Dear Sirs:

PP&L Capital Funding, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and PP&L Resources, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (the "Guarantor"), confirm their agreement with Merrill Lynch & Co., Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, First Chicago Capital Markets, Inc., Goldman, Sachs & Co. and Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated (each, an "Agent", and collectively, the "Agents") with respect to the issue and sale by the Company of its Medium-Term Notes, Series A (the "Notes"). The Notes will be unconditionally guaranteed as to payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest by the Guarantor pursuant to guarantees of the Guarantor (the "Guarantees"). Certain terms of the Notes are set forth in Schedule A hereto.

-1-

The Notes are to be issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of November 1, 1997, as amended or modified from time to time (the "Base Indenture"), among the Company, the Guarantor and The Chase Manhattan Bank, as trustee (the "Trustee"), as supplemented by a Supplemental Indenture No. 1, dated as of November 1, 1997 (the "Supplemental Indenture" and, together with the Base Indenture, the "Indenture"), among the Company, the Guarantor and the Trustee. As of the date hereof, the Company has authorized the issuance and sale of up to $400,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Notes to or through the Agents pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. It is understood, however, that the Company may from time to time authorize the issuance of additional Notes and that such additional Notes may be sold to or through the Agents pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, all as though the issuance of such Notes were authorized as of the date hereof.

This Agreement provides both for the sale of Notes by the Company to one or more Agents as principal for resale to investors and other purchasers and for the sale of Notes by the Company directly to investors through one or more agents (as may from time to time be agreed to by the Company and the applicable Agent), in which case the applicable Agent will act as an agent of the Company in soliciting offers for the purchase of Notes.

In connection with the foregoing, the Company and the Guarantor have filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") a joint registration statement on Form S-3 (Nos. 333-38003 and 333-38003-01) for the registration of debt securities, including the Notes and the Guarantees, under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act") and the offering thereof from time to time in accordance with Rule 415 of the rules and regulations of the Commission under the 1933 Act (the "1933 Act Regulations"). Such registration statement (as so amended, if applicable) has been declared effective by the Commission and the Indenture has been duly qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the "1939 Act"). Such registration statement (as so amended, if applicable) is referred to herein as the "Registration Statement"; and the final prospectus and all applicable amendments or supplements thereto (including the final prospectus supplement relating to the offering of Notes), in the form first furnished to the applicable Agent(s) and to be transmitted for filing pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the 1933

-2-

Act Regulations, are collectively referred to herein as the "Prospectus"; provided, however, that all references to the "Registration Statement" and the "Prospectus" shall also be deemed to include all documents incorporated therein by reference pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act"), prior to any acceptance by the Company of an offer for the purchase of Notes; provided, further, that if the Company files a registration statement with the Commission pursuant to Rule 462(b) of the 1933 Act Regulations (the "Rule 462(b) Registration Statement"), then, after such filing, all references to the "Registration Statement" shall also be deemed to include the Rule 462(b) Registration Statement. For purposes of this Agreement, all references to the Registration Statement or Prospectus or to any amendment or supplement thereto shall be deemed to include any copy filed with the Commission pursuant to its Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval system ("EDGAR"). All references in this Agreement to financial statements and schedules and other information that is "contained," "included" or "stated" in the Registration Statement or Prospectus (and all other references of like import) shall be deemed to mean and include all such financial statements and schedules and other information that are or are deemed to be incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement or Prospectus, as the case may be; and all references in this Agreement to amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or Prospectus shall be deemed to mean and include the filing of any document under the 1934 Act that is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement or Prospectus, as the case may be.

1. Appointment as Agent.

(a) Appointment. On the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements herein contained, but subject to the terms and conditions herein contained and subject to the reservation by the Company of the right to sell Notes directly to investors on its own behalf (and not through any Agent), offers for the purchase of Notes may be solicited by an Agent as agent for the Company at such times and in such amounts as such Agent deems advisable. The Company may appoint additional agents in connection with the offering of the Notes; provided that (i) the Company promptly notifies the Agents of such appointment and (ii) the commission paid to any such additional agent with respect to the sale of Notes by the Company as a result of a

-3-

solicitation made by such additional agent does not exceed that percentage specified in Schedule B hereto of the aggregate principal amount of such Notes sold by the Company; and provided further that, unless the appointment of such additional agent is expressly limited to the solicitation of offers to purchase a specified principal amount of Notes on specified terms, such additional agent enters into an agreement with the Company making such agent an Agent under this Agreement or enters into an agreement with the Company on terms which are substantially similar to those contained in this Agreement, which agreement shall include appropriate changes to reflect the arrangements between the Company and such additional agent.

(b) Sale of Notes. The Company shall not sell or approve the solicitation of offers for the purchase of Notes in excess of the amount which shall be authorized by the Company from time to time or in excess of the aggregate principal amount of Notes registered pursuant to the Registration Statement. The Agents shall have no responsibility for maintaining records with respect to the aggregate principal amount of Notes sold, or of otherwise monitoring the availability of Notes for sale, under the Registration Statement.

(c) Purchases as Principal. The Agents shall not have any obligation to purchase Notes from the Company as principal. However, absent an agreement between an Agent and the Company that such Agent shall be acting solely as an agent for the Company, such Agent shall be deemed to be acting as principal in connection with any offering of Notes by the Company through such Agent. Accordingly, the Agents, individually or in a syndicate, may agree from time to time to purchase Notes from the Company as principal for resale to investors and other purchasers determined by such Agents. Any purchase of Notes from the Company by an Agent as principal shall be made in accordance with Section 3(a) hereof.

(d) Solicitations as Agent. If agreed upon between an Agent and the Company, such Agent, acting solely as an agent for the Company and not as principal, will solicit offers for the purchase of Notes. Such Agent will communicate to the Company, orally or in writing, each offer for the purchase of Notes solicited by it on an agency basis other than those offers rejected by such Agent. Such Agent shall have the right, in its discretion reasonably exercised, to reject any offer for the purchase of Notes, in

-4-

whole or in part, and any such rejection shall not be deemed a breach of its agreement contained herein. The Company may accept or reject any offer for the purchase of Notes, in whole or in part. Such Agent shall make reasonable efforts to assist the Company in obtaining performance by each purchaser whose offer for the purchase of Notes has been solicited by it on an agency basis and accepted by the Company. Such Agent shall not have any liability to the Company in the event that any such purchase is not consummated for any reason. If the Company shall default on its obligation to deliver Notes against payment tendered by a purchaser whose offer has been solicited by such Agent on an agency basis and accepted by the Company, the Company shall hold such Agent harmless against any loss, claim or damage arising from or as a result of such default by the Company.

(e) Reliance. The Company and the Agents agree that any Notes purchased from the Company by one or more Agents as principal shall be purchased, and any Notes the placement of which an Agent arranges as an agent of the Company shall be placed by such Agent, in reliance on the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Company contained herein and on the terms and conditions and in the manner provided herein.

2. Representations and Warranties.

(a) The Company and the Guarantor jointly and severally represent and warrant to, and agree with, each Agent as of the date hereof, as of the date of each acceptance by the Company of an offer for the purchase of Notes (whether to such Agent as principal or through such Agent as agent), as of the date of each delivery of Notes (whether to such Agent as principal or through such Agent as agent) (the date of each such delivery to such Agent as principal is referred to herein as a "Settlement Date"), and as of any time that the Registration Statement or the Prospectus shall be amended or supplemented (each of the times referenced above is referred to herein as a "Representation Date"), that:

(i) The Registration Statement, when it became effective and at each Representation Date, and the Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto, when filed or transmitted for filing with the Commission and at each Representation Date, complied or will comply in all material respects with the

-5-

requirements of the 1933 Act and the 1933 Act Regulations and the 1939 Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission under the 1939 Act (the "1939 Act 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; provided, however, that the representations and warranties in this subsection shall not apply to statements in or omissions from the Registration Statement or Prospectus made in reliance upon and in conformity with the information furnished to the Company in writing by the Agents expressly for use in the Registration Statement or Prospectus or to that part of the Registration Statement which constitutes the Trustee's Statement of Eligibility and Qualification under the 1939 Act (the "T-1").

(ii) The documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement or Prospectus, at the time they were or hereafter are filed with the Commission, complied and will comply in all material respects with the requirements of the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission under the 1934 Act (the "1934 Act Regulations"), and, when read together with the other information in the Prospectus, at the date hereof, at the date of the Prospectus and at each Representation Date, did not and 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, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that the representations and warranties in this subsection shall not apply to statements in or omissions from the Registration Statement or Prospectus made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Company in writing by or through any Agent expressly for use in the Registration Statement or Prospectus.

(iii) The Guarantor has been duly incorporated and is validly existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania with corporate power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement, the Indenture and the Guarantees.

-6-

(iv) The Company has been duly incorporated and is validly existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware with corporate power and authority to conduct its business as described in the Prospectus and to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement, the Indenture and the Notes; and the Company is and will be treated as a consolidated subsidiary of the Guarantor pursuant to generally accepted accounting principles.

(v) Neither the Guarantor nor the Company is an "investment company" that is required to be registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act").

(vi) This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by each of the Company and the Guarantor.

(vii) The Indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and the Guarantor and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the Trustee, constitutes a valid and binding agreement of the Company and the Guarantor enforceable in accordance with its terms except to the extent that enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, or reorganization, moratorium, and other similar laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights and by general equity principles, regardless of whether enforcement is considered in a proceeding at law or in equity (the "Bankruptcy Exceptions"); the Indenture conforms and will conform in all material respects to the statements relating thereto contained in the Prospectus; and at the effective date of the Registration Statement, the Indenture was duly qualified under the 1939 Act.

(viii) The Notes have been duly authorized and, when issued, authenticated and delivered in the manner provided for in the Indenture and delivered against payment of the consideration therefor, will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company enforceable in accordance with their terms except to the extent that enforcement thereof may be limited by the Bankruptcy Exceptions; the Notes will be in the forms established pursuant to, and entitled to the benefits of, the Indenture; and the Notes will conform

-7-

in all material respects to the statements relating thereto contained in the Prospectus.

(ix) The Guarantees have been duly authorized and, when duly executed pursuant to the Indenture and delivered, will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Guarantor enforceable in accordance with their terms except to the extent that enforcement thereof may be limited by the Bankruptcy Exceptions; the Guarantees will be in the forms established pursuant to the Indenture; and the Guarantees will conform in all material respects to the statements relating thereto contained in the Prospectus.

(x) Since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, except as otherwise stated therein or contemplated thereby, there has been no event or occurrence that would result in a material adverse change, or any development involving a material adverse change, in the financial position or results of operations of the Guarantor and its subsidiaries considered as one enterprise (a "Material Adverse Effect").

(xi) The Medium-Term Note Program under which the Notes are issued (the "Program"), as well as the Notes, are rated Baa2 by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. and BBB+ by Standard & Poor's Ratings Service, or such other rating as to which the Company or the Guarantor shall have most recently notified the Agents pursuant to Section 5(a) hereof.

(b) Each of the several Agents represents and warrants to, and agrees with, the Company and the Guarantor, their respective directors and such of their respective officers who shall have signed the Registration Statement, and to each other Agent, that the information furnished in writing to the Company and the Guarantor by such Agent expressly for use in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus does not contain an untrue statement of a material fact and does not omit to state a material fact in connection with such information required to be stated therein or necessary to make such information not misleading.

(c) Additional Certifications. Any certificate signed by any officer of the Company or the Guarantor and

-8-

delivered to one or more Agents or to counsel for the Agents in connection with an offering of Notes to one or more Agents as principal or through an Agent as agent shall be deemed a representation and warranty by the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, to such Agent or Agents as to the matters covered thereby on the date of such certificate.

3. Purchases as Principal; Solicitations as Agent.

(a) Purchases as Principal. Notes purchased from the Company by the Agents, individually or in a syndicate, as principal shall be made in accordance with terms agreed upon between such Agent or Agents and the Company in a separate agreement (which may be an oral agreement confirmed in writing between the applicable Agent and the Company). Each such separate agreement is herein referred to as a "Terms Agreement". Each such Terms Agreement, whether oral (and confirmed in writing, which may be a facsimile transmission) or in writing, shall include such information (as applicable) as is specified in Schedule A hereto. An Agent's commitment to purchase Notes as principal shall be deemed to have been made on the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements of the Company herein contained, but subject to the terms and conditions herein contained. Unless the context otherwise requires, references herein to "this Agreement" shall include the applicable Terms Agreement of one or more Agents to purchase Notes from the Company as principal. Each purchase of Notes, unless otherwise agreed, shall be at a discount from the principal amount of each such Note equivalent to the applicable commission set forth in Schedule B hereto. The Agents may engage the services of any broker or dealer in connection with the resale of the Notes purchased by them as principal and may allow all or any portion of the discount received from the Company in connection with such purchases to such brokers or dealers. At the time of each Terms Agreement to purchase Notes from the Company by one or more Agents as principal, such Agent or Agents shall specify the requirements for the comfort letter, opinions of counsel and officers' certificate pursuant to Section 8 hereof.

(b) Solicitations as Agent. On the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements herein contained, but subject to the terms and conditions herein contained, when agreed by the Company and an Agent, such Agent, as an agent of the Company, will use its reasonable efforts to solicit offers for the purchase of Notes upon the terms set forth in the Prospectus. The Agents are not authorized to

-9-

to appoint sub-agents with respect to Notes sold through them as agent. All Notes sold through an Agent as agent will be sold at 100% of their principal amount unless otherwise agreed upon between the Company and such Agent.

The Company reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to suspend solicitation of offers for the purchase of Notes through an Agent, as an agent of the Company, commencing at any time for any period of time or permanently. As soon as practicable after receipt of instructions from the Company, such Agent will suspend solicitation of offers for the purchase of Notes from the Company until such time as the Company has advised such Agent that such solicitation may be resumed.

The Company agrees to pay each Agent a commission, in the form of a discount, equal to the applicable percentage of the principal amount of each Note sold by the Company as a result of a solicitation made by such Agent, as an agent of the Company, at the time of settlement of any such sale, as set forth in Schedule B hereto.

(c) Administrative Procedures. The purchase price, interest rate or formula, maturity date and other terms of the Notes specified in Schedule A hereto (as applicable) shall be agreed upon between the Company and the applicable Agent(s) and specified in a pricing supplement to the Prospectus (each, a "Pricing Supplement") to be prepared by the Company in connection with each sale of Notes. Except as otherwise specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement, the Notes will be issued in denominations of $1,000 or any larger amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000. Administrative procedures with respect to the issuance and sale of the Notes (the "Procedures") shall be agreed upon from time to time among the Company, the Agents and the Trustee. The initial Procedures, which are set forth in Schedule C hereto, shall remain in effect until changed by agreement among the Company, the Agents and the Trustee. The Agents and the Company agree to perform, and the Company agrees to request the Trustee to perform, their respective duties and obligations specifically provided to be performed by them in the Procedures.

4. Delivery and Payment for Notes Sold through an Agent as Agent.

Delivery of Notes sold through an Agent as an agent of the Company shall be made by the Company to such

-10-

Agent for the account of any purchaser only against payment therefor in immediately available funds. In the event that a purchaser shall fail either to accept delivery of or to make payment for a Note on the date fixed for settlement, such Agent shall promptly notify the Company and deliver such Note to the Company and, if such Agent has theretofore paid the Company for such Note, the Company will promptly return such funds to such Agent. If such failure has occurred for any reason other than default by such Agent in the performance of its obligations hereunder, the Company will reimburse such Agent on an equitable basis for its loss of the use of the funds for the period such funds were credited to the Company's account.

5. Certain Covenants of the Company and the Guarantor.

Each of the Company and the Guarantor jointly and severally covenant with the several Agents as follows:

(a) To notify the Agents promptly, and confirm the notice in writing, of (i) any request by the Commission for any amendment to the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus or for additional information, (ii) the institution by the Commission of any stop order proceedings in respect of the Registration Statement, or the initiation of proceedings for that purpose, and to make every reasonable effort to prevent the issuance of any such stop order and to obtain as soon as possible its lifting, if issued, and (iii) any change in the rating assigned by any nationally recognized statistical rating organization to the Program or any debt securities (including the Notes) of the Company or the Guarantor, or the public announcement by any nationally recognized statistical rating organization that it has under surveillance or review, with possible negative implications, its rating of the Program or any such debt securities, or the withdrawal by any nationally recognized statistical rating organization of its rating of the Program or any such debt securities;

(b) To advise the Agents, or Sullivan & Cromwell as counsel to the Agents, promptly of any such filing, and to advise the Agents, or Sullivan & Cromwell, as counsel to the Agents, promptly of any proposal to file or prepare
(i) any amendment to the Registration Statement (including any post-effective amendment), (ii) any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus (other than an amendment or supplement providing solely for the determination of the

-11-

variable terms of the Notes or relating solely to the offering of securities other than the Notes), or (iii) any document that would as a result thereof be incorporated by reference in the Prospectus whether pursuant to the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act or otherwise; and will furnish the Agents with copies of any such amendment, supplement or other document a reasonable amount of time prior to such proposed filing or use, as the case may be;

(c) To endeavor, in cooperation with the Agents, to qualify the Notes for offer and sale under the securities or blue sky laws of such states and the other jurisdictions of the United States as the Agents may from time to time designate, to continue such qualifications in effect so long as required for the distribution of the Notes and to reimburse the Agents for any expenses (including filing fees and reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) paid by the Agents or on their behalf to qualify the Notes for offer and sale, to continue such qualification, to determine the eligibility of the Notes for investment and to print the memoranda relating thereto; provided that neither the Company nor the Guarantor shall be required to qualify as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction in which it is not so qualified, to consent to service of process in any jurisdiction other than with respect to claims arising out of the offering or sale of the Notes, or to meet any other requirement in connection with this paragraph (c) deemed by them to be unduly burdensome;

(d) To deliver promptly to the Agents signed copies of the Registration Statement as originally filed and of all amendments thereto heretofore or hereafter filed, including conformed copies of all exhibits except those incorporated by reference, and such number of conformed copies of the Registration Statement (but excluding the exhibits), the Prospectus, and any amendments and supplements thereto, as the Agents may reasonably request;

(e) To prepare, with respect to any Notes to be sold to or through one or more Agents pursuant to this Agreement, a Pricing Supplement with respect to such Notes in a form previously approved by the Agents. The Company will deliver such Pricing Supplement no later than 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on the business day following the date of the Company's acceptance of the offer for the purchase of such Notes and will file such Pricing Supplement pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) under the 1933 Act not later than the close of business of the Commission on the fifth

-12-

business day after the date on which such Pricing Supplement is first used;

(f) Except as otherwise provided in subsection (l) of this Section 5, if at any time during the term of this Agreement 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 required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances existing at the time the Prospectus is delivered to a purchaser, not misleading, or if it shall be necessary at any time to amend the Registration Statement or amend or supplement the Prospectus to comply with the 1933 Act or the 1933 Act Regulations, to advise the Agents immediately, confirmed in writing, to cease the solicitation of offers for the purchase of Notes in their capacity as agents and to cease sales of any Notes they may then own as principal, and to promptly prepare and file with the Commission, subject to Section 5(b) hereof, such amendment or supplement which will correct such statement or omission or an amendment which will effect such compliance; provided, however, that the cost of any amendment or supplement which relates solely to the activities of any Agent shall be borne by the Agent or Agents requiring the same;

(g) Except as otherwise provided in subsection (l) of this Section 5, on or prior to the date on which there shall be released to the general public interim financial statement information related to the Company or the Guarantor with respect to each of the first three quarters of any fiscal year or preliminary financial statement information with respect to any fiscal year, or financial information included in the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company or the Guarantor for the preceding fiscal year, the Company and the Guarantor shall furnish such information to the Agents;

(h) As soon as practicable, the Guarantor will make generally available to its security holders an earnings statement covering a period of at least twelve months beginning after the "effective date of the registration statement" within the meaning of Rule 158 under the 1933 Act which will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the 1933 Act;

(i) The Company and the Guarantor during the period when the Prospectus is required to be delivered under

-13-

-20-

(iv) This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by each of the Guarantor and the Company;

-23-

(a) Reaffirmation of Representations and Warranties. Each acceptance by the Company of an offer for the purchase of Notes (whether to one or more Agents as principal or through an Agent as agent), and each delivery of Notes (whether to one or more Agents as principal or through an Agent as Agent), shall be deemed to be an affirmation that the representations and warranties of the Company and the Guarantor herein contained and contained in any certificate delivered therewith to the Agents pursuant to this Agreement are true and correct at the time of such acceptance or sale, as the case may be (it being understood that such representations and warranties shall relate to the Registration Statement and Prospectus as amended and supplemented to each such time).

(b) Subsequent Delivery of Certificates. Each time that (i) the Registration Statement or the Prospectus shall be amended or supplemented (other than by an amendment or supplement providing solely for the determination of the variable terms of the Notes or relating solely to the offering of securities other than the Notes) or (ii) (if required by the Terms Agreement relating to such Notes) the Company sells Notes to one or more Agents as principal, each of the Company and the Guarantor shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Agent(s), forthwith a certificate dated the date of filing with the Commission or the date of effectiveness of such amendment or supplement, as applicable, or the date of such sale, as the case may be, in form satisfactory to the Agent(s) to the effect that the statements contained in the certificate referred to in
Section 7(f) hereof which were last furnished to the Agents are true and correct at the time of the filing or effectiveness of such amendment or supplement, as applicable, or the time of such sale, as the case may be, as though made at and as of such time (except that such statements shall be deemed to relate to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus as amended and supplemented to such time) or, in lieu of such certificate, a certificate of the same tenor as the certificate referred to in Section 7(f) hereof, modified as necessary to relate to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus as amended and supplemented to the time of delivery of such certificate (it being understood that, in the case of clause (ii) above, any such certificates shall also include a certification that there has been no Material Adverse Effect since the date of the agreement by such Agent(s) to purchase Notes from the Company as principal).

-24-

(c) Subsequent Delivery of Legal Opinions. Each time that (i) the Registration Statement or the Prospectus shall be amended or supplemented (other than (A) by an amendment or supplement providing solely for the determination of the variable terms of the Notes or relating solely to the offering of securities other than the Notes or (B) unless an Agent shall otherwise reasonably request, by filing of any Current Report on Form 8-K) or (ii) (if required by the Terms Agreement relating to such Notes) the Company sells Notes to one or more Agents as principal, the Company shall furnish or cause to be furnished forthwith to the Agent(s) and to counsel to the Agents the written opinions of Michael A. McGrail, Esq., Senior Counsel to the Guarantor (or such other counsel as may be acceptable to the Agent(s)) and Reid & Priest LLP, special counsel to the Company and the Guarantor, each dated the date of filing with the Commission or the date of effectiveness of such amendment or supplement, as applicable, or the date of such sale, as the case may be, in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent(s), of the same tenor as the opinions referred to in Section 7(c) and (d) hereof, but modified, as necessary, to relate to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus as amended and supplemented to the time of delivery of such opinions; or, in lieu of such opinions, counsel last furnishing such opinions to the Agents shall furnish the Agent(s) with a letter substantially to the effect that the Agent(s) may rely on such last opinion to the same extent as though it was dated the date of such letter authorizing reliance (except that statements in such last opinion shall be deemed to relate to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus as amended and supplemented to the time of delivery of such letter authorizing reliance).

(d) Subsequent Delivery of Comfort Letters. Each time that (i) the Registration Statement or the Prospectus shall be amended or supplemented to include additional financial information (other than by an amendment or supplement relating solely to the issuance and/or offering of securities other than the Notes) or (ii) (if required by the Terms Agreement relating to such Notes) the Company sells Notes to one or more Agents as principal, the Company shall cause Price Waterhouse LLP forthwith to furnish to the Agent(s) a letter, dated the date of filing with the Commission or the date of effectiveness of such amendment or supplement, as applicable, or the date of such sale, as the case may be, in form satisfactory to the Agent(s), of the same tenor as the letter referred to in Section 7(a) hereof but modified to relate to the Registration Statement and

-25-

Prospectus as amended and supplemented to the date of such letter; provided, however, that if the Registration Statement or the Prospectus is amended or supplemented solely to include financial information as of and for a fiscal quarter, Price Waterhouse LLP may limit the scope of such letter to the unaudited financial statements included in such amendment or supplement unless any other information included therein of an accounting, financial or statistical nature is of such a nature that, in the reasonable judgment of the Agents, such letter should cover such other information.

(e) The Company shall not sell Notes which are not substantially in a form previously certified without prior notification to each Agent or Sullivan & Cromwell as counsel to the Agents.

9. Indemnification and Contribution.

(a) The Company and the Guarantor agree that they will jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless each Agent and each person, if any, who controls any Agent within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act, against any and all loss, expense, claim, damage or liability to which, jointly or severally, such Agent or such controlling person may become subject, under the 1933 Act or otherwise, insofar as such loss, expense, claim, damage or liability (or actions in respect thereof) arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement to any thereof, or arises out of or is based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; and, except as hereinafter in this Section provided, the Company and the Guarantor agree to reimburse each Agent and each person who controls any Agent as aforesaid for any reasonable legal or other expenses as incurred by such Agent or such controlling person in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, expense, claim, damage or liability; provided, however, that the Company and the Guarantor shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, expense, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based on an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in any such document in reliance upon, and in conformity with, written information furnished to the Guarantor or the Company by or through any such Agent

-26-

expressly for use in any such document or arises out of, or is based on, statements in or omissions from that part of the Registration Statement which shall constitute the T-1; and provided further, that with respect to any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in any prospectus or supplement, the indemnity agreement contained in this subsection (a) shall not inure to the benefit of any Agent from whom the person asserting any such loss, expense, claim, damage or liability purchased the Notes concerned (or to the benefit of any person controlling such Agent), if a copy of the Prospectus (not including documents incorporated by reference therein) or of the Prospectus as then amended or supplemented (not including documents incorporated by reference therein) was not sent or given to such person at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of such Notes to such person.

(b) Each Agent severally agrees that it will indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the Guarantor, their officers and directors, and each of them, and each person, if any, who controls the Company and the Guarantor within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act, against any loss, expense, claim, damage or liability to which it or they may become subject, under the 1933 Act or otherwise, insofar as such loss, expense, claim, damage or liability (or actions in respect thereof) arises out of or is based on any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement to any thereof, or arises out of or is based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, and only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in any such documents in reliance upon, and in conformity with, written information furnished to the Guarantor or the Company by or through any Agent expressly for use in any such document; and, except as hereinafter in this Section provided, each Agent agrees to reimburse the Company and the Guarantor, their officers and directors, and each of them, and each person, if any, who controls the Company and the Guarantor within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act, for any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred by it or them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, expense, claim, damage or liability.

-27-

(c) Upon receipt of notice of the commencement of any action against an indemnified party, the indemnified party shall, with reasonable promptness, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party under its agreement contained in this Section 9, notify such indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to the indemnified party otherwise than under its agreement contained in this
Section 9. In the case of any such notice to an indemnifying party, it shall be entitled to participate at its own expense in the defense, or if it so elects, to assume the defense, of any such action, but, if it elects to assume the defense, such defense shall be conducted by counsel chosen by it and satisfactory to the indemnified party and to any other indemnifying party, defendant in the suit. In the event that any indemnifying party elects to assume the defense of any such action and retain such counsel, the indemnified party shall bear the fees and expenses of any additional counsel retained by it. No indemnifying party shall be liable in the event of any settlement of any such action effected without its consent except as provided in Section 9(e) hereof. Each indemnified party agrees promptly to notify each indemnifying party of the commencement of any litigation or proceedings against it in connection with the issue and sale of the Notes.

(d) If any Agent or person entitled to indemnification by the terms of subsection (a) of this Section 9 shall have given notice to the Company and the Guarantor of a claim in respect thereof pursuant to Section 9(c) hereunder, and if such claim for indemnification is thereafter held by a court to be unavailable for any reason other than by reason of the terms of this
Section 9 or if such claim is unavailable under controlling precedent, such Agent or person shall be entitled to contribution from the Company and the Guarantor to liabilities and expenses, except to the extent that contribution is not permitted under Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act. In determining the amount of contribution to which such Agent or person is entitled, there shall be considered the relative benefits received by such Agent or person and the Company and the Guarantor from the offering of the Notes that were the subject of the claim for indemnification (taking into account the portion of the proceeds of the offering realized by each), the Agent or person's relative knowledge and access to information concerning the matter with respect to which the claim was asserted, the opportunity to correct and

-28-

prevent any statement or omission, and any other equitable considerations appropriate under the circumstances. The Company and the Guarantor and the Agents agree that it would not be equitable if the amount of such contribution were determined by pro rata or per capita allocation (even if the Agents were treated as one entity for such purpose).

(e) No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever in respect of which indemnification or contribution could be sought under this Section 9 (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties thereto), unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party and all liability arising out of such litigation, investigation, proceeding or claim, and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or the failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

(f) The indemnity and contribution provided for in this Section 9 and the representations and warranties of the Company, the Guarantor and the several Agents set forth in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Agent or any person controlling any Agent, the Company, its directors or officers, the Guarantor or any person controlling the Guarantor, (ii) acceptance of any Notes and payment therefor under this Agreement, and (iii) any termination of this Agreement.

10. Default of Agents.

If the Company and two or more Agents enter into an agreement pursuant to which such Agents agree to purchase Notes from the Company as principal and one or more of such Agents shall fail at the Settlement Date to purchase the Notes which it or they are obligated to purchase (the "Defaulted Notes"), then the non-defaulting Agents may make arrangements satisfactory to the Company for one of them or one or more other Agents or any other agents to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Defaulted Notes in such amounts as may be agreed upon and upon the terms herein set forth in this Agreement. If, however, no such arrangements shall have been made within 24 hours thereafter, then the

-29-

non-defaulting Agents shall be obligated, severally and not jointly, to purchase the full amount thereof in the proportions which their respective initial underwriting obligations bear to the underwriting obligations of all non-defaulting Agents. In the event of any such default, either the non-defaulting Agents or the Company may by prompt written notice to such other parties postpone the Settlement Date for a period of not more than seven full business days in order to effect whatever changes may thereby be made necessary in the Registration Statement or Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements, and the Company will promptly file any amendments to the Registration Statement or Supplements to the Prospectus which may thereby be made necessary. As used in this Agreement, the term "Agent" includes any person substituted for an Agent under this Section 10.

Nothing in this Section 10 shall relieve an Agent from liability for its default.

11. Survival of Certain Representations and Obligations.

The respective indemnities, agreements, representations and warranties of the Company and the Guarantor and of or on behalf of the Agents set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation, or statement as to the results thereof, made by or on behalf of any Agent or the Company and the Guarantor or any of their respective officers, directors, or any controlling person, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Notes. If for any reason the purchase of the Notes by the Agents is not consummated, the Company shall remain responsible for the expenses to be paid or reimbursed by it pursuant to Sections 5(c) and 6, and the respective obligations of the Company, the Guarantor and the Agents pursuant to Sections 9, 11, 12 and 14 hereof shall remain in effect.

12. Termination.

(a) This Agreement (excluding any agreement by one or more Agents to purchase Notes as principal) may be terminated, for any reason at any time, by either the Company or an Agent, as to itself, upon the giving of 30 days' prior written notice of such termination to the other party hereto.

(b) The applicable Agent(s) may terminate any agreement by such Agent(s) to purchase Notes as principal, immediately upon notice to the Company and the Guarantor, at any time prior to the Settlement Date relating thereto, if
(i) there has been, since the date of such Terms Agreement or since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Prospectus, as amended or supplemented to such date, any change or any development involving a prospective change in or affecting particularly the business or properties of the Guarantor, which, in the judgment of any such Agent, materially impairs the investment quality of such Notes; (ii) there has been any suspension or limitation of trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange, or any setting of minimum or maximum prices for trading on such exchange, or any suspension or limitation of trading of any securities of the Company or the Guarantor on any exchange or in the over-the-counter market; (iii) a general banking moratorium has been declared by Federal or New York authorities; (iv) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of major hostilities in which the United States is involved, any declaration of war by Congress or any other substantial national or international calamity or emergency if, in the reasonable judgment of such Agent, in each case the effect of which makes it impractical and inadvisable to proceed with completion of the sale of and payment for the Notes and such Agent makes a similar determination with respect to all other underwritings of medium-term notes of utilities or utility holding companies in which it is participating and has the contractual right to make such a determination; or (v) there has been any decrease in the ratings of the Program or any debt securities of the Company or the Guarantor (including the Notes) that existed as of the date of such agreement by any "nationally recognized statistical rating organization" (as defined for purposes of Rule 436(g) under the 1933 Act) or if such organization shall have publicly announced that it has under surveillance or review, with possible negative implications, its rating of the Program or any such debt securities.

(c) In the event of any such termination, no party will have any liability to the other parties hereto, except that (i) the Agents shall be entitled to any commissions earned in accordance with the third paragraph of
Section 3(b) hereof, (ii) if at the time of termination (a) any Agent shall own any Notes purchased by it as principal pursuant to a Terms Agreement or (b) an offer to purchase any of the Notes has been accepted by the Company but the

-31-

time of delivery to the purchaser or his agent of such Notes relating thereto has not occurred, the covenants set forth in Sections 5 and 8 hereof shall remain in effect until such Notes are so resold or delivered, as the case may be, and (iii) the covenant set forth in Section 5(h) hereof, the provisions of
Section 6 hereof, the indemnity and contribution agreements set forth in Section 9 hereof, and the provisions of Sections 11, 14 and 15 hereof shall remain in effect.

PP&L CAPITAL FUNDING, INC.

ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES

for Fixed Rate and Floating Rate Medium-Term Notes, Series A
(Dated as of November 12, 1997)

Medium-Term Notes, Series A (the "Notes") in an aggregate principal amount of up to $400,000,000 are to be offered on a continuous basis by PP&L Capital Funding, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), to or through Merrill Lynch & Co., Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, First Chicago Capital Markets, Inc., Goldman, Sachs & Co. and Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated (each, an "Agent" and, collectively, the "Agents") pursuant to a Distribution Agreement, dated November 12, 1997 (the "Distribution Agreement"), by and among the Company, PP&L Resources, Inc. (the "Guarantor") and the Agents. Each of the Notes is to be unconditionally guaranteed as to payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest by the Guarantor pursuant to guarantees of the Guarantor (the "Guarantees"). The Distribution Agreement provides both for the sale of Notes by the Company to one or more of the Agents as principal for resale to investors and other purchasers and for the sale of Notes by the Company directly to investors through one or more Agents (as may from time to time be agreed to by the Company and the related Agent or Agents), in which case each such Agent will act as an agent of the Company in soliciting purchases of Notes.

Unless otherwise agreed by the related Agent or Agents and the Company, Notes will be purchased by the related Agent or Agents as principal. Such purchases will be made in accordance with the applicable Terms Agreement as provided in the Distribution Agreement. If agreed upon by any Agent or Agents and the Company, the Agent or Agents, acting solely as agent or agents for the Company and not as principal, will use reasonable efforts to solicit offers to purchase the Notes. Only those provisions in these Administrative Procedures that are applicable to the particular role to be performed by the related Agent or Agents shall apply to the offer and sale of the relevant Notes.

-39-

The Notes will be issued under an Indenture, dated as of November 1, 1997, as amended, supplemented or modified from time to time (the "Indenture"), between the Company, the Guarantor and The Chase Manhattan Bank ("Chase"), as trustee (together with any successor in such capacity, the "Trustee"). The Company and the Guarantor have filed a joint Registration Statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") registering debt securities, including the Notes and the Guarantees (the "Registration Statement", which term shall include any additional registration statements filed in connection with the Notes and the Guarantees). The most recent base prospectus deemed part of the Registration Statement, as supplemented by a Prospectus supplement relating to the Notes, is herein referred to as "Prospectus". The most recent supplement to the Prospectus setting forth the purchase price, interest rate or formula, maturity date and other terms of the Notes (as applicable) is herein referred to as the "Pricing Supplement".

The Notes will either be issued (a) in book-entry form and represented by one or more fully registered Notes without coupons (each, a "Global Note") delivered to Chase, as agent for The Depository Company ("DTC"), and recorded in the book-entry system maintained by DTC, or (b) in certificated form (each, a "Certificated Note") delivered to the investor or other purchaser thereof or a person designated by such investor or other purchaser.

General procedures relating to the issuance of all Notes are set forth in Part I hereof. Additionally, Notes issued in book-entry form will be issued in accordance with the procedures set forth in Part II hereof, as adjusted from time to time in accordance with changes in DTC's operating requirements, and Certificated Notes will be issued in accordance with the procedures set forth in Part III hereof. To the extent any procedure set forth below conflicts with the provisions of the Notes, the Indenture or the Distribution Agreement, the relevant provisions of the Notes, the Indenture and the Distribution Agreement, respectively, shall control. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Notes, the Indenture or the Distribution Agreement as the case may be.

                                    Date").  The Original Issue Date shall
                                    remain the same for all Notes

                                    selected by the investor or other purchaser
                                    and agreed to by the
                                    Company.

Guarantees:                         Each of the Notes is to be
                                    unconditionally guaranteed as to payment
                                    of principal, premium, if any, and

                                    terms of the Notes, which will be fixed
                                    at the time of sale and set forth in the
                                    applicable Pricing Supplement.  If no
                                    Initial Redemption Date is indicated
                                    with respect to a Note, such Note will

                                    Holder prior to its Stated Maturity Date.

Calculation of
  Interest:                         In case of Fixed Rate Notes, interest
                                    (including payments for partial periods)
                                    will be calculated and paid on the basis
                                    of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day
                                    months.

                                    The interest rate on each Floating Rate Note
                                    will be calculated by reference to

-42-

                                    the specified Interest Rate Basis or Bases
                                    plus or minus the applicable Spread, if any,
                                    and/or multiplied by the applicable Spread
                                    Multiplier, if any.

                                    Unless and until otherwise authorized by the
                                    Guarantor and the Company and provided in
                                    the applicable Pricing Supplement, the
                                    interest rate on any Fixed Rate Note will
                                    not exceed 9 1/2% per annum.

                                    Unless otherwise provided in the applicable
                                    Pricing Supplement, interest on each
                                    Floating Rate Note will be calculated by
                                    multiplying its principal amount by an
                                    accrued interest factor. Such accrued
                                    interest factor is computed by adding the
                                    interest factor calculated for each day in
                                    the period for which accrued interest is
                                    being calculated. Unless otherwise provided
                                    in the applicable Pricing Supplement, the
                                    interest factor for each such day is
                                    computed by dividing the interest rate
                                    applicable to such day by 360 if the
                                    Commercial Paper Rate, Federal Funds Rate,
                                    LIBOR or Prime Rate is an applicable
                                    Interest Rate Basis, or by the actual number
                                    of days in the year if the CMT Rate or
                                    Treasury Rate is an applicable Interest Rate
                                    Basis. The interest factor for Notes for
                                    which the interest rate is calculated with
                                    reference to two or more Interest Rate Bases
                                    will be calculated as provided in the
                                    applicable Pricing Supplement.

Interest:                           General.  Each Note will bear interest
                                    in accordance with its terms.  Unless
                                    otherwise provided in the applicable
                                    Pricing Supplement, interest on each
                                    Note will accrue from and including the
                                    Original Issue Date of such Note for the
                                    first interest period or from the most
                                    recent Interest Payment Date (as defined
                                    below) to which interest has been paid or
                                    duly provided for all subsequent

-43-

interest periods to but excluding the next applicable Interest Payment Date or the Stated Maturity Date or date of earlier redemption or repayment, as the case may be (the Stated Maturity Date or date of earlier redemption or repayment is referred to herein as the "Maturity Date" with respect to the principal repayable on such date).

If an Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date with respect to any Fixed Rate Note falls on a day that is not a Business Day (as defined below), the required payment to be made on such day need not be made on such day, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on such day, and no interest shall accrue on such payment for the period from and after such day to the next succeeding Business Day. If an Interest Payment Date other than the Maturity Date with respect to any Floating Rate Note would otherwise fall on a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Payment Date will be postponed to the next succeeding Business Day, except that in the case of a Note for which LIBOR is an applicable Interest Rate Basis, if such Business Day falls in the next succeeding calendar month, such Interest Payment Date will be the immediately preceding Business Day. If the Maturity Date with respect to any Floating Rate Note falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the required payment to be made on such day need not be made on such day, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on such day, and no interest shall accrue on such payment for the period from and after the Maturity Date to the next succeeding Business Day. Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Pricing Supplement, "Business Day" means any day, other than a Saturday or

-44-

Sunday, that is not a day on which banking institutions or trust companies are generally authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close in The City of New York; provided that, with respect to Notes for which LIBOR is an applicable Interest Rate Basis, such day is also a London Business Day (as defined below). "London Business Day" means any day on which dealings in deposits in United States Dollars are transacted in the London interbank market.

Regular Record Dates. Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Pricing Supplement, the "Regular Record Date" for a Fixed Rate Note shall be the January 31 or July 31 immediately preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date and the "Regular Record Date" for a Floating Rate Note shall be the date 15 calendar days (whether or not a Business Day) preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date.

Interest Payment Dates. Interest payments will be made on each Interest Payment Date commencing with the first Interest Payment Date following the Original Issue Date; provided, however, the first payment of interest on any Note originally issued between a Regular Record Date and an Interest Payment Date will occur on the Interest Payment Date following the next succeeding Regular Record Date.

Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Pricing Supplement, interest payments on Fixed Rate Notes will be made semiannually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year and on the Maturity Date, while interest payments on Floating Rate Notes will be made as specified in the Prospectus and the applicable Pricing Supplement.

                                    part, and any such rejection shall not
                                    be a breach of such Agent's agreement
                                    contained in the Distribution Agreement.
                                    The Company has the sole right to accept

                                    rejection shall not be a breach of the
                                    Company's agreement contained in the
                                    Distribution Agreement.  Each Agent has
                                    agreed to make reasonable efforts to
                                    assist the Company in obtaining
                                    performance by each purchaser whose
                                    offer to purchase Notes has been
                                    solicited by such Agent and accepted by

Procedure for
  Changing Rates
  or Other
  Variable Terms:                   When a decision has been reached to
                                    change the interest rate or any other
                                    variable term on any Notes being sold by
                                    the Company, the Company will promptly
                                    advise the Agents and the Trustee by
                                    facsimile transmission and the Agents
                                    will forthwith suspend solicitation of
                                    offers to purchase such Notes.  The
                                    Agents will telephone the Company with
                                    recommendations as to the changed
                                    interest rates or other variable terms.
                                    At such time as the Company notifies the
                                    Agents and the Trustee of the new
                                    interest rates or other variable terms,
                                    the Agents may resume solicitation of
                                    offers to purchase such Notes.  Until
                                    such time, only "indications of
                                    interest" may be recorded.  Immediately
                                    after acceptance by the Company of an
                                    offer to purchase Notes at a new
                                    interest rate or new variable term, the
                                    Company, the Offering Agent and the
                                    Trustee shall follow the procedures set
                                    forth under the applicable "Settlement
                                    Procedures".

Suspension of
  Solicitation;
  Amendment or
  Supplement:                       The Company may instruct the Agents to
                                    suspend solicitation of offers to
                                    purchase Notes at any time.  Upon
                                    receipt of such instructions, the Agents
                                    will forthwith suspend solicitation of

-50-

offers to purchase from the Company until such time as the Company has advised the Agents that solicitation of offers to purchase may be resumed. If the Company or the Guarantor decides to amend or supplement the Registration Statement or the Prospectus (other than to establish or change interest rates or formulas, maturities, prices or other similar variable terms with respect to the Notes), it will promptly advise the Agents and will furnish the Agents and their counsel with copies of the proposed amendment or supplement.

                                    for the reservation of one series of
                                    CUSIP numbers, which series consists of
                                    approximately 900 CUSIP numbers which
                                    have been reserved for and relating to
                                    Global Notes, and the Company has
                                    delivered to each of Chase and DTC such
                                    list of such CUSIP numbers.  Chase will

                                    unassigned to Global Notes, and, if it
                                    deems necessary, the Company will
                                    reserve and obtain additional CUSIP
                                    numbers for assignment to Global Notes.

                                    such date. Prior to the specified exchange
                                    date, Chase will deliver to the CUSIP
                                    Service Bureau written notice setting forth

                                    such Global Notes for a single Global Note

                                    numbers of the exchanged Notes will, in

                                    reassigned. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
                                    if the Global Notes to be exchanged exceed
                                    $200,000,000 in aggregate principal amount,
                                    one replacement Note will be authenticated
                                    and issued to represent each $200,000,000 in
                                    aggregate principal amount of the exchanged
                                    Global Notes and an additional Global Note
                                    or Notes will be authenticated and issued to
                                    represent any remaining principal amount of
                                    such Global Notes (See "Denominations"
                                    below).

                                    multiples thereof.  Global Notes will
                                    not be denominated in excess of $200,000,000

                                    If one or more Notes are issued in
                                    book-entry form in excess of $200,000,000

                                    by a single Global Note, then one Global
                                    Note will be issued to represent each
                                    $200,000,000 in aggregate principal amount
                                    of such Notes issued in book-entry form and
                                    an additional Global Note or Notes will be
                                    issued to represent any remaining aggregate
                                    principal amount of such Note or Notes
                                    issued in book-entry form. In such a case,
                                    each of the Global Notes representing Notes
                                    issued in book-entry form shall be assigned
                                    the same CUSIP number.

                                    and the total of such amounts.  DTC will
                                    confirm the amount payable on each

                                    will pay to Chase in immediately
                                    available funds an amount sufficient to
                                    pay the interest then due and owing on
                                    the Global Notes, and upon receipt of

                                    of interest due on such Global Notes

Notice of Interest Rates. Promptly after each Interest Determination Date or Calculation Date, as the case may be, for Floating Rate Notes issued in book-entry form, Chase will notify each of Moody's Investors Service, Inc. and Standard & Poor's Corporation of the interest rates determined as of such Interest Determination Date.

Payments at Maturity. On or about the first Business Day of each month, Chase will deliver to the Company and DTC a written list of principal, premium, if any, and interest (to the extent known) to be paid on each Global Note maturing or otherwise becoming due in the following month. Chase, the Company and DTC will confirm the amounts of such principal, premium, if any, and interest payments with respect to each such Global Note on or about the fifth Business Day preceding the Maturity Date of such Global Note. On the Maturity Date, the Company will pay to Chase in immediately available funds an amount sufficient to make the required payments, and upon receipt of such funds Chase in turn will pay to DTC the principal amount of Global Notes, together with premium, if any, and interest due on the Maturity Date, at the times and in the manner set forth below under "Manner of Payment". Promptly after payment to DTC of the principal, premium, if any, and interest due on the Maturity Date of such Global Note, the Trustee will cancel such Global Note and deliver it to the Company with an appropriate debit advice. On the first Business Day of each month, the Trustee will deliver to the Company a written statement indicating the total principal amount of outstanding Global Notes as of the close of business on the immediately preceding Business Day.

-59-

Manner of Payment. The total amount of any principal, premium, if any, and interest due on Global Notes on any Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date, as the case may be, shall be paid by the Company to Chase in funds available for use by the Trustee no later than 10:00 A.M., New York City time, on such date. The Company will make such payment on such Global Notes to an account specified by Chase. Upon receipt of such funds, Chase will pay by separate wire transfer (using Fedwire message entry instructions in a form previously specified by DTC) to an account at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York previously specified by DTC, in funds available for immediate use by DTC, each payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest due on Global Notes on such date. Thereafter on such date, DTC will pay, in accordance with its SDFS operating procedures then in effect, such amounts in funds available for immediate use to the respective Participants in whose names the beneficial interests in such Global Notes are recorded in the book-entry system maintained by DTC. Neither the Company, the Guarantor nor Chase shall have any responsibility or liability for the payment by DTC of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, the Global Notes.

Withholding Taxes. The amount of any taxes required under applicable law to be withheld from any interest payment on a Global Note will be determined and withheld by the Participant, indirect participant in DTC or other Person responsible for forwarding payments and materials directly to the beneficial owner of such Global Note.

                                    immediately preceding the scheduled
                                    Settlement Date.

Failure to Settle:                  If Chase fails to enter an SDFS deliver
                                    order with respect to a Note issued in
                                    book-entry form pursuant to Settlement
                                    Procedure F, Chase may deliver to DTC,
                                    through DTC's Participant Terminal
                                    System, as soon as practicable, a
                                    withdrawal message instructing DTC to
                                    debit such Note to the participant
                                    account of Chase maintained at DTC.  DTC
                                    will process the withdrawal message,
                                    provided that such participant account
                                    contains a principal amount of the
                                    Global Note representing such Note that
                                    is at least equal to the principal
                                    amount to be debited.  If withdrawal
                                    messages are processed with respect to
                                    all the Notes represented by a Global
                                    Note, the Trustee will mark such Global
                                    Note "canceled", make appropriate
                                    entries in its records and send
                                    certification of destruction of such
                                    canceled Global Note to the Company.
                                    The CUSIP number assigned to such Global
                                    Note shall, in accordance with CUSIP
                                    Service Bureau procedures, be canceled
                                    and not immediately reassigned. If
                                    withdrawal messages are processed with
                                    respect to a portion of the Notes
                                    represented by a Global Note, Chase will
                                    exchange such Global Note for two Global
                                    Notes, one of which shall represent the
                                    Global Notes for which withdrawal
                                    messages are processed and shall be
                                    canceled immediately after issuance and the
                                    other of which shall represent the other
                                    Notes previously represented by the
                                    surrendered Global Note and shall bear the
                                    CUSIP number of the surrendered Global Note.

-68-

In the case of any Note in book-entry form sold through the Offering Agent, as agent, if the purchase price for any such Note is not timely paid to the Participants with respect thereto by the beneficial investor or other purchaser thereof (or a person, including an indirect participant in DTC, acting on behalf of such investor or other purchaser), such Participants and, in turn, the related Offering Agent may enter SDFS deliver orders through DTC's Participant Terminal System reversing the orders entered pursuant to Settlement Procedures F and G, respectively. Thereafter, Chase will deliver the withdrawal message and take the related actions described in the preceding paragraph. If such failure shall have occurred for any reason other than default by the applicable Offering Agent to perform its obligations hereunder or under the Distribution Agreement, the Company will reimburse such Offering Agent on an equitable basis for its reasonable loss of the use of funds during the period when the funds were credited to the account of the Company.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon any failure to settle with respect to a Note in book-entry form, DTC may take any actions in accordance with its SDFS operating procedures then in effect. In the event of a failure to settle with respect to a Note that was to have been represented by a Global Note also representing other Notes, the Trustee will provide, in accordance with Settlement Procedure D, for the authentication and issuance of a Global Note representing such remaining Notes and will make appropriate entries in its records.

                                    Certificated Note from the Offering Agent,
                                    will immediately advise the Company and the
                                    Company will promptly arrange to credit the
                                    account of the Offering Agent in an amount
                                    of immediately available funds equal to the
                                    amount previously paid to the Company by
                                    such Offering Agent in settlement for

such Certificated Note. Such credits will be made on the Settlement Date if possible, and in any event not later than the Business Day following the Settlement Date; provided that the Company has received notice on the same day. If such failure shall have occurred for any reason other than failure by such Offering Agent to perform its obligations hereunder or under the Distribution Agreement, the Company will reimburse such Offering Agent on an equitable basis for its reasonable loss of the use of funds during the period when the funds were credited to the account of the Company. Immediately upon receipt of the Certificated Note in respect of which the failure occurred, the Trustee will cancel and dispose of such Certificated Note in accordance with its customary procedures, make appropriate entries in its records to reflect the fact that such Certificated Note was never issued, and accordingly notify in the Company writing.

SECTION 103. FORM OF DOCUMENTS DELIVERED TO TRUSTEE.

Any Opinion of Counsel may be based (without further examination or investigation), insofar as it relates to or is dependent upon factual matters, information with respect to which is in the possession of the Company or the Guarantor, upon a certificate of, or representations by, an officer or officers of the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, unless such counsel has actual knowledge that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which his opinion may be based as aforesaid are erroneous. In addition, any Opinion of Counsel may be based (without further examination or investigation), insofar as it relates to or is dependent upon matters covered in an Opinion of Counsel rendered by other counsel, upon such other Opinion of Counsel, unless such counsel has actual knowledge that the Opinion of Counsel rendered by such other counsel with respect to the matters upon which his Opinion of Counsel may be based as aforesaid are erroneous. If, in order to render any Opinion of Counsel provided for herein, the signer thereof shall deem it necessary that additional facts or matters be stated in any Officer's Certificate provided for herein, then such certificate may state all such additional facts or matters as the signer of such Opinion of Counsel may request.

Where (i) any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other instruments under this Indenture, or (ii) two or more Persons are each required to make, give or execute any such application, request, consent, certificate, statement, opinion or other instrument, any such applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other instruments may, but need not, be consolidated and form one instrument.

(c) Whenever, subsequent to the receipt by the Trustee of any Board Resolution, Officer's Certificate, Opinion of Counsel or other document or instrument, a clerical, typographical or other inadvertent or unintentional error or omission shall be discovered therein, a new document or instrument may be substituted therefor in corrected form with the same force and effect as if originally filed in the corrected form and, irrespective of the date or dates of the actual execution and/or delivery thereof, such substitute document or instrument shall be deemed to have been executed and/or delivered as of the date or dates required with respect to the document or instrument for which it is substituted. Anything in this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, if any such corrective document or instrument indicates that action has been taken by or at the request of the Company which could not have been taken had the original document or instrument not contained such error or omission, the action so taken shall not be invalidated or otherwise rendered ineffective but shall be and remain in full force and effect, except to the extent that such action was a result of willful misconduct or bad faith. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any Securities issued under the authority of such defective document or instrument shall nevertheless be the valid obligations of the Company entitled to the benefits of this Indenture equally and ratably with all other Outstanding Securities, except as aforesaid.

SECTION 104. ACTS OF HOLDERS.

(a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, election, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be made, 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 an agent duly appointed in writing or, alternatively, may be embodied in and evidenced by the record of Holders voting in favor thereof, either in person or by proxies duly appointed in writing, at any meeting of Holders duly called and held in accordance with the provisions of Article Thirteen, or a combination of such instruments and any such record. Except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments or record or both are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Company and the Guarantor. Such instrument or instruments and any such record (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the "Act" of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments and so voting at any such meeting. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent, or of the holding by any Person of a Security, shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 901) conclusive in favor of the Trustee, the Company and the Guarantor, if made in the manner provided in this Section. The record of any meeting of Holders shall be proved in the manner provided in
Section 1306.

(b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by a certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof or may be proved in any other manner which the Trustee and the Company deem sufficient. 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.

(c) The ownership, principal amount (except as otherwise contemplated in clause (y) of the first proviso to the definition of Outstanding) and serial numbers of Securities held by any Person, and the date of holding the same, shall be proved by the Security Register.

(d) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, election, waiver or other Act of a Holder 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, the Company or the Guarantor in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Security.

(e) Until such time as written instruments shall have been delivered to the Trustee with respect to the requisite percentage of principal amount of Securities for the action contemplated by such instruments, any such instrument executed and delivered by or on behalf of a Holder may be revoked with respect to any or all of such Securities by written notice by such Holder or any subsequent Holder, proven in the manner in which such instrument was proven.

(f) Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, authenticated and delivered after any Act of Holders may, and shall if required by the Trustee, bear a notation in form approved by the Trustee as to any action taken by such Act of Holders. If the Company shall so determine, new Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Trustee and the Company, to such action may be prepared and executed by the Company and the Guarantor and authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in exchange for Outstanding Securities of such series or Tranche.

(g) Each of the Company and the Guarantor may, at its option, by Company Order or Guarantor Order, as appropriate, fix in advance a record date for the determination of Holders entitled to give any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act solicited by the Company, but neither the Company nor the Guarantor shall have any obligation to do so; provided, however, that neither the Company nor the Guarantor may fix a record date for the giving or making of any notice, declaration, request or direction referred to in the next sentence. In addition, the Trustee may, at its option, fix in advance a record date for the determination of Holders entitled to join in the giving or making of any Notice of Default, any declaration of acceleration referred to in Section 802, any request to institute proceedings referred to in Section 807 or any direction referred to in Section 812. If any such record date is fixed, such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, or such notice, declaration, request or direction, may be given before or after such record date, but only the Holders of record at the close of business on the record date shall be deemed to be Holders for the purposes of determining (i) whether Holders of the requisite proportion of the Outstanding Securities have authorized or agreed or consented to such Act (and for that purpose the Outstanding Securities shall be computed as of the record date) and/or (ii) which Holders may revoke any such Act (notwithstanding subsection (e) of this Section ); and any such Act, given as aforesaid, shall be effective whether or not the Holders which authorized or agreed or consented to such Act remain Holders after such record date and whether or not the Securities held by such Holders remain Outstanding after such record date.

In any case where any Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated Maturity of any Security shall not be a Business Day at any Place of Payment, then (notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or of the Securities other than a provision in Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, or in the indenture supplemental hereto, Board Resolution or Officer's Certificate which establishes the terms of the Securities of such series or Tranche, which specifically states that such provision shall apply in lieu of this Section) payment of interest or principal and premium, if any, need not be made at such Place of Payment on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day at such Place of Payment with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date, or Stated Maturity, and, if such payment is made or duly provided for on such Business Day, no interest shall accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated Maturity, as the case may be, to such Business Day.

Unless otherwise provided with respect to a series of Securities as contemplated in Section 301(b), the aggregate principal amount of a series of Securities may be increased and additional Securities of such series may be issued up to the maximum aggregate principal amount authorized with respect to such series as increased.

SECTION 302. DENOMINATIONS.

SECTION 303. EXECUTION, AUTHENTICATION, DELIVERY AND DATING.

Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to any series of Securities or any Tranche thereof, the Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by an Authorized Officer of the Company, and may have the corporate seal of the Company affixed thereto or reproduced thereon attested by its Secretary, one of its Assistant Secretaries or any other Authorized Officer. The signature of any or all of these officers on the Securities may be manual or facsimile.

A Security bearing the manual or facsimile signature of an individual who was at the time of execution an Authorized Officer of the Company shall bind the Company, notwithstanding that any such individual has ceased to be an Authorized Officer prior to the authentication and delivery of the Security or did not hold such office at the date of such Security.

Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 301, with respect to any series of Securities or any Tranche thereof, Guarantees to be endorsed on any Securities shall be executed and delivered in accordance with the provisions of Section 1402.

The Trustee shall authenticate and deliver Securities of a series, with the Guarantees endorsed thereon, for original issue, at one time or from time to time in accordance with the Company Order referred to below, upon receipt by the Trustee of:

(a) the instrument or instruments establishing the form or forms and terms of the Securities of such series and the Guarantees to be endorsed thereon, as provided in Sections 201 and 301;

(b) a Company Order requesting the authentication and delivery of such Securities, with the Guarantees endorsed thereon, and, to the extent that the terms of such Securities and Guarantees shall not have been established in an indenture supplemental hereto or in a Board Resolution, or in an Officer's Certificate pursuant to a supplemental indenture or Board Resolution, all as contemplated by Sections 201 and 301, either
(i) establishing such terms or (ii) in the case of Securities of a series subject to a Periodic Offering, specifying procedures, acceptable to the Trustee, by which such terms are to be established (which procedures may provide, to the extent acceptable to the Trustee, for authentication and delivery pursuant to oral or electronic instructions from the Company or any agent or agents thereof, which oral instructions are to be promptly confirmed electronically or in writing), in either case in accordance with the instrument or instruments delivered pursuant to clause (a) above;

(c) A Guarantor Order approving the terms and delivery of the Guarantees to be endorsed on such Securities as contemplated by the Company Order delivered pursuant to clause (b) above;

(d) Securities of such series, each executed on behalf of the Company by an Authorized Officer of the Company and having a Guarantee endorsed thereon executed on behalf of the Guarantor by an Authorized Officer of the Guarantor;

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

(i) (A) the forms of such Securities have been duly authorized by the Company, (B) the forms of such Guarantees have been duly authorized by the Guarantor, and (C) the forms of the Securities and the Guarantees have been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture;

(ii) (A) the terms of such Securities have been duly authorized by the Company, (B) the terms of such Guarantees have been duly authorized by the Guarantor and (C) the terms of the Securities and the Guarantees have been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; and

(iii) such Securities and the Guarantees endorsed thereon, when authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and issued and delivered by the Company and the Guarantor in the manner and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will have been duly issued under this Indenture and will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company and the Guarantor, respectively, entitled to the benefits provided by this Indenture, and enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject, as to enforcement, to laws relating to or affecting generally the enforcement of creditors' rights, including, without limitation, bankruptcy and insolvency laws and to general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity as at law);

provided, however, that, with respect to Securities of a series subject to a Periodic Offering, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive such Opinion of Counsel only once at or prior to the time of the first authentication and delivery of Securities of such series, and the Guarantees endorsed thereon, and that in lieu of the opinions described in clauses (ii) and (iii) above such Opinion of Counsel may, alternatively, state, respectively,

(x) that, when the terms of such Securities and the Guarantees to be endorsed thereon shall have been established pursuant to a Company Order or Orders and, if applicable, a Guarantor Order or Orders or pursuant to such procedures as may be specified from time to time by a Company Order or Orders, and, if applicable, a Guarantor Order or Orders all as contemplated by and in accordance with the instrument or instruments delivered pursuant to clause (a) above, such terms will have been duly authorized by the Company and the Guarantor, respectively, and will have been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; and

(y) that such Securities, and the Guarantees endorsed thereon, when (1) executed by the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, (2) authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in accordance with this Indenture, (3) issued and delivered by the Company and the Guarantor and (4) paid for, all as contemplated by and in accordance with the aforesaid Company Order or Orders and, if applicable, a Guarantor Order or Orders or specified procedures, as the case may be, will have been duly issued under this Indenture and will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company and the Guarantor, respectively, entitled to the benefits provided by the Indenture, and enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject, as to enforcement, to laws relating to or affecting generally the enforcement of creditors' rights, including, without limitation, bankruptcy and insolvency laws and to general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

With respect to Securities of a series subject to a Periodic Offering, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the authorization by the Company and the Guarantor of any of such Securities and Guarantees, the forms and terms thereof and the legality, validity, binding effect and enforceability thereof, upon the Opinion of Counsel and other documents delivered pursuant to Sections 201 and 301 and this Section, as applicable, at or prior to the time of the first authentication of Securities of such series, with the Guarantees endorsed thereon, unless and until such opinion or other documents have been superseded or revoked or expire by their terms. In connection with the authentication and delivery of Securities of a series, with Guarantees endorsed thereon, pursuant to a Periodic Offering, the Trustee shall be entitled to assume that the Company's instructions to authenticate and deliver such Securities, and the Guarantor's approval of the delivery of the Guarantees thereon, do not violate any applicable law or any applicable rule, regulation or order of any governmental agency or commission having jurisdiction over the Company or the Guarantor.

If the forms or terms of the Securities of any series have been established by or pursuant to a Board Resolution or an Officer's Certificate as permitted by Sections 201 or 301, the Trustee shall not be required to authenticate such Securities if the issuance 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.

Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to any series of securities, or any Tranche thereof, each Security, and any Guarantee endorsed thereon, shall each be dated the date of its authentication.

Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to any series of Securities, or any Tranche thereof, no Security or Guarantee endorsed thereon 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 or its agent by manual signature of an authorized officer thereof, and such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security or Guarantee endorsed thereon has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Security shall have been authenticated and delivered hereunder to the Company, or any Person acting on its behalf, but shall never have been 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 (which need not comply with Section 102 and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel) stating that such Security has never been issued and sold by the Company, for all purposes of this Indenture such Security (including any Guarantee endorsed thereon) shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall never be entitled to the benefits hereof.

SECTION 304. TEMPORARY SECURITIES.

Pending the preparation of definitive Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, the Company may execute, and upon Company Order and a Guarantor 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, having Guarantees endorsed thereon, with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers executing such Securities or Guarantees may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Securities or Guarantees; provided, however, that temporary Securities need not recite specific redemption, sinking fund, conversion or exchange provisions.

If temporary Securities of any series or Tranche are issued, the Company shall cause definitive Securities of such series or Tranche to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Securities of such series or Tranche, the temporary Securities of such series or Tranche shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities of such series or Tranche, with the definitive Guarantees of the Guarantor endorsed thereon, upon surrender of the temporary Securities of such series or Tranche at the office or agency of the Company maintained pursuant to Section 602 in a Place of Payment for such series or Tranche, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Securities of any series or Tranche, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor definitive Securities of the same series or Tranche, of authorized denominations and of like tenor and aggregate principal amount, with the definitive Guarantees of the Guarantor endorsed thereon.

Until exchanged in full as hereinabove provided, temporary Securities shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities of the same series and Tranche and of like tenor authenticated and delivered hereunder.

SECTION 305. REGISTRATION, REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE.

The Company shall cause to be kept in one of the offices or agencies designated pursuant to Section 602, with respect to the Securities of each series or any Tranche thereof, a register (the "Security Register") in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of Securities of such series or Tranche and the registration of transfer thereof. The Company shall designate one Person to maintain the Security Register for the Securities of each series, and such Person is referred to herein, with respect to such series, as the "Security Registrar." Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company may designate one or more of its offices or an office of any Affiliate (including the Guarantor) as an office in which a register with respect to the Securities of one or more series, or any Tranche or Tranches thereof, shall be maintained, and the Company may designate itself or any Affiliate (including the Guarantor) as the Security Registrar with respect to one or more of such series. The Security Register shall be open for inspection by the Trustee and the Company at all reasonable times.

Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to the Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Security of such series or Tranche at the office or agency of the Company maintained pursuant to Section 602 in a Place of Payment for such series or Tranche, 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 and Tranche, of authorized denominations and of like tenor and aggregate principal amount, with the Guarantees of the Guarantor endorsed thereon.

Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to the Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, any Security of such series or Tranche may be exchanged at the option of the Holder for one or more new Securities of the same series and Tranche, of authorized denominations and of like tenor and aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged at any such office or agency. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities, with the Guarantees of the Guarantor endorsed thereon, which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

All Securities and Guarantees delivered upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities and the Guarantees endorsed thereon shall be valid obligations of the Company and the Guarantor, respectively, evidencing the same obligation, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Securities and Guarantees surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

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

Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, with respect to Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, 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, 406 or 1206 not involving any transfer.

The Company shall not be required to execute or to provide for the registration of transfer of or the exchange of (a) Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, during a period of 15 days immediately preceding the date notice is to be given identifying the serial numbers of the Securities of such series or Tranche called for redemption or (b) any Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part.

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 Tranche, and of like tenor and principal amount, having a Guarantee of the Guarantor endorsed thereon and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

If there shall be delivered to the Company, the Guarantor and the Trustee (a) evidence to their satisfaction of the ownership of and the destruction, loss or theft of any Security and (b) such security or indemnity as may be reasonably required by them to save each of them and any agent of any of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company, the Guarantor or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new Security of the same series and Tranche, and of like tenor and principal amount, having a Guarantee of the Guarantor endorsed thereon and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company or the Guarantor 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 reasonable expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) in connection therewith.

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

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.

Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to the Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, 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 related Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder, and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company or the Guarantor, at its election in each case, as provided in clause (a) or (b) below:

(a) The Company or the Guarantor 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 date (a "Special Record Date") for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company or the Guarantor 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 or the Guarantor, as the case may be, 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 and the Guarantor of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company or the Guarantor, shall promptly 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 the address of such Holder as it appears in the Security Register, not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been so mailed, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Securities of such series (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date.

(b) The Company or the Guarantor 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 or the Guarantor to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee.

Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section and
Section 305, each Security delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Security shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Security.

SECTION 308. PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS.

Prior to due presentment of a Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee and any agent of the Company, the Guarantor or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name such Security is registered as the absolute owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and premium, if any, and (subject to Sections 305 and 307) interest, if any, on such Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security be overdue, and none of the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee or any agent of the Company, the Guarantor 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 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 theretofore canceled, shall be promptly canceled by the Trustee. The Company or the Guarantor may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company or the Guarantor may have acquired in any manner whatsoever or which the Company shall not have issued and sold, and all Securities so delivered shall be promptly canceled by the Trustee. No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Securities canceled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All canceled Securities held by the Trustee shall be disposed of in accordance with the Trustee's customary procedures, and the Trustee shall promptly deliver a certificate of disposition to the Company unless, by a Company Order, the Company shall direct that canceled Securities be returned to it.

SECTION 310. COMPUTATION OF INTEREST.

Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for Securities of any series, or Tranche thereof, interest on the Securities of each series shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months, and with respect to any period less than a full calendar month, on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed during such period.

SECTION 311. PAYMENT TO BE IN PROPER CURRENCY.

In the case of any Security denominated in any currency other than Dollars or in a composite currency (the "Required Currency"), except as otherwise specified with respect to such Security as contemplated by Section 301, the obligation of the Company or the Guarantor to make any payment of the principal thereof, or the premium or interest thereon, shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender by the Company or the Guarantor, or recovery by the Trustee, in any currency other than the Required Currency, except to the extent that such tender or recovery shall result in the Trustee timely holding the full amount of the Required Currency then due and payable. If any such tender or recovery is in a currency other than the Required Currency, the Trustee may take such actions as it considers appropriate to exchange such currency for the Required Currency. The costs and risks of any such exchange, including without limitation the risks of delay and exchange rate fluctuation, shall be borne by the Company and the Guarantor, the Company and the Guarantor shall remain fully liable for any shortfall or delinquency in the full amount of Required Currency then due and payable, and in no circumstances shall the Trustee be liable therefor except in the case of its negligence or willful misconduct. The Company and the Guarantor hereby waive any defense of payment based upon any such tender or recovery which is not in the Required Currency, or which, when exchanged for the Required Currency by the Trustee, is less than the full amount of Required Currency then due and payable.

REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES

SECTION 401. APPLICABILITY OF ARTICLE.

Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, which are redeemable before their Stated Maturity shall be redeemable in accordance with their terms and (except as otherwise specified as con- templated by Section 301 for Securities of such series or Tranche) in accordance with this Article.

SECTION 402. ELECTION TO REDEEM; NOTICE TO TRUSTEE.

The election of the Company to redeem any Securities shall be evidenced by a Board Resolution or an Officer's Certificate. The Company shall, at least 45 days prior to the Redemption Date fixed by the Company (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the Trustee in writing of such Redemption Date and of the principal amount of such Securities to be redeemed. In the case of any redemption of Securities (a) prior to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided in the terms of such Securities or elsewhere in this Indenture or (b) pursuant to an election of the Company which is subject to a condition specified in the terms of such Securities, the Company and the Guarantor shall each furnish the Trustee with an Officer's Certificate evidencing compliance with such restriction or condition.

SECTION 403. SELECTION OF SECURITIES TO BE REDEEMED.

If less than all the Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, are to be redeemed, the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected by the Trustee from the Outstanding Securities of such series or Tranche not previously called for redemption, by such method as shall be provided for such particular series or Tranche, or in the absence of any such provision, by such method of random selection as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate and which may, in any case, provide for the selection for redemption of portions (equal to any authorized denomination for Securities of such series or Tranche) of the principal amount of Securities of such series or Tranche of a denomination larger than the minimum authorized denomination for Securities of such series or Tranche; provided, however, that if, as indicated in an Officer's Certificate, the Company shall have offered to purchase all or any principal amount of the Securities then Outstanding of any series, or any Tranche thereof, and less than all of such Securities as to which such offer was made shall have been tendered to the Company for such purchase, the Trustee, if so directed by Company Order, shall select for redemption all or any principal amount of such Securities which have not been so tendered.

The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the Securities selected for redemption and, in the case of any Securities selected to be redeemed in part, 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 404. NOTICE OF REDEMPTION.

Notice of redemption shall be given in the manner provided in Section 106 to the Holders of Securities to be redeemed not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date.

All notices of redemption shall state:

(a) the Redemption Date,

(b) the Redemption Price,

(c) if less than all the Securities of any series or Tranche are to be redeemed, the identification of the particular Securities to be redeemed and the portion of the principal amount of any Security to be redeemed in part,

(d) that on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price, together with accrued interest, if any, to the Redemption Date, 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,

(e) the place or places where such Securities are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest, if any, unless it shall have been specified as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to such Securities that such surrender shall not be required,

(f) that the redemption is for a sinking or other fund, if such is the case, and

(g) such other matters as the Company shall deem desirable or appropriate.

Unless otherwise specified with respect to any Securities in accordance with Section 301, with respect to any notice of redemption of Securities at the election of the Company, unless, upon the giving of such notice, such Securities shall be deemed to have been paid in accordance with Section 701, such notice may state that such redemption shall be conditional upon the receipt by the Paying Agent or Agents for such Securities, on or prior to the date fixed for such redemption, of money sufficient to pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on such Securities and that if such money shall not have been so received such notice shall be of no force or effect and the Company shall not be required to redeem such Securities. In the event that such notice of redemption contains such a condition and such money is not so received, the redemption shall not be made and within a reasonable time thereafter notice shall be given, in the manner in which the notice of redemption was given, that such money was not so received and such redemption was not required to be made.

Notice of redemption of Securities to be redeemed at the election of the Company, and any notice of non-satisfaction of a condition for redemption as aforesaid, shall be given by the Company or, on Company Request, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company.

SECTION 405. SECURITIES PAYABLE ON REDEMPTION DATE.

Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, and the conditions, if any, set forth in such notice having been satisfied, the Securities or portions thereof 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, in the case of an unconditional notice of redemption, the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest, if any) such Securities or portions thereof, if interest-bearing, shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any such Security for redemption in accordance with such notice, such Security or portion thereof shall be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price, together with accrued interest, if any, to the Redemption Date; provided, however, that no such surrender shall be a condition to such payment if so specified as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to such Security; and provided, further, that except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to such Security, any installment of interest on any Security the Stated Maturity of which installment is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holder of such Security, or one or more Predecessor Securities, registered as such at the close of business on the related Regular Record Date according to the terms of such Security and subject to the provisions of Sections 305 and 307.

SECTION 406. SECURITIES REDEEMED IN PART.

Upon the surrender of any Security which is to be redeemed only in part at a Place of Payment therefor (with, if the Company, the Guarantor or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company, the Guarantor and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing), 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 and Tranche, of any authorized denomination requested by such Holder and of like tenor and in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Security so surrendered, with the Guarantee of the Guarantor endorsed thereon.

ARTICLE FIVE

SINKING FUNDS

SECTION 501. APPLICABILITY OF ARTICLE.

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

The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the terms of Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, 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, or any Tranche thereof, is herein referred to as an "optional sinking fund payment". If provided for by the terms of Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, the cash amount of any sinking fund payment may be subject to reduction as provided in
Section 502. Each sinking fund payment shall be applied to the redemption of Securities of the series or Tranche in respect of which it was made as provided for by the terms of such Securities.

SECTION 502. SATISFACTION OF SINKING FUND PAYMENTS WITH SECURITIES.

The Company (a) may deliver to the Trustee Outstanding Securities (other than any previously called for redemption) of a series or Tranche in respect of which a mandatory sinking fund payment is to be made and (b) may apply as a credit Securities of such series or Tranche 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 such mandatory sinking fund payment; provided, however, that no Securities shall be applied in satisfaction of a mandatory sinking fund payment if such Securities shall have been previously so applied. Securities so applied 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 mandatory sinking fund payment shall be reduced accordingly.

SECTION 503. REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES FOR SINKING FUND.

Not less than 45 days prior to each sinking fund payment date for the Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer's Certificate specifying:

(a) the amount of the next succeeding mandatory sinking fund payment for such series or Tranche;

(b) the amount, if any, of the optional sinking fund payment to be made together with such mandatory sinking fund payment;

(c) the aggregate sinking fund payment;

(d) the portion, if any, of such aggregate sinking fund payment which is to be satisfied by the payment of cash;

(e) the portion, if any, of such aggregate sinking fund payment which is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting Securities of such series or Tranche pursuant to Section 502 and stating the basis for such credit and that such Securities have not previously been so credited, and the Company shall also deliver to the Trustee any Securities to be so delivered. If the Company shall not deliver such Officer's Certificate, the next succeeding sinking fund payment for such series or Tranche shall be made entirely in cash in the amount of the mandatory sinking fund payment. Not less than 30 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 403 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 404. Such notice having been duly given, the redemption of such Securities shall be made upon the terms and in the manner stated in Sections 405 and 406.

ARTICLE SIX

The Company and the Guarantor shall maintain in each Place of Payment for the Securities of each series, or any Tranche thereof, an office or agency where payment of such Securities shall be made or surrendered for payment, where registration of transfer or exchange of such Securities may be effected and where notices and demands to or upon the Company or the Guarantor in respect of such Securities and this Indenture may be served. The Company and the Guarantor shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of each such office or agency and prompt notice to the Holders of any such change in the manner specified in Section 106. If at any time the Company or the Guarantor shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency in respect of Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, payment of such Securities may be made, registration of transfer or exchange thereof may be effected and notices and demands in respect thereby may be served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and each of the Company and the Guarantor hereby appoint the Trustee as its agent for all such purposes in any such event.

The Company or the Guarantor may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies with respect to the Securities of one or more series, or any Tranche thereof, for any or all of the foregoing purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to the Securities of such series or Tranche, no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company or the Guarantor of its obligation to maintain an office or agency for such purposes in each Place of Payment for such Securities in accordance with the requirements set forth above. The Company and the Guarantor shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee, and prompt notice to the Holders in the manner specified in Section 106, of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency.

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, any office or agency required by this Section may be maintained at an office of the Company or the Guarantor or any Affiliate of either of them, in which event the Company, the Guarantor or such Affiliate, as the case may be, shall perform all functions to be performed at such office or agency.

SECTION 603. 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 the Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, it shall, on or before each due date of the principal of and premium, if any, or interest, if any, on any of such Securities, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a sum sufficient to pay the principal and premium or interest so becoming due until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and shall promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act.

Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents for the Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, it shall, prior to each due date of the principal of and premium, if any, or interest, if any, on such Securities, deposit with such Paying Agents sums sufficient (without duplication) to pay the principal and premium or interest so becoming due, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such principal, premium or interest, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company shall promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act.

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

(b) give the Trustee notice of any default by the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities of such series) in the making of any payment of principal of and premium, if any, or interest, if any, on the Securities of such series or Tranche; and

(c) 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 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, if as stated in a Company Order delivered to the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of Article Seven; 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, if any, on any Security 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 and the Guarantor 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 payment to the Company, may at the expense of the Company, either (a) cause to be mailed, on one occasion only, notice to such Holder 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 mailing, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be paid to the Company or (b) cause to be published once, in a newspaper published in the English language, customarily published on each Business Day and of general circulation in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be paid to the Company.

SECTION 604. CORPORATE EXISTENCE.

Subject to the rights of the Company and the Guarantor under Article Eleven, each of the Company and the Guarantor shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence.

SECTION 605. ANNUAL OFFICER'S CERTIFICATE

SECTION 606. WAIVER OF CERTAIN COVENANTS.

The Company may omit in any particular instance to comply with any term, provision or condition set forth in

(a) any covenant or restriction specified with respect to the Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, as contemplated by Section 301 or by Section 1201(b) if before the time for such compliance the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of all series and Tranches with respect to which compliance with such covenant or restriction is to be omitted, considered as one class, shall, by Act of such Holders, either waive such compliance in such instance or generally waive compliance with such term, provision or condition; and

(b) Section 1101(b) if before the time for such compliance the Holders of a majority in principal amount of Securities Outstanding under this Indenture shall, by Act of such Holders, either waive such compliance in such instance or generally waive compliance with such term, provision or condition;

but, in either case, 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.

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE

SECTION 701. SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE OF SECURITIES.

Any Security or Securities, or any portion of the principal amount thereof, shall be deemed to have been paid for all purposes of this Indenture, and the entire indebtedness of the Company and the Guarantor in respect thereof shall be satisfied and discharged, if there shall have been irrevocably deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent (other than the Company or the Guarantor), in trust:

(a) money in an amount which shall be sufficient, or

(b) in the case of a deposit made prior to the Maturity of such Securities or portions thereof, Eligible Obligations, which shall not contain provisions permitting the redemption or other prepayment thereof at the option of the issuer thereof, the principal of and the interest on which when due, without any regard to reinvestment thereof, will provide moneys which, together with the money, if any, deposited with or held by the Trustee or such Paying Agent, shall be sufficient, or

(c) a combination of (a) or (b) which shall be sufficient,

to pay when due the principal of and premium, if any, and interest, if any, due and to become due on such Securities or portions thereof; provided, however, that in the case of the provision for payment or redemption of less than all the Securities of any series or Tranche, such Securities or portions thereof shall have been selected by the Trustee as provided herein and, in the case of a redemption, the notice requisite to the validity of such redemption shall have been given or irrevocable authority shall have been given by the Company to the Trustee to give such notice, under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee; and provided, further, that the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee and such Paying Agent:

(x) if such deposit shall have been made prior to the Maturity of such Securities, a Company Order stating that the money and Eligible Obligations deposited in accordance with this
Section shall be held in trust, as provided in Section 603;

(y) if Eligible Obligations shall have been deposited, an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such obligations constitute Eligible Obligations and do not contain provisions permitting the redemption or other prepayment thereof at the option of the issuer thereof, and an opinion of an independent public accountant of nationally recognized standing, selected by the Company, to the effect that the other requirements set forth in clause (b) and (c) above have been satisfied; and

(z) if such deposit shall have been made prior to the Maturity of such Securities, an Officer's Certificate stating the Company's intention that, upon delivery of such Officer's Certificate, its indebtedness in respect of such Securities or portions thereof will have been satisfied and discharged as contemplated in this Section.

Upon the deposit of money or Eligible Obligations, or both, in accordance with this Section, together with the documents required by clauses (x), (y) and (z) above, the Trustee shall, upon Company Request, acknowledge in writing that such Securities or portions thereof are deemed to have been paid for all purposes of this Indenture and that the entire indebtedness of the Company in respect thereof has been satisfied and discharged as contemplated in this Section. In the event that all of the conditions set forth in the preceding paragraph shall have been satisfied in respect of any Securities or portions thereof except that, for any reason, the Officer's Certificate specified in clause (z) (if otherwise required) shall not have been delivered, such Securities or portions thereof shall nevertheless be deemed to have been paid for all purposes of this Indenture, and the Holders of such Securities or portions thereof shall nevertheless be no longer entitled to the benefits provided by this Indenture or of any of the covenants of the Company under Article Six (except the covenants contained in Sections 602 and 603) or any other covenants made in respect of such Securities or portions thereof as contemplated by Section 301 or Section 1201(b), but the indebtedness of the Company in respect of such Securities or portions thereof shall not be deemed to have been satisfied and discharged prior to Maturity for any other purpose; and, upon Company Request, the Trustee shall acknowledge in writing that such Securities or portions thereof are deemed to have been paid for all purposes of this Indenture.

If payment at Stated Maturity of less than all of the Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, is to be provided for in the manner and with the effect provided in this Section, the Trustee shall select such Securities, or portions of principal amount thereof, in the manner specified by Section 403 for selection for redemption of less than all the Securities of a series or Tranche.

In the event that Securities which shall be deemed to have been paid for purposes of this Indenture, and, if such is the case, in respect of which the Company's indebtedness shall have been satisfied and discharged, all as provided in this Section, do not mature and are not to be redeemed within the sixty (60) day period commencing with the date of the deposit of moneys or Eligible Obligations, as aforesaid, the Company shall, as promptly as practicable, give a notice, in the same manner as a notice of redemption with respect to such Securities, to the Holders of such Securities to the effect that such deposit has been made and the effect thereof.

Notwithstanding that any Securities shall be deemed to have been paid for purposes of this Indenture, as aforesaid, the obligations of the Company, the Guarantor and the Trustee in respect of such Securities under Sections 304, 305, 306, 404, 602, 603, 907 and 914 and this Article shall survive.

The Company shall pay, and shall indemnify the Trustee or any Paying Agent with which Eligible Obligations shall have been deposited as provided in this Section against, any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against such Eligible Obligations or the principal or interest received in respect of such Eligible Obligations, including, but not limited to, any such tax payable by any entity deemed, for tax purposes, to have been created as a result of such deposit.

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (a) if, at any time after a Security would be deemed to have been paid for purposes of this Indenture, and, if such is the case, the Company's indebtedness in respect thereof would be deemed to have been satisfied and discharged, pursuant to this Section (without regard to the provisions of this paragraph), the Trustee or any Paying Agent, as the case may be, (i) shall be required to return the money or Eligible Obligations, or combination thereof, deposited with it as aforesaid to the Company or its representative under any applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, or (ii) are unable to apply any money in accordance with this Article with respect to any Securities by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, such Security shall thereupon be deemed retroactively not to have been paid and any satisfaction and discharge of the Company's indebtedness in respect thereof shall retroactively be deemed not to have been effected, and such Security shall be deemed to remain Outstanding and (b) any satisfaction and discharge of the Company's indebtedness in respect of any Security shall be subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 603.

SECTION 702. SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE.

This Indenture shall upon Company Request cease to be of further effect (except as hereinafter expressly provided), and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall execute such instruments as the Company shall reasonably request to evidence and acknowledge the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, when:

(a) no Securities remain Outstanding hereunder; and

(b) the Company or the Guarantor has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable hereunder by the Company or the Guarantor;

provided, however, that if, in accordance with the last paragraph of
Section 701, any Security, previously deemed to have been paid for purposes of this Indenture, shall be deemed retroactively not to have been so paid, this Indenture shall thereupon be deemed retroactively not to have been satisfied and discharged, as aforesaid, and to remain in full force and effect, and the Company shall execute and deliver such instruments as the Trustee shall reasonably request to evidence and acknowledge the same.

Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture as aforesaid, the obligations of the Company, the Guarantor and the Trustee under Sections 304, 305, 306, 404, 602, 603, 907 and 914 and this Article shall survive.

Upon satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture as provided in this Section, the Trustee shall turn over to the Company any and all money, securities and other property then held by the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of the Securities (other than money and Eligible Obligations held by the Trustee pursuant to Section 703) and shall execute and deliver to the Company and the Guarantor such instruments as, in the judgment of the Company and the Guarantor, shall be necessary, desirable or appropriate to effect or evidence the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

SECTION 703. APPLICATION OF TRUST MONEY.

Neither the Eligible Obligations nor the money deposited pursuant to Section 701, nor the principal or interest payments on any such Eligible Obligations, shall be withdrawn or used for any purpose other than, and shall be held in trust for, the payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on the Securities or portions of principal amount thereof in respect of which such deposit was made, all subject, however, to the provisions of
Section 603; provided, however, that any cash received from such principal or interest payments on such Eligible Obligations, if not then needed for such purpose, shall, to the extent practicable and upon Company Request and delivery to the Trustee of the documents referred to in clause (y) in the first paragraph of Section 701, be invested in Eligible Obligations of the type described in clause (b) in the first paragraph of Section 701 maturing at such times and in such amounts as shall be sufficient, together with any other moneys and the proceeds of any other Eligible Obligations then held by the Trustee, to pay when due the principal of and premium, if any, and interest, if any, due and to become due on such Securities or portions thereof on and prior to the Maturity thereof, and interest earned from such reinvestment shall be paid over to the Company as received, free and clear of any trust, lien or pledge under this Indenture (except the lien provided by Section 907); and provided, further, that any moneys held in accordance with this Section on the Maturity of all such Securities in excess of the amount required to pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest, if any, then due on such Securities shall be paid over to the Company free and clear of any trust, lien or pledge under this Indenture (except the lien provided by Section 907); and provided, further, that if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, moneys to be paid over to the Company pursuant to this Section shall be held until such Event of Default shall have been waived or cured.

(g) any other Event of Default specified with respect to Securities of such series.

SECTION 802. ACCELERATION OF MATURITY; RESCISSION AND ANNULMENT.

If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to Securities of any series at the time Outstanding, then in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series may declare the principal amount (or, if any of the Securities of such series are Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount of such Securities as may be specified in the terms thereof as contemplated by Section 301) of all of the Securities of such series to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), and upon receipt by the Company of notice of such declaration such principal amount (or specified amount) shall become immediately due and payable; provided, however, that if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to more than one series of Securities, the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of all such series, considered as one class, may make such declaration of acceleration, and not the Holders of the Securities of any one of such series.

At any time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to Securities of any series shall have been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due shall have been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in this Article provided, such declaration and its consequences shall, without further act, be deemed to have been rescinded and annulled, if

(a) the Company or the Guarantor shall have paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay

(1) all overdue interest, if any, on all Securities of such series then Outstanding;

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

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

(4) all amounts due to the Trustee under Section 907;

and

(b) all Events of Default with respect to Securities of such series, other than the non payment of the principal of Securities of such series which shall have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, shall have been cured or waived as provided in Section 813.

No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

SECTION 803. COLLECTION OF INDEBTEDNESS AND SUITS FOR ENFORCEMENT BY TRUSTEE.

If an Event of Default described in clause (a) or (b) of
Section 801 shall have occurred, the Company or the Guarantor shall, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders of the Securities of the series with respect to which such Event of Default shall have occurred, the whole amount then due and payable on such Securities for principal and premium, if any, and interest, if any, and, to the extent permitted by law, interest on premium, if any, and on any overdue principal and interest, at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities, and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover any amounts due to the Trustee under Section 907.

If the Company shall fail 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 or final decree and may enforce the same against the Company and the Guarantor 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 and the Guarantor or any other obligor upon such Securities, wherever situated.

If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series shall have occurred and be 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 804. TRUSTEE MAY FILE PROOFS OF CLAIM.

In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to the Company or the Guarantor or any other obligor upon the Securities or the property of the Company or the Guarantor 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 or the Guarantor for the payment of overdue principal or interest) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise,

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, owing and unpaid in respect of the Securities and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for amounts due to the Trustee under Section 907) and of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceeding, and

(b) 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 amounts due it under Section 907.

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

SECTION 805. TRUSTEE MAY ENFORCE CLAIMS WITHOUT POSSESSION OF SECURITIES.

All rights of action and claims under this Indenture, the Securities or the Guarantees endorsed thereon 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 counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.

SECTION 806. APPLICATION OF MONEY COLLECTED.

Any money collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article shall be applied in the following order, to the extent permitted by law, 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, if any, upon presentation of the Securities in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money shall have been collected 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 907;

SECOND: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid upon the Securities for principal of and premium, if any, and interest, if any, 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, premium, if any, and interest, if any, respectively;

THIRD: To the payment of the remainder, if any, to the Company or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.

SECTION 807. LIMITATION ON SUITS.

No Holder 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:

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

(b) the Holders of 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of all series in respect of which an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, considered as one class, 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;

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

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

(e) no direction inconsistent with such written request shall have been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of all series in respect of which an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, considered as one class;

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 808. 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, if any, on such Security on the Stated Maturity or Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on the Redemption Date) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.

SECTION 809. 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 shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or shall have 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 Guarantor, the Trustee and such Holder shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and such Holder shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.

SECTION 810. RIGHTS AND REMEDIES CUMULATIVE.

Except as otherwise provided 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 811. DELAY OR OMISSION NOT WAIVER.

No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder 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 812. CONTROL BY HOLDERS OF SECURITIES.

If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing in respect of a series of Securities, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such 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, however, that if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to more than one series of Securities, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of all such series, considered as one class, shall have the right to make such direction, and not the Holders of the Securities of any one of such series; and provided, further, that

(a) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture, and could not involve the Trustee in personal liability in circumstances where indemnity would not, in the Trustee's sole discretion, be adequate, and

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

SECTION 813. 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

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

(b) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under
Section 1202 cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security of such series affected.

Upon any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist, and any and all Events 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 814. UNDERTAKING FOR COSTS.

The Company, the Guarantor and the Trustee agree, and each Holder 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 in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant, in each case in the manner, to the extent, and subject to the exceptions provided in the Trust Indenture Act; provided, that the provisions of this Section shall not be deemed to authorize any court to require such an undertaking or to make such an assessment in any suit instituted by the Company or the Guarantor.

SECTION 815. WAIVER OF USURY, STAY OR EXTENSION LAWS.

Each of the Company and the Guarantor covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any usury, stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and each of the Company and the Guarantor (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 NINE

THE TRUSTEE

SECTION 901. CERTAIN DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES.

(a) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series,

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

(b) In case an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee shall exercise, with respect to Securities of such series, such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs.

(c) No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own wilful misconduct, except that

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

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

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

SECTION 902. NOTICE OF DEFAULTS.

SECTION 904. NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR RECITALS OR ISSUANCE OF SECURITIES.

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

SECTION 905. MAY HOLD SECURITIES.

Each of 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 908 and 913, may otherwise deal with the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not the Trustee, Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent, Security Registrar or such other agent.

SECTION 906. 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.

As security for the performance of the obligations of the Company and the Guarantor under this Section, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Securities upon all property and funds held or collected by the Trustee as such, other than property and funds held in trust under Section 703 (except moneys payable to the Company as provided in Section 703).

SECTION 908. DISQUALIFICATION; CONFLICTING INTERESTS.

If the Trustee shall have or acquire any conflicting interest within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act, it shall either eliminate such conflicting interest or resign to the extent, in the manner and with the effect, and subject to the conditions, provided in the Trust Indenture Act and this Indenture. For purposes of Section 310(b)(1) of the Trust Indenture Act and to the extent permitted thereby, the Trustee, in its capacity as trustee in respect of the Securities of any series, shall not be deemed to have a conflicting interest arising from its capacity as trustee in respect of the Securities of any other series.

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

(a) a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by Federal, State or District of Columbia authority, or

and, in either case, qualified and eligible under this Article and the Trust Indenture Act. If such corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of such supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this
Section and the Trust Indenture Act, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article.

SECTION 910. 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 911.

(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 and the Guarantor. If the instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee required by Section 911 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, the Company and the Guarantor.

(2) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 909 or Section 310(a) of the Trust Indenture Act and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company, the Guarantor or by any such Holder, or

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

then, in any such case, (x) the Company and the Guarantor by Board Resolutions may remove the Trustee with respect to all Securities or
(y) subject to Section 814, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder 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 (other than as contemplated by clause (y) in subsection (d) or this Section), with respect to the Securities of one or more series, the Company and the Guarantor, by Board Resolutions, 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 (subject to
Section 915) there shall be only one Trustee with respect to the Securities of any particular series) and shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 911. 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 911, become the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and to that extent supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Company and the Guarantor. If no successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall have been so appointed by the Company and the Guarantor or the Holders and accepted appointment in the manner required by Section 911, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of such series for at least six months may, on behalf of itself 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) So long as no event which is, or after notice or lapse of time, or both, would become, an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and except with respect to a Trustee appointed by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities pursuant to subsection (e) of this Section, if the Company and the Guarantor shall have delivered to the Trustee
(i) Board Resolutions of the Company and the Guarantor appointing a successor Trustee, effective as of a date specified therein, and (ii) an instrument of acceptance of such appointment, effective as of such date, by such successor Trustee in accordance with Section 911, the Trustee shall be deemed to have resigned as contemplated in subsection
(b) of this Section, the successor Trustee shall be deemed to have been appointed by the Company and the Guarantor pursuant to subsection
(e) of this Section and such appointment shall be deemed to have been accepted as contemplated in Section 911, all as of such date, and all other provisions of this Section and Section 911 shall be applicable to such resignation, appointment and acceptance except to the extent inconsistent with this subsection (f).

(g) 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 to all Holders of Securities of such series in the manner provided in Section 106. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and the address of its Corporate Trust Office.

SECTION 911. ACCEPTANCE OF APPOINTMENT BY SUCCESSOR.

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

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

SECTION 912. 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 913. PREFERENTIAL COLLECTION OF CLAIMS AGAINST COMPANY.

If the Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the Company, the Guarantor or any other obligor upon the Securities (other than by reason of a relationship described in Section 311(b) of the Trust Indenture Act), the Trustee shall be subject to any and all applicable provisions of the Trust Indenture Act regarding the collection of claims against the Company, the Guarantor or such other obligor. For purposes of Section 311(b) of the Trust Indenture Act (a) the term "cash transaction" shall have the meaning provided in Rule 11b-4 under the Trust Indenture Act, and (b) the term "self-liquidating paper" shall have the meaning provided in Rule 11b-6 under the Trust Indenture Act.

SECTION 914. APPOINTMENT OF AUTHENTICATING AGENT.

The Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents with respect to the Securities of one or more series, or any Tranche thereof, which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Securities of such series or Tranche issued upon original issuance, exchange, registration of transfer or partial redemption thereof or pursuant to Section 306, and Securities so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Securities by the Trustee or the Trustee's certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Company and the Guarantor and shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America, any State or territory thereof or the District of Columbia or the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, 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 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, the Company and the Guarantor. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent, the Company and the Guarantor. 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 the Guarantor. 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.

Unless appointed at the request of the Company pursuant to the last paragraph of this Section 914, 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, in accordance with and subject to the provisions of Section 907.

The provisions of Sections 308, 904 and 905 shall be applicable to each Authenticating Agent.

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

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

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

SECTION 915. CO-TRUSTEE AND SEPARATE TRUSTEES.

At any time or times, for the purpose of meeting the legal requirements of any applicable jurisdiction, the Company, the Guarantor and the Trustee shall have power to appoint, and, upon the written request of the Trustee or of the Holders of at least 33% in principal amount of the Securities then Outstanding, the Company and the Guarantor shall for such purpose join with the Trustee in the execution and delivery of all instruments and agreements necessary or proper to appoint, one or more Persons approved by the Trustee either to act as co-trustee, jointly with the Trustee, or to act as separate trustee, in either case with such powers as may be provided in the instrument of appointment, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in the capacity aforesaid, any property, title, right or power deemed necessary or desirable, subject to the other provisions of this Section. If the Company or the Guarantor does not join in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request so to do, or if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee alone shall have power to make such appointment.

Should any written instrument or instruments from the Company or the Guarantor be required by any co-trustee or separate trustee to more fully confirm to such co-trustee or separate trustee such property, title, right or power, any and all such instruments shall, on request, be executed, acknowledged and delivered by the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be.

Every co-trustee or separate trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, but to such extent only, be appointed subject to the following conditions:

(a) the Securities shall be authenticated and delivered, and all rights, powers, duties and obligations hereunder in respect of the custody of securities, cash and other personal property held by, or required to be deposited or pledged with, the Trustee hereunder, shall be exercised solely, by the Trustee;

(b) the rights, powers, duties and obligations hereby conferred or imposed upon the Trustee in respect of any property covered by such appointment shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed either by the Trustee or by the Trustee and such co-trustee or separate trustee jointly, as shall be provided in the instrument appointing such co-trustee or separate trustee, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act is to be performed, the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations shall be exercised and performed by such co-trustee or separate trustee.

(c) the Trustee at any time, by an instrument in writing executed by it, with the concurrence of the Company and the Guarantor, may accept the resignation of or remove any co-trustee or separate trustee appointed under this Section, and, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee shall have power to accept the resignation of, or remove, any such co-trustee or separate trustee without the concurrence of the Company or the Guarantor. Upon the written request of the Trustee, the Company and the Guarantor shall join with the Trustee in the execution and delivery of all instruments and agreements necessary or proper to effectuate such resignation or removal. A successor to any co-trustee or separate trustee so resigned or removed may be appointed in the manner provided in this Section;

(d) no co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of the Trustee, or any other such trustee hereunder, and the Trustee shall not be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any such co-trustee or separate trustee; and

(e) any Act of Holders delivered to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been delivered to each such co-trustee and separate trustee.

In the absence of a quorum at any such adjourned meeting, such adjourned meeting may be further adjourned for such period as may be determined by the chairman of the meeting prior to the adjournment of such adjourned meeting. Except as provided by Section 1305(e), notice of the reconvening of any meeting adjourned for more than 30 days shall be given as provided in Section 1302(a) not less than ten days prior to the date on which the meeting is scheduled to be reconvened. Notice of the reconvening of an adjourned meeting shall state expressly the percentage, as provided above, of the principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series and Tranches which shall constitute a quorum.

Except as limited by Section 1202, any resolution presented to a meeting or adjourned meeting duly reconvened at which a quorum is present as aforesaid may be adopted only by the affirmative vote of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of the series and Tranches with respect to which such meeting shall have been called, considered as one class; provided, however, that, except as so limited, any resolution with respect to any action which this Indenture expressly provides may be taken by the Holders of a specified percentage, which is less than a majority, in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series and Tranches, considered as one class, may be adopted at a meeting or an adjourned meeting duly reconvened and at which a quorum is present as aforesaid by the affirmative vote of the Holders of such specified percentage in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series and Tranches, considered as one class.

Any resolution passed or decision taken at any meeting of Holders of Securities duly held in accordance with this Section shall be binding on all the Holders of Securities of the series and Tranches with respect to which such meeting shall have been held, whether or not present or represented at the meeting.

SECTION 1305. ATTENDANCE AT MEETINGS; DETERMINATION OF VOTING RIGHTS; CONDUCT AND ADJOURNMENT OF MEETINGS.

(a) Attendance at meetings of Holders of Securities may be in person or by proxy; and, to the extent permitted by law, any such proxy shall remain in effect and be binding upon any future Holder of the Securities with respect to which it was given unless and until specifically revoked by the Holder or future Holder of such Securities before being voted.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, the Trustee may make such reasonable regulations as it may deem advisable for any meeting of Holders of Securities in regard to proof of the holding of such Securities and of the appointment of proxies and in regard to the appointment and duties of inspectors of votes, the submission and examination of proxies, certificates and other evidence of the right to vote, and such other matters concerning the conduct of the meeting as it shall deem appropriate. Except as otherwise permitted or required by any such regulations, the holding of Securities shall be proved in the manner specified in Section 104 and the appointment of any proxy shall be proved in the manner specified in Section 104. Such regulations may provide that written instruments appointing proxies, regular on their face, may be presumed valid and genuine without the proof specified in Section 104 or other proof.

(c) The Trustee shall, by an instrument in writing, appoint a temporary chairman of the meeting, unless the meeting shall have been called by the Company or the Guarantor or by Holders as provided in Section 1302(b), in which case the Company or the Guarantor or the Holders of Securities of the series and Tranches calling the meeting, as the case may be, shall in like manner appoint a temporary chairman. A permanent chairman and a permanent secretary of the meeting shall be elected by vote of the Persons entitled to vote a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of all series and Tranches represented at the meeting, considered as one class.

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

(e) Any meeting duly called pursuant to Section 1302 at which a quorum is present may be adjourned from time to time by Persons entitled to vote a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of all series and Tranches represented at the meeting, considered as one class; and the meeting may be held as so adjourned without further notice.

SECTION 1306. COUNTING VOTES AND RECORDING ACTION OF MEETINGS.

The vote upon any resolution submitted to any meeting of Holders shall be by written ballots on which shall be subscribed the signatures of the Holders or of their representatives by proxy and the principal amounts and serial numbers of the Outstanding Securities, of the series and Tranches with respect to which the meeting shall have been called, held or represented by them. The permanent chairman of the meeting shall appoint two inspectors of votes who shall count all votes cast at the meeting for or against any resolution and who shall make and file with the secretary of the meeting their verified written reports of all votes cast at the meeting. A record, in duplicate, of the proceedings of each meeting of Holders shall be prepared by the secretary of the meeting and there shall be attached to said record the original reports of the inspectors of votes on any vote by ballot taken thereat and affidavits by one or more persons having knowledge of the facts setting forth a copy of the notice of the meeting and showing that said notice was given as provided in Section 1302 and, if applicable, Section 1304. Each copy shall be signed and verified by the affidavits of the permanent chairman and secretary of the meeting and one such copy shall be delivered to the Company, and another to the Trustee to be preserved by the Trustee, the latter to have attached thereto the ballots voted at the meeting. Any record so signed and verified shall be conclusive evidence of the matters therein stated.

SECTION 1307. ACTION WITHOUT MEETING.

In lieu of a vote of Holders at a meeting as hereinbefore contemplated in this Article, any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action may be made, given or taken by Holders by written instruments as provided in Section 104.

ARTICLE FOURTEEN

GUARANTEE

SECTION 1401. GUARANTEE.

The Guarantor hereby unconditionally guarantees to each Holder of a Security authenticated and delivered by the Trustee, and to the Trustee on behalf of such Holder, the due and punctual payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on the Securities of such series when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at the Stated Maturity, by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption, or otherwise, in accordance with the terms of such Security and of this Indenture. In case of the failure of the Company punctually to make any such payment, the Guarantor hereby agrees to cause such payment to be made punctually when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at the Stated Maturity or by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise, and as if such payment were made by the Company.

The Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of, and shall be unaffected by, any invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability of such Security or this Indenture, any failure to enforce the provisions of such Security or this Indenture, or any waiver, modification or indulgence granted to the Company with respect thereto, by the Holder of such Security or the Trustee or any other circumstance which may otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, no such waiver, modification or indulgence shall, without the consent of the Guarantor, increase the principal amount of such Security, or increase the interest rate thereon, or change any redemption provisions thereof (including any change to increase any premium payable upon redemption thereof), or change the Stated Maturity thereof, or increase the principal amount of any Discount Security that would be due and payable upon a declaration of acceleration or the maturity thereof pursuant to Article Eight of this Indenture.

The Guarantor hereby waives the benefits of diligence, presentment, demand for payment, any requirement that the Trustee or any of the Holders exhaust any right or take any action against the Company or any other Person, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest or notice with respect to any Security or the indebtedness evidenced thereby and all demands whatsoever, and covenants that this Guarantee will not be discharged in respect of any Security except by complete performance of the obligations contained in such Security and in this Guarantee. This Guarantee shall constitute a guaranty of payment and not of collection. The Guarantor hereby agrees that, in the event of a default in payment of principal, or premium, if any, or interest, if any, on any Security, whether at its Stated Maturity, by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption, or otherwise, legal proceedings may be instituted by the Trustee on behalf of, or by, the Holder of such Security, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Indenture, directly against the Guarantor to enforce this Guarantee without first proceeding against the Company.

The obligations of the Guarantor hereunder with respect to any Security shall be continuing and irrevocable until the date upon which the entire principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such Security has been, or has been deemed pursuant to the provisions of Article Seven of this Indenture to have been, paid in full or otherwise discharged.

The Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of the Holders of the Securities upon which its Guarantee is endorsed against the Company in respect of any amounts paid by the Guarantor on account of such Securities pursuant to the provisions of its Guarantee or this Indenture; provided, however, that the Guarantor shall not be entitled to enforce or to receive any payments arising out of, or based upon, such right of subrogation until the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on all Securities issued hereunder shall have been paid in full.

This Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and continue notwithstanding any petition filed by or against the Company for liquidation or reorganization, the Company becoming insolvent or making an assignment for the benefit of creditors or a receiver or trustee being appointed for all or any significant part of the Company's assets, and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, continue to be effective or reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment of any Security, is, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any Holder of such Security, whether as a "voidable preference," "fraudulent transfer," or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned on a Security, such Security shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be reinstated and deemed paid only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

SECTION 1402. EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF GUARANTEE.

The Guarantee to be endorsed on the Securities of each series shall include the terms of the Guarantee set forth in Section 1401 and any other terms that may be set forth as established pursuant to Section 301. The Guarantor hereby agrees to execute its Guarantee, in a form established pursuant to Section 201, to be endorsed on each Security authenticated and delivered by the Trustee.

The Guarantee shall be executed on behalf of the Guarantor by an Authorized Officer of the Guarantor. The signature of any such officer on the Guarantee may be manual or facsimile.

A Guarantee bearing the manual or facsimile signature of an individual who was at the time of execution an Authorized Officer of the Guarantor shall bind the Guarantor, notwithstanding that any such individual has ceased to be an Authorized Officer prior to the authentication and delivery of the Security on which such Guarantee is endorsed or was not an Authorized Officer at the date of such Guarantee.

The delivery of any Security by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of the Guarantee endorsed thereon on behalf of the Guarantor. The Guarantor hereby agrees that its Guarantee set forth in Section 1401 shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse a Guarantee on any Security. The Guarantor by its execution of this Indenture hereby authorizes the Company, in the name and on behalf of the Guarantor, to confirm the applicable Guarantee to the Holder of each Security authenticated and delivered hereunder by its execution and delivery of each such Security, with such Guarantee endorsed thereon, authenticated and delivered by the Trustee.

ARTICLE FIFTEEN

IMMUNITY OF INCORPORATORS, STOCKHOLDERS, OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS

SECTION 1501. LIABILITY SOLELY CORPORATE.

No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest, if any, on any Securities, any Guarantees or any part thereof, or for any claim based thereon or otherwise in respect thereof, or of the indebtedness represented thereby, or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement under this Indenture, against any incorporator, stockholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or future of the Company or the Guarantor or of any predecessor or successor of either of them (either directly or through the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, or a predecessor or successor of either of them), whether by virtue of any constitutional provision, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise; it being expressly agreed and understood that this Indenture and all the Securities and Guarantees are solely corporate obligations, and that no personal liability whatsoever shall attach to, or be incurred by, any incorporator, stockholder, officer or director, past, present or future, of the Company or of the Guarantor or of any predecessor or successor corporation, either directly or indirectly through the Company or the Guarantor or any predecessor or successor of either of them, because of the indebtedness hereby authorized or under or by reason of any of the obligations, covenants or agreements contained in this Indenture or in any of the Securities or Guarantees or to be implied herefrom or therefrom, and that any such personal liability is hereby expressly waived and released as a condition of, and as part of the consideration for, the execution of this Indenture and the issuance of the Securities and the Guarantees.


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


IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Indenture to be duly executed, and their respective corporate seals to be hereunto affixed and attested, all as of the day and year first above written.

ESTABLISHING A SERIES OF SECURITIES DESIGNATED
MEDIUM TERM NOTES, SERIES A
LIMITED IN AGGREGATE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT TO $400,000,000


SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE NO. 1, dated as of November 1, 1997, among PP&L CAPITAL FUNDING, INC., a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware (herein called the "Company"), PP&L RESOURCES, INC., a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (herein called the "Guarantor"), and THE CHASE MANHATTAN BANK, a New York banking corporation, as Trustee (herein called the "Trustee), under the Indenture dated as of November 1, 1997 (hereinafter called the "Original Indenture"), this Supplemental Indenture No. 1 being supplemental thereto. The Original Indenture and any and all indentures and instruments supplemental thereto are hereinafter sometimes collectively called the "Indenture."

RECITALS OF THE COMPANY AND THE GUARANTOR

The Original Indenture was authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and the Guarantor to provide for the issuance by the Company from time to time of its Securities (such term and all other capitalized terms used herein without definition having the meanings assigned to them in the Original Indenture), to be issued in one or more series as contemplated therein, and for the Guarantee by the Guarantor of the payment of the principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on such Securities.

As contemplated by Sections 301 and 1201(f) of the Original Indenture, the Company wishes to establish a series of Securities to be designated "Medium-Term Notes, Series A" to be limited in aggregate principal amount (except as contemplated in
Section 301(b) of the Original Indenture) to $400,000,000, such series of Securities to be hereinafter sometimes called "Series No. 1."

As contemplated by Section 201 and 1402 of the Original Indenture, the Guarantor wishes to establish the form and terms of the Guarantees to be endorsed on the Securities of Series No. 1.

The Company has duly authorized the execution and delivery of this Supplemental Indenture No. 1 to establish the Securities of Series No. 1 and has duly authorized the issuance of such Securities; the Guarantor has duly authorized the execution and delivery of this Supplemental Indenture No. 1 and has duly authorized its Guarantees of the Securities of Series No. 1; and all acts necessary to make this Supplemental Indenture No. 1 a valid agreement of the Company and the Guarantor, to make the Securities of Series No. 1 valid obligations of the Company, and to make the Guarantees valid obligations of the Guarantor, have been performed.


NOW, THEREFORE, THIS SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE NO. 1
WITNESSETH:

For and in consideration of the premises and of the purchase of the Securities by the Holders thereof, it is mutually covenanted and agreed, for the equal and proportionate benefit of all Holders of the Securities of Series No. 1, as follows:

ARTICLE ONE

FIRST SERIES OF SECURITIES

SECTION 1. There is hereby created a series of Securities designated "Medium-Term Notes, Series A" and limited in aggregate principal amount (except as contemplated in Section 301(b) of the Original Indenture) to $400,000,000. The forms and terms of the Securities of Series No. 1 shall be established in an Officer's Certificate of the Company, as contemplated by
Section 301 of the Original Indenture.

SECTION 2. The Company hereby agrees that, if the Company shall make any deposit of money and/or Eligible Obligations with respect to any Securities of Series No. 1, or any portion of the principal amount thereof, as contemplated by
Section 701 of the Indenture, the Company shall not deliver an Officer's Certificate described in clause (z) in the first paragraph of said Section 701 unless the Company shall also deliver to the Trustee, together with such Officer's Certificate, either:

(A) an instrument wherein the Company, notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of its indebtedness in respect of such Securities, shall assume the obligation (which shall be absolute and unconditional) to irrevocably deposit with the Trustee or Paying Agent such additional sums of money, if any, or additional Eligible Obligations (meeting the requirements of Section 701), if any, or any combination thereof, at such time or times, as shall be necessary, together with the money and/or Eligible Obligations theretofore so deposited, to pay when due the principal of and premium, if any, and interest due and to become due on such Securities or portions thereof, all in accordance with and subject to the provisions of said
Section 701; provided, however, that such instrument may state that the obligation of the Company to make additional deposits as aforesaid shall be subject to the delivery to the Company by the Trustee of a notice asserting the deficiency accompanied by an opinion of an independent public accountant of nationally recognized standing, selected by the Trustee, showing the calculation thereof (which opinion shall be obtained at the expense of the Company); or

(B) an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Holders of such Securities, or portions of the principal amount thereof, will not recognize income, gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes as a result of the

2

satisfaction and discharge of the Company's indebtedness in respect thereof and will be subject to United States federal income tax on the same amounts, at the same times and in the same manner as if such satisfaction and discharge had not been effected.

ARTICLE TWO

FORM OF GUARANTEE

Guarantees to be endorsed on the Securities of Series

No. 1 shall be in substantially the form set forth below:

[FORM OF GUARANTEE]

PP&L Resources, Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (the "Guarantor", which term includes any successor under the Indenture (the "Indenture") referred to in the Security upon which this Guarantee is endorsed), for value received, hereby unconditionally guarantees to the Holder of the Security upon which this Guarantee is endorsed, the due and punctual payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on such Security when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at the Stated Maturity, by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption, or otherwise, in accordance with the terms of such Security and of the Indenture. In case of the failure of PP&L Capital Funding, Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware (the "Company", which term includes any successor under the Indenture), punctually to make any such payment, the Guarantor hereby agrees to cause such payment to be made punctually when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at the Stated Maturity or by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise, and as if such payment were made by the Company.

The Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of, and shall be unaffected by, any invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability of such Security or the Indenture, any failure to enforce the provisions of such Security or the Indenture, or any waiver, modification or indulgence granted to the Company with respect thereto, by the Holder of such Security or the Trustee or any other circumstance which may otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, no such waiver, modification or indulgence shall, without the consent of the Guarantor, increase the principal amount of such Security, or increase the interest rate thereon, or change any redemption provisions thereof (including any

3

change to increase any premium payable upon redemption thereof) or change the Stated Maturity thereof.

The Guarantor hereby waives the benefits of diligence, presentment, demand for payment, any requirement that the Trustee or the Holder of such Security exhaust any right or take any action against the Company or any other Person, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest or notice with respect to such Security or the indebtedness evidenced thereby and all demands whatsoever, and covenants that this Guarantee will not be discharged in respect of such Security except by complete performance of the obligations contained in such Security and in this Guarantee. This Guarantee shall constitute a guaranty of payment and not of collection. The Guarantor hereby agrees that, in the event of a default in payment of principal, or premium, if any, or interest, if any, on such Security, whether at its Stated Maturity, by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption, or otherwise, legal proceedings may be instituted by the Trustee on behalf of, or by, the Holder of such Security, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture, directly against the Guarantor to enforce this Guarantee without first proceeding against the Company.

The obligations of the Guarantor hereunder with respect to such Security shall be continuing and irrevocable until the date upon which the entire principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such Security has been, or has been deemed pursuant to the provisions of Article Seven of the Indenture to have been, paid in full or otherwise discharged.

The Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of the Holder of such Security upon which this Guarantee is endorsed against the Company in respect of any amounts paid by the Guarantor on account of such Security pursuant to the provisions of this Guarantee or the Indenture; provided, however, that the Guarantor shall not be entitled to enforce or to receive any payments arising out of, or based upon, such right of subrogation until the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on all Securities issued under the Indenture shall have been paid in full.

This Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and continue notwithstanding any petition filed by or against the Company for liquidation or reorganization, the Company becoming insolvent or making an assignment for the benefit of creditors or a receiver or trustee being appointed for all or any significant part of the Company's assets, and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, continue to be effective or reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment of the Security upon which this Guarantee

4

is endorsed, is, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Holder of such Security, whether as a "voidable preference," "fraudulent transfer," or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned on such Security, such Security shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be reinstated and deemed paid only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

This Guarantee shall not be valid or obligatory for any purpose until the certificate of authentication of the Security upon which this Guarantee is endorsed shall have been manually executed by or on behalf of the Trustee under the Indenture.

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

This Guarantee shall be deemed to be a contract made under the laws of the State of New York, and for all purposes shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Guarantor has caused this Guarantee to be executed as of the date first written above.

PP&L RESOURCES, INC.

In the event of redemption of this Security in part only, a new Security or Securities of this series, of like tenor, representing the unredeemed portion hereof shall be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof.

If this Security is specified on the face hereof to be repayable at the Option of the Holder, this Security will be so repaid in whole or in part in increments of $1,000, provided that the remaining principal amount of any Security surrendered for partial repayment shall be at least $1,000, on any Option Repayment Date (as stated on the face hereof), at the option of the Holder, at 100% of the principal amount to be repaid, plus accrued interest, if any, to the repayment date.

Any such election shall be irrevocable. The address to which such deliveries are to be made is The Chase Manhattan Bank, Attention:
Corporate Trustee Administration Department, 450 West 33rd Street, New York, New York 10001 (or, at such other places as the Company shall notify the Holders of the Securities). All questions as to the validity, eligibility (including time of receipt) and acceptance of any Security for repayment will be determined by the Company, whose determination will be final and binding.

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

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the Trustee to enter into one or more supplemental indentures for the purpose of adding any provisions to, or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of, the Indenture with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of all series then Outstanding under the Indenture, considered as one class; provided, however, that if there shall be Securities of more than one series Outstanding under the Indenture and if a proposed supplemental indenture shall directly affect the rights of the Holders of Securities of one or more, but less than all, of such series, then the consent only of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of all series so directly affected, considered as one class, shall be required; and provided, further, that if the Securities of any series shall have been issued in more than one Tranche and if the proposed supplemental indenture shall directly affect the rights of the Holders of Securities of one or more, but less than all, of such Tranches, then the consent only of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of all Tranches so directly affected, considered as one class, shall be required; and provided, further, that the Indenture permits the Trustee to enter into one or more supplemental indentures for limited purposes without the consent of any Holders of Securities. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities then Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security.

The Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of the Holder of such Security upon which this Guarantee is endorsed against the Company in respect of any amounts paid by the Guarantor on account of such Security pursuant to the provisions of this Guarantee or the Indenture; provided, however, that the Guarantor shall not be entitled to enforce or to receive any payments arising out of, or based upon, such right of subrogation until the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on all Securities issued under the Indenture shall have been paid in full.

This Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and continue notwithstanding any petition filed by or against the Company for liquidation or reorganization, the Company becoming insolvent or making an assignment for the benefit of creditors or a receiver or trustee being appointed for all or any significant part of the Company's assets, and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, continue to be effective or reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment of the Security upon which this Guarantee is endorsed, is, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Holder of such Security, whether as a "voidable preference," "fraudulent transfer," or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned on such Security, such Security shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be reinstated and deemed paid only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

This Guarantee shall not be valid or obligatory for any purpose until the certificate of authentication of the Security upon which this Guarantee is endorsed shall have been manually executed by or on behalf of the Trustee under the Indenture.

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

This Guarantee shall be deemed to be a contract made under the laws of the State of New York, and for all purposes shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Guarantor has caused this Guarantee to be executed as of the date first written above.

PP&L CAPITAL FUNDING, INC., a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware (herein called the "Company," which term includes any successor corporation under the Indenture referred to below), for value received, hereby promises to pay to , or registered assigns, the principal sum of DOLLARS on the Stated Maturity specified above, and to pay interest thereon from the Original Issue Date specified above or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually, as specified above for the Interest Payment Period, in arrears on the Interest Payment Dates specified above in each year, commencing with the Interest Payment Date next succeeding the Original Issue Date specified above, and at Maturity, until the principal hereof is paid or duly provided for. Except as otherwise provided herein, the rate of interest to be so paid shall be the Initial Interest Rate specified above until the Initial Interest Reset Date specified above and thereafter at a rate determined, in accordance with the provisions for determination of interest rates below, by reference to the Interest Rate Basis or Bases specified above, plus or minus the Spread, if any, specified above and/or multiplied by the Spread Multiplier, if any, specified above. The interest so payable, and paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall, as provided in such Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date specified above (whether or not a Business Day) next preceding such Interest Payment Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) if the Original Issue Date of this Security is after a Regular Record Date and before the corresponding Interest Payment Date, interest so payable for the period from and including the Original Issue Date to but excluding such Interest Payment Date shall be paid on the next succeeding Interest Payment Date to the Holder hereof on the related Regular Record Date, and (b) interest payable at Maturity shall be paid to the Person to whom principal shall be paid. Except as otherwise provided in said Indenture, any such interest not so paid or duly provided for shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and may either be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice of which shall be given to Holders of Securities of this series not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Securities of this series may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in said Indenture.

Payment of the principal of and premium, if any, on this Security and interest hereon at Maturity shall be made upon presentation of this Security at the corporate trust office of The Chase Manhattan Bank in New York, New York or at such other office or agency as may be designated for such purpose by the Company from time to time. Payment of interest, if any, on this Security (other than interest at Maturity) shall be made by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register, except that (a) if such Person shall be a securities depositary, such payment may be made by such other means in lieu of check as shall be agreed upon by the Company, the Trustee or other Paying Agent and such Person and (b) if such Person is a Holder of $10,000,000 or more in aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series such payment may be in immediately available funds by wire transfer to such account as may have been designated in writing by the Person entitled thereto as set forth herein in time for the Paying Agent to make such payments in accordance with its normal procedures. Any such designation for wire transfer purposes shall be made by filing the appropriate information with the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office in The City of New York not less than fifteen calendar days prior to the applicable payment date and, unless revoked by written notice to the Trustee received on or prior to the Regular Record Date immediately preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date, shall remain in effect with respect to any further interest payments (other than interest payments at Maturity) with respect to this Security payable to such Holder. Payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on this Security, as aforesaid, shall be made in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment shall be legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.

This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called the "Securities"), issued and issuable in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of November 1, 1997 (such Indenture as originally executed and delivered and as supplemented or amended from time to time thereafter, together with any constituent instruments establishing the terms of particular Securities, being herein called the "Indenture"), among the Company, PP&L Resources, Inc., as Guarantor (herein called the Guarantor," which term includes any successor under the Indenture) and The Chase Manhattan 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 description of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities of the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities thereunder and of the terms and conditions upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. The acceptance of this Security shall be deemed to constitute the consent and agreement by the Holder hereof to all of the terms and provisions of the Indenture. This Security is one of the series designated above.

The interest rate applicable to this Security will be determined as follows:

If this Security is designated as a "Regular Floating Rate Note," then except as described below, this Security will bear interest at the rate determined by reference to the applicable Interest Rate Basis or Bases specified above
(a) plus or minus the applicable Spread, if any, specified above and/or (b) multiplied by the applicable Spread Multiplier, if any, specified above. Commencing on the Initial Interest Reset Date, the rate at which interest on such Regular Floating Rate Note shall be payable shall be reset as of each Interest Reset Date; provided, however, that the interest rate in effect for the period, if any, from the Original Issue Date specified above to the Initial Interest Reset Date will be the Initial Interest Rate.

If this Security is designated as a "Floating Rate/Fixed Rate Note," then, except as described below, this Security will bear interest at the rate determined by reference to the applicable Interest Rate Basis or Bases (a) plus or minus the applicable Spread, if any, specified above and/or (b) multiplied by the applicable Spread Multiplier, if any, specified above. Commencing on the Initial Interest Reset Date, the rate at which interest on such Floating Rate/Fixed Rate Note shall be payable shall be reset as of each Interest Reset Date; provided, however, that (y) the interest rate in effect for the period, if any, from the Original Issue Date specified above to the Initial Interest Reset Date will be the Initial Interest Rate and (z) the interest rate in effect for the period commencing on the Fixed Rate Commencement Date to Maturity shall be the Fixed Interest Rate, if any, specified above or, if no such Fixed Interest Rate is specified, the interest rate in effect thereon on the day immediately preceding the Fixed Rate Commencement Date.

If this Security is designated as an "Inverse Floating Rate Note," then, except as described below, this Security will bear interest at the Fixed Interest Rate specified above minus the rate determined by reference to the applicable Interest Rate Basis or Bases (a) plus or minus the applicable Spread, if any, specified above and/or (b) multiplied by the applicable Spread Multiplier, if any, specified above; provided, however, that, the interest rate thereon will not be less than zero. Commencing on the Initial Interest Reset Date, the rate at which interest on such Inverse Floating Rate Note shall be payable shall be reset as of each Interest Reset Date; provided, however, that the interest rate in effect for the period, if any, from the Original Issue Date specified above to the Initial Interest Reset Date shall be the Initial Interest Rate.

Commencing with the Initial Interest Reset Date specified above and thereafter upon each succeeding Interest Reset Date specified above, the rate at which interest on this Security is payable shall be reset daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, semi- annually or annually as specified above as the "Interest Reset Period." Unless otherwise specified above, the Interest Reset Dates shall be: if the interest rate on this Security resets daily, each Business Day; if the interest rate on this Security (unless the Interest Rate Basis is the Treasury Rate) resets weekly, Wednesday of each week; if the Interest Rate Basis specified above is the Treasury Rate and resets weekly, Tuesday of each week (except as provided below under "Determination of Treasury Rate"); if the interest rate on this Security resets monthly, the third Wednesday of each month; if the interest rate on this Security resets quarterly, the third Wednesday of March, June, September and December of each year; if the interest rate on this Security resets semi-annually, the third Wednesday of the two months of each year specified above; and if the interest rate on this Security rests annually, the third Wednesday of the month of each year specified above; provided, however, that, if this Security is a Floating Rate/Fixed Rate Note, the rate of interest hereon will not reset after the applicable Fixed Rate Commencement Date. If an Interest Reset Date for this Security would otherwise be a day that is not a Business Day (as hereinafter defined), such Interest Reset Date shall be postponed to the next succeeding Business Day, except that, if the Interest Rate Basis specified above is LIBOR and such Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar month, such Interest Reset Date shall be the immediately preceding Business Day.

The interest rate applicable to each Interest Reset Period commencing on the related Interest Reset Date will be the rate determined by the Calculation Agent (as defined below) as of the applicable Interest Determination Date and calculated on or prior to the Calculation Date (as hereinafter defined), except with respect to LIBOR, which will be calculated on such Interest Determination Date. The "Interest Determination Date" with respect to the CMT Rate, the Commercial Paper Rate, the Federal Funds Rate and the Prime Rate will be the second Business Day immediately preceding the applicable Interest Reset Date; and the "Interest Determination Date" with respect to LIBOR will be the second London Business Day immediately preceding the applicable Interest Reset Date. With respect to the Treasury Rate, the "Interest Determination Date" will be the day in the week in which the applicable Interest Reset Date falls on which day Treasury Bills (as hereinafter defined) are normally auctioned (Treasury Bills are normally sold at an auction held on Monday of each week, unless that day is a legal holiday, in which case the auction is normally held on the following Tuesday, except that such auction may be held on the preceding Friday); provided, however, that if an auction is held on the Friday of the week preceding the applicable Interest Reset Date, the "Interest Determination Date" will be such preceding Friday; provided, further, that if the Interest Determination Date would otherwise fall on an Interest Reset Date, then such Interest Reset Date will be postponed to the next succeeding Business Day. If the interest rate on this Security is determined by reference to two or more Interest Rate Bases, the "Interest Determination Date" will be the most recent Business Day which is at least two Business Days prior to the applicable Interest Reset Date for this Security on which each Interest Rate Basis is determinable. Each Interest Rate Basis will be determined as of such date, and the applicable interest rate will take effect on the applicable Interest Reset Date.

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the interest rate hereon shall not be greater than the Maximum Interest Rate, if any, or less than the Minimum Interest Rate, if any, specified above. In addition, the interest rate hereon shall in no event be higher than the maximum rate permitted by applicable law.

Except as otherwise provided herein, interest will be payable, if the interest rate on this Security resets daily, weekly or monthly, on the third Wednesday of each month or on the third Wednesday of March, June, September and December of each year, as specified above; if the interest rate on this Security resets quarterly, on the third Wednesday of March, June, September and December of each year; if the interest rate on this Security resets semi-annually, on the third Wednesday of the two months of each year specified above; and if the interest rate on this Security resets annually, on the third Wednesday of the month of each year specified above (each such day being an "Interest Payment Date"), and, in each case, on Maturity.

If any Interest Payment Date, other than the Maturity, would otherwise be a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Payment Date will be postponed to the next succeeding Business Day, except that if LIBOR is an applicable Interest Rate Basis and such Business Day falls in the next succeeding calendar month, such Interest Payment Date will be the immediately preceding Business Day. If the Maturity of this Security falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the required payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest may be made on the next succeeding Business Day as if made on the date such payment was due, and no interest will accrue on such payment for the period from and after the Maturity to the date of such payment on the next succeeding Business Day.

Interest payments on this Security shall be in the amount of interest accrued from and including the immediately preceding Interest Payment Date in respect of which interest has been paid or made available for payment (or from and including the Original Issue Date if no interest has been paid or made available for payment) to but excluding the applicable Interest Payment Date or the Maturity, as the case may be.

Accrued interest on this Security shall be calculated by multiplying the principal amount of this Security by an accrued interest factor. Such accrued interest factor shall be computed by adding the interest factor calculated for each day in the applicable period for which accrued interest is being calculated. Unless otherwise specified above, the interest factor for each such day shall be computed by dividing the interest rate applicable to such day by 360 if the Interest Rate Basis is the Commercial Paper Rate, the Federal Funds Rate, LIBOR or the Prime Rate, as specified above, or by the actual number of days in the year if the Interest Rate Basis is the CMT Rate or the Treasury Rate, as indicated above. If the interest rate applicable to this Security is calculated with reference to two or more Interest Rate Bases, the interest factor for this Security will be calculated in the manner specified above.

All percentages resulting from any calculation of the rate of interest hereon shall be rounded to the nearest one hundred- thousandth of a percentage point, with five one-millionths of a percentage point rounded upwards (e.g., 9.876545% (or .09876545) would be rounded to 9.87655% (or .0987655)), and all amounts used in or resulting from such calculation hereon will be rounded to the nearest cent (with one-half cent being rounded upwards).

The Company has appointed the Calculation Agent specified above to calculate the interest rates on this Security. Upon the request of the Holder of this Security, the Calculation Agent will disclose the interest rate then in effect, and, if determined, the interest rate that will become effective as a result of a determination made for the next succeeding Interest Reset Date with respect to this Security. Unless otherwise specified herein, the "Calculation Date," if applicable, pertaining to any Interest Determination Date will be the earlier of (i) the tenth calendar day after such Interest Determination Date or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day or (ii) the Business Day immediately preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date or Maturity, as the case may be.

Subject to applicable provisions of law and except as specified herein, the Calculation Agent shall determine the rate of interest in accordance with the provisions under the applicable heading below. All determinations of interest rates by the Calculation Agent shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all purposes and binding on the Holder hereof.

DETERMINATION OF CMT RATE

If the Interest Rate Basis specified above is the CMT Rate, this Security shall bear interest for each Interest Reset Period at an interest rate calculated with reference to the CMT Rate, determined as set forth below, and the Spread or Spread Multiplier, if any, specified above.

The CMT Rate for each Interest Reset Period shall be determined by the Calculation Agent with respect to any Interest Determination Date (a "CMT Rate Interest Determination Date") and shall be the rate displayed on the Designated CMT Telerate Page (as defined below) under the caption "...Treasury Constant Maturities...Federal Reserve Board Release H.15...Mondays Approximately 3:45 P.M.," under the column for the Designated CMT Maturity Index (as defined below) for (i) if the Designated CMT Telerate Page is 7055, the rate on such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date and (ii) if the Designated CMT Telerate Page is 7052, the weekly or monthly average, as specified above, for the week or the month, as applicable, ended immediately preceding the week or the month, as applicable, in which the related CMT Rate Interest Determination Date falls. If such rate is no longer displayed on the relevant page or is not displayed by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, then the CMT Rate for such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date will be such treasury constant maturity rate for the Designated CMT Maturity Index as published in H.15(519). If such rate is no longer published or is not published by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, then the CMT Rate on such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date will be such treasury constant maturity rate for the Designated CMT Maturity Index (or other United States Treasury rate for the Designated CMT Maturity Index) for the CMT Rate Interest Determination Date with respect to such Interest Reset Date as may then be published by either the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or the United States Department of the Treasury that the Calculation Agent determines to be comparable to the rate formerly displayed on the Designated CMT Telerate Page and published in H.15(519). If such information is not provided by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, then the CMT Rate on the CMT Rate Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the Calculation Agent and will be a yield to maturity, based on the arithmetic mean of the secondary market offered rates as of approximately 3:30 P.M., New York City time, on such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date reported, according to their written records, by three leading primary United States government securities dealers in The City of New York (each, a "Reference Dealer) selected by the Calculation Agent (from five such Reference Dealers selected by the Calculation Agent and eliminating the highest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the highest) and the lowest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the lowest)), for the most recently issued direct noncallable fixed rate obligations of the United States ("Treasury Notes") with an original maturity of approximately the Designated CMT Maturity Index and a remaining term to maturity of not less than such Designated CMT Maturity Index minus one year. If the Calculation Agent is unable to obtain three such Treasury Note quotations, the CMT Rate on such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the Calculation Agent and will be a yield to maturity based on the arithmetic mean of the secondary market offered rates as of approximately 3:30 P.M., New York City time, on such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date of three Reference Dealers in The City of New York (from five such Reference Dealers selected by the Calculation Agent and eliminating the highest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the highest) and the lowest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the lowest)), for Treasury Notes with an original maturity of the number of years that is the next highest to the Designated CMT Maturity Index and a remaining term to maturity closest to the Designated CMT Maturity Index and in an amount of at least $100 million. If three or four (and not five) of such Reference Dealers are quoting as described above, then the CMT Rate will be based on the arithmetic mean of the offered rates obtained and neither the highest nor the lowest of such quotations will be eliminated; provided, however, that if fewer than three Reference Dealers so selected by the Calculation Agent are quoting as mentioned herein, the CMT Rate determined as of such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date will be the CMT Rate in effect on such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date, or if no such CMT Rate is then in effect, the interest rate on this Security will be the Initial Interest Rate. If two Treasury Notes with an original maturity as described in the second preceding sentence have remaining terms to maturity equally close to the Designated CMT Maturity Index, the Calculation Agent will obtain quotations for the Treasury Note with the shorter remaining term to maturity.

"Designated CMT Telerate Page" means the display on the Dow Jones Telerate Service (or any successor service) on the page specified above (or any other page as may replace such page on such service) for the purpose of displaying Treasury Constant Maturities as reported in H.15(519). If no such page is specified above, the Designated CMT Telerate Page shall be 7052 for the most recent week.

"Designated CMT Maturity Index" means the original period to maturity of the U.S. Treasury securities (either 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 10, 20 or 30 years) specified above with respect to which the CMT Rate will be calculated or, if no such maturity is specified above, 2 years.

DETERMINATION OF COMMERCIAL PAPER RATE

If the Interest Rate Basis specified above is the Commercial Paper Rate, this Security shall bear interest for each Interest Reset Period at an interest rate calculated with reference to the Commercial Paper Rate, determined as set forth below, and the Spread or Spread Multiplier, if any, specified above.

The Commercial Paper Rate for each Interest Reset Period shall be determined by the Calculation Agent with respect to any Interest Determination Date (a "Commercial Paper Rate Interest Determination Date") and shall be the Money Market Yield (as defined herein) on such Commercial Paper Rate Interest Determination Date of the rate for commercial paper having the Index Maturity specified above as published in H.15(519) (as hereinafter defined) under the heading "Commercial Paper- Nonfinancial," or if such rate is not so published prior to 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, the Money Market Yield as of such Commercial Paper Rate Interest Determination Date of the rate for commercial paper having the Index Maturity specified above as published in Composite Quotations (as hereinafter defined) under the heading "Commercial Paper" (with an Index Maturity of one month or three months being deemed to be equivalent to an Index Maturity of 30 days or 90 days, respectively) or (b) if neither of such rates is published by 11:00 P.M., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, the Money Market Yield of the arithmetic mean of the offered rates at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on such Commercial Paper Rate Interest Determination Date of three leading dealers of commercial paper in The City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent for commercial paper having the Index Maturity specified above placed for an industrial issuer whose bond rating is "Aa," or the equivalent, from a nationally recognized statistical rating organization; provided, however, that if the dealers selected as aforesaid are not quoting rates as mentioned in this sentence, the Commercial Paper Rate determined as of such Commercial Paper Rate Interest Determination Date will be the Commercial Paper Rate in effect on such Commercial Paper Rate Interest Determination Date, or if no such Commercial Paper Rate is then in effect, the interest rate on this Security shall be the Initial Interest Rate.

"Money Market Yield" means a yield (expressed as a percentage) calculated in accordance with the following formula:

DETERMINATION OF FEDERAL FUNDS RATE

If the Interest Rate Basis specified above is the Federal Funds Rate, this Security shall bear interest for each Interest Reset Period at an interest rate calculated with reference to the Federal Funds Rate, determined as set forth below, and the Spread or Spread Multiplier, if any, specified above.

The Federal Funds Rate for each Interest Reset Period shall be determined by the Calculation Agent with respect to any Interest Determination Date (a "Federal Funds Rate Interest Determination Date") and shall be the rate on such Federal Funds Interest Determination Date for United States dollar federal funds as published in H.15(519) under the heading "Federal Funds (Effective)" or, if not published by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, the rate on such Federal Funds Rate Interest Determination Date as published in Composite Quotations under the heading "Federal Funds/Effective Rate." If such rate is not published in either H.15(519) or Composite Quotations by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, then the Federal Funds Rate on such Federal Funds Rate Interest Determination Date shall be calculated by the Calculation Agent and shall be the arithmetic mean of the rates for the last transaction in overnight United States dollar federal funds arranged by three leading brokers of federal funds transactions in The City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent prior to 9:00 A.M., New York City time, on such Federal Funds Rate Interest Determination Date; provided, however, that if the brokers so selected by the Calculation Agent are not quoting rates as mentioned in this sentence, the Federal Funds Rate determined as of such Federal Funds Rate Interest Determination Date will be the Federal Funds Rate in effect on such Federal Funds Rate Interest Determination Date, or if no Federal Funds Rate is then in effect, the interest rate on this Security will be the Initial Interest Rate.

DETERMINATION OF LIBOR

If the Interest Rate Basis specified above is LIBOR, this Security shall bear interest for each Interest Reset Period at an interest rate calculated with reference to LIBOR and the Spread Multiplier, if any, specified above. "LIBOR" for each Interest Reset Period shall be determined with respect to any Interest Determination Date (a "LIBOR Interest Determination Date") by the Calculation Agent for such LIBOR Note as follows:

(i) LIBOR will be either: (a) if "LIBOR Reuters" is specified above, the arithmetic mean of the offered rates (unless the Designated LIBOR Page (as defined below) by its terms provides only for a single rate, in which case such single rate shall be used) for deposits in United States dollars having the Index Maturity specified above, commencing on the applicable Interest Reset Date, that appear (or, if only a single rate is required as aforesaid, appears) on the Designated LIBOR Page as of 11:00 A.M., London time, on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date, or
(b) if "LIBOR Telerate" is specified above or if neither "LIBOR Reuters" nor "LIBOR Telerate" is specified above as the method for calculating LIBOR, the rate for deposits in United States dollars having the Index Maturity specified above, commencing on such Interest Reset Date, that appears on the Designated LIBOR Page as of 11:00 A.M., London time, on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date. If fewer than two such offered rates so appear, or if no such rate so appears, as applicable, LIBOR on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date will be determined in accordance with the provisions described in clause (ii) below.

(ii) With respect to a LIBOR Interest Determination Date on which fewer than two offered rates appear, or no rate appears, as the case may be, on the Designated LIBOR Page as specified in clause (i) above, the Calculation Agent will request the principal London offices of each of four major reference banks in the London interbank market, as selected by the Calculation Agent, to provide the Calculation Agent with its offered quotation for deposits in United States dollars for the period of the Index Maturity specified above, commencing on the applicable Interest Reset Date, to prime banks in the London interbank market at approximately 11:00 A.M., London time, on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in United States dollars in such market at such time. If at least two such quotations are so provided, then LIBOR on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of such quotations. If fewer than two such quotations are so provided, then LIBOR on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted at approximately 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date by three major banks in The City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent for loans in United States dollars to leading European banks, for the period of the Index Maturity specified above and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in United States dollars in such market at such time; provided, however, that if the banks so selected by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned in this sentence, LIBOR determined as of such LIBOR Interest Determination Date will be LIBOR in effect on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date, or if no such LIBOR rate is then in effect, the interest rate on this Security shall be the Initial Interest Rate.

"Designated LIBOR Page" means (a) if "LIBOR Reuters" is specified above, the display on the Reuter Monitor Money Rates Service (or any successor service) on the page specified above (or any other page as may replace such page on such service) for the purpose of displaying the London interbank rates of major banks for United States dollars or (b) if "LIBOR Telerate" is specified above or neither "LIBOR Reuters" nor "LIBOR Telerate" is specified above as the method for calculating LIBOR, the display on the Dow Jones Telerate Service (or any successor service) on the page specified above (or any other page as may replace such page on such service) for the purpose of displaying the London interbank rates of major banks for United States dollars.

DETERMINATION OF PRIME RATE

If the Interest Rate Basis specified above is the Prime Rate, this Security shall bear interest for each Interest Reset Period at an interest rate calculated with reference to the Prime Rate, determined as set forth below, and the Spread or Spread Multiplier, if any, specified above.

The Prime Rate for each Interest Reset Period shall be determined by the Calculation Agent with respect to any Interest Determination Date (a "Prime Rate Interest Determination Date") and shall be the Prime Rate on such Prime Rate Interest Determination Date as such rate is published in H.15(519) under the heading "Bank Prime Loan." If such rate is not published prior to 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, then the Prime Rate shall be the arithmetic mean of the rates of interest publicly announced by each bank that appears on the Reuters Screen USPRIME1 Page (as hereinafter defined) as such bank's prime rate or base lending rate as in effect for such Prime Rate Interest Determination Date. If fewer than four such rates appear on the Reuters Screen USPRIME1 Page for such Prime Rate Interest Determination Date, then the Prime Rate shall be the arithmetic mean of the prime rates or base lending rates quoted on the basis of the actual number of days in the year divided by a 360-day year as of the close of business on such Prime Rate Interest Determination Date by four major money center banks in The City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent. If fewer than four such quotations are so provided, then the Prime Rate shall be the arithmetic mean of four prime rates quoted on the basis of the actual number of days in the year divided by a 360-day year as of the close of business on such Prime Rate Interest Determination Date as furnished in The City of New York by the major money center banks, if any, that have provided such quotations and by a reasonable number of substitute banks or trust companies to obtain four such prime rate quotations, provided such substitute banks or trust companies are organized and doing business under the laws of the United States, or any State thereof, each having total equity capital of at least $500 million and being subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State authority, selected by the Calculation Agent to provide such rate or rates; provided, however, that if the banks or trust companies so selected by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the Prime Rate determined as of such Prime Rate Interest Determination Date will be the Prime Rate in effect on such Prime Rate Interest Determination Date, or if no such Prime Rate is then in effect, the interest rate on this Security shall be the Initial Interest Rate.

"Reuters Screen USPRIME1 Page" means the display on the Reuter Monitor Money Rates Service (or any successor service) on the "USPRIME1" page (or such other page as may replace the USPRIME1 page on such service) for the purpose of displaying prime rates or base lending rates of major United States banks.

DETERMINATION OF TREASURY RATE

If the Interest Rate Basis specified above is the Treasury Rate, this Security shall bear interest for each Interest Reset Period at an interest rate calculated with reference to the Treasury Rate and the Spread or Spread Multiplier, if any, specified above.

The "Treasury Rate" for each Interest Reset Period shall be determined by the Calculation Agent with respect to any Interest Determination Date (a "Treasury Rate Interest Determination Date") and shall be the rate from the auction held on such Treasury Rate Interest Determination Date (the "Auction") of direct obligations of the United States ("Treasury bills") having the Index Maturity specified above, as such rate is published in H.15(519) under the heading "Treasury Bills - auction average (investment)" or, if not published by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, the auction average rate of such Treasury Bills (expressed as a bond equivalent on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable, and applied on a daily basis) as otherwise announced by the United States Department of the Treasury. In the event that the results of the Auction of Treasury Bills having the Index Maturity specified above are not reported as provided by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, or if no such Auction is held, then the "Treasury Rate" will be calculated by the Calculation Agent and will be a yield to maturity (expressed as a bond equivalent on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable, and applied on a daily basis) of the arithmetic mean of the secondary market bid rates, as of approximately 3:30 P.M., New York City time, on such Treasury Rate Interest Determination Date, of three leading primary United States government securities dealers selected by the Calculation Agent, for the issue of Treasury bills with a remaining maturity closest to the Index Maturity specified above; provided, however, that if the dealers so selected by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the Treasury Rate determined as of such Treasury Rate Interest Determination Date will be the Treasury Rate in effect on such Treasury Rate Interest Determination Date, or if no such Treasury Rate is then in effect, the interest rate on this Security will be the Initial Interest Rate.

If, as specified above, this Security is redeemable, this Security is subject to redemption at any time on or after the Initial Redemption Date specified above, in whole or in part in increments of $1,000, at the election of the Company, at the applicable redemption price (as described below) plus accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption. Such redemption price shall be the Initial Redemption Price specified above for the twelve-month period commencing on the Initial Redemption Date and shall decline for the twelve-month period commencing on each anniversary of the Initial Redemption Date by a percentage of principal amount equal to the Annual Redemption Percentage Reduction specified above until such redemption price is 100% of the principal amount of this Security to be redeemed.

[Insert provisions, if any, for redemption pursuant to a sinking fund or other mandatory redemption provisions.]

Notice of redemption (other than at the option of the Holder) shall be given by mail to Holders of Securities, not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption, all as provided in the Indenture. As provided in the Indenture, notice of redemption at the election of the Company as aforesaid may state that such redemption shall be conditional upon the receipt by the Trustee of money sufficient to pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on this Security on or prior to the date fixed for such redemption; a notice of redemption so conditioned shall be of no force or effect if such money is not so received and, in such event, the Company shall not be required to redeem this Security.

In the event of redemption of this Security in part only, a new Security or Securities of this series, of like tenor, representing the unredeemed portion hereof shall be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof.

If this Security is specified on the face hereof to be repayable at the Option of the Holder, this Security will be so repaid in whole or in part in increments of $1,000, provided that the remaining principal amount of any Security surrendered for partial repayment shall be at least $1,000, on any Option Repayment Date (as stated on the face hereof), at the option of the Holder, at 100% of the principal amount to be repaid, plus accrued interest, if any, to the repayment date. In order for the exercise of the option to be effective and the Security to be repaid, the Company must receive at the applicable address of the Trustee set forth below, or at such other place or places of which the Company shall from time to time notify the Holder of this Security, on or before the thirtieth, but not earlier than the sixtieth calendar day, or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day, prior to the repayment date, either (i) this Security, with the form below entitled "Option to Elect Repayment" duly completed, or (ii) a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission, or letter from a member of a national securities exchange or the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or a commercial bank or a trust company in the United States of America setting forth (a) the name, address, and telephone number of the Holder of this Security, (b) the principal amount of this Security and the amount of this Security to be repaid, (c) a statement that the option to elect repayment is being exercised thereby, and (d) a guarantee stating that the Trustee on behalf of the Company will receive this Security, with the form below entitled "Option to Elect Repayment" duly completed, not later than five Business Days after the date of such telegram, telex, facsimile transmission, or letter (and this Security and form duly completed are received by the Trustee on behalf of the Company by such fifth Business Day). Any such election shall be irrevocable. The address to which such deliveries are to be made is The Chase Manhattan Bank, Attention:
Corporate Trustee Administration Department, 450 West 33rd Street, New York, New York 10001 (or, at such other places as the Company shall notify the Holders of the Securities).

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the Trustee to enter into one or more supplemental indentures for the purpose of adding any provisions to, or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of, the Indenture with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of all series then Outstanding under the Indenture, considered as one class; provided, however, that if there shall be Securities of more than one series Outstanding under the Indenture and if a proposed supplemental indenture shall directly affect the rights of the Holders of Securities of one or more, but less than all, of such series, then the consent only of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of all series so directly affected, considered as one class, shall be required; and provided, further, that if the Securities of any series shall have been issued in more than one Tranche and if the proposed supplemental indenture shall directly affect the rights of the Holders of Securities of one or more, but less than all, of such Tranches, then the consent only of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of all Tranches so directly affected, considered as one class, shall be required; and provided, further, that the Indenture permits the Trustee to enter into one or more supplemental indentures for limited purposes without the consent of any Holders of Securities. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities then Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security.

In case of the failure of PP&L Capital Funding, Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware (the "Company", which term includes any successor under the Indenture), punctually to make any such payment, the Guarantor hereby agrees to cause such payment to be made punctually when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at the Stated Maturity or by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise, and as if such payment were made by the Company.

The Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of, and shall be unaffected by, any invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability of such Security or the Indenture, any failure to enforce the provisions of such Security or the Indenture, or any waiver, modification or indulgence granted to the Company with respect thereto, by the Holder of such Security or the Trustee or any other circumstance which may otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, no such waiver, modification or indulgence shall, without the consent of the Guarantor, increase the principal amount of such Security, or increase the interest rate thereon, or change any redemption provisions thereof (including any change to increase any premium payable upon redemption thereof) or change the Stated Maturity thereof.

The Guarantor hereby waives the benefits of diligence, presentment, demand for payment, any requirement that the Trustee or the Holder of such Security exhaust any right or take any action against the Company or any other Person, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest or notice with respect to such Security or the indebtedness evidenced thereby and all demands whatsoever, and covenants that this Guarantee will not be discharged in respect of such Security except by complete performance of the obligations contained in such Security and in this Guarantee. This Guarantee shall constitute a guaranty of payment and not of collection. The Guarantor hereby agrees that, in the event of a default in payment of principal, or premium, if any, or interest, if any, on such Security, whether at its Stated Maturity, by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption, or otherwise, legal proceedings may be instituted by the Trustee on behalf of, or by, the Holder of such Security, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture, directly against the Guarantor to enforce this Guarantee without first proceeding against the Company.

The obligations of the Guarantor hereunder with respect to such Security shall be continuing and irrevocable until the date upon which the entire principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such Security has been, or has been deemed pursuant to the provisions of Article Seven of the Indenture to have been, paid in full or otherwise discharged.

The Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of the Holder of such Security upon which this Guarantee is endorsed against the Company in respect of any amounts paid by the Guarantor on account of such Security pursuant to the provisions of this Guarantee or the Indenture; provided, however, that the Guarantor shall not be entitled to enforce or to receive any payments arising out of, or based upon, such right of subrogation until the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on all Securities issued under the Indenture shall have been paid in full.

This Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and continue notwithstanding any petition filed by or against the Company for liquidation or reorganization, the Company becoming insolvent or making an assignment for the benefit of creditors or a receiver or trustee being appointed for all or any significant part of the Company's assets, and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, continue to be effective or reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment of the Security upon which this Guarantee is endorsed, is, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Holder of such Security, whether as a "voidable preference," "fraudulent transfer," or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned on such Security, such Security shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be reinstated and deemed paid only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

This Guarantee shall not be valid or obligatory for any purpose until the certificate of authentication of the Security upon which this Guarantee is endorsed shall have been manually executed by or on behalf of the Trustee under the Indenture.
