there is more than an insubstantial risk that such Issuer Trust is or will be considered an "investment company"
that is required to be registered under the Investment Company Act, which change or prospective change becomes

         valid, binding and legal obligations of the Corporation;

accept such Officers' Certificate as conclusive evidence of the facts therein set forth and of the fact that all
Securities not listed therein are Outstanding for the purpose of any such determination.  Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, Securities of any series initially issued to an Issuer Trust that are owned by

Trust Agreement) experienced in such matters to the effect that, as a result of any amendment to, or change

of this Indenture, the Corporation shall furnish to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate stating that all
conditions precedent (including covenants compliance with which constitutes a condition precedent), if any,
provided for in this Indenture relating to the proposed action have been complied with and an Opinion of Counsel

give an opinion with respect to some matters and one or more other such Persons as to other matters, and any such
Person may certify or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents.

matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, counsel, unless such officer knows, or in the
exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to

representations by, an officer or officers of the Corporation stating that the information with respect to such
factual matters is in the possession of the Corporation, unless such counsel knows, or in the exercise of
reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to such matters are
erroneous.

         Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more applications, requests, consents,
certificates, statements, opinions, or other instruments under this Indenture, they may, but need not, be
consolidated and form one instrument.

Section 1.4.  Acts of Holders.

         (a)      Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided
by this Indenture to be given to 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 an agent duly appointed in writing; and,
except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or
instruments is or are delivered to the Trustee, and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Corporation.
Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes
referred to as the "Act" of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments.  Proof of execution of any such
instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and
(subject to Section 6.1) conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Corporation, if made in the manner provided
in this Section.

         (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 the certificate of any 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 or her the execution thereof. Where such execution is by a Person
acting in other than his or her individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute
sufficient proof of his or her authority.

         (c)      The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing, or the
authority of the Person executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner that the Trustee deems
sufficient and in accordance with such reasonable rules as the Trustee may determine.

         (d)      The ownership of Securities shall be proved by the Securities Register.

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

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

         The Trustee may set any day as a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of Outstanding
Securities of any series entitled to join in the giving or making of (i) any Notice of Default, (ii) any
declaration of acceleration referred to in Section 5.2, (iii) any request to institute proceedings referred to in
Section 5.7(2), or (iv) any direction referred to in Section 5.12, in each case with respect to Securities of
such series.  If any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding Securities of such
series on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be entitled to join in such notice, declaration, request
or direction, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date, provided that no such action
shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date by Holders of the
requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of such series on such record date.  Nothing in this
paragraph shall be construed to prevent the Trustee from setting a new record date for any action for which a
record date has previously been set pursuant to this paragraph (whereupon the record date previously set shall
automatically and with no action by any Person be cancelled and of no effect), and nothing in this paragraph
shall be construed to render ineffective any action taken by Holders of the requisite principal amount of
Outstanding Securities of the relevant series on the date such action is taken.  Promptly after any record date
is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Trustee, at the Corporation's expense, shall cause notice of such record
date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable Expiration Date to be given to the Corporation in writing
and to each Holder of Securities of the relevant series in the manner set forth in Section 1.6.

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

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

Section 1.5.  Notices, Etc. to Trustee and Corporation.

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

         (1)      the Trustee by any Holder, any holder of Capital Securities or the Corporation 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, or

         (2)      the Corporation by the Trustee, any Holder or any holder of Capital Securities shall be
sufficient for every purpose (except as otherwise provided in Section 5.1) hereunder if in writing and mailed,
first class, postage prepaid, to the Corporation addressed to it at the address of its principal office specified
in the first paragraph of this instrument or at any other address previously furnished in writing to the Trustee
by the Corporation.

Section 1.6.  Notice to Holders; Waiver.

         Where this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently
given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first class postage prepaid, to each
Holder affected by such event, at the address of such Holder as it appears in the Securities Register, not later
than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice.  If, by
reason of the suspension of or irregularities in regular mail service or for any other reason, it shall be
impossible or impracticable to mail notice of any event to Holders when said notice is required to be given
pursuant to any provision of this Indenture or of the relevant Securities, then any manner of giving such notice
as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee shall be deemed to be a sufficient giving of such notice.  In any case
where notice to Holders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice
so mailed, to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders.
Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person
entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of
such notice.  Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a
condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.

Section 1.7.  Conflict with Trust Indenture Act.

         Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Trust Indenture Act shall apply as a matter of
contract to this Indenture for purposes of interpretation, construction and defining the rights and obligations
hereunder, and this Indenture, the Corporation, and the Trustee shall be deemed for all purposes hereof to be
subject to and governed by the Trust Indenture Act to the same extent as would be the case if this Indenture were
qualified under that Act on the date hereof.  Except as otherwise provided herein, if and to the extent that any
provision of this Indenture 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) thereof, such imposed duties shall
control.

Section 1.8.  Effect of Headings and Table of Contents.

         The Article and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and shall not
affect the construction hereof.

Section 1.9.  Successors and Assigns.

         All covenants and agreements in this Indenture by the Corporation shall bind its successors and assigns,
whether so expressed or not.

Section 1.10.  Separability Clause.

         If any provision in this Indenture or in the Securities 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 1.11.  Benefits of Indenture.

         Nothing in this Indenture or in the Securities, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than
the parties hereto and their successors and assigns, the holders of Senior Indebtedness, the Holders of the
Securities and, to the extent expressly provided in Sections 5.2, 5.8, 5.9, 5.11, 5.13, 9.1 and 9.2, the holders
of Capital Securities, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture.

Section 1.12.  Governing Law.

         THIS INDENTURE AND THE SECURITIES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE
STATE OF NEW YORK.

Section 1.13.  Non-Business Days.

         If any Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated Maturity of any Security shall not be a Business
Day, then (notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or the Securities) payment of interest or
principal (and premium, if any) or other amounts in respect of such Security need not be made on such date, but
may be made on the next succeeding Business Day (and no interest shall accrue in respect of the amounts whose
payment is so delayed for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated
Maturity, as the case may be, until such next succeeding Business Day) except that, if such Business Day falls in
the next succeeding calendar year, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day (in each
case with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date or Redemption Date or at the Stated
Maturity).

for value received, hereby promises to pay to _______________, or registered assigns, the principal sum of
__________ Dollars on __________ __, [if the Security is a Global Security, then insert, if applicable--, or such
other principal amount represented hereby as may be set forth in the records of the Securities Registrar
hereinafter referred to in accordance with the Indenture,] [; provided that the Corporation may (i) shorten the
Stated Maturity of the principal of this Security to a date not earlier than __________, and (ii) extend the
Stated Maturity of the principal of this Security at any time on one or more occasions, subject to certain
conditions specified in Section 3.15 of the Indenture, but in no event to a date later than __________].  The
Corporation further promises to pay interest on said principal sum from _______________, ___ or from the most
recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, [monthly] [quarterly]
[semi-annually] [if applicable, insert-- (subject to deferral as set forth herein)] in arrears on [insert
applicable Interest Payment Dates] of each year, commencing _______________, ___, at the rate of ___% per annum,
[if applicable insert-- together with Additional Sums, if any, as provided in Section 10.6 of the Indenture]
until the principal hereof is paid or duly provided for or made available for payment [if applicable, insert--;
provided that any overdue principal, premium or Additional Sums and any overdue installment of interest shall
bear Additional Interest at the rate of____% per annum (to the extent that the payment of such interest shall be
legally enforceable), compounded [monthly] [quarterly] [semi-annually], from the dates such amounts are due until
they are paid or made available for payment, and such interest shall be payable on demand].  The amount of
interest payable for any period less than a full interest period shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year
of twelve 30-day months and the actual days elapsed in a partial month in such period.  The amount of interest
payable for any full interest period shall be computed by dividing the applicable rate per annum by
[twelve/four/two].  The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment

Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest
installment [if applicable insert--, which shall be the [____________ or ____________] (whether or not a Business
Day), as the case may be, next preceding such Interest Payment Date].  Any such interest not so punctually paid
or duly provided for shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and may either
be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the
close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee,
notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Securities of this series not less than 10 days prior to such Special
Record Date, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any
securities exchange on which the Securities of this series may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required
by such exchange, all as more fully provided in said Indenture.

         [If applicable, insert--So long as no Acceleration Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the
Corporation shall have the right, at any time during the term of this Security, from time to time to defer the
payment of interest on this Security for up to ______ consecutive [monthly] [quarterly] [semi-annual] interest
payment periods with respect to each deferral period (each an "Extension Period") [If applicable, insert--,
during which Extension Periods the Corporation shall have the right to make partial payments of interest on any
Interest Payment Date, and] at the end of which the Corporation shall pay all interest then accrued and unpaid
including any Additional Interest, as provided below; provided, however, that no Extension Period shall extend
beyond the Stated Maturity of the principal of this Security or Redemption Date applicable to this Security, and
no such Extension Period may end on a date other than an Interest Payment Date; and provided, further, however,
that during any such Extension Period, the Corporation shall not (i) make any payment of principal of or interest
or premium, if any, on or repay, repurchase or redeem any Debt of the Corporation that ranks pari passu in all
respects with or junior in interest to this Security, or (ii) declare or pay any dividends or distributions on,
or redeem, purchase, acquire or make a liquidation payment with respect to, any of the Corporation's capital
stock (other than (a) repurchases, redemptions or other acquisitions of shares of capital stock of the
Corporation in connection with any employment contract, benefit plan or other similar arrangement with or for the
benefit of any one or more employees, officers, directors or consultants, in connection with a dividend
reinvestment or stockholder stock purchase plan or in connection with the issuance of capital stock of the
Corporation (or securities convertible into or exercisable for such capital stock) as consideration in an
acquisition transaction entered into prior to the applicable Extension Period, (b) as a result of an exchange or
conversion of any class or series of the Corporation's capital stock (or any capital stock of a Subsidiary of the
Corporation) for any class or series of the Corporation's capital stock or of any class or series of the
Corporation's indebtedness for any class or series of the Corporation's capital stock, (c) the purchase of
fractional interests in shares of the Corporation's capital stock pursuant to the conversion or exchange
provisions of such capital stock or the security being converted or exchanged, (d) any declaration of a dividend
in connection with any Rights Plan, or the issuance of rights, stock or other property under any Rights Plan, or
the redemption or repurchase of rights pursuant thereto, or (e) any dividend in the form of stock, warrants,
options or other rights where the dividend stock or the stock issuable upon exercise of such warrants, options or
other rights is the same stock as that on which the dividend is being paid or ranks pari passu with or junior to
such stock).  Prior to the termination of any such Extension Period, the Corporation may further defer the
payment of interest, provided that no Extension Period shall exceed ______ consecutive [monthly] [quarterly]
[semi-annual] interest payment periods, extend beyond the Stated Maturity of the principal of this Security or
Redemption Date applicable to this Security, or (except with respect to a Redemption Date) end on a date other
than an Interest Payment Date.  Upon the termination of any such Extension Period and upon the payment of all
accrued and unpaid interest and any Additional Interest then due on any Interest Payment Date, the Corporation
may elect to begin a new Extension Period, subject to the above conditions.  No interest shall be due and payable
during an Extension Period, except at the end thereof, but each installment of interest that would otherwise have
been due and payable during such Extension shall bear Additional Interest (to the extent that the payment of such
interest shall be legally enforceable) at the rate of ____% per annum, compounded [monthly] [quarterly]
[semi-annually] and calculated as set forth in the first paragraph of this section, from the dates on which
amounts would otherwise have been due and payable until paid or made available for payment.  The Corporation
shall give the Holder of this Security and the Trustee notice of its election to begin any Extension Period no
less than one Business Day and in no case more than 15 Business Days prior to the next succeeding Interest
Payment Date on which interest on this Security would be payable but for such deferral [if applicable, insert--or
so long as such Securities are held by [insert name of applicable Issuer Trust], at least one Business Day prior
to the earlier of (i) the next succeeding date on which Distributions on the Capital Securities of such Issuer
Trust would be payable but for such deferral, and (ii) in the case of payments of any Redemption Price, the date
on which the Property Trustee of such Issuer Trust is required to give notice to holders of such Capital
Securities of the record date or the date such Distributions are payable].

         Payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on this Security will be made at the
office or agency of the Corporation maintained for that purpose in the [insert Place of Payment], in such coin or
currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and
private debts [if applicable, insert--; provided, however, that at the option of the Corporation payment of
interest may be made (i) by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall
appear in the Securities Register, or (ii) by wire transfer in immediately available funds at such place and to
such account as may be designated by the Person entitled thereto as specified in the Securities Register].

         The indebtedness evidenced by this Security is, to the extent provided in the Indenture, subordinate and
junior in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness, and this Security is issued
subject to the provisions of the Indenture with respect thereto.  Each Holder of this Security, by accepting the
same, (a) agrees to and shall be bound by such provisions, (b) authorizes and directs the Trustee on his or her
behalf to take such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination so provided, and
(c) appoints the Trustee his or her attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes.  Each Holder hereof, by his
or her acceptance hereof, waives all notice of the acceptance of the subordination provisions contained herein
and in the Indenture by each holder of Senior Indebtedness, whether now outstanding or hereafter incurred, and
waives reliance by each such holder upon said provisions.

         Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Security set forth on the reverse hereof,
which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place.

         Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee referred to on the
reverse hereof by manual signature, this Security shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be
valid or obligatory for any purpose.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Corporation has caused this instrument to be duly executed under its corporate
seal.

         Securities of such series that shall be payable upon declaration of acceleration of the Maturity thereof;

                  (m)      if the principal amount payable at the Stated Maturity of any Securities of the series
         will not be determinable as of any one or more dates prior to the Stated Maturity, the amount which
         shall be deemed to be the principal amount of such Securities as of any such date for any purpose
         thereunder or hereunder, including the principal amount thereof which shall be due and payable upon any
         Maturity other than the Stated Maturity or which shall be deemed to be Outstanding as of any date prior
         to the Stated Maturity (or, in any such case, the manner in which such amount deemed to be the principal
         amount shall be determined);

                  (n)      the additions or changes, if any, to this Indenture with respect to the Securities of
         such series as shall be necessary to permit or facilitate the issuance of the Securities of such series
         in bearer form, registrable or not registrable as to principal, and with or without interest coupons;

         premium, if any, on the Securities of such series or the manner in which such amounts will be determined;

                  (p)      if applicable, that any Securities of the series shall be issuable in whole or in part
         in the form of one or more Global Securities and, in such case, the respective Depositaries for such
         Global Securities, the form of any legend or legends that shall be borne by any such Global Security in
         addition to or in lieu of that set forth in Section 2.4 and any circumstances in addition to or in lieu
         of those set forth in Section 3.6 in which any such Global Security may be exchanged in whole or in part
         for Securities registered, and any transfer of such Global Security in whole or in part may be
         registered, in the name or names of Persons other than the Depositary for such Global Security or a
         nominee thereof;

                  (q)      the appointment of any Paying Agent or agents for the Securities of such series;

                  (r)      the terms of any right to convert or exchange Securities of such series into any other
         securities or property of the Corporation, and the additions or changes, if any, to this Indenture with
         respect to the Securities of such series to permit or facilitate such conversion or exchange;

                  (s)      if such Securities are to be issued to an Issuer Trust, the form or forms of the Trust
         Agreement and Guarantee Agreement relating thereto;

                  (t)      if other than as set forth herein, the relative degree, if any, to which the
         Securities of the series shall be senior to or be subordinated to other series of Securities in right of
         payment, whether such other series of Securities are Outstanding or not;

                  (u)      any addition to or change in the Events of Default which applies to any Securities of
         the series and any change in the right of the Trustee or the requisite Holders of such Securities to
         declare the principal amount thereof due and payable pursuant to Section 5.2;

                  (v)      any addition to or change in the covenants set forth in Article X which applies to
         Securities of the series; and

                  (w)      any other terms of the Securities of such series (which terms shall not be
         inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture, except as permitted by Section 9.1(6)).

         All Securities of any one series shall be substantially identical except as to denomination and except
as may otherwise be provided herein or in or pursuant to such Board Resolution and set forth, or determined in
the manner provided, in such Officers' Certificate or in any 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
Corporation and delivered to the Trustee at or prior to the delivery of the Officers' Certificate setting forth
the terms of the series.

         The Securities shall be subordinated in right of payment to Senior Indebtedness as provided in Article
XIII.

Section 3.2.  Denominations.

         The Securities of each series shall be in registered form without coupons and shall be issuable in
denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof, unless otherwise specified as
contemplated by Section 3.1.

Section 3.3.  Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating.

         The Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Corporation by its Chairman of the Board, its Vice
Chairman of the Board, its President or one of its Vice Presidents, under its corporate seal reproduced or
impressed thereon and attested by its Secretary or one of its Assistant Secretaries.  The signature of any of
these officers on the Securities may be manual or facsimile.

         Securities bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper
officers of the Corporation shall bind the Corporation, 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 Corporation may deliver Securities of any series executed by the Corporation to the Trustee
for authentication, together with a Corporation Order for the authentication and delivery of such Securities, and
the Trustee in accordance with the Corporation Order shall authenticate and deliver such Securities.  If the form
or terms of the Securities of the series have been established by or pursuant to one or more Board Resolutions as
permitted by Sections 2.1 and 3.1, in authenticating such Securities, and accepting the additional
responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Securities, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive,
and (subject to Section 6.1) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating,

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

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

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

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

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

         Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication.

         No Security shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any
purpose, unless there appears on such Security a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided
for herein executed by the Trustee by the manual signature of one of its authorized officers, and such
certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security has been
duly authenticated and delivered hereunder.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Security shall have been
authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the Corporation, and the Corporation shall
deliver such Security to the Trustee for cancellation as provided in Section 3.10, for all purposes of this
Indenture such Security shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall never
be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.

Section 3.4.  Temporary Securities.

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

         If temporary Securities of any series are issued, the Corporation will cause definitive Securities of
such series to be prepared without unreasonable delay.  After the preparation of definitive Securities, the
temporary Securities shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities upon surrender of the temporary Securities
at the office or agency of the Corporation designated for that purpose without charge to the Holder.  Upon
surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Securities, the Corporation shall execute and the Trustee
shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor one or more definitive Securities of the same series, of any
authorized denominations having the same Original Issue Date and Stated Maturity and having the same terms as
such temporary Securities.  Until so exchanged, the temporary Securities of any series shall in all respects be
entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities of such series.

Section 3.5.  Global Securities.

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

         (b)      Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, no Global Security may be exchanged in
whole or in part for Securities registered, and no transfer of a Global Security in whole or in part may be
registered, in the name of any Person other than the Depositary for such Global Security or a nominee thereof
unless (i) such Depositary advises the Trustee in writing that such Depositary is no longer willing or able to
properly discharge its responsibilities as Depositary with respect to such Global Security, and the Corporation
is unable to locate a qualified successor, (ii) the Corporation executes and delivers to the Trustee a
Corporation Order stating that the Corporation elects to terminate the book-entry system through the Depositary,
(iii) there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default, or (iv) in the case of a transfer of a
beneficial interest in such Security to a Person that is not a "qualified institutional buyer" within the meaning
of Rule 144A under the Securities Act, upon reasonable prior notice of such transfer by the Depositary or its
authorized representative to the Securities Registrar and delivery to the Securities Registrar of a Restricted
Securities Certificate duly authorized by the Depositary or its authorized representative to the Securities
Registrar and delivery to the Securities Registrar of a Restricted Securities Certificate duly authorized by the
Depositary or its authorized representatives.

         (c)      If any Global Security is to be exchanged for other Securities or cancelled in whole, it shall
be surrendered by or on behalf of the Depositary or its nominee to the Securities Registrar for exchange or
cancellation as provided in this Article III.  If any Global Security is to be exchanged for other Securities or
cancelled in part, or if another Security is to be exchanged in whole or in part for a beneficial interest in any
Global Security, then either (i) such Global Security shall be so surrendered for exchange or cancellation as
provided in this Article III or (ii) the principal amount thereof shall be reduced, subject to Section 3.6(b)(v),
or increased by an amount equal to the portion thereof to be so exchanged or cancelled, or equal to the principal
amount of such other Security to be so exchanged for a beneficial interest therein, as the case may be, by means
of an appropriate adjustment made on the records of the Securities Registrar, whereupon the Trustee, in
accordance with the Applicable Procedures, shall instruct the Depositary or its authorized representative to make
a corresponding adjustment to its records.  Upon any such surrender or adjustment of a Global Security by the
Depositary, accompanied by registration instructions, the Trustee shall, subject to Section 3.5(b) and as
otherwise provided in this Article III, authenticate and deliver any Securities issuable in exchange for such
Global Security (or any portion thereof) in accordance with the instructions of the Depositary.  The Trustee
shall not be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be
fully protected in relying on, such instructions.

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

         (e)      Securities distributed to holders of Book-Entry Capital Securities (as defined in the
applicable Trust Agreement) upon the dissolution of an Issuer Trust shall be distributed in the form of one or
more Global Securities registered in the name of a Depositary or its nominee, and deposited with the Securities
Registrar, as custodian for such Depositary, or with such Depositary, for credit by the Depositary to the
respective accounts of the beneficial owners of the Securities represented thereby (or such other accounts as
they may direct).  Securities distributed to holders of Capital Securities other than  Book-Entry Capital
Securities upon the dissolution of an Issuer Trust shall not be issued in the form of a Global Security or any
other form intended to facilitate book-entry trading in beneficial interests in such Securities.

         (f)      The Depositary or its nominee, as the registered owner of a Global Security, shall be the
Holder of such Global Security for all purposes under this Indenture and the Securities, and owners of beneficial
interests in a Global Security shall hold such interests pursuant to the Applicable Procedures.  Accordingly, any
such owner's beneficial interest in a Global Security shall be shown only on, and the transfer of such interest
shall be effected only through, records maintained by the Depositary or its nominee or its Agent Members.
Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Registrar shall have any liability in respect of any transfers effected by
the Depositary.

         (g)      The rights of owners of beneficial interests in a Global Security shall be exercised only
through the Depositary and shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such owners and
the Depositary and/or its Agent Members.

Section 3.6.  Registration, Transfer and Exchange Generally; Certain Transfers and Exchanges; Securities
         Act Legends.

         (a)      The Corporation shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee a register
in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Corporation shall provide for the
registration of Securities and of transfers of Securities.  Such register is herein sometimes referred to as the
"Securities Register." The Trustee is hereby appointed "Securities Registrar" for the purpose of registering
Securities and transfers of Securities as herein provided.

         Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Security at the offices or agencies of the
Corporation designated for that purpose the Corporation shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Securities of the same series
of any authorized denominations of like tenor and aggregate principal amount and bearing such restrictive legends
as may be required by this Indenture.

         At the option of the Holder, Securities may be exchanged for other Securities of the same series of any
authorized denominations, of like tenor and aggregate principal amount and bearing such restrictive legends as
may be required by this Indenture, upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged at such office or agency.
Whenever any securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Corporation shall execute, and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver, the Securities that the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

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

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

         No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any transfer or exchange of Securities, but the
Corporation may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be
imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Securities.

         Neither the Corporation nor the Trustee shall be required, pursuant to the provisions of this Section,
(i) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Security of any series during a period beginning at the
opening of business 15 days before the day of selection for redemption of Securities of that series pursuant to
Article XI and ending at the close of business on the day of mailing of the notice of redemption, or (ii) to
register the transfer of or exchange any Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except, in the
case of any such Security to be redeemed in part, any portion thereof not to be redeemed.

         (b)      Certain Transfers and Exchanges.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture,
transfers and exchanges of Securities and beneficial interests in a Global Security shall be made only in
accordance with this Section 3.6(b).

                  (i)      Restricted Non-Global Security to Global Security.  If the Holder of a Restricted
Security (other than a Global Security) wishes at any time to transfer all or any portion of such Security to a
Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in a Global Security, such
transfer may be effected only in accordance with the provisions of this Clause (b)(i) and subject to the
Applicable Procedures.  Upon receipt by the Securities Registrar of (A) such Security as provided in Section
3.6(a) and instructions satisfactory to the Securities Registrar directing that a beneficial interest in the
Global Security in a specified principal amount not greater than the principal amount of such Security be
credited to a specified Agent Member's account and (B) a Restricted Securities Certificate duly executed by such
Holder or such Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, then the Securities Registrar shall cancel such
Security (and issue a new Security in respect of any untransferred portion thereof) as provided in Section 3.6(a)
and increase the aggregate principal amount of the Global Security by the specified principal amount as provided
as provided in Section 3.5(c).

                  (ii)     Non-Global Security to Non-Global Security.  A Security that is not a Global Security
may be transferred, in whole or in part, to a Person who takes delivery in the form of another Security that is
not a Global Security as provided in Section 3.6(a), provided that if the Security to be transferred in whole or
in part is a Restricted Security, the Securities Registrar shall have received a Restricted Securities
Certificate duly executed by the transferor Holder or such Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing.

                  (iii)    Exchanges Between Global Security and Non-Global Security.  A beneficial interest in a
Global Security may be exchanged for a Security that is not a Global Security as provided in Section 3.5.

                  (iv)     Certain Initial Transfers of Non-Global Securities.  In the case of Securities
initially issued other than in global form, an initial transfer or exchange of such Securities that does not
involve any change in beneficial ownership may be made to an Institutional Accredited Investor or Investors as if
such transfer or exchange were not an initial transfer or exchange; provided that written certification shall be
provided by the transferee and transferor of such Securities to the Securities Registrar that such transfer or
exchange does not involve a change in beneficial ownership.

                  (v)      Limitations relating to Principal Amount.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Indenture and unless otherwise specified as permitted by Section 3.1, Securities or portions thereof may be
transferred or exchanged only in principal amounts of not less than $100,000.  Any transfer, exchange or other
disposition of Securities in contravention of this Section 3.6(b)(v) shall be deemed to be void and of no legal
effect whatsoever, any such transferee shall be deemed not to be the Holder or owner of any beneficial interest
in such Securities for any purpose, including but not limited to the receipt of interest payable on such
Securities, and such transferee shall be deemed to have no interest whatsoever in such Securities.

         (c)      Restricted Securities Legend.  Except as set forth below, all Securities shall bear a
Restricted Securities Legend:

                  (i)      subject to the following Clauses of this Section 3.6(c), a Security or any portion
         thereof that is exchanged, upon transfer or otherwise, for a Global Security or any portion thereof
         shall bear the Restricted Securities Legend while represented thereby;

                  (ii)     subject to the following Clauses of this Section 3.6(c), a new Security which is not a
         Global Security and is issued in exchange for another Security (including a Global Security) or any
         portion thereof, upon transfer or otherwise, shall bear a Restricted Securities Legend;

                  (iii)    a new Security (other than a Global Security) that does not bear a Restricted
         Securities Legend may be issued in exchange for or in lieu of a Restricted Security or any portion
         thereof that bears such a legend if, in the Corporation's judgment, placing such a legend upon such new
         Security is not necessary to ensure compliance with the registration requirements of the Securities Act,
         and the Trustee, at the written direction of the Corporation in the form of an Officers' Certificate,
         shall authenticate and deliver such a new Security as provided in this Article III;

                  (iv)     notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.6(c), a Successor Security
         of a Security that does not bear a Restricted Securities Legend shall not bear such form of legend
         unless the Corporation has reasonable cause to believe that such Successor Security is a "restricted
         security" within the meaning of Rule 144, in which case the Trustee, at the written direction of the
         Corporation in the form of an Officers' Certificate, shall authenticate and deliver a new Security
         bearing a Restricted Securities Legend in exchange for such Successor Security as provided in this
         Article III; and

                  (v)      Securities distributed to a holder of Capital Securities upon dissolution of an Issuer
         Trust shall bear a Restricted Securities Legend if the Capital Securities so held bear a similar legend.

Section 3.7.  Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities.

         If any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee together with such security or indemnity as may
be required by the Corporation or the Trustee to save each of them harmless, the Corporation shall execute and
the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a new Security of the same series, of like tenor
and aggregate principal amount, bearing the same legends, and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

         If there shall be delivered to the Corporation and to the Trustee (i) evidence to their satisfaction of
the destruction, loss or theft of any Security, and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be required by them to
save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Corporation or the Trustee that such Security
has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Corporation shall execute and upon its request the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new Security of the same
series, of like tenor and aggregate principal amount and bearing the same legends as such destroyed, lost or
stolen Security, and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

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

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

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

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

Section 3.8.  Payment of Interest and Additional Interest; Interest Rights Preserved.

         Interest and Additional Interest on any Security of any series that 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 in respect of Securities of such series, except that, unless otherwise provided in the Securities of
such series, interest and any Additional Interest payable on the Stated Maturity of the principal of a Security
shall be paid to the Person to whom principal is paid.  The initial payment of interest on any Security of any
series that is issued between a Regular Record Date and the related Interest Payment Date shall be payable as
provided in such Security or in the Board Resolution pursuant to Section 3.1 with respect to the related series
of Securities.

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

                  (1)      The Corporation may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in
whose names the Securities of such series in respect of which interest is in default (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 Corporation shall notify the Trustee in
writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Security and the date of the proposed
payment, and at the same time the Corporation shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the
aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements
satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited
to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this Clause
provided.  Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest,
which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not
less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment.  The Trustee shall
promptly notify the Corporation of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the
Corporation, 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 a Security of such series at the address
of such Holder as it appears in the Securities Register not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date.
The Trustee may, in its discretion, in the name and at the expense of the Corporation, cause a similar notice to
be published at least once in a newspaper, customarily published in the English language on each Business Day and
of general circulation in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, but such publication shall not be a
condition precedent to the establishment of such Special Record Date.  Notice of the proposed payment of such
Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been mailed as aforesaid, such Defaulted Interest
shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Securities of such series (or their respective Predecessor
Securities) are registered on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following
Clause (2).

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

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

Section 3.9.  Persons Deemed Owners.

         The Corporation, the Trustee and any agent of the Corporation or the Trustee shall treat the Person in
whose name any Security is registered as the owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of
principal of and (subject to Section 3.8) any interest on such Security and for all other purposes whatsoever,
whether or not such Security be overdue, and neither the Corporation, the Trustee nor any agent of the
Corporation or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

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

Section 3.10.  Cancellation.

         All Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, transfer or exchange shall, if surrendered to any
Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee, and any such Securities and Securities surrendered
directly to the Trustee for any such purpose shall be promptly canceled by it.  The Corporation may at any time
deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and delivered hereunder that the
Corporation may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Securities so delivered shall be promptly
canceled by the Trustee.  No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Securities
canceled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture.  All canceled Securities
shall be destroyed by the Trustee and the Trustee shall deliver to the Corporation a certificate of such
destruction.

Section 3.11.  Computation of Interest.

         Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.1 for Securities of any series, interest on
the Securities of each series for any partial period shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve
30-day months and the actual number of days elapsed in any partial month in such period, and interest on the
Securities of each series for a full period shall be computed by dividing the rate per annum by the number of
interest periods that together constitute a full twelve months.

Section 3.12.  Deferrals of Interest Payment Dates.

         If specified as contemplated by Section 2.1 or Section 3.1 with respect to the Securities of a
particular series, so long as no Acceleration Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Corporation
shall have the right, at any time during the term of such series, from time to time to defer the payment of
interest on such Securities for such period or periods as may be specified as contemplated by Section 3.1 (each,
an "Extension Period"), during which Extension Periods the Corporation shall, if so specified as contemplated by
Section 3.1, have the right to make partial payments of interest on any Interest Payment Date.  No Extension
Period shall end on a date other than an Interest Payment Date.  At the end of any such Extension Period the
Corporation shall pay all interest then accrued and unpaid on the Securities (together with Additional Interest
thereon, if any, at the rate specified for the Securities of such series to the extent permitted by applicable
law); provided, however, that no Extension Period shall extend beyond the Stated Maturity of the principal or the
Redemption Date (if applicable) of the Securities of such series; and provided further, however that during any
such Extension Period, the Corporation shall not (i) make any payment of principal of or interest or premium, if
any, on or repay, repurchase or redeem any Debt of the Corporation that ranks pari passu in all respects with or
junior in interest to the Securities of such series, or (ii) declare or pay any dividends or distributions on, or
redeem, purchase, acquire or make a liquidation payment with respect to, any of the Corporation's capital stock
(other than (a) repurchases, redemptions or other acquisitions of shares of capital stock of the Corporation in
connection with any employment contract, benefit plan or other similar arrangement with or for the benefit of any
one or more employees, officers, directors or consultants, in connection with a dividend reinvestment or
stockholder stock purchase plan or in connection with the issuance of capital stock of the Corporation (or
securities convertible into or exercisable for such capital stock) as consideration in an acquisition transaction
entered into prior to the applicable Extension Period, (b) as a result of an exchange or conversion of any class
or series of the Corporation's capital stock (or any capital stock of a Subsidiary of the Corporation) for any
class or series of the Corporation's capital stock or of any class or series of the Corporation's indebtedness
for any class or series of the Corporation's capital stock, (c) the purchase of fractional interests in shares of
the Corporation's capital stock pursuant to the conversion or exchange provisions of such capital stock or the
security being converted or exchanged, (d) any declaration of a dividend in connection with any Rights Plan, or
the issuance of rights, stock or other property under any Rights Plan, or the redemption or repurchase of rights
pursuant thereto, or (e) any dividend in the form of stock, warrants, options or other rights where the dividend
stock or the stock issuable upon exercise of such warrants, options or other rights is the same stock as that on
which the dividend is being paid or ranks pari passu with or junior to such stock).  Prior to the termination of
any such Extension Period, the Corporation may further defer the payment of interest, provided that no
Acceleration Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and provided, further that no Extension Period
shall exceed the period or periods specified in such Securities, extend beyond the Stated Maturity of the
principal or the Redemption Date (if applicable) of such Securities, or (except with respect to a Redemption
Date) end on a date other than an Interest Payment Date.  Upon the termination of any such Extension Period and
upon the payment of all accrued and unpaid interest and any Additional Interest then due on any Interest Payment
Date, the Corporation may elect to begin a new Extension Period, subject to the above conditions.  No interest or
Additional Interest shall be due and payable during an Extension Period, except at the end thereof, but each
installment of interest that would otherwise have been due and payable during such Extension Period shall bear
Additional Interest as and to the extent as may be specified as contemplated by Section 3.1.  The Corporation
shall give the Holders of the Securities of such series and the Trustee notice of its election to begin any such
Extension Period at least one Business Day and in no case more than 15 Business Days prior to the next succeeding
Interest Payment Date on which interest on Securities of such series would be payable but for such deferral, or
with respect to any Securities of a series issued to an Issuer Trust, so long as any such Securities are held by
such Issuer Trust, at least one Business Day prior to the earlier of (i) the next succeeding date on which
Distributions on the Capital Securities of such Issuer Trust would be payable but for such deferral, and (ii) in
the case of payments of any Redemption Price, the date on which the Property Trustee of such Issuer Trust is
required to give notice to holders of such Capital Securities of the record date or the date such Distributions
are payable.

         The Trustee shall promptly give notice of the Corporation's election to begin any such Extension Period
to the Holders of the Outstanding Securities of such series.

Section 3.13.  Right of Set-Off.

         With respect to the Securities of a series initially issued to an Issuer Trust, notwithstanding anything
to the contrary herein, the Corporation shall have the right to set-off any payment it is otherwise required to
make in respect of any such Security to the extent the Corporation has theretofore made, or is concurrently on
the date of such payment making, a payment under the Guarantee Agreement relating to such Security or to a holder
of Capital Securities pursuant to an action undertaken under Section 5.8 of this Indenture.

Section 3.14.  Agreed Tax Treatment.

         Each Security issued hereunder shall provide that the Corporation and, by its acceptance of a Security
or a beneficial interest therein, the Holder of, and any Person that acquires a beneficial interest in, such
Security agree that for United States Federal, state and local tax purposes it is intended that such Security
constitutes indebtedness.

Section 3.15.  Shortening or Extension of Stated Maturity.

         If specified as contemplated by Section 2.1 or Section 3.1 with respect to the Securities of a
particular series, the Corporation shall have the right to (i) shorten the Stated Maturity of the principal of
the Securities of such series at any time to any date, and (ii) extend the Stated Maturity of the principal of
the Securities of such series at any time at its election for one or more periods, provided that, if the
Corporation elects to exercise its right to extend the Stated Maturity of the principal of the Securities of such
series pursuant to Clause (ii) above, at the time such election is made and at the time of extension, such
conditions as may be specified in such Securities shall have been satisfied.

Section 3.16.  CUSIP Numbers.

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

                                            Satisfaction and Discharge

Section 4.1.  Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture.

         This Indenture shall, upon Corporation Request, cease to be of further effect (except as to any
surviving rights of registration of transfer or exchange of Securities herein expressly provided for and as
otherwise provided in this Section 4.1) and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Corporation,
shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, when

                  (1)      either:

                           (A)      all Securities theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than (i)
                  Securities that have been destroyed, lost or stolen and that have been replaced or paid as
                  provided in Section 3.7 and (ii) Securities for whose payment money has theretofore been
                  deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Corporation and thereafter repaid to
                  the Corporation or discharged from such trust, as provided in Section 10.3) have been delivered
                  to the Trustee for cancellation; or

                           (B)      all such Securities not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation

                                    (i)     have become due and payable, or

                                    (ii)    will become due and payable at their Stated Maturity within one year
                           of the date of deposit, or

                                    (iii)   are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements
                           satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in
                           the name, and at the expense, of the Corporation,

                  and the Corporation, in the case of subclause (B)(i), (ii) or (iii) above, has deposited or
                  caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust for such purpose an amount in
                  the currency or currencies in which the Securities of such series are payable sufficient to pay
                  and discharge the entire indebtedness on such Securities not theretofore delivered to the
                  Trustee for cancellation, for principal (and premium, if any) and interest (including any
                  Additional Interest) to the date of such deposit (in the case of Securities that have become
                  due and payable) or to the Stated Maturity or Redemption Date, as the case may be;

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

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

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

Section 4.2.  Application of Trust Money.

         Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 10.3, all money deposited with the Trustee
pursuant to Section 4.1 shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of
the Securities and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the
Corporation acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the
principal (and premium, if any) and interest (including any Additional Interest) for the payment of which such
money or obligations have been deposited with or received by the Trustee.


                                                     ARTICLE V

                                                     Remedies

Section 5.1.  Events of Default.

         "Event of Default", wherever used herein with respect to the Securities of any series, means any one of
the following events (whatever the reason for such Event of 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) except as may be specified pursuant to
Section 3.1:

                  (1)      default in the payment of any interest upon any Security of that series, including any
         Additional Interest in respect thereof, when it becomes due and payable, and continuance of such default
         for a period of 30 days (subject to the deferral of any due date in the case of an Extension Period); or

                  (2)      default in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any Security of
         that series at its Maturity; or

                  (3)      failure on the part of the Corporation duly to observe or perform any other of the
         covenants or agreements on the part of the Corporation in the Securities of that series or in this
         Indenture for a period of 90 days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the
         Corporation to remedy the same, shall have been given to the Corporation by the Trustee by registered or
         certified mail or to the Corporation and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate
         principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series; or

                  (4)      the entry of a decree or order by a court having jurisdiction in the premises
         adjudging the Corporation a bankrupt or insolvent, or approving as properly filed a petition seeking
         reorganization of the Corporation under the Bankruptcy Code or any other similar applicable Federal or
         State law, which decree or order shall have continued undischarged and unstayed for a period of 60 days;
         or the entry of a decree or order of a court having jurisdiction in the premises for the appointment of
         a receiver or liquidator or trustee or assignee in bankruptcy or insolvency of the Corporation or of its
         property, or for the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, which decree or order shall have
         continued undischarged and unstayed for a period of 60 days; or

                  (5)      the commencement by the Corporation of voluntary proceedings to be adjudicated a
         bankrupt, or consent by the Corporation to the filing of a bankruptcy proceeding against it, or the
         filing by the Corporation of a petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization under the Bankruptcy
         Code or any other similar Federal or State law, or consent by the Corporation to the filing of any such
         petition, or the consent by the Corporation to the appointment of a receiver or liquidator or trustee or
         assignee in bankruptcy or insolvency of it or of its property, or the making by the Corporation of an
         assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the admission by the Corporation in writing of its inability
         to pay its debts generally as they become due;

                  (6)      the nonpayment of interest on Securities for ten or more consecutive semi-annual
         periods; or

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

Section 5.2.  Acceleration Event of Default; Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.

         If an Acceleration Event of Default under Section 5.1(6) with respect to Securities of any series at the
time Outstanding occurs and is continuing, then and in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less
than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series may declare the principal
amount (or, if the Securities of that series are Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may
be specified in the terms of that series) of all the Securities of that series to be due and payable immediately,
by a notice in writing to the Corporation (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), provided that, in the case of
the Securities of a series issued to an Issuer Trust, if, upon an Acceleration Event of Default under Section
5.1(6), the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such
series fail to declare the principal of all the Outstanding Securities of such series to be immediately due and
payable, the holders of at least 25% in aggregate Liquidation Amount (as defined in the related Trust Agreement)
of the related series of Capital Securities issued by such Issuer Trust then outstanding shall have the right to
make such declaration by a notice in writing to the Corporation and the Trustee; and upon any such declaration
such principal amount (or specified portion thereof) of and the accrued interest (including any Additional
Interest) on all the Securities of such series shall become immediately due and payable.  If an Acceleration
Event of Default specified in Section 5.1(4) or 5.1(5) with respect to Securities of any series at the time
Outstanding occurs, the principal amount of all the Securities of such series (or, if the Securities of such
series are Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount of such Securities as may be specified by
the terms of that series) shall automatically, and without any declaration or other action on the part of the
Trustee or any Holder, become immediately due and payable.  Payment of principal and interest (including any
Additional Interest) on such Securities shall remain subordinated to the extent provided in Article XIII
notwithstanding that such amount shall become immediately due and payable as herein provided.

         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 aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities
of that series, by written notice to the Corporation and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and
its consequences if:

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

                           (A)      all overdue installments of interest on all Securities of such series,

                           (B)      any accrued Additional Interest on all Securities of such series,

                           (C)      the principal of (and premium, if any, on) any Securities of such series that
                  have become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration and interest and Additional
                  Interest thereon at the rate borne by the 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)      the applicable Acceleration Event of Default with respect to Securities of that
         series, other than the non-payment of the principal of Securities of that series that has become due
         solely by such acceleration, has been cured or waived as provided in Section 5.13.

         In the case of Securities of a series initially issued to an Issuer Trust, if the Holders of such
Securities fail to annul such declaration and waive such default, the holders of a majority in aggregate
Liquidation Amount (as defined in the related Trust Agreement) of the related series of Capital Securities issued
by such Issuer Trust then outstanding shall also have the right to rescind and annul such declaration and its
consequences by written notice to the Corporation and the Trustee, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions
set forth in Clauses (1) and (2) above of this Section 5.2.

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

Section 5.3.  Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee.

         The Corporation covenants that if:

                  (1)      default is made in the payment of any installment of interest (including any
         Additional Interest) on any Security of any series when such interest becomes due and payable and such
         default continues for a period of 30 days, subject to the deferral of any due date in the case of an
         Extension Period, or

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

the Corporation will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of such
Security, the whole amount of interest (in the case of subparagraph (1) above) or the whole amount of principal
and premium, if any, and unpaid interest, including any Additional Interest, with respect to such Security (in
the case of paragraph (2) above), as the case may be, and in each case, the amounts owing to the Trustee under
Section 6.7.

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

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

Section 5.4.  Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

         In case of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement,
adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to the Corporation or any other obligor upon the
Securities or the property of the Corporation or of such other obligor or their creditors,

                  (a)      the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of the Securities of any series
         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 Corporation for the payment of overdue principal
         (and premium, if any) or interest (including any Additional 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 premium, if
                  any) and interest (including any Additional Interest) owing and unpaid in respect to the
                  Securities and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable and to
                  take any and all actions as are authorized under the Trust Indenture Act in order to have the
                  claims of the Holders and any predecessor to the Trustee under Section 6.7 allowed in any such
                  judicial proceedings; and

                           (ii)     in particular, the Trustee shall be authorized to collect and receive any
                  moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same
                  in accordance with Section 5.6; and

                  (b)      any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator (or other similar
         official) in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to
         the Trustee for distribution in accordance with Section 5.6, and in the event that the Trustee shall
         consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to
         it and any predecessor Trustee under Section 6.7.

         Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept
or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the
Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of
any Holder in any such proceeding; provided, however, that the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders, vote for
the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar official and be a member of a creditors' or other similar
committee.

Section 5.5.  Trustee May Enforce Claim Without Possession of Securities.

         All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Securities may be prosecuted and enforced by
the Trustee without the possession of any of the Securities or the production thereof in any proceeding relating
thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an
express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, subject to Article XIII and after provision for the payment of
all the amounts owing the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee under Section 6.7, its agents and counsel, be for
the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securities in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.

Section 5.6.  Application of Money Collected.

         Any money or property collected or to be applied by the Trustee with respect to a series of Securities
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 premium, if any) or interest
(including any Additional Interest), upon presentation of the Securities and the notation thereon of the payment
if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid:

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

                  SECOND: Subject to Article XIII, to the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid upon
         Securities of such series for principal (and premium, if any) and interest (including any Additional
         Interest) in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected, ratably,
         without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on such series of
         Securities for principal (and premium, if any) and interest (including any Additional Interest),
         respectively; and

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

Section 5.7.  Limitation on Suits.

         Subject to Section 5.8, no Holder of any Securities of any series shall have any right to institute any
proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver, assignee,
trustee, liquidator, sequestrator (or other similar official) or for any other remedy hereunder, unless:

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

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

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

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

                  (5)      no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee
         during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority in aggregate 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 itself of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the
rights of any other Holders of Securities, 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 such Holders.

Section 5.8.  Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal, Premium and Interest; Direct Action
         by Holders of Capital Securities.

         Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Security of any series shall
have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of (and premium, if any)
and (subject to Sections 3.8 and 3.12) interest (including any Additional Interest) on such Security on the
respective Stated Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on the Redemption Date)
and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such right shall not be impaired without the
consent of such Holder.  In the case of Securities of a series issued to an Issuer Trust, any registered holder
of the series of Capital Securities issued by such Issuer Trust shall have the right, upon the occurrence of an
Event of Default described in Section 5.1(1) or 5.1(2), to institute a suit directly against the Corporation for
enforcement of payment to such holder of principal of (premium, if any) and (subject to Sections 3.8 and 3.12)
interest (including any Additional Interest) on the Securities having a principal amount equal to the aggregate
Liquidation Amount (as defined in the related Trust Agreement) of such Capital Securities held by such holder.

Section 5.9.  Restoration of Rights and Remedies.

         If the Trustee, any Holder or any holder of Capital Securities issued by any Issuer Trust 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, such Holder or such holder of Capital
Securities, then and in every such case the Corporation, the Trustee, such Holders and such holder of Capital
Securities shall, subject to any determination in such proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to
their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee, such Holder and such
holder of Capital Securities shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.

Section 5.10.  Rights and Remedies Cumulative.

         Except as otherwise provided in the last paragraph of Section 3.7, no right or remedy herein conferred
upon or reserved to the Trustee or the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and
every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right
and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise.  The assertion or
employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or
employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

Section 5.11.  Delay or Omission Not Waiver.

         No delay or omission of the Trustee, any Holder of any Security with respect to the Securities of the
related Series or any holder of any Capital Security to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of
Default with respect to the Securities of the related series shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute
a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein.

         Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders and the right
and remedy given to the holders of Capital Securities by Section 5.8 may be exercised from time to time, and as
often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee, the Holders or the holders of Capital Securities, as the case
may be.

Section 5.12.  Control by Holders.

         The Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of
any series shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy
available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, with respect to the
Securities of such series, provided that:

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

                  (2)      the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not
         inconsistent with such direction, and

                  (3)      subject to the provisions of Section 6.1, the Trustee shall have the right to decline
         to follow such direction if a Responsible Officer or Officers of the Trustee shall, in good faith,
         determine that the proceeding so directed would be unjustly prejudicial to the Holders not joining in
         any such direction or would involve the Trustee in personal liability.

Section 5.13.  Waiver of Past Defaults.

         The Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of
any series affected thereby and, in the case of any Securities of a series initially issued to an Issuer Trust,
the holders of a majority in aggregate Liquidation Amount (as defined in the related Trust Agreement) of the
Capital Securities issued by such Issuer Trust may waive any past default hereunder and its consequences with
respect to such series except a default:

                  (1)      in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest (including any
         Additional Interest) on any Security of such series (unless such default has been cured and the
         Corporation has paid to or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay all matured installments
         of interest (including any Additional Interest) and all principal of (and premium, if any, on) all
         Securities of that series due otherwise than by acceleration), or

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

         Any such waiver shall be deemed to be on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities of such series or,
in the case of a waiver by holders of Capital Securities issued by such Issuer Trust, by all holders of Capital
Securities issued by such Issuer Trust.

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

Section 5.14.  Undertaking for Costs.

         All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Security by his acceptance thereof shall be
deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right
or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as
Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that
such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees, against any party
litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such
party litigant; 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 aggregate principal
amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series, or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement
of the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest (including any Additional Interest) on any
Security on or after the respective Stated Maturities expressed in such Security.

Section 5.15.  Waiver of Usury, Stay or Extension Laws.

         The Corporation covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist
upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any usury, stay or
extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the
performance of this Indenture; and the Corporation (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 6.1.  Certain Duties and Responsibilities.

         (a)      Except during the continuance of an Event of 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 that by any provisions hereof are specifically required to be
         furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or
         not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture.

         (b)      In case an Event of 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 person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his or her own
affairs.

         (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 willful 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; and

                  (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 Holders pursuant to Section 5.12 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 a series.

         (d)      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 there shall be reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or
adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

         (e)      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 6.2.  Notice of Defaults.

         Within 90 days after actual knowledge by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee of the occurrence of any
default hereunder with respect to the Securities of any series, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Holders
of Securities of such series, as their names and addresses appear in the Securities Register, notice of such
default, unless such default shall have been cured or waived; provided, however, that, except in the case of a
default in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest (including any Additional Interest)
on any Security of such series, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as the
board of directors, the executive committee or a trust committee of directors and/or Responsible Officers of the
Trustee in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interests of the Holders of
Securities of such series; and provided, further, that, in the case of any default of the character specified in
Section 5.1(3), no such notice to Holders of Securities of such series shall be given until at least 30 days
after the occurrence thereof.  For the purpose of this Section, the term "default" means any event that is, or
after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default with respect to Securities of such series.

Section 6.3.  Certain Rights of Trustee.

         Subject to the provisions of Section 6.1:

                  (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, Security 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 Corporation mentioned herein shall be sufficiently
         evidenced by a Corporation Request or Corporation Order 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)      the Trustee may consult with counsel and the advice of such counsel or any Opinion of
         Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered
         or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon;

                  (e)      the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers
         vested in it by this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders pursuant to this
         Indenture, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity
         against the costs, expenses and liabilities that 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, indenture, Security or other paper or document, but the Trustee in its
         discretion may make such inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if
         the Trustee shall determine to make such inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the
         books, records and premises of the Corporation, personally or by agent or attorney; and

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

Section 6.4.  Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Securities.

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

Section 6.5.  May Hold Securities.

         The Trustee, any Authenticating Agent, any Paying Agent, any Securities Registrar or any other agent of
the Corporation, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and,
subject to Sections 6.8 and 6.13, may otherwise deal with the Corporation with the same rights it would have if
it were not Trustee, Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent, Securities Registrar or such other agent.

Section 6.6.  Money Held in Trust.

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

Section 6.7.  Compensation and Reimbursement.

         The Corporation agrees

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

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

                  (3)      to indemnify the Trustee for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or
         expense (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents and
         counsel) incurred without negligence or bad faith, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance
         or administration of this trust or the performance of its duties 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.  This indemnification shall survive the
         termination of this Indenture.

         When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section
5.1(4) or 5.1(5) occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses
of administration under the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978 or any successor statute.

Section 6.8.  Disqualification; Conflicting Interests.

         (a)      The Trustee for the Securities of any series issued hereunder shall be subject to the
provisions of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act.  Nothing herein shall prevent the Trustee from filing
with the Commission the application referred to in the second to last paragraph of said Section 310(b).

         (b)      The Trust Agreement and the Guarantee Agreement with respect to each Issuer Trust shall be
deemed to be specifically described in this Indenture for the purposes of clause (i) of the first proviso
contained in Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act.

Section 6.9.  Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility.

         There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder which shall be:

                  (a)      a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of
         America or of any State or Territory or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to exercise
         corporate trust powers and subject to supervision or examination by Federal, State, Territorial or
         District of Columbia authority, or

                  (b)      a corporation or other Person organized and doing business under the laws of a foreign
         government that is permitted to act as Trustee pursuant to a rule, regulation or order of the
         Commission, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, and subject to supervision or
         examination by authority of such foreign government or a political subdivision thereof substantially
         equivalent to supervision or examination applicable to United States institutional trustees,

in either case having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000, subject to supervision or
examination by Federal or State authority.  If such corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually,
pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then, for the
purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined
capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published.  If at any time the Trustee
shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately in the
manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article.  Neither the Corporation nor any Person
directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Corporation shall serve as
Trustee for the Securities of any series issued hereunder.

Section 6.10.  Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor.

         (a)      No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to
this Article shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee under Section
6.11.

         (b)      The Trustee may resign at any time with respect to the Securities of one or more series by
giving written notice thereof to the Corporation.  If an instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee 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 aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series, delivered
to the Trustee and to the Corporation.

         (d)      If at any time:

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

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

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

then, in any such case, (i) the Corporation, acting pursuant to the authority of a Board Resolution, may remove
the Trustee with respect to the Securities of all series issued hereunder, or (ii) subject to Section 5.14, any
Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months may, on behalf of such Holder and
all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee with
respect to the Securities of all series issued hereunder 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
Corporation, by a Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of
that or those series.  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 aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series delivered to the
Corporation and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of
such appointment, become the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and supersede the
successor Trustee appointed by the Corporation.  If no successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any
series shall have been so appointed by the Corporation or the Holders and accepted appointment in the manner
hereinafter provided, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of such series for at least six
months may, subject to Section 5.14, on behalf of such Holder and all others similarly situated, petition any
court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such
series.

         (f)      The Corporation 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 by mailing written notice of such event by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to the
Holders of Securities of such series as their names and addresses appear in the Securities Register.  Each notice
shall include the name of the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and the address of
its Corporate Trust Office.

Section 6.11.  Acceptance of Appointment by Successor.

         (a)      In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to all Securities,
every such successor Trustee so appointed shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Corporation 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 Corporation or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges, execute
and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the
retiring Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money
held by such retiring Trustee hereunder.

         (b)      In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of
one or more (but not all) series, the Corporation, the retiring Trustee and each successor Trustee with respect
to the Securities of one or more series shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto wherein each
successor Trustee shall accept such appointment and which (1) shall contain such provisions as shall be necessary
or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, each successor Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts
and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the
appointment of such successor Trustee relates, (2) if the retiring Trustee is not retiring with respect to all
Securities, shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the
rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series
as to which the retiring Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the retiring Trustee, and (3)
shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate
the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or
in such supplemental indenture shall constitute such Trustees co-trustees of the same trust and that each such
Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder
administered by any other such Trustee; and upon the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture the
resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided therein and each
such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights,
powers, trusts, and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to
which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates; but, on request of the Corporation 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 Corporation shall execute any and all
instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all 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 6.12.  Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business.

         Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated,
or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party,
or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of 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, and in case any Securities shall not have been
authenticated, any successor to the Trustee may authenticate such Securities either in the name of any
predecessor Trustee or in the name of such successor Trustee, and in all cases the certificate of authentication
shall have the full force which it is provided anywhere in the Securities or in this Indenture that the
certificate of the Trustee shall have.

Section 6.13.  Preferential Collection of Claims Against Corporation.

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

Section 6.14.  Appointment of Authenticating Agent.

         The Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents with respect to one or more series of
Securities, which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Securities of such series
issued upon original issue and upon exchange, registration of transfer or partial redemption thereof or pursuant
to Section 3.6, and Securities so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be
valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder.  Wherever reference is made
in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Securities by the Trustee or the Trustee's certificate of
authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by
an Authenticating Agent.  Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Corporation and shall at all times
be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America, or of any State or
Territory thereof or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to act as Authenticating Agent, having
a combined capital and surplus of not less than $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by Federal
or State authority.  If such Authenticating Agent publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to
law or to the requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section the
combined capital and surplus of such 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 all or substantially all of the corporate
trust business of an Authenticating Agent shall be the successor Authenticating Agent hereunder, provided such
corporation shall be otherwise eligible under this Section, without the execution or filing of any paper or any
further act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent.

         An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Trustee and to
the Corporation.  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 Corporation.  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 Corporation and shall give notice of such appointment in the manner provided in
Section 1.6 to all Holders of Securities of the series with respect to which such Authenticating Agent will
serve.  Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with
all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an
Authenticating Agent.  No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provision
of this Section.

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

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

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

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

                  (a)      semi-annually, on or before June 30 and December 31 of each year, a list, in such form
         as the Trustee may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of the Holders as of a date not more
         than 15 days prior to the delivery thereof, and

                  (b)      at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, within 30 days after the
         receipt by the Corporation 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,

in each case to the extent such information is in the possession or control of the corporation and has not
otherwise been received by the Trustee in its capacity as Securities Registrar.

         (a)      The Trustee shall preserve, in as current a form as is reasonably practicable, the names and
addresses of Holders contained in the most recent list furnished to the Trustee as provided in Section 7.1 and
the names and addresses of Holders received by the Trustee in its capacity as Securities Registrar.  The Trustee
may destroy any list furnished to it as provided in Section 7.1 upon receipt of a new list so furnished.

         (b)      The rights of Holders to communicate with other Holders with respect to their rights under this
Indenture or under the Securities, and the corresponding rights and privileges of the Trustee, shall be as
provided in the Trust Indenture Act.

         (c)      Every Holder of Securities, by receiving and holding the same, agrees with the Corporation and

to the Trust Indenture Act.

Section 7.3.  Reports by Trustee.

         (a)      The Trustee shall transmit to Holders such reports concerning the Trustee and its actions under

         (b)      Reports so required to be transmitted at stated intervals of not more than 12 months shall be
transmitted within 60 days after May 15 of each calendar year, commencing with May 15, 2006 after the first

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

Section 7.4.  Reports by Corporation.

         The Corporation shall file with the Trustee and with the Commission, and transmit to Holders, such
information, documents and other reports, and such summaries thereof, as may be required pursuant to the Trust
Indenture Act at the times and in the manner provided in the Trust Indenture Act; provided that any such
information, documents or reports required to be filed with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or Section
15(d) of the Exchange Act shall be filed with the Trustee within 15 days after the same is required to be filed

provisions of Trust Indenture Act Section 314(a).


                                                   ARTICLE VIII

                               Consolidation, Merger, Conveyance, Transfer or Lease

Section 8.1.  Corporation May Consolidate, Etc., Only on Certain Terms.

         The Corporation shall not consolidate with or merge into any other Person or convey, transfer or lease
its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any Person, and no Person shall consolidate with or
merge into the Corporation or convey, transfer or lease its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to
the Corporation, unless:

                  (1)      if the Corporation shall consolidate with or merge into another Person or convey,
         transfer or lease its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any Person, the corporation
         formed by such consolidation or into which the Corporation is merged or the Person that acquires by
         conveyance or transfer, or that leases, the properties and assets of the Corporation substantially as an
         entirety shall be a corporation, partnership or trust organized and existing under the laws of the
         United States of America or any State thereof or the District of Columbia and shall expressly assume, by
         an indenture supplemental hereto, executed and delivered to the Trustee, in form satisfactory to the
         Trustee, the due and punctual payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest (including
         any Additional Interest) on all the Securities of every series and the performance of every covenant of
         this Indenture on the part of the Corporation to be performed or observed;

                  (2)      immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Event of Default, and no event
         that, after notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default, shall have happened
         and be continuing; and

                  (3)      the Corporation has delivered to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion

         supplemental indenture comply with this Article and that all conditions precedent herein provided for
         relating to such transaction have been complied with; and the Trustee, subject to Section 6.1, may rely
         upon such Officers' Certificate and Opinion of Counsel as conclusive evidence that such transaction
         complies with this Section 8.1.

Section 8.2.  Successor Person Substituted.

         Upon any consolidation or merger by the Corporation with or into any other Person, or any conveyance,
transfer or lease by the Corporation of its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any Person in
accordance with Section 8.1, the successor corporation formed by such consolidation or into which the Corporation
is merged or to which such conveyance, transfer or lease is made shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and
may exercise every right and power of, the Corporation under this Indenture with the same effect as if such
successor Person had been named as the Corporation herein; and in the event of any such conveyance, transfer or
lease the Corporation shall be discharged from all obligations and covenants under the Indenture and the
Securities.

such successor Person thereafter shall cause to be executed and delivered to the Trustee on its behalf for the
purpose pursuant to such provisions.  All the Securities so issued shall in all respects have the same legal rank
and benefit under this Indenture as the Securities theretofore or thereafter issued in accordance with the terms
of this Indenture.

         In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance or lease, such changes in phraseology and
form may be made in the Securities thereafter to be issued as may be appropriate.

                  (4)      to add to the covenants of the Corporation for the benefit of the Holders of all or
         any series of Securities (and if such covenants are to be for the benefit of less than all series of

         change or elimination shall (a) become effective only when there is no Security Outstanding of any
         series created prior to the execution of such supplemental indenture that is entitled to the benefit of
         such provision or (b) not apply to any Outstanding Securities; or

                  (7)      to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provision herein that may be
         defective or inconsistent with any other provision herein, or to make any other provisions with respect
         to matters or questions arising under this Indenture, provided that such action pursuant to this clause
         (7) shall not adversely affect the interest of the Holders of Securities of any series in any material
         respect or, in the case of the Securities of a series issued to an Issuer Trust and for so long as any

                  (9)      to comply with the requirements of the Commission in order to effect or maintain
         qualification of this Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act.

Section 9.2.  Supplemental Indentures with Consent of Holders.

         With the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of each series affected by such supplemental indenture, by Act of said Holders delivered

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

                  (1)      change the Stated Maturity of the principal of, or any installment of interest
         (including any Additional Interest) on, any Security, or reduce the principal amount thereof or the rate
         of interest thereon or any premium payable upon the redemption thereof, or reduce the amount of
         principal of a Discount Security that would be due and payable upon a declaration of acceleration of the
         Maturity thereof pursuant to Section 5.2, or change the place of payment where, or the coin or currency
         in which, any Security or interest thereon is payable, or impair the right to institute suit for the
         enforcement of any such payment on or after the Stated Maturity thereof (or, in the case of redemption,
         on or after the Redemption Date), or

                  (2)      reduce the percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of
         any series, the consent of whose Holders is required for any such supplemental indenture, or the consent

         certain defaults hereunder and their consequences) provided for in this Indenture, or

                  (3)      modify any of the provisions of this Section, Section 5.13 or Section 10.5, 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 Security affected thereby;

provided, further, that, in the case of the Securities of a series issued to an Issuer Trust, so long as any of
the corresponding series of Capital Securities issued by such Issuer Trust remains outstanding, (i) no such
amendment shall be made that adversely affects the holders of such Capital Securities in any material respect,
and no termination of this Indenture shall occur, and no waiver of any Event of Default or compliance with any
covenant under this Indenture shall be effective, without the prior consent of the holders of at least a majority
of the aggregate Liquidation Amount (as defined in the related Trust Agreement) of such Capital Securities then
outstanding unless and until the principal of (and premium, if any, on) the Securities of such series and all
accrued and (subject to Section 3.8) unpaid interest (including any Additional Interest) thereon have been paid
in full, (ii) no amendment shall be made to Section 5.8 of this Indenture that would impair the rights of the
holders of Capital Securities issued by any Issuer Trust provided therein without the prior consent of the
holders of each such Capital Security then outstanding unless and until the principal of (and premium, if any,
on) the Securities of such series and all accrued and (subject to Section 3.8) unpaid interest (including any
Additional Interest) thereon have been paid in full, and (iii) no such amendment or waiver that requires the
consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security affected thereby shall be made without the prior consent of
all the holders of the related Capital Securities then Outstanding unless and until the principal of (and
premium, if any, on) the Securities of such series and (subject to Section 3.8) unpaid interest (including any
Additional Interest) thereon have been paid in full.

         A supplemental indenture that changes or eliminates any covenant or other provision of this Indenture
that has expressly been included solely for the benefit of one or more particular series of Securities or any
corresponding series of Capital Securities of an Issuer Trust that holds the Securities of any series, or that
modifies the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series or holders of such Capital Securities of such
corresponding 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 or holders of Capital Securities of any
other such corresponding series.

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

Section 9.3.  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 6.1) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Officers' Certificate and an
Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this
Indenture, and that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to such action have been complied
with.  The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such supplemental indenture that affects
the Trustee's own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

Section 9.4.  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 shall be bound thereby.

Trust Indenture Act as then in effect.

Section 9.6.  Reference in Securities to Supplemental Indentures.

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


                                                     ARTICLE X

                                                     Covenants

Section 10.1.  Payment of Principal, Premium and Interest.

         The Corporation covenants and agrees for the benefit of each series of Securities that it will duly and
punctually pay the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest (including any Additional Interest) on the
Securities of that series in accordance with the terms of such Securities and this Indenture.

Section 10.2.  Maintenance of Office or Agency.

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

         The Corporation may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the
Securities may be presented or surrendered for any or all of 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
Corporation of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in each Place of Payment for Securities of any
series for such purposes.  The Corporation will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation
and any change in the location of any such office or agency.

Section 10.3.  Money for Security Payments to be Held in Trust.

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

         Whenever the Corporation shall have one or more Paying Agents, it will, prior to 10:00 a.m., New York
City time, on each due date of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest (including any Additional
Interest) on any Securities, deposit with a Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay the principal (and premium, if
any) or interest (including any Additional Interest) so becoming due, such sum to be held in trust for the
benefit of the Persons entitled to such principal (and premium, if any) or interest (including any Additional
Interest), and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Corporation will promptly notify the Trustee of its
failure so to act.

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

                  (1)      hold all sums held by it for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or
         interest (including any Additional Interest) on the Securities of a series 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 of any default by the Corporation (or any other obligor upon
         such Securities) in the making of any payment of principal (and premium, if any) or interest (including
         any Additional Interest) in respect of any Security of any Series;

                  (3)      at any time during the continuance of any default with respect to a series of
         Securities, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held in
         trust by such Paying Agent with respect to such series; and

                  (4)      comply with the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act applicable to it as a Paying
         Agent.

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

         Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Corporation in trust for
the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest (including any Additional Interest) on any
Security and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal (and premium, if any) or interest has become
due and payable shall (unless otherwise required by mandatory provision of applicable escheat or abandoned or
unclaimed property law) be paid on Corporation Request to the Corporation, or (if then held by the Corporation)
shall (unless otherwise required by mandatory provision of applicable escheat or abandoned or unclaimed property
law) be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Security shall thereafter, as an unsecured general
creditor, look only to the Corporation for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent
with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Corporation 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 Corporation cause to be published once, in a newspaper published in the English language,
customarily published on each Business Day and of general circulation in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of
New York, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be
less than 30 days from the date of such publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be
repaid to the Corporation.

Section 10.4.  Statement as to Compliance.

         The Corporation shall deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the
Corporation ending after the date hereof, an Officers' Certificate covering the preceding calendar year, stating
whether or not to the best knowledge of the signers thereof the Corporation is in default in the performance,
observance or fulfillment of or compliance with any of the terms, provisions, covenants and conditions of this
Indenture, and if the Corporation shall be in default, specifying all such defaults and the nature and status
thereof of which they may have knowledge.  For the purpose of this Section 10.4, compliance shall be determined
without regard to any grace period or requirement of notice provided pursuant to the terms of this Indenture.

Section 10.5.  Waiver of Certain Covenants.

         Subject to the rights of holders of Capital Securities specified in Section 9.2, if any, the Corporation
may omit in any particular instance to comply with any covenant or condition provided pursuant to Section 3.1,
9.1(3) or 9.1(4) with respect to the Securities of any series, if before or after the time for such compliance
the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series
shall, by Act of such Holders, either waive such compliance in such instance or generally waive compliance with
such covenant or condition, but no such waiver shall extend to or affect such covenant or condition except to the
extent so expressly waived, and, until such waiver shall become effective, the obligations of the Corporation in
respect of any such covenant or condition shall remain in full force and effect.

Section 10.6.  Additional Sums.

         In the case of the Securities of a series initially issued to an Issuer Trust, so long as no Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing and except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.1 or
Section 3.1, if (i) an Issuer Trust is the Holder of all of the Outstanding Securities of such series, and (ii) a
Tax Event has occurred and is continuing in respect of such Issuer Trust, the Corporation shall pay to such
Issuer Trust (and its permitted successors or assigns under the related Trust Agreement) for so long as such
Issuer Trust (or its permitted successor or assignee) is the registered holder of the Outstanding Securities of
such series, such additional sums as may be necessary in order that the amount of Distributions (including any
Additional Amounts (as defined in such Trust Agreement)) then due and payable by such Issuer Trust on the related
Capital Securities and Common Securities that at any time remain outstanding in accordance with the terms thereof
shall not be reduced as a result of any Additional Taxes arising from such Tax Event; provided, however, that
Additional Sums shall not include any withholding taxes arising after the occurrence of a Tax Event and which
have been withheld from payments to Holders of Trust Securities and for which Holders are liable (the "Additional
Sums").  Whenever in this Indenture or the Securities there is a reference in any context to the payment of
principal of or interest on the Securities, such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payments of
the Additional Sums provided for in this paragraph to the extent that, in such context, Additional Sums are, were
or would be payable in respect thereof pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph and express mention of the
payment of Additional Sums (if applicable) in any provisions hereof shall not be construed as excluding
Additional Sums in those provisions hereof where such express mention is not made; provided, however, that the
deferral of the payment of interest pursuant to Section 3.12 or the Securities shall not defer the payment of any
Additional Sums that may be due and payable.

Section 10.7.  Additional Covenants.

         The Corporation covenants and agrees with each Holder of Securities of each series that it shall not (x)
make any payment of principal of or interest or premium, if any, on or repay, repurchase or redeem any Debt of
the Corporation that ranks pari passu in all respects with or junior in interest to the Securities of such
series, or (y) declare or pay any dividends or distributions on, or redeem purchase, acquire or make a
liquidation payment with respect to, any shares of the Corporation's capital stock (other than (a) repurchases,
redemptions or other acquisitions of shares of capital stock of the Corporation in connection with any employment
contract, benefit plan or other similar arrangement with or for the benefit of any one or more employees,
officers, directors or consultants, in connection with a dividend reinvestment or stockholder stock purchase plan
or in connection with the issuance of capital stock of the Corporation (or securities convertible into or
exercisable for such capital stock) as consideration in an acquisition transaction entered into prior to the
applicable Extension Period, (b) as a result of an exchange or conversion of any class or series of the
Corporation's capital stock (or any capital stock of a Subsidiary of the Corporation) for any class or series of
the Corporation's capital stock or of any class or series of the Corporation's indebtedness for any class or
series of the Corporation's capital stock, (c) the purchase of fractional interests in shares of the
Corporation's capital stock pursuant to the conversion or exchange provisions of such capital stock or the
security being converted or exchanged, (d) any declaration of a dividend in connection with any Rights Plan, or
the issuance of rights, stock or other property under any Rights Plan, or the redemption or repurchase of rights
pursuant thereto, or (e) any dividend in the form of stock, warrants, options or other rights where the dividend
stock or the stock issuable upon exercise of such warrants, options or other rights is the same stock as that on
which the dividend is being paid or ranks pari passu with or junior to such stock) if at such time (i) there
shall have occurred any event (A) of which the Corporation has actual knowledge that with the giving of notice or
the lapse of time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of such series,
and (B) which the Corporation shall not have taken reasonable steps to cure, (ii) if the Securities of such
series are held by an Issuer Trust, the Corporation shall be in default with respect to its payment of any
obligations under the Guarantee Agreement relating to the Capital Securities issued by such Issuer Trust, or
(iii) the Corporation shall have given notice of its election to begin an Extension Period with respect to the
Securities of such series as provided herein and shall not have rescinded such notice, or such Extension Period,
or any extension thereof, shall be continuing.

         The Corporation also covenants with each Holder of Securities of a series issued to an Issuer Trust (i)
to hold, directly or indirectly, 100% of the Common Securities of such Issuer Trust, provided that any permitted
successor of the Corporation hereunder may succeed to the Corporation's ownership of such Common Securities, (ii)
as holder of such Common Securities, not to voluntarily terminate, wind-up or liquidate such Issuer Trust, other
than (a) in connection with a distribution of the Securities of such series to the holders of the related Capital
Securities in liquidation of such Issuer Trust, or (b) in connection with certain mergers, consolidations or
amalgamations permitted by the related Trust Agreement, and (iii) to use its reasonable efforts, consistent with
the terms and provisions of such Trust Agreement, to cause such Issuer Trust to continue not to be taxable as a
corporation for United States federal income tax purposes.

Section 10.8.   Original Issue Discount.

         For each year during which any Securities that were issued with original issue discount are Outstanding,
the Corporation shall furnish to each Paying Agent in a timely fashion such information as may be reasonably
requested by each Paying Agent in order that each Paying Agent may prepare the information which it is required
to report for such year on Internal Revenue Service Forms 1096 and 1099 pursuant to Section 6049 of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.  Such information shall include the amount of original issue discount
includible in income for each $1,000 of principal amount at Stated Maturity of outstanding Securities during such
year.


                                                    ARTICLE XI

                                             Redemption of Securities

Section 11.1.  Applicability of This Article.

         Redemption of Securities of any series (whether by operation of a sinking fund or otherwise) as
permitted or required by any form of Security issued pursuant to this Indenture shall be made in accordance with
such form of Security and this Article; provided, however, that if any provision of any such form of Security
shall conflict with any provision of this Article, the provision of such form of Security shall govern.  Except
as otherwise set forth in the form of Security for such series, each Security of a series shall be subject to
partial redemption only in the amount of $1,000 or any integral multiples thereof.

Section 11.2.  Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee.

         The election of the Corporation to redeem any Securities shall be evidenced by or pursuant to a Board
Resolution.  In case of any redemption at the election of the Corporation, the Corporation shall, at least 45
days prior to the Redemption Date (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the
Trustee and, in the case of Securities of a series held by an Issuer Trust, the Property Trustee under the
related Trust Agreement, of such date and of the principal amount of Securities of the applicable series to be
redeemed and provide the additional information required to be included in the notice or notices contemplated by
Section 11.4; provided that in the case of any series of Securities initially issued to an Issuer Trust, for so
long as such Securities are held by such Issuer Trust, such notice shall be given not less than 45 nor more than
75 days prior to such Redemption Date (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Property Trustee
under the related Trust Agreement).  In the case of any redemption of Securities prior to the expiration of any
restriction on such redemption provided in the terms of such Securities, the Corporation shall furnish the
Trustee with an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel evidencing compliance with such restriction.

Section 11.3.  Selection of Securities to be Redeemed.

         If less than all the Securities of any series may be redeemed in accordance with the form of such
Security, the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 60 days prior to the
Redemption Date by the Trustee, from the Outstanding Securities of 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 a portion of the principal amount of any Security of such series, provided that the unredeemed
portion of the principal amount of any Security shall be in an authorized denomination (which shall not be less
than the minimum authorized denomination) for such Security.

         The Trustee shall promptly notify the Corporation in writing of the Securities selected for partial
redemption and 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 Security redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal amount of such Security
that has been or is to be redeemed.

Section 11.4.  Notice of Redemption.

         Notice of redemption shall be given by first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not later than the
thirtieth day, and not earlier than the sixtieth day, prior to the Redemption Date, to each Holder of Securities
to be redeemed, at the address of such Holder as it appears in the Securities Register, provided that in the case
of any series of Securities initially issued to an Issuer Trust, for so long as such Securities are held by such
Issuer Trust, such notice shall be given not less than 45 nor more than 75 days prior to such Redemption Date
(unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Property Trustee under the related Trust Agreement).

         With respect to Securities of each series to be redeemed, each notice of redemption shall state:

                  (a)      the Redemption Date;

                  (b)      the Redemption Price or, if the Redemption Price cannot be calculated prior to the
         time the notice is required to be sent, the estimate of the Redemption Price together with a statement
         that it is an estimate and that the actual Redemption Price will be calculated on the third Business Day
         prior to the Redemption Date (and if an estimate is provided, a further notice shall be sent of the
         actual Redemption Price on the date that such Redemption Price is calculated);

                  (c)      if less than all Outstanding Securities of such particular series are to be redeemed,
         the identification (and, in the case of partial redemption, the respective principal amounts) of the
         particular Securities to be redeemed;

                  (d)      that on the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price will become due and payable upon
         each such Security or portion thereof, and that interest (including any Additional Interest) thereon, if
         any, shall cease to accrue on and after said date;

                  (e)      the place or places where such Securities are to be surrendered for payment of the
         Redemption Price;

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

                  (g)      such other provisions as may be required in respect of the terms of a particular
         series of Securities.

         Notice of redemption of Securities to be redeemed at the election of the Corporation shall be given by
the Corporation or, at the Corporation's request, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the
Corporation and shall be irrevocable.  The notice if mailed in the manner provided above shall be conclusively
presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice.  In any case, a failure to give
such notice by mail or any defect in the notice to the Holder of any Security designated for redemption as a
whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Security.

Section 11.5.  Deposit of Redemption Price.

         Prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Redemption Date specified in the notice of redemption
given as provided in Section 11.4, the Corporation will deposit with the Trustee or with one or more Paying
Agents (or if the Corporation is acting as its own Paying Agent, the Corporation will segregate and hold in trust
as provided in Section 10.3) an amount of money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of, and any accrued
interest (including any Additional Interest) on, all the Securities (or portions thereof) that are to be redeemed
on that date.

Section 11.6.  Payment of Securities Called for Redemption.

         If any notice of redemption has been given as provided in Section 11.4, the Securities or portion of
Securities with respect to which such notice has been given shall become due and payable on the date and at the
place or places stated in such notice at the applicable Redemption Price, together with accrued interest
(including any Additional Interest) to the Redemption Date.  On presentation and surrender of such Securities at
a Place of Payment in said notice specified, the said Securities or the specified portions thereof shall be paid
and redeemed by the Corporation at the applicable Redemption Price, together with accrued interest (including any
Additional Interest) to the Redemption Date; provided, however, that, unless otherwise specified as contemplated
by Section 3.1, installments of interest (including any Additional Interest) whose Stated Maturity is on or prior
to the Redemption Date will 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 3.8.

         Upon presentation of any Security redeemed in part only, the Corporation shall execute and the Trustee
shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder thereof, at the expense of the Corporation, a new Security or
Securities of the same series, of authorized denominations, in aggregate principal amount equal to the unredeemed
portion of the Security so presented and having the same Original Issue Date, Stated Maturity and terms.

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

Section 11.7.  Right of Redemption of Securities Initially Issued to an Issuer Trust.

         In the case of the Securities of a series initially issued to an Issuer Trust, except as otherwise
specified in a Board resolution or supplemental indenture for such series as contemplated by Section 3.1, the
Corporation, at its option, and upon receipt of any required approval of the Federal Reserve, may (to the extent
provided by the terms of such Securities) redeem such Securities (i) on or after the date specified in such
Security, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, or (ii) upon the occurrence and during the
continuation of a Tax Event, an Investment Company Event or a Capital Treatment Event, at any time within 90 days
following the occurrence and during the continuation of such Tax Event, Investment Company Event or Capital
Treatment Event, in whole (but not in part), in each case at a Redemption Price specified in such Security,
together with accrued interest (including any Additional Interest) to, but excluding, the Redemption Date.  If
provided for in the form of Security,  the Corporation also, at its option and upon prior receipt of ay required
approval by the Federal Reserve, may redeem such Securities on or after the date specified in such Security, in
whole at any time or in part from time to time.

         If less than all the Securities of any such series are to be redeemed, the aggregate principal amount of
such Securities remaining Outstanding after giving effect to such redemption shall be sufficient to satisfy any
provisions of the Trust Agreement related to the Issuer Trust to which such Securities were issued, including any
requirement in such Trust Agreement as to the minimum Liquidation Amount (as defined in such Trust Agreement) of
Capital Securities that may be held by a holder of Capital Securities thereunder.


                                                    ARTICLE XII

                                                   Sinking Funds

Section 12.1.  Applicability of Article.

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

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

Section 12.2.  Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments with Securities.

         In lieu of making all or any part of a mandatory sinking fund payment with respect to any Securities of
a series in cash, the Corporation may at its option, at any time no more than 16 months and no less than 45 days
prior to the date on which such sinking fund payment is due, deliver to the Trustee Securities of such series
(together with the unmatured coupons, if any, appertaining thereto) theretofore purchased or otherwise acquired
by the Corporation, except Securities of such series that have been redeemed through the application of mandatory
or optional sinking fund payments pursuant to the terms of the Securities of such series, accompanied by a
Corporation Order instructing the Trustee to credit such obligations and stating that the Securities of such
series were originally issued by the Corporation by way of bona fide sale or other negotiation for value;
provided that the Securities to be so credited have not been previously so credited.  The Securities to be so
credited shall be received and credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the redemption price for such
Securities, as specified in the Securities so to be redeemed, for redemption through operation of the sinking
fund and the amount of such sinking fund payment shall be reduced accordingly.

Section 12.3.  Redemption of Securities for Sinking Fund.

         Not less than 45 days prior to each sinking fund payment date for any series of Securities, the
Corporation 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 in the currency in which the Securities of such series are payable
(except as provided pursuant to Section 3.1) and the portion thereof, if any, that is to be satisfied by
delivering and crediting Securities pursuant to Section 12.2 and will also deliver to the Trustee any Securities
to be so delivered.  Such Officers' Certificate shall be irrevocable and upon its delivery the Corporation shall
be obligated to make the cash payment or payments therein referred to, if any, on or before the succeeding
sinking fund payment date.  In the case of the failure of the Corporation to deliver such Officers' Certificate
(or, as required by this Indenture, the Securities and coupons, if any, specified in such Officers' Certificate)
by the due date therefor, the sinking fund payment due on the succeeding sinking fund payment date for such
series shall be paid entirely in cash and shall be sufficient to redeem the principal amount of the Securities of
such series subject to a mandatory sinking fund payment without the right to deliver or credit securities as
provided in Section 12.2 and without the right to make the optional sinking fund payment with respect to such
series at such time.

         Any sinking fund payment or payments (mandatory or optional) made in cash plus any unused balance of any
preceding sinking fund payments made with respect to the Securities of any particular series shall be applied by
the Trustee (or by the Corporation if the Corporation is acting as its own Paying Agent) on the sinking fund
payment date on which such payment is made (or, if such payment is made before a sinking fund payment date, on
the sinking fund payment date immediately following the date of such payment) to the redemption of Securities of
such series at the Redemption Price specified in such Securities with respect to the sinking fund.  Any sinking
fund moneys not so applied or allocated by the Trustee (or, if the Corporation is acting as its own Paying Agent,
segregated and held in trust by the Corporation as provided in Section 10.3) for such series and together with
such payment (or such amount so segregated) shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of this Section
12.3.  Any and all sinking fund moneys with respect to the Securities of any particular series held by the
Trustee (or if the Corporation is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregated and held in trust as provided in
Section 10.3) on the last sinking fund payment date with respect to Securities of such series and not held for
the payment or redemption of particular Securities of such series shall be applied by the Trustee (or by the
Corporation if the Corporation is acting as its own Paying Agent), together with other moneys, if necessary, to
be deposited (or segregated) sufficient for the purpose, to the payment of the principal of the Securities of
such series at Maturity.  The Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed upon such sinking fund payment
date in the manner specified in Section 11.3 and cause notice of the redemption thereof to be given in the name
of and at the expense of the Corporation in the manner provided in Section 11.4.  Such notice having been duly
given, the redemption of such Securities shall be made upon the terms and in the manner stated in Section 11.6.
On or before each sinking fund payment date, the Corporation shall pay to the Trustee (or, if the Corporation is
acting as its own Paying Agent, the Corporation shall segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 10.3) in
cash a sum in the currency in which Securities of such series are payable (except as provided pursuant to Section
3.1) equal to the principal (and premium, if any) and any interest (including any Additional Interest) accrued to
the Redemption Date for Securities or portions thereof to be redeemed on such sinking fund payment date pursuant
to this Section 12.3.

         Neither the Trustee nor the Corporation shall redeem any Securities of a series with sinking fund moneys
or mail any notice of redemption of Securities of such series by operation of the sinking fund for such series
during the continuance of a default in payment of interest, if any, on any Securities of such series or of any
Event of Default (other than an Event of Default occurring as a consequence of this paragraph) with respect to
the Securities of such series, except that if the notice of redemption shall have been provided in accordance
with the provisions hereof, the Trustee (or the Corporation, if the Corporation is then acting as its own Paying
Agent) shall redeem such Securities if cash sufficient for that purpose shall be deposited with the Trustee (or
segregated by the Corporation) for that purpose in accordance with the terms of this Article XII.  Except as
aforesaid, any moneys in the sinking fund for such series at the time when any such default or Event of Default
shall occur and any moneys thereafter paid into such sinking fund shall, during the continuance of such default
or Event of Default, be held as security for the payment of the Securities and coupons, if any, of such series;
provided, however, that in case such default or Event of Default shall have been cured or waived herein, such
moneys shall thereafter be applied on the next sinking fund payment date for the Securities of such series on
which such moneys may be applied pursuant to the provisions of this Section 12.3.


                                                   ARTICLE XIII

                                            Subordination of Securities

Section 13.1.  Securities Subordinate to Senior Indebtedness.

         The Corporation covenants and agrees, and each Holder of a Security, by its acceptance thereof, likewise
covenants and agrees, that, to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth in this Article, the payment of
the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest (including any Additional Interest) on each and all of the
Securities of each and every series are hereby expressly made subordinate and subject in right of payment to the
prior payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness.

Section 13.2.  No Payment When Senior Indebtedness in Default; Payment Over of Proceeds Upon
         Dissolution, Etc.

         If the Corporation shall default in the payment of any principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on
any Senior Indebtedness when the same becomes due and payable, whether at maturity or at a date fixed for
prepayment or by declaration of acceleration or otherwise, then, upon written notice of such default to the
Corporation by the holders of Senior Indebtedness or any trustee therefor, unless and until such default shall
have been cured or waived or shall have ceased to exist, no direct or indirect payment (in cash, property,
securities, by set-off or otherwise) shall be made or agreed to be made on account of the principal of (or
premium, if any) or interest (including any Additional Interest) on any of the Securities, or in respect of any
redemption, repayment, retirement, purchase or other acquisition of any of the Securities.

         In the event of (a) any insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership, liquidation, reorganization, readjustment,
composition or other similar proceedings relating to the Corporation, its creditors or its property, (b) any
proceeding for the liquidation, dissolution or other winding up of the Corporation, voluntary or involuntary,
whether or not involving insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings, (c) any assignment by the Corporation for the
benefit of creditors or (d) any other marshalling of the assets of the Corporation (each such event, if any,
herein sometimes referred to as a "Proceeding"), all Senior Indebtedness (including any interest thereon accruing
after the commencement of any such proceedings) shall first be paid in full before any payment or distribution,
whether in cash, securities or other property, shall be made to any Holder of any of the Securities on account
thereof.  Any payment or distribution, whether in cash, securities or other property (other than securities of
the Corporation or any other corporation provided for by a plan of reorganization or readjustment the payment of
which is subordinate, at least to the extent provided in these subordination provisions with respect to the
indebtedness evidenced by the Securities, to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness at the time outstanding and
to any securities issued in respect thereof under any such plan of reorganization or readjustment), which would
otherwise (but for these subordination provisions) be payable or deliverable in respect of the Securities of any
series shall be paid or delivered directly to the holders of Senior Indebtedness in accordance with the
priorities then existing among such holders until all Senior Indebtedness (including any interest thereon
accruing after the commencement of any Proceeding) shall have been paid in full.

         In the event of any Proceeding, after payment in full of all sums owing with respect to Senior
Indebtedness, the Holders of the Securities, together with the holders of any obligations of the Corporation
ranking on a parity with the Securities, shall be entitled to be paid from the remaining assets of the
Corporation the amounts at the time due and owing on account of unpaid principal of (and premium, if any) and
interest on the Securities and such other obligations before any payment or other distribution, whether in cash,
property or otherwise, shall be made on account of any capital stock or any obligations of the Corporation
ranking junior to the Securities and such other obligations.  If, notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment or
distribution of any character or any security, whether in cash, securities or other property (other than
securities of the Corporation or any other corporation provided for by a plan of reorganization or readjustment
the payment of which is subordinate, at least to the extent provided in these subordination provisions with
respect to the indebtedness evidenced by the Securities, to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness at the time
outstanding and to any securities issued in respect thereof under any such plan of reorganization or
readjustment), shall be received by the Trustee or any Holder in contravention of any of the terms hereof and
before all Senior Indebtedness shall have been paid in full, such payment or distribution or security shall be
received in trust for the benefit of, and shall be paid over or delivered and transferred to, the holders of the
Senior Indebtedness at the time outstanding in accordance with the priorities then existing among such holders
for application to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid, to the extent necessary to pay all
such Senior Indebtedness in full.  In the event of the failure of the Trustee or any Holder to endorse or assign
any such payment, distribution or security, each holder of Senior Indebtedness is hereby irrevocably authorized
to endorse or assign the same.

         The Trustee and the Holders shall take such action (including, without limitation, the delivery of this
Indenture to an agent for the holders of Senior Indebtedness or consent to the filing of a financing statement
with respect hereto) as may, in the opinion of counsel designated by the holders of a majority in principal
amount of the Senior Indebtedness at the time outstanding, be necessary or appropriate to assure the
effectiveness of the subordination effected by these provisions.

         The provisions of this Section 13.2 shall not impair any rights, interests, remedies or powers of any
secured creditor of the Corporation in respect of any security interest the creation of which is not prohibited
by the provisions of this Indenture.

         The securing of any obligations of the Corporation, otherwise ranking on a parity with the Securities or
ranking junior to the Securities, shall not be deemed to prevent such obligations from constituting,
respectively, obligations ranking on a parity with the Securities or ranking junior to the Securities.

Section 13.3.  Payment Permitted If No Default.

         Nothing contained in this Article or elsewhere in this Indenture or in any of the Securities shall
prevent (a) the Corporation, at any time, except during the pendency of the conditions described in the first
paragraph of Section 13.2 or of any Proceeding referred to in Section 13.2, from making payments at any time of
principal of (and premium, if any) or interest (including any Additional Interest) on the Securities, or (b) the
application by the Trustee of any moneys deposited with it hereunder to the payment of or on account of the
principal of (and premium, if any) or interest (including any Additional Interest) on the Securities or the
retention of such payment by the Holders, if, at the time of such application by the Trustee, it did not have
knowledge that such payment would have been prohibited by the provisions of this Article.

Section 13.4.  Subrogation to Rights of Holders of Senior Indebtedness.

         Subject to the payment in full of all amounts due or to become due on all Senior Indebtedness, or the
provision for such payment in cash or cash equivalents or otherwise in a manner satisfactory to the holders of
Senior Indebtedness, the Holders of the Securities shall be subrogated to the extent of the payments or
distributions made to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness pursuant to the provisions of this Article (equally
and ratably with the holders of all indebtedness of the Corporation that by its express terms is subordinated to
Senior Indebtedness of the Corporation to substantially the same extent as the Securities are subordinated to the
Senior Indebtedness and is entitled to like rights of subrogation by reason of any payments or distributions made
to holders of such Senior Indebtedness) to the rights of the holders of such Senior Indebtedness to receive
payments and distributions of cash, property and securities applicable to the Senior Indebtedness until the
principal of (and premium, if any) and interest (including any Additional Interest) on the Securities shall be
paid in full.  For purposes of such subrogation, no payments or distributions to the holders of the Senior
Indebtedness of any cash, property or securities to which the Holders of the Securities or the Trustee would be
entitled except for the provisions of this Article, and no payments over pursuant to the provisions of this
Article to the holders of Senior Indebtedness by Holders of the Securities or the Trustee, shall, as among the
Corporation, its creditors other than holders of Senior Indebtedness, and the Holders of the Securities, be
deemed to be a payment or distribution by the Corporation to or on account of the Senior Indebtedness.

Section 13.5.  Provisions Solely to Define Relative Rights.

         The provisions of this Article are and are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative
rights of the Holders of the Securities on the one hand and the holders of Senior Indebtedness on the other
hand.  Nothing contained in this Article or elsewhere in this Indenture or in the Securities is intended to or
shall (a) impair, as between the Corporation and the Holders of the Securities, the obligations of the
Corporation, which are absolute and unconditional, to pay to the Holders of the Securities the principal of (and
premium, if any) and interest (including any Additional Interest) on the Securities as and when the same shall
become due and payable in accordance with their terms; or (b) affect the relative rights against the Corporation
of the Holders of the Securities and creditors of the Corporation other than their rights in relation to the
holders of Senior Indebtedness; or (c) prevent the Trustee or the Holder of any Security (or to the extent
expressly provided herein, the holder of any Capital Security) from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted
by applicable law upon default under this Indenture, including filing and voting claims in any Proceeding,
subject to the rights, if any, under this Article of the holders of Senior Indebtedness to receive cash, property
and securities otherwise payable or deliverable to the Trustee or such Holder.

Section 13.6.  Trustee to Effectuate Subordination.

         Each Holder of a Security by his or her acceptance thereof authorizes and directs the Trustee on his or
her behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to acknowledge or effectuate the subordination
provided in this Article and appoints the Trustee his or her attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes.

Section 13.7.  No Waiver of Subordination Provisions.

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

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

Section 13.8.  Notice to Trustee.

         The Corporation shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any fact known to the Corporation
that would prohibit the making of any payment to or by the Trustee in respect of the Securities.  Notwithstanding
the provisions of this Article or any other provision of this Indenture, the Trustee shall not be charged with
knowledge of the existence of any facts that would prohibit the making of any payment to or by the Trustee in
respect of the Securities, unless and until the Trustee shall have received written notice thereof from the
Corporation or a holder of Senior Indebtedness or from any trustee, agent or representative therefor; provided,
however, that if the Trustee shall not have received the notice provided for in this Section at least two
Business Days prior to the date upon which by the terms hereof any monies may become payable for any purpose
(including, the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any, on) or interest (including any Additional
Interest) on any Security), then, anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall
have full power and authority to receive such monies and to apply the same to the purpose for which they were
received and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary that may be received by it within two Business
Days prior to such date.

         Subject to the provisions of Section 6.1, the Trustee shall be entitled to rely on the delivery to it of
a written notice by a Person representing himself or herself to be a holder of Senior Indebtedness (or a trustee
or attorney-in-fact therefor) to establish that such notice has been given by a holder of Senior Indebtedness (or
a trustee or attorney-in-fact therefor).  In the event that the Trustee determines in good faith that further
evidence is required with respect to the right of any Person as a holder of Senior Indebtedness to participate in
any payment or distribution pursuant to this Article, the Trustee may request such Person to furnish evidence to
the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee as to the amount of Senior Indebtedness held by such Person, the
extent to which such Person is entitled to participate in such payment or distribution and any other facts
pertinent to the rights of such Person under this Article, and if such evidence is not furnished, the Trustee may
defer any payment to such Person pending judicial determination as to the right of such Person to receive such
payment.

Section 13.9.  Reliance on Judicial Order or Certificate of Liquidating Agent.

         Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Corporation referred to in this Article, the Trustee,
subject to the provisions of Section 6.1, and the Holders of the Securities shall be entitled to rely upon any
order or decree entered by any court of competent jurisdiction in which such Proceeding is pending, or a
certificate of the trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, liquidating trustee, custodian, assignee for the benefit of
creditors, agent or other Person making such payment or distribution, delivered to the Trustee or to the Holders
of Securities, for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such payment or
distribution, the holders of the Senior Indebtedness and other indebtedness of the Corporation, the amount
thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent
thereto or to this Article.

Section 13.10.  Trustee Not Fiduciary for Holders of Senior Indebtedness.

         The Trustee, in its capacity as trustee under this Indenture, shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary
duty to the holders of Senior Indebtedness and shall not be liable to any such holders if it shall in good faith
mistakenly pay over or distribute to Holders of Securities or to the Corporation or to any other Person cash,
property or securities to which any holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled by virtue of this Article or
otherwise.

Section 13.11.  Rights of Trustee as Holder of Senior Indebtedness; Preservation of Trustee's Rights.

         The Trustee in its individual capacity shall be entitled to all the rights set forth in this Article
with respect to any Senior Indebtedness that may at any time be held by it, to the same extent as any other
holder of Senior Indebtedness, and nothing in this Indenture shall deprive the Trustee of any of its rights as
such holder.

Section 13.12.  Article Applicable to Paying Agents.

         If at any time any Paying Agent other than the Trustee shall have been appointed by the Corporation and
be then acting hereunder, the term "Trustee" as used in this Article shall in such case (unless the context
otherwise requires) be construed as extending to and including such Paying Agent within its meaning as fully for
all intents and purposes as if such Paying Agent were named in this Article in addition to or in place of the
Trustee.








         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.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Indenture to be duly executed, and their
respective corporate seals to be hereunto affixed and attested.

                                        of the Indenture referred to below)

[-------------------------],
as Securities Registrar [address]

                         Re: [Title of Securities] of BB&T Corporation (the "Securities")

         Reference is made to the Junior Subordinated Indenture, dated as of            , 20__ (the "Indenture"),
between BB&T Corporation, a North Carolina corporation, and U.S. Bank National Association, a national banking
association, as Trustee.  Terms used herein and defined in the Indenture or in Regulation S, Rule 144A or Rule
144 under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act") are used herein as so defined.

         This certificate relates to $_____________ aggregate principal amount of Securities, which are evidenced
by the following certificate(s) (the "Specified Securities"):

         CUSIP No(s). ___________________________
         CERTIFICATE No(s). _____________________
         CURRENTLY IN BOOK-ENTRY FORM:   Yes ___    No ___ (check one)

         The person in whose name this certificate is executed below (the "Undersigned") hereby certifies that
either (i) it is the sole beneficial owner of the Specified Securities or (ii) it is acting on behalf of all the
beneficial owners of the Specified Securities and is duly authorized by them to do so.  Such beneficial owner or
owners are referred to herein collectively as the "Owner".  If the Specified Securities are represented by a
Global Security, they are held through a Depositary (except in the name of the "The Depository Trust Company") or
an Agent Member in the name of the Undersigned, as or on behalf of the Owner. If the Specified Securities are not
represented by a Global Security, they are registered in the name of the Undersigned, as or on behalf of the
Owner.

         The Owner has requested that the Specified Securities be transferred to a person (the "Transferee") who
will take delivery in the form of a Restricted Security.  In connection with such transfer, the Owner hereby
certifies that, unless such transfer is being effected pursuant to an effective registration statement under the
Securities Act, it is being effected in accordance with Rule 144A, Rule 904 of Regulation S or Rule 144 under the
Securities Act and all applicable securities laws of the states of the United States and other jurisdictions.
Accordingly, the Owner hereby further certifies as:

         (1)      Rule 144A Transfers.  If the transfer is being effected in accordance with Rule 144A:

                  (A)      the Specified Securities are being transferred to a person that the Owner and any
         person acting on its behalf reasonably believe is a "qualified institutional buyer" within the meaning
         of Rule 144A, acquiring for its own account or for the account of a qualified institutional buyer; and

                  (B)      the Owner and any person acting on its behalf have taken reasonable steps to ensure
         that the Transferee is aware that the Owner may be relying on Rule 144A in connection with the transfer;
         and

         (2)      Rule 904 Transfers.  If the transfer is being effected in accordance with Rule 904:

                  (A)      the Owner is not a distributor of the Securities, an affiliate of the Corporation or
         any such distributor or a person acting in behalf of any of the foregoing;

                  (B)      the offer of the Specified Securities was not made to a person in the United States;

                  (C)      either;

                           (i)      at the time the buy order was originated, the Transferee was outside the
                  United States or the Owner and any person acting on its behalf reasonably believed that the
                  Transferee was outside the United States, or

                           (ii)     the transaction is being executed in, on or through the facilities of the
                  Eurobond market, as regulated by the Association of International Bond Dealers, or another
                  designated offshore securities market and neither the Owner nor any person acting on its behalf
                  knows that the transaction has been prearranged with a buyer in the United States;

                  (D)      no directed selling efforts have been made in the United States by or on behalf of the
         Owner or any affiliate thereof; and

                  (E)      the transaction is not part of a plan or scheme to evade the registration requirements
         of the Securities act.

         (3)      Rule 144 Transfers.  If the transfer is being effected pursuant  to Rule 144:

                  (A)      the transfer is occurring after a holding period of at least one year (computed in
         accordance with paragraph (d) of Rule 144) has elapsed since the date the Specified Securities were
         acquired from the Corporation or from an affiliate (as such term is defined in Rule 144) of the
         Corporation, whichever is later, and is being effected in accordance with the applicable amount, manner
         of sale and notice requirements of paragraphs (e), (f) and (h) of Rule 144;

                  (B)      the transfer is occurring after a holding period by the Owner of at least two years
         has elapsed since the date the Specified Securities were acquired from the Corporation or from an
         affiliate (as such term is defined in Rule 144) of the Corporation, whichever is later, and the Owner is
         not, and during the preceding three months has not been, an affiliate of the Corporation; or

                  (C)      the Owner is a qualified institutional buyer within the meaning of Rule 144a, and is
         transferring the Securities to an institution that is an "accredited investor" within the meaning of
         Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) of Regulation D under the Securities Act in a transaction exempt from
         the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

         This certificate and the statements contained herein are made for your benefit and the benefit of the
Corporation and the "Initial Purchaser" (as defined in the Trust Agreement relating to the Issuer Trust to which
the Securities were initially issued).
