equal and proportionate benefit of all Holders of the Securities or of series
thereof appertaining, as follows:

                                   ARTICLE 1.

             DEFINITIONS AND OTHER PROVISIONS OF GENERAL APPLICATION

SECTION 1.1. DEFINITIONS.

      For all purposes of this Indenture, except as otherwise expressly provided
or unless the context otherwise requires:

            (1) the terms defined in this Article have the meanings assigned to
      them in this Article and include the plural as well as the singular;

            (2) all other terms used herein which are defined in the Trust
      Indenture Act, either directly or by reference therein, have the meanings

      required or permitted hereunder shall mean such accounting principles as
      are generally accepted at the date of such computation;

            (4) unless the context otherwise requires, any reference to an
      "Article" or a "Section" refers to an Article or a Section, as the case
      may be, of this Indenture; and
<PAGE>
            (5) the words "herein," "hereof" and "hereunder" and other words of
      similar import refer to this Indenture as a whole and not to any
      particular Article, Section or other subdivision.

      "Act," when used with respect to any Holder, has the meaning specified in
Section 1.4.

      "Affiliate" of any specified Person means any other Person directly or
indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common

"control" when used with respect to any specified Person means the power to
direct the management and policies of such Person, directly or indirectly,
whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise;
and the terms "controlling" and "controlled" have meanings correlative to the

of rent required to be paid under such lease during the remaining term thereof
(including any period for which such lease has been extended), discounted at the
rate of interest set forth or implicit in the terms of such lease (or, if not
practicable to determine such rate, the rate of interest borne by the
Securities, or in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities, the imputed
interest rate) compounded semi-annually. In the case of any lease which is
terminable by the lessee upon the payment of a penalty, such net amount shall be
the lesser of the net amount determined assuming termination upon the first date
such lease may be terminated (in which case the net amount shall also include
the amount of the penalty, but no rent shall be considered as required to be
paid under such lease subsequent to the first date upon which it may be so
terminated) or the net amount determined assuming no such termination.

      "Authenticating Agent" means any Person authorized by the Trustee pursuant
to Section 6.14 to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Securities of
one or more series.

banking institutions in that Place of Payment are authorized or obligated by law
or executive order to close.

time constituted, created under the Exchange Act, or, if at any time after the
execution of this instrument such Commission is not existing and performing the
duties now assigned to it under the Trust Indenture Act, then the body
performing such duties at such time.

                                                                             -2-

and which are not subject to redemption by the Company; provided, further that
if at any time there shall be more than one such resulting class, the shares of

reclassifications bears to the total number of shares of all such classes
resulting from all such reclassifications.

Assistant Secretary, and delivered to the Trustee.

      "Consolidated Net Tangible Assets" means, as of any particular time, the
aggregate amount of assets (less applicable reserves and other properly
deductible items) after deducting therefrom: (a) all current liabilities
(excluding any thereof which are by their terms extendible or renewable at the
option of the obligor thereon to a time more than 12 months after the time as of
which the amount thereof is being computed), and current maturities of debt that
has a scheduled maturity more than 12 months after the date of its creation and

to the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Company. The
Trustee shall promptly deliver to the Company copies of all such instrument or
instruments delivered to the Trustee. Such instrument or instruments (and the

certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by law to take
acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument

      The Company may set any day as a record date for the purpose of
determining the Holders of Outstanding Securities of any series entitled to
give, make or take any request, demand, authorization, direction, vote, notice,
consent, waiver or other action provided or permitted by this Indenture to be
given, made or taken by Holders of Securities of such series, provided that the
Company may not set a record date for, and the provisions of this paragraph
shall not apply with respect to, the giving or making of any notice,
declaration, request or direction referred to in the next paragraph. If any
record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding
Securities of the relevant series on such record date, and no other Holders,
shall be entitled to take the relevant action, whether or not such Holders
remain Holders after such record date; provided that no such action shall be
effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date
by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of such
series on such record date. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to
prevent the Company from setting a new record date for any action for which a
record date has previously been set pursuant to this paragraph (whereupon the
record date previously set shall automatically and with no action by any Person
be canceled and of no effect), and nothing in this paragraph shall be construed
to render ineffective any action taken by Holders of the requisite principal
amount of Outstanding Securities of the relevant series on the date such action
is taken. Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the
Company, at its own expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the
proposed action by Holders and the applicable Expiration Date to be given to the
Trustee in writing and to each Holder of Securities of the relevant series in
the manner set forth in Section 1.6.

      The Trustee may set any day as a record date for the purpose of
determining the Holders of Outstanding Securities of any series entitled to join
in the giving or making of (i) any Notice of Default, (ii) any declaration of
acceleration referred to in Section 5.2, (iii) any request to institute
proceedings referred to in Section 5.7(2) or (iv) any direction referred to in
Section 5.12, in each case with respect to Securities of such series. If any
record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding
Securities of such series on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be
entitled to join in such notice, declaration, request or direction, whether or
not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided that no such
action shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to the applicable
Expiration Date by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding
Securities of such series on such record date. Nothing in this paragraph shall
be construed to prevent the Trustee from setting a new record date for any
action for which a record date has previously been set pursuant to this
paragraph (whereupon the record date previously set shall automatically and with
no action by any Person be canceled and of no effect), and nothing in this
paragraph shall be construed to render ineffective any action taken by Holders
of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of the relevant
series on the date such action is taken. Promptly after any record date is set
pursuant to this paragraph, the Trustee, at the Company's expense, shall cause
notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable

                                                                            -11-
<PAGE>
Expiration Date to be given to the Company in writing and to each Holder of
Securities of the relevant series in the manner set forth in Section 1.6.

      With respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section, the party
hereto which sets such record dates may designate any day as the "Expiration
Date" and from time to time may change the Expiration Date to any earlier or
later day; provided that no such change shall be effective unless notice of the
proposed new Expiration Date is given to the other party hereto in writing, and
to each Holder of Securities of the relevant series in the manner set forth in
Section 1.6, on or prior to the existing Expiration Date. If an Expiration Date
is not designated with respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section,
the party hereto which set such record date shall be deemed to have initially
designated the 180th day after such record date as the Expiration Date with
respect thereto, subject to its right to change the Expiration Date as provided
in this paragraph. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Expiration Date shall be
later than the 180th day after the applicable record date.

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

            (1) the Trustee by any Holder or by the Company shall be sufficient
      for every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or filed in writing

            (2) the Company by the Trustee or by any Holder shall be sufficient

SECTION 1.6. NOTICE TO HOLDERS; WAIVER.

      Where this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of any event, such

overnight courier to each Holder affected by such event, at its address as it
appears in the Security Register, not later than the latest date (if any), and
not earlier than the earliest date (if any), prescribed for the giving of such
notice. Neither the failure to mail or deliver by hand or overnight courier any
such notice, nor any defect in any such notice so mailed or delivered by hand or
overnight courier, to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such

                                                                            -12-

in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to
receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be
the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with
the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity
of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.

      In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason

per share the kind and amount received per share by a plurality of non-electing
shares). In the event of conversion of this Security in part only, a new
Security or Securities for the unconverted portion hereof shall be issued in the

      the form of any legend or legends which shall be borne by any such Global
      Security in addition to or in lieu of that set forth in Section 2.4 and
      any circumstances in addition to or in lieu of those set forth in Clause
      (2) of the last paragraph of Section 3.5 in which any such Global Security
      may be exchanged in whole or in part for Securities registered, and any
      transfer of such Global Security in whole or in part may be registered, in
      the name or names of Persons other than the Depositary for such Global
      Security or a nominee thereof;

            (18) any addition to or change in the Events of Default which

      principal amount thereof due and payable pursuant to Section 5.2;

            (19) any addition to or change in the covenants set forth in Article

above or in any such indenture supplemental hereto.

                                                                            -26-
<PAGE>
      If any of the terms of the series are established by action taken pursuant

delivered to the Trustee at or prior to the delivery of the Officers'
Certificate setting forth the terms of the series.

SECTION 3.2. DENOMINATIONS.

      The Securities of each series shall be issuable only in registered form
without coupons and only in such denominations as shall be specified as
contemplated by Section 3.1. In the absence of any such specified denomination
with respect to the Securities of any series, the Securities of such series
shall be issuable in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof.

SECTION 3.3. EXECUTION, AUTHENTICATION, DELIVERY AND DATING.

      The Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman
of the Board, its Vice Chairman of the Board, its Chief Executive Officer, its
principal financial officer, its President or one of its Vice Presidents,
attested by its Treasurer, Secretary or one of its Assistant Treasurers or
Assistant Secretaries. The signature of any of these officers on the Securities
may be manual or facsimile.

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

      At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this
Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities of any series executed by the
Company to the Trustee for authentication, together with a Company Order for the
authentication and delivery of such Securities, and the Trustee in accordance
with the Company Order shall authenticate and deliver such Securities. If the
form or terms of the Securities of the series have been established by or
pursuant to one or more Board Resolutions as permitted by Sections 201 and 301,
in authenticating such Securities, and accepting the additional responsibilities
under this Indenture in relation to such Securities, the Trustee shall be
entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 6.1) shall be fully protected in
relying upon, a copy of such Board Resolution, the Officers' Certificate setting
forth the terms of the series and an Opinion of Counsel, with such Opinion of
Counsel stating,

            (1) if the form of such Securities has been established by or
      pursuant to Board Resolution as permitted by Section 2.1, that such form
      has been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture;

            (2) if the terms of such Securities have been established by or
      pursuant to Board Resolution as permitted by Section 3.1, that such terms
      have been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture;
      and

                                                                            -27-
<PAGE>
            (3) that such Securities, when authenticated and delivered by the
      Trustee and issued by the Company in the manner and subject to any
      conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute valid and
      legally binding obligations of the Company enforceable in accordance with
      their terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer,
      reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability
      relating to or affecting creditors' rights and to general equity
      principles.

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

      Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.1 and of the preceding
paragraph, if all Securities of a series are not to be originally issued at one
time, it shall not be necessary to deliver the Officers' Certificate otherwise
required pursuant to Section 3.1 or the Company Order and Opinion of Counsel
otherwise required pursuant to such preceding paragraph at or prior to the
authentication of each Security of such series if such documents are delivered
at or prior to the authentication upon original issuance of the first Security
of such series to be issued.

      Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication.

      No Security shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be
valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Security a
certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein
executed by the Trustee by manual signature, and such certificate upon any
Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security
has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if any Security shall have been authenticated and delivered hereunder
but never issued and sold by the Company, and the Company shall deliver such
Security to the Trustee for cancellation as provided in Section 3.9, for all
purposes of this Indenture such Security shall be deemed never to have been
authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall never be entitled to the
benefits of this Indenture.

      Neither the Company nor the Trustee shall have any responsibility for any
defect in the CUSIP number that appears on any Security, check, advice of
payment or redemption notice, and any such document may contain a statement to
the effect that CUSIP numbers have been assigned by an independent service for
convenience of reference and that neither the Company nor the Trustee shall be
liable for any inaccuracy in such numbers.

SECTION 3.4. TEMPORARY SECURITIES.

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

                                                                            -28-
<PAGE>
      If temporary Securities of any series are issued, the Company will cause
definitive Securities of that series to be prepared without unreasonable delay.
After the preparation of definitive Securities of such series, the temporary
Securities of such series shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities of
such series upon surrender of the temporary Securities of such series at the
office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment for that series, without
charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more
temporary Securities of any series, the Company shall execute and the Trustee
shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor one or more definitive
Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of like tenor
and aggregate principal amount. Until so exchanged, the temporary Securities of
any series shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this
Indenture as definitive Securities of such series and tenor.

SECTION 3.5. REGISTRATION; REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE.

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

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

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

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

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

      No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or
exchange of Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient
to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection
with any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, other than
exchanges pursuant to Section 3.4, 9.6 or 11.7 not involving any transfer.

                                                                            -29-
<PAGE>
      If the Securities of any series (or of any series and specified tenor) are
to be redeemed in part, the Company shall not be required (A) to issue, register
the transfer of or exchange any Securities of that series (or of that series and
specified tenor, as the case may be) during a period beginning at the opening of
business 15 days before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of any
such Securities selected for redemption under Section 11.3 and ending at the
close of business on the day of such mailing, or (B) to register the transfer of
or exchange any Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except
the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part.

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

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

            (2) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, no Global
      Security may be exchanged in whole or in part for Securities registered,
      and no transfer of a Global Security in whole or in part may be
      registered, in the name of any Person other than the Depositary for such
      Global Security or a nominee thereof unless (A) such Depositary (i) has
      notified the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as
      Depositary for such Global Security or (ii) has ceased to be a clearing
      agency registered under the Exchange Act, (B) there shall have occurred
      and be continuing an Event of Default with respect to such Global Security
      or (C) there shall exist such circumstances, if any, in addition to or in
      lieu of the foregoing as have been specified for this purpose as
      contemplated by Section 3.1.

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

            (4) Every Security authenticated and delivered upon registration of
      transfer of, or in exchange for or in lieu of, a Global Security or any
      portion thereof, whether pursuant to this Section, Section 3.4, 3.6, 9.6
      or 11.7 or otherwise, shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of,
      and shall be, a Global Security, unless such Security is registered in the
      name of a Person other than the Depositary for such Global Security or a
      nominee thereof.

SECTION 3.6. MUTILATED, DESTROYED, LOST AND STOLEN SECURITIES.

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

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

                                                                            -30-
<PAGE>
to the Company or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a bona
fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new Security
of the same series and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number
not contemporaneously outstanding.

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

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

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

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

SECTION 3.7. PAYMENT OF INTEREST; INTEREST RIGHTS PRESERVED.

      Except as otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 3.1 with respect
to any series of Securities, interest on any Security which is payable, and is
punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid
to the Person in whose name that Security (or one or more Predecessor
Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date
for such interest.

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

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

                                                                            -31-

      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 days and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the
      proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the
      Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly
      notify the Company of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the
      expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such
      Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be given to
      each Holder of Securities of such series in the manner set forth in
      Section 1.6, not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date.
      Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special
      Record Date therefor having been so mailed, such Defaulted Interest shall
      be paid to the Persons in whose names the Securities of such series (or
      their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of
      business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable
      pursuant to the following Clause (2).

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

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

      Subject to the provisions of Section 14.2, in the case of any Security (or
any part thereof) which is converted after any Regular Record Date and on or
prior to the next succeeding Interest Payment Date (other than any Security the
principal of (or premium, if any, on) which shall become due and payable,
whether at Stated Maturity or by declaration of acceleration prior to such
Interest Payment Date), interest whose Stated Maturity is on such Interest
Payment Date shall be payable on such Interest Payment Date notwithstanding such
conversion and such interest (whether or not punctually paid or duly provided
for) shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Security (or any one or more
Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on such Regular
Record Date. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the immediately preceding
sentence or in Section 14.2, in the case of any Security (or any part thereof)
which is converted, interest whose Stated Maturity is after the date of
conversion of such Security (or such part thereof) shall not be payable.

                                                                            -32-

SECTION 3.8. PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS.

      Prior to due presentment of a Security for registration of transfer, the
Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the
Person in whose name such Security is registered as the owner of such Security
for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and any premium and
(subject to Section 3.7) any interest on such Security and for all other
purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security be overdue, and neither the
Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be
affected by notice to the contrary.

SECTION 3.9. CANCELLATION.

      All Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of
transfer or exchange or for credit against any sinking fund payment shall, if
surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee
and shall be promptly canceled by it. The Company may at any time deliver to the
Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and delivered
hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and may
deliver to the Trustee (or to any other Person for delivery to the Trustee) for
cancellation any Securities previously authenticated hereunder which the Company
has not issued and sold, and all Securities so delivered shall be promptly
canceled by the Trustee. No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in
exchange for any Securities canceled as provided in this Section, except as
expressly permitted by this Indenture. All canceled Securities held by the
Trustee shall be disposed of as directed by a Company Order.

SECTION 3.10. COMPUTATION OF INTEREST.

      Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.1 for
Securities of any series, interest on the Securities of each series shall be

the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and
discharge of this Indenture, when

            (1) either

                  (A) all Securities theretofore authenticated and delivered

            Trustee for cancellation

                        (iii) are to be called for redemption within one year
                  under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving
                  of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the
                  expense, of the Company, and the Company, in the case of (i),
                  (ii) or (iii) above, has deposited or caused to be deposited
                  with the Trustee as trust funds in trust for the purpose money

                  indebtedness on such Securities not theretofore delivered to
                  the Trustee for cancellation, for principal and any premium
                  and interest to the date of such deposit (in the case of
                  Securities which have become due and payable) or to the Stated
                  Maturity or Redemption Date, as the case may be;

obligations of the Company to the Trustee under Section 6.7, the obligations of
the Trustee to any Authenticating Agent under Section 6.14 and, if money shall
have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (B) of Clause (1) of
this Section, the obligations of the Trustee under Section 4.2 and the last
paragraph of Section 10.3 shall survive.

SECTION 4.2. APPLICATION OF TRUST MONEY.

      Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 10.3, all money
deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.1 shall be held in trust and
applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Securities and this
Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent

determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal and any premium and
interest for whose payment such money has been deposited with the Trustee.

                                                                            -34-

      this Section specifically dealt with or which has expressly been included
      in this Indenture solely for the benefit of series of Securities other
      than that series), and continuance of such default or breach for a period
      of 60 days after there has been given, by registered or certified mail, to
      the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the
      Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities
      of that series a written notice specifying such default or breach and

      adjudging the Company a bankrupt or insolvent, or approving as properly
      filed a petition seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or
      composition of or in respect of the Company under any applicable Federal
      or State law, or appointing a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee,
      trustee, sequestrator or other similar official of the Company or of any
      substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding up or

      of a decree or order for relief in respect of the Company in an
      involuntary case or

                                                                            -35-
<PAGE>
      proceeding under any applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency,
      reorganization or other similar law or to the commencement of any
      bankruptcy or insolvency case or proceeding against it, or the filing by
      it of a petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization or relief
      under any applicable Federal or State law, or the consent by it to the
      filing of such petition or to the appointment of or taking possession by a
      custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other
      similar official of the Company or of any substantial part of its
      property, 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 in furtherance of any such action; or

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

SECTION 5.2. ACCELERATION OF MATURITY; RESCISSION AND ANNULMENT.

      If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in
Section 5.1(5) or 5.1(6)) with respect to Securities of any series at the time
Outstanding occurs and is continuing, then in every such case the Trustee or the
Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities
of that series may declare the principal amount of all the Securities of that
series (or, if any Securities of that series are Original Issue Discount
Securities, such portion of the principal amount of such Securities as may be
specified by the terms thereof) to be due and payable immediately, by a notice
in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), and upon any
such declaration such principal amount (or specified amount) shall become
immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in Section 5.1(5)
or 5.1(6) with respect to Securities of any series at the time Outstanding
occurs, the principal amount of all the Securities of that series (or, if any
Securities of that series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion
of the principal amount of such Securities as may be specified by the terms
thereof) shall automatically, and without any declaration or other action on the
part of the Trustee or any Holder, become immediately due and payable.

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

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

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

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

                                                                            -36-
<PAGE>
                  (C) to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful,
            interest upon overdue interest at the rate or rates prescribed
            therefor in such Securities, and

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

            (2) all Events of Default with respect to Securities of that series,
      other than the non-payment of the principal of Securities of that series
      which have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have
      been cured or waived as provided in Section 5.13. No such rescission shall
      affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon.

SECTION 5.3. COLLECTION OF INDEBTEDNESS AND SUITS FOR ENFORCEMENT BY TRUSTEE.

      The Company covenants that if

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

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

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

SECTION 5.4. TRUSTEE MAY FILE PROOFS OF CLAIM.

      In case of any judicial proceeding relative to the Company (or any other
obligor upon the Securities), its property or its creditors, the Trustee shall
be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise, to
take any and all actions authorized under the Trust Indenture Act in order to
have claims of the Holders and the Trustee allowed in any such proceeding. In
particular, the Trustee shall be authorized to collect and receive any moneys or
other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the
same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator
or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby

                                                                            -37-
<PAGE>
authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event
that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the
Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents
and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 6.7.

      No provision of this Indenture shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to
authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of
reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities
or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in
respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding; provided, however,
that the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders, vote for the election of a
trustee in bankruptcy or similar official and be a member of a creditors' or
other similar committee.

SECTION 5.5. TRUSTEE MAY ENFORCE CLAIMS WITHOUT POSSESSION OF SECURITIES.

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

SECTION 5.6. APPLICATION OF MONEY COLLECTED.

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

      FIRST: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee under Section 6.7;
and

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

      THIRD: The balance, if any, to the Company or any other Person or Persons
entitled thereto.

SECTION 5.7. LIMITATION ON SUITS.

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

                                                                            -38-
<PAGE>
            (1) such Holder has previously given written notice to the Trustee
      of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities of that
      series;

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

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

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

            (5) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been
      given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a
      majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series;
      it being understood and intended that no one or more of such Holders shall
      have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any
      provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of
      any other of such Holders, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or
      preference over any other of such Holders or to enforce any right under
      this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and
      ratable benefit of all of such Holders.

SECTION 5.8. UNCONDITIONAL RIGHT OF HOLDERS TO RECEIVE PRINCIPAL, PREMIUM AND
             INTEREST AND TO CONVERT.

      Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any
Security shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive
payment of the principal of and any premium and (subject to Section 3.7)
interest on such Security on the respective Stated Maturities expressed in such
Security (or, in the case of redemption, on the Redemption Date), to convert
such Securities in accordance with Article 14 to the extent that such right to
convert is applicable to such Security and to institute suit for the enforcement
of any such payment, and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent
of such Holder.

SECTION 5.9. RESTORATION OF RIGHTS AND REMEDIES.

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

                                                                            -39-
<PAGE>
SECTION 5.10. RIGHTS AND REMEDIES CUMULATIVE.

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

SECTION 5.11. DELAY OR OMISSION NOT WAIVER.

      No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Securities to
exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any
such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an
acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to
the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often
as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee (subject to the limitations contained
in this Indenture) or by the Holders, as the case may be.

SECTION 5.12. CONTROL BY HOLDERS.

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

            (1) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or
      with this Indenture and the Trustee shall not have determined that the
      action so directed would be unjustly prejudicial to Holders of Securities
      of that series, or any other series, not taking part in such direction;
      and

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

SECTION 5.13. WAIVER OF PAST DEFAULTS.

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

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

            (2) to the extent such right is applicable to such Security, a
      failure by the Company on request to convert any Security into Common
      Stock; or

                                                                            -40-
<PAGE>
            (3) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article
      9 cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each
      Outstanding Security of such series affected.

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

SECTION 5.14. UNDERTAKING FOR COSTS.

      In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this
Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or
omitted by it as Trustee, a court may require any party litigant in such suit to
file an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and may assess costs against
any such party litigant, in the manner and to the extent provided in the Trust
Indenture Act; provided that neither this Section nor the Trust Indenture Act
shall be deemed to authorize any court to require such an undertaking or to make
such an assessment in any suit instituted by the Company or in any suit for the
enforcement of the right to convert any Security in accordance with Article 14.

SECTION 5.15. WAIVER OF USURY, STAY OR EXTENSION LAWS.

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

                                   ARTICLE 6.

                                   THE TRUSTEE

SECTION 6.1. CERTAIN DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES.

      The duties and responsibilities of the Trustee shall be as provided by the
Trust Indenture Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no provision of this
Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise
incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder,
or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers if it shall have reasonable
grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against
such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. Whether or not therein
expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct
or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be
subject to the provisions of this Section.

                                                                            -41-

SECTION 6.2. NOTICE OF DEFAULTS.

      If a default occurs hereunder with respect to Securities of any series,
the Trustee shall give the Holders of Securities of such series notice of such
default as and to the extent provided by the Trust Indenture Act; provided,
however, that in the case of any default of the character specified in Section
5.1(4) with respect to Securities of such series, no such notice to Holders
shall be given until at least 30 days after the occurrence thereof. For the
purpose of this Section, the term "default" means any event which is, or after
notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default with respect
to Securities of such series.

SECTION 6.3. CERTAIN RIGHTS OF TRUSTEE.

      Subject to the provisions of Section 6.1:

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

            (2) any request or direction of the Company mentioned herein shall
      be sufficiently evidenced by a Company Request or Company Order, and any
      resolution of the Board of Directors shall be sufficiently evidenced by a
      Board Resolution;

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

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

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

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

                                                                            -42-
<PAGE>
      make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to
      examine the books, records and premises of the Company, personally or by
      agent or attorney; and

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

SECTION 6.4. NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR RECITALS OR ISSUANCE OF SECURITIES.

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

SECTION 6.5. MAY HOLD SECURITIES AND ACT AS TRUSTEE UNDER OTHER INDENTURES.

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

      Subject to the limitations imposed by the Trust Indenture Act, nothing in
this Indenture shall prohibit the Trustee from becoming and acting as trustee
under other indentures under which other securities, or certificates of interest
of participation in other securities, of the Company are outstanding in the same
manner as if it were not Trustee hereunder.

SECTION 6.6. MONEY HELD IN TRUST.

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

SECTION 6.7. COMPENSATION AND REIMBURSEMENT.

      The Company agrees:

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

                                                                            -43-
<PAGE>
            (2) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to reimburse the
      Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and
      advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any provision
      of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses
      and disbursements of its agents and counsel), except any such expense,
      disbursement or advance as may be attributable to its negligence or bad
      faith and

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

SECTION 6.8. CONFLICTING INTERESTS.

      If the Trustee has or shall acquire a conflicting interest within the
meaning of the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee shall either eliminate such
interest or resign, to the extent and in the manner provided by, and subject to
the provisions of, the Trust Indenture Act and this Indenture. To the extent
permitted by such Act, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have a conflicting
interest by virtue of being a trustee under this Indenture with respect to
Securities of more than one series.

SECTION 6.9. CORPORATE TRUSTEE REQUIRED; ELIGIBILITY.

      There shall at all times be one (and only one) Trustee hereunder with
respect to the Securities of each series, which may be Trustee hereunder for
Securities of one or more other series. Each Trustee shall be a Person that is
eligible pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act to act as such and has (or if the
Trustee is a member of a bank holding company system, its bank holding company
has) a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000. If any such Person
or bank holding company publishes reports of condition at least annually,
pursuant to law or to the requirements of its supervising or examining
authority, then for the purposes of this Section and to the extent permitted by
the Trust Indenture Act, the combined capital and surplus of such Person or bank
holding company shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set
forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time the
Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall cease to be eligible
in accordance with the provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately
in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article.

SECTION 6.10. RESIGNATION AND REMOVAL; APPOINTMENT OF SUCCESSOR.

      No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor
Trustee pursuant to this Article shall become effective until the acceptance of
appointment by the successor Trustee in accordance with the applicable
requirements of Section 6.11.

      The Trustee may resign at any time with respect to the Securities of one
or more series by giving written notice thereof to the Company. If the
instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee required by Section 6.11 shall
not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the giving

                                                                            -44-
<PAGE>
of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of
competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect
to the Securities of such series.

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

      If at any time:

            (1) the Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 6.8 after written
      request therefor by the Company or by any Holder who has been a bona fide
      Holder of a Security for at least six months, or

            (2) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 6.9 and
      shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by
      any such Holder, or

            (3) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting or shall be
      adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent or a receiver of the Trustee or of its
      property shall be appointed or any public officer shall take charge or
      control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of
      rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then, in any such case, (A)
      the Company by a Board Resolution may remove the Trustee with respect to
      all Securities, or (B) subject to Section 5.14, any Holder who has been a
      bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months may, on behalf of
      himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent
      jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee with respect to all Securities
      and the appointment of a successor Trustee or Trustees.

      If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or
if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause, with respect to
the Securities of one or more series, the Company, by a Board Resolution, shall
promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees with respect to the Securities
of that or those series (it being understood that any such successor Trustee may
be appointed with respect to the Securities of one or more or all of such series
and that at any time there shall be only one Trustee with respect to the
Securities of any particular series) and shall comply with the applicable
requirements of Section 6.11. If, within one year after such resignation,
removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee
with respect to the Securities of any series shall be appointed by Act of the
Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such
series delivered to the Company and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee
so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment in
accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 6.11, become the
successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and to that
extent supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Company. If no successor
Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall have been so
appointed by the Company or the Holders and accepted appointment in the manner
required by Section 6.11, the retiring Trustee may petition, or any Holder who
has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of such series for at least six months
may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court
of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with
respect to the Securities of such series.

                                                                            -45-
<PAGE>
         The Company shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of
the Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series and each appointment of
a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series to all Holders
of Securities of such series in the manner provided in Section 1.6. Each notice
shall include the name of the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities
of such series and the address of its Corporate Trust Office.

SECTION 6.11. ACCEPTANCE OF APPOINTMENT BY SUCCESSOR.

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

         In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with
respect to the Securities of one or more (but not all) series, the Company, the
retiring Trustee and each successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of
one or more series shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto
wherein each successor Trustee shall accept such appointment and which (1) shall
contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and
confirm to, and to vest in, each successor Trustee all the rights, powers,
trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that
or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates, (2)
if the retiring Trustee is not retiring with respect to all Securities, shall
contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm
that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with
respect to the Securities of that or those series as to which the retiring
Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the retiring Trustee, and
(3) shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be
necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts
hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or
in such supplemental indenture shall constitute such Trustees co-trustees of the
same trust and that each such Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts
hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by
any other such Trustee; and upon the execution and delivery of such supplemental
indenture the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become
effective to the extent provided therein and each such successor Trustee,
without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the
rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the
Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor
Trustee relates; but, on request of the Company or any successor Trustee, such
retiring Trustee shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor
Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder with
respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of
such successor Trustee relates.

                                                                            -46-
<PAGE>
         Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Company shall execute
any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming
to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred to in the
first or second preceding paragraph, as the case may be.

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

SECTION 6.12. MERGER, CONVERSION, CONSOLIDATION OR SUCCESSION TO BUSINESS.

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

SECTION 6.13. PREFERENTIAL COLLECTION OF CLAIMS AGAINST COMPANY.

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

SECTION 6.14. APPOINTMENT OF AUTHENTICATING AGENT.

         The Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents with respect
to one or more series of Securities which shall be authorized to act on behalf
of the Trustee to authenticate Securities of such series issued upon original
issue and upon exchange, registration of transfer or partial redemption thereof
or pursuant to Section 3.6, and Securities so authenticated shall be entitled to
the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all
purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. Wherever reference is
made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Securities by the
Trustee or the Trustee's certificate of authentication, such reference shall be
deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an
Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of
the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent shall be
acceptable to the Company and shall at all times be a corporation organized and
doing business under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof
or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to act as Authenticating
Agent, having (or if the Authenticating Agent is a member of a bank holding
company system, its bank holding company has) a combined capital and surplus of
not less than $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by Federal
or State authority. If such Authenticating Agent publishes reports of condition
at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of said supervising or
examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital
and surplus of such

                                                                            -47-
<PAGE>
Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as
set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time an
Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of this Section, such Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately
in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section.

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

         An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice
thereof to the Trustee and to the Company. The Trustee may at any time terminate
the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice thereof to such
Authenticating Agent and to the Company. Upon receiving such a notice of
resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time such
Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of this Section, the Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating
Agent which shall be acceptable to the Company and shall give notice of such
appointment in the manner provided in Section 1.6 to all Holders of Securities
of the series with respect to which such Authenticating Agent will serve. Any
successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder
shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor
hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent.
No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the
provisions of this Section.

         The Trustee agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to
time reasonable compensation for its services under this Section, and the
Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed for such payments, subject to the
provisions of Section 6.7.

         If an appointment with respect to one or more series is made pursuant
to this Section 6.12, the Securities of such series may have endorsed thereon,
in addition to the Trustee's certificate of authentication, an alternative
certificate of authentication in the following form:

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

         require, of the names and addresses of the Holders of Securities of
         each series as of such Regular Record Date, as the case may be, and

                  (2) at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing,
         within 30 days after the 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 that no such list
         need be furnished by the Company to the Trustee so long as the Trustee
         is acting as Security Registrar.

SECTION 7.2. PRESERVATION OF INFORMATION; COMMUNICATIONS TO HOLDERS.

         The Trustee shall preserve, in as current a form as is reasonably

         respect; or

                  (11) to supplement any of the provisions of the Indenture to

provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of
this Indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of
Securities of such series under this Indenture; provided, however, that no such
supplemental indenture shall, without the consent of the Holder of each
Outstanding Security affected thereby,

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

                  (3) modify any of the provisions of this Section, Section 5.13
         or Section 10.10, except to increase any such percentage or to provide
         that certain other provisions of this Indenture cannot be modified or
         waived without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security
         affected thereby; provided, however, that this clause shall not be
         deemed to require the consent of any Holder with respect to changes in
         the references to "the Trustee" and concomitant changes in this Section
         and Section 10.10, or the deletion of this proviso, in accordance with

Indenture of the Holders of Securities of any other series.

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

                                                                            -53-

         In executing, or accepting the additional trusts created by, any

and (subject to Sections 601 and 603) shall be fully protected in relying upon,
an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such supplemental indenture
is authorized or permitted by this Indenture. The Trustee may, but shall not be
obligated to, enter into any such supplemental indenture which affects the
Trustee's own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

opinion of the Trustee and the Company, to any such supplemental indenture may
be prepared and executed by the Company and authenticated and delivered by the
Trustee in exchange for Outstanding Securities of such series.

                                  ARTICLE 10.

                                   COVENANTS

SECTION 10.1. PAYMENT OF PRINCIPAL, PREMIUM AND INTEREST.

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

                                                                            -54-
<PAGE>
SECTION 10.2. MAINTENANCE OF OFFICE OR AGENCY.

         The Company will maintain in each Place of Payment for any series of
Securities an office or agency where Securities of that series may be presented
or surrendered for payment, where Securities of that series may be surrendered
for registration of transfer or exchange, where Securities of that series may be
surrendered for conversion and where notices and demands to or upon the Company
in respect of the Securities of that series and this Indenture may be served.
The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and
any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Company
shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to
furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders,
notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the
Trustee, and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive all
such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands. Unless otherwise provided
in a supplemental indenture or pursuant to Section 3.1 hereof, the Place of
Payment for any series of Securities shall be the Corporate Trust Office of the
Trustee.

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

SECTION 10.3. MONEY FOR SECURITIES PAYMENTS TO BE HELD IN TRUST.

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

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

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

                                                                            -55-
<PAGE>
the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums held in trust by such Paying
Agent for payment in respect of the Securities of that series.

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

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

SECTION 10.4. STATEMENT BY OFFICERS AS TO DEFAULT.

         The Company will deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end
of each fiscal year of the Company ending after the date hereof, an Officers'
Certificate, stating whether or not to the best knowledge of the signers thereof
the Company is in default in the performance and observance of any of the terms,
provisions and conditions of this Indenture (without regard to any period of
grace or requirement of notice provided hereunder) and, if the Company shall be
in default, specifying all such defaults and the nature and status thereof of
which they may have knowledge. The fiscal year of the Company currently ends on
December 31; and the Company will give the Trustee prompt written notice of any
change of its fiscal year.

SECTION 10.5. EXISTENCE.

         Subject to Article 8, the Company will do or cause to be done all
things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence.

                                                                            -56-

SECTION 10.6. MAINTENANCE OF PROPERTIES.

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

SECTION 10.7. PAYMENT OF TAXES AND OTHER CLAIMS.

         The Company will pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged,
before the same shall become delinquent, (1) all taxes, assessments and
governmental charges levied or imposed upon the Company upon the income, profits
or property of the Company, and (2) all lawful claims for labor, materials and
supplies which, if unpaid, might by law become a lien upon the property of the
Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay or
discharge or cause to be paid or discharged any such tax, assessment, charge or
claim (i) whose amount, applicability or validity is being contested in good
faith by appropriate proceedings or (ii) if the failure to pay or discharge
would not have a material adverse effect on the assets, business, operations,
properties or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Company and its
subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

SECTION 10.8. LIMITATION ON LIENS.

         The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary
to, issue, incur, create, assume or guarantee any Secured Debt (as defined
below) without in any such case effectively providing concurrently with the
issuance, incurrence, creation, assumption or guaranty of any such Secured Debt,
or the grant of such mortgage (as defined below), that the Securities (together
with, if the Company shall so determine, any other indebtedness of or guarantee
by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary ranking equally with the
Securities) shall be secured equally and ratably with (or, at the option of the
Company, prior to) such Secured Debt. The foregoing restriction, however, shall
not apply to: (a) mortgages on property, shares of stock or indebtedness or
other assets of any corporation existing at the time such corporation becomes a
Restricted Subsidiary, provided that such mortgages or liens are not incurred in
anticipation of such corporation becoming a Restricted Subsidiary; (b) mortgages
on property, shares of stock or indebtedness or other assets existing at the
time of acquisition thereof by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary (which may
include property previously leased by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary and
leasehold interests thereon, provided that the lease terminates prior to the
acquisition) or mortgages thereon to secure the payment of all or any part of
the purchase price thereof, or mortgages on property, shares of stock or
indebtedness or other assets to secure any debt incurred prior to, at the time
of, or within 180 days after, the latest of the acquisition thereof or, in the
case of property, the completion of construction, the completion of improvements
or the commencement of substantial commercial operation of such property for the
purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase

                                                                            -57-

price thereof, such construction or the making of such improvements; (c)
mortgages to secure indebtedness owing to the Company or to a Restricted
Subsidiary; (d) mortgages existing at the date of this Indenture; (e) mortgages

substantially as an entirety to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, provided
that such mortgage was not incurred in anticipation of such merger or
consolidation or sale, lease or other disposition; (f) mortgages in favor of the
United States of America or any state, territory or possession thereof (or the
District of Columbia), or any department, agency, instrumentality or political
subdivision of the United States of America or any state, territory or
possession thereof (or the District of Columbia), to secure partial, progress,
advance or other payments pursuant to any contract or statute or to secure any
indebtedness incurred for the purpose of financing all or any part of the
purchase price or the cost of constructing or improving the property subject to
such mortgages; or (g) extensions, renewals or replacements of any mortgage

                           (i) "Secured Debt" means any debt for borrowed money
                  secured by a mortgage upon any Principal Property or upon any
                  shares of stock or indebtedness for borrowed money or
                  evidenced by a bond, note, debenture or similar instrument of
                  any Restricted Subsidiary owned by the Company or a Restricted
                  Subsidiary (whether such Principal Property, shares or
                  indebtedness are now existing or owed or hereafter created or
                  acquired); and

                           (ii) "mortgage" means a mortgage, security interest,
                  pledge, lien, charge or other encumbrance.

         Notwithstanding the restrictions outlined in the preceding paragraph,
the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary may issue, incur, create, assume or
guarantee Secured Debt which would otherwise be subject to such restrictions,
without equally and ratably securing the Securities, provided that after giving
effect thereto, the aggregate amount of all Secured Debt then outstanding (not
including mortgages permitted under any of clauses (a) through (g) above) plus
Attributable Debt of the Company and Restricted Subsidiaries in respect of Sale
and Leaseback Transactions entered into after the date of original issuance of
the Securities (other than any Sale and Leaseback Transaction permitted under

                                                                            -58-

incurred, created, assumed or guaranteed exceed an amount equal to 10% of the
Consolidated Net Tangible Assets of the Company.

SECTION 10.9. LIMITATIONS ON SALE AND LEASEBACK TRANSACTIONS.

         The Company shall not, nor shall it permit any Restricted Subsidiary
to, enter into any Sale and Leaseback Transaction with respect to any Principal
Property, unless: (a) the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary would be
entitled to incur Secured Debt on the Principal Property involved in such
transaction at least equal in amount to the Attributable Debt with respect to
such Sale and Leaseback Transaction, without equally and ratably securing the
Securities, pursuant to the limitation on liens described in Section 10.8; or
(b) the Company shall apply an amount equal to the greater of the net proceeds
of such sale, the fair market value of such property at the time of such sale
(as determined in good faith by the Company) or the Attributable Debt with
respect to such Sale and Leaseback Transaction within 180 days of such sale to
either (or a combination of) (i) the retirement (other than any mandatory
retirement, mandatory prepayment or sinking fund payment or by payment at
maturity) of debt for borrowed money of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary
that has a scheduled maturity more than 12 months after its creation or (ii) the
purchase, construction, improvement or development of other comparable property.

SECTION 10.10. COVENANT APPLICABLE TO ISSUANCE OF SECURITIES TO THE COMPANY'S
               TRUST.

         In the event the Company issues Securities under this Indenture to the
Trust or a Trust Trustee in connection with the issuance by the Trust of Trust
Securities, for so long as any Trust Securities remain outstanding (as such term
shall be defined in the declaration of trust relating to the issuance of the
Trust Securities), the Company shall:

         (a) maintain 100% ownership, whether directly or indirectly, of the
Equity Interests of such Trust; provided, however, that any Person who succeeds
the Company under the terms of the relevant indenture may succeed to the
Company's ownership of such Equity Interests; and

         (b) use its reasonable efforts to cause the Trust to:

                           (i) remain a statutory business trust, as defined in
                  the Delaware Business Trust Act, except in connection with the
                  distribution of the Securities, the redemption of all of the
                  Trust Securities of the Trust, or certain mergers,
                  consolidations or amalgamations, each as permitted by the
                  Declaration of Trust;

                           (ii) otherwise continue not to be treated as an
                  association taxable as a corporation or partnership for United
                  States federal income tax purposes; and

                           (iii) use its reasonable efforts to cause each holder
                  of Trust Securities to be treated as owning an individual
                  beneficial interest in the Securities.

                                                                            -59-
<PAGE>
SECTION 10.11. WAIVER OF CERTAIN COVENANTS.

         Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.1 for
Securities of such series, the Company may, with respect to the Securities of
any series, omit in any particular instance to comply with any term, provision
or condition set forth in any covenant provided pursuant to Section 3.1(19),
9.1(2), 10.6, 10.7, 10.8, 10.9 or 10.10 for the benefit of the Holders of such
series if before the time for such compliance the Holders of at least a majority
in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series shall, by Act
of such Holders, either waive such compliance in such instance or generally
waive compliance with such term, provision or condition, but no such waiver
shall extend to or affect such term, provision or condition except to the extent
so expressly waived, and, until such waiver shall become effective, the
obligations of the Company and the duties of the Trustee in respect of any such
term, provision or condition shall remain in full force and effect.

                                  ARTICLE 11.

                            REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES

SECTION 11.1. APPLICABILITY OF ARTICLE.

         Securities of any series which are redeemable before their Stated
Maturity shall be redeemable in accordance with their terms and (except as
otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.1 for such Securities) in
accordance with this Article.

SECTION 11.2. ELECTION TO REDEEM; NOTICE TO TRUSTEE.

         The election of the Company to redeem any Securities shall be evidenced
by a Board Resolution or in another manner specified as contemplated by Section
3.1 for such Securities. In case of any redemption at the election of the
Company of less than all the Securities of any series (including any such
redemption affecting only a single Security), the Company shall, at least 45
days prior to the Redemption Date fixed by the Company (unless a shorter notice
shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the Trustee of such Redemption
Date, of the principal amount of Securities of such series to be redeemed and,
if applicable, of the tenor of the Securities to be redeemed. In the case of any
redemption of Securities prior to the expiration of any restriction on such
redemption provided in the terms of such Securities or elsewhere in this
Indenture, the Company shall furnish the Trustee with an Officers' Certificate
evidencing compliance with such restriction.

SECTION 11.3. SELECTION BY TRUSTEE OF SECURITIES TO BE REDEEMED.

         If less than all the Securities of any series are to be redeemed
(unless all the Securities of such series and of a specified tenor are to be
redeemed or unless such redemption affects only a single Security), the
particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 45 days
prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee, from the Outstanding Securities of
such series not previously called for redemption, by lot, or in the Trustee's
discretion, on a pro-rata basis, provided that the unredeemed portion of the
principal amount of any Security shall be in an authorized

                                                                            -60-
<PAGE>
denomination (which shall not be less than the minimum authorized denomination)
for such Security. If less than all the Securities of such series and of a
specified tenor are to be redeemed (unless such redemption affects only a single
Security), the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more
than 45 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee, from the Outstanding
Securities of such series and specified tenor not previously called for
redemption in accordance with the preceding sentence.

         If any Security selected for partial redemption is converted in part
before termination of the conversion right with respect to the portion of the
Security so selected, the converted portion of such Security shall be deemed (so
far as may be) to be the portion selected for redemption. Securities which have
been converted during a selection of Securities to be redeemed shall be treated
by the Trustee as Outstanding for the purpose of such selection.

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

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

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

SECTION 11.4. NOTICE OF REDEMPTION.

         Notice of redemption shall be given by first-class mail, postage
prepaid, mailed not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption
Date, unless a shorter period is specified in the Securities to be redeemed, to
each Holder of Securities to be redeemed, at its address appearing in the
Security Register.

         All notices of redemption shall state:

                  (1) the Redemption Date,

                  (2) the Redemption Price (including accrued interest, if any),

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

                                                                            -61-
<PAGE>
         if less than all the Outstanding Securities of any series consisting of
         a single Security are to be redeemed, the principal amount of the
         particular Security to be redeemed,

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

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

                  (6) if applicable, the conversion price, the date on which the
         right to convert the principal of the Securities or the portions
         thereof to be redeemed will terminate, and the place or places where
         such Securities may be surrendered for conversion, and

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

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

SECTION 11.5. DEPOSIT OF REDEMPTION PRICE.

         On or prior to any Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the
Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying
Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 10.3) an amount of
money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of, and (except if the Redemption
Date shall be an Interest Payment Date) accrued interest on, all the Securities
which are to be redeemed on that date.

         If any Security called for redemption is converted, any money deposited
with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent or so segregated and held in trust for
the redemption of such Security shall (subject to the right of any Holder of
such Security to receive interest as provided in the last paragraph of Section
3.7) be paid to the Company on Company Request, or if then held by the Company,
shall be discharged from such trust.

SECTION 11.6. SECURITIES PAYABLE ON REDEMPTION DATE.

         Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Securities so
to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the
Redemption Price therein specified, and from and after such date (unless the
Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued
interest) such Securities shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any
such Security for redemption in accordance with said notice, such Security shall
be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price, together with accrued interest
to the Redemption Date; provided, however, that, unless otherwise specified as
contemplated by Section 3.1, installments of interest whose Stated Maturity is
on or prior to the Redemption Date will be payable to the Holders of such
Securities, or

                                                                            -62-
<PAGE>
one or more Predecessor Securities, registered as such at the close of business
on the relevant Record Dates according to their terms and the provisions of
Section 3.7.

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

SECTION 11.7. SECURITIES REDEEMED IN PART.

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

                                  ARTICLE 12.

                                  SINKING FUNDS

SECTION 12.1. APPLICABILITY OF ARTICLE.

         The provisions of this Article shall be applicable to any sinking fund
for the retirement of Securities of any series except as otherwise specified as
contemplated by Section 3.1 for such Securities.

         The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the
terms of any Securities is herein referred to as a "mandatory sinking fund
payment," and any payment in excess of such minimum amount provided for by the
terms of such Securities is herein referred to as an "optional sinking fund
payment." If provided for by the terms of any Securities, the cash amount of any
sinking fund payment may be subject to reduction as provided in Section 12.2.
Each sinking fund payment shall be applied to the redemption of Securities as
provided for by the terms of such Securities.

SECTION 12.2. SATISFACTION OF SINKING FUND PAYMENTS WITH SECURITIES.

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

                                                                            -63-
<PAGE>
been previously so credited. The Securities to be so credited shall be
received and credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the Redemption Price,
as specified in the Securities so to be redeemed, for redemption through
operation of the sinking fund and the amount of such sinking fund payment shall
be reduced accordingly.

SECTION 12.3. REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES FOR SINKING FUND.

         Not less than 60 days prior to each sinking fund payment date for any
Securities, the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate
specifying the amount of the next ensuing sinking fund payment for such
Securities pursuant to the terms of such Securities, the portion thereof, if
any, which is to be satisfied by payment of cash and the portion thereof, if
any, which is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting Securities pursuant to
Section 12.2 and will also deliver to the Trustee any Securities to be so
delivered. Not less than 30 days prior to each such sinking fund payment date,
the Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed upon such sinking fund
payment date in the manner specified in Section 11.3 and cause notice of the
redemption thereof to be given in the name of and at the expense of the Company
in the manner provided in Section 11.4. Such notice having been duly given, the
redemption of such Securities shall be made upon the terms and in the manner
stated in Sections 11.6 and 11.7.

                                  ARTICLE 13.

                       DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE

SECTION 13.1. COMPANY'S OPTION TO EFFECT DEFEASANCE OR COVENANT DEFEASANCE.

         The Company may elect, at its option at any time, to have Section 13.2
or Section 13.3 applied to any Securities or any series of Securities, as the
case may be, designated pursuant to Section 3.1 as being defeasible pursuant to
such Section 13.2 or 13.3, in accordance with any applicable requirements
provided pursuant to Section 3.1 and upon compliance with the conditions set
forth below in this Article. Any such election shall be evidenced by a Board
Resolution or in another manner specified as contemplated by Section 3.1 for
such Securities.

SECTION 13.2. DEFEASANCE AND DISCHARGE.

         Upon the Company's exercise of its option (if any) to have this Section
applied to any Securities or any series of Securities, as the case may be, the
Company shall be deemed to have been discharged from its obligations with
respect to such Securities as provided in this Section on and after the date the
conditions set forth in Section 13.4 are satisfied (hereinafter called
"Defeasance"). For this purpose, such Defeasance means that the Company shall be
deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by such
Securities and to have satisfied all its other obligations under such Securities
and this Indenture insofar as such Securities are concerned (and the Trustee, at
the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the
same), subject to the following which shall survive until otherwise terminated
or discharged hereunder: (1) the rights of Holders of such Securities to
receive, solely from the trust fund described in Section 13.4 and as more fully
set forth in such Section, payments in respect of the principal of and

                                                                            -64-

trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and (4) this Article.
Subject to compliance with this Article, the Company may exercise its option (if
any) to have this Section applied to any Securities notwithstanding the prior
exercise of its option (if any) to have Section 13.3 applied to such Securities.

SECTION 13.3. COVENANT DEFEASANCE.

         Upon the Company's exercise of its option (if any) to have this Section
applied to any Securities or any series of Securities, as the case may be:

                  (1) the Company shall be released from its obligations under
         Section 8.1, Sections 10.6 through 10.9, inclusive, and any covenants
         provided pursuant to Section 3.1(19) or 9.1(2) or for the benefit of
         the Holders of such Securities and

                  (2) the occurrence of any event specified in Section 8.1 or
         Section 5.1(4) (with respect to any of Sections 10.6 through 10.9,
         inclusive, and any such covenants provided pursuant to Section 3.1(19)
         or 9.1(2)), shall be deemed not to be or result in an Event of Default,
         in each case with respect to such Securities as provided in this
         Section on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 13.4
         are satisfied (hereinafter called "Covenant Defeasance"). For this
         purpose, such Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to such
         Securities, the Company may omit to comply with and shall have no
         liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in
         any such specified Section (to the extent so specified in the case of
         Section 5.1(4)), whether directly or indirectly by reason of any
         reference elsewhere herein to any such Section or by reason of any
         reference in any such Section to any other provision herein or in any
         other document, but the remainder of this Indenture and such Securities
         shall be unaffected thereby.

SECTION 13.4. CONDITIONS TO DEFEASANCE OR COVENANT DEFEASANCE.

         The following shall be the conditions to the application of Section

                  Stated Maturities, in accordance with the terms of this

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

                  (2) In the event of an election to have Section 13.2 apply to
         any Securities or any series of Securities, as the case may be, the
         Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel
         stating that

                           (A) the Company has received from, or there has been
                  published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or

                           (B) since the date of this instrument, there has been
                  a change in the applicable Federal income tax law, in either
                  case (A) or (B) to the effect that, and based thereon such
                  opinion shall confirm that, the Holders of such Securities
                  will not recognize gain or loss for Federal income tax
                  purposes as a result of the deposit, Defeasance and discharge
                  to be effected with respect to such Securities and will be
                  subject to Federal income tax on the same amount, in the same
                  manner and at the same times as would be the case if such
                  deposit, Defeasance and discharge were not to occur.

                  (3) In the event of an election to have Section 13.3 apply to
         any Securities or any series of Securities, as the case may be, the
         Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to
         the effect that the Holders of such Securities will not recognize gain
         or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of the deposit and
         Covenant Defeasance to be effected with respect to such Securities and
         will be subject to Federal income tax on the same

                                                                            -66-
<PAGE>
         amount, in the same manner and at the same times as would be the case
         if such deposit and Covenant Defeasance were not to occur.

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

                  (5) No event which is, or after notice or lapse of time or
         both would become, an Event of Default with respect to such Securities
         or any other Securities shall have occurred and be continuing at the
         time of such deposit or, with regard to any such event specified in
         Sections 5.1(5) and (6), at any time on or prior to the 90th day after
         the date of such deposit (it being understood that this condition shall
         not be deemed satisfied until after such 90th day)

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

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

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

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

SECTION 13.5. DEPOSITED MONEY AND US GOVERNMENT OBLIGATIONS TO BE HELD IN TRUST;
              MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.

         Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 10.3, all
money and U.S. Government Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited
with the Trustee or other qualifying trustee (solely for purposes of this
Section and Section 13.6, the Trustee and any such other trustee are referred to
collectively as the "Trustee") pursuant to Section 13.4 in respect of any
Securities shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with
the provisions of such Securities and this Indenture, to the payment, either
directly or through any such Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its
own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such
Securities, of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal
and any premium and interest, but money so held in trust need not be segregated
from other funds except to the extent required by law. The Company shall pay and
indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or
assessed against the U.S. Government Obligations deposited pursuant

                                                                            -67-
<PAGE>
to Section 13.4 or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other
than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the
Holders of Outstanding Securities. Anything in this Article to the contrary
notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to
time upon Company Request any money or U.S. Government Obligations held by it as
provided in Section 13.4 with respect to any Securities which, in the opinion of
a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a
written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the
amount thereof which would then be required to be deposited to effect the
Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance, as the case may be, with respect to such
Securities.

SECTION 13.6. REINSTATEMENT.

         If the Trustee or the Paying Agent is unable to apply any money in
accordance with this Article with respect to any Securities by reason of any
order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining
or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the obligations under this
Indenture and such Securities from which the Company has been discharged or
released pursuant to Section 13.2 or 13.3 shall be revived and reinstated as
though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article with respect to such
Securities, until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply
all money held in trust pursuant to Section 13.5 with respect to such Securities
in accordance with this Article; provided, however, that if the Company makes
any payment of principal of or any premium or interest on any such Security
following such reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated
to the rights (if any) of the Holders of such Securities to receive such payment
from the money so held in trust.

                                  ARTICLE 14.

                            CONVERSION OF SECURITIES

SECTION 14.1. APPLICABILITY OF ARTICLE.

         The provisions of this Article shall be applicable to the Securities of
any series which are convertible into shares of Common Stock of the Company, and
the issuance of such shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of such
Securities, except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.1 for the
Securities of such series.

SECTION 14.2. EXERCISE OF CONVERSION PRIVILEGE.

         In order to exercise a conversion privilege, the Holder of a Security
of a series with such a privilege shall surrender such Security to the Company
at the office or agency maintained for that purpose pursuant to Section 10.2,
accompanied by a duly executed conversion notice to the Company substantially in
the form set forth in Section 2.6 stating that the Holder elects to convert such
Security or a specified portion thereof. Such notice shall also state, if
different from the name and address of such Holder, the name or names (with
address) in which the certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock
which shall be issuable on such conversion shall be issued. Securities
surrendered for conversion shall (if so required by the Company or the Trustee)
be duly endorsed by

                                                                            -68-
<PAGE>
or accompanied by instruments of transfer in forms satisfactory to the Company
and the Trustee duly executed by the registered Holder or its attorney duly
authorized in writing; and Securities so surrendered for conversion (in whole or
in part) during the period from the close of business on any Regular Record Date
to the opening of business on the next succeeding Interest Payment Date
(excluding Securities or portions thereof called for redemption during the
period beginning at the close of business on a Regular Record Date and ending at
the opening of business on the first Business Day after the next succeeding
Interest Payment Date, or if such Interest Payment Date is not a Business Day,
the second such Business Day) shall also be accompanied by payment in funds
acceptable to the Company of an amount equal to the interest payable on such
Interest Payment Date on the principal amount of such Security then being
converted, and such interest shall be payable to such registered Holder
notwithstanding the conversion of such Security, subject to the provisions of
Section 3.7 relating to the payment of Defaulted Interest by the Company. As
promptly as practicable after the receipt of such notice and of any payment
required pursuant to a Board Resolution and, subject to Section 3.3, set forth,
or determined in the manner provided, in an Officers' Certificate, or
established in one or more indentures supplemental hereto setting forth the
terms of such series of Security, and the surrender of such Security in
accordance with such reasonable regulations as the Company may prescribe, the
Company shall issue and shall deliver, at the office or agency at which such
Security is surrendered, to such Holder or on its written order, a certificate
or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon the
conversion of such Security (or specified portion thereof), in accordance with
the provisions of such Board Resolution, Officers' Certificate or supplemental
indenture, and cash as provided therein in respect of any fractional share of
such Common Stock otherwise issuable upon such conversion. Such conversion shall
be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on
the date on which such notice and such payment, if required, shall have been
received in proper order for conversion by the Company and such Security shall
have been surrendered as aforesaid (unless such Holder shall have so surrendered
such Security and shall have instructed the Company to effect the conversion on
a particular date following such surrender and such Holder shall be entitled to
convert such Security on such date, in which case such conversion shall be
deemed to be effected immediately prior to the close of business on such date)
and at such time the rights of the Holder of such Security as such Security
Holder shall cease and the person or persons in whose name or names any
certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock of the Company shall be
issuable upon such conversion shall be deemed to have become the Holder or
Holders of record of the shares represented thereby. Except as set forth above
and subject to the final paragraph of Section 3.7, no payment or adjustment
shall be made upon any conversion on account of any interest accrued on the
Securities (or any part thereof) surrendered for conversion or on account of any
dividends on the Common Stock of the Company issued upon such conversion. In the
case of any Security which is converted in part only, upon such conversion the
Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to or on
the order of the Holder thereof, at the expense of the Company, a new Security
or Securities of the same series, of authorized denominations, in aggregate
principal amount equal to the unconverted portion of such Security.

                                                                            -69-
<PAGE>
SECTION 14.3. NO FRACTIONAL SHARES.

         No fractional share of Common Stock of the Company shall be issued upon
conversions of Securities of any series. If more than one Security shall be
surrendered for conversion at one time by the same Holder, the number of full
shares which shall be issuable upon conversion shall be computed on the basis of
the aggregate principal amount of the Securities (or specified portions thereof
to the extent permitted hereby) so surrendered. If, except for the provisions of
this Section 14.3, any Holder of a Security or Securities would be entitled to a
fractional share of Common Stock of the Company upon the conversion of such
Security or Securities, or specified portions thereof, the Company shall pay to
such Holder an amount in cash equal to the current market value of such
fractional share computed, (i) if such Common Stock is listed or admitted to
unlisted trading privileges on a national securities exchange or market, on the
basis of the last reported sale price regular way on such exchange or market on
the last trading day prior to the date of conversion upon which such a sale
shall have been effected, or (ii) if such Common Stock is not at the time so
listed or admitted to unlisted trading privileges on a national securities
exchange or market, on the basis of the average of the bid and asked prices of
such Common Stock in the over-the-counter market, on the last trading day prior
to the date of conversion, as reported by the National Quotation Bureau,
Incorporated or similar organization if the National Quotation Bureau,
Incorporated is no longer reporting such information, or if not so available,
the fair market price as determined by the Board of Directors. For purposes of
this Section, "trading day" shall mean each Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday
and Friday other than any day on which the Common Stock is not traded on the
Nasdaq National Market, or if the Common Stock is not traded on the Nasdaq
National Market, on the principal exchange or market on which the Common Stock
is traded or quoted.

SECTION 14.4. ADJUSTMENT OF CONVERSION PRICE.

         The conversion price of Securities of any series that is convertible
into Common Stock of the Company shall be adjusted for any stock dividends,
stock splits, reclassifications, combinations or similar transactions in
accordance with the terms of the supplemental indenture or Board Resolutions
setting forth the terms of the Securities of such series. Whenever the
conversion price is adjusted, the Company shall compute the adjusted conversion
price in accordance with terms of the applicable Board Resolution or
supplemental indenture and shall prepare an Officers' Certificate setting forth
the adjusted conversion price and showing in reasonable detail the facts upon
which such adjustment is based, and such certificate shall forthwith be filed at
each office or agency maintained for the purpose of conversion of Securities
pursuant to Section 10.2 and, if different, with the Trustee. The Company shall
forthwith cause a notice setting forth the adjusted conversion price to be
mailed, first class postage prepaid, to each Holder of Securities of such series
at its address appearing on the Security Register and to any conversion agent
other than the Trustee.

                                                                            -70-
<PAGE>
SECTION 14.5. NOTICE OF CERTAIN CORPORATE ACTIONS.

         In case:

                  (1) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other
         distribution) on its Common Stock payable otherwise than in cash out of
         its retained earnings (other than a dividend for which approval of any
         shareholders of the Company is required) that would require an
         adjustment pursuant to Section 14.4; or

                  (2) the Company shall authorize the granting to all or
         substantially all of the holders of its Common Stock of rights, options
         or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of
         any class or of any other rights (other than any such grant for which
         approval of any shareholders of the Company is required); or

                  (3) of any reclassification of the Common Stock of the Company
         (other than a subdivision or combination of its outstanding shares of
         Common Stock, or of any consolidation, merger or share exchange to
         which the Company is a party and for which approval of any shareholders
         of the Company is required), or of the sale of all or substantially all
         of the assets of the Company; or

                  (4) of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation
         or winding up of the Company;

         then the Company shall cause to be filed with the Trustee, and shall
cause to be mailed to all Holders at their last addresses as they shall appear
in the Security Register, at least 20 days (or 10 days in any case specified in
Clause (1) or (2) above) prior to the applicable record date hereinafter
specified, a notice stating (i) the date on which a record is to be taken for
the purpose of such dividend, distribution, rights, options or warrants, or, if
a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of Common Stock of
record to be entitled to such dividend, distribution, rights, options or
warrants are to be determined, or (ii) the date on which such reclassification,
consolidation, merger, share exchange, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding
up is expected to become effective, and the date as of which it is expected that
holders of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of
Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such
reclassification, consolidation, merger, share exchange, sale, dissolution,
liquidation or winding up. If at any time the Trustee shall not be the
conversion agent, a copy of such notice shall also forthwith be filed by the
Company with the Trustee.

SECTION 14.6. RESERVATION OF SHARES OF COMMON STOCK.

         The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available, free from
preemptive rights, out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock, for the
purpose of effecting the conversion of Securities, the full number of shares of
Common Stock of the Company then issuable upon the conversion of all outstanding
Securities of any series that has conversion rights.

                                                                            -71-
<PAGE>
SECTION 14.7. PAYMENT OF CERTAIN TAXES UPON CONVERSION.

         Except as provided in the next sentence, the Company will pay any and
all taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of shares of
its Common Stock on conversion of Securities pursuant hereto. The Company shall
not, however, be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any
transfer involved in the issue and delivery of shares of its Common Stock in a
name other than that of the Holder of the Security or Securities to be
converted, and no such issue or delivery shall be made unless and until the
person requesting such issue has paid to the Company the amount of any such tax,
or has established, to the satisfaction of the Company, that such tax has been
paid.

SECTION 14.8. NONASSESSABILITY.

         The Company covenants that all shares of its Common Stock which may be
issued upon conversion of Securities will upon issue in accordance with the
terms hereof be duly and validly issued and fully paid and nonassessable.

SECTION 14.9. PROVISION IN CASE OF CONSOLIDATION, MERGER OR SALE OF ASSETS.

         In case of any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any
other Person, any merger of another Person with or into the Company (other than
a merger which does not result in any reclassification, conversion, exchange or
cancellation of outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company) or any
conveyance, sale, transfer or lease of all or substantially all of the assets of
the Company, the Person formed by such consolidation or resulting from such
merger or which acquires such assets, as the case may be, shall execute and
deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture providing that the Holder of
each Security of a series then Outstanding that is convertible into Common Stock
of the Company shall have the right thereafter (which right shall be the
exclusive conversion right thereafter available to said Holder), during the
period such Security shall be convertible, to convert such Security only into
the kind and amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such
consolidation, merger, conveyance, sale, transfer or lease by a holder of the
number of shares of Common Stock of the Company into which such Security might
have been converted immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, conveyance,
sale, transfer or lease, assuming such holder of Common Stock of the Company (i)
is not a Person with which the Company consolidated or merged with or into or
which merged into or with the Company or to which such conveyance, sale,
transfer or lease was made, as the case may be (a "Constituent Person"), or an
Affiliate of a Constituent Person and (ii) failed to exercise his rights of
election, if any, as to the kind or amount of securities, cash and other
property receivable upon such consolidation, merger, conveyance, sale, transfer
or lease (provided that if the kind or amount of securities, cash and other
property receivable upon such consolidation, merger, conveyance, sale, transfer,
or lease is not the same for each share of Common Stock of the Company held
immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, conveyance, sale, transfer or
lease by others than a Constituent Person or an Affiliate thereof and in respect
of which such rights of election shall not have been exercised ("Non-electing
Share"), then for the purpose of this Section 14.9 the kind and amount of
securities, cash and other property receivable upon such consolidation, merger,
conveyance, sale, transfer or lease by the holders of each Non-electing Share
shall be deemed to be the kind and

                                                                            -72-
<PAGE>
amount so receivable per share by a plurality of the Non-electing Shares). Such
supplemental indenture shall provide for adjustments which, for events
subsequent to the effective date of such supplemental indenture, shall be as
nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this
Article or in accordance with the terms of the supplemental indenture or Board
Resolutions setting forth the terms of such adjustments. The above provisions of
this Section 14.9 shall similarly apply to successive consolidations, mergers,
conveyances, sales, transfers or leases. Notice of the execution of such a
supplemental indenture shall be given by the Company to the Holder of each
Security of a series that is convertible into Common Stock of the Company as
provided in Section 1.6 promptly upon such execution. Neither the Trustee nor
any conversion agent, if any, shall be under any responsibility to determine the
correctness of any provisions contained in any such supplemental indenture
relating either to the kind or amount of shares of stock or other securities or
property or cash receivable by Holders of Securities of a series convertible
into Common Stock of the Company upon the conversion of their Securities after
any such consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer, sale or lease or to any
such adjustment, but may accept as conclusive evidence of the correctness of any
such provisions, and shall be protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel
with respect thereto, which the Company shall cause to be furnished to the
Trustee upon request.

SECTION 14.10. DUTIES OF TRUSTEE REGARDING CONVERSION.

         Neither the Trustee nor any conversion agent shall at any time be under
any duty or responsibility to any Holder of Securities of any series that is
convertible into Common Stock of the Company to determine whether any facts
exist which may require any adjustment of the conversion price, or with respect
to the nature or extent of any such adjustment when made, or with respect to the
method employed, whether herein or in any supplemental indenture, any
resolutions of the Board of Directors or written instrument executed by one or
more officers of the Company provided to be employed in making the same. Neither
the Trustee nor any conversion agent shall be accountable with respect to the
validity or value (or the kind or amount) of any shares of Common Stock of the
Company, or of any securities or property, which may at any time be issued or
delivered upon the conversion of any Securities and neither the Trustee nor any
conversion agent makes any representation with respect thereto. Subject to the
provisions of Section 6.1, neither the Trustee nor any conversion agent shall be
responsible for any failure of the Company to issue, transfer or deliver any
shares of its Common Stock or stock certificates or other securities or property
upon the surrender of any Security for the purpose of conversion or to comply
with any of the covenants of the Company contained in this Article 14 or in the
applicable supplemental indenture, resolutions of the Board of Directors or
written instrument executed by one or more duly authorized officers of the
Company.

SECTION 14.11. REPAYMENT OF CERTAIN FUNDS UPON CONVERSION.

         Any funds which at any time shall have been deposited by the Company or
on its behalf with the Trustee or any other paying agent for the purpose of
paying the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on any of
the Securities (including, but not limited to, funds deposited for the sinking
fund referred to in Article 12 hereof and funds deposited pursuant to Article 13
hereof)

                                                                            -73-
<PAGE>
and which shall not be required for such purposes because of the conversion of
such Securities as provided in this Article 14 shall after such conversion be
repaid to the Company by the Trustee upon the Company's written request.

         This instrument 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.

                                  ARTICLE 15.

            DISTRIBUTION OF SECURITIES TO HOLDERS OF TRUST SECURITIES

SECTION 15.1. DISTRIBUTION OF SECURITIES TO HOLDERS OF TRUST SECURITIES

         In the event the Company issues Securities in connection with the
issuance of Trust Securities by the Trust, such Securities subsequently may be
distributed to the holders of the Trust Securities either (a) upon the
dissolution of the Trust or (b) certain other events to be described in the
Supplemental Indenture.

                                                                            -74-

and State Street Bank and Trust Company of California, N.A., a national banking

         WHEREAS, the Company executed and delivered the Senior Debt Securities

         WHEREAS, pursuant to the terms of the Senior Indenture, the Company
desires to provide for the establishment of a new series of its Securities to be

substance of such Senior Notes and the terms, provisions and conditions thereof
to be set forth as provided in the Senior Indenture and this First Supplemental
Indenture (together, the "Indenture"); and

         WHEREAS, the Company has requested that the Trustee execute and deliver
this First Supplemental Indenture and satisfy all requirements necessary to make
this First Supplemental Indenture a valid instrument in accordance with its
terms, and to make the Senior Notes, when executed by the Company and

         NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the purchase and acceptance of the

                                   ARTICLE I

                                   DEFINITIONS

SECTION 1.1 Definition of Terms.

         Unless otherwise provided herein or unless the context otherwise
requires:

         (a) a term defined in the Senior Indenture has the same meaning when
used in this First Supplemental Indenture except to the extent that such
definition has been superceded by this First Supplemental Indenture in which
case the definition in this First Supplemental Indenture shall control;

         (b) a term defined anywhere in this First Supplemental Indenture has
the same meaning throughout;

         (c) the singular includes the plural and vice versa;
<PAGE>
         (d) headings are for convenience of reference only and do not affect
interpretation;

         (e) Time of Delivery has the meaning given to it in the Underwriting
Agreement (as defined below);

         (f) the following terms have the meanings given to them in this Section
1.1(f):

         "Acquired Debt" means, with respect to any specified Person:

                           (1) Indebtedness of any other Person existing at the
                  time such other Person is merged with or into or became a
                  Restricted Subsidiary of such specified Person, whether or not
                  such Indebtedness is incurred in connection with, or in
                  contemplation of, such other Person merging with or into, or
                  becoming a Restricted Subsidiary of, such specified Person;
                  and

                           (2) Indebtedness secured by a Lien encumbering any
                  asset acquired by such specified Person, provided that, in the
                  case of this clause (2) only, such Acquired Debt shall be
                  limited to the lesser of the fair market value of the asset
                  (determined by the Company in good faith) subject to such Lien
                  and the total amount of such Indebtedness.

         "Affiliate" of any specified Person means any other Person directly or
indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common
control with such specified Person. For purposes of this definition, "control,"
as used with respect to any Person, means the possession, directly or
indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management or
policies of such Person, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by
agreement or otherwise; provided that beneficial ownership of 10% or more of the
Voting Stock of a Person will be deemed to be control. For purposes of this
definition, the terms "controlling," "controlled by" and "under common control
with" have correlative meanings.

         "Asset Sale" means:

                           (1) the sale, conveyance or other disposition of any
                  assets or rights, other than in the ordinary course of
                  business consistent with past practices; provided that the
                  sale, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially
                  all of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as
                  a whole will be governed by the provisions of Section 4.12
                  hereof and/or Section 4.9 hereof and not by the provisions of
                  Section 4.13 thereof; and

                           (2) the issuance of Equity Interests by any of the
                  Company's Restricted Subsidiaries or the sale of Equity
                  Interests in any of its Subsidiaries.

                                       2
<PAGE>
         Notwithstanding the preceding, none of the following items will be
deemed to be an Asset Sale:

                           (1) any single transaction or series of related
                  transactions that involves assets having a fair market value
                  of less than $10 million;

                           (2) any sale, lease, conveyance or other disposition
                  of assets between or among the Company and its Restricted
                  Subsidiaries,

                           (3) an issuance of Equity Interests by a Subsidiary
                  to the Company or to another Subsidiary (other than an
                  issuance of Equity Interests from a Restricted Subsidiary to
                  an Unrestricted Subsidiary);

                           (4) the sale, lease, conveyance or other disposition
                  of equipment, inventory, accounts receivable or other assets
                  or rights in the ordinary course of business;

                           (5) the sale, conveyance or other disposition of cash
                  or Cash Equivalents;

                           (6) a Restricted Payment or Permitted Investment

                  hereof;

                           (7) the licensing by the Company or any Restricted
                  Subsidiary of intellectual property or know-how on
                  commercially reasonable terms;

                           (8) the sale, lease, conveyance or other disposition
                  of real property (together with any improvements, fixtures or
                  leasehold improvements relating thereto) (the "Property") in
                  connection with the obligation of the Company or any
                  Restricted Subsidiary to remarket or sell any Property at the
                  end of the lease term or otherwise in connection with
                  Synthetic Lease Obligations;

                           (9) the sale or disposal of damaged, worn out or
                  other obsolete personal property in the ordinary course of
                  business consistent with past practice so long as such
                  property is no longer necessary for the proper conduct of the
                  business of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries; and

                           (10) the surrender or waiver of litigation rights or
                  settlement, release or surrender of tort or other litigation
                  claims of any kind or the granting of Liens (and foreclosures
                  in respect thereof) not otherwise prohibited by Section 4.7
                  hereof;

         "Attributable Debt" in respect of a sale and leaseback transaction
means, at the time of determination, the present value of the obligation of the
lessee for net rental

                                       3
<PAGE>
payments during the remaining term of the lease included in such sale and
leaseback transaction including any period for which such lease has been
extended or may, at the option of the lessor, be extended. Such present value
shall be calculated using a discount rate equal to the rate of interest implicit
in such transaction, determined in accordance with GAAP.

         "Beneficial Owner" has the meaning assigned to such term in Rule 13d-3
and Rule 13d-5 under the Exchange Act, except that in calculating the beneficial
ownership of any particular "person" (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3)
of the Exchange Act), such "person" will be deemed to have beneficial ownership
of all securities that such "person" has the right to acquire by conversion or
exercise of other securities, whether such right is currently exercisable or is
exercisable only upon the occurrence of a subsequent condition. The terms
"Beneficially Owns" and "Beneficially Owned" have a corresponding meaning.

         "Board of Directors" means:

                           (1) with respect to a corporation, the board of
                  directors of the corporation;

                  directors of the general partner of the partnership; and

                           (3) with respect to any other Person, the board or
                  committee of such Person serving a similar function.

Note to such Holder, in a principal amount equal to any unpurchased portion of

                  Payments"),

unless, at the time of, and after giving effect to, such Restricted Payment:

                           (1) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and
                  is continuing or would occur as a consequence of such
                  Restricted Payment; and

                           (2) the Company would, at the time of such Restricted
                  Payment and after giving pro forma effect thereto as if such
                  Restricted Payment had been made at the beginning of the
                  applicable four-quarter period, have been permitted to incur
                  at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the
                  Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test set forth in Section 4.2(a)
                  hereof; and

                           (3) such Restricted Payment, together with the
                  aggregate amount of all other Restricted Payments made by the
                  Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries after the Issue Date
                  (excluding Restricted Payments permitted by clauses (1), (2)
                  and (3) of the third paragraph of this covenant), is less than
                  the sum, without duplication, of:

                                    (A) 50% of the Consolidated Net Income of
                           the Company for the period (taken as one accounting
                           period) from the beginning of the first fiscal
                           quarter commencing after the Issue Date to the end of
                           the Company's most recently ended fiscal quarter for
                           which internal financial statements are available at
                           the time of such Restricted Payment (or, if such
                           Consolidated Net Income for such period is a deficit,
                           less 100% of such deficit), plus

                                    (B) 100% of the aggregate Net Cash Proceeds
                           received by the Company (i) since the Issue Date as a
                           contribution to its equity capital (other than from
                           the sale or issuance of Disqualified Stock), (ii)
                           from the issue or sale of Equity Interests of the

                           converted into or exchanged for such Equity Interests
                           (in the case of each of (i) through (iv) above, other

                           purposes of (iv) above Net Cash Proceeds shall mean,
                           with respect to unsubordinated debt securities issued
                           or sold prior to the Issue Date that have been
                           converted into Equity Interests (excluding
                           Disqualified Stock) or exchanged for Equity Interests
                           (excluding Disqualified Stock) on or after the Issue
                           Date, the principal amount (plus accrued interest) or
                           accreted value, as applicable, of such unsubordinated
                           Indebtedness that has been converted or exchanged,
                           plus

                                    (C) to the extent that any Restricted
                           Investment that was made after the Issue Date is sold
                           for cash or otherwise liquidated or repaid for cash,
                           the lesser of (i) the cash return of capital with
                           respect to such Restricted Investment (less the cost
                           of disposition, if any), and (ii) the aggregate
                           amount of such Restricted Investment, plus

                                    (D) to the extent that any Unrestricted
                           Subsidiary of the Company is redesignated as a
                           Restricted Subsidiary after the Issue Date, the
                           lesser of (i) the fair market value of the Company's
                           Investment in such Subsidiary as of the date of such
                           redesignation or (ii) such fair market value as of
                           the date on which such Subsidiary was originally
                           designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary plus the
                           aggregate amount of any Restricted Investments made
                           following the date of such original designation
                           (measured as of the time each such Restricted
                           Investment was made).

         The preceding provisions will not prohibit the payment of any dividend
within 60 days after the date of declaration of the dividend, if at the date of
declaration the dividend payment would have complied with the provisions of the
Indenture.

         (b) So long as no Default has occurred and is continuing or would be
caused thereby, the preceding provisions will not prohibit:

                           (1) the redemption, repurchase, retirement,
                  defeasance or other acquisition of any subordinated
                  Indebtedness of the Company or of any Equity Interests of the
                  Company in exchange or upon conversion for, or out of the Net
                  Cash Proceeds of the substantially concurrent sale (other than
                  to a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company) of, Equity
                  Interests of the Company (other than Disqualified Stock);
                  provided that the amount of any such Net Cash Proceeds that
                  are utilized for any such redemption, repurchase, retirement,
                  defeasance or other

                  exchange for or with the net proceeds in cash from an
                  incurrence of Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness; provided
                  that the amount of any such net cash proceeds that are
                  utilized for any such redemption, repurchase, retirement,
                  defeasance or other acquisition will be excluded from the
                  second clause (3) of Section 4.1(a);

                           (4) the repurchase, redemption or other acquisition
                  or retirement for value of any Equity Interests of the Company

                  officer, director, consultant or employee of the Company (or
                  of any of its Restricted Subsidiaries) pursuant to any
                  management equity subscription agreement, stock option
                  agreement or similar agreement; provided that the aggregate
                  price paid for all such repurchased, redeemed, acquired or

                  Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries not to exceed $10
                  million in the aggregate at any one time outstanding;

                           (6) the repurchase of Equity Securities of the

                  or repurchase, redemption, defeasance or acquisition or

                  convertible into Equity Interests (other than Disqualified
                  Stock) of the Company in connection with (i) an optional
                  redemption of such convertible subordinated Indebtedness
                  pursuant to the terms thereof, provided that, the current
                  market price per share of the Company's common stock
                  (calculated based upon the average closing price as reported
                  on the New York Stock Exchange (or other national securities
                  exchange on which such common stock is listed) for the
                  30-trading day period immediately preceding the date any
                  notice of redemption is sent or published) into which such
                  Indebtedness is convertible equals or exceeds 150% of the

<PAGE>
                  Indebtedness in compliance with the terms of the instruments
                  governing such Indebtedness; provided that any amounts paid
                  (other than Equity Interests (excluding Disqualified Stock))
                  pursuant to this clause (7) will be deducted in determining
                  the amount of Restricted Payments permitted under the second
                  clause (3) of Section 4.1(a); and

                           (8) other Restricted Payments in an aggregate amount
                  not to exceed $50 million.

fair market value on the date of the Restricted Payment of the asset(s) or
securities proposed to be transferred or issued by the Company or such
Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, pursuant to the Restricted Payment.
The fair market value of any assets or securities that are required to be valued
by this Section 4.1 will be determined by an officer of the Company and set
forth in an officers' certificate delivered to the Trustee. If such fair market
value exceeds $50 million, such determination shall be based upon a resolution
of the Board of Directors, which resolution with respect thereto will also be
delivered to the Trustee. Not later than the date of making any Restricted
Payment, the Company will deliver to the Trustee such officers' certificate,
which shall also state that such Restricted Payment is permitted and setting
forth the basis upon which the calculations required by this Section 4.1 were
computed, together with a copy of any fairness opinion or appraisal required by
the Indenture.

SECTION 4.2 Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock.

         (a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries to create, incur, issue, assume, guarantee or otherwise become
liable, contingently or otherwise, with respect to (collectively, "incur") any
Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt), and the Company will not issue any
Disqualified Stock and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to
issue any shares of preferred stock; provided, however, that the Company may
incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) or issue Disqualified Stock, and
the Company's Restricted Subsidiaries may incur Indebtedness or issue preferred
stock, if the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the Company's most recently ended
four full fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available
immediately preceding the date on which such additional Indebtedness is incurred
or such Disqualified Stock or preferred stock is issued would have been at least
2.0 to 1.0, determined on a pro forma basis (including a pro forma application
of the net proceeds therefrom), as if the additional Indebtedness had been
incurred or the preferred stock or Disqualified Stock had been issued, as the
case may be, at the beginning of such four-quarter period.

         (b) The provisions of Section 4.2(a) hereof shall not prohibit the
incurrence of any of the following items of Indebtedness (collectively,
"Permitted Debt"):

                           (1) the incurrence by the Company and its Restricted
                  Subsidiaries of Indebtedness and letters of credit under the
                  Credit Agreements in an aggregate principal amount at any one
                  time outstanding under this clause (1) (with letters of credit
                  being deemed to have a principal amount equal to the maximum

                                       30
<PAGE>
                  potential liability of the Company and its Restricted
                  Subsidiaries thereunder) (plus any Permitted Refinancing
                  Indebtedness incurred to extend, retire, renew, defease,
                  refinance, replace or refund such Indebtedness) not to exceed
                  the greater of (A) $500.0 million; and (B) the sum of (i) 85%
                  of the value of the Company's and its Restricted Subsidiaries'
                  accounts receivable (before giving effect to any related
                  reserves) shown on the Company's most recent Consolidated
                  balance sheet prepared in accordance with GAAP that are not
                  more than 90 days past due, plus (ii) 60% of the inventory
                  shown on the Company's most recent Consolidated balance sheet
                  in accordance with GAAP; in each case minus the amount of any
                  such Indebtedness (X) retired with the Net Cash Proceeds from
                  any Asset Sale applied to permanently reduce the outstanding
                  amounts or the commitments with respect to such Indebtedness
                  as required pursuant to Section 4.13 hereof or (Y) assumed by
                  a transferee in an Asset Sale; provided that, solely for
                  purposes of calculating the amount of Indebtedness which may
                  be incurred pursuant to this Section 4.2(b)(1), any
                  Indebtedness incurred pursuant to Section 4.2(b)(11) will be
                  deemed to have been incurred under Section 4.2(b)(1)(B);

                           (2) the incurrence by the Company and its Restricted
                  Subsidiaries of the Existing Indebtedness;

                           (3) the incurrence by the Company of Indebtedness
                  represented by the Senior Notes to be issued on the Issue
                  Date;

                           (4) the incurrence by the Company or any of its
                  Restricted Subsidiaries of Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness
                  in exchange for, or the net proceeds of which are used to
                  extend, refund, renew, refinance, defease or replace
                  Indebtedness (other than intercompany Indebtedness) that was
                  permitted by the Indenture to be incurred under Section 4.2(a)
                  or clauses (2), (3) or clause (4) of Section 4.2(b);

                           (5) the incurrence or issuance by the Company or any
                  of its Restricted Subsidiaries of intercompany Indebtedness,
                  Disqualified Stock or preferred stock between or among the
                  Company and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; provided,
                  however, that:

                                    (A) if the Company is the obligor on such
                           Indebtedness, such Indebtedness must be contractually
                           subordinated in right of payment to the prior payment
                           of all Obligations with respect to the Senior Notes;
                           and

                                    (B) (i) any subsequent issuance or transfer
                           of Equity Interests or other transaction that results

                           preferred stock being held by a Person other than the
                           Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company and
                           (ii) any sale or other transfer of any such
                           Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred stock
                           to a Person that is not either the Company or a
                           Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, will be deemed,
                           in each case, to constitute an incurrence of such
                           Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred stock
                           by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the
                           case may be, that was not permitted by this Section
                           4.2(b)(5);

                           (6) the incurrence by the Company or any of its
                  Restricted Subsidiaries of Hedging Obligations that are
                  incurred for the purpose of fixing or hedging interest rate
                  risk with respect to any floating and/or fixed rate
                  Indebtedness that is permitted by the terms of the Indenture
                  to be outstanding or for the purpose of fixing or hedging
                  currency exchange risk and not with the purpose of
                  speculation;

                           (7) the guarantee by the Company of Indebtedness of
                  the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company or the
                  guarantee (given reasonably contemporaneously with the
                  incurrence of Indebtedness being guaranteed) by a Restricted
                  Subsidiary of the Company of Indebtedness of any other
                  Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, in each case that was
                  permitted to be incurred by another provision of this Section
                  4.2 and by Section 4.6;

                           (8) the accrual of interest, the accretion or
                  amortization of original issue discount, the payment of
                  interest on any Indebtedness in the form of additional
                  Indebtedness with the same terms, the accumulation of
                  dividends on Disqualified Stock or preferred stock of
                  Restricted Subsidiaries (to the extent not paid) and the
                  payment of dividends on Disqualified Stock or preferred stock
                  of Restricted Subsidiaries in the form of additional shares of
                  the same class of Disqualified Stock or preferred stock of
                  Restricted Subsidiaries will not be deemed to be an incurrence
                  of Indebtedness or an issuance of Disqualified Stock for
                  purposes of this covenant; provided, in each such case, that
                  the amount thereof is included in Fixed Charges of the Company
                  as accrued;

                           (9) the incurrence by the Company or any of its
                  Restricted Subsidiaries of additional Indebtedness,
                  Disqualified Stock or preferred stock of Restricted
                  Subsidiaries in an aggregate principal amount (or accreted
                  value or liquidation preference, as applicable) at any time
                  outstanding incurred pursuant to this Section 4.2(b)(9), not
                  to exceed $75 million;

<PAGE>
                           (10) Indebtedness incurred solely in respect of
                  bankers acceptances, letters of credit and performance bonds
                  (to the extent that such incurrence does not result in the
                  incurrence of any obligation to repay any obligation relating
                  to borrowed money or other Indebtedness), all in the ordinary
                  course of business in amounts and for the purposes customary
                  in the Company's industry; and

                           (11) the incurrence by the Company or any of its
                  Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness represented by Capital
                  Lease Obligations, mortgage or equipment financings or other
                  Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock, in each case, incurred for
                  the purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase price
                  or cost of engineering, installation, acquisition, lease,
                  construction or improvement of property, plant or equipment
                  used in the business of the Company or such Restricted
                  Subsidiary, in an aggregate principal amount, liquidation
                  amount, or accreted value, as applicable, not to exceed 10% of
                  Consolidated Net Tangible Assets at any time outstanding;
                  provided that solely for purposes of calculating the amount of
                  Indebtedness which may be incurred pursuant to this Section
                  4.2(b)(11), any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to Section
                  4.2(b)(1)(B) will be deemed to have been incurred under this
                  Section 4.2(b)(11).

         The Company shall not incur any Indebtedness (including Permitted Debt)
that is contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness
of the Company unless such Indebtedness is also contractually subordinated in
right of payment to the Senior Notes on substantially identical terms; provided,
however, that no Indebtedness of the Company shall be deemed to be contractually
subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Company solely
by virtue of being unsecured.

         (c) For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.2, in
the event that an item of proposed Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock or
preferred stock of a Restricted Subsidiary, or portion thereof meets the
criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Debt described in
Section 4.2(b)(1) through (11) above, or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to
Section 4.2(a), the Company will be permitted to classify such item of
Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock or preferred stock of a Restricted
Subsidiary, or portion thereof on the date of its incurrence, or later
reclassify all or a portion of such item of Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock
or preferred stock of a Restricted Subsidiary, or portion thereof, in any manner
that complies with this Section 4.2, except that Indebtedness under the Credit
Agreements (as described in clause (1) of the definition thereof) will be deemed
to have been incurred in reliance on the exception provided by Section
4.2(b)(1).

         (d) For purposes of determining any particular amount of Indebtedness
under this Section 4.2, Guarantees, Liens or obligations with respect to letters
of credit supporting Indebtedness otherwise included in the determination of
such particular amount shall not be included to the extent that including such
amount shall cause duplication.

                                       33
<PAGE>
         (e) For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.2, the
U.S. dollar-equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in any
currency other than U.S. dollars shall be calculated based on the relevant
currency exchange rate in effect as of the date such Indebtedness is incurred,
in the case of term debt, or first committed, in the case of revolving credit
debt; provided that the amount of any Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness
denominated in the same currency as the Indebtedness being refinanced thereby,
shall be calculated based on the relevant exchange rate in effect as of the date
of the incurrence of the Indebtedness being so refinanced.

SECTION 4.3 Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Restricted
Subsidiaries.

         (a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create or permit to exist or become
effective any consensual encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any
Restricted Subsidiary to:

                           (1) pay dividends or make any other distributions on
                  its Capital Stock to the Company or any of its Restricted
                  Subsidiaries, or with respect to any other interest or
                  participation in, or measured by, its profits, or pay any
                  indebtedness owed to the Company or any of its Restricted
                  Subsidiaries;

                           (2) make loans or advances to the Company or any of
                  its Restricted Subsidiaries; or

                           (3) transfer any of its properties or assets to the
                  Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries.

         (b) The restrictions of Section 4.3(a) shall not apply to encumbrances
or restrictions existing under or by reason of:

                           (1) agreements and instruments governing Existing
                  Indebtedness, Existing Synthetic Lease Financings, the Credit
                  Agreements and other agreements as in effect (or if not in
                  effect, as attached hereto as Exhibit A) on the Issue Date and
                  any amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals,
                  increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or
                  refinancings of those agreements, provided that the
                  amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases,
                  supplements, refundings, replacement or refinancings and
                  Credit Agreements are not materially more restrictive, taken
                  as a whole, with respect to such dividend and other payment
                  restrictions directly or indirectly affecting payments from
                  Restricted Subsidiaries to the Company or to other Restricted
                  Subsidiaries of the Company than those contained in those
                  agreements on the Issue Date;

                           (2) the Indenture and the Senior Notes;

<PAGE>
                           (4) any agreement or instrument of a Person acquired
                  by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries as in
                  effect at the time of such acquisition (except to the extent
                  such agreement or instrument was entered into in connection
                  with or in contemplation of such acquisition), which
                  encumbrance or restriction is not applicable to the Company or
                  any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or the properties or assets
                  of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, other
                  than, in each case, the Person, or the property or assets of
                  the Person, so acquired, provided that, in the case of any
                  agreement or instrument with respect to Indebtedness, such
                  Indebtedness was permitted by the terms of the Indenture to be
                  incurred;

                           (5) customary non-assignment provisions in leases and
                  licenses entered into in the ordinary course of business and
                  consistent with past practices;

                           (6) purchase money obligations for property acquired
                  in the ordinary course of business and provisions contained in
                  operating leases that impose restrictions on the property
                  acquired or leased of the nature described in Section
                  4.3(a)(3);

                           (7) any agreement for the sale or other disposition
                  of a Restricted Subsidiary that contains any of the
                  encumbrances or restrictions described in Section 4.3(a) as
                  they relate to that Restricted Subsidiary pending its sale or
                  other disposition;

                           (8) any agreement or instrument governing Permitted
                  Refinancing Indebtedness, provided that the restrictions
                  contained in the agreements governing such Permitted
                  Refinancing Indebtedness are no more restrictive, taken as a
                  whole, than those contained in the agreements governing the
                  Indebtedness being refinanced;

                           (9) Liens securing Indebtedness otherwise permitted
                  to be incurred under the provisions of Section 4.7 that limit
                  the right of the debtor to dispose of the assets subject to
                  such Liens;

                           (10) provisions with respect to the disposition or
                  distribution of assets or property in joint venture
                  agreements, partnership agreements, assets sale agreements,
                  stock sale agreements and other similar agreements entered
                  into in the ordinary course of business, in each case to the
                  extent that the counterparty to such agreement is not an
                  Affiliate of the Company;

                           (11) restrictions on cash or other deposits or net
                  worth imposed by customers under contracts entered into in the
                  ordinary course of business; and

                           (12) restrictions contained in Qualified Foreign
                  Indebtedness.

SECTION 4.4 Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries.

         The Board of Directors may designate any Restricted Subsidiary to be an
Unrestricted Subsidiary if that designation would not cause a Default. If a
Restricted Subsidiary is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, the aggregate
fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors) of all outstanding
Investments owned by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the
Subsidiary properly designated (and any Investments made in such Unrestricted
Subsidiary after the date of designation) will be deemed to be Investments made
as of the time of the designation (or the date of such Investment, as the case
may be) and will reduce the amount available for Restricted Payments under
Section 4.1(a) or Permitted Investments, as determined by the Company. That
designation will only be permitted if the Investment would be permitted at that
time and if the Restricted Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an
Unrestricted Subsidiary. The Board of Directors may redesignate any Unrestricted
Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary if the redesignation would not cause a
Default.

SECTION 4.5 Transactions with Affiliates.

         (a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries to, make any payment to, or sell, lease, transfer or otherwise
dispose of any of its properties or assets to, or purchase any property or
assets from, or enter into or make or amend any transaction, contract,
agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit
of, any Affiliate (each, an "Affiliate Transaction"), unless:

                           (1) the Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are no
                  less favorable to the Company or the relevant Restricted
                  Subsidiary than those that could reasonably be expected to be
                  obtained in a comparable transaction by the Company or such
                  Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person; and

                           (2) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or
                  series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate
                  consideration in excess of $50 million, the Company delivers
                  to the Trustee either a resolution of the Board of Directors
                  set forth in an officers' certificate certifying that such
                  Affiliate Transaction complies with this covenant and that
                  such Affiliate Transaction has been approved by a majority of
                  the disinterested members of the Board of Directors, or an
                  opinion as to the fairness to the Company of such Affiliate
                  Transaction from a financial point of view issued by an
                  accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm of national
                  standing.

         (b) The following items shall not be deemed to be Affiliate
Transactions and, therefore, shall not be subject to the provisions of Section
4.5(a) hereof:

                                       36
<PAGE>
                           (1) any employment agreement entered into by the
                  Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary
                  course of business and consistent with the past practice of
                  the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary;

                           (2) Affiliate Transactions between or among the
                  Company and/or its Subsidiaries;

                           (3) Restricted Payments and Permitted Investments
                  that are permitted by Section 4.1 hereof;

                           (4) the entering into, maintaining or performance of
                  any employment contract, collective bargaining agreement,
                  benefit plan, program or arrangement, related trust agreement
                  or any other similar arrangement (in each case entered into in
                  the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice)
                  for or with any employee, officer or director, including
                  vacation, health, insurance, deferred compensation,
                  retirement, savings or other similar plans;

                           (5) the payment of compensation, performance of
                  indemnification or contribution obligations, or an issuance,
                  grant or award of stock, options or other equity related
                  interests to employees, officers or directors in the ordinary
                  course of business; and

                           (6) the payment of reasonable and customary fees and
                  the provision of indemnities to directors in connection with
                  their services.

SECTION 4.6 Limitations on Issuances of Guarantees of Indebtedness.

         (a) The Company shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries,
directly or indirectly, to Guarantee the payment of any other Indebtedness of
the Company (other than Indebtedness under the Credit Agreements) unless such
Restricted Subsidiary simultaneously executes and delivers a supplemental
indenture providing for the Guarantee of the payment of the Senior Notes by such
Restricted Subsidiary, which Guarantee will be senior to or pari passu in right
of payment or priority of Lien, as applicable, with such Restricted Subsidiary's
Guarantee of or pledge to secure such other Indebtedness.

         (b) Notwithstanding Section 4.6(a), any such Guarantee of the Senior
Notes shall provide by its terms that it will be automatically and
unconditionally released and discharged:

                           (1) in connection with any sale or other disposition
                  of all of the assets of that Guarantor (including by way of
                  merger or consolidation) to a Person that is not (either
                  before or after giving effect to such transaction) a
                  Restricted Subsidiary of the

                                       37
<PAGE>
                  Company, if the sale or other disposition complies with the
                  "Asset Sale" provisions of the Indenture; or

                           (2) in connection with any sale of all or
                  substantially all of the Capital Stock of a Guarantor to a
                  Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to
                  such transaction) a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, if
                  the sale complies with Section 4.13 hereof and such Guarantor
                  ceases to be a Subsidiary of the Company;

provided, however, that any such release and discharge shall occur only to the
extent that all obligations of such Guarantor under all of its guarantees of the
Company's or its Restricted Subsidiaries' Indebtedness shall also terminate upon
such release, sale or transfer and none of such Guarantor's Equity Interests are
pledged for the benefit of any holder of any such Indebtedness of the Company or
its Restricted Subsidiaries.

SECTION 4.7 Liens.

         The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries to, create, incur, assume or otherwise cause or suffer to exist or
become effective any Lien of any kind (other than Permitted Liens) securing
Indebtedness upon any of their property or assets, now owned or hereafter
acquired, unless all payments due under the Indenture and the Senior Notes are
secured on an equal and ratable basis with the obligations so secured until such
time as such obligations are no longer so secured.

<PAGE>
         (a) If a Change of Control occurs, each Holder of Senior Notes will
have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any part (equal to
$1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000) of that Holder's Senior Notes pursuant
to an offer on the terms set forth in this Indenture (the "Change of Control

cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes
repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Senior Notes repurchased,
to, but not including, the date of purchase (the "Change of Control Payment").
Within twenty business days following any Change of Control, the Company shall
mail a notice to each Holder describing the transaction or transactions that
constitute the Change of Control and offering to repurchase Senior Notes on the
date specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 30 days and no
later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed (the " Change of Control
Payment Date"), pursuant to the procedures required by this Indenture and
described in such notice. The Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule
14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations
thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection
with the repurchase of the Senior Notes as a result of a Change of Control. To
the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict
with the Change of Control provisions of this Indenture, the Company shall
comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be
deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control provisions
of this Indenture by virtue of such conflict.

         (b) On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company shall, to the
extent lawful:

                           (1) accept for payment all Senior Notes or portions
                  of Senior Notes (equal to $1,000 principal amount or an
                  integral multiple thereof) properly tendered and not withdrawn
                  pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;

                           (2) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to
                  the Change of Control Payment in respect of all such Senior
                  Notes or portions of Senior Notes properly tendered; and

                           (3) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee
                  the Senior Notes properly accepted together with an Officers'
                  Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Senior
                  Notes or portions of Senior Notes being purchased by the
                  Company.

         (c) The Paying Agent shall promptly mail to each Holder of accepted
Senior Notes the Change of Control Payment for such Senior Notes, and the
Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book
entry) to each Holder a new Senior Note equal in principal amount to any
unpurchased portion of the Senior Notes surrendered, if any; provided that each
Senior Note shall be in a principal amount of $1,000 or an integral multiple of
$1,000.

         (d) The Company shall publicly announce the results of the Change of
Control Offer on, or as soon as practicable after, the Change of Control Payment
Date.

                                       41
<PAGE>
         (e) The Company shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer
upon a Change of Control if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in
the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set
forth in this Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the
Company and purchases all Senior Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under
the Change of Control Offer.

SECTION 4.13 Asset Sales.

         (a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale, unless:

                           (1) the Company (or the Restricted Subsidiary, as the
                  case may be) receives consideration at the time of the Asset
                  Sale at least equal to the fair market value of the assets or
                  Equity Interests issued or sold or otherwise disposed of;

                           (2) if such Asset Sale, or any group of related Asset
                  Sales, is for assets with a fair market value in excess of $50
                  million, the fair market value is determined by the Company's
                  Board of Directors and evidenced by a resolution of the Board
                  of Directors set forth in an Officers' Certificate delivered
                  to the Trustee; and

                           (3) at least 75% of the consideration received in the
                  Asset Sale by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary
                  consists of cash, Cash Equivalents or Replacement Assets. For
                  purposes of this provision, each of the following will be
                  deemed to be cash:

                                    (A) any liabilities (other than contingent
                           liabilities and liabilities that are by their terms
                           subordinated to the Senior Notes), as shown on the
                           Company's most recent Consolidated balance sheet, of
                           the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary that are
                           assumed by the transferee of any such assets pursuant
                           to an agreement that expressly releases the Company
                           or such Restricted Subsidiary from further liability;

                                    (B) property that within 60 days of such
                           Asset Sale is converted, sold or exchanged by the
                           Company or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash, Cash
                           Equivalents or Replacement Assets; provided that any
                           such cash and Cash Equivalents shall be treated as
                           Net Cash Proceeds attributable to the original Asset
                           Sale for which such property was received; and

                                    (C) Indebtedness of any Restricted
                           Subsidiary that is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary
                           as a result

                                       42
<PAGE>
                           of such Asset Sale, if the Company and all of its
                           Restricted Subsidiaries immediately are released from
                           all Guaranties, if applicable, of payments or other
                           Obligations with respect to such Indebtedness and
                           such Indebtedness is no longer the liability of the
                           Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries.

         (b) Within 360 days after the receipt of any Net Cash Proceeds from an
Asset Sale, the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary shall apply those Net Cash
Proceeds:

                           (1) permanently to repay Indebtedness and other
                  Obligations under the Credit Agreements, any secured,
                  unsubordinated Indebtedness of the Company or any Indebtedness
                  of any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company and if the
                  Indebtedness repaid is revolving credit Indebtedness, to
                  correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto;

                           (2) to acquire all or substantially all of the assets
                  of another Permitted Business; or

                           (3) to acquire other assets that are immediately used
                  or useful in a Permitted Business or to make Permitted
                  Investments (other than pursuant to clauses (1) or (2) of the
                  definition thereof other than repurchases of Senior Notes).

         (c) Pending the final application of any Net Cash Proceeds, the Company
may temporarily reduce revolving credit borrowings or otherwise invest the Net
Cash Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by this Indenture.

         (d) Any Net Cash Proceeds from Asset Sales that are not applied or
invested as provided in Section 4.13(b) shall constitute "Excess Proceeds." When
the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $25.0 million, the Company shall
make an Asset Sale Offer to all Holders of Senior Notes and, at the option of
the Company, to all holders of other Indebtedness that ranks pari passu in right
of payment with the Senior Notes containing provisions requiring the Company or
its Restricted Subsidiaries to offer to purchase or to redeem such Indebtedness
with the proceeds of sales of assets, to purchase the maximum principal amount
of Senior Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness that may be purchased out
of the Excess Proceeds. The offer price in any Asset Sale Offer will be equal to
100% of principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not
including, the date of purchase, and will be payable in cash. If any Excess
Proceeds remain after consummation of an Asset Sale Offer, the Company or its
Restricted Subsidiaries, as applicable, may use those Excess Proceeds for any
purpose not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture. If the aggregate principal
amount of notes and other pari passu Indebtedness tendered into such Asset Sale
Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee will select the Senior
Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness to be purchased on a pro rata basis
or such other basis allowed by this Indenture and such other Indebtedness. Upon
completion of each Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset
at zero.

                                       43
<PAGE>
         (e) The Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under
the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the
extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with each
repurchase of Senior Notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer. To the extent that
the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Asset
Sale provisions of the Indenture, the Company shall comply with the applicable
securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its
obligations under the Asset Sale provisions of the Indenture by virtue of such
conflict.

SECTION 4.14 Fall-Away Event.

         (a) If on any date following the Issue Date:

                           (1) the Senior Notes are rated Baa3 or above by
                  Moody's and BBB- or above by S&P (or, if either such entity
                  ceases to rate the Senior Notes for reasons outside of the
                  control of the Company, the equivalent investment grade credit
                  rating from any other "nationally recognized statistical
                  rating organization" within the meaning of Rule
                  15c3-1(c)(2)(vi)(F) under the Exchange Act selected by the
                  Company as a replacement agency); and

                           (2) no Default or Event of Default shall have
                  occurred and be continuing;

(the occurrence of the foregoing events being collectively referred to as the
"Fall-Away Event"), then, upon the request of the Company to the Trustee,
beginning on the day of such request and continuing at all times thereafter
regardless of any subsequent changes in the rating of the Senior Notes, Sections
3.2, 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 4.6, 4.12 and 4.13 shall no longer be applicable
to the Senior Notes and Sections 4.8(a) and (c) and 4.9(b)(4) and (b)(5) shall

outstanding, including following the occurrence of the Fall-Away Event, the
Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall be subject to Sections 4.7, 4.8
(other than clauses (a) and (c) thereof), 4.9 (other than clauses (b)(4) and
(b)(5) thereof) and 4.10.

                                   ARTICLE V

SECTION 5.1 Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

         The Company may, at the option of its Board of Directors evidenced by a
resolution set forth in an Officers' Certificate, at any time, elect to have
either Section 5.2 or 5.3 hereof applied to all outstanding Senior Notes upon
compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article V.

                                       44
<PAGE>
SECTION 5.2 Legal Defeasance and Discharge.

         Upon the Company's exercise under Section 5.1 hereof of the option
applicable to this Section 5.2, the Company shall, subject to the satisfaction
of the conditions set forth in Section 5.4 hereof, be deemed to have been
discharged from its Obligations with respect to all outstanding Senior Notes on
the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, "Legal
Defeasance"). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Company shall be
deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the
outstanding Senior Notes, which shall thereafter be deemed to be "outstanding"
only for the purposes of Section 5.5 hereof and the other Sections of this
Indenture referred to in (a) and (b) below, and to have satisfied all of its
obligations under such Senior Notes and this Indenture (and the Trustee, on
demand of and at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments
acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions which shall survive
until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder:

         (a) the rights of Holders of outstanding Senior Notes to receive
payments in respect of the principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on such
Senior Notes when such payments are due from the trust referred to in Section
5.4 hereof;

         (b) the Company's obligations with respect to such Senior Notes under
Article 3 of the Senior Indenture and Section 10.2 of the Senior Indenture.

         (c) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee
hereunder, and the Company's obligations in connection therewith; and

         (d) this Article V.

         Subject to compliance with this Article V, the Company may exercise its
option under this Section 5.2 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option
under Section 5.3 hereof.

SECTION 5.3 Covenant Defeasance.

         Upon the Company's exercise under Section 5.1 hereof of the option
applicable to this Section 5.3, the Company shall, subject to the satisfaction
of the conditions set forth in Section 5.4 hereof, be released from its
obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 10.6, 10.7, 10.8 and 10.9
of the Senior Indenture and Article IV hereof with respect to the outstanding
Senior Notes on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 5.4
hereof are satisfied (hereinafter, "Covenant Defeasance"), and the Senior Notes
shall thereafter be deemed not "outstanding" for the purposes of any direction,
waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (the consequences of any
thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall continue to be deemed
"outstanding" for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such
Senior Notes shall not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this
purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Senior
Notes, the Company may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in
respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant,
whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to
any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any
other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply
shall not

                                       45
<PAGE>
constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Article VI hereof, but, except
as specified above, the remainder of the Indenture and such Senior Notes shall
be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Company's exercise under Section
5.1 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 5.3, subject to the
satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 5.4 hereof, Sections 6.1(c)
through 6.1 (g) hereof shall not constitute Events of Default.

SECTION 5.4 Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance.

         The following shall be the conditions to the application of either
Section 5.2 or 5.3 hereof to the outstanding Senior Notes:

         (a) the Company must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust,
for the benefit of the Holders of the Senior Notes, cash in U.S. dollars, non -
callable Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as
shall be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of
independent public accountants, to pay the principal of, or interest and
premium, if any, on the outstanding Senior Notes on the stated maturity thereof
or on the applicable redemption date, as the case may be, and the Company must
specify whether the Senior Notes are being defeased to maturity or to a
particular redemption date;

         (b) in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Company has delivered to the
Trustee an Opinion of Counsel confirming that (1) the Company has received from
or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (2)
since the Issue Date, there has been a change in the applicable federal income
tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of
Counsel shall confirm that, the Holders of the outstanding Senior Notes shall
not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result
of such Legal Defeasance and shall be subject to federal income tax on the same
amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if
such Legal Defeasance had not occurred;

         (c) in the case of Covenant Defeasance, the Company has delivered to
the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel confirming that the Holders of the outstanding
Senior Notes shall not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax
purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and shall be subject to federal
income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as
would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;

         (d) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default
resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit) and no
Event of Default relating to bankruptcy or insolvency may occur at any time from
the date of such deposit to the 91st calendar day thereafter;

         (e) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in
breach or violation of, or constitute a default under any material agreement or
instrument (other than as permitted in Section 5.4(d)) to which the Company or
any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of
its Restricted Subsidiaries is bound;

                                       46
<PAGE>
         (f) the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate
stating that the deposit was not made by the Company with the intent of
preferring the Holders of Senior Notes over the other creditors of the Company
with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding creditors of the
Company or others; and

         (g) the Company must deliver to the Trustee (i) an Officers'
Certificate stating that all conditions precedent relating to the Legal
Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance provided for in Sections 5.4(a) - (f)
hereof, as applicable, have been complied with, and (ii) an Opinion of Counsel
(which Opinion of Counsel may be subject to customary assumptions and
exclusions) stating that all conditions precedent provided for in clauses (b) or
(c), as applicable, and, to the knowledge of such counsel, (e) of this
paragraph, have been complied with.

SECTION 5.5 Deposited Money and Government Securities to be Held in Trust; Other
Miscellaneous Provisions.

         Subject to Section 5.6 hereof, all money and non - callable Government
Securities (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other
qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 5.5, the
"Trustee") pursuant to Section 5.4 hereof in respect of the outstanding Senior
Notes shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the
provisions of such Senior Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either
directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as Paying
Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Senior Notes of all
sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium, if any, and
interest, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the
extent required by law.

         The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or
other charge imposed or assessed against the cash or non - callable Government
Securities deposited pursuant to Section 5.4 hereof or the principal and
interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other
charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of the outstanding Senior
Notes.

         Anything in this Article V to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee
shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon the request of the
Company any money or non - callable Government Securities held by it as provided
in Section 5.4 hereof which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of
independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof
delivered to the Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered under Section
5.4(a) hereof), are in excess of the amount hereof that would then be required
to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

SECTION 5.6 Repayment to the Company.

         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, interest or
premium, if any, on any Senior Note 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 on its request or (if then held by the Company)
shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Senior Note shall
thereafter, as an unsecured creditor, look only to the Company for

                                       47
<PAGE>
payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with
respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee
thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such
Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the
expense of the Company cause to be published once, in the New York Times
(national edition) and The Wall Street Journal (national edition), 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 or
publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining shall be repaid
to the Company.

SECTION 5.7 Reinstatement.

         If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any United States
dollars or non-callable Government Securities in accordance with Section 5.2 or
5.3 hereof, as the case may be, by reason of any order or judgment of any court
or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such
application, then the Company's obligations under the Indenture and the Senior
Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant
to Section 5.2 or 5.3 hereof until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is
permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 5.2 or 5.3 hereof,
as the case may be; provided, however, that, if the Company makes any payment or
principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Senior Note following the
reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights
of the Holders of such Senior Notes to receive such payment from the money held
by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

                                   ARTICLE VI

                              DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

SECTION 6.1 Events of Default.

         Each of the following is an Event of Default:

         (a) default for 30 days in the payment when due of interest on the
Senior Notes;

         (b) the Company's failure to pay all or any part of the principal of,
or premium, if any, on the Senior Notes when and as the same becomes due and
payable at maturity, redemption, by acceleration or otherwise, including,
without limitation, payments described under Sections 4.12 or 4.13 or the
failure of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to comply with the
provisions of Section 4.9;

         (c) failure by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries for 30
days after notice by the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% of the Senior
Notes then outstanding to comply with any of the other agreements in the
Indenture;

         (d) default under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which
there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any
Indebtedness for money borrowed by the Company or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries (or the payment of which is guaranteed by the Company or any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries) whether such Indebtedness or guarantee now exists, or
is created after the Issue Date, if that default;

                                       48
<PAGE>
                           (1) is caused by a failure to pay principal of, or
                  interest or premium, if any, on such Indebtedness prior to the
                  expiration of the grace period provided in such Indebtedness
                  on the date of such default (a "Payment Default"); or

                           (2) results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness
                  prior to its express maturity;

provided that, in the case of an acceleration or Payment Default resulting from
such acceleration solely with respect to the $394 million of certain of the
Company's operating leases as described in the Prospectus Supplement under the
heading "Risk Factors - Risks Relating to the Notes - We will be required to
obtain waivers, consents or amendments from holders of certain of our financial
instruments or will be required to prepay those obligations," such acceleration
or Payment Default resulting from such acceleration is not cured on or prior to
the fifth business day following acceleration and; provided further in each
case, the principal amount of any such Indebtedness, together with the principal
amount of any other such Indebtedness under which there has been a Payment
Default or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregates $50.0
million or more (or, following a Fall Away Event, such amount aggregates to
$100.0 million or more);

         (e) failure by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to pay
final judgments aggregating in excess of $50.0 million (or, following a Fall
Away Event, judgments aggregating in excess of $100.0 million), which judgments
are not paid, discharged or stayed for a period of 60 days;

         (f) the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries:

                           (1) commences a voluntary case under Title 11, U.S.
                  Code or any similar federal or state law for the relief of
                  debtors (collectively, "Bankruptcy Laws"),

                           (2) consents to the entry of an order for relief
                  against it in an involuntary case under any applicable
                  Bankruptcy Law,

                           (3) consents to the appointment of a custodian of it
                  or for all or substantially all of its property,

                           (4) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its
                  creditors, or

                           (5) generally is not paying its debts as they become
                  due; or

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

                           (1) is for relief against the Company or any of its
                  Restricted Subsidiaries;

                                       49
<PAGE>
                           (2) appoints a custodian of the Company or any of its
                  Restricted Subsidiaries or for all or substantially all of the
                  property of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries;
                  or

                           (3) orders the liquidation of the Company or any or
                  its Restricted Subsidiaries;

         and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60
consecutive days.

SECTION 6.2 Acceleration.

         If any Event of Default occurs (other than an Event of Default
specified in clause (f) or (g) of Section 6.1 hereof) and is continuing, then
the Trustee, upon request of the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of
the Senior Notes then outstanding, or the Holders of at least 25% in principal
amount of the Senior Notes then outstanding may declare the principal of,
premium and accrued interest, if any, on all the Senior Notes to be due and
payable by notice in writing to the Company and the Trustee specifying the
respective Event of Default and that such notice is a "notice of acceleration"
(the "Acceleration Notice"), and the same shall become immediately due and
payable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default specified in
clause (f) or (g) of Section 6.1 hereof occurs with respect to the Company, any
Restricted Subsidiary that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of
Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant
Subsidiary, all outstanding Senior Notes shall be due and payable immediately
without further action or notice. The Holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Senior Notes then outstanding by written notice to the
Trustee may on behalf of the Holders rescind an acceleration and its
consequences if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree
and if all existing Events of Default (except nonpayment of principal, interest
or premium that has become due solely because of the acceleration) have been
cured or waived.

         If an Event of Default occurs on or after February 15, 2006 by reason
of any willful action (or inaction) taken (or not taken) by or on behalf of the
Company with the intention of avoiding payment of the premium that they Company
would have had to pay if the Company then had elected to redeem the Senior Notes
pursuant to Section 3.1(b) hereof, then, upon acceleration of the Senior Notes,
an equivalent premium shall also become and be immediately due and payable, to
the extent permitted by law, anything in the Indenture or in the Senior Notes to
the contrary notwithstanding. If an Event of Default occurs prior to February
15, 2006 by reason of any willful action (or inaction) taken (or not taken) by
or on behalf of the Company with the intention of avoiding any prohibition on
redemption of the Senior Notes prior to February 15, 2006, then, upon
acceleration of the Senior Notes, an additional premium shall also become and be
immediately due and payable, to the extent permitted by law, in an amount, for
each of the years beginning on February 15 of the years set forth below, as set
forth below (expressed as a percentage of the aggregate principal amount to the
date of payment that would otherwise be due but for the provisions of this
sentence:

         SOLECTRON CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (the "Company", which
term includes any successor corporation under the Indenture hereinafter referred
to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to __________________ the

<PAGE>
principal sum of ________ dollars ($__________) on February 15, 2009 (such date
is hereinafter referred to as the "Stated Maturity") and to pay interest on said
principal sum from February 6, 2002, or from the most recent interest payment
date (each such date, an "Interest Payment Date") to which interest has been
paid or duly provided for, semi-annually in arrears on February 15 and August 15
of each year, commencing August 15, 2002, at the rate of 9.625% per annum (the
"Interest Rate") until the principal hereof is paid or made available for
payment; provided that any principal and installment of interest which is
overdue shall bear interest (to the extent that payment of such interest is
enforceable under applicable law) at the Interest Rate from the dates such
amounts are due until they are paid or made available for payment, and such
interest shall be payable on demand. The amount of interest payable on any
Interest Payment Date shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year
consisting of twelve 30-day months. In the event that any date on which interest
is payable on this Senior Note is not a Business Day, then payment of interest
payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business
Day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of any such delay),
except that, if such Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar year, such
payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day, in each case
with the same force and effects as if made on such date. The interest
installment so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any
Interest Payment Date will, as provided in the Indenture, be paid to the person
in whose name this Senior Note is registered at the close of business on the
Regular Record Date for such interest installment, which as long as any Senior
Notes are represented by a Global Note shall be the close of business on the
immediately preceding February 1 for interest payable on the Senior Notes on
February 15 and the close of business on the immediately preceding August 1 for
interest payable on the Senior Notes on August 15; provided, however, if
pursuant to the terms of the Indenture the Senior Notes are no longer
represented by a Global Note, the Company may select such Regular Record Date
for such interest installment which shall be more than one Business Day but less
than 60 Business Days prior to an Interest Payment Date. Any such interest
installment not punctually paid or duly provided for shall forthwith cease to be
payable to the registered Holders on such Regular Record Date and may be paid to
the Person in whose name this Senior Notes is registered at the close of
business on a Special Record Date to be fixed by the Trustee for the payment of
such Defaulted Interest, notice whereof shall be given to the registered Holders
of this series of Senior Notes not less than 10 days prior to such Special
Record Date, or may be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not
inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the
Senior Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such
exchange all as more fully provided in the Indenture. The principal of and the
interest on this Senior Note shall be payable at the Office or Agency of the
Company maintained for that purpose in any coin or currency of the United States
of America that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and
private debts; provided, however, that payment of interest may be made at the
option of the Company by check mailed to the registered Holder at such address
as shall appear in the Security Register or by wire transfer to an account
appropriately designated by the Holder entitled thereto.

         This Senior Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the
Indenture hereinafter referred to, be valid or become obligatory for any purpose

         In addition, at any time prior to February 15, 2006, the Company may,
at its option, redeem the Senior Notes, in whole or in part, from time to time,
upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' notice at a redemption price equal
to the greater of (1) 104.813% of the principal amount of the Senior Notes so
redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, and (2) the Make-Whole Premium,
plus, to the extent not included in the Make-Whole Premium, accrued and unpaid
interest to, but not including, the date of redemption.

                                       55
<PAGE>
         "Make-Whole Premium" means, with respect to a Senior Note, the sum of
the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of interest, principal
and premium thereon (not including any portion of such payments of interest
accrued as of the date of redemption) as if the Senior Notes were redeemed on
February 15, 2006 pursuant to Section 3.1(b) of the First Supplemental Indenture
on such date, discounted to the redemption date on a semiannual basis (assuming
a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 50
basis points.

         The Senior Notes do not have the benefit of any sinking fund obligation
nor is the Company required to make mandatory redemption payments with respect
to the Senior Notes.

         If a Change of Control occurs, each Holder of Senior Notes will have
the right to require the Company to make an offer to all Holders to repurchase
the Senior Notes on the terms, in accordance with the procedures and subject to
the limitations set forth in the Indenture. If the Company or a Restricted
Subsidiary consummates any Asset Sales, when the aggregate amount of Excess
Proceeds exceeds $25.0 million, the Company shall make an Asset Sale Offer to
all Holders of Senior Notes and, at the option of the Company, to all holders of
other Indebtedness that ranks pari passu in right of payment with the Senior
Notes containing provisions requiring the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries
to offer to purchase or to redeem such Indebtedness with the proceeds of sales
of assets, to purchase the maximum principal amount of Senior Notes and such
other pari passu Indebtedness that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds
on the terms, in accordance with the procedures and subject to the limitations
set forth in the Indenture and such other pari passu Indebtedness.

         In case an Event of Default, as defined in the Indenture, shall have
occurred and be continuing, the principal of all of the Senior Notes may be
declared, and upon such declaration shall become, due and payable, in the
manner, with the effect and subject to the conditions provided in the Indenture.

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

         As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the
Holder of this Senior Note shall not have the right to institute any proceeding
with respect to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or
for any other remedy

                                       56
<PAGE>
thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the Trustee written
notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Senior Notes, the
Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Senior Notes at the time
Outstanding shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute
proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the
Trustee reasonable indemnity, and the Trustee shall not have received from the
Holders of a majority in principal amount of Senior Notes at the time
Outstanding a direction inconsistent with such request, and shall have failed to
institute any such proceeding, for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request
and offer of indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by
the Holder of this Senior Note for the enforcement of any payment of principal
hereof or any premium or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates
expressed herein.

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

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

         The Senior Notes are issuable only in registered form without coupons
in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof. As provided in the
Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Senior Notes are
exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes and of like
tenor of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder
surrendering the same.

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

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

         No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of or the
interest on this Senior Note, or for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in
respect hereof, or based on or in respect of the Indenture, against any
incorporator, shareholder, officer or director, past, present or future, as
such, of the Company or of any predecessor or

successor corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of
law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such
liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for
the issuance hereof, expressly waived and released.

                        AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER

SECTION 9.1 Without Consent Of Holders Of Senior Notes

         Notwithstanding Section 9.2 hereof, the Company and the Trustee may
amend or supplement this Indenture or the Senior Notes without the consent of
any Holder of a Senior Note:

         (a) to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency;

         (b) to provide for uncertificated Senior Notes in addition to or in
place of certificated Senior Notes;

         (c) to provide for the assumption of the Company's obligations to the
Holders of the Senior Notes in the case of a merger or consolidation by a
successor to the Company pursuant to Section 4.9 hereof;

         (d) to make any change that would provide any additional rights or
benefits to the Holders of the Senior Notes or that does not adversely affect
the legal rights hereunder of any Holder of the Senior Note;

         (e) to comply with requirements of the Commission in order to maintain
the qualification of this Indenture under the TIA;

         (f) to add to the covenants of the Company for the benefit of the
Holders or to surrender any right or power herein conferred upon the Company;
and

         (g) to add guarantors to the Senior Notes or to add collateral securing
the Senior Notes pursuant to the terms hereof.

          Upon the written request of the Company accompanied by a resolution of
its Board of Directors authorizing the execution of any such amended or
supplemental indenture, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents
described in Section 6.3 of the Senior Indenture, the Trustee shall join with
the Company in the execution of any amended or supplemental indenture authorized
or permitted by the terms of this Indenture and to make any further appropriate
agreements and stipulations that may be therein

                                       62
<PAGE>
contained, but the Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into such amended or
supplemental indenture that affects its own rights, duties or immunities under
this Indenture or otherwise.

SECTION 9.2 With Consent of Holders of Senior Notes.

         Except as provided below in this Section 9.2, the Company and the
Trustee, may amend or supplement this Indenture and the Senior Notes with the
consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Senior
Notes then outstanding, voting as a single class (including, without limitation,
consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange
offer for, the Senior Notes), and subject to Section 9.7 hereof, any existing
Default or Event of Default (other than a Default or Event of Default in the
payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Senior Notes,
except a rescission of acceleration of the Senior Notes by the Holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes and a waiver of the
payment default resulting from such acceleration) or compliance with any
provision of this Indenture or the Senior Notes may be waived with the consent
of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then
outstanding Senior Notes voting as a single class (including, without
limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer
or exchange offer for, the Senior Notes). Any such consent shall be delivered to
the Trustee.

         Upon the written request of the Company accompanied by a resolution of
its Board of Directors authorizing the execution of any such amended or
supplemental indenture, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence
satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of the Holders of Senior Notes as
aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section
6.3 of the Senior Indenture, the Trustee shall join with the Company in the
execution of such amended or supplemental indenture unless such amended or
supplemental indenture directly affects the Trustee's own rights, duties or
immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in
its discretion, but shall not be obligated to, enter into such amended or
supplemental indenture.

         It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders of Senior
Notes under this Section 9.2 to approve the particular form of any proposed
amendment or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the
substance thereof.

         After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.2 becomes
effective, the Company shall mail to the Holders of Senior Notes affected
thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any
failure of the Company to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not,
however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amended or
supplemental indenture or waiver. Subject to the provisions of this Section 9.2
and Section 9.7 hereof, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount
of the Senior Notes then outstanding voting as a single class may waive
compliance in a particular instance by the Company with any provision of this
Indenture or the Senior Notes. A copy of any such waiver shall be delivered to
the Trustee. However, without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment
or waiver under this Section 9.2 may not (with respect to any Senior Notes held
by a non-consenting Holder):

                                       63
<PAGE>
         (a) reduce the percentage in principal amount of Senior Notes
outstanding whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver
provided for in this Indenture;

         (b) reduce the principal of or change the Stated Maturity of any Senior
Note or alter the provisions with respect to the redemption of Senior Notes
(other than provisions related to Sections 3.2, 4.12 and 4.13 hereof);

         (c) reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest on
any Senior Notes;

         (d) waive a Default or an Event of Default in the payment of, principal
of, or interest or premium, if any on the Senior Notes (except a rescission of
acceleration of the Senior Notes by the Holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Senior Notes and a waiver of the payment default that
resulted from such acceleration);

         (e) make any Senior Note payable in money other than that stated in the
Senior Notes;

         (f) make any change in the provisions of the Indenture relating to
waivers of past Defaults or the rights of Holders of Senior Notes to receive
payments of, principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on the Senior Notes;

         (g) waive a redemption payment with respect to any Senior Note (other
than a payment required by Section 3.2, 4.12 or 4.13); or

         (h) modify any of the waiver provisions, except to increase any
required 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 Senior Note affected thereby.

SECTION 9.3 Compliance With Trust Indenture Act.

         Every amendment or supplement to this Indenture or the Senior Notes
shall be set forth in a amended or supplemental indenture that complies with the
TIA as then in effect.

SECTION 9.4 Revocation And Effect Of Consents.

         (a) Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a
consent to it by a Holder of a Senior Note is a continuing consent by the Holder
of a Senior Note and every subsequent Holder of a Senior Note or portion of a
Senior Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder's Senior Note,
even if notation of the consent is not made on any Senior Note. However, any
such Holder of a Senior Note or subsequent Holder of a Senior Note may revoke
the consent as to its Senior Note if the Trustee receives written notice of
revocation before the date the waiver, supplement or amendment becomes
effective. An amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance
with its terms and thereafter binds every Holder. An amendment or waiver shall
become effective upon receipt by the Trustee of the requisite number of written
consents under Section 9.1 or 9.2 as applicable.

                                       64
<PAGE>
         (b) The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date
for the purpose of determining the Holders of Senior Notes entitled to give
their consent or take any other action described above or required or permitted
to be taken pursuant to this Indenture. If a record date is fixed, then
notwithstanding the immediately preceding paragraph, those Persons who held
Senior Notes at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only
those Persons, shall be entitled to give such consent or to revoke any consent
previously given or to take any such action, whether or not such Persons
continue to be Holders after such record date. If such record date is fixed by
the Company, it shall so notify the Trustee in writing.

SECTION 9.5 Notation On Or Exchange Of Senior Notes.

         (a) The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment,
supplement or waiver on any Senior Note thereafter authenticated. The Company in
exchange for all Senior Notes may issue and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of
an Authentication Order, authenticate new Senior Notes that reflect the
amendment, supplement or waiver.

         (b) Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Senior Note
shall not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or
waiver.

SECTION 9.6 Trustee To Sign Amendments, Etc.

         The Trustee shall sign any amended or supplemental indenture authorized
pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment or supplement does not adversely
affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee and all
other conditions to the execution and delivery of such amendment or supplement
set forth in this Article 9 are fulfilled. The Company may not sign an amendment
or supplemental indenture until the Board of Directors approves it. In executing
any amended or supplemental indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive
and (subject to Section 6.1 of the Senior Indenture) shall be fully protected in
relying upon an Officer's Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the
execution of such amended or supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted
by this Indenture and that such amendment is the legal, valid and binding
obligation of the Company, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms,
subject to customary exceptions, and complies with the provisions hereof
(including Section 9.3).

SECTION 9.7 Waiver Of Past Defaults.

         Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of
the then outstanding Senior Notes by written notice to the Trustee may on behalf
of the Holders of all of the Senior Notes waive an existing Default or Event of
Default and its consequences hereunder, except a continuing Default or Event of
Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, the
Senior Notes (including in connection with an offer to purchase). Upon any such
waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising
therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this
Indenture, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or
impair any right consequent thereon.

SECTION 9.8 Effect of Supplemental Indenture.

                                       65

         Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture under this Article,
this Indenture shall be modified in accordance therewith, and such supplemental
indenture shall form a part of this Indenture for all purposes; and every Holder
of Senior Notes theretofore or thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder
shall be bound thereby.
