more than 60 days' notice mailed to each Holder of Debt Securities to be        
redeemed at his address as it appears in the Securities Register, on any date   
prior to their Stated Maturity at a Redemption Price equal to the greater of    
(i) 100% of the principal amount of such Debt Securities to be redeemed or (ii) 
as determined by a Quotation Agent (as defined below), the sum of the present   
values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon    
(not including any portion of such payments of interest accrued as of the       
Redemption Date) discounted to the Redemption Date on a semiannual basis        
(assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Adjusted    
Treasury Rate (as defined below), plus ..... basis points, plus accrued         
interest thereon to the Redemption Date; provided that unless the Company

      "Adjusted Treasury Rate" means, with respect to any Redemption Date,
the rate per annum equal to the semiannual equivalent yield to maturity of the  
Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue   
(expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable     
Treasury Price for such Redemption Date. The semi-annual equivalent yield to    
maturity will be computed as of the third business day immediately preceding

financial practice in pricing new issues of corporate notes of comparable       
maturity to the remaining term of the Securities. "Comparable Treasury Price"   
means, with respect to any Redemption Date, (i) the average of the Reference

Treasury Dealer" means (i) _______________ and its respective successors;       
provided, however, that, if the foregoing shall cease to be a primary U.S.      
Government securities dealer (a "Primary Treasury Dealer"), the Company shall   
substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer; and (ii) any other Primary 
Treasury Dealer selected by the Company. "Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations" 
means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any Redemption Date,  
the average, as determined by the Trustee, of the bid and asked prices for the  
Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its        
principal amount) quoted in writing to the Trustee by such Reference Treasury   
Dealer at 5:00 p.m. on the third Business Day preceding such Redemption Date.]

time of its designation and at all times while it serves as Depositary, be a    
clearing agency registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and any    
other applicable statute or regulation.                                         

     (e) The Trustee shall have the right to decline to authenticate and
deliver any Debt Security under this Section if the Trustee, upon the advice of 
counsel, determines that such action may not lawfully be taken or if the        
Trustee, by a committee of Responsible Officers, shall determine in good faith  
that the authentication and delivery of such Debt Security would be unjustly    
prejudicial to Holders of Outstanding Debt Securities.                          

      (f)Each Debt Security shall be dated the date of its authentication.

  (g) No Debt Security shall be entitled to any benefit under this
Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on     
such Debt Security a certificate of authentication substantially in the form    
provided for herein executed by the Trustee by manual signature of one of its   
authorized signatories, and such certificate upon any Debt Security shall be    
conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Debt Security has been    
duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and is entitled to the benefits of   
this Indenture.                                                                 

     (h) The Trustee shall have the right to decline to authenticate and
deliver any Debt Securities under this Section if the issue of such Debt        
Securities pursuant to this Indenture will affect the Trustee's own rights,     
duties or immunities under the Debt Securities and this Indenture or otherwise  
in a manner which is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee.                  

      Section 3.04.  Temporary Debt Securities. Pending the preparation of
definitive Debt Securities of any series, the Company may execute, and upon     
Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Debt        
Securities which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or

otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor  
of the definitive Debt Securities in lieu of which they are issued, in          
registered form and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions  
and other variations as the officers executing such Debt Securities may         
determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Debt Securities. In the case 
of Debt Securities of any series, such temporary Debt Securities may be in      
global form, representing all of the Outstanding Debt Securities of such        
series.                                                                         

    If temporary Debt Securities of any series are issued, the Company
will cause definitive Debt Securities of such series to be prepared without     
unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Debt Securities of such 
series, the temporary Debt Securities of such series shall be exchangeable for  
definitive Debt Securities of such series upon surrender of the temporary Debt  
Securities of such series at the office or agency of the Company in a Place of  
Payment for such series without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for        
cancellation of any one or more temporary Debt Securities of any series, the    
Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in         
exchange therefore a like principal amount of definitive Debt Securities of     
such series in any authorized denominations. Until so exchanged, the temporary  
Debt Securities of any series shall in all respects be entitled to the same     
benefits under this Indenture as definitive Debt Securities of such series and  
tenor.                                                                          

Section 3.05.   Registration, Transfer and Exchange.          

     (a) The Company shall cause to be kept a register (herein sometimes
referred to as the "Security Register") in which, subject to such reasonable    
regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration 
of Debt Securities and of transfers of Debt Securities. Separate registers may  
be kept for separate series of Debt Securities. Unless and until otherwise      
determined by the Company, the Security Register shall be kept at the office or 
agency of the Company maintained pursuant to Section 5.02, which office or      
agency is hereby appointed "Security Registrar" for the purpose of registering  
Debt Securities and registering the transfer of Debt Securities as herein       
provided. At all reasonable times the Security Register shall be open for       
inspection by the Trustee.                                                      

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

      Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 3.05, unless and
until it is exchanged in whole or in part for Debt Securities in definitive     
registered form, a Global Security representing all or a portion of the Debt    
Securities of a series may not be transferred except as a whole by the          
Depositary for such series to a nominee of such Depositary or by a nominee of   
such Depositary to such

Depositary or another nominee of such Depositary or by such Depositary or any   
such nominee to a successor Depositary for such series or a nominee of such     
successor Depositary.                                                           

      At the option of the Holder, Debt Securities of any series (except a
Global Security) may be exchanged for a like aggregate principal amount of      
other Debt Securities of the same series in any authorized denominations upon   
surrender of the Debt Securities to be exchanged at such office or agency.      
Whenever any Debt Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall 
execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver the Debt Securities      
which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.                    

   If at any time the Depositary for the Debt Securities of a series
notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary   
for the Debt Securities of such series or if at any time the Depositary for the 
Debt Securities of such series shall no longer be eligible under Section        
303(d), the Company shall appoint a successor Depositary with respect to the    
Debt Securities of such series. If a successor Depositary for the Debt          
Securities of such series is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after  
the Company receives such notice or becomes aware of such ineligibility, the    
Company's election pursuant to Section 3.01 shall no longer be effective with   
respect to the Debt Securities of such series and the Company will execute, and 
the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and         
delivery of definitive Debt Securities of such series, will authenticate and    
deliver, Debt Securities of such series in definitive registered form without   
coupons, in any authorized denominations, in an aggregate principal amount      
equal to the principal amount of the Global Security or Debt Securities         
representing such series, in exchange for such Global Security or Debt          
Securities.                                                                     

       The Company may at any time and in its sole discretion determine that
the Debt Securities of any series issued in the form of one or more Global      
Securities shall no longer be represented by a Global Security or Debt          
Securities. In such event the Company will execute, and the Trustee, upon       
receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of definitive    
Debt Securities of such series, will authenticate and deliver, Debt Securities  
of such series in definitive registered form without coupons, in any authorized 
denominations, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount   
of the Global Security or Securities representing such series, in exchange for  
such Global Security or Securities.                                             

        If specified by the Company pursuant to Section 3.01 with respect to a
series of Debt Securities, the Depositary for such series of Debt Securities    
may surrender a Global Security for such series of Debt Securities in exchange  
in whole or in part for Debt Securities of such series in definitive registered 
form on such terms as are acceptable to the Company and such Depositary.        
Thereupon, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and    
deliver, without service charge,

                     (i) to the Person specified by such Depositary a new Debt
   Security or Debt Securities of the same series, of any authorized
     denomination as requested by such Person, in an aggregate principal
       amount equal to and in exchange for such Person's beneficial interest
in the Global Security; and                                   

              (ii) to such Depositary a new Global Security in a
     denomination equal to the difference, if any, between the principal
       amount of the surrendered Global Security and the aggregate principal
   amount of Debt Securities authenticated and delivered pursuant to
Clause (i) above.                                             

Upon the exchange of a Global Security for Debt Securities in 
definitive registered form without coupons, in authorized denominations, such   
Global Security shall be cancelled by the Trustee. Debt Securities in           
definitive registered form without coupons issued in exchange for a Global      
Security pursuant to this Section 3.05 shall be registered in such names and in 
such authorized denominations as the Depositary for such Global Security,       
pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, 
shall instruct the Trustee. The Trustee shall deliver such Debt Securities to   
or as directed by the Persons in whose names such Debt Securities are so        
registered.                                                                     

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

  Every Debt Security presented or surrendered for registration of
transfer or for exchange shall (if so required by the Company, the Security     
Registrar or the Trustee) be duly endorsed by the appropriate persons and be    
accompanied by reasonable assurances that the endorsements are genuine and      
effective, or shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form  
satisfactory to the Company, the Security Registrar and the Trustee, duly       
executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and  
such other documentation as the Company, the Security Registrar or the Trustee  
may reasonably require.                                                         

      No service charge shall be made for any transfer or exchange of Debt
Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover    
any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any 
transfer or exchange of Debt Securities, other than exchanges pursuant to       
Section 3.04, 4.06 or 13.05 not involving any transfer.                         

       The Company shall not be required (i) to issue, register the transfer
of or exchange any Debt Security of any particular series during a period       
beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of the mailing of a 
notice of redemption of Debt Securities of such series selected for redemption  
under Section 4.02 and ending at the close of business on the day of such       
mailing, or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Debt Security so   
selected for

Security being redeemed in part.                                                

       (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or the Debt
Securities, transfers and exchanges of Debt Securities and beneficial interests 
in a Global Security of the kinds specified in this Section 3.05(b) shall be    
made only in accordance with this Section 3.05(b).                              

           (i) Restricted Global Security to Regulation S Global Security.
       If the owner of a beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Security
     wishes at any time to transfer such interest to a Person who wishes
to acquire the same in the form of a beneficial interest in a 
     Regulation S Global Security, such transfer may be effected only in
 accordance with the provisions of this Clause (b)(i) and Clause
      (b)(iv) below and subject to the Applicable Procedures. Upon receipt
      by the Security Registrar of (A) an order given by the Depositary or
       its authorized representative directing that a beneficial interest in
     the Regulation S Global Security in a specified principal amount be
      credited to a specified Agent Member's account and that a beneficial
  interest in the Restricted Global Security in an equal principal
     amount be debited from another specified Agent Member's account and
(B) a Regulation S Certificate, satisfactory to the Security  
  Registrar and the Trustee and duly executed by the owner of such
       beneficial interest in the Restricted Global Security or his attorney
     duly authorized in writing, then the Security Registrar, subject to
Clause (b)(iv) below, shall reduce the principal amount of the
     Restricted Global Security and increase the principal amount of the
  Regulation S Global Security by such specified principal amount.

            (ii) Regulation S Global Security to Restricted Global Security.
If the owner of a beneficial interest in a Regulation S Global
       Security wishes at any time to transfer such interest to a Person who
      wishes to acquire the same in the form of a beneficial interest in a
   Restricted Global Security, such transfer may be effected only in
   accordance with this Clause (b)(ii) and subject to the Applicable
    Procedures. Upon receipt by the Security Registrar of (A) an order
    given by the Depositary or its authorized representative directing
   that a beneficial interest in the Restricted Global Security in a
      specified principal amount be credited to a specified Agent Member's
   account and that a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global
Security in an equal principal amount be debited from another 
       specified Agent Member's account and (B) if such transfer is to occur
    during the Restricted Period, a Restricted Securities Certificate,
 satisfactory to the Security Registrar and the Trustee and duly
       executed by the owner of such beneficial interest in the Regulation S
      Global Security or his attorney duly authorized in writing, then the
Security Registrar shall reduce the principal amount of the   
       Regulation S Global Security and increase the principal amount of the
   Restricted Global Security by such specified principal amount. If
transfers under this Clause (b)(ii) occur after

      the Restricted Period, no Restricted Securities Certificates will be
required.                                                     

    (iii) Non-Global Security to Non-Global Security. A Debt
     Security that is not a Global Security may be transferred, in whole
   or in part, to a Person who takes delivery in the form of another
    Debt Security that is not a Global Security as provided in Section
   3.05(a), provided that, if the Debt Security to be transferred in
whole or in part is a Restricted Security, then the Security  
    Registrar shall have received a Restricted Securities Certificate,
 satisfactory to the Security Registrar and the Trustee and duly
      executed by the transferor Holder or his attorney duly authorized in
     writing, in which case the transferee Holder shall take delivery in
     the form of a Restricted Security (subject in every case to Section
3.05(c)).                                                     

           (iv) [Regulation S Global Security to be Held Through Euroclear
    or Clearstream during Restricted Period. The Company shall use its
best efforts to cause the Depositary to ensure that beneficial
      interests in the Regulation S Global Security may be held only in or
through accounts maintained at the Depositary by Euroclear or 
       Clearstream (or by Agent Members acting for the account thereof), and
     no Person shall be entitled to effect any transfer or exchange that
   would result in any such interest being held otherwise than in or
      through such an account; provided that this Clause (b)(iv) shall not
     prohibit any transfer or exchange of such an interest in accordance
with Clause (b)(ii) above.]                                   

            (v) Restricted Non-Global Security to Restricted Global Security
or Regulation S Global Security. If the Holder of a Restricted
Security (other than a Global Security) wishes at any time to 
     transfer all or any portion of such Security to a Person who wishes
    to take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in a
    Restricted Global Security or a Regulation S Global Security, such
    transfer may be effected only in accordance with the provisions of
this Clause (b)(v) and Clause (b)(iv) above and subject to the
      Applicable Procedures. Upon receipt by the Security Registrar of (A)
such Security as provided in Section 3.05(a) and instructions 
       satisfactory to the Security Registrar and the Trustee directing that
       a beneficial interest in the Restricted Global Security or Regulation
    S Global Security in a specified principal amount not greater than
  the principal amount of such Security be credited to a specified
     Agent Member's account and (B) a Restricted Securities Certificate,
       if the specified account is to be credited with a beneficial interest
    in a Restricted Global Security, or a Regulation S Certificate, if
       the specified account is to be credited with a beneficial interest in
    a Regulation S Global Security, in either case satisfactory to the
     Security Registrar and the Trustee and duly executed by such Holder
or his attorney duly authorized in writing, then the Security 
Registrar, subject to Clause (b)(iv) above, shall cancel such 
    Security (and issue a new Security in respect of any untransferred
      portion thereof) and increase the principal amount of the Restricted
Global

    be, by the specified principal amount, both as provided in Section
3.05(a).                                                      

       (c) Securities Act Legends. Restricted Securities and their Successor
Securities shall bear a Restricted Securities Legend, and the Regulation S      
Securities and their Successor Securities shall bear a Regulation S Legend,     
subject to the following:                                                       

           (i) subject to the following Clauses of this Section 3.05(c), a
Debt Security or any portion thereof which is exchanged, upon 
     transfer or otherwise, for a Global Security or any portion thereof
    shall bear the Securities Act Legend borne by such Global Security
while represented thereby;                                    

            (ii) subject to the following Clauses of this Section 3.05(c), a
   new Debt Security which is not a Global Security and is issued in
     exchange for another Debt Security (including a Global Security) or
 any portion thereof, upon transfer or otherwise, shall bear the
   Securities Act Legend borne by such other Debt Security, provided
 that, if such new Debt Security is required pursuant to Section
  3.05(b)(v) to be issued in the form of a Restricted Security, it
 shall bear a Restricted Securities Legend and, if such new Debt
    Security is so required to be issued in the form of a Regulation S
Security, it shall bear a Regulation S Legend;                

       (iii) Registered Securities shall not bear a Securities Act
Legend;                                                       

    (iv) at any time after the Debt Securities may be freely
      transferred without registration under the Securities Act or without
   being subject to transfer restrictions pursuant to the Securities
      Act, a new Debt Security which does not bear a Securities Act Legend
    may be issued in exchange for or in lieu of a Debt Security (other
   than a Global Security) or any portion thereof which bears such a
legend if the Security Registrar has received an Unrestricted 
    Securities Certificate, satisfactory to the Security Registrar and
       the Trustee and duly executed by the Holder of such legended Security
     or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and after such date and
 receipt of such certificate, the Trustee shall authenticate and
      deliver such a new Security in exchange for or in lieu of such other
Security as provided in this Article Three;                   

        (v) a new Debt Security which does not bear a Securities Act
    Legend may be issued in exchange for or in lieu of a Debt Security
   (other than a Global Security) or any portion thereof which bears
    such a legend if, in the Company's judgment, placing such a legend
   upon such new Debt Security is not necessary to ensure compliance
   with the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and the
Trustee, at the written direction

of the Company, shall authenticate and deliver such a new Debt
Security as provided in this Article Three; and               

         (vi) notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section
       3.05(c), a Successor Security of a Debt Security that does not bear a
      particular form of Securities Act Legend shall not bear such form of
     legend unless the Company has reasonable cause to believe that such
     Successor Security is a "restricted security" within the meaning of
      Rule 144, in which case the Trustee, at the written direction of the
       Company, shall authenticate and deliver a new Debt Security bearing a
      Restricted Securities Legend in exchange for such Successor Security
as provided in this Article Three.                            

      Section 3.06. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Debt Securities.
If (i) any mutilated Debt Security is surrendered to the Trustee or (ii) the    
Company and the Trustee receive evidence to their satisfaction of the ownership 
of and the destruction, loss or theft of any Debt Security, and there is        
delivered to the Company and the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be   
required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice  
to the Company or the Trustee that such Debt Security has been acquired by a    
bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and upon its request the Trustee 
shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such          
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Debt Security, a new Debt Security of like 
tenor and principal amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. 

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

     Upon the issuance of any new Debt Security under this Section 3.06,
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 Company and the Trustee)       
connected therewith.                                                            

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

      The provisions of this Section 3.06 are exclusive and shall preclude
(to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the        
replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Debt Securities.

Section 3.07. Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved. 
Interest on any Debt Security which is payable and is punctually paid or duly   
provided for on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose  
name that Debt Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered   
at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest. At the   
option of the Company, payment of interest on any Debt Security may be made by  
check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address      
shall appear in the Security Register or, if so specified in the manner         
contemplated by Section 3.01, by wire transfer to an account designated by such 
Person in writing to the Trustee.                                               

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

              (1) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted
      Interest to the Persons in whose names the Debt Securities (or their
   respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of
     business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted
     Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company
shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted
        Interest proposed to be paid on each Debt Security of such series, the
    date of the proposed payment and the Special Record Date therefor,
      which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior
     to the date of the proposed payment and not less then 10 days after
      the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. At
        the same time, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of
       money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of
        such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the
     Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment,
      such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the
Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this Clause 
   provided. Unless the Trustee is acting as the Security Registrar,
       promptly after such Special Record Date the Company shall furnish the
        Trustee a list, or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee
    with respect thereto, of the names and addresses of, and principal
  amounts of Debt Securities held by, the Holders appearing on the
   Security Register at the close of business on such Special Record
        Date. In the name and at the expense of the Company, the Trustee shall
     cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and
    the Special Record Date therefor to be mailed, first-class postage
  prepaid, to each Holder of Debt Securities of such series at his
       address as it appears in the Security Register, not less than 10 days
      prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of
such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor

   having been mailed as aforesaid, such Defaulted Interest shall be
       paid to the Persons in whose names the Debt Securities of such series
      (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are, registered on such
    Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the
following Clause (2).                                         

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

     Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.07, each Debt
Security delivered under this Indenture upon transfer of or in exchange for or  
in lieu of any other Debt Security shall carry the rights to interest accrued   
and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Debt Security.      

    Section 3.08. Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentment of a
Debt 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     
Debt Security is registered as the owner of such Security for the purpose of    
receiving payment of principal of and any premium and (subject to Section 3.07) 
interest on such Debt Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether   
or not such Debt Security shall be overdue, and neither the Company, the        
Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice 
to the contrary.                                                                

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

 Section 3.09. Cancellation. All Debt Securities surrendered for
payment, redemption, transfer or exchange shall, if surrendered to any Person   
other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee and shall be promptly       
cancelled by it. The Company may at any time deliver to the Trustee for         
cancellation any Debt Securities previously authenticated and delivered         
hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all 
Debt Securities so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee.        
Acquisition by the Company of any Debt Security shall not operate as a          
redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Debt         
Securities unless and until the same is delivered to the Trustee for            
cancellation. No Debt Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in        
exchange for any Debt Securities cancelled as provided in this Section, except  
as expressly permitted in this Indenture. All cancelled Debt

Securities held by the Trustee shall be disposed of by the Trustee in           
accordance with its customary procedures                                        

      Section 3.10. Computation of Interest. Except as otherwise specified
as contemplated by Section 3.01 for Debt Securities of any series, interest on  
the Debt Securities of each series shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day  
year of twelve 30-day months.                                                   

      Section 3.11. Payment in Currencies. (a) Payment of the principal of
(and premium, if any) and interest on the Debt Securities of any series shall   
be made in the currency or currencies specified pursuant to Section 3.01;       
provided that, if so specified in the manner provided in Section 3.01, the      
Holder of a Debt Security of such series may elect to receive such payment in   
any one of (i) Dollars and (ii) any other currency designated for such purpose  
pursuant to Section 3.01. A Holder may make such election by delivering to the  
Trustee a written notice thereof, substantially in the form attached hereto as  
Exhibit A or in such other form as may be acceptable to the Trustee, not later  
than the close of business on the Regular or Special Record Date immediately    
preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date or the fifteenth day immediately 
preceding Maturity, as the case may be, with respect to Debt Securities of such 
series. Such election shall remain in effect with respect to such Holder until  
such Holder delivers to the Trustee a written notice substantially in the form  
attached hereto as Exhibit A or in such other form as may be acceptable to the  
Trustee specifying a change in the currency in which such payment is to be      
made; provided that any such notice must be delivered to the Trustee not later  
than the close of business on the Regular or Special Record Date immediately    
preceding the next Interest Payment Date or the fifteenth day immediately       
preceding Maturity, as the case may be, with respect to Debt Securities of such 
series in order to be effective for the payment to be made thereon; and         
provided further that no such change in currency may be made with respect to    
payments to be made on any Debt Security with respect to which notice of        
redemption has been given by the Company pursuant to Section 4.02.              

 (b) Except as otherwise specified in the manner contemplated by
Section 3.01, the Trustee shall deliver to the Company, not later than the      
fourth Business Day following each Regular or Special Record Date with respect  
to an Interest Payment Date or the tenth Business Day immediately preceding     
Maturity, as the case may be, with respect to a series of Debt Securities, a    
written notice specifying, in the currency in which such series of Debt         
Securities is denominated, the aggregate amount of the principal of (and        
premium, if any) and interest on such series of Debt Securities to be paid on   
such payment date. If payments in respect of such series of Debt Securities are 
designated to be made in a currency other than the currency in which such       
series of Debt Securities is denominated or if at least one Holder has made the 
election referred to in Subsection (a) above with respect to such series of     
Debt Securities, then the written notice referred to in the preceding sentence  
shall also specify, in each currency in which payment in respect of such series 
of Debt Securities is to be

made pursuant to said Subsection (a), the amount of principal of (and premium,  
if any) and interest on such series of Debt Securities to be paid in such       
currency on such payment date.                                                  

         (c) The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, not later than the eighth
Business Day following each Regular or Special Record Date or the tenth day     
immediately preceding Maturity, as the case may be, with respect to a series of 
Debt Securities, an Exchange Rate Officer's Certificate in respect of the       
Dollar or Foreign Currency payments to be made on such payment date in respect  
of such Debt Securities. Except as otherwise specified in the manner            
contemplated by Section 3.01, the amount receivable by Holders of a series of   
Debt Securities who have elected payment in a currency other than the currency  
in which such series of Debt Securities is denominated as provided in           
Subsection (a) above shall be determined by the Company on the basis of the     
applicable Exchange Rate.                                                       

         (d) (i) If the Foreign Currency in which a series of Debt Securities is
denominated ceases to be used both by the government of the country that issued 
such currency and for the settlement of transactions by public institutions of  
or within the international banking community, then, with respect to each date  
for the payment of principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on such      
series of Debt Securities occurring after the final date on which such Foreign  
Currency was so used, all payments with respect to the Debt Securities of such  
series shall be made in Dollars. If payment is to be made in Dollars to the     
Holders of any such series of Debt Securities pursuant to the provisions of the 
preceding sentence, then the amount to be paid in Dollars on a payment date by  
the Company to the Trustee and by the Trustee or any Paying Agent to Holders    
shall be determined by the Trustee as of the Regular or Special Record Date     
immediately preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date or the fifteenth day 
immediately preceding Maturity, as the case may be, with respect to Debt        
Securities of such series, and shall be equal to the sum obtained by            
translating the specified Foreign Currency into Dollars at the applicable       
Exchange Rate on the last Record Date on which such Foreign Currency was so     
used in either fashion; provided that payment to a Holder of a Debt Security of 
such series shall be made in a different Foreign Currency if that holder has    
properly elected or properly elects payment in such Foreign Currency as         
provided for by Subsection (a) above. If a Holder of a Debt Security            
denominated in a composite currency has elected payment in a specified Foreign  
Currency as provided for by Subsection (a) above and such Foreign Currency      
ceases to be used both by the government of the country that issued such        
currency and for the settlement of transactions by public institutions of or    
within the international banking community, such Holder shall receive payment   
in such composite currency; provided that such payment to such Holder shall be  
made in a different Foreign Currency or in Dollars if that Holder has properly  
elected or properly elects payments in such Foreign Currency or in Dollars as   
provided for by Subsection (a) above.                                           

       If payment in respect of Debt Securities of a series denominated in a
composite currency is to be made in Dollars pursuant to the provisions of the

preceding paragraph, then the amount to be paid in Dollars on a payment date by 
the Company to the Trustee and by the Trustee or any Paying Agent to Holders    
shall be determined by the Trustee as of the Regular or Special Record Date     
immediately preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date or the fifteenth day 
immediately preceding Maturity, as the case may be, with respect to Debt        
Securities of such series, and shall be equal to the sum of the amounts         
obtained by translating each Component of such composite currency into Dollars  
at the applicable Exchange Rate for such Component on such Record Date or       
fifteenth day, as the case may be, multiplied by the number of units of such    
composite currency, as the case may be, that would have been so paid had such   
composite currency, as the case may be, not ceased to be so used. If payment is 
to be made in a Foreign Currency to a Holder of a Debt Security of such series  
pursuant to the preceding paragraph, then the amount to be paid in such Foreign 
Currency on a payment date by the Company to the Trustee and by the Trustee or  
any Paying Agent to such Holder shall be determined by the Trustee as of such   
Record Date or fifteenth day, as the case may be, and shall be determined by    
(A) translating each Component of such composite currency into Dollars at the   
applicable Exchange Rate for such Component on such Record Date or fifteenth    
day, as the case may be, and (B) translating the sum in Dollars so obtained     
into such Foreign Currency at the applicable Exchange Rate for such Foreign     
Currency on such Record Date or fifteenth day, as the case may be.              

All decisions and determinations of the Trustee regarding the 
translation of Foreign Currency into Dollars or the translation of any          
composite currency into Dollars or the translation of Dollars into Foreign      
Currency pursuant to this Subsection (d) shall, in the absence of manifest      
error, be conclusive for all purposes and irrevocably binding upon the Company  
and all Holders of the Debt Securities.                                         

If a Foreign Currency in which a series of Debt Securities is 
denominated or in which payments in respect of Debt Securities of such series   
may be made ceases to be used both by the government of the country that issued 
such currency and for the settlement of transactions by public institutions of  
or within the international banking community, the Company, in the event that   
it learns thereof (without any duty to investigate), will immediately give      
notice thereof to the Trustee (and the Trustee promptly thereafter will give    
notice to the relevant Holders in the manner provided in Section 14.06)         
specifying the last date on which such Foreign Currency was so used in either   
fashion. In the event any composite currency in which a Debt Security is        
denominated or payable ceases to be used for the purposes for which it was      
established, the Company, upon learning thereof, will immediately give notice   
thereof to the Trustee (and the Trustee promptly thereafter will give notice to 
the relevant Holders in the manner provided in Section 14.06) specifying the    
Conversion Date with respect to such composite currency and the Components of   
such composite currency on such Conversion Date. In the event of any subsequent 
change in any such Component, the Company, upon learning thereof, will give     
notice to the Trustee similarly. The

Trustee shall be fully justified and protected in relying and acting upon the   
information so received by it from the Company and shall not otherwise have any 
duty or obligation to determine such information independently.                 

Section 3.12. CUSIP Numbers. The Company in issuing the Debt  
Securities may use "CUSIP" numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the  
Trustee shall use "CUSIP" numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to  
Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made 
as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Debt Securities  
or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed   
only on the other identification numbers printed on the Debt Securities, and    
any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such  
numbers The Company will promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the       
"CUSIP" numbers.                                                                

ARTICLE 4 
REDEMPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES; SINKING FUND 

        Section 4.01. Applicability of Right of Redemption. Redemption of Debt
Securities (other than pursuant to a sinking fund or analogous provision)       
permitted by the terms of any series of Debt Securities shall be made in        
accordance with such terms and the applicable provisions of this Article;       
provided, however, that if any such terms of a series of Debt Securities shall  
conflict with any provision of this Article, the terms of such series shall     
govern.                                                                         

   Section 4.02. Notice of Redemption. If the Company shall elect to
redeem the Debt Securities of any series in whole or in part as aforesaid, it   
shall fix a date for redemption and give notice of its election so to redeem by 
mailing written notice, postage prepaid, at least 30 days but not more than 60  
days before the Redemption Date, to each Holder of Debt Securities to be        
redeemed as a whole or in part. Any notice which shall be mailed in the manner  
herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether 
or not the Holder shall receive such notice. The Company shall notify the       
Trustee at least 15 days prior to the mailing of such notice. Failure to mail   
such notice, or any defect in the notice mailed, to the Holder of any Debt      
Security designated for redemption as a whole or in part shall not affect the   
validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Debt Security.      

    Each notice of redemption shall identify the Debt Securities to be
redeemed (including CUSIP number) state such election to redeem on the part of  
the Company, the Redemption Date, the Place or Places of Payment for the Debt

accrue thereon on such date, unless the Company defaults in payment of the      
Redemption Price. If less than all Outstanding Debt Securities of a series are  
to be redeemed, the notice shall also identify (and, in the case of partial     
redemption, state the principal amounts of) the particular Debt Securities that 
are to be redeemed. In case of partial redemption, the notice shall state the   
portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed and shall state that on  
and after the date fixed for redemption, upon surrender of such Debt Security,  
a new Debt Security of the same series in aggregate principal amount equal to   
the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued.                                  

  Any notice of redemption of Debt Securities at the option of the
Company shall be given by the Company or, at the Company's written request, by

   Section 4.03. Selection of Debt Securities on Partial Redemption.
Except as otherwise specified in the manner contemplated by Section 3.01 for    
the Debt Securities of any series, if the Company shall at any time elect to    
redeem less than all the Debt Securities of such series then Outstanding, it    
shall notify the Trustee of the principal amount of Debt Securities to be       
redeemed before the mailing of the notice of redemption pursuant to Section     
4.02, and thereupon the Trustee shall select, in such manner as the Trustee     
shall deem appropriate and fair and which may provide for the selection for     
redemption of portions (equal to the minimum authorized denomination for Debt   
Securities of such series or any integral multiple thereof that is also an      
authorized denomination, but in no event shall such portion be less than        
$1,000) of the principal amount of Debt Securities of such series of a          
denomination larger than the minimum authorized denomination for Debt           
Securities of such series.                                                      

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

sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of, and (except if the Redemption Date   
shall be an Interest Payment Date) accrued interest on, all the Debt Securities 
or portions thereof which are to be redeemed on that date, in the currency or   
currencies in which such Redemption Price shall be paid.

     Section 4.05. Debt Securities Payable on Redemption Date. Notice of
redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Debt Securities so to be         
redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date specified in such notice, become due and 
payable at the applicable Redemption Price, together with interest accrued      
thereon to such Redemption Date, and from and after such Redemption Date        
(unless the Company shall default in the payment of such Redemption Price or    
any such accrued interest), interest on such Debt Securities shall cease to

3.07.                                                                           

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

   Section 4.06. Debt Securities Redeemed in Part. Any Debt Security
which is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at a Place of Payment 
therefore (with, if the Company, the Security Registrar or the Trustee so       
requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form       
satisfactory to the Company, the Security Registrar 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 Debt Security without service charge, a new Debt Security 
or Debt Securities of the same series, in any authorized denomination as        
requested by such Holder, in an aggregate principal amount equal to and in      
exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Debt Security so    
surrendered, except that if a Global Security is so surrendered, the Company    
shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Depositary 
for such Global Security, without service charge, a new Global Security or      
Securities in a denomination equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed        
portion of the principal of the Global Security so surrendered.                 

 Section 4.07. Applicability of Sinking Fund. Redemption of Debt
Securities permitted or required pursuant to a sinking fund for the retirement  
of Debt Securities of a series shall be made in accordance with the applicable  
provisions of this Article, except as otherwise specified in the manner         
contemplated by Section 3.01 for Debt Securities of such series.                

    The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the
terms of Debt 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 Debt Securities of any series is herein referred   
to as

an "Optional Sinking Fund Payment". The cash amount of any Mandatory Sinking    
Fund Payment shall be subject to reduction as provided in Section 4.08.         

       Section 4.08. Mandatory and Optional Sinking Funds. In lieu of making
all or any part of any Mandatory Sinking Fund Payment with respect to any       
series of Debt Securities in cash, the Company may at its option (a) deliver to 
the Trustee Debt Securities of such series theretofore purchased or otherwise   
acquired (except upon redemption pursuant to the mandatory sinking fund) by the 
Company or receive credit for Debt Securities of such series (not previously so 
credited) theretofore purchased or otherwise acquired (except as aforesaid) by  
the Company and delivered to the Trustee for cancellation pursuant to Section   
3.09, (b) receive credit for Optional Sinking Fund Payments (not previously so  
credited) made pursuant to this Section 4.08, or (c) receive credit for Debt    
Securities of such series (not previously so credited) redeemed by the Company  
through any optional redemption provision contained in the terms of such        
series. Debt Securities so delivered or credited shall be received or credited  
by the Trustee at the sinking fund redemption price specified in such Debt      
Securities.                                                                     

    On or before the 45th day next preceding each sinking fund payment
date for any series, the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officers'       
Certificate (a) specifying the portion of the Mandatory Sinking Fund Payment to 
be satisfied by credit of Debt Securities of such series, (b) stating that none 
of the Debt Securities of such series has theretofore been so credited, (c)     
stating whether or not the Company intends to exercise its right to make an     
Optional Sinking Fund Payment with respect to such series and, if so,           
specifying the amount of such Optional Sinking Fund Payment which the Company   
intends to pay on or before the next succeeding sinking fund payment date and   
(d) specifying such sinking fund payment date. Any Debt Securities of such      
series to be credited and required to be delivered to the Trustee in order for  
the Company to be entitled to credit therefor as aforesaid which have not       
theretofore been delivered to the Trustee shall be delivered for cancellation   
pursuant to Section 3.09 to the Trustee with such written statement (or         
reasonably promptly thereafter if acceptable to the Trustee). Such written      
statement shall be irrevocable and upon its receipt by the Trustee the Company  
shall become unconditionally obligated to make all the cash payments or         
payments therein referred to, if any, on or before the next succeeding sinking  
fund payment date. Failure of the Company, on or before any such 45th day, to   
deliver such written statement and Debt Securities specified in this paragraph, 
if any, shall not constitute a default but shall constitute, on and as of such  
date, the irrevocable election of the Company (i) that the Mandatory Sinking    
Fund Payment for such series due on the next succeeding sinking fund payment    
date shall be paid entirely in cash without the option to deliver or credit     
Debt Securities of such series in respect `thereof and (ii) that the Company    
will make no Optional Sinking Fund Payment with respect to such series as       
provided in this Section 4.08.                                                  

    Section 4.09. Application of Sinking Fund Payments. If a Mandatory
Sinking Fund Payment or Optional Sinking Fund Payment made in cash with

respect to a particular series of Debt Securities, plus any unused balance of   
any preceding sinking fund payments made in cash with respect to such series,   
shall exceed $50,000 (or a lesser sum if the Company shall so request), such    
funds shall be applied by the Trustee on the sinking fund payment date provided 
for in the terms of a particular series of Debt Securities next following the   
date of such payment, unless the date of such payment shall be a sinking fund   
payment date, in which case such payment shall be applied on such sinking fund  
payment date, to a redemption of Debt Securities of such series at the          
Redemption Price specified therein. Not less than 45 days (unless a shorter     
period shall be satisfactory to the Trustee) before each such sinking fund      
payment date, the Trustee shall select, in the manner provided in Section 4.03, 
for redemption on such sinking fund payment date, a sufficient principal amount 
of Debt Securities of such series to absorb said funds, as nearly as may be,    
and shall, at the expense and in the name of the Company, thereupon cause       
notice of the redemption of such Debt Securities to be given in substantially   
the manner provided in Section 4.02 for the redemption of Debt Securities in    
part at the option of the Company, except that the notice of redemption shall   
also state that such Debt Securities are being redeemed for the sinking fund.   
Any sinking fund. moneys not so applied by the Trustee to the redemption of     
Debt Securities of such series shall be added to the next sinking fund payment  
received in funds by the Trustee and, together with such payment, shall be      
applied in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4.09. Any and all     
sinking fund moneys held by the Trustee on the last sinking fund payment date   
with respect to Debt Securities of such series, and not held for the payment or 
redemption of particular Debt Securities of such series, shall be applied by    
the Trustee to the payment of the principal of the Debt Securities of such      
series at Maturity.                                                             

      On or prior to each sinking fund payment date, the Company shall pay
to the Trustee a sum equal to all interest accrued to the date fixed for        
redemption on Debt Securities to be redeemed on such sinking fund payment date  
pursuant to this Section 4.09.                                                  

   The Trustee shall not redeem any Debt Securities of a series with
sinking fund moneys or mail any notice of redemption of Debt Securities of such 
series by operation of the sinking fund during the continuance of any Event of  
Default (other than an Event of Default occurring as a consequence of this      
paragraph) of which the Trustee has actual knowledge, except that if the notice 
of redemption of any Debt Securities of such series shall theretofore have been 
mailed in accordance with the provisions hereof, the Trustee shall redeem such  
Debt Securities if cash sufficient for the purpose shall be deposited with the  
Trustee in accordance with the terms of this Article Four. Except as aforesaid, 
any moneys in the sinking fund at the time any such Event of Default shall      
occur and any moneys thereafter paid into the sinking fund shall, during the    
continuation of such Event of Default, be held as security for the payment of   
all the Debt Securities of such series; provided, however, that in case such    
Event of Default shall have been cured or waived as provided herein, such       
moneys shall thereafter be applied on

ARTICLE 5 
PARTICULAR COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY 

      Section 5.01. To Pay Principal, Premium, If Any, and Interest. The
Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of each series of Debt Securities  
that it will duly and punctually pay the principal of (and premium, if any) and 
interest on the Debt Securities of such series in accordance with the terms of  
the Debt Securities of such series and this Indenture.                          

        The Company shall pay interest on overdue principal of a Debt Security
of any series at the rate of interest prescribed therefore in such Debt         
Security and, to the extent lawful, it shall pay interest on overdue            
instalments of interest at the same rate.                                       

      Section 5.02. To Maintain Offices or Agencies. As long as any of the
Debt Securities shall remain outstanding, the Company will maintain or will     
cause to be maintained, in each Place of Payment for any series of Debt         
Securities, one or more offices or agencies where Debt Securities of such       
series may be presented or surrendered for payment, exchange and registration   
of transfer as in this Indenture provided and where notices and demands to or   
upon the Company in respect of this Indenture and of the Debt Securities of     
such series may be served. The Company will from time to time give written      
notice to the Trustee of the location of any such office or agency and of any   
change in the location thereof. In case the Company shall fail to maintain any  
such office or agency or to give such notice of its location or of any change   
in the location thereof, presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be  
made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee. The Company hereby 
initially appoints the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee as its office or   
agency for all the above purposes.                                              

     Section 5.03. Money For Debt Security 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 Debt Securities, then, on or before each date on which the        
principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on any of the Debt Securities of 
that series shall become payable, by their terms or as a result of the calling  
thereof for redemption, the Company will set apart and segregate and hold in    
trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a sum sufficient to pay   
such principal (and premium, if any) or interest which shall have become so     
payable until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of  
as herein provided, and will notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to  
act and of any failure by any other obligor upon the Debt Securities of that    
series to make any such payment.                                                

      If the Company shall appoint and at the time have a Paying Agent for
the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on any series 
of Debt

Securities, then, on or before the date on which the principal of (and premium, 
if any) or interest on any of the Debt Securities of that series shall become   
payable as aforesaid, the Company will pay to such Paying Agent a sum           
sufficient to pay such principal (and premium, if any) or interest, to be held  
in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled. thereto, and (unless such     
Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company will notify the Trustee of its action  
or failure so to act.                                                           

        If such Paying Agent shall be other than the Trustee, the Company will
cause such Paying Agent 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 5.03, (1) that such Paying Agent shall hold all sums held by it 
for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on the    
Debt Securities of that series in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled 
thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of  
as herein provided; (2) that such Paying Agent shall give the Trustee notice of 
any default by the Company or any other obligor upon the Debt Securities of     
that series in the making of any payment of the principal of (and premium, if   
any) or interest on the Debt Securities of that series when the same shall have 
become due and payable; and (3) that such Paying Agent shall, at any time       
during the continuance of any such default, upon the written request of the     
Trustee, pay to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by it.                    

    Anything in this Section 5.03 to the contrary notwithstanding, the
Company may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and      
discharge of this Indenture or for any other reason, pay or cause to be paid to 
the Trustee all sums held in trust by it or by any Paying Agent (other than the 
Trustee) as required by this Section 5.03, such sums to be held by the Trustee  
upon the same trusts as those upon which such sums were held by the Company or  
such Paying Agent.                                                              

        Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held
by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if   
any) or interest on any Debt Securities of any series and remaining unclaimed   
for two years after such principal (and premium, if any) or interest has become 
due and payable shall be paid to the Company on Company Request, or (if then    
held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of     
such Debt Security shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look     
only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or    
such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the    
Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease.                              

      Section 5.04. Restrictions on Liens Upon Voting Stock of Significant
Subsidiaries. (a) The Company will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to,  
incur, issue, assume or guarantee any Indebtedness if such Indebtedness is      
secured by a pledge of, lien on, or security interest in any shares of Voting   
Stock of any Significant Subsidiary, whether such Voting Stock is now owned or  
shall hereafter be acquired, without effectively providing that the Debt        
Securities

(together with, if the Company shall so determine, any other indebtedness or    
obligations of the Company or any Subsidiary ranking equally with such Debt     
Securities and then existing or thereafter created) shall be secured equally    
and ratably with such Indebtedness. For the purposes of the foregoing,          
pledging, placing a lien on or creating a security interest in any shares of    
Voting Stock of a Significant Subsidiary in order to secure then outstanding    
Indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary shall be deemed to be the         
incurrence, issuance, assumption or guarantee (as the case may be) of such      
Indebtedness, but the foregoing shall not apply to Indebtedness secured by a    
pledge of, lien on or security interest in any shares of Voting Stock of any    
corporation at the time it becomes a Significant Subsidiary, including          
extensions, renewals and replacements of such Indebtedness without increase in  
the amount thereof.                                                             

       (b) For the purposes of Subsection (a) of this Section 5.04, the term
"Voting Stock" shall mean capital stock the holders of which have general       
voting power under ordinary circumstances to elect at least a majority of the   
board of directors of a corporation; provided that, for the purposes hereof,    
capital stock which carries only the right to vote conditioned on the           
occurrence of an event shall not be considered voting stock whether or not such 
event shall have occurred.                                                      

       (c) For the purposes of Subsection (a) of this Section 5.04, the term
"Significant Subsidiary" shall mean a Subsidiary, including its Subsidiaries,   
which meets any of the following conditions:                                    

                     (1) The Company's and its other Subsidiaries' investments
  in and advances to the Subsidiary exceed 10 percent of the total
       assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries consolidated as of the end

         (2) The Company's and its other Subsidiaries'
proportionate share of the total assets (after intercompany   
        eliminations) of the Subsidiary exceeds 10 percent of the total assets
       of the Company and its Subsidiaries consolidated as of the end of the
most recently completed fiscal year; or                       

                   (3) The Company's and its other Subsidiaries' equity in
the income from continuing operations before income taxes,    
     extraordinary items and cumulative effect of a change in accounting
       principles of the Subsidiary exceeds 10 percent of such income of the
 Company and its Subsidiaries consolidated for the most recently
completed fiscal year.                                        

     (d) For the purposes of making the prescribed income test in clause
(3) of Subsection (c) of this Section 5.04, the following shall be applicable:  

                   (1) When a loss has been incurred by either the Company
     and its Subsidiaries consolidated or the tested Subsidiary, but not
both, the

 be excluded from the income of the Company and its Subsidiaries
consolidated for purposes of the computation; and             

             (2) If income of the Company and its Subsidiaries
     consolidated for the most recent fiscal year is at least 10 percent
      lower than the average of the income for the last five fiscal years,
such average income shall be substituted for purposes of the  
        computation. Any loss years shall be omitted for purposes of computing
average income.                                               

     Section 5.05. Restrictions on Consolidation, Merger, Sale, Etc. The

substantially all its assets to another corporation, or purchase all or         
substantially all the assets of another corporation, unless (a) either the      
Company shall be the continuing corporation, or the successor, transferee or    
lessee corporation (if other than the Company) shall expressly assume, by

principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on all the Debt Securities,     
according to their tenor, and the due and punctual performance and observance   
of all the covenants and conditions of this Indenture to be performed or        
observed by the Company, and (b) immediately after giving effect to such        
consolidation, merger, sale, lease or purchase the Company or the successor,

     (a) a review of the activities of the Company during such year with
regard to its compliance with this Indenture has been made under such officer's 
supervision; and                                                                

        (b) to the best of such officer's knowledge, based on such review, the
Company has fulfilled all its obligations under this Indenture throughout such  
year, or, if there has been a default in the fulfillment of any such            
obligation, specifying each such default known to such officer and the nature   
and status thereof, all without regard to grace periods or notice requirements.

      Section 5.07. Compliance With Covenants and Conditions May Be Waived

particular instance to comply with a covenant or condition set forth in

      Section 6.01. Events of Default. Except where otherwise indicated by
the context or where the term is otherwise defined for a specific purpose, the  
term "Event of Default" as used in this Indenture with respect to Debt          
Securities of any series shall mean one of the following described events

any) on all the Debt Securities of such series then Outstanding, if not then    
due and payable, to be due and payable, and upon any such declaration the same  
shall become and be immediately due and payable, anything contained in this     
Indenture or in the Debt Securities of such series to the contrary              
notwithstanding; provided that no Event of Default with respect to Debt         
Securities of a series, except with respect to an Event of Default under        
Subsections (e) and (f) of Section 6.01, shall constitute an Event of Default   
with respect to Debt Securities of any other series. The foregoing provision,   
however, is subject to the condition that, if at any time after the principal   
amount (or specified amount) of and all accrued but unpaid interest (if any) on 
all the Debt Securities of such series shall have been so declared to be due    
and payable, all arrears of interest, if any, upon all the Debt Securities of   
such series (with interest, to the extent that interest thereon shall be        
legally enforceable, on any overdue instalment of interest at the rate borne by 
the Debt Securities of such series) and all amounts owed to the Trustee and any 
predecessor trustee hereunder under Section 10.01(a) and all other sums payable 
under this Indenture (except the principal of the Debt Securities of such       
series which would not be due and payable were it not for such declaration),    
shall be paid by the Company, and every other default and Event of Default      
under this Indenture shall have been cured to the reasonable satisfaction of    
the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities  
of such series then Outstanding, or provision deemed by such Holders to be      
adequate therefore shall have been made, then and in every such case the        
Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities of   
such series then Outstanding may, on behalf of the Holders of all the Debt      
Securities of such series, waive the Event of Default by reason of which the    
principal of the Debt Securities of such series shall have been so declared to  
be due and payable and may rescind and annul such declaration and its           
consequences; but no such waiver, recission or annulment shall extend to or     
affect any subsequent default or Event of Default or impair any right           
consequent thereon. Any declaration by the Trustee pursuant to this Section     
6.02 shall be by written notice to the Company, and any declaration or waiver   
by the Holders of Debt Securities of any series pursuant to this Section 602    
shall be by written notice to the Company and the Trustee.                      

      Section 6.03. Collection of Amounts Due and Suits for Enforcement by
Trustee. If the Company shall fail for a period of 30 days to pay any           
installment of interest on the Debt Securities of any series, or shall fail to  
pay the principal of and premium, if any, on any of the Debt Securities of such 
series when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at maturity,  
or by call for redemption (otherwise than pursuant to a sinking fund), by       
declaration as authorized by this Indenture or otherwise, or shall fail for a   
period of 30 days to make any sinking fund payment as to a series of Debt       
Securities, then, upon demand of the Trustee, the Company will pay to the       
Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of the Debt Securities of such series    
then Outstanding the whole amount which then shall have become due and payable  
on all the Debt Securities of such series, with interest on the overdue         
principal and premium, if any, and (so far as the same may be legally           
enforceable) on the overdue installments of interest at the

rate borne by the Debt Securities of such series, and all amounts owed to the   
Trustee and any predecessor trustee hereunder under Section 10.01(a).           

   Until such demand is made by the Trustee, the Company may pay the
principal of and interest on the Debt Securities of any series to the Holders,  
whether or not the principal of and interest on the Debt Securities of such     
series be overdue.                                                              

   In case the Company fails forthwith to pay such amounts upon such
demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, shall  
be entitled and empowered to institute any action or proceeding at law or in    
equity for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute any  
such action or proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce any such 
judgment or final decree against the Company or any other obligor upon the Debt 
Securities of such series, and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be     
payable out of the property of the Company or any other obligor upon the Debt   
Securities of such series, wherever situated, in the manner provided by law.    
Every recovery of judgment in any such action or other proceeding, subject to   
the payment to the Trustee of all amounts owed to the Trustee and any           
predecessor trustee hereunder under Section 10.01(a), shall be for the ratable  
benefit of the Holders of such series of Debt Securities which shall be the     
subject of such action or proceeding. All rights of action upon or under any of 
the Debt Securities or this Indenture may be enforced by the Trustee without    
the possession of any of the Debt Securities and without the production of any  
thereof at any trial or any proceeding relative thereto.                        

      Section 6.04. Trustee Appointed Attorney-in-Fact For Holders to File
Claims. The Trustee is hereby appointed, and each and every Holder, by          
receiving and holding Debt Securities, shall be conclusively deemed to have     
appointed the Trustee, the true and lawful attorney-in-fact of such Holder,     
with authority to make or file (whether or not the Company shall be in default  
in respect of the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest 
on any of the Debt Securities), in its own name and as trustee of an express    
trust or otherwise as it shall deem advisable, in any receivership, insolvency, 
liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization or other judicial proceeding relative   
to the Company or any other obligor upon the Debt Securities or to their        
respective creditors or property, any and all claims, proofs of claim, proofs   
of debt, petitions, consents, other papers and documents and amendments of any  
thereof, as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the    
Trustee and any predecessor trustee hereunder and of the Holders allowed in any 
such proceeding and to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable 
or deliverable on any such claim, and to execute and deliver any and all other  
papers and documents and to do and perform any and all other acts and things,   
as it may deem necessary or advisable in order to enforce in any such           
proceeding any of the claims of the Trustee and any predecessor trustee         
hereunder and any of the Holders, and any receiver, assignee, trustee,          
custodian or debtor in any such proceeding is hereby authorized, and each and   
every holder, by receiving and holding Debt Securities, shall be

custodian or debtor to make any such payment or delivery only to or on the      
order of the Trustee, and to pay to the Trustee any amount due it and any       
predecessor trustee hereunder under Section 10.01(a); provided, however, that   
nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize or empower the Trustee to 
consent to or accept or adopt, on behalf of any Holder, any plan of             
reorganization or readjustment of the Company affecting the Debt Securities or  
the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize or empower the Trustee to     
vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.              

      Section 6.05. Application of Moneys Collected by Trustee. Any moneys
collected by the Trustee with respect to a series of Debt Securities under this 
Article 6 shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed   
by the Trustee and, in the case of the distribution of such moneys on account   
of principal (or premium, if any) or interest, upon presentation of the Debt    
Securities and the notation thereon of the payment, if only partially paid, and 
upon surrender thereof, if fully paid:                                          

                    First:  To the payment of all amounts due to the Trustee
and any predecessor trustee hereunder under Section 10.01(a); 

                 Second: In case the principal of the Outstanding Debt
       Securities of such series shall not have become due and be unpaid, to
       the payment of interest on the Debt Securities of such series, in the
  order of the Maturity of the installments of such interest, with
       interest (to the extent that such interest is legally enforceable and
     has been collected by the Trustee) upon the overdue installments of
      interest at the rate borne by such Debt Securities, such payments to
be made ratably to the Persons entitled thereto;              

                Third: In case the principal of the Outstanding Debt
 Securities of such series shall have become due and payable, by
   declaration or otherwise, to the payment of the whole amount then
        owing and unpaid upon the Debt Securities of such series for principal
  (and premium, if any) and interest, with interest on the overdue
      principal and premium, if any, and (to the extent that such interest
    is legally enforceable and has been collected by the Trustee) upon
overdue installments of interest at the rate borne by the Debt
Securities of such series, and in case such moneys shall be   
      insufficient to pay in full the whole amounts so due and unpaid upon
 the Debt Securities of such series, then to the payment of such
    principal (and premium, if any) and interest without preference or
 priority of principal and premium, if any, over interest, or of
       interest over principal and premium, if any, or of any installment of
 interest over any other installment of interest, or of any Debt
      Security of such series over any other Debt Security of such series,
   ratably according to the aggregate amounts of such principal (and
       premium, if any) and accrued and unpaid interest. The Holders of each
series of Debt Securities denominated in any

       composite currency or a Foreign Currency shall be entitled to receive
a ratable portion of the amount determined by the Trustee by  
    converting the principal amount Outstanding of such series of Debt
   Securities and matured but unpaid interest on such series of Debt
       Securities in the currency in which such series of Debt Securities is
    denominated into Dollars at the applicable Exchange Rate as of the
 date of declaration of acceleration of the Maturity of the Debt
       Securities (or, if there is no such Exchange Rate as of such date for
    the reasons specified in Section 3.11(d)(i), such Exchange Rate on
       the date specified in such Section). Any surplus then remaining shall
      be paid to the Company or to such other Persons as shall be entitled
to receive it.                                                

      Section 6.06. Holders May Direct Proceedings and Waive Defaults. The
Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Debt     
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      
hereunder, or of exercising any trust or power hereby conferred upon the        
Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of such series; provided, however,  
that, subject to the provisions of Sections 10.01 and 10.02, the Trustee shall  
have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee, being    
advised by counsel, determines that the action so directed may not lawfully be  
taken or would be unduly prejudicial to Holders not joining in such direction   
or would involve the Trustee in personal liability.                             

Prior to any declaration accelerating the Maturity of the Debt
Securities of any series, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal      
amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of such series may on behalf of the   
Holders of all of the Debt Securities of such series waive any past default or  
Event of Default hereunder and its consequences, except a default in the        
payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on any Debt       
Security of such series. Upon any such waiver the Company, the Trustee and the  
Holders of the Debt Securities of such series shall be restored to their former 
positions and rights hereunder, respectively, but no such waiver shall extend   
to any subsequent or other default or Event of Default or impair any right      
consequent thereon. Whenever any default or Event of Default hereunder shall    
have been waived as permitted by this Section 606, said default or Event of     
Default shall for all purposes of the Debt Securities of such series and this   
Indenture be deemed to have been cured and to be not continuing.                

Section 6.07. Limitations on Right of Holders to Institute    
Proceedings. No Holder of any Debt Security of any series shall have any right  
to institute an action, suit or proceeding at law or in equity with respect to  
this Indenture, or for the execution of any trust hereunder or for the          
appointment of a receiver or for any other remedy hereunder, in each case with  
respect to an Event of Default with respect to such series of Debt Securities,  
unless (1) such Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee written       
notice of the occurrence of one or more Events of Default with respect to such  
series of Debt Securities; (2) the Holders of 25%

in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of such series 
shall have requested the Trustee in writing to take action in respect of the    
matter complained of; and (3) unless such Holder or Holders have offered to the 
Trustee security and indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses   
and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby and the Trustee, for 60 days  
after receipt of such notification, request and offer of indemnity, shall have  
neglected or refused to institute any such action, suit or proceeding, and such 
notification, request and offer of indemnity are hereby declared in every such  
case to be conditions precedent to any such action, suit or proceeding by any   
Holder of any Debt Security of such series, it being understood and intended    
that no one or more of such Holders shall have any right in any manner          
whatsoever by his or their action to enforce any right hereunder, except in the 
manner herein provided, and that every action, suit or proceeding at law or in  
equity shall be instituted, had and maintained in the manner herein provided    
and for the equal benefit of all Holders of the Outstanding Debt Securities of  
such series; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Indenture or in  
the Debt Securities of such series shall affect or impair the obligation of the 
Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of (and      
premium, if any) and (subject to Section 3.07) interest on the Debt Securities  
of such series to the respective Holders of such Debt Securities at the Stated  
Maturity or Maturities expressed in such Debt Securities, or affect or impair   
the right, which is also absolute and unconditional, of such Holders to         
institute suit to enforce any such payment.                                     

Section 6.08. Assessment of Costs and Attorneys' Fees in Legal
Proceedings. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Debt   
Security by his acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any     
court may in its discretion require, in any action, suit or proceeding for the  
enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any action, suit 
or proceeding against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as      
Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such action, suit or proceeding of 
an undertaking to pay the costs of such action, suit or proceeding, and that    
such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable  
attorneys' fees and expenses, against any party litigant in such action, suit   
or proceeding, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or  
defenses made by such party litigant; provided, however, that the provisions of 
this Section 6.08 shall not apply to any action, suit or proceeding instituted  
by the Trustee, to any action, suit or proceeding instituted by any one or more 
Holders holding in the aggregate more than 10% in principal amount of the       
Outstanding Debt Securities of any series, or to any action, suit or proceeding 
instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of 
(or premium, if any) or interest on any of the Debt Securities of such series,  
on or after the respective Stated Maturity or Maturities expressed in such Debt 
Securities (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date).    

  Section 6.09. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. No right or remedy
herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended  
to

and every right and remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to      
every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at    
law or in equity or by statute.                                                 

      No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder to exercise any
right or remedy accruing upon any default or Event of Default shall impair any  
such right or remedy or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such default   
or Event of Default or an acquiescence therein, and every right and remedy      
given by this Article 6 to the Trustee and to the Holders, respectively, may be 
exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by the      
Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be.                                  

       In case the Trustee or any Holder shall have proceeded to enforce any
right or remedy under this Indenture and the proceedings for the enforcement    
thereof shall have been discontinued or abandoned because of waiver or for any  
other reason or shall have been adjudicated adversely to the Trustee or to such 
Holder, then and in every such case the Company, the Trustee and the Holders    
shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions and      
rights hereunder, and thereafter all rights, remedies and powers of the Trustee 
and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceedings had been taken,    
except as to any matters so waived or adjudicated.                              

ARTICLE 7 
ACTIONS BY HOLDERS

    Section 7.01. Actions by Holders. Whenever in this Indenture it is

principal amount of Outstanding Debt Securities of any series may take any      
action (including the making of any demand or request, the giving of any        
notice, consent or waiver or the taking of any other action), such action may   
be taken by (a) a meeting of the Holders in accordance with Article Eight or    
(b) by any instrument or instruments of a substantially similar tenor executed  
and delivered by the requisite number of Holders in accordance with the

  The ownership of Debt Securities shall be proved by the Security
Register. The Trustee may accept such other proof or may require such           
additional proof of any other matter referred to in this Section 7.02 as it     
shall reasonably deem appropriate or necessary.                                 

Section 7.03. Determining Principal Amount of Outstanding Debt
Securities. In determining whether the Holders of the requisite principal       
amount of Outstanding Debt Securities have given any authorization, demand,     
direction, request, notice, waiver or consent or taken any other action under   
this Indenture, Debt Securities owned by the Company or any other obligor on    
the Debt Securities or any Affiliate of the Company or such other obligor shall 
be disregarded and deemed not to be Outstanding, except that for the purpose of 
determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such       
authorization, demand, direction, request, notice, waiver, consent or action,   
only Debt Securities which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee actually knows  
are so owned shall be disregarded. Debt Securities so owned which have been     
pledged in good faith may be regarded as Outstanding for the purposes of this   
Section 7.03 if the pledgee shall establish to the satisfaction of the Trustee  
the pledgee's right to vote such Debt Securities and that the pledgee is not    
the Company or any other obligor upon the Debt Securities or any Affiliate of   
the Company or such other obligor. In case of a dispute as to such right, any   
decision by the Trustee taken upon the advice of counsel shall be full          
protection to the Trustee.                                                      

      For purposes of determining the principal amount of Outstanding Debt
Securities of any series the Holders of which are required, requested or        
permitted to give any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,        
consent, waiver or take any other action under this Indenture, (i) each         
Original Issue Discount Security shall be deemed to have the principal amount   
determined by the Trustee that could be declared to be due and payable pursuant 
to the terms of such Original Issue Discount Security as of a date fixed by the 
Trustee and (ii) each Debt Security denominated in a Foreign Currency or        
composite currency shall be deemed to have the principal amount determined by   
the Trustee by translating the principal amount of such Debt Security in the    
currency in which such Debt Security is denominated into Dollars at the         
applicable Exchange Rate as of a date fixed by the Trustee.                     

      Upon receipt of instruments representing the Holders of a sufficient
amount of Debt Securities to take the action stated thereon, the Trustee shall  
promptly tabulate such instruments and deliver a report thereof to the Company. 

   Section 7.04. Revocation by Holders of Consents to Action. At any
time prior to (but not after) the evidencing, to the Trustee, as provided in    
Section 7.01, of the taking of any action by the Holders of the requisite       
proportion of Outstanding Debt Securities of any series, any Holder of a Debt   
Security that is

shown by the evidence to be included among the Debt Securities whose Holders    
consented to such action may, by filing written notice with the Trustee and     
upon proof of holding as provided in Section 7.02, revoke such action so far as 
concerns such Debt Security. Except as aforesaid, any such action taken by the  
Holder of any Debt Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder    
and upon all future Holders of the same Debt Security and the Holder of every   
Debt Security issued upon the transfer thereof or in exchange therefore or in   
lieu thereof, irrespective of whether or not any notation in regard thereto is  
made upon such Debt Security or any Debt Security issued in exchange or         
substitution therefore.

                (1) at least semiannually, within 10 days after each
     Regular Record Date with respect to such Debt Securities, a list in
  such form as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and
     addresses of the Holders of such Debt Securities, as of such Record

provided, however, that so long as the Trustee shall be the Security Registrar,

       (b) Trustee to Preserve Information. The Trustee will preserve, in as

and addresses of Holders so furnished or caused to be furnished to it by the    
Company or received by it in its capacity as Paying Agent or Security

   (c) Trustee to Furnish Certain Information to Holders on Request.
Within five Business Days after receipt by the Trustee of a written application 
by any three or more Holders (hereinafter referred to as the "applicants")      
stating that such applicants desire to communicate with other Holders with      
respect to their rights under this Indenture or under the Debt Securities, and  
accompanied by a copy of the form of proxy or other communication which such    
applicants propose to transmit, and by reasonable proof that each such          
applicant has owned a Debt Security for a period of at least six months         
preceding the date of such application, the Trustee shall, at its election,     
either                                                                          

                   (1) afford to such applicants access to all information
      furnished to, or received by, and preserved by, the Trustee pursuant
to the provisions of this Section 9.03; or

                   (2) inform such applicants as to the approximate number
      of Holders according to the most recent information so furnished to,
or received by, and preserved by, the Trustee, and as to the  
        approximate cost of mailing to such Holders the form of proxy or other
communication, if any, specified in such application.         

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

        Each and every Holder of a Debt Security, by receiving and holding the
same, agrees with the Company and the Trustee that none of the Company, the     
Trustee or any agent of either of them shall be held accountable by reason of   
the disclosure of any such information as to the names and addresses of the     
Holders in accordance with the provisions of this Subsection (c), regardless of 
the source from which such information was derived, and that the Trustee shall  
not be held accountable by reason of mailing any material pursuant to a request 
made under this Subsection (c).

     (a) Trustee Entitled to Compensation and Expenses; Indemnification.
The Trustee shall be entitled to such compensation as is agreed upon in writing 
for all services rendered by it hereunder (which compensation shall not be      
limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of   
an express trust), and the Company agrees to pay such compensation, and all     
other reasonable expenses (including the fees and expenses of Trustee's         
counsel), disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee hereunder, 
promptly on demand from time to time as such services shall be rendered and as  
such expenses shall be incurred. The Company also agrees to indemnify each of   
the Trustee and any predecessor trustee hereunder for, and to hold it or them   
harmless against, any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense incurred        
without its or their own negligence or bad faith, arising out of or in          
connection with the acceptance or administration of the trust or trusts         
hereunder and the performance of its or their duties, as well as the costs and  
expenses of defending itself or themselves against any claim (whether asserted  
by the Company, a Holder or any other Person) or liability in connection with   
the exercise or performance of any of its or their powers or duties hereunder.  
As security for the performance of the obligations of the Company under this    
Subsection (a), the Trustee shall have a lien therefor on any moneys held by    
the Trustee hereunder prior to any rights therein of the Holders. When the      
Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in connection with an Event of      
Default specified in Section 6.01(e) or Section 6.01(f), the expenses           
(including the reasonable charges and expenses of its counsel) and the          
compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of            
administration under any applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency or  
other similar law. Notwithstanding any provisions of this Indenture to the      
contrary, the obligations of the Company to indemnify the Trustee under this    
Section 10.01(a) shall survive any satisfaction and discharge under Article 11, 
the termination of this Indenture or the resignation or removal of the Trustee. 

      (b) Trustee May Act by Agents and Attorneys. The Trustee may execute
any of the trusts or powers hereof and perform any duty hereunder either

     (c) Trustee Not Responsible for Recitals of Fact. The Trustee shall
not be responsible in any manner whatsoever for the correctness of the recitals 
contained herein or in the Debt Securities (except its certificates of          
authentication thereon), all of which are made by the Company solely; and the   
Trustee shall not be responsible or accountable in any manner whatsoever for or 
with respect to the validity or execution or sufficiency of this Indenture or   
of the Debt Securities (except its certificates of authentication thereon), and 
the Trustee makes no representation with respect thereto. The Trustee shall not 
be accountable for the use or application by the Company of any Debt            
Securities, or the proceeds of any Debt Securities, authenticated and delivered 
by the Trustee in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture.

advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete     
authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered to be   
taken by the Trustee hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such advice

Secretary or one of the Assistant Secretaries of the Company as to the adoption 
of any resolution by the Board of Directors or stockholders of the Company, and 
any request, direction, order or demand of the Company mentioned herein shall   
be sufficiently evidenced by, and whenever in the administration of this        
Indenture the Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or        
established prior to taking, offering or omitting any action hereunder, the     
Trustee may conclusively rely upon, an Officers' Certificate (unless other      
evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed).                 

 (f) Trustee May Become Owner or Pledgee of Debt Securities. The
Trustee or any agent of the Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity,   
may become the owner or pledgee of Debt Securities and, subject to Sections

        (g) Segregation of Funds. Money held by the Trustee in trust hereunder

it hereunder except as otherwise agreed in writing with the Company.            

      (h) Action at Request of or with Consent of Holder Binding on Future
Holders. Any action taken by the Trustee pursuant to any provision hereof at

any Debt Security shall be conclusive and binding in respect of any such Debt   
Security upon all future Holders thereof or of any Debt Security or Securities  
that may be issued for or in lieu thereof in whole or in part, whether or not   
such Debt Security shall have noted thereon the fact that such request or       
consent had been made or given.                                                 

   (i) Trustee May Rely on Instruments Believed by It to Be Genuine.

original or facsimile form) believed by it to be genuine and to have been       
signed or presented by the proper party or parties.

under any obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by    
this Indenture at the request, order or direction of any Holders, pursuant to   
any provision of this Indenture, unless one or more Holders shall have offered  
to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs,      
expenses and liabilities that may be incurred by it therein or thereby.         

   (k) Trustee Not Liable for Action Taken or Omitted in Good Faith.
Subject to the provisions of Section 10.02, the Trustee shall not be liable for 
any action taken or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to be        
authorized or within its discretion or within the rights or powers conferred    
upon it by this Indenture.                                                      

        (l) Trustee Not Bound to Make Investigation. Subject to the provisions

any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution,           
certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent,  
order, approval, bond, debenture or other paper or document.                    

     (m) Trustee Not Deemed to Have Knowledge of Default. Subject to the
provisions of Section 10.02, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge  
or notice of any default or Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of    
the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless the Holders of not less than 
25% of the Outstanding Debt Securities of any series notify the Trustee in      
writing thereof.                                                                

     Section 10.02. Duties of Trustee in Case of Default. If one or more
Events of Default with respect to the Debt Securities of any series shall have  
happened, then, during the continuance thereof, the Trustee shall, with respect 
to the Debt Securities of such series, exercise such of the rights and powers   
vested in it by this Indenture, and shall use the same degree of care and skill 
in their exercise, as a prudent man would exercise or use under the             
circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs.                                

None of the provisions of this Indenture shall be construed as
relieving the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own      
negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that, anything  
contained in this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding:                    

      (a) When No Default Subsisting. Unless and until an Event of Default
with respect to the Debt Securities of any series shall have happened, which at 
the time is continuing,                                                         

                 (1) the Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and
        only such duties with respect to the Debt Securities of that series as
         are specifically set out in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or

    obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee,
        whose duties and obligations shall be determined solely by the express
provisions of this Indenture; and                             

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

    (b) Trustee Not Liable for Error of Judgment Made in Good Faith by
Responsible Officer. The Trustee shall not be liable to any Holder or to any    
other Person for error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer  
or Officers of the Trustee, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was      
negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and                              

     (c) Trustee Not Liable for Certain Action or NonAction at Direction
of Holders of Majority of Debt Securities. The Trustee shall not be liable to   
any Holder or to any other Person with respect to any action taken or omitted   
to be taken by it in good faith, in accordance with the direction of Holders    
given as provided in Section 6.06, relating to the time, method and place of    
conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to it or exercising any      
trust or power conferred upon it by this Indenture.                             

None of the provisions of this Indenture shall be construed as
requiring the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise to incur any 
personal financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder  
or in the exercise of any of its right or remedies, if adequate indemnity       
against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.                 

        Section 10.03. Notice to Holders of Defaults. Within 90 days after the
occurrence thereof, the Trustee shall give to the Holders of the Debt           
Securities of a series, as provided in Section 9.01(c), notice of each default  
with respect to the Debt Securities of such series known to the Trustee, unless 
such default shall have been cured before the giving of such notice (the term   
"default" for the purposes of this Section 10.03 being hereby defined to be the 
events specified in Section 6.01, which are, or after notice or lapse of time   
or both would become, Events of Default as defined in said Section); but,       
unless such default be the failure to pay the principal of (or premium, if any) 
or interest on any of the Debt Securities of such series when and as the same   
shall become due and payable, or to make any sinking fund payment as to Debt    
Securities of the same series, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding    
such notice, if and so long as the board of directors, the executive committee  
or a trust committee of directors or Responsible Officers of

the Trustee in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in  
the interests of the Holders of the Debt Securities of such series.             

       Section 10.04. Resignation and Removal of Trustee and Notice Thereof.
The Trustee, or any successor to it hereafter appointed, may at any time resign 
and be discharged of the trusts hereby created with respect to any one or more  
or all series of Debt Securities by giving to the Company notice in writing and 
by mailing notice thereof to the Holders of the Debt Securities of such series  
at their addresses as the same shall then appear in the Security Register. Such 
resignation shall take effect upon the appointment of a successor Trustee by    
the Company and the acceptance of such appointment by such successor Trustee.   
Any Trustee hereunder may be removed with respect to any series of Debt         
Securities at any time by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal      
amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of such series, acting pursuant to    
the provisions of Article 7 or Article 8.                                       

       Upon its resignation or removal, any Trustee shall be entitled to the
payment of reasonable compensation for the services rendered hereunder by such  
Trustee and to the payment of all reasonable expenses incurred hereunder and    
all moneys then due to it hereunder. The Trustee's rights to indemnification    
provided in Section 10.01(a) shall survive its resignation or removal.          

    Section 10.05. Qualifications of Trustee. There shall at all times
be a Trustee under this Indenture, and such Trustee shall at all times be a     
corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States or 
of any State, which is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust   
powers and is subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State         
authority and which has a combined capital and surplus of not less than         
$10,000,000. For the purposes of this Section 10.05, the combined capital and   
surplus of any such Trustee shall be deemed to be the combined capital and      
surplus as set forth in the most recent report of its condition published by    
such Trustee; provided that such reports are published at least annually,       
pursuant to law or to the requirements of a Federal or State supervising or     
examining authority. If such Trustee or any successor shall at any time cease   
to have the qualifications prescribed in this Section 10.05, it shall promptly  
resign as Trustee hereunder.                                                    

     Section 10.06. Disqualification Of Trustee By Reason Of Conflicting
Interest. If the Trustee has or shall acquire a conflicting interest within the 
meaning of the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee shall either eliminate such     
interest or resign, to the extent and in the manner provided by, and subject to 
the provisions of, the Trust Indenture Act and this Indenture.                  

      Section 10.07. Appointment of Successor Trustee. In case at any time
the Trustee shall resign, or shall be removed (unless the Trustee shall be      
removed as provided in Subsection (c) of Section 10.06, in which event the      
vacancy shall be filled as provided in said Subsection), or shall become        
incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or if a      
receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or if any public 
officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its

property of affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or          
liquidation with respect to the Debt Securities of one or more series, a        
successor Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of that or those series   
(it being understood that any such successor Trustee may be appointed with      
respect to the Debt 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 Debt Securities of 
any series) may be appointed by the Holders of a majority in aggregate          
principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of that or those series, by 
an instrument or instruments in writing signed in duplicate by such Holders and 
filed, one original thereof with the Company and the other with the successor   
Trustee; but, until a successor Trustee shall have been so appointed by the     
Holders of Debt Securities of that or those series as herein authorized, the    
Company by Board Resolution, or, in case all or substantially all the assets of 
the Company shall be in the possession of one or more custodians or receivers   
lawfully appointed, or of trustees in bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings  
(including a trustee or trustees appointed under the provisions of the Federal  
bankruptcy laws, as now or hereafter constituted), or of assignees for the      
benefit of creditors, such receivers, custodians, trustees or assignees, as the 
case may be, by an instrument in writing, shall appoint a successor Trustee     
with respect to the Debt Securities of such series. Subject to the provisions   
of Section 10.04, 10.05 and 10.06, upon the appointment as aforesaid of a       
successor Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of any series, the        
Trustee with respect of the Debt Securities of such series shall cease to be    
Trustee hereunder. After any such appointment (other than by the Holders of     
Debt Securities of that or those series) the person making such appointment     
shall forthwith cause notice thereof to be mailed to the Holders of Debt        
Securities of such series at their addresses as the same shall then appear on   
the Security Register; but any successor Trustee with respect to the Debt       
Securities of such series so appointed shall immediately and without further    
act, be superseded by a successor Trustee appointed by the Holders of Debt      
Securities of such series in the manner above prescribed, if such appointment   
be made prior to the expiration of one year from the date of the mailing of     
such notice by the Company, or by such receivers, trustees or assignees.        

   If any Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of one or more
series shall resign because of conflict of interest as provided in Section      
10.06(a) and a successor Trustee shall not have been appointed by the Company   
or by the Holders of the Debt Securities of such series or, if any successor    
Trustee so appointed shall not have accepted its appointment within 30 days     
after such appointment shall have been made, the resigning Trustee may apply at 
the expense of the Company to any court of competent jurisdiction for the       
appointment of a successor Trustee. If in any other case a successor Trustee    
shall not be appointed pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section     
10.07 within three months after such appointment might have been made           
hereunder, the Holder of any Debt Security of the applicable series or any      
retiring Trustee may, at the expense of the Company, apply to any court of      
competent jurisdiction to appoint a

successor Trustee. Such court may thereupon, in any such case, after such       
notice, if any, as such court may deem proper, appoint a successor Trustee.     

    Any successor Trustee appointed hereunder with respect to the Debt
Securities of one or more series shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to its  
predecessor Trustee and to the Company, or to the receivers, trustees,          
assignees or court appointing it, as the case may be, an instrument accepting   
such appointment hereunder, and thereupon such successor Trustee, without any   
further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the authority,    
rights, powers, trusts, immunities, duties and obligations with respect to such 
series of such predecessor Trustee with like effect as if originally named as   
Trustee hereunder, and such predecessor Trustee, upon payment of its charges    
and disbursements then unpaid, shall thereupon become obligated to pay over,    
and such successor Trustee shall be entitled to receive, all moneys and         
properties held by such predecessor Trustee as Trustee hereunder. Nevertheless, 
on the written request of the Company or of the successor Trustee or of the     
Holders of at least 10% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Debt   
Securities of such series, such predecessor Trustee, upon payment of its said   
charges and disbursements, shall execute and deliver an instrument transferring 
to such successor Trustee upon the trusts herein expressed all the rights,      
powers and trusts of such predecessor Trustee and shall assign, transfer and    
deliver to the successor Trustee all moneys and properties held by such         
predecessor Trustee; and, upon request of any such successor Trustee, the       
Company shall make, execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all instruments in 
writing for more fully and effectually vesting in and confirming to such        
successor Trustee all such authority, rights, powers, trusts, immunities,       
duties and obligations.                                                         

  Section 10.08. Merger, Conversion or Consolidation of Trustee or
Transfer of Its Corporate Trust Business; Authentication of Debt Securities by  
Successor Trustee. Any corporation into which the Trustee or any successor to   
it in the trusts created by this Indenture shall be merged or converted, or any 
corporation with which it or any successor to it shall be consolidated, or any  
corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the 
Trustee or any such successor to it shall be a party, or any corporation to     
which the Trustee or any successor to it shall sell or otherwise transfer all   
or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be   
the successor Trustee under this Indenture without the execution or filing of   
any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case  
at the time such successor to the Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created   
by this Indenture with respect to one or more series of Debt Securities, any of 
such Debt Securities shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such  
successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any     
predecessor Trustee, and deliver such Debt Securities so authenticated; and in  
case at that time any of the Debt Securities shall not have been authenticated, 
any successor to the Trustee may authenticate such Debt Securities either in    
the name of any predecessor Trustee hereunder or in the name of the successor   
Trustee; and in all such cases such

     Section 10.09. Trustee Required to Account for Amounts Collected As

Securities), the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of the Trust        
Indenture Act regarding the collection of claims against the Company (or any    
such other obligor).                                                            

      Section 10.10. Trustee May Rely on Officers' Certificate. Subject to
Section 10.02, and subject to the provisions of Section 14.03 with respect to   
the certificates required thereby, whenever in the administration of the        
provisions of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it necessary or desirable   
that a matter be proved or established prior to taking or suffering any action  
hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein      
specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of negligence or bad faith on the  
part of the Trustee, be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by an  
Officers' Certificate with respect thereto delivered to the Trustee, and such   
Officers' Certificate, in the absence of negligence or bad faith on the part of 
the Trustee, shall be full warrant to the Trustee for any action taken,         
suffered to be taken or omitted by it under the provisions of this Indenture    
upon the faith thereof.

   Section 11.04. Termination of Certain Obligations Upon Deposit of
Moneys. If this Section 11.04 is specified in the manner contemplated by        
Section 3.01 to be applicable to Debt Securities of any series, the Company's

terminated on the 91st day after the Company deposits with the Trustee, in      
trust for the benefit of the Holders thereof, (a) funds sufficient to pay, or   
(b) such amount of Government Obligations as will or will together with the     
income thereon, without consideration of any reinvestment thereof, be           
sufficient, in the opinion of a firm of independent certified public            
accountants, to pay the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on all  
of the Debt Securities of such series, as such payments shall become become due

on the Debt Securities of such series if not paid (or considered paid) when due 
from the funds and Government Obligations (and the income thereon) so           
deposited. Notwithstanding the termination of any obligations of the Company in 
accordance with this Section 1104, the Company's rights and obligations under   
Sections 3.05, 3.06, 5.01, 5.02, 5.03, 9.03, 10.01, 10.04, 11.05 and 11.06, and 
provisions, if any, applicable to such series relating to optional redemption   
and Mandatory and Optional Sinking Fund Payments, shall survive until the Debt  
Securities of such series are no longer Outstanding. Thereafter the Company's   
rights and obligations under Sections 10.01, 11.05 and 11.06 shall survive such 
satisfaction and discharge.                                                     

    After a deposit as provided herein, the Trustee, upon receipt of a
Company Request, shall acknowledge in writing the discharge of the Company's    
obligations under this Indenture with respect to Debt Securities of a           
particular series except for `those surviving obligations specified above. The  
Trustee shall apply the amounts so deposited and the proceeds thereof to the

satisfactory to the Trustee. If any Outstanding Debt Securities of a series are 
to be redeemed prior to their Stated Maturity, whether pursuant to any optional 
redemption provisions or in accordance with any Mandatory or Optional Sinking   
Fund Payments, the applicable escrow trust agreement shall provide therefore,   
and the Company shall make such arrangements as are satisfactory to the Trustee 
for the

giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the           
expense, of the Company. The agreement shall provide that, upon satisfaction of 
any Mandatory Sinking Fund Payments, whether by deposit of funds, application   
of proceeds of deposited Government Obligations or, if permitted, by delivery   
of Debt Securities, the Trustee shall pay or deliver over to the Company as     
excess funds pursuant to Section 11.06 all funds or obligations then held under 
the agreement and allocable to the Mandatory Sinking Fund Payments so           
satisfied.                                                                      

        If Debt Securities of a series with respect to which such deposits are
made may be subject to later redemption at the option of the Company or         
pursuant to Optional Sinking Fund Payments, the applicable escrow trust         
agreement may, at the option of the Company, provide therefore. In the case of  
an optional redemption in whole or in part, such agreement shall require the    
Company to deposit with the Trustee on or before the date on which notice of    
redemption is given funds sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of the Debt    
Securities to be redeemed together with all unpaid interest thereon to the      
Redemption Date. Upon such deposit of funds, the Trustee shall pay or deliver   
over to the Company as excess funds pursuant to Section 11.06 all funds or      
obligations then held under such agreement and allocable to the Debt Securities 
to be redeemed. In the case of exercise of Optional Sinking Fund Payment rights 
by the Company, such agreement may, at the option of the Company, provide that  
upon deposit by the Company with the Trustee of funds pursuant to such exercise 
the Trustee shall pay or deliver over to the Company as excess funds pursuant   
to Section 11.06 all funds or obligations then held under such agreement for    
such series and allocable to the Debt Securities to be redeemed.                

       Section 11.06. Repayment To Company. The Trustee and any Paying Agent
shall promptly pay or return to the Company upon Company Request any money or   
Government Obligations held by them at any time that are not required for the   
payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Debt      
Securities of any series for which money or Government Obligations have been    
deposited, including any such money or Government Obligations held by the       
Trustee under any escrow trust agreement entered into pursuant to Section       
11.05.                                                                          

     The provisions of the last paragraph of Section 5.03 shall apply to
any money held by the Trustee or any Paying Agent under this Article that       
remains unclaimed for two years after the Maturity of any series of Debt        
Securities for which money or Government Obligations have been deposited        
pursuant to Article Eleven.                                                     

     Section 11.07. Reinstatement. If the Trustee or any Paying Agent is
unable to apply any money and/or Government Obligations deposited in trust in   
accordance with Section 11.03 or 11.04 by reason of any legal proceeding or by  
reason of any order or judgment of any court or Governmental Authority          
enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application (including any 
such order or judgment requiring the payment of such money and/or Government    
Obligations to the Company), the Company's obligations under this Indenture and

time as the Trustee or such Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money   
and/or Government Obligations in accordance with Section 11.03 or 11.04, as the 
case may be; provided, however, that if the Company has made any payment of the 
principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Debt Securities because of 
the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be entitled to receive  
the aggregate amount of such payments from the Trustee or such Paying Agent as  
excess funds pursuant to Section 11.06. In the event that for any reason the    
Trustee or such Paying Agent is unable to pay any such amount pursuant to       
Section 11.06, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of  
such Debt Securities to receive such payments from the money and/or Government  
Obligations held by the Trustee or such Paying Agent pursuant to Section 11.05. 

  Section 11.08. Indemnity for Government Obligations. The Company
shall pay and shall indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge

Certificate or established in the supplemental indenture under which the Debt   
Securities of such series are issued.                                           

ARTICLE 12  
IMMUNITY OF INCORPORATORS, STOCKHOLDERS, OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS 

       Section 12.01. Liability Solely Corporate. No recourse shall be had
for the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any     
Debt Security or for any claim based thereon or otherwise in respect thereof or 
of the indebtedness represented thereby, or upon any obligation, covenant or

      Upon any consolidation or merger, or any sale other than for cash or
lease of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company in accordance    
with the provisions of Section 5.05, the corporation formed by such             
consolidation or into which the Company shall have been merged or to which such 
sale or lease shall have been made shall succeed to and be substituted for the  
Company with the same effect as if it had been named herein as a party hereto,  
and thereafter from time to time such corporation may exercise each and every   
right and power of the Company under this Indenture, in the name of the Company 
or in its own name; and any act or proceeding by any provision of this          
Indenture required or permitted to be done by the Board of Directors or any     
officer of the Company may be done with like force and effect by the like board 
or officer of any corporation that shall at the time be the successor of the    
Company hereunder. In the event of any such sale or conveyance, but not any     
such lease, the Company (or any successor corporation which shall theretofore   
have become such in the manner described in Section 5.05) shall be discharged   
from all obligations and covenants under the Indenture and the Debt Securities  
and may thereupon be dissolved and liquidated.                                  

    Section 14.02. Benefits of Indenture. Nothing in this Indenture or
in the Debt Securities, express or implied, is intended, or shall be construed, 
to confer upon, or to give to, any Person other than the parties hereto and     
their successors and the Holders of Debt Securities any right, remedy or claim  
under or by reason of this Indenture or any covenant, condition, stipulation,   
promise or agreement hereof or herein, and all covenants, conditions,           
stipulations, promises and agreements hereof and herein shall be for the sole   
and exclusive benefit of the parties hereto and their successors and of the     
Holders of the Debt Securities.                                                 

  Section 14.03. Evidence of Compliance with Conditions Precedent;
Form of Documents Delivered to Trustee. As evidence of compliance with the      
conditions precedent provided for in this Indenture (including any covenants,   
compliance with which constitutes a condition precedent) which relate to the    
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or to any other action to be taken 
by the Trustee upon Company Order or Request, the Company will furnish to the   
Trustee an Officers' Certificate, stating that such conditions precedent have   
been complied with, and an Opinion of Counsel stating that, in the opinion of   
such counsel, such conditions precedent have been complied with.                

Each certificate or opinion with respect to compliance with a 
condition or covenant provided for in this Indenture shall include (1) a        
statement that each individual making such certificate or opinion has read such 
condition or covenant; (2) a brief statement as to the nature and scope of the  
examination or investigation upon which the statements or opinions contained in 
such certificate or opinion are based; (3) a statement that, in the opinion of  
each such individual, he has made such examination or investigation as is       
necessary to enable him to express an informed opinion as to whether or not     
such condition or covenant has been complied with; and (4) a statement as to    
whether or not, in the opinion of each such individual, such condition or       
covenant has been complied with.

       In any case where several matters are required to be certified by, or
covered by an opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all    
such matters be certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such       
Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but one   
such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one 
or more other such Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify 
or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents.              

       Any certificate or opinion of an officer of the Company may be based,
insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or    
representations by, counsel, unless such officer knows that the certificate or  
opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which his           
certificate or opinion is based are erroneous. Any such certificate or Opinion  
of Counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a       
certificate or opinion of, or representations by, an officer or officers of the 
Company stating that the information with respect to such factual matters is in 
the possession of the Company unless such officer or counsel knows that the     
certificate or opinion or representations with respect to such matters are      
erroneous.                                                                      

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

 Notwithstanding any provision of this Indenture authorizing the
Trustee conclusively to rely upon any certificates or opinions, the Trustee     
before granting any application by the Company or taking or refraining from     
taking any other action in reliance thereon, may require any further evidence   
or make any further investigation as to the facts or matters stated therein     
which it may, in good faith, deem reasonable in the circumstances, and in       
connection therewith the Trustee may examine or cause to be examined the        
pertinent books, records and premises of the Company or of any Subsidiary; and  
the Trustee shall, in any such case, require such further evidence or make.     
such further investigation as may be requested by the Holders of a majority in  
principal amount of the Debt Securities then Outstanding; provided that, if     
payment to the Trustee of the costs, expenses and liabilities likely to be      
incurred by it in making such investigation is not reasonably assured to the    
Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms of this Indenture, the      
Trustee before making such investigation may require reasonable indemnity       
against such costs, expenses or liabilities. Any further evidence that may be   
requested by the Trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this paragraph    
shall be furnished by the Company at its own expense, and any cost, expenses    
and liabilities incurred by the Trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of    
this paragraph shall be paid by the Company, or, if paid by the Trustee, shall  
be repaid by the Company, upon demand, with interest at the lowest rate borne   
by the Debt Securities of any series, but in no event less than 5%, and, until  
such repayment, shall be secured by a lien on any moneys held by the Trustee    
hereunder prior to any rights therein of the Holders of Debt Securities.

    Section 14.04. Conflict with Trust Indenture Act. If any provision
of this Indenture limits, qualifies or conflicts with another provision         
included in this Indenture which is required to be included in this Indenture   
by any of the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act, such required provision    
shall control.                                                                  

    Section 14.05. Notices, etc., to Trustee and Company. Any request,
demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or action of Holders  
or other document provided or permitted by this Indenture to be made upon,      
given or furnished to, or filed with,                                           

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

                    (2) the Company by the Trustee or by any Holder shall be
 sufficient for every purpose hereunder (unless otherwise herein
   expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage
 prepaid, to the Company addressed to it at Two Limited Parkway,
     Columbus, Ohio 43216, attention: Chief Financial Officer, or at any
     other address previously furnished in writing to the Trustee by the
 Company. Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
    consent or waiver addressed as provided in this subsection (2) and
  given by firstclass mail, postage prepaid, shall be conclusively
presumed given when mailed.                                   

Section 14.06. Notice to Holders; Waiver. Where this Indenture
provides for notice to Holders of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently  
given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed,    
first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder affected by such event, at his      
address as it appears in the Security Register, not later than the latest date, 
and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such       
notice. In any case where notice to Holders is given by mail, neither the       
failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any     
particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to   
other Holders. Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such     
notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice.  
Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing   
shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in       
reliance upon such waiver.                                                      

   If, in the event of suspension of regular mail service or for any
other reason, 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.                          

       Section 14.07. Effect of Headings and Table of Contents. The Article,
Section and Subsection headings herein and the Table of Contents are for        
convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.

     Section 14.08. Successors and Assigns. All covenants and agreements
in this Indenture by the Company shall bind its successors and assigns, whether 
so expressed or not.                                                            

   Section 14.09. Separability Clause. In case any provision in this

(notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or of the Debt

 Section 14.12. Execution in Counterparts. This Indenture may be
executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be 
deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute

Re: Notes due ..... of Limited Brands, Inc. (the "Securities")          

        Reference is made to the Indenture, dated as of February 19, 2003 (the
"Indenture"), between Limited Brands, Inc. (the "Company") and The Bank of New  
York, as Trustee. Terms used herein and defined in the Indenture or in          
Regulation S or Rule 144 under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the 
"Securities Act") are used herein as so defined.                                

    This certificate relates to U.S. $____________ principal amount of
Securities, which are evidenced by the following certificate(s) (the "Specified 
Securities"):

Specified Securities or (ii) it is acting on behalf of all the beneficial       
owners of the Specified Securities and is duly authorized by them to do so.     
Such beneficial owner or owners are referred to herein collectively as the

      The Owner has requested that the Specified Securities be transferred
to a person (the "Transferee") who will take delivery in the form of a          
Regulation S

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

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

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

          (E) if the Owner is a dealer in securities or has received a

satisfied; and
