          trust by the Company (if the Company shall act as its own) for the
          Holders of such Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto,
          provided that, if such Securities are to be redeemed, notice of such
          redemption has been duly given pursuant to this Indenture or provision
          therefor satisfactory to the Trustee has been made;

     (c)  any such Security with respect to which the Company has effected
          defeasance pursuant to the terms hereof, except to the extent provided
          in Section 4.2; and

     (d)  any such Security which has been paid pursuant to Section 3.6 or in
          exchange for or in lieu of which other Securities have been
          authenticated and delivered pursuant to this Indenture, unless there
          shall have been presented to the Trustee proof satisfactory to it that
          such Security is held by a bona fide purchaser in whose hands such
          Security is a valid obligation of the Company;

     provided, however, that in determining whether the Holders of the requisite
principal amount of Outstanding Securities have given any request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver hereunder or are present at
a meeting of Holders of Securities for quorum purposes, (i) the principal amount
of an Original Issue Discount Security that may be counted in making such
determination and that shall be deemed to be Outstanding for such purposes shall
be equal to the amount of the principal thereof that pursuant to the terms of
such Original Issue Discount Security would be declared (or shall have been
declared to be) due and payable upon a declaration of acceleration thereof
pursuant to Section 5.2 at the time of such determination, and (ii) the
principal amount of any Indexed Security that may be counted in making such
determination and that shall be deemed Outstanding for such purposes shall be
equal to the principal face amount of such Indexed Security at original
issuance, unless otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, and (iii)
the principal amount of a Security denominated in a Foreign Currency shall be
the Dollar equivalent, determined on the date of original issuance of such
Security, of the principal amount (or, in the case of an Original Issue Discount
Security, the Dollar equivalent on the date of original issuance of such
Security of the amount determined as provided in (i) above) of such Security,
and (iv) Securities owned by the Company or any other obligor upon the
Securities or any Affiliate of the Company or such other obligor, shall be
disregarded and deemed not to be Outstanding, except that, in determining
whether the Trustee shall be protected in making any such determination or
relying upon any such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent
or waiver, only Securities which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee actually
knows to be so owned shall be so disregarded. Securities so owned which shall
have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as Outstanding if the pledgee
establishes to the satisfaction of the Trustee (A) the pledgee's right so to act
with respect to such Securities and (B) that the pledgee is not the Company or
any other obligor upon the Securities or any Coupons appertaining thereto or an

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. If, but only if, Securities of a series are issuable as
Bearer Securities, any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
consent, waiver or other action provided in or pursuant to this Indenture to be
given or taken by Holders of Securities of such series may, alternatively, be
embodied in and evidenced by the record of Holders of Securities of such series
voting in favor thereof, either in person or by proxies duly appointed in
writing, at any meeting of Holders of Securities of such series duly called and
held in accordance with the provisions of Article 15, or a combination of such
instruments and any such record. Except as herein otherwise expressly provided,
such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments or record
or both are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required,
to the Company. Such instrument or instruments and any such record (and the
action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to
as the "Act" of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments or so voting
at any such meeting. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing
appointing any such agent, or of the holding by any Person of a Security, shall
be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 315 of
the Trust Indenture Act) conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Company and
any agent of the Trustee or the Company, if made in the manner provided in this
Section. The record of any meeting of Holders of Securities shall be proved in
the manner provided in Section 15.6.

     Without limiting the generality of this Section 1.4, unless otherwise
provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, a Holder, including a U.S. Depository
that is a Holder of a global Security, may make, give or take, by a proxy or
proxies duly appointed in writing, any request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act provided in or pursuant to this
Indenture to be made, given or taken by Holders, and a U.S. Depository that is a
Holder of a global Security may provide its proxy or proxies to the beneficial
owners of interests in any such global Security through such U.S. Depository's
standing instructions and customary practices.

     The Company shall fix a record date for the purpose of determining the
Persons who are beneficial owners of interest in any permanent global Security
held by a U.S. Depository entitled under the procedures of such U.S. Depository
to make, give or take, by a proxy or proxies duly appointed in writing, any
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act
provided in or pursuant to this Indenture to be made, given or taken by Holders.
If such a record date is fixed, the Holders on such record date or their duly
appointed proxy or proxies, and only such Persons, shall be entitled to make,
give or take such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent,
waiver or other Act, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such
record date. No such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent,
waiver or other Act shall be valid or effective if made, given or taken more
than 90 days after such record date.

     (2) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument
or writing referred to in this Section 1.4 may be proved in any reasonable
manner; and the Trustee may in any instance reasonably require further proof
with respect to any of the matters referred to in this Section.

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

     (4) The ownership, principal amount and serial numbers of Bearer Securities
held by any Person, and the date of the commencement and the date of the
termination of holding the same, may be proved by the production of such Bearer
Securities or by a certificate executed, as depositary, by any trust company,
bank, banker or other depositary reasonably acceptable to the Company, wherever
situated, if such certificate shall be deemed by the Company and the Trustee to
be satisfactory, showing that at the date therein mentioned such Person had on
deposit with such depositary, or exhibited to it, the Bearer Securities therein
described; or such facts may be proved by the certificate or affidavit of the
Person holding such Bearer Securities, if such certificate or affidavit is
deemed by the Trustee to be satisfactory. The Trustee and the Company may assume
that such ownership of any Bearer Security continues until (i) another
certificate or affidavit bearing a later date issued in respect of the same
Bearer Security is produced, or (ii) such Bearer Security is produced to the
Trustee by some other Person, or (iii) such Bearer Security is surrendered in
exchange for a Registered Security, or (iv) such Bearer Security is no longer
Outstanding. The ownership, principal amount and serial numbers of Bearer
Securities held by the Person so executing such instrument or writing and the
date of the commencement and the date of the termination of holding the same may
also be proved in any other manner which the Company and the Trustee deem
sufficient.

     (5) If the Company shall solicit from the Holders of any Registered
Securities any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent,
waiver or other Act, the Company may at its option (but is not obligated to), by
Board Resolution fix in advance a record date for the determination of Holders
of Registered Securities entitled to give such request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act. If such a record date is fixed,
such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other
Act may be given before or after such record date, but only the Holders of
Registered Securities of record at the close of business on such record date
shall be deemed to be Holders for the purpose of determining whether Holders of
the requisite proportion of Outstanding Securities have authorized or agreed or
consented to such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent,
waiver or other Act, and for that purpose the Outstanding Securities shall be
computed as of such record date; provided that no such authorization, agreement
or consent by the Holders of Registered Securities shall be deemed effective
unless it shall become effective pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture
not later than six months after the record date.

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

Section 1.5    Notices, etc. to Trustee and Company.

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

     (1) the Trustee by any Holder or the Company shall be sufficient for every
purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or filed in writing and delivered in
person or mailed by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested to or
with the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office, or

     (2) the Company by the Trustee or any Holder shall be sufficient for every
purpose hereunder (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and
mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to the Company, addressed to the attention
of its Treasurer, with a copy to the attention of its General Counsel, 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 Company.

Section 1.6    Notice to Holders of Securities; Waiver.

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

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

     (2) such notice shall be sufficiently given to Holders of Bearer
Securities, if any, if published in an Authorized Newspaper in The City of New
York and, if such Securities are then listed on any stock exchange outside the
United States, in an Authorized Newspaper in such city as the Company shall
advise the Trustee that such stock exchange so requires, on a Business Day at
least twice, the first such publication to be not earlier than the earliest date
and the second such publication not later than the latest date prescribed for
the giving of such notice.

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

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

     Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be
waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before
or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice.
Waivers of notice by Holders of Securities shall be filed with the Trustee, but
such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action
taken in reliance upon such waiver. Section 1.7.......Language of Notices.

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

Section 1.8    Conflict with Trust Indenture Act.

     If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with any duties
under any required provision of the Trust Indenture Act, such required provision
shall control.

right, remedy or claim under this Indenture.

entered into and, in each case, performed in said state.

Section 1.14   Legal Holidays.

     Unless otherwise specified in or pursuant to this Indenture or any
Securities, in any case where any Interest Payment Date, Stated Maturity or
Maturity of any Security shall be a Legal Holiday at any Place of Payment, then
(notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, any Security or any
Coupon other than a provision in any Security or Coupon that specifically states
that such provision shall apply in lieu hereof) payment need not be made at such
Place of Payment on such date, but such payment may be made on the next
succeeding day that is a Business Day at such Place of Payment with the same
force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date or at the Stated
Maturity or Maturity, and no interest shall accrue on the amount payable on such
date or at such time for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date,
Stated Maturity or Maturity, as the case may be, to such next succeeding

be an original and all of which shall constitute but one and the same
instrument.

premium or interest, if any, or Additional Amounts on the Securities of any
series (the "Required Currency") into a currency in which a judgment will be
rendered (the "Judgment Currency"), the rate of exchange used shall be the rate
at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Trustee could purchase
in The City of New York the requisite amount of the Required Currency with the
Judgment Currency on the New York Banking Day preceding the day on which a final
unappealable judgment is given and (b) their respective obligations under this
Indenture to make payments in the Required Currency (i) shall not be discharged
or satisfied by any tender, or any recovery pursuant to any judgment (whether or
not entered in accordance with clause (a)), in any currency other than the
Required Currency, except to the extent that such tender or recovery shall
result in the actual receipt, by the payee, of the full amount of the Required
Currency expressed to be payable in respect of such payments, (ii) shall be
enforceable as an alternative or additional cause of action for the purpose of
recovering in the Required Currency the amount, if any, by which such actual
receipt shall fall short of the full amount of the Required Currency so
expressed to be payable and (iii) shall not be affected by judgment being
obtained for any other sum due under this Indenture. For purposes of the
foregoing, "New York Banking Day" means any day except a Saturday, Sunday or a
legal holiday in The City of New York or a day on which banking institutions in
The City of New York are authorized or obligated by law, regulation or executive
order to be closed.

Section 1.17   No Security Interest Created.

Company is or may be located.

Section 2.3    Securities in Global Form.

     Unless otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture or any
Securities, the Securities shall be issuable in temporary or permanent global
form. If Securities of a series shall be issuable in global form, any such
Security may provide that it or any number of such Securities shall represent
the aggregate amount of all Outstanding Securities of such series (or such
lesser amount as is permitted by the terms thereof) from time to time endorsed
thereon and may also provide that the aggregate amount of Outstanding Securities
represented thereby may from time to time be increased or reduced to reflect
exchanges. Any endorsement of any Security in global form to reflect the amount,
or any increase or decrease in the amount, or changes in the rights of Holders,
of Outstanding Securities represented thereby shall be made in such manner and
by such Person or Persons as shall be specified therein or in the Company Order
to be delivered pursuant to Section 3.3 or 3.4 with respect thereto. Subject to
the provisions of Section 3.3 and, if applicable, Section 3.4, the Trustee shall
deliver and redeliver, in each case at the Company's expense, any Security in
permanent global form in the manner and upon instructions given by the Person or
Persons specified therein or in the applicable Company Order. If a Company Order
pursuant to Section 3.3 or 3.4 has been, or simultaneously is, delivered, any
instructions by the Company with respect to a Security in global form shall be
in writing but need not be accompanied by or contained in an Officers'
Certificate and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel.

     Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.7, unless otherwise specified
in or pursuant to this Indenture or any Securities, payment of principal of, any
premium and interest on, and any Additional Amounts in respect of, any Security
in temporary or permanent global form shall be made to the Person or Persons
specified therein.

     Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.8 and except as provided in the
preceding paragraph, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or
the Trustee shall treat as the Holder of such principal amount of Outstanding
Securities represented by a global Security (i) in the case of a global Security
in registered form, the Holder of such global Security in registered form, or
(ii) in the case of a global Security in bearer form, the Person or Persons
specified pursuant to Section 3.1.

integral multiple thereof, and the Bearer Securities denominated in Dollars
shall be issuable in the denomination of $5,000. Securities not denominated in
Dollars shall be issuable in such denominations as are established with respect
to such Securities in or pursuant to this Indenture.

Section 3.3    Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating.

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

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

     At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this
Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities, together with any Coupons
appertaining thereto, executed by the Company, to the Trustee for authentication
and, provided that the Board Resolution and Officers' Certificate or
supplemental indenture or indentures with respect to such Securities referred to
in Section 3.1 and a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such
Securities have been delivered to the Trustee, the Trustee in accordance with
the Company Order and subject to the provisions hereof and of such Securities
shall authenticate and deliver such Securities. In authenticating such
Securities, and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture
in relation to such Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto, the Trustee
shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Sections 315(a) through 315(d) of
the Trust Indenture Act) shall be fully protected in relying upon,

     (1) an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that:

          (a)  the form or forms and terms of such Securities and Coupons, if
               any, have been established in conformity with the provisions of
               this Indenture;

          (b)  all conditions precedent to the authentication and delivery of
               such Securities and Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto, have
               been complied with and that such Securities and Coupons, when
               completed by appropriate insertions, executed under the Company's
               corporate seal and attested by duly authorized officers of the
               Company, delivered by duly authorized officers of the Company to
               the Trustee for authentication pursuant to this Indenture, and
               authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and issued by the
               Company in the manner and subject to any conditions specified in
               such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute legally valid and
               binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the
               Company in accordance with their terms, except as enforcement
               thereof may be subject to or limited by bankruptcy, insolvency,
               reorganization, moratorium, arrangement, fraudulent conveyance,
               fraudulent transfer or other similar laws relating to or
               affecting creditors' rights generally, and subject to general
               principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought
               in a proceeding in equity or at law) and will entitle the Holders
               thereof to the benefits of this Indenture; such Opinion of
               Counsel need express no opinion as to the availability of
               equitable remedies; and

          (c)  all laws and requirements in respect of the execution and
               delivery by the Company of such Securities and Coupons, if any,
               have been complied with;

and, to the extent that this Indenture is required to be qualified under the
Trust Indenture Act in connection with the issuance of such Securities, to the
further effect that:

          (d)  this Indenture has been qualified under the Trust Indenture Act;
               and

     (2) an Officers' Certificate stating that all conditions precedent to the
execution, authentication and delivery of such Securities and Coupons, if any,
appertaining thereto, have been complied with and that, to the best knowledge of
the Persons executing such certificate, no event which is, or after notice or
lapse of time would become, an Event of Default with respect to any of the
Securities shall have occurred and be continuing.

     If all the Securities of any series are not to be issued at one time, it
shall not be necessary to deliver an Opinion of Counsel and an Officers'
Certificate at the time of issuance of each Security, but such opinion and
certificate, with appropriate modifications, shall be delivered at or before the
time of issuance of the first Security of such series. After any such first
delivery, any separate written request by an Authorized Officer of the Company
that the Trustee authenticate and deliver Securities of such series for original
issue will be deemed to be a certification by the Company that all conditions
precedent provided for in this Indenture relating to authentication and delivery
of such Securities continue to have been complied with.

     The Trustee shall not be required to authenticate or to cause an
Authenticating Agent to authenticate any Securities if the issue of such
Securities pursuant to this Indenture will affect the Trustee's own rights,
duties or immunities, as Trustee under the Securities and this Indenture or
otherwise in a manner which is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee or if
the Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines that such action may not
lawfully be taken.

     Each Registered Security shall be dated the date of its authentication.
Each Bearer Security and any Bearer Security in global form shall be dated as of
the date specified in or pursuant to this Indenture.

     No Security or Coupon appertaining thereto 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 in Section 2.2 or 6.11 executed by or on behalf of the Trustee
or by the Authenticating Agent by the manual signature of one of its authorized
officers. Such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and
the only evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated and delivered
hereunder. Except as permitted by Section 3.6 or 3.7, the Trustee shall not
authenticate and deliver any Bearer Security unless all Coupons appertaining
thereto then matured have been detached and cancelled.

Section 3.4    Temporary Securities.

     Pending the preparation of definitive Securities, the Company may execute
and deliver to the Trustee and, upon Company Order, the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver, in the manner provided in Section 3.3, temporary
Securities in lieu thereof which are printed, lithographed, typewritten,
mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination,
substantially of the tenor of the definitive Securities in lieu of which they
are issued, in registered form or, if authorized in or pursuant to this
Indenture, in bearer form with one or more Coupons or without Coupons and with
such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as
the officers of the Company executing such Securities may determine, as
conclusively evidenced by their execution of such Securities. Such temporary
Securities may be in global form.

     Except in the case of temporary Securities in global form, which shall be
exchanged in accordance with the provisions thereof, if temporary Securities are
issued, the Company shall cause definitive Securities to be prepared without
unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Securities of the same
series and containing terms and provisions that are identical to those of any
temporary Securities, such temporary Securities shall be exchangeable for such
definitive Securities upon surrender of such temporary Securities at an Office
or Agency for such Securities, without charge to any Holder thereof. Upon
surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Securities (accompanied
by any unmatured Coupons appertaining thereto), the Company shall execute and
the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal
amount of definitive Securities of authorized denominations of the same series
and containing identical terms and provisions; provided, however, that no
definitive Bearer Security, except as provided in or pursuant to this Indenture,
shall be delivered in exchange for a temporary Registered Security; and
provided, further, that a definitive Bearer Security shall be delivered in
exchange for a temporary Bearer Security only in compliance with the conditions
set forth in or pursuant to this Indenture. Unless otherwise provided in or
pursuant to this Indenture with respect to a temporary global Security, 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    Registration, Transfer and Exchange.

     With respect to the Registered Securities of each series, if any, the
Company shall cause to be kept a register (each such register being herein
sometimes referred to as the "Security Register") at an Office or Agency for
such series in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may
prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of the Registered
Securities of such series and of transfers of the Registered Securities of such
series. Such Office or Agency shall be the "Security Registrar" for that series
of Securities. Unless otherwise specified in or pursuant to this Indenture or
the Securities, the Trustee shall be the initial Security Registrar for each
series of Securities. The Company shall have the right to remove and replace
from time to time the Security Registrar for any series of Securities; provided
that no such removal or replacement shall be effective until a successor
Security Registrar with respect to such series of Securities shall have been
appointed by the Company and shall have accepted such appointment by the
Company. In the event that the Trustee shall not be or shall cease to be
Security Registrar with respect to a series of Securities, it shall have the
right to examine the Security Register for such series at all reasonable times.
There shall be only one Security Register for each series of Securities.

     Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Registered Security of
any series at any Office or Agency for such series, the Company shall execute,
and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated
transferee or transferees, one or more new Registered Securities of the same
series denominated as authorized in or pursuant to this Indenture, of a like
aggregate principal amount bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding
and containing identical terms and provisions.

     At the option of the Holder, Registered Securities of any series may be
exchanged for other Registered Securities of the same series containing
identical terms and provisions, in any authorized denominations, and of a like
aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged at
any Office or Agency for such series. Whenever any Registered Securities are so
surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver, the Registered Securities which the Holder making the
exchange is entitled to receive.

     If provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, with respect to Securities of
any series, at the option of the Holder, Bearer Securities of such series may be
exchanged for Registered Securities of such series containing identical terms,
denominated as authorized in or pursuant to this Indenture and in the same
aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Bearer Securities to be
exchanged at any Office or Agency for such series, with all unmatured Coupons
and all matured Coupons in default thereto appertaining. If the Holder of a
Bearer Security is unable to produce any such unmatured Coupon or Coupons or
matured Coupon or Coupons in default, such exchange may be effected if the
Bearer Securities are accompanied by payment in funds acceptable to the Company
and the Trustee in an amount equal to the face amount of such missing Coupon or
Coupons, or the surrender of such missing Coupon or Coupons may be waived by the
Company and the Trustee if there is furnished to them such security or indemnity
as they may require to save each of them and any agent of either of them
harmless. If thereafter the Holder of such Bearer Security shall surrender to
any Paying Agent any such missing Coupon in respect of which such a payment
shall have been made, such Holder shall be entitled to receive the amount of
such payment; provided, however, that, except as otherwise provided in Section
10.2, interest represented by Coupons shall be payable only upon presentation
and surrender of those Coupons at an Office or Agency for such series located
outside the United States. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in case a Bearer
Security of any series is surrendered at any such Office or Agency for such
series in exchange for a Registered Security of such series and like tenor after
the close of business at such Office or Agency on (i) any Regular Record Date
and before the opening of business at such Office or Agency on the next
succeeding Interest Payment Date, or (ii) any Special Record Date and before the
opening of business at such Office or Agency on the related date for payment of
Defaulted Interest, such Bearer Security shall be surrendered without the Coupon
relating to such Interest Payment Date or proposed date of payment, as the case
may be (or, if such Coupon is so surrendered with such Bearer Security, such
Coupon shall be returned to the Person so surrendering the Bearer Security), and
interest or Defaulted Interest, as the case may be, shall not be payable on such
Interest Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as the case may be, in
respect of the Registered Security issued in exchange for such Bearer Security,
but shall be payable only to the Holder of such Coupon when due in accordance
with the provisions of this Indenture.

     If provided in or pursuant to this Indenture with respect to Securities of
any series, at the option of the Holder, Registered Securities of such series
may be exchanged for Bearer Securities upon such terms and conditions as may be
provided in or pursuant to this Indenture with respect to such series.

     Whenever any Securities are surrendered for exchange as contemplated by the
immediately preceding two paragraphs, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee
shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities which the Holder making the
exchange is entitled to receive.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as otherwise provided in or pursuant
to this Indenture, any global Security in a series shall be exchangeable for
definitive Securities of such series only if (i) the Depository is at any time
unwilling, unable to continue as depository or if the Depositary ceases to be
eligible under this Indenture and a successor depository is not appointed by the
Company within 90 days of the date the Company is so informed in writing, (ii)
the Company executes and delivers to the Trustee a Company Order to the effect
that such global Security shall be so exchangeable, or (iii) an Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing with respect to the Securities and the Holders of
at least a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such
series have requested definitive Securities. If the beneficial owners of
interests in a global Security are entitled to exchange such interests for
definitive Securities as the result of an event described in clause (i), (ii) or
(iii) of the preceding sentence, then without unnecessary delay but in any event
not later than the earliest date on which such interests may be so exchanged,
the Company shall deliver to the Trustee definitive Securities in such form and
denominations as are required by or pursuant to this Indenture, and of the same
series, containing identical terms and in aggregate principal amount equal to
the principal amount of such global Security, executed by the Company. On or
after the earliest date on which such interests may be so exchanged, such global
Security shall be surrendered from time to time by the U.S. Depository or such
other Depository as shall be specified in the Company Order with respect
thereto, and in accordance with instructions given to the Trustee and the U.S.
Depository or such other Depository, as the case may be (which instructions
shall be in writing but need not be contained in or accompanied by an Officers'
Certificate or be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel), as shall be specified
in the Company Order with respect thereto to the Trustee, as the Company's agent
for such purpose, to be exchanged, in whole or in part, for definitive
Securities as described above without charge. The Trustee shall authenticate and
make available for delivery, in exchange for each portion of such surrendered
global Security, a like aggregate principal amount of definitive Securities of
the same series of authorized denominations and of like tenor as the portion of
such global Security to be exchanged, which (unless such Securities are not
issuable both as Bearer Securities and as Registered Securities, in which case
the definitive Securities exchanged for the global Security shall be issuable
only in the form in which the Securities are issuable, as provided in or
pursuant to this Indenture) shall be in the form of Bearer Securities or
Registered Securities, or any combination thereof, as shall be specified by the
beneficial owner thereof, but subject to the satisfaction of any certification
or other requirements to the issuance of Bearer Securities; provided, however,
that no such exchanges may occur during a period beginning at the opening of
business 15 days before any selection of Securities of the same series to be
redeemed and ending on the relevant Redemption Date; and provided, further, that
(unless otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture) no Bearer Security
delivered in exchange for a portion of a global Security shall be mailed or
otherwise delivered to any location in the United States. Promptly following any
such exchange in part, such global Security shall be returned by the Trustee to
such Depository or the U.S. Depository, as the case may be, or such other
Depository or U.S. Depository referred to above in accordance with the
instructions of the Company referred to above. If a Registered Security is
issued in exchange for any portion of a global Security after the close of
business at the Office or Agency for such Security where such exchange occurs on
or after (i) any Regular Record Date for such Security and before the opening of
business at such Office or Agency on the next succeeding Interest Payment Date,
or (ii) any Special Record Date for such Security and before the opening of
business at such Office or Agency on the related proposed date for payment of
interest or Defaulted Interest, as the case may be, interest shall not be
payable on such Interest Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as the case
may be, in respect of such Registered Security, but shall be payable on such
Interest Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as the case may be, only to
the Person to whom interest in respect of such portion of such global Security
shall be payable in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.

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

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

     No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or
exchange, or redemption of Securities, but the Company may require payment of a
sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge and any other
expenses (including fees and expenses of the Trustee) that may be imposed in
connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, other
than exchanges pursuant to Section 3.4, 9.5 or 11.7 not involving any transfer.

     Except as otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, the Company
shall not be required (i) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any
Securities during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before
the day of the selection for redemption of Securities of like tenor and the same
series under Section 11.3 and ending at the close of business on the day of such
selection, or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Registered
Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except in the case of
any Security to be redeemed in part, the portion thereof not to be redeemed, or
(iii) to exchange any Bearer Security so selected for redemption except, to the
extent provided with respect to such Bearer Security, that such Bearer Security
may be exchanged for a Registered Security of like tenor and the same series,
provided that such Registered Security shall be immediately surrendered for
redemption with written instruction for payment consistent with the provisions
of this Indenture or (iv) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any
Security which, in accordance with its terms, has been surrendered for repayment
at the option of the Holder, except the portion, if any, of such Security not to
be so repaid.

Section 3.6    Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities.

     If any mutilated Security or a Security with a mutilated Coupon
appertaining to it is surrendered to the Trustee, subject to the provisions of
this Section 3.6, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate
and deliver in exchange therefor a new Security of the same series containing
identical terms and of like principal amount and bearing a number not
contemporaneously outstanding, with Coupons appertaining thereto corresponding
to the Coupons, if any, appertaining to the surrendered Security.

     If there be delivered to the Company and to the Trustee (i) evidence to
their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security or Coupon,
and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of
them and any agent of either of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to
the Company or the Trustee of any adverse claim or that such Security or Coupon
has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and, upon
the Company's request the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange
for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security or in
exchange for the Security to which a destroyed, lost or stolen Coupon appertains
with all appurtenant Coupons not destroyed, lost or stolen, a new Security of
the same series containing identical terms and of like principal amount and
bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding, with Coupons appertaining
thereto corresponding to the Coupons, if any, appertaining to such destroyed,
lost or stolen Security or to the Security to which such destroyed, lost or
stolen Coupon appertains.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.6, in case any
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security or Coupon has become or is about
to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing
a new Security, pay such Security or Coupon; provided, however, that payment of
principal of, any premium or interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect
to any Bearer Securities shall, except as otherwise provided in Section 10.2, be
payable only at an Office or Agency for such Securities located outside the
United States and, unless otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture,
any interest on Bearer Securities and any Additional Amounts with respect to
such interest shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of the
Coupons appertaining thereto.

     Upon the issuance of any new Security under this Section 3.6, the Company
may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other
expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith.

     Every new Security, with any Coupons appertaining thereto issued pursuant
to this Section 3.6 in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Security, or in
exchange for a Security to which a destroyed, lost or stolen Coupon appertains
shall constitute a separate obligation of the Company, whether or not the
destroyed, lost or stolen Security and Coupons appertaining thereto or the
destroyed, lost or stolen Coupon 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 such series and any
Coupons, if any, duly issued hereunder.

     The provisions of this Section 3.6, as amended or supplemented pursuant to
this Indenture with respect to particular Securities or generally, shall be
exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and
remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed,
lost or stolen Securities or Coupons.

Section 3.7    Payment of Interest and Certain Additional Amounts; Rights to
               Interest and Certain  Additional Amounts Preserved.

     Unless otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, any interest on
and any Additional Amounts with respect to any Registered Security which shall
be payable, and are punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest
Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Security (or one or
more Predecessor Securities) is registered as of the close of business on the
Regular Record Date for such interest.

     Unless otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, any interest on
and any Additional Amounts with respect to any Registered Security which shall
be payable, but shall not be punctually paid or duly provided for, on any
Interest Payment Date for such Registered Security (herein called "Defaulted
Interest") shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder thereof on the
relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder; and such
Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as
provided in clause (1) or (2) below:

     (1) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the
Person in whose name such Registered Security (or a Predecessor Security
thereof) shall be registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date
for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed by the Company
in the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the
amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on such Registered Security,
the Special Record Date therefor and the date of the proposed payment, and at
the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money
equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted
Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit
on or prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when so deposited to
be held in trust for the benefit of the Person entitled to such Defaulted
Interest as in this Clause provided. The Special Record Date for the payment of
such Defaulted Interest 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
notification to the Trustee of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall, in the
name and at the expense of the Company, cause notice of the proposed payment of
such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be mailed,
first-class postage prepaid, to the Holder of such Registered Security (or a
Predecessor Security thereof) at his address as it appears in the Security
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 Company cause a
similar notice to be published at least once in an Authorized Newspaper 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 Person in whose name such Registered
Security (or a Predecessor Security thereof) shall be registered at the close of
business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to
the following clause (2).

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

     Unless otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture or the
Securities of any particular series pursuant to the provisions of this
Indenture, at the option of the Company, interest on Registered Securities that
bear interest may be paid by mailing a check to the address of the Person
entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register or by
transfer to an account maintained by the payee with a bank located in the United
States.

     Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section and Section 3.5, each
Security delivered under this Indenture upon registration of 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, which were carried by such other Security.

Section 3.8    Persons Deemed Owners.

     Prior to due presentment of a Registered Security for registration of
transfer, the Company the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee
may treat the Person in whose name such Registered Security is registered in the
Security Register as the owner of such Registered Security for the purpose of
receiving payment of principal of, any premium and (subject to Section 3.5 and
3.7) interest on and any Additional Amounts with respect to such Registered
Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not any payment with
respect to such Registered Security shall be overdue, and none of the Company,
the Trustee or any agent of the Company, or the Trustee shall be affected by
notice to the contrary.

     The Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may
treat the bearer of any Bearer Security or the bearer of any Coupon as the
absolute owner of such Security or Coupon for the purpose of receiving payment
thereof or on account thereof and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or
not any payment with respect to such Security or Coupon shall be overdue, and
none of the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee
shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

     No Holder of any beneficial interest in any global Security held on its
behalf by a Depository shall have any rights under this Indenture with respect
to such global Security, and such Depository may be treated by the Company, the
Trustee, and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the owner of such global
Security for all purposes whatsoever. None of the Company, the Trustee, any
Paying Agent or the Security Registrar will have any responsibility or liability
for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of
beneficial ownership interests of a global Security or for maintaining,
supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership
interests.

Section 3.9    Cancellation.

     All Securities and Coupons surrendered for payment, redemption,
registration of transfer, exchange or conversion or for credit against any
sinking fund payment shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee,
be delivered to the Trustee, and any such Securities and Coupons, as well as
Securities and Coupons surrendered directly to the Trustee for any such purpose,
shall be cancelled promptly by the Trustee. The Company may at any time deliver
to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and
delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner
whatsoever, and all Securities so delivered shall be cancelled promptly by the
Trustee. No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any
Securities cancelled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted
by or pursuant to this Indenture. All cancelled Securities and Coupons held by
the Trustee shall be destroyed by the Trustee, unless by a Company Order, the
Company directs their return to it.

Section 3.10   Computation of Interest.

     Except as otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture or in any
Security, interest on the Securities shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day
year of twelve 30-day months.

                                   Article 4
                     SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE

Section 4.1    Satisfaction and Discharge.

     Upon the direction of the Company by a Company Order, this Indenture shall
cease to be of further effect with respect to any series of Securities specified
in such Company Order and any Coupons appertaining thereto, and the Trustee, on
receipt of a Company Order, at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper
instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture as to
such series, when

     (1) either

          (a)  all Securities of such series theretofore authenticated and
               delivered and all Coupons appertaining thereto (other than (i)
               Coupons appertaining to Bearer Securities of such series
               surrendered in exchange for Registered Securities of such series
               and maturing after such exchange whose surrender is not required
               or has been waived as provided in Section 3.5, (ii) Securities
               and Coupons of such series which have been destroyed, lost or
               stolen and which have been replaced or paid as provided in
               Section 3.6, (iii) Coupons appertaining to Securities of such
               series called for redemption and maturing after the relevant
               Redemption Date whose surrender has been waived as provided in
               Section 11.7, and (iv) Securities and Coupons of such series for
               whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust or
               segregated and held in trust by the Company and thereafter repaid
               to the Company or discharged from such trust, as provided in
               Section 10.3) have been delivered to the Trustee for
               cancellation; or

          (b)  all Securities of such series and, in the case of (i) or (ii)
               below, any Coupons appertaining thereto 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, or

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

               and the Company, in the case of (i), (ii) or (iii) above, has
               deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust
               funds in trust for such purpose, money in the Currency in which
               such Securities are payable in an amount sufficient to pay and
               discharge the entire indebtedness on such Securities and any
               Coupons appertaining thereto not theretofore delivered to the
               Trustee for cancellation, including the principal of, any premium
               and interest on, and any Additional Amounts with respect to such
               Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto, to the date of
               such deposit (in the case of Securities which have become due and
               payable) or to the Maturity thereof, as the case may be;

     (2) the Company has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable
hereunder by the Company with respect to the Outstanding Securities of such
series and any Coupons appertaining thereto; and

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

     In the event there are Securities of two or more series hereunder, the
Trustee shall be required to execute an instrument acknowledging satisfaction
and discharge of this Indenture only if requested to do so with respect to
Securities of such series as to which it is Trustee and if the other conditions
thereto are met.

     Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with
respect to any series of Securities, the obligations of the Company to the
Trustee under Section 6.6 and, if money shall have been deposited with the
Trustee pursuant to clause (1)(b) of this Section, the obligations of the
Company and the Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series under
Sections 3.5, 3.6, 4.3, 10.2 and 10.3, with respect to the payment of Additional
Amounts, if any, with respect to such Securities as contemplated by Section 10.4
(but only to the extent that the Additional Amounts payable with respect to such
Securities exceed the amount deposited in respect of such Additional Amounts
pursuant to Section 4.1(1)(b)) shall survive.

Section 4.2    Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance.

     (1) Unless pursuant to Section 3.1, either or both of (i) defeasance of the
Securities of or within a series under Section 4.2(2) shall not be applicable
with respect to the Securities of such series or (ii) covenant defeasance of the
Securities of or within a series under Section 4.2(3) shall not be applicable
with respect to the Securities of such series, then such provisions, together
with the other provisions of this Section 4.2 (with such modifications thereto
as may be specified pursuant to Section 3.1 with respect to any Securities),
shall be applicable to such Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto, and
the Company may at its option by Board Resolution, at any time, with respect to
such Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto, elect to have Section
4.2(2) or Section 4.2(3) be applied to such Outstanding Securities and any
Coupons appertaining thereto upon compliance with the conditions set forth below
in this Section 4.2.

     (2) Upon the Company's exercise of the above option applicable to this
Section 4.2(2) with respect to any Securities of or within a series, the Company
shall be deemed to have been discharged from its obligations with respect to
such Outstanding Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto on the date the
conditions set forth in Section 4.2(4) are satisfied (hereinafter,
"defeasance"). For this purpose, such defeasance means that the Company shall be
deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Debt represented by such
Outstanding Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto, which shall
thereafter be deemed to be "Outstanding" only for the purposes of Section 4.2(5)
and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in clauses (i) and (ii)
below, and to have satisfied all of its other obligations under such Securities
and any Coupons appertaining thereto, and under the Guarantee in respect
thereof, and this Indenture insofar as such Securities and any Coupons
appertaining thereto are concerned (and the Trustee, at the expense of the
Company shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the
following which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged
hereunder: (i) the rights of Holders of such Outstanding Securities and any
Coupons appertaining thereto to receive, solely from the trust fund described in
Section 4.2(4) and as more fully set forth in such clause, payments in respect
of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on, and
Additional Amounts, if any, with respect to, such Securities and any Coupons
appertaining thereto when such payments are due, (ii) the obligations of the
Company and the Trustee with respect to such Securities under Sections 3.5, 3.6,
6.6, 10.2 and 10.3 and with respect to the payment of Additional Amounts, if
any, on such Securities as contemplated by Section 10.4 (but only to the extent
that the Additional Amounts payable with respect to such Securities exceed the
amount deposited in respect of such Additional Amounts pursuant to Section
4.2(4)(a) below), (iii) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the
Trustee hereunder and (iv) this Section 4.2. The Company may exercise its option
under this Section 4.2(2) notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under
Section 4.2(3) with respect to such Securities and any Coupons appertaining
thereto.

     (3) Upon the Company's exercise of the option to have this Section 4.2(3)
apply with respect to any Securities of or within a series, the Company shall be
released from its obligations under Section 10.5 and, to the extent specified
pursuant to any indenture supplement, any other covenant applicable to such
Securities, with respect to such Outstanding Securities and any Coupons
appertaining thereto on and after the date the conditions set forth in clause
(4) of this Section 4.2 are satisfied (hereinafter, "covenant defeasance"), and
such Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto shall thereafter be deemed
to be not "Outstanding" for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or
declaration or Act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in
connection with any such covenant, but shall continue to be deemed "Outstanding"
for all other purposes hereunder. For this purpose, such covenant defeasance
means that, with respect to such Outstanding Securities and any Coupons
appertaining thereto, the Company may omit to comply with, and shall have no
liability in respect of, any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such
Section or such other covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any
reference elsewhere herein to any such Section or such other covenant or by
reason of reference in any such Section or such other covenant to any other
provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not
constitute a default or an Event of Default under Section 5.1(4) or 5.1(8) or
otherwise, as the case may be, but, except as specified above, the remainder of
this Indenture and such Securities and Coupons appertaining thereto shall be
unaffected thereby.

     (4) The following shall be the conditions to application of Section 4.2(2)
or Section 4.2(3) to any Outstanding Securities of or within a series and any
Coupons appertaining thereto:

          (a)  The Company shall irrevocably have deposited or caused to be
               deposited with the Trustee (or another trustee satisfying the
               requirements of Section 6.7 who shall agree to comply with the
               provisions of this Section 4.2 applicable to it) as trust funds
               in trust for the purpose of making the following payments,
               specifically pledged as security for, and dedicated solely to,
               the benefit of the Holders of such Securities and any Coupons
               appertaining thereto, (1) an amount in Dollars or in such Foreign
               Currency in which such Securities and any Coupons appertaining
               thereto are then specified as payable at Stated Maturity, or (2)
               Government Obligations applicable to such Securities and Coupons
               appertaining thereto (determined on the basis of the Currency in
               which such Securities and Coupons appertaining thereto are then
               specified as payable at Stated Maturity) which through the
               scheduled payment of principal and interest in respect thereof in
               accordance with their terms will provide, not later than one day
               before the due date of any payment of principal of (and premium,
               if any) and interest, if any, on such Securities and any Coupons
               appertaining thereto, money in an amount, or (3) a combination
               thereof, in any case, in an amount, sufficient, without
               consideration of any reinvestment of such principal and interest,
               in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent
               public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof
               delivered to the Trustee, to pay and discharge, and which shall
               be applied by the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee) to pay
               and discharge, (y) the principal of (and premium, if any) and
               interest, if any, on such Outstanding Securities and any Coupons
               appertaining thereto at the Stated Maturity of such principal or
               installment of principal or premium or interest and (z) any
               mandatory sinking fund payments or analogous payments applicable
               to such Outstanding Securities and any Coupons appertaining
               thereto on the days on which such payments are due and payable in
               accordance with the terms of this Indenture and of such
               Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto.

          (b)  Such defeasance or covenant defeasance shall not result in a
               breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, this
               Indenture or any other material agreement or instrument to which
               the Company is a party or by which it is bound.

          (c)  No Event of Default or event which with notice or lapse of time
               or both would become an Event of Default with respect to such
               Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto shall have
               occurred and be continuing on the date of establishment of such
               trust and, with respect to defeasance only, at any time during
               the period ending on the 91st day after the date of such deposit
               (it being understood that this condition shall not be deemed
               satisfied until the expiration of such period).

          (d)  In the case of an election under clause (2) of this Section 4.2,
               the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of
               Counsel stating that (i) the Company has received from the
               Internal Revenue Service a letter ruling, or there has been
               published by the Internal Revenue Service a Revenue Ruling, or
               (ii) since the date of execution of this Indenture, there has
               been a change in the applicable Federal income tax law, in either
               case to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion shall
               confirm that, the Holders of such Outstanding Securities and any
               Coupons appertaining thereto will not recognize income, gain or
               loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such
               defeasance and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same
               amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have
               been the case if such defeasance had not occurred.

          (e)  In the case of an election under clause (3) of this Section 4.2,
               the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of
               Counsel to the effect that the Holders of such Outstanding
               Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto will not
               recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as
               a result of such covenant defeasance and will be subject to
               Federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at
               the same times as would have been the case if such covenant
               defeasance had not occurred.

          (f)  The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of
               Counsel to the effect that, after the 91st day after the date of
               establishment of such trust, all money and Government Obligations
               (or other property as may be provided pursuant to Section 3.1)
               (including the proceeds thereof) deposited or caused to be
               deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee) pursuant
               to Section 4.2(4) to be held in trust will not be subject to any
               case or proceeding (whether voluntary or involuntary) in respect
               of the Company under any Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency,
               reorganization or other similar law, or any decree or order for
               relief in respect of the Company issued in connection therewith.

          (g)  The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers'
               Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all
               conditions precedent to the defeasance or covenant defeasance
               under Section 4.2(2) or Section 4.2(3) (as the case may be) have
               been complied with.

          (h)  Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 4.2(4), such
               defeasance or covenant defeasance shall be effected in compliance
               with any additional or substitute terms, conditions or
               limitations which may be imposed on the Company in connection
               therewith pursuant to Section 3.1.

     (5) Unless otherwise specified in or pursuant to this Indenture or any
Security, if, after a deposit referred to in Section 4.2(4)(a) has been made,
(a) the Holder of a Security in respect of which such deposit was made is
entitled to, and does, elect pursuant to Section 3.1 or the terms of such
Security to receive payment in a Currency other than that in which the deposit
pursuant to Section 4.2(4)(a) has been made in respect of such Security, or (b)
a Conversion Event occurs in respect of the Foreign Currency in which the
deposit pursuant to Section 4.2(4)(a) has been made, the indebtedness
represented by such Security and any Coupons appertaining thereto shall be
deemed to have been, and will be, fully discharged and satisfied through the
payment of the principal of (and premium, if any), and interest, if any, on, and
Additional Amounts, if any, with respect to, such Security as the same becomes
due out of the proceeds yielded by converting (from time to time as specified
below in the case of any such election) the amount or other property deposited
in respect of such Security into the Currency in which such Security becomes
payable as a result of such election or Conversion Event based on (x) in the
case of payments made pursuant to clause (a) above, the applicable market
exchange rate for such Currency in effect on the second Business Day prior to
each payment date, or (y) with respect to a Conversion Event, the applicable
market exchange rate for such Foreign Currency in effect (as nearly as feasible)
at the time of the Conversion Event. The Company shall pay and indemnify the
Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of Section 4.3,
the "Trustee") against any tax, fee or other charge, imposed on or assessed
against the Government Obligations deposited pursuant to this Section 4.2 or the
principal or interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee
or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of such
Outstanding Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto.

     Anything in this Section 4.2 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee
shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon Company Request, any
money or Government Obligations (or other property and any proceeds therefrom)
held by it as provided in clause (4) of this Section 4.2 which, in the opinion
of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a
written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the
amount thereof which would then be required to be deposited to effect a
defeasance or covenant defeasance, as applicable, in accordance with this
Section 4.2.

Section 4.3    Application of Trust Money.

     Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 10.3, all money
and Government Obligations (or other property as may be provided pursuant to
Section 3.1) (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee
pursuant to Section 4.1 or 4.2 in respect of any Outstanding Securities of any
series and any Coupons appertaining thereto shall be held in trust and applied
by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Securities and any
Coupons appertaining thereto and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly
or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying
Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Securities and any
Coupons appertaining thereto of all sums due and to become due thereon in
respect of principal (and premium, if any) and interest and Additional Amounts,
if any; but such money and Government Obligations need not be segregated from
other funds except to the extent required by law.

Section 5.2    Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.

     If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series at the time
Outstanding (other than an Event of Default with respect to the Company
specified in Section 5.1(7) or Section 5.1(8)) occurs and is continuing, then
the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of such series may declare the principal of all the
Securities of such series, or such lesser amount as may be provided for in the
Securities of such series, to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in
writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by the Holders), and upon
any such declaration such principal or such lesser amount shall become
immediately due and payable.

     If an Event of Default with respect to the Company specified in Section
5.1(7) or Section 5.1(8) occurs, all unpaid principal of and accrued interest on
the Outstanding Securities of that series (or such lesser amount as may be
provided for in the Securities of such series) shall ipso facto become and be
immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of
the Trustee or any Holder of any Security of that series.

     At any time after a declaration of acceleration with respect to the
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 not less than a majority in principal amount of
the Outstanding Securities of such series, by written notice to the Company, and
the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if

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

          (a)  all overdue installments of any interest on and Additional
               Amounts with respect to all Securities of such series and any
               Coupon appertaining thereto,

          (b)  the principal of and any premium on any Securities of such series
               which have become due otherwise than by such declaration of
               acceleration and interest thereon and any Additional Amounts with
               respect thereto at the rate or rates borne by or provided for in
               such Securities,

          (c)  to the extent that payment of such interest or Additional Amounts
               is lawful, interest upon overdue installments of any interest and
               Additional Amounts at the rate or rates borne by or provided for
               in such Securities, and

          (d)  all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and the
               reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of
               the Trustee, its agents and counsel and all other amounts due the
               Trustee under Section 6.6; and

     (2) all Events of Default with respect to Securities of such series, other
than the non-payment of the principal of, any premium and interest on, and any
Additional Amounts with respect to Securities of such series which shall have
become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, shall have been cured or
waived as provided in Section 5.13.

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

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

     The Company covenants that if

     (1) default is made in the payment of any installment of interest on or any
Additional Amounts with respect to any Security or any Coupon appertaining
thereto when such interest or Additional Amounts shall have become due and
payable and such default continues for a period of 30 days, or

     (2) default is made in the payment of the principal of or any premium on
any Security or any Additional Amounts with respect thereto at their Maturity,
the Company shall, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to the Trustee, for the
benefit of the Holders of such Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto,
the whole amount of money then due and payable with respect to such Securities
and any Coupons appertaining thereto, with interest upon the overdue principal,
any premium and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally
enforceable, upon any overdue installments of interest and Additional Amounts at
the rate or rates borne by or provided for in such Securities, and, in addition
thereto, such further amount of money as shall be sufficient to cover the costs
and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel and all other
amounts due to the Trustee under Section 6.6.

     If the Company fails to pay the money it is required to pay the Trustee
pursuant to the preceding paragraph forthwith upon the demand of the Trustee,
the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a
judicial proceeding for the collection of the money so due and unpaid, and may
prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce the same
against the Company or any other obligor upon such Securities and any Coupons
appertaining thereto and collect the monies adjudged or decreed to be payable in
the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or any other
obligor upon such Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto, 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 and any
Coupons appertaining thereto 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 such Securities or in aid of the exercise of any power granted
herein or therein, or to enforce any other proper remedy.

Section 5.4    Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

     In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation,
bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other
judicial proceeding relative to the Company or any other obligor upon the
Securities of any series or the property of the Company or such other obligor or
their creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of the
Securities shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration
or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand
on the Company for the payment of any overdue principal, premium, interest or
Additional Amounts) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such
proceeding or otherwise,

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

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

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or
other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by
each Holder of Securities or any Coupons to make such payments to the Trustee
and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments
directly to the Holders of Securities or any Coupons, to pay to the Trustee any
amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and
advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel and any other amounts due the
Trustee under Section 6.6.

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

Section 5.5    Trustee May Enforce Claims without
               Possession of Securities or Coupons.

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

Section 5.6    Application of Money Collected.

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

     FIRST: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee and any predecessor
     Trustee under Section 6.6;

     SECOND: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid upon the
     Securities and any Coupons of the applicable series for principal and any
     premium, interest and Additional Amounts in respect of which or for the
     benefit of which such money has been collected, ratably, without preference
     or priority of any kind, according to the aggregate amounts due and payable
     on such Securities and Coupons for principal and any premium, interest and
     Additional Amounts, respectively;

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

Section 5.7    Limitations on Suits.

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

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

     (2) the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities of such 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 such indemnity as is
reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses and
liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request;

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

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

it being understood and intended that no one or more of such Holders shall have
any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision
of this Indenture or any Security to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of
any other such Holders or Holders of Securities of any other series, or to
obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other 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 and any
               Premium, Interest and Additional Amounts.

     Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any
Security or Coupon shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to
receive payment of the principal of, any premium and (subject to Section 3.5 and
Section 3.7) interest on, and any Additional Amounts with respect to such
Security or payment of such Coupon, as the case may be, on the respective Stated
Maturity or Maturities therefor specified in such Security or Coupon (or, in the
case of redemption, on the Redemption Date or, in the case of repayment at the
option of such Holder if provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, on the date
such repayment is due) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such
payment, and such right shall not be impaired without the consent of such
Holder.

Section 5.9    Restoration of Rights and Remedies.

     If the Trustee or any Holder of a Security or a Coupon has instituted any
proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such
proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been
determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such
case the Company, the Trustee and each such Holder 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 and each such Holder shall continue as though no such proceeding had
been instituted.

Section 5.10   Rights and Remedies Cumulative.

     Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities or Coupons in the last paragraph
of Section 3.6, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the
Trustee or to each and every Holder of a Security or a Coupon is intended to be
exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy, to the
extent permitted by law, shall 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, to the extent permitted by law, prevent the
concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

Section 5.11   Delay or Omission Not Waiver.

     No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Security or
Coupon to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall
impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of
Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article
or by law to the Trustee or to any Holder of a Security or a Coupon may be
exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the
Trustee or by such Holder, as the case may be.

Section 5.12   Control by Holders of Securities.

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

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

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

     (3) such direction is not unduly prejudicial to the rights of the other
Holders of Securities of such series not joining in such action.

Section 5.13   Waiver of Past Defaults.

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

     (1) in the payment of the principal of, any premium or interest on, or any
Additional Amounts with respect to, any Security of such series or any Coupons
appertaining thereto, or

     (2) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article 9
cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each
Outstanding Security of such series affected.

Upon any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist, and any 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   Waiver of Usury, Stay or Extension Laws.

     The Company covenants that (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) 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 Company expressly waives (to the
extent that it may lawfully do so) 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.

Section 5.15   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 any
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 5.15 shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to
any suit instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the aggregate
more than 10% in principal amount of 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, if any, on or Additional Amounts,
if any, with respect to any Security on or after the respective Stated
Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on or
after the Redemption Date, and, in the case of repayment, on or after the date
for repayment).

Section 6.6    Compensation and Reimbursement.

     The Company agrees:

     (1) to pay to the Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation for all

upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances
incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any provision of this
Indenture or arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or
administration of the trust or trusts hereunder (including the reasonable

except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may be attributable to the
Trustee's negligence or bad faith; and

     (3) to indemnify the Trustee and its agents, officers, directors and
employees for, and to hold them harmless against, any loss, liability or expense

except funds held in trust for the payment of principal of, and premium or
interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect to Securities or any Coupons
appertaining thereto.

     To the extent permitted by law, any compensation or expense incurred by the

constitute an expense of administration under any then applicable bankruptcy or
insolvency law. "Trustee" for purposes of this Section 6.6 shall include any
predecessor Trustee but the negligence or bad faith of any Trustee shall not
affect the rights of any other Trustee under this Section 6.6.

     The provisions of this Section 6.6 shall survive the satisfaction and
discharge of this Indenture or the earlier resignation or removal of the Trustee

Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent or Security Registrar.

successor Trustee pursuant to this Article shall become effective until the
acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee pursuant to Section 6.9.

     (2) The Trustee may resign at any time with respect to the Securities of
one or more series by giving written notice thereof to the Company. If the
instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee required by Section 6.9 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 such
series.

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

     (4) If at any time:

          (a)  the Trustee shall fail to comply with the obligations imposed
               upon it under Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act with
               respect to Securities of any series after written request
               therefor by the Company or any Holder of a Security of such
               series who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of such
               series for at least six months, or

          (b)  the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 6.7 and

               for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation,

then, in any such case, (i) the Company, by or pursuant to a Board Resolution
may remove the Trustee with respect to all Securities or the Securities of such
series, or (ii) subject to Section 315(e) of the Trust Indenture Act, any Holder
of a Security who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of such series for
at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated,
petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee with
respect to all Securities of such series and the appointment of a successor
Trustee or Trustees.

     (5) If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting,
or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause, with respect
to the Securities of one or more series, the Company, by or pursuant to a Board
Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees with respect
to the Securities of such series (it being understood that any such successor
Trustee may be appointed with respect to the Securities of one or more or all of
such series and that at any time there shall be only one Trustee with respect to
the Securities of any particular series) and shall comply with the applicable
requirements of Section 6.9. If, within one year after such resignation, removal

delivered to the Company and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so
appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment in accordance
with the applicable requirements of Section 6.9, become the successor Trustee
with respect to the Securities of such series and to that extent supersede the
successor Trustee appointed by the Company. If no successor Trustee with respect
to the Securities of any series shall have been so appointed by the Company or
the Holders of Securities and accepted appointment in the manner required by
Section 6.9, any Holder of a Security who has been a bona fide Holder of a
Security of such series for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and
all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for
the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such
series.

     (6) The Company shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of
the Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series and each appointment of
a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series by mailing
written notice of such event by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to the
Holders of Registered Securities, if any, of such series as their names and
addresses appear in the Security Register and, if Securities of such series are
issued as Bearer Securities, by publishing notice of such event once in an
Authorized Newspaper in each Place of Payment located outside the United States.
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.

     (7) In no event shall any retiring Trustee be liable for the acts or
omissions of any successor Trustee hereunder.

Section 6.9    Acceptance of Appointment by Successor.

     (1) Upon the appointment hereunder of any successor Trustee with respect to
all Securities, such successor Trustee so appointed shall execute, acknowledge
and deliver to the Company and 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 hereunder of the retiring Trustee; but, on the request of the Company or
such successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee, upon payment of its charges,
shall execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee
all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee and, subject to
Section 10.3, shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee
all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder, subject
nevertheless to its claim, if any, provided for in Section 6.6.

     (2) Upon the appointment hereunder of any successor Trustee with respect to
the Securities of one or more (but not all) series, the Company, the retiring
Trustee and such successor Trustee 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, such 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, 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 that no Trustee shall be responsible
for any notice given to, or received by, or any act or failure to act on the
part of any other Trustee hereunder, 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, such retiring Trustee
shall have no further responsibility for the exercise of rights and powers or
for the performance of the duties and obligations vested in the Trustee under
this Indenture with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which
the appointment of such successor Trustee relates other than as hereinafter
expressly set forth, 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 with respect to the Securities of that or those
series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates; but, on
request of the Company or such successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee, upon
payment of its charges with respect to the Securities of that or those series to
which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates and subject to Section
10.3 shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee, to the
extent contemplated by such supplemental indenture, the 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, subject
to its claim, if any, provided for in Section 6.6.

     (3) Upon request of any Person appointed hereunder as a successor Trustee,
the Company shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly
vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and
trusts referred to in paragraph (1) or (2) of this Section, as the case may be.

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

Section 6.10   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,
without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of
any of the parties hereto. In case any Securities shall have been authenticated
but not delivered by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger,
conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such
authentication and deliver the Securities so authenticated with the same effect
as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Securities.

Section 6.11   Appointment of Authenticating Agent.

     The Trustee may appoint one or more Authenticating Agents acceptable to the
Company with respect to one or more series of Securities which shall be
authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Securities of that or
those series issued upon original issue, exchange, registration of transfer,
partial redemption or partial repayment 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
and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an
Authenticating Agent.

     Each Authenticating Agent must be acceptable to the Company and, except as
provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, shall at all times be a corporation
that would be permitted by the Trust Indenture Act to act as trustee under an
indenture qualified under the Trust Indenture Act, is authorized under
applicable law and by its charter to act as an Authenticating Agent and has a
combined capital and surplus (computed in accordance with Section 310(a)(2) of
the Trust Indenture Act) of at least $50,000,000. If at any time an
Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of this Section, it 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 agency or corporate trust business of an Authenticating Agent,
shall be the successor of such 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 the Company. The Trustee may at any time terminate
the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice thereof to such
Authenticating Agent and the Company. Upon receiving such a notice of
resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time such
Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of this Section, the Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating
Agent which shall be acceptable to the Company and shall (i) mail written notice
of such appointment by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to all Holders of
Registered Securities, if any, of the series with respect to which such
Authenticating Agent shall serve, as their names and addresses appear in the
Security Register, and (ii) if Securities of the series are issued as Bearer
Securities, publish notice of such appointment at least once in an Authorized
Newspaper in the place where such successor Authenticating Agent has its
principal office if such office is located outside the United States. Any
successor Authenticating Agent, upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder,
shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor
hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent.
No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the
provisions of this Section.

     The Company agrees to pay each Authenticating Agent from time to time
reasonable compensation for its services under this Section. If the Trustee
makes such payments, it shall be entitled to be reimbursed for such payments,
subject to the provisions of Section 6.6.

     The provisions of Section 3.8, 6.3 and 6.4 shall be applicable to each
Authenticating Agent.

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

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

                                    LASALLE BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION,
                                                as Trustee
                                    By: __________________________________
                                          as Authenticating Agent

                                    By: __________________________________
                                          Authorized Signatory

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

not permit any other Person (whether or not affiliated with the Company) to
consolidate with or merge into the Company or convey, transfer or lease its
properties and assets as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to the
Company, unless:

     (1) in case the Company shall consolidate with or merge into another Person
or convey, transfer or lease its properties and assets as an entirety or
substantially as an entirety to any Person, the Person formed by such
consolidation or into which the Company is merged or the Person which acquires
by conveyance or transfer, or which leases, the properties and assets of the
Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety shall be a Corporation
organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, any state
thereof or the District of Columbia and shall expressly assume, by an indenture
(or indentures, if at such time there is more than one Trustee) supplemental
hereto, executed by the successor Person and delivered to the Trustee, the due
and punctual payment of the principal of, any premium and interest on and any
Additional Amounts with respect to all the Securities and the performance of
every obligation in this Indenture and the Outstanding Securities on the part of
the Company to be performed or observed;

     (2) immediately after giving effect to such transaction and treating any
indebtedness which becomes an obligation of the Company or a Subsidiary as a
result of such transaction as having been incurred by the Company or such
Subsidiary at the time of such transaction, no Event of Default or event which,
after notice or lapse of time, or both, would become an Event of Default, shall
have occurred and be continuing; and

     (3) either the Company or the successor Person shall have delivered to the
Trustee an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that
such consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer or lease and, if a supplemental
indenture is required in connection with such transaction, such supplemental
indenture comply with this Article and that all conditions precedent herein
provided for relating to such transaction have been complied with.

Section 8.2    Successor Person Substituted for Company.

     Upon any consolidation by the Company with or merger of the Company into
any other Person or any conveyance, transfer or lease of the properties and
assets of the Company substantially as an entirety to any Person in accordance
with Section 8.1, the successor Person formed by such consolidation or into
which the Company 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 Company under this Indenture with the same effect as if such
successor Person had been named as the Company herein; and thereafter, except in
the case of a lease, the predecessor Person shall be released from all
obligations and covenants under this Indenture, the Securities and the Coupons.

     (11) to amend or supplement any provision contained herein or in any

Section 9.2    Supplemental Indentures with Consent of Holders.

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

     (1) change the Stated Maturity of the principal of, or any premium or
installment of interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect to, any
Security, or reduce the principal amount thereof or the rate (or modify the
calculation of such rate) of interest thereon or any Additional Amounts with
respect thereto, or any premium payable upon the redemption thereof or
otherwise, or change the obligation of the Company to pay Additional Amounts
pursuant to Section 10.4 (except as contemplated by Section 8.1(1) and permitted
by Section 9.1(1)), or reduce the amount of the principal of an Original Issue

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

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

Section 9.3    Execution of Supplemental Indentures.

     As a condition to executing, or accepting the additional trusts created by,
any supplemental indenture permitted by this Article or the modifications
thereby of the trust created by this Indenture, the Trustee shall be provided,

in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such
supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and an
Officers' Certificate stating that all conditions precedent to the execution of
such supplemental indenture have been fulfilled. The Trustee may, but shall not
be obligated to, enter into any such supplemental indenture which affects the
Trustee's own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

Section 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

and of any Coupon appertaining thereto shall be bound thereby.

Section 9.5    Reference in Securities to Supplemental Indentures.

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

Section 9.6    Conformity with Trust Indenture Act.

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

Section 9.7    Notice of Supplemental Indenture.

     Promptly after the execution by the Company and the Trustee of any

                                   Article 10
                                    COVENANTS

Section 10.1   Payment of Principal, any Premium, Interest
               and Additional Amounts.

     The Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of the Holders of the
Securities of each series that it will duly and punctually pay the principal of,
any premium and interest on and any Additional Amounts with respect to the
Securities of such series in accordance with the terms thereof, any supplement
hereto any Coupons appertaining thereto and this Indenture. Any interest due on
any Bearer Security on or before the Maturity thereof, and any Additional
Amounts payable with respect to such interest, shall be payable only upon
presentation and surrender of the Coupons appertaining thereto for such interest
as they severally mature.

Section 10.2   Maintenance of Office or Agency.

     The Company shall maintain in each Place of Payment for any series of
Securities an Office or Agency where Securities of such series (but not Bearer
Securities, except as otherwise provided below, unless such Place of Payment is
located outside the United States) may be presented or surrendered for payment,
where Securities of such series may be surrendered for registration of transfer
or exchange, and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of
the Securities of such series relating thereto and this Indenture may be served.
If Securities of a series are issuable as Bearer Securities, the Company shall
maintain, subject to any laws or regulations applicable thereto, an Office or
Agency in a Place of Payment for such series which is located outside the United
States where Securities of such series and any Coupons appertaining thereto may
be presented and surrendered for payment; provided, however, that if the
Securities of such series are listed on The Stock Exchange of the United Kingdom
and the Republic of Ireland or the Luxembourg Stock Exchange or any other stock
exchange located outside the United States and such stock exchange shall so
require, a Company shall maintain a Paying Agent in London, Luxembourg or any
other required city located outside the United States, as the case may be, so
long as the Securities of such series are listed on such exchange. The Company
will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change
in the location, of such Office or Agency. If at any time the Company shall fail
to maintain any such required Office or Agency or shall fail to furnish the
Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and
demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee,
except that Bearer Securities of such series and any Coupons appertaining
thereto may be presented and surrendered for payment at the place specified for
the purpose with respect to such Securities as provided in or pursuant to this
Indenture, and the Company appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive all such
presentations, surrenders, notices and demands.

     Except as otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, no payment
of principal, premium, interest or Additional Amounts with respect to Bearer
Securities shall be made at any Office or Agency in the United States or by
check mailed to any address in the United States or by transfer to an account
maintained with a bank located in the United States; provided, however, if
amounts owing with respect to any Bearer Securities shall be payable in Dollars,
payment of principal of, any premium or interest on and any Additional Amounts
with respect to any such Security may be made at the Corporate Trust Office of
the Trustee or any Office or Agency designated by the Company in the Borough of
Manhattan, The City of New York, if (but only if) payment of the full amount of
such principal, premium, interest or Additional Amounts at all offices outside
the United States maintained for such purpose by the Company in accordance with
this Indenture is illegal or effectively precluded by exchange controls or other
similar restrictions.

     The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other Offices
or Agencies where the Securities of one or more series may be presented or
surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such
designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in
any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an Office or Agency
in each Place of Payment for Securities of any series for such purposes. The
Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation
or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other Office or
Agency. Unless otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, the Company
hereby designates as the Place of Payment for each series of Securities the
Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, and initially appoints the corporate
trust office of the Trustee located at _________________________, the Office or
Agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York for such
purpose. The Company may subsequently appoint a different Office or Agency in
the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York or any other Place of Payment for
the Securities of any series.

Section 10.3   Money for Securities Payments to Be Held in Trust.

     If the Company shall at any time act as its own Paying Agent with respect
to any series of Securities, it shall, on or before each due date of the
principal of, any premium or interest on or Additional Amounts with respect to
any of the Securities of such series, segregate and hold in trust for the
benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a sum in the currency or currencies,
currency unit or units or composite currency or currencies in which the
Securities of such series are payable (except as otherwise specified pursuant to
Section 3.1 for the Securities of such series) sufficient to pay the principal
or any premium, interest or Additional Amounts so becoming due until such sums
shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided, and
shall promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act.

     Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents for any series of
Securities, it shall, on or prior to each due date of the principal of, any
premium or interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect to any Securities
of such series, deposit with any Paying Agent a sum (in the currency or
currencies, currency unit or units or composite currency or currencies described
in the preceding paragraph) sufficient to pay the principal or any premium,
interest or Additional Amounts so becoming due, such sum to be held in trust for
the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto, and (unless such Paying Agent is
the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or
failure so to act.

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

     (1) hold all sums held by it for the payment of the principal of, any
premium or interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect to Securities of
such 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 provided in or
pursuant to this Indenture;

     (2) give the Trustee notice of any default by the Company (or any other
obligor upon the Securities of such series) in the making of any payment of
principal, any premium or interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect to
the Securities of such series; and

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

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

     Except as otherwise provided herein or pursuant hereto, any money deposited
with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for
the payment of the principal of, any premium or interest on or any Additional
Amounts with respect to any Security of any series or any Coupon appertaining
thereto and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal or any such
premium or interest or any such Additional Amounts shall have become due and
payable shall be paid to the Company on Company Request, or (if then held by the
Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Security or
any Coupon appertaining thereto shall thereafter, as an unsecured general
creditor, look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the
Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability
of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, however,
that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such
repayment, may at the expense of the Company in the case of Bearer Securities
cause to be published once, in an Authorized Newspaper in each Place of Payment
for such series or in the case of Registered Securities to be mailed to Holders
of such Registered Securities of such series, 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 or mailing nor shall it be later than
two years after such principal and any premium or interest or Additional Amounts
shall have become due and payable, any unclaimed balance of such money then
remaining will be repaid to the Company.

Section 10.4   Additional Amounts.

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

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

Section 10.5   Limitation on Liens; Restriction on Sale-Leasebacks.

     (1) The Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of each series of
Securities, other than any series established in or pursuant to a Board
Resolution or in one or more indentures supplemental hereto which specifically
provide otherwise, that for so long as the Securities of any applicable series
are outstanding, the Company will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to,
create, assume, incur or suffer to exist any Lien upon any Principal Property or
upon any shares of Capital Stock or Debt of any Subsidiary owning or leasing any
Principal Property, whether owned or leased on the date of this Indenture or
thereafter acquired, other than Permitted Liens or as permitted under Section
10.5(3), to secure any Debt incurred or guaranteed by the Company or any
Subsidiary (other than the applicable series of Securities), without in any such
case making effective provision whereby all of the Securities of the applicable
series then outstanding (together with, if the Company so determines, any other
Debt or guarantee thereof by the Company ranking equally with the applicable
series of Securities) shall be secured equally and ratably with, or prior to,
such Debt so long as such Debt shall be so secured.

     "Permitted Liens" means

     (a)  Liens for taxes, assessments or governmental charges or levies on
          property if the same shall not at the time be delinquent or thereafter
          can be paid without penalty, or are being contested in good faith and
          by appropriate proceedings and for which adequate reserves shall have
          been established in accordance with GAAP;

     (b)  Liens imposed by law, such as landlord's, carriers', warehousemen's
          and mechanics' Liens and other similar Liens arising in the ordinary
          course of business that secure payment of obligations not more than 60
          days past due or that are being contested in good faith by appropriate
          proceedings and for which adequate reserves have been in accordance
          with GAAP;

     (c)  Liens arising out of pledges or deposits under worker's compensation
          laws, unemployment insurance, old age pensions, or other social
          security or retirement benefits, or similar legislation (other than
          Liens in favor of the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation); or good
          faith deposits in connection with bids, tenders, contracts (other than
          for the payment of Debt) or leases or subleases to which such Person
          is a party, or deposits to secure public or statutory obligations of
          such Person or deposits of cash or United States government bonds to
          secure surety or appeal bonds to which such Person is a party, or
          deposits as security for contested taxes or import duties or for the
          payment of rent, in each case incurred in the ordinary course of
          business;

     (d)  utility easements, building restrictions and such other encumbrances
          or charges against real property as are of a nature generally existing
          with respect to properties of a similar character and that do not in
          any material way affect the marketability of the same or interfere
          with the use thereof in the business of the Company or its
          Subsidiaries;

     (e)  Liens existing on the date of the original issuance of the applicable
          series of Securities, provided that no increase in the principal
          amount secured thereby is permitted; and

     (f)  any extension, renewal or replacement (or successive extensions,
          renewals or replacements) in whole or in part of any Lien referred to
          in the foregoing clauses, provided, however, that the principal amount
          of Debt so secured thereby shall not exceed the principal amount of
          Debt so secured prior to such extension, renewal or replacement and
          that such extension, renewal or replacement Lien shall be limited to
          all or a part of the assets that secured the Lien so extended, renewed
          or replaced (plus improvements and construction on such real
          property).

     (2) The Company will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, engage in
the sale or transfer by the Company or any Subsidiary of any Principal Property
to a person (other than the Company or a Subsidiary) and the taking back by the
Company or any Subsidiary, as the case may be, of a lease of such Principal
Property, unless:

     (a)  the Company or such Subsidiary could incur Debt secured by a Lien
          pursuant to subsection (1) above on the Principal Property to be
          leased, in an amount equal to the Attributable Debt with respect to
          such sale-leaseback transaction, without equally and ratably securing
          the Securities of the applicable series;

     (b)  such sale-leaseback transaction involves a lease for a period,
          including renewals, of not more than three years; or

     (c)  the Company or such Subsidiary, within a one-year period after such
          sale-leaseback transaction, applies or causes to be applied an amount
          not less than the net proceeds from such sale-leaseback transaction to
          the prepayment, repayment, redemption, reduction or retirement (other
          than pursuant to any mandatory sinking fund, redemption or prepayment
          provision) of Funded Debt.

     (3) Notwithstanding the foregoing restrictions on Liens and sale-leaseback
transactions, the Company may, and may permit any Subsidiary to, create, assume,
incur, or suffer to exist any Lien other than a Permitted Lien upon any
Principal Property or upon any shares of Capital Stock or Debt of any Subsidiary
owning or leasing any Principal Property to secure Debt incurred or guaranteed
by the Company or any Subsidiary (other than the applicable series of
Securities) or effect any sale-leaseback transaction of a Principal Property
that is not excepted by Section 10.5(2)(a) through Section 10.5(2)(c),
inclusive, without equally and ratably securing the Securities of the applicable
series provided that, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal
amount of outstanding Debt (other than the applicable series of Securities)
secured by Liens, other than Permitted Liens upon Principal Property, plus the
Attributable Debt from sale-leaseback transactions of Principal Property, not so
excepted, do not exceed 15% of Consolidated Tangible Net Worth.

Section 10.6   Legal Existence.

     Subject to Article 8, the Company shall do or cause to be done all things
necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its legal existence and
that of each Subsidiary and their respective rights (charter and statutory) and
franchises; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not obligate the Company
or any Subsidiary to preserve any such right or franchise if the Company shall
determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of
its business or the business of the Company or such Subsidiary and that the loss
thereof is not disadvantageous in any material respect to any Holder.

Section 10.7   Waiver of Certain Covenants.

     The Company may omit in any particular instance to comply with any term,
provision or condition set forth in Section 10.5 with respect to the Securities
of any series if before the time for such compliance the Holders of at least a
majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series, by
Act of such Holders, either shall waive such compliance in such instance or
generally shall have waived compliance with such term, provision or condition,
but no such waiver shall extend to or affect such term, provision or condition
except to the extent so expressly waived, and, until such waiver shall become
effective, the obligations of the Company and the duties of the Trustee in
respect of any such term, provision or condition shall remain in full force and
effect.

Section 10.8   Company Statement as to Compliance; Notice of Certain Defaults.

     (1) The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end
of each fiscal year, a written statement (which need not be contained in or
accompanied by an Officers' Certificate) signed by the principal executive
officer, the principal financial officer or the principal accounting officer of
the Company, stating that

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

     (b)  to the best of his or her knowledge, based on such review, (a) the
          Company has complied with all the conditions and covenants imposed on
          it under this Indenture throughout such year, or, if there has been a
          default in the fulfillment of any such condition or covenant,
          specifying each such default known to him or her and the nature and
          status thereof, and (b) no event has occurred and is continuing which
          is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of
          Default, or, if such an event has occurred and is continuing,
          specifying each such event known to him and the nature and status
          thereof.

     (2) The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within five days after the
occurrence thereof, written notice of any Event of Default or any event which
after notice or lapse of time or both would become an Event of Default pursuant
to clause (4) of Section 5.1.

     (3) The Trustee shall have no duty to monitor the Company's compliance with
the covenants contained in this Article 10 other than as specifically set forth
in this Section 10.8.

                                   Article 11
                            REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES

Section 11.1   Applicability of Article.

     Redemption of Securities of any series at the option of the Company as
permitted or required by the terms of such Securities shall be made in
accordance with the terms of such Securities and (except as otherwise provided
herein or pursuant hereto) this Article.

Section 11.2   Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee.

     The election of the Company to redeem any Securities shall be evidenced by
or pursuant to a Board Resolution. In case of any redemption at the election of
the Company of (a) less than all of the Securities of any series or (b) all of
the Securities of any series, with the same issue date, interest rate or
formula, Stated Maturity and other terms, the Company shall, at least 60 days
prior to the Redemption Date fixed by the Company (unless a shorter notice shall
be satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the Trustee of such Redemption Date and
of the principal amount of Securities of such series to be redeemed.

Section 11.3   Selection by Trustee of Securities to be Redeemed.

     If less than all of the Securities of any series with the same issue date,
interest rate or formula, Stated Maturity and other terms are to be redeemed,
the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 60 days
prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee from the Outstanding Securities of
such series not previously called for redemption, by such method as the Trustee
shall deem fair and appropriate and which may provide for the selection for
redemption of portions of the principal amount of Registered Securities of such
series; provided, however, that no such partial redemption shall reduce the
portion of the principal amount of a Registered Security of such series not
redeemed to less than the minimum denomination for a Security of such series
established herein or pursuant hereto.

     The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company and the Security Registrar
(if other than itself) in writing of the Securities selected for redemption and,
in the case of any Securities selected for partial redemption, the principal
amount thereof to be redeemed.

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

Section 11.4   Notice of Redemption.

     Notice of redemption shall be given in the manner provided in Section 1.6,
not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, unless a
shorter period is specified in the Securities to be redeemed, to the Holders of
Securities to be redeemed. Failure to give notice by mailing in the manner
herein provided to the Holder of any Registered Securities designated for
redemption as a whole or in part, or any defect in the notice to any such
Holder, shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of
any other Securities or portion thereof.

     Any notice that is mailed to the Holder of any Registered Securities in the
manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given,
whether or not such Holder receives the notice.

     All notices of redemption shall state:

     (1) the Redemption Date,

     (2) the Redemption Price,

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

     (4) in case any Security is to be redeemed in part only, the notice which
relates to such Security shall state that on and after the Redemption Date, upon
surrender of such Security, the Holder of such Security will receive, without
charge, a new Security or Securities of authorized denominations for the
principal amount thereof remaining unredeemed,

     (5) that, on the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price shall become due and
payable upon each such Security or portion thereof to be redeemed, and, if
applicable, that interest thereon shall cease to accrue on and after said date,

     (6) the place or places where such Securities, together (in the case of
Bearer Securities) with all Coupons appertaining thereto, if any, maturing after
the Redemption Date, are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price
and any accrued interest and Additional Amounts pertaining thereto,

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

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

     (9) if Bearer Securities of any series are to be redeemed and no Registered
Securities of such series are to be redeemed, and if such Bearer Securities may
be exchanged for Registered Securities not subject to redemption on the
Redemption Date pursuant to Section 3.5 or otherwise, the last date, as
determined by the Company, on which such exchanges may be made, and

     (10) the CUSIP number or the Euroclear or Clearstream reference numbers of
such Securities, if any (or any other numbers used by a Depository to identify
such Securities).

     A notice of redemption published as contemplated by Section 1.6 need not
identify particular Registered Securities to be redeemed.

     Notice of redemption of Securities to be redeemed at the election of the
Company shall be given by the Company or, at the Company's request, by the
Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company.

Section 11.5   Deposit of Redemption Price.

     On or prior to any Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit, with respect
to the Securities of any series called for redemption pursuant to Section 11.4,
with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own
Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 10.3) an amount
of money in the applicable Currency sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of,
and (except if the Redemption Date shall be an Interest Payment Date, unless
otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.1 or in the Securities of such series)
any accrued interest on and Additional Amounts with respect thereto, all such
Securities or portions thereof which are to be redeemed on that date.

Section 11.6   Securities Payable on Redemption Date.

     Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Securities so to
be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the
Redemption Price therein specified, and from and after such date (unless the
Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued
interest) such Securities shall cease to bear interest and the Coupons for such
interest appertaining to any Bearer Securities so to be redeemed, except to the
extent provided below, shall be void. Upon surrender of any such Security for
redemption in accordance with said notice, together with all Coupons, if any,
appertaining thereto maturing after the Redemption Date, such Security shall be
paid by the Company at the Redemption Price, together with any accrued interest
and Additional Amounts to the Redemption Date; provided, however, that, except
as otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture or the Bearer Securities
of such series, installments of interest on Bearer Securities whose Stated
Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable only upon
presentation and surrender of Coupons for such interest (at an Office or Agency
located outside the United States except as otherwise provided in Section 10.2),
and provided, further, that, except as otherwise specified in or pursuant to
this Indenture or the Registered Securities of such series, installments of
interest on Registered Securities whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the
Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or
more Predecessor Securities, registered as such at the close of business on the
Regular Record Dates therefor according to their terms and the provisions of
Section 3.7.

     If any Bearer Security surrendered for redemption shall not be accompanied
by all appurtenant Coupons maturing after the Redemption Date, such Security may
be paid after deducting from the Redemption Price an amount equal to the face
amount of all such missing Coupons, or the surrender of such missing Coupon or
Coupons may be waived by the Company and the Trustee if there be furnished to
them such security or indemnity as they may require to save each of them and any
Paying Agent harmless. If thereafter the Holder of such Security shall surrender
to the Trustee or any Paying Agent any such missing Coupon in respect of which a
deduction shall have been made from the Redemption Price, such Holder shall be
entitled to receive the amount so deducted; provided, however, that any interest
or Additional Amounts represented by Coupons shall be payable only upon
presentation and surrender of those Coupons at an Office or Agency for such
Security located outside of the United States except as otherwise provided in
Section 10.2.

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

Section 11.7   Securities Redeemed in Part.

     Any Registered Security which is to be redeemed only in part shall be
surrendered at any Office or Agency for such Security (with, if the Company or
the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer
in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder
thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing) and the Company shall
execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such
Security without service charge, a new Registered Security or Securities of the
same series, containing identical terms and provisions, of any authorized
denomination as requested by such Holder in aggregate principal amount equal to
and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Security so
surrendered. If a Security in global form is so surrendered, the Company shall
execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the U.S. Depository
or other Depository for such Security in global form as shall be specified in
the Company Order with respect thereto to the Trustee, without service charge, a
new Security in global form in a denomination equal to and in exchange for the
unredeemed portion of the principal of the Security in global form so
surrendered.

                                   Article 12
                                  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 a series, except as otherwise permitted or
required in or pursuant to this Indenture or any Security of such series issued
pursuant to this Indenture.

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

Section 12.2   Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments with Securities.

     The Company may, in satisfaction of all or any part of any sinking fund
payment with respect to the Securities of any series to be made pursuant to the
terms of such Securities (1) deliver Outstanding Securities of such series
(other than any of such Securities previously called for redemption or any of
such Securities in respect of which cash shall have been released to the
Company), together in the case of any Bearer Securities of such series with all
unmatured Coupons appertaining thereto, and (2) apply as a credit Securities of
such series which have been redeemed either at the election of the Company
pursuant to the terms of such series of Securities or through the application of
permitted optional sinking fund payments pursuant to the terms of such
Securities, provided that such series of Securities have not been previously so
credited. Such Securities shall be received and credited for such purpose by the
Trustee at the Redemption Price specified in such Securities for redemption
through operation of the sinking fund and the amount of such sinking fund
payment shall be reduced accordingly. If, as a result of the delivery or credit
of Securities of any series in lieu of cash payments pursuant to this Section
12.2, the principal amount of Securities of such series to be redeemed in order
to satisfy the remaining sinking fund payment shall be less than $100,000, the
Trustee need not call Securities of such series for redemption, except upon
Company Request, and such cash payment shall be held by the Trustee or a Paying
Agent and applied to the next succeeding sinking fund payment, provided,
however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent shall at the request of the
Company from time to time pay over and deliver to the Company any cash payment
so being held by the Trustee or such Paying Agent upon delivery by the Company
to the Trustee of Securities of that series purchased by the Company having an
unpaid principal amount equal to the cash payment requested to be released to
the Company.

Section 12.3   Redemption of Securities for Sinking Fund.

     Not less than 75 days prior to each sinking fund payment date for any
series of Securities, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers'
Certificate specifying the amount of the next ensuing mandatory sinking fund
payment for that series pursuant to the terms of that series, the portion
thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by payment of cash and the portion
thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting of
Securities of that series pursuant to Section 12.2, and the optional amount, if
any, to be added in cash to the next ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment, and
will also deliver to the Trustee any Securities to be so credited and not
theretofore delivered. If such Officers' Certificate shall specify an optional
amount to be added in cash to the next ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment,
the Company shall thereupon be obligated to pay the amount therein specified.
Not less than 60 days before each such sinking fund payment date the Trustee
shall select the Securities to be redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date
in the manner specified in Section 11.3 and cause notice of the redemption
thereof to be given in the name of and at the expense of the Company in the
manner provided in Section 11.4. 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 and Section 11.7.

                                   Article 13
                       REPAYMENT AT THE OPTION OF HOLDERS

Section 13.1   Applicability of Article.

     Securities of any series which are repayable at the option of the Holders
thereof before their Stated Maturity shall be repaid in accordance with the
terms of the Securities of such series. The repayment of any principal amount of
Securities pursuant to such option of the Holder to require repayment of
Securities before their Stated Maturity, for purposes of Section 3.9, shall not
operate as a payment, redemption or satisfaction of the Debt represented by such
Securities unless and until the Company, at its option, shall deliver or
surrender the same to the Trustee with a directive that such Securities be
cancelled. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section
13.1, in connection with any repayment of Securities, the Company may arrange
for the purchase of any Securities by an agreement with one or more investment
bankers or other purchasers to purchase such Securities by paying to the Holders
of such Securities on or before the close of business on the repayment date an
amount not less than the repayment price payable by the Company on repayment of
such Securities, and the obligation of the Company to pay the repayment price of
such Securities shall be satisfied and discharged to the extent such payment is
so paid by such purchasers.

                                   Article 14
                        SECURITIES IN FOREIGN CURRENCIES

Section 14.1   Applicability of Article.

     Whenever this Indenture provides for (i) any action by, or the
determination of any of the rights of, Holders of Securities of any series in
which not all of such Securities are denominated in the same Currency, or (ii)
any distribution to Holders of Securities, in the absence of any provision to
the contrary in the form of Security of any particular series or pursuant to
this Indenture or the Securities, any amount in respect of any Security
denominated in a Currency other than Dollars shall be treated for any such
action or distribution as that amount of Dollars that could be obtained for such
amount on such reasonable basis of exchange and as of the record date with
respect to Registered Securities of such series (if any) for such action,
determination of rights or distribution (or, if there shall be no applicable
record date, such other date reasonably proximate to the date of such action,
determination of rights or distribution) as the Company may specify in a written
notice to the Trustee.

                                   Article 15
                        MEETINGS OF HOLDERS OF SECURITIES

Section 15.1   Purposes for Which Meetings May Be Called.

     A meeting of Holders of Securities of any series may be called at any time

of such series.

     (1) The Trustee may at any time call a meeting of Holders of Securities of
any series for any purpose specified in Section 15.1, to be held at such time
and at such place in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, or, if
Securities of such series have been issued in whole or in part as Bearer
Securities, in London or in such place outside the United States as the Trustee
shall determine. Notice of every meeting of Holders of Securities of any series,
setting forth the time and the place of such meeting and in general terms the
action proposed to be taken at such meeting, shall be given, in the manner
provided in Section 1.6, not less than 21 nor more than 180 days prior to the
date fixed for the meeting.

     (2) In case at any time the Company (by or pursuant to a Board Resolution),
or the Holders of at least 10% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities
of any series shall have requested the Trustee to call a meeting of the Holders
of Securities of such series for any purpose specified in Section 15.1, by
written request setting forth in reasonable detail the action proposed to be
taken at the meeting, and the Trustee shall not have mailed notice of or made
the first publication of the notice of such meeting within 21 days after receipt
of such request (whichever shall be required pursuant to Section 1.6) or shall
not thereafter proceed to cause the meeting to be held as provided herein, then
the Company or the Holders of Securities of such series in the amount above
specified, as the case may be, may determine the time and the place in the
Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, or, if Securities of such series are
to be issued as Bearer Securities, in London for such meeting and may call such
meeting for such purposes by giving notice thereof as provided in clause (1) of
this Section.

Section 15.3   Persons Entitled to Vote at Meetings.

     To be entitled to vote at any meeting of Holders of Securities of any
series, a Person shall be (1) a Holder of one or more Outstanding Securities of
such series, or (2) a Person appointed by an instrument in writing as proxy for
a Holder or Holders of one or more Outstanding Securities of such series by such
Holder or Holders. The only Persons who shall be entitled to be present or to
speak at any meeting of Holders of Securities of any series shall be the Persons
entitled to vote at such meeting and their counsel, any representatives of the
Trustee and its counsel and any representatives of the Company and its counsel.

Section 15.4   Quorum; Action.

     The Persons entitled to vote a majority in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of a series shall constitute a quorum for any meeting of
Holders of Securities of such series. In the absence of a quorum within 30
minutes after the time appointed for any such meeting, the meeting shall, if
convened at the request of Holders of Securities of such series, be dissolved.
In any other case the meeting may be adjourned for a period of not less than 10
days as determined by the chairman of the meeting prior to the adjournment of
such meeting. In the absence of a quorum at any reconvened meeting, such
reconvened meeting may be further adjourned for a period of not less than 10
days as determined by the chairman of the meeting prior to the adjournment of
such reconvened meeting. Notice of the reconvening of any adjourned meeting
shall be given as provided in Section 15.2(1), except that such notice need be
given only once not less than five days prior to the date on which the meeting
is scheduled to be reconvened. Notice of the reconvening of an adjourned meeting
shall state expressly the percentage, as provided above, of the principal amount
of the Outstanding Securities of such series which shall constitute a quorum.

     Except as limited by the proviso to Section 9.2, any resolution presented
to a meeting or adjourned meeting duly reconvened at which a quorum is present
as aforesaid may be adopted only by the affirmative vote of the Holders of a
majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series;
provided, however, that, except as limited by the proviso to Section 9.2, any
resolution with respect to any request, demand, authorization, direction,
notice, consent, waiver or other Act which this Indenture expressly provides may
be made, given or taken by the Holders of a specified percentage, which is less
than a majority, in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of a series
may be adopted at a meeting or an adjourned meeting duly reconvened and at which
a quorum is present as aforesaid by the affirmative vote of the Holders of such
specified percentage in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such
series.

     Any resolution passed or decision taken at any meeting of Holders of
Securities of any series duly held in accordance with this Section shall be
binding on all the Holders of Securities of such series and the Coupons
appertaining thereto, whether or not such Holders were present or represented at
the meeting.

Section 15.5   Determination of Voting Rights; Conduct and
               Adjournment of Meetings.

     (1) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, the Trustee may
make such reasonable regulations as it may deem advisable for any meeting of
Holders of Securities of such series in regard to proof of the holding of
Securities of such series and of the appointment of proxies and in regard to the
appointment and duties of inspectors of votes, the submission and examination of
proxies, certificates and other evidence of the right to vote, and such other
matters concerning the conduct of the meeting as it shall deem appropriate.
Except as otherwise permitted or required by any such regulations, the holding
of Securities shall be proved in the manner specified in Section 1.4 and the
appointment of any proxy shall be proved in the manner specified in Section 1.4
or by having the signature of the person executing the proxy witnessed or
guaranteed by any trust company, bank or banker authorized by Section 1.4 to
certify to the holding of Bearer Securities. Such regulations may provide that
written instruments appointing proxies, regular on their face, may be presumed
valid and genuine without the proof specified in Section 1.4 or other proof.

     (2) The Trustee shall, by an instrument in writing, appoint a temporary
chairman of the meeting, unless the meeting shall have been called by the
Company or by Holders of Securities as provided in Section 15.2(2), in which
case the Company or the Holders of Securities of the series calling the meeting,
as the case may be, shall in like manner appoint a temporary chairman. A
permanent chairman and a permanent secretary of the meeting shall be elected by
vote of the Persons entitled to vote a majority in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of such series represented at the meeting.

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

     (4) Any meeting of Holders of Securities of any series duly called pursuant
to Section 15.2 at which a quorum is present may be adjourned from time to time
by Persons entitled to vote a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities of such series represented at the meeting; and the meeting may be
held as so adjourned without further notice.

Section 15.6   Counting Votes and Recording Action of Meetings.

     The vote upon any resolution submitted to any meeting of Holders of
Securities of any series shall be by written ballots on which shall be
subscribed the signatures of the Holders of Securities of such series or of
their representatives by proxy and the principal amounts and serial numbers of
the Outstanding Securities of such series held or represented by them. The
permanent chairman of the meeting shall appoint two inspectors of votes who
shall count all votes cast at the meeting for or against any resolution and who
shall make and file with the secretary of the meeting their verified written
reports in triplicate of all votes cast at the meeting. A record, at least in
triplicate, of the proceedings of each meeting of Holders of Securities of any
series shall be prepared by the secretary of the meeting and there shall be
attached to said record the original reports of the inspectors of votes on any
vote by ballot taken thereat and affidavits by one or more persons having
knowledge of the facts setting forth a copy of the notice of the meeting and
showing that said notice was given as provided in Section 15.2 and, if
applicable, Section 15.4. Each copy shall be signed and verified by the
affidavits of the permanent chairman and secretary of the meeting and one such
copy shall be delivered to the Company and another to the Trustee to be
preserved by the Trustee, the latter to have attached thereto the ballots voted
at the meeting. Any record so signed and verified shall be conclusive evidence
of the matters therein stated.
