          (c) The ownership of Securities shall be proved by the Security
Register. As to any matter relating to beneficial ownership interests in any
Global Security, the appropriate depositary's records shall be dispositive for
purposes of this Indenture.

          (d) The ownership of Bearer Securities may be proved by the production
of such Bearer Securities or by a certificate executed, as depositary, by any
trust company, bank, banker or other depositary, wherever situated, if such
certificate shall be deemed by the Trustee to be satisfactory, showing that at
the date therein mentioned such Person had on deposit with such depositary, or
exhibited to it, the Bearer Securities therein described; or such facts may be
proved by the certificate or affidavit of the Person holding such Bearer
Securities, if such certificate or affidavit is deemed by the Trustee to be
satisfactory. The Trustee and the Company may assume that such ownership of any
Bearer Security continues until (1) another certificate or affidavit bearing a
later date issued in respect of the same Bearer Security is produced, or (2)
such Bearer Security is produced to the Trustee by some other Person, or (3)
such Bearer Security is surrendered in exchange for a Security, or (4) such
Bearer Security is no longer Outstanding. The ownership of Bearer Securities may
also be proved in any other manner which the Trustee deems sufficient.

          (e) The Company may fix any day as the record date for the purpose of
determining the Holders of Securities of any series entitled to give or take any
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other
action, or to vote on any action, authorized or permitted to be given or taken
by Holders of Securities of such series. If not set by the Company prior to the
first solicitation of a Holder of Securities of such series made by any Person
in respect of any such action, or, in the case of any such vote, prior to such
vote, the record date for any such action or vote shall be the 30th day (or, if
later, the date of the most recent list of Holders required to be provided
pursuant to Section 7.01) prior to such first solicitation or vote, as the case
may be. With regard to any record date for action to be taken by the Holders of
one or more series of Securities, only the Holders of Securities of such series
on such date (or their duly designated proxies) shall be entitled to give or
take, or vote on, the relevant action.

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

     SECTION 1.05 NOTICES, ETC., TO TRUSTEE AND COMPANY.

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

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

                                       12
<Page>

     Officer of the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office, Attention: [Corporate
     Trust Administration];

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

          (3) either the Trustee or the Company, by the other party, shall be
     sufficient for every purpose hereunder if given by facsimile transmission,
     receipt confirmed by telephone followed by an original copy delivered by
     guaranteed overnight courier; if to the Trustee at facsimile number
     [__________]; and if to the Company at facsimile number [__________].

     SECTION 1.06 NOTICE TO HOLDERS; WAIVER.

Where this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of any event, such notice
shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in
writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder affected by such
event, at his address as it appears in the Security Register, not later than the
latest date, if any, and not earlier than the earliest date, if any, prescribed
for the giving of such notice. In any case where notice to Holders is given by
mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so
mailed, to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice
with respect to other Holders or the sufficiency of any notice to Holders of
Bearer Securities given as provided herein. Any notice mailed to a Holder in the
manner herein prescribed shall be conclusively deemed to have been received by
such Holder, whether or not such Holder actually receives such notice.

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

     Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or otherwise specified with
respect to any Securities pursuant to Section 3.01, where this Indenture
provides for notice to Holders of Bearer Securities of any event, such notice
shall be sufficiently given if published in an Authorized Newspaper in the City
of New York and in such other city or cities as may be specified in such
Securities on a Business Day, such publication to be not later than the latest
date, if any, and not earlier than the earliest date, if any, prescribed for the
giving of such notice. Any such notice shall be deemed to have been given on the
date of such publication or, if published more than once, on the date of the
first such publication.

     If by reason of the suspension of publication of any Authorized Newspaper
or Authorized Newspapers or by reason of any other cause it shall be
impracticable to publish any notice to Holders of Bearer Securities as provided
above, then such notification to Holders of Bearer Securities as shall be given
with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute sufficient notice to

                                       13
<Page>

such Holders for every purpose hereunder. Neither the failure to give notice by
publication to any particular Holder of Bearer Securities as provided above, nor
any defect in any notice so published, shall affect the sufficiency of such
notice with respect to other Holders of Bearer Securities or the sufficiency of
any notice to Holders of Registered Securities given as provided herein.

     Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver
required or permitted under this Indenture shall be in the English language,
except that any published notice may be in an official language of the country
of publication.

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

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

     SECTION 1.07 COMPLIANCE WITH TRUST INDENTURE ACT.

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

     SECTION 1.08 EFFECT OF HEADINGS AND TABLE OF CONTENTS.

     The Article and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for

in any case where any Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date, Repayment Date or
Stated Maturity of any Security or the last date on which a Holder has the right
to convert or exchange a Security shall not be a Business Day at any Place of
Payment, then (notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or of the
Securities other than a provision in the Securities of any series which
specifically states that such provision shall apply in lieu hereof) payment of
interest or principal (and premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any) or conversion
or exchange of such security need not be made at such Place of Payment on such
date, but (except as otherwise provided in the supplemental indenture with

such Place of Payment with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest
Payment Date, Redemption Date, sinking fund payment date, at Maturity or at the
Stated Maturity, or the last date on which a Holder has the right to convert or
exchange a Security provided that no interest shall accrue for the period from
and after such Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date, Repayment Date, or Stated
Maturity, as the case may be.

OF THE COMPANY.

in this Indenture, or in any Security, or because of any indebtedness evidenced
thereby, shall be had against any past, present or future stockholder, employee,
officer or director, as such, of the Company or of any successor, either
directly or through the Company or any successor, under any rule of law, statute
or constitutional provision or by the enforcement of any assessment or by any
legal or equitable proceeding or otherwise, all such liability being expressly
waived and released by the acceptance of the Securities by the Holders and as
part of the consideration for the issue of the Securities.

     SECTION 1.15 CONFLICT WITH THE TRUST INDENTURE ACT.

         If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with another
provision hereof which is required or deemed to be included in this Indenture by
any of the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act, such required provision shall
control. If any provision of this Indenture modifies or excludes any

                                       15
<Page>

provision of the Trust Indenture Act that may be so modified or excluded, the
latter provision shall be deemed to apply to this Indenture as so modified or to
be excluded, as the case may be.

     SECTION 1.16 COUNTERPARTS.

     This Indenture may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which
so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall

such interest shall be legally enforceable), which shall accrue from the date of
such default in payment to the date payment of such principal has been made or
duly provided for. Interest on any overdue principal shall be payable on demand.
Any such interest on any overdue principal that is not so paid on demand shall
bear interest at the rate of ____% per annum (to the extent that the payment of
such interest shall be legally enforceable), which shall accrue from the date of
such demand for payment to the date payment of such interest has been made or
duly provided for, and such interest shall also be payable on demand.]

     Payment of the principal of (and premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any) and
[if applicable, insert: any such] interest on this Security will be made at the
office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in ________________,

interest may be made by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled
thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register].

forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes
have the same effect as if set forth at this place.

     SECTION 2.03 FORM OF REVERSE OF SECURITY.

     This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the
Company (herein called the "Securities"), issued and to be issued in one or more
series under an Indenture, dated as of ________ __, 2002 (herein called the
"Indenture"), between the Company and __________________, as Trustee (herein
called the "Trustee," which term includes any successor trustee under the
Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference
is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights,
duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee, the holders of
Senior Indebtedness and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon
which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This
Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof [, limited in
aggregate principal amount to [$]_____________]. By the terms of the Indenture,
additional Securities [if applicable, insert: of this series and] of other
separate series, which may vary as to date, amount, Stated Maturity, interest
rate or method of calculating the interest rate and in other respects as therein
provided, may be issued in an unlimited principal amount.

     The Indebtedness evidenced by the Securities is, to the extent and in the
manner provided in the Indenture referred to above, subordinate and subject in
right of payment to the prior payment in full of the principal of (and premium
or Make-Whole Amount, if any), and interest on all Senior Indebtedness of the
Company, as defined in the Indenture, and each Holder of this Security, by
accepting the same, agrees to and shall be bound by the provisions of the
Indenture and authorizes and directs the Trustee on his behalf to take such
action as may be necessary or

                                       18
<Page>

appropriate to acknowledge or effectuate the subordination of this Security as
provided in the Indenture and appoints the Trustee his or her attorney-in-fact
for any and all such purposes.

     The indebtedness evidenced by this Security is issued subject to the
provisions of the Indenture regarding payments to creditors in respect of
General Obligations (as defined in the Indenture). In particular, the Indenture
provides that if upon the occurrence of certain events of bankruptcy or
insolvency relating to the Company, there remains, after giving effect to the
subordination provisions referred to in the preceding paragraph, any amount of
cash, property or securities available for payment or distribution in respect of
Securities (as defined in the Indenture, "Excess Proceeds"), and if, at such
time, any creditors in respect of General Obligations have not received payment
in full of all amounts due or to become due on or in respect of such General
Obligations, then such Excess Proceeds shall first be applied to pay or provide
for the payment in full of such General Obligations before any payment or
distribution may be made in respect of Securities. This paragraph shall
immediately and automatically terminate, be null and void ab initio and have no
further effect upon the occurrence of a Termination Event (as defined in the
Indenture).'

     [If applicable, insert: [The Securities of this series are/This Security
is] subject to redemption prior to the Stated Maturity hereof upon not less than
30 days' notice by mail to the Person[s] in whose name[s] [the Securities to be
redeemed are/this Security is] registered at the address specified in the
Security Register, [if applicable, insert: (1) on ____________________ in any
year commencing with the year ________ and ending with the year __________

equal to 100% of the principal amount, and (2)] at any time [on or after
____________________], as a whole or in part, at the election of the Company, at
the following Redemption Prices (expressed as percentages of the principal
amount): If redeemed [on or before ____________________, ____%, and if redeemed]

refunding operation by the application, directly or indirectly, of moneys

otherwise than through [mandatory] sinking fund payments may be credited against

     SECTION 2.05 FORM OF LEGEND FOR GLOBAL SECURITIES.

If Securities of or within a series are issuable in the form of one or more
Global Securities, then, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.02, any
such Global Security or Securities may provide that it or they shall represent
the aggregate amount of all Outstanding Securities of such series (or such
lesser amount as is permitted by the terms thereof) from time to time endorsed
thereon and may also provide that the aggregate amount of Outstanding Securities
of such series represented thereby may from time to time be increased or
decreased to reflect exchanges. Any endorsement of any Global Security to
reflect the amount, or any increase or decrease in the amount, or changes in the
rights of Holders thereof, of Outstanding Securities represented thereby shall
be made (or caused to be made) by the Trustee in such manner or by such Person
or Persons as shall be specified therein or in the Company Order to be delivered
to the Trustee pursuant to Section 3.03 or 3.04. Subject to the provisions of
Section 3.03 and, if applicable, Section 3.04, the Trustee shall deliver and
redeliver any Global Security in permanent global form in the manner and upon
instructions given by the Person or Persons specified therein or in the
applicable Company Order. If a Company Order pursuant to Section 3.03 or 3.04
has been, or simultaneously is, delivered, any instructions by the Company with
respect to endorsement or delivery or redelivery of a Global Security shall be
in writing but need not comply with Section 1.02 and need not be accompanied by
an Opinion of Counsel.

     The provisions of the last sentence of Section 3.03 shall apply to any
Security represented by a Global Security if such Security was never issued and
sold by the Company and the Company delivers to the Trustee the Global Security
together with written instructions (which need not comply with Section 1.02 and
need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel) with regard to the reduction
in the principal amount of Securities represented thereby, together with the
written statement contemplated by the last sentence of Section 3.03.

     Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.07, unless otherwise specified
as contemplated by Section 3.01, payment of principal of and any premium or
Make-Whole Amount, if any, and interest on any Global Security in permanent
global form shall be made to the registered Holder thereof.

     Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.08 and except as provided in
the preceding paragraph, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company
and the Trustee shall treat as the Holder of such principal amount of
Outstanding Securities represented by a permanent Global Security (i) in the
case of a permanent Global Security in registered form, the Holder of such
permanent Global Security in registered form, or (ii) in the case of a permanent
Global Security in bearer form, Euroclear or Clearstream.

     Any Global Security authenticated and delivered hereunder shall bear a
legend in substantially the following form or such similar form as may be
required by the Depositary:

          "This Security is a Global Security within the meaning set forth in
     the Indenture hereinafter referred to and is registered in the name of a
     Depositary or a nominee of a Depositary. This Security is exchangeable for
     Securities registered in the name of a Person other than the Depositary or
     its nominee only in the limited circumstances described in the Indenture,
     and no transfer of this Security (other than a transfer of this

          (28) designation of the Trustee, if different from the Trustee under
          the Indenture, with respect to such series and the terms applicable to

     All Securities of any one series (other than Securities offered in a
Periodic Offering) shall be substantially identical except as to denomination
and except as may otherwise be provided by or pursuant to the Board Vote
referred to above and, subject to Section 3.03, set forth, or determined in the
manner provided, in the Officers' Certificate referred to above or in any such
indenture supplemental hereto. All Securities of any one series need not be

Securities of such series.

     If any of the terms of the series are established by action taken pursuant
to a Board Vote, a copy of an appropriate record of such action shall be
certified by the Clerk or an Assistant Clerk of the Company and delivered to the
Trustee at or prior to the delivery of the Officers' Certificate setting forth
the terms of the series.

     With respect to Securities of a series offered in a Periodic Offering, such
Board Vote and Officers' Certificate or supplemental indenture may provide
general terms or parameters for Securities of such series and provide either
that the specific terms of particular Securities of such series shall be
specified in a Company Order or that such terms shall be determined by the
Company or its agents in accordance with other procedures specified in a Company
Order as contemplated by the third paragraph of Section 3.03.

     SECTION 3.02 DENOMINATIONS.

     The Securities of each series shall be issued in registered form without
coupons in such denominations as shall be specified as contemplated by Section
3.01. In the absence of any such provisions with respect to the Securities of
any series, the Securities of such series, other than Global Securities (which
may be of any denomination), shall be issuable in denominations of $1,000 or any
amount in excess thereof which is an integral multiple of $1,000.

     SECTION 3.03 EXECUTION, AUTHENTICATION, DELIVERY AND DATING.

     The Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman
of the Board, its President or one of its Vice Presidents, under its corporate
seal affixed thereto or reproduced thereon attested by its Secretary or one of
its Assistant Secretaries. The signature of any of these officers on the
Securities may be manual or facsimile signatures of the present or any future
such authorized officer and may be imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the
Securities.

     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

                                       28
<Page>

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, or, in the case of Securities
offered in a Periodic Offering, from time to time in accordance with such other
procedures (including, without limitation, the receipt by the Trustee of
electronic instructions from the Company or its duly authorized agents, promptly
confirmed in writing by the Company) acceptable to the Trustee as may be
specified from time to time by a Company Order for establishing the specific
terms of particular Securities being so offered, 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 Votes as permitted by Sections 2.01 and 3.01, in
authenticating such Securities and accepting the additional responsibilities
under this Indenture in relation to such Securities, the Trustee shall be
entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 6.01) shall be fully protected in
relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating:

               (a) that the form or forms of such Securities have been
     established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture;

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

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

               (d) that authentication and delivery of such Securities and the
     execution and delivery of the supplemental indenture, if any, by the
     Trustee will not violate the terms of the Indenture;

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

               (f) that the issuance of such Securities will not contravene the
     certificate of organization or by-laws of the Company or result in any
     violation of any of the terms or provisions of any law or regulation or of
     any indenture, mortgage or other agreement known to such Counsel by which
     the Company is bound;

provided, however, that, with respect to Securities of a series offered in a
Periodic Offering, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive such Opinion of
Counsel in connection only with the first authentication of Securities of such
series and that the opinions described in clauses (b) and (c) above may state,
respectively, that

                                       29
<Page>

               (a) if the terms of such Securities are to be established
     pursuant to a Company Order or pursuant to such procedures as may be
     specified from time to time by a Company Order, all as contemplated by a
     Board Vote or action taken pursuant thereto, such terms will have been duly
     authorized by the Company and established in conformity with the provisions
     of this Indenture; and

               (b) that such Securities, when executed by the Company,
     completed, authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in accordance with
     this Indenture, and issued and delivered by the Company and paid for, all
     in accordance with any agreement of the Company relating to the offering,
     issuance and sale of such Securities, will constitute valid and legally
     binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their
     terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and
     other laws relating to or affecting generally the enforcement of creditors'
     rights and to general principles of equity.

     With respect to Securities of a series offered in a Periodic Offering, the
Trustee may rely, as to the authorization by the Company of any of such
Securities, the form and terms thereof and the legality, validity, binding
effect and enforceability thereof, upon the Opinion of Counsel and other
documents delivered pursuant to Sections 2.01 and 3.01 and this Section 3.05, as
applicable, in connection with the first authentication of Securities of such
series and it shall not be necessary for the Company to deliver such Opinion of
Counsel and other documents (except as may be required by the specified other
procedures, if any, referred to above) at or prior to the time of authentication
of each Security of such series unless and until the Trustee receives notice
that such Opinion of Counsel or other documents have been superseded or revoked,
and may assume compliance with any conditions specified in such Opinion of
Counsel (other than any conditions to be performed by the Trustee). 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.

     Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication and each Bearer
Security shall be dated as of the date specified as contemplated by Section
3.01.

     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 and is entitled to the
benefits of this Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Security
(including a Global 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
3.09 together with a written statement (which need not comply with Section 1.02
and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel) stating that such Security
has never been issued and sold by the Company, for all purposes of this
Indenture such Security shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and
delivered hereunder and shall never be entitled to the benefits of this
Indenture.

     SECTION 3.04 TEMPORARY SECURITIES.

          (a) Pending the preparation of definitive Securities of any series,
the Company may execute, and upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate
and deliver, temporary Securities 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, in registered form, or, if authorized, in bearer form with one or
more coupons or without coupons, and with such appropriate insertions,
omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers executing such
Securities may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Securities. In
the case of Securities of any series, such temporary Securities may be in global
form.

     Except in the case of temporary Global Securities (which shall be exchanged
as otherwise provided herein or as otherwise provided in or pursuant to a Board
Vote or supplemental indenture pursuant to Section 3.01), 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 like tenor of
such series upon surrender of the temporary Securities of such series at the
office or agency of the Company in any 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 a like principal amount of
definitive Securities of the same series and of like tenor and of any authorized
denominations. 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.

          (b) Unless otherwise provided in or pursuant to a Board Vote or
supplemental indenture pursuant to Section 3.01, the following provisions of
this Section 3.04(b) shall govern the exchange of temporary Securities other
than through the facilities of the DTC. If any such temporary Security is issued
in global form, then such temporary Global Security shall, unless otherwise
provided therein, be delivered to the London office of a depositary or common
depositary upon and pursuant to written direction of the Company (the "Common
Depositary"), for the benefit of Euroclear and Clearstream, for credit to the
respective accounts of the beneficial owners of such Securities (or to such
other accounts as they may direct).

     Without unnecessary delay but in any event not later than the date
specified in, or determined pursuant to the terms of, any such temporary Global
Security (the "Exchange Date"), the Company shall deliver to the Trustee
definitive Securities, in aggregate principal amount equal to the principal
amount of such temporary Global Security, executed by the Company. On or after
the Exchange Date, such temporary Global Security shall be surrendered by the
Common Depositary to the Trustee, as the Company's agent for such purpose, to be
exchanged, in whole or from time to time in part, for definitive Securities
without charge, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for
each portion of such temporary Global Security, an equal aggregate principal
amount of definitive Securities of the same series of authorized denominations
and of like tenor as the portion of such temporary Global Security to be
exchanged. The definitive Securities to be delivered in exchange for any such
temporary Global Security shall be in bearer form, registered form, permanent
global bearer form or permanent

                                       31
<Page>

global registered form, or any combination thereof, as specified as contemplated
by Section 3.01, and, if any combination thereof is so specified, as requested
by the beneficial owner thereof (as directed by or pursuant to information
provided by the Common Depositary); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, unless otherwise
specified in such temporary Global Security, upon such presentation by the
Common Depositary, such temporary Global Security shall be accompanied by a
certificate dated the Exchange Date or a subsequent date and signed by Euroclear
as to the portion of such temporary Global Security held for its account then to
be exchanged and a certificate dated the Exchange Date or a subsequent date and
signed by Clearstream as to the portion of such temporary Global Security held
for its account then to be exchanged, in such form as may be established
pursuant to Section 3.01; and PROVIDED FURTHER that definitive Bearer Securities
shall be delivered in exchange for a portion of a temporary Global Security only
in compliance with the requirements of Section 3.03.

     Unless otherwise specified in such temporary Global Security, the interest
of a beneficial owner of Securities of a series in a temporary Global Security
shall be exchanged for definitive Securities of the same series and of like
tenor following the Exchange Date when the account holder instructs Euroclear or
Clearstream, as the case may be, to request such exchange on his behalf and
delivers to Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, a certificate in the
form as may be established pursuant to Section 3.01, dated no earlier than 15
days prior to the Exchange Date, copies of which certificate shall be available
from the offices of Euroclear and Clearstream, the Trustee, any Authenticating
Agent appointed for such series of Securities and each Paying Agent. Unless
otherwise specified in such temporary Global Security, any such exchange shall
be made free of charge to the beneficial owners of such temporary Global
Security, except that a Person receiving definitive Securities must bear the
cost of insurance, postage, transportation and the like unless such Person takes
delivery of such definitive Securities in person at the offices of Euroclear or
Clearstream. Definitive Securities in bearer form to be delivered in exchange
for any portion of a temporary Global Security shall be delivered only to an
address located outside the United States.

     Until exchanged in full as hereinabove provided, the temporary Securities
of any series shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this
Indenture as definitive Securities of the same series and of like tenor
authenticated and delivered hereunder, except that, unless otherwise specified
as contemplated by Section 301, interest payable on a temporary Global Security
on an Interest Payment Date for Securities of such series occurring prior to the
applicable Exchange Date shall be payable to Euroclear and Clearstream on such
Interest Payment Date upon delivery by Euroclear and Clearstream to the Trustee
of a certificate or certificates in such forms as may be established pursuant to
Section 3.01, for credit without further interest on or after such Interest
Payment Date to the respective accounts of Persons who are the beneficial owners
of such temporary Global Security on such Interest Payment Date and who have
each delivered to Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, a certificate
dated no earlier than 15 days prior to the Interest Payment Date occurring prior
to such Exchange Date in the form as may be established pursuant to Section
3.01. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, the
certifications made pursuant to this paragraph shall satisfy the certification
requirements of the preceding two paragraphs of this Section 3.04(b) and of the
third paragraph of Section 3.03 of this Indenture and the interests of the
Persons who are the beneficial owners of the temporary Global Security with
respect to which such certification was made will be exchanged for definitive
Securities of the same series and of like tenor on the

                                       32
<Page>

Exchange Date or the date of certification if such date occurs after the
Exchange Date, without further act or deed by such beneficial owners. Except as
otherwise provided in this paragraph, no payments of principal or interest owing
with respect to a beneficial interest in a temporary Global Security will be
made unless and until such interest in such temporary Global Security shall have
been exchanged for an interest in a definitive Security. Any interest so
received by Euroclear and Clearstream and not paid as herein provided shall be
returned to the Trustee prior to the expiration of two years after such Interest
Payment Date in order to be repaid to the Company.

     SECTION 3.05 REGISTRATION, REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE.

     The Company shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the
Trustee or in any office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment a
register for each series of Securities (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. In the event that the
Trustee shall cease to be Security Registrar, it shall have the right to
examine, and be provided a copy of, the Security Register at all reasonable
times.

     Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Security of any series
at the office or agency of the Company in any Place of Payment for such 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 a like aggregate
principal amount and tenor.

     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 a
like aggregate principal amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously
outstanding, and containing identical terms and provisions, upon surrender of
the Securities to be exchanged at the office or agency of the Company in any
Place of Payment for such series. 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.

     If (but only if) permitted by the applicable Board Vote and (subject to
Section 3.03) set forth in the applicable Officer's Certificate, or in any
indenture supplemental hereto, delivered as contemplated by Section 3.01, at the
option of the Holder, Bearer Securities of any series may be exchanged for
Securities of the same series of any authorized denominations and of a like
aggregate principal amount and tenor, upon surrender of the Bearer Securities to
be exchanged at any such office or agency. If the Holder of a Bearer Security is
unable to produce any such unmatured coupon or coupons or matured coupon or
coupons in default, any such permitted exchange may be effected if the Bearer
Securities are accompanied by payment in funds acceptable to the Company in an
amount equal to the face amount of such missing coupon or coupons, or the
surrender of such missing coupon or coupons may be waived by the Company and the
Trustee if there is furnished to them such security or indemnity as they may
require to save each of them and any Paying Agent harmless. If thereafter the
Holder of such Security shall

                                       33
<Page>

surrender to any Paying Agent any such missing coupon in respect of which such a
payment shall have been made, such Holder shall be entitled to receive the
amount of such payment; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, except as otherwise provided in
Section 10.02, interest represented by coupons shall be payable only upon
presentation and surrender of those coupons at an office or agency located
outside the United States. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in case a Bearer
Security of any series is surrendered at any such office or agency in a
permitted exchange for a Security of the same series and like tenor after the
close of business at such office or agency on (i) any Regular Record Date and
before the opening of business at such office or agency on the relevant Interest
Payment Date, or (ii) any Special Record Date and before the opening of business
at such office or agency on the related proposed date for payment of Defaulted
Interest, such Bearer Security shall be surrendered without the coupon relating
to such Interest Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as the case may be,
and interest or Defaulted Interest, as the case may be, will not be payable on
such Interest Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as the case may be, in
respect of the Security issued in exchange for such Bearer Security, but will be
payable only to the Holder of such coupon when due in accordance with the
provisions of this Indenture. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for
exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver, the Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to
receive.

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

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

     No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or
exchange of Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient
to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection
with any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, other than
exchanges pursuant to Section 3.04, 9.06 or 11.07 not involving any transfer.

     The Company may but shall not be required (i) to issue, register the
transfer of or exchange Securities of any series during a period beginning at
the opening of business 15 days before the day of the mailing of a notice of
redemption of Securities of that series selected for redemption under Section
11.03 and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing, or (ii) 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.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as otherwise specified as
contemplated by Section 3.01, any Global Security shall be exchangeable pursuant
to this Section 3.05 for Securities registered in the name of Persons other than
the Depositary for such Security or its nominee only if (i) such Depositary
notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary
for such Global Security or if at any time such Depositary ceases to be a
clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, (ii) the Company executes and
delivers to the Trustee

                                       34
<Page>

a Company Order that such Global Security shall be so exchangeable or
(iii) there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default with
respect to the Securities of such series. Upon the occurrence in respect of any
Global Security of any series of any one or more of the conditions specified in
clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of the preceding sentence or such other conditions as
may be specified as contemplated by Section 3.01 for such series, such Global
Security may be exchanged for Securities not bearing the legend specified in
Section 2.05 and registered in the name of such Person as may be specified by
the Depositary (including Persons other than the Depositary).

     Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, a Global Security
may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary for such Global
Security to a nominee of such Depositary, or by a nominee of such Depositary, to
such Depositary, or another nominee of such Depositary.

     SECTION 3.06 MUTILATED, DESTROYED, LOST AND STOLEN SECURITIES.

     If any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee, or the Company,
together with, in the proper case, such security or indemnity as may be required
by the Company or the Trustee to save each of them or any agent of either of
them harmless, 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.

     If there shall be delivered to the Company and the Trustee (i) evidence to
their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security and (ii)
such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and
any agent of either of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the
Company or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a bona fide
purchaser, the Company shall execute and upon its written request 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 PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that
payment of principal of (and premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any), and any
interest on, Bearer Securities shall, except as otherwise provided in Section
10.02, be payable only at an office or agency located outside the United States
and, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01, any interest on
Bearer Securities shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of the
coupons appertaining thereto.

     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.

                                       35
<Page>

     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 3.07 PAYMENT OF INTEREST; INTEREST RIGHTS PRESERVED.

     Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 3.01 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 in the Security Register at the close of business on
the Regular Record Date for such Interest Payment Date; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that
each installment of interest on any Security may at the Company's option be paid
by (i) mailing a check for such interest, payable to or upon the written order
of the Person entitled thereto pursuant to Section 308, to the address of such
Person as it appears on the Security Register or (ii) transfer to an account
maintained by the payee located inside the United States.

     Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 3.01 with respect to
the Securities of any series, payment of interest may be made, in the case of a
Bearer Security, by transfer to an account maintained by the payee with a bank
located outside the United States.

     Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 3.01, every permanent
global Security will provide that interest, if any, payable on any Interest
Payment Date will be paid to DTC, Euroclear and/or Clearstream, as the case may
be, with respect to that portion of such permanent global Security held for its
account by Cede & Co. or the Common Depositary, as the case may be, for the
purpose of permitting such party to credit the interest received by it in
respect of such permanent global Security to the accounts of the beneficial
owners thereof.

     In case a Bearer Security of any series is surrendered in exchange for a
Security of such series after the close of business (at an office or agency in a
Place of Payment for such series) on any Regular Record Date and before the
opening of business (at such office or agency) on the next succeeding Interest
Payment Date, such Bearer Security shall be surrendered without the coupon
relating to such Interest Payment Date and interest will not be payable on such
Interest Payment Date in respect of the Security issued in exchange for such
Bearer Security, but will be payable only to the Holder of such coupon when due
in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.

     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:

                                       36
<Page>

          (1) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to
          the Persons in whose names the Securities of such series (or their
          respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of
          business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted
          Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company
          shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted
          Interest proposed to be paid on each Security of such series and the
          date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall
          deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate
          amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or
          shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit
          prior to the date of the 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 mailed, first-class postage
          prepaid, to each Holder of Securities of such series at his or her
          address as it appears in the Security Register, 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). In case a Bearer Security of any series is
          surrendered at the office or agency in a Place of Payment for such
          series in exchange for a Security of such series after the close of
          business at such office or agency on any Special Record Date and
          before the opening of business at such office or agency on the related
          proposed date for payment of Defaulted Interest, such Bearer Security
          shall be surrendered without the coupon relating to such proposed date
          of payment and Defaulted Interest will not be payable on such proposed
          date of payment in respect of the Registered Security issued in
          exchange for such Bearer Security, but will be payable only to the
          Holder of such coupon when due in accordance with the provisions of
          this Indenture.

          (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

                                       37
<Page>

shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were
carried by such other Security.

     SECTION 3.08 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 in the Security Register as the
owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of (and
premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any) and (subject to Section 3.07) 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. All such
payments so made to any such Person, or upon such Person's order, shall be
valid, and, to the extent of the sum or sums so paid, effectual to satisfy and
discharge the liability for money payable upon any such Security.

     Title to any Bearer Security and any coupons appertaining thereto shall
pass by delivery. The Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the
Trustee may treat the Holder of any Bearer Security and the Holder of any coupon
as the absolute owner of such Security or coupon for the purpose of receiving
payment thereof or on account thereof and for all other purposes whatsoever,
whether or not such Security or coupon 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.

     No holder of any beneficial interest in any Global Security held on its
behalf by a Depositary (or its nominee) shall have any rights under this
Indenture with respect to such Global Security or any Security represented
thereby, and such Depositary may be treated by the Company, the Trustee, and any
agent of the Company or the Trustee as the owner of such Global Security or any
Security represented thereby for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, with respect to any Global Security, nothing herein shall prevent the
Company, the Trustee, or any agent of the Company or the Trustee, from giving
effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by a
Depositary or impair, as between a Depositary and such holders of beneficial
interests, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the
rights of the Depositary (or its nominee) as Holder of any Security.

     SECTION 3.09 CANCELLATION

     All Securities surrendered for payment redemption, repayment, registration
of transfer, conversion 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 cancelled 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 cancelled by the Trustee. If the
Company shall so acquire any of the Securities, however, such acquisition shall
not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by
such Securities unless and until the same are surrendered to the Trustee for
cancellation. No Securities shall be

                                       38
<Page>

authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Securities cancelled as provided
in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All cancelled
Securities held by the Trustee shall be destroyed unless otherwise directed by a
Company Order.

     SECTION 3.10 COMPUTATION OF INTEREST.

     Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01 for
Securities of any series, interest on the Securities of each series shall be
computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

     SECTION 3.11 PAYMENT TO BE IN PROPER CURRENCY.

     In the case of any Securities denominated in any currency (the "Required
Currency") other than United States Dollars, except as otherwise provided
therein, the obligation of the Company to make any payment of principal, premium
or Make-Whole Amount or interest thereon shall not be discharged or satisfied by
any tender by the Company, or recovery by the Trustee, in any currency other
than the Required Currency, except to the extent that such tender or recovery
shall result in the Trustee timely holding the full amount of the Required
Currency then due and payable. If any such tender or recovery is in a currency
other than the Required Currency, the Trustee may take such actions as it
considers appropriate to exchange such currency for the Required Currency. The
costs and risks of any such exchange, including without limitation the risks of
delay and exchange rate fluctuation, shall be borne by the Company, the Company
shall remain fully liable for any shortfall or delinquency in the full amount of
Required Currency then due and payable, and in no circumstances shall the
Trustee be liable therefor except in the case of its negligence or willful
misconduct. The Company hereby waives any defense of payment based upon any such
tender or recovery which is not in the Required Currency, or which, when
exchanged for the Required Currency by the Trustee, is less than the full amount
of Required Currency then due and payable.

     SECTION 3.12 CUSIP NUMBERS.

     The Company in issuing the Securities may use "CUSIP" numbers (if then
generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use "CUSIP" numbers in notices
of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may
state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers
either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of a
redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification
numbers printed on the Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected
by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company will promptly notify
the Trustee of any change in the "CUSIP" numbers.

                    ARTICLE FOUR - SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE

     SECTION 4.01 SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE.

     This Indenture shall upon Company Request cease to be of further effect
with respect to any series of Securities specified in such Company Request
(except as to any surviving rights of registration of transfer or exchange of
Securities herein expressly provided for), and the Trustee,

                                       39
<Page>

upon receipt of a Company Order, and at the expense of the Company, shall
execute proper instruments in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee and
the Company acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture as to
such series, when:

          (1) either

                    (i) all Securities of such series theretofore authenticated
          and delivered (other than (i) coupons appertaining to Bearer
          Securities surrendered for exchange for Securities and maturing after
          such exchange, whose surrender is not required or has been waived as
          provided in Section 3.05, (ii) Securities which have been destroyed,
          lost or stolen and which have been replaced or paid as provided in
          Section 3.06 and (iii) Securities for whose payment money has
          theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by
          the Company and thereafter repaid to the Company or discharged from
          such trust, as provided in Section 10.03) have been delivered to the
          Trustee for cancellation; or

                    (ii) all Securities of such series not theretofore delivered
          to the Trustee for cancellation

                         (A) have become due and payable,

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

                         (C) are to be called for redemption within one year
               under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of
               notice 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 an amount, in the currency in which the Securities of such series
     are payable, sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on
     such Securities not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation,
     for principal (and premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any) and interest to
     the date of such deposit (in the case of Securities which have become due
     and payable) or to the respective Stated Maturity or Redemption Date, as
     the case may be;

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

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

     Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the
obligations of the Company to the Trustee under Section 6.07, the obligations of
the Company to any Authenticating Agent under Section 6.11 and, if money shall
have been deposited with the

                                       40
<Page>

Trustee pursuant to subclause (B) of clause (1) of this Section, the obligations
of the Trustee under Section 4.02 and the last paragraph of Section 10.03 shall
survive.

     SECTION 4.02 APPLICATION OF TRUST MONEY.

     Subject to provisions of the last paragraph of Section 10.03, all money
deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.01 shall be held in trust and
applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Securities and this
Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent
(including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may
determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and premium or
Make-Whole Amount, if any) and interest for whose payment such money has been
deposited with or received by the Trustee but such money need not be segregated
from other funds except to the extent required by law.

                             ARTICLE FIVE - REMEDIES

     SECTION 5.01 EVENTS OF DEFAULT

     "Event of Default," wherever used herein with respect to Securities of any
series, and unless otherwise provided with respect to Securities of any series

          performance or whose breach is elsewhere in this Section specifically
          dealt with or which has expressly been included in this Indenture
          solely for the benefit of series of one or more 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 aggregate principal amount of the
          Outstanding Securities of that series a written notice specifying such
          default or breach and requiring it to be remedied and stating that
          such notice is a "Notice of Default" hereunder;

          under which the Company or a Principal Subsidiary Bank has at the date
          of this Indenture or shall hereafter have outstanding any indebtedness
          for borrowed money in an aggregate principal amount exceeding
          $5,000,000, shall happen and be continuing and such indebtedness shall
          either have become due and payable by its terms but not been paid or
          shall have been accelerated so that the same shall be or become due
          and payable prior to the date on which the same would otherwise have
          become due and payable and such payment default shall not be cured or
          such acceleration shall not be rescinded or annulled within 60 days
          after there has been given, by registered or certified mail, to the

          Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the
          Outstanding Securities of that series a written notice specifying such
          default or breach and requiring it to be remedied and stating that
          such notice is a "Notice of Default" hereunder, provided, however,
          that if, prior to a declaration of acceleration of the Maturity of the
          Securities of any series or the entry of judgment in favor of the
          Trustee in a suit pursuant to Section 5.03, such event of default
          under such indenture or instrument shall be remedied or cured by the
          Company or such Principal Subsidiary Bank or waived by the holders of
          such indebtedness, then the Event of Default hereunder by reason
          thereof shall be deemed likewise to have been thereupon remedied,
          cured or waived without further action upon the part of either the
          Trustee or any of the Holders of Securities of such series;

          (6) the entry by a court having jurisdiction in the premises of (A) a
          decree or order for relief in respect of the Company or a Principal
          Subsidiary bank in an involuntary case or proceeding under any

          Currency (or other competent government agency having primary
          regulatory authority over the Principal Subsidiary Bank) under any

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

     Upon receipt by the Trustee of any Notice of Default pursuant to Section
5.01 with respect to Securities of a series all or part of which is represented
by a Global Security, a record date shall be established for determining Holders
of Outstanding Securities of such series entitled to join in such Notice of
Default, which record date shall be at the close of business on the date the
Trustee receives such Notice of Default. The Holders on such record date, or
their duly designated proxies, and only such Persons, shall be entitled to join
in such Notice of Default,

                                       43
<Page>

whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided,
that unless Holders of at least 10% in principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities of such series, or their proxies, shall have joined in such Notice of
Default prior to the day which is 90 days after such record date, such Notice of
Default shall automatically and without further action by any Holder be
cancelled and of no further effect. Nothing in this paragraph shall prevent a
Holder, or a proxy of a Holder, from giving, after expiration of such 90-day
period, a new Notice of Default which is Identical to a Notice of Default which
has been cancelled pursuant to the proviso to the preceding sentence, in which
event a new record date shall be established pursuant to the provisions of this
Section 5.01.

     SECTION 5.02 ACCELERATION OF MATURITY; RESCISSION AND ANNULMENT.

     If an Event of Default with respect to Outstanding Securities of any series
occurs and is continuing, then and in every such case the Trustee or the Holders
of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities
of that series may declare the principal amount (or, if any of the Securities of
that series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such lesser portion of the
principal amount of such Securities as may be specified in the terms thereof) of
all of the Securities of that series 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 portion thereof)
shall become immediately due and payable.

     At any time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to
Outstanding 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 aggregate
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 in the currency, currency unit or composite currency in
     which the Securities of such series are payable (except as otherwise
     specified pursuant to Section 301 for the Securities of such series),

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

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

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

               (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 any other amounts due the Trustee
          under Section 6.07;

               and

                                       44
<Page>

          (2) all Events of Default with respect to Securities of that series,
     other than the non-payment of the principal of (or premium or Make-Whole
     Amount, if any) 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.

     Upon receipt by the Trustee of any written notice declaring such an
acceleration, or rescission and annulment thereof, with respect to Securities of
a series all or part of which is represented by a Global Security, a record date
shall be established for determining Holders of Outstanding Securities of such
series entitled to join in such notice, which record date shall be at the close
of business on the day the Trustee receives such notice. The Holders on such
record date, or their duly designated proxies, and only such Persons, shall be
entitled to join in such notice, whether or not such Holders remain Holders
after such record date; provided, that unless such declaration of acceleration,
or rescission and annulment, as the case may be, shall have become effective by
virtue of the requisite percentage having joined in such notice prior to the day
which is 90 days after such record date, such notice of declaration of
acceleration, or rescission and annulment, as the case may be, shall
automatically and without further action by any Holder be cancelled and of no
further effect. Nothing in this paragraph shall prevent a Holder, or a proxy of
a Holder, from giving, after expiration of such 90-day period, a new written
notice of declaration of acceleration, or rescission or annulment thereof as the
case may be, that is identical to a written notice which has been cancelled
pursuant to the proviso to the preceding sentence, in which event a new record
date shall be established pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.02.

     SECTION 5.03 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,

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

          (3) default is made in the performance of any covenant or a breach
     occurs in any warranty of the Company in this Indenture (other than a
     covenant or warranty a default in whose performance or whose breach is
     elsewhere in this Section specifically dealt with or which has expressly
     been included in this Indenture solely for the benefit of a series of one
     or more Securities other than that series), and such default or breach
     continues 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 aggregate principal amount of the
     Outstanding Securities of that series a written notice specifying such
     default or breach and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such
     notice is a "Notice of Default" hereunder, the Company will, upon

                                       45
<Page>

          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 premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any)
          and interest and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be
          legally enforceable, interest on any overdue principal (and premium or
          Make-Whole Amount, if any) 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 the Company fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand,
the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a
judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, may
prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree and may enforce the same
against the Company or any other obligor upon such Securities and collect the
moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of
the property of the Company or any other obligor upon such Securities, wherever
situated.

          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.

          Upon receipt by the Trustee of any Notice of Default pursuant to
Section 5.03(3) with respect to Securities of a series all or part of which is
represented by a Global Security, a record date shall be established for
determining Holders of Outstanding Securities of such series entitled to join in
such Notice of Default, which record date shall be at the close of business on
the date the Trustee receives such Notice of Default. The Holders on such record
date, or their duly designated proxies, and only such Persons, shall be entitled
to join in such Notice of Default, whether or not such Holders remain Holders
after such record date; provided, that unless Holders of at least 10% in
principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series, or their proxies,
shall have joined in such Notice of Default prior to the day which is 90 days
after such record date, such Notice of Default shall automatically and without
further action by any Holder be cancelled and of no further effect. Nothing in
this paragraph shall prevent a Holder, or a proxy of a Holder, from giving,
after expiration of such 90-day period, a new Notice of Default which is
identical to a Notice of Default which has been cancelled pursuant to the
proviso to the preceding sentence, in which event a new record date shall be
established pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.03.

     SECTION 5.04 TRUSTEE MAY FILE PROOFS OF CLAIM.

     In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation,
bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other
judicial proceeding relative to the Company or any other obligor upon the
Securities or the property of the Company or of such other obligor or their
creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of the Securities
or any series shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by
declaration or otherwise

                                       46
<Page>

and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand on the
Company for the payment of overdue principal premium, Make-Whole Amount, if any
or interest) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding
or otherwise,

                    (i) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount, or such
               lesser amount as may be provided for in the Securities of such
               series, of principal (and premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any)
               or such portion of the principal amount of any series of Original
               Issue Discount Securities as may be specified in the terms of
               such series and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the
               Securities and to file such other papers or documents as may be
               necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee
               (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses,
               disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and
               counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section
               6.07) and of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceeding, and

                    (ii) 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 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 6.07.

     Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to
authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of
reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities
or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in
respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

     In any proceedings brought by the Trustee (and also any proceedings
involving the interpretation of any provision of this Indenture to which the
Trustee shall be a party) the Trustee shall be held to represent all the
Holders, and it shall not be necessary to make any Holders parties to any such
proceedings.

     SECTION 5.05 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 and for any other amounts due
the Trustee under Section 6.07, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the
Securities in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.

     SECTION 5.06 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 premium or
Make-Whole Amount, if any) 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
     6.07;

          SECOND: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid for
     principal of (and premium or Make-Whole Amount, 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 aggregate amounts due and payable on such Securities for
     principal (and premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any) and interest,
     respectively, and

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

     SECTION 5.07 LIMITATION ON SUITS.

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

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

          (2) the Holders of 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.

                                       48
<Page>

     SECTION 5.08 UNCONDITIONAL RIGHT OF HOLDERS TO RECEIVE PRINCIPAL, PREMIUM
OR MAKE-WHOLE AMOUNT AND INTEREST.

     Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any
Security shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive
payment of the principal of (and premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any) and
(subject to Section 3.07) interest on such Security on the Stated Maturity or
Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on the
Redemption Date) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment,
and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.

     SECTION 5.09 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.

     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
3.06, 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 or by the Holders, as the case may
be.

     SECTION 5.12 CONTROL BY HOLDERS.

     The Holders of a majority in aggregate 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,

                                       49
<Page>

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

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

     Upon receipt by the Trustee of any written notice directing the time,
method or place of conducting any such proceeding or the exercise of any such
trust or power with respect to Securities of a series all or part of which is
represented by a Global Security, a record date shall be established for
determining Holders of Outstanding Securities of such series entitled to join in
such notice, which record date shall be at the close of business on the day the
Trustee receives such notice. The Holders on such record date, or their duly
designated proxies, and only such Persons, shall be entitled to join in such
notice, whether or not such Holders remain after such record date; provided,
that unless Holders of a majority (or, in the case of Section 5.07(2), 25%) in
principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series shall have joined
in such notice prior to the day which is 90 days after such record date, such
notice shall automatically and without further action by any Holder be cancelled
and of no further effect. Nothing in this paragraph shall prevent a Holder, or a
proxy of a Holder, from giving, after expiration of such 90-day period, a new
notice identical to a notice which has been cancelled pursuant to the proviso to
the preceding sentence, in which event a new record date shall be established
pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.12.

     SECTION 5.13 WAIVER OF PAST DEFAULTS.

     The Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate 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 a default,

          (1) in the payment of the principal of (or premium or Make-Whole
     Amount, if any) or interest on any Security of such series, or

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

     The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the
purpose of determining the Persons entitled to waive any past default hereunder.
If a record date is fixed, the Holders on such record date, or their duly
designated proxies, and only such Persons, shall be entitled to waive any
default hereunder, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record
date; provided, that unless such majority in principal amount shall have waived
such default prior to the date which is 90 days after such record date, any such
waiver of such default previously given shall automatically and without further
action by any Holder be cancelled and of no further effect.

     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.

                                       50

     SECTION 5.14 UNDERTAKING FOR COSTS.

     All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Security by his
acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its
discretion require, 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, the filing by any party litigant in such
suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in
its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees,
against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and
good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; provided,
however, that the provisions of this Section shall not apply to any suit
instituted by the Company, to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit
instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the aggregate more
than 10% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series, or to
any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the
principal of (or premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any) or interest on any
Security on or after the Stated Maturity or Maturities expressed in such
Security (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date).

     SECTION 5.15 WAIVER OF 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 benefits or advantages of, any 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 benefits or advantages of any such
law and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any
power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of
every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

                        ARTICLE SIX - THE TRUSTEE

     SECTION 6.01 CERTAIN DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES.

     The provisions of TIA Section 315 shall apply to the Trustee.

     SECTION 6.02 NOTICE OF DEFAULTS.

     Within 90 days after the occurrence of any default hereunder with respect
to the Securities of any series, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all
Holders of Securities of such series, as their names and addresses appear in the
Security Register, notice of such default hereunder known to the Trustee, unless
such default shall have been cured or waived; provided, however, that, except in
the case of a default in the payment of the principal of (or premium or
Make-Whole Amount, if any) or interest on any Security of such series or in the
payment of any sinking fund installment with respect to Securities of such
series, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long
as the board of directors, the executive committee or a trust committee of
directors and/or Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good faith determine
that the withholding of such notice is in the interests of the Holders of
Securities of such series; and provided, further, that in the case of any
default of the character specified in Section 5.01(4)

                                       51
<Page>

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 6.03 CERTAIN RIGHTS OF TRUSTEE.

     Subject to the provisions of TIA Section 315(a) through 315(d):

          (a) the Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting or

expressly provided herein and any resolution of the Board of Directors may be
sufficiently evidenced by a Board Vote;

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

          (d) 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;

          (e) 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;

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

          (g) 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;

                                       52
<Page>

          (h) the Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered or
omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the
discretion, rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture; and

          (i) the Trustee shall not be required 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.

     SECTION 6.04 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 the Trustee or any Authenticating Agent assumes no responsibility for their
correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or
sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Securities. The Trustee or any
Authenticating Agent shall not be accountable for the use or application by the
Company of Securities or the proceeds thereof.

     SECTION 6.05 MAY HOLD SECURITIES.

     The Trustee, any Authenticating Agent, any Paying Agent, any Security
Registrar or any other agent of the Company, in its individual or any other
capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and, subject to TIA
Sections 310(b) and 311, may otherwise deal with the Company with the same
rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent,
Security Registrar or such other agent.

     SECTION 6.06 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

     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);

          (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 reasonable
     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

                                       53
<Page>

          (3) to indemnify the Trustee and its agents 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.

     The obligations of the Company under this Section 6.07 to compensate and
indemnify the Trustee and to pay or reimburse the Trustee for expenses,
disbursements and advances shall constitute additional indebtedness hereunder
and shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. Such
additional indebtedness shall be a senior claim to that of the Securities upon
all property and funds held or collected by the Trustee as such, except funds
held in trust for the payment of principal of (and premium or Make-Whole Amount,
if any) or interest on particular Securities, and the Securities are hereby
subordinated to each senior claim.

     SECTION 6.08 DISQUALIFICATION; CONFLICTING INTERESTS.

     The provisions of TIA Section 310(b) shall apply to the Trustee.

     SECTION 6.09 CORPORATE TRUSTEE REQUIRED; ELIGIBILITY.

     There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder which shall be eligible to
act under TIA Section 310(a) (i) and shall have a combined capital and surplus
of at least $50,000,000. If such Corporation 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 Corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and
surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at
any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with
the effect hereinafter specified in this Article. Neither the Company, nor any
Person or Corporation directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under
common control with the Company, shall act as Trustee hereunder.

     SECTION 6.10 RESIGNATION AND REMOVAL; APPOINTMENT OF SUCCESSOR.

          (a) 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.

          (b) 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 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.

                                       54
<Page>

          (c) The Trustee may be removed at any time with respect to the
Securities of any series by an 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 an instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee shall
not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the removal of the
Trustee, the Trustee being removed may petition at the expense of the Company
any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

          (d) If at any time:

          (1) the Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 310(b) of the TIA
     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,

          (2) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 6.09 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
     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, (i) the Company by or pursuant to a Board Vote may
remove the Trustee with respect to all Securities, or (ii) 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.

          (e) 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 or pursuant to
a Board Vote, 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, 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.

                                       55
<Page>

          (f) 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 in the
manner provided for notices in Section 1.06, to all Holders of Securities of
such series as their names and addresses appear in the Security Register. 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.

          (a) 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.

          (b) 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. Whenever there is a successor Trustee with
respect to one or more (but less than all) series of securities issued pursuant
to this Indenture, the terms

                                       56
<Page>

"Indenture" and "Securities" shall have the meanings specified in the provisos
to the respective definitions of those terms in Section 1.01 which contemplate
such situation.

          (c) 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 paragraph (a) and (b) of this Section, as the case may be.

          (d) 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; in case
any of the Securities shall not have been authenticated by the Trustee then in
office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such Trustee may
authenticate such Securities either in the name of such predecessor hereunder or
in the name of the successor Trustee; and in all such cases such certificates
shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the Securities or in this
Indenture provided that the certificate of the Trustee shall have; provided,
however, that the right to adopt the certificate of authentication of any
predecessor Trustee or to authenticate Securities in the name of any predecessor
Trustee shall apply only to its successor or successors by merger, conversion or
consolidation.

     SECTION 6.13 PREFERENTIAL COLLECTION OF CLAIMS AGAINST COMPANY.

     The Trustee shall comply with TIA Section 311(a). A Trustee which has
resigned or been removed is subject to TIA Section 311(a) to the extent
indicated therein.

     SECTION 6.14 APPOINTMENT OF AUTHENTICATING AGENT.

     At any time when any of the Securities remain Outstanding, the Trustee,
with the concurrence of the Company, 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, 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. Any such appointment shall be evidenced
by an instrument in writing signed by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, a
copy of which instrument shall be promptly

                                       57
<Page>

furnished to the Company. 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 bank or trust company or Corporation
organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America, any
State thereof or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to act as
Authenticating Agent, having a combined capital and surplus of not less than
$50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by Federal, State or
District of Columbia authority. If such Authenticating Agent publishes reports
of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of said
supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the
combined capital and surplus of such Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be
its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of
condition so published. If at any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be
eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, such Authenticating
Agent shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in
this Section

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

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

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

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

                                       58
<Page>

     This is one of the Securities of the series designated herein and issued
pursuant to the within-mentioned indenture.

          (c) Every Holder of Securities, by receiving and holding the same,
agrees with the Company and the Trustee that neither the Company nor the Trustee
nor any agent of either of them shall be held accountable by reason of the
disclosure of any such information as to the names and addresses of the Holders

                   ARTICLE NINE-SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES

     SECTION 9.01 SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES WITHOUT CONSENT OF HOLDERS.

     Without the consent of any Holders, the Company, when authorized by or
pursuant to a Board Vote, and the Trustee, at any time and from time to time,

to the Trustee, for any of the following purposes:

          (1) to evidence the succession of another Person to the Company and
the assumption by any such successor of the covenants of the Company herein and
in the Securities;

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

          (3) to add any additional Events of Default (and if such Events of
Default are to be for the benefit of less than all series of Securities, stating
that such Events of Default are being included solely for the benefit of such
series); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that in respect of any such additional Events of
Default such supplemental indenture may provide for a particular period of grace
after default (which period may be shorter or longer than that allowed in the
case of other defaults) or may provide for an immediate enforcement upon such
default or may limit the remedies available to the Trustee upon such default or
may limit the right of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount
of that or those series of Securities to which such additional Events of Default
apply to waive such default;

          (4) to add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture to
such extent as shall be necessary to permit or facilitate the issuance of
Securities in bearer form, registrable or not registrable as to principal, and
with or without interest coupons;

          (5) to add to, change or eliminate any of the provisions of this
Indenture in respect of one or more series of Securities; provided that any such
addition, change or elimination (i) shall neither (A) apply to any Security of
any series created prior to the execution of such supplemental indenture and
entitled to the benefit of such provision nor (B) modify the rights of the
Holder of any such Security with respect to such provision or (ii) shall become
effective only when there is no such Security Outstanding;

          (6) to secure the Securities;

          (7) to establish the form or terms of Securities of any series as
permitted by Sections 2.01 and 3.01;

          (8) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment
hereunder by a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more
series and to add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall
be necessary to provide for or facilitate the

<Page>

administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, pursuant to the
requirements of Section 6.11(b); or

          (9) to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provision
herein which may be inconsistent with any other provision herein, or to make any
other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under this
Indenture; provided such actions shall not adversely affect the interests of the
Holders of Securities of any series in any material respect.

          (10) to add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture to
provide that Bearer Securities may be registrable as to principal, to change or
eliminate any restrictions on the payment of principal of or premium or
Make-Whole Amount, if any, or interest on Bearer Securities, to permit Bearer
Securities to be issued in exchange for Registered Securities, to permit Bearer
Securities to be issued in exchange for Bearer Securities of other authorized
denominations or to permit or facilitate the issuance of Securities in
uncertificated form, PROVIDED that any such action shall not adversely affect
the interests of the Holders of Securities of any series or any related coupons
in any material respect; or

          (11) to make provisions with respect to Holders' rights of conversion
with respect to any series of Securities pursuant to Article Fifteen.

     Notwithstanding any provision in this Indenture or otherwise, the rights of
creditors in respect of General Obligations under this Indenture and otherwise
in respect of the Securities may, at any time and from time to time, be reduced
or eliminated by a supplemental indenture entered into by the Company and the
Trustee, which supplemental indenture will not require the consent of the
Holders of Securities or any creditor in respect of General Obligations.

     SECTION 9.02 SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES WITH CONSENT OF HOLDERS.

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

          (1) change the Stated Maturity of the principal of, or any installment
     of principal of or interest on, any such Security, or reduce the principal
     amount thereof or the rate of interest thereon or any premium or Make-Whole
     Amount payable upon the redemption thereof, or reduce the amount of the
     principal of an Original Issue Discount Security that would be due and
     payable upon a declaration of acceleration of the Maturity thereof pursuant
     to Section 5.02, or change any Place of Payment where, or the coin or
     currency in which, any such Security or any premium or Make-Whole Amount or
     the interest thereon is payable, or impair the right to institute suit for
     the enforcement of any such payment on or after the Stated Maturity thereof
     (or, in the case of

                                       63
<Page>

     redemption, on or after the Redemption Date) or modify the provisions of
     this Indenture with respect to the subordination of the Securities in a
     manner adverse to the Holders of the Securities;

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

          (3) modify any of the provisions of this Section, Section 5.13 or
     Section 10.09, 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 10.09, or the
     deletion of this proviso, in accordance with the requirements of Sections
     6.11(b) and 9.01(8).

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

     The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the
purpose of determining the Persons entitled to consent to any indenture
supplemental hereto. If a record date is fixed for such purpose, the Holders on
such record date or their duly designated proxies, and only such Persons, shall
be entitled to consent to such supplemental indenture, whether or not such
Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided, that unless such
consent shall have become effective by virtue of the requisite percentage having
been obtained prior to the date which is 90 days after such record date, any
such consent previously given shall automatically and without further action by
any Holder be cancelled and of no further effect.

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

     SECTION 9.03 EXECUTION OF SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES.

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

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.

provided for in such supplemental indenture. If the Company shall so determine,
new Securities of any series so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the
Trustee and the Company, to any such supplemental indenture may be prepared and
executed by the Company and authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in
exchange for Outstanding Securities of such series.

     SECTION 9.07 NOTICE OF SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES.

     Promptly after the execution by the Company and the Trustee of any
supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of Section 9.02, the Company
shall give notice thereof to the Holders of each Outstanding Security so
affected, pursuant to Section 1.06, setting forth in general terms the substance
of such supplemental indenture.

                             ARTICLE TEN - COVENANTS

     SECTION 10.01 PAYMENT OF PRINCIPAL, PREMIUM OR MAKE-WHOLE AMOUNT 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 premium or
Make-Whole Amount, if any) and interest on the Securities of that series in
accordance with the terms of the Securities and this Indenture. Unless otherwise
specified as contemplated by Section 3.01 with respect to any series of
Securities, any interest due on Bearer Securities on or before Maturity shall be
payable only upon presentation and surrender of the several coupons for such
interest installments as are evidenced thereby as they severally mature. In the
absence of contrary provisions with respect to the Securities of any series,
interest on the Securities of any series may, at the option of the Company, be

     SECTION 10.02 MAINTENANCE OF OFFICE OR AGENCY.

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

     The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices
or agencies where the Securities of one or more series may be presented or
surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such
designation; 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 10.03 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 (and premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any) 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 in the currency in which such series of
Securities is payable sufficient to pay the principal (and premium or Make-Whole
Amount, if any) or 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 failure so to act.

     Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents for any series of
Securities, it will, prior to each due date of the principal of (and premium or
Make-Whole Amount, if any) or interest on any Securities of that series, deposit
with a Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay the principal (and premium or
Make-Whole Amount, if any) or interest so becoming due, such sum to be held in
trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such principal, premium or
Make-Whole Amount or interest, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the
Company will promptly notify the Trustee of its 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) hold all sums held by it for the payment of the principal of (and
     premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any) or interest on Securities of that
     series in trust for the

                                       66
<Page>

     benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to
     such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided;

          (2) give the Trustee notice of any default by the Company (or any
     other obligor upon the Securities of that series) in the making of any
     payment of principal (and premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any) or interest
     on the Securities of that series; and

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

     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 (and premium or
Make-Whole Amount, if any) or interest on any Security of any series and
remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal (and premium or
Make-Whole Amount, if any) or interest has become due and payable shall be paid
to the Company on Company Request, or (if then held by the Company) shall be
discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Security shall thereafter, as
an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for payment thereof, and
all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust
money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof shall thereupon
cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being
required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to
be published once, in a newspaper published in the English language, customarily
published on each Business Day and of general circulation in the City of New
York, 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 10.04 EXISTENCE.

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

     SECTION 10.05 MAINTENANCE OF PROPERTIES.

     The Company will cause all of its material properties used or useful in the
conduct of its business or the business of any Subsidiary to be maintained and
kept in good condition, repair

                                       67

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

     SECTION 10.06 PAYMENT OF TAXES AND OTHER CLAIMS.

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

     SECTION 10.07 LIMITATIONS ON DISPOSITION OF VOTING STOCK OF PRINCIPAL
SUBSIDIARY BANKS.

     Subject to Section 8.01, the Company will not (a) issue, sell or otherwise
dispose of any shares of or securities convertible into, or options, warrants or
rights to subscribe for or purchase shares of, Voting Stock of a Principal
Subsidiary Bank or permit a Principal Subsidiary Bank so to do, (b) permit the
merger or consolidation of any Principal Subsidiary Bank with or into any other
Corporation or (c) permit the sale or other disposition of all or substantially
all of the assets of a Principal Subsidiary Bank if, after giving effect to any
such transaction and the issuance of the maximum number of shares of Voting
Stock issuable upon the conversion or exercise of all such convertible
securities, options, warrants or rights, the Company would own, directly or
indirectly, 80% or less of the shares of Voting Stock of such Principal
Subsidiary Bank or the successor bank in such merger or consolidation or the
bank which acquires such assets, as the case may be.

     SECTION 10.08 RESTRICTIONS ON LIENS.

     The Company will not create, assume, incur or suffer to exist any pledge,
encumbrance or lien, as security for indebtedness for borrowed money, upon any
shares of, or securities convertible into, or options, warrants or rights to
subscribe for or purchase shares of, Voting Stock of a Principal Subsidiary
Bank, owned by the Company, directly or indirectly, without making effective
provision whereby the Securities of all series shall be equally and ratably
secured, if, treating such pledge, encumbrance or lien as a transfer to the
secured party, and after giving effect to the issuance of the maximum number of
shares of Voting Stock issuable upon conversion or exercise of such convertible
securities, options, warrants or rights, the Company would own, directly or
indirectly, 80% or less of the shares of Voting Stock of such Principal
Subsidiary Bank.

     SECTION 10.09 WAIVER OF CERTAIN COVENANTS.

     The Company may omit in any particular instance to comply with any term
provision or condition set forth in Sections 10.04 to 10.07, inclusive, with
respect to the Securities of any series if before the time for such compliance
the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate 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.

     The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the
purpose of determining the Persons entitled to waive any such term, provision or
condition. If a record date is fixed for such purpose, the Holders on such
record date or their duly designated proxies, and only such Persons, shall be
entitled to waive any such term, provision or condition hereunder, whether or
not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided, that unless
the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities of such series shall have waived such term, provision or condition
prior to the date which is 90 days after such record date, any such waiver
previously given shall automatically and without further action by any Holder be
cancelled and of no further effect.

                    ARTICLE ELEVEN - REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES

     SECTION 11.01 APPLICABILITY OF ARTICLE.

     Securities of any series which are redeemable before their Stated Maturity

accordance with this Article.

     SECTION 11.02 ELECTION TO REDEEM; NOTICE TO TRUSTEE.

     The election of the Company to redeem Securities of any series shall be
evidenced by an Officers' Certificate. The Company shall, at least 60 days prior
to the Redemption Date fixed by the Company (unless a shorter notice shall be
satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the Trustee of

          (1) such Redemption Date,

          (2) if the Securities of such series have different terms and

     less than all of the Securities of such series are to be redeemed, the
terms of the Securities to be redeemed, and

          (3) if less than all the Securities of such series with identical
terms are to be redeemed, the principal amount of such Securities to be

                                       69
<Page>

     In the case of any redemption of Securities of any series 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 11.03 SELECTION BY TRUSTEE OF SECURITIES TO BE REDEEMED.

     If less than all the Securities of like tenor of any series are to be
redeemed, the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more
than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee, from the Outstanding
Securities of like tenor of such series not previously called for redemption, by
such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate and which may provide
for the selection for redemption of portions (equal to the minimum authorized
denomination for Securities of like tenor of that series or any integral
multiple thereof) of the principal amount of Securities of such series of a
denomination larger than the minimum authorized denomination for Securities of
that series.

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

     For 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 11.04 NOTICE OF REDEMPTION.

     Notice of redemption shall be given in the manner provided in Section 1.06
not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, unless a
shorter period is specified by the terms of such series established pursuant to
Section 3.01, to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed, at his address
appearing in the Security Register, but failure to give such notice in the
manner herein provided to the Holder of any Security designated for redemption
as a whole or in part, or any defect in the notice to any such Holder, shall not
affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other such
Security or portion thereof.

     All notices of redemption shall state:

          (1) the Redemption Date,

          (2) the Redemption Price,

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

                                       70
<Page>

          (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 such Securities are to be surrendered
     for payment of the Redemption Price,

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

          (7) that, unless otherwise specified in such notice, Bearer Securities
     of any series, if any, surrendered for redemption must be accompanied by
     all coupons maturing subsequent to the date fixed for redemption or the
     amount of any such missing coupon or coupons will be deducted from the
     Redemption Price, unless security or indemnity satisfactory to the Company,
     the Trustee for such series and any Paying Agent is furnished,

          (8) if Bearer Securities of any series are to be redeemed and any
     Registered Securities of such series are not to be redeemed, and if such
     Bearer Securities may be exchanged for Registered Securities not subject to
     redemption on this Redemption Date pursuant to Section 3.05 or otherwise,
     the last date, as determined by the Company, on which such exchanges may be
     made,

          (9) the CUSIP number of such Security, if any, and

          (10) if applicable, that a Holder who desires to convert Securities
     for redemption must satisfy the requirements for conversion contained in
     such Securities, the then existing conversion price or rate, the place or
     places where such Securities may be surrendered for conversion, and the
     date and time when the option to convert shall expire.

     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.

     SECTION 11.05 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 10.03) an amount of
money in immediately available funds 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 Securities called for redemption are converted, any money deposited
with the Trustee or with any Paying Agent or so segregated and held in trust for
the redemption of such Security shall be paid to the Company upon Company
Request or, if then held by the Company, shall be discharged from such trust.

                                       71
<Page>

     SECTION 11.06 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 3.01, installments of interest whose Stated Maturity is
on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders of such
Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities, registered as such at the
close of business on the relevant Regular Record Dates according to their terms
and the provisions of Section 3.07.

     If any Bearer Security surrendered for redemption shall not be accompanied
by all appurtenant coupons maturing after the Redemption Date, such Security may
be paid after deducting from the Redemption Price an amount equal to the face
amount of all such missing coupons, or the surrender of such missing coupon or
coupons may be waived by the Company and the Trustee if there be furnished to
them such security or indemnity as they may require to save each of them and any
Paying Agent harmless. If thereafter the Holder of such Security shall surrender
to the Trustee or any Paying Agent any such missing coupon in respect of which a
deduction shall have been made from the Redemption Price, such Holder shall be
entitled to receive the amount so deducted; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that interest
represented by coupons shall be payable only at an office or agency located
outside the United States (except as otherwise provided in Section 10.02) and,
unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, only upon
presentation and surrender of those coupons.

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

     SECTION 11.07 SECURITIES REDEEMED IN PART.

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

contemplated by Section 3.01 for Securities of such series.

     The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the terms of
Securities of any series is herein referred to as a "mandatory sinking fund
payment," and any payment in excess of such minimum amount provided for by the
terms of Securities of any series is herein referred to as an "optional sinking
fund payment". If provided for by the terms of Securities of any series, the
cash amount of any sinking fund payment may be subject to reduction as provided
in Section 12.02. Each sinking fund payment shall be applied to the redemption
of Securities of any series as provided for by the terms of Securities of such
series.

     SECTION 12.02 SATISFACTION OF SINKING FUND PAYMENTS WITH SECURITIES.

     The Company (1) may deliver Outstanding Securities of like tenor of a
series (other than any previously called for redemption) and (2) may apply as a
credit Securities of like tenor 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 the Securities of like tenor of such series
required to be made pursuant to the terms of such Securities as provided for by
the terms of such series; provided that such Securities have not been previously
so credited. Such Securities shall be received and credited for such purpose by
the Trustee at the Redemption Price specified in such Securities for redemption
through operation of the sinking fund and the amount of such sinking fund
payment shall be reduced accordingly.

     SECTION 12.03 REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES FOR SINKING FUND.

     Not less than 60 days prior to each sinking fund payment date for
Securities of like tenor of a series, 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 of like tenor of that series pursuant to Section 12.02 and, at the
time of delivery of such Officers' Certificate, will also deliver to the Trustee
any Securities to be so delivered. Not less than 45 days before each such
sinking fund payment date the Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed
upon such sinking fund payment date in the manner specified in Section 11.03 and
cause notice of the redemption thereof to be given in the name of and at the
expense of the Company in the manner provided in Section 11.04. Such notice
having been duly given, the redemption of such Securities shall be made upon the
terms and in the manner stated in Sections 11.06 and 11.07.

there shall exist with respect to any such Senior Indebtedness any event of
default permitting the holders thereof to accelerate the maturity thereof at any
event which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would become such an event of
default.

     SECTION 13.03 SECURITIES SUBORDINATED TO PRIOR PAYMENT OF ALL SENIOR
INDEBTEDNESS OF THE COMPANY ON DISSOLUTION, LIQUIDATION OR REORGANIZATION OF THE
COMPANY; SUBROGATION.

     Upon any distribution of the assets of the Company in connection with

subsequent to the commencement of any proceeding for the bankruptcy or
reorganization of the Company under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, or
similar law now or hereafter in effect) before the Holders of the Securities are

any other indebtedness of the Company being subordinated to the payment of the
Securities, shall be made by the liquidating trustee or agent or other person

days before the expiration of the time to file such claim or claims, pursuant to
the authority granted to the Trustee pursuant to the provisions of Sections 5.03
and 5.04, then the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company are hereby
authorized to file an appropriate claim or claims for and on behalf of the
Holders of the Securities in the form required in any such proceeding.

     In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, upon any such
dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization, any payment or
distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash,
property or securities, including any such payment or distribution which may be
payable or deliverable by reason of the payment of any other indebtedness of the
Company being subordinated to the payment of the Securities, shall be received
by the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Holders of the Securities before all
Senior Indebtedness of the Company is paid in full, such payment or distribution
shall be paid over to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness or their
representative or representatives or to the trustee or trustees under any
indenture under which any instruments evidencing any of such Senior Indebtedness
may have been issued, ratably as aforesaid, for application to the payment of
all Senior Indebtedness of the Company remaining unpaid until all such Senior
Indebtedness shall have been paid in full, after giving effect to any concurrent
payment or distribution (or provision thereof) to the holders of such Senior
Indebtedness.

     Subject to the payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness of the Company,
the Holders of the Securities shall be subrogated to the rights of the holders
of such Senior Indebtedness to receive payments or distributions of assets of
the Company applicable to such Senior Indebtedness until the Securities shall be
paid in full and none of the payments or distributions to the holders of such
Senior Indebtedness to which the Holders of the Securities or the Trustee would
be entitled except for the provisions of this Article or of payments over,
pursuant to the provisions of this Article, to the holders of such Senior
Indebtedness by the Holders of the Securities or the Trustee shall, as between
the Company, its creditors other than the holders of such Senior Indebtedness,
and the Holders of the Securities, be deemed to be a payment by the Company to
or on account of such Senior Indebtedness; it being understood that the
provisions of this Article are and are intended solely for the purpose of
defining the relative rights of the

                                       75
<Page>

Holders of the Securities, on the one hand, and the holders of the Senior
Indebtedness of the Company, on the other hand.

     The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any
dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization of the Company within the
meaning of this Article. The Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 6.01,
shall be entitled to assume that no such event has occurred and shall not be
charged with knowledge of the existence of any facts which would prohibit the
making of any payment of moneys to or by the Trustee or the taking of any other
action by the Trustee, unless the Company or any one or more holders of Senior
Indebtedness (or any one or more creditors in respect of General Obligations) or
any trustee therefor who shall have been certified or otherwise established to
the satisfaction of the Trustee to be such a holder of Senior Indebtedness (or
creditor in respect General Obligations) or trustee has given written notice
thereof to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office.
Upon any distribution of assets of the Company referred to in this Article, the
Trustee and the Holders of the Securities shall be entitled to rely upon any
order or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction in which such dissolution,
winding up, liquidation or reorganization proceedings are pending for the
purpose of ascertaining the persons entitled to participate in such
distribution, the holders of the Senior Indebtedness (and the creditors in
respect of General Obligations), the amount thereof or payable thereon, the
amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent
thereto or to this Article, and the Trustee, subject to the provisions of
Article Six, and the Holders of the Securities shall be entitled to rely upon a
certificate of the liquidating trustee or agent or other person making any
distribution to the Trustee or to the Holders of the Securities for the purpose
of ascertaining the persons entitled to participate in such distribution, the
holders of the Senior Indebtedness (and the creditors in respect of General
Obligations), the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid
or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article.
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
Indebtedness (or a creditor in respect of General Obligations), to participate
in any payment or distribution pursuant to this Section, the Trustee may request
such person to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee as
to the amount of such Senior indebtedness (or General Obligations) held by such
person, as to the extent to which such person is entitled to participation in
such payment or distribution, and as to other facts pertinent to the rights of
such person under this Section, 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 13.04 OBLIGATION OF THE COMPANY UNCONDITIONAL.

     Nothing contained in this Article or elsewhere in this Indenture or in the
Securities is intended to or shall impair, as between the Company and the
Holders of the Securities, the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and
unconditional, to pay to the Holders of the Securities the principal of (and
premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any) and interest (including interest accruing
subsequent to the commencement of any proceeding for the bankruptcy or
reorganization of the Company under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or
similar law now or hereafter in effect) on the Securities as and when the same
shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms thereof, or is
intended to or shall affect the relative rights of the Holders of the Securities
and creditors of the Company, other than the holders of Senior

                                       76
<Page>

Indebtedness (and, in the case of Section 13.14, other than creditors in respect
of General Obligations), nor shall anything herein or therein prevent the
Trustee or the Holder of any Securities from exercising all remedies otherwise
permitted by applicable law upon default under this Indenture, subject to the
rights, if any, under this Article of the holders of Senior Indebtedness (and
the rights, if any, under Section 13.14 of creditors in respect of General
Obligations) in respect of cash, property or securities of the Company received
upon the exercise of any such remedy.

     SECTION 13.05 NO FIDUCIARY DUTY TO HOLDERS OF SENIOR INDEBTEDNESS OF THE
COMPANY.

     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article, the Trustee shall
not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Indebtedness
(or creditors in respect of General Obligations), and shall have no duties to
such holders of Senior Indebtedness (or creditors in respect of General
Obligations), except as expressly set forth in this Article and no implied
covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee.
The Trustee shall not be liable to holders of Senior Indebtedness (or creditors
in respect of General Obligations) if it shall mistakenly pay over or distribute
to or on behalf of Holders of Securities or the Company monies or assets to
which any holders of Senior Indebtedness (or creditors in respect of General
Obligations) shall be entitled by virtue of this Article.

     SECTION 13.06 NOTICE TO TRUSTEES OF FACTS PROHIBITING PAYMENTS.

     Notwithstanding any of the provisions of this Article or any other
provision of this Indenture (other than Section 6.01), the Trustee shall not at
any time be charged with knowledge of the existence of any facts which would
prohibit the making of any payment of moneys to or by the Trustee or the taking
of any other action by the Trustee, unless and until a Responsible Officer of
the Trustee shall have received at its Corporate Trust Office written notice
thereof from the Company or from one or more holders of Senior Indebtedness (or
from one or more creditors in respect of General Obligations) or from any
trustee therefor who shall have been certified by the Company or otherwise
established to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee to be such a holder
(or creditor in respect of General Obligations) or trustee; and, prior to the
receipt of any such written notice, the Trustee shall be entitled, subject to
Section 6.01, in all respects to assume that no such facts exist; provided,
that, if prior to the fifth business day preceding the date upon which by the
terms hereof any such moneys may become payable for any purpose, or in the event
of the execution of an instrument pursuant to Section 4.01 acknowledging
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, then if prior to the second
business day preceding the date of such execution, the Trustee shall not have
received with respect to such moneys the notice provided for in this Section,
then, anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee
may, in its discretion, receive such moneys and/or apply the same to the purpose
for which they were received, and shall not be affected by any notice to the
contrary, which may be received by it on or after such date; provided, however,
no such application shall affect the obligations under this Article of the
persons receiving such moneys from the Trustee.

     SECTION 13.07 APPLICATION BY TRUSTEE OF MONEYS DEPOSITED WITH IT.

moneys by the Company with the Trustee or any paying agent (whether or not in
trust) for the payment of the principal of (or premium or Make-Whole Amount, if
any) or interest on for any Securities shall, except as provided in Section
13.06, be subject to the provisions of Sections 13.01, 13.03 and 13.03.

     SECTION 13.08 SUBORDINATION RIGHTS NOT IMPAIRED BY ACTS OR OMISSIONS OF THE
COMPANY OR HOLDERS OF SENIOR INDEBTEDNESS (OR CREDITORS IN RESPECT OF GENERAL
OBLIGATIONS).

     No right of any present or future holders of any Senior Indebtedness (or
any present or future creditors in respect of General Obligations) 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 of Senior Indebtedness (or
such creditor in respect of General Obligations), or by any noncompliance by the
Company with the terms, provisions and covenants of this Indenture, regardless
of any knowledge thereof with which any such holder of Senior Indebtedness (or
any such creditor in respect of General Obligations) may have or be otherwise
charged. The holders of Senior Indebtedness (and creditors of General
Obligations) may at any time or from time to time and in their absolute
discretion change the manner, place or terms of payment, change or extend the
time of payment of, or renew or alter, any such Senior Indebtedness (or any such
General Obligation), or amend or supplement any instrument pursuant to which any
such Senior Indebtedness (or any such General Obligation) is issued or by which
it may be secured, or release any security therefor. or exercise or refrain from
exercising any other of their rights under the senior Indebtedness (or the
General Obligation), including, without limitation, the waiver of default
thereunder, all without notice to or assent from the Holders of the Securities
or the Trustee and without affecting the obligations of the Company, the Trustee
or the Holders of the Securities under this Article.

     SECTION 13.09 AUTHORIZATION OF TRUSTEE TO EFFECTUATE SUBORDINATION OF
SECURITIES.

     Each Holder of a Security, by such Holder's acceptance thereof, authorizes
and expressly directs the Trustee on such Holder's behalf to take such action as
may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate, as between the Holders of the
Securities and the holders of Senior Indebtedness (and creditors in respect of
General Obligations), the subordination provided in this Article and appoints
the Trustee his attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes.

     SECTION 13.10 RIGHT OF TRUSTEE TO HOLD SENIOR INDEBTEDNESS OF THE COMPANY
(OR TO BE A CREDITOR IN RESPECT OF GENERAL OBLIGATIONS OF THE COMPANY).

     The Trustee shall be entitled to all of the rights set forth in this
Article in respect of any Senior Indebtedness (or General Obligations) of the
Company at any time held by it or owed to it

                                       78
<Page>

to the same extent as any other holder of such Senior Indebtedness (or creditor
in respect of such General Obligations), and nothing in this Indenture shall be
construed to deprive the Trustee of any of its rights as such holder (or
creditor in respect of such General Obligations).

     SECTION 13.11 ARTICLE THIRTEEN NOT TO PREVENT EVENTS OF DEFAULT.

     The failure to make a payment pursuant to the Securities by reason of any
provision in this Article shall not be construed as preventing the occurrence of
a default, a Default or an Event of Default.

     In case at any time Paying Agent other than the Trustee shall have been
appointed by the Company and be then acting hereunder, the term "Trustee" as
used in this Article shall in such case (unless the context shall require
otherwise) be construed as extending to and including such Paying Agent as if
such Paying Agent were named in this Article in addition to or in place of the
Trustee; provided, however, that Sections 13.06 and 13.10 shall not apply to the
Company if it acts as Paying Agent hereunder.

     SECTION 13.13 TRUSTEE COMPENSATION NOT PREJUDICED.

     Nothing in this Article shall apply to claims of, or payments to, the
Trustee pursuant to Section 6.07.

     SECTION 13.14 PAYMENT OF PROCEEDS IN CERTAIN CASES.

          (1) Upon any distribution of the assets of the Company in connection
     with dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization of the Company
     (whether in bankruptcy, insolvency or receivership proceedings or upon an
     assignment for the benefit of creditors or any other marshalling of the
     assets and liabilities of the Company or otherwise), the provisions of
     Section 13.03 shall be given effect to determine the amount of cash,
     property or securities which may be payable or deliverable as between the
     holders of Senior Indebtedness, on the one hand, and the Holders of
     Securities, on the other hand.

          (2) If, after giving effect to the provisions of Section 13.03, any
     amount of cash, property or securities shall be available for payment or
     distribution in respect of the Securities ("Excess Proceeds"), and any
     creditors in respect of General Obligations shall not have received payment
     in full of all amounts due or to become due on or in respect of such
     General Obligations, then such Excess Proceeds shall first be applied
     (ratably with any amount of cash, property or securities available for
     payment or distribution in respect of any other indebtedness of the Company
     that by its express terms provides for the payment over of amounts
     corresponding to Excess Proceeds to creditors in respect of General
     Obligations) to pay or provide for the payment of the General Obligations
     remaining unpaid, to the extent necessary to pay all such General
     Obligations in full, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or
     distribution to or for creditors in respect of General Obligations. Any
     Excess Proceeds remaining after the payment (or provision for

                                       79
<Page>

          payment) in full of all General Obligations shall be available for
     payment or distribution in respect of the Securities.

     subsection (b) of this Section, upon any such dissolution, winding up,
     liquidation or reorganization, any payment or distribution of assets of the
     Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities,
     including any such payment or distribution which may be payable or
     deliverable by reason of the payment of any other indebtedness of the
     Company being subordinated to the payment of the Securities, shall be
     received by the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Holders of the Securities
     before all General Obligations are paid in full or payment thereof duly
     provided for, subject to any obligation that the Trustee or such Holder may
     have pursuant to Section 13.03, such payment or distribution shall be paid
     over or delivered forthwith to the trustee in bankruptcy, receiver,
     liquidating trustee, custodian, assignee, agent or other Person making
     payment or distribution of assets of the Company for payment in accordance
     with subsection (b).

          (4) Subject to the payment in full of all General Obligations, the
     Holders of the Securities shall be subrogated (equally and ratably with the
     holders of all indebtedness of the Company that by its express terms
     provides for the payment over of amounts corresponding to Excess Proceeds
     to creditors in respect of such General Obligations and is entitled to like
     rights of subrogation) to the rights of the creditors in respect of such
     General Obligations to receive payments and distributions of cash, property
     and securities applicable to such General Obligations until the Securities
     shall be paid in full, and none of the payments or distributions to
     creditors in respect of such General Obligations to which Holders of the
     Securities or the Trustee would be entitled except for the provisions of
     this Section and no payments over, pursuant to the provisions of this
     Section, to creditors in respect of such General Obligations by Holders of
     Securities or the Trustee, shall, as among the Company, its creditors other
     than creditors in respect of such General Obligations, and the Holders of
     Securities, be deemed to be a payment or distribution by the Company to or
     on account of such General Obligations.

          (5) The provisions of subsections (b), (c) and (d) of this Section are
     and are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of
     the Holders of the Securities, on the one hand, and the creditors in
     respect of General Obligations, on the other hand, after giving effect to
     the rights of the holders of Senior Indebtedness, as provided in this
     Article. Nothing contained in subsections (b), (c) and (d) of this Section
     is intended to or shall affect the relative rights against the Company of
     the Holders of the Securities and (1) the holders of Senior Indebtedness or
     (2) other creditors of the Company other than creditors in respect of
     General Obligations.

made for either or both of (a) Defeasance of the Securities of or within a
series under Section 14.02 or (b) Covenant Defeasance of the Securities of or
within a series under Section 14.03, then the provisions of such Section or
Sections, as the case may be, together with the other provisions of this Article
(with such modifications thereto as may be specified pursuant to Section 301
with respect to any Securities), shall be applicable to such Securities and any
coupons appertaining thereto, and the Company may at its option by Board Vote,
at any time, with respect to such Securities and any coupons appertaining
thereto, elect to have Section 14.02 (if applicable) or Section 14.03 (if
applicable) be applied to such Outstanding Securities and any coupons
appertaining thereto upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this
Article.

     SECTION 14.02 DEFEASANCE AND DISCHARGE. Upon the Company's exercise of
the above option applicable to this Section with respect to any Securities of
or within a series, the Company shall be deemed to have been discharged from
its obligations with respect to such Outstanding Securities and any coupons
appertaining thereto on the date the conditions set forth in Section 14.04
are satisfied (hereinafter, "Defeasance"). For this purpose, such Defeasance
means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire
indebtedness represented by such Outstanding Securities and any coupons
appertaining thereto, which shall thereafter be deemed to be "Outstanding"
only for the purposes of Section 14.05 and the other Sections of this
Indenture referred to in clauses (A) and (B) below, and to have satisfied all
of its other obligations under such Securities and any coupons appertaining
thereto and this Indenture insofar as such Securities and any coupons
appertaining thereto are concerned (and the Trustee, at the expense of the
Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for
the following which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged
hereunder: (A) the rights of Holders of such Outstanding Securities and any
coupons appertaining thereto to receive, solely from the trust fund described
in Section 14.04 and as more fully set forth in such Section, payments in
respect of the principal of (and premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any) and
interest, if any, on such Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto
when such payments are due, (B) the Company's obligations with respect to
such Securities under Sections 3.05, 3.06, 10.02 and 10.03, and the Company's
obligations under Section 606 hereof (C) the rights, powers, trusts, duties
and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and (D) this Article. Subject to
compliance with this Article, the Company may exercise its option under this
Section notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 14.03
with respect to such Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto.

     SECTION 14.03 COVENANT DEFEASANCE. Upon the Company's exercise of the
above option applicable to this Section with respect to any Securities of or
within a series, the Company shall be released from its obligations under
Sections 10.04 to 10.09, inclusive, and, if specified pursuant to Section
3.01, its obligations under any other covenant contained herein or in any

                                       81
<Page>

indenture supplemental hereto, with respect to such Outstanding Securities
and any coupons appertaining thereto on and after the date the conditions set
forth in Section 14.04 are satisfied (hereinafter, "Covenant Defeasance"),
and such Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto shall thereafter be
deemed to be not "Outstanding" for the purposes of any direction, waiver,
consent or declaration or Act of Holders (and the consequences of any
thereof) in connection with Sections 10.04 to 10.09, inclusive, or such other
covenant, but shall continue to be deemed "Outstanding" for all other
purposes hereunder. For this purpose, such Covenant Defeasance means that,
with respect to such Outstanding Securities and any coupons appertaining
thereto, 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 Section or
such other covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any
reference elsewhere herein to any such Section or such other covenant or by
reason of reference in any such Section or such other covenant to any other
provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall
not constitute a default or an Event of Default under Section 5.01(4) or
5.01(8) or otherwise, as the case may be, but, except as specified above, the
remainder of this Indenture and such Securities and any coupons appertaining
thereto shall be unaffected thereby.

     SECTION 14.04 CONDITIONS TO DEFEASANCE OR COVENANT DEFEASANCE. The
following shall be the conditions to application of Section 14.02 or Section

concerned, at any time during the period ending on the 91st day after the

Holders of such Outstanding Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto will
not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result
of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to Federal income tax on the

case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred.

Section 14.04 in respect of any Outstanding Securities of any series and any
coupons appertaining thereto shall be held in trust and applied by the
Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Securities and any coupons
appertaining thereto and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or
through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying
Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Securities and
any coupons appertaining thereto of all sums due and to become due thereon in
respect of principal (and premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any) and interest,
but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent
required by law.

     Unless otherwise specified with respect to any Security pursuant to
Section 3.01, if, after a deposit referred to in Section 14.04(a) has been
made, (a) the Holder of a Security in respect of which such deposit was made
is entitled to, and does, elect pursuant to Section 301 or the terms of such
Security to receive payment in a currency or currency unit other than that in
which the deposit pursuant to Section 14.04(a) has been made in respect of
such Security, or (b) a Conversion Event occurs in respect of the currency or
currency unit in which the deposit pursuant to Section 14.04(a) has been
made, the indebtedness represented by such Security and any coupons
appertaining thereto shall be deemed to have been, and will be, fully
discharged and satisfied through the payment of the principal of (and premium
or Make-Whole Amount, if any), and interest, if any, on such Security as the
same becomes due out of the proceeds yielded by converting (from time to time
as specified below in the case of any such election) the amount or other
property deposited in respect of such Security into the currency or currency
unit in which such Security becomes payable as a result of such election or
Conversion Event based on the applicable market exchange rate for such
currency or currency unit in effect on the second Business Day prior to each
payment date, except, with respect to a Conversion Event, for such currency
or currency unit in effect (as nearly as feasible) at the time of the
Conversion Event.

     The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or
other charge imposed on or assessed against the Government Obligations deposited
pursuant to Section 14.04 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 such Outstanding Securities and any coupons
appertaining thereto.

     Anything in this Article to the contrary notwithstanding, subject to
Section 6.06, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to
time upon Company Request any money or Government Obligations (or other
property and any proceeds therefrom) held by it as provided in Section 14.04
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 a Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance, as applicable, in
accordance with this Article.

     SECTION 15.05 DETERMINATION OF VOTING RIGHTS; CONDUCT AND ADJOURNMENT OF
MEETINGS.

          (a) Notwithstanding any provisions of this Indenture, the Trustee may
make such reasonable regulations as it may deem advisable for any meeting of
Holders of Securities of a series in regard to proof of the holding of
Securities of such series and of the appointment of proxies and in regard to the
appointment and duties of inspectors of votes, the submission and examination of
proxies, certificates and other evidence of the right to vote, and such other
matters concerning the conduct of the meeting as it shall deem appropriate.
Except as otherwise permitted or required by any such regulations, the holding
of Securities shall be proved in the manner specified in Section 104 and the
appointment of any proxy shall be proved in the manner specified in Section 104
or by having the signature of the Person executing the proxy witnessed or
guaranteed by any trust company, bank or banker authorized by Section 104 to
certify to the holding of Bearer Securities. Such regulations may provide that
written instruments appointing proxies, regular on their face, may be presumed
valid and genuine without the proof specified in Section 104 or other proof.

          (b) The Trustee shall, by an instrument in writing appoint a temporary
chairman of the meeting, unless the meeting shall have been called by the
Company or by Holders of Securities as provided in Section 15.02(b), in which
case the Company or the Holders of Securities of the series calling the meeting,
as the case may be, shall in like manner appoint a temporary chairman. A
permanent chairman and a permanent secretary of the meeting shall be elected by
vote of the Persons entitled to vote a majority in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of such series represented at the meeting.

          (c) At any meeting each Holder of a Security of such series or proxy
shall be entitled to one vote for each $1,000 principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of such series held or represented by him; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that no vote shall be cast or counted at any meeting in respect of any
Security challenged as not Outstanding and ruled by the chairman of the meeting
to be not Outstanding. The chairman of the meeting shall have no right to vote,
except as a Holder of a Security of such series or proxy.

          (d) Any meeting of Holders of Securities of any series duly called
pursuant to Section 15.02 at which a quorum is present may be adjourned from
time to time by Persons entitled to vote a majority in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of such series represented at the meeting, and the
meeting may be held as so adjourned without further notice.

     SECTION 15.06 COUNTING VOTES AND RECORDING ACTION OF MEETINGS. The vote
upon any resolution submitted to any meeting of Holders of Securities of any
series shall be by written ballots on which shall be subscribed the signatures
of the Holders of Securities of such series or of their representatives by proxy
and the principal amounts and serial numbers of the Outstanding Securities of
such series held or represented by them. The permanent chairman of the meeting
shall appoint two inspectors of votes who shall count all votes cast at the
meeting for or against any resolution and who shall make and file with the
secretary of the meeting their verified written reports in duplicate of all
votes cast at the meeting. A record, at least in duplicate, of the proceedings
of each meeting of Holders of Securities of any series shall be prepared by the
secretary of the meeting and there shall be attached to said record the original

                                       87
<Page>

reports of the inspectors of votes on any vote by ballot taken thereat and
affidavits by one or more persons having knowledge of the fact, setting forth a
copy of the notice of the meeting and showing that said notice was given as
provided in Section 15.02 and, if applicable, Section 15.04. Each copy shall be
signed and verified by the affidavits of the permanent chairman and secretary of
the meeting and one such copy shall be delivered to the Company and another to
the Trustee to be preserved by the Trustee, the latter to have attached thereto
the ballots voted at the meeting. Any record so signed and verified shall be
conclusive evidence of the matters therein stated.

                   ARTICLE SIXTEEN -- CONVERSION OF SECURITIES

     SECTION 16.01 APPLICABILITY OF ARTICLE; CONVERSION PRIVILEGE AND CONVERSION
PRICE.

     Securities of any series which are convertible shall be convertible in
accordance with their terms and (except as otherwise specified as contemplated
by Section 301 for Securities of any series) in accordance with this Article.
Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this Article, at any time
during the period specified in the Securities, at the option of the Holder
thereof, any Security or any portion of the principal amount thereof which is
$1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 may be converted at the principal
amount thereof, or of such portion thereof, into fully paid and nonassessable
shares (calculated as to each conversion to the nearest 1/100 of a share) of
Common Stock of the Company, at the Conversion Price, determined as hereinafter
provided, in effect at the time of conversion. In case a Security or portion
thereof is called for redemption, such conversion right in respect of the
Security or portion so called shall expire at the close of business on the
Business Day immediately preceding the Redemption Date, unless the Company
defaults in making the payment due upon redemption, in which case such
conversion right shall terminate on the date such default is cured.

     The price at which shares of Common Stock shall be delivered upon
conversion (herein called the "Conversion Price") of Securities of any series
shall be specified in such Securities. The Conversion Price shall be adjusted in
certain instances as provided in Section 16.04.

     In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, declare or make a
distribution on its Common Stock referred to in paragraph (4) of Section 16.04,
the Holder of each Security, upon the conversion thereof pursuant to this
Article subsequent to the close of business on the date fixed for the
determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution and prior to
the effectiveness of the Conversion Price adjustment in respect of such
distribution pursuant to paragraph (4) of Section 16.04, shall be entitled to
receive for each share of Common Stock into which such Security is converted,
the portion of the evidence of indebtedness, shares of Capital Stock or assets
so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock; provided, however, that,
at the election of the Company (whose election shall be evidenced by a Board
Vote filed with the Trustee) with respect to all Holders so converting, the
Company may, in lieu of distributing to such Holder any portion of such
distribution not consisting of cash or securities of the Company, pay such
Holder an amount in cash equal to the fair market value thereof (as determined
in good faith by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive
and described in a Board Vote filed with the Trustee). If any conversion of a
Security entitled to the benefits

                                       88
<Page>

described in the immediately preceding sentence occurs prior to the payment date
for a distribution to holders of Common Stock which the Holder of the Security
so converted is entitled to receive in accordance with the immediately preceding
sentence, the Company may elect (such election to be evidenced by a Board Vote
filed with the Trustee) to distribute to such Holder a due bill for the
evidences of indebtedness, shares of Capital Stock or assets to which such
Holder is so entitled, provided that such due bill (i) meets any applicable
requirements of the principal national securities exchange or other market on
which the Common Stock is then traded, and (ii) requires payment or delivery of
such evidences of indebtedness or assets no later than the date of payment or
delivery thereof to holders of Common Stock receiving such distribution.

     SECTION 16.02 EXERCISE OF CONVERSION PRIVILEGE.

     In order to exercise the conversion privilege, the Holder of any Security
to be converted shall surrender such Security, duly endorsed or assigned to the
Company or in blank, at any office or agency maintained by the Company pursuant
to Section 1002, accompanied by written notice to the Company at such office or
agency that the Holder elects to convert such Security or, if less than the
entire principal amount thereof is to be converted, the portion thereof to be
converted and shall comply with any additional requirements set forth in such
Security. Securities surrendered for conversion during the period from the close
of business on any Regular Record Date next preceding any Interest Payment Date
to the opening of business on such Interest Payment Date shall (except for
Securities the Maturity of which is prior to such Interest Payment Date) 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
Securities being surrendered for conversion and such interest shall be paid on
such Interest Payment Date as provided in Section 307. Except as provided in the
preceding sentence, no payment or adjustment shall be made upon any conversion
on account of any interest accrued on the Securities surrendered for conversion
or on account of any dividends on the Common Stock issued upon conversion.

     The Company's delivery to the Holder of the fixed number of shares of the
Common Stock of the Company (and any cash in lieu of any fractional share of
Common Stock) into which the Security is convertible shall be deemed to satisfy
the Company's obligation to pay the principal amount of the Security and all
accrued interest and original issue discount that has not previously been paid.
The shares of Common Stock of the Company so delivered shall be treated as
issued first in payment of accrued interest and original issue discount and then
in payment of principal. Thus, accrued interest and original issue discount
shall be treated as paid, rather than canceled, extinguished or forfeited.

     Securities shall be deemed to have been converted immediately prior to the
close of business on the day of surrender of such Securities for conversion in
accordance with the foregoing provisions, and at such time the rights of the
Holders of such Securities as Holders shall cease, and the Person or Persons
entitled to receive the Common Stock issuable upon conversion shall be treated
for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such Common Stock at such
time. As promptly as practicable on or after the conversion date, the Company
shall issue and shall deliver at such office or agency a certificate or
certificates for the number of

                                       89
<Page>

full shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion, together with payment in
lieu of any fraction of a share, as provided in Section 16.03.

     In the case of any Security which is converted in part only, as promptly as
practicable on or after the conversion date the Company shall execute and the
Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery to the Holder thereof
(or the Depositary in the case of a Global Security), at the expense of the
Company, a new Security or Securities, of authorized denominations in aggregate
principal amount equal to the unconverted portion of the principal amount of
such Security.

     SECTION 16.03 FRACTIONS OF SHARES.

     No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of
Securities. If more than one Security shall be surrendered for conversion at one
time by the same Holder, the number of full shares of Common Stock which shall
be issuable upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the
aggregate principal amount of the Securities (or specified portions thereof) so
surrendered. Instead of any fractional share of Common Stock which would
otherwise be issuable upon conversion of any Security or Securities (or
specified portions thereof), the Company shall pay a cash adjustment (rounded to
the nearest cent) in respect of such fraction in an amount equal to the same
fraction of the Closing Price per share of the Common Stock on the day of
conversion (or, if such day is not a Trading Day, on the Trading Day immediately
preceding such day).

     SECTION 16.04 ADJUSTMENT OF CONVERSION PRICE.

     The Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as
follows:

                    (i) If the Company pays or makes a dividend or other
          distribution (a) on its Common Stock exclusively in Common Stock or
          (b) on any other class of Capital Stock of the Company, which dividend
          or distribution includes Common Stock of the Company, the Conversion
          Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the
          date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive
          such dividend or other distribution (the "Dividend Record Date") shall
          be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which
          the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock of the
          Company outstanding at the close of business on the Dividend Record
          Date and the denominator shall be the sum of such number of shares and
          the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other
          distribution. Such reduction shall become effective immediately after
          the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such
          determination. For the purposes of this paragraph (1), the number of
          shares of Common Stock of the Company at any time outstanding shall
          not include shares held in the treasury of the Company, but shall
          include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in
          lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock. The Company shall not pay
          any dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock held
          in the treasury of the Company.

                                       90
<Page>

                    (ii) Subject to paragraph (6) of this Section, if the
          Company pays or makes a dividend or other distribution on its Common
          Stock consisting exclusively of Short Term Rights (as defined below),
          or otherwise issues Short Term Rights to all holders of its Common
          Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on
          the day following the record date for the determination of holders of
          Common Stock entitled to receive such Short Term Rights (the "Rights
          Record Date") shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by
          a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of
          Common Stock of the Company outstanding at the close of business on
          the Rights Record Date plus the number of shares of Common Stock of
          the Company which the aggregate of the offering price of the total
          number of shares of Common Stock so offered for subscription or
          purchase would purchase at such current market price and the
          denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock of the
          Company outstanding at the close of business on the Rights Record Date
          plus the number of shares of Common Stock so offered for subscription
          or purchase. Such reduction shall become effective immediately after
          the opening of business on the day following the Rights Record Date.
          For the purposes of this paragraph (2), the number of shares of Common
          Stock of the Company at any time outstanding shall not include shares
          held in the treasury of the Company, but shall include shares issuable
          in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares
          of Common Stock of the Company. The Company shall not issue any
          rights, options or warrants in respect of shares of its Common Stock
          held in the treasury of the Company. When used in this Section 16.04,
          the term "Short Term Rights" shall mean rights, warrants or options
          entitling the holders thereof (for a period commencing no earlier than
          the Rights Record Date and expiring not more than 45 days after the
          Rights Record Date) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common
          Stock of the Company at a price per share less than the current market
          price per share (determined as provided in paragraph (7) of this
          Section 16.04) of the Common Stock of the Company on the Rights Record
          Date.

                    (iii) In case outstanding shares of Common Stock of the
          Company shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common
          Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on
          the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes
          effective shall be proportionately reduced, and, conversely, in case
          outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company shall be combined
          into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price
          in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon
          which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately
          increased, such reduction or increase, as the case may be, to become
          effective immediately after the opening of business on the day
          following the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes
          effective.

                    (iv) Subject to the last sentence of this paragraph (4) of
          this Section, if the Company, by dividend or otherwise, (a)
          distributes to all holders of its Common Stock evidences of its
          indebtedness, shares of any class of Capital Stock of the Company or
          other assets (other than cash dividends out of current or retained
          earnings), or (b) distributes to substantially all holders of Common
          Stock

                                       91
<Page>

          rights or warrants to subscribe for securities (other than Short Term
          Rights to which paragraph (2) of this Section 16.04 applies), the
          Conversion Price shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price
          by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the current market price
          per share (determined as provided in paragraph (7) of this Section
          16.04) of the Common Stock of the Company on the Reference Date (as
          defined below) less the fair market value (as determined in good faith
          by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and
          described in a Board Vote filed with the Trustee), on the Reference
          Date, of the portion of the evidences of indebtedness and other assets
          so distributed or of such subscription rights or warrants applicable
          to one share of Common Stock (collectively, the "Market Value of the
          Distribution") and the denominator shall be such current market price
          per share of the Common Stock of the Company. Such reduction shall
          become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the
          day (the "Reference Date") following the later of (a) the date fixed
          for the payment of such distribution and (b) the date 20 days after
          notice relating to such distribution is required to be given pursuant
          to Section 16.06(a). If the Board of Directors determines the fair
          market value of any distribution for purposes of this paragraph (4) by
          reference to the actual or when issued trading market for any
          securities comprising such distribution, it must in doing so consider
          the prices in such market over the same period used in computing the
          current market price per share pursuant to paragraph (7) of this
          Section 16.04. In the event that, with respect to any distribution to
          which this paragraph (4) of Section 16.04 would otherwise apply, the
          Market Value of the Distribution is greater than the current market
          price per share of the Common Stock (such distribution being referred
          to herein as an "Unadjusted Distribution"), then the adjustment
          provided by this paragraph (4) shall not be made and in lieu thereof
          the provisions of Section 16.11 shall apply with respect to such
          Unadjusted Distribution.

                    (v) The Company may, but shall not be required to, make such
          reductions in the Conversion Price, in addition to those required by
          paragraphs (1), (2), (3), and (4) of this Section 16.04, as it
          considers to be advisable in order that any event treated for federal
          income tax purposes as a dividend of stock or stock rights shall not
          be taxable to the recipients. In addition, the Company, from time to
          time, may decrease the Conversion Price by any amount and for any
          reason, temporarily or otherwise, including situations where the Board
          of Directors determines such decrease to be fair and appropriate with
          respect to transactions in which holders of Common Stock have the
          right to participate.

                    (vi) Rights or warrants issued or distributed by the Company
          to all holders of its Common Stock entitling the holders thereof to
          subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock,
          which rights or warrants (i) are deemed to be transferred with such
          shares of Common Stock, (ii) are not exercisable and (iii) are also
          issued or distributed in respect of future issuances of Common Stock,
          in each case in clauses (i) through (iii) until the occurrence of a
          specified event or events ("Trigger Events"), shall for purposes of
          this Section 16.04 not be deemed issued or distributed until the
          occurrence of the earliest

                                       92
<Page>

          Trigger Event. Each share of Common Stock issued upon conversion of
          Securities pursuant to this Article shall be entitled to receive the
          appropriate number of Common Stock purchase rights (the "Rights"), if
          any, and the certificates representing the Common Stock issued upon
          conversion shall bear such legends, if any. Notwithstanding anything
          to the contrary in this Article, there shall not be any adjustment to
          the Conversion Price as a result of (i) the distribution of separate
          certificates representing the Rights; (ii) the occurrence of certain
          events entitling holders of Rights to receive, upon exercise thereof,
          Common Stock or other securities of the Company or other securities of
          another corporation; or (iii) the exercise of such Rights. No
          adjustment in the Conversion Price need be made for rights to purchase
          or the sale of Common Stock pursuant to a Company plan providing for
          reinvestment of dividends or interest.

                    (vii) For the purpose of any computation under paragraph
          (2), (4) or (5) of this Section 16.04, the "current market price" per
          share of Common Stock of the Company on any date shall be deemed to be
          the average of the daily Closing Prices for the 15 consecutive Trading
          Days selected by the Company commencing not more than 30 Trading Days
          before, and ending not later than, the date in question.

                    (viii) No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be
          required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease
          of at least 1% in the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any
          adjustments which by reason of this paragraph (8) are not required to
          be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any
          subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Article shall be
          made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share of
          Common Stock, as the case may be.

                    (ix) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the
          event the Company shall declare any dividend or distribution requiring
          an adjustment in the Conversion Price hereunder and shall, thereafter
          and before the payment of such dividend or distribution to
          stockholders, legally abandon its plan to pay such dividend or
          distribution, the Conversion Price then in effect hereunder, if
          changed to reflect such dividend or distribution, shall upon the legal
          abandonment of such plan be changed to the Conversion Price which
          would have been in effect at the time of such abandonment (after
          giving effect to all other adjustments not so legally abandoned
          pursuant to the provisions of this Article) had such dividend or
          distribution never been declared.

                    (x) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section
          16.04, no adjustment to the Conversion Price shall reduce the
          Conversion Price below the then par value per share of the Common
          Stock of the Company, and any such purported adjustment shall instead
          reduce the Conversion Price to such par value. Notwithstanding the
          foregoing sentence, the Company hereby covenants that it will from
          time to time take all such action as may be required to assure that
          the par value per share of the Common Stock is at all times equal to
          or less than the Conversion Price.

                                       93
<Page>

                    (xi) In the event that this Article requires adjustments to
          the Conversion Price under more than one of paragraphs (1), (2), (3)
          or (4) of this Section 16.04, and the record or effective dates for
          the transaction giving rise to such adjustments shall occur on the
          same date, then such adjustments shall be made by applying (to the
          extent they are applicable), first, the provisions of paragraph (3) of
          this Section 16.04, second, the provisions of paragraph (1) of this
          Section 16.04, third, the provisions of paragraph (4) of this Section
          16.04 and, fourth, the provisions of paragraph (2) of this Section
          16.04. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, no single
          event shall require or result in duplicative adjustments in the
          Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 16.04. After an adjustment
          to the Conversion Price under this Article, any subsequent event
          requiring an adjustment under this Article shall cause an adjustment
          to the Conversion Price as so adjusted. If, after an adjustment, a
          Holder of a Security upon conversion of such Security receives shares
          of two or more classes of Capital Stock of the Company, the Conversion
          Price shall thereafter be subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of
          an action taken with respect to any such class of Capital Stock as is
          contemplated by this Article with respect to the Common Stock in this
          Article.

     SECTION 16.05 NOTICE OF ADJUSTMENTS OF CONVERSION PRICE.

     Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein provided:

                    (i) the Company shall compute the adjusted Conversion Price
          in accordance with Section 16.04 or Section 16.11 and shall prepare an
          Officer's 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 (with a copy to
          the Trustee) at each office or agency maintained for the purpose of
          conversion of any Securities pursuant to Section 1002; and

                    (ii) a notice stating that the Conversion Price has been
          adjusted and setting forth the adjusted Conversion Price shall
          forthwith be required, and as soon as practicable after it is
          required, such notice shall be mailed by the Company to all Holders at
          their last addresses as they shall appear in the Security Register.

     SECTION 16.06 NOTICE OF CERTAIN CORPORATE ACTION.

          In case:
                    (i) the Company shall take any action that would require a
          Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to Section 16.04 or Section
          16.11; or

                    (ii) there shall occur any reclassification of the Common
          Stock of the Company (other than a subdivision or combination of its
          outstanding shares of Common Stock), or any consolidation or merger to
          which the Company is a party, or the sale, transfer or lease of all or
          substantially all of the assets of the

                                       94
<Page>

          Company and for which approval of any stockholders of the Company is
          required; or

                    (iii) there shall occur the voluntary or involuntary
          dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company,

then the Company shall cause to be filed at each office or agency maintained for
the purpose of conversion of Securities pursuant to Section 1002, and shall
cause to be mailed to all Holders at their last addresses as they shall appear
in the Security Register, at least 10 days prior to the applicable record,
effective or expiration date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the
date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of any dividend,
distribution or granting of rights, warrants or options, 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 (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation,
merger, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is expected to
become effective, and, if applicable, 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, sale, transfer, dissolution,
liquidation or winding up.

     SECTION 16.07 COMPANY TO RESERVE 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, a number of shares of Common
Stock for the conversion of all outstanding Securities of any series which is
convertible into Common Stock.

     SECTION 16.08 TAXES ON CONVERSION.

     The Company will pay any and all taxes that may be payable in respect of
the issue or delivery of shares of 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 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 16.09 COVENANTS AS TO COMMON STOCK.

     The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock which may be issued
upon conversion of Securities will upon issue be duly and validly issued, fully
paid and nonassessable, free of preemptive or any similar rights, and, except as
provided in Section 16.08, the Company will pay all taxes, liens and charges
with respect to the issue thereof.

     The Company will endeavor promptly to comply with all Federal and state
securities laws regulating the offer and delivery of shares of Common Stock upon
conversion of Securities, if any, and will list or cause to have quoted such
shares of Common Stock on each national

                                       95
<Page>

securities exchange or in the over-the-counter market or such other market on
which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted.

     SECTION 16.10 CANCELLATION OF CONVERTED SECURITIES.

     All Securities delivered for conversion shall be delivered to the Trustee
to be cancelled by or at the direction of the Trustee, which shall dispose of
the same as provided in Section 3.09.

     SECTION 16.11 PROVISIONS IN CASE OF CONSOLIDATION, MERGER OR SALE OF
ASSETS; SPECIAL DISTRIBUTIONS.

     If any of the following shall occur, namely: (i) any reclassification or
change of outstanding shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of
Securities (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value,
or from no par value to par value, or as a result of a subdivision or
combination), (ii) any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party
other than a merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation and which
does not result in any reclassification of, or change (other than a change in
name, or par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to
par value or as a result of a subdivision or combination) in, outstanding shares
of Common Stock or (iii) any sale or conveyance of all or substantially all of
the property or business of the Company as an entirety, then the Person formed
by such consolidation or resulting from such merger or which acquires such
properties or assets, as the case may be, shall as a condition precedent to such
transaction execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture
providing that the Holder of each Security then outstanding shall have the right
thereafter, during the period such Security shall be convertible as specified in
Section 16.01, to convert such Security only into the kind and amount of
securities, cash and other property receivable, if any, upon such consolidation,
merger, 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, sale, transfer or lease;
provided that the kind and amount of securities, cash and other property so
receivable shall be determined on the basis of the following assumptions. The
holder of Common Stock referred to in the foregoing sentence:

                    (i) is not (a) a Person with which the Company consolidated,
          (b) a Person into which the Company merged or which merged into the
          Company, or (c) a Person to which such sale, transfer or lease was
          made (any Person described in the foregoing clauses (a), (b), or (c),
          hereinafter referred to as a "Constituent Person"), or (d) 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, sale, transfer or lease
          (provided that if the kind or amount of securities, cash and other
          property receivable upon such consolidation, merger, sale transfer or
          lease is not the same for each share of Common Stock of the Company in
          respect of which such rights of election shall not have been
          exercised, then for the purpose of this Section 16.11 the kind and
          amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such
          consolidation, merger,

                                       96
<Page>

          sale, transfer or lease shall be deemed to be the kind and amount so
          receivable per share by a plurality of such shares of Common Stock).

     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. If, in the case of any such consolidation, merger, sale transfer or
lease the stock or other securities and property (including cash) receivable
thereupon by a holder of Common Stock includes shares of stock or other
securities and property of a corporation other than the successor or purchasing
corporation, as the case may be, in such consolidation, merger, sale, transfer
or lease then such supplemental indenture shall also be executed by such other
corporation and shall contain such additional provisions to protect the
interests of the Holders of the Securities as the Board of Directors of the
Company shall reasonably consider necessary by reason of the foregoing. The
above provisions of this Section 16.11 shall similarly apply to successive
consolidations, mergers, sales, transfers or leases.

     In the event the Company shall execute a supplemental indenture pursuant to
this Section 16.11, the Company shall promptly file with the Trustee an
Officers' Certificate briefly stating the reasons therefor, the kind or amount
of shares of stock or securities or property (including cash) receivable by
Holders of the Securities upon the conversion of their Securities after any such
reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or lease and any
adjustment to be made with respect thereto.

     If the Company makes a distribution to all holders of its Common Stock that
constitutes an Unadjusted Distribution pursuant to the last sentence of
paragraph (4) of Section 16.04, then, from and after the record date for
determining the holders of Common Stock entitled to receive such distribution
(the "Distribution Record Date"), a Holder of a Security who converts such
Security in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture shall, upon
conversion, be entitled to receive, in addition to the shares of Common Stock
into which the Security is convertible, the kind and amount of evidences of
indebtedness, shares of Capital Stock, or other assets or subscription rights or
warrants, as the case may be, comprising the distribution that such Holder would
have received if such Holder had converted the Security immediately prior to the
Distribution Record Date.

     SECTION 16.12 TRUSTEE ADJUSTMENT DISCLAIMER; COMPANY DETERMINATION FINAL.

     The Trustee has no duty to determine when an adjustment under this Article
should be made, how it should be made or what it should be. The Trustee has no
duty to determine whether a supplemental indenture under Section 16.11 need be
entered into or whether any provisions of any supplemental indenture are
correct. The Trustee shall not be accountable for and makes no representation as
to the validity or value of any securities or assets issued upon conversion of
Securities. The Trustee shall not be responsible for the Company's failure to
comply with this Article. Any determination that the Company or the Board of
Directors must make pursuant to this Article is conclusive, absent manifest
error.

                                       97
<Page>

     SECTION 16.13 WHEN NO ADJUSTMENT REQUIRED.

          (a) Except as expressly set forth in Section 16.04, no adjustment in
the Conversion Price shall be made because the Company issues, in exchange for
cash, property or services, shares of its Common Stock, or any securities
convertible into or exchangeable for shares of its Common Stock, or securities
(including warrants, rights and options) carrying the right to subscribe for or
purchase shares of its Common Stock or such convertible or exchangeable
securities.

          (b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no adjustment in
the Conversion Price shall be made pursuant to Section 16.04 in respect of any
dividend or distribution if the Holders may participate therein (on a basis to
be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors) and receive the same
consideration they would have received if they had converted the Securities
immediately prior to the record date with respect to such dividend or
distribution.

     SECTION 16.14 EQUIVALENT ADJUSTMENTS.

          In the event that, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to
Section 16.04 above, the holder of any Security thereafter surrendered for
conversion shall become entitled to receive any shares of Capital Stock of the
Company other than shares of its Common Stock, thereafter the Conversion Price
of such other shares so receivable upon conversion of any Securities shall be
subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly
equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to Common Stock
contained in this Article.

SICOR INC.
  AMENDED AND RESTATED 1997 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN    
  

        1.    Introduction and Purpose of the Plan.    The Plan was adopted by the Board on November 12, 1996, and
approved by the Company's stockholders February 26, 1997. The Plan is effective as of February 26, 1997. The Plan replaces the Amended and Restated 1990 Stock Plan of Gensia, Inc.
(the "1990 Stock Plan"). The Plan was amended by the Board on June 20, 1997, April 17, 1998, February 10, 1999, February 28, 2000, April 9, 2001 and
November 6, 2001. 

        The
purpose of the Plan is to promote the interests of SICOR Inc., and its shareholders by encouraging officers and Key Employees to acquire stock or increase their proprietary
interest in the Company. By thus providing the opportunity to acquire Company stock and receive incentive payments, the Company seeks to attract and retain such Key Employees upon whose judgment,
initiative, and leadership the success of the Company largely depends. 

        The
Plan shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of California. 

        2.    Definitions.    Whenever the following terms are used in this Plan, they will have the meanings specified below

all, of the Company's assets; (4) change in the composition of the Board over a two consecutive year period so that individuals who were directors at the beginning of that period no longer
constitute a majority of the Board (unless the election or nomination of each new director was approved by at least two-thirds of the directors who had been directors at the beginning of
the period and who were still in office at the time of the election or nomination); or (5) the acquisition of sufficient Common Shares such that a person who previously did not own at least 30%
of Company Common Shares, thereafter owns at least 30% (except an acquisition by the Company itself, by a subsidiary of the Company or a benefit plan maintained by the Company).

        (ii)  If

        4.    Administration of the Plan.

the composition of the Committee shall satisfy: 

        (1)  Such
requirements, if any, as the Securities and Exchange Commission may establish for administrators acting under plans intended to qualify for exemption under

3

 

        (2)  Such
requirements as the Internal Revenue Service may establish for outside directors acting under plans intended to qualify for exemption under Section 162(m) of
the Code. 

The
Board shall act on its own behalf with respect to the grant or amendment of Incentive Awards to Outside Directors and may also appoint separate committees of the Board, each composed of one or
more officers of the Company who need not be directors of the Company, to administer the Plan with respect to Key Employees who are not "covered employees" under Section 162(m) of the Code and
who are not required to report pursuant to Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act. 

        (b)  The
Committee has and may exercise such powers and authority as may be necessary or appropriate for the Committee to carry out its functions as described in the Plan.
The Committee has authority in its discretion to determine the Eligible Persons to whom, and the time or times at which, Incentive Awards may be granted and the number of shares or Rights subject to
each award. Subject to the express provisions of the Plan, the Committee also has authority to interpret the Plan, and to determine the terms and provisions of the respective Incentive Award
agreements (which need not be identical) and to make all other determinations necessary or advisable for Plan administration. The Committee has authority to prescribe, amend, and rescind rules and
regulations relating to the Plan. All interpretations, determinations, and actions by the Committee will be final, conclusive, and binding upon all parties. 

        (c)  No
member of the Board of Directors or the Committee will be liable for any action or determination made in good faith by the Committee with respect to the Plan or any
Incentive and Performance Award under it. 

        5.    Eligibility and Date of Grant.    

        The
date of grant of an Incentive Award will be the date the Committee takes the necessary action to approve the grant; provided, however, that if the minutes or appropriate resolutions
of the Committee
provide that an Incentive Award is to be granted as of a date in the future, the date of grant will be such future date. 

        6.    Outside Director Participation.    Outside Directors shall receive Option grants under the Plan as described
below: 

        (a)  Upon
the conclusion of each regular annual meeting of the Company's shareholders, each incumbent Outside Director who will continue serving as a member of the Board
thereafter may receive a grant of a Nonstatutory Option for such number of Common Shares (subject to adjustment under Section 15 and prorated for partial year service) as the Board shall
determine in its sole discretion. 

        (b)  New
Outside Directors shall receive a one-time grant of a Nonstatutory Option for a number of Common Shares as determined in the sole discretion of the
Board; provided, however, that such grant shall not be made in any calendar year in which the same individual receives an Option under (a) above. Such Option, if any, shall be granted on the
date when such Outside Director first joins the Board of Directors of the Company or the board of directors of a Subsidiary. 

        (c)  Total
grants under this Section 6 (less forfeitures) shall not exceed 15% of the maximum number of Common Shares available for grant under Section 3(a) of
the Plan (subject to adjustment under Section 15). 

4

 

        7.    Nonqualified Stock Options.    

        The
Committee may approve the grant of Nonqualified Stock Options to Eligible Persons, subject to the following terms and conditions: 

        (a)  The
purchase price of Common Stock under each Nonqualified Stock Option may not be less than eighty-five percent (85%) of the Fair Market Value of the Common
Stock on the date the Nonqualified Stock Option is granted. 

        (b)  No
Nonqualified Stock Option may be exercised after ten (10) years from the date of grant. 

        (c)  No
fractional shares will be issued pursuant to the exercise of a Nonqualified Stock Option nor will any cash payment be made in lieu of fractional shares. 

        8.    Incentive Stock Options.    The Committee may approve the grant of Incentive Stock Options to Eligible Persons,
subject to the following terms and conditions: 

        (a)  The
purchase price of each share of Common Stock under an Incentive Stock Option will be at least equal to the Fair Market Value of a share of the Common Stock on the
date of grant; provided, however, that if an employee, at the time an Incentive Stock Option is granted, owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of all
classes of stock of the Company (as defined in Section 424 of the Code), then the Exercise Price of each share of Common Stock subject to such Incentive Stock Option shall be at least one
hundred and ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value of such share of Common Stock, as determined in the manner stated above. 

        (b)  No
Incentive Stock Option may be exercised after ten (10) years from the date of grant; provided, however, that if any employee, at the time an Incentive Stock
Option is granted to him, owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company (as defined in Section 424 of the Code),
the Incentive Stock Option granted shall not be exercisable after the expiration of five (5) years from the date of grant. 

        (c)  No
fractional shares will be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option nor will any cash payment be made in lieu of fractional shares. 

        9.    Option Rules.    The purchase price under each Option may be paid in cash, cash equivalents or notes acceptable
to the Committee, by arrangement with a broker which is acceptable to the Committee where payment of the Option price is made pursuant to an irrevocable direction to the broker to deliver all or part
of the proceeds from the sale of the Option shares to the Company, by the surrender of shares of Common Stock owned by the Holder exercising the Option and having a Fair Market Value on the date of
exercise equal to the purchase price or in any combination of the foregoing. Each Option granted to an Eligible Person shall be exercisable in such manner and at such times as the Committee shall
determine. The Committee may modify, accelerate the exercisability of, extend or assume outstanding Options or may accept the cancellation of outstanding Options (whether granted by the Company or by
another issuer) in return for the grant of new Options for the same or a different number of shares and at the same or a different purchase price. The foregoing notwithstanding, no modification of an
Option shall, without the consent of the Holder, alter or impair his or her rights or obligations under such Option. 

        10.    Restricted Stock.    The Committee may approve the grant of Restricted Stock related or unrelated to
Nonqualified Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights to Eligible Persons, subject to the following terms and conditions: 

        (a)  The
Committee in its discretion will determine the purchase price. 

5

 

        (b)  All
shares of Restricted Stock sold or granted pursuant to the Plan (including any shares of Restricted Stock received by the Holder as a result of stock dividends,
stock splits, or any other forms of capitalization) will be subject to the following restrictions: 

          (i)  The
shares may not be sold, transferred, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated until the restrictions are removed or expire. 

        (ii)  The
Committee may require the Holder to enter into an escrow agreement providing that the certificates representing Restricted Stock sold or granted pursuant to the
Plan will remain in the physical custody of an escrow holder until all restrictions are removed or expire. 

        (iii)  Each
certificate representing Restricted Stock sold or granted pursuant to the Plan will bear a legend making appropriate reference to the restrictions imposed on the
Restricted Stock. 

        (iv)  The
Committee may impose restrictions on any shares sold pursuant to the Plan as it may deem advisable, including, without limitation, restrictions designed to
facilitate exemption from or compliance with the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, with requirements of any stock exchange upon which such shares or shares of the same class are then listed
and with any blue sky or other securities laws applicable to such shares. 

        (c)  The
restrictions imposed under subparagraph (b) above upon Restricted Stock will lapse in accordance with a schedule or other conditions as determined by the
Committee, subject to the provisions of Section 17, subparagraph (d). 

        (d)  Subject
to the provisions of subparagraph (b) above and Section 17, subparagraph (d), the Holder will have all rights of a shareholder with respect to the
Restricted Stock granted or sold, including the right to vote the shares and receive all dividends and other distributions paid or made with respect thereto. 

        (e)  Notwithstanding
the provisions of subparagraph (b) above and Section 17, subparagraph (d), Restricted Stock granted or sold may be held by the trustee of a
revocable inter vivos trust (or other trust if such transfer associated therewith does not cause income to be recognized pursuant to Code §83 and if the trust takes subject to the
forfeiture provisions of the Restricted Stock), approved by the Company, established in whole or in part by the Holder and/or the Holder's spouse. So long as the Holder is still an employee, transfer
to such trust shall not violate the provisions of subparagraph (b) above and ownership by such trust shall not invoke any right or obligation of the Company under Section 17,
subparagraph (d). 

        11.    Stock Appreciation Rights.    The Committee may approve the grant of Rights related or unrelated to Options to
Eligible Persons, subject to the following terms and conditions: 

        (a)  A
Stock Appreciation Right may be granted 

          (i)  at
any time if unrelated to an Option; 

        (ii)  either
at the time of grant, or at any time thereafter during the Option term if related to a Nonqualified Stock Option; or 

        (iii)  only
at the time of grant if related to an Incentive Stock Option. 

        (b)  A
Stock Appreciation Right granted in connection with an Option will entitle the Holder of the related Option, upon exercise of the Stock Appreciation Right, to
surrender such Option, or any portion thereof to the extent unexercised, with respect to the number of shares as to which such Stock Appreciation Right is exercised, and to receive payment of an
amount computed pursuant to Section 11(d). Such Option will, to the extent surrendered, then cease to be exercisable. 

6

  

        (c)  Subject
to Section 11(g), a Stock Appreciation Right granted in connection with an Option hereunder will be exercisable at such time or times as the Committee in
its discretion may determine, and only to the extent that a related Option is exercisable, and will not be transferable except to the extent that such related Option is exercisable. 

        (d)  Upon
the exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right related to an Option, the Holder will be entitled to receive payment of an amount determined by multiplying: 

          (i)  The
difference obtained by subtracting the purchase price of a share of Common Stock specified in the related Option from the Fair Market Value of a share of Common
Stock on the date of exercise of such Stock Appreciation Right, by 

        (ii)  The
number of shares as to which such Stock Appreciation Right has been exercised. 

        (e)  The
Committee may grant Stock Appreciation Rights unrelated to Options to Eligible Persons which will be exercisable at such times as the Committee shall determine.
Section 11(d) shall be used to determine the amount payable at exercise under such Stock Appreciation Right if Fair Market Value is used, except that Fair Market Value shall not be used if the
Committee specifies in the grant of the Right that book value or other measure as deemed appropriate by the Committee is to be used, and the initial share value specified in the award shall be used in
lieu of "price of a share of Common Stock specified in the related Option," as provided in Section 11(d). 

        (f)    Payment
of the amount determined under Section 11(d) or (e) may be made solely in whole shares of Common Stock in a number determined at their Fair Market
Value on the date of exercise of the Stock Appreciation Right or alternatively, at the sole discretion of the Committee, solely in cash or in a combination of cash and shares as the Committee deems
advisable. If the Committee decides to make full payment in shares of Common Stock, and the amount payable results in a fractional share, payment for the fractional share will be made in cash. 

        (g)  The
Committee shall, at the time a Stock Appreciation Right is granted, impose such conditions on the exercise of the Stock Appreciation Right as may be required to
satisfy the requirements of Rule 16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (or any other comparable provisions in effect at
the time or times in question). In addition, a Stock Appreciation Right granted under the Plan may provide that it will be exercisable only in the event of a Change-in-Control. 

        12.    Performance Awards.    The Committee may approve Performance Awards to Eligible Persons. Such awards may be
based on Common Stock performance over a period determined in advance by the Committee or any other measures as determined appropriate by the Committee. Payment will be in cash unless replaced by a
Stock Payment in full or in part as determined by the Committee. 

        13.    Stock Payment.    The Committee may approve Stock Payments of Common Stock to Eligible Persons for all or any
portion of the compensation (other than base salary) that would otherwise become payable to an employee in cash. 

        14.    Dividend Equivalents.    A Holder may also be granted at no additional cost "Dividend Equivalents" based on the
dividends declared on the Common Stock on record dates during the period between the date an Option is granted and the date such Option is exercised, or such other equivalent period, as determined by
the Committee. Such Dividend Equivalents shall be converted to additional shares or cash by such formula as may be determined by the Committee. 

        Dividend
Equivalents shall be computed, as of each dividend record date, both with respect to the number of shares under the Option and with respect to the number of Dividend Equivalent
shares previously earned by the Holder (or his successor in interest) and not issued during the period prior to the dividend record date. 

7

 

        15.    Adjustment Provisions.    

        (a)  Subject
to Section 15(b), if the outstanding shares of Common Stock are increased, decreased, or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or other
securities, or if additional shares or new or different shares or other securities are distributed with respect to such shares of Common Stock or other securities, through merger, consolidation, sale
of all or substantially all of the property of the Company, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other distribution with respect to
such shares of Common Stock, or other securities, an appropriate and proportionate adjustment shall be made in (i) the maximum number and kind of shares provided in Section 3 of the
Plan, (ii) the number and kind of shares or other securities subject to the then outstanding Incentive Awards, and (iii) the price for each share or other unit of any other securities
subject to then outstanding Incentive Awards without change in the aggregate purchase price or value as to which Incentive Awards remain exercisable or subject to restrictions. 

        (b)  In
addition, upon a Change-in-Control, all Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, and Performance Awards then outstanding under the Plan will be
fully vested and exercisable and all restrictions on Restricted Stock will immediately cease. The Committee or any agreement of merger or reorganization may offer the Holder the right to exchange such
vested Incentive Awards for fully vested and equivalent value awards under a successor plan. 

        16.    General Provisions.    

        (a)  With
respect to any shares of Common Stock issued or transferred under any provision of the Plan, such shares may be issued or transferred subject to such conditions, in
addition to those specifically provided in the Plan, as the Committee may direct. 

        (b)  Nothing
in the Plan or in any instrument executed pursuant to the Plan will confer upon any Holder any right to continue in the employ of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries or affect the right of the Company to terminate the employment of any Holder at any time and for any reason. 

        (c)  No
shares of Common Stock will be issued or transferred pursuant to an Incentive Award unless and until all then applicable requirements imposed by federal and state
securities and other laws, rules, and regulations and by any regulatory agencies having jurisdiction, and by any stock exchanges upon which the Common Stock may be listed, have been fully met. As a
condition precedent to the issue of shares pursuant to the grant or exercise of an Incentive Award, the Company may require the Holder to take any reasonable action to meet such requirements. 

        (d)  No
Holder (individually or as a member of a group) and no beneficiary or other person claiming under or through such Holder will have any right, title, or interest in or
to any shares of Common Stock allocated or reserved under the Plan or subject to any Incentive Award except as to such shares of Common Stock, if any, that have been issued or transferred to such
Holder. 

        (e)  The
Company may make such provisions as it deems appropriate to withhold any taxes which it determines it is required to withhold in connection with any Incentive or
Performance Award. 

        (f)    No
Incentive Award and no right under the Plan, contingent or otherwise, will be assignable or subject to any encumbrance, pledge (other than a pledge to secure a loan
from the Company), or charge of any nature except that, under such rules and regulations as the Company may establish pursuant to the terms of the Plan, a beneficiary may be designated with respect to
an Incentive Award in the event of death of a Holder of such Incentive Award. If such beneficiary is the executor or administrator of the estate of the Holder of such Incentive Award, any rights with
respect to such Incentive Award may be transferred to the person or persons or entity (including a trust) entitled thereto under the will of the Holder of such Incentive Award, or, in the 

8

 

case of intestacy, under the laws relating to intestacy. Except as determined by the Committee, no Incentive Award shall be transferable by any Eligible Person other than by will or the laws of
descent and distribution or pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order. In considering transferability of an Incentive Award, the Committee may also consider the registration limitation of SEC
Form S-8 and on that basis may in its discretion determine whether to prohibit transferability, permit alternative registration of the Incentive Award, treat the Incentive Award as
SEC Rule 144 "restricted stock," or take such other measures as the Committee deems appropriate. 

        (g)  The
Committee may permit a Holder to satisfy all or part of his or her withholding or income tax obligations by having the Company withhold all or a portion of any
Common Stock that otherwise would be issued to him or her or by surrendering all or a portion of any Common Stock that he or she previously acquired. Such Common Stock shall be valued at its Fair
Market Value on the date when taxes otherwise would be withheld in cash. Any payment of taxes by assigning Common Stock to the Company may be subject to restrictions, including any restrictions
required by rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. 

        (h)  All
Incentive Awards shall become 100% vested in the event of death or total and permanent disability. 

        17.    Amendment and Termination.    

        (a)  The
Board of Directors may, in its discretion, amend, suspend, or terminate the Plan at any time. An amendment of the Plan shall be subject to the approval of the
Company's shareholders to the extent it affects the application of the accelerated vesting provisions herein, Section 15, or to the extent required by applicable laws, regulations and or rules. 

        (b)  The
Committee may, with the consent of a Holder, make such modifications in the terms and conditions of the Incentive Award as it deems advisable or cancel the Incentive
Award (with or without consideration) with the consent of the Holder. 

        (c)  No
amendment, suspension, or termination of the Plan will, without the consent of the Holder, alter, terminate, impair, or adversely affect any right or obligation under
any Incentive Award previously granted under the Plan. 

        (d)  In
the event a Holder of Restricted Stock ceases to be an employee, all such Holder's Restricted Stock which remains subject to substantial risk of forfeiture at the
time his or her employment terminates will be repurchased by the Company at the original price at which such Restricted Stock had been purchased unless the Committee determines otherwise. 

        (e)  In
the event a Holder of a Performance Award ceases to be an employee, all such Holder's Performance Awards will terminate except in the case of retirement, death, or
Total and Permanent Disability. The Committee, in its discretion, may authorize full or partial payment of Performance Awards in all cases involving retirement, death, or permanent and total
disability. 

        (f)    The
Committee may in its sole discretion determine, with respect to an Incentive Award, that any Holder who is on unpaid leave of absence for any reason will be
considered as still in the employ of the Company, provided that rights to such Incentive Award during an unpaid leave of absence will be limited to the extent to which such right was earned or vested
at the commencement of such leave of absence. 

        18.    Effective Date of Plan and Duration of Plan.    This Plan will become effective upon approval by the
shareholders of the Company within twelve (12) months following the date of its adoption by the Board of Directors. Unless previously terminated by the Board of Directors, the Plan will
terminate ten (10) years after its approval by the shareholders of the Company.
