                                                                       NO. CSW-2

THIS WARRANT AND THE SHARES ISSUABLE HEREUNDER HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER
THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, PLEDGED, OR
OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION THEREOF UNDER SUCH ACT
EXCEPT PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO
THE COMPANY AND ITS COUNSEL THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.

                        WARRANT TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK

Company:                    Handspring, Inc., a Delaware Corporation

Number of Shares:           9,000,000

Class of Stock:             Common Stock

Initial Exercise Price:     $1.09 per share

Issue Date:                 January 29, 2003

Expiration Date:            January 29, 2008

         This Warrant certifies that, for good and valuable consideration, M-F
Downtown Sunnyvale, LLC (the "HOLDER") is entitled to purchase from the
corporation named above (the "COMPANY"), from the Issue Date until 5:00 p.m.
Pacific time, on the Expiration Date, the number of fully paid and nonassessable
shares of the class of stock (the "SHARES") of the Company at the Initial
Exercise Price per Share (the "WARRANT PRICE"), all as set forth above and as
adjusted pursuant to Section 2 of this Warrant, subject to the provisions and
upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Warrant.

         1.       EXERCISE.

                  1.1      METHOD OF EXERCISE. The Holder may exercise this
Warrant by delivering a duly executed Notice of Exercise in substantially the
form attached as Exhibit A to the principal office of the Company. Unless the
Holder is exercising the election set forth in Section 1.2, this Warrant may be
exercised in whole or in part and the Holder shall also deliver to the Company
(i) a check for the aggregate Warrant Price for the Shares being purchased or
(ii) with respect to, and only with respect to, an exercise of this Warrant by
either (a) M-F Downtown Sunnyvale, LLC, or (b) a Holder who holds a warrant
which, before any exercises, originally entitled the Holder to purchase 500,000
Shares or more, that number of fully-paid, nonassessable shares of the Company's
Common Stock, owned free and clear of all liens, claims, encumbrances or
security interests, the aggregate fair market value of which is equal to the
aggregate Warrant Price for the Shares being purchased. The per share fair
market value for shares being delivered pursuant to clause (ii) in the preceding
sentence shall be the average closing price per share of the Company's Common
Stock quoted on the Nasdaq National Market, or on any exchange on which the
Common Stock is listed, whichever is applicable, as published in the Western
Edition of The Wall Street Journal for the five (5) trading days prior to the
date the Notice of Election is made pursuant to this Section 1.1; if there does
not exist a public market
<PAGE>
for the  Company's  Common  Stock at the time of such  exercise,  the per share
fair market value shall be as determined by the Company's  Board of Directors in
good faith.

                  1.2      NET EXERCISE ELECTION. The Holder may elect to
exercise all or a portion of this Warrant, without the payment by the Holder of
any additional consideration, by the surrender of this Warrant or such portion
of this Warrant to the Company, with the net exercise election selected in the
Notice of Exercise attached hereto as Exhibit A duly executed by the Holder,
into up to the number of Shares that is obtained under the following formula:

                                   X = Y (A-B)
                                       -------
                                          A

Where:   X = the number of Shares to be issued to the Holder pursuant to this
             Section 1.1.

         Y = the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is then
             being net exercised.

         A = the fair market value of one Share shall be the closing
             price per share of the Company's Common Stock quoted on the Nasdaq
             National Market, or on any exchange on which the Common Stock is
             listed, whichever is applicable, as published in the Western
             Edition of The Wall Street Journal for the five (5) trading days
             prior to the date the net exercise election is made pursuant to
             this Section 1.1; if there does not exist a public market for the
             Company's Common Stock at the time of such exercise, the fair
             market value of one Share shall be as determined by the Company's
             Board of Directors in good faith.

         B = the Warrant Price.

                  1.3      DELIVERY OF CERTIFICATE AND NEW WARRANT. Promptly
after Holder exercises this Warrant, the Company shall deliver to Holder
certificates for the Shares acquired and, if this Warrant has not been fully
exercised and has not expired, this Warrant shall automatically be reduced by
the number of Shares issued and remain exercisable for such remaining Shares not
so acquired, and all other terms of the Warrant shall otherwise remain in full
force and effect as so adjusted. Upon final exercise of this Warrant for any
such remaining number of Shares, this Warrant shall be surrendered by the Holder
to the Company for cancellation.

                  1.4      REPLACEMENT OF WARRANTS. On receipt of evidence
reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or
mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, on
delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory in form and amount to
the Company or, in the case of mutilation, on surrender and cancellation of this
Warrant, the Company at its expense shall execute and deliver, in lieu of this
Warrant, a new warrant of like tenor.

                  1.5      SALE, MERGER, CONSOLIDATION OR LIQUIDATION OF THE
COMPANY.

                           1.5.1    Acquisition. For the purpose of this
Warrant, "ACQUISITION" means (a) any sale or exchange of the capital stock by
the stockholders of the Company in one

                                       2
<PAGE>
transaction or series of related transactions where securities representing more
than 60% of the outstanding voting power of the Company are acquired by a person
or entity or group of related  persons or entities;  or (b) any  reorganization,
consolidation,  merger or similar transaction or series of related  transactions
(each,  a  "COMBINATION  TRANSACTION")  in which the  Company  is a  constituent
corporation or is a party if, as a result of such Combination  Transaction,  the
voting  securities of the Company that are outstanding  immediately prior to the
consummation  of  such  Combination  Transaction  do not  represent,  or are not
converted into or exchanged for, securities of the surviving corporation of such
Combination  Transaction (or such surviving  corporation's parent corporation if
the surviving corporation is owned by the parent corporation) that,  immediately
after the consummation of such Combination  Transaction,  possess at least fifty
percent  (50%) of the total voting  power of all  securities  of such  surviving
corporation  (or its parent  corporation,  if applicable)  that are  outstanding
immediately  after the  consummation of such Combination  Transaction;  or (c) a
sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company,  that is followed
by the distribution of the proceeds to the Company's stockholders.

                           1.5.2    Assumption of Warrant. Upon the closing of
(a) any Combination Transaction that is not an Acquisition or (b) any
Acquisition where the consideration for the Acquisition to be received by the
Company's stockholders consists solely of stock or other securities of the
acquirer or any entity affiliated with the acquirer, the successor entity shall
assume the obligations of this Warrant, and this Warrant shall be exercisable
for the same securities or other consideration as would be payable for the
Shares issuable upon exercise of the unexercised portion of this Warrant as if
such Shares were outstanding on the record date for such Combination Transaction
or Acquisition and subsequent closing thereof. The Warrant Price shall be
adjusted accordingly. Holder may exercise or cancel the Warrant prior to any
assumption of the Warrant under this Section 1.5.2.

                           1.5.3    Termination of Warrant. In the case of (a)
an Acquisition where the consideration for the Acquisition to be received by the
Company's stockholders in return for their capital stock of the Company consists
of cash or a combination of cash and securities and/or other property or (b) the
proposed liquidation and dissolution of the Company, the Company shall give
Holder at least twenty (20) days advance written notice of such event (the
"COMPANY NOTICE"), which notice shall include the Company's best estimate of the
per Share price receivable upon the occurrence of the event set forth in (a) or
(b) above and the proposed date upon which such event is expected to occur. If
M-F Downtown Sunnyvale, LLC or any of its lenders hold the Warrant, then the
Company shall deliver the Company Notice to such holding party or parties at
least thirty (30) days in advance. During such notice period, Holder may
exercise this Warrant in accordance with its terms, and may make such exercise
contingent upon the happening of such event and/or the existence of a minimum
value of the Shares receivable upon exercise as provided on Holder's exercise
notice; provided that such minimum value shall be no greater than the per share
price set forth in the Company Notice. Subject to prior exercise as provided in
the preceding sentence, this Warrant will terminate at 5:00 p.m. Pacific time on
the day prior to the date such event is expected to occur as set forth in the
Company Notice; provided that (a) the Company Notice of the proposed event is
actually received by the Holder, as evidenced by a return receipt of certified
mail delivery, a certificate of delivery by hand delivery or written
verification of delivery from the overnight courier, and (b) the event actually
occurs.

         2.       ADJUSTMENTS TO THE SHARES.

                  2.1      COMMON STOCK DIVIDENDS, SPLITS, ETC. If the Company
declares or pays a dividend on the outstanding shares of the Company's Common
Stock payable in shares of the Company's Common Stock or subdivides or combines
the outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock, then upon exercise of this
Warrant, the Holder shall receive, without cost to the Holder, the total number
of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder would have been entitled had the
Holder owned the Shares of record as of the date the dividend, subdivision or
combination occurred.

                  2.2      RECLASSIFICATION, EXCHANGE OR SUBSTITUTION. Upon any
reclassification, exchange, substitution, or other event that results in a
change of the number and/or class of the securities issuable upon exercise of
this Warrant (other than an Acquisition or a stock dividend, split, combination
or other distribution), the Holder shall be entitled to receive, upon exercise
of this Warrant, the number and kind of securities and property that Holder
would have received for the Shares if this Warrant had been exercised
immediately before such reclassification, exchange, substitution or other event.
The Company or its successor shall promptly issue to the Holder a new Warrant
for such new securities or other property. The new Warrant shall provide for
adjustments that shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the
adjustments provided for in this Section 2 including, without limitation,
appropriate adjustments to the Warrant Price and to the number of securities or
property issuable upon exercise of the new Warrant.

                  2.3      ADJUSTMENTS OF WARRANT PRICE. If the outstanding
Shares are combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a
lesser number of shares, the Warrant Price shall be proportionately increased.
If the outstanding Shares are divided by reclassification or otherwise, into a
greater number of shares, the Warrant Price shall be proportionately decreased.

                  2.4      ADJUSTMENT IS CUMULATIVE. The provisions of this
Section 2 shall similarly apply to successive stock dividends, stock splits or
combinations, reclassifications, exchanges, substitutions, or other events.

                  2.5      FRACTIONAL SHARES. No fractional Shares shall be
issuable upon exercise of the Warrant and the number of Shares to be issued
shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Share. If a fractional share interest
arises upon any exercise of the Warrant, the Company shall eliminate such
fractional Share interest by paying Holder an amount by check computed by
multiplying the fractional interest by the fair market value of a full Share.

                  2.6      CERTIFICATE AS TO ADJUSTMENTS. Upon each adjustment
of the Warrant Price, the Company at its expense shall promptly compute such
adjustment, and furnish Holder with a certificate of its Chief Financial Officer
setting forth such adjustment and the facts upon which such adjustment is based.
The Company shall, upon written request, furnish Holder a certificate setting
forth the Warrant Price in effect upon the date thereof and the series of
adjustments leading to such Warrant Price.

         3.       REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF THE
COMPANY.

                  3.1      REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. The Company hereby
represents and warrants to the Holder that all Shares which may be issued upon
the exercise of the purchase right represented by this Warrant shall, upon
issuance, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and
free of any liens and encumbrances except for restrictions on transfer provided
for herein or under applicable federal and state securities laws.

                  3.2      REGISTRATION RIGHTS.

                           3.2.1    Certain Definitions. For purposes of this
Section 3.2:

                                    (a)      Registration. The terms "REGISTER,"
"REGISTERED" and "REGISTRATION" refer to a registration effected by preparing
and filing a registration statement in compliance with the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "SECURITIES ACT"), and the declaration or ordering of
effectiveness of such registration statement.

                                    (b)      Registrable Securities. The term
"REGISTRABLE SECURITIES" means (i) the Shares that are issuable to the Holder
upon exercise of the Warrant, and (ii) any shares of the Company's Common Stock
that may be issued as a dividend or other distribution (including shares of the
Company's Common Stock issued in a subdivision and split of the Company's
outstanding Common Stock) with respect to, or in exchange for, or in replacement
of, shares of the Company's Common Stock described in clauses (i) or (ii) of
this Section 3.2.1(b); excluding in all cases, however, from the definition of
"Registrable Securities" any such shares of the Company's Common Stock that are:
(w) registered under the Securities Act other than pursuant to a registration
statement filed pursuant to this Warrant; (x) transferred by a person in a
transaction in which rights under this Warrant with respect to such shares of
the Company's Common Stock are not assigned in accordance with the terms of this
Warrant; (y) sold pursuant to a registration statement filed pursuant to this
Warrant; or (z) sold pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act
or otherwise sold to the public. Only shares of the Company's Common Stock shall
be Registrable Securities. Except as provided in clause (ii) of the first
sentence of this Section 3.2.1(b), without limitation, the term "Registrable
Securities" does not include any shares of the Company's Common Stock that were
not issued in connection with the exercise of this Warrant.

                                    (c)      Form S-3. The term "FORM S-3" means
a registration statement filed under Form S-3 under the Securities Act, as such
is in effect at the Issue Date, or any successor form of registration statement
under the Securities Act subsequently adopted by the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "SEC") which permits inclusion or incorporation of a substantial
amount of information by reference to other documents filed by the Company with
the SEC.

                                    (d)      Rule 415. The term "RULE 415" means
Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act, as such Rule may be amended from
time to time, or any similar or successor rule or regulation hereafter adopted
by the SEC.

                           3.2.2    Form S-3 Shelf Registration.

                                       5
<PAGE>
                                    (a)      Filing and Registration Period.
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Warrant, no later than four months
after the Issue Date, or as soon as practicable thereafter, in the case such
filing is delayed by circumstances beyond the Company's control, and consistent
with the requirements of applicable law, the Company shall prepare and file with
the SEC a registration statement on Form S-3 for an offering to be made on a
continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 covering all of the then outstanding
Registrable Securities (the "SHELF REGISTRATION"). The Company shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to have such Shelf Registration declared
effective no later than six months after the Issue Date and to keep the Shelf
Registration continuously effective under the Securities Act for a continuous
period of time (such period of time being hereinafter called the "REGISTRATION
PERIOD") commencing on the date the Shelf Registration is declared effective
under the Securities Act by the SEC and ending on the date that is the second
anniversary of the Issue Date; provided, that such Registration Period shall be
extended until Rule 144(k) promulgated under the Securities Act (as such Rule
may be amended from time to time, or any similar or successor rule or regulation
hereafter adopted by the SEC) is available for the sale of Registrable
Securities that are issued pursuant to a net exercise of this Warrant under
Section 1.2 prior to the second anniversary of the Issue Date; provided, that in
no event shall such Registration Period exceed the date that is the fourth
anniversary of the Issue Date. The Company shall have no duty or obligation to
keep the Shelf Registration effective after the expiration of the Registration
Period.

                                    (b)      Supplements and Amendments. During
the Registration Period, the Company shall supplement and amend the Shelf
Registration, if, as and when required by the Securities Act, the rules and
regulations promulgated thereunder or the rules, regulations or instructions
applicable to Form S-3.

                                    (c)      Manner of Sales. Any sale of
Registrable Securities pursuant to a Shelf Registration under this Section 3.2.2
may only be made in accordance with the method or methods of distribution of
such Registrable Securities that are described in the registration statement for
the Shelf Registration, based on information provided by the Selling Holders
under Section 3.2.7 and permitted by such form of registration statement. Any
sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Shelf Registration under this
Section 3.2.2 must be made in compliance with applicable prospectus delivery
requirements.

                                    (d)      No Underwritings. No sale of
Registrable Securities under any Shelf Registration effected pursuant to this
Section 3.2.2 may be effected pursuant to any underwritten offering without the
Company's prior written consent, which may be withheld in its sole and absolute
discretion.

                                    (e)      Restrictions on Sale. Holder
acknowledges and agrees that (i) no sale of Registrable Securities under any
Shelf Registration effected pursuant to this Section 3.2.2 may be effected
during the period beginning fifteen (15) days before the completion of each of
the Company's fiscal quarters through the second trading day after the press
release announcing the Company's results for that quarter; (ii) that any sale of
Registrable Securities under any Shelf Registration effected pursuant to this
Section 3.2.2 must be pre-cleared with the Company's General Counsel in order to
ensure that there is no material undisclosed corporate information that could
render such Shelf Registration inaccurate; (iii) Holder (together with any
Permitted Transferees (as defined in Section 4.3.2)) may not sell or

                                       6
<PAGE>
otherwise transfer any shares of the Company's Common Stock, whether under any
Shelf Registration or otherwise, during the six month period following the Issue
Date; and (iv) beginning on the date that is six months and one day after the
Issue Date, Holder may sell (A) any amount of shares of the Company's Common
Stock if Holder (x) holds fewer than 1,000,000 shares of the Company's Common
Stock (and has held fewer than 1,000,000 shares for at least five consecutive
trading days) or (y) sells such shares in a private placement transaction (that
is, in a transaction that is not to the public) in which the transferees agree
to be bound by the same resale restrictions set forth in this Section 3.2.2(e);
and (B) to the public, whether under any Shelf Registration Statement, Rule 144
or otherwise, no more than 200,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock on any
single day and no more than 500,000 shares during any five consecutive trading
day period if Holder holds 1,000,000 shares or more of the Company's Common
Stock (or has held 1,000,000 shares or more at any time during the last five
trading days). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subparagraph
(e), (x) the terms and conditions set forth in this subparagraph (e) shall apply
to, and only to, the aggregate of the Registrable Securities and the securities
issued in connection with the other warrant (No. CSW-1) issued by the Company to
M-F Downtown Sunnyvale, LLC on the Issue Date and (y) the restrictions described
in clauses (iii) and (iv) above shall not be applicable from and after any
Acquisition.

                           3.2.3    Limitations. Notwithstanding the provisions
of Section 3.2.2 above, the Company shall not be obligated to effect any
registration, qualification or compliance of Registrable Securities pursuant to
Section 3.2.2 of this Warrant, and the Holder shall not be entitled to sell
Registrable Securities pursuant to any registration statement filed under
Section 3.2.2 of this Warrant, as applicable:

                                    (a)      if Form S-3 is not then available
for such offering by the Holder provided, that if such form is not available,
the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to become eligible to use
such form and the Registration Period shall be extended for such period of time
that such form is not available, but only if all of Holder's Registrable
Securities may not be resold in a three month period pursuant to Rule 144;

                                    (b)      if the Company shall furnish to the
Holder a certificate signed by an officer of the Company stating that, in the
good faith judgment of such officer, it would be detrimental to the Company and
its stockholders for sales under the Registration Statement to occur at such
time, due, for example, to the existence of a material development or potential
material development involving the Company, which the Company would be obligated
to disclose in the prospectus contained in the Shelf Registration, which
disclosure would, in the good faith judgment of such officer, be premature or
otherwise inadvisable at such time or would have a material adverse affect upon
the Company and its stockholders, in which event the Company will have the right
to suspend the use of the Registration Statement for a period of not more than
sixty days pursuant to this Section 3.2.3(b), provided that in the event that
the Registration Statement is suspended by the Company pursuant to this Section
3.2.3(b), then the Company shall extend the Registration Period hereunder by the
number of days that the Registration Statement was suspended;

                                    (c)      if the Company's Common Stock
ceases to be publicly traded;

                                       7
<PAGE>
                                    (d)      in any particular jurisdiction in
which the Company would be required to qualify to do business or to execute a
general consent to service of process in effecting such registration,
qualification or compliance, unless the Company is already subject to service of
process in such jurisdiction; or

                                    (e)      if the SEC refuses to declare such
registration effective due to the participation of any particular Holder in such
registration (unless such Holder withdraws all such Holder's Registrable
Securities from such registration statement); or if the manner in which any
Registrable Securities are disposed of pursuant to the Shelf Registration is not
included within the plan of distribution set forth in the prospectus for the
Shelf Registration.

                           3.2.4    Shares Otherwise Eligible for Resale.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall not be
obligated to effect or continue to keep effective any such registration,
registration statement, qualification or compliance with respect to the
Registrable Securities held by any particular Holder:

                                    (a)      if all of the Registrable
Securities then held by such Holder may be resold by such Holder within a three
month period without registration under the Securities Act pursuant to the
provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (or successor
provisions), or otherwise; or

                                    (b)      after expiration or termination of
the Registration Period.

                           3.2.5    Expenses. The Company shall pay all expenses
incurred in connection with any registration effected by the Company pursuant to
this Warrant (excluding brokers' discounts and commissions), including, without
limitation, all filing, registration and qualification, printers', legal
(including, the reasonable fees and expenses of one counsel for all Holders as a
group) and accounting fees.

                           3.2.6    Obligations of Company. Subject to Sections
3.2.2, 3.2.3 and 3.2.4 above, when required to effect the registration of any
Registrable Securities under the terms of this Warrant, the Company will, as
expeditiously as reasonably possible:

                                    (a)      furnish to each of the Holders such
number of copies of the prospectus for the Shelf Registration, including a
preliminary prospectus (and amendments or supplements thereto), in conformity
with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents as they
may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable
Securities owned by them;

                                    (b)      notify each Holder of Registrable
Securities promptly and, if requested by such Holder, confirm such notification
in writing promptly (i) when the registration statement has become effective and
when any post-effective amendments and supplements thereto become effective,
(ii) of any request by the SEC or any state securities authority for any
post-effective amendments or supplements to a registration statement that has
become effective, (iii) of the issuance by the SEC or any state securities
authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a registration
statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose, (iv) of the
receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the
qualification of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the

                                       8
<PAGE>
initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose, and (v) of any
determination by the Company that a post-effective amendment to a registration
statement would be appropriate;

                                    (c)      use all reasonable efforts to (i)
register and qualify the securities covered by such registration statement under
such other securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions in the United
States as will be reasonably requested by the Holders; provided that the Company
will not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to
qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of process in any
such state or jurisdiction; and (ii) cause such Registrable Securities to be
registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities,
including the National Association of Securities Dealers as may be necessary by
virtue of the business and operations of the Company; provided that the Company
will not be required to (A) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction
where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this paragraph (c),
(B) subject itself to taxation in any jurisdiction, or (C) consent to general
service of process in any such jurisdiction except as may be required by the
Securities Act;

                                    (d)      use its commercially reasonable
efforts to cause all such Registrable Securities to be listed on the Nasdaq
National Market and each securities exchange on which similar securities issued
by the Company are then listed; and

                                    (e)      upon the request of any Holder,
promptly provide the name, address and other contact information regarding the
Company's transfer agent for the Registrable Securities and the CUSIP number for
the Registrable Securities.

                           3.2.7    Furnish Information. It shall be a condition
precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to this
Section 3.2 that any selling Holders will furnish to the Company such
information regarding themselves, the Registrable Securities held by them, and
the intended method of disposition and plan of distribution of such Registrable
Securities as shall be required to timely effect the registration of their
Registrable Securities.

                           3.2.8    Delay of Registration. No Holder will have
any right to obtain or seek an injunction restraining or otherwise delaying any
registration that is the subject of this Warrant as the result of any
controversy that might arise with respect to the interpretation or
implementation of this Warrant.

                           3.2.9    Indemnification.

                                    (a)      By the Company. To the extent
permitted by law, the Company will indemnify, defend and hold harmless each
Holder and its directors, officers and each person, if any, who controls Holder
with the meaning of the Securities Act, against any losses, claims, damages, or
liabilities (joint or several) to which such Holder may become subject under the
Securities Act, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "EXCHANGE
ACT") or other U.S. federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims,
damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are
based upon any of the following statements, omissions or violations
(collectively, a "VIOLATION"):

                                       9
<PAGE>
                                             (i)      any untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in a registration
statement filed by the Company pursuant to this Warrant pursuant to which
Registrable Securities are sold, including any preliminary prospectus or final
prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto;

                                             (ii)     the omission or alleged
omission to state in such registration statement, preliminary prospectus or
final prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto, a material fact
required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading; or

                                             (iii)    any Violation or alleged
Violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any U.S.
federal or state securities law or any rule or regulation promulgated under the
Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any U.S. federal or state securities law in
connection with the offering of Registrable Securities covered by such
registration statement;

provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section
3.2.9(a) shall not apply to (A) any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or
actions in respect thereto) insofar as such Violation occurs in reliance upon
and in conformity with information furnished by any Holder for use in connection
with such registration; (B) amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim,
damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the written
consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld); or
(C) any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereto)
insofar as such Violation results from Holder's failure to comply with the terms
and conditions of Sections 3.2.2(c) or (e).

                                    (b)      By the Holder. To the extent
permitted by law, each selling Holder will indemnify and hold harmless the
Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who have signed the
registration statement, each Person, if any, who controls the Company within
the meaning of the Securities Act, any underwriter and any other Holder selling
securities under such registration statement, against any losses, claims,
damages or liabilities (joint or several) to which the Company or any such
director, officer, controlling person, underwriter or other such Holder may
become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or
state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions
in respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case
to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation (i) occurs in
reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished by such Holder for
use in connection with such registration or (ii) results from Holder's failure
to comply with the terms and conditions of Sections 3.2.2(c) or (e). Each
selling Holder's liability pursuant to this Section 3.2.9(b) shall be limited
to an amount equal to the net proceeds received by such selling Holder pursuant
to sales under the registration statement.

                                    (c)      Notice. Promptly after receipt by
an indemnified party under this Section 3.2.9 of notice of the commencement of
any action (including any governmental action) against such indemnified party,
such indemnified party will, if a claim for indemnification or contribution in
respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section
3.2.9, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement
thereof and, if the indemnifying party is the Company, the Company shall have
the right and obligation to control the defense of such action, and if the
Company fails to defend such action it

                                       10
<PAGE>
shall indemnify and promptly reimburse the selling Holders for any reasonable
attorneys' fees and other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection
with investigating or defending such action; provided, however, that: (i) the
Company shall also have the right, at its option, to assume and control the
defense of any action with respect to which the Company or any person entitled
to be indemnified by the selling Holders under Section 3.2.9(b) is entitled to
indemnification from the selling Holders; (ii) the indemnified party or parties
shall have the right to participate at its own expense in the defense of such
action and (but only to the extent agreed in writing with the Company and any
other indemnifying party similarly noticed) to assume the defense thereof with
counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; and (iii) an indemnified party
shall have the right to retain its own counsel, with the fees and expenses of
such counsel to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation of such
indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be
inappropriate due to an actual or potential conflict of interests between such
indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such
proceeding. The failure of an indemnified party to deliver written notice to the
indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such
action, if prejudicial to the ability of the indemnifying party to defend such
action, shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the
indemnified party under this Section 3.2.9, but the omission so to deliver
written notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party
of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under
this Section 3.2.9.

                                    (d)      Defect Eliminated in Final
Prospectus. The foregoing indemnity agreements of the Company and the Holders
are subject to the condition that, insofar as they relate to any Violation made
in a preliminary prospectus but eliminated or remedied in the amended or
supplemented prospectus on file with the SEC and effective at the time the sale
of Registrable Securities under such registration statement occurs (the
"AMENDED PROSPECTUS"), such indemnity agreement shall not inure to the benefit
of any person if a copy of the Amended Prospectus was furnished to the
indemnified party and was not furnished to the person asserting the loss,
liability, claim or damage in the action giving rise to indemnity claims under
this Section 3.2.9, at or prior to the time such action is required by the
Securities Act.

                                    (e)      Survival. The obligations of the
Company and any Holders under this Section 3.2.9 shall survive the completion
of any offering of Registrable Securities in a registration statement pursuant
to this Warrant, and otherwise.

                           3.2.10   Duration and Termination of Company's
Obligations.  The Company will have no obligations pursuant to Section 3.2.2 of
this Warrant to maintain or continue to keep effective any registration or
registration statement pursuant hereto: (a) after the expiration or termination
of the Registration Period; (b) with respect to a particular Holder if, in the
opinion of counsel to the Company, all such Registrable Securities proposed to
be sold by such Holder may be sold in a three (3) month period without
registration under the Securities Act pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under
the Securities Act or otherwise; or (c) if all Registrable Securities have been
registered and sold pursuant to a registration effected pursuant to this
Warrant and/or have been transferred in transactions in which registration
rights hereunder have not been assigned in accordance with this Warrant.

                                       11
<PAGE>
                  3.3      RULE 144 CLEARANCE. During the term of the Warrant,
the Company agrees that it will promptly clear with its transfer agent, at the
Company's expense, any sale of Registrable Securities made pursuant to Rule 144;
provided that such sale is made in compliance with Rule 144 and customary
documentation regarding said compliance is delivered to the Company by the
Holder.

         4.       REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF THE HOLDER.

                  4.1      REPRESENTATIONS. The Holder hereby represents and
warrants to the Company as follows: The Holder is a sophisticated investor
having such knowledge and experience in business and investment matters that the
Holder is capable of protecting the Holder's own interests in connection with
the acquisition, exercise or disposition of this Warrant. The Holder is an
"accredited investor" within the meaning of Regulation D promulgated under the
Securities Act. The Holder is aware that this Warrant and the Shares are being,
or will be, issued to the Holder in reliance upon the Holder's representation in
this Section 4 and that such securities are restricted securities that cannot be
publicly sold except in certain prescribed situations. The Holder is aware of
the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act and of the
conditions under which sales may be made thereunder. The Holder has received
such information about the Company as the Holder deems reasonable, has had the
opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company with respect
to its business, assets, prospects and financial condition and has verified any
answers the Holder has received from the Company with independent third parties
to the extent the Holder deems necessary. The Holder of this Warrant, by
acceptance hereof, acknowledges that this Warrant and the Shares to be issued
upon exercise hereof thereof are being acquired solely for the Holder's own
account and not as a nominee for any other party, and for investment, and that
the Holder will not offer, sell or otherwise dispose of this Warrant or any
Shares to be issued upon exercise hereof thereof except under circumstances that
will not result in a violation of the Act or any state securities laws.

                  4.2      LEGENDS. This Warrant and the Shares shall be
imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:

                  THIS SECURITY HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT
                  OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAW AND MAY NOT
                  BE SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE
                  REGISTRATION THEREOF UNDER SUCH ACT OR LAW EXCEPT PURSUANT TO
                  RULE 144 AND ANY STATE EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION OR AN
                  OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY AND
                  ITS COUNSEL THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.

                  4.3      RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER.

                           4.3.1   Transfer Restrictions. Subject to the
provisions of Section 4.3.3, (i) the Holder may transfer all or part of this
Warrant to, and only to, a Permitted Transferee (as defined below) by giving the
Company a written notice of the portion of the Warrant to be

<PAGE>
transferred, such notice setting forth the name, address and taxpayer
identification number of the transferee, and surrendering this Warrant to the
Company for reissuance to the transferee(s) (and to the Holder for any remaining
portion of the Warrant, if applicable); provided, however, that prior to any
such transfer, each such proposed Permitted Transferee must agree to be subject
to the rights and obligations of the Holder pursuant to this Warrant and to the
terms and conditions of this Warrant, including those set forth in Section
4.3.2. Any transfer effected without such agreement by the Permitted Transferee
to which such transfer was made shall be voidable at the Company's sole and
absolute discretion. If transferring a part of this Warrant, such transfer must
be in the amount of a warrant to purchase 500,000 Shares or more except to the
extent that a smaller number of shares may be included in a warrant in
connection with a transfer by M-F Downtown Sunnyvale, LLC to its members in
connection with a transfer pursuant to Section 4.3.2(b) and/or (c) below.

                           4.3.2   Permitted Transferees. "PERMITTED
TRANSFEREE" shall mean (a) each of M-F Downtown Sunnyvale, LLC's lenders, (b)
each of the members of M-F Downtown Sunnyvale, LLC, (c) any liquidating trust or
escrow created for the purpose of holding the Warrant on behalf of the members

except (i) one who is a Permitted Transferee pursuant to clause (a) and/or
clause (d) above and (ii) such warrant to be transferred is for a minimum of
500,000 Shares.

transferred or assigned in whole or in part without compliance with applicable
federal and state securities laws by the transferor and the transferee
(including, without limitation, the delivery of investment representation
letters and legal opinions reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the
Company's transfer agent, as reasonably requested by the Company and the
Company's transfer agent).

         5.       GENERAL PROVISIONS.

                  5.1      NOTICES. Any and all notices required or permitted

under this Warrant on the earliest of the following: (i) at the time of personal
delivery, if delivery is in person; (ii) at the time of transmission by

(or hereafter modified by subsequent notice to the parties hereto), with
confirmation of receipt made by both telephone and printed confirmation sheet
verifying successful transmission of the facsimile; (iii) one (1) business day
after deposit with an express overnight courier for United States deliveries, or
two (2) business days after such deposit for deliveries outside of the United
States, with proof of delivery from the courier requested; or (iv) three (3)
business days after deposit in the United States mail by certified mail (return
receipt requested) for United States deliveries.

                  All notices for delivery outside the United States will be
sent by facsimile or by express courier. All notices not delivered personally or
by facsimile will be sent with postage and/or other charges prepaid and properly
addressed to the party to be notified at the address or facsimile number set
forth below the signature lines to this Warrant, or at such other address or
facsimile number as such other party may designate by one of the indicated means
of notice

                                       13
<PAGE>
herein to the other parties hereto. Notices to the Company will be
marked "Attention: General Counsel". Notices by facsimile shall be machine
verified as received.

                  5.2      ATTORNEYS FEES. In the event of any dispute between
the parties concerning the terms and provisions of this Warrant, the party
prevailing in such dispute shall be entitled to collect from the other party all
costs incurred in such dispute, including reasonable attorneys' fees.

                  5.3      GOVERNING LAW. This Warrant will be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California,without giving
effect to that body of laws pertaining to conflict of laws.

                  5.4      FURTHER ASSURANCES. The parties agree to execute such
further documents and instruments and to take such further actions as may be
reasonably necessary to carry out the purposes and intent of this Warrant.

                  5.5      TITLES AND HEADINGS. The titles, captions and
headings of this Warrant are included for ease of reference only and will be
disregarded in interpreting or construing this Warrant. Unless otherwise
specifically stated, all references herein to "sections" and "exhibits" will
mean "sections" and "exhibits" to this Warrant.

                  5.6      SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this Warrant is
determined by any court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction to be invalid,
illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such provision will be enforced to the
maximum extent possible given the intent of the parties hereto. If such clause
or provision cannot be so enforced, such provision shall be stricken from this
Warrant and the remainder of this Warrant shall be enforced as if such invalid,
illegal or unenforceable clause or provision had (to the extent not enforceable)
never been contained in this Warrant. Notwithstanding the forgoing, if the value
of this Warrant based upon the substantial benefit of the bargain for any party
is materially impaired, which determination as made by the presiding court or
arbitrator of competent jurisdiction shall be binding, then both parties agree
to substitute such provision(s) through good faith negotiations.

                  5.7      COUNTERPARTS. This Warrant may be executed in any
number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered will be
deemed an original, and all of which together shall constitute one and the same
agreement.

                  5.8      FACSIMILE SIGNATURES. This Warrant may be executed
and delivered by facsimile and upon such delivery the facsimile signature will
be deemed to have the same effect as if the original signature had been
delivered to the other party. The original signature copy shall be delivered to
the other party by express overnight delivery. The failure to deliver the
original signature copy and/or the nonreceipt of the original signature copy
shall have no effect upon the binding and enforceable nature of this Warrant.

                  5.9      AMENDMENT AND WAIVERS. This Warrant may be amended
only by a written agreement executed by each of the parties hereto. No amendment
of or waiver of, or modification of any obligation under this Warrant will be
enforceable unless set forth in a writing signed by the party against which
enforcement is sought. Any amendment effected in accordance with this section
will be binding upon all parties hereto and each of their respective

                                       14
<PAGE>
successors and assigns. No delay or failure to require performance of any
provision of this Warrant shall constitute a waiver of that provision as to
that or any other instance. No waiver granted under this Warrant as to any one
provision herein shall constitute a subsequent waiver of such provision or of
any other provision herein, nor shall it constitute the waiver of any
performance other than the actual performance specifically waived.

                  5.10     ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Warrant and the documents
referred to herein constitute the entire agreement and understanding of the
parties with respect to the subject matter of this Warrant, and supersede all
prior understandings and agreements, whether oral or written, between or among

                          CONTINENTAL CABLEVISION, INC.

                    9% Senior Debenture Due September 1, 2008

         1. This Debenture is one of a duly authorized issue of Debentures of
the Company, designated as its 9% Senior Debentures Due September 1, 2008
(herein called the "Debentures"), limited (except as otherwise provided in the
Indenture mentioned below) to the aggregate principal amount of $300,000,000,
all issued or to be issued under and pursuant to an Indenture dated as of June
1, 1993 (herein called the "Indenture"), duly executed and delivered in the
Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, the State of New York, by the
Company to The First National Bank of Chicago, Trustee (herein called the
"Trustee"), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference
is hereby made for a description of the rights, limitations of rights,
obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the Company and
the holders of the Debentures.

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

         3. The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Company and the
Trustee, with the consent of the holders of a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the Debentures at the time outstanding, evidenced as in the Indenture
provided, to execute supplemental indentures adding any provisions to or
changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture or
of any supplemental indenture or modifying in any manner the rights of the
holders of the Debentures; provided, however, that no such supplemental
indenture shall (i) extend the fixed maturity of any Debenture, or reduce the
rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon, or reduce the principal
amount thereof or any premium thereon, or make the principal thereof or any
premium or interest thereon payable in any coin or currency other than that
hereinbefore provided without the consent of the holder of each Debenture so
affected or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Debentures, the holders of
which are required to consent to any such supplemental indenture, without the
consent of the holders of all Debentures then outstanding. It is also provided
in the Indenture that, prior to any declaration accelerating the maturity of the
Debentures, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Debentures at the time outstanding may on behalf of the holders

                                      -4-
<PAGE>
of all of the Debentures waive any past default or Event of Default under the
Indenture and its consequences except a default in the payment of interest or
any premium on or the principal of any of the Debentures. Any such consent or
waiver by the holder of this Debenture (unless revoked as provided in the
Indenture) shall be conclusive and binding upon such holder and upon all future
holders and owners of this Debenture and any Debentures which may be issued in
exchange or substitution therefor, irrespective of whether or not any notation
thereof is made upon this Debenture or such other Debentures.

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

         5. The Debentures are issuable in registered form without coupons in
denominations of $100,000 and any multiple of $100,000. At the office or agency
of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York and in the
manner and subject to the limitations provided in the Indenture, but without
payment of any service charge, Debentures may be exchanged for a like aggregate
principal amount of Debentures of other authorized denominations.

         6. The Debentures may not be called for redemption prior to maturity,
except pursuant to paragraphs 7 and 8 hereof.

         7. If the Company proposes to make certain cash redemptions (a
"Preferred Stock Redemption Payment", as defined in the Indenture) with respect
to its 1992 Preferred Stock (as defined in the Indenture), the Company shall
mail notice thereof (the "Preferred Event Put Notice", as defined in the
Indenture) to each holder of Debentures at his last registered address at least
31 and no more than 60 days before the proposed date of such Preferred Stock
Redemption Payment. For 30 days from the date of the Preferred Event Put Notice,
or such longer period as the Company may elect by written notice to the holders
of the Debentures (the "Tender Period", as defined in the Indenture), each
holder of the Debentures shall have the right to tender his Debentures to the
Company and thereby require the Company to redeem, on the date (if any) of the
Preferred Stock Redemption Payment (which shall be (i) at least 31 and no more
than 60 days after the date of the Preferred Event Put Notice and (ii) no more
than 5 days after the last day of the Tender Period), all, but not less than
all, of such holder's Debentures at the principal amount thereof together with
accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption. Such date will be the same
date as the date on which the Company repurchases any 2003 Notes (as defined in
the

                                      -5-
<PAGE>
Indenture) as a result of a Preferred Stock Redemption Payment. If the proposed
Preferred Stock Redemption Payment is not made on or prior to the earlier to
occur of (i) the 60th day after the date of the Preferred Event Put Notice with
respect thereto or (ii) the 5th day after the last day of the Tender Period, the
Company will no longer have the right or obligation to redeem Debentures
tendered in connection with, and as a result of, such proposed Preferred Stock
Redemption Payment and the Company shall cause the Debentures tendered by each
holder to be returned to such holder. The Company shall not thereafter make a
Preferred Stock Redemption Payment unless a subsequent Preferred Event Put
Notice has been sent to the holders of the Debentures in connection therewith.
If the Company has previously satisfied and discharged the Indenture or has
previously effected a defeasance with respect to the Debentures, the right of a
holder to require such a redemption shall expire.

         8. If the Company or one of its Restricted Subsidiaries (as defined in
the Indenture) proposes to make certain repurchases with respect to the Common
Stock (as so defined) or certain borrowings, and immediately after any such
repurchase or borrowing (and related transactions) the aggregate Indebtedness
(as so defined) of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries would exceed
certain specified levels (each a "Put Option Transaction", as defined in the
Indenture), the Company shall mail notice thereof to each holder of the
Debentures at his last registered address not less than 15 days nor more than 45
days before the proposed date of such Put Option Transaction. On the date the
Put Option Transaction takes place (which shall be no more than 30 days after
the date proposed in the initial notice provided by the Company), the Company
will mail notice thereof to each holder of the Debentures at his last registered
address. For 30 days from the date of such notice, each holder of the Debentures
shall have the right to tender his Debentures to the Company and thereby require
the Company to redeem all, but not less than all, of such holder's Debentures at
a price equal to the principal amount of such Debentures plus accrued interest
thereon to the date fixed for redemption (which shall be thirty-five days from
the date on which the Put Option Transaction takes place), plus a premium
(expressed as a percentage of the principal amount redeemed) determined as
follows:

If the Company shall redeem any of the Debentures on the date fixed for
redemption, the option of the holders of Debentures to require the Company to
redeem the Debentures pursuant to this paragraph 8 shall have no further effect
and certain covenants of the Company shall cease to have any further force and
effect as set forth in the Indenture. If the Company has previously satisfied
and discharged the Indenture or has previously effected a defeasance with
respect to the Debentures, the right of a holder to request such a redemption
shall expire.

         9. Upon due presentment for registration of transfer of this Debenture
at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of
New York, a new Debenture or Debentures of authorized denominations for an equal
aggregate principal amount will be issued to the transferee in exchange
therefor, subject to the limitations provided in the Indenture, without charge
except for any tax or other governmental charge imposed in connection therewith.

         10. The Company, the Trustee, any paying agent and any Debenture
registrar may deem and treat the registered holder hereof as the absolute owner
of this Debenture (whether or not this Debenture shall be overdue and
notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing hereon) for the
purpose of receiving payment hereof, or on account hereof and for all other
purposes, and neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any paying agent nor any
Debenture registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. All
payments made to or upon the order of such registered holder shall, to the
extent of the sum or sums paid, satisfy and discharge liability for monies
payable on this Debenture.

         11. No recourse for the payment of the principal of or any premium or
interest on this Debenture, or for any claim based hereon or otherwise in
respect hereof, and no recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or
agreement of the Company in the

                                      -7-
<PAGE>
Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto or in any Debenture, or because
of the creation of any indebtedness represented thereby, shall be had against
any incorporator, stockholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or
future, of the Company or of any successor corporation, either directly or
through the Company or any successor corporation, whether by virtue of any
constitution, statute or rule of law or by the enforcement of any assessment or
penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as
part of the consideration for the issue hereof, expressly waived and released.

any multiple of $100,000. Every Debenture shall be dated the date of its
authentication and, except as provided in this Section, shall bear interest,
payable semi-annually on September 1 and March 1 of each year, commencing
September 1, 1993, from the September 1 or March 1, as the case may be, next
preceding the date of such Debenture to which interest has been paid or duly
provided for, unless the date of such Debenture is the date to which interest
has been paid or duly provided for, in which case from the date of such
Debenture, or unless no interest has been paid or duly provided for on the
Debentures, in which case from June 3, 1993 until payment of the principal sum
has been made or duly provided for. Notwithstanding the foregoing, when there is
no existing default in the payment of interest on the Debentures, all Debentures
authenticated by the Trustee after the close of business on the record date (as
hereinafter defined) for any interest payment date (September 1 or March 1, as
the case may be) and prior to

                                      -21-
<PAGE>
such interest payment date shall be dated the date of authentication but shall
bear interest from such interest payment date; provided, however, that if and to
the extent that the Company shall default in the payment of interest due on such
interest payment date then any such Debenture shall bear interest from the
September 1 or March 1, as the case may be, next preceding the date of such
Debenture to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, unless no
interest has been paid or duly provided for on the Debentures, in which case
from June 3, 1993. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of
twelve 30-day months.

         The person in whose name any Debenture (or its Predecessor Debenture)
is registered at the close of business on any record date with respect to any
interest payment date shall be entitled to receive the interest payable on such
interest payment date (subject to the provisions of Article Three in the case of
any Debenture or Debentures, or portion thereof, called for redemption on a date
subsequent to the record date and prior to such interest payment date)
notwithstanding the cancellation of such Debenture upon any transfer or exchange
subsequent to the record date and prior to such interest payment date. Interest
may, at the option of the Company, be paid by check mailed to the address of
such person on the registry kept for such purposes. The term "record date" with
respect to any interest payment date shall mean the August 15 or February 15
preceding said September 1 or March 1.

         Any interest on any Debenture which is payable, but is not paid or duly
provided for within 30 days after the date on which it becomes due and payable
on any said September 1 or March 1 (herein called "Defaulted Interest") shall
forthwith cease to be payable to the Debentureholder on the relevant record date
by virtue of having been such Debentureholder; and such Defaulted Interest may
be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in clause (1)
or (2) below:

                  (1) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted
         Interest to the Persons in whose names the Debentures (or their
         respective Predecessor Debentures) 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. At least 45
         days before the proposed payment date, the Company shall notify the
         Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be
         paid on each Debenture 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

                                      -22-
<PAGE>
         when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons
         entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this clause provided.
         Thereupon, not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days after
         receipt by the Trustee of notice of the proposed payment, 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. 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 Debentureholder at his
         address as it appears in the Debenture register, not less than 15 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 Debentures (or their respective Predecessor Debentures)
         are registered at the close of business on such special record date and
         shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following clause (2).

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

         SECTION 2.04. Execution of Debentures. The Debentures shall be signed
in the name and on behalf of the Company by the facsimile signature of its
Chairman or Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors, its Chief Executive
Officer, its President or any of its Vice Presidents and attested by the
facsimile signature of its Secretary or any of its Assistant Secretaries (which
may be printed, engraved or otherwise reproduced thereon, by facsimile or
otherwise). Only such Debentures as shall bear thereon a certificate of
authentication substantially in the form hereinbefore recited, manually executed
by the Trustee, shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture or be valid
or obligatory for any purpose. Such authentication by the Trustee upon any
Debenture executed by the Company shall be conclusive evidence that the
Debenture so authenticated has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder
and that the holder is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.

         In case any officer of the Company who shall have signed any of the
Debentures shall cease to be such officer before the Debentures so signed shall
have been authenticated and delivered

                                      -23-
<PAGE>
by the Trustee, or disposed of by the Company, such Debentures nevertheless may
be authenticated and delivered or disposed of as though the person who signed
such Debentures had not ceased to be such officer of the Company; and any
Debenture may be signed on behalf of the Company by such persons as, at the
actual date of the execution of such Debenture, shall be the proper officers of
the Company, although at the date of the execution of this Indenture any such
person was not such an officer.

         SECTION 2.05. Exchange and Registration of Debentures; Transfer of
Debentures. Debentures may be exchanged for a like aggregate principal amount of
Debentures of other authorized denominations. Debentures to be exchanged shall
be surrendered at the office or agency to be maintained by the Company in the
Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York (which office for purposes of this
Section 2.05 shall be the office of the registrar hereunder), and the Company
shall execute and register and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in
exchange therefor the Debenture or Debentures which the Debentureholder making
the exchange shall be entitled to receive. The Company hereby appoints the
Trustee to be, and the Trustee agrees to serve as, the initial registrar of the
Debentures.

         The registrar (or the Company if there is no registrar) shall keep at
said office in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, a register in
which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, Debentures
shall be registered and the transfer of Debentures shall be registered as in
this Article Two provided. Such register shall be in written form or in any
other form capable of being converted into written form within a reasonable
time. At all reasonable times such register shall be open for inspection by the
Trustee. Upon due presentment for registration of transfer of any Debenture at
such office or agency maintained by the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The
City of New York, the Company shall execute and register and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver in the name of the transferee or transferees a new
Debenture or Debentures for an equal aggregate principal amount.

         All Debentures presented for registration of transfer or for exchange,
redemption or payment shall (if so required by the Company or the Trustee) be
duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of
transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the registrar duly executed by,
the holder or his attorney duly authorized in writing.

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

                                      -24-
<PAGE>
         SECTION 2.06. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Debentures. In case
any temporary or definitive Debenture shall become mutilated or be destroyed,
lost or stolen, the Company in its discretion may execute, and upon its request
the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, a new Debenture, bearing a number
not contemporaneously outstanding, in exchange and substitution for the
mutilated Debenture, or in lieu of and in substitution for the Debenture so
destroyed, lost or stolen. In every case the applicant for a substituted
Debenture shall furnish to the Company and to the Trustee such security or
indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, and, in
every case of destruction, loss or theft, the applicant shall also furnish to
the Company and to the Trustee evidence to their satisfaction of the
destruction, loss or theft of such Debenture and of the ownership thereof.

         The Trustee may authenticate any such substituted Debenture and deliver
the same upon the written request or authorization of any officer of the
Company. Upon the issuance of any substituted Debenture, 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 connected
therewith. In case any Debenture which has matured or is about to mature shall
become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company may, instead of
issuing a substitute Debenture, pay or authorize the payment of the same
(without surrender thereof except in the case of a mutilated Debenture) if the
applicant for such payment shall furnish to the Company and to the Trustee such
security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless
and, in case of destruction, loss or theft, evidence satisfactory to the Company
and the Trustee of the destruction, loss or theft of such Debenture and of the
ownership thereof.

         Every substituted Debenture issued pursuant to the provisions of this
Section 2.06 by virtue of the fact that any Debenture is destroyed, lost or
stolen shall constitute an additional contractual obligation of the Company,
whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Debenture shall be found at any
time, and shall be entitled to all the benefits, and subject to all the
provisions, of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other
Debentures duly issued hereunder. To the extent permitted by law, all Debentures
shall be held and owned upon the express condition that the foregoing provisions
are exclusive with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Debentures and shall preclude any and all other rights
or remedies notwithstanding any law or statute existing or hereafter enacted to
the contrary with respect to the replacement or payment of negotiable
instruments or other securities without their surrender.

<PAGE>
         SECTION 2.07. Temporary Debentures. Pending the preparation of
definitive Debentures, the Company may execute and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver temporary Debentures (typed, printed or lithographed).
Temporary Debentures shall be issuable in any authorized denomination, and
substantially in the form of the definitive Debentures but with such omissions,
insertions and variations as may be appropriate for temporary Debentures, all as
may be determined by the Company. Every such temporary Debenture shall be
authenticated by the Trustee upon the same conditions and in substantially the
same manner, and with the same effect, as the definitive Debentures. Without
unreasonable delay the Company will execute and deliver to the Trustee
definitive Debentures and thereupon any or all temporary Debentures may be
surrendered in exchange therefor, at the office or agency of the Company in the
Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York (which office for purposes of this
Section 2.07 shall be the office in the said Borough of the registrar
hereunder), and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange for such
temporary Debentures an equal aggregate principal amount of definitive
Debentures. Such exchange shall be made by the Company at its own expense and
without any charge therefor. Until so exchanged, the temporary Debentures shall
in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as
definitive Debentures authenticated and delivered hereunder.

         SECTION 2.08. Cancellation of Debentures Paid, etc. All Debentures
surrendered for the purpose of payment, redemption, exchange or registration of
transfer, or in discharge, shall, if surrendered to the Company or any paying
agent or any Debenture registrar, be surrendered to the Trustee and promptly
cancelled by it, or, if surrendered to the Trustee, shall be promptly cancelled
by it, and no Debentures shall be issued in lieu thereof except as expressly
permitted by any of the provisions of this Indenture. The Company may at any
time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Debentures previously
authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any
manner whatsoever and the Trustee shall cancel any Debentures so delivered. The
Trustee shall destroy cancelled Debentures, and upon request furnish to the
Company certificates evidencing such destruction, unless the Company directs
their return to the Company by written request.

                                  ARTICLE THREE

                            REDEMPTION OF DEBENTURES;
                     REDEMPTION AT THE OPTION OF THE HOLDERS

         SECTION 3.01. Redemption Prices. (a) Except as provided in Sections
3.02 and 3.03, the Debentures are not redeemable by the Company prior to
maturity.

                                      -26-
<PAGE>
         (b) The Debentures shall not be entitled to the benefits of a sinking
fund.

         SECTION 3.02. Redemption at the Option of the Holder - Preferred Stock
Redemption Payment.

         (a) The holder of any Debenture shall have the right, at his option,
upon the giving of a Preferred Event Put Notice, and subject to the terms and
conditions hereof, to tender all, but not less than all, Debentures held by that
holder, without regard to the fact that the Debentures may not then be otherwise
redeemable, for cash, in an amount equal to the principal amount of the
Debentures (the "Preferred Event Redemption Price") together with accrued
interest to the date fixed for redemption of such holder's Debentures. The right
of each holder to tender his Debenture or Debentures shall continue for 30 days
after the date of the Preferred Event Put Notice (the "Initial Tender Period"),
unless such period shall be extended by the Company by written notice delivered
to the holders of the Debentures in accordance with Section 3.02(c) hereof (the
Initial Tender Period, together with all such extensions, is hereinafter
referred to as the "Tender Period"), and shall be exercised by any surrender of
such Debenture or Debentures to the office or agency to be maintained by the
Company pursuant to Section 4.02 of the Indenture, accompanied by written notice
that the holder elects to tender such Debenture or Debentures and (if so
required by the Company or the Trustee) by a written instrument or instruments
of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by
the holder or his duly authorized legal representative and transfer tax stamps
or funds therefor, if required. Such tender by a holder shall be irrevocable.
The holders of Debentures shall not have the right to tender Debentures if on
the date of the Preferred Event Put Notice the Company shall have satisfied and
discharged the Indenture pursuant to Article Twelve or effected a defeasance
with respect to the Debentures pursuant to Article Thirteen (except that the
Company may not satisfy the Indenture or effect defeasance in anticipation of a
Preferred Stock Redemption Payment).

         (b) Any such redemption of Debentures shall occur on the date on which
the Company shall make the Preferred Stock Redemption Payment (the "Preferred
Event Redemption Date"), which date, if any, shall be (i) at least 31 and no
more than 60 days after the date of the Preferred Event Put Notice and (ii) no
more than five days after the last day of the Tender Period (the "Tender
Discharge Date"). Such date will be the same date as the date on which the
Company redeems any 2003 Notes as a result of a Preferred Stock Redemption
Payment. In no case may the Company make a Preferred Stock Redemption Payment
prior to redeeming Debentures which have been properly tendered in accordance
with this Section 3.02. If the Company elects not to make a

                                      -27-
<PAGE>
particular Preferred Stock Redemption Payment, then the Company shall have no
obligation to redeem the Debentures tendered in connection with that Preferred
Stock Redemption Payment. If the proposed Preferred Stock Redemption Payment is
not made on or prior to the earlier to occur of (i) the 60th day after the date
of the Preferred Event Put Notice with respect thereto or (ii) the Tender
Discharge Date with respect thereto, (A) the Company shall, on or prior to the
earlier to occur of the 61st day after the date of such Preferred Event Put
Notice or such Tender Discharge Date, mail, or cause the Trustee to mail, notice
in accordance with Section 3.04 to each Debentureholder stating that the
proposed Preferred Stock Redemption Payment was not made, (B) the Company shall,
on or prior to the earlier to occur of the 66th day after the date of such
Preferred Event Put Notice or such Tender Discharge Date, return, or cause to be
returned, any Debentures tendered to the Company in accordance with this Section
3.02 to the holders thereof (together with any written instrument or instruments
of transfer and any transfer tax stamps or funds therefor which accompanied such
Debentures when they were delivered by the Debentureholder), and (C) the Company
shall no longer have the right or obligation to redeem Debentures tendered in
connection with, and as a result of, such proposed Preferred Stock Redemption
Payment. The Company shall not thereafter make a Preferred Stock Redemption
Payment unless a subsequent Preferred Event Put Notice shall have been sent to
holders of Debentures in connection therewith and the holders of Debentures
shall have been afforded an opportunity to tender their Debentures in accordance
with, and subject to, the terms of this Section 3.02.

         (c) The Company shall file with the Trustee and shall mail, or cause
the Trustee to mail, to each Debentureholder notice in accordance with Section
3.04 (the "Preferred Event Put Notice") stating that the Company is proposing to
make a Preferred Stock Redemption Payment and that each holder has the right for
no more than 30 days from the date of such notice to tender all, but not less
than all, of his Debentures for cash in accordance with and subject to the terms
hereof. If the Company elects to extend the Initial Tender Period or any
extension thereof, the Company shall file with the Trustee and shall mail, or
cause the Trustee to mail, at least five days prior to the termination of such
period, notice in accordance with Section 3.04 stating that the Company is
extending such period and that each holder's ability to tender his Debentures in
accordance with this Section 3.02 will be extended until the end of such
extended period. The Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any
Preferred Stock Change of Control Event or any corresponding obligation with
respect thereto until so notified by the Company.

         (d) On or before, but not more than three Banking Days prior to, the
Preferred Event Redemption Date, the Company shall

                                      -28-
<PAGE>
deposit with the Trustee or with a paying agent an amount of money sufficient to
pay the Preferred Event Redemption Price, and (except if the Preferred Event
Redemption Date shall be an interest payment date) accrued interest on all the
Debentures to be redeemed on the Preferred Event Redemption Date.

         (e) After a holder has tendered Debentures for redemption as provided
in clause (a) above, the Debentures of such holder shall, on the Preferred Event
Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Preferred Event Redemption Price,
together with accrued interest to the Preferred Event Redemption Date, and from
and after such date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of such
Debentures at the Preferred Event Redemption Price) such Debentures shall cease
to bear interest. Upon surrender of any such Debenture for redemption in
accordance herewith, such Debenture shall be paid on the Preferred Event
Redemption Date by the Trustee or paying agent at a price equal to the
applicable Preferred Event Redemption Price, (together with accrued interest to
the Preferred Event Redemption Date); provided, however, that if the Preferred
Event Redemption Date is an interest payment date, interest accrued to such
Preferred Event Redemption Date shall be payable to the holders of record of
such Debenture or Debentures at the close of business on the relevant record
date according to the provisions of the Indenture.

         If any Debenture to be redeemed shall not be so paid on the Preferred
Event Redemption Date, the Preferred Event Redemption Price and accrued interest
shall, until paid, bear interest from the Preferred Event Redemption Date at the
rate borne by the Debentures.

         SECTION 3.03. Redemption at the Option of the Holder - Exempt
Repurchases and Borrowing.

         (a) The holder of any Debenture shall have the right, at his option,
upon the giving of notice described in clause (d) below, and subject to the
terms and provisions hereof, to tender all, but not less than all, Debentures
held by such holder without regard to the fact that the Debentures may not then
be otherwise redeemable, for cash in an amount equal to the principal of such
Debentures plus a premium, if any, as set forth in paragraph 8 of the Debentures
(together, the "Put Option Redemption Price"), plus accrued interest to the date
fixed for redemption. Such redemption shall occur on a date (the "Put Option
Redemption Date") 35 days after the Put Option Transaction Date (as defined
below). The holder's right to tender shall continue for 30 days after the Put
Option Transaction Date, and shall be exercised by any surrender of such
Debentures to the office or agency to be maintained by the Company pursuant to
Section 4.02 of the Indenture, accompanied by written notice that

                                      -29-
<PAGE>
the holder elects to tender such Debentures and (if so required by the Company
or the Trustee) by a written instrument or instruments of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by the holder or his
duly authorized legal representative and transfer tax stamps or funds therefor,
if required. Such tender by a holder shall be irrevocable.

         (b) The holder shall have the right to tender under clause (a) upon the
occurrence of an event or series of events set forth below, provided that at the
time of the occurrence of such event, the Company shall not have satisfied and
discharged the Indenture pursuant to Article Twelve or effected a defeasance
with respect to the Debentures pursuant to Article Thirteen (except that the
Company may not satisfy the Indenture or effect defeasance in anticipation of
(i) or (ii) below):

                  (i) The Company makes an Exempt Repurchase and immediately
         thereafter and after giving effect to any Exempt Indebtedness incurred
         or to be incurred for the purpose of making such Exempt Repurchase, the
         Company is unable to incur an additional $1 of Indebtedness under
         Section 4.07, without giving effect to Section 4.07(b) (hereinafter
         referred to as a "Put Option Stock Repurchase").

                  (ii) The Company incurs Indebtedness and immediately
         thereafter, and after giving effect to such Indebtedness, the Company
         is able to incur an additional $1 of Indebtedness under Section 4.07,
         but only because of the effect of Section 4.07(b) (hereinafter referred
         to as a "Put Option Borrowing").

         (c) The Company shall file with the Trustee and shall mail, or cause
the Trustee to mail, to each Debentureholder not more than 45 days and not less
than 15 days prior to the proposed date on which a Put Option Stock Repurchase
or Put Option Borrowing (either, a "Put Option Transaction") is to occur (the
"Proposed Date") a notice as provided in Section 3.04 stating that the Company
is proposing to make a Put Option Stock Repurchase or a Put Option Borrowing,
whichever the case may be, on the Proposed Date, and that if the Put Option
Transaction is consummated, each holder shall have the right to tender all, but
not less than all, of his Debentures for cash pursuant to the terms hereof.

         (d) The date on which the proposed Put Option Transaction shall occur
(the "Put Option Transaction Date") shall be no more than 30 days after the
Proposed Date. On the Put Option Transaction Date, the Company shall mail, or
cause the Trustee to mail, notice in accordance with Section 3.04 to each
Debentureholder stating that the Put Option Transaction has been consummated and
that each holder of Debentures has the right to

                                      -30-
<PAGE>
tender his Debentures for a period of 30 days after the Put Option Transaction
Date.

         (e) On or before, but not more than three Banking Days prior to, the
Put Option Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with a
paying agent an amount of money sufficient to pay the Put Option Redemption
Price, and (except if the Put Option Redemption Date shall be an interest
payment date) accrued interest on, all the Debentures to be redeemed on the Put
Option Redemption Date. Prior to the consummation of any Put Option Transaction,
the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate to the effect
that it has arranged for committed financing sufficient to redeem all of the
Debentures in accordance with this Section 3.03.

         (f) All Debentures properly tendered for redemption pursuant to clause
(a) above shall, on the Put Option Redemption Date, become due and payable at
the applicable Put Option Redemption Price plus accrued interest, if any, and
from and after such date (unless the Company shall default in the payment
thereof) such Debentures shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any
such Debenture for redemption in accordance herewith, such Debenture shall be
paid on the Put Option Redemption Date by the Trustee or paying agent at a price
equal to the applicable Put Option Redemption Price, together with accrued
interest to the Put Option Redemption Date; provided, however, that if the Put
Option Redemption Date is an interest payment date, interest accrued to such Put
Option Redemption Date shall be payable to the holders of record of such
Debentures at the close of business on the relevant record date according to the
provisions of the Indenture.

         If any Debenture to be redeemed shall not be so paid on the Put Option
Redemption Date, the Put Option Redemption Price and accrued interest shall,
until paid, bear interest from the Put Option Redemption Date at the rate borne
by the Debenture.

         (g) Upon (A) the consummation of the proposed Put Option Transaction no
later than 30 days after the Proposed Date, and (B) the redemption of all
Debentures properly tendered for redemption pursuant to clause (a) above, the
Company shall no longer be bound by the provisions of this Section 3.03 and
Sections 4.07, 4.08 and 4.11.

         (h) If the proposed Put Option Transaction that was the subject of the
notice provided pursuant to clause (c) above is not consummated within 30 days
of the Proposed Date, the Company shall, on the 31st day after the Proposed
Date, mail, or cause the Trustee to mail, notice in accordance with Section 3.04

            SECTION 3.04 Mailing of Notices. If pursuant to this Article Three,
the Company or the Trustee is required to mail to one or more Debentureholders
notice of the right of the Debentureholders to require redemption, such notice
shall be given in the manner hereinafter provided and shall state the terms and

presented for registration of transfer and for exchange as in this Indenture
provided and an office or agency where notices and demands to or upon the
Company in respect of the Debentures or of this Indenture may be served. The
Company will give to the Trustee written notice of the location of each such
office or agency and of any change of location thereof. If the Company shall
fail to maintain any such office or agency or shall fail to give such notice of
the location or of any change in the location thereof, presentations and demands
may be made and notices may be

                                      -32-
<PAGE>
served at the office of the Trustee and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee

receive all such presentations, demands and notices.

            SECTION 4.03. Appointments to Fill Vacancies in Trustee's Office.
The Company, whenever necessary to avoid or fill a vacancy in the office of
Trustee, will appoint, in the manner provided in Section 7.09, a Trustee, so
that there shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder.

            SECTION 4.04. Provision as to Paying Agent. (a) If the Company shall
appoint a paying agent other than the Trustee, it will cause such paying agent
to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such agent shall
agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section 4.04:

            (1)   that it will hold all sums held by it as such agent for the
      payment of the principal of and premium, if any, or interest on the
      Debentures (whether such sums have been paid to it by the Company or by
      any other obligor on the Debentures) in trust for the benefit of the
      holders of the Debentures;

            (2)   that it will give the Trustee notice of any failure by the
      Company (or by any other obligor on the Debentures) to make any payment of
      the principal of and premium, if any, or interest on the Debentures when
      the same shall become due and payable; and

            (3)   that at any time during the continuance of an Event of
      Default, upon request of the Trustee, it will forthwith pay to the Trustee
      all sums so held in trust.

            (b)   If the Company shall act as its own paying agent, it will, on
or before each due date of the principal of and premium, if any, or interest on
the Debentures, set aside, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the
holders of the Debentures a sum sufficient to pay such principal and premium, if
any, or interest so becoming due and will notify the Trustee of any failure to
take such action and of any failure by the Company (or by any other obligor on
the Debentures) to make any payment of the principal of and premium, if any, or
interest on the Debentures when the same shall become due and payable.

            (c)   Anything in this Section 4.04 to the contrary notwithstanding,
the Company may, at any time, for the purpose of obtaining a satisfaction and
discharge of this Indenture, or for any other reason, pay or cause to be paid to
the Trustee all sums held in trust by any paying agent hereunder as required by
this Section 4.04, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the trusts

                                      -33-
<PAGE>
herein contained 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.

            (d)   Anything in this Section 4.04 to the contrary notwithstanding,
the agreement to hold sums in trust as provided in this Section 4.04 is subject
to Sections 12.03 and 12.04.

            SECTION 4.05. Corporate Existence and Maintenance of Properties.
Except as provided in Section 11.01 hereof, the Company will at all times
maintain its corporate existence, will maintain its properties in adequate
condition for the conduct of its business and will do or cause to be done all
things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its rights
(charter and statutory) and franchises; provided, however, that the Company will
not be required to preserve any right or franchise if the Board of Directors of
the Company 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 Debentureholders.

            SECTION 4.06. Restricted Payments. The Company covenants and agrees,
so long as any of the Debentures remain outstanding, that it will not declare or
pay any dividend on, or authorize or make any distribution in respect of, any
shares of any class of its Capital Stock (except dividends or distributions
payable in shares of its Capital Stock), or authorize or make any purchase,
redemption or acquisition for value of, or permit any Subsidiary to purchase or
otherwise acquire for value, any shares of any class of the Company's Capital
Stock, (or any rights, warrants or options to purchase any class of Capital
Stock of the Company, except if such rights, warrants or options are held by an
employee of the Company and such purchase, redemption or acquisition occurs in
connection with the termination of such employee's employment by the Company)
otherwise than pursuant to Exempt Repurchases (any payment so restricted being
herein called a "Restricted Payment"): (i) if a default shall have occurred and
be continuing at the time of such proposed Restricted Payment or shall occur as
a consequence thereof; or (ii) if the aggregate of all Restricted Payments made
from March 31, 1992 through and including the date on which such Restricted
Payment is made, would exceed the sum of (a) the amount by which Operating Cash
Flow of the Restricted Group on a consolidated basis for the period, treated as
a single accounting period, from March 31, 1992 through the fiscal quarter
immediately preceding such proposed Restricted Payment for which financial
statements are available exceeds 1.20 times the Total Interest Expense for the
period, treated as a single accounting period from March 31, 1992 through said
fiscal quarter immediately preceding such proposed Restricted Payment, plus (b)
$150,000,000, plus (c) the aggregate net proceeds, including the fair market
value of property other

                                      -34-
<PAGE>
than cash, received by the Company from the issuance or sale (other than to a
Subsidiary) subsequent to June 23, 1992 of any class of Capital Stock of the
Company, or from the exercise subsequent to June 23, 1992 of any options,
warrants or other rights to acquire Capital Stock of the Company. For all
purposes of this Section 4.06, any recapitalization of the Company (whether or
not effected through a merger or consolidation with, or sale of substantially
all of the assets of the Company to, any Person) that has the effect of
transferring money, property, or securities other than Capital Stock of the
Company to any holder of any shares of the Capital Stock of the Company
(otherwise than in connection with an Exempt Repurchase) shall be deemed a
Restricted Payment.

            For purposes of this Section 4.06, "default" shall mean the
occurrence of any event specified in clauses (a), (b), (c), (d), (e) or (f) of
Section 6.01, not including periods of grace, if any, provided for therein.

            SECTION 4.07. Limitation on Indebtedness. (a) Except as provided in
Section 3.03(g), the Company covenants and agrees, so long as any of the
Debentures remain outstanding, that it shall not, and shall not permit any of
its Restricted Subsidiaries to, incur, create, assume, directly or indirectly
guarantee or in any other manner become liable with respect to, or become
responsible for the payment of, any additional Indebtedness unless, after giving
effect to the incurrence of such Indebtedness and the receipt and application of
the proceeds thereof, the ratio of (1) the aggregate Indebtedness of the
Restricted Group to (2) four times the Operating Cash Flow of the Restricted
Group on a consolidated basis for the fiscal quarter immediately preceding such
incurrence for which financial statements are available, is no more than 9:1.

            (b)   For purposes of calculating the ratio described above, the
aggregate Indebtedness of the Restricted Group shall be reduced by the aggregate
Exempt Indebtedness of the Restricted Group.

            SECTION 4.08. Limitation on Investment in Unrestricted Subsidiaries.
Except as provided in Section 3.03(g), the Company covenants and agrees, so long
as any of the Debentures remain outstanding, that it shall not, and shall not
permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly make loans
or advances or transfer property or assets to, invest in or pay any indebtedness
owed by any Unrestricted Subsidiary (other than (i) the provision of goods and
services to an Unrestricted Subsidiary if such goods and services are billed to
an Unrestricted Subsidiary on the basis of the provider's cost therefor and (ii)
advances to an Unrestricted Subsidiary in the ordinary course of business by the
Restricted Group if the interest payable on such

                                      -35-
<PAGE>
advances is generally consistent with the Company's cost of borrowings under its
credit facilities), unless, after giving effect to such transaction, the
Restricted Group would be allowed to incur an additional $1 of Indebtedness
under Section 4.07.

            SECTION 4.09. Transactions with Stockholders and Affiliates. The
Company covenants and agrees, so long as any of the Debentures remain
outstanding, that it will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to,
enter into any transaction (including, without limitation, the purchase, sale,
lease or exchange of any property or the rendering of any service) with any
holder of 5% or more of any class of Capital Stock of the Company or with any
Affiliate of the Company or of any such holder, on terms that are less favorable
to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, than those
which might be obtained at the time of such transaction from a Person who is not
such a holder or Affiliate; provided, however, that this Section 4.09 shall not
limit, or be applicable to, (i) transactions pursuant to Restricted Stock
Purchase Agreements, (ii) the payment of reasonable and customary regular fees
to directors of the Company who are not employees of the Company, (iii) any
transaction between the Company and any of the Restricted Subsidiaries or
between any of the Restricted Subsidiaries, (iv) any transaction between an
Unrestricted Subsidiary and either the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, or
(v) Exempt Repurchases.

            SECTION 4.10. Certificate to Trustee. The Company will furnish to
the Trustee not more than 90 days after the end of the Company's fiscal year in
each year (beginning with fiscal 1993) a brief certificate from the principal
executive, financial or accounting officer of the Company as to his or her
knowledge of the Company's compliance with all conditions and covenants under
the Indenture (such compliance to be determined without regard to any period of
grace or requirement of notice provided under the Indenture), stating that in
the course of the performance by the signer of his or her duties as an officer
of the Company, he or she would normally have knowledge of any default by the
Company and, if he or she has knowledge of any default, specifying each such
default of which the signer has knowledge and the nature thereof.

            SECTION 4.11. Limitation on Liens. Except as provided in Section
3.03(g), the Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to,
create, incur or assume any Lien on any Principal Property or any shares of
Capital Stock or Indebtedness of any Restricted Subsidiary without making
effective provision for all of the Debentures and all other amounts due under
this Indenture to be directly secured equally and ratably with (or prior to) the
obligation or liability secured by such Lien unless, at the time of such
creation, incurrence or assumption

                                      -36-
<PAGE>
and, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate amount of all Indebtedness so
secured does not exceed five times Annualized Cash Flow; provided, however, that
if all Liens (other than Liens created pursuant to this Section 4.11 or Section
4.11 of the Indenture for the 2003 Notes) on Principal Property or on shares of
Capital Stock or Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary which secure
Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary are released, then (i)
all then existing Liens created pursuant to this Section (together with all then
existing Liens created pursuant to Section 4.11 of the Indenture for the 2003
Notes) shall be automatically released and (ii) the Trustee shall be authorized
to execute and deliver to the Company any documents requested by the Company
which are required to evidence the release of such Liens.

            The foregoing limitation does not apply to:

            (i)   Liens securing obligations of the Company to reimburse any
      bank or other Person in respect of amounts paid under letters of credit,
      acceptances or other similar instruments; or

                                      -37-
<PAGE>
            (ii)  Liens securing Indebtedness on the assets of any entity
      existing at the time such assets are acquired by the Company or any of its
      Restricted Subsidiaries, whether by merger, consolidation, purchase of
      assets or otherwise; provided that such Liens (x) are not created,
      incurred or assumed in connection with, or in contemplation of, such
      assets being acquired by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries
      and (y) do not extend to any other Principal Property or assets of the
      Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries.

following Events of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:

            (a)   default in the payment of any installment of interest upon any

      of any indebtedness for borrowed money (other than indebtedness which is
      non-recourse to the Company) in excess of $10,000,000 issued under an
      indenture or instrument evidencing such indebtedness, whether such
      indebtedness is outstanding at the date of this Indenture or is hereafter

      provided that if such event of default or event of default under such
      indenture or instrument shall be remedied or cured by the Company or
      waived by the holders of such indebtedness, then the Event of Default
      hereunder by reason thereof shall be deemed likewise to have been

      similar law now or hereafter in effect or seeking the appointment of a
      trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian, or other similar official of it
      or any substantial part of its property, or shall consent to any such
      relief or to the appointment of or taking possession by any such official
      in an involuntary case or other proceeding commenced against it, or shall
      make a general assignment for the benefit

                                      -41-
<PAGE>
      of creditors, or shall fail generally to pay its debts as they become due;
      or

            (f)   an involuntary case or other proceeding shall be commenced
      against the Company seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief
      with respect to it or its debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other
      similar law now or hereafter in effect or seeking the appointment of a
      trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official of it
      or any substantial part of its property, and such involuntary case or
      other proceeding shall remain undismissed and unstayed for a period of 60
      consecutive days;

Debentures shall have already become due and payable, either the Trustee or the
holders of not less than twenty-five percent in aggregate principal amount of
the Debentures then outstanding hereunder, by notice (an "Acceleration Notice")
in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Debentureholders), may
declare the principal of all the Debentures and the interest accrued thereon and
premium, if any, to be due and payable immediately, and (unless prior to the
date of such Acceleration Notice all Events of Default in respect of the
Debentures shall have been cured or waived) upon any such declaration the same
shall become and shall be immediately due and payable, anything in this
Indenture or in the Debentures contained to the contrary notwithstanding,
provided, that except in the case (A) of an Event of Default under clause (e) or
(f) above or (B) that no more than 10 days and no less than 5 days prior to the
giving of an Acceleration Notice the Trustee shall have given to the Company
(or, in the case of an acceleration by the Debentureholders, the
Debentureholders shall have given to the Trustee and the Company) a notice (a
"Pre-Acceleration Notice") in writing that in no more than 10 days the Trustee
(or the Debentureholders) intends to give an Acceleration Notice, an
Acceleration Notice shall not become effective until 5 days after receipt of
such notice by the Company (and the Trustee if given by Debentureholders). The
provision above regarding acceleration, however, is subject to the condition
that if, at any time after the principal of the Debentures shall have been so
declared due and payable, and before any judgment or decree for the payment of
the monies due shall have been obtained or entered as hereinafter provided, the
Company shall pay or shall deposit with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay all
matured installments of interest upon all the Debentures and the principal of
and premium, if any, on any and all Debentures which shall have become due
otherwise than by acceleration (with interest on overdue installments of
interest (to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under
applicable law) and on such principal and premium, if any, at the rate borne by
the Debentures, to the date of such payment or deposit) and the

                                      -42-
<PAGE>
expenses of the Trustee, and any and all defaults under this Indenture, other
than the nonpayment of principal of and accrued interest on Debentures which
shall have become due by acceleration, shall have been remedied--then and in
every such case the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Debentures then outstanding, by written notice to the Company and to the
Trustee, may waive all defaults and rescind and annul such declaration and its
consequences; but no such waiver or rescission and annulment shall extend to or
shall affect any subsequent default, or shall impair any right consequent
thereon.

            In case the Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce any right under
this Indenture and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned
because of such rescission or annulment or for any other reason or shall have
been determined adversely to the Trustee, then and in every such case the
Company, the holders of Debentures, and the Trustee shall be restored
respectively to their several positions and rights hereunder, and all rights,
remedies and powers of the Company, the holders of Debentures, and the Trustee
shall continue as though no such proceeding had been taken.

            The Trustee shall give the Debentureholders notice of any default
hereunder as and to the extent provided by the Trust Indenture Act of 1939. For
the purpose of this paragraph, the term "default" means any event which is, or
after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default.

            SECTION 6.02. Payment of Debentures on Default; Suit Therefor. The
Company covenants that (a) in case default shall be made in the payment of any
installment of interest upon any of the Debentures as and when the same shall
become due and payable, and such default shall have continued for a period of
thirty days, or (b) in case default shall be made in the payment of the
principal of and premium, if any, on any of the Debentures as and when the same
shall have become due and payable, whether at maturity of the Debentures or in
connection with any redemption, by declaration or otherwise--then, upon demand
of the Trustee, the Company will pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the
holders of the Debentures, the whole amount that then shall have become due and
payable on all such Debentures for principal and premium, if any, or interest,
or both, as the case may be, with interest upon the overdue principal and
premium, if any, and (to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable
under applicable law) upon the overdue installments of interest at the rate
borne by the Debentures; and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall
be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including a
reasonable compensation to the Trustee, its agents, attorneys and counsel, and
any expenses or liabilities incurred by the Trustee hereunder other than through
its negligence or bad faith.

                                      -43-
<PAGE>
            In case the Company shall fail forthwith to pay such amounts upon
such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust,
shall be entitled and empowered to institute any actions or proceedings at law
or in equity for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute
any such action or proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce any
such judgment or final decree against the Company or any other obligor on the
Debentures and collect in the manner provided by law out of the property of the
Company or any other obligor on the Debentures wherever situated the monies
adjudged or decreed to be payable.

            In case there shall be pending proceedings for the bankruptcy or for
the reorganization of the Company or any other obligor on the Debentures under
Title 11 of the United States Code, or any other applicable law, or in case a
receiver or trustee shall have been appointed for the property of the Company or
such other obligor, or in the case of any other similar judicial proceedings
relative to the Company or other obligor upon the Debentures, or to the
creditors or property of the Company or such other obligor, the Trustee,
irrespective of whether the principal of the Debentures shall then be due and
payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of
whether the Trustee shall have made any demand pursuant to the provisions of
this Section 6.02, shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such
proceedings or otherwise, to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole
amount of principal, premium, if any, and interest owing and unpaid in respect
of the Debentures, and, in case of any judicial proceedings, to file such proofs
of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order
to have the claims of the Trustee and of the Debentureholders allowed in such
judicial proceedings relative to the Company or any other obligor on the
Debentures, its or their creditors, or its or their property, and to collect and
receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims,
and to distribute the same after the deduction of its charges and expenses; and
any receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization is hereby
authorized by each of the Debentureholders 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 Debentureholders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for
compensation and expenses, including counsel fees incurred by it up to the date
of such distribution. To the extent that such payment of reasonable
compensation, expenses and counsel fees out of the estate in any such
proceedings shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured
by a lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends,
monies, securities and other property which the holders of the Debentures may be
entitled to receive in such proceedings,

                                      -44-
<PAGE>
whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or
otherwise.

            Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to
authorize or consent to or adopt on behalf of any Debentureholder any plan of
reorganization or arrangement, affecting the Debentures or the rights of any
Debentureholder, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of
any Debentureholder in any such proceeding.

            All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture,
or under any of the Debentures, may be enforced by the Trustee without the
possession of any of the Debentures, or the production thereof on any trial or
other proceeding relative thereto, and any such suit or proceeding instituted by
the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and
any recovery of judgment shall be for the ratable benefit of the holders of the
Debentures.

            SECTION 6.03. Application of Monies Collected by Trustee. Any monies
collected by the Trustee shall be applied in the order following, at the date or
dates fixed by the Trustee for the distribution of such monies, upon
presentation of the several Debentures, and stamping thereon the payment, if
only partially paid, and upon surrender thereof if fully paid:

            First: To the payment of costs and expenses of collection and
      reasonable compensation to the Trustee, its agents, attorneys and counsel,
      and of all other expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made,
      by the Trustee except as a result of its negligence or bad faith;

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

            Third: In case the principal of the outstanding Debentures shall
      have become due, by declaration or otherwise, to the payment of the whole
      amount then owing and unpaid upon the Debentures for principal and
      premium, if any, and interest, with interest on the overdue principal and
      premium, if any, and (to the extent that such interest has been collected
      by the Trustee) upon overdue installments of interest at the rate borne by
      the Debentures; and in case such monies shall be insufficient to pay in
      full the whole amounts so due and unpaid upon the Debentures, then to the
      payment of

                                      -45-
<PAGE>
      such principal and premium, if any, and interest without preference or
      priority of principal and premium, if any, over interest, or of interest
      over principal and premium, if any, or of any installment of interest over
      any other installment of interest, or of any Debenture over any other
      Debenture, ratably to the aggregate of such principal and premium, if any,
      and accrued and unpaid interest;

            Fourth: To the payment of the remainder, if any, to the Company.

            SECTION 6.04. Proceedings by Debentureholder. No holder of any
Debenture shall have any right by virtue of or by availing of any provision of
this Indenture to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law
upon or under or with respect to this Indenture or for the appointment of a
receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless such holder
previously shall have given to the Trustee written notice of default and of the
continuance thereof, as hereinbefore provided, and unless also the holders of
not less than twenty-five percent in aggregate principal amount of the
Debentures then outstanding shall have made written request upon the Trustee to
institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Trustee hereunder
and shall have offered to the Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it may
require against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or
thereby, and the Trustee for sixty days after its receipt of such notice,
request and offer of indemnity, shall have neglected or refused to institute any
such action, suit or proceeding, it being understood and intended, and being
expressly covenanted by the taker and holder of every Debenture with every other
taker and holder and the Trustee, that no one or more holders of Debentures
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 holder of such Debentures, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or
preference to any other such holder, or to enforce any right under this
Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable and
common benefit of all holders of Debentures (except as otherwise provided
herein). For the protection and enforcement of this Section 6.04, each and every
Debentureholder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given
either at law or in equity.

            Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture (including
the first paragraph of this Section 6.04), however, the right of any holder of
any Debenture to receive payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and
interest on such Debenture, on or after the respective due dates expressed in
such Debenture, or to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on
or after such respective dates against the Company

                                      -46-
<PAGE>
shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such holder.

            SECTION 6.05. Proceedings by Trustee. In case of an Event of Default
hereunder the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce the
rights vested in it by this Indenture by such appropriate judicial proceedings
as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any of such
rights, either by suit in equity or by action at law or by proceeding in
bankruptcy or otherwise, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or
agreement contained in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power
granted in this Indenture, or to enforce any other legal or equitable right
vested in the Trustee by this Indenture or by law.

            SECTION 6.06. Remedies Cumulative and Continuing. All powers and
remedies given by this Article Six to the Trustee or to the Debentureholders
shall, to the extent permitted by law, be deemed cumulative and not exclusive of
any thereof or of any other powers and remedies available to the Trustee or the
holders of the Debentures, by judicial proceedings or otherwise, to enforce the
performance or observance of the covenants and agreements contained in this
Indenture, and no delay or omission of the Trustee or of any holder of any of
the Debentures to exercise any right or power accruing upon any default
occurring and continuing as aforesaid shall impair any such right or power, or
shall be construed to be a waiver of any such default or an acquiescence
therein; and, subject to the provisions of Section 6.04, every power and remedy
given by this Article Six or by law to the Trustee or to the Debentureholders
may be exercised from time to time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient,
by the Trustee or by the Debentureholders.

            SECTION 6.07. Direction of Proceedings and Waiver of Defaults by
Majority Debentureholders. The holders of a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the Debentures at the time outstanding determined in accordance with
Section 8.04 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; provided, however, that (subject to
the provisions of Section 7.01) the Trustee shall have the right to decline to
follow any such direction if the Trustee shall be advised by counsel that the
action or proceeding so directed may not lawfully be taken or if the Trustee in
good faith by its board of directors or trustees, executive committee, or a
trust committee of directors or trustees and/or Responsible Officers shall
determine that the action or proceedings so directed could involve the Trustee
in personal liability. Prior to any declaration accelerating the maturity of the
Debentures, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Debentures at the time

                                      -47-
<PAGE>
outstanding may on behalf of the holders of all of the Debentures waive any past
default or Event of Default hereunder and its consequences except a default in
the payment of interest, or premium, if any, on, or the principal of, the
Debentures. Upon any such waiver the Company, the Trustee and the holders of the
Debentures shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder,
respectively; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default
or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. Whenever any default
or Event of Default hereunder shall have been waived as permitted by this
Section 6.07, said default or Event of Default shall for all purposes of the
Debentures and this Indenture be deemed to have been cured and to be not
continuing.

                                 ARTICLE SEVEN

                             CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE

            SECTION 7.01. Duties and Responsibilities of Trustee; During
Default; Prior to Default. The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of
Default and after the curing or waiving of all Events of Default which may have
occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are
specifically set forth in this Indenture. In case an Event of Default has
occurred (which has not been cured or waived) the Trustee shall exercise such of
the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of
care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent man would exercise or use under
the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs.

            No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the
Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure
to act or its own willful misconduct, except that

            (a)   prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the
      curing or waiving of all Events of Default which may have occurred:

                  (1)   the duties and obligations of the Trustee shall be
                  determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture,
                  and the Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance
                  of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth
                  in this Indenture and no implied covenants or obligations
                  shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and

                                      -48-
<PAGE>
                  (2)   in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee,
      the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and
      the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any statements,
      certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the
      requirements of this Indenture; but, in the case of any such statements,
      certificates or opinions which by any provisions hereof are specifically
      required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty
      to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the
      requirements of this Indenture;

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

            (c)   the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action
      taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the
      direction of the holders of not less than a majority in principal amount
      of the Debentures at the time outstanding determined as provided in
      Section 8.04 relating to the time, method and place of conducting any
      proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any
      trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Indenture.

            None of the provisions contained in this Indenture shall require the
Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur personal financial
liability in the performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of any of
its rights or powers, if there is reasonable ground for believing that the
repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is
not reasonably assured to it.

            The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Event of
Default described in Section 6.01(c), 6.01(d), 6.01(e) or 6.01(f) or any event
which, with the passage of time, might become an Event of Default described in
Section 6.01(c), 6.01(d), 6.01(e) or 6.01(f) unless the Trustee has received
written notice thereof, addressed to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee.

            This Section 7.01 is in furtherance of and subject to Sections 315
and 316 of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939.

            SECTION 7.02. Certain Rights of the Trustee. In furtherance of and
subject to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, and subject to Section 7.01:

            (a)   the Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting upon any
      resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice,
      request, consent, order,

                                      -49-
<PAGE>
      bond, debenture or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine
      and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties;

            (b)   any request, direction, order or demand of the Company
      mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by an Officers'
      Certificate (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein
      specifically prescribed); and any resolution of the Board of Directors may
      be evidenced to the Trustee by a copy thereof certified by the Secretary
      or an Assistant Secretary of the Company;

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

            (d)   the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of
      the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request, order
      or direction of any of the Debentureholders, pursuant to the provisions of
      this Indenture, unless such Debentureholders shall have offered to the
      Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and
      liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby;

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

            (f)   prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder and
      after the curing or waiving of all Events of Default, the Trustee shall
      not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in
      any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report,
      notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond, debenture, note or other
      paper or document unless requested in writing to do so by the holders of
      not less than a majority in principal amount of the Debentures then
      outstanding; provided, however, that if the payment within a reasonable
      time to the Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be
      incurred by it in the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of
      the Trustee, not reasonably assured to the Trustee by the security
      afforded to it by the terms of this Indenture, the Trustee may require
      reasonable indemnity against such expense or liability as a condition to
      so proceeding; and

            (g)   the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder
      or perform any duties hereunder either directly or

                                      -50-
<PAGE>
      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 by it with due care hereunder.

            SECTION 7.03. No Responsibility for Recitals, etc. The recitals
contained herein and in the Debentures (except in the Trustee's certificate of
authentication) shall be taken as the statements of the Company, and the Trustee
assumes no responsibility for the correctness of the same. The Trustee makes no
representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the
Debentures. The Trustee shall not be responsible for the statements relating to
the Debentures in the registration statement for the Debentures filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the
use or application by the Company of any Debentures or the proceeds of any
Debentures authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in conformity with the
provisions of this Indenture.

            SECTION 7.04. Trustee, Paying Agents or Registrar May Own
Debentures. The Trustee or any paying agent or Debenture registrar or any other
agent of the Company, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the
owner or pledgee of Debentures with the same rights it would have if it were not
Trustee, paying agent, Debenture registrar or such other agent.

            SECTION 7.05. Monies to Be Held in Trust. Subject to the provisions
of Section 12.04, all monies received by the Trustee shall, until used or
applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they
were received. Money held by the Trustee in trust hereunder need not be
segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. The Trustee
shall be under no liability for interest on any money received by it hereunder
except as otherwise agreed in writing with the Company.

            SECTION 7.06. Compensation and Expenses of Trustee. The Company
covenants and agrees to pay to the Trustee from time to time, and the Trustee
shall be entitled to, reasonable compensation (which shall not be limited by any
provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express
trust), and the Company will pay or reimburse the Trustee upon its request for
all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the
Trustee in accordance with any of the provisions of this Indenture (including
the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its counsel
and of all persons not regularly in its employ) except to the extent any such
expense, disbursement or advance may arise from its negligence or bad faith. The
Company also covenants to indemnify and defend the Trustee for, and to hold it
harmless against, any loss, liability or expense arising out of or in

                                      -51-
<PAGE>
connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust and the
performance of its duties hereunder, including the costs and expenses of
defending itself against any claim of liability in the premises, except to the
extent any such loss, liability or expense may arise from the Trustee's
negligence or bad faith. The obligations of the Company under this Section 7.06
to compensate or indemnify the Trustee and to pay or reimburse the Trustee for
expenses, disbursements and advances shall be secured by a lien prior to that of
the Debentures upon all property and funds held or collected by the Trustee as
such, except funds held in trust for the benefit of the holders of particular
Debentures. The obligation of the Company under this Section shall survive the
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. Any compensation or expense
incurred by the Trustee after a default specified in Section 6.01(e) or 6.01(f)
is intended to constitute an expense of administration under any then applicable
bankruptcy or insolvency law. "Trustee" for purposes of this Section 7.06 shall
include any predecessor Trustee but the negligence or bad faith of any Trustee
shall not affect the rights of any other Trustee under this Section 7.06.

            SECTION 7.07. Officers' Certificate as Evidence. Except as otherwise
provided in Section 7.01, whenever in the administration of the provisions of
this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be
proved or established prior to taking or omitting any action hereunder, such
matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically
prescribed) may, in the absence of negligence or bad faith on the part of the
Trustee, be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by an Officers'
Certificate delivered to the Trustee, and such Certificate, in the absence of
negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, shall be full warrant to the
Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it under the provisions of this
Indenture upon the faith thereof.

            SECTION 7.08. Eligibility of Trustee. The Trustee hereunder shall at
all times be a corporation having a combined capital and surplus of at least
twenty-five million dollars, and which is eligible in accordance with the
provisions of Section 310(a) of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939. If such
corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or
to the requirements of a Federal, State, or District of Columbia supervising or
examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 7.08, 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.

            SECTION 7.09. Resignation or Removal of Trustee. (a) The Trustee may
at any time resign by giving written notice of resignation to the Company and by
mailing notice thereof to

                                      -52-
<PAGE>
the holders of Debentures at their addresses as they shall appear on the
registry books of the Company. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the
Company shall promptly appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in
duplicate, executed by order of the Board of Directors, one copy of which
instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and one copy to the
successor trustee. If no successor trustee shall have been so appointed and have
accepted appointment within sixty days after the mailing of such notice of
resignation to the Debentureholders, the resigning Trustee may petition any
court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee, or
any Debentureholder who has been a bona fide holder of a Debenture or Debentures
for at least six months may, subject to the provisions of Section 315(e) of the
Trust Indenture Act of 1939, on behalf of himself and all others similarly
situated, petition any such court for the appointment of a successor trustee.
Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and
prescribe, appoint a successor trustee.

            (b)   In case at any time any of the following shall occur:

            (1)   the Trustee shall fail to comply with the provisions of
      Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, after written request
      therefor by the Company or by any Debentureholder who has been a bona fide
      holder of a Debenture or Debentures for at least six months, or

            (2)   the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
      provisions of Section 7.08 and shall fail to resign after written request
      therefor by the Company or by any such Debentureholder, or

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

then, in any such case the Company may remove the Trustee and appoint a
successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by order of the
Board of Directors, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the
Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor trustee, or, subject to Section
315(e) of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, any Debentureholder who has been a
bona fide holder of a Debenture or Debentures 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 and the appointment of a
successor trustee. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as

                                      -53-
<PAGE>
it may deem proper and prescribe, remove the Trustee and appoint a successor
trustee.

            (c)   The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Debentures at the time outstanding may at any time remove the Trustee and
nominate a successor trustee which shall be deemed appointed as successor
trustee unless within ten days after such nomination the Company objects
thereto, in which case the Trustee so removed or any Debentureholder, upon the
terms and conditions and otherwise as in subdivision (a) of this Section 7.09
provided, may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for an appointment of
a successor trustee.

            (d)   Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a
successor trustee to any of the provisions of this Section 7.09 shall become
effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in
Section 7.10.

            SECTION 7.10. Acceptance by Successor Trustee. Any successor trustee
appointed as provided in Section 7.09 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to
the Company and to its predecessor trustee an instrument accepting such
appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the
predecessor trustee shall become effective and such successor trustee, without
any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights,
powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as
if originally named as trustee herein; but, nevertheless, on the written request
of the Company or of the successor trustee, the trustee ceasing to act shall,
upon payment of any amounts then due it pursuant to the provisions of Section
7.06, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor trustee
all the rights and powers of the trustee so ceasing to act. Upon request of any
such successor trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments in
writing for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor
trustee all such rights and powers. Any trustee ceasing to act shall,
nevertheless, retain a lien upon all property or funds held or collected by such
trustee to secure any amounts then due it pursuant to the provisions of Section
7.06.

            Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in
this Section 7.10, the Company shall mail notice of the succession of such
trustee hereunder to the holders of Debentures at their addresses as they shall
appear on the registry books of the Company. If the Company fails to mail such
notice within ten days after acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee,
the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the
Company.

                                      -54-
<PAGE>
            SECTION 7.11. Succession by Merger, etc. 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 of the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the
successor to the Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation shall be eligible
under the provisions of Section 7.08 without the execution or filing of any
paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything to
the contrary notwithstanding.

            In case at the time such successor to the Trustee shall succeed to
the trusts created by this Indenture any of the Debentures shall have been
authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may adopt the
certificate of authentication of any predecessor trustee, and deliver such
Debentures so authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Debentures
shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee may authenticate
such Debentures either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name
of the successor trustee; and in all such cases such certificates shall have the
full force which it is anywhere in the Debentures or in this Indenture provided
that the certificate of the Trustee shall have; provided, however, that the
right to adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor trustee or
authenticate Debentures in the name of any predecessor trustee shall apply only
to its successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation.

            SECTION 7.12. Disqualification; Conflicting Interests. If the
Trustee has or shall acquire a conflicting interest within the meaning of the
Trust Indenture Act of 1939, the Trustee shall either eliminate such interest or
resign, to the extent and in the manner provided by, and subject to the
provisions of, the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 and this Indenture. The Indenture
dated as of June 1, 1993 between the Company and the Trustee relating to the
2003 Notes is excluded from the operation of Section 310(b)(1) of the Trust
Indenture Act of 1939.

                                 ARTICLE EIGHT

                        CONCERNING THE DEBENTUREHOLDERS

            SECTION 8.01. Action by Debentureholders. Whenever in this Indenture
it is provided that the holders of a specified percentage in aggregate principal
amount of the Debentures may take any action (including the making of any demand
or request, the giving of any notice, consent or waiver or the taking of any

                                      -55-
<PAGE>
other action), the fact that at the time of taking any such action the holders
of such specified percentage have joined therein may be evidenced (a) by any
instrument or any number of instruments of similar tenor executed by
Debentureholders in person or by agent or proxy appointed in writing, or (b) by
the record of the holders of Debentures voting in favor thereof at any meeting
of Debentureholders duly called and held in accordance with the provisions of
Article Nine, or (c) by a combination of such instrument or instruments and any
such record of such a meeting of Debentureholders.

            SECTION 8.02. Proof of Execution by Debentureholders; Record Date.
Subject to the provisions of Sections 7.01, 7.02 and 9.05, proof of the
execution of any instrument by a Debentureholder or his agent or proxy shall be
sufficient if made in accordance with such reasonable rules and regulations as
may be prescribed by the Trustee or in such manner as shall be satisfactory to
the Trustee. The ownership of Debentures shall be proved by the registry of such
Debentures or by a certificate of the Debenture registrar. The Company may set a
record date for purposes of determining the identity of holders of Debentures
entitled to vote or consent to any action referred to in Section 8.01 or Section
9.01, which record date may be set at any time or from time to time by notice to
the Trustee, for any date or dates (in the case of any adjournment or
resolicitation) not more than 60 days nor less than five days prior to the
proposed date of such vote or consent, and thereafter, notwithstanding any other
provisions hereof, only holders of Debentures of record on such record date
shall be entitled to so vote or give such consent or to withdraw such vote or
consent.

            The record of any Debentureholders' meeting shall be proved in the
manner provided in Section 9.06.

            SECTION 8.03. Who Are Deemed Absolute Owners. The Company, the
Trustee, any paying agent, and any Debenture registrar may deem the person in
whose name such Debenture shall be registered upon the books of the Company to
be, and may treat him as, the absolute owner of such Debenture (whether or not
such Debenture shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or
other writing thereon) for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of
the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on such Debenture; and
neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any paying agent nor any Debenture
registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. All such payments so
made to any holder for the time being, or upon his order shall be valid, and, to
the extent of the sum or sums so paid, effectual to satisfy and discharge the
liability for monies payable upon any such Debenture.

                                      -56-
<PAGE>
            SECTION 8.04. Company-Owned Debentures Disregarded. In determining
whether the holders of the requisite aggregate principal amount of Debentures
have concurred in any direction, consent, waiver or other action under this
Indenture, Debentures which are owned by the Company or any other obligor on the
Debentures or by any person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by
or under direct or indirect common control with the Company or any other obligor
on the Debentures shall be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding for the
purpose of any such determination; provided that for the purposes of determining
whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction,
consent, waiver or other action only Debentures which the Trustee knows are so
owned shall be so disregarded. Debentures so owned which have been pledged in
good faith may be regarded as outstanding for the purposes of this Section 8.04
if the pledgee shall establish to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee's
right to vote such Debentures and that the pledgee is not the Company or any
other obligor or a person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or
under direct or indirect common control with the Company or any such other
obligor. In the case of a dispute as to such right, any decision by the Trustee
taken upon the advice of counsel shall be full protection to the Trustee.

            SECTION 8.05. Revocation of Consents; Future Holders Bound. At any
time prior to (but not after) the evidencing to the Trustee, as provided in
Section 8.01, of the taking of any action by the holders of the percentage in
aggregate principal amount of the Debentures specified in this Indenture in
connection with such action, any holder of a Debenture which is shown by the
evidence to be included in the Debentures the holders of which have consented to
such action may, by filing written notice with the Trustee at the Principal
Office of the Trustee and upon proof of holding as provided in Section 8.02,
revoke such action so far as concerns such Debenture. Except as aforesaid any
such action taken by the holder of any Debenture shall be conclusive and binding
upon such holder and upon all future holders and owners of such Debenture,
irrespective of whether any notation in regard thereto is made upon such
Debenture or any Debenture issued in exchange or substitution therefor.

                                  ARTICLE NINE

                           DEBENTUREHOLDERS' MEETINGS

            SECTION 9.01. Purposes of Meetings. A meeting of Debentureholders
may be called at any time and from time to time pursuant to the provisions of

      behalf of the holders of any specified aggregate principal amount of the
      Debentures under any other provision of this Indenture or under applicable
      law.

            SECTION 9.02. Call of Meetings by Trustee. The Trustee may at any
time call a meeting of Debentureholders to take any action specified in Section
9.01, to be held at such time and at such place in the Borough of Manhattan, The
City of New York, New York, as the Trustee shall determine. Notice of every
meeting of the Debentureholders, setting forth the time and the place of such
meeting and in general terms the action proposed to be taken at such meeting,
shall be mailed to holders of Debentures at their addresses as they shall appear
on the registry books of the Company. Such notice shall be mailed not less than
twenty nor more than ninety days prior to the date fixed for the meeting.

            Any meeting of Debentureholders shall be valid without notice if the
holders of all Debentures then outstanding are present in person or by proxy or
if notice is waived before or after the meeting by the holders of all Debentures
outstanding, and if the Company and the Trustee are either present by duly
authorized representatives or have, before or after the meeting, waived notice.

            SECTION 9.03. Call of Meetings by Company or Debentureholders. In
case at any time the Company, pursuant to a resolution of its Board of
Directors, or the holders of at least ten percent in aggregate principal amount
of the Debentures then outstanding, shall have requested the Trustee to call a
meeting of Debentureholders, by written request setting forth in reasonable
detail the action proposed to be taken at the meeting, and the Trustee shall not
have mailed the notice of such meeting within twenty days after receipt of such
request, then the Company or such Debentureholders may determine the time and
the place in said Borough of Manhattan for such meeting and may call

                                      -58-
<PAGE>

thereof as provided in Section 9.02.

            SECTION 9.04. Qualifications for Voting. To be entitled to vote at
any meeting of Debentureholders a person shall (a) be a holder of one or more
Debentures as of the record date in respect of such vote set pursuant to Section
8.02 or (b) be a person appointed by an instrument in writing as proxy by a
holder of one or more Debentures. The only persons who shall be entitled to be

the Trustee and its counsel and any representatives of the Company and its
counsel.

            SECTION 9.05. Regulations. Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Indenture, the Trustee may make such reasonable regulations as it may deem

appointment and duties of inspectors of votes, the submission and examination of
proxies, certificates and other evidence of the right to vote, and such other
matters concerning the conduct of the meeting as it shall think fit.

            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 Debentureholders as provided in Section 9.03, in which case the
Company or the Debentureholders 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 holders of a
majority in principal amount of the Debentures represented at the meeting and
entitled to vote at the meeting.

            Subject to the provisions of Section 8.04, at any meeting each
Debentureholder or proxy shall be entitled to one vote for each $100,000
principal amount of Debentures held or represented by him; provided, however,
that no vote shall be cast or counted at any meeting in respect of any Debenture
challenged as not outstanding and ruled by the chairman of the meeting not to be
outstanding. The chairman of the meeting shall have no right to vote other than
by virtue of Debentures held by him or instruments in writing as aforesaid duly

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

Nine contained shall be deemed or construed to authorize or permit, by reason of
any call of a meeting of Debentureholders or any rights expressly or impliedly
conferred hereunder to make such call, any hindrance or delay in the exercise of
any right or rights conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the
Debentureholders under any of the provisions of this Indenture or of the
Debentures.

                            SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES

            SECTION 10.01. Supplemental Indentures without Consent of
Debentureholders. The Company, when authorized by the resolutions of the Board
of Directors, and the Trustee may from time to time and at any time enter into
an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for one or more of the following
purposes:

            (a)   to evidence the succession of another corporation to the
      Company, or successive successions, and the assumption by the successor
      corporation of the covenants, agreements and obligations of the Company
      pursuant to Article Eleven hereof;

            (b)   to add to the covenants of the Company such further covenants,
      restrictions or conditions as the Board of Directors and the Trustee shall
      consider to be for the benefit of the holders of Debentures, and to make
      the occurrence, or the occurrence and continuance, of a default in any
      such additional covenants, restrictions or conditions a default or an
      Event of Default permitting the enforcement of all or any of the several
      remedies provided in this Indenture as herein set forth; provided,
      however, that in respect of any such additional covenant, restriction or
      condition 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;

            (c)   to provide for the issuance under this Indenture of Debentures
      in coupon form (including Debentures registrable as to principal only) and
      to provide for exchangeability of such Debentures with the Debentures
      issued hereunder in fully registered form and to make all appropriate
      changes for such purpose; or

            (d)   to cure any ambiguity or to correct or supplement any
      provision contained herein or in any supplemental indenture which may be
      inconsistent with any other provision contained herein or in any
      supplemental indenture, or to make such other provisions in regard to
      matters or questions arising under this Indenture which shall not
      adversely affect the interests of the holders of the Debentures in any
      material respect.

            The Trustee is hereby authorized to join with the Company in the
execution of any such supplemental indenture, to make any

                                      -61-
<PAGE>
further appropriate agreements and stipulations which may be therein contained
and to accept the conveyance, transfer and assignment of any property
thereunder, but the Trustee shall not be obligated to, but may in its
discretion, enter into any such supplemental indenture which affects the
Trustee's own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

            Any supplemental indenture authorized by the provisions of this
Section 10.01 may be executed by the Company and the Trustee without the consent
of the holders of any of the Debentures at the time outstanding, notwithstanding
any of the provisions of Section 10.02.

            SECTION 10.02. Supplemental Indentures with Consent of
Debentureholders. With the consent (evidenced as provided in Section 8.01) of
the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Debentures at the
time outstanding, the Company, when authorized by the resolutions of the Board
of Directors, and the Trustee may from time to time and at any time enter into
an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding any
provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of
this Indenture or of any supplemental indenture or of modifying in any manner
the rights of the holders of the Debentures; provided, however, that no such
supplemental indenture shall (i) extend the fixed maturity of any Debenture, or
reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon, or reduce the
principal amount thereof or premium, if any, thereon, or make the principal
thereof or interest or premium, if any, thereon payable in any coin or currency
other than that provided in the Debentures without the consent of the holder of
each Debenture so affected, or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of
Debentures, the holders of which are required to consent to any such
supplemental indenture, without the consent of the holders of all Debentures
then outstanding.

            Upon the request of the Company, accompanied by a copy of the
resolutions of the Board of Directors certified by its Secretary or Assistant
Secretary authorizing the execution of any such supplemental indenture, and upon
the filing with the Trustee of evidence of the consent of Debentureholders as
aforesaid, the Trustee shall join with the Company in the execution of such
supplemental indenture unless such supplemental indenture affects the Trustee's
own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which
case the Trustee may in its discretion, but shall not be obligated to, enter
into such supplemental indenture.

            It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Debentureholders
under this Section 10.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed
supplemental indenture, but it

                                      -62-
<PAGE>
shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof.

            SECTION 10.03. Compliance with Trust Indenture Act; Effect of
Supplemental Indentures. Any supplemental indenture executed pursuant to the
provisions of this Article Ten, and this Indenture as affected by such
supplemental indenture, shall comply with the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as
then in effect. Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the
provisions of this Article Ten, this Indenture shall be and be deemed to be
modified and amended in accordance therewith and the respective rights,
limitation of rights, obligations, duties and immunities under this Indenture of
the Trustee, the Company and the holders of Debentures shall thereafter be
determined, exercised and enforced hereunder subject in all respects to such
modifications and amendments and all the terms and conditions of any such
supplemental indenture shall be and be deemed to be part of the terms and
conditions of this Indenture for any and all purposes.

            SECTION 10.04. Notation on Debentures. Debentures authenticated and
delivered after the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the
provisions of this Article Ten may bear a notation in form approved by the
Trustee as to any matter provided for in such supplemental indenture. If the
Company or the Trustee shall so determine, new Debentures so modified as to
conform, in the opinion of the Trustee and the Board of Directors, to any
modification of this Indenture contained in any such supplemental indenture may
be prepared and executed by the Company, authenticated by the Trustee and
delivered in exchange for the Debentures then outstanding, upon surrender of
such Debentures then outstanding.

            SECTION 10.05. Evidence of Compliance of Supplemental Indenture to
Be Furnished to the Trustee. The Trustee, subject to the provisions of Sections
7.01 and 7.02, may receive an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel as
conclusive evidence that any supplemental indenture executed pursuant hereto
complies with the requirements of this Article Ten.

                                 ARTICLE ELEVEN

            SECTION 11.01. Company May Consolidate, etc., on Certain Terms.
Subject to the provisions of Section 11.02, nothing contained in this Indenture

<PAGE>
with the Company), or successive consolidations or mergers in which the Company
or its successor or successors shall be a party or parties, or shall prevent any
sale, conveyance or lease (or successive sales, conveyances or leases) of all or
substantially all of the property of the Company, to any other corporation
(whether or not affiliated with the Company), if such corporation is authorized
to acquire and operate the same and is organized under the laws of a State of
the United States or the District of Columbia; provided, however, and the
Company hereby covenants and agrees, (i) that upon any such consolidation,
merger, sale, conveyance or lease, the due and punctual payment of the principal
of and premium, if any, and interest on all of the Debentures, according to
their tenor, and the due and punctual performance and observance of all of the
covenants and conditions of this Indenture to be performed by the Company, shall
be expressly assumed, by supplemental indenture satisfactory in form to the
Trustee, executed and delivered to the Trustee by the corporation (if other than
the Company) formed by such consolidation, or into which the Company shall have
been merged, or by the corporation which shall have acquired or leased such
property and (ii) that immediately after such consolidation, merger, sale,
conveyance or lease, the surviving, succeeding, acquiring or leasing corporation
shall not be in default under this Indenture.

            SECTION 11.02. Successor Corporation to Be Substituted. In case of
any such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance or lease and upon the
assumption by the successor corporation, by supplemental indenture, executed and
delivered to the Trustee and satisfactory in form to the Trustee, of the due and
punctual payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on all of
the Debentures and the due and punctual performance of all of the covenants and
conditions of this Indenture to be performed by the Company, such successor
corporation shall succeed to and be substituted for the Company, with the same
effect as if it had been named herein as the party of the first part. Such
successor corporation thereupon may cause to be signed, and may issue in its own
name any or all of the Debentures issuable hereunder which theretofore shall not
have been signed by the Company and delivered to the Trustee; and, upon the
order of such successor corporation instead of the Company and subject to all
the terms, conditions and limitations in this Indenture prescribed, the Trustee
shall authenticate and shall deliver any Debentures which previously shall have
been signed and delivered by the officers of the Company to the Trustee for
authentication, and any Debentures which such successor corporation thereafter
shall cause to be signed and delivered to the Trustee for that purpose. All the
Debentures so issued shall in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit
under this Indenture as the Debentures theretofore or thereafter issued in
accordance with the terms of this Indenture as though all of such Debentures had
been issued

                                      -64-

at the date of the execution hereof. In the event of any such sale, conveyance
or lease, the person named as the "Company" in the first paragraph of this
Indenture or any successor which shall thereafter have become such in the manner
prescribed in this Article Eleven may be dissolved, wound up and liquidated at
any time thereafter and such person shall be released from its liabilities as
obligor and maker of the Debentures and from its obligations under this
Indenture.

            In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance or
lease, such changes in phraseology and form (but not in substance) may be made
in the Debentures thereafter to be issued as may be appropriate.

            SECTION 11.03. Opinion of Counsel to Be Given to Trustee. The
Trustee, subject to Sections 7.01 and 7.02, may receive an Officers' Certificate
and an Opinion of Counsel as conclusive evidence that any such consolidation,
merger, sale, conveyance or lease and any such assumption complies with the
provisions of this Article Eleven.

authenticated and delivered) and not theretofore cancelled, or (b) all the
Debentures not theretofore cancelled or delivered to the Trustee for

premium, if any, and interest due or to become due to such date of maturity, as
the case may be, and if the Company shall also pay or cause to be paid all other
sums payable hereunder by the Company, then this Indenture shall cease to be of
further effect (except as to (i) remaining rights of registration of transfer,

receive payments of principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, the

paying agent), to the holders of the particular Debentures for the payment of
which such monies have been deposited with the Trustee, of all sums due and to
become due thereon for principal and interest and premium, if any.

            SECTION 12.03. Paying Agent to Repay Monies Held. Upon the
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, all monies then held by any paying
agent of the Debentures (other than the Trustee) shall, upon demand of the
Company, be repaid to it or paid to the Trustee, and thereupon such paying agent
shall be released from all further liability with respect to such monies.

            SECTION 12.04. Return of Unclaimed Monies. Any monies deposited with
or paid to the Trustee for payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or
interest on Debentures and not applied but remaining unclaimed by the holders of
Debentures for two years after the date upon which the principal of, premium, if
any, or interest on such Debentures, as the case may be, shall have become due
and payable, shall be repaid to the Company by the Trustee on demand and all
liability of the Trustee shall thereupon cease with respect to such monies; and
the holder of any of the Debentures shall thereafter look only to the Company
for any payment which such holder may be entitled to collect.

amount of and premium (if any) on

                                      -66-
<PAGE>
the Debentures and each installment of interest due and to become due, as the
same shall become due on the Debentures (calculated as provided below), in each
case to the date of maturity of the Debentures through a deposit of funds in an
amount which satisfies subsection (i) below, or of investments in an amount
which satisfies subsection (ii) below, or a combination of funds and
investments, each of which component satisfies the appropriate test as to its
respective portion of the total principal, premium (if any) and interest to be
funded (as provided below):

            (i)   by depositing with the Trustee in trust for the sole benefit
      of the Debentureholders, funds in an amount sufficient to pay (A) such
      principal amount of and premium (if any) on the Debentures in full on the
      date of maturity of the Debentures and (B) the interest on such aggregate
      principal amount to the date of maturity of the Debentures, taking into
      account all intervening interest payment dates, for the period from the
      date through which interest on the Debentures has been paid to the date of
      maturity of the Debentures; and provided further that such funds, if
      invested, shall be invested only in U.S. Government Obligations maturing
      prior to the date of maturity of the Debentures and such intervening
      interest payment dates; or

            (ii)  by depositing with the Trustee, in trust for the sole benefit
      of the Debentureholders, U.S. Government Obligations in such aggregate
      principal amount and maturing on such dates as will, together with the
      income or increment to accrue thereon, but without consideration of any
      reinvestment of such income or increment, be sufficient to pay when due
      (including any intervening interest payment dates) the amounts set forth
      in clauses (A) and (B) of subsection (i) above; and if the Trustee shall
      receive (x) an Officers' Certificate, dated the date of such deposit and
      in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee, to the effect that the
      amount of the trust deposit will be sufficient to pay when due on the date
      of maturity of the Debentures and on such intervening interest payment
      dates the amounts described in clauses (A) and (B) in subsection (i) above
      and that such defeasance is not in anticipation of a Preferred Stock
      Redemption Payment and (y) an Opinion of Counsel, dated the date of such
      deposit and in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee, to the
      effect that the trust deposit of such funds or investments or both to
      defease the Company's obligations in respect of the Debentures (A) does
      not contravene applicable law and is in accordance with the provisions of
      this Indenture, (B) describing either a private ruling concerning the
      Debentures or a published ruling of the Internal Revenue Service to the
      effect that Debentureholders, or persons in the position of
      Debentureholders, will not recognize income, gain or loss for

                                      -67-
<PAGE>
      federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit, defeasance and
      discharge and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amount and
      in the same manner and at the same times, as would have been the case if
      such deposit, defeasance and discharge had not occurred and (C) does not
      require that the Company, the trust or the Trustee register as an
      investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended;
      and if the Company shall also pay or cause to be paid all other sums then
      due and payable hereunder, then the Company's obligations in respect of
      the Debentures shall cease, determine and be terminated and this Indenture
      shall cease to be of further effect (except as specified in Section
      13.01(b)).

            (b)   Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Indenture shall continue
to be effective, regardless of any defeasance specified in this Section 13.01,
as to (i) remaining rights of registration of transfer, substitution and
exchange of Debentures, (ii) rights hereunder of holders regarding replacement
of stolen, lost or mutilated Debentures, (iii) the obligation of the Company to
maintain an office or agency as provided in Section 4.02, (iv) rights hereunder
of Debentureholders to receive payments of principal of and premium, if any, and
interest on the Debentures and the other rights, duties and obligations of
Debentureholders, as beneficiaries hereof with respect to the amounts, if any,
so deposited with the Trustee and (v) the rights, obligations and immunities of
the Trustee hereunder.

            (c)   The Trustee, on demand of the Company and following the
Trustee's receipt of all documents, funds and investments and payments specified
in Section 13.01(a), and at the cost and expense of the Company, shall execute
proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction of and discharging this Indenture;
the Company, however, hereby agreeing to reimburse the Trustee for any costs or
expenses thereafter reasonably and properly incurred by the Trustee in
connection with this Indenture or the Debentures.
