________________________

     (1) No shares of the Company's Preferred Stock were outstanding during the
periods presented; therefore, the consolidated ratio of earnings to combined
fixed charges and preferred stock dividends for such periods were the same as
the consolidated ratio of earnings to fixed charges.

     (2) "Fixed charges" represent interest expense, capitalized interest and
the portion of rental expense representing the interest factor for continuing
operations. "Earnings" represent the aggregate of income from continuing
operations before extraordinary items (excluding undistributed earnings of
unconsolidated entities), income taxes, net adjustments for capitalized
interest and fixed charges deducted from earnings.

USE OF PROCEEDS

The net proceeds from the sale of the Securities offered by the Company will be added to the working capital of the Company and will be used for general corporate purposes, which may include the repayment of short-term and/or long-term indebtedness, the financing of a portion of the Company's capital expenditure programs, the acquisition of operating companies and the repurchase of shares of the Company's Common Stock. Pending the utilization of the proceeds, the Company may invest all or part of such proceeds in short-term government securities or money market instruments. The Company will not receive any proceeds from the sale of any shares of Common Stock offered by the Selling Shareholders.

The Company may engage in further public or private financings of a character and amount to be determined to provide additional funds which may be required for any of the purposes discussed above.

DESCRIPTION OF THE DEBT SECURITIES

Senior Debt Securities may be issued from time to time in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of May 1, 1985, as amended by the First Supplemental Indenture (as so amended, the "Senior Indenture"), to be entered into by the Company and Chemical Bank, as Trustee (the "Senior Trustee"). Subordinated Debt Securities may be issued from time to time in one or more series under an indenture (the "Subordinated Indenture") to be entered into between the Company and Chemical Bank, as Trustee (the "Subordinated Trustee"). The Senior Indenture and the Subordinated Indenture are sometimes referred to collectively as the "Indentures," and the Senior Trustee and the Subordinated Trustee are sometimes referred to collectively as the "Trustees." As used under this caption, unless the context otherwise requires, "debt securities" in lower case shall mean all debt securities issued or issuable, as the case may be, under the respective Indentures, and "Debt Securities" with initial capital letters shall mean the Debt Securities covered by this Prospectus and any Prospectus Supplement. The statements under this caption are brief summaries of certain provisions contained in the Indentures, do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Indentures, including the definition therein of certain terms, copies of which are filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement, as amended, of which this Prospectus is a part.

Whenever particular provisions or defined terms in the Indentures are referred to therein, such provisions or defined terms are incorporated by reference herein. Section and Article references used herein are references to provisions of both the Senior Indenture and Subordinated Indenture unless otherwise noted.

General

Each Indenture provides for the issuance of debt securities in one or more series, and does not limit the principal amount of debt securities that may be issued thereunder.

Reference is made to the Prospectus Supplement for the following terms of the Debt Securities being offered hereby: (1) the specific title of the Debt Securities; (2) whether the Debt Securities are Senior Debt Securities or Subordinated Debt Securities; (3) the aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities;
(4) the denominations in which the Debt Securities are authorized to be issued; (5) the date or dates on which the Debt Securities will mature; (6) the rate or rates per annum or the method for determining such rate or rates, if any, at which the Debt Securities will bear interest; (7) the times at which any such interest will be payable; (8) the place or places at which the Company will make payments of principal (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, and the method of such payment; (9) the foreign currency or units of two or more of such foreign currencies in which the Debt Securities are denominated, if other than United States dollars, and the currency in which interest is payable if other than the currency in which the Debt Securities are denominated; (10) any provisions relating to optional or mandatory redemption of the Debt Securities; (11) any sinking fund provisions;
(12) the ability of the Company to discharge or defease its obligations with respect to the Debt Securities by depositing cash funds or Government Obligations or U.S. Government Securities (each as hereinafter defined) with the Trustee; (13) the initial public offering price of the Debt Securities;
(14) whether the Debt Securities will be issued in whole or in part in the form of one or more global Debt Securities and, in such case, the depository for such Debt Security or Debt Securities; (15) the person to whom any interest on a Debt Security of such series will be payable, if other than the person in whose name that Debt Security is registered at the close of business on the regular record date for such interest;
(16) the extent to which, or the manner in which, any interest payable on a global Debt Security on an interest payment date will be paid; (17) with respect to the Subordinated Debt Securities only, whether such Securities will be convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock or any other shares of the capital stock or securities of the Company and, if so, the terms and conditions upon which such conversion will be effected including the initial conversion price or rate and the conversion period; (18) any additional covenants and Events of Default and the remedies with respect thereto not currently set forth in the respective Indenture; and (19) any other specific terms of the Debt Securities.

If the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on Debt Securities of any series are payable in a foreign or composite currency, or if any index or formula is used to determine the amount of payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any series of Debt Securities, any specific federal income tax, accounting and other considerations applicable thereto will be described in the Prospectus Supplement relating to that series.

One or more series of Debt Securities may be sold at a substantial discount below its or their stated principal amount, bearing no interest or interest at a rate that at the time of issuance is below market rate. Federal income tax consequences and other special considerations applicable to any such series will be described in the Prospectus Supplement relating thereto.

Subordinated Debt Securities

Subordination. The obligations of the Company pursuant to the Subordinated Debt Securities will be subordinate in right of payment, to the extent set forth in the Subordinated Indenture, to all Senior Indebtedness of the Company. (Subordinated Indenture Article XIV). Upon the maturity of principal of any Senior Indebtedness by lapse of time, acceleration or otherwise, no payments, including sinking fund payments, may be made on the Subordinated Debt Securities and no Subordinated Debt Securities may be acquired until all principal of and premium, if any, and interest on all such matured Senior Indebtedness shall have been paid in full. (Subordinated Indenture Section 1403). "Senior Indebtedness" of the Company is defined to mean the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the indebtedness (other than the Subordinated Debt Securities) of the Company, whether outstanding on the date of the Subordinated Indenture or thereafter created, incurred, assumed or guaranteed to others,
(a) for money borrowed from or guaranteed to others,
(b) under promissory notes or debentures, bonds or other instruments of indebtedness issued under the provisions of or pursuant to an indenture, agreement, or similar instrument, or (c) for the payment of money relating to the lease of any property, which lease may be capitalized on the consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its Subsidiaries in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles as in effect from time to time and, in each such case, all renewals, extensions, refundings, amendments or modifications thereof; unless, in each case, by the terms of the instrument creating or evidencing the indebtedness it is provided that such indebtedness is not superior in right of payment to the Subordinated Debt Securities. (Subordinated Indenture Section 101). The Subordinated Indenture does not limit the aggregate amount of Senior Indebtedness that may be issued. As of October 31, 1994, Senior Indebtedness of the Company aggregated approximately $431,745,000.

Conversion of Subordinated Debt. The applicable Prospectus Supplement will provide whether the Subordinated Debt Securities of a series will be convertible and, if so, the initial conversion price per share at which such convertible Subordinated Debt Securities will be convertible into Common Stock. Subject to prior redemption of the convertible Subordinated Debt Securities, the Holders of such Subordinated Debt Securities will be entitled at any time on or before the close of business on the maturity date thereof to convert such Subordinated Debt Securities (or, in the case of convertible Subordinated Debt Securities of denominations in excess of $1,000, any portion of which is $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000) into shares of Common Stock at the initial conversion price set forth in the applicable Prospectus Supplement. No adjustment will be made on conversion of any convertible Subordinated Debt Securities for interest accrued thereon or, except as set forth below, for dividends on any

securities issued upon such conversion. (Subordinated Indenture Section 1301).

In order to exercise the right of conversion, the Holder of any such convertible Subordinated Debt Securities must surrender his convertible Subordinated Debt Securities to the Company at any office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose. The convertible Subordinated Debt Securities to be surrendered must be accompanied by written notice to the Company that the Holder elects to convert such Subordinated Debt Securities.

If any convertible Subordinated Debt Security is converted between a record date for the payment of interest and the next succeeding interest payment date, such convertible Subordinated Debt Security must be accompanied (unless such Debt Securities or portions thereof have been called for redemption on a redemption date within such period) by funds payable to the Company equal to the interest payable to the registered Holder on such interest payment date on the principal amount so converted. In the case of any convertible Subordinated Debt Security or portion thereof called for redemption, conversion rights expire at the close of business on the Redemption Date, even if such redemption occurs at a time when conversion of the Subordinated Debt Security portion thereof is in the best interests of the Holder. (Subordinated Indenture Section 1302).

No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued upon conversion but, in lieu thereof, an adjustment in cash will be made based on the market price of Common Stock at the close of business on the date of conversion. (Subordinated Indenture Section 1303).

The Conversion Price will be subject to adjustment in the event of: (i) the payment of certain stock dividends on the Common Stock; (ii) the issuance of certain rights or warrants to all holders of the Common Stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock at a price less than the market price; (iii) the subdivision of Common Stock into a greater number of shares of Common Stock or the combination of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock; (iv) the distribution by the Company to all holders of the Common Stock of evidences of indebtedness or assets of the Company (excluding rights or warrants and any dividends or distributions mentioned above); and (v) the reclassification of Common Stock into other securities. However, no adjustment in the Conversion Price will be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% in the Conversion Price. (Subordinated Indenture Section 1304).

In case of certain consolidations or mergers to which the Company is a party or the transfer of substantially all of the assets of the Company, each convertible Subordinated Debt Security then

outstanding would, without the consent of any Holders of the convertible Subordinated Debt Securities, become convertible only into the kind and amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon the consolidation, merger or transfer by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which such convertible Subordinated Debt Security might have been converted immediately prior to such consolidation, merger or transfer (assuming such holder of Common Stock failed to exercise any rights of election and received per share the kind and amount received per share by a plurality of non-electing shares). (Subordinated Indenture Section 1311).

Form, Exchange, Registration and Transfer

Debt Securities of a series may be issuable in certificated or global form. Debt Securities may be presented for registration of transfer (with the form of transfer endorsed thereon duly executed), at the office of the Security Registrar or at the office of any transfer agent designated by the Company for such purpose with respect to any series of Debt Securities and referred to in an applicable Prospectus Supplement, without service charge and upon payment of any taxes and other governmental charges as described in the applicable Indenture. Such transfer or exchange will be effected upon the Security Registrar or such transfer agent, as the case may be, being satisfied with the documents of title and identity of the person making the request. The Company has appointed the Senior Trustee as Security Registrar with respect to the Senior Debt Securities and the Subordinated Trustee as Security Registrar with respect to the Subordinated Debt Securities. (Section 305). The Company may at any time rescind the designation of any such transfer agent or approve a change in the location through which any such transfer agent acts, except that the Company will be required to maintain a transfer agent in each place of payment for such series. The Company may at any time designate additional transfer agents with respect to any series of Debt Securities. (Section 1002).

In the event of any redemption, the Company shall not be required to (i) issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Debt Security 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 like tenor and of the series of which such Debt Security is a part, and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing or (ii) register the transfer of or exchange any Debt Security so selected for redemption, in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Debt Security being redeemed in part. (Section 305).

Payment and Paying Agents

Unless otherwise indicated in an applicable Prospectus Supplement, payment of principal of and premium (if any) on any Debt Security will be made only against surrender to the Paying Agent of such

Debt Security. Principal of and any premium and interest, if any, on Debt Securities will be payable at such place or places of payment by such Paying Agent or Paying Agents as the Company may designate from time to time, except that at the option of the Company payment of any interest may be made by check mailed to the address of the person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register with respect to such Debt Securities. (Sections 1001 and 1002). Unless otherwise indicated in an applicable Prospectus Supplement, payment of interest on a Debt Security on any Interest Payment Date will be made to the person in whose name such Debt Security is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest. (Section 307).

The Corporate Trust Office of the applicable Trustee in the City of New York will be designated as a Paying Agent for payments with respect to Debt Securities of each series. The Company may at any time designate additional Paying Agents or rescind the designation of any Paying Agent or approve a change in the office through which any Paying Agent acts, except that the Company will be required to maintain a Paying Agent in each place of payment for the Debt Securities. (Section 1002).

All moneys paid by the Company to a Paying Agent for the payment of the principal of and premium or interest, if any, on any Debt Security of any series which remain unclaimed at the end of two years after such principal, premium, if any, or interest shall have become due and payable will be repaid to the Company and the Holder of such Debt Security will thereafter look only to the Company for payment thereof. (Section 1003).

Global Debt Securities

If any Debt Securities of a series are issuable in global form, the applicable Prospectus Supplement will describe the circumstances, if any, under which beneficial owners of interests in any such global Debt Security may exchange such interests for Debt Securities of such series and of like tenor and principal amount in any authorized form and denomination. Principal of and any premium and interest on a global Debt Security will be payable in the manner described in the applicable Prospectus Supplement.

The specific terms of the depository arrangement with respect to any portion of a series of Debt Securities to be represented by a global Debt Security will be described in the applicable Prospectus Supplement.

Senior Indenture Restrictive Covenants

The Senior Indenture (but not the Subordinated Indenture) places certain restrictions on the Company as described in this section.

Certain Definitions. "Subsidiary" means any corporation of which the Company, directly or indirectly, owns voting securities entitling it to elect a majority of the directors. "Unrestricted Subsidiary" means (a) any Subsidiary acquired or organized after the date of the Senior Indenture, provided that such Subsidiary is not a successor, directly or indirectly, to any "Restricted Subsidiary" (as defined), (b) any Subsidiary the principal business and assets of which are located outside the United States of America, its territories and possessions and (c) any Subsidiary substantially all the assets of which consist of stock or other securities of a Subsidiary or Subsidiaries of the character described in (a) and (b) above, in each case unless and until such Subsidiary or Subsidiaries shall have been designated to be a "Restricted Subsidiary." "Restricted Subsidiary" means (a) any Subsidiary other than an Unrestricted Subsidiary and (b) any Subsidiary which, after the date of the Senior Indenture, was an Unrestricted Subsidiary but which is designated by the Board of Directors of the Company to be a Restricted Subsidiary. (Senior Indenture Section 101).

"Principal Facility" means any manufacturing plant, warehouse, office building or other operating facility of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, owned on or acquired after May 1, 1985, other than any such facility which the Board of Directors of the Company by duly adopted resolution deems not to be of material importance to the business conducted by the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole. (Senior Indenture Section 101).

Restrictions on Creation of Secured Debt. The Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries are prohibited from creating, incurring, assuming or guaranteeing any Secured Debt without equally and ratably securing the Senior Debt Securities then outstanding and any other indebtedness of or guaranteed by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary then entitled thereto, except that this restriction does not apply to (i) purchase money security interests (including those incurred in connection with future construction) and security interests in property acquired by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary which exist at the time such property is acquired, (ii) security interests existing on the property, shares or indebtedness of a corporation at the time it becomes a Restricted Subsidiary, (iii) any security interest on property of a corporation existing at the time such corporation is merged into or consolidated with the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, (iv) mechanics' and other statutory liens arising in the ordinary course of business, (v) liens for taxes not yet due and for contested taxes against which adequate reserves have been established, and judgment liens if the judgment is being contested and so long as execution thereof is stayed, (vi) leases and certain landlords' liens,
(vii) certain governmental liens arising in connection with contracts or other transactions, including security interests arising in connection with the financing of pollution control facilities, or in

connection with any governmental regulation, privilege or license, and (viii) any extension, renewal or replacement of (i) through (vii) above. (Senior Indenture Section 1005). "Secured Debt" means indebtedness (other than indebtedness of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary to the Company or another Restricted Subsidiary) for money borrowed or on which interest is by the terms of such indebtedness paid or payable, which (a) is secured by a security interest in any Principal Facility or in the stock or indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary, or (b) in the case of indebtedness of the Company, is guaranteed by a Restricted Subsidiary. (Senior Indenture Section 101).

Notwithstanding the foregoing restrictions, the Company and Restricted Subsidiaries may issue, assume or guarantee Secured Debt not otherwise permitted without equally and ratably securing the Senior Debt Securities if the sum of (a) the amount of such Secured Debt plus (b) the aggregate value of Sale and Leaseback Transactions (subject to certain exceptions) described below, does not exceed 5% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets. (Senior Indenture Section 1005). "Consolidated Net Tangible Assets" means (i) the aggregate amount of assets (less applicable reserves and other properly deductible items) appearing on the balance sheet of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries, except goodwill and similar intangible assets, less (ii) the consolidated current liabilities (subject to certain exceptions) of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries. (Senior Indenture Section 101).

Restrictions on Sales and Leasebacks. The Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries are prohibited from engaging in any Sale and Leaseback Transaction unless
(a) the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary would be entitled to incur, without the benefit of the exceptions referred to in the first paragraph under "Restrictions on Creation of Secured Debt" above, Secured Debt equal to the amount realized upon the sale or transfer involved in such transaction without equally and ratably securing the Senior Debt Securities or (b) an amount equal to the value (as defined) of the property leased is applied to (i) the purchase or construction of properties, facilities or equipment used for operating purposes, (ii) the retirement of Funded Debt of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary other than Funded Debt owed to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary; provided, however, that the amount to be applied to the retirement of Funded Debt of the Company shall be reduced by (A) the principal amount of any Senior Debt Securities delivered within 120 days after such sale or transfer to the Trustee for retirement and cancellation, and (B) the principal amount of Funded Debt, other than Senior Debt Securities, voluntarily retired by the Company within 120 days after such sale or transfer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no retirement referred to in clause (b) above may be effected by payment at maturity or pursuant to any mandatory sinking fund payment or any mandatory

prepayment provision. (Senior Indenture Section 1006). "Sale and Leaseback Transaction" means any sale or transfer of any Principal Facility in operation for more than 120 days prior to such sale or transfer if the sale or transfer is made with the intention of, or as part of an arrangement involving, the lease of such property to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary (except a lease for a period not exceeding 36 months with the intention that the use of such property by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary will be discontinued on or before the expiration of such period). "Funded Debt" means all indebtedness for money borrowed maturing more than one year from the date of the most recent balance sheet of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries or having a maturity of less than one year but by its terms being renewable or extendible beyond one year from such date at the borrower's option. (Senior Indenture Section 101).

Restriction on Transfer of Principal Facility to Unrestricted Subsidiary. The Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries are prohibited from transferring any Principal Facility to an Unrestricted Subsidiary unless, within 120 days of such transfer, it applies an amount equal to the fair value of such Principal Facility to one of the alternatives set forth in clause (b) of the preceding paragraph with respect to Sale and Leaseback Transactions. (Senior Indenture Section 1007).

Merger and Consolidation

The Indentures provide that no merger or consolidation of the Company with or into any other corporation and no sale, or conveyance or lease of all or substantially all of its property may be made to another corporation unless immediately after such transaction the surviving or acquiring corporation, if not the Company, (i) is organized and exists under the laws of the United States of America or a State thereof, (ii) expressly assumes by supplemental indenture the payment of principal of and premium and interest, if any, on all Debt Securities and the performance and observance of all covenants and conditions of each Indenture to be performed and kept by the Company and (iii) is not in default in the performance or observance of any of the covenants and conditions of each Indenture to be performed and kept by the Company. (Section 801). The Senior Indenture (but not the Subordinated Indenture) also provides that no such merger, consolidation, sale, conveyance or lease may be consummated if, as a result thereof, any Principal Facility would become subject to a security interest, unless either (i) the Senior Debt Securities then outstanding shall prior to such transaction be equally and ratably secured by a direct lien on such Principal Facility prior in rank to all subsequent liens, or (ii) such security interest would be permitted as described under "Restrictions on Creation of Secured Debt" above. (Senior Indenture Section 802).

The Indentures do not contain any other covenant that restricts the Company's ability to merge or consolidate with any other corporation, sell or convey all or substantially all of its assets to any person, firm or corporation or otherwise engage in restructuring transactions. Further, the Indentures do not contain any provisions that would provide protection to Holders of Debt Securities against a sudden and dramatic decline in credit quality resulting from a takeover, recapitalization or similar restructuring of the Company.

Discharge of Indentures

If and when the Company (a) has delivered all Debt Securities of any series theretofore authenticated to the applicable Trustee for cancellation or (b) if permitted by the terms of a series of Debt Securities and specified in the Prospectus Supplement relating thereto (i) has deposited irrevocably with the applicable Trustee cash funds or Government Obligations, the principal of and interest on which when due will, together with any cash funds set aside at the same time and without the necessity for further investment or reinvestment of the principal amount of or interest from such Government Obligations or of such cash funds, provide funds sufficient to pay at maturity or upon redemption the principal of and premium and interest, if any, on all of the outstanding Debt Securities of any series appropriately designated and (ii) has obtained an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such deposit will not alter the tax liabilities of Holders of Debt Securities of such series or cause the recognition of income, gain or loss by such Holders for federal income tax purposes, and, in either case, the Company has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable under the applicable Indenture with respect to Debt Securities of such series, then, except as provided below, the applicable Indenture shall cease to be of further effect with respect to Debt Securities of such series and, at the written request of the Company, the applicable Trustee will execute proper instruments acknowledging the satisfaction of and discharge of the applicable Indenture; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as a Debt Security of such series remains outstanding the applicable Indenture shall continue in effect following such discharge with respect to rights of registration of transfer, exchange or replacement of Debt Securities of such series, rights to receive payment of the principal thereof and premium and interest, if any, thereon, certain obligations of the Company under the applicable Indenture, and correlative rights and responsibilities of the applicable Trustee. (Section 401).

"Government Obligations" means direct obligations of, or obligations the timely payment of the principal of and interest on which are unconditionally guaranteed by, the United States of America and which are not, by their terms, callable.

Defeasance of Certain Obligations

If so specified in the Prospectus Supplement, the Company may omit to comply with the restrictive covenants of the Indenture in respect of Debt Securities of any series if the Company deposits with the Trustee, in trust, (i) money; (ii) U.S. Government Securities which through the payment of interest thereon and principal thereof in accordance with their terms will provide money; or (iii) any combination of
(i) and (ii) above, in an amount sufficient to pay all principal (including any mandatory sinking fund payments) of, and premium, if any, and interest on, the Debt Securities on the dates such payments are due in accordance with the terms of the Debt Securities. Despite such deposit and covenant defeasance, the Company's primary liability to pay all outstanding Debt Securities shall survive until the payment of all principal (including any mandatory sinking fund payments) thereof, premium, if any, and interest due thereon. Such defeasance will become effective after the Company, among other things, has delivered to the Trustee an opinion of counsel to the effect that the trust resulting from the defeasance will not constitute, or is qualified as, a regulated investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940. (Section 403).

"U.S. Government Securities" means securities that are (i) direct obligations of the United States of America for the payment of which its full faith and credit is pledged or (ii) obligations of a person controlled or supervised by and acting as an agency or instrumentality of the United States of America, the timely payment of which is unconditionally guaranteed as a full faith and credit obligation by the United States of America, which, in either case under clauses
(i) or (ii) are not callable or redeemable at the option of the issuer thereof, and shall also include a depository receipt issued by a bank or trust company as custodian with respect to any such U.S. Government Security or a specific payment of interest on or principal of any such U.S. Government Security held by such custodian for the amount of the holder of a depository receipt, provided that (except as required by law) such custodian is not authorized to make any deduction from the amount payable to the holder of such depository receipt from any amount received by the custodian in respect of the U.S. Government Security evidenced by such depository receipt.

Events of Default

The following constitute Events of Default with respect to Debt Securities of any series: (a) default in the payment of any interest upon any Debt Security of that series when due, continued for 30 days; (b) default in the payment of principal of or premium, if any, on any Debt Security of that series when due; (c) default in the payment or satisfaction of any sinking fund obligation with respect to Debt Securities of that series when and as due; (d) failure to perform any other covenant or agreement contained in the applicable Indenture continued for 60 days after written notice by the Trustee or Holders of at least

25% in principal amount of the outstanding Debt Securities of that series; and (e) certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization. The Senior Indenture (but not the Subordinated Indenture) also includes as an Event of Default with respect to the Senior Debt Securities the acceleration of the maturity of indebtedness aggregating more than $5,000,000 of the Company under the terms of an instrument or instruments under which such indebtedness are issued or secured, if such acceleration is not annulled within ten days after written notice by the Trustee or Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Debt Securities of that series. If an Event of Default with respect to Debt Securities of any series shall occur and be continuing, the applicable Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities of that series then outstanding may declare by written notice all the Debt Securities of that series due and payable immediately, but such declaration may in certain circumstances be annulled, and certain past defaults waived, by the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities under the applicable Indenture. Each Indenture also provides that the applicable Trustee shall give notice to the Holders of the occurrence of defaults but may withhold notice to the Holders of any default (except in payment of principal and premium or interest, if any, on the Debt Securities or any sinking fund payment) if it considers it in the interest of the Holders to do so. (Sections 501, 502, 513 and 602).

Each Indenture provides that the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Debt Securities of any series may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the applicable Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the applicable Trustee with respect to Debt Securities of that series. Each Trustee is entitled to be indemnified by the Holders under the applicable Indenture before proceeding to exercise any right or power under each Indenture at the request of the Holders. The right of a Holder of any Debt Security to institute a proceeding with respect to the applicable Indenture is subject to certain conditions precedent, including notice and indemnity to the applicable Trustee, but the Holder has an absolute right to receipt of principal and premium and interest, if any, when due and to institute suit for the enforcement thereof. (Sections 507, 508, 512 and 603).

Modifications and Waivers

Modifications and amendments of each Indenture may be made by the Company and the Trustee by supplemental indenture, in the case of the Senior Indenture, with the consent of the Holders of 66@/3% in principal amount of the outstanding Debt Securities of each series affected thereby, or, in the case of the Subordinated Indenture, with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the

outstanding Debt Securities of each series affected thereby; provided, however, that under either Indenture no such modification or amendment may, without the consent of the Holder of each outstanding Debt Security affected thereby, (a) change the stated maturity date of the principal amount of, or any installment of principal of or interest on, any Debt Security, (b) reduce the principal amount of, or the premium or interest, if any, on, any Debt Security,
(c) reduce the amount of principal of any original issue discount Debt Security payable upon acceleration of the maturity thereof, (d) change the place or currency of payment of principal of, or premium or interest, if any, on, any Debt Security, (e) impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to any Debt Security on or after maturity thereof, (f) reduce the percentage in principal amount of outstanding Debt Securities of any series, the consent of the Holders of which is required for modification or amendment of each Indenture or for waiver of compliance with certain provisions of each Indenture or for waiver of certain defaults. (Section 902). The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Debt Securities of any series may on behalf of the Holders of all Debt Securities of that series waive, insofar as that series is concerned, compliance by the Company with certain restrictive provisions of each Indenture. (Senior Indenture Section 1008; Subordinated Indenture Section 1004). The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Debt Securities of any series may on behalf of the Holders of all Debt Securities of that series waive any past default under each Indenture with respect to Debt Securities of that series, except a default in the payment of the principal of, or premium or interest, if any, on, any Debt Security of that series or in respect of any provision which under each Indenture cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holders of each outstanding Debt Security of that series affected. (Section 513).

Title to Debt Securities

The Company, any agent of the Company and the applicable Trustee may treat the registered Holder of any Debt Security as the absolute owner thereof (whether or not such Debt Security shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notice to the contrary) for the purpose of making payment and for all other purposes. (Section 308).

Replacement of Debt Securities

Any mutilated Debt Security will be replaced by the Company at the expense of the Holder upon surrender of such Debt Security to the applicable Trustee. Debt Securities that become destroyed, lost or stolen will be replaced by the Company at the expense of the Holder upon delivery to the applicable Trustee of evidence of the destruction, loss or theft thereof satisfactory to the Company and the applicable Trustee. In the case of a destroyed, lost or stolen

Debt Security, an indemnity satisfactory to the applicable Trustee and the Company may be required at the expense of the Holder of such Debt Security before a replacement Debt Security will be issued. (Section 306).

Governing Law

The Senior Indenture is, and the Subordinated Indenture and the Debt Securities will be, governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York. (Section 112).

Information Concerning the Trustees

Each Indenture contains limitations on the right of the applicable Trustee, as a creditor of the Company, to obtain payment of claims in certain cases, or to realize on certain property received in respect of any such claim as security or otherwise. (Section 613). In addition, a Trustee may be deemed to have a conflicting interest and may be required to resign as Trustee if at the time of a default under the applicable Indenture it is a creditor of the Company.

Chemical Bank, the Trustee under the Senior Indenture and the Trustee under the Subordinated Indenture, may engage in transactions with, or performed services for the Company in the ordinary course of business.

DESCRIPTION OF THE CAPITAL STOCK

The following description of the capital stock does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, the more complete descriptions thereof set forth in (a) the Company's Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended (the "Certificate of Incorporation"), and the Rights Agreement, dated as of September 29, 1987, between the Company and The Chase Manhattan Bank (National Association), as Rights Agent, both of which have been filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus is a part, and
(b) the Certificate of Designation relating to each series of Preferred Stock, which will be filed with the Commission at or prior to the time of the offering of such series of Preferred Stock. A form of Certificate of Designation is filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus is a part.

The Company is currently authorized by its Restated Articles of Incorporation to issue 70,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $1.25 par value, and 4,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $1.25 par value (the "Preferred Stock"). The Board of Directors has authority to divide the Preferred Stock into one or more series and has broad authority to fix and determine the relative rights and preferences of the shares of each such series.

Common Stock

Subject to the rights of the holders of the Preferred Stock which may be outstanding from time to time, holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive such dividends as are declared by the Board of Directors from any funds legally available therefor, to one vote for each share on all matters voted upon by shareholders, including election of directors (cumulative voting being prohibited), and to share ratably in assets available for distribution upon any liquidation. Holders of Common Stock have no preemptive rights and have no rights to convert their Common Stock into any other securities, and such shares are not subject to redemption or to any further call or assessment.

Shareholder Rights Agreement. In September 1987, the Company's Board declared a dividend of one Preferred Stock contingent purchase right on each outstanding share of Common Stock. All shares of Common Stock issued subsequently also include these rights. Each right may be exercised to purchase one- hundredth of a share of the Company's Series A Junior Participating Cumulative Preferred Stock at an exercise price of $200 (subject to certain adjustments) upon the earlier of: (i) 10 business days following a public announcement that a person or group of affiliated or associated persons has acquired beneficial ownership of 20% or more of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, or (ii) 10 business days following the commencement of a tender offer or exchange offer that would result in a person or group owning 25% or more of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. If any person or group becomes the beneficial owner of 25% or more of the Common Stock then outstanding, or if a 20%-or-more shareholder or group engages in certain self-dealing transactions, or if the Company is involved in a transaction which has the effect of increasing by more than 1% the share of any class of equity securities (or securities exercisable for or convertible into securities) of the Company or any of its subsidiaries owned by a 20%-or-more shareholder or group, then each right not owned by such person or group will entitle its owner to purchase, in lieu of shares of Preferred Stock, at the right's then current exercise price, shares of Common Stock (or, in certain circumstances as determined by the Board, other consideration) having a value of twice the right's exercise price. In addition, if the Company is involved in a merger or other business combination transaction with another person in which its Common Stock is changed into or exchanged for other securities or property of another person, or sells 50% or more of its assets or earning power to another person, each right will entitle its holder to purchase, at the right's then-current exercise price, common stock of such other person having a value of twice the right's exercise price. The rights, which have no voting or dividend rights, expire on September 28, 1997. The Company generally will be entitled to redeem the rights at $.05 per right at any time until the 10th business day following public announcement that a 20% position has been acquired.

Delaware General Corporation Law Section 203. The Company is subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law ("Section 203") which restricts certain transactions and business combinations between a corporation and an interested stockholder (defined in Section 203, generally, as a person owning 15% or more of a corporation's outstanding voting stock) for a period of three years from the date such person becomes an interested stockholder. Subject to certain exceptions, unless the transaction is approved by the Board of Directors and the holders of at least 66@/3% of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation (excluding voting stock held by the interested stockholder), Section 203 prohibits certain business transactions, such as a merger with, disposition of assets to, or receipt of disproportionate financial benefits by the interested stockholder, or any other transaction that would increase the interested stockholder's proportionate ownership of any class or series of the corporation's stock. The statutory ban does not apply if, upon consummation of the transaction in which any person becomes an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owns at least 85% of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation (excluding voting stock held by persons who are both directors and officers or by certain employee stock plans) or if either the proposed transaction or the transaction by which the interested stockholder became such is approved by the board of directors of the corporation prior to the date such stockholder becomes an interested stockholder.

Special Charter Provisions. The Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws of the Company contain provisions which could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of the Company. These provisions (1) classify the Board of Directors into three classes, as nearly equal as possible, each of which serves for three years, with one class elected each year; (2) authorize the Board of Directors to fix the number of Directors and provide that vacancies and newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the number of Directors may only be filled by a majority of the remaining Directors (subject to the rights of any Preferred Stock holders); (3) require that shareholder's nominations for Directors for election at a shareholders meeting be made not later than (a) 90 days prior to the anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting or (b) in the case of a special meeting, seven days following the date on which notice of such meeting is first given to stockholders; (4) provide that Directors may be removed for cause only by the affirmative vote of 80% of the outstanding shares entitled to vote in the election of Directors; (5) provide that, except as otherwise required by law, only the Board of Directors, the Chairman of the Board or the President may call a special meeting of the shareholders; (6) prohibit the taking of any action by written stockholder consent in lieu of a meeting; and (7) provide that the affirmative vote of 80% of the

outstanding shares of Common Stock is required to amend, alter, modify or repeal certain provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws
(including the provisions described in this paragraph)
or to adopt provisions inconsistent therewith.

The Certificate of Incorporation contains a fair price provision which requires that mergers, consolidations, asset sales, liquidations, recapitalizations, and certain other business combinations (a "Business Combination") involving the Company and persons beneficially owning 10% or more of the outstanding shares of Common Stock ("Substantial Stockholders") either (1) meet certain minimum price and procedural requirements, (2) be approved by 3/4 of the "continuing directors" (those in office before such Substantial Stockholder became a Substantial Stockholder and their successors who are approved by a majority of the then current continuing directors), or
(3) be approved by the affirmative vote of (a) 90% of outstanding shares of Common Stock and (b) the number or proportion of shares of any class or series of any class of other shares of the Company (if any) as shall be required by the express terms of such class or series. This provision also provides that it can only be amended by an affirmative vote described in clause
(2) or (3) above and such other vote of the shareholders as may be required by statute or the Bylaws.

To consummate a Business Combination based on the minimum price and procedural requirements the following conditions must be met:

(1) Without the approval of 3/4 of the continuing directors, a Substantial Shareholder shall not, after the time it becomes a Substantial Shareholder, have (a) made any material change in the Company's business or capital structure; (b) received the benefit of any loan, advance, guarantee, pledge or other financial assistance provided by the Company, except proportionately with all other stockholders; (c) made, caused or brought about any change in the Company's Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws or in the membership of the Board of Directors or any committee thereof; or (d) acquired any newly issued or treasury shares from the Company (except upon conversion of convertible securities or as a result of a pro rata share dividend or share split); and

(2) All of the holders of Common Stock must receive consideration which is not less than the greatest of (a) the highest price per share paid by the Substantial Stockholder in acquiring any of its share of Common Stock; (b) the per share book value of the shares of Common Stock as determined by an appraisal firm or other experts selected by the Board of Directors; (c) the highest sale or bid price per share of the Common Stock during the last two years; and (d) an amount which bears the same or a greater

percentage relationship to the market price of the Common Stock immediately prior to the announcement of the Business Combination as the highest price paid in 2(a) above bore to the market price of the Common Stock immediately prior to the commencement of acquisition of the Common Stock by such Substantial Stockholder.

The Certificate of Incorporation also contains a provision which provides that any purchase or other acquisition by the Company or any of its subsidiaries of shares of Common Stock known to be beneficially owned by any holder of 5% or more of the outstanding Common Stock who has owned such securities for less than 2 years requires the affirmative vote of 80% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock unless such shares are purchased at or below fair market value (as defined therein), or as part of a tender or exchange offer made on the same terms to all holders and in accordance with the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, or pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, or by means of open market purchases if the price and other terms are not negotiated by the purchaser and the seller.

Transfer Agent and Registrar. The Transfer Agent and Registrar of the Company's Common Stock is Mellon Securities Trust Company.

Preferred Stock

The Company is currently authorized by its Restated Articles of Incorporation to issue up to 4,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par value $1.25, none of which were outstanding on the date of this Prospectus. Pursuant to the Shareholder Rights Agreement described above, the Board of Directors of the Company has designated 400,000 shares of Series A Junior Participating Cumulative Preferred Stock. See "Common Stock-Shareholder Rights Agreement". The Prospectus Supplement relating to a series of Preferred Stock will specify the terms of such series. See "Common Stock Delaware General Corporate Law
Section 203" and " Special Charter Provisions" for certain statutory and charter provisions which may effect the rights of holders of Preferred Stock.

The Board of Directors has authority to divide the Preferred Stock into one or more series and to fix and determine relative rights and preferences of the shares of each such series, including, without limitation, (a) the designation of such series; (b) the rate or rates at which shares of such series shall be entitled to receive dividends, the periods in respect of which dividends are payable, the conditions upon, and times of payment of, such dividends, the relationship and preference, if any, of such dividends to dividends payable on any other class or classes or any other series of stock, whether such dividends shall be cumulative and, if cumulative, the date or dates from which such dividends shall accumulate, and the other terms and conditions applicable to dividends

upon shares of such series; (c) the rights of the holders of the shares of such series in case the Company is liquidated, dissolved or wound up (which may vary depending upon the time, manner, or voluntary or involuntary nature or other circumstances of such liquidation, dissolution or winding up) and the relationship and preference, if any, of such rights to rights of holders of shares of stock of any other class or classes or any other series of stock; (d) the right, if any, to redeem shares of such series at the option of the Company, including any limitation of such right, and the amount or amounts to be payable in respect of the shares of such series in case of such redemption (which may vary depending on the time, manner or other circumstances of such redemption), and the manner, effect and other terms and conditions of any such redemption thereof; (e) the obligation, if any, of the Company to purchase, redeem or retire shares of such series and/or to maintain a fund for such purpose, and the amount or amounts to be payable from time to time for such purpose or into such fund, or the number of shares to be purchased, redeemed or retired, the per share purchase price or prices and the other terms and conditions of any such obligation or obligations; (f) the voting rights, if any, to be given the shares of such series, including without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the right, if any, as a series or in conjunction with other series or classes, to elect one or more members of the Board of Directors either generally or at certain times or under certain circumstances, and restrictions, if any, on particular corporate acts without a specified vote or consent of holders of such shares (such as, among others, restrictions on modifying the terms of such series or of the Preferred Stock, restricting the permissible terms of other series or the permissible variations between series of Preferred Stock, authorizing or issuing additional shares of Preferred Stock, creating debt or creating any class of stock ranking prior to or on a parity with the Preferred Stock or any series thereof as to dividends or assets); (g) the right, if any, to exchange or convert the shares of such series into shares of any other series of the Preferred Stock or into shares of any other class of stock of the Company, and the rate or basis, time, manner, terms and conditions of exchange or conversion or the method by which the same shall be determined; and (h) any other special rights, and the qualifications limitations or restrictions thereof, of the shares of such series.

The shares of Common Stock offered by the Selling Shareholders were issued by the Company on August 31, 1993 in connection with its acquisition of MultiServ International N.V. ("MultiServ"). Each of the Selling Shareholders was a shareholder and officer of MultiServ prior to such acquisition. Mr. Butler is currently President of Heckett MultiServ East and Mr. Wright is currently Senior Vice President Development and Administration of Heckett MultiServ East. Mr. Bowden is not employed by the Company or any of its affiliates.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The Company or the Selling Shareholders may offer or sell Securities to one or more underwriters for public offering and sale by them or may sell Securities to investors directly or through agents. Alternatively, a Selling Shareholder may from time to time offer any or all of the Common Stock owned by it on the New York or Pacific Stock Exchange, through registered brokers or dealers pursuant to unsolicited orders or offers to buy, in independent transactions, or otherwise. The Company or the Selling Shareholders may sell Securities as soon as practicable after effectiveness of the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus is a part, provided that favorable market conditions exist. Any such underwriter or agent involved in the offer and sale of the Securities will be named in an applicable Prospectus Supplement.

Underwriters may offer and sell the Securities at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed, or from time to time at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. The Company also may offer and sell the Securities offered by it in exchange for one or more of its outstanding issues of equity or debt or convertible debt securities. The Company or a Selling Shareholder also may, from time to time, authorize firms acting as the Company's or such Selling Shareholder's agents to offer and sell the Securities upon the terms and conditions as shall be set forth in any Prospectus Supplement. In

connection with the sale of Securities, underwriters may be deemed to have received compensation from the Company or such Selling Shareholder, as the case may be, in the form of underwriting discounts or commissions and may also receive commissions from purchasers of Securities for whom they may act as agent. Underwriters may sell Securities to or through dealers, and such dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the underwriters and/or commissions (which may be changed from time to time) from the purchasers for whom they may act as agent.

Any underwriting compensation paid by the Company or a Selling Shareholder to underwriters or agents in connection with the offering of Securities, and any discounts, concessions or commissions allowed by underwriters to participating dealers, will be set forth in an applicable Prospectus Supplement. Underwriters, dealers and agents participating in the distribution of the Securities may be deemed to be underwriters, and any discounts and commissions received by them and any profit realized by them on resale of the Securities may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions, under the Securities Act. Underwriters, dealers and agents may be entitled, under agreements with the Company or the Selling Shareholders, to indemnification against and contribution toward certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, and to reimbursement for certain expenses.

Underwriters, dealers and agents may engage in transactions with, or perform services for, the Company in the ordinary course of business.

If so indicated in an applicable Prospectus Supplement, the Company may authorize dealers acting as the Company's agents to solicit offers by certain institutions to purchase Debt Securities from the Company at the public offering price set forth in such Prospectus Supplement pursuant to Delayed Delivery Contracts ("Contracts") providing for payment and delivery on the date or dates stated in such Prospectus Supplement. Each Contract will be for an amount not less than, and the aggregate principal amount of Debt Securities sold pursuant to Contracts shall be not less nor more than, the respective amounts stated in such Prospectus Supplement. Institutions with whom Contracts, when authorized, may be made include commercial and savings banks, insurance companies, pension funds, investment companies, educational and charitable institutions and other institutions, but will in all cases be subject to the approval of the Company. Contracts will not be subject to any conditions except (i) the purchase by an institution of the Debt Securities covered by its Contracts shall not at the time of delivery be prohibited under the laws of any jurisdiction in the United States to which such institution is subject, and (ii) if the Debt Securities are being sold to underwriters, the Company shall have sold to such underwriters the total principal amount of the Debt

Securities less the principal amount thereof covered by Contracts. Agents and underwriters will have no responsibility in respect of the delivery or performance of Contracts.

Each series of Debt Securities and Preferred Stock will be a new issue of securities and will have no established trading market. Any underwriters to whom Securities are sold by the Company or the Selling Shareholders for public offering and sale may make a market in such Securities, but such underwriters will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue any market making at any time without notice. The Securities may or may not be listed on a national securities exchange or a foreign securities exchange, except that the Common Stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange and the Pacific Stock Exchange. Any Common Stock sold pursuant to a Prospectus Supplement will be listed on such exchanges, subject to official notice of issuance. No assurance can be given as to the liquidity of or the trading markets for any Securities.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

Reference is made to Article III, Section 9 of the By-Laws of the Company, filed as Exhibit 4(c) hereto, which provides for indemnification of all directors and officers of the Company in their capacities as such to the full extent permitted by the laws of the State of Delaware, under the law of which the Company is incorporated.

Reference is made to Article Thirteenth,
Section (b) of the Articles of Incorporation of the Company, filed as Exhibit 4(a) hereto, which eliminates the liability of a Director to the Company and its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of the Director's fiduciary duty of care.

Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a corporation may indemnify any person (or his personal representatives) who, by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of such corporation, is made (or threatened to be made) a party to an action other than one brought on behalf of the corporation, against reasonable expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and settlement payments, if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be not opposed to the best interests of such corporation and, in criminal actions, in addition, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. In the case of actions on behalf of the corporation, indemnification may extend only to reasonable expenses (including attorneys' fees) and only if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, provided that no such indemnification is permitted in

respect of any claim as to which such person is liable for negligence or misconduct except to the extent that a court otherwise provides. To the extent that such person has been successful in defending any action (even one on behalf of the corporation), he is entitled to indemnification for reasonable expenses (including attorneys' fees).

The indemnification provided for by the statute is not exclusive of any other rights of indemnification, and a corporation may maintain insurance against liabilities for which indemnification is not expressly provided by the statute.

There is presently in force liability insurance providing coverage up to $50 million per policy year (with certain deductibles and exceptions) for past, present and future directors and officers of the Company acting in such capabilities.

Item 17. Undertakings.

(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

(i) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this registration statement;

(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this registration statement or any material change to such information in this registration statement;

provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and
(a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in this registration statement.

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each

such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in this registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the registrant pursuant to the provision described under Item 15 above, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

SIGNATURES

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-3 and has duly caused this registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the Borough of Wormleysburg, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, on December 14, 1994.

Exhibit 1

HARSCO CORPORATION

[Type of Securities]

UNDERWRITING AGREEMENT

__________ , 199_

To the Representative or Representatives Specified in Schedule B

Gentlemen:

Harsco Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("Company"), confirms its agreement with the several Underwriters listed in Schedule A hereto ("Underwriters", which term may refer to a single Underwriter if only one is listed in Schedule A) as follows:

1. Description of Securities. The Company proposes to issue and sell securities of the title, amount, and particular terms set forth or referred to in Schedule B hereto ("Securities"). [If debt securities: The Securities are to be issued under the Indenture ("Indenture") identified in Schedule B hereto.] [If equity securities: The Securities consist of shares of the Company's [Common Stock, $1.25 par value ("Common Stock")] [preferred stock, $1.25 par value ("Preferred Stock") of the series described on Schedule B] ("Firm Shares"). The Company proposes to issue and sell to the Underwriters, at the option of the Underwriters, an additional number of shares of [Common Stock] [Preferred Stock] specified in Schedule B ("Optional Shares") as provided in
Section 3 hereof. As used herein, the term "Securities" refers to both the Firm Shares and the Optional Shares.]

2. Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company represents and warrants to, and agrees with, each Underwriter that:

(a) A registration statement on Form S-3 (with the file number set forth in Schedule B hereto), including a prospectus, with respect to the Securities has been prepared by the Company in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("Act")[, the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended ("Trust Indenture Act"),] and the rules and regulations ("Rules and Regulations") of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission") thereunder and

filed with the Commission and has become effective. Such registration statement and prospectus may have been amended or supplemented from time to time prior to the date of this Agreement; any such amendment or supplement was so prepared and filed and any such amendment has become effective. Copies of such registration statement and prospectus, any such amendment or supplement and all documents incorporated by reference therein that were filed with the Commission on or prior to the date of this Agreement (including one fully executed copy of the registration statement and of each amendment thereto for you and for counsel for the Underwriters) have been delivered to you. A prospectus supplement ("Prospectus Supplement") setting forth the terms of the Securities and of their sale and distribution has been or will be so prepared and will be filed pursuant to Rule 424 under the Act. Such registration statement as it may have heretofore been amended is referred to herein as the "Registration Statement," and the final form of prospectus as set forth in the Registration Statement, as supplemented by the Prospectus Supplement, is referred to herein as the "Prospectus." Each form of Prospectus, or Prospectus and Prospectus Supplement, if any, heretofore made available for use in offering the Securities is referred to herein as a "Preliminary Prospectus." Any reference herein to the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, any amendment or supplement thereto, or any Preliminary Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include the documents incorporated by reference therein, and any reference herein to the terms "amend," "amendment," or "supplement" with respect to the Registration Statement or Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include the filing of any document with the Commission deemed to be incorporated by reference therein.

(b) Each part of the registration statement, when such part became or becomes effective, conformed or will conform in all material respects with the requirements of the Act, [the Trust Indenture Act,] and the Rules and Regulations and did not or will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; each Preliminary Prospectus (if any), on the date thereof, the Prospectus, on the date of the Prospectus Supplement, and the Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereof, on the date of any such amendment or supplement and on the Closing Date, conformed or will conform in all material respects with the requirements of the Act, [the Trust Indenture Act,] and the Rules and Regulations and did not or will not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the

statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; except that the foregoing shall not apply to statements in or omissions from any such document in reliance upon, and in conformity with, written information furnished to the Company by you, or by any Underwriter through you, specifically for use in the preparation thereof.

(c) The documents incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, any amendment or supplement thereto, or any Preliminary Prospectus, when they became or become effective under the Act or were or are filed with the Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Exchange Act"), as the case may be, conformed or will conform in all material respects with the requirements of the Act or the Exchange Act, as applicable, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.

(d) The consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries included in the Registration Statement and Prospectus fairly present the consolidated financial condition of the Company and its subsidiaries as of the dates indicated and the consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the periods therein specified in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied throughout the periods involved (except as otherwise stated therein).

(e) The Company and each of its subsidiaries has been duly incorporated and is an existing corporation in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation, has full power and authority (corporate and other) to conduct its business as described in the Registration Statement and Prospectus and is duly qualified to do business in each jurisdiction in which it owns or leases real property or in which the conduct of its business requires such qualification except where the failure to be so qualified, considering all such cases in the aggregate, does not involve a material risk to the business, properties, consolidated financial position, or consolidated results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries; and all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of each such subsidiary have been duly authorized and validly issued, are fully paid and non-assessable and (except as otherwise stated in the Registration Statement or in the Prospectus, or as set forth in a letter to you) are beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company subject to no security interest, other encumbrance or adverse claim.

(f) [If debt securities: The Indenture and the Securities have been duly authorized, the

Indenture has been duly qualified under the Trust Indenture Act, executed, and delivered and constitutes, and the Securities, when duly executed, authenticated, issued, and delivered as contemplated hereby and by the Indenture against payment therefor, will constitute, valid and legally binding obligations of the Company enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject, as to enforcement, to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors' rights and to general equity principles.]

[If convertible securities: As to any Securities which are convertible into Common Stock, ("Convertible Securities"), such Convertible Securities, when issued as contem- plated hereby, will be convertible into Common Stock in accordance with their terms, the shares of Common Stock initially issuable upon conversion of any Convertible Securities will have been duly authorized and reserved for issuance upon such conversion, and, when so issued, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.]

(g) Except as contemplated in the Prospectus, subsequent to the respective dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has incurred any liabilities or obligations, direct or contingent, or entered into any transactions, not in the ordinary course of business, that are material to the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole, and there has not been any material change, on a consolidated basis, in the capital stock or short-term debt and long-term debt of the Company and its subsidiaries, or any material

adverse change, or any development involving a prospective material adverse change, in the condition (financial or other), business, prospects, net worth, or results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries considered as a whole.

(h) There are no contracts or documents of the Company or any of its subsidiaries that are required to be filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement or to any of the documents incorporated by reference therein by the Act,

(i) The performance of this Agreement [and of any Delayed Delivery Contracts (as hereinafter defined)] and the consummation of the transactions herein [or therein] contemplated will not result in a breach or violation of any of the terms and provisions of, or constitute a default under, any statute, any agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound or to which any of the property of the Company is subject, the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, or By- laws, or any order, rule, or regulation of any court or governmental agency or body having jurisdiction over the Company or any of its properties; no consent, approval, authorization, or order of, or filing with, any court or governmental agency or body is required for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in connection with the issuance or sale of the Securities by the Company, except such as may be required under the Act, [the Trust Indenture Act,] or state securities laws; and the Company has full power and authority to authorize, issue and sell the Securities as contemplated by this Agreement.

3. Purchase, Sale and Delivery of Securities. On the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements herein contained, but subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Company agrees to issue and sell to each Underwriter, and each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase from the Company, at the purchase price set forth in Schedule B hereto, the amount of Securities set forth opposite the name of such Underwriter in Schedule A hereto [less the reduction for such Underwriter's portion of any Contract Securities determined as provided below].

[If debt securities: If so authorized in Schedule B hereto, the Underwriters may solicit offers from investors of the types set forth in the Prospectus to purchase Securities from the Company pursuant to delayed delivery contracts ("Delayed Delivery Contracts"). Such contracts shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit I hereto but with such changes therein as the Company may approve.

Securities to be purchased pursuant to Delayed Delivery Contracts are herein called "Contract Securities." When Delayed Delivery Contracts are authorized in Schedule B, the Company will enter into a Delayed Delivery Contract in each case where a sale of Contract Securities arranged through you has been approved by the Company but, except as the Company may otherwise agree, such Delayed Delivery Contracts must be for at least the minimum amount of Contract Securities set forth in Schedule B hereto, and the aggregate amount of Contract Securities may not exceed the amount set forth in such Schedule. The Company will advise you not later than 10:00 A.M., New York City time, on the third full business day preceding the Closing Date (or at such later time as you may otherwise agree) of the sales of Contract Securities that have been so approved. You and the other Underwriters will not have any responsibility in respect of the validity or performance of Delayed Delivery Contracts.

The amount of Securities to be purchased by each Underwriter as set forth in Schedule A hereto shall be reduced by an amount that shall bear the same proportion to the total amount of Contract Securities as the amount of Securities set forth opposite the name of such Underwriter bears to the total amount of Securities set forth in Schedule A hereto, except to the extent that you determine that such reduction shall be otherwise than in such proportion and so advise the Company; provided, however, that the total amount of Securities to be purchased by all Underwriters shall be the total amount of Securities set forth in Schedule A hereto less the aggregate amount of Contract Securities.

The Securities to be purchased by the Underwriters will be delivered by the Company to you for the accounts of the several Underwriters at the office specified in Schedule B hereto against payment of the purchase price therefor by certified or official bank check or checks payable to the order of the Company or, if so requested by the Company, by wire transfer to a bank account designated by the Company in the funds specified, at the office, on the date, and at the times specified in such Schedule B, or at such other time not later than eight full business days thereafter as you and the Company determine, such time being herein referred to as the "Closing Date." Unless otherwise specified in Schedule B, such Securities will be issued in book-entry form and prepared in the denominations requested by and registered in the name of, the securities depository (or a nominee thereof) set forth in Schedule B hereto and will be made available for checking at least one business day prior to the Closing Date. If not issued in book-entry form, such Securities will be prepared in definitive form and in such authorized denominations and registered in such names as you may require upon at least two business days' prior notice to the Company and will be made available for checking and packaging at the office at which they are to be delivered on the Closing Date (or such other office as may be specified for that purpose in Schedule B) at least one business day prior to the Closing Date.]

[If equity securities: If provided for in Schedule B, the Underwriters have the right (an "Over- allotment Option") to purchase at their election up to the number of Optional Shares set forth in Schedule B, at the terms set forth in the first paragraph of this
Section 3, for the sole purpose of covering over- allotments in the sale of the Firm Shares. Any such election to purchase Optional Shares may be exercised only by written notice to the Company, given within a period specified in Schedule B, setting forth the aggregate number of Optional Shares to be purchased and the date on which such Optional Shares are to be delivered, as determined by you but in no event earlier than the First Closing Date (as defined in this Section 3) or, unless you and the Company otherwise agree in writing, earlier than or later than the respective number of business days after the date of such notice set forth in Schedule B.

The number of Optional Shares to be added to the number of the Firm Shares to be purchased by each Underwriter as set forth in Schedule A shall be, in each case, the number of Optional Shares which the Company has been advised by you have been attributed to such Underwriter, provided that, if the Company has not been so advised, the number of Optional Shares to be so added shall be, in each case, that proportion of Optional Shares which the number of Firm Shares to be purchased by such Underwriter bears to the aggregate number of Firm Shares (rounded as you may determine to the nearest share). The total number of shares to be purchased by all the Underwriters shall be the aggregate number of Firm Shares set forth in Schedule A plus the aggregate number of the Optional Shares which the Underwriters elect to purchase.

Certificates for the Firm Shares and Optional Shares to be purchased by each Underwriter, in definitive form to the extent practicable, and in such authorized denominations and registered in such names as you may request upon at least forty-eight hours' prior notice to the Company, shall be delivered by or on behalf of the Company to you, for the account of such Underwriter, against payment by such Underwriter or on its behalf of the purchase price therefor by certified or official bank check or checks, payable to the order of the Company or, if so requested by the Company, by wire transfer to a bank account designated by the Company in the funds specified in Schedule B. The place, time and date of delivery of and payment for Firm Shares and Optional Shares shall be as specified in Schedule B or at such other place, time and date as you and the Company may agree upon in writing. Such time and date for delivery of Firm Shares is herein called the "First Closing Date", such time and date for delivery of Optional Shares, if not the First Closing Date, is herein called the "Second Closing Date", and each such time and date is herein called the "Closing Date".]

It is understood that you, acting individually and not in a representative capacity, may (but shall not be obligated to) make payment to the Company on behalf of any other Underwriter for Securities to be purchased by such Underwriter. Any such payment by you shall not relieve any such Underwriter of any of its obligations hereunder.

On the Closing Date, the Company will pay to you, for the account of each Underwriter, any commission or other compensation that is specified in Schedule B hereto. Unless otherwise specified in Schedule B, such payment will be made by certified or official bank check in New York Clearing House (next day) funds.

4. Covenants. The Company covenants and agrees with each Underwriter that:

(a) The Company will cause the Prospectus Supplement to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 under the Act not later than the Commission's close of business on the second business day following the execution and delivery of this Agreement, or, if applicable, such earlier time as may be required by Rule 424(b) and will notify you promptly of such filing. During the period in which a prospectus relating to the Securities is required to be delivered under the Act, the Company will notify you promptly of the time when any amendment to the Registration Statement has become effective or any subsequent supplement to the Prospectus has been filed and of any request by the Commission for any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or Prospectus or for additional information; it will file no amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or Prospectus (other than any prospectus supplement relating to the offering of other securities registered under the Registration Statement or any document required to be filed under the Exchange Act that upon filing is deemed to be incorporated by reference therein) to which you shall reasonably object by notice to the Company after having been furnished a copy a reasonable time prior to the filing; and it will furnish to you at or prior to the filing thereof a copy of any such prospectus supplement or any document that upon filing is deemed to be incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement or Prospectus.

(b) The Company will advise you, promptly after it shall receive notice or obtain knowledge thereof, of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, of the suspension of the qualification of the Securities for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or of the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for any such purpose; and it will promptly use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or to obtain its withdrawal if such a stop order should be issued.

(c) Within the time during which a prospectus relating to the Securities is required to be delivered under the Act, the Company will comply as far as it is able with all requirements imposed upon it by the Act and the Rules and Regulations, as from time to time in force, so far as necessary to permit the continuance of sales of or dealings in the Securities as contemplated by the provisions hereof and the Prospectus. If during such period any event occurs as a result of which the Prospectus as then amended or supplemented would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances then existing, not misleading, or if during such period it is necessary to amend or supplement the Registration Statement or Prospectus to comply with the Act, the Company will promptly notify you and will amend or supplement the Registration Statement or Prospectus (at the expense of the Company) so as to correct such statement or omission or effect such compliance.

(d) The Company will use its best efforts to qualify the Securities [and any Common Stock into which any Securities are convertible] for sale under the securities laws of such jurisdictions as you reasonably designate and to continue such qualifications in effect so long as required for the distribution of the Securities, except that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith to qualify as a foreign corporation or to execute a general consent to service of process in any jurisdiction. The Company will also arrange for the determination of the eligibility for investment of the Securities under the laws of such jurisdictions as you reasonably request.

(e) The Company will furnish to the Underwriters copies of the Registration Statement, the Prospectus (including all documents incorporated by reference therein), and all amendments and supplements to the Registration Statement or Prospectus that are filed with the Commission during the period in which a prospectus relating to the Securities is required to be delivered under the Act (including all documents filed with the Commission during such period that are deemed to be incorporated by reference therein), in each case in such quantities as you may from time to time reasonably request.

(f) The Company will make generally available to its security holders as soon as practicable, an earnings statement or statements of the Company which will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Act and Rule 158 under the Act.

(g) The Company, whether or not the transactions contemplated hereunder are consummated or this Agreement is terminated, will pay all expenses incident to the performance of its obligations hereunder, will pay the expenses of printing all documents relating to the offering, [the cost of preparing any certificates and representing the Securities [and any Common Stock into which the Securities are convertible], and the cost and charges of any transfer agent or registrar or dividend disbursing agent,] and will reimburse the Underwriters for any expenses
(including fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred by them in connection with the matters referred to in Section 4(d) hereof and the preparation of memoranda relating thereto [and for any fees charged by investment rating agencies for rating the Securities]. If the sale of Securities to be purchased by the several Underwriters as provided for herein is not consummated by reason of any failure, refusal or inability on the part of the Company to perform any agreement on its part to be performed, or because any other condition of the Underwriters' obligations hereunder required to be fulfilled by the Company is not fulfilled, the Company will reimburse the Underwriters for all reasonable out-of-pocket disbursements (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred by the Underwriters in connection with their investigation, preparing to market and marketing the Securities or in contemplation of performing their obligations hereunder. The Company shall not in any event be liable to any of the Underwriters for loss of anticipated profits from the transactions covered by this Agreement.

(h) The Company will apply the net proceeds from the sale of the Securities as set forth in the Prospectus.

(i) The Company will not offer or sell, or determine to offer or sell, any securities that are substantially similar to the Securities
(except under prior contractual commitments) during the period ending 20 business days after the date of this Agreement without your prior consent.

5. Conditions of Underwriters' Obligations. The obligations of the several Underwriters to purchase and pay for Securities as provided herein shall be subject to the accuracy, as of the date hereof and the [applicable] Closing Date (as if made at such Closing Date), of the representations and warranties of the Company herein, to the performance by the Company of its obligations hereunder and to the following additional conditions:

(a) No stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement shall

have been issued and no proceeding for that purpose shall have been instituted or, to the knowledge of the Company or any Underwriter, threatened by the Commission, and any request of the Commission for additional information (to be included in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or otherwise) shall have been complied with to your satisfaction.

(b) Except as contemplated in the Prospectus, subsequent to the respective dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, there shall not have been any change, on a consolidated basis, in the capital stock or short-term debt and long- term debt of the Company and its subsidiaries, or any adverse change, or any development involving a prospective adverse change, in the condition (financial or other), business, prospects, net worth or results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries, that, in your judgment, makes it impractical or inadvisable to offer or deliver the Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Prospectus.

(c) On or after the date of this Agreement
(i) no downgrading shall have occurred in the rating accorded the Company's [debt] [equity] securities by any "nationally recognized statistical rating organization," as that term is defined by the Commission for purposes of Rule 436(g)(2) under the Act and (ii) no such organization shall have publicly announced that it has under surveillance or review, with possible negative implications, its rating of any of the Company's [debt] [equity] securities.

(d) You shall have received the opinion of Mudge Rose Guthrie Alexander & Ferdon, counsel for the Company, dated such Closing Date, to the effect that:

(i) The Company has been duly incorporated and is an existing corporation in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation, has full corporate power and authority to conduct its business as described in the Registration Statement and Prospectus and is duly qualified to do business in each jurisdiction in which it owns or leases real property or in which the conduct of its business requires such qualification, except where the failure to be so qualified, considering all such cases in the aggregate, does not involve a material adverse effect upon the financial position, or results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole;

(ii) [If debt securities: The Indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and duly

qualified under the Trust Indenture Act; the Securities purchased by the Underwriters and paid for as provided herein have been duly authorized, executed, authenticated, issued, and delivered in the manner provided in the Indenture, and the Indenture and the Securities constitute, and any Contract Securities, when executed, authenticated, issued, and delivered in the manner provided in the Indenture and the Delayed Delivery Contracts against payment therefor will constitute, valid and legally binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject, as to enforcement, to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors' rights and to general equity principles; and as to any Convertible Securities purchased by the Underwriters or any Contract Securities which are convertible into Common Stock ("Convertible Contract Securities"), such Convertible Securities are, and such Convertible Contract Securities, when executed, authenticated, issued, and delivered in the manner provided in the Indenture and the Delayed Delivery Contracts will be, convertible into Common Stock of the Company in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, the shares of Common Stock initially issuable upon conversion of any Convertible Securities have been duly authorized and reserved for issuance upon such conversion, and, when so issued, will be validly issued, fully paid and non- assessable; and the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company have been duly authorized and validly issued, are fully paid and non-assessable and conform to the description thereof in the Prospectus, and the shareholders of the Company have no preemptive rights with respect to the Securities or the Common Stock;]

(vi) The descriptions in the Registration Statement and Prospectus of statutes, legal and governmental proceedings, contracts and other documents are accurate and fairly present the information required to be shown; and such counsel do not know of any statutes or legal or governmental proceedings required to be described in the Prospectus that are not described as required, or, to such counsel's knowledge, of any contracts or documents of a character required to be described in the Registration Statement or Prospectus (or required to be filed under the Exchange Act if upon such filing they would be incorporated by reference therein) or to be filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement that are not described and filed as required;

(vii) This Agreement [and any Delayed Delivery Contracts] have been duly authorized, executed, and delivered by the Company;

(viii) The performance of this Agreement [and any Delayed Delivery Contracts] and the consummation of the transactions herein [and therein] contemplated will not result in a breach or violation of any of the terms and provisions of, or constitute a default under, any statute, agreement, or instrument known to such counsel to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound or to which any of the property of the Company is subject, the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, or By-laws, or any order, rule, or regulation known to such counsel of any court or governmental agency or body having jurisdiction over the Company or any of its properties; and no consent, approval, authorization, or order of, or filing with, any court or governmental agency or body is required for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in connection

with the issuance or sale of the Securities by the Company, except such as have been obtained under the Act [and the Trust Indenture Act] and such as may be required under state securities laws in connection with the purchase and distribution of the Securities by the Underwriters; and

(ix) Each part of the registration statement, when such part became effective, complied, and the Registration Statement and the Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto comply, as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the Act, [the Trust Indenture Act,] and the Rules and Regulations; such counsel shall also state that although such counsel is not passing upon or assuming any responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained in the registration statement, the Prospectus or the Prospectus Supplement, other than those mentioned in subsection (d)(vi) of this
Section 5, nothing which has come to the attention of such counsel has caused them to believe that either any part of the registration statement, when such part became effective, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or that the Prospectus, on the date of the Prospectus Supplement, or the Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto, on the date of any such amendment or supplement or on the Closing Date, included an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and the documents incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, when they became effective under the Act or were filed with the Commission under the Exchange Act, as the case may be, complied as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the Act or the Exchange Act, as applicable, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder; it being understood that such counsel need express no opinion as to the financial statements or other financial or statistical data included in any of the documents mentioned in this clause [, or as to the statement of eligibility of the Trustee on Form T-1];

In rendering their opinion, Mudge Rose Guthrie Alexander & Ferdon may rely as to all matters relating to the due qualification of the Company to do business as a foreign corporation upon the opinion of Paul C. Coppock, Esq., General Counsel of the Company.

(e) You shall have received from counsel for the Underwriters such opinion or opinions, dated such Closing Date, with respect to the incorporation of the Company, the validity of the Securities, the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, and other related matters as you reasonably may request, and such counsel shall have received such papers and information as they reasonably request to enable them to pass upon such matters.

(f) You shall have received a letter from the Company's independent certified public accountants, dated such Closing Date, to the effect set forth in Exhibit II hereto.

(g) You shall have received from the Company a certificate, signed by the Chairman of the Board, the President or a Vice President, and by the principal financial or accounting officer, of the Company, dated such Closing Date, to the effect that, to the best of their knowledge based upon reasonable investigation:

(i) The representations and warranties of the Company in this Agreement are true and correct, as if made at and as of such Closing Date, and the Company has complied with all the agreements and satisfied all the conditions on its part to be performed or satisfied at or prior to such Closing Date;

(ii) No stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued, and no proceeding for that purpose has been instituted or is threatened, by the Commission; and

(iii) Subsequent to the date of the most recent financial statements in the Prospectus, there has been no material adverse change in the financial position or results of operation of the Company and its subsidiaries except as set forth in or contemplated by the Prospectus or as described in such certificate.

(h) The Company shall have furnished to you such further certificates and documents as you shall have reasonably requested.

All such opinions, certificates, letters and other documents will be in compliance with the provisions hereof only if they are reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to you. The Company will furnish you with such conformed copies of such opinions, certificates, letters and other documents as you shall reasonably request.

6. Indemnification and Contribution. (a) The Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter against any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Underwriter may become subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any part of the registration statement when such part became effective, or in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse each Underwriter for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by it in connection with investigating or defending against such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by you, or by any Underwriter through you, specifically for use in the preparation thereof.

(b) Each Underwriter will indemnify and hold harmless the Company against any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities to which the Company may become subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any part of the registration statement when such part became effective, or in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by you, or by such Underwriter through you, specifically for use in the preparation thereof, and will reimburse the Company for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company in connection with investigating or defending against any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action.

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under such subsection, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under such subsection. In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party, and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in, and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under such subsection for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation.

(d) If the indemnification provided for in this
Section 6 is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a) or
(b) above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in subsection (a) or (b) above, (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other from the offering of the Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total proceeds from the offering of the Securities (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the total compensation or profit (before deducting expenses) received or realized by the Underwriters from the purchase and resale, or underwriting, of the Securities. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or the Underwriters and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this subsection (d) were to be determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the first sentence of this subsection (d). The amount paid by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in the first sentence of this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending against any action or claim that is the subject of this subsection (d). Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (d), no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Securities underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages that such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters' obligations in this subsection (d) to contribute are several in proportion to their respective underwriting obligations and not joint.

(e) The obligations of the Company under this
Section 6 shall be in addition to any liability that the Company may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of the Act or the Exchange Act; and the obligations of the Underwriters under this Section 6 shall be in addition to any liability that the respective Underwriters may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each director of the Company (including any person who, with his consent, is named in the Registration Statement as about to become a director of the Company), to each officer of the Company who has signed the Registration Statement and to each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Act or the Exchange Act.

7. Representations and Agreements to Survive Delivery. All representations, warranties, and agreements of the Company herein or in certificates delivered pursuant hereto, and the agreements of the several Underwriters contained in Section 6 hereof, shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or any controlling persons, or the Company or any of its officers, directors or any controlling persons, and shall survive delivery of and payment for the Securities.

8. Substitution of Underwriters. (a) If any Underwriter or Underwriters shall fail to take up and pay for the amount of Securities agreed by such Underwriter or Underwriters to be purchased hereunder, upon tender of such Securities in accordance with the terms hereof, and the amount of Securities not purchased does not aggregate more than 10% of the total amount of Securities set forth in Schedule A hereto, the remaining Underwriters shall be obligated to take up and pay for (in proportion to their respective underwriting obligations hereunder as set forth in Schedule A hereto except as may otherwise be determined by you) the Securities that the withdrawing or defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase.

(b) If any Underwriter or Underwriters shall fail to take up and pay for the amount of Securities agreed by such Underwriter or Underwriters to be purchased hereunder, upon tender of such Securities in accordance with the terms hereof, and the amount of Securities not purchased aggregates more than 10% of the total amount of Securities set forth in Schedule A hereto, and arrangements satisfactory to you and the Company for the purchase of such Securities by other persons are not made within 36 hours thereafter, this Agreement shall terminate. In the event of any such termination the Company shall not be under any liability to any Underwriter (except to the extent provided in Section 4(g) and Section 6 hereof) nor shall any Underwriter (other than an Underwriter who shall have failed, otherwise than for some reason permitted under this Agreement, to purchase the amount of Securities agreed by such Underwriter to be purchased hereunder) be under any liability to the Company (except to the extent provided in Section 6 hereof).

9. Termination. You shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by giving notice as hereinafter specified at any time at or prior to the Closing Date if (i) the Company shall have failed, refused, or been unable, at or prior to the Closing Date, to perform any agreement on its part to be performed hereunder, (ii) any other condition of the Underwriters' obligations hereunder is not fulfilled,

Any such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except that the provisions of Section 4(g) and Section 6 hereof shall at all times be effective. If you elect to terminate this Agreement as provided in this Section, the Company shall be notified promptly by you by telephone or telecopy and confirmed by letter.

conversion or the method by which the same shall be determined; and

(h) the other special rights, if any, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, of the shares of such series.

The Board of Directors shall fix the terms of each such series by resolution or resolutions adopted at any time prior to the issuance of the shares thereof, and the terms of each such series may, subject only to restrictions, if any, imposed by applicable law, vary from the terms of other series to the extent determined by the Board of Directors from time to time and provided in the resolution or resolutions fixing the terms of the respective series of the Preferred Stock.

The Board of Directors is also hereby expressly granted authority, at any time or from time to time, by resolution or resolutions, within the then total authorized number of shares of the Preferred Stock of all series, to increase the authorized number of shares of any series or of any Preferred Stock which is not part of a then existing series and to establish or re-establish any authorized or unissued shares of Preferred Stock as shares of any series or as Preferred Stock which is not part of any then existing series.

Division B. Common Stock

3. Dividends - Out of the assets of this Corporation available for dividends, remaining after full satisfaction of the applicable preferential rights, if any, of holders of outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, in accordance with the provisions of any certificate or certificates setting forth the resolutions fixing the terms of series of the Preferred Stock and after making such provision, if any, as the Board of Directors may, in its discretion, deem necessary for working capital and reserves or for compliance with any other terms of any series of the Preferred Stock, then, and not otherwise, dividends may be declared and paid upon the Common Stock, to the exclusion of the Preferred Stock.

4. Purchases - Subject to any applicable provisions of any certificate or certificates setting forth the resolutions fixing the terms of any series of the Preferred Stock, this Corporation may at any time or from time to time purchase shares of its Common Stock in any manner now or hereafter permitted by law, publicly or privately, or pursuant to any agreement.

Without limiting in any way the generality of the foregoing, shares of any class of stock of this Corporation or of any series of any class may be issued in exchange for and upon surrender of outstanding shares of any other class or series upon such basis as the Board of Directors may at any time or from time to time determine and all shares so issued shall be and be taken to be full-paid and non-assessable and not liable to any further call, subject to the provisions of paragraph 8 below.

8. Exchange or Conversion of Shares - If any shares of stock of this Corporation are at any time issued in exchange for or upon conversion of outstanding shares of another class or series, the capital of this Corporation in respect of the shares surrendered for exchange or conversion immediately prior to such issue, or deemed by the Board of Directors to be applicable to said shares, shall thereupon and in each case, without effecting a reduction of the capital of this Corporation, be and be deemed to be allocated to the shares so issued or, if shares of more than one series or class of stock be so issued, to be allocated between the shares of the series or classes so issued as may be determined by the Board of Directors; provided that, if any shares so issued be shares with par value, the amount to be allocated to them shall be at least equal to the aggregate par value of such shares and, if the shares so issued be shares with a par value and also shares without par value, the amount to be allocated to them in the aggregate shall exceed the aggregate par value of said shares

with par value. Nothing herein shall prevent the taking of any action at any time or from time to time with respect to the capital of this Corporation, however such capital shall then be allocated, or whether to increase or decrease the same with respect to any class or classes, or otherwise, in any manner or to any extent now or hereafter permitted by law.

9. Fractional Shares - Fractions of shares resulting from any exchange or conversion of outstanding shares of stock of this Corporation may, in the discretion of the Board of Directors, be disregarded in whole or part, to be provided for in cash or be represented by scrip certificates containing such terms and conditions (including without limitation and if deemed advisable non- voting and non-dividend bearing provisions and authority for the sale of fractions of shares represented by such scrip certificates for account of the holders thereof) as the Board of Directors may fix and determine.

RESOLVED, that pursuant to the authority vested in the Board of Directors of this Corporation in accordance with the provisions of its Restated Certificate of Incorporation, a series of Cumulative Preferred Stock of the Corporation be and it hereby is created, and that the designation and amount thereof and the voting powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional and other special rights of the shares of such series, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof are as follows:

Section 1. Designation and Amount. The shares of such series shall be designated as "Series A Junior Participating Cumulative Preferred Stock" and the number of shares constituting such series shall be 400,000.

Section 2. Dividends and Distributions.

(A) Subject to the prior and superior rights of the holders of any shares of any series of Preferred Stock ranking prior and superior to the shares of Series A Junior Participating Cumulative Preferred Stock with respect to dividends or distributions, the holders of shares of Series A Junior Participating Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available for the purpose, quarterly dividends payable in cash on the fifteenth day of February, May, August and November in each year (each such date being referred to herein as a "Quarterly Dividend Payment Date"), commencing on the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date after the

first issuance of a share or fraction of a share of Series A Junior Participating Cumulative Preferred Stock, in an amount per share (rounded to the nearest cent) equal to the greater of (a) $5.00 or (b) subject to the provision for adjustment hereinafter set forth, 100 times the aggregate per share amount of all cash dividends, and 100 times the aggregate per share amount (payable in kind) of all non-cash dividends or other distributions other than a dividend payable in shares of Common Stock or a subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise), declared on the Common Stock, par value $1.25 per share, of the Corporation (the "Common Stock") since the immediately preceding Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, or, with respect to the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, since the first issuance of any share or fraction of a share of Series A Junior Participating Cumulative Preferred Stock. In the event the Corporation shall at any time after September 29, 1987 (the "Rights Declaration Date") (i) declare any dividend on Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide the outstanding Common Stock, or (iii) combine the outstanding Common Stock into a small number of shares, then in each such case the amount to which holders of shares of Series A Junior Participating Cumulative Preferred Stock were entitled immediately prior to such event under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall be adjusted by multiplying such amount by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to such event.

(B) The Corporation shall declare a dividend or distribution on the Series A Junior Participating Cumulative Preferred Stock as provided in paragraph (A) above immediately after it declares a dividend or distribution on the Common Stock (other than a dividend payable in shares of Common Stock); provided that, in the event no dividend or distribution shall have been declared on the Common Stock during the period between any Quarterly Dividend Payment Date and the next subsequent Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, a dividend of $5.00 per share on the Series A Junior Participating Cumulative Preferred Stock shall nevertheless be payable on such subsequent Quarterly Dividend Payment Date.

(C) Dividends shall begin to accrue and be cumulative on outstanding shares of Series A Junior Participating Cumulative Preferred Stock from the Quarterly Dividend Payment Date next preceding the date of issue of such shares of Series A Junior Participating Cumulative Preferred Stock, unless the date of issue of such shares is prior to the record date for the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, in which case dividends on such shares shall begin to accrue from the date of issue of such shares, or unless the date of issue is a Quarterly Dividend Payment Date or is a date after the record date for determination of holders of shares of Series A Junior

Participating Cumulative Preferred Stock entitled to receive a quarterly dividend and before such Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, in either of which events such dividends shall begin to accrue and be cumulative from such Quarterly Dividend Payment Date. Accrued but unpaid dividends shall not bear interest. Dividends paid on the shares of Series A Junior Participating Cumulative Preferred Stock in an amount less than the total amount of such dividends at the time accrued and payable on such shares shall be allocated pro rata on a share-by-share basis among all such shares at the time outstanding. The Board of Directors may fix a record date for the determination of holders of shares of Series A Junior Participating Cumulative Preferred Stock entitled to receive payment of a dividend or distribution declared thereon, which record date shall be no more than 45 days prior to the date fixed for the payment thereof.

Section 3. Voting Rights. In addition to the voting rights set forth in Article FOURTH of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation or otherwise required by law, the holders of shares of Series A Junior Participating Cumulative Preferred Stock shall have the following voting rights:

(A) Subject to the provision for adjustment hereinafter set forth, each share of Series A Junior Participating Cumulative Preferred Stock shall entitle the holder thereof to 100 votes on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the Corporation. In the event the Corporation shall at any time after the Rights Declaration Date (i) declare any dividend on Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide the outstanding Common Stock, or
(iii) combine the outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the number of votes per share to which holders of shares of Series A Junior Participating Cumulative Preferred Stock were entitled immediately prior to such event shall be adjusted by multiplying such number by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to such event.

(B) Except as otherwise provided herein or by law, the holders of shares of Series A Junior Participating Cumulative Preferred Stock and the holders of shares of Common Stock shall vote together as one class on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders of the Corporation.

(C) (i) If at any time dividends on any Series A Junior Participating Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be in arrears in an amount equal to six (6) quarterly dividends thereon, the occurrence of such contingency shall mark the beginning of a period (herein called a "default period") which shall extend until such time when all accrued and unpaid dividends for all previous quarterly dividend periods and for the current quarterly

dividend period on all shares of Series A Junior Participating Cumulative Preferred Stock then outstanding shall have been declared and paid or set apart for payment. During each default period, all holders of Cumulative Preferred Stock (including holders of the Series A Junior Participating Cumulative Preferred Stock) with dividends in arrears in an amount equal to six
(6) quarterly dividends thereon, voting as a class, irrespective of series, shall have the right to elect two (2) Directors.

(ii) During any default period, such voting right of the holders of Series A Junior Participating Cumulative Preferred Stock may be exercised initially at a special meeting called pursuant to subparagraph (iii) of this Section 3(C) or at any annual meeting of stockholders, and thereafter at annual meetings of Stockholders, provided that neither such voting right nor the right of the holders of any other series of Cumulative Preferred Stock, if any, to increase, in certain cases, the authorized number of Directors shall be exercised unless the holders of ten percent (10%) in number of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock outstanding shall be present in person or by proxy. The absence of a quorum of the holders of Common Stock shall not affect the exercise by the holders of Cumulative Preferred Stock of such voting right. At any meeting at which the holders of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall exercise such voting right initially during an existing default period, they shall have the right, voting as a class, to elect Directors to fill such vacancies, if any, in the Board of Directors as may then exist up to two
(2) Directors or, if such right is exercised at an annual meeting, to elect two (2) Directors. If the number which may be so elected at any special meeting does not amount to the required number, the holders of the Cumulative Preferred Stock shall have the right to make such increase in the number of Directors as shall be necessary to permit the election by them of the required number. After the holders of the Cumulative Preferred Stock shall have exercised their right to elect Directors in any default period and during the continuance of such period, the number of Directors shall not be increased or decreased except by vote of the holders of Cumulative Preferred Stock as herein provided or pursuant to the rights of any equity securities ranking senior to or pari passu with the Series A Junior Participating Cumulative Preferred Stock.

(iii) Unless the holders of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall, during an existing default period, have previously exercised their right to elect Directors, the Board of Directors may order, or any stockholder or stockholders owning in the aggregate not less than ten percent (10%) of the total number of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock outstanding, irrespective of

series, may request, the calling of a special meeting of the holders of Cumulative Preferred Stock, which meeting shall thereupon be called by the President, a Vice-President or the Secretary of the Corporation. Notice of such meeting and of any annual meeting at which holders of Cumulative Preferred Stock are entitled to vote pursuant to this paragraph (C) (iii) shall be given to each holder of record of Cumulative Preferred Stock by mailing a copy of such notice to him at his last address as the same appears on the books of the Corporation. Such meeting shall be called for a time not earlier than 20 days and not later than 60 days after such order or request or in default of the calling of such meeting within 60 days after such order or request, such meeting may be called on similar notice by any stockholder or stockholders owning in the aggregate not less than ten percent (10%) of the total number of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock outstanding. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph (C) (iii), no such special meeting shall be called during the period within 60 days immediately preceding the date fixed for the next annual meeting of the stockholders.

(iv) in any default period, the holders of Common Stock, and other classes of stock of the Corporation if applicable, shall continue to be entitled to elect the whole number of Directors until the holders of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall have exercised their right to elect two (2) Directors voting as a class, after the exercise of which right (x) the Directors so elected by the holders of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall continue in office until their successors shall have been elected by such holders or until the expiration of the default period, and (y) any vacancy in the Board of Directors may (except as provided in paragraph (C) (ii) of this Section
(3) be filled by vote of a majority of the remaining Directors theretofore elected by the holders of the class of stock which elected the Director whose office shall have become vacant. References in this paragraph (C) to Directors elected by the holders of a particular class of stock shall include Directors elected by such Directors to fill vacancies as provided in clause
(y) of the foregoing sentence.

(v) Immediately upon the expiration of a default period, (x) the right of the holders of Cumulative Preferred Stock as a class to elect Directors shall cease, (y) the term of any Directors elected by the holders of Cumulative Preferred Stock as a class shall terminate, and
(z) the number of Directors shall be such number as may be provided for in the certificate of incorporation or by-laws irrespective of any increase made pursuant to the provisions of paragraph (C) (ii) of this Section 3 (such number being subject, however, to change thereafter in

any manner provided by law or in the certificate of incorporation or by-laws). Any vacancies in the Board of Directors effected by the provisions of clauses (y) and (z) in the preceding sentence may be filled by a majority of the remaining Directors.

(D) Except as set forth herein, holders of Series A Junior Participating Cumulative Preferred Stock shall have no special voting rights and their consent shall not be required (except to the extent they are entitled to vote with holders of Common Stock as set forth herein) for taking any corporate action.

Section 4. Reacquired Shares. Any shares of Series A Junior Participating Cumulative Preferred Stock purchased or other-wise acquired by the Corporation in any manner whatsoever shall be retired and cancelled promptly after the acquisition thereof. All such shares shall upon their cancellation become authorized but unissued shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock and may be reissued as part of a new series of Cumulative Preferred Stock to be created by resolution or resolutions of the Board of Directors, subject to the conditions and restrictions on issuance set forth herein.

Section 5. Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up.

(A) Upon any voluntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, no distribution shall be made to the holders of shares of stock ranking (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) junior to the Series A Junior Participating Cumulative Preferred Stock unless, prior thereto, the holders of shares of Series A Junior Participating Cumulative Preferred Stock shall have received $150 per share, plus an amount equal to accrued and unpaid dividends and distributions thereon, whether or not declared, to the date of such payment (the "Series A Liquidation Preference"). Following the payment of the full amount of the Series A Liquidation Preference, no additional distributions shall be made to the holders of shares of Series A Junior Participating Cumulative Preferred Stock unless, prior thereto, the holders of shares of Common Stock shall have received an amount per share (the "Common Adjustment") equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the Series A Liquidation Preference by (ii) 100 (as appropriately adjusted as set forth in subparagraph C below to reflect such events as stock splits, stock dividends and recapitalizations with respect to the Common Stock) (such number in clause (ii), the "Adjustment Number"). Following the payment of the full amount of the Series A Liquidation Preference and the Common Adjustment in respect of all outstanding shares of Series A Junior Participating Cumulative Preferred Stock and Common Stock, respectively, holders of Series A Junior Participating Cumulative Preferred Stock and holders of shares of Common Stock shall receive their ratable and proportionate share of the

remaining assets to be distributed in the ratio of the Adjustment Number to l with respect to such Cumulative Preferred Stock and Common Stock, on a per share basis, respectively.

(B) In the event, however, that there are not sufficient assets available to permit payment in full of the Series A Liquidation Preference and the liquidation preferences of all other series of Cumulative Preferred Stock, if any, which rank on a parity with the Series A Junior Participating Cumulative Preferred Stock, then such remaining assets shall be distributed ratably to the holders of such parity shares in proportion to their respective liquidation preferences. In the event, however, that there are not sufficient assets available to permit payment in full of the Common Adjustment, then such remaining assets shall be distributed ratably to the holders of Common Stock.

(C) In the event the Corporation shall at any time after the Rights Declaration Date (i) declare any dividend on Common Stock payable in shares of Common stock, (ii) subdivide the outstanding Common Stock, or
(iii) combine the outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the Adjustment Number in effect immediately prior to such event shall be adjusted by multiplying such Adjustment Number by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to such event.

Section 6. Consolidation, Merger, etc. In case the Corporation shall enter into any consolidation, merger, combination or other transaction in which the shares of Common Stock are exchanged for or changed into other stock or securities, cash and/or any other property, then in any such case the shares of Series A Junior Participating Cumulative Preferred Stock shall at the same time be similarly exchanged or changed in an amount per share (subject to the provision for adjustment hereinafter set forth) equal to 100 times the aggregate amount of stock, securities, cash and/or any other property (payable in kind), as the case may be, into which or for which each share of Common Stock is changed or exchanged. In the event the Corporation shall at any time after the Rights Declaration Date
(i) declare any dividend on Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide the outstanding Common Stock, or (iii) combine the outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the amount set forth in the preceding sentence with respect to the exchange or change of shares of Series A Junior Participating Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be adjusted by multiplying such amount by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to such event.

Section 7. No Redemption. The shares of Series A Junior Participating Cumulative Preferred Stock shall not be redeemable.

Section 8. Ranking. The Series A Junior Participating Cumulative Preferred Stock shall rank junior to all other series of the Corporation' s preferred stock as to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets.

Section 9. Amendment. The Restated Certificate of incorporation of the Corporation shall not be further amended in any manner which would materially alter or change the powers, preferences or special rights of the Series A Junior Participating Cumulative Preferred Stock so as to affect them adversely without the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority or more of the outstanding shares of Series A Junior Participating Cumulative Preferred Stock, voting separately as a class.

Section 10. Fractional Shares. Series A Junior Participating Cumulative Preferred Stock may be issued in fractions of a share which shall entitle the holder, in proportion to such holder's fractional shares, to exercise voting rights, receive dividends, participate in distributions and to have the benefit of all other rights of holders of Series A Junior Participating Cumulative Preferred Stock.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, we have executed and subscribed this Certificate and do affirm the foregoing as true under the penalties of perjury this 29th day of September, 1987.

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, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which his certificate or opinion is based 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.

(a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Company. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the "Act" of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 601) conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Company, if made in the manner provided in this Section.

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

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

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

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

SECTION 105. Notices, Etc., to Trustee and Company.

Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Holders or other document provided or permitted by this Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished to, or delivered 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 450 West 33rd Street, New York, New York 10001, Attention:
Corporate Trust Administration, or at any other address previously furnished in writing to the Company by the Trustee, or, in the case of a successor 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 the address of its principal office specified in the first paragraph of this instrument or at any other address previously furnished in writing to the Trustee by the Company.

SECTION 106. 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. Any notice mailed to a Holder in the aforesaid manner shall be conclusively deemed to have been received by such Holder whether or not actually received by such Holder. Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.

In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to give such notice 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 107. Conflict with Trust Indenture Act.

If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with a provision of the Trust Indenture Act that is required under such Act to be a part of and govern this Indenture, the latter provision shall control. If any provision of this Indenture modifies or excludes any provision of the Trust Indenture Act that may be so modified or excluded, the latter provision shall be deemed to apply to this Indenture as so modified or to be excluded, as the case may be.

SECTION 108. Effect of Headings and Table of Contents.

The Article and Section headings herein and the

Table of Contents are for convenience only and shall
not affect the construction hereof.

SECTION 109.  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 110.  Separability Clause.

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

SECTION 111. Benefits of Indenture.

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

SECTION 112. Governing Law.

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

SECTION 113. Legal Holidays.

In any case where any Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated Maturity of any Security or, if applicable, the last date on which a Holder has the right to convert its Securities shall not be a Business Day at any Place of Payment, then (notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or of the Securities (other than a provision of the Securities of any series which specifically states that such provision shall apply in lieu of this Section)) payment of interest or principal (and premium, if any) or conversion of such Securities need not be made at such Place of Payment on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day at such Place of Payment with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date or Redemption Date, or at the Stated Maturity, or on the last day for such conversion, provided that no interest shall accrue for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated Maturity, as the case may be.

(13) whether the Securities will be convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock or any other shares of the capital stock or securities of the Company or any other Person and, if so, the terms and conditions upon which such conversion will be effected including the initial conversion price or rate, the conversion period and other provisions in addition to or in lieu of those described herein;

(14) any modification, amendment or addition to the covenants of the Company set forth in Article VII or Article X of this Indenture with respect to the Securities of the series;

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

In addition, in the case of any series after the first series of Securities authorized pursuant to this Indenture, there shall be delivered to the Trustee a certificate of the Company to the effect that no default under this Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto exists or is continuing.

All Securities of any one series shall be substantially identical except as to denomination and except as may otherwise be provided in or pursuant to such Board Resolution and set forth in such Officers' Certificate, or in any such indenture supplemental hereto.

At the option of the Company payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register.

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

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

SECTION 302. Denominations.

The Securities of each series shall be issuable in registered form without coupons in such denominations as shall be specified as contemplated by
Section 301. In the absence of any such provisions with respect to the Securities of any series, the Securities of such series shall be issuable in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof.

SECTION 303. Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating of Securities.

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

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

At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities of any series executed by the Company, to the Trustee for authentication, together with a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such Securities, and the Trustee in accordance with the Company Order shall authenticate and deliver such Securities. If all the Securities of any series are not to be issued at one time and if the Board Resolution or supplemental indenture establishing such series shall so permit, such Company Order may set forth procedures acceptable to the Trustee for the issuance of such Securities and determining terms of particular Securities of such series such as interest rate, maturity date, date of issuance and date from which interest shall accrue. If the form or terms of the Securities of the series have been established in or pursuant to one or more Board Resolutions, as permitted by Sections 201 and 301, in authenticating such Securities, and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Securities, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 601) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating:

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

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

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

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

Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 301 or this Section 303, if all Securities of a series are not to be originally issued at one time, it shall not be necessary to deliver the Officers' Certificate otherwise required pursuant to Section 301 or the Company Order and Opinion of Counsel otherwise required pursuant to such preceding paragraph at or prior to the time of authentication of each Security of such series if such documents are delivered at or prior to the authentication upon original issuance of the first Security of such series to be issued.

Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication.

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

SECTION 304. Temporary Securities.

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

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

SECTION 305. Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange.

The Company shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee a register (the register maintained in such office and in any other office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment being herein sometimes collectively referred to as the "Security Register") in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of Securities and of transfers of Securities. The Trustee is hereby appointed "Security Registrar" for the purpose of registering Securities and transfers of Securities as herein provided. In the event that the Trustee shall not be the Security Registrar, it shall have the right to examine the Security Register at all reasonable times.

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

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

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

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

No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 304, 906, 1107, or 1302 not involving any transfer.

The Company shall not be required (i) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange Securities of any series during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of Securities of that series selected for redemption under Section 1103 and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing, or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part.

Notwithstanding the foregoing and except as otherwise specified or contemplated by Section 301, any Book-Entry Security shall be exchangeable pursuant to this Section 305 or Sections 304, 906 and 1107 for Securities registered in the name of, and a transfer of a Book-Entry Security of any series may be registered to, any Person other than the Depository for such Security or its nominee only if (i) such Depository notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depository for such Book- Entry Security or if at any time such Depository ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (ii) the Company executes and delivers to the Trustee a Company Order that such Book-Entry Security shall be so exchangeable and the transfer thereof so registerable or (iii) there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of such series. Upon the occurrence in respect of any Book-Entry Security of any series of any one or more of the conditions specified in clauses (i), (ii) or
(iii) of the preceding sentence or such other conditions as may be specified as contemplated by
Section 301 for such series, such Book-Entry Security may be exchanged for Securities registered in the names of, and the transfer of such Book-Entry Security may be registered to, such Persons (including Persons other than the Depository with respect to such series and its nominees) as such Depository shall direct. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, any Security authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, any Book-Entry Security shall also be a Book- Entry Security and shall bear the legend specified in
Section 203 except for any Security which is not a Book-Entry Security authenticated and delivered in exchange for, or upon registration of transfer of, a Book-Entry Security pursuant to the preceding sentence.

SECTION 306. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities.

If any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a new Security of the same series and of like tenor and aggregate principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

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

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

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

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

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

SECTION 307. Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved.

Except as otherwise provided as contemplated by
Section 301 with respect to any series of Securities, Interest on any Security which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest.

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

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

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

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

In the case of any Security of any series which is converted after any Regular Record Date and on or prior to the next succeeding Interest Payment Date (other than any Security of a series whose Maturity is prior to such Interest Payment Date), interest whose Stated Maturity is on such Interest Payment Date shall be payable on such Interest Payment Date notwithstanding such conversion, and such interest
(whether or not punctually paid or duly provided for)
shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on such Regular Record Date. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the immediately preceding sentence, in the case of any Security of any series which is converted, interest whose Stated Maturity is after the date of conversion of such Security shall not be payable.

SECTION 308. Persons Deemed Owners.

Prior to due presentment of a 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 Security is registered as the owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of (and premium, if any) and (subject to Section 307) interest on such Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

SECTION 309. Cancellation.

All Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange or conversion or for credit against any sinking fund payment shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee and, if not already cancelled, shall be promptly cancelled by it. The Company may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and may deliver to the Trustee (or to any other Person for delivery to the Trustee) for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated hereunder which the Company has not issued and sold, and all Securities so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee. No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Securities cancelled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture and following the maturity of any series of Securities through acceleration or otherwise, any unissued Securities of such series shall be cancelled by the Trustee. The Trustee shall destroy all cancelled Securities and deliver a certificate of destruction to the Company.

SECTION 310. Computation of Interest.

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

SECTION 403. Covenant Defeasance of Securities of Any Series.

If this Section 403 is specified as contemplated by Section 301 to be applicable to the Securities of any series, then the Company shall cease to be under any obligation to comply with any term, provision or condition of any covenant specified as contemplated by
Section 301 with respect to Securities of any series at any time after the applicable conditions set forth below have been satisfied:

(1)(a) the Company shall have deposited or caused to be deposited irrevocably with the Trustee as trust funds in trust, specifically pledged as security for, and dedicated solely to, the benefit of the Holders of the Securities of such series
(i) money in the currency in which such Securities are payable in an amount, or (ii) U.S. Government Securities which through the payment of interest and principal in respect thereof in accordance with their terms will provide, not later than one day before the due date of any payment, money in the currency in which such Securities are payable in an amount, or (iii) a combination of (i) and (ii), sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay and discharge each installment of principal (including mandatory sinking fund payments) of, and premium (not relating to optional redemption), if any, and interest on, the Outstanding Securities of such series on the dates such installments of principal of, and premium (not relating to optional redemption), if any, or interest are due; or

(5) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the trust resulting from the deposit, defeasance and discharge under this Section 404 will not constitute, or is qualified as, a regulated investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940; and

(1) default in the payment of any interest upon any Security of that series when it becomes due and payable, and continuance of such default for a period of 30 days; or

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

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

(4) default in the performance, or breach, of any covenant, agreement or warranty of the Company in this Indenture (other than a covenant, agreement or warranty a default in the performance of which or the breach of which is elsewhere in this Section specifically dealt with or which has expressly been included in this Indenture solely for the benefit of series of Securities other than that series), and continuance of such default or breach for a period of 60 days after there has been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series a written notice specifying such default or breach and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice is a "Notice of Default" hereunder; or

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

SECTION 502. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.

If an Event of Default with respect to Outstanding Securities of any series at the time occurs and is continuing, then in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series may declare the principal amount (or, if the Securities of that series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of that series) of all of the Securities of that series to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal amount (or specified amount) shall become immediately due and payable.

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

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

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

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

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

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

The Company covenants that if

(1) default is made in the payment of any interest or mandatory sinking fund payment on any Security when such interest or mandatory sinking fund payment becomes due and payable and such default continues for a period of 30 days, or

(2) default is made in the payment (other than mandatory sinking fund payment) of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any Security at the Maturity thereof,

the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders of such Securities, the whole amount then due and payable on such Securities for principal (and premium, if any) and interest and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, interest on any overdue principal (and premium, if any) and on any overdue interest, at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities, and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and its counsel except compensation or advances arising or expenses or liabilities incurred as a result of the Trustee's negligence or bad faith.

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

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

SECTION 504. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

In case of the pendency of any receivership, liquidation proceedings, any voluntary or involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, or other similar law relative to the Company, or any other obligor upon the Securities or the property of the Company, or of such other obligor or their creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of the Securities shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand on the Company for the payment of overdue principal or interest) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise, to take any and all actions authorized under the Trust Indenture Act in order to have claims of the Holders and the Trustee allowed in any such proceeding. In particular, the Trustee shall be authorized to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and its counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 607.

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

SECTION 505. Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Securities

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

SECTION 506. Application of Money Collected.

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

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

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

THIRD: To the payment of any surplus then remaining to the Company, its successors or assigns or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same.

SECTION 507. Limitation on Suits.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Security shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and (subject to Section 307) interest on such Security on the Stated Maturity or Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on the Redemption Date) and, if such Security is convertible pursuant to Article XIII hereof, to convert such Security in accordance therewith and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.

SECTION 509. Restoration of Rights and Remedies.

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

SECTION 510. Rights and Remedies Cumulative.

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

SECTION 511. Delay or Omission Not Waiver.

No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Securities to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders 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.

SECTION 512. Control by Holders.

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

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

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

SECTION 513. Waiver of Past Defaults.

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

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

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

provided, however, that (subject to the provisions of
Section 601) the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee shall determine upon advice of counsel that the action or proceeding so directed may not lawfully be taken or if the Trustee in good faith by its board of directors or trustees, executive committee, or a trust committee of directors or trustees and/or Responsible Officers shall determine that the action or proceeding so directed would involve the Trustee in personal liability. The Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee not inconsistent with such direction.

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

SECTION 514. Undertaking for Costs.

All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Security by his acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may assess costs against any such party litigant, in the manner and to the extent provided in the Trust Indenture Act; provided that neither this Section nor the Trust Indenture Act shall be deemed to authorize any court to require such an undertaking or to make such an assessment in any suit instituted by the Company.

SECTION 515. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws.

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

ARTICLE VI

THE TRUSTEE

SECTION 601. Certain Duties and Responsibilities.

The duties and responsibilities of the Trustee shall be as provided by the Trust Indenture Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section.

SECTION 602. Notice of Defaults.

If a default occurs hereunder with respect to Securities of any series, the Trustee shall give the Holders of Securities of such series notice of such default as and to the extent provided by the Trust Indenture Act; provided, however, that in the case of any default of the character specified in Section 501(4) with respect to Securities of such series, no such notice to Holders shall be given until at least 60 days after the occurrence thereof. For the purpose of this Section, the term "default" means any event which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default with respect to Securities of such series.

SECTION 603. Certain Rights of Trustee.

Subject to the provisions of Section 601:

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

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

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

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

(e) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders pursuant to this Indenture, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction;

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

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

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

The recitals contained herein and in the Securities, except the Trustee's certificates of authentication shall be taken as the statements of the Company and the Trustee or any Authenticating Agent assumes no responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Securities. The Trustee or any Authenticating Agent shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Company of Securities or the proceeds thereof.

SECTION 605. May Hold Securities.

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

SECTION 606. Money Held in Trust.

Money held by the Trustee in trust hereunder need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. The Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any money received by it hereunder except as otherwise agreed with the Company. So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all interest allowed on any such moneys shall be paid from time to time upon the written order of the Company, signed by its President, any Vice President, its Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer.

SECTION 607. Compensation and Reimbursement.

The Company agrees:

(1) to pay to the Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation 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);

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

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

The obligations of the Company under this Section 607 to compensate the Trustee and to pay or reimburse the Trustee for expenses, disbursements and advances shall constitute additional indebtedness hereunder and shall survive satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. Such additional indebtedness shall be a senior claim on, and secured by a lien prior to that of the Securities upon, all property and funds held or collected by the Trustee as such, except funds held in trust for the benefit of the holders of particular Securities and the Securities are hereby subordinated to each senior claim.

SECTION 608. Disqualification; Conflicting Interests.

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 609. Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility.

There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder which shall be a Person that is eligible pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act to act as such and has a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000. If such Person publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of a supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such Person shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article.

SECTION 610. Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor.

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

(b) The Trustee may resign at any time with respect to the Securities of one or more series by giving written notice thereof to the Company. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by order of the Board of Directors, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and one copy to the successor trustee. If the instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee required by Section 611 shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series.

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

(d) If at any time:

(1) the Trustee shall fail to comply with
Section 608 after written request therefor by the Company or by any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months, or

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

(3) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting or an order for relief or similar decree shall be entered in respect of the Trustee under any applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or a receiver, custodian, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar official of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation,

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

(e) If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause, with respect to the Securities of one or more series, the Company, by a Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees with respect to the Securities of that or those series (it being understood that any such successor Trustee may be appointed with respect to the Securities of one or more or all of such series and that at any time there shall be only one Trustee with respect to the Securities of any particular series) and shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 611. If, within one year after such resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall be appointed by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series delivered to the Company and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 611, become the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and to that extent supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Company. If no successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall have been so appointed by the Company or the Holders and accepted appointment in the manner required by
Section 611, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of such series for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series.

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

SECTION 611. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor.

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

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

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

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

Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this Section 611, the Company shall mail notice of the succession of such trustee hereunder to the Holders of Securities at their addresses as they shall appear on the Security Register. If the Company fails to mail such notice within ten days after acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Company.

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

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

SECTION 613. Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company.

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

SECTION 614. Appointment of Authenticating Agent.

At any time when any of the Securities remain Outstanding the Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents with respect to one or more series of Securities which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Securities of such series issued upon original issue, exchange, registration of transfer, partial conversion, or partial redemption thereof or pursuant to Section 306, and original issue Securities so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Securities by the Trustee or the Trustee's certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Company and shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to act as Authenticating Agent, having a combined capital and surplus of not less than $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State authority. If such Authenticating Agent publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, such Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section.

Any corporation into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate agency or substantially all the corporate trust business of an Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be an Authenticating Agent, provided such corporation shall be otherwise eligible under this Section, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent.

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

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

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

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

ARTICLE VIII

CONSOLIDATION, MERGER, SALE OR CONVEYANCE

SECTION 801. Company May Consolidate, etc., on Certain Terms.

Subject to the provisions of Section 802, nothing contained in this Indenture or in any of the Securities shall prevent any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other corporation or corporations (whether or not affiliated with the Company), or successive consolidations or mergers in which the Company or its successor or successors shall be a party or parties, or shall prevent any sale, conveyance or lease of all or substantially all of the property of the Company to any other corporation
(whether or not affiliated with the Company)
authorized to acquire and operate the same; provided, however, and the Company hereby covenants and agrees, that any such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance or lease shall be upon the condition that (a) immediately after such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance or lease the corporation (whether the Company or such other corporation) formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger, or to which such sale, conveyance or lease shall have been made, shall not be in default in the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Indenture to be kept or performed by the Company; (b) the corporation (if other than the Company) formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger, or to which such sale, conveyance or lease shall have been made, shall be a corporation organized under the laws of the United States of America or any state thereof, and (c) the due and punctual payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on all of the Securities, according to their tenor, and the due and punctual performance and observance of all of the covenants and conditions of this Indenture to be performed or observed by the Company, shall be expressly assumed, by supplemental indenture satisfactory in form to the Trustee executed and delivered to the Trustee, by the corporation (if other than the Company) formed by such consolidation, or into which the Company shall have been merged, or by the corporation which shall have acquired or leased such property.

SECTION 802. Successor Corporation to Be Substituted.

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

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

SECTION 803. Opinion of Counsel to be Given Trustee.

The Trustee, subject to Sections 601 and 603, may receive an Opinion of Counsel as conclusive evidence that any such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance or lease and any such assumption complies with the provisions of this Article Eight.

(5) to change or eliminate any of the provisions of this Indenture, provided that any such change or elimination shall become effective only when there is no Security Outstanding of any series created prior to the execution of such supplemental indenture which is entitled to the benefit of such provision; or

(6) to secure the Securities; or

(7) to establish the form or terms of Securities of any series as permitted by Sections 201 and 301; or

SECTION 902. Supplemental Indentures with Consent of Holders.

(1) change the Stated Maturity of the principal of, or any instalment of principal of or interest on, any Security, or reduce the principal amount thereof or the rate of interest thereon or any premium payable upon the redemption thereof, or reduce the amount of the principal of an Original Issue Discount Security that would be due and payable upon a declaration of acceleration of the Maturity thereof pursuant to Section 502, or change any Place of Payment where, or the coin or currency in which, any Security or any premium or the interest thereon is payable, or impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after the Stated Maturity thereof (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date), or, if the Securities of any series are convertible in accordance with Article XIII, adversely affect the right to convert such Securities as provided therein (except as permitted by Section 901(8)), or

(2) modify the provisions of this Indenture with respect to the subordination of the Securities in a manner adverse to the Holders, or

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

(4) modify any of the provisions of this Section, Section 513 or Section 1005, except to increase any such percentage or to provide that certain other provisions of this Indenture cannot be modified or waived without the consent of the Holders of each Outstanding Security affected thereby, provided, however, that this clause shall not be deemed to require the consent of any Holder with respect to changes in the references to "the Trustee" and concomitant changes in this
Section and Section 1005, or the deletion of this proviso, in accordance with the requirements of Sections 611(b) and 901(8).

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

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

SECTION 903. Execution of Supplemental Indentures.

In executing, or accepting the additional trusts created by, any supplemental indenture permitted by this Article or the modifications thereby of the trusts created by this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 601) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture.

ARTICLE X

COVENANTS

SECTION 1001. Payment of Principal, Premium and Interest.

The Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of each series of Securities that it will duly and punctually pay the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Securities of that series in accordance with the terms of the Securities of that series and this Indenture. Each instalment of interest on the Securities may at the Company's option be paid by mailing checks for such interest payable to or upon the written order of the person entitled thereto pursuant to Section 307 hereof to the address of such person as it appears on the Security Register.

SECTION 1002. Maintenance of Office or Agency.

The Company will maintain in each Place of Payment for any series of Securities and, if the Trustee fails to maintain the agencies required pursuant to Section 615, the Company will also maintain an office or agency in The City of New York, where Securities of that series may be presented or surrendered for payment, where Securities of that series may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange, and, if applicable, where Securities of each series that is convertible pursuant to Article XIII may be surrendered for conversion and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities of that series and this Indenture may be served. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee at
[___________________________] and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands.

The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Securities of one or more series may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that, if the Trustee shall fail to maintain the agencies required pursuant to Section 615, no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in The City of New York for such purposes. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency.

The Company hereby designates as a Place of Payment for each series of Securities the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, and appoints the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office in such city as Paying Agent. The Company may designate other Places of Payment and other Paying Agents in the form of Security for any series.

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

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

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

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

(1) hold all sums held by it for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on 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) give the Trustee notice of any default by the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities of that series) in the making of any payment of principal (and premium, if any) or interest on the Securities of that series; and

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

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

Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company in trust for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on any Security 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 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; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be published once, in a newspaper published in the English language, customarily published on each Business Day and of general circulation in any Place of Payment with respect to such series of Securities, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company.

SECTION 1004. Statement as to Compliance.

The Company will deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, an Officers' Certificate, as to each signer thereof, that

(1) view of the activities of the Company during such year and of its performance under this Indenture has been made under the signer's supervision, and

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

SECTION 1005. Waiver of Certain Covenants.

The Company may omit in any particular instance to comply with any term, provision or condition of any covenant provided with respect to the Securities of any series as specified as contemplated by Section 301 (unless otherwise provided by the terms of such series), if before the time for such compliance the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series shall, by Act of such Holders, either waive such compliance in such instance or generally waive compliance with such term, provision or condition, but no such waiver shall extend to or affect such term, provision or condition except to the extent so expressly waived, and, until such waiver shall become effective, the obligations of the Company and the duties of the Trustee in respect of any such term, provision or condition shall remain in full force and effect.

ARTICLE XI

REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES

SECTION 1101. Applicability of Article.

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

SECTION 1102. Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee.

The election of the Company to redeem any Securities shall be evidenced by a Board Resolution. In case of any redemption at the election of the Company of less than all the Securities of any series, the Company shall, at least 60 days prior to the Redemption Date fixed by the Company (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the Trustee of such Redemption Date and of the principal amount of Securities of such series to be redeemed. In the case of any redemption of Securities prior to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided in the terms of such Securities or elsewhere in this Indenture, the Company shall furnish the Trustee with an Officers' Certificate evidencing compliance with such restriction.

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

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

If any Security of any series selected for partial redemption which is convertible in accordance with Article XIII is converted in part before termination of the conversion right with respect to the portion of the Security of that series so selected, the converted portion of such Security shall be deemed (so far as may be) to be the portion selected for redemption. Securities of any series which is convertible in accordance with Article XIII which have been converted during a selection of Securities of a series to be redeemed shall be treated by the Trustee as Outstanding for the purpose of such selection.

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

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

SECTION 1104. Notice of Redemption.

Notice of redemption shall be given by first- class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed, at his address appearing in the Security Register, but failure to give such notice by mailing in the manner herein provided to the Holder of any Securities designated for redemption as a whole or in part, or defect in the notice to any such Holder, shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other such Securities or portion thereof.

All notices of redemption shall state:

(1) the Redemption Date,

(2) the Redemption Price,

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

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

(5) if applicable, the conversion price, the date on which the right to convert the principal of the Securities to be redeemed will terminate and the place or places where such Securities may be surrendered for conversion,

(6) the place or places where such Securities are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price, and

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

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

SECTION 1105. Deposit of Redemption Price.

Prior to any Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 1003) an amount of money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of, and (except if the Redemption Date shall be an Interest Payment Date) accrued interest on, all the Securities which are to be redeemed on that date.

If any Security called for redemption is converted, any money deposited with the Trustee or with any Paying Agent or so segregated and held in trust for the redemption of such Security shall (subject to any right of the Holder of such Security or any Predecessor Security to receive interest as provided in the last paragraph of Section 307) be paid to the Company upon Company Request or, if then held by the Company, shall be discharged from such trust.

SECTION 1106. Securities Payable on Redemption Date.

Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Securities so to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Redemption Price therein specified, and from and after such date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest) such Securities shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any such Security for redemption in accordance with said notice, such Security shall be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price, together with accrued interest to the Redemption Date; provided, however, that, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, instalments of interest whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities, registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Record Dates according to their terms and the provisions of Section 305.

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

SECTION 1107. Securities Redeemed in Part.

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

ARTICLE XII

SINKING FUNDS

SECTION 1201. Applicability of Article.

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

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

SECTION 1202. Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments with Securities.

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

SECTION 1203. Redemption of Securities for Sinking Fund.

Not less than 60 days prior to each sinking fund payment date for any series of Securities, the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate specifying the amount of the next ensuing sinking fund payment for that series pursuant to the terms of that series, the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by payment of cash and the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting Securities of that series pursuant to
Section 1202 (which Securities will, if not previously delivered, accompany such Officers' Certificate), and stating whether the Company intends to exercise its right, if any, to make a permitted optional sinking fund payment with respect to such series. Not less than 45 days before each such sinking fund payment date the Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date in the manner specified in Section 1103 and cause notice of the redemption thereof to be given in the name of and at the expense of the Company in the manner provided in Section 1104. Such notice having been duly given, the redemption of such Securities shall be made upon the terms and in the manner stated in Sections 1106 and 1107.

ARTICLE XIII

CONVERSION OF SECURITIES

SECTION 1301. Applicability; Conversion Privilege and Conversion Price.

Securities of any series which are convertible into Common Stock of the Company shall be convertible in accordance with their terms and (except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for Securities of any series) in accordance with this Article.

Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this Article, at the option of the Holder thereof, any Security of any series or any portion of the principal amount thereof which is $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 may be converted at the principal amount thereof, or of such portion thereof, into fully paid and nonassessable shares (calculated as to each conversion to the nearest one-hundredth of a share) of Common Stock of the Company, at the Conversion Price, determined as hereinafter provided, in effect at the time of conversion. Such conversion right shall expire at the close of business on the date specified for Securities of such series. In case a Security or portion thereof is called for redemption, such conversion right in respect of the Security or portions so called shall expire at the close of business on the Redemption Date, unless the Company defaults in making the payment due upon redemption.

The price at which shares of Common Stock shall be delivered upon conversion (herein called the "Conversion Price") shall be the price specified in relation to Securities of such series pursuant to
Section 301. The Conversion Price shall be adjusted in certain instances as provided in paragraphs (1),
(2), (3), (4) and (7) of Section 1304.

SECTION 1302. Exercise of Conversion Privilege.

In order to exercise the conversion privilege, the Holder of any Security to be converted shall surrender such Security, together with the conversion notice duly executed, at any office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose pursuant to
Section 1002, accompanied by written notice to the Company at such office or agency that the Holder elects to convert such Security or, if less than the entire principal amount thereof is to be converted, the portion thereof to be converted. Securities or portions thereof surrendered for conversion during the period from the close of business on any Regular Record Date next preceding any Interest Payment Date to the opening of business on such Interest Payment Date shall (unless such Securities or portions thereof have been called for redemption on a Redemption Date within such period) be accompanied by payment to the Company or its order, in New York Clearing House funds or other funds acceptable to the Company, of an amount equal to the interest payable on such Interest Payment Date on the principal amount of Securities or portions thereof being surrendered for conversion. No payment or adjustment shall be made upon any conversion on account of any interest accrued on the Securities surrendered for conversion or, except as provided in
Section 1304, on account of any dividends on the Common Stock issued upon conversion.

Securities shall be deemed to have been converted immediately prior to the close of business on the day of surrender of such Securities for conversion in accordance with the foregoing provisions, and at such time the rights of the Holders of such Securities as Holders shall cease, and the Person or Persons entitled to receive the Common Stock issuable upon conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such Common Stock at such time. As promptly as practicable on or after the conversion date, the Company shall issue and shall deliver at such office or agency a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion, together with payment in lieu of any fraction of a share, as provided in
Section 1303.

In the case of any Security which is converted in part only, upon such conversion the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder thereof, at the expense of the Company, a new Security or Securities of authorized denominations in aggregate principal amount equal to the unconverted portion of the principal amount of such Security.

SECTION 1303. Fractions of Shares.

No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of Securities. If more than one Security shall be surrendered for conversion at one time by the same Holder, the number of full shares which shall be issuable upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities (or specified portions thereof) so surrendered. Instead of any fractional share of Common Stock which would otherwise be issuable upon conversion of any Security or Securities (or specified portions thereof), the Company shall pay a cash adjustment in respect of such fractions in an amount equal to the same fraction of the market price (determined as provided in the last sentence of paragraph (6) of Section 1304) at the close of business on the day of conversion.

SECTION 1304. Adjustment of Conversion Price.

(1) In case the Company shall pay or make a dividend or other distribution on any class of capital stock of the Company in Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination and the denominator shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination. For the purposes of this paragraph (1), the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company but shall include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock. The Company will not pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company.

(2) In case the Company shall issue rights or warrants to all holders of its Common Stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the current market price per share (determined as provided in paragraph (6) of this Section) of the Common Stock on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate of the offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock so offered for subscription or purchase would purchase at such market price and the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock so offered for subscription or purchase, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination. For the purposes of this paragraph (2), the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company but shall include shares issuable in respect of such certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock. The Company will not issue any rights or warrants in respect of shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company.

(3) In case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, and, conversely, in case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall each be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, such reduction or increase, as the case may be, to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination become effective.

(4) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including securities, but excluding any rights or warrants referred to in paragraph (2) of this Section, any dividend or distribution paid in cash out of the retained earnings of the Company and any dividend or distribution referred to in paragraph (1) of this Section), the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the current market price per share (determined as provided in paragraph (6) of this Section) of the Common Stock on the date fixed for such determination, reduced by the then fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution filed with the Trustee) of the portion of the assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock and the denominator shall be such market price per share of the Common Stock, such adjustment to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution.

(5) The reclassification of Common Stock into securities including other than Common Stock (other than any reclassification upon a consolidation or merger to which Section 1311 applies) shall be deemed to involve (a) a distribution of such securities other than Common Stock to all holders of Common Stock (and the effective date of such reclassification shall be deemed to be "the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution" and "the date fixed for such determination") within the meaning of paragraph (4) of this Section, and (b) a subdivision or combination, as the case may be, of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such reclassification into the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately thereafter (and the effective date of such reclassification shall be deemed to be "the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective" or "the day upon which such combination becomes effective," as the case may be, and "the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective" within the meaning of paragraph (3) of this Section).

(6) For the purpose of any computation under paragraph (2) and (4) of this Section, the current market price per share on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the daily closing prices for the ten consecutive Business Days selected by the Company commencing not less than 30 nor more than 45 Business Days before the day in question. The closing price for each day shall be the last reported sales price regular way on the composite tape or, in case no such reported sale takes place on such day, the average of the reported closing bid and asked prices regular way, in either case on the New York Stock Exchange or, if the Common Stock is not listed or admitted to trading on such Exchange, on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading or, if not listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange, the average of the closing bid and asked prices as furnished by any New York Exchange member firm selected from time to time by the Company for that purpose.

(7) No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1%; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this clause (7) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Article XIII shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be. The Company may make such reductions in the Conversion Price, in addition to those required by paragraphs (1), (2), (3) and (4) of this Section, as it considers to be advisable in order that any event treated for Federal income tax purposes as a dividend of stock or stock rights shall not be taxable to the recipients.

(8) The Trustee has no duty to determine when or how an adjustment under this Article should be made or the amount of any such adjustment. The Trustee has no duty to determine whether a supplemental indenture under Section 1311 need be entered into or whether any provisions of any supplemental indenture are correct. The Trustee shall not be accountable for and makes no representation as to the validity or value of any securities or assets issued upon conversion of Securities. The Trustee shall not be responsible for the Company's failure to comply with this Article.

SECTION 1305. Notice of Adjustments of Conversion Price.

Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein provided:

(a) the Company shall compute the adjusted Conversion Price in accordance with Section 1304 and shall prepare a certificate signed by the Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer of the Company setting forth the adjusted Conversion Price and showing in reasonable detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based, such certificate shall forthwith be filed with the Trustee and at each office or agency maintained for the purpose of conversion of Securities pursuant to Section 1002, and such certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment; and

(b) a notice stating that the Conversion Price has been adjusted and setting forth the adjusted Conversion Price shall forthwith be required, and as soon as practicable after it is required, such notice shall be prepared by the Company, filed with the Trustee and mailed by the Company to all Holders at their last addresses as they shall appear in the Security Register.

SECTION 1306. Notice of Certain Corporate Action.

In case:

(a) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution) on Common Stock payable otherwise than in cash out of its retained earnings; or

(b) the Company shall authorize the granting to the holders of Common Stock of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any other rights; or

(c) of any reclassification of the Common Stock of the Company (other than a subdivision or combination of its outstanding shares of Common Stock), or of any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party and for which approval of any stockholders of the Company is required, or of the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; or

(d) of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company;

then the Company shall cause to be filed with the Trustee and at each office or agency maintained for the purpose of conversion of Securities pursuant to
Section 1002, and shall cause to be mailed to all Holders at their last addresses as they shall appear in the Security Register, at least 15 days (or ten days in any case specified in clause (a) or (b) above) prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, rights or warrants, or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distribution, rights or warrants are to be determined, or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer dissolution, liquidation or winding up is expected to become effective, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up. The failure to give notice required by this Section or any defect therein shall not affect the legality or validity of any dividend, distribution, rights, warrants, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up, or the vote on any such action.

SECTION 1307. Company to Reserve Common Stock.

The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available, free from preemptive rights, out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock, for the purpose of effecting the conversion of Securities, the full number of shares of Common Stock then issuable upon the conversion of all outstanding Securities.

SECTION 1308. Taxes on Conversion.

The Company will pay any and all transfer taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of shares of Common Stock on conversion of Securities pursuant thereto. The Company shall not, however, be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of shares of Common Stock in a name other than that of the Holder of the Security or Securities to be converted, and no such issue or delivery shall be made unless and until the Person requesting such issue has paid to the Company the amount of any such tax, or has established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.

SECTION 1309. Covenant as to Common Stock.

The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock which may be issued upon conversion of Securities will upon issue be fully paid and nonassessable and, except as provided in Section 1308, the Company will pay all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof.

SECTION 1310. Cancellation of Converted Securities.

All Securities delivered for conversion shall be delivered to the Trustee for cancellation and the Trustee shall dispose of the same as provided in
Section 309.

SECTION 1311. Provisions in Case of Consolidation, Merger or Sale of Assets.

In case of any consolidation of the Company with, or merger of the Company into, any other corporation or corporations, any merger of another corporation into the Company (other than a merger which does not result in any reclassification, conversion, exchange or cancellation of outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company) or any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, the corporation or corporations formed by such consolidation or resulting from such merger or which acquires such assets, as the case may be, shall execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture providing that the Holder of each Security then outstanding shall have the right thereafter, during the period such Security shall be convertible as specified in Section 1301, to convert such Security only into the kind and amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company into which such Security might have been converted immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer, assuming such holder of Common Stock of the Company
(i) is not a corporation with which the Company consolidated or into which the Company merged or which merged into the Company or to which such sale or transfer was made, as the case may be ("constituent corporation"), or an Affiliate of a constituent corporation and (ii) failed to exercise its rights of election, if any, as to the kind or amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer (provided that if the kind or amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer is not the same for each share of Common Stock of the Company held immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer by others than a constituent corporation or an Affiliate thereof and in respect of which such rights of election shall not have been exercised ("non- electing share"), then for the purpose of this Section the kind and amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer by each non-electing share shall be deemed to be the kind and amount so receivable per share by a plurality of the non-electing shares). Such supplemental indenture shall provide for adjustments which, for events subsequent to the effective date of such supplemental indenture, shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Article. The above provisions of this Section shall similarly apply to successive consolidations, mergers, sales or transfers.

ARTICLE XIV

SUBORDINATION OF SECURITIES

SECTION 1401. Securities Subordinate to Senior Indebtedness.

The Company, for itself, its successors and assigns, covenants and agrees, and each Holder of the Securities of each series, by their acceptance thereof, likewise covenants and agrees, that the payment of the principal of and premium and interest, if any, on each and all of the Securities is hereby expressly subordinated, to the extent and in the manner set forth in this Article, in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness.

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

SECTION 1402. Payment Over of Proceeds of Securities on Dissolution, etc.

Upon any distribution of assets or securities of the Company in connection with any dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization of the Company (whether in bankruptcy, insolvency or receivership proceedings or upon an assignment for the benefit of creditors or any other marshalling of the assets and liabilities of the Company or otherwise), the holders of all Senior Indebtedness shall first be entitled to receive payment in full in accordance with the terms of such Senior Indebtedness of the principal therefor and premium, if any, and the interest due thereon before the Holders of the Securities of any series are entitled to receive any payment or distribution upon the principal, premium and interest, if any, on the Securities or sinking fund payment; and, upon any such dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization, any payment or distribution of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities of the Company (other than shares of stock of the Company as reorganized or readjusted or securities of the Company or any other corporation provided for by a plan of reorganization or readjustment, the payment of which is subordinated to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness, at least to the extent provided in this Article, which may at the time be outstanding and which are provided for by a plan of reorganization or readjustment which does not alter the rights of the holders of Senior Indebtedness at the time outstanding and under which such other corporation, if any, assumes all Senior Indebtedness at the time outstanding), to which the Holders of the Securities or the Trustee would be entitled except for the provisions of this Article, including any such payment or distribution which may be payable or deliverable by reason of the payment of any other indebtedness of the Company being subordinated to the payment of the Securities, shall be made by the liquidating trustee or agent or other person making such payment or distribution, whether a trustee in bankruptcy, a receiver or liquidating trustee or otherwise, directly to the holders of Senior Indebtedness or their representative or representatives or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture under which any instruments evidencing any of such Senior Indebtedness may have been issued, ratably according to the aggregate amounts remaining unpaid on account of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Senior Indebtedness held or represented by each, to the extent necessary to pay in full all Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution or provision therefor to the holders of Senior Indebtedness.

In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, upon any such dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization, any payment or distribution of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities of the Company (other than shares of stock of the Company as reorganized or readjusted or securities of the Company or any other corporation provided for by a plan of reorganization or readjustment, the payment of which is subordinated to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness, at least to the extent provided by this Article, which may at the time be outstanding and which are provided for by a plan of reorganization or readjustment which does not alter the rights of the holders of Senior Indebtedness at the time outstanding and under which such other corporation, if any, assumes all Senior Indebtedness at the time outstanding), including any such payment or distribution which may be payable or deliverable by reason of the payment of any indebtedness of the Company, if any, subordinated to the payment of the Securities, shall be received by the Trustee or the Holders of the Securities before all Senior Indebtedness is paid in full, such payment or distribution shall be paid over to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness or their representative or representatives or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture under which any instruments evidencing any of such Senior Indebtedness may have been issued, ratably as aforesaid, for application to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid until all such Senior Indebtedness shall have been paid in full, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution or provision therefor to the holders of Senior Indebtedness.

Subject to the payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness, the Holders of the Securities shall be subrogated to the rights of the holders of Senior Indebtedness to receive payments or distributions of cash, property or securities of the Company applicable to the holders of the Senior Indebtedness until all amounts owing on the Securities shall be paid in full, and none of the payments or distributions to the holders of the Senior Indebtedness to which the Holders of the Securities or the Trustee would be entitled except for the provisions of this Article or of payments over, pursuant to the provisions of this Article, to the holders of the Senior Indebtedness by the Holders of the Securities or the Trustee shall, as between the Company, its creditors other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness, and the Holders of the Securities, be deemed to be a payment by the Company to or on account of Senior Indebtedness, it being understood that the provisions of this Article are and are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the Holders of the Securities, on the one hand, and the holders of the Senior Indebtedness, on the other hand, and nothing contained in this Article or elsewhere in this Indenture or in the Securities of any series is intended to or shall impair, as between the Company, its creditors other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness, and the Holders of the Securities, the obligation of the Company, which is unconditional and absolute, to pay to the Holders of the Securities the principal of and premium and interest, if any (including interest accruing subsequent to the commencement of any proceeding for the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law now or hereafter in effect), on the Securities as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms, or to affect the relative rights of the Holders of the Securities and creditors of the Company other than the holders of the Senior Indebtedness, nor shall anything herein or therein prevent the Trustee or the Holder of any Security of any series from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon default under this Indenture, subject to the rights, if any, under this Article, of the holders of Senior Indebtedness in respect of cash, property or securities of the Company received upon the exercise of any such remedy.

The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization of the Company within the meaning of this Article. The Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 601, shall be entitled to assume that no such event has occurred and shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of any facts which would prohibit the making of any payment of moneys to or by the Trustee or the taking of any other action by the Trustee, unless the Company or any one or more holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company or any trustee therefor (who shall have been certified or otherwise established to the satisfaction of the Trustee to be such a holder or trustee) has given written notice thereof to an officer in the Corporate Trust Department of the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office.

Upon any distribution of assets or securities of the Company referred to in this Article, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities shall be entitled to rely upon any order or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction in which such dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization proceedings are pending for the purpose of ascertaining the persons entitled to participate in such distribution, the holders of the Senior Indebtedness and other indebtedness of the Company, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon, and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article, and the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Article V hereof, and the Holders of the Securities shall be entitled to rely upon a certificate of the liquidating trustee or agent or other person making any distribution to the Trustee or to the Holders of the Securities for the purpose of ascertaining the persons entitled to participate in such distribution, the holders of the Senior Indebtedness and other indebtedness of the Company, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article. In the event that the Trustee determines, in good faith, that further evidence is required, with respect to the right of any person as a holder of Senior Indebtedness, to participate in any payment or distribution pursuant to this Section 1402, the Trustee may request such person to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee as to the amount of Senior Indebtedness held by such person, as to the extent to which such person is entitled to participation in such payment or distribution, and as to other facts pertinent to the rights of such person under this Section 1402, and if such evidence is not furnished, the Trustee may defer any payment to such person pending judicial determination as to the right of such person to receive such payment.

SECTION 1403. Priority of Senior Indebtedness upon Maturity.

Upon the maturity of the principal of any Senior Indebtedness by lapse of time, acceleration or otherwise, all matured principal of Senior Indebtedness and interest and premium thereon shall first be paid in full before any payment of principal or premium or interest, if any, is made upon the Securities or before any Securities can be acquired by the Company or any sinking fund payment is made with respect to the Securities (except required sinking fund payments may be reduced by Securities acquired before such maturity of such Senior Indebtedness).

SECTION 1404. Obligation of Company to Pay Holders of Securities Not Affected.

Nothing contained in this Article or elsewhere in this Indenture, or in any of the Securities of any series, shall affect the obligation of the Company to make, or prevent the Company from making, payment of principal of (including any sinking fund payment) or premium or interest, if any, on the Securities, except under the conditions described in Section 1402 hereof or during the pendency of any dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization proceedings referred to in Section 1402 or as provided in Section 1403 hereof.

SECTION 1405. Trustee as Holder of Senior Indebtedness.

The Trustee shall be entitled to all rights set forth in this Article with respect to any Senior Indebtedness at any time held by it, to the same extent as any holder of Senior Indebtedness. Nothing in this Article shall apply to claims of, or payments to, the Trustee under or pursuant to Article VI hereof.

SECTION 1406. Notice to Trustee to Effectuate Subordination.

Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article or any other provision of the Indenture, the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of any facts which would prohibit the making of any payment of moneys to or by the Trustee unless and until an officer of the Trustee in its Corporate Trust Department shall have received written notice thereof at its Corporate Trust Office from the Company or from a holder of any Senior Indebtedness or from any representative or representatives of such holder and, prior to the receipt of any such written notice, the Trustee shall be entitled, subject to Section 601, in all respects to assume that no such facts exist; provided, that, if prior to the fifth Business Day preceding the date upon which by the terms hereof any such moneys may become payable for any purpose, or in the event of the execution of an instrument pursuant to Section 401 acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, then if prior to the second Business Day preceding the date of such execution, the Trustee shall not have received with respect to such moneys the notice provided for in this Section, then, anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee may, in its discretion, receive such moneys and/or apply the same to the purpose for which they were received, and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary, which may be received by it on or after such date; provided, however, no such application shall affect the obligations under this Article of the persons receiving such moneys from the Trustee.

SECTION 1407. Modification, Extension, etc. of Senior Indebtedness.

The holders of Senior Indebtedness may, without affecting in any manner the subordination of the payment of the principal of and premium and interest, if any, on the Securities, at any time or from time to time and in their absolute discretion, change the manner, place or terms of payment, change or extend the time of payment of, or renew or alter, any Senior Indebtedness, or amend or supplement any instrument pursuant to which any Senior Indebtedness is issued, or exercise or refrain from exercising any other of their rights under the Senior Indebtedness including, without limitation, the waiver of default thereunder, all without notice to or assent from the Holders of the Securities or the Trustee.

SECTION 1408. Trustee Has No Fiduciary Duty to Holders of Senior Indebtedness.

With respect to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, the Trustee undertakes to perform or to observe only such of its covenants and objectives as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations with respect to the holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee. The Trustee shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, and shall not be liable to any such holders if it shall mistakenly pay over or deliver to the Holders of Securities or the Company or any other person, money or assets to which any holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled by virtue of this Article or otherwise.

SECTION 1409. Paying Agents Other Than the Trustee.

In case at any time any Paying Agent other than the Trustee shall have been appointed by the Company and be then acting hereunder, the term "Trustee" as used in this Article shall in such case (unless the context shall otherwise require) be construed as extending to and including such Paying Agent within its meaning as fully for all intents and purposes as if such Paying Agent were named in this Article in addition to or in place of the Trustee, provided, however, that Sections 1405, 1406 and 1408 shall not apply to the Company if it acts as Paying Agent.

SECTION 1410. Rights of Holders of Senior Indebtedness Not Impaired.

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

SECTION 1411. All Indenture Provisions Subject to Subordination Provisions

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, all the provisions of this Indenture shall be subject to the provisions of this Article, so far as the same may be applicable thereto.

[FORM OF REVERSE OF SUBORDINATE DEBT SECURITY]

This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called the "Securities"), issued and to be issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of __________ (herein called the "Indenture"), between the Company and Chemical Bank, as Trustee (herein called the "Trustee", which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee, the holders of Senior Indebtedness and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof [, limited in aggregate principal amount to $ __________ ].

No fractions of shares or scrip representing fractions of shares will be issued on conversion, but instead of any fractional interest the Company shall pay a cash adjustment as provided in the Indenture. The conversion [price -- rate] is subject to adjustment as provided in the Indenture. In addition, the Indenture provides that in case of certain consolidations or mergers to which the Company is a party or the transfer of substantially all of the assets of the Company, the Indenture shall be amended, without the consent of any Holders of Securities, so that this Security, if then outstanding, will be convertible thereafter, during the period this Security shall be convertible as specified above, only into the kind and amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon the consolidation, merger or transfer by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which this Security might have been converted immediately prior to such consolidation, merger or transfer (assuming such holder of Common Stock failed to exercise any rights of election and received per share the kind and amount received per share by a plurality of non-electing shares) [, assuming, if such consolidation, merger or transfer is prior to _____________, that this Security were convertible at the time of such consolidation, merger or transfer at the initial conversion [price -- rate] specified above as adjusted from __________ to such time pursuant to the Indenture].]

Each Holder of this Security, by accepting the same, (a) agrees to and shall be bound by such provisions, (b) authorizes and directs the Trustee on his behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to acknowledge or effectuate the subordination so provided and (c) appoints the Trustee his attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes. Each Holder hereof, by his acceptance hereof, hereby waives all notice of the acceptance of the subordination provisions contained herein and in the Indenture by each holder of Senior Indebtedness, whether now outstanding or hereafter incurred, and waives reliance by each such holder upon said provisions.

Registration Statement on Form S-3

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We are acting as special counsel to Harsco Corporation (the "Company") in connection with (i) the proposed issue and sale by the Company of up to $200,000,000 principal amount of (a) senior or subordinated debt securities of the Company (the "Debt Securities"), which, in the case of subordinated Debt Securities, may be convertible into the Company's Common Stock, $1.25 par value, (b) shares of the Company's preferred stock, $1.25 par value (the "Preferred Stock"), and (c) shares of the Company's Common Stock, $1.25 par value (the "Common Stock", and together with the Debt Securities and the Preferred Stock, the "Securities"), and (ii) the registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act") of 300,297 shares of Common Stock of the Company (the "Shares") held by certain shareholders of the Company, all as described in the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-3 filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Act, on the date hereof (the "Registration Statement").

As such counsel we have:

(a) reviewed the actions heretofore taken by the Company in contemplation of the creation, issuance and sale of the Securities, the issuance and sale of the Shares and related matters; and

(b) made such examinations of law and examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise authenticated to our satisfaction of all such other corporate records, instruments, certificates of public officials or bodies, certificates of officers and representatives of the Company, and such other documents, and discussed with officers and representatives of the Company such questions of fact, as we have deemed necessary in order to render the opinions hereinafter expressed.

Based upon the foregoing, we are pleased to advise you that in our opinion:

1. The Company has been duly incorporated and is a validly existing corporation under the laws of the State of Delaware.

2. When (i) the Registration Statement has become effective under the Act, and the Indenture dated as of May 1, 1985, between the Company and The Chase Manhattan Bank (National Association), as amended by the First Supplemental Indenture to be entered into by the Company and Chemical Bank, as successor trustee (the "Senior Trustee"), with respect to the senior Debt Securities (the "Senior Indenture"), and the Indenture to be entered into by the Company and Chemical Bank, as trustee (the "Subordinated Trustee"), with respect to the subordinated Debt Securities (the "Subordinated Indenture," and together with the Senior Indenture, the "Indentures"), have been qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, (ii) with respect to the senior Debt Securities, the First Supplemental Indenture has been duly executed and delivered by the Company and the Senior Trustee, and with respect to the subordinated Debt Securities, the Subordinated Indenture has been duly executed and delivered by the Company and the Subordinated Trustee, (iii) the Debt Securities have been duly created, issued, and authenticated in accordance with all necessary corporate authorizations and the terms of the applicable Indenture, and (iv) the Debt Securities have been delivered and paid for as contemplated by the Registration Statement and any prospectus supplement relating thereto and in accordance with the applicable Indenture, the Debt Securities will be legally issued by the Company and will be valid and binding obligations of the Company, subject, as to enforcement, to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors' rights and to general equity principles.

3. When (i) the Registration Statement has become effective under the Act, (ii) the terms of the Preferred Stock and of its issuance and sale have been duly established in conformity with the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, so as not to violate any applicable law or result in a default under or breach of any agreement or instrument binding upon the Company and so as to comply with any requirement or restriction imposed by any court or governmental body having jurisdiction over the Company, (iii) a Certificate of Designation fixing and determining the terms of the Preferred Stock in the form to be filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement is filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, and (iv) the Preferred Stock has been duly issued and sold as contemplated by the Registration Statement and any prospectus supplement thereto, against payment of the consideration fixed therefor by the Board of Directors of the Company or a duly authorized committee thereof, the Preferred Stock will be validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable.

4. When (i) the Registration Statement has become effective under the Act, (ii) the terms of the issuance and sale of the Common Stock have been duly established in conformity with the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, so as not to violate any applicable law or result in a default under any agreement or instrument binding upon the Company and so as to comply with any requirement or restriction imposed by any court of governmental body having jurisdiction over the Company, and (iii) the Common Stock has been duly issued and sold as contemplated by the Registration Statement and any prospectus supplement relating thereto, against payment of the consideration fixed therefor by the Board of Directors or a duly authorized committee thereof, the Common Stock (including any shares of Common Stock duly issued upon the conversion of Preferred Stock or subordinated Debt Securities) will be validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable.

5. The Shares have been duly authorized and are validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

In connection with the opinion set forth in paragraph 5 above we have assumed that the Shares when originally issued were issued for value. We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as Exhibit 5 to the Registration Statement and to the reference to this firm under the heading "Legal Opinion" in the Prospectus forming a part of said Registration Statement. In giving such consent, we do not admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act.
