consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken
by Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of
substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by agent duly
appointed in writing. If Securities of a series are issuable as Bearer
Securities, any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent,
waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by
Holders of such series may, alternatively, be embodied in and evidenced by the
record of Holders of Securities of such series voting in favor thereof, either
in person or by proxies duly appointed in writing, at any meeting of Holders of
Securities of such series duly called and held in accordance with the provisions
of Article Thirteen, or a combination of such instruments and any such record.
Except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become
effective when such instrument or instruments or record or both are delivered to
the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Company. Such
instrument or instruments and any such record (and the action embodied therein
and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the "Act" of the
Holders signing such instrument or instruments and so voting at any such
meeting. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing
any such agent, or of the holding by any Person of a Security, shall be
sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 601)
conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Company, if made in the manner
provided in this Section. The record of any meeting of Holders of Securities
shall be proved in the manner provided in Section 1306.

               (b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such
instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such
execution or by a certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by
law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing
such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Where such
execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than his individual
capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof
of his authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or
writing, or the authority of the Person executing the same, may also be proved
in any other manner which the Trustee deems sufficient.

               (c) The principal amount and serial numbers of Registered
Securities held by any Person, and the date of holding the same, shall be proved
by the Security Register.

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

                                       10
<PAGE>   17

longer Outstanding. The principal amount and serial numbers of Bearer Securities
held by any Person, and the date of holding the same, may also be proved in any
other manner which the Trustee deems sufficient.

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

               (f) The Company may set a record date for purposes of determining
the identity of Holders of Registered Securities of any series entitled to vote
or consent to any action by vote or consent authorized or permitted by Section
512 or Section 513. Such record date shall be the later of 30 days prior to the
first solicitation of such consent or the date of the most recent list of
Holders of such Securities furnished to the Trustee pursuant to Section 701
prior to such solicitation.

waiver or Act of Holders or other document provided or permitted by this

               (1) the Trustee by any Holder or by the Company shall be
        sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or
        filed in writing to or with the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office,
        Attention: [_________________________], or

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

Section 106.   Notice to Holders of Securities; Waiver.

               Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, where this
Indenture provides for notice to Holders of Securities of any event,

               (1) such notice shall be sufficiently given to Holders of
        Registered Securities if in writing and mailed, first-class postage
        prepaid, to each Holder of a Registered Security affected by such event,
        at the address of such Holder as it appears in the Security Register,
        not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date,
        prescribed for the giving of such notice; and

               (2) such notice shall be sufficiently given to Holders of
        Bearer Securities if published on a Business Day in an Authorized
        Newspaper in The City of New York and

                                       11
<PAGE>   18

        in such other city or cities as may be specified in such Securities, at
        least twice, each such publication to be not earlier than the earliest
        date, and not later than the latest date, prescribed for the giving of
        such notice.

               In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by
reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to give such notice to
Holders of Registered Securities by mail, then such notification as shall be
made with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notification
for every purpose hereunder. In any case where notice to Holders of Registered
Securities is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any
defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder of a Registered
Security shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other
Holders of Registered Securities or the sufficiency of any notice to Holders of
Bearer Securities given as provided herein.

               In case by reason of the suspension of publication of any
Authorized Newspaper or Authorized Newspapers or by reason of any other cause it
shall be impracticable to publish any notice to Holders of Bearer Securities as
provided above, then such notification to Holders of Bearer Securities as shall
be given with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute sufficient notice to
such Holders for every purpose hereunder. Neither the failure to give notice by
publication to Holders of Bearer Securities as provided above, nor any defect in
any notice so published, shall affect the sufficiency of any notice mailed to
Holders of Registered Securities given as provided herein.

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

Section 107.   Language of Notices, Etc.

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

Section 108.   Conflict with Trust Indenture Act.

               If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with the
duties imposed by any of Sections 310 to 317, inclusive, of the Trust Indenture
Act through operation of Section 318(c) of the Trust Indenture Act, the duties
imposed upon the Trustee by the Trust Indenture Act will control. The parties
hereto further agree that in the case of any duty of the Trustee detailed herein
that relates to a specific subject matter covered by the Trust Indenture Act and
is set forth herein in a different manner than in the Trust Indenture Act (which
manner does not limit, qualify or conflict with the duties imposed by the Trust
Indenture Act but is susceptible to the interpretation that it imposes an
additional duty on the Trustee), the Trustee shall only be required to comply
with the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act with respect to that particular
subject matter and shall have no additional contractual duties.

               In case any provision in this Indenture or the Securities or
coupons shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and
enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or
impaired thereby.

Section 112.   Benefits of Indenture.

               Nothing in this Indenture or the Securities or coupons, express
or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto, their
successors hereunder and the Holders of Securities and coupons, any benefit or
any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture.

Section 113.   Governing Law.

               This Indenture and the Securities and coupons shall be governed
by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California.

Section 114.   Legal Holidays.

               Except as specified pursuant to Section 301, in any case where
any Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date, Repayment Date or Stated Maturity of
any Security shall not be a Business Day at any Place of Payment, then
(notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or of the Securities or
coupons other than a provision in the Securities of any series which
specifically states that such provision shall apply in lieu of this Section)
payment of interest or principal and any premium need not be made at such Place
of Payment on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day at
such Place of Payment with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest
Payment Date, Redemption Date or Repayment Date, or at the Stated Maturity,
provided that no interest shall accrue on the amount so payable for the period
from and after such Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date, Repayment Date or
Stated Maturity, as the case may be.

                                 Security Forms

Section 201.   Forms Generally.

               The Registered Securities, if any, of each series and the Bearer
Securities, if any, of each series and related coupons shall be in such form
(including temporary or permanent global form) as shall be established by or
pursuant to a Board Resolution or in one or more indentures supplemental hereto,
in each case with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and
other variations as are required or permitted by this Indenture, and may have
such letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such legends or
endorsements placed thereon as may be required to comply with the rules of any
securities exchange or as may, consistently herewith, be determined by the
officers executing such Securities or coupons, as evidenced by their execution
of the Securities or coupons. Any such legends or endorsements placed on such
Securities by the Company after the execution of the Securities or coupons shall
be delivered in writing to the Trustee by the Company. If temporary Securities
of any series are issued in global form as permitted by Section 304, the form
thereof shall be established as provided in the preceding sentence. If the forms
of Securities or coupons of any series are established by action taken pursuant
to a Board Resolution, a copy of an appropriate record of such action shall be
certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company and
delivered to the Trustee at or prior to the delivery of the Company Order
contemplated by Section 303 for the authentication and delivery of such
Securities (or any such temporary global Security) or coupons.

               Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, Bearer
Securities other than Bearer Securities in temporary or permanent global form
shall have interest coupons attached.

               The definitive Securities and coupons, if any, shall be printed,
lithographed or engraved on steel engraved borders or may be produced in any
other manner, all as determined by the officers executing such Securities, as
evidenced by their execution of such Securities or coupons.

Section 202.   Form of Trustee's Certificate of Authentication.

               The Trustee's certificate of authentication shall be in
substantially the following form:

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

                                            [NAME OF TRUSTEE], as Trustee

Section 203.   Securities in Global Form.

               If Securities of a series are issuable in global form, as
specified by Section 301, then, notwithstanding clause (10) of Section 301 and
the provisions of Section 302, any such Security shall represent such of the
Outstanding Securities of such series as shall be specified therein and may
provide that it shall represent the aggregate amount of Outstanding Securities
from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate amount of Outstanding
Securities represented thereby may from time to time be reduced to reflect
exchanges. Any endorsement of a Security in global form to reflect the amount,
or any increase or decrease in the amount, of Outstanding Securities represented
thereby shall be made by the Trustee in such manner and upon instructions given
by such Person or Persons as shall be specified therein or in the Company Order
to be delivered to the Trustee pursuant to Section 303 or Section 304. Subject
to the provisions of Section 303 and, if applicable, Section 304, the Trustee
shall deliver and redeliver any Security in global form in the manner and upon
instructions given by the Person or Persons specified therein or in the
applicable Company Order. If a Company Order pursuant to Section 303 or Section
304 has been, or simultaneously is, delivered, any instructions by the Company
with respect to endorsement or delivery or redelivery of a Security in global
form shall be in writing but need not comply with Section 102 and need not be
accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel.

               The provisions of the last sentence of Section 303 shall apply to
any Security represented by a Security in global form if such Security was never
issued and sold by the Company and the Company delivers to the Trustee the
Security in global form together with written instructions (which need not
comply with Section 102 and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel)
with regard to the reduction in the principal amount of Securities represented
thereby, together with the written statement contemplated by the last sentence
of Section 303.

               Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 307, unless otherwise
specified as contemplated by Section 301, payment of principal of and any
premium and interest on any Security in permanent global form shall be made to
the Holder thereof.

               Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 308 and except as
provided in the preceding paragraph, unless otherwise specified as contemplated
by Section 301, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company and the
Trustee shall treat a Person as the Holder of such principal amount of
Outstanding Securities represented by a permanent global Security as shall be
specified in a written statement of the Holder of such permanent global Security
which is produced to the Trustee by such Holder.

                                   ARTICLE III

                                 The Securities

authenticated and delivered under this Indenture is unlimited.

        Securities of the series pursuant to Section 304, 305, 306, 906, 1107 or
        1603 and except for any Securities which, pursuant to Section 303, are
        deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder);

               (3) whether Securities of the series are to be issuable as
        Registered Securities, Bearer Securities or both, whether Securities of
        the series are to be issuable with or without coupons or both, whether

        which, or the manner in which, any interest payable on a global Security
        will be paid in any case if other than in the manner provided in this
        Article Three or Section 1002;

               (5) the date or dates on which the principal of the Securities of
        the series is payable;

        rates shall be determined, the date or dates from which any such
        interest shall accrue, the Interest Payment Dates on which any such
        interest shall be payable and the Regular Record Date for any interest

        the series may be surrendered for registration of transfer, Securities
        of the series may be surrendered for exchange, notices and demands

        and/or repaid in whole or in part, at the option of the Holders;

               (9) the obligation, if any, of the Company to redeem or purchase
        Securities of the series pursuant to any sinking fund or analogous
        provisions or at the option of a Holder thereof and the period or
        periods within which, the price or prices at which and the terms and
        conditions upon which Securities of the series shall be redeemed or
        purchased, in whole or in part, pursuant to such obligation;

               (10) the denominations in which any Registered Securities of the

        the United States of America and the agency or organization responsible
        for overseeing such composite currency and other terms and conditions
        with respect thereto;

               (12) if the principal of and any premium or interest on the
        Securities of the series are to be payable, at the election of the

        election is to be made;

               (13) if the amount of payments of principal of and any premium or
        interest on the Securities of the series may be determined with
        reference to an index, the manner in which such amounts shall be
        determined;

               (14) if other than the principal amount thereof, the portion of
        the principal amount of any Securities of the series which shall be
        payable upon declaration of acceleration of the Maturity thereof
        pursuant to Section 502;

               (15) if Section 1402 shall not apply to the Securities of the

        than the Trustee, the Person who shall be the initial Paying Agent and
        the Person who shall be the initial Common Depositary or the depositary,
        as the case may be, and any provisions for the appointment of a

                                       17
<PAGE>   24

               (17) any other terms of the series (which terms shall not be
        inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture).

               All Securities of any one series, and the coupons appertaining to
any Bearer Securities of such series, shall be substantially identical except,
in the case of Registered Securities, as to denomination and except as may
otherwise be provided in or pursuant to the Board Resolution referred to above
and (subject to Section 303) set forth in the Officers' Certificate referred to
above or in any such indenture supplemental hereto.

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

Section 302.   Denominations.

               Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 301 with
respect to any series of Securities, any Registered Securities of a series shall
be issuable in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof and any
Bearer Securities of a series shall be issuable in the denomination of $5,000.

Section 303.   Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating.

               The Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its
Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, President or a Vice President,
under its corporate seal reproduced thereon attested by its Secretary or an
Assistant Secretary. The signature of any of these officers on the Securities
may be manual or facsimile. Coupons shall bear the facsimile signature of the
Treasurer or any Assistant Treasurer of the Company.

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

                At any time and from time to time after the execution and
delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities of any series,
together with any coupons appertaining thereto, executed by the Company to the
Trustee for authentication, together with a Company Order for the authentication
and delivery of such Securities, and the Trustee in accordance with the Company
Order shall authenticate and deliver such Securities; provided, however, that,
in connection with its original issuance, no Bearer Security shall be mailed or
otherwise delivered to any location in the United States; and provided, further,
that, a Bearer Security other than a temporary global Bearer Security may be
delivered in connection with its original issuance only if the Company or its
agent shall have received the certification required pursuant to Section 304
relating to the exchange of the temporary global Security for definitive Bearer
Securities, unless the certification shall have been provided earlier pursuant
to Section 304 relating to the payment of interest, and only if the Company has
no reason to know that the certification is false. Except as permitted by
Section 306, the Trustee shall not authenticate and

                                       18
<PAGE>   25

deliver any Bearer Security unless all appurtenant coupons for interest then
matured have been detached and cancelled.

               If the forms or terms of the Securities of the series and any
related coupons have been established in or pursuant to one or more Board
Resolutions as permitted by Sections 201 and 301, in authenticating such
Securities, and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture
in relation to such Securities, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and
(subject to Section 601) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of
Counsel stating:

               (a) if the forms of such Securities and any coupons have been
established by or pursuant to Board Resolution as permitted by Section 201, that
such forms have been established in conformity with the provisions of this
Indenture;

               (b) if the terms of such Securities and any coupons have been
established by or pursuant to Board Resolution as permitted by Section 301, that
such terms have been established in conformity with the provisions of this
Indenture; and

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

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

               Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 301 and of the
preceding paragraph, if all Securities of a series are not to be originally
issued at one time, it shall not be necessary to deliver the Officers'
Certificate otherwise required pursuant to Section 301 or the Company Order and
Opinion of Counsel otherwise required pursuant to such preceding paragraph at or
prior to the time of authentication of each Security of such series if such
documents are delivered at or prior to the authentication upon original issuance
of the first Security of such series.

               Each Registered Security shall be dated the date of its
authentication; and each Bearer Security shall be dated as of the date of
original issuance of the first Security of such series to be issued.

                No Security or coupon shall be entitled to any benefit under
this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on
such Security a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided
for herein executed by the Trustee by manual signature, and such certificate
upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such
Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if any Security shall have been duly authenticated and delivered
hereunder but never issued and sold by the Company, and the Company shall
deliver such Security to the Trustee for cancellation as provided in Section 309
together with a written

                                       19
<PAGE>   26

statement (which need not comply with Section 102 and need not be accompanied by
an Opinion of Counsel) stating that such Security has never been issued and sold
by the Company, for all purposes of this Indenture such Security shall be deemed
never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall never be
entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.

Section 304.   Temporary Securities; Exchange of Temporary Securities.

               Pending the preparation of definitive Securities of any series,
the Company may execute, and upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate
and deliver, temporary Securities which are printed, lithographed, typewritten,
mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination,
substantially of the tenor of the definitive Securities in lieu of which they
are issued, in registered form or, if authorized, in bearer form with one or
more coupons or without coupons, and with such appropriate insertions,
omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers executing such
Securities may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Securities. In
the case of any series issuable as Bearer Securities, such temporary Securities
may be in global form.

               Except in the case of temporary Securities in global form (which
shall be exchanged in accordance with the provisions of the following
paragraphs), if temporary Securities of any series are issued, the Company will
cause definitive Securities of that series to be prepared without unreasonable
delay. After the preparation of definitive Securities of such series, the
temporary Securities of such series shall be exchangeable for definitive
Securities of such series upon surrender of the temporary Securities of such
series at the office or agency of the Company maintained pursuant to Section
1002 in a Place of Payment for such series for the purpose of exchanges of
Securities of such series, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for
cancellation of any one or more temporary Securities of any series (accompanied
by any unmatured coupons appertaining thereto) the Company shall execute and the
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like aggregate
principal amount of definitive Securities of the same series and of like tenor
of authorized denominations; provided, however, that no definitive Bearer
Security shall be delivered in exchange for a temporary Registered Security; and
provided, further, that a definitive Bearer Security shall be delivered in
exchange for a temporary Bearer Security only in compliance with the conditions
pertaining to the original issuance of Bearer Securities set forth in Section
303.

               Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, if
temporary Securities of any series are issued in global form, any such temporary
global Security shall be delivered to the office of a depositary or common
depositary chosen by Euroclear and Clearstream (the "Common Depositary"), for
the benefit of Euroclear and Clearstream for credit to the respective accounts
of the beneficial owners of such Securities (or to such other accounts as they
may direct).

               Without unnecessary delay but in any event not later than the
date specified in, or determined pursuant to the terms of, any such temporary
global Security (the "Global Exchange Date"), the Company shall deliver to the
Trustee Securities, in aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount
of such temporary global Security, executed by the Company. On or after the
Global Exchange Date such temporary global Security shall be surrendered by the
Common Depositary to the Trustee, as the Company's agent for such purpose, to be
exchanged,

                                       20
<PAGE>   27

in whole or from time to time in part, for Securities, without charge and the
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for each portion of such
temporary global Security, an equal aggregate principal amount of Securities of
the same series of authorized denominations and of like tenor as the portion of
such temporary global Security to be exchanged. The Securities to be delivered
in exchange for any such temporary global Security shall be definitive Bearer
Securities, definitive Registered Securities or all or a portion of a permanent
global Security or any combination thereof, as specified as contemplated by
Section 301, and, if any combination thereof is so specified, as requested by
the beneficial owner thereof; provided, however, that, in the case of the
exchange of the temporary global Security for definitive Bearer Securities
(including a permanent global Bearer Security), upon such presentation by the
Common Depositary, such temporary global Security shall be accompanied by a
certificate dated not earlier than the Global Exchange Date and signed by
Euroclear as to the portion of such temporary global Security held for its
account then to be exchanged and a certificate dated not earlier than the Global
Exchange Date and signed by Clearstream as to the portion of such temporary
global Security held for its account then to be exchanged, each in the form set
forth in Exhibit A.3 to this Indenture, unless the certificate(s) shall have
been provided earlier pursuant to this Section 304 relating to the payment of
interest, and provided, further, that definitive Bearer Securities (including a
permanent global Bearer Security) shall be delivered in exchange for a portion
of a temporary global Security only in compliance with the requirements of
Section 303 pertaining to the original issuance of Bearer Securities.

               The interest of a beneficial owner of Securities of a series in a
temporary global Security shall be exchanged for definitive Securities or an
interest in a permanent global Security of the same series and of like tenor on
or after the Global Exchange Date when the account holder instructs Euroclear or
Clearstream, as the case may be, to request such exchange on his behalf and in
the case of the exchange of the temporary global Security for definitive Bearer
Securities (including a permanent global Bearer Security), unless the
certificate(s) shall have been provided earlier pursuant to this Section 304
relating to the payment of interest, the account holder shall deliver to
Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, a certificate in the form set
forth in Exhibit A.1 and, if applicable, Exhibit A.2 to this Indenture, dated no
earlier than 15 days prior to the Global Exchange Date, copies of which
certificate shall be available from the offices of Euroclear and Clearstream,
the Trustee, any Authenticating Agent appointed for such series of Securities
and each Paying Agent. Unless otherwise specified in such temporary global
Security, any such exchange shall be made free of charge to the beneficial
owners of such temporary global Security, except that a Person receiving
definitive Securities must bear the cost of insurance, postage, transportation
and the like in the event that such Person does not take delivery of such
definitive Securities in person at the offices of Euroclear or Clearstream.
Definitive Securities in bearer form to be delivered in exchange for any portion
of a temporary global Security shall be delivered only outside the United
States.

               Until exchanged in full as hereinabove provided, the temporary
Securities of any series shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits
under this Indenture as definitive Securities of the same series and of like
tenor authenticated and delivered hereunder, except that interest payable on a
temporary global Security shall be payable to Euroclear and Clearstream on any
Interest Payment Date only if there has been delivered by Euroclear and
Clearstream to the Trustee a certificate or certificates in the form set forth
in Exhibit A.3 to this Indenture dated no earlier than the first Interest
Payment Date, and only if the Company has no reason to know that

                                       21
<PAGE>   28

the certification is false for credit without further interest on or after such
Interest Payment Date to the respective accounts of the Persons who are the
beneficial owners of such temporary global Security on such Interest Payment
Date and who have each delivered to Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may
be, a certificate in the form set forth in Exhibit A.1 and, if applicable,
Exhibit A.2 to this Indenture dated no earlier than 15 days prior to the first
Interest Payment Date.

Section 305.   Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange.

               The Company shall cause to be kept at an office or agency to be
maintained by the Company in accordance with Section 1002 a register (being the
combined register of the Security Registrar and all transfer agents designated
pursuant to Section 1002 for the purpose of registration of transfer of
Securities and sometimes collectively referred to as the "Security Register") in
which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company
shall provide for the registration of Registered Securities and the registration
of transfers of Registered Securities.

               Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Registered
Security of any series at the office or agency of the Company maintained
pursuant to Section 1002 for such purpose in a Place of Payment for such series,
the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in
the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Registered
Securities of the same series of any authorized denominations and of a like
aggregate principal amount and tenor.

               At the option of the Holder, Registered Securities of any series
may be exchanged for other Registered Securities of the same series in any
authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount and tenor,
upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged at any such office or agency.
Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall
execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities which
the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Bearer Securities may not
be issued in exchange for Registered Securities.

               At the option of the Holder, Registered Securities of any series
may be issued in exchange for Bearer Securities of the same series in any
authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount and tenor,
upon surrender of the Bearer Securities to be exchanged at any such office or
agency, with all unmatured coupons and all matured coupons in default thereto
appertaining. If the Holder of a Bearer Security is unable to produce any such
unmatured coupon or coupons or matured coupon or coupons in default, such
exchange may be effected if the Bearer Securities are accompanied by payment in
funds acceptable to the Company in an amount equal to the face amount of such
missing coupon or coupons, or the surrender of such missing coupon or coupons
may be waived by the Company and the Trustee if there is furnished to them such
security or indemnity as they may require to save each of them and any Paying
Agent harmless. If thereafter the Holder of such Security shall surrender to any
Paying Agent any such missing coupon in respect of which such a payment shall
have been made, such Holder shall be entitled to receive the amount of such
payment; provided, however, that, except as otherwise provided in Section 1002,
interest represented by coupons shall be payable only upon presentation and
surrender of those coupons at an office or agency located outside the United

                                       22

States. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in case a Bearer Security of any series
is surrendered at any such office or agency in exchange for a Registered
Security of the same series and like tenor after the close of business at such
office or agency on (i) any Regular Record Date and before the opening of
business at such office or agency on the relevant Interest Payment Date, or (ii)
any Special Record Date and before the opening of business at such office or
agency on the related proposed date for payment of Defaulted Interest, such
Bearer Security shall be surrendered without the coupon relating to such
Interest Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as the case may be, and
interest or Defaulted Interest, as the case may be, will not be payable on such
Interest Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as the case may be, in
respect of the Registered Security issued in exchange for such Bearer Security,
but will be payable only to the Holder of such coupon when due in accordance
with the provisions of this Indenture.

               Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the
Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the
Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

               Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as otherwise specified as
contemplated by Section 301, any permanent global Security shall be exchangeable
only as provided in this paragraph. In the case of permanent global Bearer
Securities and in the case of permanent global Registered Securities if the
beneficial owners of interests in a permanent global Registered Security are
entitled to exchange such interests for Securities of such series and of like
tenor and principal amount of another authorized form and denomination, as
specified as contemplated by Section 301, then without unnecessary delay but in
any event not later than the earliest date on which such interests may be so
exchanged, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee definitive Securities in
aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such permanent
global Security, executed by the Company. On or after the earliest date on which
such interests may be so exchanged, such permanent global Security shall be
surrendered by the depositary with respect thereto to the Trustee, as the
Company's agent for such purpose, to be exchanged, in whole or from time to time
in part, for definitive Securities without charge and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver, in exchange for each portion of such permanent global
Security, an equal aggregate principal amount of definitive Securities of the
same series of authorized denominations and of like tenor as the portion of such
permanent global Security to be exchanged which in the case of a permanent
global Bearer Security, unless the Securities of the series are not issuable
both as Bearer Securities and as Registered Securities, as specified as
contemplated by Section 301, shall be in the form of Bearer Securities or
Registered Securities, or any combination thereof, as shall be specified by the
beneficial owner thereof; provided, however, that no such exchanges may occur
during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before any
selection of Securities of that series to be redeemed and ending on the relevant
Redemption Date; and provided, further, that no definitive Bearer Security shall
be mailed or otherwise delivered to any location in the United States. If a
Registered Security is issued in exchange for any portion of a permanent global
Security after the close of business at the office or agency where such exchange
occurs on (i) any Regular Record Date and before the opening of business at such
office or agency on the relevant Interest Payment Date, or (ii) any Special
Record Date and the opening of business at such office or agency on the related
proposed date for payment of Defaulted Interest, interest or Defaulted Interest,
as the case may be, will not be payable on such Interest Payment Date or
proposed date for payment, as the case may be, in respect of such Registered
Security, but will be payable on such Interest Payment Date or

                                       23
<PAGE>   30

proposed date for payment as the case may be, only to the Person to whom
interest in respect of such portion of such permanent global Security is payable
in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.

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

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

               No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer
or exchange of Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in
connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, other
than exchanges pursuant to Section 304, 906, 1107 or 1604 not involving any
transfer.

               The Company shall not be required to (i) issue, register the
transfer of or exchange Securities of any series during a period beginning at
the opening of business 15 days before (A) if Securities of the series are
issuable only as Registered Securities, the day of the mailing of the relevant
notice of redemption and ending at the close of business on the day for such
mailing and (B) if Securities of the series are issuable as either Bearer
Securities or Registered Securities, the earlier of the day of the first
publication of the relevant notice of redemption or the mailing of the relevant
notice of redemption and ending at the close of business on such earlier day, or
(ii) register the transfer of or exchange any Registered Security so selected
for redemption, in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any
Registered Security being redeemed in part, or (iii) exchange any Bearer
Security so selected for redemption except that such a Bearer Security may be
exchanged for a Registered Security or coupon, as the case may be, of the same
series and like tenor, provided that such Registered Security shall be
simultaneously surrendered for redemption.

Section 306.   Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities and Coupons.

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

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

                                       24
<PAGE>   31

coupon has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and
upon its request the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such
destroyed, lost or stolen Security or in exchange for the Security to which a
destroyed, lost or stolen coupon appertains (with all appurtenant coupons not
destroyed, lost or stolen), a new Security of the same series and of like tenor
and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding,
with coupons corresponding to the coupons, if any, appertaining to such
destroyed, lost or stolen Security or to the Security to which such destroyed,
lost or stolen coupon appertains.

               In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security or
coupon has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its
discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay such Security or coupon;
provided, however, that principal of and any premium and interest on Bearer
Securities shall, except as otherwise provided in Section 1002, be payable only
at an office or agency located outside the United States and unless otherwise
specified as contemplated by Section 301, any interest on Bearer Securities
shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of the coupons
appertaining thereto.

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

               Every new Security of any series, with its coupons, if any,
issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen
Security, or in exchange for a Security to which a destroyed, lost or stolen
coupon appertains, shall constitute an original additional contractual
obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security
and its coupons, if any, or the destroyed, lost or stolen coupon shall be at any
time enforceable by anyone, and any such new Security and coupons, if any, shall
be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately
with any and all other Securities of that series and of like tenor and their
coupons, if any, duly issued hereunder.

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

Section 307.   Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved.

               Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 301 with
respect to any series of Securities, interest on any Registered Security which
is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment
Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Security (or one or more
Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular
Record Date for such interest. Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by
Section 301 with respect to any series of Securities, at the option of the
Company, payment of interest on any Registered Security may be made by check
mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall
appear in the Security Register or by wire transfer to an account designated by
such Person pursuant to an arrangement that is satisfactory to the Trustee and
the Company. In the event that payments shall be made by wire transfer, the
Company shall arrange

                                       25
<PAGE>   32

by 10:00 a.m. New York time on the Interest Payment Date for the wire transfer
of money in immediately available funds to the Trustee or Paying Agent. The
Trustee shall not be responsible or held liable for any loss resulting from a
failure of the federal funds wire system or any other occurrence beyond its
control in connection with wire transfers made pursuant to this Section.

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

               (1) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted
        Interest to the Persons in whose names the Registered Securities of such
        series (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at
        the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such
        Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The
        Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted
        Interest proposed to be paid on each Registered Security of such series
        and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company
        shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate
        amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or
        shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit
        prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to
        be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such
        Defaulted Interest as in this Clause provided. At the same time the
        Company shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such
        Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 days and not less
        than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than
        10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed
        payment. Upon receipt of written notice of such Special Record Date from
        the Company the Trustee, in the name and at the expense of the Company,
        shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest
        and the Special Record Date therefor to be mailed, first-class postage
        prepaid, to each Holder of Registered Securities of such series at the
        address of such Holder as it appears in the Security Register, not less
        than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed
        payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor
        having been so mailed, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the
        Persons in whose names the Registered Securities of such series (or
        their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of
        business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable
        pursuant to the following Clause (2).

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

               Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section and Section
305, each Security delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer
of or in exchange for or in lieu of any

                                       26
<PAGE>   33

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

Section 308.   Persons Deemed Owners.

               Prior to due presentment of a Registered Security for
registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company
or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name such Registered Security is
registered as the owner of such Registered Security for the purpose of receiving
payment of principal of and any premium and (subject to Sections 305 and 307)
any interest on such Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or
not such Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent
of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

               Title to any Bearer Security and any coupons appertaining thereto
shall pass by delivery. The Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or
the Trustee may treat the bearer of any Bearer Security and the bearer of any
coupon as the absolute owner of such Security or coupon for the purpose of
receiving payment thereof or on account thereof and for all other purposes
whatsoever, whether or not such Security or coupon be overdue, and neither the
Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be
affected by notice to the contrary.

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

Section 309.   Cancellation.

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

Section 310.   Computation of Interest.

               Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for
Securities of any series, interest on the Securities of each series shall be
computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

effect (except as to any surviving rights of registration of transfer or
exchange of Securities herein expressly provided for, and any right to receive
additional amounts, as provided in Section 1005), and the Trustee, at the
expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging

        Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions
        precedent herein provided for relating to the satisfaction and discharge
        of this Indenture have been complied with.

Securities of any series, means unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section

Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by
operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or
any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body):

        Securities of that series a written notice specifying such default or

        or instrument under which there may be issued, or by which there may be
        secured or evidenced, any indebtedness of the Company, World FSB, World
        SSB or World S&L for money borrowed, whether such indebtedness now
        exists or shall hereafter be created, shall happen and shall result in
        such indebtedness in principal amount in excess of $10,000,000 becoming
        or being declared due and payable prior to the date on which it would
        otherwise become due and payable, and such acceleration shall not be
        rescinded or annulled within a period of 30 days after there shall have

        series, a written notice specifying such event of default and requiring
        the Company to cause such acceleration to be rescinded or annulled and
        stating that such notice is a "Notice of Default" hereunder; or

               (6) the entry of a decree or order for relief in respect of the

        case under the federal bankruptcy laws, as now or hereafter constituted,
        or any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other
        similar law, or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee,
        custodian or sequestrator (or other similar official) of the Company or
        substantially all of its assets (other than appointment of a conservator
        with respect to any depository institution Subsidiary of the Company
        insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any successor
        agency), or ordering the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, and
        the continuance of any such decree or order unstayed and in effect for a
        period of 60 consecutive days; or

               (7) the commencement by the Company of a voluntary case under the
        federal bankruptcy laws, as now or hereafter constituted, or any other
        applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, or
        the consent by the Company to the appointment of or taking possession by
        a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian or sequestrator (or
        other similar official) of the Company or substantially all of its
        assets (other than appointment of a conservator with respect to any
        depository institution Subsidiary of the Company insured by the Federal
        Deposit Insurance Corporation or any successor agency), or the making by
        it of any assignment for the benefit of creditors.

Section 502.   Acceleration of Maturity, Rescission and Annulment.

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

                                       30
<PAGE>   37

accrued but unpaid interest on all of the Securities of that series to be due
and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the
Trustee if given by Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal
amount (or specified amount) and interest shall become immediately due and
payable. Upon payment of such amount, all obligations of the Company in respect
of payment of the principal of and interest on the Securities of that series,
shall terminate.

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

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

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

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

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

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

               (2) all Events of Default with respect to Securities of that
        series, other than the non-payment of the principal of Securities of
        that series which have become due solely by such declaration of
        acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 513.

               No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair
any right consequent thereon.

Section 503.   Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee.

               The Company covenants that if

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

               (2) default is made in the payment of the principal of, or any
        premium on, any Security at the Maturity thereof; or

                                       31
<PAGE>   38

               (3) default is made in the deposit of any sinking fund payment,
        when and as due by the terms of a Security of such series;

the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the
Holders of such Securities and coupons, the whole amount then due and payable on
such Securities and coupons for principal and any premium, sinking fund
installment and interest, and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall
be legally enforceable, interest on any overdue principal and premium, sinking
fund installment and on any overdue interest, computed from the date of default
in the payment of such interest, at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in
such Securities and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be
sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the
reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee,
its agents and counsel.

               If the Company fails to pay such amounts, the Trustee, in its own
name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for
the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, may prosecute such proceeding to
judgment or final decree and may enforce the same against the Company or any
other obligor upon such Securities and coupons and collect the moneys adjudged
or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of
the Company or any other obligor upon such Securities and coupons, wherever
situated.

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

Section 504.   Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

               In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency,
liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or
other judicial proceedings or any voluntary or involuntary case under the
federal bankruptcy laws, as now or hereafter constituted, relative to the
Company or any other obligor upon the Securities of any series or any related
coupons or the property of the Company or of such other obligor or their
creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of the Securities
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 on
the Company for the payment of any overdue principal or interest) shall be
entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise,

               (i) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal
        and any premium and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the
        Securities of such series and any related coupons and to file such other
        papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have
        the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable
        compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its
        agents and counsel) and of the Holders of Securities and coupons allowed
        in such judicial proceeding, and

                                       32
<PAGE>   39

               (ii) to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable
        or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, custodian, sequestrator or
other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by
each Holder of Securities and coupons to make such payments to the Trustee and,
in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments
directly to the Holders of Securities and coupons, to pay to the Trustee any
amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and
advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the
Trustee under Section 607.

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

Section 505.   Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Securities or
               Coupons.

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

Section 506.   Application of Money or Property Collected.

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

               First: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee under
        Section 607;

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

               Third: To the payment of the remainder, if any, to the Company or
        any other Person lawfully entitled thereto.

               In any case where Securities are Outstanding which are
denominated in more than one currency, or in a composite currency and at least
one other currency, and the Trustee is

                                       33
<PAGE>   40

directed to make ratable payments under this Section to Holders of such
Securities, the Trustee shall (to the fullest extent permitted by law) calculate
the amount of such payments as follows: (i) as of the day the Trustee collects
an amount under this Article, the Trustee shall, as to each Holder of a Security
to whom an amount is due and payable under this Section which is denominated in
a foreign currency or a composite currency, determine that amount of U.S.
Dollars that would be obtained for the amount owing such Holder, using the rate
of exchange at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Trustee
could purchase in The City of New York U.S. Dollars with such amount owing; (ii)
calculate the sum of all U.S. Dollar amounts determined under (i) and add
thereto any amounts due and payable in U.S. Dollars; and (iii) using the
individual amounts determined in (i) or any individual amounts due and payable
in U.S. Dollars, as the case may be, as a numerator and the sum calculated in
(ii) as a denominator, calculate as to each Holder of a Security to whom an
amount is owed under this Section the fraction of the amount collected under
this Article payable to such Holder. Any expenses incurred by the Trustee in
actually converting amounts owing Holders of Securities denominated in a
currency or composite currency other than that in which any amount is collected
under this Article shall be likewise (in accordance with this paragraph) borne
ratably by all Holders of Securities to whom amounts are payable under this
Section.

               To the fullest extent allowed under applicable law, if for the
purpose of obtaining judgment against the Company in any court it is necessary
to convert the sum due in respect of the principal of, or any premium or
interest on the Securities of any series (the "Required Currency") into a
currency in which a judgment will be rendered (the "Judgment Currency"), the
rate of exchange used shall be the rate at which in accordance with normal
banking procedures the Trustee could purchase in The City of New York the
Required Currency with the Judgment Currency on the New York Business Day
preceding that on which final judgment is given. The Company shall not be liable
for any shortfall nor shall it benefit from any windfall in payments to Holders
of Securities under this Section caused by a change in exchange rates between
the time the amount of a judgment against it is calculated as above and the time
the Trustee converts the Judgment Currency into the Required Currency to make
payments under this Section to Holders of Securities, but payment of such
judgment shall discharge all amounts owed by the Company on the claim or claims
underlying such judgment.

Section 507.   Limitation on Suits.

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

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

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

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

                                       34
<PAGE>   41

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

               (5) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been
        given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a
        majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that
        series;

it being understood and intended that no one or more of such Holders shall have
any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision
of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other of
such Holders, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any
other of such Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in
the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all of such
Holders.

Section 508.   Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal, Premium and
               Interest .

               Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder
of any Security or coupon shall have the right, which is absolute and
unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and any premium and
(subject to Sections 305 and 307) any interest on such Security or payment of
such coupon on the Stated Maturity or Maturities expressed in such Security or
coupon (or, in the case of redemption or repayment, on the Redemption Date or
the Repayment Date, as the case may be) and to institute suit for the
enforcement of any such payment, and such rights shall not be impaired without
the consent of such Holder.

Section 509.   Restoration of Rights and Remedies.

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

Section 510.   Rights and Remedies Cumulative.

               Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or
payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities or coupons in the
last paragraph of Section 306, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or
reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders of Securities or coupons is intended
to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall,
to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other
right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in
equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy
hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or
employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

Section 511.   Delay or Omission Not Waiver.

               No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any
Security or coupon to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Default
shall impair any such right or remedy or

                                       35
<PAGE>   42

constitute a waiver of any such Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right
and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders of
Securities or coupons may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be
deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders of Securities or coupons, as
the case may be.

Section 512.   Control by Holders of Securities.

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

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

               (2) subject to the provisions of Section 601, the Trustee shall
        have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee in
        good faith shall, by a Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers of
        the Trustee, determine that the proceeding so directed would be unjustly
        prejudicial to the Holders of Securities of such series not joining in
        any such direction, and

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

Section 513.   Waiver of Past Defaults.

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

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

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

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

Section 514.   Undertaking for Costs.

               All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any
Security or coupon by his acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed,
that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of
any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for
any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any

                                       36
<PAGE>   43

party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and
that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including
reasonable attorneys' fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due
regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party
litigant; but the provisions of this Section shall not apply to any suit
instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder or group of
Holders holding in the aggregate more than 10% in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of any series, or to any suit instituted by any Holder of
any Security or coupon for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of or
any premium or interest on any Security or the payment of any coupon on or after
the Stated Maturity or Maturities expressed in such Security or coupon (or, in
the case of redemption or repayment, on or after the Redemption Date or
Repayment Date, as the case may be).

Section 515.   Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws.

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

                                   ARTICLE VI

                                   The Trustee

Section 601.   Certain Duties and Responsibilities.

               (a) Except during the continuance of a Default,

               (1) the Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such
        duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied
        covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the
        Trustee; and

               (2) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may
        conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness
        of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions
        furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this
        Indenture; but in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by
        any provision 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 but need not confirm the accuracy of the information contained
        therein.

               (b) In case a Default has occurred and is continuing, 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.

                                       37
<PAGE>   44

               (c) 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 wilful misconduct, except that

               (1) this Subsection shall not be construed to limit the effect of
        Subsection (a) of this Section;

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

               (3) 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 a majority in principal amount of the
        Outstanding Securities of any series 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 with respect to the Securities of such series; and

               (4) no provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to
        expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability
        in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of
        any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for
        believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against
        such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

               (d) Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision
of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or
affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this
Section.

Section 602.   Notice of Defaults.

                Within 90 days after the occurrence of any default hereunder
with respect to the Securities of any series the Trustee shall transmit to all
Holders of Securities of such series in the manner and to the extent provided in
Section 703(c), notice of such default hereunder known to the Trustee, unless
such default shall have been cured or waived; provided, however, that, except in
the case of a default in the payment of the principal of or any premium or
interest on any Security of such series or in the payment of any sinking fund
installment with respect to Securities of such series, the Trustee shall be
protected in withholding such notice if and so long as the board of directors,
the executive committee or a trust committee of directors or Responsible
Officers of the Trustee in good faith determines that the withholding of such
notice is in the interest of the Holders of Securities of such series. For the
purpose of this Section, the term "default" means any event which is, or after
notice or lapse of time or both would become, a Default with respect to
Securities of such series.

Section 603.   Certain Rights of Trustee.

               Subject to the provisions of Section 601:

                                       38
<PAGE>   45

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

               (b) any request or direction of the Company mentioned herein
shall be sufficiently evidenced by a Company Request or Company Order or as
otherwise expressly provided herein and any resolution of the Board of Directors
may be sufficiently evidenced by a Board Resolution;

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

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

               (e) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of
the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or direction

pursuant to this Indenture, unless such Holders shall have offered to the
Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and
liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or
direction;

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

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

               (h) the Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken or

authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by
this Indenture; and

               (i) in no event shall the Trustee be liable for the selection of
investments or for investment losses incurred thereon; the Trustee shall have no
liability in respect of losses incurred as a result of the liquidation of any
such investment prior to its stated maturity or the failure of the party

hereunder in the absence of such written investment directions.

In the event that the Trustee is also acting as Paying Agent, Security
Registrar, Exchange Agent or transfer agent hereunder, the rights and
protections afforded to the Trustee pursuant to this Article Six shall also be

agent.

Section 604.   Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Securities.

               The recitals contained herein and in the Securities (except the
Trustee's certificates of authentication) and in any coupons shall be taken as
the statements of the Company, and the Trustee or any Authenticating Agent
assumes no responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no
representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the
Securities or coupons. The Trustee or any Authenticating Agent shall not be (i)
accountable for the use or application by the Company of Securities or the
proceeds thereof, (ii) accountable for any money paid to the Company, or upon
the Company's direction, if made under and in accordance with any provision of
this Indenture or (iii) responsible for the use or application of any money
received by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee.

Section 605.   May Hold Securities.

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

Section 606.   Money Held in Trust.

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

Section 607.   Compensation and Reimbursement.

               The Company agrees

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

               (2) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to reimburse
        the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements
        and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any
        provision of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and
        the expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel),

                                       40
<PAGE>   47

        except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may be attributable
        to its negligence or bad faith; and

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

               The foregoing provisions shall survive any resignation or removal
of the Trustee.

               As security for the performance of the obligations of the Company
under this Section the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Securities 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 Securities. Such lien
shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture and, to the
extent permitted by law, any rejection or termination of this Indenture under
any federal or state bankruptcy law.

               To the fullest extent permitted by law, when the Trustee incurs
reasonable expenses or renders services in connection with an Event of Default
specified in Section 501(6) or (7), the Holders of the Securities of any series,
by their acceptance of such Securities, agree that such reasonable expenses and
the compensation for such services are intended to constitute expenses of
administration under any applicable bankruptcy law.

Section 608.   Disqualification; Conflicting Interests.

               (a) If the Trustee has or shall acquire any conflicting interest,
as defined in this Section, with respect to the Securities of any series then,
within 90 days after ascertaining that it has such conflicting interest, and if
the Default, but exclusive of any period of grace or requirement of notice, to
which such conflicting interest relates has not been cured or duly waived or
otherwise eliminated before the end of such 90-day period, the Trustee shall
either eliminate such conflicting interest or, except as otherwise provided
below in this Section, resign with respect to the Securities of that series in
the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article and the
Company shall take prompt steps to have a successor appointed in the manner
provided herein.

               (b) (1) If the Trustee shall fail to comply with the provisions
of Subsection (a) of this Section with respect to the Securities of any series,
the Trustee shall, within 10 days after the expiration of such 90-day period,
transmit, in the manner and to the extent provided in Section 703(c), to all
Holders of Securities of that series notice of such failure.

                      (2) Subject to the provisions of Section 514, unless the
Trustee's duty to resign is stayed as provided in Subsection (f) of this
Section, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of Securities of any series
referred to in Subsection (a) of this Section 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 such Trustee, and the appointment of a
successor, if

                                       41
<PAGE>   48

such Trustee fails, after written request thereof by such Holder to comply with
the provisions of Subsection (a) of this Section.

               (c) For the purposes of this Section, the Trustee shall be deemed
to have a conflicting interest with respect to the Securities of any series if a
Default, but exclusive of any period of grace or any requirement of notice, has
occurred with respect to the Securities of that series and

               (1) the Trustee is trustee under this Indenture with respect to
        the Outstanding Securities of any series other than that series or is
        trustee under another indenture under which any other securities, or
        certificates of interest or participation in any other securities, of
        the Company are outstanding, unless such other indenture is a collateral
        trust indenture under which the only collateral consists of Securities
        issued under this Indenture, provided that there shall be excluded from
        the operation of this paragraph, (A) this Indenture with respect to the
        Securities of any series other than that series and (B) any other
        indenture or indentures under which other securities, or certificates of
        interest or participation in other securities, of the Company are
        outstanding and

                      (i) this Indenture and such other indenture or indentures
               (and all series of securities issuable thereunder) are wholly
               unsecured and rank equally and such other indenture or indentures
               are hereafter qualified under the Trust Indenture Act, unless the
               Commission shall have found and declared by order pursuant to
               Section 305(b) or Section 307(c) of the Trust Indenture Act that
               differences exist between the provisions of this Indenture with
               respect to Securities of that series and one or more other series
               or the provisions of such other indenture or indentures which are
               so likely to involve a material conflict of interest as to make
               it necessary in the public interest or for the protection of
               investors to disqualify the Trustee from acting as such under
               this Indenture with respect to the Securities of that series and
               such other series or under such other indenture or indentures, or

                      (ii) the Company shall have sustained the burden of
               proving, on application to the Commission and after opportunity
               for hearing thereon, that trusteeship under this Indenture with
               respect to the Securities of that series and such other series or
               such other indenture or indentures is not so likely to involve a
               material conflict of interest as to make it necessary in the
               public interest or for the protection of investors to disqualify
               the Trustee from acting as such under this Indenture with respect
               to the Securities of that series and such other series or under
               such other indenture or indentures;

               (2) the Trustee or any of its directors or executive officers is
        an underwriter for the Company;

               (3) the Trustee directly or indirectly controls or is directly or
        indirectly controlled by or is under direct or indirect common control
        with an underwriter for the Company;

                                       42
<PAGE>   49

               (4) the Trustee or any of its directors or executive officers is
        a director, officer, partner, employee, appointee or representative of
        the Company, or of an underwriter (other than the Trustee itself) for
        the Company who is currently engaged in the business of underwriting,
        except that (i) one individual may be a director or an executive
        officer, or both, of the Trustee and a director or an executive officer,
        or both, of the Company but may not be at the same time an executive
        officer of both the Trustee and the Company; (ii) if and so long as the
        number of directors of the Trustee in office is more than nine, one
        additional individual may be a director or an executive officer, or
        both, of the Trustee and a director of the Company; and (iii) the
        Trustee may be designated by the Company or by any underwriter for the
        Company to act in the capacity of transfer agent, registrar, custodian,
        paying agent, fiscal agent, escrow agent or depositary, or in any other
        similar capacity, or, subject to the provisions of paragraph (1) of this
        Subsection, to act as trustee, whether under an indenture or otherwise;

               (5) 10% or more of the voting securities of the Trustee is
        beneficially owned either by the Company or by any director, partner or
        executive officer thereof, or 20% or more of such voting securities is
        beneficially owned, collectively, by any two or more of such persons; or
        10% or more of the voting securities of the Trustee is beneficially
        owned either by an underwriter for the Company or by any director,
        partner or executive officer thereof, or is beneficially owned,
        collectively, by any two or more such persons;

               (6) the Trustee is the beneficial owner of, or holds as
        collateral security for an obligation which is in default (as
        hereinafter in this Subsection defined), (i) 5% or more of the voting
        securities, or 10% or more of any other class of security, of the
        Company not including the Securities issued under this Indenture and
        securities issued under any other indenture under which the Trustee is
        also trustee, or (ii) 10% or more of any class of security of an
        underwriter for the Company;

               (7) the Trustee is the beneficial owner of, or holds as
        collateral security for an obligation which is in default (as
        hereinafter in this Subsection defined), 5% or more of the voting
        securities of any person who, to the knowledge of the Trustee, owns 10%
        or more of the voting securities of, or controls directly or indirectly

               (8) the Trustee is the beneficial owner of, or holds as
        collateral security for an obligation which is in default (as
        hereinafter in this Subsection defined), 10% or more of any class of
        security of any person who, to the knowledge of the Trustee, owns 50% or
        more of the voting securities of the Company;

               (9) the Trustee owns, on the date any Default, but exclusive of
        any period of grace or requirement of notice, has occurred upon the
        Securities of any series or any anniversary of such default while such
        default upon such Securities remains outstanding, in the capacity of
        executor, administrator, testamentary or inter vivos trustee, guardian,
        committee or conservator, or in any other similar capacity, an aggregate
        of 25% or more of the voting securities, or of any class of security, of
        any person, the beneficial ownership of a specified percentage of which
        would have constituted a conflicting interest under paragraph (6), (7)
        or (8) of this Subsection. As to any such securities of

                                       43
<PAGE>   50

        which the Trustee acquired ownership through becoming executor,
        administrator or testamentary trustee of an estate which included them,
        the provisions of the preceding sentence shall not apply, for a period
        of not more than two years from the date of such acquisition, to the
        extent that such securities included in such estate do not exceed 25% of
        such voting securities or 25% of any such class of security. Promptly
        after the dates of any such default upon the Securities of any series
        and annually in each succeeding year that such default upon such
        Securities continues, the Trustee shall make a check of its holdings of
        such securities in any of the above-mentioned capacities as of such
        dates. If the Company fails to make payment in full of the principal of
        or any premium or interest on any of the Securities when and as the same
        becomes due and payable, and such failure continues for 30 days
        thereafter, the Trustee shall make a prompt check of its holdings of
        such securities in any of the above-mentioned capacities as of the date
        of the expiration of such 30-day period, and after such date,
        notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, all such
        securities so held by the Trustee, with sole or joint control over such
        securities vested in it, shall, but only so long as such failure shall
        continue, be considered as though beneficially owned by the Trustee for
        the purposes of paragraphs (6), (7) and (8) of this Subsection; or

               (10) except under the circumstances described in paragraphs (1),
        (3), (4), (5) or (6) of Section 613(b), the Trustee shall be or shall
        become a creditor of the Company.

               For purposes of paragraph (1) of this Subsection, and of Sections
512 and 513, the term "series" means a series, class or group of securities
issuable under an indenture or this Indenture pursuant to whose terms holders of
one such series may vote to direct the trustee, or otherwise take action
pursuant to a vote of such holders, separately from holders of another such
series; provided, that "series" shall not include any series of securities
issuable under an indenture (including any series of Securities issuable under
this Indenture) if all such series rank equally and are wholly unsecured.

               The specification of percentages in paragraphs (5) to (9),
inclusive, of this Subsection shall not be construed as indicating that the
ownership of such percentages of the securities of a person is or is not
necessary or sufficient to constitute direct or indirect control for the
purposes of paragraph (3) or (7) of this Subsection.

                For the purposes of paragraphs (6), (7), (8) and (9) of this
Subsection only, (i) the terms "security" and "securities" shall include only
such securities as are generally known as corporate securities, but shall not
include any note or other evidence of indebtedness issued to evidence an
obligation to repay moneys lent to a person by one or more banks, trust
companies or banking firms, or any certificate of interest or participation in
any such note or evidence of indebtedness; (ii) an obligation shall be deemed to
be "in default" when a default in payment of principal shall have continued for
30 days or more and shall not have been cured; and (iii) the Trustee shall not
be deemed to be the owner or holder of (A) any security which it holds as
collateral security, as trustee or otherwise, for an obligation which is not in
default as defined in clause (ii) above, or (B) any security which it holds as
collateral security under this Indenture, irrespective of any default hereunder,
or (C) any security which it holds as agent for collection, or as custodian,
escrow agent or depositary, or in any similar representative capacity.

               (d)    For the purposes of this Section:

               (1) The term "underwriter," when used with reference to the
        Company, means every person who, within one year prior to the time as of
        which the determination is made, has purchased from the Company with a
        view to, or has offered or sold for the Company in connection with, the
        distribution of any security of the Company outstanding at such time, or
        has participated or has had a direct or indirect participation in any
        such undertaking, or has participated or has had a participation in the
        direct or indirect underwriting of any such undertaking, but such term
        shall not include a person whose interest was limited to a commission
        from an underwriter or dealer not in excess of the usual and customary
        distributors' or sellers' commission.

               (2) The term "director" means any director of a corporation or

        beneficiaries are evidenced by a security.

               (4) The term "voting security" means any security presently
        entitling the owner or holder thereof to vote in the direction or
        management of the affairs of a person, or any security issued under or
        pursuant to any trust, agreement or arrangement whereby a trustee or
        trustees or agent or agents for the owner or holder of such security are
        presently entitled to vote in the direction or management of the affairs
        of a person.

               (5) The term "Company" means any obligor upon the Securities of

        treasurer of a corporation, and any individual customarily performing
        similar functions with respect to any organization whether incorporated
        or unincorporated, but shall not include the chairman of the board of
        directors.

               (e) The percentages of voting securities and other securities
specified in this Section shall be calculated in accordance with the following
provisions:

               (1) A specified percentage of the voting securities of the
        Trustee, the Company or any other person referred to in this Section
        (each of whom is referred to as a "person" in this paragraph) means such
        amount of the outstanding voting securities of such person as entitles
        the holder or holders thereof to cast such specified percentage of the
        aggregate votes which the holders of all the outstanding voting
        securities of such person are entitled to cast in the direction or
        management of the affairs of such person.

                                       45
<PAGE>   52

               (2) A specified percentage of a class of securities of a person
        means such percentage of the aggregate amount of securities of the class
        outstanding.

               (3) The term "amount," when used in regard to securities, means
        the principal amount if relating to evidences of indebtedness, the
        number of shares if relating to capital shares and the number of units
        if relating to any other kind of security.

               (4) The term "outstanding" means issued and not held by or for
        the account of the issuer. The following securities shall not be deemed
        outstanding within the meaning of this definition:

                      (i) securities of an issuer held in a sinking fund
               relating to securities of the issuer of the same class;

                      (ii) securities of an issuer held in a sinking fund
               relating to another class of securities of the issuer, if the
               obligation evidenced by such other class of securities is not in
               default as to principal or interest or otherwise;

                      (iii) securities pledged by the issuer thereof as security
               for an obligation of the issuer not in default as to principal or
               interest or otherwise; and

                      (iv) securities held in escrow if placed in escrow by the
               issuer thereof;

        provided, however, that any voting securities of an issuer shall be
        deemed outstanding if any person other than the issuer is entitled to
        exercise the voting rights thereof.

               (5) A security shall be deemed to be of the same class as another
        security if both securities confer upon the holder or holders thereof
        substantially the same rights and privileges; provided, however, that,
        in the case of secured evidences of indebtedness, all of which are
        issued under a single indenture, differences in the interest rates or
        maturity dates of various series thereof shall not be deemed sufficient
        to constitute such series different classes and provided, further, that,
        in the case of unsecured evidences of indebtedness, differences in the
        interest rates or maturity dates thereof shall not be deemed sufficient
        to constitute them securities of different classes, whether or not they
        are issued under a single indenture.

                (f) Except in the case of a default in the payment of the
principal of or interest on any Securities of any series, or in the payment of
any sinking or purchase fund installment, the Trustee shall not be required to
resign as provided by this Section if the Trustee shall have sustained the
burden of proving, on application to the Commission and after opportunity for
hearing thereon, that (i) the Default, but exclusive of any period of grace or
requirement of notice, may be cured or waived during a reasonable period and
under the procedures described in such application, and (ii) a stay of the
Trustee's duty to resign will not be inconsistent with the interests of Holders
of such Securities. The filing of such an application shall automatically stay
the performance of the duty to resign until the Commission orders otherwise.

               (g) If Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act is amended at
any time after the date of this Indenture to change the circumstances under
which a Trustee shall be deemed to

                                       46
<PAGE>   53

have a conflicting interest with respect to the Securities of any series or to
change any of the definitions in connection therewith, this Section 608 shall be
automatically amended to incorporate such changes, unless such changes would
cause any Trustee then acting as Trustee hereunder with respect to any
Outstanding Securities to be deemed to have a conflicting interest, in which
case such changes shall be incorporated herein only to the extent that such
changes (i) would not cause the Trustee to be deemed to have a conflicting
interest or (ii) are required by law.

Section 609.   Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility.

               There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder which shall be a
corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of
America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, authorized under such
laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus
of at least $5,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by Federal or
State authority; provided, however, that if Section 310(a) of the Trust
Indenture Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission under the Trust
Indenture Act at any time permit a corporation organized and doing business
under the laws of any other jurisdiction to serve as trustee of an indenture
qualified under the Trust Indenture Act, this Section 609 shall be automatically
amended to permit a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of
any such other jurisdiction to serve as Trustee hereunder, provided that such
corporation shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $5,000,000. If
such corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to
law or to the requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then for
the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such
corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth
in its most recent report of condition so published. Neither the Company nor any
person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under common control
with the Company may serve as Trustee. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to
be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, it shall resign
immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this
Article.

Section 610.   Resignation and Removal; Appointment of  Successor.

               (a) No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment
of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Article shall become effective until the
acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee in accordance with the
applicable requirements of Section 611.

               (b) The Trustee may resign at any time with respect to the
Securities of one or more series by giving written notice thereof to the
Company. If the instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee required by
Section 611 shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after
the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any
court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with
respect to the Securities of such series.

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

                                       47
<PAGE>   54

               (d) If at any time:

               (1) the Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 608 with
        respect to the Securities of any series after written request therefor
        by the Company or by any Holder of a Security of such series who has
        been a bona fide Holder of a Security of such series for at least six
        months, unless the Trustee's duty to resign has been stayed as provided
        in Section 608(f), or

               (2) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 609 and
        shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by
        any such Holder, or

               (3) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting with respect to
        any series of Securities or a decree or order for relief by a court
        having jurisdiction in the premises shall have been entered in respect
        of the Trustee in an involuntary case under the Federal bankruptcy laws,
        as now or hereafter constituted, or any other applicable federal or
        state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, or a decree or order by a
        court having jurisdiction in the premises shall have been entered for
        the appointment of a receiver, custodian, liquidator, assignee, trustee,
        sequestrator or other similar official of the Trustee or its property or
        affairs, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the
        Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation,
        conservation, winding up or liquidation, or

               (4) the Trustee shall commence a voluntary case under the federal
        bankruptcy laws, as now or hereafter constituted, or any other
        applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or
        shall consent to the appointment of or taking possession by a receiver,
        custodian, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator (or other similar
        official) of the Trustee or its property or affairs, or shall make an
        assignment for the benefit of creditors, or shall admit in writing its
        inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, or shall take
        corporate action in furtherance of any such action,

then, in any such case, (i) the Company by a Board Resolution may remove the
Trustee with respect to all Securities, or (ii) subject to Section 514, any
Holder of a Security who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least
six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated
(including those who have been Holders for less than six months), petition any
court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee with respect to
all Securities and the appointment of a successor Trustee or Trustees.

               (e) If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable
of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause,
with respect to the Securities of one or more series, the Company, by a Board
Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees with respect
to the Securities of that or those series (it being understood that any such
successor Trustee may be appointed with respect to the Securities of one or more
or all of such series and that at any time there shall be only one Trustee with
respect to the Securities of any particular series) and shall comply with the
applicable requirements of Section 611. If, within one year after such
resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a
successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall be
appointed by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of such series delivered

                                       48
<PAGE>   55

to the Company and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed
shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment in accordance with the
applicable requirements of Section 611, become the successor Trustee with
respect to the Securities of such series and to that extent supersede the
successor Trustee appointed by the Company. If no successor Trustee with respect
to the Securities of any series shall have been so appointed by the Company or
the Holders of Securities and accepted appointment in the manner required by
Section 611, any Holder of a Security who has been a bona fide Holder of a
Security of such series for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and
all others similarly situated (including those who have been Holders for less
than six months), or the Trustee may, petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the
Securities of such series.

               (f) The Company shall give notice of each resignation and each
removal of the Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series and each
appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series
in the manner provided in Section 106. Each notice shall include the name of the
successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and the address
of its Corporate Trust Office.

Section 611.   Acceptance of Appointment by Successor.

               (a) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee
with respect to all series of Securities, every such successor Trustee so
appointed shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to the
retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the
resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such
successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become
vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee;
but, on the request of the Company or the successor Trustee, such retiring
Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges, execute and deliver an instrument
transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the
retiring Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor
Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder, subject
nevertheless to its liens, if any, provided for in Section 607.

               (b) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee
with respect to the Securities of one or more (but not all) series, the Company,
the retiring Trustee and each successor Trustee with respect to the Securities
of one or more series shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto
wherein each successor Trustee shall accept such appointment and which (1) shall
contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and
confirm to, and to vest in, each successor Trustee all the rights, powers,
trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that
or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates, (2)
if the retiring Trustee is not retiring with respect to all Securities, shall
contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm
that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with
respect to the Securities of that or those series as to which the retiring
Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the retiring Trustee, and
(3) shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be
necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts
hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or
in such supplemental indenture shall constitute such Trustees as co-trustees of
the same trust and that each such Trustee shall be

                                       49
<PAGE>   56

trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or
trusts hereunder administered by any other such Trustee; and upon the execution
and delivery of such supplemental indenture the resignation or removal of the
retiring Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided therein and each
such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall
become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring
Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the
appointment of such successor Trustee relates; but, on request of the Company or
any successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall duly assign, transfer and
deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring
Trustee hereunder with respect to the Securities of that or those series to
which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates.

               (c) Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Company shall
execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and
confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred
to in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, as the case may be.

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

Section 612.   Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business.

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

Section 613.   Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company.

               (a) Subject to Subsection (b) of this Section, if the Trustee
shall be or shall become a creditor, directly or indirectly, secured or
unsecured, of the Company within three months prior to a default, as defined in
Subsection (c) of this Section, or subsequent to such a default, then, unless
and until such default shall be cured, the Trustee shall set apart and hold in a
special account for the benefit of the Trustee individually, the Holders of the
Securities and coupons and the holders of other indenture securities, as defined
in Subsection (c) of this Section:

               (1) an amount equal to any and all reductions in the amount due
        and owing upon any claim as such creditor in respect of principal or
        interest, effected after the beginning of such three-month period and
        valid as against the Company and its other creditors, except any such
        reduction resulting from the receipt or disposition of any property
        described in paragraph (2) of this Subsection, or from the exercise of
        any right

                                       50
<PAGE>   57

        of set-off which the Trustee could have exercised if a voluntary or
        involuntary case had been commenced in respect of the Company under the
        federal bankruptcy laws, as now or hereafter constituted, or any other
        applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law
        upon the date of such default; and

               (2) all property received by the Trustee in respect of any claims
        as such creditor, either as security therefor, or in satisfaction or
        composition thereof, or otherwise, after the beginning of such three
        months' period, or an amount equal to the proceeds of any such property,
        if disposed of, subject, however, to the rights, if any, of the Company
        and its other creditors in such property or such proceeds.

Nothing herein contained, however, shall affect the right of the Trustee:

               (A) to retain for its own account (i) payments made on account of
        any such claim by any Person (other than the Company) who is liable
        thereon, and (ii) the proceeds of the bona fide sale of any such claim
        by the Trustee to a third Person, and (iii) distributions made in cash,
        securities or other property in respect of claims filed against the
        Company in bankruptcy or receivership or in proceedings for
        reorganization pursuant to federal bankruptcy laws, as now or hereafter
        constituted, or any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy,
        insolvency or other similar law;

               (B) to realize, for its own account, upon any property held by it
        as security for any such claim, if such property was so held prior to
        the beginning of such three-month period;

               (C) to realize, for its own account, but only to the extent of
        the claim hereinafter mentioned, upon any property held by it as
        security for any such claim, if such claim was created after the
        beginning of such three-month period and such property was received as
        security therefor simultaneously with the creation thereof, and if the
        Trustee shall sustain the burden of proving that at the time such
        property was so received the Trustee had no reasonable cause to believe
        that a default, as defined in Subsection (c) of this Section, would
        occur within three months; or

               (D) to receive payment on any claim referred to in paragraph (B)
        or (C), against the release of any property held as security for such
        claim as provided in paragraph (B) or (C), as the case may be, to the
        extent of the fair value of such property.

               For the purposes of paragraphs (B), (C) and (D), property
substituted after the beginning of such three-month period for property held as
security at the time of such substitution shall, to the extent of the fair value
of the property released, have the same status as the property released, and, to
the extent that any claim referred to in any of such paragraphs is created in
renewal of or in substitution for or for the purpose of repaying or refunding
any pre-existing claim of the Trustee as such creditor, such claim shall have
the same status as such pre-existing claim.

               If the Trustee shall be required to account, the funds and
property held in such special account and the proceeds thereof shall be
apportioned among the Trustee, the Holders of Securities and the holders of
other indenture securities in such manner that the Trustee, the

                                       51
<PAGE>   58

Holders of Securities and the holders of other indenture securities realize, as
a result of payments from such special account and payments of dividends on
claims filed against the Company in bankruptcy or receivership or in proceedings
for reorganization pursuant to the federal bankruptcy laws, as now or hereafter
constituted, or any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or
other similar law, the same percentage of their respective claims, figured
before crediting to the claim of the Trustee anything on account of the receipt
by it from the Company of the funds and property in such special account and
before crediting to the respective claims of the Trustee and the Holders of
Securities and the holders of other indenture securities dividends on claims
filed against the Company in bankruptcy or receivership or in proceedings for
reorganization pursuant to the federal bankruptcy laws, as now or hereafter
constituted, or any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or
other similar law, but after crediting thereon receipts on account of the
indebtedness represented by their respective claims from all sources other than
from such dividends and from the funds and property so held in such special
account. As used in this paragraph, with respect to any claim, the term
"dividends" shall include any distribution with respect to such claim, in
bankruptcy or receivership or proceedings for reorganization pursuant to the
federal bankruptcy laws, as now or hereafter constituted, or any other
applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, whether
such distribution is made in cash, securities or other property, but shall not
include any such distribution with respect to the secured portion, if any, of
such claim. The court in which such bankruptcy, receivership or proceedings for
reorganization is pending shall have jurisdiction (i) to apportion among the
Trustee, the Holders of Securities and the holders of other indenture
securities, in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph, the funds and
property held in such special account and proceeds thereof, or (ii) in lieu of
such apportionment, in whole or in part, to give to the provisions of this
paragraph due consideration in determining the fairness of the distributions to
be made to the Trustee and the Holders of Securities and the holders of other
indenture securities with respect to their respective claims, in which event it
shall not be necessary to liquidate or to appraise the value of any securities
or other property held in such special account or as security for any such
claim, or to make a specific allocation of such distributions as between the
secured and unsecured portions of such claims, or otherwise to apply the
provisions of this paragraph as a mathematical formula.

               Any Trustee which has resigned or been removed after the
beginning of such three-month period shall be subject to the provisions of this
Subsection as though such resignation or removal had not occurred. If any
Trustee has resigned or been removed prior to the beginning of such three-month
period, it shall be subject to the provisions of this Subsection if and only if
the following conditions exist:

               (i) the receipt of property or reduction of claim, which would
        have given rise to the obligation to account, if such Trustee had
        continued as Trustee, occurred after the beginning of such three-month
        period; and

               (ii) such receipt of property or reduction of claim occurred
        within three months after such resignation or removal.

               (b) There shall be excluded from the operation of Subsection (a)
of this Section a creditor relationship arising from:

                                       52
<PAGE>   59

               (1) the ownership or acquisition of securities issued under any
        indenture, or any security or securities having a maturity of one year
        or more at the time of acquisition by the Trustee;

               (2) advances authorized by a receivership or bankruptcy court of
        competent jurisdiction or by this Indenture, for the purpose of
        preserving any property which shall at any time be subject to the lien
        of this Indenture or of discharging tax liens or other prior liens or
        encumbrances thereon, if notice of such advances and of the
        circumstances surrounding the making thereof is given to the Holders of
        Securities at the time and in the manner provided in this Indenture;

               (3) disbursements made in the ordinary course of business in the
        capacity of trustee under an indenture, transfer agent, registrar,
        custodian, paying agent, fiscal agent or depositary, or other similar
        capacity;

               (4) an indebtedness created as a result of services rendered or
        premises rented; or an indebtedness created as a result of goods or
        securities sold in a cash transaction, as defined in Subsection (c) of
        this Section;

               (5) the ownership of stock or of other securities of a
        corporation organized under the provisions of Section 25(a) of the
        Federal Reserve Act, as amended, which is directly or indirectly a
        creditor of the Company; or

               (6) the acquisition, ownership, acceptance or negotiation of any
        drafts, bills of exchange, acceptances or obligations which fall within
        the classification of self-liquidating paper, as defined in Subsection
        (c) of this Section.

               (c) For the purposes of this Section only:

               (1) the term "default" means any failure to make payments in full
        of the principal of or interest on any of the Securities or upon the
        other indenture securities when and as such principal or interest
        becomes due and payable;

               (2) the term "other indenture securities" means securities upon
        which the Company is an obligor outstanding under any other indenture
        (i) under which the Trustee is also trustee, (ii) which contains
        provisions substantially similar to the provisions of this Section, and
        (iii) under which a default exists at the time of the apportionment of
        the funds and property held in such special account;

               (3) the term "cash transaction" means any transaction in which
        full payment for goods or securities sold is made within seven days
        after delivery of the goods or securities in currency or in checks or
        other orders drawn upon banks or bankers and payable upon demand;

               (4) the term "self-liquidating paper" means any draft, bill of
        exchange, acceptance or obligation which is made, drawn, negotiated or
        incurred by the Company for the purpose of financing the purchase,
        processing, manufacturing, shipment, storage or sale of goods, wares or
        merchandise and which is secured by documents evidencing

                                       53
<PAGE>   60

        title to, possession of, or a lien upon, the goods, wares or merchandise
        or the receivables or proceeds arising from the sale of the goods, wares
        or merchandise previously constituting the security, provided the
        security is received by the Trustee simultaneously with the creation of
        the creditor relationship with the Company arising from the making,
        drawing, negotiating or incurring of the draft, bill of exchange,
        acceptance or obligation; and

               (5) the term "Company" means any obligor upon the Securities.

Section 614.   Appointment of Authenticating Agent.

               The Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents with
respect to one or more series of Securities which shall be authorized to act on
behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Securities of such series issued upon
original issue or upon exchange, registration of transfer or partial redemption
thereof or pursuant to Section 306, and if the Trustee is required to appoint
one or more Authenticating Agents with respect to any series of Securities, to
authenticate Securities of such series upon original issuance and to take such
other actions as are specified in Sections 303, 304, 305, 309, 906, 1107 and
1603, and Securities so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this
Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated
by the Trustee hereunder. Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to the
authentication and delivery of Securities by the Trustee or the Trustee's
certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include
authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent
and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an
Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the
Company and shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business
under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the
District of Columbia, or in the case of any Authenticating Agent with respect to
Securities issuable as Bearer Securities, under the laws of any country in which
such Bearer Securities may be offered, authorized under such laws to act as
Authenticating Agent, having a combined capital and surplus of not less than
$1,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State
authority or authority of such country. If such Authenticating Agent publishes
reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements
of said supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this
Section, the combined capital and surplus of such Authenticating Agent shall be
deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent
report of condition so published. If at any time an Authenticating Agent shall
cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, such
Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect
specified in this Section.

               Any corporation into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged
or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting
from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent
shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate agency or
corporate trust business of such Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be an
Authenticating Agent, provided such corporation shall be otherwise eligible
under this Section, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further
act on the part of the Trustee or such Authenticating Agent; provided, however,
that the Trustee shall upon such merger, conversion or consolidation notify
Holders of Bearer Securities thereof as provided in Section 106.

               An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving written
notice thereof to the Trustee and to the Company. The Trustee may at any time
terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice thereof
to such Authenticating Agent and to the Company. Upon receiving such a notice of
resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time such
Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of this Section, the Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating
Agent which shall be acceptable to the Company and shall provide notice to the
Holders of the series as to which the Authenticating Agent will serve as
provided in Section 106. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of
its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers and
duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as
an Authenticating Agent. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed
unless eligible under the provisions of this Section.

               The Trustee agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time
to time reasonable compensation for its services under this Section, and the
Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed for such payments, subject to the
provisions of Section 607.

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

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

                                            [NAME OF TRUSTEE], as Trustee

                                            By
                                              ----------------------------------
                                                    As Authenticating Agent

                                            By
                                              ----------------------------------
                                                    Authorized Signatory

               If all of the Securities of a series may not be originally issued
at one time, and if the Trustee does not have an office capable of
authenticating Securities upon original issuance located in a Place of Payment
where the Company wishes to have Securities of such series authenticated upon
original issuance, the Trustee, if so requested by the Company in writing (which
writing need not comply with Section 102 and need not be accompanied by an
Opinion of Counsel), shall appoint in accordance with this Section an
Authenticating Agent having an office in a Place of Payment designated by the
Company with respect to such series of Securities.

                                   ARTICLE VII

                Holders' Lists and Reports by Trustee and Company

Section 701.   Company to Furnish Trustee Names and Addresses of  Holders.

               The Company will furnish or cause to be furnished to the Trustee:

               (a) semi-annually, not later than each April 15 and October 15 in
        each year, a list, in such form as the Trustee may reasonably require,
        containing all the information in the possession or control of the
        Company, or any of its Paying Agents other than the Trustee, as to the
        names and addresses of the Holders of Securities of each series for
        which the Trustee acts as Trustee as of a date not more than 15 days
        prior to the time such list is furnished, and

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

excluding from any such list, if the Company so desires, names and addresses
received by the Trustee in its capacity as Security Registrar.

Section 702.   Preservation of Information; Communications to Holders.

               (a) The Trustee shall preserve, in as current a form as is
reasonably practicable, the names and addresses of Holders of Securities (i)
contained in the most recent list furnished to the Trustee as provided in
Section 701, (ii) received by the Trustee in its capacity as Paying Agent or
Security Registrar and (iii) filed with it within the two preceding years
pursuant to Section 703(c)(2). The Trustee may (i) destroy any list furnished to
it as provided in Section 701 upon receipt of a new list so furnished, (ii)
destroy any information received by it as Paying Agent or Security Registrar
hereunder upon delivering to itself as Trustee, not earlier than April 15 or
October 15, a list containing the names and addresses of the Holders of
Securities obtained from such information since the delivery of the next
previous list, if any, (iii) destroy any list delivered to itself as Trustee
which was compiled from information received by it as Paying Agent or Security
Registrar hereunder upon the receipt of a new list so delivered, and (iv)
destroy not earlier than two years after filing, any information filed with it
pursuant to Section 703(c)(2).

               (b) If three or more Holders of Securities (herein referred to as
"applicants") apply in writing to the Trustee, and furnish to the Trustee
reasonable proof that each such applicant has owned a Security for a period of
at least six months preceding the date of such application, and such application
states that the applicants desire to communicate with other Holders of
Securities of a particular series (in which case each such applicant must hold
Securities of such series) or with all Holders of Securities with respect to
their rights under this Indenture or under the Securities and is accompanied by
a copy of the form of proxy or other communication which such applicants propose
to transmit to such other Holders, then the Trustee shall, within five business
days after the receipt of such application, at its election, either:

                                       56
<PAGE>   63

               (i) afford such applicants access to the information preserved at
        the time by the Trustee in accordance with Section 702(a), or

               (ii) inform such applicants as to the approximate number of
        Holders of Securities of such series or of all Securities, as the case
        may be, whose names and addresses appear in the information preserved at
        the time by the Trustee in accordance with Section 702(a), and as to the
        approximate cost of mailing to such Holders the form of proxy or other
        communication, if any, specified in such application.

               If the Trustee shall elect not to afford such applicants access
to such information, the Trustee shall, upon the written request of such
applicants, mail to each Holder of Securities of such series or of all
Securities, as the case may be, whose name and address appear in the information
preserved at the time by the Trustee in accordance with Section 702(a) a copy of
the form of proxy or other communication which is specified in such request,
with reasonable promptness after a tender to the Trustee of the material to be
mailed and of payment, or provision for the payment, of the reasonable expenses
of mailing, unless within five days after such tender the Trustee shall mail to
such applicants and file with the Commission, together with a copy of the
material to be mailed, a written statement to the effect that, in the opinion of
the Trustee, such mailing would be contrary to the best interest of the Holders
of Securities of such series or of all Securities, as the case may be, or would
be in violation of applicable law. Such written statement shall specify the
basis of such opinion. If the Commission, after opportunity for a hearing upon
the objections specified in the written statement so filed, shall enter an order
refusing to sustain any of such objections or if, after the entry of an order
sustaining one or more of such objections, the Commission shall find, after
notice and opportunity for hearing, that all the objections so sustained have
been met and shall enter an order so declaring, the Trustee shall mail copies of
such material to all such Holders of Securities with reasonable promptness after
the entry of such order and the renewal of such tender; otherwise the Trustee
shall be relieved of any obligation or duty to such applicants respecting their
application.

               (c) Every Holder of Securities or coupons, by receiving and
holding the same, agrees with the Company and the Trustee that neither the
Company nor the Trustee nor any agent of either of them shall be held
accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information as to the names
and addresses of the Holders of Securities in accordance with Section 702(b),
regardless of the source from which such information was derived, and that the
Trustee shall not be held accountable by reason of mailing any material pursuant
to a request made under Section 702(b).

Section 703.   Reports by Trustee.

                (a) Within 60 days after October 1 of each year commencing with
the year [_____], the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Holders of
Securities of any series for which it acts as the Trustee, as provided in
Subsection (c) of this Section, a brief report dated as of such October 1 with
respect to any of the following events which may have occurred within the
previous twelve months (but if no such event has occurred within such period, no
report need be transmitted):

                                       57
<PAGE>   64

               (1) any change to its eligibility under Section 609 and its
        qualifications under Section 608;

               (2) the creation of or any material change to a relationship
        specified in paragraphs (1) through (10) of paragraphs Section 608(c);

               (3) the character and amount of any advances (and if the Trustee
        elects so to state, the circumstances surrounding the making thereof)
        made by the Trustee (as such) which remain unpaid on the date of such
        report, and for the reimbursement of which it claims or may claim a lien
        or charge, prior to that of the Securities of such series or any related
        coupons, on any property or funds held or collected by it as Trustee,
        except that the Trustee shall not be required (but may elect) to report
        such advances if such advances so remaining unpaid aggregate not more
        than one-half of 1% of the principal amount of the Securities
        Outstanding on the date of such report;

               (4) any change to the amount, interest rate and maturity date of
        all other indebtedness owing by the Company (or by any other obligor on
        the Securities of such series) to the Trustee in its individual
        capacity, on the date of such report, with a brief description of any
        property held as collateral security therefor, except an indebtedness
        based upon a creditor relationship arising in any manner described in
        Section 613(b)(2), (3), (4) or (6);

               (5) any change to the property and funds, if any, physically in
        the possession of the Trustee as such on the date of such report;

               (6) any additional issue of Securities which the Trustee has not
        previously reported; and

               (7) any action taken by the Trustee in the performance of its
        duties hereunder which it has not previously reported and which in its
        opinion materially affects the Securities, except action in respect of a
        default, notice of which has been or is to be withheld by the Trustee in
        accordance with Section 602;

provided, however, that if the Trust Indenture Act is amended subsequent to the
date hereof to eliminate the requirement of the Trustee's brief report, the
report required by this Section need not be transmitted to any Holders.

                (b) The Trustee shall transmit to all Holders of Securities of
any series for which it acts as the Trustee, as provided in Subsection (c) of
this Section, a brief report with respect to the character and amount of any
advances (and if the Trustee elects so to state, the circumstances surrounding
the making thereof) made by the Trustee (as such) since the date of the last
report transmitted pursuant to Subsection (a) of this Section (or if no such
report has yet been so transmitted, since the date of execution of this
instrument) for the reimbursement of which it claims or may claim a lien or
charge, prior to that of the Securities of any series for which it acts as the
Trustee, on property or funds held or collected by it as Trustee for such series
and which it has not previously reported pursuant to this Subsection to be
transmitted within 90 days after the time of any such advances, except that the
Trustee shall not be required (but may

                                       58
<PAGE>   65

elect) to report such advances if such advances remaining unpaid at any time
aggregate 10% or less of the principal amount of the Securities of such series
Outstanding at such time.

               (c) Reports pursuant to this Section shall be transmitted by
mail:

               (1) to all Holders of Registered Securities, as the names and
        addresses of such Holders appear in the Security Register;

               (2) to such Holders of Bearer Securities as have, within the two
        years preceding such transmission, filed their names and addresses with
        the Trustee for that purpose; and

               (3) except in the case of reports pursuant to Subsection (b) of
        this Section, to each Holder of a Security whose name and address is
        preserved at the time by the Trustee, as provided in Section 702(a).

               (d) A copy of each such report shall, at the time of such
transmission to Holders of Securities, be filed by the Trustee with each stock
exchange upon which any Securities of such series are listed, with the
Commission and with the Company. The Company will notify the Trustee when any
series of Securities are listed on any stock exchange.

               The Company shall:

               (1) file with the Trustee, within 15 days after the Company is
        required to file the same with the Commission, copies of the annual

        the Commission, such of the supplementary and periodic information,

        impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any such
        payment on or after the Stated Maturity thereof (or, in the case of
        redemption or repayment, or on or after the Redemption Date or Repayment
        Date, as the case may be), or

               (2) reduce the percentage in principal amount of the Outstanding
        Securities of any series, the consent of whose Holders is required for
        any such supplemental indenture, or the consent of whose Holders is
        required for any waiver (of compliance with certain provisions of this
        Indenture or certain defaults hereunder and their consequences) provided
        for in this Indenture, or reduce the requirements of Section 1304 for
        quorum or voting, or

               (3) change any obligation of the Company to maintain an office or
        agency in the places and for the purposes specified in Section 1002, or

               (4) modify any of the provisions of this Section or Section 513,
        except to increase any such percentage or to provide that certain other
        provisions of this Indenture cannot be modified or waived without the
        consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security affected thereby;
        provided, however, that this clause shall not be deemed to require the
        consent of any Holder of a Security or coupon with respect to changes in
        the references to "the Trustee" and concomitant changes in this Section,
        or the deletion of this proviso, in accordance with the requirements of
        Sections 611(b) and 901(7), or

               (5) adversely affect the right to repayment, if any, of the
        Securities of any series at the option of the Holders thereof.

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

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

Section 903.   Execution of Supplemental Indentures.

               In executing, or accepting the additional trusts created by, any
supplemental indenture permitted by this Article or the modifications thereby of
the trusts created by this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive,
and (subject to Section 601) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an
Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such supplemental indenture is
authorized or permitted by this Indenture and such supplemental indenture
constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable
in accordance with its terms, subject to customary exceptions. The Trustee may,
but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such supplemental indenture which
affects the Trustee's own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or
otherwise.

Section 904.   Effect of Supplemental Indentures.

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

Section 905.   Conformity with Trust Indenture Act.

               Every supplemental indenture executed pursuant to this Article
shall conform to the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act as then in effect.

Section 906.   Reference in Securities to Supplemental Indentures.

               Securities of any series authenticated and delivered after the
execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Article may, and shall
if required by the Trustee, bear a notation in form approved by the Trustee as
to any matter provided for in such supplemental indenture. If the Company shall
so determine, new Securities of any series so modified as to conform, in the
opinion of the Trustee and the Company, to any such supplemental indenture may
be prepared and executed by the Company and authenticated and delivered by the
Trustee in exchange for Outstanding Securities of such series.

                                   ARTICLE X

                                   Covenants

Section 1001.  Payment of Principal, Premium and Interest.

               The Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of each series
of Securities that it will duly and punctually pay the principal of and any
premium and interest on the Securities of that series in accordance with the
terms of the Securities, any coupons appertaining thereto and this Indenture.
Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to any
series of Securities, any interest due on Bearer Securities on or before
Maturity shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of the several
coupons for such interest installments as are evidenced thereby as they
severally mature.

Section 1002.  Maintenance of Office or Agency.

               If Securities of a series are issuable only as Registered
Securities, the Company will maintain in each Place of Payment for such series
an office or agency where Securities of that series may be presented or
surrendered for payments, where Securities of that series may be surrendered for
registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon
the Company in respect of the Securities of that series and this Indenture may
be served. If Securities of a series are issuable as Bearer Securities, the
Company will maintain, subject to any laws or regulations applicable thereto, in
a Place of Payment for that series, which is located outside the United States,
an office or agency where Securities of that series and related coupons may be
presented and surrendered for payment (including payment of any additional
amounts

                                       64
<PAGE>   71

payable on Securities of that series pursuant to Section 1005); provided,
however, that if the Securities of that series are listed on The Stock Exchange
of the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland, the Luxembourg Stock Exchange
or any other stock exchange located outside the United States and such stock
exchange shall so require, the Company will maintain a Paying Agent for the
Securities of that series in London, Luxembourg or any other required city
located outside the United States, as the case may be, so long as the Securities
of that series are listed on such exchange. The Company will give prompt written
notice to the Trustee and the Holders of such series of the location, and any
change in the location, of any such office or agency. If at any time the Company
shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency in respect of any
series of Securities or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address
thereof, such presentations, and surrenders of Securities of that series may be
made and notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office
of the Trustee.

               Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 301 with
respect to any series of Securities, no payment of principal, premium or
interest on Bearer Securities shall be made at any office or agency of the
Company in the United States or by check mailed to any address in the United
States or by transfer to an account maintained with a bank located in the United
States; provided, however, that, if the Securities of a series are denominated
and payable in Dollars, payment of principal of and any premium and interest on
any Bearer Security (including any additional amounts payable on Securities of
such series pursuant to Section 1005) shall be made at the office of the
Company's Paying Agent in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, if
(but only if) payment in Dollars of the full amount of such principal, premium,
interest or additional amounts, as the case may be, at all offices or agencies
outside the United States maintained for the purpose by the Company in
accordance with this Indenture is illegal or effectively precluded by exchange
controls or other similar restrictions on the full payment or receipt of such
principal, premium, interest or additional amounts, as the case may be, in
Dollars. Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 301 with respect
to any series of Securities, at the option of the Holder of any Bearer Security
or related coupon, payment may be made by check presented or mailed to an
address outside the United States or by transfer to an account maintained by the
payee with a bank located outside the United States.

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

               Unless otherwise provided pursuant to Section 301, the Company
initially appoints the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, New York, New York
as its agency for the purposes of the first sentence of this Section.

Section 1003.  Money for Securities Payments to Be Held in Trust.

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

               Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents for any
series of Securities, it will, on each due date of the principal of and any
premium or interest on any Securities of that series and any related coupons,
deposit with a Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay the principal and any
premium or interest so becoming due, such sum to be held in trust for the
benefit of the Persons entitled to such principal, premium or interest, and
(unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the
Trustee in writing of its action or failure so to act.

               The Company will cause each Paying Agent for any series of
Securities other than the Trustee to execute and deliver to the Trustee an
instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to
the provisions of this Section, that such Paying Agent will:

               (1) hold all sums held by it for the payment of the principal of
        and any premium or interest on Securities of that series and any related
        coupons in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until
        such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as
        herein provided;

               (2) give the Trustee notice in writing of any default by the
        Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities of that series or any
        related coupons) in the making of any payment of principal of and any
        premium or interest on the Securities of that series or any related
        coupons; and

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

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

               Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent or held
by the Company in trust for the payment of the principal of and any premium or
interest on any Security of any series or any related coupon and remaining
unclaimed for two years after such principal and any premium or interest has
become due and payable shall be paid to the Company

                                       66
<PAGE>   73

on Company Request, or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from
such trust; and the Holder of such Security or any coupon appertaining thereto
shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for
payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with
respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee
thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such
Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the
expense of the Company cause to be published once, in an Authorized Newspaper in
each Place of Payment, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after
a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of
such publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be
repaid to the Company.

Section 1004.  Officers' Certificate.

               The Company will deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after
the end of each fiscal year, a written statement signed by the President or a
Vice President and by the Treasurer, an Assistant Treasurer, the Controller or
an Assistant Controller of the Company, stating, as to each signer thereof, that

               (1) a review of the activities of the Company during such year
        and of performance under this Indenture has been made under his
        supervision, and

               (2) to the best of his knowledge, based on such review, (a) the
        Company has fulfilled all its obligations under this Indenture
        throughout such year, or, if there has been a default in the fulfillment
        of any such obligation, specifying each such default known to him and
        the nature and status thereof, and (b) no event has occurred and is
        continuing which is, or upon notice or lapse of time or both would
        become, a Default, or, if such an event has occurred and is continuing,
        specifying each such event known to him and the nature and status
        thereof.

               The Company will deliver a written notice to the Trustee promptly
after any officer of the Company has knowledge of the occurrence of any event
which with the giving of notice or the lapse of time or both would become a
Default under Section 501.

Section 1005.  Additional Amounts.

               If the Securities of a series provide for the payment of
additional amounts, the Company will pay to the Holder of any Security of such
series or any coupon appertaining thereto additional amounts as provided
therein. Whenever in this Indenture there is mentioned, in any context, the
payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on, or in respect of, any
Security of any series or payment of any related coupon or the net proceeds
received on the sale or exchange of any Security of any series, such mention
shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of additional amounts provided
for in this Section to the extent that, in such context, additional amounts are,
were or would be payable in respect thereof pursuant to the provisions of this
Section and express mention of the payment of additional amounts (if applicable)
in any provisions hereof shall not be construed as excluding additional amounts
in those provisions hereof where such express mention is not made.

                                       67
<PAGE>   74

               If the Securities of a series provide for the payment of
additional amounts, at least 10 days prior to the first Interest Payment Date
with respect to that series of Securities (or if the Securities of that series
will not bear interest prior to Maturity, the first day on which a payment of
principal and any premium is made), and at least 10 days prior to each date of
payment of principal and any premium or interest if there has been any change
with respect to the matters set forth in the below-mentioned Officers'
Certificate, the Company will furnish the Trustee and the Company's Paying Agent
or Paying Agents, if other than the Trustee, with an Officers' Certificate
instructing the Trustee and such Paying Agent or Paying Agents whether such
payment of principal of and any premium or interest on the Securities of that
series shall be made to Holders of Securities of that series or any related
coupons who are United States Aliens without withholding for or on account of
any tax, assessment or other governmental charge described in the Securities of
that series. If any such withholding shall be required, then such Officers'
Certificate shall specify by country the amount, if any, required to be withheld
on such payments to such Holders of Securities or coupons and the Company will
pay to the Trustee or such Paying Agent the additional amounts required by this
Section. The Company covenants to indemnify the Trustee and any Paying Agent
for, and to hold them harmless against, any loss, liability or expense
reasonably incurred without negligence or bad faith on their part arising out of
or in connection with actions taken or omitted by any of them in reliance on any
Officers' Certificate furnished pursuant to this Section. The provisions of this
Section 1005 shall survive any removal or resignation of the Trustee.

Section 1006.  Existence.

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

Section 1007.  Limitation on Disposition of Voting Stock of World FSB, World
SSB and World S&L.

               So long as any of the Securities shall be Outstanding but subject
to the provisions of Article Eight, the Company:

               (1) will not, nor will it permit World FSB, World SSB or World
        S&L to, sell, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of any shares of,
        securities convertible into or options, warrants or rights to subscribe
        for or purchase shares of, Voting Stock of World FSB, World SSB and
        World S&L, and will not permit World FSB, World SSB or World S&L to
        issue any shares of, or securities convertible into or options, warrants
        or rights to subscribe for or purchase shares of, such Voting Stock
        (other than sales of directors qualifying shares) if, in each case,
        after giving effect to any such transaction and to the issuance of the
        maximum number of shares of Voting Stock of World FSB, World SSB or
        World S&L issuable upon the exercise of all such convertible securities,
        options,

                                       68
<PAGE>   75

        warrants or rights, World FSB, World SSB and World S&L, as the case may
        be, would cease to be a Controlled Subsidiary, or

               (2) will not permit World FSB, World SSB and World S&L to

                      (A) merge or consolidate with or into any other
               corporation, unless the surviving corporation is the Company or
               is, or upon consummation of the merger or consolidation will
               become, a Controlled Subsidiary; or

                      (B) lease, sell or transfer all or substantially all of
               its properties and assets to any corporation or other Person,
               except to the Company or to a Controlled Subsidiary or a Person
               that, upon such lease, sale or transfer, will become a Controlled
               Subsidiary.

               Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such sale, assignment or
transfer of securities, any such merger or consolidation or any such lease, sale
or transfer of properties and assets shall not be prohibited if required (A) by
any law or any rule, regulation or order of any governmental agency or authority
or (B) as a condition imposed by any law or any rule, regulation or order of any
governmental agency or authority to the acquisition by the Company, directly or
indirectly, through purchase of stock or assets, merger, consolidation or
otherwise, of any Person, provided that, after giving effect to such disposition
and acquisition, (i) such Person will be a Controlled Subsidiary, and (ii) the
Consolidated Assets of the Company will be at least equal to the Consolidated
Assets of the Company prior thereto; and nothing in this section shall prohibit
the Company or any Controlled Subsidiary from the sale or transfer of assets
pursuant to any securitization transaction.

Section 1008.  Limitation on Creation of Certain Liens.

               So long as any of the Securities shall be outstanding, the
Company will not, nor will it permit World FSB, World SSB or World S&L to,
create, assume, incur, or suffer to be created, assumed or incurred or to exist,
any pledge, encumbrance or lien, as security for indebtedness for borrowed
money, upon any shares of, or securities convertible into or options, warrants
or rights to subscribe for or purchase shares of, Voting Stock of World FSB,
World SSB or World S&L, directly or indirectly, without making effective
provision whereby the Securities of all series shall be equally and ratably
secured with any and all such indebtedness if, treating such pledge, encumbrance
or lien as a transfer of the shares of, or securities convertible into or
options, warrants or rights to subscribe for or purchase shares of, Voting Stock
of World FSB, World SSB and World S&L subject thereto to the secured party and
after giving effect to the issuance of the maximum number of shares of Voting
Stock of World FSB, World SSB or World S&L, as the case may be, issuable upon
the exercise of all such convertible securities, options, warrants or rights,
World FSB, World SSB and World S&L, as the case may be, would not continue to be
a Controlled Subsidiary.

                                   ARTICLE XI

                            Redemption of Securities

Section 1101.  Applicability of Article.

               Securities of any series which are redeemable before their Stated
Maturity shall be redeemable in accordance with their terms and (except as
otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for Securities of any series)
in accordance with this Article.

Section 1102.  Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee.

               The election of the Company to redeem any Securities shall be
evidenced by a Board Resolution. In the case of any redemption at the election
of the Company of less than all the Securities of any series with the same (i)
Stated Maturity, (ii) period or periods within which, price or prices at which
and terms and conditions upon which such Securities may or shall be redeemed or
purchased, in whole or in part, at the option of the Company or pursuant to any
sinking fund or analogous provision or repayable at the option of the Holder and
(iii) rate or rates at which the Securities bear interest, if any, or formula
pursuant to which such rate or rates accrue (collectively, the "Equivalent
Principal Terms"), the Company shall, at least 60 days prior to the Redemption
Date fixed by the Company (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the
Trustee), notify the Trustee in writing of such Redemption Date and of the
principal amount of Securities of such series and with such Equivalent Principal
Terms to be redeemed. In the case of any redemption of Securities (i) prior to
the expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided in the terms of
such Securities with Equivalent Principal Terms or elsewhere in this Indenture,
or (ii) pursuant to an election of the Company which is subject to a condition
specified in the terms of such Securities with Equivalent Principal Terms, the
Company shall furnish the Trustee with an Officers' Certificate evidencing
compliance with such restriction or condition.

Section 1103.  Selection by Trustee of Securities to Be Redeemed.

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

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

               For all purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise
requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Securities shall relate,
in the case of any Securities

                                       70
<PAGE>   77

redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal amount
of such Securities which has been or is to be redeemed.

Section 1104.  Notice of Redemption.

               Notice of redemption shall be given in the manner provided in
Section 106 to the Holders of Securities to be redeemed not less than 30 nor
more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date. With respect to Registered
Securities, at least two business days before the mailing of notices to the
Holders of the Securities, the Trustee shall also give notice of redemption by
(i) registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, (ii) confirmed facsimile
transmission or (iii) overnight delivery service to all registered securities
depositories then in the business of holding substantial amounts of obligations
of types comprising the Securities to be redeemed (such depositories now being
Depository Trust Company of New York, New York; Midwest Securities Trust Company
of Chicago, Illinois; and Philadelphia Depository Trust Company of Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania).

               All notices of redemption shall state:

               (1) the Redemption Date,

               (2) the Redemption Price,

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

               (4) that on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price will become
        due and payable upon each such Security to be redeemed and, if
        applicable, that interest thereon will cease to accrue on and after said
        date unless the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption
        Price plus accrued interest,

               (5) the place or places where such Securities, together in the
        case of Bearer Securities with all coupons appertaining thereto, if any,
        maturing after the Redemption Date, are to be surrendered for payment of
        the Redemption Price,

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

               (7) the CUSIP number of the Securities, if any.

               Notice of redemption of Securities to be redeemed at the election
of the Company shall be given by the Company or, at the Company's request, by
the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company in which event the
Company shall provide the Trustee with the information required by Clauses (1)

Section 1105.  Deposit of Redemption Price.

               On or prior to any Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit
with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own
Paying Agent, segregate and hold

                                       71

in trust as provided in Section 1003) an amount of money in immediately
available funds sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of, and (if accrued
interest is to be paid to the Persons surrendering the relevant Securities for
redemption) accrued interest on, all the Securities which are to be redeemed on
that date.

Section 1106.  Securities Payable on Redemption Date.

               Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the
Securities so to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and
payable at the Redemption Price therein specified, and from and after such date
(unless the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price and
accrued interest) such Securities shall cease to bear interest and the coupons
for such interest appertaining to any Bearer Securities so to be redeemed,
except to the extent provided below, shall be void. Upon surrender of any such
Security for redemption in accordance with said notice, together with all
coupons, if any, appertaining thereto maturing after the Redemption Date, such
Security shall be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price, together (if
accrued interest is to be paid to the Persons surrendering the relevant
Securities for redemption) with accrued interest to the Redemption Date;
provided, however, that installments of interest on Bearer Securities whose
Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable only at
an office or agency located outside the United States (except as otherwise
provided in Section 1002) and, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by
Section 301, only upon presentation and surrender of coupons for such interest,
and provided, further, that, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by
Section 301, installments of interest on Registered Securities whose Stated
Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders
of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities, registered as such at
the close of business on the relevant Record Dates according to their terms and
the provisions of Section 307.

               If any Bearer Security surrendered for redemption shall not be
accompanied by all appurtenant coupons maturing after the Redemption Date, such
Security may be paid after deducting from the Redemption Price an amount equal
to the face amount of all such missing coupons, or the surrender of such missing
coupon or coupons may be waived by the Company and the Trustee if there be
furnished to them such security or indemnity as they may require to save each of
them and any Paying Agent harmless. If thereafter the Holder of such Security
shall surrender to the Trustee or any Paying Agent any such missing coupon in
respect of which a deduction shall have been made from the Redemption Price,
such Holder shall be entitled to receive the amount so deducted; provided,
however, that interest represented by coupons shall be payable only at an office
or agency located outside the United States (except as otherwise provided in
Section 1002) and, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301,
only upon presentation and surrender of those coupons.

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

Section 1107.  Securities Redeemed in Part.

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

                                  Sinking Funds

Section 1201.  Applicability of Article.

               The provisions of this Article shall be applicable to any sinking
fund for the retirement of Securities of a series except as otherwise specified
as contemplated by Section 301 for Securities of such series.

               The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by
the terms of Securities of any series is herein referred to as a "mandatory
sinking fund payment", and any payment in excess of such minimum amount provided
for by the terms of Securities of any series is herein referred to as an
"optional sinking fund payment". If provided for by the terms of Securities of
any series, the cash amount of any sinking fund payment may be subject to
reduction as provided in Section 1202. Each sinking fund payment shall be
applied to the redemption of Securities of any series as provided for by the
terms of Securities of such series.

Section 1202.  Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments with Securities.

               The Company (1) may deliver Outstanding Securities of a series
(other than any previously called for redemption), together in the case of any
Bearer Securities of such series with all unmatured coupons appertaining
thereto, and (2) may apply as a credit Securities of a series which have been
redeemed either at the election of the Company pursuant to the terms of such
Securities or through the application of permitted optional sinking fund
payments pursuant to the terms of such Securities, in each case under Clause (1)
or (2) above in satisfaction of all or any part of any sinking fund payment with
respect to the Securities of such series required to be made pursuant to the
terms of such Securities as provided for by the terms of such series; provided
that such Securities have not been previously so credited. Such Securities shall
be received and credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the Redemption Price
specified in such Securities for redemption through operation of the sinking
fund and the amount of such sinking fund payment shall be reduced accordingly.

Section 1203.  Redemption of Securities for Sinking Fund.

               Not less than 60 days prior to each sinking fund payment date for
Securities of any series or such shorter period as shall be satisfactory to the
Trustee, the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate
specifying the amount of the next ensuing sinking fund payment for such
Securities pursuant to the terms of such Securities, the portion thereof, if
any, which is to be satisfied by payment of cash and the portion thereof, if
any, which is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting Securities of that
series pursuant to Section 1202 and will also deliver to the Trustee any
Securities to be so delivered. The Trustee shall select the Securities to be
redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date in the manner specified in Section
1103 and cause notice of the redemption thereof to be given in the name of and
at the expense of the Company in the manner provided in Section 1104. Such
notice having been duly given, the redemption of such Securities shall be made
upon the terms and in the manner stated in Sections 1106 and 1107.

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

and the appointment of any proxy shall be proved in the manner specified in
Section 104 or by having the signature of the person executing the proxy

temporary chairman of the meeting, unless the meeting shall have been called by
the Company or by Holders of Securities as provided in Section 1302(b), in which

        (iii) any amounts that may be payable at the option of the Holder on any

        amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the
        case if such defeasance had not occurred and (ii) in the case of Bearer
        Securities, there will be no adverse federal tax consequences to the
        Holders of such Bearer Securities as a result of such defeasance;

deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee collectively, for
purposes of this Section 1405, the "Trustee") pursuant to Section 1404 in

Securities with Equivalent Principal Terms to be issued to the Holder for the
portion of the principal of the Security surrendered which is not to be repaid.

               Any Registered Security which is to be repaid only in part shall
be surrendered at a Place of Payment therefor (with, if the Company or the
Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in
form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder
thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing), and the Company shall
execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such
Security without service charge, a new Registered Security or Securities with
Equivalent Principal Terms of any authorized denomination as requested by such
Holder, in aggregate principal amount

                                       80
<PAGE>   87

equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the
Security so surrendered.

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

Section 1604.  Securities Payable on the Repayment Date.

               Notice of exercise of the option of repayment having been given
and the Securities so to be repaid having been surrendered as aforesaid, such
Securities shall, on the Repayment Date, become due and payable at the Repayment
Price therein specified and from and after such date (unless the Company shall
default in the payment of the Repayment Price and accrued interest) such
Securities shall cease to bear interest and the coupons for such interest
appertaining to any Bearer Security so to be repaid, except to the extent
provided below, shall be void. Upon surrender of any such Security for repayment
in accordance with Section 1603 together with all coupons, if any, appertaining
thereto maturing after the Repayment Date, such Security shall be paid by the
Company at the Repayment Price, together with accrued interest to the Repayment
Date; provided, however, that installments of interest on Bearer Securities
whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Repayment Date shall be payable only
at an office or agency located outside the United States (except as otherwise
provided in Section 1002) and, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by
Section 301, only upon presentation and surrender of coupons for such interest,
and provided, further, that, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by
Section 301, installments of interest on Registered Securities whose Stated
Maturity is on or prior to the Repayment Date shall be payable to the Holders of
such Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities, registered as such at
the close of business on the relevant Record Dates according to their terms and
the provisions of Section 307.

               On or prior to any Repayment Date, the Company shall deposit with
the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own
Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 1003) an amount
of money in immediately available funds sufficient to pay the Repayment Price
of, and (if accrued interest is to be paid to the Persons surrendering the
relevant Securities for repayment) accrued interest on, all the Securities which
are to be repaid on that date.

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

                                       81
<PAGE>   88

provided in Section 1002) and, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by
Section 301, only upon presentation and surrender of those coupons.

               If any Security duly surrendered for repayment shall not be so
paid, the principal and any premium shall, until paid, bear interest from the
Repayment Date at the rate prescribed therefor in the Security.

whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the
enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise; it being expressly

reason of the obligations, covenants or agreements contained in this Indenture
or in any of the Securities or inferred therefrom; and that any and all such
personal liability, either at common law or in equity or by constitution or
statute, of, and any and all such rights and claims against, every such
incorporator, stockholder, officer or director, as such, because of the creation
of the indebtedness hereby authorized, or under or by reason of the obligations,
covenants or agreements contained in this Indenture or in any of the Securities
or implied therefrom, are hereby expressly waived and released as a condition
of, and as a consideration for, the execution of this Indenture and the issue of
such Securities.

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

above (the "Federal Funds Interest Determination Date"), (c) "Determination of
CD Rate" above (the "CD Interest Determination Date") or (d) "Determination of
Prime Rate" above (the "Prime Rate Interest Determination Date") will be the
Business Day preceding such Interest Reset Date with respect to this Note if the
Interest Rate Basis on this Note is the Prime Rate or the Federal Funds Rate,
and the second Business Day preceding such Interest Reset Date if the Interest
Rate Basis on this Note is the Commercial Paper Rate or the CD Rate. Unless
otherwise specified on the face hereof, the Interest Determination Date
pertaining to an Interest Reset Date if the rate of interest on this Note shall
be determined in accordance with the provisions of the heading "Determination of
LIBOR" above (the "LIBOR Interest Determination Date") will be the second London
Business Day preceding such Interest Reset Date unless the LIBOR Currency is
British Pounds Sterling, in which case the LIBOR Interest Determination Date
will be the applicable Interest Reset Date. Unless otherwise specified on the
face hereof, the Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset
Date if the rate of interest on this Note shall be determined in accordance with
the provisions of the heading "Determination of Treasury Rate" above (the
"Treasury Interest Determination Date") will be the day of the week in which
such Interest Reset Date falls on which Treasury bills would normally be
auctioned. Treasury bills are usually sold at auction on Monday of each week,
unless that day is a legal holiday, in which case the auction is usually held on
the following Tuesday, except that such auction may be held on the preceding
Friday. If, as the result of a legal holiday, an auction is so held on the
preceding Friday, such Friday will be the Treasury Interest Determination Date
pertaining to the Interest Reset Date occurring in the next succeeding week. If
an auction date shall fall on any Interest Reset Date for a Treasury Rate Note,
then such Interest Reset Date shall instead be the first Business Day
immediately following such auction date.

               Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, the Calculation
Date pertaining to any Interest Determination Date, other than with respect to
LIBOR Notes, is the earlier of (i) the tenth day after such Interest
Determination Date or, if any such day is not a Business Day, the next
succeeding Business Day, or (ii) the Business Day preceding the applicable
Interest Payment Date or Maturity, as the case may be.

               Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, interest payments,
if any, will be the amount of interest accrued from and including the last date
in respect of which interest has been paid or duly provided for (or from and
including the Original Issue Date if no interest has been paid or provided for
with respect to this Note) to but excluding the Interest Payment Date or the
date of Maturity. Accrued interest hereon from the Original Issue Date or from
the last date to which interest hereon has been paid is calculated by
multiplying the face amount hereof by an accrued interest factor. Such accrued
interest factor is computed by adding the interest factor calculated for each
day from the Original Issue Date or from the last date to which interest shall
have been paid, to the date for which accrued interest is being calculated. The
interest factor for each day shall be computed by dividing the interest rate
applicable to such day by 360, in the case of the Commercial Paper Rate, Federal
Funds Rate, Prime Rate, CD Rate or LIBOR, or by the actual number of days in the
year in the case of the Treasury Rate. All percentages resulting from any
calculation hereon will be rounded to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a
percentage point, with five-one millionths of a percentage point rounded
upwards. For example, 9.876545% (or .09876545) would be rounded to 9.87655% (or
 .0987655). All dollar amounts used in or resulting from any calculation hereon
will be rounded, in the case of United states dollars, to the nearest cent or,
in the case of a Specified Currency other than Untied States dollars, to the
nearest unit (with one-half cent or unit being rounded upwards).

               If the Company has the option with respect to this Note to reset
the Spread and/or Spread Multiplier, such option will be indicated on the face
hereof, together with (i) the date or dates on which such Spread and/or Spread
Multiplier may be reset (each an "Optional Reset Date") and (ii) the basis or
formula, if any, for such resetting. The Company may exercise such option by
notifying the Trustee of such exercise at least 45 but not more than 60 days
prior to an Optional Reset Date. Not later than 40 days prior to such Optional
Reset Date, the Trustee will mail to the Holder hereof a notice (the "Reset
Notice"), first class, postage prepaid, setting forth (i) the election of the
Company to reset the Spread and/or Spread Multiplier, (ii) such new Spread
and/or Spread Multiplier, and (iii) the provisions, if any, for redemption
during the period from such Optional Reset Date to the next Optional Reset Date
or, if there is no such next Optional Reset Date, to the Stated Maturity of this
Note (each such period a "Subsequent Interest Period"), including the date or
dates on which or the period or periods during which and the price or prices at
which such redemption may occur during such Subsequent Interest Period.

               Notwithstanding the foregoing, not later than 20 days prior to an
Optional Reset Date, the Company may, at its option, revoke the Spread and/or
Spread Multiplier provided for in the Reset Notice and establish a higher Spread
and/or Spread Multiplier for the Subsequent Interest Period commencing on such
Optional Reset Date by mailing or causing the Trustee to mail notice of such
higher Spread and/or Spread Multiplier first class, postage prepaid, to the
Holder hereof. Such notice shall be irrevocable. If the Spread and/or Spread
Multiplier is reset on an Optional Reset Date this Note will bear such higher
Spread and/or Spread Multiplier.

               If the Company elects to reset the Spread and/or Spread
Multiplier of this Note, the Holder hereof will have the option to elect
repayment of this Note by the Company on any Optional Reset Date at a price
equal to the principal amount hereof plus any accrued interest to such Optional
Reset Date. In order for this Note to be so repaid on an Optional Reset Date,
the Holder hereof must follow the procedures set forth below for optional
repayment, except that the period for delivery of this Note or notification to
the Trustee shall be at least 25 but not more

                                       15
<PAGE>   16

than 35 days prior to such Optional Reset Date and except that a Holder who has
tendered this Note for repayment pursuant to a Reset Notice may, by written
notice to the Trustee, revoke any such tender for repayment until the close of
business on the tenth day prior to such Optional Reset Date.

               If the Company has the option to extend the Stated Maturity of
this Note for one or more periods (each an "Extension Period") up to but not
beyond the date (the "Final Maturity Date") set forth on the face hereof, such
option will be indicated on the face hereof together with the basis or formula,
if any, for setting the Spread and/or Spread Multiplier applicable to any such
Extension Period. The Company may exercise such option with respect to this Note
by notifying the Trustee of such exercise at least 45 but not more than 60 days
prior to the Stated Maturity in effect prior to the exercise of such option (the
"Original Stated Maturity"). No later than 40 days prior to the Original Stated
Maturity, the Trustee will mail to the Holder hereof a notice (the "Extension
Notice") relating to such Extension Period, first class, postage prepaid,
setting forth (i) the election of the Company to extend the Stated Maturity
hereof, (ii) the new Stated Maturity, (iii) the Spread and/or Spread Multiplier
applicable to the Extension Period, and (iv) the provisions, if any, for
redemption during the Extension Period, including the date or dates on which or
the period or periods during which and the price or prices at which such
redemption may occur during the Extension Period. Upon the mailing by the
Trustee of an Extension Notice to the Holder of this Note, the Stated Maturity
of this Note shall be extended automatically as set forth in the Extension
Notice, and, except as modified by the Extension Notice and as described in the
next paragraph, this Note will have the same terms as prior to the mailing of
such Extension Notice.

               Notwithstanding the foregoing, not later than 20 days prior to
the Original Stated Maturity for this Note, the Company may, at its option,
revoke the Spread and/or Spread Multiplier provided for in the Extension Notice
and establish a higher Spread and/or Spread Multiplier for the Extension Period
by mailing or causing the Trustee to mail notice of such higher Spread and/or
Spread Multiplier first class, postage prepaid, to the Holder hereof. Such
notice shall be irrevocable. All Notes with respect to which the Stated Maturity
is extended will bear such higher Spread and/or Spread Multiplier for the
Extension Period.

               If the Company elects to extend the Stated Maturity of this Note,
the Holder hereof will have the option to elect repayment of this Note by the
Company at the Original Stated Maturity at a price equal to the principal amount
hereof plus any accrued interest to such date. In order for this Note to be so
repaid on the Original Stated Maturity, the Holder hereof must follow the
procedures set forth below for optional repayment, except that the period for
delivery of this Note or notification to the Trustee shall be at least 25 but
not more than 35 days prior to the Original Stated Maturity and except that a
Holder who has tendered this Note for repayment pursuant to an Extension Notice
may, by written notice to the Trustee, revoke any such tender for repayment
until the close of business on the tenth day prior to the Original Stated
Maturity.

               Unless one or more Redemption Dates is specified on the face
hereof, this Note shall not be redeemable at the option of the Company before
the Maturity Date specified on the face hereof. If one or more Redemption Dates
(or ranges of Redemption Dates) is so specified, this Note is subject to
redemption on any such date (or during any such range) at the option of

                                       16
<PAGE>   17

the Company, upon notice by first-class mail, mailed not less than 30 days nor
more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date specified in such notice, at the
applicable Redemption Price specified on the face hereof (expressed as a
percentage of the principal amount of this Note), together in the case of any
such redemption with accrued interest to the Redemption Date, but interest
installments whose Stated Maturity is prior to the Redemption Date will be
payable to the Holder of this Note, or one or more Predecessor Notes, of record
at the close of business on the relevant Regular or Special Record Dates
referred to on the face hereof, all as provided in the Indenture. The Company
may elect to redeem less than the entire principal amount hereof, provided that
the principal amount, if any, of this Note that remains outstanding after such
redemption is an Authorized Denomination as defined herein.

               Unless one or more Repayment Dates is specified on the face
hereof, this Note shall not be repayable at the option of the Holder on any date
prior to the Maturity Date specified on the face hereof. If one or more
Repayment Dates (or ranges of Repayment Dates) is so specified, this Note is
subject to repayment on any such date (or during any such range) at the option
of the Holder at the applicable Repayment Price specified on the face hereof
(expressed as a percentage of the principal amount of this Note), together in
the case of any such repayment with accrued interest to the Repayment Date, but
interest installments whose Stated Maturity is prior to the Repayment Date will
be payable to the Holder of this Note, or one or more Predecessor Notes, of
record at the close of business on the relevant Regular or Special Record Dates
referred to on the face hereof, all as provided in the Indenture. For this Note
to be repaid at the option of the Holder, the Trustee must receive at the
principal office of its Corporate Trust Department in The City of
__________________, at least 30 days but not more than 45 days prior to the
Repayment Date on which this Note is to be repaid, this Note and a statement
that the option to elect repayment is being exercised thereby. Exercise of the
repayment option by the Holder shall be irrevocable except to the extent
permitted in connection with an interest rate reset or an extension of maturity,
each as described above. The repayment option with respect to this Note may be
exercised by the Holder for less than the entire principal amount hereof,
provided that the principal amount, if any, of this Note that remains
outstanding after such repayment is an Authorized Denomination as defined
herein.

               [Insert if the Security is to be a Certificated Security - In the
event of redemption or repayment of this Note in part only, a new Note or Notes
of this series and of like tenor and for a principal amount equal to the
unredeemed or unrepaid portion will be delivered to the registered Holder upon
the cancellation hereof.]

               [Insert if the Security is to be a Global Security - In the event
of redemption or repayment of this Note in part only, the principal amount shall
be reduced.]

               If this is a Foreign Currency Note to be paid in United States
dollars, the United States dollar amount to be received in respect hereof will
be based upon the exchange rate as determined by the Exchange Rate Agent based
on the highest firm bid quotation for United States dollars received by such
Exchange Rate Agent at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the
second Business Day preceding the applicable payment date from three recognized
foreign exchange dealers in The City of New York selected by the Exchange Rate
Agent and approved by the Company (one of which may be the Exchange Rate Agent)
for the purchase by the quoting dealer, for settlement on such payment date, of
the aggregate amount of

                                       17
<PAGE>   18

the Specified Currency payable on such payment date in respect of this Note. If
no such bid quotations are available, payments will be made in the Specified
Currency, unless such Specified Currency is unavailable due to the imposition of
exchange controls or to other circumstances beyond the Company's control, in
which case the Company will be entitled to make payments in respect hereof in
United States dollars as provided below. All currency exchange costs will be
borne by the Holder hereof by deductions from such payments.

               If a Holder is to receive payments in a Specified Currency other
than United States dollars as described on the face hereof, payments of
principal of (and premium, if any) and interest will be paid in immediately
available funds by wire transfer to an account maintained by the Holder with a
bank designated by the Holder (which in the case of Global Securities will be
the Depositary or its nominee) on or prior to the Regular Record Date or at
least 15 days prior to Maturity, as the case may be, provided that such bank has
the appropriate facilities for such a payment in the Specified Currency,
provided, however, that with respect to payments of principal and premium, if
any, and interest at Maturity this Note is presented to the Trustee in time for
the Trustee to make such payment in accordance with its normal procedures, which
shall require presentation no later than two Business Days prior to Maturity in
order to ensure the availability of immediately available funds in the Specified
Currency at Maturity.

               If payment on this Note is required to be made in a Specified
Currency other than United States dollars and such currency is unavailable in
the good faith judgment of the Company due to the imposition of exchange
controls or to other circumstances beyond the Company's control, or is no longer
used by the government of the country issuing such currency or for the
settlement of transactions by public institutions of or within the international
banking community, then all payments with respect to this Note shall be made in
United States dollars until such currency is again available or so used. The
amount so payable on any date in such Specified Currency shall be converted into
United States dollars at a rate determined by the Exchange Rate Agent on the
basis of the Market Exchange Rate on the second Business Day prior to such
payment, or, if the Market Exchange Rate is not then available, the most
recently available Market Exchange Rate or as otherwise determined in good faith
by the Company if the foregoing is impracticable.

               If this is a Foreign Currency Note, in the event of an official
redenomination of such foreign currency (including, without limitation, an
official redenomination of a foreign currency that is a composite currency) the
obligations of the Company with respect to payments on this Note denominated in
such currency shall, in all cases, be deemed immediately following such
redenomination to provide for the payment of that amount of redenominated
currency representing the amount of such obligations immediately before such
redenomination. No adjustment will be made to any amount payable under this Note
as a result of (a) any change in the value of a foreign currency relative to any
other currency due solely to fluctuations in exchange rates or (b) any
redenomination of any component currency of any composite currency (unless such
composite currency is itself officially redenominated).

               If an Event of Default with respect to Notes of this series shall
occur and be continuing, the principal of the Notes of this series may be
declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the
Indenture.

               Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, if any Original
Issue Discount Note (as defined below) is redeemed by the Company or repaid at
the option of the Holder, each as described above, or if the principal of any
Original Issue Discount Note is declared to be due and payable immediately
pursuant to this paragraph, the amount of principal due and payable with respect
to this Note shall be limited to the sum of the aggregate principal amount of
this Note multiplied by the Issue Price (expressed as a percentage of the
aggregate principal amount) plus the original issue discount accrued from the
date of issue to the date of redemption, repayment or declaration, as
applicable, which accrual shall be calculated using the "interest method"
(computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles) in effect
on the date of redemption, repayment or declaration. Unless otherwise specified
on the face hereof, an Original Issue Discount Note is a Note which has a stated
redemption price at maturity that exceeds its Issue Price by at least 0.25% of
the stated redemption price at maturity, multiplied by the number of complete
years from the Original Issue Date to the Maturity Date for this Note.

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

               No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this
Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company,
which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of (and premium, if
any) and interest on this Note at the times, places and rate, and in the coin or
currency, herein prescribed. However, the Indenture limits the Holder's right to
enforce the Indenture and this Note.

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

               [Insert if the Security is a Global Security - This Note is a
Global Note and shall be exchangeable for Notes registered in the names of
Persons other than the Depositary with respect to this Global Note or its
nominee only if (A) such Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or
unable to continue as Depositary for this Global Note or at any time ceases to

1934, as amended, (B) the Company in its discretion executes and delivers to the
Trustee a Company Order that this Global Note shall be exchangeable or (C) there
shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default with respect to the
Notes. If this Global Note is exchangeable pursuant to the preceding sentence,
it shall be exchangeable for Notes issuable in denominations of $1,000 and any
integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof, registered in such names as such
Depositary shall direct.]

               The Notes of this series are issuable, in the case of Notes
denominated in United States dollars, in denominations of U.S. $______ and any
integral multiple of U.S. $______ in excess thereof and, in the case of Notes
denominated in a Specified Currency other than United States dollars, in the
authorized denominations set forth on the face hereof (in each case, an
"Authorized Denomination"). As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain
limitations set forth therein and as may be set forth on the face hereof, Notes
of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes
of this series of like tenor of a different Authorized Denomination, as
requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

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

               The Notes of this series may be issued in the form of one or more
Global Securities to The Depository Trust Company as depositary for the Global
Securities of this series (the "Depositary") or its nominee and registered in
the name of the Depositary or such nominee.

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

        No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of or interest
on this Note, or for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in respect hereof, or
based on or in respect of the Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto,
against any incorporator, stockholder, officer or director, as such, past,
present or future, of 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.

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

               All terms used in this Note which are defined in the Indenture
shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.
