if any, on all the Securities (and
Coupons, if any), according to their tenor, and the due and punctual performance
and observance of all other obligations to the holders and the Trustee under
this Indenture or under the Securities (and Coupons, if any) to be performed or
observed by the Company; and (ii) immediately after such consolidation, merger,
sale, lease or purchase the Company or the successor, transferee or lessee
entity (if other than the Company) would not be in Default in the performance of
any covenant or condition of this Indenture. A purchase by a Subsidiary of all
or substantially all of the assets of another entity shall not be deemed to be a
purchase of such assets by the Company.

            (b) Upon any consolidation with or merger into any other entity, or
any conveyance or lease of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company
in accordance with this Section 6.05, the successor entity formed by such
consolidation or into or with which the Company is merged or to which such
conveyance, transfer or lease is made shall succeed to, and be substituted for,
and may exercise every right and power of, the Company under this Indenture with
the same effect as if such successor entity had been named as the Company
herein, and thereafter, except in the case of a lease, the predecessor Company
shall be relieved of all obligations and covenants under this Indenture and the
Securities and Coupons.

                                       42

            SECTION 6.06. Compliance Certificate. The Company shall furnish to
the Trustee annually, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, a brief
certificate from the principal executive officer, principal financial officer or
principal accounting officer as to his or her knowledge of the Company's
compliance with all conditions and covenants under this Indenture (which
compliance shall be determined without regard to any period of grace or
requirement of notice provided under this Indenture) and, in the event of any
Default, specifying each such Default and the nature and status thereof of which
such person may have knowledge. Such certificates need not comply with Section
16.02 of this Indenture.

            SECTION 6.07. Conditional Waiver by Holders of Securities. Anything
in this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company or any Subsidiary
may fail or omit in any particular instance to comply with a covenant or
condition set forth in Section 6.05 with respect to any series of Securities if
the Company shall have obtained and filed with the Trustee, prior to the time of
such failure or omission, evidence (as provided in Article Eight) of the consent
of the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of
such series at the time Outstanding, either waiving such compliance in such
instance or generally waiving compliance with such covenant or condition, but no
such waiver shall extend to or affect any obligation not waived by the terms of
such waiver or impair any right consequent thereon.

            SECTION 6.08. Statement by Officers as to Default. The Company shall
deliver to the Trustee and the Guarantor, as soon as possible and in any event
within five days after the Company becomes aware of the occurrence of any Event
of Default or an event which, with the giving of notice or the lapse of time or
both, would constitute an Event of Default, an Officer's Certificate setting
forth the details of such Event of Default or Default and the action which the
Company proposes to take with respect thereto.

                                   ARTICLE VII

                     REMEDIES OF TRUSTEE AND SECURITYHOLDERS

            SECTION 7.01. Events of Default. Except where otherwise indicated by
the context or where the term is otherwise defined for a specific purpose, the
term "Event of Default" as used in this Indenture with respect to Securities of
any series shall mean one of the following described events unless it is either
inapplicable to a particular series or it is specifically deleted or modified in
the supplemental indenture, if any, under which such series of Securities is
issued:

            (a) the failure of the Company to pay any installment of interest on
any Security of such series or to make any payment with respect to the related
Coupons, if any, when and as the same shall become payable, which failure shall
have continued unremedied for a period of 30 days;

            (b) the failure of the Company to pay the principal of (and premium,
if any, on) any Security of such series, when and as the same shall become
payable, whether at Maturity as therein expressed, by call for redemption
(otherwise than pursuant to a sinking fund), by declaration as authorized by
this Indenture or otherwise;

                                       43
<PAGE>

            (c) the failure of the Company to pay a sinking fund installment, if
any, when and as the same shall become payable by the terms of a Security of
such series, which failure shall have continued unremedied for a period of 30
days;

            (d) the failure of the Company, subject to the provisions of Section
6.08, or the Guarantor to observe and perform any other of the covenants or
agreements on the part of the Company or the Guarantor, as applicable, contained
in this Indenture (including any indenture supplemental hereto pursuant to which
the Securities of such series were issued as contemplated by Section 3.01)
(other than a covenant or agreement which has been expressly included in this
Indenture solely for the benefit of a series of Securities other than that
series), which failure shall not have been remedied to the satisfaction of the
Trustee, or without provision deemed by the Trustee to be adequate for the
remedying thereof having been made, for a period of 90 days after written notice
shall have been given to the Company and the Guarantor by the Trustee or shall
have been given to the Company, the Guarantor and the Trustee by holders of 25%
or more in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such series then
Outstanding, specifying such failure and requiring the Company or the Guarantor
to remedy the same;

            (e) the entry by a court having jurisdiction in the premises of a
decree or order for relief in respect of the Company and the Guarantor in an
involuntary case under the federal bankruptcy laws, as now or hereafter
constituted, or any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or
other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or appointing a receiver,
liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee or sequestrator (or similar official)
of the Company and the Guarantor or of substantially all the property of the
Company and the Guarantor or ordering the winding-up or liquidation of its
affairs and such decree or order shall remain unstayed and in effect for a
period of 90 consecutive days;

            (f) the commencement by the Company and the Guarantor of a voluntary
case under the federal bankruptcy laws, as now or hereafter constituted, or any
other applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law
now or hereafter in effect, or the consent by the Company and the Guarantor to
the entry of an order for relief in an involuntary case under any such law, or
the consent by the Company and the Guarantor to the appointment of or taking
possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian or
sequestrator (or similar official) of the Company and the Guarantor or of
substantially all the property of the Company and the Guarantor or the making by
it of an assignment for the benefit of creditors or the admission by it in
writing of its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, or the
taking of corporate action by the Company and the Guarantor in furtherance of
any action; or

            (g) the occurrence of any other Event of Default with respect to
Securities of such series as provided in a supplemental indenture or Officers'
Certificate, if any, applicable to such series of Securities.

            SECTION 7.02. Acceleration; Recission and Annulment.

            (a) If any one or more of the above-described Events of Default
shall happen with respect to Securities of any series at the time Outstanding,
then, and in each and every such case, during the continuance of any such Event
of Default, the Trustee or the holders of 25% or more in principal amount of the
Securities of such series then Outstanding may (and upon the written request of
the holders of a majority in principal amount of such Securities then

                                       44
<PAGE>

Outstanding, the Trustee shall) declare the principal (or, if the Securities of
that series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the
principal amount as may be specified in the terms of that series) of and all
accrued but unpaid interest on all the Securities of such series then
Outstanding, if not then due and payable, to be due and payable, and upon any
such declaration the same shall become and be immediately due and payable,
anything in this Indenture or in the Securities of such series contained to the
contrary notwithstanding; provided that no Event of Default with respect to
Securities of a series, except with respect to an Event of Default under
subsections (e) and (f) of Section 7.01 and except to the extent otherwise
provided in subsection (d) of Section 7.01, shall constitute an Event of Default
with respect to Securities of any other series. Upon payment of such amounts in
the Currency in which such Securities are denominated (except as otherwise
provided pursuant to Section 3.01), all obligations of the Company in respect of
the payment of principal of and interest on the Securities of such series shall
terminate.

            (b) This provision, however, is subject to the condition that, if at
any time after the principal of all the Securities of such series, to which any
one or more of the above-described Events of Default is applicable, shall have
been so declared to be due and payable, and before a judgment or decree for
payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in this
Article provided,

            (i) the Company has paid or deposited with the Paying Agent a sum in
      the Currency in which such Securities are denominated (except as otherwise
      provided pursuant to Section 3.01) sufficient to pay

            (A)all arrears of interest, if any, upon all the Securities of such
      series (and all overdue payments with respect to any related Coupons)
      (with interest, to the extent that interest thereon shall be legally
      enforceable, on any overdue installment of interest at the rate borne by
      the Securities or Coupons of such series);

            (B)the principal of and premium, if any, on any Securities of such
      series that have become due otherwise than by such declaration of
      acceleration and interest thereon;

            (C)all amounts owing the Trustee and any predecessor trustee
      hereunder under Section 11.01(a) (provided, however, that all sums payable
      under this clause (C) shall be paid in U.S. Dollars); and

            (D)all other sums payable under this Indenture (except the principal
      of the Securities of such series which would not be due and payable were
      it not for such declaration), shall be paid by the Company or the
      Guarantor; and

            (ii) every other Default and Event of Default under this Indenture
      shall have been made good to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee or
      of the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities of such
      series then Outstanding, or provision deemed by the Trustee or by such
      holders to be adequate therefor shall have been made, then and in every
      such case the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities
      of such series then Outstanding may, by written notice to the Company, the
      Guarantor and the Trustee, on behalf of the holders of all the Securities
      of such series, waive the Event of Default by reason of which the
      principal of the Securities of such

                                       45
<PAGE>
      series shall have been so declared to be due and payable and may rescind
      and annul such declaration and its consequences; provided, however, that
      no such waiver, rescission or annulment shall extend to or affect any
      subsequent Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent
      thereon.

            (c) Any declaration by the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.02
shall be by written notice to the Company and the Guarantor, and any declaration
or waiver by the holders of Securities of any series pursuant to this Section
7.02 shall be by written notice to the Company, the Guarantor and the Trustee.

            (d) For all purposes under this Indenture, if a portion of the
principal of any Discount Securities shall have been accelerated and declared
due and payable pursuant to the provisions hereof, then, from and after such
declaration, unless such declaration has been rescinded and annulled, the
principal amount of such Discount Securities shall be deemed, for all purposes
hereunder, to be such portion of the principal thereof as shall be due and
payable as a result of such acceleration, and payment of such portion of the
principal thereof as shall be due and payable as a result of such acceleration,
together with interest, if any, thereon and all other amounts owing thereunder,
shall constitute payment in full of such Discount Securities.

            (e) The Company, the Guarantor and the Trustee may, to the extent
provided in Section 14.01, enter into one or more indentures supplemental hereto
with respect to any series of the Securities which may provide for additional or
different Events of Default with respect to such series of Securities.

            SECTION 7.03. Other Remedies. If the Company shall fail for a period
of 30 days to pay any installment of interest on the Securities (and Coupons, if
any) of any series or shall fail to pay the principal of and premium, if any, on
any of the Securities of such series when and as the same shall become due and
payable, whether at Maturity, or by call for redemption (other than pursuant to
the sinking fund), by declaration as authorized by this Indenture, or otherwise,
or shall fail for a period of 30 days to make any sinking fund payment as to a
series of Securities, then, upon demand of the Trustee, the Company will pay to
the Paying Agent for the benefit of the holders of Securities of such series
then Outstanding the whole amount which then shall have become due and payable
on all the Securities of such series, with interest on the overdue principal and
premium, if any, and (so far as the same may be legally enforceable) on the
overdue installments of interest at the rate borne by the Securities of such
series, and all amounts owing the Trustee and any predecessor trustee hereunder
under Section 11.01(a).

      In case the Company shall fail forthwith to pay such amounts upon such
demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, shall
be entitled and empowered to institute any action or proceeding at law or in
equity for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute any
such action or proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce any such
judgment or final decree against the Company or any other obligor upon the
Securities of such series, and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be
payable out of the property of the Company or any other obligor upon the
Securities of such series, wherever situated, in the manner provided by law.
Every recovery of judgment in any such action or other proceeding, subject to
the payment to the Trustee of all amounts owing the Trustee and any predecessor
trustee hereunder under Section 11.01(a), shall be for the ratable benefit of
the

                                       46
<PAGE>
holders of such series of Securities which shall be the subject of such action
or proceeding. All rights of action upon or under any of the Securities or this
Indenture may be enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the
Securities and without the production of any thereof at any trial or any
proceeding relative thereto.

            SECTION 7.04. Trustee as Attorney-in-Fact. The Trustee is hereby
appointed, and each and every holder of the Securities, by receiving and holding
the same, shall be conclusively deemed to have appointed the Trustee, the true
and lawful attorney-in-fact of such holder, with authority to make or file
(whether or not the Company shall be in Default in respect of the payment of the
principal of, or interest on, any of the Securities), in its own name and as
trustee of an express trust or otherwise as it shall deem advisable, in any
receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization or other
judicial proceeding relative to the Company or any other obligor upon the
Securities or to their respective creditors or property, any and all claims,
proofs of claim, proofs of debt, petitions, consents, other papers and documents
and amendments of any thereof, as may be necessary or advisable in order to have
the claims of the Trustee and any predecessor trustee hereunder and of the
holders of the Securities allowed in any such proceeding and to collect and
receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claim,
and to execute and deliver any and all other papers and documents and to do and
perform any and all other acts and things, as it may deem necessary or advisable
in order to enforce in any such proceeding any of the claims of the Trustee and
any predecessor trustee hereunder and of any of such holders in respect of any
of the Securities; and any receiver, assignee, trustee, custodian or debtor in
any such proceeding is hereby authorized, and each and every taker or holder of
the Securities, by receiving and holding the same, shall be conclusively deemed
to have authorized any such receiver, assignee, trustee, custodian or debtor, to
make any such payment or delivery only to or on the order of the Trustee, and to
pay to the Trustee any amount due it and any predecessor trustee hereunder under
Section 11.01(a); provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall be
deemed to authorize or empower the Trustee to consent to or accept or adopt, on
behalf of any holder of Securities, any plan of reorganization or readjustment
affecting the Securities or the rights of any holder thereof, or to authorize or
empower the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any holder of any
Securities in any such proceeding.

            SECTION 7.05. Priorities. Any moneys collected by the Trustee with
respect to a series of Securities under this Article Seven shall be applied in
the order following, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee for the
distribution of such moneys, upon presentation of the several Securities, and
stamping thereon the payment, if only partially paid, and upon surrender
thereof, if fully paid:

            First: To the payment of all amounts due to the Trustee and any
      predecessor trustee hereunder under Section 11.01(a).

            Second: In case the principal of the Outstanding Securities of such
      series shall not have become due and be unpaid, to the payment of interest
      on the Securities of such series, in the order of the Maturity of the
      installments of such interest, with interest (to the extent that such
      interest has been collected by the Trustee) upon the overdue installments
      of interest at the rate borne by such Securities, such payments to be made
      ratably to the Persons entitled thereto.

                                       47
<PAGE>
            Third: In case the principal of the Outstanding Securities of such
      series shall have become due, by declaration or otherwise, to the payment
      of the whole amount then owing and unpaid upon the Securities of such
      series for principal and premium, if any, and interest, with interest on
      the overdue principal and premium, if any, and (to the extent that such
      interest has been collected by the Trustee) upon overdue installments of
      interest at the rate borne by the Securities of such series, and in case
      such moneys shall be insufficient to pay in full the whole amounts so due
      and unpaid upon the Securities of such series, then to the payment of such
      principal and premium, if any, and interest without preference or priority
      of principal and premium, if any, over interest, or of interest over
      principal and premium, if any, or of any installment of interest over any
      other installment of interest, or of any Security of such series over any
      other Security of such series, ratably to the aggregate of such principal
      and premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest.

Any surplus then remaining shall be paid to the Company or to such other Persons
as shall be entitled to receive it.

            SECTION 7.06. Waiver of Past Defaults. The holders of a majority in
principal amount of the Securities of any series at the time Outstanding may
direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy
available to the Trustee hereunder, or of exercising any trust or power hereby
conferred upon the Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series,
provided, however, that, subject to the provisions of Sections 11.01 and 11.02,
the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the
Trustee being advised by counsel determines that the action so directed may not
lawfully be taken or would be unduly prejudicial to holders not joining in such
direction or would involve the Trustee in personal liability. Prior to any
declaration accelerating the Maturity of the Securities of any series, the
holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of such series of Securities
at the time Outstanding may on behalf of the holders of all of the Securities of
such series waive any past Default or Event of Default hereunder and its
consequences except a Default in the payment of interest or any premium on or
the principal of the Securities of such series. Upon any such waiver the
Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee and the holders of the Securities of such
series shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder,
respectively; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default
or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. Whenever any Default
or Event of Default hereunder shall have been waived as permitted by this
Section 7.06, said Default or Event of Default shall for all purposes of the
Securities of such series and this Indenture be deemed to have been cured and to
be not continuing.

            SECTION 7.07. Control by Holders. No holder of any Security of any
series shall have any right to institute any action, suit or proceeding at law
or in equity for the execution of any trust hereunder or for the appointment of
a receiver or for any other remedy hereunder, in each case with respect to an
Event of Default with respect to such series of Securities, unless such holder
previously shall have given to the Trustee written notice of the happening of
one or more of the Events of Default herein specified with respect to such
series of Securities, and unless also the holders of 25% in principal amount of
the Securities of such series then Outstanding shall have requested the Trustee
in writing to take action in respect of the matter complained of, and unless
also there shall have been offered to the Trustee security and indemnity
satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred
therein or

                                       48
<PAGE>
thereby, and the Trustee, for 60 days after receipt of such notification,
request and offer of indemnity, shall have neglected or refused to institute any
such action, suit or proceeding; and such notification, request and offer of
indemnity are hereby declared in every such case to be conditions precedent to
any such action, suit or proceeding by any holder of any Security of such
series; it being understood and intended that no one or more of the holders of
Securities of such series shall have any right in any manner whatsoever by his
or their action to enforce any right hereunder, except in the manner herein
provided, and that every action, suit or proceeding at law or in equity shall be
instituted, had and maintained in the manner herein provided and for the equal
benefit of all holders of the Outstanding Securities of such series; provided,
however, that nothing in this Indenture or in the Securities of such series
shall affect or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and
unconditional, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the
Securities of such series to the respective holders of such Securities at the
respective due dates in such Securities stated, or affect or impair the right,
which is also absolute and unconditional, of such holders to institute suit to
enforce the payment thereof.

            SECTION 7.08. Legal Fees. All parties to this Indenture and the
holders of the Securities agree that the court may in its discretion require, in
any action, suit or proceeding for the enforcement of any right or remedy under
this Indenture, or in any action, suit or proceeding against the Trustee for any
action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in
such action, suit or proceeding of an undertaking to pay the costs of such
action, suit or proceeding, and that such court may in its discretion assess
reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees, against any party
litigant in such action, suit or proceeding, having due regard to the merits and
good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; provided,
however, that the provisions of this Section 7.08 shall not apply to any action,
suit or proceeding instituted by the Trustee, to any action, suit or proceeding
instituted by any one or more holders of Securities holding in the aggregate
more than 10% in principal amount of the Securities of any series Outstanding,
or to any action, suit or proceeding instituted by any holder of Securities of
any series for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of or premium, if
any, or the interest on, any of the Securities of such series, on or after the
respective due dates expressed in such Securities.

            SECTION 7.09. Remedies Cumulative. No remedy herein conferred upon
or reserved to the Trustee or to the holders of Securities of any series is
intended to be exclusive of any other remedy or remedies, and each and every
remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given
hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute. No
delay or omission of the Trustee or of any holder of the Securities of any
series to exercise any right or power accruing upon any Default or Event of
Default shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a
waiver of any such Default or Event of Default or an acquiescence therein; and
every power and remedy given by this Article Seven to the Trustee and to the
holders of Securities of any series, respectively, may be exercised from time to
time and as often as may be deemed expedient by the Trustee or by the holders of
Securities of such series, as the case may be. In case the Trustee or any holder
of Securities of any series shall have proceeded to enforce any right under this
Indenture and the proceedings for the enforcement thereof shall have been
discontinued or abandoned because of waiver or for any other reason or shall
have been adjudicated adversely to the Trustee or to such holder of Securities,
then and in every such case the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee and the
holders of the Securities of such series shall severally and respectively be
restored to their former

                                       49
<PAGE>
positions and rights hereunder and thereafter all rights, remedies and powers of
the Trustee and the holders of the Securities of such series shall continue as
though no such proceedings had been taken, except as to any matters so waived or
adjudicated.

                                  ARTICLE VIII

                         CONCERNING THE SECURITYHOLDERS

            SECTION 8.01. Evidence of Action of Securityholders. Whenever in
this Indenture it is provided that the holders of a specified percentage or a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities or of any series of
Securities may take any action (including the making of any demand or request,
the giving of any notice, consent or waiver or the taking of any other action),
the fact that at the time of taking any such action the holders of such
specified percentage or majority have joined therein may be evidenced by (a) any
instrument or any number of instruments of similar tenor executed by
Securityholders in person or by agent or proxy appointed in writing (such action
becoming effective, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, when such
instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is hereby
expressly required, to the Company), or (b) by the record of the holders of
Securities voting in favor thereof at any meeting of Securityholders duly called
and held in accordance with the provisions of Article Seven, or (c) by a
combination of such instrument or instruments and any such record of such a
meeting of Securityholders.

            SECTION 8.02. Proof of Execution or Holding of Securities. Proof of
the execution of any instrument by a Securityholder or his agent or proxy and
proof of the holding by any Person of any of the Securities shall be sufficient
if made in the following manner:

            (a) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such
instrument may be proved (a) by the certificate of any notary public or other
officer in any jurisdiction who, by the laws thereof, has power to take
acknowledgments or proof of deeds to be recorded within such jurisdiction, that
the Person who signed such instrument did acknowledge before such notary public
or other officer the execution thereof, or (b) by the affidavit of a witness of
such execution sworn to before any such notary or other officer. Where such
execution is by a Person acting in other than his individual capacity, such
certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his
authority.

            (b) The ownership of Registered Securities of any series shall be
proved by the Register of such Securities or by a certificate of the Registrar
for such series.

            (c) The ownership of Bearer Securities shall be proved by production
of such Bearer Securities or by a certificate executed by any bank or trust
company, which certificate shall be dated and shall state on the date thereof a
Bearer Security bearing a specified identifying number or other mark was
deposited with or exhibited to the person executing such certificate by the
person named in such certificate, or by any other proof of possession reasonably
satisfactory to the Trustee. The holding by the person named in any such
certificate of any Bearer Security specified therein shall be presumed to
continue for a period of one year unless at the time of determination of such
holding (1) another certificate bearing a later date issued in respect of the
same Bearer Securities shall be produced, (2) such Bearer Security shall be
produced by some other Person, (3) such Bearer Security shall have been
registered on the Register, if, pursuant to

                                       50
<PAGE>
Section 3.01, such Bearer Security can be so registered, or (4) such Bearer
Security shall have been canceled or paid.

            (d) The record of any holders' meeting shall be proved in the manner
provided in Section 9.06.

            (e) The Trustee may require such additional proof of any matter
referred to in this Section 8.02 as it shall deem appropriate or necessary, so
long as the request is a reasonable one.

            (f) If the Company shall solicit from the holders of Securities of
any series any action, the Company may, at its option, by Board Resolution, fix
in advance a record date for the determination of holders of Registered
Securities entitled to take such action, but the Company shall have no
obligation to do so. Any such record date shall be fixed at the Company's
discretion. If such a record date is fixed, such action may be sought or given
before or after the record date, but only the holders of Registered Securities
of record at the close of business on such record date shall be deemed to be
holders of Registered Securities for the purpose of determining whether holders
of the requisite proportion of Outstanding Securities of such series have
authorized or agreed or consented to such action, and for that purpose the
Outstanding Registered Securities of such series shall be computed as of such
record date.

            SECTION 8.03. Persons Deemed Owners.

            (a) The Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the
Trustee may treat the Person in whose name any Registered Security is registered
as the owner of such Registered Security for the purpose of receiving payment of
principal of and premium, if any, and (subject to Section 3.08) interest, if
any, on, such Registered Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether
or not such Registered Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee
nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the
contrary. The Company, the Trustee, and any agent of the Company or the Trustee
may treat the holder of any Bearer Security or of any Coupon as the absolute
owner of such Bearer Security or Coupon for the purposes of receiving payment
thereof or on account thereof and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or
not such Bearer Security or Coupon be overdue, and neither the Company, the
Trustee nor any agent of the Company or any Trustee shall be affected by notice
to the contrary. All payments made to any holder, or upon his order, shall be
valid, and, to the extent of the sum or sums paid, effectual to satisfy and
discharge the liability for moneys payable upon such Security or Coupon.

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

            SECTION 8.04. Revocation of Consents. At any time prior to (but not
after) the evidencing to the Trustee, as provided in Section 8.01, of the taking
of any action by the holders of the percentage in aggregate principal amount of
the Securities or of any series of Securities specified in this Indenture in
connection with such action, any holder of a Security which is shown by the
evidence to be included in the Securities the holders of which have

                                       51
<PAGE>
consented to such action may, by filing written notice with the Trustee at its
principal office and upon proof of holding as provided in Section 8.02, revoke
such action so far as concerns such Security. Except as aforesaid, any such
action taken by the holder of any Security shall be conclusive and binding upon
such holder and upon all future holders of such Security, and all past, present
and future holders of Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto and of any
Securities and Coupons issued on transfer or in lieu thereof or in exchange or
substitution therefor, irrespective of whether or not any notation in regard
thereto is made upon such Security or Coupons or such other Securities or
Coupons or any Security or Coupons issued in exchange or substitution therefor.

                                   ARTICLE IX

of New York, as the Trustee shall determine. Notice of every meeting of the
Securityholders of a series, setting forth the time and the place of such
meeting and in general terms the action proposed to be taken at such meeting,
shall be mailed to holders of Securities of such series at their addresses as
they shall appear on the Register of the Company. Such notice shall be mailed
not less than 20 nor more than 90 days prior to the date fixed for the meeting.

            SECTION 9.03. Call of Meetings by Company or Securityholders. In
case at any time the Company, pursuant to a resolution of its Board of
Directors, or the holders of at least 10% in aggregate principal amount of the

the Trustee to call a meeting of Securityholders of such series (or of all
series), by

                                       52
<PAGE>
written request setting forth in reasonable detail the action proposed to be
taken at the meeting, and the Trustee shall not have mailed the notice of such
meeting within 20 days after receipt of such request, then the Company or such
Securityholders may determine the time and the place in said Borough of
Manhattan for such meeting and may call such meeting to take any action
authorized in Section 9.01, by mailing notice thereof as provided in Section
9.02.

            SECTION 9.04. Qualifications for Voting. To be entitled to vote at
any meeting of Securityholders, a Person shall (a) be a holder of one or more
Securities affected by the action proposed to be taken at the meeting or (b) be

counsel and any representatives of the Company, the Guarantor and their
respective counsel.

            SECTION 9.05. Regulation of Meetings.

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

            (b) The Trustee shall, by an instrument in writing, appoint a
temporary chairman of the meeting, unless the meeting shall have been called by
the Company or by Securityholders as provided in Section 9.03, in which case the
Company or the Securityholders calling the meeting, as the case may be, shall in
like manner appoint a temporary chairman. A permanent chairman and a permanent
secretary of the meeting shall be elected by majority vote of the meeting.

            (c) At any meeting of Securityholders of a series, each
Securityholder of such series of such Securityholder's proxy shall be entitled
to one vote for each $1,000 principal amount of Securities of such series
Outstanding held or represented by him; provided, however, that no vote shall be
cast or counted at any meeting in respect of any Security challenged as not
Outstanding and ruled by the chairman of the meeting to be not Outstanding. The
chairman of the meeting shall have no right to vote other than by virtue of
Securities of such series held by him or her or instruments in writing as
aforesaid duly designating him or her as the Person to vote on behalf of other
Securityholders. At any meeting of the Securityholders duly called pursuant to
the provisions of Section 9.02 or 9.03 the presence of Persons holding or
representing Securities in an aggregate principal amount sufficient to take
action upon the business for the transaction of which such meeting was called
shall be necessary to constitute a quorum, and any such meeting may be adjourned
from time to time by a majority of those present, whether or not constituting a
quorum, and the meeting may be held as so adjourned without further notice.

            SECTION 9.06. Voting. The vote upon any resolution submitted to any
meeting of Securityholders of a series shall be by written ballots on which
shall be subscribed the signatures of the holders of Securities of such series
or of their representatives by proxy and the

                                       53
<PAGE>
principal amounts of the Securities of such series held or represented by them.
The permanent chairman of the meeting shall appoint two inspectors of votes who
shall count all votes cast at the meeting for or against any resolution and who
shall make and file with the secretary of the meeting their verified written
reports in duplicate of all votes cast at the meeting. A record in duplicate of
the proceedings of each meeting of Securityholders shall be prepared by the
secretary of the meeting and there shall be attached to said record the original
reports of the inspectors of votes on any vote by ballot taken thereat and
affidavits by one or more Persons having knowledge of the facts setting forth a
copy of the notice of the meeting and showing that said notice was mailed as
provided in Section 9.02. The record shall show the principal amounts of the
Securities voting in favor of or against any resolution. The record shall be
signed and verified by the affidavits of the permanent chairman and secretary of
the meeting and one of the duplicates shall be delivered to the Company and the
other to the Trustee to be preserved by the Trustee.

      Any record so signed and verified shall be conclusive evidence of the
matters therein stated.

            SECTION 9.07. No Relay of Rights by Meeting. Nothing contained in
this Article Nine shall be deemed or construed to authorize or permit, by reason
of any call of a meeting of Securityholders of any series or any rights
expressly or impliedly conferred hereunder to make such call, any hindrance or
delay in the exercise of any right or rights conferred upon or reserved to the
Trustee or to the Securityholders of such series under any of the provisions of
this Indenture or of the Securities of such series.

60 days after each May 15 following the date of this Indenture deliver to
holders a brief report, dated as of such May 15, which complies with the

annual reports and of the information, documents and other reports which the
Company or the Guarantor may be required to file with the SEC pursuant to the

SEC, such of the supplementary and periodic information, documents and reports
which may be required pursuant to the provisions of Section 13 of the Exchange
Act, in respect of a Security listed and registered on a national securities
exchange, as may be prescribed in such rules and regulations.

            (b) The Company and the Guarantor shall file with the Trustee and
the SEC, in accordance with rules and regulations prescribed by the SEC, such
additional information, documents and reports with respect to compliance by the
Company and the Guarantor, as applicable, with the conditions and covenants
provided for in this Indenture as may be required by such rules and regulations.

            (c) The Company and the Guarantor shall transmit to the holders of

from time to time by the SEC.

            (d) Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the
Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee's receipt of such

determinable from information contained therein, including the Company's and the
Guarantor's compliance, as applicable, with any of its covenants hereunder (as
to which the Trustee is entitled to conclusively rely exclusively on Officer's
Certificates).

            SECTION 10.03. Securityholders' Lists. The Company covenants and
agrees that it will furnish or cause to be furnished to the Trustee:

            (a) semi-annually, within 15 days after each Record Date, but in any

may reasonably require of the names and addresses of the holders of Securities
to which such Record Date applies, as of such Record Date, and

                                       55
<PAGE>
            (b) at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing,
within 30 days after receipt by the Company of any such request, a list of
similar form and content as of a date not more than 15 days prior to the time
such list is furnished;

provided, however, that so long as the Trustee shall be the Registrar, such

                                   ARTICLE XI

                             CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE

            SECTION 11.01. Rights of Trustees; Compensation and Indemnity. The
Trustee accepts the trusts created by this Indenture upon the terms and
conditions hereof, including the following, to all of which the parties hereto
and the holders from time to time of the Securities agree:

            (a) The Trustee shall be entitled to such compensation as the
Company and the Trustee shall from time to time agree in writing 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), and such compensation, as well as the reasonable compensation of its
counsel, and all other reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred
or made by the Trustee hereunder, the Company agrees to pay promptly on demand
from time to time as such services shall be rendered and as such expenses shall
be incurred. The Company also agrees to indemnify each of the Trustee and any
predecessor Trustee hereunder for, and to hold it harmless against, any and all
loss, liability, damage, claim, or expense incurred without its own negligence
or bad faith, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or
administration of the trust or trusts hereunder and the performance of its
duties, as well as the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim
or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers
or duties hereunder. As security for the performance of the obligations of the
Company under this subdivision (a) the Trustee shall have a lien therefor on any
moneys held by the Trustee hereunder prior to any rights therein of the holders
of the Securities. Notwithstanding any provisions of this Indenture to the
contrary, the obligations of the Company to compensate and indemnify the Trustee
under this Section 11.01(a) shall survive the resignation or removal of the
Trustee and any satisfaction and discharge under Article Twelve.

            When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event
of Default specified in clause (e) or (f) of Section 7.01 occurs, the expenses
and compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of
administration under any applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or
similar laws.

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

            (c) The Trustee shall not be responsible in any manner whatsoever
for the correctness of the recitals herein or in the Securities (except its
certificates of authentication thereon) contained, all of which are made solely
by the Company or the Guarantor; and the

                                       56
<PAGE>
Trustee shall not be responsible or accountable in any manner whatsoever for or
with respect to the validity or execution or sufficiency of this Indenture or of
the Securities (except its certificates of authentication thereon), and the
Trustee makes no representation with respect thereto. The Trustee shall not be
accountable for the use or application by the Company of any Securities, or the
proceeds of any Securities, authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in
conformity with the provisions of this Indenture.

            (d) The Trustee may consult with counsel of its selection, and, to
the extent permitted by Section 11.02, any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and
complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered
by the Trustee hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such Opinion of
Counsel.

            (e) The Trustee, to the extent permitted by Section 11.02, may rely
upon the certificate of the Secretary or one of the Assistant Secretaries of the
Company or the Guarantor, as applicable, as to the adoption of any resolution by
the Board of Directors or stockholders of the Company or the Guarantor, and any
request, direction, order or demand of the Company or the Guarantor mentioned
herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by, and whenever in the administration of
this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or
established prior to taking, offering or omitting any action hereunder, the
Trustee may rely upon, an Officers' Certificate (unless other evidence in
respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed).

            (f) The Trustee or any agent of the Trustee, in its individual or
any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and, subject
to Sections 310(b) and 311 of the Trust Indenture Act, may otherwise deal with
each of the Company and the Guarantor with the same rights it would have had if
it were not the Trustee or such agent.

            (g) 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.

            (h) Any action taken by the Trustee pursuant to any provision hereof
at the request or with the consent of any Person who at the time is the holder
of any Security shall be conclusive and binding in respect of such Security upon
all future holders thereof or of any Security or Securities which may be issued
for or in lieu thereof in whole or in part, whether or not such Security shall
have noted thereon the fact that such request or consent had been made or given.

            (i) Subject to the provisions of Section 11.02, the Trustee may
conclusively rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting
upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report,
notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond, debenture or other paper or
document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by
the proper party or parties.

            (j) Subject to the provisions of Section 11.02, the Trustee shall
not be under any obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it
by this Indenture at the request, order or direction of any of the holders of
the Securities, pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, unless one or more
of the holders of the Securities shall have offered to the Trustee

                                       57
<PAGE>
security or indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and
liabilities which may be incurred by it therein or thereby.

            (k) Subject to the provisions of Section 11.02, the Trustee shall
not be liable for any action taken or omitted by it in good faith and believed
by it to be authorized or within its discretion or within the rights or powers
conferred upon it by this Indenture.

            (l) Subject to the provisions of the first paragraph of Section
11.02, 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, consent, order, approval, bond, debenture or
other paper or document.

            (m) Subject to the provisions of Section 11.02, the Trustee shall
not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of any Default or Event of Default
unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or
unless the holders of not less than 25% of the Outstanding Securities notify the
Trustee thereof.

            (n) 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 at the sole cost of the Company and shall incur no liability or
additional liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation.

            (o) The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits
given to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be
indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each
of its capacities hereunder.

            (p) The Trustee may request that the Company deliver a certificate
setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles of officers authorized at
such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture.

            SECTION 11.02. Duties of Trustee.

            (a) If one or more of the Events of Default specified in Section
7.01 with respect to the Securities of any series shall have happened, then,
during the continuance thereof, the Trustee shall, with respect to such
Securities, exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this
Indenture, and shall use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as
a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of
such person's own affairs.

            (b) None of the provisions of this Indenture shall be construed as
relieving the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own
negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that, anything
in this Indenture contained to the contrary notwithstanding,

                                       58
<PAGE>
            (i) unless and until an Event of Default specified in Section 7.01
with respect to the Securities of any series shall have happened which at the
time is continuing,

            (A)the Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such
      duties with respect to the Securities of that series as are specifically
      set out in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall
      be read into this Indenture against the Trustee, whose duties and
      obligations shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this
      Indenture; and

            (B)the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the
      statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, in the
      absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee, upon certificates and
      opinions furnished to it pursuant to the express provisions of this
      Indenture; but in the case of any such certificates or opinions which, by
      the provisions of this Indenture, are specifically required to be
      furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the
      same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this
      Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of
      mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein);

            (ii) the Trustee shall not be liable to any holder of Securities or
      to any other Person for any error of judgment made in good faith by a
      Responsible Officer or Officers of the Trustee, unless it shall be proved
      that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and

            (iii) the Trustee shall not be liable to any holder of Securities or
      to any other Person with respect to any action taken or omitted to be
      taken by it in good faith, in accordance with the direction of
      Securityholders given as provided in Section 7.06, relating to the time,
      method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to
      it or exercising any trust or power conferred upon it by this Indenture.

            (c) None of the provisions of this Indenture shall be construed as
requiring the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise to 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 there shall be reasonable grounds
for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such
risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

            (d) 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 11.02.

            SECTION 11.03. Notice of Defaults. Within 90 days after the
occurrence thereof, the Trustee shall give to the holders of the Securities and
Coupons of a series notice of each Default with respect to the Securities or
Coupons, if any, of such series known to the Trustee, by transmitting such
notice to holders at their addresses as the same shall then appear on the
Register of the Company, unless such Default shall have been cured before the
giving of such notice (the term "Default" being hereby defined to be the events
specified in Section 7.01, which are, or after notice or lapse of time or both
would become, Events of Default as defined in said Section); but, unless such
Default be the failure to pay the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on
any of the Securities or Coupons, if any, of

                                       59
<PAGE>
such series when and as the same shall become payable, or to make any sinking
fund payment as to Securities of the same series, the Trustee shall be protected
in withholding such notice, if and so long as the Board of Directors, the
executive committee or a trust committee of directors or Responsible Officers of
the Trustee in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in
the interests of the holders of the Securities of such series.

            SECTION 11.04. Eligibility; Disqualification.

            (a) The Trustee shall at all times satisfy the requirements of TIA
Section 310(a). The Trustee shall have a combined capital and surplus of at
least $50 million as set forth in its more recent published annual report of
condition, and shall have its Corporate Trust Office or an agency in New York,
New York; provided, however, that if Section 310(a) of the Trust Indenture Act
or the rules and regulations of the Commission under the Trust Indenture Act at
any time permit a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of any
other jurisdiction to serve as trustee of an indenture qualified under the Trust
Indenture Act, this Section 11.04 shall be automatically amended to permit a
corporation organized and doing business under the laws of any such other
jurisdiction to serve as Trustee hereunder. If such corporation publishes
reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements
of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of
this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be
deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent
report of condition so published. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be
eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, it shall resign
immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this
Article.

            (b) The Trustee shall comply with TIA Section 310(b); provided,
however, that there shall be excluded from the operation of TIA Section
310(b)(i) any indenture or indentures under which other securities or
certificates of interest or participation in other securities of the Company or
the Guarantor are outstanding if the requirements for such exclusion set forth
in TIA Section 310(b)(i) are met. If the Trustee has or shall acquire a
conflicting interest within the meaning of Section 310(b) 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. If Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act
is amended any time after the date of this Indenture to change the circumstances
under which a Trustee shall be deemed to have a conflicting interest with
respect to the Securities of any series or to change any of the definitions in
connection therewith, this Section 11.04 shall be automatically amended to
incorporate such changes.

            SECTION 11.05. Registration and Notice; Removal. The Trustee, or any
successor to it hereafter appointed, may at any time resign and be discharged of
the trusts hereby created with respect to any one or more or all series of
Securities by giving to the Company and to the Guarantor notice in writing and
by mailing notice thereof to the holders of Securities of such series at their
addresses as the same shall then appear in the Register of the Company. Such
resignation shall take effect upon the appointment of a successor Trustee and
the acceptance of such appointment by such successor Trustee. Any Trustee
hereunder may be removed with respect to any series of Securities at any time by
the filing with such Trustee and the delivery to the Company and to the
Guarantor of an instrument or instruments in writing signed by the holders of a
majority in principal amount of the Securities of such series then Outstanding,
specifying such removal and the date when it shall become effective.

                                       60
<PAGE>
      Upon its resignation or removal, any Trustee shall be entitled to the
payment of reasonable compensation for the services rendered hereunder by such
Trustee and to the payment of all reasonable expenses incurred hereunder and all
moneys then due to it hereunder. The Trustee's rights to indemnification
provided in Section 11.01(a) shall survive its resignation or removal.

            SECTION 11.06. Successor Trustee by Appointment.

            (a) In case at any time the Trustee shall resign, or shall be
removed (unless the Trustee shall be removed as provided in Section 11.04(b), in
which event the vacancy shall be filled as provided in said subdivision), or
shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent,
or if a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or if 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 with
respect to the Securities of one or more series, a successor Trustee 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 series) may be appointed by the holders of
a majority in principal amount of the Securities of that or those series then
Outstanding, by an instrument or instruments in writing signed in duplicate by
such holders and filed, one original thereof with the Company and the other with
the successor Trustee; but, until a successor Trustee shall have been so
appointed by the holders of Securities of that or those series as herein
authorized, the Company by a resolution of its Board of Directors, or, in case
all or substantially all the assets of the Company shall be in the possession of
one or more custodians or receivers lawfully appointed, or of trustees in
bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings (including a trustee or trustees
appointed under the provisions of the federal bankruptcy laws, as now or
hereafter constituted), or of assignees for the benefit of creditors, such
receivers, custodians, trustees or assignees, as the case may be, by an
instrument in writing, shall appoint a successor Trustee with respect to the
Securities of such series. Subject to the provisions of Sections 11.04 and
11.05, upon the appointment as aforesaid of a successor Trustee with respect to
the Securities of any series, the Trustee with respect to the Securities of such
series shall cease to be Trustee hereunder. After any such appointment other
than by the holders of Securities of that or those series, the Person making
such appointment shall forthwith cause notice thereof to be mailed to the
holders of Securities of such series at their addresses as the same shall then
appear on the Register of the Company but any successor Trustee with respect to
the Securities of such series so appointed shall, immediately and without
further act, be superseded by a successor Trustee appointed by the holders of
Securities of such series in the manner above prescribed, if such appointment be
made prior to the expiration of one year from the date of the mailing of such
notice by the Company, or by such receivers, trustees or assignees.

            (b) If any Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more
series shall resign because of conflicting interest as provided in Section
11.04(b) and a successor Trustee shall not have been appointed by the Company or
by the holders of the Securities of such series or, if any successor Trustee so
appointed shall not have accepted its appointment within 30 days after such
appointment shall have been made, the resigning Trustee at the expense of the
Company may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of
a successor Trustee. If in any other case a successor Trustee shall not be
appointed pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.06 within
three months after such appointment might have been

                                       61
<PAGE>
made hereunder, the holder of any Security of the applicable series or any
retiring Trustee at the expense of the Company may apply to any court of
competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor Trustee. Such court may thereupon,
in any such case, after such notice, if any, as such court may deem proper and
prescribe, appoint a successor Trustee.

            (c) Any successor Trustee appointed hereunder with respect to the
Securities of one or more series shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to its
predecessor Trustee and to the Company, or to the receivers, trustees, assignees
or court appointing it, as the case may be, an instrument accepting such
appointment hereunder, and thereupon such successor Trustee, without any further
act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the authority, rights,
powers, trusts, immunities, duties and obligations with respect to such series
of such predecessor Trustee with like effect as if originally named as Trustee
hereunder, and such predecessor Trustee, upon payment of its charges and
disbursements then unpaid, shall thereupon become obligated to pay over, and
such successor Trustee shall be entitled to receive, all moneys and properties
held by such predecessor Trustee as Trustee hereunder. Nevertheless, on the
written request of the Company or of the successor Trustee or of the holders of
at least 10% in principal amount of the Securities of such series then
Outstanding, such predecessor Trustee, upon payment of its said charges and
disbursements, shall execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such
successor Trustee upon the trusts herein expressed all the rights, powers and
trusts of such predecessor Trustee and shall assign, transfer and deliver to the
successor Trustee all moneys and properties held by such predecessor Trustee;
and, upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Company and the Guarantor
shall make, execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all instruments in writing
for more fully and effectually vesting in and confirming to such successor
Trustee all such authority, rights, powers, trusts, immunities, duties and
obligations.

            SECTION 11.07. Successor Trustee by Merger. Any corporation into
which the Trustee or any successor to it in the trusts created by this Indenture
shall be merged or converted, or any corporation with which it or any successor
to it shall be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger,
conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee or any such successor to it
shall be a party, or any corporation to which the Trustee or any successor to it
shall sell or otherwise transfer all or substantially all of the corporate trust
business of the Trustee, shall be the successor Trustee under this Indenture
without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of
any of the parties hereto; provided that such corporation shall be otherwise
qualified and eligible under this Article. In case at the time such successor to
the Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture with respect
to one or more series of Securities, any of such Securities shall have been
authenticated but not delivered by the Trustee then in office, any successor to
such Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor
Trustee, and deliver such Securities so authenticated; and in case at that time
any of the Securities shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the
Trustee may authenticate such Securities either in the name of any predecessor
hereunder or in the name of the successor Trustee; and in all such cases such
certificates shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the Securities or
in this Indenture provided that the certificate of the Trustee shall have;
provided, however, that the right to adopt the certificate of authentication of
any predecessor Trustee or authenticate Securities in the name of any
predecessor Trustee shall apply only to its successor or successors by merger,
conversion or consolidation.

                                       62
<PAGE>
            SECTION 11.08. Right to Rely on Officer's Certificate. Subject to
Section 11.02, and subject to the provisions of Section 16.02 with respect to
the certificates required thereby, whenever in the administration of the
provisions of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it necessary or desirable
that a matter be proved or established prior to taking or suffering any action
hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein
specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of negligence or bad faith on the
part of the Trustee, be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by an
Officers' Certificate with respect thereto delivered to the Trustee, and such
Officers' Certificate, in the absence of negligence or bad faith on the part of
the Trustee, shall be full warrant to the Trustee for any action taken, suffered
or omitted by it under the provisions of this Indenture upon the faith thereof.

            SECTION 11.09. Appointment of Authenticating Agent. The Trustee may
appoint an agent (the "Authenticating Agent") reasonably acceptable to the
Company to authenticate the Securities. Unless limited by the terms of such
appointment, any such Authenticating Agent may authenticate Securities whenever
the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the
Trustee includes authentication by the Authenticating Agent.

            SECTION 11.10. Communications by Holders with Other Holders. Holders
may communicate pursuant to Section 312(b) of the Trust Indenture Act with other
holders with respect to their rights under this Indenture or the Securities. The
Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee, the Registrar and anyone else shall have
the protection of Section 312(c) of the Trust Indenture Act with respect to such
communications.

                                   ARTICLE XII

                     SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE; DEFEASANCE

            SECTION 12.01. Applicability of Article. If, pursuant to Section
3.01, provision is made for the defeasance of Securities of a series and if the
Securities of such series are Registered Securities and denominated and payable
only in U.S. Dollars (except as provided pursuant to Section 3.01), then the
provisions of this Article shall be applicable except as otherwise specified
pursuant to Section 3.01 for Securities of such series. Defeasance provisions,
if any, for Securities denominated in a Foreign Currency or for Bearer
Securities may be specified pursuant to Section 3.01.

            SECTION 12.02. Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture. This
Indenture, with respect to the Securities of any series (if all series issued
under this Indenture are not to be affected), shall, upon Company Request, cease
to be of further effect (except as to any surviving rights of registration of
transfer or exchange of such Securities herein expressly provided for and rights
to receive payments of principal of and premium, if any, and interest on such
Securities and any right to receive additional interest as provided in Section
6.02) and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper
instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, when,

            (a) either:

                                       63
<PAGE>

      theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than (i) Coupons
      appertaining to Bearer Securities of such series surrendered in exchange
      for Registered Securities of such series and maturing after such exchange,
      surrender of which is not required or has been waived as provided in
      Section 3.06, (ii) Securities and Coupons of such series that have been
      destroyed, lost or stolen and that have been replaced or paid as provided
      in Section 3.07, (iii) Coupons appertaining to Bearer Securities of such

      Date, surrender of which has been waived as provided in Section 4.06 and
      (iv) Securities and Coupons of such series for whose payment money has
      theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the
      Company and thereafter repaid to the Company or discharged from such
      trust, as provided in Section 6.04) have been delivered to the Trustee for
      cancellation; or

            (ii) all Securities and the Coupons, if any, of such series not
      theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation,

            (A)have become due and payable, or

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

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

      and the Company, in the case of (i), (ii) or (iii) above, has irrevocably
      deposited or caused to be deposited with the Paying Agent as trust funds
      in trust for the purpose an amount in the Currency in which such
      Securities are denominated (except as otherwise provided pursuant to
      Section 3.01) sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on
      such Securities for principal and premium, if any, and interest to the
      date of such deposit (in the case of Securities and Coupons that have
      become due and payable) or to the Stated Maturity or Redemption Date, as
      the case may be; provided, however, in the event a petition for relief
      under federal bankruptcy laws, as now or hereafter constituted, or any
      other applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar
      law, is filed with respect to the Company within 91 days after the deposit
      and the Trustee is required to return the moneys then on deposit with the
      Trustee to the Company, the obligations of the Company under this
      Indenture with respect to such Securities shall not be deemed terminated
      or discharged;

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

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

Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the
obligations of the Company to the Trustee under Section 11.01 are, if money
shall have been deposited with the Trustee

                                       64
<PAGE>
pursuant to subclause (B) of clause (1) of this Section, the obligations of the
Trustee under Section 12.07 and the last paragraph of Section 6.04(e) shall
survive.

obligation to comply with any term, provision or condition set forth in Section
6.05 with respect to Securities of any series (and, if so specified pursuant to

irrevocably with the Paying Agent as trust funds in trust, specifically pledged
as security for, and dedicated solely to, the benefit of the holders of the
Securities of such series (i) money in an amount, or (ii) U.S. Government
Obligations (as defined below) that through the payment of interest and
principal 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

installment of principal (including any mandatory sinking fund payments) of and
premium, if any, and interest on, the Outstanding Securities of such series on
the dates such installments of interest or principal and premium are due;

            (b) If the Securities of such series are then listed on the New York
Stock Exchange, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of
Counsel to the effect that the Company's exercise of its option under this
Section would not cause such Securities to be delisted;

            (c) No Event of Default or event (including such deposit) that, with
notice or lapse of time, or both, would become an Event of Default with respect
to the Securities of such series shall have occurred and be continuing on the
date of such deposit; and

recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result
of the Company's exercise of its option under this Section and will be subject
to federal income tax on the same amounts and in the same manner and at the same
times as would have been the case if such action had not been exercised and, in
the case of the Securities of such series being Discharged accompanied by a
ruling to that effect received from or published by the Internal Revenue
Service.

            "Discharged" means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and
discharged the entire indebtedness represented by, and obligations under, the
Securities of such series and to have satisfied all the obligations under this
Indenture relating to the Securities of such series (and the Trustee, at the
expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the
same), except (A) the rights of holders of Securities of such series to receive,

            SECTION 12.06. Deposits to Be Held in Escrow. Any deposits with the
Paying Agent referred to in Section 12.03 above shall be irrevocable (except to
the extent provided in Sections 12.04 and 12.07) and shall be made under the
terms of an escrow trust agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the
Trustee. If any Outstanding Securities of a series are to be redeemed prior to
their Stated Maturity, whether pursuant to any optional redemption provisions or
in accordance with any mandatory or optional sinking fund requirement, the
applicable escrow trust agreement shall provide therefor and the Company shall
make such arrangements as are satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of
notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the
Company. The agreement shall provide that, upon satisfaction of any mandatory
sinking fund payment requirements, whether by deposit of moneys, application of
proceeds of deposited U.S. Government Obligations or, if permitted, by delivery
of Securities, the Trustee shall pay or deliver over to the Company as excess
moneys pursuant to Section 12.04 all funds or obligations then held under the
agreement and allocable to the sinking fund payment requirements so satisfied.

      If Securities of a series with respect to which such deposits are made may
be subject to later redemption at the option of the Company or pursuant to
optional sinking fund payments, the applicable escrow trust agreement may, at
the option of the Company, provide therefor. In the case of an optional
redemption in whole or in part, such agreement shall require the Company to
deposit with the Trustee on or before the date notice of redemption is given
funds sufficient to

                                       66
<PAGE>
pay the Redemption Price of the Securities to be redeemed together with all
unpaid interest thereon to the Redemption Date. Upon such deposit of funds, the
Trustee shall pay or deliver over to the Company as excess funds pursuant to
Section 12.04 all funds or obligations then held under such agreement and
allocable to the Securities to be redeemed. In the case of exercise of optional
sinking fund payment rights by the Company, such agreement shall, at the option
of the Company, provide that upon deposit by the Company with the Trustee of
funds pursuant to such exercise the Trustee shall pay or deliver over to the
Company as excess funds pursuant to Section 12.04 all funds or obligations then
held under such agreement for such series and allocable to the Securities to be
redeemed.

            SECTION 12.07. Application of Trust Money.

            (a) Neither the Trustee nor any other paying agent shall be required
to pay interest on any moneys deposited pursuant to the provisions of this
Indenture, except such as it shall agree with the Company to pay thereon. Any
moneys so deposited for the payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or
interest on the Securities of any series and remaining unclaimed for two years
after the date of the maturity of the Securities of such series or the date
fixed for the redemption of all the Securities of such series at the time
outstanding, as the case may be, shall be repaid by the Trustee or such other
paying agent to the Company upon its written request and thereafter, anything in
this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, any rights of the holders of
Securities of such series in respect of which such moneys shall have been
deposited shall be enforceable only against the Company, and all liability of
the Trustee or such other paying agent with respect to such moneys shall
thereafter cease.

            (b) Subject to the provisions of the foregoing paragraph, any moneys
which at any time shall be deposited by the Company or on its behalf with the
Trustee or any other paying agent for the purpose of paying the principal of,
premium, if any, and interest on any of the Securities shall be and are hereby
assigned, transferred and set over to the Trustee or such other paying agent in
trust for the respective holders of the Securities for the purpose for which
such moneys shall have been deposited; but such moneys need not be segregated
from other funds except to the extent required by law.

            SECTION 12.08. Deposits of Non-U.S. Currencies. Notwithstanding the
foregoing provisions of this Article, if the Securities of any series are
payable in a Currency other than U.S. Dollars, the Currency or the nature of the
government obligations to be deposited with the Trustee under the foregoing
provisions of this Article shall be as set forth in the Officers' Certificate or
established in the supplemental indenture under which the Securities of such
series are issued.

                                  ARTICLE XIII

                           IMMUNITY OF CERTAIN PERSONS

            SECTION 13.01. No Personal Liability. No recourse shall be had for
the payment of the principal of, or the premium, if any, or interest on, any
Security or Coupon or for any claim based thereon or otherwise in respect
thereof or of the indebtedness represented thereby, or upon any obligation,
covenant or agreement of this Indenture, against any incorporator, stockholder,
officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of the Company,

                                       67
<PAGE>
the Guarantor or of any successor corporation, either directly or through the
Company, the Guarantor or any successor corporation, whether by virtue of any
constitutional provision, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any
assessment or penalty or otherwise; it being expressly agreed and understood
that this Indenture, the Securities and the Guarantee endorsed thereon are
solely corporate obligations, and that no personal liability whatsoever shall
attach to, or be incurred by, any incorporator, stockholder, officer or
director, as such, past, present or future, of the Company, the Guarantor or of
any successor corporation, either directly or through the Company, the Guarantor
or any successor corporation, because of the incurring of the indebtedness
hereby authorized or under or by reason of any of the obligations, covenants,
promises or agreements contained in this Indenture or in any of the Securities
or Coupons or the Guarantee endorsed thereon, or to be implied herefrom or
therefrom, and that all liability, if any, of that character against every such
incorporator, stockholder, officer and director is, by the acceptance of the
Securities and the Guarantee endorsed thereon and as a condition of, and as part
of the consideration for, the execution of this Indenture and the issue of the
Securities expressly waived and released.

                                   ARTICLE XIV

                             SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES

            SECTION 14.01. Without Consent of Holders. The Company (when

Guarantor, to be observed thereafter and during the period, if any, in such

benefit of such series as shall be identified therein), or to surrender any
right or power herein conferred upon the Company or the Guarantor;

            (b) to delete or modify any Events of Default with respect to all or

Securities, specifying the series to which such Event of Default is applicable),
and to specify the rights and remedies of the Trustee and the holders of such
Securities in connection therewith;

            (c) to add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture to

eliminate any restrictions on the payment of principal of or premium, if any, on

Bearer Securities or to permit Registered Securities to be exchanged for Bearer

interests of the holders of Securities or any Coupons of any series in any
material respect, or to permit or facilitate the issuer of Securities of any
series in uncertificated form;

                                       68
<PAGE>
            (d) to change or eliminate any of the provisions of this Indenture;
provided that any such change or elimination shall become effective only when

provision and as to which such supplemental indenture would apply;

            (e) to evidence the succession of another corporation to the Company
or the Guarantor, or successive successions, and the assumption by a successor,
transferee or lessee corporation of the covenants and obligations of the Company
or the Guarantor, as applicable, contained in the Securities of one or more
series and in this Indenture or any supplemental indenture;

            (f) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment

Coupons, if any;

            (j) to convey, transfer, assign, mortgage or pledge to the Trustee
as security for the Securities any property or assets which the Guarantor may be
required to convey, transfer, assign, mortgage or pledge in accordance with the
provisions of Section 15.04;

interests of the holders of the Securities of any series or any appurtenant
Coupons in any material respects;

            (l) to prohibit the authentication and delivery of additional series
of Securities; or

            (m) to establish the form and terms of the Securities of Coupons, if
any, of any series as permitted in Section 3.01, or to authorize the issuance of

purposes of issue, authentication or delivery of the Securities of any series,
as herein set forth, or other conditions, limitations or restrictions thereafter
to be observed.

      Subject to the provisions of Section 14.03, the Trustee is authorized to
join with the Company and the Guarantor in the execution of any such
supplemental indenture, to make the further agreements and stipulations which
may be therein contained and to accept the conveyance, transfer, assignment,
mortgage or pledge of any property or assets thereunder.

      Any supplemental indenture authorized by the provisions of this Section
14.01 may be executed by the Company, the Guarantor and the Trustee without the
consent of the holders of any of the Securities at the time Outstanding,
notwithstanding any of the provisions of Section 14.02.

            SECTION 14.02. With Consent of Holders; Limitations.

            (a) With the consent (evidenced as provided in Article Eight) of the
holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities of each series affected by such supplemental indenture voting
separately, the Company (when authorized by a resolution of the Board of
Directors), the Guarantor and the Trustee may, from time to time and at any
time, enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for the purpose
of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any
provisions of this Indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the
holders of the Securities of such series to be affected; provided, however, that
no such supplemental indenture shall, without the consent of the holder of each
Outstanding Security of each such series affected thereby,

            (i) extend the Stated Maturity of the principal of, or any
      installment of interest on, any Security, or reduce the principal amount
      thereof or the interest thereon or any premium payable upon redemption
      thereof, or extend the Stated Maturity of or reduce the amount of any
      payment to be made with respect to any Coupon, or change the Currency in
      which the principal of and premium, if any, or interest on such Security
      is denominated or payable, or reduce the amount of the principal of an
      Original Issue Discount Security that would be due and payable upon a
      declaration of acceleration of the Maturity thereof pursuant to Section
      7.02, or impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any
      payment on or after the Stated Maturity thereof (or, in the case of
      redemption, on or after the Redemption Date), or change any obligation of
      the Company to pay additional interest pursuant to Section 6.02 (except as
      contemplated by Section 6.05(b) and permitted by Section 14.01(e)), or
      limit the obligation of the Company to maintain a paying agency outside
      the United States for payment on Bearer Securities as provided in Section
      6.03, or limit the obligation of the Company to redeem an Affected
      Security as provided in Section 4.02(b); or

            (ii) reduce the percentage in principal amount of the Outstanding
      Securities of any series, the consent of whose holders is required for any
      supplemental indenture, or the consent of whose holders is required for
      any waiver of compliance with certain provisions of this Indenture or
      certain Defaults hereunder and their consequences provided for in this
      Indenture; or

            (iii) modify any of the provisions of this Section, Section 7.06 or
      Section 6.08, 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

                                       70
<PAGE>
      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 6.08, or the deletion of this proviso, in accordance with the
      requirements of Sections 11.06 and 14.01(f); or

            (iv) modify, without the written consent of the Trustee, the rights,
      duties or immunities of the Trustee.

            (b) A supplemental indenture that changes or eliminates any
provision of this Indenture which has expressly been included solely for the
benefit of one or more particular series of Securities and Coupons, if any, or
which modifies the rights of the holders of Securities and Coupons, if any, 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 and
Coupons, if any, of any other series.

            (c) It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Securityholders
under this Section 4.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed
supplemental indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve
the substance thereof.

            (d) The Company may set a record date for purposes of determining
the identity of the holders of each series of Securities entitled to give a
written consent or waive compliance by the Company or the Guarantor as
authorized or permitted by this Section. Such record date shall not be more than
30 days prior to the first solicitation of such consent or waiver or the date of
the most recent list of holders furnished to the Trustee prior to such
solicitation pursuant to Section 312 of the Trust Indenture Act.

            (e) Promptly after the execution by the Company, the Guarantor and
the Trustee of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this
Section 4.02, the Company shall mail a notice, setting forth in general terms
the substance of such supplemental indenture, to the holders of Securities at
their addresses as the same shall then appear in the Register of the Company.
Any failure of the Company to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall
not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental
indenture.

            SECTION 14.03. Trustee Protected. Upon the request of the Company or
the Guarantor, accompanied by the Officers' Certificate and Opinion of Counsel
required by Section 16.02 and by:

            (a) a supplemental indenture duly executed on behalf of the Company
and the Guarantor;

            (b) a copy of a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company,
certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company and a copy
of an Officer's Certificate of the Company, authorizing the execution of said
supplemental indenture;

            (c) a copy of a resolution of the Board of Directors of the
Guarantor, certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Guarantor
and a copy of an Officer's Certificate of the Guarantor, authorizing the
execution of said supplemental indenture;

                                       71
<PAGE>
            (d) an Opinion of Counsel, stating that said supplemental indenture
complies with, and that the execution thereof is authorized or permitted by, the
provisions of this Indenture; and

            (e) if said supplemental indenture shall be executed pursuant to
Section 4.02, evidence (as provided in Article Eight) of the consent thereto of
the Securityholders required to consent thereto as in Section 4.02 provided,

the Trustee shall join with the Company and the Guarantor in the execution of
said supplemental indenture unless said supplemental indenture affects the
Trustee's own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in
which case the Trustee may in its discretion, but shall not be obligated to,
enter into said supplemental indenture.

            SECTION 14.04. Effect of Execution of Supplemental Indenture. Upon
the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this
Article Fourteen, this Indenture shall be deemed to be modified and amended in
accordance therewith and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, the
respective rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities
under this Indenture of the Trustee, the Company, the Guarantor and the holders
of all of the Securities or of the Securities of any series affected, as the
case may be, shall thereafter be determined, exercised and enforced hereunder
subject in all respects to such modifications and amendments, and all the terms
and conditions of any such supplemental indenture shall be and be deemed to be
part of the terms and conditions of this Indenture for any and all purposes.

            SECTION 14.05. Notation on or Exchange of Securities. Securities and
Coupons, if any, of any series authenticated and delivered after the execution
of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Article may
bear a notation in form approved by the Trustee as to any matter provided for in
such supplemental indenture. If the Company or the Trustee shall so determine,
new Securities and Coupons, if any, so modified as to conform, in the opinion of
the Trustee and the Board of Directors of the Company, to any modification of
this Indenture contained in any such supplemental indenture may be prepared and
executed by the Company and authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in
exchange for the Securities and Coupons, if any, then Outstanding in equal
aggregate principal amounts, and such exchange shall be made without cost to the
holders of the Securities.

            SECTION 14.06. Conformity with TIA. Every supplemental indenture
executed pursuant to the provisions of this Article shall conform to the
requirements of the Trust Indenture Act as then in effect.

                                   ARTICLE XV

                                    GUARANTEE

            SECTION 15.01. Unconditional Guarantee.

            (a) The Guarantor does hereby fully and unconditionally guarantee
(the "Guarantee") to the holders all payments on the Securities when due, in
accordance with the provisions of this Indenture, as provided below.

                                       72
<PAGE>

            (b) The Guarantor hereby waives notice of acceptance of the
Guarantee and of Default of performance by the Company, and hereby agrees that
payment under the Guarantee shall be subject to no condition other than the
giving of a written request for payment, stating the fact of Default of
performance, in the manner provided in Section 16.07. This Guarantee is a
guarantee of payment and not of collection.

            (c) The obligations of the Guarantor under the Guarantee shall in no
way be impaired by: (1) any extension, amendment, modification or renewal of the
Securities; (2) any waiver of any Event of Default, extension of time or failure
to enforce any of the Securities; or (3) any extension, moratorium or other
relief granted to the Company pursuant to any applicable law or statute.

            (d) The Guarantor shall be obligated to make payment under the
Guarantee, for the benefit of the holders, at the same address as the Company is
obligated to make payment.

            (e) Subject to clause (f) below, the Guarantor hereby agrees that:

            (i) the Securities will be paid strictly in accordance with the
      terms of this Indenture, regardless of the value, genuineness, validity,
      regularity or enforceability of the Securities, and of any law, regulation
      or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of
      such terms or the rights of the trustee with respect thereto; and

            (ii) the liability of the Guarantor to the extent herein set forth
      shall be absolute and unconditional, not subject to any reduction,
      limitation, impairment, termination, defense, offset, counterclaim or
      recoupment whatsoever (all of which are hereby expressly waived by the
      Guarantor) whether by reason of any claim of any character whatsoever,
      including, without limitation, any claim of waiver, release, surrender,
      alteration or compromise, or by reason of any liability at any time to the
      Guarantor or otherwise, whether based upon any obligations or any other
      agreement or otherwise, and howsoever arising, whether out of action or
      inaction or otherwise and whether resulting from Default, willful
      misconduct, negligence or otherwise, and without limiting the foregoing,
      irrespective of:

            (A)any lack of validity or enforceability of any agreement or
      instrument relating to the Securities;

            (B)any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any
      other term in respect of, all or any of the Securities, or any other
      amendment or waiver of or consent to any departure from any other
      agreement relating to any Securities; any change in the time, manner or
      place of payment of, or in any other term in respect of, all or any of the
      Securities, or any other amendment or waiver of or consent to any
      departure from any other agreement relating to any Securities;

            (C)any increase in, addition to, exchange or release of, or
      nonperfection of any lien on or security interest in, any collateral, or
      any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to any departure from or
      failure to enforce any other guarantee, for all or any of the
      indebtedness;

                                       73
<PAGE>
            (D)any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense
      available to, or a discharge of, the Company in respect of the Securities;

            (E)the absence of any action on the part of the Trustee to obtain
      payment of the Securities from the Company;

            (F)any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or dissolution, or any
      similar proceeding of the Company, including, without limitation,
      rejection of the Securities in such bankruptcy; or

            (G)the absence of notice or any delay in any action to enforce any
      Securities or to exercise any right or remedy against the Guarantor or the
      Company, whether hereunder, under any Securities or any agreement or any
      indulgence, compromise or extension granted.

            (f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Guarantee, the
Guarantor does not waive any defense that would be available to the Company
based on a breach, default or misrepresentation by the Trustee, or failure of
any condition to the Company's obligations under this Indenture or the
illegality of any provision of this Indenture.

            (g) The Guarantor further agrees that, to the extent that the
Company or the Guarantor makes a payment or payments to the Trustee, which
payment or payments or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared
to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to the
Company or the Guarantor or their respective estate, trustee, receiver or any
other party under any federal bankruptcy laws, state or federal law, common law
or equitable cause, then to the extent of such payment or repayment, this
Guarantee and the advances or part thereof which have been paid, reduced or
satisfied by such amount shall be reinstated and continued in full force and
effect as of the date such initial payment, reduction or satisfaction occurred.

            SECTION 15.02. Execution and Delivery of Guarantee.

            (a) If an officer whose signature is on this Indenture or the
Guarantee no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the
Security on which the Guarantee is endorsed or at any time thereafter, the
Guarantee shall be valid nevertheless.

            (b) The delivery of any Security by the Trustee, after the
authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of the Guarantee
set forth in this Indenture on behalf of the Guarantor.

            SECTION 15.03. Waiver of Subrogation. The Guarantor shall be
subrogated to all rights of the holders of Securities and the Trustee against
the Company in respect of any amounts paid to such holders by the Guarantor
pursuant to the provisions of the Guarantee; provided, however, that the
Guarantor shall not be entitled to enforce, or to receive any payments arising
out of or based upon such right of subrogation until the principal of, interest
on and additional interest, if any, payable in respect of all Securities of the
same series issued under such Indenture shall have been paid in full.

                                       74
<PAGE>
            SECTION 15.04. Limitation on Liens.

            (a) The Guarantor will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to,
incur, issue, assume or guarantee any Indebtedness if such Indebtedness is
secured by a pledge of, lien on, or security interest in any shares of Voting
Stock of any Significant Subsidiary, whether such Voting Stock is now owned or
shall hereafter be acquired, without effectively providing that the Securities
(together with, if the Guarantor shall so determine, any other indebtedness or
obligations of the Guarantor or any Subsidiary ranking equally with such
Securities and then existing or thereafter created) shall be secured equally and
ratably with such Indebtedness. For the purposes of the foregoing, pledging,
placing a lien on or creating a security interest in any shares of Voting Stock
of a Significant Subsidiary in order to secure then Outstanding Indebtedness of
the Guarantor or any Subsidiary shall be deemed to be the incurrence, issuance,
assumption or guarantee (as the case may be) of such Indebtedness, but the
foregoing shall not apply to Indebtedness secured by a pledge of, lien on or
security interest in any shares of Voting Stock of any corporation at the time
it becomes a Significant Subsidiary, including extensions, renewals and
replacements of such Indebtedness without increase in the amount thereof.

            (b) For the purposes of subsection (a) of this Section 15.04, the
term "Voting Stock" shall mean capital stock the holders of which have general
voting power under ordinary circumstances to elect a majority of the board of
directors of a corporation provided that, for the purposes hereof, capital stock
which carries only the right to vote conditioned on the happening of an event
shall not be considered voting stock whether or not such event shall have
happened.

            (c) For the purposes of subsection (a) of this Section 15.04, the
term "Significant Subsidiary" shall mean a Subsidiary, including its
Subsidiaries, which meets any of the following conditions:

            (i) The Guarantor's and its Subsidiaries' investments in and
      advances to the Subsidiary exceed 10 percent of the total assets of the
      Guarantor and its Subsidiaries consolidated as of the end of the most
      recently completed fiscal year;

            (ii) The Guarantor's and its Subsidiaries' proportionate share of
      the total assets (after inter-company eliminations) of the Subsidiary
      exceeds 10 percent of the total assets of the Guarantor and its
      Subsidiaries consolidated as of the end of the most recently completed
      fiscal year; or

            (iii) The Guarantor's and its Subsidiaries' equity in the income
      from continuing operations before income taxes, extraordinary items and
      cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle of the Subsidiary
      exceeds 10 percent of such income of the Guarantor and its Subsidiaries
      consolidated for the most recently completed fiscal year.

            (d) For the purposes of making the prescribed income test in clause
(iii) of subsection (c) of this Section 15.04, the following shall be
applicable:

            (i) When a loss has been incurred by either the Guarantor and its
      Subsidiaries consolidated or the tested Subsidiary, but not both, the

                                       75
<PAGE>
      tested Subsidiary shall be excluded from the income of the Guarantor and
      its Subsidiaries consolidated for purposes of the computation; and

            (ii) If income of the Guarantor and its Subsidiaries consolidated
      for the most recent fiscal year is at least 10 percent lower than the
      average of the income for the last five fiscal years, such average income
      shall be substituted for purposes of the computation. Any loss years shall
      be omitted for purposes of computing average income.

            SECTION 15.05. Merger, Consolidation and Sale of Assets.

            (a) The Guarantor will not consolidate with any other entity or
accept a merger of any other entity into the Guarantor or permit the Guarantor
to be merged into any other entity, or sell other than for cash or lease all or
substantially all its assets to another entity, or purchase all or substantially
all the assets of another entity, unless (i) either the Guarantor shall be the
continuing entity, or the successor, transferee or lessee entity (if other than
the Guarantor) shall expressly assume, by indenture supplemental hereto
satisfactory to the Trustee, executed and delivered by such entity prior to or
simultaneously with such consolidation, merger, sale or lease, the full,
irrevocable and unconditional guarantee of the payment of principal of and
interest and premium, if any, on all the Securities (and Coupons, if any) when
due, and the performance and observance of all other obligations of the Company
to the holders and the Trustee under this Indenture or under the Securities (and
Coupons, if any), all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and (ii)
immediately after such consolidation, merger, sale, lease or purchase the
Guarantor or the successor, transferee or lessee entity (if other than the
Guarantor) would not be in Default in the performance of any covenant or
condition of this Indenture. A purchase by a Subsidiary of all or substantially
all of the assets of another entity shall not be deemed to be a purchase of such
assets by the Guarantor.

            (b) Upon any consolidation with or merger into any other entity, or
any sale, conveyance or lease of all or substantially all of the assets of the
Guarantor in accordance with this Section 15.05, the successor entity formed by
such consolidation or into or with which the Guarantor is merged or to which
such conveyance, transfer or lease is made shall succeed to, and be substituted
for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Guarantor under this
Indenture with the same effect as if such successor entity had been named as the
Guarantor herein, and thereafter, except in the case of a lease, the predecessor
Guarantor shall be relieved of all obligations and covenants under the
Guarantee.

            SECTION 15.06. Assumption by Guarantor.

            (a) The Guarantor may, without the consent of the holders, assume
all of the rights and obligations of the Company hereunder with respect to a
series of Securities and under the Securities of such series if, after giving
effect to such assumption, no Event of Default or event which with the giving of
notice or lapse of time, or both, would become an Event of Default, shall have
occurred and shall be continuing. Upon such an assumption, the Guarantor shall
execute a supplemental indenture evidencing its assumption of all such rights
and obligations of the Company and the Company shall be released from its
liabilities hereunder and under such Securities as obligor on the Securities of
such series.

                                       76
<PAGE>

            (b) The Guarantor shall assume all of the rights and obligations of
the Company hereunder with respect to a series of Securities and under the
Securities of such series, if, upon a Default by the Company in the due and
punctual payment of the principal, sinking fund payment, if any, premium, if
any, or interest on such Securities, the Guarantor is prevented by any court
order or judicial proceeding from fulfilling its obligations under Section 15.01
with respect to such series of Securities. Such assumption shall result in the
Securities of such series becoming the direct obligations of the Guarantor and
shall be effected without the consent of the holders of the Securities of any
series. Upon such an assumption, the Guarantor shall execute a supplemental
indenture evidencing its assumption of all such rights and obligations of the
Company, and the Company shall be released from its liabilities hereunder and
under such Securities as obligor on the Securities of such series.

            SECTION 15.07. Article Fifteen Applicable to Paying Agent. At any
time that a Paying Agent other than the Trustee shall have been appointed by the
Company and be then acting hereunder, the term "Trustee" as used in this Article
Fifteen shall in such case (unless the context otherwise requires) be construed
as extending to and including such Paying Agent within its meaning as fully for
all intents and purposes as if such Paying Agent were named in this Article
Fifteen in addition to or in place of the Trustee.

            SECTION 15.08. No Suspension of Remedies. Nothing contained in this
Article Fifteen shall limit the right of the Trustee or the holders of
Securities to take any action to accelerate the maturity of the Securities
pursuant to Article Seven or to pursue any rights or remedies hereunder or under
applicable law.

                                   ARTICLE XVI

                            MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

            SECTION 16.01. Consolidation, Merger, Sale or Lease.

            (a) Subject to the provisions of Sections 6.05 and 15.05, nothing
contained in this Indenture or in the Securities shall be deemed to prevent the
consolidation or merger of the Company or the Guarantor with or into any entity,
or the merger into the Company or the Guarantor of any entity, or the sale or
lease by the Company or the Guarantor of their respective property and assets
as, or substantially as, an entirety, or otherwise.

            (b) Upon any consolidation or merger, or any sale other than for
cash or lease of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or the
Guarantor in accordance with the provisions of Sections 6.05 and 15.05, as
applicable, the entity formed by such consolidation or into which the Company or
the Guarantor shall have been merged or to which such sale or lease shall have
been made shall succeed to and be substituted for the Company or the Guarantor,
as applicable, with the same effect as if it had been named herein as a party
hereto, and thereafter from time to time such entity may exercise each and every
right and power of the Company or the Guarantor, as applicable, under this
Indenture, in the name of the Company or the Guarantor, or in its own name; and
any act or proceeding by any provision of this Indenture required or permitted
to be done by the Board of Directors or any officer of the Company or the
Guarantor may be done with like force and effect by the like board or officer of
any entity that shall at the time be the successor of the Company or the
Guarantor hereunder. In the event of any such sale

                                       77
<PAGE>
or conveyance, but not any such lease, the Company or the Guarantor (or any
successor entity which shall theretofore have become such in the manner
described in Sections 6.05 and 15.05, as applicable) shall be discharged from
all obligations and covenants under this Indenture and the Securities and may
thereupon be dissolved and liquidated.

            SECTION 16.02. Certificates and Opinions as to Conditions Precedent.

            (a) Upon any request or application by the Company to the Trustee to
take any action under any of the provisions of this Indenture, the Company or
the Guarantor shall furnish to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate stating that
all conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Indenture relating to the
proposed action have been complied with and an Opinion of Counsel stating that
in the opinion of such counsel all such conditions precedent have been complied
with, except that in the case of any such application or demand as to which the
furnishing of such document is specifically required by any provision of this
Indenture relating to such particular application or demand, no additional
certificate or opinion need be furnished.

            (b) Each certificate or opinion provided for in this Indenture and
delivered to the Trustee with respect to compliance with a condition or covenant
provided for in this Indenture (other than the certificates provided pursuant to
Section 6.06 of this Indenture) shall include (i) a statement that the Person
making giving such certificate or opinion has read such covenant or condition;
(ii) a brief statement as to the nature and scope of the examination or
investigation upon which the statements or opinions contained in such
certificate or opinion are based; (iii) a statement that, in the view or opinion
of such Person, he or she has made such examination or investigation as is
necessary to enable such Person to express an informed view or opinion as to
whether or not such covenant or condition has been complied with; and (iv) a
statement as to whether or not, in the view or opinion of such Person, such
condition or covenant has been complied with.

            (c) Any certificate, statement or opinion of an officer of the
Company or the Guarantor may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters,
upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, counsel, unless such
officer knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the
certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which
his or certificate, statement or opinion is based are erroneous. Any
certificate, statement or opinion of counsel may be based, insofar as it relates
to factual matters, upon a certificate, statement or opinion of, or
representations by, an officer or officers of the Company or the Guarantor
stating that the information with respect to such factual matters is in the
possession of the Company or the Guarantor, unless such counsel knows, or in the
exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate, statement or
opinion or representations with respect to such matters are erroneous.

            (d) Any certificate, statement or opinion of an officer of the
Company, the Guarantor or of counsel to the Company or the Guarantor may be
based, insofar as it relates to accounting matters, upon a certificate or
opinion of, or representations by, an accountant or firm of accountants, unless
such officer or counsel, as the case may be, knows, or in the exercise of
reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations
with respect to the accounting matters upon which his or her certificate,
statement or opinion may be based are erroneous. Any certificate or opinion of
any firm of independent registered public accountants filed with the Trustee
shall contain a statement that such firm is independent.

                                       78
<PAGE>
            (e) In any case where several matters are required to be certified
by, or covered by an opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that
all such matters be certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such
Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but one
such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one
or more other such Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify
or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents.

            (f) Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or
more applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or
other instruments under this Indenture, they may, but need not, be consolidated
and form one instrument.

            SECTION 16.03. Trust Indenture Act Controls. If and to the extent
that any provision of this Indenture limits, qualifies or conflicts with the
duties imposed by, or another provision included in this Indenture which is
required to be included in this Indenture by any of the provisions of Sections
310 to 318, inclusive, of the Trust Indenture Act, such imposed duties or
incorporated provision shall control.

            SECTION 16.04. What Constitutes Action by Board of Directors.
Whenever action is required by this Indenture by the Board of Directors of the
Company or the Guarantor and there is at the time constituted a committee of the
Board of Directors duly authorized to take such action, or a committee of
officers or other representatives of the Company or the Guarantor so authorized
by the Board of Directors, such action by such a committee shall be deemed to be
the action of the Board of Directors and shall be sufficient for all purposes of
this Indenture where action by the Board of Directors is specified.

            SECTION 16.05. Notices to the Company, Guarantor and Trustee. Any
notice or demand authorized by this Indenture to be made upon, given or
furnished to, or filed with, the Company, the Guarantor or the Trustee shall be
sufficiently made, given, furnished or filed for all purposes if it shall be
mailed, delivered or telefaxed to:

            (a) the Company, at [     1     ] to the attention of [        ],
fax: [      ] or at such other address or facsimile number as may have been
furnished in writing to the Trustee by the Company.

            (b) the Guarantor, at [Citicorp Treasury Department, 153 East 53rd
Street, 6th Floor, New York, New York 10043, Fax: (212) 793-[    ]], with a copy
to Citigroup Corporate Law Department, 425 Park Avenue, 2nd Floor - Zone 3C, New
York, New York 10022, Attention: General Counsel - Capital Markets, Fax: (212)
793-7600.

            (c) the Trustee, at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee.

Any such notice, demand or other document shall be in the English language.

            SECTION 16.06. Notices to Holders; Waiver. Any notice required or
permitted to be given to Securityholders shall be sufficiently given (unless
otherwise herein expressly provided),

                                       79
<PAGE>
            (a) if to Registered Holders, if given in writing by first class
mail, postage prepaid, to such holders at their addresses as the same shall
appear on the Register of the Company, and

            (b) if to holders of Bearer Securities, if published on two separate
Business Days in an Authorized Newspaper or Newspapers in such Place or Places
of Payment specified pursuant to Section 3.01, the first such publication to be
not earlier than the earliest date and not later than two Business Days prior to
the latest date prescribed for the giving of such notice;

provided, however, that, in any case, any notice to holders of Floating Rate
Securities regarding the determination of a periodic rate of interest, if such
notice is required pursuant to Section 3.01, shall be sufficiently given if
given in the manner specified pursuant to Section 3.01.

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

            (d) In the event of suspension of publication of any Authorized
Newspapers or by reason of any other cause it shall be impractical to give
notice by publication, then such notification as shall be given with the
approval of the Trustee shall constitute sufficient notice for every purpose
hereunder.

            (e) 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 on such waiver. 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, and any notice that is mailed in the manner herein
provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given. In any case
where notice to holders is given by publication, any defect in any notice so
published as to any particular holder shall not affect the sufficiency of such
notice with respect to other holders, and any notice that is published in the
manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given.

            SECTION 16.07. Legal Holiday. Unless otherwise specified pursuant to
Section 3.01, in any case where any Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or
Maturity of any Security of any series shall not be a Business Day at any Place
of Payment for the Securities of that series, then payment of principal and
premium, if any, or interest 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 such Interest Payment Date,
Redemption Date or Maturity and no interest shall accrue on such payment for the
period from and after such Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Maturity,
as the case may be, to such Business Day if such payment is made or duly
provided for on such Business Day.

            SECTION 16.08. Effects of Headings and Table of Contents. The
Article and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for

in this Indenture by the parties hereto shall bind their respective successors
and assigns and inure to the benefit of their permitted successors and assigns,
whether so expressed or not.

            SECTION 16.10. Separability Clause. In case any provision in this
Indenture or in the Securities or Coupons 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 16.11. Benefits of Indenture. Nothing in this Indenture
expressed and nothing that may be implied from any of the provisions hereof is
intended, or shall be construed, to confer upon, or to give to, any Person or
corporation other than the parties hereto and their successors and the holders
of the Securities any benefit or any right, remedy or claim under or by reason
of this Indenture or any covenant, condition, stipulation, promise or agreement
hereof, and all covenants, conditions, stipulations, promises and agreements in
this Indenture contained shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the
parties hereto and their successors and of the holders of the Securities.

            SECTION 16.12. Counterparts Originals. This Indenture may be
executed in any number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall be
deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute
but one and the same instrument.

            SECTION 16.13. Governing Law. This Indenture, the Securities and the
Coupons shall be deemed to be contracts made under the law of the State of New
York, and for all purposes shall be governed by and construed in accordance with

Section 302. Denominations. In the absence of any specification pursuant to
Section 301 with respect to Securities of any series, the Securities of such
series shall be issuable only as Registered Securities in denominations of any
integral multiple of $1,000, and shall be payable only in U.S. Dollars.

Section 303. Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating.

      (a)   The Securities and the Coupons, if any, shall be executed in the
name and on behalf of the Company by the manual or facsimile signature of its
Chairman of the Board of Directors, a Vice Chairman, its President or one of its
Vice Presidents, under its corporate seal (which may be printed, engraved or
otherwise reproduced thereon, by facsimile or otherwise), which shall be
attested by the manual or facsimile signature of its Secretary or one of its
Assistant Secretaries. If the Person whose signature is on a Security or Coupon,
if any, no longer holds that office at the time the Security or Coupon, if any,
is authenticated and delivered, the Security and Coupon, if any, shall
nevertheless be valid.

      (b)   At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery
of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities, with appropriate Coupons,
if any, 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 Coupons. The Trustee shall thereupon
authenticate and deliver such Securities and Coupons without any further action
by the Company. A Company Order shall specify the amount of the Securities (and
Coupons) to be authenticated and the date on which the original issue of
Securities (and Coupons) is to be authenticated.

      (c)   In authenticating the first Securities and Coupons, if any, of any
series and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in
relation to such Securities and Coupons, if any, the Trustee shall receive, and
(subject to Section 1102) shall be fully protected in relying upon:

            (i)   the supplemental indenture or Board Resolution relating
      thereto and, if applicable, an appropriate record of any action taken
      pursuant to such supplemental indenture or resolution, certified by the
      Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company;

            (ii)  an Officer's Certificate as to the absence of any event that
      is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of
      Default; and

            (iii) an Opinion of Counsel prepared in accordance with Section
      1702, which shall state:

                                       18
<PAGE>

                  (A) that the form and terms of such Securities have been
            established by or pursuant to one or more Board Resolutions, by a
            supplemental indenture as permitted by Section 1401(m), or by both
            such resolution or resolutions and such supplemental indenture, in
            conformity with the provisions of this Indenture;

                  (B) that the supplemental indenture, if any, when executed and
            delivered by the Company, the Guarantor and the Trustee, will
            constitute a valid and legally binding obligation of each of the
            Company and the Guarantor;

                  (C) 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, and will be entitled to the benefits of
            this Indenture;

                  (D) that the Company has the corporate power to issue the
            Securities, and has duly taken all necessary action with respect to
            such issuance;

                  (E) that the Guarantor has the corporate power to guarantee
            the Securities, and has duly taken all necessary action with respect
            to such guarantee;

                  (F) that the issuance of the Securities will not contravene
            the certificate of incorporation or By-laws of the Company or the
            Guarantor or result in any violation of any of the terms or
            provisions of any law or regulation or of any indenture, mortgage or
            other agreement by which the Company or the Guarantor is bound and,
            with respect to the Guarantor, under which long-term debt of the
            Guarantor as reflected in its latest financial statements on file
            with the SEC is outstanding;

                  (G) that all requirements of the Indenture applicable to the
            Company in respect of the execution and delivery by the Company of
            the Securities and applicable to the Guarantor in respect of the
            Guarantee and of such supplemental indenture, if any, have been
            complied with and, that assuming (a) all requisite corporate
            authorization on the part of the Trustee, (b) continued compliance
            by the Trustee with the terms of the Indenture specifically
            applicable to the Trustee, and (c) due authentication and delivery
            of the Securities by the Trustee, the execution and delivery of such
            supplemental indenture, if any, will not violate the terms of this
            Indenture, and that, other than compliance with federal and state
            securities laws, no authorization, approval or consent by any
            regulatory or statutory or other public authority is required in
            connection with the execution and delivery of such supplemental
            indenture or for the creation, issuance, authentication and delivery
            of the Securities pursuant to the Indenture;

                  (H) all conditions precedent provided for in the Indenture
            (including any covenants compliance with which constitutes a
            condition precedent) to the Trustee's authentication and delivery of
            the Securities have been complied with; and

                                       19
<PAGE>

                  (I) the amount of Securities Outstanding of such series,
            together with the amount of such Securities, does not exceed any
            limit established under the terms of this Indenture on the amount of
            Securities of such series that may be authenticated and delivered.

      (d)   The Trustee shall have the right to decline to authenticate and
deliver the Securities under this Section if the issue of the 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.

      (e)   Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication, except
as otherwise provided pursuant to Section 301 with respect to the Securities of
such series.

      (f)   Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 301 and of this Section
303, if all of the Securities of a series are not to be originally issued at the
same time, then the documents required to be delivered pursuant to this Section
303 must be delivered only once, prior to the authentication and delivery of the
first Security of such series; provided, however, that any subsequent request by
the Company to the Trustee to authenticate Securities of such series upon
original issuance shall constitute a representation and warranty by the Company
and the Guarantor that, as of the date of such request, the statements made in
the Officers' Certificate delivered pursuant to this Section 303 shall be true
and correct as if made on such date.

      (g)   If the Company shall establish pursuant to Section 301 that the
Securities of a series are to be issued in whole or in part in the form of one
or more Global Securities, then the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver one or more Global Securities that (i) shall represent
an aggregate amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities of such series to be represented by one or more Global Securities,
(ii) shall be registered, if in registered form, in the name of the Depositary
for such Global Security or Securities or the nominee of such Depositary, (iii)
shall be delivered by the Trustee to such Depositary or pursuant to such
Depositary's instruction and (iv) shall bear a legend substantially to the
following effect: "Unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for the
individual Securities represented hereby, this Global Security may not be
transferred except as a whole by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary
or by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the
Depositary or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or
a nominee of such successor Depositary." The aggregate principal amount of each
Global Security may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments
made on the records of the Security Custodian, as provided in this Indenture.

      (h)   Each Depositary designated pursuant to Section 301 for a Global
Security in registered form must, at the time of its designation and at all
times while it serves as such Depositary, be a clearing agency registered under
the Exchange Act and any other applicable statute or regulation.

      (i)   Members of, or participants in, the Depositary ("Members") shall
have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Security held on
their behalf by the Depositary or by the Security Custodian under such Global
Security, and the Depositary may be treated by the Company, the Trustee, the
Paying Agent and the Registrar and any of their agents as the absolute

                                       20
<PAGE>

owner of such Global Security for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee, the Paying
Agent or the Registrar or any of their agents from giving effect to any written
certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or
impair, as between the Depositary and its Members, the operation of customary
practices of the Depositary governing the exercise of the rights of an owner of
a beneficial interest in any Global Security. The registered holder of a Global
Security may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including Members
and Persons that may hold interests through Members, to take any action that a
holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Securities.

      (j)   No Security or Coupon appertaining thereto 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
one of the forms provided for herein duly executed by the Trustee or by an
Authenticating Agent by manual signature of one of its Responsible Officers, and
such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only
evidence, that such Security (and any Coupons appertaining thereto) has been
duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and is entitled to the benefits of
this Indenture. Except as permitted by Section 305, 307 or 308, the Trustee
shall not authenticate and deliver any Bearer Security unless all appurtenant
Coupons then matured have been cleared and canceled.

Section 304. Temporary Securities.

      (a)   Pending the preparation of definitive Securities of any series, the
Company may execute, and upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver, temporary Securities that are printed, lithographed, typewritten,
mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination,
substantially of the tenor of the definitive Securities in lieu of which they
are issued, in registered form or, if authorized, in bearer form with one or
more Coupons or without Coupons, and with such appropriate insertions,
omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers executing such
Securities and Coupons, if any, may determine, as conclusively evidenced by
their execution of such Securities and Coupons. Any such temporary Security may
be in global form, representing all or a portion of the Outstanding Securities
of such series. Every such temporary Security shall be executed by the Company
and shall be authenticated and delivered by the Trustee upon the same conditions
and in substantially the same manner, and with the same effect, as the
definitive Security or Securities in lieu of which it is issued.

      (b)   If temporary Securities of any series are issued, the Company will
cause definitive Securities of such series to be prepared without unreasonable
delay. Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301(q)(iii) with
respect to a series of Securities issuable as Bearer Securities or as one or
more Global Securities representing individual Bearer Securities of the series,
(a) 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 such series, without
charge to the holder, except as provided in Section 306 in connection with a
transfer and except that a Person receiving definitive Bearer Securities shall
bear the cost of insurance, postage, transportation and the like unless
otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301, and (b) upon surrender for
cancellation of any one or more temporary

                                       21
<PAGE>

Securities of any series (accompanied by any unmatured Coupons appertaining
thereto), the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of definitive Securities of
the same series of authorized denominations and of like tenor; provided,
however, that no definitive Bearer Security shall be delivered in exchange for a
temporary Registered Security; and provided, further, that delivery of a Global
Security representing individual Bearer Securities or a Bearer Security shall
occur only outside the United States. Until so exchanged, temporary Securities
of any series shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this
Indenture as definitive Securities of such series, except as otherwise specified
as contemplated by Section 301(q)(ii) with respect to the payment of interest on
Global Securities in temporary form.

      (c)   Unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301, the Company will
execute and deliver each definitive Global Security representing individual
Bearer Securities and each Bearer Security to the Trustee at its principal
office in London or such other place outside the United States specified
pursuant to Section 301.

      (d)   Upon any exchange of a portion of a temporary Global Security for a
definitive Global Security or for the individual Securities represented thereby
pursuant to this Section 304 or Section 306, the temporary Global Security shall
be endorsed by the Trustee to reflect the reduction of the principal amount
evidenced thereby, whereupon the principal amount of such temporary Global
Security shall be reduced for all purposes by the amount so exchanged and
endorsed.

Section 305. Registrar and Paying Agent.

      (a)   The Company will maintain an office or agency in the Borough of
Manhattan, the City of New York, or in any other office or agency of the Company
in a Place of Payment, where Registered Securities may be presented for
registration or presented and surrendered for registration of transfer or of
exchange (the "Registrar"), where Registered Securities may be presented for
payment (the "Paying Agent") and for the service of notices and demands to or
upon the Company in respect of the Registered Securities and of their transfer
or exchange. The Registrar shall keep a security register for the registration
of and the registration of transfer or of exchange of the Registered Securities
(the registers 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 "Register"), as in this Indenture provided, which Register shall at
all reasonable times be open for inspection by the Trustee. Such Register shall
be in written form or in any other form capable of being converted into written
form within a reasonable time. The Company may have one or more co-Registrars
and one or more additional paying agents. The term "Registrar" includes any
co-registrar and the term "Paying Agent" includes any additional paying agent.

      (b)   The Company shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with
any Registrar, Paying Agent or co-Registrar not a party to this Indenture. The
agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such
agent. The Company shall notify the Trustee of the name and address of each such
agent. If the Company fails to maintain a Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee
shall act as such and shall be entitled to appropriate

                                       22
<PAGE>

compensation therefor pursuant to Section 1101. The Company or the Guarantor may
act as Paying Agent, Registrar, co-Registrar or transfer agent.

      (c)   The Company hereby appoints the Trustee at its Corporate Trust
Office as Registrar, Paying Agent and agent for service of demands and notices
in connection with the Securities and this Indenture, until such time as another
Person is appointed as such.

Section 306. Transfer and Exchange .

      (a)   Transfer.

            (i)   Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Registered
      Security of any series at the Registrar the Company shall execute, and the
      Trustee or any Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver, in the
      name of the designated transferee, one or more new Registered Securities
      of the same series for like aggregate principal amount of any authorized
      denomination or denominations. The transfer of any Security shall not be
      valid as against the Company, the Guarantor or the Trustee unless
      registered at the Registrar by the registered holder, or by his or her
      attorney duly authorized in writing. Except as otherwise specified
      pursuant to Section 301, in no event may Registered Securities, including
      Registered Securities received in exchange for Bearer Securities, be
      exchanged for Bearer Securities.

            (ii)  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, unless
      and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for the individual
      Securities represented thereby, a Global Security representing all or a
      portion of the Securities of a series may not be transferred except as a
      whole by the Depositary for such series to a nominee of such Depositary or
      by a nominee of such Depositary to such Depositary or another nominee of
      such Depositary or by such Depositary or any such nominee to a successor
      Depositary for such series or a nominee of such successor Depositary.

      (b)   Exchange.

            (i)   At the option of the holder, Registered Securities of any
      series (other than a Global Security, except as set forth below) may be
      exchanged for other Registered Securities of the same series for like
      aggregate principal amount of any authorized denomination or
      denominations, upon surrender of the Registered Securities to be exchanged
      at the Registrar.

            (ii)  At the option of the holder, except as otherwise specified as
      contemplated by Section 301(o) or 301(q) with respect to a Global Security
      representing Bearer Securities, Bearer Securities of any series may be
      exchanged for Registered Securities (if the Securities of such series are
      issuable as Registered Securities) or Bearer Securities of the same
      series, for like aggregate principal amount of any authorized denomination
      or denominations, upon surrender of the Bearer Securities to be exchanged
      at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose, with
      all unmatured Coupons and all matured

                                       23
<PAGE>

      Coupons in Default thereto appertaining; provided, however, that delivery
      of a Bearer Security shall occur only outside the United States. If the
      holder of a Bearer Security is unable to produce any such unmatured Coupon
      or Coupons or matured Coupon or Coupons in Default, such exchange may be
      effected if the Bearer Securities are accompanied by payment in funds
      acceptable to the Company and the Trustee in an amount equal to the face
      amount of such missing Coupon or Coupons, or the surrender of such missing
      Coupon or Coupons may be waived by the Company and the Trustee if there be
      furnished to them such security or indemnity as they may require to save
      each of them and any Paying Agent harmless. If thereafter the holder of
      such Bearer Security shall surrender to any Paying Agent any such missing
      Coupon in respect of which such a payment shall have been made, such
      holder shall be entitled to receive the amount of such payment; provided,
      however, that, except as otherwise provided in Section 308, interest
      represented by Coupons shall be payable only upon presentation and
      surrender of those Coupons at an office or agency located outside the
      United States.

            (iii) Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the
      Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the
      Securities that the holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

            (iv)  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the exchange of Bearer
      Securities for Registered Securities will be subject to the provisions of
      United States income tax laws and regulations applicable to Securities in
      effect at the time of such exchange.

      (c)   Exchange of Global Securities for Individual Securities. Except as
provided below, owners of beneficial interests in Global Securities will not be
entitled to receive individual Securities.

            (i)   Individual Securities shall be issued to all owners of
      beneficial interests in a Global Security in exchange for such interests
      if:

                  (A) at any time the Depositary for the Securities of a series
            notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as
            Depositary for the Securities of such series or if at any time the
            Depositary for the Securities of such series shall no longer be
            eligible under Section 303(h) and, in each case, a successor
            Depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days of such
            notice, or

                  (B) the Company executes and delivers to the Trustee and the
            Registrar an Officers' Certificate stating that such Global Security
            shall be so exchangeable.

      In connection with the exchange of an entire Global Security for
individual Securities pursuant to this subsection (c), such Global Security
shall be deemed to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation, and the
Company shall execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order for the
authentication and delivery of individual Securities of such series, will
authenticate and deliver to each beneficial owner identified by the Depositary
in exchange for its beneficial interest in such Global Security, an equal
aggregate principal amount of individual Securities of authorized denominations.

            (ii)  The owner of a beneficial interest in a Global Security will
      be entitled to receive an individual Security in exchange for such
      interest if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Upon
      receipt by the Security Custodian and Registrar of instructions from the
      holder of a Global Security directing the Security Custodian and

                                       24
<PAGE>

      Registrar to (x) issue one or more individual Securities in the amounts
      specified to the owner of a beneficial interest in such Global Security
      and (y) debit or cause to be debited an equivalent amount of beneficial
      interest in such Global Security, subject to the rules and regulations of
      the Depositary:

                  (A) the Security Custodian and Registrar shall notify the
            Company and the Trustee of such instructions, identifying the owner
            and amount of such beneficial interest in such Global Security;

                  (B) the Company shall promptly execute and the Trustee, upon
            receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of
            individual Securities of such series, shall authenticate and deliver
            to such beneficial owner individual Securities in an equivalent
            amount to such beneficial interest in such Global Security; and

                  (C) the Security Custodian and Registrar shall decrease such
            Global Security by such amount in accordance with the foregoing.

      In the event that the individual Securities are not issued to each such
beneficial owner promptly after the Registrar has received a request from the
holder of a Global Security to issue such individual Securities, the Company
expressly acknowledges, with respect to the right of any holder to pursue a
remedy pursuant to Section 707 hereof, the right of any beneficial holder of
Securities to pursue such remedy with respect to the portion of the Global
Security that represents such beneficial holder's Securities as if such
individual Securities had been issued.

            (iii) If specified by the Company pursuant to Section 301 with
      respect to a series of Securities, the Depositary for such series of
      Securities may surrender a Global Security for such series of Securities
      in exchange in whole or in part for individual Securities of such series
      on such terms as are acceptable to the Company and such Depositary.
      Thereupon, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate
      and deliver, without service charge,

                  (A) to each Person specified by such Depositary a new
            individual Security or Securities of the same series, of any
            authorized denomination as requested by such Person in aggregate
            principal amount equal to and in exchange for such Person's
            beneficial interest in the Global Security; and

                  (B) to such Depositary a new Global Security in a denomination
            equal to the difference, if any, between the principal amount of the
            surrendered Global Security and the aggregate principal amount of
            individual Securities delivered to holders thereof.

            (iv)  In any exchange provided for in clauses (i) through (iii), the
      Company will execute and the Trustee will authenticate and deliver
      individual Securities (a) in registered form in authorized denominations,
      if the Securities of such series are issuable as Registered Securities,
      (b) in bearer form in authorized denominations, with or without Coupons
      attached, if the Securities of such series are issuable as Bearer
      Securities or (c) as either Registered or Bearer Securities, if the
      Securities of such series are issuable in

                                       25
<PAGE>

      either form; provided, however, that individual Bearer Securities shall be
      delivered in exchange for a Global Security only in accordance with the
      procedures specified pursuant to Section 301.

            (v)   Upon the exchange of a Global Security for individual
      Securities, such Global Security shall be canceled by the Trustee.
      Individual Registered Securities issued in exchange for a Global Security
      pursuant to this Section shall be registered in such names and in such
      authorized denominations as the Depositary for such Global Security,
      pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or
      otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee. The Trustee shall deliver such
      Registered Securities to the Persons in whose names such Registered
      Securities are so registered. The Trustee shall deliver individual Bearer
      Securities issued in exchange for a Global Security pursuant to this
      Section to the Persons and in such authorized denominations as the
      Depositary for such Global Security, pursuant to instructions from its
      direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee;
      provided, however, that individual Bearer Securities shall be delivered in
      exchange for a Global Security only in accordance with the procedures as
      may be specified pursuant to Section 301.

      (d)   Notwithstanding the foregoing, the exchange of Bearer Securities for
Registered Securities will be subject to the provisions of United States income
tax laws and regulations applicable to Securities in effect at the time of such
exchange.

      (e)   All Securities issued upon any transfer or exchange of Securities
shall be valid obligations of the Company (and, as with respect to the
Guarantee, the Guarantor) evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same
benefits under this Indenture, as the Securities surrendered for such
registration of transfer or exchange.

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

      (g)   No service charge will be made for any registration of transfer or
exchange of Securities except as provided in Section 304(b) or 307. The Company
may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, assessment or other
governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration,
transfer or exchange of Securities, other than those expressly provided in this
Indenture to be made at the Company's own expense or without expense or without
charge to the holders.

      (h)   The Company shall not be required to (i) register, transfer or
exchange Securities of any series during a period beginning at the opening of
business 15 days before the day of the transmission of a notice of redemption of
Securities of such series selected for redemption under Section 403 and ending
at the close of business on the day of such transmission, or (ii) register,
transfer or exchange any Security so selected for redemption in whole or in
part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part;
provided, however, that, if specified pursuant to Section 402, any Bearer
Securities of any series that are exchangeable for Registered

                                       26
<PAGE>

Securities and that are called for redemption pursuant to Section 402 may, to
the extent permitted by applicable law, be exchanged for one or more Registered
Securities of such series during the period preceding the Redemption Date.

      (i)   Prior to the due presentation for registration of transfer or
exchange of any Security, the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee, the Paying
Agent, the Registrar or any co-Registrar may deem and treat the Person in whose
name a Security is registered as the absolute owner of such Security (whether or
not such Security shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership
or other writing thereon) for all purposes whatsoever, and none of the Company,
the Guarantor, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Registrar or any co-Registrar
shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

      (j)   In case a successor Company ("Successor Company") has executed an
indenture supplemental hereto with the Trustee pursuant to Article Fourteen, any
of the Securities authenticated or delivered pursuant to such transaction may,
from time to time, at the request of the Successor Company, be exchanged for
other Securities executed in the name of the Successor Company with such changes
in phraseology and form as may be appropriate, but otherwise identical to the
Securities surrendered for such exchange and of like principal amount; and the
Trustee, upon Company Order of the Successor Company, shall authenticate and
deliver Securities as specified in such order for the purpose of such exchange.
If Securities shall at any time be authenticated and delivered in any new name
of a Successor Company pursuant to this Section 306 in exchange or substitution
for or upon registration of transfer of any Securities, such Successor Company,
at the option of the holders but without expense to them, shall provide for the
exchange of all Securities at the time Outstanding for Securities authenticated
and delivered in such new name.

      (k)   Each holder of a Security agrees to indemnify the Company and the
Trustee against any liability that may result from the transfer, exchange or
assignment of such holder's Security in violation of any provision of this
Indenture and/or applicable United States federal or state securities laws.

      (l)   The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine
or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this
Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest
in any Security other than to require delivery of such certificates and other
documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when
expressly required by the terms of, this Indenture, and to examine the same to
determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements
hereof.

      (m)   Neither the Trustee nor any agent of the Trustee shall have any
responsibility for any actions taken or not taken by the Depositary.

Section 307. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities.

      (a)   If (i) any mutilated Security or any mutilated Coupon with the
Coupon Security to which it appertains (and all unmatured Coupons attached
thereto) is surrendered to the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office (in the
case of Registered Securities) or at its principal London office (in the case of
Bearer Securities) or (ii) the Company and the Trustee receive evidence to their

                                       27
<PAGE>

satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security or any Coupon,
and there is delivered to the Company and the Trustee security or indemnity
satisfactory to them to save each of them and any Paying Agent harmless, and
neither the Company nor the Trustee receives notice that such Security or Coupon
has been acquired by a protected purchaser, then the Company shall execute and
upon Company Request the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for
or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security or in
exchange for the Coupon Security to which such mutilated, destroyed, lost or
stolen Coupon appertains, a new Security of the same series of like tenor, form,
terms and principal amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously Outstanding,
and, in the case of a Coupon Security, with such Coupons attached thereto that
neither gain nor loss in interest shall result from such exchange or
substitution.

      (b)   In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security or
Coupon has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its
discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay the amount due on such
Security or Coupon in accordance with its terms; provided, however, that payment
of principal and premium, if any, and any interest on Bearer Securities or
payment of Coupons shall, except as otherwise provided in Section 308, be
payable only at an office or agency located outside the United States.

      (c)   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 respect thereto and any other
expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith.

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

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

Section 308. Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved.

      (a)   Interest on any Registered Security that is payable and is
punctually paid or duly provided for on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid
to the Person in whose name such Registered Security (or one or more Predecessor
Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Record Date for such
interest notwithstanding the cancellation of such Registered Security upon any
transfer or exchange subsequent to the Record Date. In case a Coupon Security of
any series is surrendered in exchange for a Registered Security of such series
after the close of business (at an office or agency in a Place of Payment for
such series) on any Record Date and before the opening of business (at such
office or agency) on the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, such Coupon
Security shall be surrendered without the Coupon relating to such Interest
Payment Date and interest will not be payable on such Interest Payment Date in
respect of the Registered Security issued in exchange for such Coupon Security,
but will be payable only

                                       28
<PAGE>

to the bearer of such Coupon when due in accordance with the provisions of this
Indenture. Payment of interest on Registered Securities shall be made at the
Corporate Trust Office (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301)
or, at the option of the Company, by check mailed to the address of the Person
entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Register or, if provided
pursuant to Section 301 and in accordance with arrangements satisfactory to the
Trustee, at the option of the Registered Holder by wire transfer to an account
designated by the Registered Holder.

      (b)   Interest on any Coupon Security that is payable and is punctually
paid or duly provided for on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the
holder of the Coupon that has matured on such Interest Payment Date upon
surrender of such Coupon on such Interest Payment Date at the principal London
office of the Trustee or at such other Place of Payment outside the United
States specified pursuant to Section 301.

      (c)   Interest on any Bearer Security (other than a Coupon Security) that
is payable and is punctually paid or duly provided for on any Interest Payment
Date shall be paid to the holder of the Bearer Security upon presentation of
such Bearer Security and notation thereon on such Interest Payment Date at the
principal London office of the Trustee or at such other Place of Payment outside
the United States specified pursuant to Section 301.

      (d)   Unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301, at the direction
of the holder of any Bearer Security or Coupon payable in U.S. Dollars, and
subject to applicable laws and regulations, payments in respect of such Bearer
Security or Coupon will be made by check drawn on a bank in the City of New York
or, in accordance with arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee, by wire
transfer to a U.S. Dollars account maintained by such holder with a bank outside
the United States. If such payment at the offices of all Paying Agents outside
the United States becomes illegal or is effectively precluded because of the
imposition of exchange controls or similar restrictions on the full payment or
receipt of such amounts in U.S. Dollars, the Company will appoint an office or
agent in the United States at which such payment may be made. Unless otherwise
specified pursuant to Section 301, at the direction of the holder of any Bearer
Security or Coupon payable in a Foreign Currency, payment on such Bearer
Security or Coupon will be made by a check drawn on a bank outside the United
States or, in accordance with arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee, by wire
transfer to an appropriate account maintained by such holder outside the United
States. Except as provided in this paragraph, no payment on any Bearer Security
or Coupon will be made by mail to an address in the United States or by transfer
to an account maintained by the bearer thereof in the United States.

      (e)   Any interest on any Security that is payable but is not punctually
paid or duly provided for on any Interest Payment Date (herein called "Defaulted
Interest") shall, if such Security is a Registered Security, forthwith cease to
be payable to the Registered Holder on the relevant Record Date by virtue of his
or her having been such a Registered Holder, and such Defaulted Interest may be
paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in clause (i) or
(ii) below:

            (i)   The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted
      Interest to the Persons in whose names such Registered Securities (or
      their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of
      business on a special record date for the payment

                                       29
<PAGE>

      of such Defaulted Interest (a "Special Record Date"), 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 such
      Registered Security 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 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 calendar days and not less than 10
      calendar days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than
      10 calendar days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the
      proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such
      Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company,
      shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and
      the Special Record Date therefor to be mailed, first-class postage
      prepaid, to the holders of such Registered Securities at their addresses
      as they appear in the Register, not less than 10 calendar days prior to
      such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted
      Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been mailed as
      aforesaid, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose
      names such Registered Securities (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 (B).
      In case a Coupon Security of any series is surrendered in exchange for a
      Registered Security of such series after the close of business (at the
      office or agency in a Place of Payment for such series) on any Special
      Record Date and before the opening of business (at such office or agency)
      on the related proposed date of payment of Defaulted Interest, such Coupon
      Security shall be surrendered without the Coupon relating to such proposed
      date of payment and Defaulted Interest will not be payable on such
      proposed date of payment in respect of the Registered Security issued in
      exchange for such Coupon Security, but will be payable only to the holder
      of such Coupon when due in accordance with the provisions of this
      Indenture.

            (ii)  The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on
      Registered Securities in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the
      requirements of any securities exchange on which such Registered
      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.

      (f)   Any Defaulted Interest payable in respect of Bearer Securities of
any series shall be payable pursuant to such procedures as may be satisfactory
to the Trustee in such manner that there is no discrimination between the
holders of Registered Securities (if any) and Bearer Securities of such series,
and notice of the payment date therefor shall be given by the Trustee, in the
name and at the expense of the Company, in the manner provided in Section 1708,
not more than 25 days and not less than 20 days prior to the date of the
proposed payment.

                                       30
<PAGE>

      (g)   Subject to the provisions set forth herein relating to Record Dates,
each Security delivered pursuant to any provision of this Indenture in exchange
or substitution for, or upon registration of transfer of, any other Security
shall carry all the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which
were carried by such other Security.

Section 309. Cancellation. Unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301
for Securities of any series, all Securities surrendered for payment,
redemption, transfer, exchange or credit against any sinking fund or otherwise
and all Coupons surrendered for payment or exchange shall, if surrendered to any
Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee for cancellation and
shall be promptly canceled by it or, if surrendered to the Trustee, shall be
promptly canceled by it. The Company may at any time deliver to the Trustee for
cancellation any Securities or Coupons previously authenticated and delivered
hereunder that the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all
Securities or Coupons so delivered shall be promptly canceled by the Trustee. No
Securities or Coupons shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any
Securities or Coupons canceled as provided in this Section, except as expressly
permitted by this Indenture. The Trustee shall dispose of all canceled
Securities and Coupons held by it in accordance with its then customary
procedures and deliver a certificate of such disposal to the Company. The
acquisition of any Securities or Coupons by the Company shall not operate as a
redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented thereby unless and
until such Securities or Coupons are surrendered to the Trustee for
cancellation.

Section 310. Computation of Interest. Except as otherwise specified pursuant to
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.

Section 311. Currency of Payments in Respect of Securities.

      (a)   Except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301 for Bearer
Securities of any series, payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and
interest on Bearer Securities of such series denominated in any Currency will be
made in such Currency.

      (b)   Except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301 for Registered
Securities of any series, payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and
interest on Registered Securities of such series will be made in U.S. Dollars.

      (c)   For purposes of any provision of the Indenture where the holders of
Outstanding Securities may perform an action that requires that a specified
percentage of the Outstanding Securities of all series perform such action and
for purposes of any decision or determination by the Trustee of amounts due and
unpaid for the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Securities
of all series in respect of which moneys are to be disbursed ratably, the
principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Outstanding Securities
denominated in a Foreign Currency will be the amount in U.S. Dollars based upon
exchange rates, determined as specified pursuant to Section 301 for Securities
of such series, as of the date for determining whether the holders entitled to
perform such action have performed it or as of the date of such decision or
determination by the Trustee, as the case may be.

                                       31
<PAGE>

      (d)   Any decision or determination to be made regarding exchange rates
shall be made by an agent appointed by the Company; provided, that such agent
shall accept such appointment in writing and the terms of such appointment
shall, in the opinion of the Company at the time of such appointment, require
such agent to make such determination by a method consistent with the method
provided pursuant to Section 301 for the making of such decision or
determination. All decisions and determinations of such agent regarding exchange
rates shall be in its sole discretion and shall, in the absence of manifest
error, be conclusive for all purposes and irrevocably binding upon the Company,
the Guarantor, the Trustee and all holders of the Securities.

Section 312. Judgments. The Company and the Guarantor may provide pursuant to
Section 301 for Securities of any series that (a) the obligation, if any, of the
Company or the Guarantor, as applicable, to pay the principal of, premium, if
any, and interest on the Securities of any series in a Foreign Currency or U.S.
Dollars (the "Designated Currency") as may be specified pursuant to Section 301
is of the essence and agrees that, to the fullest extent possible under
applicable law, judgments in respect of such Securities shall be given in the
Designated Currency; (b) the obligation of the Company or the Guarantor, as
applicable, to make payments in the Designated Currency of the principal of and
premium, if any, and interest on such Securities shall, notwithstanding any
payment in any other Currency (whether pursuant to a judgment or otherwise), be
discharged only to the extent of the amount in the Designated Currency that the
holder receiving such payment may, in accordance with normal banking procedures,
purchase with the sum paid in such other Currency (after any premium and cost of
exchange) on the business day in the country of issue of the Designated Currency
or in the international banking community (in the case of a composite currency)
immediately following the day on which such holder receives such payment; (c) if
the amount in the Designated Currency that may be so purchased for any reason
falls short of the amount originally due, the Company or the Guarantor, as
applicable, shall pay such additional amounts as may be necessary to compensate
for such shortfall; and (d) any obligation of the Company or the Guarantor, as
applicable, not discharged by such payment shall be due as a separate and
independent obligation and, until discharged as provided herein, shall continue
in full force and effect.

Section 313. CUSIP Numbers. The Company in issuing any Securities may use CUSIP
numbers, if then generally in use, and thereafter with respect to such series,
the Trustee may use such numbers in any notice of redemption or exchange with
respect to such series provided that any such notice may state that no
representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed
on the Securities or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that
reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the
Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or
omission of such numbers. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee in
writing of any change in the CUSIP numbers.

                                  ARTICLE FOUR

                            REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES

Section 401. Applicability of Right of Redemption. Redemption of Securities
(other than pursuant to a sinking fund or analogous provision) permitted by the
terms of any series of Securities shall be made in accordance with such terms
(except as otherwise specified pursuant

                                       32
<PAGE>

to Section 301 for Securities of any series) in accordance with this Article;
provided, however, that if any such terms of a series of Securities shall
conflict with any provision of this Article, the terms of such series shall
govern.

Section 402. Tax Redemption; Special Tax Redemption.

      (a)   Unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301, Bearer
Securities of any series may be redeemed at the option of the Company in whole,
but not in part, at any time, at the Redemption Price thereof (calculated
without premium), if the Company has or will become obligated to pay additional
interest on such Bearer Securities pursuant to Section 602 as a result of any
change in, or amendment to, the laws (or any regulation or ruling promulgated
thereunder) of the United States or any political subdivision or taxing
authority thereof or therein, or any change in the application or official
interpretation of such laws, regulations or rulings, which change or amendment
becomes effective on or after the date on which any Person (including any Person
acting as underwriter, broker or dealer) agrees to purchase any of such Bearer
Securities pursuant to their original issuance, and such obligation cannot be
avoided by the Company taking reasonable measures available to it. If the
Company elects to redeem Bearer Securities pursuant to this Section 402, it
shall notify the Trustee and the holders of such Bearer Securities in accordance
with Sections 403 and 404; provided that no such notice of redemption shall be
given earlier than 90 days prior to the earliest date on which the Company would
be obligated to pay such additional interest were a payment in respect of the
Bearer Securities of that series then due. Prior to the publication of any
notice of redemption pursuant to this Section 402(a), the Company shall deliver
to the Trustee (i) an Officers' Certificate stating that the Company is entitled
to effect such redemption and setting forth a statement of facts showing that
the conditions precedent to the right of the Company so to redeem have occurred
and (ii) an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Company has or will become
obligated to pay such additional interest as a result of such change or
amendment.

      (b)   Unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301, if the Company
shall determine that any payment made outside the United States by the Company
or any of its Paying Agents in respect of any Bearer Security or Coupon, if any,
that is not a Floating Rate Security (an "Affected Security") would, under any
present or future laws or regulations in the United States, be subject to any
certification, documentation, information or other reporting requirement of any
kind, the effect of which requirement is the disclosure to the Company, any
Paying Agent or any governmental authority of the nationality, residence or
identity of a beneficial owner of such Affected Security that is a United States
Alien (other than such a requirement (i) that would not be applicable to a
payment made by the Company or any one of its Paying Agents (A) directly to the
beneficial owner or (B) to a custodian, nominee or other agent of the beneficial
owner, or (ii) that can be satisfied by such custodian, nominee or other agent
certifying to the effect that the beneficial owner is a United States Alien;
provided that, in any case referred to in clause (i)(B) or (ii), payment by the
custodian, nominee or agent to the beneficial owner is not otherwise subject to
any such requirement), then the Company shall elect either (x) to redeem such
Affected Securities in whole, but not in part, at the Redemption Price thereof
(calculated without premium) or (y) if the conditions of the next succeeding
paragraph are satisfied, to pay the additional interest specified in such
paragraph. The Company shall make such determination as soon as practicable and
publish prompt notice thereof (the "Determination Notice"), stating the
effective date of such certification, documentation, information or other
reporting

                                       33
<PAGE>

requirement, whether the Company elects to redeem the Affected Securities or to
pay the additional interest specified in the next succeeding paragraph and (if
applicable) the last date by which the redemption of the Affected Securities
must take place, as provided in the next succeeding sentence. If any Affected
Securities are to be redeemed pursuant to this paragraph, the redemption shall
take place on such date, not later than one year after the publication of the
Determination Notice, as the Company shall specify by notice given to the
Trustee and the holders of the Affected Securities in accordance with Sections
403 and 404. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not so redeem the
Affected Securities if the Company shall subsequently determine, not less than
30 days prior to the Redemption Date, that subsequent payments on the Affected
Securities would not be subject to any such certification, documentation,
information or other reporting requirement, in which case the Company shall
publish prompt notice of such subsequent determination, and any earlier
redemption notice given pursuant to this paragraph shall be revoked and of no
further effect. Prior to the publication of any Determination Notice pursuant to
this paragraph, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee (i) an Officers'
Certificate stating that the Company is entitled to make such determination and
setting forth a statement of facts showing that the conditions precedent to the
obligation of the Company to redeem the Affected Securities or to pay the
additional interest specified in the next succeeding paragraph have occurred and
(ii) an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such conditions have occurred.

      (c)   If and so long as the certification, documentation, information or
other reporting requirements referred to in the preceding paragraph would be
fully satisfied by payment of a backup withholding tax or similar charge, the
Company may elect to pay as additional interest such amounts as may be necessary
so that every net payment made outside the United States following the effective
date of such requirement by the Company or any of its Paying Agents in respect
of any Affected Security of which the beneficial owner is a United States Alien
(but without any requirement that the nationality, residence or identity of such
beneficial owner be disclosed to the Company, any Paying Agent or any
governmental authority), after deduction or withholding for or on account of
such backup withholding tax or similar charge (other than a backup withholding
tax or similar charge that (i) would not be applicable in the circumstances
referred to in the parenthetical clause of the first sentence of the preceding
paragraph or (ii) is imposed as a result of presentation of any such Affected
Security for payment more than 15 days after the date on which such payment
became due and payable or on which payment thereof was duly provided for,
whichever occurred later), will not be less than the amount provided in any such
Affected Security to be then due and payable. If the Company elects to pay
additional interest pursuant to this paragraph, then the Company shall have the
right, but shall not be required, to redeem the Affected Securities at any time
in whole, but not in part, at the Redemption Price thereof (calculated without
premium), subject to the provisions of the last three sentences of the
immediately preceding paragraph. If the Company elects to pay additional
interest pursuant to this paragraph and the condition specified in the first
sentence of this paragraph should no longer be satisfied, then the Company shall
redeem the Affected Securities in whole, but not in part, at the Redemption
Price thereof (calculated without premium), subject to the provisions of the
last three sentences of the immediately preceding paragraph. Any redemption
payments made by the Company pursuant to the two immediately preceding sentences
shall be subject to the continuing obligation of the Company to pay additional
interest pursuant to this paragraph. If the Company elects to, or is required
to, redeem the Affected

                                       34
<PAGE>

Securities pursuant to this paragraph, it shall notify the Trustee and the
holders of the Affected Securities thereof in accordance with Sections 403 and
404.

Section 403. Selection of Securities to be Redeemed.

      (a)   If the Company shall at any time elect to redeem all or any portion
of the Securities of a series then Outstanding, it shall at least 45 days prior
to the Redemption Date fixed by the Company (unless a shorter period shall be
satisfactory to the Trustee) notify the Trustee of such Redemption Date and of
the principal amount of Securities to be redeemed, and thereupon the Trustee
shall select, in such manner as the Trustee shall deem appropriate and fair, the
Securities (or portions thereof) of such series to be redeemed. Unless otherwise
provided in the Officers' Certificate or supplemental indenture provided for in
Section 301, no Security of a denomination of $1,000 shall be redeemed in part
and Securities may be redeemed in part only in integral multiples of $1,000. In
any case where more than one Registered Security of such series is registered in
the same name, the Trustee in its discretion may treat the aggregate principal
amount so registered as if it were represented by one Registered Security of
such series. The Trustee shall, as soon as practicable, notify the Company in
writing of the Securities and portions of Securities so selected.

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

Section 404. Notice of Redemption.

      (a)   The election of the Company to redeem any Securities of any series
shall be evidenced by a Board Resolution. Notice of redemption 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, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the
Redemption Date, to the holders of Securities of any series to be redeemed in
whole or in part pursuant to this Article, in the manner provided in Section
1708. Any notice so given shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly
given, whether or not the holder receives such notice. Failure to give such
notice, or any defect in such notice to the holder of any Security of a series
designated for redemption, in whole or in part, shall not affect the sufficiency
of any notice of redemption with respect to the holder of any other Security of
such series.

      (b)   All notices of redemption shall identify the Securities to be
redeemed (including CUSIP numbers) and shall state:

            (i)   such election by the Company to redeem Securities of such
      series pursuant to provisions contained in this Indenture or the terms of
      the Securities of such series or a supplemental indenture establishing
      such series, if such be the case;

            (ii)  the Redemption Date;

            (iii) the Redemption Price;

                                       35
<PAGE>

            (iv)  if less than all Outstanding Securities of any series are to
      be redeemed, the identification (and, in the case of partial redemption,
      the principal amounts) of the particular Securities to be redeemed;

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

            (vi)  that, unless otherwise specified in such notice, Coupon
      Securities of any series, if any, surrendered for redemption must be
      accompanied by all Coupons maturing subsequent to the date fixed for
      redemption, failing which the amount of any such missing Coupon or Coupons
      will be deducted from the Redemption Price;

            (vii) the Place or Places of Payment where such Securities are to be
      surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price, and that the Securities
      designated in such notice for redemption are required to be presented on
      or after such Redemption Date at the designated Place of Payment;

            (viii) if Bearer Securities of any series are to be redeemed and any
      Registered Securities of such series are not to be redeemed, and if such
      Bearer Securities may be exchanged for Registered Securities not subject
      to redemption on this Redemption Date pursuant to Section 306(c) or
      otherwise, the last date on which such exchanges may be made;

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

            (x)   if any Security of any series is to be redeemed in part, that
      on and after the Redemption Date, upon surrender of such Security and any
      Coupons appertaining thereto, such Security and any Coupons appertaining
      thereto will be canceled and a new Security or Securities of such series
      in aggregate principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof and
      with appropriate Coupons will be issued and delivered without charge to
      the holder or, in the case of Securities providing appropriate space for
      such notation, at the option of the holders, the Trustee, in lieu of
      delivering a new Security or Securities as aforesaid, may make a notation
      on such Security of the payment of the redeemed portion thereof.

Section 405. Deposit of Redemption Price. On or prior to 10 a.m., New York City
time, on the Redemption Date for any Registered Securities, 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 604) an
amount of money in the Currency in which such Securities are denominated (except
as provided pursuant to Section 301) sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of
such Securities or any portions thereof that are to be redeemed on that date. In
the case of any redemption pertaining to Bearer or Coupon Securities, the
Company shall, no later than the Business Day prior to such Redemption Date,
deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (other than the Company) an
amount of money in the Currency in which such Securities are denominated (except
as provided pursuant to Section 301) sufficient to pay the

                                       36
<PAGE>

Redemption Price of such Securities or any portion thereof that are to be
redeemed on the Redemption Date.

Section 406. Securities Payable on Redemption Date. Notice of redemption having
been given as aforesaid, any Securities so to be redeemed shall, on the
Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Redemption Price and from and
after such date (unless the Company shall Default in the payment of the
Redemption Price) such Securities shall cease to bear interest and any Coupons
for such interest appertaining to any such Securities to be redeemed, except to
the extent described below, shall be void. 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; provided, however, that installments of
interest that have a Stated Maturity on or prior to the Redemption Date for such
Securities shall be payable according to the terms of such Securities and the
provisions of Section 308.

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

            If any Coupon Security surrendered for redemption shall not be
accompanied by all Coupons appertaining thereto maturing on or after the
Redemption Date, the Redemption Price for such Coupon Security may be reduced by
an amount equal to the face amount of all such missing Coupons. If thereafter
the holder of such Coupon shall surrender to any Paying Agent outside the United
States any such missing Coupon in respect of which a deduction shall have been
made from the Redemption Price, such holder shall be entitled to receive the
amount so deducted. The surrender of such missing Coupon or Coupons may be
waived by the Company and the Trustee, if there be furnished to them such
security or indemnity as they may require to save each of them and any Paying
Agent harmless.

Section 407. Securities Redeemed in Part. Any Security that is to be redeemed
only in part shall be surrendered at the Corporate Trust Office or such other
office or agency of the Company as is specified pursuant to Section 301 (in the
case of Registered Securities) and at the principal London office of the Trustee
or such other office or agency of the Company outside the United States as is
specified pursuant to Section 301 (in the case of Bearer Securities) with, if
the Company, the Registrar or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a
written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company, the
Registrar 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, of like tenor and form, 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, and, in the case of a Coupon Security, with
appropriate Coupons attached; except that if a Global Security is so
surrendered, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver to the Depositary for such Global Security, without service charge, a
new Global Security in a denomination equal to and in exchange for the
unredeemed portion of the principal of the Global Security so surrendered. In
the case of a Security providing appropriate space for such notation, at the
option of the holder thereof, the Trustee, in lieu of delivering a new Security
or Securities

                                       37

<PAGE>

as aforesaid, may make a notation on such Security of the payment of the
redeemed portion thereof.

                                  ARTICLE FIVE

                                  SINKING FUNDS

Section 501. Applicability of Sinking Fund.

      (a) Redemption of Securities permitted or required pursuant to a sinking
fund for the retirement of Securities of a series by the terms of such series of
Securities shall be made in accordance with such terms of such series of
Securities and this Article, except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section
301 for Securities of such series, provided, however, that if any such terms of
a series of Securities shall conflict with any provision of this Article, the
terms of such series shall govern.

      (b) The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the
terms of Securities of any series is herein referred to as a "Mandatory Sinking
Fund Payment," and any payment in excess of such minimum amount provided for by
the terms of Securities of any series is herein referred to as an "Optional
Sinking Fund Payment." If provided for by the terms of Securities of any series,
the cash amount of any Mandatory Sinking Fund Payment may be subject to
reduction as provided in Section 502.

Section 502. Mandatory Sinking Fund Obligation. The Company may, at its option,
satisfy any Mandatory Sinking Fund Payment obligation, in whole or in part, with
respect to a particular series of Securities by (1) delivering to the Trustee
Securities of such series in transferable form (together with the unmatured
Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto) theretofore purchased or otherwise
acquired by the Company or redeemed at the election of the Company pursuant to
Section 403 or (2) receiving credit for Securities of such series (together with
the unmatured Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto) (not previously so
credited) acquired by the Company and theretofore delivered to the Trustee. The
Trustee shall credit such Mandatory Sinking Fund Payment obligation with an
amount equal to the Redemption Price specified in such Securities for redemption
through operation of the sinking fund and the amount of such Mandatory Sinking
Fund Payment shall be reduced accordingly. If the Company shall elect to so
satisfy any Mandatory Sinking Fund Payment obligation, it shall deliver to the
Trustee not less than 45 days prior to the relevant sinking fund payment date a
written notice signed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman of the Board of
Directors, its President, one of its Vice Presidents, its Treasurer or one of
its Assistant Treasurers, which shall designate the Securities (and portions
thereof, if any) so delivered or credited and which shall be accompanied by such
Securities (together with the unmatured Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto)
(to the extent not theretofore delivered) in transferable form. In case of the
failure of the Company, at or before the time so required, to give such notice
and deliver such Securities the Mandatory Sinking Fund Payment obligation shall
be paid entirely in moneys.

Section 503. Optional Redemption at Sinking Fund Redemption Price. In addition
to the sinking fund requirements of Section 502, to the extent, if any, provided
for by the terms of a particular series of Securities, the Company may, at its
option, make an Optional Sinking Fund

                                       38

<PAGE>

Payment with respect to such Securities. Unless otherwise provided by such
terms, (a) to the extent that the right of the Company to make such Optional
Sinking Fund Payment shall not be exercised in any year, it shall not be
cumulative or carried forward to any subsequent year, and (b) such optional
payment shall operate to reduce the amount of any Mandatory Sinking Fund Payment
obligation as to Securities of the same series. If the Company intends to
exercise its right to make such optional payment in any year it shall deliver to
the Trustee not less than 45 days prior to the relevant sinking fund payment
date a certificate signed by its Chairman of the Board of Directors, its
President, one of its Vice President, its Treasurer or one of its Assistant
Treasurers stating that the Company will exercise such optional right, and
specifying the amount which the Company will pay on or before the next
succeeding sinking fund payment date. Such certificate shall also state that no
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

Section 504. Application of Sinking Fund Payment.

      (a) If the sinking fund payment or payments made in funds pursuant to
either Section 502 or 503 with respect to a particular series of Securities plus
any unused balance of any preceding sinking fund payments made in funds with
respect to such series shall exceed $50,000 (or a lesser sum if the Company
shall so request, or such equivalent sum for Securities denominated other than
in U.S. Dollars), it shall be applied by the Trustee on the sinking fund payment
date next following the date of such payment, unless the date of such payment
shall be a sinking fund payment date, in which case such payment shall be
applied on such sinking fund payment date, to the redemption of Securities of
such series at the redemption price specified in Section 404(b). The Trustee
shall select, in the manner provided in Section 403, for redemption on such
sinking fund payment date, a sufficient principal amount of Securities of such
series to absorb said funds, as nearly as may be, and shall, at the expense and
in the name of the Company, thereupon cause notice of redemption of the
Securities to be given in substantially the manner provided in Section 404(a)
for the redemption of Securities in part at the option of the Company, except
that the notice of redemption shall also state that the Securities are being
redeemed for the sinking fund. Any sinking fund moneys not so applied by the
Trustee to the redemption of Securities of such series shall be added to the
next sinking fund payment received in funds by the Trustee and, together with
such payment, shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of this Section
504. Any and all sinking fund moneys held by the Trustee on the last sinking
fund payment date with respect to Securities of such series, and not held for
the payment or redemption of particular Securities of such series, shall be
applied by the Trustee to the payment of the principal of the Securities of such
series at maturity.

      (b) On or prior to each sinking fund payment date, the Company shall pay
to the Trustee a sum equal to all interest accrued to the date fixed for
redemption on Securities to be redeemed on such sinking fund payment date
pursuant to this Section 504.

      (c) The Trustee shall not redeem any Securities of a series with sinking
fund moneys or mail any notice of redemption of Securities of such series by
operation of the sinking fund during the continuance of a Default in payment of
interest on any Securities of such series or of any Event of Default (other than
an Event of Default occurring as a consequence of this paragraph) of which the
Trustee has actual knowledge, except that if the notice of redemption of any
Securities of such series shall theretofore have been mailed in accordance with
the provisions hereof, the Trustee shall redeem such Securities if funds
sufficient for that purpose

                                       39

<PAGE>

shall be deposited with the Trustee in accordance with the terms of this
Article. Except as aforesaid, any moneys in the sinking fund at the time any
such Default or Event of Default shall occur and any moneys thereafter paid into
the sinking fund shall, during the continuance of such Default or Event of
Default, be held as security for the payment of all the Securities of such
series; provided, however, that in case such Default or Event of Default shall
have been cured or waived as provided herein, such moneys shall thereafter be
applied on the next sinking fund payment date on which such moneys are required
to be applied pursuant to the provisions of this Section 504.

                                  ARTICLE SIX

                       PARTICULAR COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY

      The Company hereby covenants and agrees as follows:

Section 601. Payments of Securities. The Company will duly and punctually pay
the principal of and premium, if any, on each series of Securities, and the
interest which shall have accrued thereon, and pay any Coupons, at the dates and
place and in the manner provided in the Securities, the Coupons and in this
Indenture. Any interest due on Coupon Securities on or before Maturity, other
than additional interest, if any, payable as provided in Section 602 in respect
of principal of (or premium, if any, on) such a Security, shall be payable only
upon presentation and surrender of the several Coupons for such interest
installments as are evidenced thereby as they severally mature.

Section 602. Payment of Additional Interest. Unless otherwise provided pursuant
to Section 301, the provisions of this Section 602 shall be applicable to Bearer
Securities of any series.

      (a) The Company will, subject to the exceptions and limitations set forth
below, pay as additional interest to the holder of any Bearer Security or Coupon
that is a United States Alien such amounts as may be necessary so that every net
payment on such Bearer Security or Coupon, after deduction or withholding for or
on account of any present or future tax, assessment or other governmental charge
imposed upon or as a result of such payment by the United States (or any
political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein), will not be less
than the amount provided in such Bearer Security or Coupon to be then due and
payable. However, the Company will not be required to make any such payment of
additional interest for or on account of:

            (i) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not
      have been imposed but for (i) the existence of any present or former
      connection between such holder (or between a fiduciary, settlor or
      beneficiary of, or a person holding a power over, such holder, if such
      holder is an estate or a trust, or a member or shareholder of such holder,
      if such holder is a partnership or corporation) and the United States,
      including, without limitation, such holder (or such fiduciary, settlor,
      beneficiary, person holding a power, member or shareholder) being or
      having been a citizen or resident thereof or being or having been engaged
      in trade or business or present therein or having or having had a
      permanent establishment therein or (ii) such holder's past or present
      status as a personal holding company, foreign personal holding company or
      private foundation or

                                       40

<PAGE>

      other tax-exempt organization with respect to the United States or as a
      corporation that accumulates earnings to avoid United States federal
      income tax;

            (ii) any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer or personal
      property tax or any similar tax, assessment or other governmental charge;

            (iii) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would
      not have been imposed but for the presentation by the holder of a Bearer
      Security or Coupon for payment more than 15 days after the date on which
      such payment became due and payable or on which payment thereof was duly
      provided for, whichever occurs later;

            (iv) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is
      payable otherwise than by deduction or withholding from a payment on a
      Bearer Security or Coupon;

            (v) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge required to be
      deducted or withheld by any Paying Agent from a payment on a Bearer
      Security or Coupon, if such payment can be made without such deduction or
      withholding by any other Paying Agent;

            (vi) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not
      have been imposed but for a failure to comply with applicable
      certification, documentation, information or other reporting requirement
      concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connection with the
      United States of the holder or beneficial owner of a Bearer Security or
      Coupon if, without regard to any tax treaty, such compliance is required
      by statute or regulation of the United States as a condition to relief or
      exemption from such tax, assessment or other governmental charge; or

            (vii) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed on a
      holder that actually or constructively owns 10 percent or more of the
      combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or that is a
      controlled foreign corporation related to the Company through stock
      ownership;

nor shall additional interest be paid with respect to a payment on a Bearer
Security or Coupon to a holder that is a fiduciary or partnership or other than
the sole beneficial owner of such payment to the extent a beneficiary or settlor
with respect to such fiduciary or a member of such partnership or a beneficial
owner would not have been entitled to the additional interest had such
beneficiary, settlor, member or beneficial owner been the holder of such Bearer
Security or Coupon.

      (b) Whenever in this Indenture there is mentioned, in any context, the
payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest on any Security or
payment with respect to any Coupon of any series, such mention shall be deemed
to include mention of the payment of additional interest provided for in the
terms of such Securities and this Section to the extent that, in such context,
additional interest is, was or would be payable in respect thereof pursuant to
the provisions of this Section and express mention of the payment of additional
interest (if applicable) in any provisions hereof shall not be construed as
excluding additional interest in those provisions hereof where such express
mention is not made.

                                       41

<PAGE>

      (c) If the payment of additional interest becomes required in respect of
the Securities of a series, at least ten days prior to the first Interest
Payment Date with respect to which such additional interest will be payable (or
if the Securities of that series will not bear interest prior to Maturity, the
first day on which a payment of principal and premium, if any, is made and on
which such additional interest will be payable), and at least ten days prior to
each date of payment of principal and premium, if any, or interest if there has
been any change with respect to the matters set forth in the below mentioned
Officers' Certificate, the Company will furnish the Trustee and each Paying
Agent with an Officers' Certificate that shall specify by country the amount, if
any, required to be withheld on such payments to holders of Securities or
Coupons that are United States Aliens, and the Company will pay to the Trustee
or such Paying Agent the additional interest, if any, required by the terms of
such Securities and this Section. The Company covenants to indemnify the Trustee
and any Paying Agent for, and to hold them harmless against, any loss, liability
or expense reasonably incurred without negligence or bad faith on their part
arising out of or in connection with actions taken or omitted by any of them in
reliance on any Officers' Certificate furnished pursuant to this Section 602.

Section 603. Paying Agent.

      (a) The Company will maintain in each Place of Payment for any series of
Securities and Coupons, if any, an office or agency where Securities and Coupons
of such series (but, except as otherwise provided in Section 308, unless such
Place of Payment is located outside the United States, not Bearer Securities or
Coupons) may be presented or surrendered for payment, where Securities of such
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 and
Coupons of such series and this Indenture may be served (the "Paying Agent"). So
long as any Bearer Securities of any series remain outstanding, the Company will
maintain for such purposes one or more offices or agencies outside the United
States in such city or cities specified pursuant to Section 301 and, if any
Bearer Securities are listed on a securities exchange that requires an office or
agency for the payment of principal of and premium, if any, or interest on such
Bearer Securities in a location other than the location of an office or agency
specified pursuant to Section 301, the Company will maintain for such purposes
an office or agency in such location so long as any Bearer Securities are listed
on such securities exchange and such exchange so requires. 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 (in the case
of Registered Securities) and at the principal London office of the Trustee (in
the case of Bearer Securities), and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee as
its agent to receive all presentations, surrenders, notices and demands.

      (b) The Company may also from time to time designate different or
additional offices or agencies to be maintained for such purposes (in or outside
of such Place of Payment), and may from time to time rescind any such
designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in
any manner relieve the Company of its obligations described in the preceding
paragraph. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any
such additional designation or rescission of designation and any change in the
location of any such different or additional office or agency.

Section 604. To Hold Payment in Trust.

      (a) If the Company, the Guarantor or an Affiliate of either the Company or
the Guarantor shall at any time act as Paying Agent with respect to any series
of Securities and Coupons, if any, then, on or before the date on which the
principal of and premium, if any, or interest on any of the Securities of that
series by their terms or as a result of the calling thereof for redemption shall
become payable, the Company, the Guarantor or such Affiliate will set apart and
segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the holders of such Securities or
the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay such principal and premium, if any, or
interest which shall have so become payable until such sums shall be paid to
such holders or otherwise disposed of as herein provided, and will notify the
Trustee of its action or failure to act in that regard and of any action or
failure by the Company, the Guarantor or any other obligor upon the Securities
of that series to make any such payment. Upon any proceeding under any federal
bankruptcy laws with respect to the Company or the Guarantor or any Affiliate of
the Company or the Guarantor, if the Company, the Guarantor or such Affiliate is
then acting as Paying Agent, the Trustee shall replace the Company, the
Guarantor or such Affiliate as Paying Agent.

      (b) If the Company shall appoint, and at the time have, a Paying Agent for
the payment of the principal of and premium, if any, or interest on any series
of Securities and Coupons, then prior to 10 a.m., New York City time, on the
date on which the principal of and premium, if any, or interest on any of the
Securities of that series shall become payable as aforesaid, whether by their
terms or as a result of the calling thereof for redemption, the Company will
deposit with such Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay such principal and
premium, if any, or interest, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of
the holders of such Securities.

      (c) If such Paying Agent shall be other than the Trustee, the Company will
cause such Paying Agent 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 603, that such Paying Agent shall:

            (i) hold all moneys held by it for the payment of the principal of
      and premium, if any, or interest on the Securities of that series and any
      related Coupons in trust for the benefit of the holders of such Securities
      until such sums shall be paid to such holders or otherwise disposed of as
      herein provided;

            (ii) give to the Trustee notice of any Default by the Company, the
      Guarantor or any other obligor upon the Securities of that series in the
      making of any payment of the principal of and premium, if any, or interest
      on the Securities of that series or any payment on any related Coupons
      when the same shall have become due and payable; and

            (iii) at any time during the continuance of any such Default, upon
      the written request of the Trustee, pay to the Trustee all sums so held in
      trust by such Paying Agent.

      (d) Anything in this Section 604 to the contrary notwithstanding, the
Company may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining a release, satisfaction or
discharge of this Indenture or for any other reason, pay or cause to be paid to
the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Company

                                       43

<PAGE>

or by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee as required by this Section 604,
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.

      (e) 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 and premium, if
any, or interest on any Security of any series or the payment of any related
Coupon and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal and premium,
if any, or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company upon
Company Request, or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such
trust, and the holder of such Security or Coupon shall thereafter, as an
unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for payment thereof (except
as with regards to the Guarantee), 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 transmitted in the manner and to the
extent provided by Section 1708, 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 notification, any unclaimed balance of such money then
remaining will be repaid to the Company.

Section 605. Merger, Consolidation and Sale of Assets.

      (a) The Company will not consolidate with any other entity or accept a
merger of any other entity into the Company or permit the Company to be merged
into any other entity, or sell other than for cash or lease all or substantially
all its assets to another entity, or purchase all or substantially all the
assets of another entity, unless (i) either the Company shall be the continuing
entity, or the successor, transferee or lessee entity (if other than the
Company) shall expressly assume, by indenture supplemental hereto satisfactory
to the Trustee, executed and delivered by such entity prior to or simultaneously
with such consolidation, merger, sale or lease, the due and punctual payment of
the principal of and interest and premium, if any, on all the Securities (and
Coupons, if any), according to their tenor, and the due and punctual performance
and observance of all other obligations to the holders and the Trustee under
this Indenture or under the Securities (and Coupons, if any) to be performed or
observed by the Company; and (ii) immediately after such consolidation, merger,
sale, lease or purchase the Company or the successor, transferee or lessee
entity (if other than the Company) would not be in Default in the performance of
any covenant or condition of this Indenture. A purchase by a Subsidiary of all
or substantially all of the assets of another entity shall not be deemed to be a
purchase of such assets by the Company.

      (b) Upon any consolidation with or merger into any other entity, or any
conveyance or lease of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company in
accordance with this Section 605, the successor entity formed by such
consolidation or into or with which the Company is merged or to which such
conveyance, transfer or lease is made shall succeed to, and be substituted for,
and may exercise every right and power of, the Company under this Indenture with
the same effect as if such successor entity had been named as the Company
herein, and thereafter, except in the case of a lease, the predecessor Company
shall be relieved of all obligations and covenants under this Indenture and the
Securities and Coupons.

accounting officer as to his or her knowledge of the Company's compliance with
all conditions and covenants under this Indenture (which compliance shall be
determined without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice
provided under this Indenture) and, in the event of any Default, specifying each
such Default and the nature and status thereof of which such person may have

shall have obtained and filed with the Trustee, prior to the time of such
failure or omission, evidence (as provided in Article Eight) of the consent of
the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of
such series at the time Outstanding, either waiving such compliance in such

guidelines, regulations, policies or published interpretations of the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

Securities of such series were issued as contemplated by Section 301) (other
than a covenant or agreement which has been expressly included in this Indenture
solely for the benefit of a series of Securities other than that series), which
failure shall not have been remedied to the satisfaction of the Trustee, or
without provision deemed by the Trustee to be adequate for the remedying thereof
having been made, for a period of 90 days after written notice shall have been
given to the Company and the Guarantor by the Trustee or shall have been given

<PAGE>

      (g) the occurrence of any other Event of Default with respect to
Securities of such series as provided in a supplemental indenture or Officers'
Certificate, if any, applicable to such series of Securities.

Section 702. Acceleration; Recission and Annulment.

      (a) If any one or more of the above-described Events of Default shall
happen with respect to Securities of any series at the time Outstanding, then,
and in each and every such case, during the continuance of any such Event of
Default, the Trustee or the holders of 25% or more in principal amount of the
Securities of such series then Outstanding may (and upon the written request of
the holders of a majority in principal amount of such Securities then
Outstanding, the Trustee shall) declare the principal (or, if the Securities of
that series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the
principal amount as may be specified in the terms of that series) of and all
accrued but unpaid interest on all the Securities of such series then
Outstanding, if not then due and payable, to be due and payable, and upon any
such declaration the same shall become and be immediately due and payable,
anything in this Indenture or in the Securities of such series contained to the
contrary notwithstanding; provided that no Event of Default with respect to
Securities of a series, except with respect to an Event of Default under
subsections (e) and (f) of Section 701 and except to the extent otherwise
provided in subsection (d) of Section 701, shall constitute an Event of Default
with respect to Securities of any other series. Upon payment of such amounts in
the Currency in which such Securities are denominated (except as otherwise
provided pursuant to Section 301), all obligations of the Company in respect of
the payment of principal of and interest on the Securities of such series shall
terminate.

      (b) This provision, however, is subject to the condition that, if at any
time after the principal of all the Securities of such series, to which any one
or more of the above-described Events of Default is applicable, shall have been
so declared to be due and payable, and before a judgment or decree for payment
of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in this Article
provided,

            (i) the Company has paid or deposited with the Paying Agent a sum in
      the Currency in which such Securities are denominated (except as otherwise
      provided pursuant to Section 301) sufficient to pay

                  (A) all arrears of interest, if any, upon all the Securities
            of such series (and all overdue payments with respect to any related
            Coupons) (with interest, to the extent that interest thereon shall
            be legally enforceable, on any overdue installment of interest at
            the rate borne by the Securities or Coupons of such series);

                  (B) the principal of and premium, if any, on any Securities of
            such series that have become due otherwise than by such declaration
            of acceleration and interest thereon;

                  (C) all amounts owing the Trustee and any predecessor trustee
            hereunder under Section 1101(a) (provided, however, that all sums
            payable under this clause (C) shall be paid in U.S. Dollars); and

                                       47

<PAGE>

                  (D) all other sums payable under this Indenture (except the
            principal of the Securities of such series which would not be due
            and payable were it not for such declaration), shall be paid by the
            Company or the Guarantor; and

            (ii) every other Default and Event of Default under this Indenture
      shall have been made good to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee or
      of the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities of such
      series then Outstanding, or provision deemed by the Trustee or by such
      holders to be adequate therefor shall have been made, then and in every
      such case the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities
      of such series then Outstanding may, by written notice to the Company, the
      Guarantor and the Trustee, on behalf of the holders of all the Securities
      of such series, waive the Event of Default by reason of which the
      principal of the Securities of such series shall have been so declared to
      be due and payable and may rescind and annul such declaration and its
      consequences; provided, however, that no such waiver, rescission or
      annulment shall extend to or affect any subsequent Default or Event of
      Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

      (c) Any declaration by the Trustee pursuant to this Section 702 shall be
by written notice to the Company and the Guarantor, and any declaration or
waiver by the holders of Securities of any series pursuant to this Section 702
shall be by written notice to the Company, the Guarantor and the Trustee.

      (d) For all purposes under this Indenture, if a portion of the principal
of any Discount Securities shall have been accelerated and declared due and
payable pursuant to the provisions hereof, then, from and after such
declaration, unless such declaration has been rescinded and annulled, the
principal amount of such Discount Securities shall be deemed, for all purposes
hereunder, to be such portion of the principal thereof as shall be due and
payable as a result of such acceleration, and payment of such portion of the
principal thereof as shall be due and payable as a result of such acceleration,
together with interest, if any, thereon and all other amounts owing thereunder,
shall constitute payment in full of such Discount Securities.

      (e) The Company, the Guarantor and the Trustee may, to the extent provided
in Section 1401, enter into one or more indentures supplemental hereto with
respect to any series of the Securities which may provide for additional or
different Events of Default with respect to such series of Securities.

Section 703. Other Remedies. If the Company shall fail for a period of 30 days
to pay any installment of interest on the Securities (and Coupons, if any) of
any series or shall fail to pay the principal of and premium, if any, on any of
the Securities of such series when and as the same shall become due and payable,
whether at Maturity, or by call for redemption (other than pursuant to the
sinking fund), by declaration as authorized by this Indenture, or otherwise, or
shall fail for a period of 30 days to make any sinking fund payment as to a
series of Securities, then, upon demand of the Trustee, the Company will pay to
the Paying Agent for the benefit of the holders of Securities of such series
then Outstanding the whole amount which then shall have become due and payable
on all the Securities of such series, with interest on the overdue principal and
premium, if any, and (so far as the same may be legally enforceable) on the

                                       48

<PAGE>

overdue installments of interest at the rate borne by the Securities of such
series, and all amounts owing the Trustee and any predecessor trustee hereunder
under Section 1101(a).

      In case the Company shall fail forthwith to pay such amounts upon such
demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, shall
be entitled and empowered to institute any action or proceeding at law or in
equity for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute any
such action or proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce any such
judgment or final decree against the Company or any other obligor upon the
Securities of such series, and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be
payable out of the property of the Company or any other obligor upon the
Securities of such series, wherever situated, in the manner provided by law.
Every recovery of judgment in any such action or other proceeding, subject to
the payment to the Trustee of all amounts owing the Trustee and any predecessor
trustee hereunder under Section 1101(a), shall be for the ratable benefit of the
holders of such series of Securities which shall be the subject of such action
or proceeding. All rights of action upon or under any of the Securities or this
Indenture may be enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the
Securities and without the production of any thereof at any trial or any
proceeding relative thereto.

Section 704. Trustee as Attorney-in-Fact. The Trustee is hereby appointed, and
each and every holder of the Securities, by receiving and holding the same,
shall be conclusively deemed to have appointed the Trustee, the true and lawful
attorney-in-fact of such holder, with authority to make or file (whether or not
the Company shall be in Default in respect of the payment of the principal of,
or interest on, any of the Securities), in its own name and as trustee of an
express trust or otherwise as it shall deem advisable, in any receivership,
insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization or other judicial proceeding
relative to the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities or to their
respective creditors or property, any and all claims, proofs of claim, proofs of
debt, petitions, consents, other papers and documents and amendments of any
thereof, as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the
Trustee and any predecessor trustee hereunder and of the holders of the
Securities allowed in any such proceeding and to collect and receive any moneys
or other property payable or deliverable on any such claim, and to execute and
deliver any and all other papers and documents and to do and perform any and all
other acts and things, as it may deem necessary or advisable in order to enforce
in any such proceeding any of the claims of the Trustee and any predecessor
trustee hereunder and of any of such holders in respect of any of the
Securities; and any receiver, assignee, trustee, custodian or debtor in any such
proceeding is hereby authorized, and each and every taker or holder of the
Securities, by receiving and holding the same, shall be conclusively deemed to
have authorized any such receiver, assignee, trustee, custodian or debtor, to
make any such payment or delivery only to or on the order of the Trustee, and to
pay to the Trustee any amount due it and any predecessor trustee hereunder under
Section 1101(a); provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall be
deemed to authorize or empower the Trustee to consent to or accept or adopt, on
behalf of any holder of Securities, any plan of reorganization or readjustment
affecting the Securities or the rights of any holder thereof, or to authorize or
empower the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any holder of any
Securities in any such proceeding.

Section 705. Priorities. Any moneys collected by the Trustee with respect to a
series of Securities under this Article Seven shall be applied in the order
following, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee for the distribution of
such moneys, upon presentation of the several

                                       49

<PAGE>

Securities, and stamping thereon the payment, if only partially paid, and upon
surrender thereof, if fully paid:

            First: To the payment of all amounts due to the Trustee and any
      predecessor trustee hereunder under Section 1101(a).

            Second: In case the principal of the Outstanding Securities of such
      series shall not have become due and be unpaid, to the payment of interest
      on the Securities of such series, in the order of the Maturity of the
      installments of such interest, with interest (to the extent that such
      interest has been collected by the Trustee) upon the overdue installments
      of interest at the rate borne by such Securities, such payments to be made
      ratably to the Persons entitled thereto.

            Third: In case the principal of the Outstanding Securities of such
      series shall have become due, by declaration or otherwise, to the payment
      of the whole amount then owing and unpaid upon the Securities of such
      series for principal and premium, if any, and interest, with interest on
      the overdue principal and premium, if any, and (to the extent that such
      interest has been collected by the Trustee) upon overdue installments of
      interest at the rate borne by the Securities of such series, and in case
      such moneys shall be insufficient to pay in full the whole amounts so due
      and unpaid upon the Securities of such series, then to the payment of such
      principal and premium, if any, and interest without preference or priority
      of principal and premium, if any, over interest, or of interest over
      principal and premium, if any, or of any installment of interest over any
      other installment of interest, or of any Security of such series over any
      other Security of such series, ratably to the aggregate of such principal
      and premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest.

Any surplus then remaining shall be paid to the Company or to such other Persons
as shall be entitled to receive it.

Section 706. Waiver of Past Defaults. The holders of a majority in principal
amount of the Securities of any series at the time Outstanding may direct the
time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to
the Trustee hereunder, or of exercising any trust or power hereby conferred upon
the Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series, provided, however,
that, subject to the provisions of Sections 1101 and 1102, the Trustee shall
have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee being
advised by counsel determines that the action so directed may not lawfully be
taken or would be unduly prejudicial to holders not joining in such direction or
would involve the Trustee in personal liability. Prior to any declaration
accelerating the Maturity of the Securities of any series, the holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of such series of Securities at the time
Outstanding may on behalf of the holders of all of the Securities of such series
waive any past Default or Event of Default hereunder and its consequences except
a Default in the payment of interest or any premium on or the principal of the
Securities of such series. Upon any such waiver the Company, the Guarantor, the
Trustee and the holders of the Securities of such series shall be restored to
their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively; but no such waiver
shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair
any right consequent thereon. Whenever any Default or Event of Default hereunder
shall have been

                                       50

<PAGE>

waived as permitted by this Section 706, said Default or Event of Default shall
for all purposes of the Securities of such series and this Indenture be deemed
to have been cured and to be not continuing.

Section 707. Control by Holders. No holder of any Security of any series shall
have any right to institute any action, suit or proceeding at law or in equity
for the execution of any trust hereunder or for the appointment of a receiver or
for any other remedy hereunder, in each case with respect to an Event of Default
with respect to such series of Securities, unless such holder previously shall
have given to the Trustee written notice of the happening of one or more of the
Events of Default herein specified with respect to such series of Securities,
and unless also the holders of 25% in principal amount of the Securities of such
series then Outstanding shall have requested the Trustee in writing to take
action in respect of the matter complained of, and unless also there shall have
been offered to the Trustee security and indemnity satisfactory to it against
the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby, and the
Trustee, for 60 days after receipt of such notification, request and offer of
indemnity, shall have neglected or refused to institute any such action, suit or
proceeding; and such notification, request and offer of indemnity are hereby
declared in every such case to be conditions precedent to any such action, suit
or proceeding by any holder of any Security of such series; it being understood
and intended that no one or more of the holders of Securities of such series
shall have any right in any manner whatsoever by his or their action to enforce
any right hereunder, except in the manner herein provided, and that every
action, suit or proceeding at law or in equity shall be instituted, had and
maintained in the manner herein provided and for the equal benefit of all
holders of the Outstanding Securities of such series; provided, however, that
nothing in this Indenture or in the Securities of such series shall affect or
impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to
pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Securities of such
series to the respective holders of such Securities at the respective due dates
in such Securities stated, or affect or impair the right, which is also absolute
and unconditional, of such holders to institute suit to enforce the payment
thereof.

Section 708. Legal Fees. All parties to this Indenture and the holders of the
Securities agree that the court may in its discretion require, in any action,
suit or proceeding for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this
Indenture, or in any action, suit or proceeding against the Trustee for any
action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in
such action, suit or proceeding of an undertaking to pay the costs of such
action, suit or proceeding, and that such court may in its discretion assess
reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees, against any party
litigant in such action, suit or proceeding, having due regard to the merits and
good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; provided,
however, that the provisions of this Section 708 shall not apply to any action,
suit or proceeding instituted by the Trustee, to any action, suit or proceeding
instituted by any one or more holders of Securities holding in the aggregate
more than 10% in principal amount of the Securities of any series Outstanding,
or to any action, suit or proceeding instituted by any holder of Securities of
any series for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of or premium, if
any, or the interest on, any of the Securities of such series, on or after the
respective due dates expressed in such Securities.

Section 709. Remedies Cumulative. No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to
the Trustee or to the holders of Securities of any series is intended to be
exclusive of any other

                                       51

<PAGE>

remedy or remedies, and each and every remedy shall be cumulative and shall be
in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing
at law or in equity or by statute. No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any
holder of the Securities of any series to exercise any right or power accruing
upon any Default or Event of Default shall impair any such right or power or
shall be construed to be a waiver of any such Default or Event of Default or an
acquiescence therein; and every power and remedy given by this Article Seven to
the Trustee and to the holders of Securities of any series, respectively, may be
exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by the
Trustee or by the holders of Securities of such series, as the case may be. In
case the Trustee or any holder of Securities of any series shall have proceeded
to enforce any right under this Indenture and the proceedings for the
enforcement thereof shall have been discontinued or abandoned because of waiver
or for any other reason or shall have been adjudicated adversely to the Trustee
or to such holder of Securities, then and in every such case the Company, the
Guarantor, the Trustee and the holders of the Securities of such series shall
severally and respectively be restored to their former positions and rights
hereunder and thereafter all rights, remedies and powers of the Trustee and the
holders of the Securities of such series shall continue as though no such
proceedings had been taken, except as to any matters so waived or adjudicated.

                                 ARTICLE EIGHT

                         CONCERNING THE SECURITYHOLDERS

Section 801. Evidence of Action of Securityholders. Whenever in this Indenture
it is provided that the holders of a specified percentage or a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the Securities or of any series of Securities may
take any action (including the making of any demand or request, the giving of
any notice, consent or waiver or the taking of any other action), the fact that
at the time of taking any such action the holders of such specified percentage
or majority have joined therein may be evidenced by (a) any instrument or any
number of instruments of similar tenor executed by Securityholders in person or
by agent or proxy appointed in writing (such action becoming effective, except
as herein otherwise expressly provided, when such instrument or instruments are
delivered to the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the
Company), or (b) by the record of the holders of Securities voting in favor
thereof at any meeting of Securityholders duly called and held in accordance
with the provisions of Article Seven, or (c) by a combination of such instrument
or instruments and any such record of such a meeting of Securityholders.

Section 802. Proof of Execution or Holding of Securities. Proof of the execution
of any instrument by a Securityholder or his agent or proxy and proof of the
holding by any Person of any of the Securities shall be sufficient if made in
the following manner:

      (a) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such
instrument may be proved (a) by the certificate of any notary public or other
officer in any jurisdiction who, by the laws thereof, has power to take
acknowledgments or proof of deeds to be recorded within such jurisdiction, that
the Person who signed such instrument did acknowledge before such notary public
or other officer the execution thereof, or (b) by the affidavit of a witness of
such execution sworn to before any such notary or other officer. Where such
execution is by a Person acting in

                                       52

other than his individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also
constitute sufficient proof of his authority.

      (b) The ownership of Registered Securities of any series shall be proved
by the Register of such Securities or by a certificate of the Registrar for such
series.

      (c) The ownership of Bearer Securities shall be proved by production of
such Bearer Securities or by a certificate executed by any bank or trust
company, which certificate shall be dated and shall state on the date thereof a
Bearer Security bearing a specified identifying number or other mark was
deposited with or exhibited to the person executing such certificate by the
person named in such certificate, or by any other proof of possession reasonably
satisfactory to the Trustee. The holding by the person named in any such
certificate of any Bearer Security specified therein shall be presumed to
continue for a period of one year unless at the time of determination of such
holding (1) another certificate bearing a later date issued in respect of the
same Bearer Securities shall be produced, (2) such Bearer Security shall be
produced by some other Person, (3) such Bearer Security shall have been
registered on the Register, if, pursuant to Section 301, such Bearer Security
can be so registered, or (4) such Bearer Security shall have been canceled or
paid.

      (d) The record of any holders' meeting shall be proved in the manner
provided in Section 906.

      (e) The Trustee may require such additional proof of any matter referred
to in this Section 802 as it shall deem appropriate or necessary, so long as the
request is a reasonable one.

      (f) If the Company shall solicit from the holders of Securities of any
series any action, the Company may, at its option, by Board Resolution, fix in
advance a record date for the determination of holders of Registered Securities
entitled to take such action, but the Company shall have no obligation to do so.
Any such record date shall be fixed at the Company's discretion. If such a
record date is fixed, such action may be sought or given before or after the
record date, but only the holders of Registered Securities of record at the
close of business on such record date shall be deemed to be holders of
Registered Securities for the purpose of determining whether holders of the
requisite proportion of Outstanding Securities of such series have authorized or
agreed or consented to such action, and for that purpose the Outstanding
Registered Securities of such series shall be computed as of such record date.

Section 803. Persons Deemed Owners.

      (a) The Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee
may treat the Person in whose name any Registered Security is registered as the
owner of such Registered Security for the purpose of receiving payment of
principal of and premium, if any, and (subject to Section 308) interest, if any,
on, such Registered Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or
not such Registered Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee
nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the
contrary. The Company, the Trustee, and any agent of the Company or the Trustee
may treat the holder of any Bearer Security or of any Coupon as the absolute
owner of such Bearer Security or Coupon for the purposes of receiving payment
thereof or on account thereof and for all other purposes

                                       53

<PAGE>

whatsoever, whether or not such Bearer Security or Coupon be overdue, and
neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or any Trustee
shall be affected by notice to the contrary. All payments made to any holder, or
upon his order, shall be valid, and, to the extent of the sum or sums paid,
effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability for moneys payable upon such
Security or Coupon.

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

Section 804. Revocation of Consents. At any time prior to (but not after) the
evidencing to the Trustee, as provided in Section 801, of the taking of any
action by the holders of the percentage in aggregate principal amount of the
Securities or of any series of Securities specified in this Indenture in
connection with such action, any holder of a Security which is shown by the
evidence to be included in the Securities the holders of which have consented to
such action may, by filing written notice with the Trustee at its principal
office and upon proof of holding as provided in Section 802, revoke such action
so far as concerns such Security. Except as aforesaid, any such action taken by
the holder of any Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such holder and
upon all future holders of such Security, and all past, present and future
holders of Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto and of any Securities and
Coupons issued on transfer or in lieu thereof or in exchange or substitution
therefor, irrespective of whether or not any notation in regard thereto is made
upon such Security or Coupons or such other Securities or Coupons or any
Security or Coupons issued in exchange or substitution therefor.

such series of such Securityholder's proxy shall be entitled to one vote for

represented by him; provided, however, that no vote shall be cast or counted at
any meeting in respect of any Security challenged as not Outstanding

                                       55

shall appoint two inspectors of votes who shall count all votes cast at the
meeting for or against any resolution and who shall make and file with the
secretary of the meeting their verified written reports in duplicate of all
votes cast at the meeting. A record in duplicate of the proceedings of each
meeting of Securityholders shall be prepared by the secretary of the meeting and
there shall be attached to said record the original reports of the inspectors of
votes on any vote by ballot taken thereat and affidavits by one or more Persons
having knowledge of the facts setting forth a copy of the notice of the meeting

                                 ARTICLE ELEVEN

                             CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE

Section 1101. Rights of Trustees; Compensation and Indemnity. The Trustee
accepts the trusts created by this Indenture upon the terms and conditions
hereof, including the following, to all of which the parties hereto and the
holders from time to time of the Securities agree:

      (a) The Trustee shall be entitled to such compensation as the Company and
the Trustee shall from time to time agree in writing 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), and such
compensation, as well as the reasonable compensation of its counsel, and all
other reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the
Trustee hereunder, the Company agrees to pay promptly on demand from time to
time as such services shall be rendered and as such expenses shall be incurred.
The Company also agrees to indemnify each of the Trustee and any predecessor
Trustee hereunder for, and to hold it harmless against, any and all loss,
liability, damage, claim, or expense incurred without its own negligence or bad
faith, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of
the trust or trusts hereunder and the performance of its duties, as well as the
costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim or liability in
connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties
hereunder. As security for the performance of the obligations of the Company
under this subdivision (a) the Trustee shall have a lien therefor on any moneys
held by the Trustee hereunder prior to any rights therein of the holders of the
Securities. Notwithstanding any provisions of this Indenture to the contrary,
the obligations of the Company to compensate and indemnify the Trustee under
this Section 1101(a) shall survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee and
any satisfaction and discharge under Article Twelve.

      When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of
Default specified in clause (e) or (f) of Section 7.01 occurs, the expenses and
compensation for the services are

                                       58
<PAGE>

intended to constitute expenses of administration under any applicable federal
or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws.

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

      (c) The Trustee shall not be responsible in any manner whatsoever for the
correctness of the recitals herein or in the Securities (except its certificates
of authentication thereon) contained, all of which are made solely by the
Company or the Guarantor; and the Trustee shall not be responsible or
accountable in any manner whatsoever for or with respect to the validity or
execution or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Securities (except its
certificates of authentication thereon), and the Trustee makes no representation
with respect thereto. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or
application by the Company of any Securities, or the proceeds of any Securities,
authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in conformity with the provisions of
this Indenture.

      (d) The Trustee may consult with counsel of its selection, and, to the
extent permitted by Section 1102, any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and
complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered
by the Trustee hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such Opinion of
Counsel.

      (e) The Trustee, to the extent permitted by Section 1102, may rely upon
the certificate of the Secretary or one of the Assistant Secretaries of the
Company or the Guarantor, as applicable, as to the adoption of any resolution by
the Board of Directors or stockholders of the Company or the Guarantor, and any
request, direction, order or demand of the Company or the Guarantor mentioned
herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by, and whenever in the administration of
this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or
established prior to taking, offering or omitting any action hereunder, the
Trustee may rely upon, an Officers' Certificate (unless other evidence in
respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed).

      (f) The Trustee or any agent of the Trustee, in its individual or any
other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and, subject to
Sections 310(b) and 311 of the Trust Indenture Act, may otherwise deal with each
of the Company and the Guarantor with the same rights it would have had if it
were not the Trustee or such agent.

      (g) 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.

      (h) Any action taken by the Trustee pursuant to any provision hereof at
the request or with the consent of any Person who at the time is the holder of
any Security shall be conclusive and binding in respect of such Security upon
all future holders thereof or of any Security or Securities which may be issued
for or in lieu thereof in whole or in part, whether or not such Security shall
have noted thereon the fact that such request or consent had been made or given.

                                       59
<PAGE>

      (i) Subject to the provisions of Section 1102, the Trustee may
conclusively rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting
upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report,
notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond, debenture or other paper or
document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by
the proper party or parties.

      (j) Subject to the provisions of Section 1102, the Trustee shall not be
under any obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by
this Indenture at the request, order or direction of any of the holders of the
Securities, pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, unless one or more of
the holders of the Securities shall have offered to the Trustee security or
indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities which
may be incurred by it therein or thereby.

      (k) Subject to the provisions of Section 1102, the Trustee shall not be
liable for any action taken or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to
be authorized or within its discretion or within the rights or powers conferred
upon it by this Indenture.

      (l) Subject to the provisions of the first paragraph of Section 1102, 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, consent, order, approval, bond, debenture or other paper or
document.

      (m) Subject to the provisions of Section 1102, the Trustee shall not be
deemed to have knowledge or notice of any Default or Event of Default unless a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless the
holders of not less than 25% of the Outstanding Securities notify the Trustee
thereof.

      (n) 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
at the sole cost of the Company and shall incur no liability or additional
liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation.

      (o) The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to
the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are
extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities
hereunder.

      (p) The Trustee may request that the Company deliver a certificate setting
forth the names of individuals and/or titles of officers authorized at such time
to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture.

Section 1102. Duties of Trustee.

      (a) If one or more of the Events of Default specified in Section 701 with
respect to the Securities of any series shall have happened, then, during the
continuance thereof, the

                                       60
<PAGE>

Trustee shall, with respect to such Securities, exercise such of the rights and
powers vested in it by this Indenture, and shall use the same degree of care and
skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the
circumstances in the conduct of such person's own affairs.

      (b) None of the provisions of this Indenture shall be construed as
relieving the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own
negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that, anything
in this Indenture contained to the contrary notwithstanding,

            (i) unless and until an Event of Default specified in Section 701
      with respect to the Securities of any series shall have happened which at
      the time is continuing,

                  (A) the Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only
            such duties with respect to the Securities of that series as are
            specifically set out in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or
            obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee,
            whose duties and obligations shall be determined solely by the
            express provisions of this Indenture; and

                  (B) the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the
            statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, in
            the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee, upon
            certificates and opinions furnished to it pursuant to the express
            provisions of this Indenture; but in the case of any such
            certificates or opinions which, by the provisions of this Indenture,
            are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the
            Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine
            whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture
            (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical
            calculations or other facts stated therein);

            (ii) the Trustee shall not be liable to any holder of Securities or
      to any other Person for any error of judgment made in good faith by a
      Responsible Officer or Officers of the Trustee, unless it shall be proved
      that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and

            (iii) the Trustee shall not be liable to any holder of Securities or
      to any other Person with respect to any action taken or omitted to be
      taken by it in good faith, in accordance with the direction of
      Securityholders given as provided in Section 706, relating to the time,
      method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to
      it or exercising any trust or power conferred upon it by this Indenture.

      (c) None of the provisions of this Indenture shall be construed as
requiring the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise to 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 there shall be reasonable grounds
for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such
risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

                                       61
<PAGE>

      (d) 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
1102.

Section 1103. Notice of Defaults. Within 90 days after the occurrence thereof,
the Trustee shall give to the holders of the Securities and Coupons of a series
notice of each Default with respect to the Securities or Coupons, if any, of
such series known to the Trustee, by transmitting such notice to holders at
their addresses as the same shall then appear on the Register of the Company,
unless such Default shall have been cured before the giving of such notice (the
term "Default" being hereby defined to be the events specified in Section 701,
which are, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, Events of
Default as defined in said Section); but, unless such Default be the failure to
pay the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any of the Securities or
Coupons, if any, of such series when and as the same shall become payable, or to
make any sinking fund payment as to Securities of the same series, the Trustee
shall be protected in withholding such notice, if and so long as the Board of
Directors, the executive committee or a trust committee of directors or
Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good faith determines that the
withholding of such notice is in the interests of the holders of the Securities
of such series.

Section 1104. Eligibility; Disqualification.

      (a) The Trustee shall at all times satisfy the requirements of TIA Section
310(a). The Trustee shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50
million as set forth in its more recent published annual report of condition,
and shall have its Corporate Trust Office or an agency in New York, New York;
provided, however, that if Section 310(a) of the Trust Indenture Act or the
rules and regulations of the Commission under the Trust Indenture Act at any
time permit a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of any
other jurisdiction to serve as trustee of an indenture qualified under the Trust
Indenture Act, this Section 1104 shall be automatically amended to permit a
corporation organized and doing business under the laws of any such other
jurisdiction to serve as Trustee hereunder. If such corporation publishes
reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements
of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of
this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be
deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent
report of condition so published. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be
eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, it shall resign
immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this
Article.

      (b) The Trustee shall comply with TIA Section 310(b); provided, however,
that there shall be excluded from the operation of TIA Section 310(b)(i) any
indenture or indentures under which other securities or certificates of interest
or participation in other securities of the Company or the Guarantor are
outstanding if the requirements for such exclusion set forth in TIA Section
310(b)(i) are met. If the Trustee has or shall acquire a conflicting interest
within the meaning of Section 310(b) 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. If Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act is amended any time
after the date of this Indenture to change the circumstances under which a
Trustee shall be deemed to have a conflicting interest with respect to the
Securities of any series

                                       62
<PAGE>

or to change any of the definitions in connection therewith, this Section 1104
shall be automatically amended to incorporate such changes.

Section 1105. Registration and Notice; Removal. The Trustee, or any successor to
it hereafter appointed, may at any time resign and be discharged of the trusts
hereby created with respect to any one or more or all series of Securities by
giving to the Company and to the Guarantor notice in writing and by mailing
notice thereof to the holders of Securities of such series at their addresses as
the same shall then appear in the Register of the Company. Such resignation
shall take effect upon the appointment of a successor Trustee and the acceptance
of such appointment by such successor Trustee. Any Trustee hereunder may be
removed with respect to any series of Securities at any time by the filing with
such Trustee and the delivery to the Company and to the Guarantor of an
instrument or instruments in writing signed by the holders of a majority in
principal amount of the Securities of such series then Outstanding, specifying
such removal and the date when it shall become effective.

      Upon its resignation or removal, any Trustee shall be entitled to the
payment of reasonable compensation for the services rendered hereunder by such
Trustee and to the payment of all reasonable expenses incurred hereunder and all
moneys then due to it hereunder. The Trustee's rights to indemnification
provided in Section 1101(a) shall survive its resignation or removal.

Section 1106. Successor Trustee by Appointment.

      (a) In case at any time the Trustee shall resign, or shall be removed
(unless the Trustee shall be removed as provided in Section 1104(b), in which
event the vacancy shall be filled as provided in said subdivision), or shall
become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or if
a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or if 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 with
respect to the Securities of one or more series, a successor Trustee 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 series) may be appointed by the holders of
a majority in principal amount of the Securities of that or those series then
Outstanding, by an instrument or instruments in writing signed in duplicate by
such holders and filed, one original thereof with the Company and the other with
the successor Trustee; but, until a successor Trustee shall have been so
appointed by the holders of Securities of that or those series as herein
authorized, the Company by a resolution of its Board of Directors, or, in case
all or substantially all the assets of the Company shall be in the possession of
one or more custodians or receivers lawfully appointed, or of trustees in
bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings (including a trustee or trustees
appointed under the provisions of the federal bankruptcy laws, as now or
hereafter constituted), or of assignees for the benefit of creditors, such
receivers, custodians, trustees or assignees, as the case may be, by an
instrument in writing, shall appoint a successor Trustee with respect to the
Securities of such series. Subject to the provisions of Sections 1104 and 1105,
upon the appointment as aforesaid of a successor Trustee with respect to the
Securities of any series, the Trustee with respect to the Securities of such
series shall cease to be Trustee hereunder. After any such appointment other
than by the holders of Securities of that or those series, the Person

                                       63
<PAGE>

making such appointment shall forthwith cause notice thereof to be mailed to the
holders of Securities of such series at their addresses as the same shall then
appear on the Register of the Company but any successor Trustee with respect to
the Securities of such series so appointed shall, immediately and without
further act, be superseded by a successor Trustee appointed by the holders of
Securities of such series in the manner above prescribed, if such appointment be
made prior to the expiration of one year from the date of the mailing of such
notice by the Company, or by such receivers, trustees or assignees.

      (b) If any Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more series
shall resign because of conflicting interest as provided in Section 1104(b) and
a successor Trustee shall not have been appointed by the Company or by the
holders of the Securities of such series or, if any successor Trustee so
appointed shall not have accepted its appointment within 30 days after such
appointment shall have been made, the resigning Trustee at the expense of the
Company may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of
a successor Trustee. If in any other case a successor Trustee shall not be
appointed pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 1106 within three
months after such appointment might have been made hereunder, the holder of any
Security of the applicable series or any retiring Trustee at the expense of the
Company may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor
Trustee. Such court may thereupon, in any such case, after such notice, if any,
as such court may deem proper and prescribe, appoint a successor Trustee.

      (c) Any successor Trustee appointed hereunder with respect to the
Securities of one or more series shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to its
predecessor Trustee and to the Company, or to the receivers, trustees, assignees
or court appointing it, as the case may be, an instrument accepting such
appointment hereunder, and thereupon such successor Trustee, without any further
act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the authority, rights,
powers, trusts, immunities, duties and obligations with respect to such series
of such predecessor Trustee with like effect as if originally named as Trustee
hereunder, and such predecessor Trustee, upon payment of its charges and
disbursements then unpaid, shall thereupon become obligated to pay over, and
such successor Trustee shall be entitled to receive, all moneys and properties
held by such predecessor Trustee as Trustee hereunder. Nevertheless, on the
written request of the Company or of the successor Trustee or of the holders of
at least 10% in principal amount of the Securities of such series then
Outstanding, such predecessor Trustee, upon payment of its said charges and
disbursements, shall execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such
successor Trustee upon the trusts herein expressed all the rights, powers and
trusts of such predecessor Trustee and shall assign, transfer and deliver to the
successor Trustee all moneys and properties held by such predecessor Trustee;
and, upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Company and the Guarantor
shall make, execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all instruments in writing
for more fully and effectually vesting in and confirming to such successor
Trustee all such authority, rights, powers, trusts, immunities, duties and
obligations.

Section 1107. Successor Trustee by Merger. Any corporation into which the
Trustee or any successor to it in the trusts created by this Indenture shall be
merged or converted, or any corporation with which it or any successor to it
shall be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion
or consolidation to which the Trustee or any such successor to it shall be a
party, or any corporation to which the Trustee or any successor to it

                                       64
<PAGE>

shall sell or otherwise transfer all or substantially all of the corporate trust
business of the Trustee, shall be the successor Trustee under this Indenture
without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of
any of the parties hereto; provided that such corporation shall be otherwise
qualified and eligible under this Article. In case at the time such successor to
the Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture with respect
to one or more series of Securities, any of such Securities shall have been
authenticated but not delivered by the Trustee then in office, any successor to
such Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor
Trustee, and deliver such Securities so authenticated; and in case at that time
any of the Securities shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the
Trustee may authenticate such Securities either in the name of any predecessor
hereunder or in the name of the successor Trustee; and in all such cases such
certificates shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the Securities or
in this Indenture provided that the certificate of the Trustee shall have;
provided, however, that the right to adopt the certificate of authentication of
any predecessor Trustee or authenticate Securities in the name of any
predecessor Trustee shall apply only to its successor or successors by merger,
conversion or consolidation.

Section 1108. Right to Rely on Officer's Certificate. Subject to Section 1102,
and subject to the provisions of Section 1702 with respect to the certificates
required thereby, whenever in the administration of the provisions of this
Indenture the Trustee shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be
proved or established prior to taking or suffering any action hereunder, such
matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically
prescribed) may, in the absence of negligence or bad faith on the part of the
Trustee, be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by an Officers'
Certificate with respect thereto delivered to the Trustee, and such Officers'
Certificate, in the absence of negligence or bad faith on the part of the
Trustee, shall be full warrant to the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or
omitted by it under the provisions of this Indenture upon the faith thereof.

Section 1109. Appointment of Authenticating Agent. The Trustee may appoint an
agent (the "Authenticating Agent") reasonably acceptable to the Company to
authenticate the Securities. Unless limited by the terms of such appointment,
any such Authenticating Agent may authenticate Securities whenever the Trustee
may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee
includes authentication by the Authenticating Agent.

Section 1110. Communications by Holders with Other Holders. Holders may
communicate pursuant to Section 312(b) of the Trust Indenture Act with other
holders with respect to their rights under this Indenture or the Securities. The
Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee, the Registrar and anyone else shall have
the protection of Section 312(c) of the Trust Indenture Act with respect to such
communications.

                                 ARTICLE TWELVE

                     SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE; DEFEASANCE

Section 1201. Applicability of Article. If, pursuant to Section 301, provision
is made for the defeasance of Securities of a series and if the Securities of
such series are Registered Securities and denominated and payable only in U.S.
Dollars (except as provided pursuant to Section 301), then the provisions of
this Article shall be applicable except as otherwise specified pursuant to

                                       65
<PAGE>

Section 301 for Securities of such series. Defeasance provisions, if any, for
Securities denominated in a Foreign Currency or for Bearer Securities may be

Section 1202. Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture. This Indenture, with
respect to the Securities of any series (if all series issued under this
Indenture are not to be affected), shall, upon Company Request, cease to be of
further effect (except as to any surviving rights of registration of transfer or
exchange of such Securities herein expressly provided for and rights to receive
payments of principal of and premium, if any, and interest on such Securities
and any right to receive additional interest as provided in Section 602) and the
Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments
acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, when,

      (a) either:

            (i) all Securities and the Coupons, if any, of such series
      theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than (i) Coupons
      appertaining to Bearer Securities of such series surrendered in exchange
      for Registered Securities of such series and maturing after such exchange,
      surrender of which is not required or has been waived as provided in
      Section 306, (ii) Securities and Coupons of such series that have been
      destroyed, lost or stolen and that have been replaced or paid as provided

      cancellation; or

            (ii) all Securities and the Coupons, if any, of such series not
      theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation,

                  (A) have become due and payable, or

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

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

      Securities are denominated (except as otherwise provided pursuant to
      Section 301) sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on
      such Securities for principal and premium, if any, and interest to the
      date of such deposit (in the case of Securities and Coupons that have
      become due and payable) or to the Stated Maturity or Redemption Date, as
      the case may be; provided, however, in the event a petition for relief
      under federal bankruptcy laws, as now or hereafter constituted,

                                       66
<PAGE>

      or any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other
      similar law, is filed with respect to the Company within 91 days after the
      deposit and the Trustee is required to return the moneys then on deposit
      with the Trustee to the Company, the obligations of the Company under this
      Indenture with respect to such Securities shall not be deemed terminated
      or discharged;

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

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

Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the
obligations of the Company to the Trustee under Section 1101 are, if money shall
have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (B) of clause (1) of
this Section, the obligations of the Trustee under Section 1207 and the last
paragraph of Section 604(e) shall survive.

Section 1203. Defeasance upon Deposit of Moneys or U.S Government Obligations.
At the Company's option, either (a) the Company shall be deemed to have been
Discharged (as defined below) from its obligations with respect to Securities of
any series on the first day after the applicable conditions set forth below have
been satisfied or (b) the Company shall cease to be under any obligation to
comply with any term, provision or condition set forth in Section 605 with
respect to Securities of any series (and, if so specified pursuant to Section
301, any other restrictive covenant added for the benefit of such series
pursuant to Section 301) at any time after the applicable conditions set forth
below have been satisfied:

      (a) The Company shall have deposited or caused to be deposited irrevocably
with the Paying Agent as trust funds in trust, specifically pledged as security
for, and dedicated solely to, the benefit of the holders of the Securities of
such series (i) money in an amount, or (ii) U.S. Government Obligations (as
defined below) that through the payment of interest and principal 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 (iii) a combination of
(i) and (ii), sufficient to pay and discharge each installment of principal
(including any mandatory sinking fund payments) of and premium, if any, and
interest on, the Outstanding Securities of such series on the dates such
installments of interest or principal and premium are due;

      (b) If the Securities of such series are then listed on the New York Stock
Exchange, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel
to the effect that the Company's exercise of its option under this Section would
not cause such Securities to be delisted;

      (c) No Event of Default or event (including such deposit) that, with
notice or lapse of time, or both, would become an Event of Default with respect
to the Securities of such series shall have occurred and be continuing on the
date of such deposit; and

      (d) The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel
to the effect that holders of the Securities of such series will not recognize
income, gain or loss for U.S.

                                       67
<PAGE>

federal income tax purposes as a result of the Company's exercise of its option
under this Section and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts
and in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such
action had not been exercised and, in the case of the Securities of such series
being Discharged accompanied by a ruling to that effect received from or
published by the Internal Revenue Service.

            "Discharged" means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and
discharged the entire indebtedness represented by, and obligations under, the
Securities of such series and to have satisfied all the obligations under this
Indenture relating to the Securities of such series (and the Trustee, at the
expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the
same), except (A) the rights of holders of Securities of such series to receive,
from the trust fund described in clause (a) above, payment of the principal of
and premium, if any, and interest on such Securities when such payments are due,
(B) the Company's obligations with respect to Securities of such series under
Sections 304, 306, 307, 603, 1206 and 1207 and (C) the rights, powers, trusts,
duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder.

            "U.S. Government Obligations" means securities that are (i) direct
obligations of the United States for the payment of which its full faith and
credit is pledged or (ii) obligations of a Person controlled or supervised by
and acting as an agency or instrumentality of the United States the timely of
payment of which is unconditionally guaranteed as a full faith and credit
obligation by the United States, that, in either case under clauses (i) or (ii)
are not callable or redeemable at the action of the issuer thereof, and shall
also include a depositary receipt issued by a bank or trust company as custodian
with respect to any such U.S. Government Obligation or a specific payment of
interest on or principal of any such U.S. Government Obligation held by such
custodian for the account of the holder of a depositary receipt; 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 interest on or principal of the U.S.
Government Obligation evidenced by such depositary receipt.

Section 1204. Repayment to Company. The Trustee and any Paying Agent shall
promptly pay to the Company (or to its designee) upon Company Request any excess
moneys or U.S. Government Obligations held by them at any time, including any
such moneys or obligations held by the Trustee under any escrow trust agreement
entered into pursuant to Section 1206. The provisions of the last paragraph of
Section 604 shall apply to any money held by the Trustee or any Paying Agent
under this Article that remains unclaimed for two years after the Maturity of
any series of Securities for which money or U.S. Government Obligations have
been deposited pursuant to Section 1203.

Section 1205. Indemnity for U.S. Government Obligations. The Company shall pay
and shall indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on
or assessed against the deposited U.S. Government Obligations or the principal
or interest received on such U.S. Government Obligations.

Section 1206. Deposits to Be Held in Escrow. Any deposits with the Paying Agent
referred to in Section 1203 above shall be irrevocable (except to the extent
provided in Sections 1204 and 1207) and shall be made under the terms of an
escrow trust agreement in form and substance

                                       68
<PAGE>

satisfactory to the Trustee. If any Outstanding Securities of a series are to be
redeemed prior to their Stated Maturity, whether pursuant to any optional
redemption provisions or in accordance with any mandatory or optional sinking
fund requirement, the applicable escrow trust agreement shall provide therefor
and the Company shall make such arrangements as are satisfactory to the Trustee
for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the
expense, of the Company. The agreement shall provide that, upon satisfaction of
any mandatory sinking fund payment requirements, whether by deposit of moneys,
application of proceeds of deposited U.S. Government Obligations or, if
permitted, by delivery of Securities, the Trustee shall pay or deliver over to
the Company as excess moneys pursuant to Section 1204 all funds or obligations
then held under the agreement and allocable to the sinking fund payment
requirements so satisfied.

      If Securities of a series with respect to which such deposits are made may
be subject to later redemption at the option of the Company or pursuant to
optional sinking fund payments, the applicable escrow trust agreement may, at
the option of the Company, provide therefor. In the case of an optional
redemption in whole or in part, such agreement shall require the Company to
deposit with the Trustee on or before the date notice of redemption is given
funds sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of the Securities to be redeemed
together with all unpaid interest thereon to the Redemption Date. Upon such
deposit of funds, the Trustee shall pay or deliver over to the Company as excess
funds pursuant to Section 1204 all funds or obligations then held under such
agreement and allocable to the Securities to be redeemed. In the case of
exercise of optional sinking fund payment rights by the Company, such agreement
shall, at the option of the Company, provide that upon deposit by the Company
with the Trustee of funds pursuant to such exercise the Trustee shall pay or
deliver over to the Company as excess funds pursuant to Section 1204 all funds
or obligations then held under such agreement for such series and allocable to
the Securities to be redeemed.

Section 1207. Application of Trust Money.

      (a) Neither the Trustee nor any other paying agent shall be required to
pay interest on any moneys deposited pursuant to the provisions of this
Indenture, except such as it shall agree with the Company to pay thereon. Any
moneys so deposited for the payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or
interest on the Securities of any series and remaining unclaimed for two years
after the date of the maturity of the Securities of such series or the date
fixed for the redemption of all the Securities of such series at the time
outstanding, as the case may be, shall be repaid by the Trustee or such other
paying agent to the Company upon its written request and thereafter, anything in
this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, any rights of the holders of
Securities of such series in respect of which such moneys shall have been
deposited shall be enforceable only against the Company, and all liability of
the Trustee or such other paying agent with respect to such moneys shall
thereafter cease.

      (b) Subject to the provisions of the foregoing paragraph, any moneys which
at any time shall be deposited by the Company or on its behalf with the Trustee
or any other paying agent for the purpose of paying the principal of, premium,
if any, and interest on any of the Securities shall be and are hereby assigned,
transferred and set over to the Trustee or such other paying agent in trust for
the respective holders of the Securities for the purpose for which such

                                       69
<PAGE>

moneys shall have been deposited; but such moneys need not be segregated from
other funds except to the extent required by law.

                                       70
<PAGE>

Section 1208. Deposits of Non-U.S. Currencies. Notwithstanding the foregoing
provisions of this Article, if the Securities of any series are payable in a
Currency other than U.S. Dollars, the Currency or the nature of the government
obligations to be deposited with the Trustee under the foregoing provisions of
this Article shall be as set forth in the Officers' Certificate or established
in the supplemental indenture under which the Securities of such series are
issued.

Section 1209. Subordination Provisions Inapplicable. Notwithstanding anything
contained herein to the contrary, any money that shall have been deposited by
the Company or the Guarantor with the Trustee pursuant to this Article shall not
be subject to the provisions of Article Sixteen of this Indenture respecting
subordination of the Securities; provided, however, that said provisions
respecting subordination shall continue to apply to such money, if any, that has
been returned to the Company, the Guarantor or their respective legal
representative pursuant to an order or judgment of a court or governmental
authority but only to the extent that all obligations of the Company or the
Guarantor under this Indenture, the Securities and any Coupons shall be in full
force and effect.

                                ARTICLE THIRTEEN

                           IMMUNITY OF CERTAIN PERSONS

Section 1301. No Personal Liability. No recourse shall be had for the payment of
the principal of, or the premium, if any, or interest on, any Security or Coupon
or for any claim based thereon or otherwise in respect thereof or of the
indebtedness represented thereby, or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement
of this Indenture, against any incorporator, stockholder, officer or director,
as such, past, present or future, of the Company, the Guarantor or of any
successor corporation, either directly or through the Company, the Guarantor or
any successor corporation, whether by virtue of any constitutional provision,
statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or
otherwise; it being expressly agreed and understood that this Indenture, the
Securities and the Guarantee endorsed thereon are solely corporate obligations,
and that no personal liability whatsoever shall attach to, or be incurred by,
any incorporator, stockholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or
future, of the Company, the Guarantor or of any successor corporation, either
directly or through the Company, the Guarantor or any successor corporation,
because of the incurring of the indebtedness hereby authorized or under or by
reason of any of the obligations, covenants, promises or agreements contained in
this Indenture or in any of the Securities or Coupons or the Guarantee endorsed
thereon, or to be implied herefrom or therefrom, and that all liability, if any,
of that character against every such incorporator, stockholder, officer and
director is, by the acceptance of the Securities and the Guarantee endorsed
thereon and as a condition of, and as part of the consideration for, the
execution of this Indenture and the issue of the Securities expressly waived and
released.

time, enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for the purpose
of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any
provisions of this Indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the

no such supplemental indenture shall, without the consent of the holder of each
Outstanding Security of each such series affected thereby,

            (i) extend the Stated Maturity of the principal of, or any
      installment of interest on, any Security, or reduce the principal amount
      thereof or the interest thereon or

                                       73

      amount of the principal of an Original Issue Discount Security that would
      be due and payable upon a declaration of acceleration of the Maturity
      thereof pursuant to Section 702, or impair the right to institute suit for
      the enforcement of any payment on or after the Stated Maturity thereof
      (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date), or
      change any obligation of the Company to pay additional interest pursuant
      to Section 602 (except as contemplated by Section 605(b) and permitted by

            (ii) reduce the percentage in principal amount of the Outstanding
      Securities of any series, the consent of whose holders is required for any
      supplemental indenture, or the consent of whose holders is required for
      any waiver of compliance with certain provisions of this Indenture or
      certain Defaults hereunder and their consequences provided for in this
      Indenture; or

      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 608, or the deletion of this proviso, in accordance with the
      requirements of Sections 1106 and 1401(f); or

            (iv) modify, without the written consent of the Trustee, the rights,
      duties or immunities of the Trustee.

      (b) A supplemental indenture that changes or eliminates any provision of
this Indenture which has expressly been included solely for the benefit of one
or more particular series of Securities and Coupons, if any, or which modifies
the rights of the holders of Securities and Coupons, if any, 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 and Coupons, if any, of
any other series.

      (c) It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Securityholders under
this Section 402 to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental
indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the
substance thereof.

      (d) The Company may set a record date for purposes of determining the
identity of the holders of each series of Securities entitled to give a written
consent or waive compliance by the Company or the Guarantor as authorized or
permitted by this Section. Such record date shall not be more than 30 days prior
to the first solicitation of such consent or waiver or the date of the

Trustee of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Section
402, the Company shall mail a notice, setting forth in general terms the
substance of such supplemental indenture, to the holders of Securities at their
addresses as the same shall then appear in the Register of the Company. Any
failure of the Company to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not,
however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental
indenture.

Indenture contained in any such supplemental indenture may be prepared and
executed by the Company and authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in

outstanding unless each holder of such Senior Indebtedness has consented thereto
in writing.

"Guarantee") to the holders all payments on the Securities when due, in
accordance with the provisions of this Indenture, as provided below.

      (b) The Guarantor hereby waives notice of acceptance of the Guarantee and
of Default of performance by the Company, and hereby agrees that payment under
the Guarantee shall be subject to no condition other than the giving of a
written request for payment, stating the fact of Default of performance, in the
manner provided in Section 1708. This Guarantee is a guarantee of payment and
not of collection.

                                       76
<PAGE>

      (c) The obligations of the Guarantor under the Guarantee shall in no way
be impaired by: (1) any extension, amendment, modification or renewal of the
Securities; (2) any waiver of any Event of Default, extension of time or failure
to enforce any of the Securities; or (3) any extension, moratorium or other
relief granted to the Company pursuant to any applicable law or statute.

      (d) The Guarantor shall be obligated to make payment under the Guarantee,
for the benefit of the holders, at the same address as the Company is obligated
to make payment.

      (e) Subject to clause (f) below, the Guarantor hereby agrees that:

            (i) the Securities will be paid strictly in accordance with the
      terms of this Indenture, regardless of the value, genuineness, validity,
      regularity or enforceability of the Securities, and of any law, regulation
      or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of
      such terms or the rights of the trustee with respect thereto; and

            (ii) the liability of the Guarantor to the extent herein set forth
      shall be absolute and unconditional, not subject to any reduction,
      limitation, impairment, termination, defense, offset, counterclaim or
      recoupment whatsoever (all of which are hereby expressly waived by the
      Guarantor) whether by reason of any claim of any character whatsoever,
      including, without limitation, any claim of waiver, release, surrender,
      alteration or compromise, or by reason of any liability at any time to the
      Guarantor or otherwise, whether based upon any obligations or any other
      agreement or otherwise, and howsoever arising, whether out of action or
      inaction or otherwise and whether resulting from Default, willful
      misconduct, negligence or otherwise, and without limiting the foregoing,
      irrespective of:

                  (A) any lack of validity or enforceability of any agreement or
            instrument relating to the Securities;

                  (B) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or
            in any other term in respect of, all or any of the Securities, or
            any other amendment or waiver of or consent to any departure from
            any other agreement relating to any Securities; any change in the
            time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term in respect
            of, all or any of the Securities, or any other amendment or waiver
            of or consent to any departure from any other agreement relating to
            any Securities;

                  (C) any increase in, addition to, exchange or release of, or
            nonperfection of any lien on or security interest in, any
            collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to
            any departure from or failure to enforce any other guarantee, for
            all or any of the indebtedness;

                  (D) any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a
            defense available to, or a discharge of, the Company in respect of
            the Securities;

                                       77
<PAGE>

                  (E) the absence of any action on the part of the Trustee to
            obtain payment of the Securities from the Company;

                  (F) any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or dissolution,
            or any similar proceeding of the Company, including, without
            limitation, rejection of the Securities in such bankruptcy; or

                  (G) the absence of notice or any delay in any action to
            enforce any Securities or to exercise any right or remedy against
            the Guarantor or the Company, whether hereunder, under any
            Securities or any agreement or any indulgence, compromise or
            extension granted.

      (f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Guarantee, the
Guarantor does not waive any defense that would be available to the Company
based on a breach, default or misrepresentation by the Trustee, or failure of
any condition to the Company's obligations under this Indenture or the
illegality of any provision of this Indenture.

      (g) The Guarantor further agrees that, to the extent that the Company or
the Guarantor makes a payment or payments to the Trustee, which payment or
payments or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be
fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to the
Company or the Guarantor or their respective estate, trustee, receiver or any
other party under any federal bankruptcy laws, state or federal law, common law
or equitable cause, then to the extent of such payment or repayment, this
Guarantee and the advances or part thereof which have been paid, reduced or
satisfied by such amount shall be reinstated and continued in full force and
effect as of the date such initial payment, reduction or satisfaction occurred.

Section 1502. Execution and Delivery of Guarantee.

      (a) If an officer whose signature is on this Indenture or the Guarantee no
longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Security on
which the Guarantee is endorsed or at any time thereafter, the Guarantee shall
be valid nevertheless.

      (b) The delivery of any Security by the Trustee, after the authentication
thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of the Guarantee set forth in
this Indenture on behalf of the Guarantor.

                                       78
<PAGE>

Section 1503. Waiver of Subrogation. The Guarantor shall be subrogated to all
rights of the holders of Securities and the Trustee against the Company in
respect of any amounts paid to such holders by the Guarantor pursuant to the
provisions of the Guarantee; provided, however, that the Guarantor shall not be
entitled to enforce, or to receive any payments arising out of or based upon
such right of subrogation until the principal of, interest on and additional
interest, if any, payable in respect of all Securities of the same series issued
under such Indenture shall have been paid in full.

Section 1504. Limitation on Liens.

      (a) The Guarantor will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, incur,
issue, assume or guarantee any Indebtedness if such Indebtedness is secured by a
pledge of, lien on, or security interest in any shares of Voting Stock of any
Significant Subsidiary, whether such Voting Stock is now owned or shall
hereafter be acquired, without effectively providing that the Securities
(together with, if the Guarantor shall so determine, any other indebtedness or
obligations of the Guarantor or any Subsidiary ranking equally with such
Securities and then existing or thereafter created) shall be secured equally and
ratably with such Indebtedness. For the purposes of the foregoing, pledging,
placing a lien on or creating a security interest in any shares of Voting Stock
of a Significant Subsidiary in order to secure then Outstanding Indebtedness of
the Guarantor or any Subsidiary shall be deemed to be the incurrence, issuance,
assumption or guarantee (as the case may be) of such Indebtedness, but the
foregoing shall not apply to Indebtedness secured by a pledge of, lien on or
security interest in any shares of Voting Stock of any corporation at the time
it becomes a Significant Subsidiary, including extensions, renewals and
replacements of such Indebtedness without increase in the amount thereof.

      (b) For the purposes of subsection (a) of this Section 1504, the term
"Voting Stock" shall mean capital stock the holders of which have general voting
power under ordinary circumstances to elect a majority of the board of directors
of a corporation, provided that, for the purposes hereof, capital stock which
carries only the right to vote conditioned on the happening of an event shall
not be considered voting stock whether or not such event shall have happened.

      (c) For the purposes of subsection (a) of this Section 1504, the term
"Significant Subsidiary" shall mean a Subsidiary, including its Subsidiaries,
which meets any of the following conditions:

            (i) The Guarantor's and its Subsidiaries' investments in and
      advances to the Subsidiary exceed 10 percent of the total assets of the
      Guarantor and its Subsidiaries consolidated as of the end of the most
      recently completed fiscal year;

            (ii) The Guarantor's and its Subsidiaries' proportionate share of
      the total assets (after inter-company eliminations) of the Subsidiary
      exceeds 10 percent of the total assets of the Guarantor and its
      Subsidiaries consolidated as of the end of the most recently completed
      fiscal year; or

            (iii) The Guarantor's and its Subsidiaries' equity in the income
      from continuing operations before income taxes, extraordinary items and
      cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle of the Subsidiary
      exceeds 10 percent of such income of

                                       79
<PAGE>

      the Guarantor and its Subsidiaries consolidated for the most recently
      completed fiscal year.

      (d) For the purposes of making the prescribed income test in clause (iii)
of subsection (c) of this Section 1504, the following shall be applicable:

            (i) When a loss has been incurred by either the Guarantor and its
      Subsidiaries consolidated or the tested Subsidiary, but not both, the
      equity in the income or loss of the tested Subsidiary shall be excluded
      from the income of the Guarantor and its Subsidiaries consolidated for
      purposes of the computation; and

            (ii) If income of the Guarantor and its Subsidiaries consolidated
      for the most recent fiscal year is at least 10 percent lower than the
      average of the income for the last five fiscal years, such average income
      shall be substituted for purposes of the computation. Any loss years shall
      be omitted for purposes of computing average income.

Section 1505. Merger, Consolidation and Sale of Assets.

      (a) The Guarantor will not consolidate with any other entity or accept a
merger of any other entity into the Guarantor or permit the Guarantor to be
merged into any other entity, or sell other than for cash or lease all or
substantially all its assets to another entity, or purchase all or substantially
all the assets of another entity, unless (i) either the Guarantor shall be the
continuing entity, or the successor, transferee or lessee entity (if other than
the Guarantor) shall expressly assume, by indenture supplemental hereto
satisfactory to the Trustee, executed and delivered by such entity prior to or
simultaneously with such consolidation, merger, sale or lease, the full,
irrevocable and unconditional guarantee of the payment of principal of and
interest and premium, if any, on all the Securities (and Coupons, if any) when
due, and the performance and observance of all other obligations of the Company
to the holders and the Trustee under this Indenture or under the Securities (and
Coupons, if any), all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and (ii)
immediately after such consolidation, merger, sale, lease or purchase the
Guarantor or the successor, transferee or lessee entity (if other than the
Guarantor) would not be in Default in the performance of any covenant or
condition of this Indenture. A purchase by a Subsidiary of all or substantially
all of the assets of another entity shall not be deemed to be a purchase of such
assets by the Guarantor.

      (b) Upon any consolidation with or merger into any other entity, or any
sale, conveyance or lease of all or substantially all of the assets of the
Guarantor in accordance with this Section 1505, the successor entity formed by
such consolidation or into or with which the Guarantor is merged or to which
such conveyance, transfer or lease is made shall succeed to, and be substituted
for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Guarantor under this
Indenture with the same effect as if such successor entity had been named as the
Guarantor herein, and thereafter, except in the case of a lease, the predecessor
Guarantor shall be relieved of all obligations and covenants under the
Guarantee.

Section 1506. Assumption by Guarantor.

      (a) The Guarantor may, without the consent of the holders, assume all of
the rights and obligations of the Company hereunder with respect to a series of
Securities and under the

                                       80
<PAGE>

Securities of such series if, after giving effect to such assumption, no Event
of Default or event which with the giving of notice or lapse of time, or both,
would become an Event of Default, shall have occurred and shall be continuing.
Upon such an assumption, the Guarantor shall execute a supplemental indenture
evidencing its assumption of all such rights and obligations of the Company and
the Company shall be released from its liabilities hereunder and under such
Securities as obligor on the Securities of such series.

      (b) The Guarantor shall assume all of the rights and obligations of the
Company hereunder with respect to a series of Securities and under the
Securities of such series, if, upon a Default by the Company in the due and
punctual payment of the principal, sinking fund payment, if any, premium, if
any, or interest on such Securities, the Guarantor is prevented by any court
order or judicial proceeding from fulfilling its obligations under Section 1501
with respect to such series of Securities. Such assumption shall result in the
Securities of such series becoming the direct obligations of the Guarantor and
shall be effected without the consent of the holders of the Securities of any
series. Upon such an assumption, the Guarantor shall execute a supplemental
indenture evidencing its assumption of all such rights and obligations of the
Company, and the Company shall be released from its liabilities hereunder and
under such Securities as obligor on the Securities of such series.

Section 1507. Article Fifteen Applicable to Paying Agent. At any time that a
Paying Agent other than the Trustee shall have been appointed by the Company and
be then acting hereunder, the term "Trustee" as used in this Article Fifteen
shall in such case (unless the context otherwise requires) be construed as
extending to and including such Paying Agent within its meaning as fully for all
intents and purposes as if such Paying Agent were named in this Article Fifteen

Event of Default (other than a Default in the payment of principal, premium, if
any, or interest, or other monetary amounts due and payable) in respect of any
Senior Indebtedness, as defined therein or in the instrument under which the
same is outstanding, permitting the holder or holders thereof to accelerate the

            (i) the holders of all Senior Indebtedness shall first be entitled
      to receive payment of the full amount due thereon, or provision shall be
      made for such payment in money or money's worth, before the holders of any
      of the Securities or Coupons are entitled to receive a payment on account
      of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest on the indebtedness
      evidenced by the Securities or of the Coupons;

            (ii) any payment by, or distribution of assets of, the Company or
      the Guarantor of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or
      securities (other than securities of the Company or the Guarantor as
      reorganized or readjusted or securities of the Company, the Guarantor or
      any other entity provided for by a plan of reorganization or readjustment,
      the payment of which is subordinate, at least to the extent provided in
      this Article with respect to the Securities and Coupons, to the payment of
      all Senior Indebtedness, provided that the rights of the holders of the
      Senior Indebtedness are not altered by such reorganization or
      readjustment), to which the holders of any of the Securities or Coupons or
      the Trustee would be entitled except for the provisions of this Article
      shall be paid or delivered by the person making such payment or
      distribution, whether a trustee in bankruptcy, a receiver or liquidating
      trustee or otherwise, directly to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness
      or their representative or representatives or to the trustee or trustees
      under any Indenture under which any instruments evidencing any of such
      Senior Indebtedness may have been issued, ratably according to the
      aggregate amounts remaining unpaid on account of such Senior Indebtedness
      held or represented by each, to the extent necessary to make payment in
      full of all Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid after giving effect to
      any concurrent payment or distribution (or provision therefor) to the
      holders of such Senior Indebtedness, before any payment or distribution is
      made to the holders of the indebtedness evidenced by the Securities or of
      the Coupons or to the Trustee under this Indenture; and

            (iii) in the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment
      by, or distribution of assets of, the Company or the Guarantor of any kind
      or character, whether in cash, property or securities (other than
      securities of the Company or the Guarantor as reorganized or readjusted or
      securities of the Company, the Guarantor or any other corporation provided
      for by a plan of reorganization or readjustment, the payment of

                                       82
<PAGE>

      which is subordinate, at least to the extent provided in this Article with
      respect to the Securities and Coupons, to the payment of all Senior
      Indebtedness, provided that the rights of the holders of Senior
      Indebtedness are not altered by such reorganization or readjustment),
      shall be received by the Trustee or the holders of any of the Securities
      or Coupons before all Senior Indebtedness is paid in full, or provision
      made for such payment in money or money's worth, such payment or
      distribution shall be paid over to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness
      or their representative or representatives or to the trustee or trustees
      under any indenture under which any instruments evidencing any such Senior
      Indebtedness may have been issued, ratably as aforesaid, for application
      to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid until all such
      Senior Indebtedness shall have been paid in full, after giving effect to
      any concurrent payment or distribution (or provision therefor) to the
      holders of such Senior Indebtedness.

Section 1602. Disputes with Holders of Certain Senior Indebtedness. Any failure
by the Company or the Guarantor to make any payment on or perform any other
obligation under Senior Indebtedness, other than any indebtedness incurred by
the Company or the Guarantor or assumed or guaranteed, directly or indirectly,
by the Company or the Guarantor for money borrowed (or any deferral, renewal,
extension or refunding thereof) or any indebtedness or obligation as to which
the provisions of this Section shall have been waived by the Company or the
Guarantor in the instrument or instruments by which the Company or the Guarantor
incurred, assumed, guaranteed or otherwise created such indebtedness or
obligation, shall not be deemed a Default or Event of Default under Section
1601(b) for so long as (a) the Company or the Guarantor, as applicable, shall be
disputing its obligation to make such payment or perform such obligation and (b)
either (A) such dispute shall not have resulted in a judgment against the
Company or the Guarantor, as applicable, and shall have remained undischarged or
unbonded and have remained in force for more than the applicable appeal period
or (B) in the event of such a judgment, the Company or the Guarantor, as
applicable, shall in good faith be prosecuting an appeal or other proceeding for
review and upon which a stay of execution shall have been obtained pending such
appeal or review.

Indebtedness, the holders of the Securities and any Coupons shall be subrogated
to the rights of the holders of Senior Indebtedness to receive payments or
distributions of cash, property or securities of the Company or the Guarantor
applicable to the Senior Indebtedness until all amounts owing on the Securities
and any Coupons shall be paid in full, and as between the Company, the
Guarantor, their respective creditors other than holders of such Senior
Indebtedness and the holders, no such payment or distribution made to the
holders of Senior Indebtedness by virtue of this Article that otherwise would
have been made to the holders shall be deemed to be a payment by the Company or
the Guarantor on account of such Senior Indebtedness, it being understood that
the provisions of this Article are and are intended solely for the purpose of
defining the relative rights of the holders, on the one hand, and the holders of
Senior Indebtedness, on the other hand.

Section 1604. Obligation of Company and the Guarantor Unconditional.

      (a) Nothing contained in this Article or elsewhere in this Indenture or in
the Securities or any Coupons is intended to or shall impair, as between the
Company, the Guarantor, their respective creditors other than the holders of
Senior Indebtedness and the

                                       83
<PAGE>

holders, the obligation of the Company or the Guarantor, as applicable, which is
absolute and unconditional, to pay to the holders the principal of and premium,
if any, and interest on the Securities and the amounts owed pursuant to any
Coupons as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with
their terms, or is intended to or shall affect the relative rights of the
creditors of the Company or the Guarantor other than the holders of Senior
Indebtedness, nor shall anything herein or therein prevent the Trustee or any
holder from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon
Default under this Indenture, subject to the rights, if any, under this Article
of the holders of Senior Indebtedness in respect of cash, property or securities
of the Company or the Guarantor received upon the exercise of any such remedy.

referred to in this Article, the Trustee and the holders shall be entitled to
rely upon any order or decree made by any court of competent jurisdiction in
which any such dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization proceeding
affecting the affairs of the Company or the Guarantor is pending or upon a
certificate of the trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, assignee for the benefit of
creditors, liquidating trustee or agent or other person making any payment or
distribution, delivered to the Trustee or to the holders, for the purpose of
ascertaining the persons entitled to participate in such payment or
distribution, the holders of the Senior Indebtedness and other indebtedness of
the Company or the Guarantor, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount
paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this
Article.

Section 1605. Payments on Securities and Coupons Permitted. Nothing contained in
this Article or elsewhere in this Indenture or in the Securities or Coupons
shall affect the obligation of the Company to make, or prevent the Company or
the Guarantor from making, payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or
interest on the Securities and of any Coupons in accordance with the provisions
hereof and thereof, except as otherwise provided in this Article.

Section 1606. Effectuation of Subordination by Trustee. Each holder of
Securities or Coupons, by his acceptance thereof, authorizes and directs the
Trustee on his behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to
effectuate the subordination provided in this Article and appoints the Trustee
his attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes.

Section 1607. Knowledge of Trustee. Notwithstanding the provisions of this
Article or any other provisions of this Indenture, the Trustee shall not be
charged with knowledge of the existence of any facts that would prohibit the
making of any payment of moneys to or by the Trustee, or the taking of any other
action by the Trustee, unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee
shall have received written notice thereof mailed or delivered to the Trustee at
its Corporate Trust Office from the Company, any holder, any Paying Agent or the
holder or representative of any class of Senior Indebtedness; provided that if
at least three Business Days prior to the date upon which by the terms hereof
any such moneys may become payable for any purpose (including, without
limitation, the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest on
any Security or of any Coupon) the Trustee shall not have received with respect
to such moneys the notice provided for in this Section, then, anything herein
contained to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall have full power and
authority to receive such moneys and to apply the same to the purpose for which
they were received and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary that
may be received by it within three Business Days prior to or on or after such
date. Section 1608. Trustee May Hold Senior Indebtedness. The Trustee shall be
entitled to all the rights set forth in this Article with respect to any Senior
Indebtedness at the time held by it, to the same extent as any other holder of

      (a) No right of any present or future holder of any Senior Indebtedness to
enforce the subordination herein shall at any time or in any way be prejudiced
or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of the Company or the
Guarantor or by any noncompliance by the Company or the Guarantor with the
terms, provisions and covenants of this Indenture, regardless of any knowledge
thereof any such holder may have or be otherwise charged with.

      (b) With respect to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, (i) the duties and
obligations of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions
of this Indenture, (ii) the Trustee shall not be liable except for the
performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this
Indenture, (iii) no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this
Indenture against the Trustee and (iv) the Trustee shall not be deemed to be a
fiduciary as to such holders.

Paying Agent other than the Trustee shall have been appointed by the Company and
be then acting hereunder, the term "Trustee" as used in this Article shall in
such case (unless the context shall require otherwise) be construed as extending
to and including such Paying Agent within its meaning as fully for all intents
and purposes as if such Paying Agent were named in this Article in addition to
or in place of the Trustee, provided, however, that Sections 1607 and 1608 shall
not apply to the Company or the Guarantor if either acts as its own Paying
Agent.

lease by the Company or the Guarantor of their respective property and assets
as, or substantially as, an entirety, or otherwise.

entity formed by such consolidation or into which the Company or the Guarantor
shall have been merged or to which such sale or lease shall have been made shall
succeed to and be substituted for the Company or the Guarantor, as applicable,
with the same effect as if it had been named herein as a party hereto, and
thereafter from time to time such entity may exercise each and every right and
power of the Company or the Guarantor, as applicable, under this Indenture, in
the name of the Company or the Guarantor, or in its own name; and any act or
proceeding by any provision of this Indenture required or permitted to be done
by the Board of Directors or any officer of the Company or the Guarantor may be
done with like force and effect by the like board or officer of any entity that
shall at the time be the successor of the Company or the Guarantor hereunder. In
the event of any such sale or conveyance, but not any such lease, the Company or
the Guarantor (or any successor entity which shall theretofore have become such
in the manner described in Sections 605 and 1505, as applicable) shall be
discharged from all obligations and covenants under this Indenture and the
Securities and may thereupon be dissolved and liquidated.

<PAGE>

with, except that in the case of any such application or demand as to which the
furnishing of such document is specifically required by any provision of this
Indenture relating to such particular application or demand, no additional
certificate or opinion need be furnished.

Guarantor, unless such counsel knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care
should know, that the certificate, statement or opinion or representations with
respect to such matters are erroneous.

      (d) Any certificate, statement or opinion of an officer of the Company,
the Guarantor or of counsel to the Company or the Guarantor may be based,
insofar as it relates to accounting matters, upon a certificate or opinion of,
or representations by, an accountant or firm of accountants, unless such officer
or counsel, as the case may be, knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care
should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to
the accounting matters upon which his or her certificate, statement or opinion
may be based are erroneous. Any certificate or opinion of any firm of
independent registered public accountants filed with the Trustee shall contain a
statement that such firm is independent.

      (e) In any case where several matters are required to be certified by, or
covered by an opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all
such matters be certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such
Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but one
such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one
or more other such Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify
or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents.

      (f) Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more

<PAGE>

      (c) In the event of suspension of regular mail service or by reason of any
other cause it shall be impracticable to give notice by mail, then such

      (e) 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

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 on such waiver. 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, and any notice that is mailed in the manner herein
provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given. In any case
where notice to holders is given by publication, any defect in any notice so
published as to any particular holder shall not affect the sufficiency of such

and effect as if made on such Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Maturity
