"Trustee").

                                   WITNESSETH:

         WHEREAS, the Company and the Trustee executed and delivered an
Indenture, dated as of January 9, 1997 (the "Original Indenture," and, together
with the Supplemental Indenture, the "Indenture"), to provide for the issuance
by the Company from time to time of its unsecured debentures, notes or other
evidence of indebtedness (the "Securities") to be issued in one or more series
as provided in the Indenture;

         WHEREAS, the Company desires to enter into a supplemental indenture
with the Trustee to provide for the issuance of Securities that are subordinate
and junior in right of payment to its senior debt securities and that are
convertible into shares of its common stock, par value $1.00 (the "Common
Stock") pursuant to Section 10.1(5) of the Original Indenture;

                  NOW, THEREFORE, THIS SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE WITNESSETH:

equal and proportionate benefit of all Holders of Securities or series thereof,

         "Notice of redemption shall be given not less than 20 nor more than 60
         days prior to the Redemption Date, to each Holder of Securities to be
         redeemed, as provided in Section 1.6." and

         (2) by inserting a new sentence after the first sentence of the second
paragraph of Section 12.4 as follows:

         If the Securities of such series are convertible into other securities
         of the Company, the notice shall also state the conversion price, the
         last date on which the Securities may be converted prior to the
         Redemption Date, and that the Holders who wish to convert their
         Securities must comply with and satisfy all the terms, conditions and
         requirements for conversation as set forth in the Securities and/or
         this Indenture.

inserting, immediately following Article 14 thereof, the following new Article
15:

                                   Article XV

                                  SUBORDINATION

         Section 15.1. SECURITIES SUBORDINATE TO SENIOR DEBT. The Company
covenants and agrees, and each Holder of Securities of any series (or any
Coupons appertaining thereto) by the Holder's acceptance thereof, likewise
covenants and agrees, that, to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set
forth in this Article 15, the indebtedness represented by the Securities of such
series (or any Coupons appertaining thereto) and the payment of the principal of
(and premium, if any) and interest on each and all of the Securities of such
series (or any Coupons appertaining thereto) are hereby expressly made
subordinate and junior in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all
Senior Debt of the Company, to the extent and in the manner herein set forth
(unless a different manner is set forth in the Securities of such series, or any
Coupons appertaining thereto). No provision of this Article 15 shall prevent the
occurrence of any default or Event of Default hereunder.

         Section 15.2. PAYMENT OVER OF PROCEEDS UPON DISSOLUTION, ETC. Upon any
payment by the Company or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or
character, whether in cash, property or securities, to creditors upon any
dissolution or winding-up or liquidation or reorganization of the Company,
whether voluntary or involuntary or in bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or
other proceedings, all amounts due upon all Senior Debt of the Company shall
first be paid in full, or payment thereof provided for in money in accordance
with its terms, before any payment is made by the Company on account of the
principal (and premium, if any) or interest on the Securities of any series (or
any Coupons appertaining thereto); and upon any such dissolution or winding-up
or liquidation or reorganization, any payment by the Company, or distribution of
assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or
securities, to which the Holders of the Securities of such series (or any
Coupons appertaining thereto) or the Trustee would be entitled to receive from
the Company, except for the provisions of this Article 15, shall be paid by the
Company or by any receiver, trustee in

<PAGE>

                                                                               4

bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, agent or other Person making such payment or
distribution, or by the Holders of the Securities of such series (or any Coupons
appertaining thereto) or by the Trustee under the Indenture if received by them
or it, directly to the holders of Senior Debt of the Company (pro rata to such
holders on the basis of the respective amounts of Senior Debt held by such
holders, as calculated by the Company) or their representative or
representatives, or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture pursuant to
which any instruments evidencing such Senior Debt may have been issued, as their
respective interests may appear, to the extent necessary to pay such Senior Debt
in full, in money or money's worth, after giving effect to any concurrent
payment or distribution to or for the holders of such Senior Debt, before any
payment or distribution is made to the Holders of the Securities of such series
(or any Coupons appertaining thereto) or to the Trustee.

         In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment or
distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash,
property or securities, prohibited by the foregoing, shall be received by the
Trustee before all Senior Debt of the Company is paid in full, or provision is
made for such payment in money in accordance with its terms, such payment or
distribution shall be held in trust for the benefit of and shall be paid over or
delivered to the holders of such Senior Debt or their representative or
representatives, or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture pursuant to
which any instruments evidencing such Senior Debt may have been issued, and
their respective interests may appear, as calculated by the Company, for
application to the payment of all Senior Debt of the Company, as the case may
be, remaining unpaid to the extent necessary to pay such Senior Debt in full in
money in accordance with its terms, after giving effect to any concurrent
payment or distribution to or for the benefit of the holders of such Senior
Debt.

         For purposes of this Article 15 only, the words "cash, property or
securities" shall not be deemed to include shares of stock of the Company as
reorganized or readjusted, or securities of the Company or any other corporation
provided for by a plan of reorganization or readjustment which are subordinated
in right of payment to all Senior Debt which may at the time be outstanding to
substantially the same extent as, or to a greater extent than, the Securities of
any series (or any Coupons appertaining thereto) are so subordinated as provided
in this Article 15. The consolidation of the Company with, or the merger of the
Company into, another Person or the liquidation or dissolution of the Company
following the conveyance or transfer of its properties and assets substantially
as an entirety to another Person upon the terms and conditions set forth in
Article 9 shall not be deemed a dissolution, winding up, liquidation,
reorganization, assignment for the benefit of creditors or marshalling of assets
and liabilities of the Company for the purposes of this Section if the Person
formed by such consolidation or into which the Company is merged or, the Person
which acquires by conveyance or transfer such properties and assets
substantially as an entirety, as the case may be, shall, as a part of such
consolidation, merger, conveyance or transfer, comply with the conditions set
forth in Article 9.

         Section 15.3. PRIOR PAYMENT OF SENIOR DEBT UPON ACCELERATION OF
SECURITIES. In the event that any of the Securities of any series (or any
Coupons appertaining thereto) are declared due and payable before the Stated
Maturity, then and in such event the holders of Senior Debt shall be entitled to
receive payment in full of all amounts due or to become due on or in respect of
all Senior Debt or provision shall be made for such payment in cash, before the

<PAGE>

                                                                               5

Holders of the Securities of such series (or any Coupons appertaining thereto)
are entitled to receive any payment (including any payment which may be payable
by reason of the payment of any other indebtedness of the Company being
subordinated to the payment of the Securities of such series (or any Coupons
appertaining thereto)) by the Company on account of the principal of (or
premium, if any) or interest on the Securities of such series (or any Coupons
appertaining thereto) or on account of the purchase or other acquisition of
Securities of such series (or any Coupons appertaining thereto).

         In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall
make any payment to the Trustee or the Holder of any Securities of such series
(or any Coupons appertaining thereto) prohibited by the foregoing provisions of
this Section, and if such fact shall, at or prior to the time of such payment,
have been made known to the Trustee or, as the case may be, such Holder, then
and in such event such payment shall be paid over and delivered forthwith to the
Company.

         The provisions of this Section shall not apply to any payment with
respect to which Article 16 and the terms of any convertible Securities of any
series set forth in an Officers' Certificate or established in one or more
indentures supplemental hereto in accordance with Section 2.2(a), 2.2(b),
10.1(5) and 10.1(6) would be applicable.

         Section 15.4. NO PAYMENT WHEN SENIOR DEBT IN DEFAULT. In the event and
during the continuation of any default by the Company in the payment of
principal, premium, interest or any other payment due on any Senior Debt of the
Company, as the case may be, beyond any applicable grace period with respect
thereto, or in the event that the maturity of any Senior Debt of the Company, as
the case may be, has been accelerated because of a default, then, in any such
case, no payment shall be made by the Company with respect to the principal,
premium, if any, or interest on the Securities of any series (or any Coupons
appertaining thereto) until such default is cured or waived or ceases to exist
or any such acceleration or demand for payment has been rescinded.

         In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment shall be
received by the Trustee when such payment is prohibited by the preceding
paragraph of this Section 15.4, such payment shall be held in trust for the
benefit of, and shall be paid over or delivered to, the holders of Senior Debt
or their respective representatives, or to the trustee or trustees under any
indenture pursuant to which any of such Senior Debt may have been issued, as
their respective interests may appear, but only to the extent that the holders
of the Senior Debt (or their representative or representatives or a trustee)
notify the Trustee in writing within 90 days of such payment of the amounts then
due and owing on the Senior Debt and only the amounts specified in such notice
to the Trustee shall be paid to the holders of Senior Debt.

         Section 15.5. PAYMENT PERMITTED IN CERTAIN SITUATIONS. Nothing
contained in this Article 15 or elsewhere in the Indenture or in any of the
Securities of any series (or any Coupons appertaining thereto) shall prevent (a)
the Company, at any time except during the pendency of any dissolution,
winding-up, liquidation or reorganization of the Company, whether voluntary or
involuntary or any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other proceedings of
the Company referred to in Section 15.2 or under the conditions described in
Section 15.3 or Section 15.4,

<PAGE>

                                                                               6

from making payments at any time of principal of, or premium, if any, or
interest on the Securities of such series, or (b) the application by the Trustee
of any money deposited with it hereunder to the payment of or on account of the
principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on the Securities of such series
(or any Coupons appertaining thereto) or the retention of such payment by the
Holders, if, at the time of such application by the Trustee, it did not have
knowledge that such payment would have been prohibited by the provisions of this
Article 15.

         Section 15.6. SUBROGATION TO RIGHTS OF HOLDERS OF SENIOR DEBT. Subject
to the payment in full of all Senior Debt or the provision for such payment in
cash or cash equivalents or otherwise in a manner satisfactory to the holders of
Senior Debt, the rights of the Holders of Securities of any series (or any
Coupons appertaining thereto) shall be subrogated to the extent of the payments
or distributions made to the holders of such Senior Debt pursuant to the
provisions of this Article 15 (equally and ratably with the holders of
indebtedness of the Company which by its express terms is subordinated to
indebtedness of the Company to substantially the same extent as the Securities
of such series (or any Coupons appertaining thereto) are subordinated to the
Senior Debt and is entitled to like rights of subrogation) to the rights of the
holders of such Senior Debt to receive payments and distributions of cash,
property and securities applicable to the Senior Debt until the principal of
(and premium, if any) and interest on the Securities of such series (or any
Coupons appertaining thereto) shall be paid in full. For purposes of such
subrogation, no payments or distributions to the holders of the Senior Debt of
any cash, property or securities to which the Holders of Securities of any
series (or any Coupons appertaining thereto) or the Trustee would be entitled
except for the provisions of this Article 15, and no payments over pursuant to
the provisions of this Article 15 to or for the benefit of the holders of Senior
Debt by Holders of Securities of such series (or any Coupons appertaining
thereto) or the Trustee shall, as among the Company, its creditors other than
holders of Senior Debt and the Holders of Securities of such series (or any
Coupons appertaining thereto), be deemed to be a payment or distribution by the
Company to or on account of the Senior Debt.

         Section 15.7. PROVISIONS SOLELY TO DEFINE RELATIVE RIGHTS. The
provisions of this Article 15 are and are intended solely for the purpose of
defining the relative rights of the Holders of Securities of any series (or any
Coupons appertaining thereto) on the one hand and the holders of Senior Debt on
the other hand. Nothing contained in this Article 15 or elsewhere in the
Indenture or in the Securities of such series (or any Coupons appertaining
thereto) is intended to or shall (a) impair, as among the Company, its creditors
other than holders of Senior Debt and the Holders of Securities of such series
(or any Coupons appertaining thereto), the obligation of the Company, which is
absolute and unconditional (and which, subject to the rights under this Article
15 of the holders of Senior Debt, is intended to rank equally with all other
general obligations of the Company), to pay to the Holders of Securities of such
series (or any Coupons appertaining thereto) the principal of (and premium, if
any) and interest on, the Securities of such series (or any Coupons appertaining
thereto) as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with
their terms; or (b) affect the relative rights against the Company of the
Holders of Securities of such series (or any Coupons appertaining thereto) and
creditors of the Company, as the case may be, other than the holders of Senior
Debt; or (c) prevent the Trustee or the Holder of any Securities of such series
(or any Coupons appertaining thereto) from exercising all remedies otherwise
permitted by applicable law upon default under this Indenture, subject to

<PAGE>

                                                                               7

the rights, if any, under this Article 15 of the holders of Senior Debt to
receive cash, property and securities otherwise payable or deliverable to the
Trustee or such Holder.

         Section 15.8. TRUSTEE TO EFFECTUATE SUBORDINATION. Each Holder of
Securities of any series (or any Coupons appertaining thereto) by such Holder's
acceptance thereof authorizes and directs the Trustee on such Holder's behalf to
take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the
subordination provided in this Article 15 and appoints the Trustee such Holder's
attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes.

         Section 15.9. NO WAIVER OF SUBORDINATION PROVISIONS. No right of any
present or future holder of any Senior Debt to enforce subordination as herein
provided shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or
failure to act on the part of the Company or by any act or failure to act, in
good faith, by any such holder, or by any noncompliance by the Company with the
terms, provisions and covenants of this Indenture, regardless of any knowledge
thereof any such holder may have or be otherwise charged with.

         Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing paragraph,
the holders of Senior Debt may, at any time and from time to time, without the
consent of or notice to the Trustee or the Holders of Securities of any series
(or any Coupons appertaining thereto), without incurring responsibility to the
Holders of Securities of such series (or any Coupons appertaining thereto) and
without impairing or releasing the subordination provided in this Article 15 or
the obligations hereunder of the Holders of Securities of such series (or any
Coupons appertaining thereto) to the holders of Senior Debt do any one or more
of the following: (a) change the manner, place or terms of payment or extend the
time of payment of, or renew or alter, Senior Debt or otherwise amend or
supplement in any manner Senior Debt or any instrument evidencing the same or
any agreement under which Senior Debt is outstanding; (b) sell, exchange,
release or otherwise deal with any property pledged, mortgaged or otherwise
securing Senior Debt; (c) release any Person liable in any manner for the
collection of Senior Debt, and (d) exercise or refrain from exercising any
rights against the Company and any other Person.

         Section 15.10. NOTICE TO TRUSTEE. The Company shall give prompt written
notice to a Responsible Trust Officer of the Trustee of any fact known to the
Company which would prohibit the making of any payment to or by the Trustee in
respect of any Securities of any series (or any Coupons appertaining thereto)
pursuant to the provisions of this Article 15. Notwithstanding the provisions of
this Article 15 or any other provision of the Indenture, the Trustee shall not
be charged with knowledge of the existence of any facts which would prohibit the
making of any payment to or by the Trustee in respect of any Securities of any
series (or any Coupons appertaining thereto) pursuant to the provisions of this
Article 15, unless and until a Responsible Trust Officer of the Trustee shall
have received written notice thereof from the Company or a holder or holders of
Senior Debt or from any trustee therefor; and, prior to the receipt of any such
written notice, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 7.3, shall be
entitled in all respects to assume that no such facts exist; provided, however,
that if the Trustee shall have not received the notice provided for in this
Section at least two Business Days prior to the date upon which by the terms
hereof any money may become payable for any purpose (including, without
limitation, the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on
any Securities of any series (or any Coupons appertaining thereto)), then,
anything herein

                                                                               8

contained to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall have full power and
authority to receive such moneys and to apply the same to the purposes for which
they were received, and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary that
may be received by it within two Business Days prior to such date.

         Subject to the provisions of Section 7.3, the Trustee shall be entitled
to rely on the delivery to it of a written notice by a Person representing
himself to be a holder of Senior Debt (or a trustee therefor) to establish that
such notice has been given by a holder of Senior Debt (or a trustee therefor).
In the event that the Trustee determines in good faith that further evidence is
required with respect to the right of any Person as a holder of Senior Debt to
participate in any payment or distribution pursuant to this Article 15, the
Trustee may request such Person to furnish evidence to the reasonable
satisfaction of the Trustee as to the amount of Senior Debt held by such Person,
the extent to which such Person is entitled to participate in such payment or
distribution and any other facts pertinent to the rights of such Person under
this Article 15, and if such evidence is not furnished, the Trustee may defer
any payment to such Person pending judicial determination as to the right of
such Person to receive such payment.

         Section 15.11. RELIANCE ON JUDICIAL ORDER OR CERTIFICATE OF LIQUIDATING
AGENT. Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Company referred to in
this Article 15, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 7.3, and the
Holders of Securities of any series (or any Coupons appertaining thereto) shall
be entitled to conclusively rely upon any order or decree entered by any court
of competent jurisdiction in which such insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership,
liquidation, reorganization, dissolution, winding up or similar case or
proceeding is pending, or a certificate of the trustee in bankruptcy, receiver,
liquidating trustee, custodian, assignee for the benefit of creditors, agent or
other Person making such payment or distribution, delivered to the Trustee or to
the Holders of Securities of such series (or any Coupons appertaining thereto),
for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such
payment or distribution, the holders of Senior Debt and other indebtedness of
the Company, as the case may be, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the
amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent
thereto or to this Article 15.

         Section 15.12. TRUSTEE NOT FIDUCIARY FOR HOLDERS OF SENIOR DEBT. With
respect to the holders of Senior Debt, the Trustee undertakes to perform or to
observe only such of its covenants and obligations as are specifically set forth
in this Article 15, and no implied covenants or obligations with respect to the
holders of such Senior Debt shall be read into the Indenture against the
Trustee. The Trustee shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the
holders of Senior Debt and shall not be liable to any such holders or creditors
if it shall in good faith pay over or distribute to Holders of Securities of any
series (or any Coupons appertaining thereto) or to the Company or to any other
Person cash, property or securities to which any holders of Senior Debt shall be
entitled by virtue of this Article 15 or otherwise.

         Section 15.13. RIGHTS OF TRUSTEE AS HOLDER OF SENIOR DEBT, PRESERVATION
OF TRUSTEE'S RIGHTS. The Trustee in its individual capacity shall be entitled to
all the rights set forth in this Article 15 with respect to any Senior Debt
which may at any time be held by it, to the same extent as any other holder of
Senior Debt and nothing in the Indenture shall deprive the Trustee of any of its
rights as such holder.

         Nothing in this Article 15 shall apply to claims of, or payments to,
the Trustee under or pursuant to Section 7.7.

         Section 15.14. ARTICLE APPLICABLE TO PAYING AGENTS. In case at any time
any Paying Agent other than the Trustee shall have been appointed by the Company
and be then acting hereunder, the term 'Trustee' as used in this Article 15
shall in such case (unless the context otherwise requires) be construed as
extending to and including such Paying Agent within its meaning as fully for all
intents and purposes as if such Paying Agent were named in this Article 15 in
addition to or in place of the Trustee; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that this Section
15.14 shall not apply to the Company or any Affiliate of the Company if it or
such Affiliate acts as Paying Agent.

pursuant to the terms set forth in an Officers' Certificate or established in
one or more indentures supplemental hereto in accordance with Section 2.2(b) and
10.1, shall not be deemed to constitute a payment or distribution on account of
the principal of or premium or interest on Securities of such series (or any
Coupons appertaining thereto) or on account of the purchase or other acquisition
of Securities of such series (or any Coupons appertaining thereto), and (b) the
payment, issuance or delivery of cash, property or securities (other than Junior

15 or elsewhere in the Indenture or in the Securities of any series (or any
Coupons appertaining thereto) is intended to or shall impair, as among the
Company, its creditors other than holders of Senior Debt and the Holders of
Securities of such series (or any Coupons appertaining thereto), the right,
which is absolute and unconditional, of the Holder of any Securities of such
series (or any Coupons appertaining thereto) to convert such Securities of such
series (or any Coupons appertaining thereto) in accordance with Article 16 and
the terms set forth in an Officers' Certificate or established in one or more
indentures supplemental hereto in accordance with Section 2.2(b) and 10.1.

         Section 15.16. FORM OF SUBORDINATED SECURITIES. The Securities

such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration
for the issue hereof, expressly waived and released.

         [Subject to and upon compliance with Article 16 of the Indenture, the
Holder of this Note has the right, exercisable at anytime prior to the date this
Note is called for redemption by the Company, if applicable, and subject to
limited exceptions specified in the Indenture, to convert the principal amount
hereof (or any portion thereof that is an integral multiple of the principal
amount of one Note) into that number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of
common stock, par value $1.00 (the "Common Stock"), of the Company obtained by
dividing the principal amount of the Notes to be converted by the conversion
price for such Note pursuant to the terms of the Indenture (the "Conversion
Price") in effect on the date set for the conversion of such Note (the
"Conversion Date") for such Note pursuant to the terms of the Indenture. The
initial Conversion Price is $____ per share of Common Stock. The Conversion
Price is subject to adjustment as described in the Indenture. All conversion
price and conversion provision calculations shall be made to the nearest 1/100
of a cent (with 1/200 of a cent being rounded upward) or to the nearest 1/10,000
of a share (with 1/200 of a share being rounded upward), as the case may be.

         To convert all or a portion of this Note, a Holder must (a) complete
and sign an irrevocable notice of election to convert substantially in the form
attached hereto as Schedule 1 (the "Conversion Notice") and deliver such
Conversion Notice to the Conversion Agent, (b) surrender the Note to the
Conversion Agent, (c) furnish appropriate endorsements or transfer documents if
required by the Conversion Agent and (d) pay any transfer or similar tax, if
required. Except as provided below, accrued but unpaid interest will not be paid
in cash on Notes that are converted by a Holder into Common Stock, nor will such
accrued interest be converted into additional shares of Common Stock, but such
accrued interest will be deemed to be paid in full and then returned by the
Holder to the Company as partial consideration for the Common Stock received
upon conversion. Holders of Notes at the close of business on a Regular Record
Date will be entitled to receive the interest payable on such Notes (except that
holders of Notes called for redemption on a redemption date between such record
date and the Interest Payment Date shall not be entitled to receive such
interest on such Interest Payment Date) on the corresponding Interest Payment
Date notwithstanding the conversion of such Notes following such Regular Record
Date and prior to such Interest Payment Date. However, Notes surrendered for
conversion during the period between the close of business on any regular record
date and the opening of business on the corresponding Interest Payment Date
(except Notes called for redemption on a redemption date during such period)
must be accompanied by payment of an amount equal to the interest payable on
such Notes on such Interest Payment Date. A Holder of Notes on a Regular Record
Date who (or whose transferee) tenders any such Notes for conversion into shares
of Common Stock on such Interest Payment Date will receive the interest payable
by the Company on such Notes on such date, and the converting Holder need not

include payment of the amount of such interest upon surrender of Notes for
conversion. The Company will make no payment or allowance for dividends on the
shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion.

         No fractional shares will be issued upon conversion but a cash payment
shall be made by the Company in lieu of such fractional interest. The
outstanding principal amount of any Note shall be reduced by the principal
amount thereof converted into shares of Common Stock or other shares of common
stock of the Company.

         The Company's delivery upon conversion of the fixed number of shares of
Common Stock of the Company into which the Notes are convertible (together with
cash in lieu of fractional shares) shall be deemed to satisfy the Company's
obligation to pay the principal amount at the stated maturity date, or at the
date of redemption, if any Notes are subject to redemption, of the portion of
Notes so converted and any unpaid interest accrued on such Notes at the time of
such conversion.](5)/

                  POLAROID CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (the
"Corporation"), HEREBY CERTIFIES that resolutions were duly adopted by the Board
of Directors of the Corporation (the "Board of Directors") pursuant to the
authority conferred upon the Board of Directors by the provisions of the

                  1. DESIGNATION AND AMOUNT; FRACTIONAL SHARES. The Board of
Directors and an Authorized Officer have authorized the issuance of a series of
preferred stock designated as the "_____ % [Cumulative] Preferred Stock, Series
_" (the "Series _ Preferred Stock"). The Series _ Preferred Stock shall be
perpetual and the authorized number of shares of Series _ Preferred Stock shall
be _____ million (__,000,000) shares. The Series _ Preferred Stock is issuable
in whole shares only. The form of certificate of the Series __ Preferred Stock
is attached hereto as Exhibit A.

                  2. DIVIDENDS. Holders of shares of Series _ Preferred Stock
shall be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors
or a duly authorized committee thereof out of assets of the Corporation legally
available for payment, [cumulative] cash dividends at the rate of ____% per
annum per share on the initial liquidation preference of $____ per share.
Dividends on the Series_ Preferred Stock shall be payable quarterly, in arrears
on _____, _____, ______, and ______ of each year, commencing _____, ____ (each a
"Dividend Payment Date"). If any date on which dividends would otherwise be
payable shall be or be declared a national or New York State holiday, or if
banking institutions in the State of New York shall be closed because of a
banking moratorium or otherwise on such date, then the Dividend Payment Date
shall be the next succeeding day on which such banks shall be open. Dividends on
shares of the Series _ Preferred Stock [shall be fully cumulative and] shall
accumulate (whether or not earned or declared), on a daily basis, without
interest, from the previous Dividend Payment Date, except that the first
dividend shall accumulate, without interest, from the date of initial issuance
of the Series _ Preferred Stock. Accumulated and unpaid dividends shall not bear
interest. Dividends shall be payable, in arrears, to holders of record as they
appear on the stock books of the Corporation on each record date, which shall be
the 15th day immediately preceding each such Dividend Payment Date (each of
which dates being a "Dividend Payment Record Date"). Dividends payable on the
Series _ Preferred Stock for the first dividend period and any partial dividend
period shall be computed on the basis of a 360 day year consisting of twelve
30-day months. Dividends shall cease to accumulate on the Series _ Preferred
Stock on the date of their earlier redemption pursuant to Section 6 below,
unless the Corporation shall default in providing funds for the payment of
redemption price on the shares called for redemption pursuant thereto.]

                  No dividends may be declared or paid or set apart for payment
on any Parity Preferred Stock (as defined in Section 8 below), with regard to
the payment of dividends unless there shall also be or have been declared and
paid or set apart for payment on the Series _ Preferred Stock, dividends for all
dividend payment periods of the Series _ Preferred Stock ending on or before the
dividend payment date of such Parity Preferred Stock, ratably in proportion to
the respective amounts of dividends (x) [accumulated and] unpaid or payable on
such Parity Preferred Stock, on the one hand, and (y) [accumulated and] unpaid
through the dividend payment period or periods of the Series _ Preferred Stock
next preceding such dividend payment date, on the other hand.

Corporation) may be paid or declared and set aside for payment or other
distribution made upon the common stock or on any other stock of the Corporation
ranking junior to or on a parity with the Series _ Preferred Stock as to
dividends, nor may any common stock or any other stock of the Corporation
ranking junior to or on a parity with the Series _ Preferred Stock as to
dividends be redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired for any consideration (or
any payment be made to or available for a sinking fund for the redemption of any
shares of such stock; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that any moneys theretofore deposited
in any sinking fund with respect to any preferred stock of the Corporation in
compliance with the provisions of such sinking fund may thereafter be applied to
the purchase or redemption of such preferred stock in accordance with the terms
of such sinking fund, regardless of whether at the time of such application full
[cumulative] dividends upon shares of Series _ Preferred Stock outstanding to
the last dividend payment date shall have been paid or declared and set apart
for payment) by the Corporation; PROVIDED that any such junior or parity stock
or common stock may be converted into or exchanged for stock of the Corporation
ranking junior to the Series _ Preferred Stock as to dividends.

                  3. LIQUIDATION PREFERENCE. The shares of Series _ Preferred
Stock shall rank, as to liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
Corporation, prior to the shares of common stock and any other stock of the
Corporation ranking junior to the Series _ Preferred Stock as to rights upon
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, so that in the event
of any liquidation, or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or
involuntary, the holders of the Series _ Preferred Stock shall be entitled to
receive out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its
stockholders, whether from capital, surplus or earnings, before any distribution
is made to holders of shares of common stock or any other such junior stock, an
amount equal to $_____ per share (the "Liquidation Preference" of a share of
Series _ Preferred Stock) plus an amount equal to all dividends (whether or not
earned or declared) accrued and accumulated and unpaid on the shares of Series _
Preferred Stock to the date of final distribution. The holders of the Series _
Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to receive the Liquidation Preference
until the liquidation preference of any other stock of the Corporation ranking
senior to the Series _ Preferred Stock as to rights upon liquidation,
dissolution or winding up shall have been paid (or a sum set aside therefor
sufficient to proceeds for payment) in full. After payment of the full amount of
the Liquidation Preference and such dividends, the holders of shares of Series _
Preferred Stock will not be entitled to any further participation in any of
assets by the Corporation. If, upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up
of the Corporation, the assets of the Corporation, or provide thereof,
distributable among the holders of shares of Parity Preferred Stock shall be
insufficient to pay in full the preferential amount aforesaid, then such assets,
or the proceeds thereof, shall be distributable among such holders ratably in
accordance with the respective amounts which would be payable on such shares if
all amounts payable thereon were paid in full. For the purposes hereof, neither
a consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into any other corporation,
nor a merger of any other corporation with or into the Corporation, nor a sale
or transfer of all or any part of the Corporation's assets shall be considered a
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation.

                  (a) CONVERSION RIGHT AND PRICE. Subject to and upon compliance
with the provisions of this Section 4, each holder of Series __ Preferred Stock
shall have the right, at each such holder's option, at any time, to convert any
or all of the shares of Series __ Preferred Stock held by each such holder into
the number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock (calculated
as to each conversion, for the purpose of determining the amount of any cash
payments provided for under subsection (c) of this Section 4, to the nearest
1/100 of a share of Common Stock, with 1/200 of a share of Common Stock being
rounded upward) obtained by dividing the liquidation preference of a share of
Series __ Preferred Stock by the Conversion Price (as defined below) and
multiplying such resulting number by the number of shares of Series __ Preferred
Stock to be converted, and by surrender of such shares of Series __ Preferred
Stock so to be converted, such surrender to be made in the manner provided in
subsection (b) of this Section 4; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the right to convert
shares called for redemption pursuant to Section 6 shall terminate at the close
of business on the date fixed for such redemption unless the Corporation shall
default in making payment of the amount payable upon such redemption.

                  For purposes of this Section 4, the term "Common Stock" shall
(1) mean the Common Stock of the Corporation, par value $1.00 per share, as the
same exists at the date of this Certificate of Designations, Powers, Preferences
and Rights (this "Certificate of Designations") or as such stock may be
constituted from time to time, except that for purposes of subsection (e) of
this Section 4, and (2) shall also mean and include stock of the Corporation of
any class, whether now or hereafter authorized, which shall have the right to
participate in the distribution of either earnings or assets of the Corporation
without limit as to amount or percentage.

                  The term "Conversion Price" shall mean $_____, as adjusted in
accordance with the provisions of this Section 4.

                  (b) CONVERSION PROCEDURES; SURRENDER; ETC. In order to
exercise the conversion privilege of this Section 4, the holder of each share of
Series __ Preferred Stock to be converted shall surrender the certificate
representing such share at the office of the Conversion Agent for the Series __
Preferred Stock in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, New York,
appointed for such purpose by the Corporation, with the Notice of Election to
Convert on the back of such certificate completed and signed. Unless the shares
issuable on conversion are to be issued in the same name as the name in which
such share of Series __ Preferred Stock is registered, each share surrendered
for conversion shall be accompanied by instruments of transfer, in form
satisfactory to the Corporation, duly executed by the holder or the holder's
duly authorized attorney, and by an amount sufficient to pay any transfer or
similar tax.

                  The holders of shares of Series __ Preferred Stock at the
close of business on a Dividend Payment Record Date shall be entitled to receive
the dividend payable on such shares (except that holders of shares called for
redemption on a redemption date between such record date and the Dividend
Payment Date shall not be entitled to receive such dividend on such Dividend
Payment Date) on the corresponding Dividend Payment Date, notwithstanding the
conversion thereof or the Corporation's default in payment of the dividend due
on such Dividend Payment Date. However, shares of Series __ Preferred Stock
surrendered for conversion during

the period between the close of business on any Dividend Payment Record Date and
the opening of business on the corresponding Dividend Payment Date (except
shares called for redemption on a redemption date during such period) must be
accompanied by payment of an amount equal to the dividend payable on such shares
on such Dividend Payment Date. A holder of shares of Series __Preferred Stock on
a Dividend Payment Record Date who (or whose transferee) tenders any of such
shares for conversion into shares of Common Stock on a Dividend Payment Date
will receive the dividend payable by the Corporation on such shares of Series __
Preferred Stock on such date, and the converting holder need not include payment
in the amount of such dividend upon surrender of shares of Series __ Preferred
Stock for conversion. Except as provided above, the Corporation shall make no
payment or allowance for unpaid dividends, whether or not in arrears, on
converted shares or for dividends on the shares of Common Stock issued upon such
conversion.

                  As promptly as practicable after the surrender of the
certificates for shares of Series __ Preferred Stock as aforesaid, the
Corporation shall issue and shall deliver at the office of the Conversion Agent
to such holder, or on such holder's written order, a certificate or certificates
for the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of
such shares in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4, and any
fractional interest in respect of a share of Common Stock arising upon such
conversion shall be settled as provided in subsection (c) of this Section 4.

                  Each conversion shall be deemed to have been effected
immediately prior to the close of business on the date on which the certificates
for shares of Series __ Preferred Stock shall have been surrendered and such
notice (and, if applicable, payment of an amount equal to the dividend payable
on such shares) received by the Corporation as aforesaid, and the person or
persons in whose name or names any certificate or certificates for shares of
Common Stock shall be issuable upon such conversion shall be deemed to have
become the holder or holders of record of the shares represented thereby at such
time on such date, and such conversion shall be at the Conversion Price in
effect at such time on such date, unless the stock transfer books of the
Corporation shall be closed on such date, in which event such person or persons
shall be deemed to have become such holder or holders of record at the close of
business on the next succeeding day on which such stock transfer books are open,
but such conversion shall be at the Conversion Price in effect on the date upon
which such shares shall have been surrendered and such notice (and, if
applicable, payment) received by the Corporation. All shares of Common Stock
delivered upon conversion of the Series __ Preferred Stock will upon delivery be
duly and validly issued and fully paid and non-assessable, free of all liens and
charges and not subject to any preemptive rights.

                  (c) In connection with the conversion of any shares of Series
__ Preferred Stock, no fractional shares or scrip representing fractions of
shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of Series __ Preferred
Stock. Instead of any fractional interest in a share of Common Stock which would
otherwise be deliverable upon the conversion of a share of Series __ Preferred
Stock or a fraction thereof, the Corporation shall pay to the holder of such
share of Series __ Preferred Stock or fraction thereof an amount in cash
(computed to the nearest cent, with one-half cent being rounded upward) equal to
the reported last sale price (as defined in

<PAGE>

                                                                              6

paragraph (d)(ii) of this Section 4) of the Common Stock on the Trading Day (as
defined in paragraph (d)(ii) of this Section 4) next preceding the day of
conversion multiplied by the fraction of a share of Common Stock represented by
such fractional interest. If more than one share of Series __ Preferred Stock
shall be surrendered for conversion at one time by the same holder, the number
of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof shall be
computed on the basis of the aggregate liquidation preference of the shares of
Series __ Preferred Stock so surrendered.

                  (d) CONVERSION PRICE ADJUSTMENT. The Conversion Price shall be
adjusted from time to time as follows:

                  (i) In case the Corporation shall (x) pay a dividend or make a
         distribution on the Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, (y)
         subdivide the outstanding Common Stock into a greater number of shares
         or (z) combine the outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of
         shares, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the holder of
         any share of Series __ Preferred Stock thereafter surrendered for
         conversion shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common
         Stock of the Corporation which such holder would have owned or have
         been entitled to receive after the happening of any of the events
         described above had such share been converted immediately prior to the
         Dividend Payment Record Date in the case of a dividend or the effective
         date in the case of subdivision or combination. An adjustment made
         pursuant to this paragraph (i) shall become effective immediately after
         the Dividend Payment Record Date in the case of a dividend, except as
         provided in paragraph (v) below, and shall become effective immediately
         after the effective date in the case of a subdivision or combination.

                  (ii) For the purpose of any computation pursuant to this
         Section 4, the current market price per share of Common Stock on any
         date shall be deemed to be the average of the reported last sale prices
         for the 30 consecutive Trading Days (as defined below) commencing 45
         Trading Days before the date in question. The reported last sale price
         for each day (for purposes of paragraph (c)) shall be the reported last
         sale price, regular way, or, in case no sale takes place on such day,
         the average of the reported closing bid and asked prices, regular way,
         in either case as reported on the New York Stock Exchange Composite
         Tape.

                           As used herein, the term Trading Day with respect to
         Common Stock means (x) if the Common Stock is listed or admitted for
         trading on the New York Stock Exchange or another national securities
         exchange, a day on which the New York Stock Exchange or such other
         national securities exchange is open for business, (y) if the Common
         Stock is quoted on the National Market System of NASDAQ, a day on which
         trades may be made on such National Market System or (z) otherwise, any
         day other than a Saturday or Sunday or a day on which banking
         institutions in the State of New York are authorized or obligated by
         law or executive order to close.

                  (iii) No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required
         unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at
         least 1% in such price; PROVIDED,

<PAGE>

                                                                              7

         HOWEVER, that any adjustments which by reason of this paragraph (iii)
         are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into
         account in any subsequent adjustment; and PROVIDED FURTHER that
         adjustment shall be required and made in accordance with the provisions
         of this Section 4 (other than this paragraph (iii)) not later than such
         time as may be required in order to preserve the tax free nature of a
         distribution to the holders of Common Stock. All calculations under
         this Section 4 shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest
         1/100 of a share, as the case may be, with one-half cent and 1/200 of a
         share, respectively, being rounded upward. Anything in this subsection
         (d) to the contrary notwithstanding, the Corporation shall be entitled
         to make such reductions in the Conversion Price, in addition to those
         required by this subsection (d), as it in its discretion shall
         determine to be advisable in order that any stock dividend, subdivision
         of shares, or distribution of other assets (other than cash dividends)
         hereafter made by the Corporation to its shareholders shall not be
         taxable.

                  (iv) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein
         provided, the Corporation shall promptly file with the Conversion Agent
         an officers' certificate, signed by the Chairman, the President or any
         Vice President, and by the Treasurer, an Assistant Treasurer, the
         Secretary, or an Assistant Secretary of the Corporation, setting forth
         the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief
         statement of the facts requiring such adjustment, which certificate
         shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment.
         Promptly after delivery of such certificate, the Corporation shall
         prepare a notice of such adjustment of the Conversion Price setting
         forth the adjusted Conversion Price and the date on which such
         adjustment becomes effective and shall mail such notice of such
         adjustment of the Conversion Price to the holders of shares of Series
         __ Preferred Stock at their addresses as shown on the stock books of
         the Corporation.

                  (v) In any case in which this subsection (d) provides that an
         adjustment shall become effective immediately after a record date for
         an event, the Corporation may defer until the occurrence of such event
         (x) issuing to the holder of any share of Series __ Preferred Stock
         converted after such record date and before the occurrence of such
         event the additional shares of Common Stock issuable upon such
         conversion by reason of the adjustment required by such event over and
         above the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion before giving
         effect to such adjustment and (y) paying to such holder any amount in
         cash in lieu of any fractional share of Common Stock pursuant to
         subsection (c) of this Section 4.

         (e)      If:

                  (i)      the Corporation shall declare a dividend (or any
                           other distribution) on the Common Stock (other than
                           in cash out of retained earnings);

                  (ii)     there shall be any reclassification or change of the
                           Common Stock (other than a subdivision or combination
                           of the outstanding Common Stock and

<PAGE>

                                                                              8

                           other than a change in the par value or from par
                           value to no par value or from no par value to par
                           value), or any consolidation, merger, or statutory
                           share exchange to which the Corporation is a party
                           and for which approval of any shareholders of the
                           Corporation is required, or any sale or transfer of
                           all or substantially all the assets of the
                           Corporation as an entirety or any Fundamental Change;
                           or

                  (iii)    there shall be a voluntary or involuntary
                           dissolution, liquidation, or winding up of the
                           Corporation;

then the Corporation shall cause to be filed with the Conversion Agent and shall
cause to be mailed to the holders of shares of the Series __ Preferred Stock at
their addresses as shown on the stock books of the Corporation, at least 10 days
prior to the applicable date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the
date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend,
distribution, or granting of rights 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, or rights or warrants are to be determined, or
(y) the date on which such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger,
statutory share exchange, sale, transfer, Fundamental Change, 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 or other property
deliverable upon such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, statutory
share exchange, sale, transfer, Fundamental Change, dissolution, liquidation, or
winding up. Failure to give such notice or any defect therein shall not affect
the legality or validity of the proceedings described in subsection (h) of this
Section 4 or in paragraph (d)(i) of this Section 4.

                  The term "Fundamental Change" means the occurrence of any
transaction or event in connection with which all or substantially all the
Common Stock shall be exchanged for, converted into, or acquired for, or shall
constitute solely the right to receive, cash, securities, property, or other
assets (whether by means of an exchange offer, liquidation, tender offer,
consolidation, merger, combination, reclassification, recapitalization or
otherwise). In the case of a plan involving more than one such transaction or
event, for purposes of adjustment of the Conversion Price, such Fundamental
Change shall be deemed to have occurred when substantially all the Common Stock
shall have been exchanged for, converted into, or acquired for, or shall
constitute solely the right to receive, such cash, securities, property, or
other assets, but the adjustment shall be based upon the consideration that the
holders of Common Stock received in the transaction or event as a result of
which more than 50% of the Common Stock shall have been exchanged for, converted
into, or acquired for, or shall constitute solely the right to receive, such
cash, securities, property, or other assets.

                  (f)      COVENANTS AND AGREEMENTS.  (i) The Corporation
covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available, free from
preemptive rights, out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued shares of
Common Stock, for the purpose of effecting conversions of the Series __
Preferred Stock, the full number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon the
conversion of all outstanding shares of Series __ Preferred Stock not
theretofore converted. For

                                                                              9

purposes of this subsection (f), the number of shares of Common Stock which
shall be deliverable upon the conversion of all outstanding shares of Series __
Preferred Stock shall be computed as if at the time of computation all such
outstanding shares were held by a single holder.

                  (ii)     Before taking any action which would cause any
                           adjustment reducing the Conversion Price below the
                           then par value, if any, of the shares of Common Stock
                           deliverable upon conversion of the Series __
                           Preferred Stock, the Corporation will take any
                           corporate action which may, in the opinion of its
                           counsel, be necessary in order that the Corporation
                           may validly and legally issue fully paid and
                           non-assessable shares of Common Stock at such
                           adjusted Conversion Price.

                  (iii)    The Corporation will endeavor to list the shares of
                           Common Stock required to be delivered upon conversion
                           of the Series __ Preferred Stock prior to such
                           delivery upon each national securities exchange, if
                           any, upon which the outstanding Common Stock is
                           listed at the time of such delivery.

                  (iv)     Prior to the delivery of any securities which the
                           Corporation shall be obligated to deliver upon
                           conversion of the Series __ Preferred Stock, the
                           Corporation will endeavor to comply with all federal
                           and state laws and regulations thereunder requiring
                           the registration of such securities with, or any
                           approval of or consent to the delivery thereof by,
                           any governmental authority.

                  (g) TAXES. The Corporation will pay any and all documentary
stamp or similar issue or transfer taxes payable in respect of the issue or
delivery of shares of Common Stock on conversions of the Series __ Preferred
Stock pursuant hereto; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Corporation shall not be
required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved
in the issue or delivery of shares of Common Stock in a name other than that of
the holder of the Series __ Preferred Stock to be converted and no such issue or
delivery shall be made unless and until the person requesting such issue or
delivery has paid to the Corporation the amount of any such tax or has
established, to the satisfaction of the Corporation, that such tax has been
paid.]

                  5. VOTING RIGHTS. The Series _ Preferred Stock, except as
provided herein or as otherwise from time to time required by law, shall have no
voting rights. Whenever, at any time or times, dividends payable on the shares
of Series _ Preferred Stock or on any Parity Preferred Stock shall be in arrears
for an aggregate number of days equal to [six] calendar quarters or more,
whether or not consecutive, the authorized number of directors of the
Corporation shall automatically be increased by [two] and the holders of the
Series _ Preferred Stock shall have the right, with holders of shares of any one
or more other classes or series of Parity Preferred Stock outstanding at the
time upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable
("Voting Parity Stock"), voting together as a class, to elect [two] directors
(hereinafter the"Preferred Directors" and each a "Preferred Director") to fill
such newly created directorships at the Corporation's next annual meeting of
stockholders and at each subsequent annual meeting of stockholders until such
arrearages have been paid or set aside for payment, at which time such right
shall terminate, except as herein or by law expressly provided, subject to
revesting in the event of each and every subsequent default of the character
above mentioned. Upon any termination of the right of the holders of shares of
Series _ Preferred Stock and Voting Parity Stock as a class to vote for
directors as provided above, the term of office of all Preferred Directors then
in office shall terminate immediately and the authorized number of directors
shall be reduced by the number of Preferred Directors elected pursuant hereto.
Any Preferred Director may be removed at any time, with or without cause. Any
vacancy created thereby may be filled only by the affirmative vote of the
holders of shares of Series _ Preferred Stock voting separately as a class
(together with the holders of shares of Voting Parity Stock). If the office of
any Preferred Director becomes vacant for any reason other than removal from
office as aforesaid, the remaining Director may choose a successor who shall
hold office for the unexpired term in respect of which such vacancy occurred. At
elections for such directors, each holder of shares of Series _ Preferred Stock
shall be entitled to one vote for each share held; the holders of shares of any
other class or Series of Voting Parity Stock being entitled to such number of
votes, if any, each share of such stock held as may be granted to them.

                  So long as any shares of any Series _ Preferred Stock remain
outstanding, the Corporation shall not, without the affirmative vote of the
holders of at least a majority of the shares of such Series _ Preferred Stock
(i) authorize, create or issue any capital stock of the Corporation ranking, as
to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, prior to such
Series _ Preferred Stock, or reclassify any authorized capital stock of Polaroid
into any such shares of such capital stock or issue any obligation or security
convertible into or evidencing the right to purchase any such shares of capital
stock, or (ii) amend, alter or repeal this Certificate of Designations for such
Series _ Preferred Stock, or the Restated Certificate of Incorporation, whether
by merger, consolidation or otherwise, so as to adversely affect the powers,
preferences or special rights of such Series _ Preferred Stock. Any increase in
the amount of authorized common stock or authorized preferred stock, or any
increase or decrease in the number of shares of any series of preferred stock or
the authorization, creation and issuance of other classes or series of common
stock or other stock, in each case ranking on a parity with or junior to the
shares of Series _ Preferred Stock with respect to the payment of dividends and
the distribution of assets upon liquidation, or winding up, shall not be deemed
to adversely affect such powers, preferences or special rights.

                                                                             11

                  The foregoing voting provisions shall not apply if, at or
prior to the time when the act with respect to which such vote would otherwise
be required or upon which the holders of Series _ Preferred Stock shall be
entitled to vote shall be effected, all outstanding shares of Series _ Preferred
Stock shall have been redeemed or called for redemption and sufficient funds
shall have been deposited in trust to effect such redemption.

                  6. REDEMPTION. The shares of Series _ Preferred Stock shall
not be redeemable prior to _________, ____ on and after such date, the
Corporation, at its option, may redeem shares of the Series _ Preferred Stock,
as a whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, at a redemption price
equal to $____ per share, plus, in each case, an amount equal to all dividends
(whether or not earned or declared) and accumulated and unpaid to, but
excluding, the date fixed for redemption.

                  The holders of shares of Series _ Preferred Stock at the close
of business on a Dividend Payment Record Date shall be entitled to receive the
dividend payable on such shares on the corresponding Dividend Payment Date
notwithstanding the call for redemption thereof (except that holders of shares
called for redemption on a date occurring between such Record Date and the
Dividend Payment Date shall not be entitled to receive such dividend on such
Dividend Payment Date) or the Corporation's default in payment of the dividend
due on such Dividend Payment Date.

                  In the event that fewer than all the outstanding shares of
Series _ Preferred Stock are to be redeemed, the number of shares to be redeemed
shall be determined by the Board of Directors and the shares to be redeemed
shall be selected pro rata (as nearly as may be practicable without creating
fractional shares) or by any other means determined by the Board of Directors in
its sole discretion to be equitable, except the Corporation may redeem all
shares held by any holders of a number of shares not to exceed 100, including
all shares held by holders who, after giving effect to such redemption, would
hold less than 100 shares, as may be specified by the Corporation.

                  If full [cumulative] dividends on the Series _ Preferred Stock
have not been paid, the Series _ Preferred Stock may not be redeemed in part and
the Corporation may not purchase or acquire any shares of the Series _ Preferred
Stock otherwise than pursuant to a purchase or exchange offer made on the same
terms to all holders of the Series _ Preferred Stock.

                  In the event the Corporation shall redeem shares of Series _
Preferred Stock, written notice of such redemption shall be given by first class
mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days prior
to the redemption date, to each holder of record of the shares to be redeemed at
such holder's address as the same appears on the stock books of the Corporation;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no failure to give such notice nor any defect therein
shall affect the validity of the proceeding for the redemption of any shares of
Series _ Preferred Stock to be redeemed except as to the holder to whom the
Corporation has failed to mail said notice or except as to the holder whose
notice was defective. Each such notice shall state: (a) the redemption date; (b)
the number of shares of Series _ Preferred Stock to be redeemed and, if less
than all the shares held by such holder are to be redeemed from such holder, the
number of shares

<PAGE>

                                                                             12

to be redeemed from such holder; (c) the redemption price and any number of
[accumulated and] unpaid dividends to the redemption date; (d) the place or
places where certificates for such shares are to be surrendered for payment of
the redemption price; and (e) that dividends on the shares to be redeemed will
cease to accrue on such redemption date (unless the Corporation shall default in
providing funds for the payment of the redemption price of the shares called for
redemption at the time and place specified in such notice).

                  If a notice of redemption has been given pursuant to this
Paragraph 6 and if, on or before the date fixed for redemption, the funds
necessary for such redemption shall have been set aside by the Corporation,
separate and apart from its other funds, in trust for the pro rata benefit of
the holders of the shares of Series _ Preferred Stock so called for redemption,
then, notwithstanding that any certificates for such shares have not been
surrendered for cancellation, on the redemption date dividends shall cease to
accrue on the shares to be redeemed, and at the close of business on the
redemption date the holders of such shares shall cease to be stockholders with
respect to such shares and shall have no interest in or claims against the
Corporation by virtue thereof and shall have no voting or other rights with
respect to such shares, except the right to receive the moneys payable upon
surrender (and endorsement, if required by the Corporation) of their
certificates, and the shares evidenced thereby shall no longer be outstanding.
The Corporation's obligation to provide funds for the payment of the redemption
price (and any [accumulated and] unpaid dividends to the redemption date) of the
shares called for redemption shall be deemed fulfilled if, on or before a
redemption date, the Corporation shall deposit, with a bank or trust company, or
an affiliate of a bank or trust company, having an office or agency in New York
City and having a capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000, such funds
sufficient to pay the redemption price (and any [accumulated and] unpaid
dividends to the redemption date) of the shares called for redemption, in trust
for the account of the holders of the shares to be redeemed (and so as to be and
continue to be available therefor), irrevocable instructions and authority to
such bank or trust company that such funds be delivered upon redemption of the
shares of Series _ Preferred Stock so called for redemption.

                  Subject to applicable escheat laws, any moneys so set aside by
the Corporation and unclaimed at the end of two years from the redemption date
