DESCRIPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES

The statements under this caption relating to the Debt Securities and the Indenture are summaries and do not purport to be complete. Such summaries use terms defined in, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to, the Debt Securities and the Indenture and the cited provisions thereof. All references to "Section" or "Article" in this "Description of Debt Securities" are to the applicable Section or Article of the Indenture. A copy of the Indenture is filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus is a part.

GENERAL

The Debt Securities will be issued under an Indenture dated as of May 1, 1996 (the "Indenture") between the Company and Chemical Bank (the "Trustee"). The Indenture authorizes the issuance by the Company from time to time of Debt Securities in one or more series. The Indenture does not limit the amount of Debt Securities which may be issued thereunder, and provides that the specific terms of any series of Debt Securities shall be set forth in, or determined pursuant to, an authorizing resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company or in a supplemental indenture relating to such series. The Debt Securities will be unsecured obligations of the Company and will rank pari passu with all other unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the Company. The Debt Securities will be a new issue of securities with no established trading market. No assurance can be given as to the liquidity of the trading market for the Debt Securities.

Reference is made to the Prospectus Supplement or applicable Pricing Supplement for the following terms of the Debt Securities ("Offered Debt Securities") in respect of which this Prospectus is being delivered (to the extent such terms are applicable to such Debt Securities): (i) designation, aggregate principal amount and purchase price; (ii) date of maturity; (iii) interest rate or rates (or method by which such rate or rates will be determined), if any; (iv) the dates on which any such interest will be payable;
(v) the place or places where the principal of and interest, if any, on the Offered Debt Securities will be payable; (vi) any redemption or sinking fund provisions; (vii) whether the Offered Debt Securities are to be issued in the form of one or more global securities and, if so and different from the depositary identified below, the identity of a depositary for such global securities; and (viii) any other specific terms of the Offered Debt Securities.

The Prospectus Supplement or Pricing Supplement relating to each series of Debt Securities will indicate either that Debt Securities of such series cannot be redeemed prior to maturity or that such Debt Securities will be redeemable at the option of the Company, at the option of the holder or both, on or after a specified date or dates prior to maturity on terms set forth therein. Except as set forth in the applicable Prospectus Supplement or Pricing Supplement, the Debt Securities will not be subject to any sinking fund.

The Company may purchase Debt Securities at any price in the open market or otherwise. Debt Securities so purchased by the Company may, at the discretion of the Company, be held or resold or surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation or in satisfaction of any redemption requirements.

Debt Securities will bear interest at a fixed rate or a floating rate. Debt Securities bearing no interest or interest at a rate which, at the time of issuance, is below the prevailing market rate will be sold at a substantial discount below their stated principal amount. Special United States federal income tax considerations applicable to any such discounted Debt Securities or to certain Debt Securities issued at par which are treated as having been issued at a discount for United States federal income tax purposes are described in the relevant Prospectus Supplement.

Debt Securities will be issued only in fully registered form and will be represented either by Debt Securities issued in definitive form or by one or more Global Securities registered in the name of a depositary

4

or its nominee (see "Global Securities" below). In the case of Debt Securities issued in definitive form, the applicable Prospectus Supplement or Pricing Supplement will specify the manner of payment of principal and interest thereon and the place or places where the Debt Securities may be presented for exchange or transfer.

GLOBAL SECURITIES

The Debt Securities of a series may be issued in the form of one or more fully registered global securities (each a "Global Security") that will be deposited with The Depository Trust Company (the "Depositary"), or with a nominee for the Depositary. In such case, one or more Global Securities will be issued in a denomination or aggregate denominations equal to the portion of the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Debt Securities of the series to be represented by such Global Security or Securities. Unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for Debt Securities in definitive registered form, a Global Security may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary or by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or to another nominee of the Depositary or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor of the Depositary or a nominee of such successor.

The Depositary has advised the Company that it is a limited-purpose trust company organized under the laws of the State of New York, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a "clearing corporation" within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code and a "clearing agency" registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Exchange Act. The Depositary was created to hold securities for persons that have accounts with the Depositary ("participants") and to facilitate the clearance and settlement of securities transactions among its participants in such securities through electronic book-entry changes in accounts of the participants, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of securities certificates. The Depositary's participants include securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other organizations, some of whom (and/or their representatives) own the Depositary. Access to the Depositary's book-entry system is also available to others, such as banks, brokers, dealers and trust companies that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a participant, either directly or indirectly. Persons who are not participants may beneficially own securities held by the Depositary only through participants.

Upon the issuance of a Global Security, the Depositary will credit, on its book-entry registration and transfer system, the respective principal amounts of the Debt Securities represented by such Global Security to the accounts of participants. The accounts to be credited shall be designated by any underwriters or agents participating in the distribution of such Debt Securities, or by the Company if such Debt Securities are offered and sold directly by the Company. Ownership of beneficial interests in a Global Security will be limited to participants or persons that may hold interests through participants. Ownership of beneficial interests in such Global Security will be shown on, and the transfer of such ownership will be effected only through, records maintained by the Depositary or its nominee (with respect to beneficial interests of participants) or by participants or persons that hold through participants (with respect to beneficial interests of beneficial owners). The laws of some states require that certain purchasers of securities take physical delivery of such securities in definitive form. Such limits and such laws may impair the ability to transfer beneficial interests in a Global Security.

So long as the Depositary or its nominee is the registered owner of a Global Security, the Depositary or such nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the sole owner or holder of the Debt Securities represented by such Global Security for all purposes under the Indenture. Except as set forth below, owners of beneficial interests in a Global Security will not be entitled to have the Debt Securities represented by such Global Security registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of such Debt Securities in definitive form and will not be considered the owners or holders thereof under the Indenture.

Principal, premium, if any, and interest payments on Debt Securities represented by a Global Security registered in the name of the Depositary or its nominee will be made to the Depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, as the registered owner of such Global Security. None of the Company, the Trustee, any paying agent or any security registrar for such Debt Securities will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests in such Global Security, or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests.

5

The Company expects that the Depositary or its nominee, upon receipt of any payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest in respect of a Global Security, will immediately credit participants' accounts with payments in amounts proportionate to their respective beneficial interests in the principal amount of such Global Security as shown on the records of the Depositary or its nominee. The Company also expects that payments by participants to owners of beneficial interests in a Global Security held through such participants will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is now the case with securities held for the accounts of customers in "street names," and will be the responsibility of such participants.

If the Depositary is at any time unwilling, unable or ineligible to continue as depositary and a successor depositary is not appointed by the Company within ninety days, the Company will issue Debt Securities of any series then represented by one or more Global Securities in definitive form in exchange for such Global Security or Securities. In addition, the Company may at any time and in its sole discretion determine not to have the Debt Securities of a series represented by one or more Global Securities and, in such event, will issue Debt Securities of such series in definitive form in exchange for the Global Security or Securities representing such Debt Securities. Further, if the Company so specifies with respect to the Debt Securities of a series, an owner of a beneficial interest in a Global Security representing such Debt Securities may, on terms acceptable to the Company and the Depositary for such Global Security, receive such Debt Securities in definitive form. In any such instance, an owner of a beneficial interest in such a Global Security will be entitled to have Debt Securities equal in principal amount to such beneficial interest registered in its name and will be entitled to physical delivery of such Debt Securities in definitive form. Debt Securities so issued in definitive form will, except as set forth in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, be issued in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof and will be issued in registered form only, without coupons.

CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS

The restrictions summarized below apply to the Offered Debt Securities unless the Prospectus Supplement provides otherwise. Certain terms used in the following description of such restrictions are defined under "Certain Definitions" below. The following description does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Indenture.

Limitations on Liens

The Indenture provides that the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries will not create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any mortgage, pledge or other lien or encumbrance of or upon any Principal Property or any shares of capital stock or indebtedness of any Restricted Subsidiary, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, if after giving effect thereto (but not to certain permitted liens) the aggregate principal amount of indebtedness secured by mortgages, pledges, liens or other encumbrances would be in excess of 5% of the Company's Consolidated Net Worth (as defined in the Indenture) unless the Debt Securities then outstanding will be secured by such mortgage, pledge, lien or encumbrance equally and ratably with (or prior to) any and all obligations, indebtedness or claims secured by such mortgage, pledge, lien or encumbrance; except that the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries may incur certain liens and encumbrances described in the Indenture without so securing the Debt Securities. Among such permitted liens are (i) purchase money mortgages, including conditional sales and other title retention agreements; (ii) liens securing certain construction and improvement loans; (iii) liens in connection with government contracts; (iv) liens securing indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary outstanding at the time it became a Subsidiary; and (v) certain liens in favor of an instrumentality of the United States or any State or any political subdivision thereof to secure indebtedness incurred to finance the acquisition, construction or improvement of the property subject to the lien. (Section 5.11)

Limitations on Sales and Leasebacks

The Indenture provides that the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries will not sell or transfer any Principal Property with the intention of entering into a lease of such facility for a term of more than three years, unless the Attributable Debt in respect of all such sales and leasebacks involving Principal Properties shall not exceed 5% of Consolidated Net Worth, or unless the net proceeds of such sale are applied to the redemption of Debt Securities or the reduction of other Funded Debt in an aggregate principal amount (or, in

6

the case of an Original Issue Discount Security, such portion of the principal as would have been payable if such Securities had been accelerated to such date) equal to such net proceeds, or unless the Company applies such net proceeds to the purchase of properties, facilities or equipment to be used for operating purposes. (Section 5.10)

Consolidation, Merger or Sale of Assets

The Company covenants in the Indenture that it will not consolidate or merge with or into any other corporation, or sell or transfer all or substantially all of its property and assets to any other corporation, (i) unless the surviving or successor corporation assumes the obligations of the Company under the Indenture and is not in default thereunder immediately after the consummation of the transaction or (ii) if, upon such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer becoming effective, any of the property or assets of the Company would become or be subject to any mortgage or other lien (an "additional lien"), other than liens existing thereon prior thereto and liens permitted by
Section 5.11 (see "Limitations on Liens" above), unless, prior to such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer, the Debt Securities are directly secured by a lien ranking prior to such additional lien on all of the property and assets of the Company that would become subject to such additional lien or the Debt Securities outstanding immediately after such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer shall be equally and ratably secured with (or prior to) any and all obligations, indebtedness and claims secured by such additional lien.
(Section 12.01)

In the event of a sale or transfer of substantially all of the assets of the Company and the assumption of the Company's obligations under the Indenture by the purchaser, the Company will be discharged from all obligations under the Indenture and the Debt Securities. (Section 12.02)

Certain Definitions

The term "Attributable Debt" with respect to any sale and leaseback transaction means, at the time of the determination, the present value (discounted at the rate of interest implicit in the terms of the lease) of the obligation of the lessee for net rental payments during the remaining term of the lease (including any period for which such lease has been extended or may, at the option of the lessor, be extended). "Net rental payments" as used in the preceding sentence means the sum of the rental and other payments required to be paid in such period by the lessee under any lease, not including, however, any amounts required to be paid by such lessee (whether or not designated as rental or additional rental) on account of maintenance and repairs, insurance, taxes, assessments, water rates or similar charges required to be paid by such lessee thereunder or any amounts required to be paid by such lessee thereunder contingent upon the amount of sales, maintenance and repairs, insurance, taxes, assessments, water rates or similar charges. (Section 1.01)

The term " Original Issue Discount Security" means any Debt Security that provides for an amount less than the principal amount thereof to be due and payable upon a declaration of acceleration of the maturity thereof pursuant to
Section 7.01 of the Indenture. (Section 1.01)

The term "Principal Property" means any manufacturing plant located within the United States of America (other than its territories or possessions) and owned or leased by the Company or any Subsidiary, except any such plant that, in the opinion of the Board of Directors, is not of material importance to the business conducted by the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.
(Section 1.01)

The term "Restricted Subsidiary" means any Subsidiary that owns or leases a Principal Property. As noted above, the definition of Principal Property does not include foreign facilities. "Subsidiary" means any corporation of which the Company, or the Company and one or more Subsidiaries, directly or indirectly own at the time (i) more than 50% of the outstanding capital stock having under ordinary circumstances (not dependent upon the happening of a contingency) voting power in the election of members of the board of directors, managers or trustees of said corporation, and (ii) securities having at such time voting power to elect at least a majority of the members of the board of directors, managers or trustees of said corporation. (Section 1.01)

7

EVENTS OF DEFAULT

As used in the Indenture, the term "Event of Default" with respect to any series of Debt Securities includes (i) the failure of the Company to pay interest on such Debt Securities that continues for a period of 30 days after such payment is due, or to make any principal or premium payment when due; (ii) the failure of the Company to comply with any other agreements contained in the Indenture or such Debt Securities for 90 days after notice of such failure;
(iii) certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Company; and (iv) an event of default as defined in any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which is issued, or securing or evidencing, indebtedness of the Company (other than the Debt Securities of such series) that results in such indebtedness becoming or being declared due and payable prior to maturity, if such acceleration is not rescinded within 10 days after notice to the Company from the Trustee (or to the Company and the Trustee from the holders of not less than 25% of the then outstanding Securities of all series) under the Indenture. The Indenture provides that the Trustee may withhold notice to the holders of any series of Debt Securities of any default (except a default in payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Debt Security) if the Trustee determines it is in the best interest of the holders of such Debt Securities to do so. (Section 7.01 and Section 7.07)

The Indenture provides that, (i) if an Event of Default due to the default in payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any series of Debt Securities issued under the Indenture, or due to the default in the performance or breach of any other covenant or warranty of the Company applicable to the Debt Securities of such series but not applicable to all outstanding Debt Securities issued under the Indenture, shall have occurred and be continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Debt Securities of each affected series (voting as a single class) issued under the Indenture and then outstanding may then declare the principal (or, in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal as may be specified in the terms thereof) of all Debt Securities of each such affected series and interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately and (ii) if an Event of Default due to a default in the performance of any other of the covenants or agreements in the Indenture applicable to all outstanding Debt Securities issued thereunder and then outstanding, due to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency and reorganization of the Company, or due to defaults under and acceleration of other indebtedness under circumstances described in the Indenture, shall have occurred and be continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of all Debt Securities then outstanding under the Indenture (treated as a single class) may declare the principal (or, in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal as may be specified in the terms thereof) of all such Debt Securities and interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately; provided that upon certain conditions such declarations may be annulled, and past defaults may be waived (except a continuing default in payment of principal of or premium, if any, or interest on such Debt Securities), by the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Debt Securities of such series (or of all series, in the case of defaults described in clause (ii)) then outstanding.
(Section 7.01 and Section 7.06)

The Trustee may refuse to enforce the Indenture or the Debt Securities unless it first receives satisfactory security or indemnity. Subject to certain limitations specified in the Indenture, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Debt Securities of an affected series then outstanding will have the right to direct the time, methods and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee. (Section 8.02 and Section 7.06)

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE

The Indenture provides that the Company will be discharged from obligations in respect of the Indenture and the outstanding Debt Securities of a series upon deposit in trust with the Trustee of money or U.S. Government Obligations sufficient for payment of all principal and interest on the Debt Securities of such series, when due; provided, however, that, in the event of such deposit, certain of the Company's obligations under the Indenture, including the obligation to pay the principal of and interest on the Debt Securities of such series, shall continue until all of such Debt Securities of such series issued under the Indenture are no longer outstanding. Such a deposit in trust may occur only if, among other things, the Company has received an opinion of counsel stating that holders of Debt Securities of such series will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit and discharge and will be subject to federal

8

income tax on the same amounts and in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such deposit and discharge had not occurred.
(Article Four)

MODIFICATION

Under the Indenture, subject to certain exceptions, the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the holders of a series of Debt Securities may be modified by the Company and the Trustee only with the consent of the holders of at least 66 2/3% in aggregate principal amount of Debt Securities of such series then outstanding. However, no extension of the maturity of any Debt Securities, or reduction in the interest rate, principal amount, or premium, if any, payable upon redemption, or extension of the time of payment of interest, or reduction in the amount of principal due and payable upon an acceleration of maturity upon an Event of Default or the amount thereof provable in bankruptcy, or impairment or effect upon the right of any holder of the Debt Securities to institute suit for the payment thereof or, if the securities provide therefor, any right of repayment at the option of the holder of the Debt Securities, or reduction of the percentage of any series of Debt Securities required for modification, will be effective without the consent of the holder of each Debt Security so affected. (Section 11.02)

REPORTS TO TRUSTEE

The Company covenants in the Indenture that it will provide Trustee with an officers' certificate stating that the activities of the Company during the preceding fiscal year have been reviewed and that, to the best of the knowledge of such officers, the Company is not in default in the performance, observance or fulfillment of the terms, provisions and conditions of the Indenture and that no default exists or, if a default exists, specifying all such defaults of which such officers may have knowledge. (Section 5.13)

REGARDING THE TRUSTEE

The Trustee, Chemical Bank, is one of a number of banks with which the Company maintains ordinary banking relationships and credit facilities.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS.

The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made of the Debt Securities registered hereby, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

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

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

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

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

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

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

(4) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new Registration Statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

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

8

(ix) the Company is not an "investment company" or an entity "controlled" by an "investment company," as such terms are defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended; and

d. The Manager shall have received on the Closing Date an opinion of Brown & Wood, special counsel for the Underwriters, dated the Closing Date, covering the matters referred to in subparagraph (iii), (iv), (vi) (but only as to the statements in the Prospectus under "Description of Debt Securities" and "Plan of Distribution") and (x) (2) and (3) of paragraph (c) above.

5. COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY. In further consideration of the agreements of the Underwriters herein contained, the Company covenants as follows:

a. To furnish the Manager, without charge, a signed copy of the Registration Statement (including exhibits thereto) and to deliver to each other Underwriter a conformed copy of the Registration Statement (without exhibits thereto) and, during the period mentioned in paragraph (c) below, as many copies of the Prospectus, any documents incorporated by reference therein and any supplements and amendments thereto or to the Registration Statement as the Manager may reasonably request.

b. Before amending or supplementing the Registration Statement or the Prospectus with respect to the Offered Securities, to furnish to the Manager a copy of each such proposed amendment or supplement and not to file any such proposed amendment or supplement to which the Manager reasonably objects.

c. If, during such period after the first date of the public offering of the Offered Securities as in the opinion of counsel for the Underwriters the Prospectus is required by law to be delivered in connection with sales by an Underwriter or dealer, any event shall occur or condition exist as a result of

10

which it is necessary to amend or supplement the Prospectus in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances when the Prospectus is delivered to a purchaser, not misleading, or if, in the opinion of counsel for the Underwriters, it is necessary to amend or supplement the Prospectus to comply with law, forthwith to prepare, file with the Commission and furnish, at its own expense, to the Underwriters, and to the dealers (whose names and addresses the Manager will furnish to the Company) to which Offered Securities may have been sold by the Manager on behalf of the Underwriters and to any other dealers upon request, either amendments or supplements to the Prospectus so that the statements in the Prospectus as so amended or supplemented will not, in the light of the circumstances when the Prospectus is delivered to a purchaser, be misleading or so that the Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, will comply with law.

d. To endeavor to qualify the Offered Securities for offer and sale under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as the Manager shall reasonably request and to maintain such qualification for as long as the Manager shall reasonably request.

e. To make generally available to its security holders and to the Manager as soon as practicable an earning statement covering a twelve month period beginning on the first day of the first full fiscal quarter after the date of this Agreement, which earning statement shall satisfy the provisions of
Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder. If such fiscal quarter is the last fiscal quarter of the Company's fiscal year, such earning statement shall be made available not later than 90 days after the close of the period covered thereby and in all other cases shall be made available not later than 45 days after the close of the period covered thereby.

f. During the period beginning on the date of the Underwriting Agreement and continuing to and including the Closing Date, not to offer, sell, contract to sell or otherwise dispose of any debt securities of the Company or warrants to purchase debt securities of the Company substantially similar to the Offered Securities (other than (i) the Offered Securities and (ii) commercial paper issued in the ordinary course of business), without the prior written consent of the Manager.

g. Whether or not any sale of Offered Securities is consummated, to pay all expenses incident to the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, including: (i) the preparation and filing of the Registration Statement and the Prospectus and all amendments and supplements thereto, (ii) the preparation, issuance and delivery of the Offered Securities, (iii) the reasonable fees and disbursements of the Company's

11

counsel and accountants and of the Trustee and its counsel, (iv) the qualification of the Offered Securities under securities or Blue Sky laws in accordance with the provisions of Section 6(d), including filing fees and the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Underwriters in connection therewith and in connection with the preparation of any Blue Sky or Legal Investment Memoranda, (v) the printing and delivery to the Underwriters in quantities as hereinabove stated of copies of the Prospectus and any amendments or supplements thereto, (vi) any fees charged by rating agencies for the rating of the Offered Securities, and (vii) the fees and expenses, if any, incurred with respect to any filing with the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.

6. INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION. a. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter and each person, if any, who controls such Underwriter within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any amendment thereof, any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus (as amended or supplemented if the Company shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto), or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities are caused by any such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission based upon information relating to any Underwriter furnished to the Company in writing by such Underwriter through the Manager expressly for use therein.

b. Each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, its officers who sign the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act of Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to such Underwriter, but only with reference to information relating to such Underwriter furnished to the Company in writing by such Underwriter through the Manager expressly for use in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, the Prospectus or any amendment or supplements thereto.

c. In case any proceedings (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to either paragraph (a) or (b) above, such person (the "indemnified party") shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the "indemnifying party") in writing and the indemnifying party, upon request of the indemnified party, shall

12

retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party and any others the indemnifying party may designate in such proceedings and shall pay the reasonable fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding. In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel or (ii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in respect of the legal expenses of any indemnified party in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all such indemnified parties and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. Such firm shall be designated in writing by the Manager, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to paragraph (a) above, and by the Company, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to paragraph (b) above. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by the second and third sentences of this paragraph, the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 30 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request and (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding.

d. To the extent the indemnification provided for in paragraph
(a) or (b) of this Section 8 is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient in respect of any losses,

13

claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each indemnifying party under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand from the offering of the Offered Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause
(i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Underwriters on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand in connection with the offering of the Offered Securities shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net proceeds from the offering of such Offered Securities (before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover of the Prospectus Supplement, bear to the aggregate public offering price of the Offered Securities. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the underwriters on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or by the Underwriters and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Underwriters' respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 8 are several in proportion to the respective principal amounts of Offered Securities they have purchased hereunder, and not joint.

e. The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in paragraph (d) above. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claims. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Offered Securities underwritten by it and distributed to the public were

14

offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages that such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The remedies provided for in this Section 8 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity.

7. TERMINATION. This Agreement shall be subject to termination, by notice given by the Manager to the Company if (a) after the execution and delivery of the Underwriting Agreement and prior to the Closing Date (i) trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited on or by, as the case may be, any of the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange, the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., the Chicago Board of Options Exchange, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange or the Chicago Board of Trade, (ii) trading of any securities of the Company shall have been suspended on any exchange or in any over-the-counter market, (iii) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities in New York shall have been declared by either Federal or New York State authorities or (iv) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or any change in financial markets or any calamity or crises that, in the judgment of the Manager, is material and adverse and (b) in the case of any of the events specified in clauses (a)(i) through (iv), such event, singly or together with any such event, makes it, in the judgment of the Manager, impracticable to market the Offered Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Prospectus.

8. DEFAULTING UNDERWRITERS. If, on the Closing Date, any one or more of the Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase the Offered Securities that it has or they have agreed to purchase hereunder on such date, and the aggregate amount of Offered Securities which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase is not more that one-tenth of the aggregate amount of the Offered Securities to be purchased on such date, the other Underwriters shall be obligated severally in the proportions that the amount of Offered Securities set forth opposite their respective names in this Agreement bears to the aggregate amount of Offered Securities set forth opposite the names of all such non-defaulting Underwriters, or in such other proportions as the Manager may specify, to purchase the Offered Securities which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase on such date; PROVIDED that in no event shall the amount of Offered Securities that any Underwriter has agreed to purchase pursuant to this Agreement be increased pursuant to this
Section 10 by an amount in excess of one-ninth of such amount of Offered

15

Securities without the written consent of such Underwriter. If, on the Closing Date, any Underwriter or Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Offered Securities and the aggregate amount of the Offered Securities with respect to which such default occurs is more than one-tenth of the aggregate amount of Offered Securities to be purchased on such date, and arrangement satisfactory to the Manager and the Company for the purchase of such Offered Securities are not made within 36 hours after default, this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter or the Company. In any such case either the Manager or the Company shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date but in no event for longer than seven days, in order that the required changes, if any, in the Registration Statement and in the Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. Any action taken under this paragraph shall not relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect of any default of such Underwriter under this Agreement.

If this Agreement shall be terminated by the Underwriters, or any of them, because of any failure or refusal on the part of the Company to comply with the terms or to fulfill any of the conditions of this Agreement, or if for any reason the Company shall be unable to perform its obligations under this Agreement, the Company will reimburse the Underwriters or such Underwriters as have so terminated this Agreement with respect to themselves, severally, for all out-of-pocket expenses (including the fees and disbursements of their counsel) reasonably incurred by such Underwriter in connection with this Agreement or the offering of the Offered Securities.

9. REPRESENTATIONS AND INDEMNITIES TO SURVIVE. The respective indemnity and contribution agreements and the representations, warranties and other statements of the Company, its officers and the Underwriters set forth in this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any termination of this Agreement, any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or the Company or any of the officers, directors or controlling persons referred to in Section 8 and delivery of and payment for the Offered Securities.

10. SUCCESSORS. This Agreement will enure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and the officers, directors and controlling persons referred to in Section 8, and no other person will have any right or obligation hereunder.

11. COUNTERPARTS. The Underwriting Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument.

16

12. APPLICABLE LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York.

13. HEADINGS. The headings of the sections of this Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference only and shall not be deemed a part of this Agreement.

(c) any date on which the principal of the Securities of the series is payable;

(d) the rate or rates at which the Securities of the series shall bear interest, if any, the date or dates from which such interest shall accrue, on which such interest shall be payable and on which a record shall be taken for the determination of Holders to whom interest is payable and/or the method by which such rate or rates or date or dates shall be determined;

(e) the place or places where the principal of, premium, if any, and any interest on Securities of the series shall be payable (if other than as provided in Section 5.02);

All securities of any one series need not be issued at the same time and may be issued from time to time, consistent with the terms of this Indenture, if so provided by or pursuant to such Board Resolution, such Officers' Certificate or any such indenture supplemental hereto.

SECTION 2.04 The Company may deliver Securities of any series executed by the Company to the Trustee for authentication together with the applicable documents referred to below in this Section, and the Trustee shall thereupon authenticate and deliver such Securities to or upon the order of the Company (contained in the Company Order referred to below in this Section) or pursuant to such procedures acceptable to the Trustee and to such recipients as may be specified from time to time by a Company Order. The maturity date, original issue date, interest rate and any other terms of the Securities of such series shall be determined by or pursuant to such Company Order and procedures. If provided for in such procedures, such Company Order may authorize authentication and delivery pursuant to oral instructions from the


9

Company or its duly authorized agent, which instructions shall be promptly confirmed in writing. In authenticating such Securities and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Securities the Trustee shall receive, and (subject to Section 8.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon:

(a) a Company Order requesting such authentication and setting forth delivery instructions if the Securities are not to be delivered to the Company;

(b) any Board Resolution, Officers' Certificate and/or executed supplemental indenture referred to in Sections 2.01 and 2.03 by or pursuant to which the forms and terms of such Securities were established;

(c) an Officers' Certificate setting forth the form or forms and terms of the Securities stating that the form or forms and terms of the Securities have been established pursuant to Section 2.01 and 2.03 and comply with this Indenture, and covering such other matters as the Trustee may reasonably request; and

(d) At the option of the Company, either an Opinion of Counsel, or a letter addressed to the Trustee permitting it to rely on an Opinion of Counsel, substantially to the effect that:

(i) the forms of the Securities have been duly authorized and established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture;

(ii) certain terms of the Securities have been established pursuant to a Board Resolution, an Officer's Certificate or a supplemental indenture in accordance with this Indenture, and when such other terms as are to be established pursuant to procedures set forth in a Company Order shall have been established, all such terms will have been duly authorized by the Company and will have been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture;

(iii) when the Securities have been executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture and delivered to and duly paid for by the purchasers thereof, they will have been duly issued under this Indenture and will be valid and legally binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, and will be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture; and

(iv) the execution and delivery by the Company of, and the performance by the Company of its obligations under, the Securities will not contravene any provision of applicable law or the certificate of incorporation or by-laws of the Company or any agreement or other instrument binding upon the Company that is material to the Company, or, to the best of such counsel's knowledge, any judgment, order or decree of any governmental body, agency or court having jurisdiction over the Company, and no consent, approval or authorization of any governmental body or agency is required for the performance by the Company of its obligations under the Securities, except such as are specified and have been obtained and such as may be required by the securities or blue sky laws of the various states in connection with the offer and sale of the Securities.


10

In rendering such opinions, such counsel may qualify any opinions as to enforceability by stating that such enforceabilty may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, liquidation, moratorium and other similar laws affecting the rights and remedies of creditors and is subject to general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). Such counsel may rely, as to all matters governed by the laws of jurisdictions other than the State of New York and the federal law of the United States, upon opinions of other counsel (copies of which shall be delivered to the Trustee), who shall be counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, in which case the opinion shall state that such counsel believes he and the Trustee are entitled so to rely. Such counsel may also state that, insofar as such opinion involves factual matters, he has relied, to the extent he deems proper, upon certificates of officers of the Company and its subsidiaries and certificates of public officials.

The Trustee shall have the right to decline to authenticate and deliver any Securities under this Section if the Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines that such action may not lawfully be taken by the Company or if the Trustee in good faith by its board of directors or board of trustees, executive committee, or a trust committee of directors or trustees or responsible officers shall determine that such action would expose the Trustee to personal liability to existing Holders or would affect the Trustee's own rights, duties or immunities under the Securities, this Indenture or otherwise.

If the Company shall establish pursuant to Section 2.03 that the Securities of a series are to be issued in the form of one or more Global Securities, then the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall, in accordance with this Section and the Company Order with respect to such series, authenticate and deliver one or more Global Securities that (a) shall represent and shall be denominated in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of all of the Securities of such series issued and not yet cancelled, (b) shall be registered in the name of the Depositary for such Global Security or Securities or the nominee of such Depositary, (c) shall be delivered by the Trustee to such Depositary or pursuant to such Depositary's instruction and (d) shall bear a legend substantially to the following effect: "This Security may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary or by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary or a successor of the Depositary or a nominee of such successor."

Each Depositary designated pursuant to Section 2.03 must, at the time of its designation and at all times while it serves as Depositary, be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and any other applicable statute or regulation.

SECTION 2.05 The Securities shall be signed on behalf of the Company by the chairman of its Board of Directors or any vice chairman of its Board of Directors or its president or any vice president or its secretary or treasurer, under its corporate seal which may, but need not, be attested. Such signatures may be the manual or facsimile signatures of the present or any future such officers. The seal of the Company may be in the form of a facsimile thereof and may be impressed, affixed, imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the Securities. Typographical and other minor errors or defects in any such reproduction of the seal or any such signature shall not affect the


11

validity or enforceability of any Security that has been duly authenticated and delivered by the Trustee.

In case any officer of the Company who shall have signed any of the Securities shall cease to be such officer before the Security so signed shall be authenticated and delivered by the Trustee or disposed of by the Company, such Security nevertheless may be authenticated and delivered or disposed of as though the person who signed such Security had not ceased to be such officer of the Company; and any Security may be signed on behalf of the Company by such persons as, at the actual date of the execution of such Security, shall be the proper officers of the Company, although at the date of the execution and delivery of this Indenture any such person was not such an officer.

SECTION 2.06 Only such Securities as shall bear thereon a certificate of authentication substantially in the form set forth in Section 2.02 hereof, executed by the Trustee by the manual signature of one of its authorized representatives, shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose. The execution of such certificate by the Trustee upon any Security executed by the Company shall be conclusive evidence that the Security so authenticated has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and that the Holder is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.

SECTION 2.07 The Securities of each series shall be issuable in denominations established as contemplated by Section 2.03 or, if not so established, in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. The Securities of each series shall be numbered, lettered or otherwise distinguished in such manner or in accordance with such plan as the officers of the Company executing the same may determine with the approval of the Trustee, as evidenced by the execution and authentication thereof.

Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication.

The person in whose name any Security of any series is registered at the close of business on any record date applicable to a particular series with respect to any interest payment date for such series shall be entitled to receive the interest, if any, payable on such interest payment date notwithstanding any transfer or exchange of such Security subsequent to the record date and prior to such interest payment date, except if and to the extent the Company shall default in the payment of the interest due on such interest payment date for such series, in which case such defaulted interest shall be paid to the persons in whose names Outstanding Securities for such series are registered at the close of business on a subsequent record date (which shall be not less than five Business Days prior to the date of payment of such defaulted interest) established by notice given by mail by or on behalf of the Company to the Holders of Securities not less than fifteen days preceding such subsequent record date. The term "record date" as used with respect to any interest payment date (except a date for payment of defaulted interest) for the Securities of any series shall mean the date specified as such in the terms of the Securities of such series established as contem-


12

plated by Section 2.03, or, if no such date is so established, the date fifteen calendar days prior to an interest payment date (whether or not a Business Day).

SECTION 2.08 The Company will keep at each office or agency to be maintained for the purpose as provided in Section 5.02 for each series of Securities a register or registers in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, it will provide for the registration of Securities of such series and the registration of transfer of Securities of such series. At all reasonable times such register or registers shall be open for inspection by the Trustee.

Upon due presentation for registration of transfer of any Security of any series at any such office or agency to be maintained for the purpose as provided in Section 5.02, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in the name of the transferee or transferees a new Security or Securities of the same series, maturity date, interest rate and original issue date and other terms in authorized denominations for a like aggregate principal amount.

At the option of the Holder thereof, Securities of any series (except a Global Security) may be exchanged for a Security or Securities of such series having authorized denominations and an equal aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of such Securities to be exchanged at the agency of the Company that shall be maintained for such purpose in accordance with Section 5.02 and upon payment, if the Company shall so require, of the charges hereinafter provided. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. All Securities surrendered upon any exchange or registration of transfer provided for in this Indenture shall be promptly cancelled and disposed of by the Trustee and the Trustee will deliver a certificate of disposition thereof to the Company.

All Securities presented for registration of transfer, exchange, redemption or payment shall (if so required by the Company or the Trustee) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder or his attorney duly authorized in writing.

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 exchange or registration of transfer of Securities. No service charge shall be made for any such transaction.

The Company shall not be required to exchange or register a transfer of (a) any Securities of any series for a period of fifteen days next preceding the first mailing of notice of redemption of Securities of such series to be redeemed or (b) any Securities selected, called or being called for redemption, in whole or in part, except, in the case of any Security to be redeemed in part, the portion thereof not so to be redeemed.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.08, unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for Securities in definitive registered form, a Global

Security representing all or a portion of the Securities of a series may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary for such series to a nominee of such Depositary or by a nominee of such Depositary to such Depositary or another nominee of such Depositary or by such Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary for such series or a nominee of such successor Depositary.

If at any time the Depositary for any Securities of a series represented by one or more Global Securities notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Securities or if at any time the Depositary for such Securities shall no longer be eligible under Section 2.04, the Company shall appoint a successor Depositary with respect to such Securities. If a successor Depositary for such Securities is not appointed by the Company within ninety days after the Company receives such notice or becomes aware of such ineligibility, the Company's election pursuant to Section 2.03 that such Securities be represented by one or more Global Securities shall no longer be effective and the Company will execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Officers' Certificate for the authentication and delivery of definitive Securities of such series, will authenticate and deliver, Securities of such series in definitive registered form, in any authorized denominations, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security or Securities representing such Securities in exchange for such Global Security or Securities.

The Company may at any time and in its sole discretion determine that the Securities of any series issued in the form of one or more Global Securities shall no longer be represented by a Global Security or Securities. In such event the Company will execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Officers' Certificate for the authentication and delivery of definitive Securities of such series, will authenticate and deliver, Securities of such series in definitive registered form, in any authorized denominations, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security or Securities representing such Securities, in exchange for such Global Security or Securities.

If specified by the Company pursuant to Section 2.03 with respect to Securities represented by a Global Security, the Depositary for such Global Security may surrender such Global Security in exchange in whole or in part for Securities of the same series in definitive registered form on such terms as are acceptable to the Company and such Depositary. Thereupon, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, without service charge,

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

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


14

Upon the exchange of a Global Security for Securities in definitive registered form, in authorized denominations, such Global Security shall be cancelled by the Trustee. Securities in definitive registered form issued in exchange for a Global Security pursuant to this Section 2.08 shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depositary for such Global Security, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee. The Trustee shall deliver such Securities to or as directed by the Persons in whose names such Securities are so registered.

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

SECTION 2.09 In case any temporary or definitive Security shall become mutilated, defaced or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company in its discretion may execute, and upon the written request of any officer of the Company, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver a new Security of the same series, maturity date, interest rate and original issue date, bearing a number or other distinguishing symbol not contemporaneously outstanding, in exchange and substitution for the mutilated or defaced Security, or in lieu of and in substitution for the Security so destroyed, lost or stolen. In every case the applicant for a substitute Security shall furnish to the Company and to the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to indemnify and defend and to save each of them harmless and, in every case of destruction, loss or theft, evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of such Security and of the ownership thereof and in the case of mutilation or defacement shall surrender the Security to the Trustee or such agent.

Upon the issuance of any substitute Security, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith. In case any Security which has matured or is about to mature or has been called for redemption in full shall become mutilated or defaced or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company may instead of issuing a substitute Security, pay or authorize the payment of the same (without surrender thereof except in the case of a mutilated or defaced Security), if the applicant for such payment shall furnish to the Company and to the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee such security or indemnity as any of them may require to save each of them harmless, and, in every case of destruction, loss or theft, the applicant shall also furnish to the Company and the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of such Security and of the ownership thereof.

Every substitute Security of any series issued pursuant to the provisions of this Section by virtue of the fact that any such Security is destroyed, lost or stolen shall constitute an additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone and shall be entitled to all the benefits of (but shall be subject to all the limitations of rights set


15

forth in) this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities of such series duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. All Securities shall be held and owned upon the express condition that, to the extent permitted by law, the foregoing provisions are exclusive with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, defaced or destroyed, lost or stolen Securities and shall preclude any and all other rights or remedies notwithstanding any law or statute existing or hereafter enacted to the contrary with respect to the replacement or payment of negotiable instruments or other securities without their surrender.

SECTION 2.10 All Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange, or for credit against any payment in respect of a sinking or analogous fund, if surrendered to the Company or any agent of the Company or the Trustee, shall be delivered to the Trustee for cancellation or, if surrendered to the Trustee, shall be cancelled by it; and no Securities shall be issued in lieu thereof except as expressly permitted by any of the provisions of this Indenture. The Trustee shall dispose of cancelled Securities held by it and deliver a certificate of disposition to the Company. If the Company shall acquire any of the Securities, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Securities unless and until the same are delivered to the Trustee or its agent for cancellation.

SECTION 2.11 Pending the preparation of definitive Securities for any series, the Company may execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver temporary Securities for such series (printed, lithographed, typewritten or otherwise reproduced, in each case in form satisfactory to the Trustee). Temporary Securities of any series shall be issuable as Securities of any authorized denomination, and substantially in the form of the definitive Securities of such series but with such omissions, insertions and variations as may be appropriate for temporary Securities, all as may be determined by the Company with the concurrence of the Trustee as evidenced by the execution and authentication thereof. Temporary Securities may contain such references to any provisions of this Indenture as may be appropriate. Every temporary Security shall be executed by the Company and be authenticated by the Trustee upon the same conditions and in substantially the same manner, and with like effect, as the definitive Securities. Without unreasonable delay the Company shall execute and shall furnish definitive Securities of such series and thereupon temporary Securities of such series may be surrendered in exchange therefor without charge at each office or agent to be maintained by the Company for that purpose pursuant to Section 5.02 and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange for such temporary Securities of such series an equal aggregate principal amount of definitive Securities of the same series having authorized denominations. Until so exchanged, the temporary Securities of any series shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities of such series, unless otherwise established pursuant to Section 2.03.

ARTICLE THREE

REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES AND SINKING FUNDS

SECTION 3.01 The provisions of this Article shall be applicable to the Securities of any series which are redeemable before their maturity or to any sinking fund for the retirement of Securities of a series except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.03 for Securities of such series.

SECTION 3.02 Notice of redemption to the Holders of Securities of any series to be redeemed as a whole or in part at the option of the Company shall be given by mailing notice of such redemption by first class mail, postage prepaid, at least thirty days and not more than sixty days prior to the date fixed for redemption to such Holders of Securities of such series at their last addresses as they shall appear upon the Security Register. Any notice which is mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Holder receives the notice. Failure to give notice by mail, or any defect in the notice, to the Holder of any Security of a series designated for redemption as a whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Security of such series.

The notice of redemption to each such Holder shall specify the principal amount of each Security of such series held by such Holder to be redeemed, the date fixed for redemption, the redemption price, the place or places of payment, that payment will be made upon presentation and surrender of such Securities, that such redemption is pursuant to the mandatory or optional sinking fund, or both, if such be the case, that interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption will be paid as specified in such notice and that on and after said date interest thereon or on the portions thereof to be redeemed will cease to accrue. In case any Security of a series is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed and shall state that on and after the date fixed for redemption, upon surrender of such Security, a new Security or Securities of such series in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued.

The notice of redemption of Securities of any series to be redeemed at the option of the Company shall be given by the Company or, at the Company's request, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company.

On or before the redemption date specified in the notice of redemption given as provided in this Section, the Company will deposit with the Trustee or with one or more paying agents (or, if the Company is acting as its own paying agent, set aside, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 5.08) an amount of money sufficient to redeem on the date fixed for redemption all the Securities of such series so called for redemption at the appropriate redemption price, together with accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption. If less than all the Outstanding Securities of a series are to be redeemed at the election of the Company, the Company will deliver to the Trustee at least sixty days prior to the date fixed for redemption an Officers' Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Securities to be redeemed. In case of a redemption at the election of the Company prior to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee, prior to the giving of any notice


17

of redemption to Holders pursuant to this Section, an Officers' Certificate stating that such restriction has been complied with.

If less than all the Securities of a series are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select, in such manner as it shall deem appropriate and fair, Securities of such series to be redeemed in whole or in part. Securities may be redeemed in part in multiples equal to the minimum authorized denomination for Securities of such series or any multiple thereof. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the Securities of such series selected for redemption and, in the case of any Securities of such series selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. For all purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Securities of any series shall relate, in the case of any Security redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal amount of such Security which has been or is to be redeemed.

SECTION 3.03 If notice of redemption has been given as above provided, the Securities or portions of Securities specified in such notice shall become due and payable on the date and at the place stated in such notice at the applicable redemption price, together with interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption, and on and after said date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of such Securities at the redemption price, together with interest accrued to said date) interest on the Securities or portions of Securities so called for redemption shall cease to accrue, and, except as provided in Section 4.03, such Securities shall cease from and after the date fixed for redemption to be entitled to any benefit or security under this Indenture, and the Holders thereof shall have no right in respect of such Securities except the right to receive the redemption price thereof and unpaid interest to the date fixed for redemption. On presentation and surrender of such Securities at a place of payment specified in said notice, said Securities or the specified portions thereof shall be paid and redeemed by the Company at the applicable redemption price, together with interest accrued thereon to the date fixed for redemption; provided that payment of interest becoming due on or prior to the date fixed for redemption shall be payable to the Holders of such Securities registered as such on the relevant record date subject to the terms and provisions of Section 2.03 and 2.07 hereof.

If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal shall, until paid or duly provided for, bear interest from the date fixed for redemption at the rate of interest thereafter borne from time to time by such Security.

Upon presentation of any Security redeemed in part only, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to or on the order of the Holder thereof, at the expense of the Company, a new Security or Securities of such series, of authorized denominations, in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Security so presented.

SECTION 3.04 Securities shall be excluded from eligibility for selection for redemption if they are identified by registration and certificate number in an Officers' Certificate delivered to the Trustee at least forty days prior to the last date on which


18

notice of redemption may be given as being owned of record and beneficially by, and not pledged or hypothecated by, either (a) the Company or (b) an entity specifically identified in such written statement as directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company.

SECTION 3.05 The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the terms of the Securities of any series is herein referred to as a "mandatory sinking fund payment", and any payment in excess of such minimum amount provided for by the terms of the Securities of any series is herein referred to as an "optional sinking fund payment". The date on which a sinking fund payment is to be made is herein referred to as the "sinking fund payment date".

In lieu of making all or any part of any mandatory sinking fund payment with respect to any series of Securities in cash, the Company may at its option
(a) deliver to the Trustee Securities of such series theretofore purchased or otherwise acquired (except upon redemption pursuant to the mandatory sinking fund) by the Company or receive credit for Securities of such series (not previously so credited) theretofore purchased or otherwise acquired (except as aforesaid) by the Company and delivered to the Trustee for cancellation pursuant to Section 2.10, (b) receive credit for optional sinking fund payments (not previously so credited) made pursuant to this Section, or (c) receive credit for Securities of such series (not previously so credited) redeemed by the Company through any optional redemption provision contained in the terms of such series or this Indenture. Securities so delivered or credited shall be received or credited by the Trustee at the sinking fund redemption price specified in such Securities.

On or before the sixtieth day next preceding each sinking fund payment date for any series, the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate (which need not contain the statements required by Section 13.06) (a) specifying the portion of the mandatory sinking fund payment to be satisfied by payment of cash and the portion to be satisfied by credit of Securities of such series and the basis for such credit, (b) stating that none of the Securities of such series has theretofore been so credited, (c) stating that no defaults in the payment of interest or Events of Default with respect to such series have occurred (which have not been waived or cured) and are continuing and (d) stating whether or not the Company intends to exercise its right to make an optional sinking fund payment with respect to such series and, if so, specifying the amount of such optional sinking fund payment which the Company intends to pay on or before the next succeeding sinking fund payment date. Any Securities of such series to be credited and required to be delivered to the Trustee in order for the Company to be entitled to credit therefor as aforesaid which have not theretofore been delivered to the Trustee shall be delivered for cancellation pursuant to Section 2.10 to the Trustee with such Officers' Certificate (or reasonably promptly thereafter if acceptable to the Trustee). Such Officers' Certificate shall be irrevocable and upon its receipt by the Trustee the Company shall become unconditionally obligated to make all the cash payments or payments therein referred to, if any, on or before the next succeeding sinking fund payment date. Failure of the Company, on or before any such sixtieth day, to deliver such Officers' Certificate and Securities specified in this paragraph, if any,


19

shall not constitute a default but shall constitute, on and as of such date, the irrevocable election of the Company (a) that the mandatory sinking fund payment for such series due on the next succeeding sinking fund payment date shall be paid entirely in cash without the option to deliver or credit Securities of such series in respect thereof and (b) that the Company will make no optional sinking fund payment with respect to such series as provided in this Section.

If the sinking fund payment or payments (mandatory or optional or both) to be made in cash on the next succeeding sinking fund payment date plus any unused balance of any preceding sinking fund payments made in cash shall exceed $50,000 with respect to the Securities of any particular series, such cash shall be applied on the next succeeding sinking fund payment date to the redemption of Securities of such series at the sinking fund redemption price together with accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption. If such amount shall be $50,000 or less and the Company makes no such request, then it shall be carried over until a sum in excess of $50,000 is available. The Trustee shall select, in the manner provided in Section 3.02, for redemption on such sinking fund payment date a sufficient principal amount of Securities of such series to absorb said cash, as nearly as may be, and shall (if requested in writing by the Company) inform the Company of the serial numbers of the Securities of such series (or portions thereof) so selected.

Securities shall be excluded from eligibility for redemption under this
Section if they are identified by registration and certificate number in an Officers' Certificate delivered to the Trustee at least sixty days prior to the sinking fund payment date as being owned of record and beneficially by, and not pledged or hypothecated by, either (a) the Company or (b) an entity specifically identified in such Officers' Certificate as directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company.

The Trustee, in the name and at the expense of the Company (or the Company, if it shall so request the Trustee in writing), shall cause notice of redemption of the Securities of such series to be given in substantially the manner provided in Section 3.02 (and with the effect provided in Section 3.03) for the redemption of Securities of such series in part at the option of the Company. The amount of any sinking fund payments not so applied or allocated to the redemption of Securities of such series shall be added to the next cash sinking fund payment for such series and, together with such payment, shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of this Section. Any and all sinking fund moneys held on the stated maturity date of the Securities of any particular series (or earlier, if such maturity is accelerated), which are not held for the payment or redemption of particular Securities of such series shall be applied, together with other moneys, if necessary, sufficient for the purpose, to the payment of the principal of and interest on, the Securities of such series at maturity.

On or before each sinking fund payment date, the Company shall pay to the Trustee in cash or shall otherwise provide for the payment of all principal and interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption on Securities to be redeemed on such sinking fund payment date.


20

The Trustee shall not redeem or cause to be redeemed any Securities of a series with sinking fund moneys or mail any notice or redemption of Securities for such series by operation of the sinking fund during the continuance of a default in payment of interest on such Securities or of any Event of Default except that, where the mailing of notice of redemption of any Securities shall theretofore have been made, the Trustee shall redeem or cause to be redeemed such Securities, provided that it shall have received from the Company a sum sufficient for such redemption. Except as aforesaid, any moneys in the sinking fund for such series at the time when any such default or Event of Default shall occur, and any moneys thereafter paid into the sinking fund, shall, during the continuance of such default or Event of Default, be deemed to have been collected under Article Seven and held for the payment of all such Securities. In case such Event of Default shall have been waived as provided in Section 7.01 or 7.06 or the default cured on or before the sixtieth day preceding the sinking fund payment date in any year, such moneys shall thereafter be applied on the next succeeding sinking fund payment date in accordance with this Section to the redemption of such Securities.

ARTICLE FOUR

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE;
DEPOSITED MONEYS AND GOVERNMENT OBLIGATIONS

SECTION 4.01. The Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness of and on the Securities of any series Outstanding hereunder and the provisions of this Indenture with respect to such series (subject to
Section 4.03), if:

(a) The Company irrevocably deposits in trust with the Trustee, pursuant to an irrevocable trust agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, money or direct non-callable obligations of, or non-callable obligations guaranteed by, the United States of America for the payment of which obligation or guarantee the full faith and credit of the United States of America is pledged ("Government Obligations"), or a combination of money and Government Obligations, maturing as to principal and interest in such amounts and at such times as are sufficient, without consideration of the reinvestment of such interest and after payment of all Federal, state and local taxes or other charges or assessments in respect thereof payable by the Trustee, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, to pay the principal of and the interest on the Outstanding Securities of such series on the dates on which any such payments are due and payable in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and such Securities (or, in the event such Securities are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company, to pay such principal and interest until the date fixed for redemption, in which case the funds deposited in trust shall also be sufficient to pay any premium due upon redemption);

(b) Such deposits shall not cause the Trustee to have a conflicting interest as defined in and for purposes of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939;


21

(c) No Event of Default with respect to such series shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit or shall occur on or before the 91st day after the date of such deposit;

(d) Such deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, this Indenture or any other instrument to which the Company is a party or by which it or its property is bound;

(e) The Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating (i) that the Holders of the Outstanding Securities of such series will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit and discharge and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such deposit and discharge had not occurred, and (ii) that after the passage of ninety days (or such other period of time as then required by the non-insider preference provisions of any applicable federal bankruptcy laws) following the deposit, and provided that neither the Trustee nor the Holders are "insiders" as defined in Title 11 of the United States Code, the trust funds will not be subject to recovery under Section 547(b) of Title 11 of the United States Code, and
(iii) that there would not occur any violation of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, on the part of the Company or the Trustee as a result of such deposit and the related exercise of the Company's rights under this Section 4.01;

(f) The Holders of the Securities of such series shall have a first priority perfected security interest under applicable state law in the money or Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 4.01(a) above; and

(g) The Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent specified herein relating to the defeasance of the Securities of such series contemplated by this Section 4.01 (other than the priority of the security interest referred to in Section 4.01(f) above) have been complied with.

In the event all or any portion of the Securities of a series are to be redeemed through such irrevocable trust, the Company must make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee, at the time of such deposit, for the giving of the notice of such redemption or redemptions by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company.

SECTION 4.02. In addition to rights of the Company under Section 4.01, this Indenture shall cease to be of further effect with respect to the Securities of any series Outstanding hereunder (except as to any surviving rights of registration of transfer or exchange of such Securities herein expressly provided for), and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, when:

(a) all Securities of such series theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than (i) Securities which have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 2.09 and
(ii) Securities for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Company and thereafter repaid to the Company or discharged


22

from such trust, as provided in Section 5.08) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation;

(b) the Company has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable hereunder by the Company with respect to such series; and

(c) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officer's Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that the conditions precedent herein provided for relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to such series have been complied with. Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to such series, the obligations of the Company to the Trustee under
Section 8.06 with respect to such series shall survive.

SECTION 4.03. Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to the Securities of any series Outstanding hereunder, the respective obligations of the Company and the Trustee under Sections 2.04, 2.05, 2.08, 2.09, 4.04, 4.05, 4.06, 5.01, 5.02, 7.01(a), 7.01(b), 7.01(d),
7.01(e) (however, as to Section 7.01(d) and 7.01(e) the provisions of such sections shall remain in effect for a period of ninety days commencing from the date of the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture and the Securities), and 8.01, 8.05, 8.06, 8.10, and 8.11 shall survive until the Securities of such series are no longer Outstanding. Thereafter, the obligations of the Company and the Trustee under Sections 4.04, 4.05, 4.06, 8.05, and 8.06, shall survive with respect to such series.

SECTION 4.04. Subject to the provisions of Section 5.08, all money or Government Obligations deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Sections 4.01 and 4.02 shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Securities of the applicable series, this Indenture and, in the case of
Section 4.01, such irrevocable trust agreement, to the payment, either directly or through any paying agent (including the Company acting as its own paying agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the persons entitled thereto, of the principal, premium, if any, and interest for whose payment such money has been deposited with the Trustee. The money or Government Obligations so held in trust under Section 4.01 shall not be part of the trust estate under this Indenture but shall constitute a separate trust fund for the benefit of all Holders of Securities of the particular series entitled thereto.

SECTION 4.05. Upon termination of the trust established pursuant to
Section 4.01 or 4.02, the Trustee and the paying agent shall promptly pay to the Company upon request any excess money held by them. The Trustee and the paying agent shall pay to the Company upon request and, if applicable, in accordance with the irrevocable trust established pursuant to Section 4.01 any money or Government Obligations held by them for the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any particular series of Securities that remains unclaimed for two years; provided, however, that the Trustee or such paying agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be published once, in a newspaper of general circulation in the Borough of Manhattan, the City and State of New York, or mail to the Holder of any such Security, or both, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which date shall not be less than thirty days


23

from the date of such publication or mailing, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company. After payment to the Company, Security Holders entitled to such payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest must look to the Company for payment as general creditors unless an applicable abandoned property law designates another person.

SECTION 4.06. If the Trustee or any paying agent is unable to apply any money or Government Obligations in accordance with Section 4.04 by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, or by reason of Government Obligations not paying principal and interest in such amounts and at such times as are sufficient to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Securities of the particular series in accordance with the terms of this Indenture, the Company's obligations under this Indenture with respect to such series and such Securities shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Sections 4.01 and 4.02 until such time as the Trustee or any paying agent is permitted to apply all such money or Government Obligations in accordance with Section 4.04; provided, however, that if the Company has made any payment of interest (and premium, if any) on, or principal of, such series of Securities because of the reinstatement of its obligations hereunder, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such series of Securities to receive such payment from the money or Government Obligations held by the Trustee or such paying agent for such purpose.

ARTICLE FIVE

PARTICULAR COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY

The Company covenants and agrees as follows:

SECTION 5.01. For the benefit of each series of Securities, the Company will duly and punctually pay, or cause to be paid, the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on each and every Security of such series (together with any additional amounts payable pursuant to the terms of such Securities) at the respective times and places and in the manner mentioned in such Securities and in this Indenture. The interest upon Global Securities shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Depositary for such Global Securities. The interest on Securities in definitive registered form, other than interest payable at maturity (or on the date of redemption if the Security is redeemed by the Company prior to maturity), will be paid by check mailed to the address of the person entitled thereto as shown on the Security Register. Payments of principal and interest at maturity or upon redemption will be made in immediately available funds against presentation and surrender of the Security. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Holder of $10,000,000 or more in aggregate principal amount of Securities in definitive registered form having the same interest payment dates shall be entitled to receive payments of interest by wire transfer of immediately available funds upon written request to the Trustee or the paying agent as


24

provided in the form of Security. When and as paid, all Securities shall be cancelled by the Trustee in the manner provided in Section 2.10.

SECTION 5.02. In the event Securities are issued in definitive registered form, at all times until the payment of the principal of such Securities, the Company will maintain an office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, the City and State of New York, where such Securities may be presented for transfer and exchange as in this Indenture provided, and where such Securities may be presented for payment, and where notices or demands in respect of such Securities or of this Indenture may be served. In case the Company shall at any time not maintain such office or agency, or shall fail to give notice to the Trustee of any change in the location thereof, presentation and demand may be made and notice may be served, in respect of the Securities or of this Indenture, at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee.

In addition to such office or agency, the Company may from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Securities may be presented for any or all of the purposes specified above in this Section and may constitute and appoint one or more paying agents for the payment of such Securities in one or more other cities, and may from time to time rescind such designations and appointments, as the Company may deem desirable or expedient; provided, however, that no such designation, appointment or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain such office and agency in the said Borough of Manhattan, when and for the purposes above mentioned.

Subject to the provisions of Section 8.01, the Trustee shall not be liable or responsible for the application of any funds transmitted to or held by any paying agent (other than itself) for the purpose of paying Securities; and in the event that funds so transmitted to or held by any such paying agent for such purpose shall not be applied to such purpose, the Company covenants and agrees to furnish the Trustee or a paying agent with funds to be applied to the payment of Securities equal to such funds not so applied by such other paying agent.

SECTION 5.03. The Company will not, directly or indirectly, extend or assent to the extension of the time for the payment of any claim for interest on any of the Securities, and will not, directly or indirectly, be a party to or approve of any such arrangement in any manner; provided, however, that this
Section 5.03 shall not apply in any case where an extension shall be pursuant to a plan proposed by the Company to the Holders of all the Securities of a series then Outstanding.

SECTION 5.04. The Company covenants and warrants that it is duly authorized under the laws of the State of Delaware, and under all other applicable provisions of law, to create and issue the Securities evidencing its indebtedness and to execute this Indenture, that all corporate action on its part for the creation and issue of the Securities and the execution of this Indenture has been duly and effectively taken, and that the Securities, when issued, will be valid and binding obligations of the Company and entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.

SECTION 5.05. So long as any of the Securities shall be outstanding, the Company will insure and keep insured, and will cause each Restricted Subsidiary to


25

insure and keep insured, with reputable insurance companies, so much of their respective properties, to such an extent and against such risks (including fire), as companies engaged in similar businesses customarily insure properties of a similar character; or, in lieu thereof, in the case of itself or of any one or more of its Restricted Subsidiaries, the Company will maintain or cause to be maintained a system or systems of self-insurance which will accord with the approved practices of companies owning or operating properties of a similar character and maintaining such systems, and, in such cases of self-insurance, will cause to be maintained an insurance reserve or reserves in adequate amounts.

SECTION 5.06. So long as any of the Securities shall be outstanding, the Company will, and will cause each Restricted Subsidiary to,

(a) promptly pay and discharge or cause to be paid and discharged all taxes, assessments and governmental charges or levies lawfully imposed upon it or upon its income or profits or upon any of its property, real or personal, or upon any part thereof, as well as all claims for labor, materials and supplies which, if unpaid, might by law become a lien or charge upon its property; provided, however, that neither the Company nor any Restricted Subsidiary shall be required to pay any such tax, assessment, charge, levy or claim if the validity thereof shall currently be contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and if the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, shall have set aside on its books reserves deemed by it adequate with respect thereto; and provided further that the Company shall not be obligated hereunder to pay or cause to be paid any such taxes, assessments or charges, if, in the opinion of the Board of Directors, payment of the same shall be no longer advantageous to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary in the conduct of its business; and

(b) maintain and keep its properties and every part thereof in good repair, working order and condition, and make or cause to be made all such needful and proper repairs, renewals and replacements thereto, as in the judgment of the Company are necessary in the interests of the Company; provided, however, that nothing in this subdivision (b) shall prevent the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, from time to time, from selling, abandoning or otherwise disposing of any of their respective properties or discontinuing a part of their respective business if such sale, abandonment, disposition or discontinuance is, in the judgment of the Company, advisable.

SECTION 5.07. The Company, whenever necessary to avoid or fill a vacancy in the office of Trustee, will appoint, in the manner provided in Section 8.10, a Trustee, so that there shall at all times be a Trustee with respect to each series of Securities hereunder and, whenever necessary to avoid or fill a vacancy in the position of any paying, calculation, transfer or other agent with respect to any series of Securities, will appoint a successor agent.

SECTION 5.08. (a) If the Company shall appoint a paying agent other than the Trustee with respect to any series of Securities, it will cause such paying agent to


26

execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section 5.08,

(i) that it will hold all sums held by it as such agent for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on such Securities (whether such sums have been paid to it by the Company or by any other obligor on such Securities) in trust for the benefit of the Holders of such Securities or of the Trustee, as the case may be,

(ii) that it will give the Trustee notice of any failure by the Company (or by any other obligor on such Securities) to make any payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on such Securities when the same shall be due and payable; and

(iii) that at any time during the continuance of such failure, upon the written request of the Trustee, it will forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by such paying agent.

(b) If the Company shall act as its own paying agent, it will, on or before each due date of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Securities of any series, set aside, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Holders entitled thereto, a sum sufficient to pay such principal, premium, if any, or interest so becoming due until such sums shall be paid to such Holders or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and will promptly notify the Trustee of any failure (by it or any other obligor on such Securities) to take such action.

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

(d) Anything in this Section 5.08 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, or for any other purpose, pay or cause to be paid to the Trustee all sums held in trust by it or any paying agent as required by this Section 5.08, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the trusts herein contained, and upon such payment by any paying agent to the Trustee, such paying agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such sums.

(e) 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, premium, if any, or interest on any Security and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, premium, if any, or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company upon its written request, or if then held by the Company, shall be discharged from such trust; provided, however, that the Trustee or such paying agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be published


27

once, in a newspaper of general circulation in the Borough of Manhattan, the City and State of New York, or mail to the registered Holder of any such Security, or both, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which date shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such publication or mailing, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company. After payment to the Company, Security Holders entitled to such payment must look to the Company for payment as general creditors unless an applicable abandoned property law designates another person, and thereupon 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 cease.

(f) Anything in this Section 5.08 to the contrary notwithstanding, the agreement to hold sums in trust as provided in this Section 5.08 is subject to the provisions of Article Four.

SECTION 5.09. So long as any of the Securities shall be outstanding, the Company will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence, rights and franchises; provided that nothing in this Section 5.09 shall prevent (a) any consolidation or merger of the Company, or any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of its property and assets, permitted by Article Twelve, or (b) the liquidation or dissolution of the Company after a sale or transfer of all or substantially all of its property and assets permitted by Article Twelve hereof; and provided further that the Company shall not be required to preserve any right or franchise if the Board of Directors of the Company shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of business of the Company and that the loss thereof is not disadvantageous to the Security Holders in any material respect.

SECTION 5.10. So long as any of the Securities shall be outstanding, the Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, sell or transfer (other than to the Company or a Wholly-owned Restricted Subsidiary) any Principal Property, whether owned at the date of this Indenture or hereafter acquired, which has been in full operation for more than 120 days prior to such sale or transfer, with the intention of entering into a lease of such Principal Property (except for a lease for a term, including any renewal thereof, of not more than three years), if after giving effect thereto the Attributable Debt in respect of all such sale and leaseback transactions involving Principal Properties shall be in excess of five percent (5%) of Consolidated Net Worth.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary may sell any Principal Property and lease it back if the net proceeds of such sale are at least equal to the fair value of such property as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company and within 120 days of such sale (a) the Company redeems (if permitted by the terms of outstanding Securities), at the principal amount thereof (or, in the case of an Original Issue Discount Security, such portion of the principal as may be specified in the terms thereof) together with accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption, such outstanding Securities in an aggregate principal amount equal to such net proceeds, or (b) the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary repays other Funded Debt in an aggregate principal amount equal to such net proceeds, or (c) the Company delivers


28

to the Trustee, for cancellation, outstanding Securities uncancelled and in transferable form, in an aggregate principal amount equal to such net proceeds, or (d) the Company applies such net proceeds to the purchase of properties, facilities or equipment to be used for general operating purposes.

29

(ii) any mortgage or other lien created in connection with the refunding, renewal or extension of any obligations, indebtedness or claims secured by a mortgage or lien mentioned in the foregoing clause
(i) which is limited to the same property; provided that the aggregate amount of the obligations, indebtedness or claims secured by such refunding, renewal or extended mortgage or other lien does not exceed the aggregate amount thereof secured by the mortgage or other lien so refunded, renewed or extended and outstanding at the time of such refunding, renewal or extension; or

The Trustee may (i) destroy any list furnished to it as provided in Section 6.01 upon receipt of a new list so furnished, and (ii) destroy any information received by it as paying agent (if so acting) hereunder upon delivering to itself as Trustee, not earlier than forty-five days after an interest payment date of the Securities, a list containing the names and addresses of the Holders of Securities obtained from such information since the delivery of the next previous list, if any.

(b) In case three or more Holders of Securities (hereinafter referred to as "applicants") apply in writing to the Trustee, and furnish to the Trustee reasonable proof that each applicant has owned a Security for a period of at least six months preceding the date of such application, and such application states that the applicants desire to communicate with other Holders of Securities of a particular series (in which case the applicants must all hold Securities of such series) or with Holders of all Securities with respect to their rights under this Indenture or under such Securities, and is accompanied by a copy of the form of proxy or other communication which such applicants propose to transmit, then the Trustee shall within five Business Days after the receipt of such application, at its election, either

Section 8.06, and any and all defaults under the Indenture, other than the nonpayment of principal on the Securities of such series (or of all of the Securities, as the case may be) then Outstanding which shall not have become due by their terms, shall have been remedied or provision shall have been made therefor to the satisfaction of the Trustee, then and in every such case the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such series, each series voting as a separate class (or of all the Securities, as the case may be, voting as a single class), then Outstanding, by written notice to the Company and to the Trustee, may waive all defaults and rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences; but no such waiver or rescission and annulment shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent default, or shall impair any right consequent thereon.

In case the Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce any right under this Indenture and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned because of such rescission or annulment or for any other reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Trustee, then and in every such case the Company and the Trustee shall be restored respectively to their former positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Company and the Trustee shall continue as though no such proceedings had been taken.

For all purposes under this Indenture, if a portion of the principal of any Original Issue Discount Securities shall have been accelerated and declared due and payable pursuant to the provisions hereof, then, from and after such declaration, unless such


37

declaration has been rescinded and annulled, the principal amount of such Original Issue Discount Securities shall be deemed, for all purposes hereunder, to be such portion of the principal thereof as shall be due and payable as a result of such acceleration, and payment of such portion of the principal thereof as shall be due and payable as a result of such acceleration, together with interest, if any, thereon and all other amounts owing thereunder, shall constitute payment in full of such Original Issue Discount Securities.

SECTION 7.02. The Company covenants that (1) in case default shall be made in the payment of any installment of interest on any of the Securities of any series, as and when the same shall become due and payable, and such default shall have continued for a period of thirty days, or (2) in case default shall be made in the payment of all or any part of the principal of and premium, if any, on any of the Securities of any series when the same shall have become due and payable, whether upon maturity of the Securities of such series or upon redemption or upon declaration as authorized by this Indenture or otherwise, then, upon demand of the Trustee, the Company will pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of the Securities of such series then Outstanding, the whole amount that then shall have become due and payable on all such Securities of such series for principal, premium, if any, or interest as the case may be, with interest upon the overdue principal and premium, if any, and (to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law) upon overdue installments of interest at the rate per annum or Yield to Maturity (in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities) expressed in the Securities of such series; and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, and all amounts payable to the Trustee under Section 8.06. Until such demand is made by the Trustee, the Company may pay the principal and premium, if any, of and interest on the Securities of such series to the Holders of the Securities of such series whether or not the Securities of such series be overdue.

In case the Company shall fail forthwith to pay such amounts upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, shall be entitled and empowered to institute any action or proceedings at law or in equity for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute any such action or proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce any such judgment or final decree against the Company or other obligor upon such Securities and collect in the manner provided and to the extent permitted by law out of the property of the Company or other obligor upon such Securities wherever situated the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable.

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Security Holders of any 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.

The Trustee shall be entitled and empowered, either in its own name or as trustee of an express trust, or as attorney-in-fact for the Holders of the Securities of any series, or in any one or more of such capacities, to file such proof of debt, amendment of proof


38

of debt, claim, petition or other document as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee and of the Holders of the Securities of any series allowed in any receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation, readjustment, reorganization or other judicial proceedings relative to the Company or any other obligor on the Securities of any series or their creditors, or affecting their property. The Trustee is hereby irrevocably appointed (and the successive respective Holders of the Securities of any series by taking and holding the same shall be conclusively deemed to have so appointed the Trustee) the true and lawful attorney-in-fact of the respective Holders of the Securities of any series, with authority to make and file in the respective names of the Holders of the Securities of any series or on behalf of the Holders of the Securities of any series as a class, subject to deduction from any such claims of the amounts of any claims filed by any of the Holders of the Securities of any series themselves, any proof of debt, amendment of proof of debt, claim, petition or other document in any such proceedings and to receive payment of any sums becoming distributable on account thereof, and to execute any such other papers and documents and to do and perform any and all such acts and things for and on behalf of such Holders of the Securities of any series, as may be necessary or advisable in the opinion of the Trustee in order to have the respective claims of the Trustee and of the Holders of the Securities of any series against the Company or its property allowed in any such proceeding, and to receive payment of or on account of such claims; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Indenture shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to, or accept or adopt on behalf of any Security Holder, any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities of any series or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Security Holder of any series in any such proceeding. Any receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such proceeding is hereby authorized by each Security 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 Security Holders of any series, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under
Section 8.06.

All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture, or under any of the Securities of any series, may be enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Securities of such series or the production thereof at any trial or other proceeding relative thereto, and any such suit or proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securities in respect of which such action was taken, subject to the provisions of this Indenture. In any proceedings brought by the Trustee (and also any proceedings in which a declaratory judgment of a court may be sought as to the interpretation or construction of any provision of this Indenture, to which the Trustee shall be a party) the Trustee shall be held to represent all the Holders of the Securities of any series affected thereby, and it shall not be necessary to make any Holders of such Securities parties to any such proceedings.


39

SECTION 7.03. Any moneys collected by the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.02 in respect of any series shall be applied in the order following, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee, upon presentation of the several Securities, and stamping (or otherwise noting) thereon the payment, if any, partially paid, and upon surrender thereof if fully paid:

FIRST: To the payment of costs and expenses of collection applicable to such series, and of all amounts payable to the Trustee under Section 8.06;

SECOND: In case the principal of the Outstanding Securities of such series shall not have become due and be unpaid, to the payment of defaulted interest on the Securities of such series, in the order of the maturity of the installments of such interest, with interest (so far as may be lawful and if such interest has been collected by the Trustee) upon the overdue installments of interest at the rate per annum or Yield to Maturity (in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities) expressed in such Securities, such payments to be made ratably to the persons entitled thereto, without discrimination or preference;

THIRD: In case the principal of the Outstanding Securities of such series shall have become due, by declaration as authorized by this Indenture or otherwise, to the payment of the whole amount then owing and unpaid upon the Securities of such series for principal and interest, with interest on the overdue principal, and (so far as may be lawful and if such interest has been collected by the Trustee) upon overdue installments of interest at the rate per annum or Yield to Maturity (in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities) expressed in the Securities of such series; and in case such moneys shall be insufficient to pay in full the whole amount so due and unpaid upon the Securities of such series; then to the payment of such principal and interest, without preference or priority of principal over interest or of interest over principal, or of any installment of interest over any other installment of interest, or of any Security of such series over any other Security of such series, ratably to the aggregate of such principal and accrued and unpaid interest;

FOURTH: To the payment of the remainder, if any, to the Company, its successors or assigns.

SECTION 7.04. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 7.04, no Holder of any Security of any series shall have any right by virtue or by availing of any provision of this Indenture or otherwise to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Indenture, for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, for the execution of any trust or power hereof, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless such Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee written notice of default and of the continuance thereof, as hereinbefore provided, and unless also the Holders of not less than twenty-five percent (25%) in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of each affected series then Outstanding (treated as a single class) shall have made written request upon the Trustee either to proceed to exercise the power hereinbefore granted or to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee such


40

reasonable indemnity as it may require against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby, and the Trustee within a reasonable time (which in no event shall be less than sixty days) after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity, shall have failed to proceed to exercise such powers or to institute any such action, suit or proceeding, and no direction inconsistent with such written request shall have been given to the Trustee during such reasonable time by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of such Outstanding Securities; it being understood and intended, and being expressly covenanted by the taker and Holder of every Security with every other taker and Holder and the Trustee, that no one or more Holders of Securities of any series shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue or by availing of any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of the Holders of any other of such Securities, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other such Holder, or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided, and that all proceedings in law or in equity shall be instituted, had and maintained in the manner herein provided for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all Holders of Securities of the applicable series. For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of this Section 7.04, each and every Security Holder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.

Nothing herein contained shall, however, affect or impair the right, which is absolute and unconditional, of any Security Holder to receive, and to institute suit to enforce the payment of, the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Holder's Securities at and after the respective due dates (including maturity by call for redemption, declaration pursuant to this Indenture which has not been rescinded pursuant to Section 7.01 or otherwise) of such principal or premium, if any, or interest, or the obligation of the Company, which is also absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on each of the Securities to the respective Holders thereof at the times and places in the Securities expressed.

SECTION 7.05. No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any of the Securities to exercise any right or power accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or power, or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such default or an acquiescence therein; and, subject to the provisions of Section 7.04, every power and remedy given by this Article Seven or by law to the Trustee or to the Security Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient by the Trustee or by the Security Holders.

SECTION 7.06. Subject to the provisions of Sections 8.01 and 8.02, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of each series affected (with all such series voting as a single class) at the time Outstanding 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; provided, however, that such direction shall not be otherwise than in accordance with law and the provisions of this Indenture, expose the Trustee to personal liability or be unduly prejudicial to Holders not joining therein, and the Trustee shall have the right, subject to the provisions of Section 8.01, to decline to


41

follow any such direction if the Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines that the action so directed may not be lawfully taken, or if the Trustee in good faith shall, by a responsible officer or officers of the Trustee, determine that the proceeding so directed would be illegal or involve it in personal liability or be unjustly prejudicial to the Security Holders not joined in any such direction, and provided further that nothing in this Indenture shall impair the right of the Trustee in its discretion to take any action deemed proper by the Trustee and which is not inconsistent with such direction by the Security Holders.

Prior to a declaration that the Securities of any series are due and payable as provided in Section 7.01, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such series at the time Outstanding may, on behalf of the Holders of all of such Securities, waive any past Event of Default described in clause (c) or (g) of Section 7.01 which relates to less than all series of Securities then Outstanding (or if the Event of Default arises under clause (c) or (g) of Section 7.01 and relates to all series of Securities then Outstanding or arises under clauses (d), (e) or (f) of Section 7.01, the Holders of Securities of a majority in principal amount of all the Securities then Outstanding (voting as one class) may waive any such default or Event of Default), and its consequences, except a default in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Security affected. In the case of any such waiver, the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of such Securities shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Upon any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist and be deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, and not to have occurred for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

SECTION 7.07. The Trustee shall, within ninety days after the occurrence of a default with respect to the Securities of any series, give to the Holders of the Securities of such series, in the manner and to the extent provided in subsection (c) of Section 6.04 with respect to reports pursuant to subsection
(a) of said Section 6.04, notice of all defaults with respect to that series known to the Trustee, unless such defaults shall have been cured before the giving of such notice (the term "defaults" for the purposes of this Section 7.07 being hereby defined to be the events specified in clauses (a), (b), (c), (d),
(e), (f) and (g) of Section 7.01, not including any periods of grace provided for therein); provided, that, except in the case of default in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest, if any, on any of the Securities of such series, or in the payment of any sinking or purchase fund installment, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as the board of directors, the executive committee, or a trust committee of directors and/or responsible officers, of the Trustee in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the best interests of the Security Holders of such series.


42

SECTION 7.08. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Security by his acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; provided, that the provisions of this Section 7.08 shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Security Holder, or group of Security Holders, of any series holding in the aggregate more than ten percent (10%) in principal amount of the Securities of such series Outstanding; or, in the case of any suit relating to or arising under clause (c) or (g) of Section
7.01 (if the suit relates to Securities of more than one but less than all series), ten percent (10%) in aggregate principal amount of Securities then Outstanding and affected thereby; or, in the case of any suit relating to or arising under clause (c) or (g) (if the suit under clause (c) or (g) relates to all the Securities then Outstanding), or clause (d), (e) or (f) of Section 7.01, ten percent (10%) in aggregate principal amount of all Securities then Outstanding; or to any suit instituted by any Securityholder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest on any Security on or after the due date expressed in such Security or any date fixed for redemption.

ARTICLE EIGHT

CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE

SECTION 8.01. The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of any series and after the curing of all Events of Default which may have occurred with respect to such series, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture. In case an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of any series has occurred (which has not been cured) the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs.

The Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the Trustee pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, shall examine them to determine whether they conform to the requirements of this Indenture.

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

(a) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of any series and after the curing of all such Events of Default with respect to such series which may have occurred:


43

(i) the duties and obligations of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture, and the Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and

(ii) in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture;

(b) the Trustee shall not be personally liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a responsible officer or responsible officers of the Trustee, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and

(c) the Trustee shall not be personally liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding (determined as provided in
Section 9.04) relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Indenture.

None of the provisions of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any personal 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 8.02. Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.01:

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

(b) Any request, direction, order or demand of the Company mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by an instrument signed in the name of the Company by the Chairman of the Board or the President or any Vice President and the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary or the Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer or the Controller (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed); and any resolution of the Board of Directors may be evidenced to the Trustee by a copy thereof certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company;


44

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

(d) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the trusts or powers vested in it by this Indenture or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation thereto at the request, order or direction of any of the Security Holders, pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, unless such Security Holders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby; nothing herein contained shall, however, relieve the Trustee of the obligation, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (which has not been cured) to exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and to use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs;

(e) The Trustee shall not be personally liable for any action taken or omitted by it in good faith and reasonably believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture;

(f) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder and after the curing of all Events of Default, the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond, debenture or other paper or document, unless requested in writing so to do by the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of all series affected then Outstanding; provided, however, that if the payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee, not reasonably assured to the Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms of this Indenture, the Trustee may require reasonable indemnity against such expense or liability as a condition to so proceeding. The reasonable expense of every such examination shall be paid by the Company or, if paid by the Trustee, shall be repaid by the Company upon demand; and

(g) The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys.

SECTION 8.03. The recitals contained herein and in the Securities (other than the certificate of authentication on the Securities) shall be taken as the statements of the Company, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness of the same. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Securities. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Company of any of the Securities or of the proceeds of such Securities, or for the use or application of any moneys paid over by the Trustee in accordance with any provision of this Indenture, or for the use or application of any moneys received by any paying agent other than the Trustee.


45

SECTION 8.04. The Trustee or any paying agent or calculation agent or any Security Registrar, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, paying agent, calculation agent, or Security Registrar.

SECTION 8.05. Subject to the provisions of Article Four, all moneys received by the Trustee shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were received, but need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. The Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any moneys received by it hereunder except such as it may agree in writing with the Company to pay thereon. So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all interest allowed on any such moneys shall be paid from time to time upon the written order of the Company, signed by its Chairman of the Board or President or any Vice President or Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer.

SECTION 8.06. The Company covenants and agrees to pay to the Trustee from time to time, and the Trustee shall be entitled to, reasonable compensation (which shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust) for all services rendered by it in the execution of the trusts hereby created and in the exercise and performance of any of the powers and duties hereunder of the Trustee, and the Company will pay or reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any of the provisions of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its counsel and of all persons not regularly in its employ) except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its negligence or bad faith. The Company also covenants to indemnify the Trustee for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust, including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim of liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder. The obligations of the Company under this Section 8.06 to compensate the Trustee and to pay or reimburse the Trustee for expenses, disbursements and advances shall constitute additional indebtedness hereunder. Such additional indebtedness shall be secured by a lien prior to that of the Securities upon any property and funds held or collected by the Trustee as such, except funds held in trust for the benefit of the Holders of particular Securities.

When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in connection with an Event of Default specified in Section 7.01(d) or Section 7.01(e), the expenses and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any bankruptcy law.

The Company's obligations under this Section 8.06 and any lien arising hereunder shall survive the resignation or removal of any Trustee, the discharge of the Company's obligations pursuant to Article Four of this Indenture and/or the termination of this Indenture.


46

SECTION 8.07. Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.01, whenever in the administration of the trusts of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking or suffering or omitting any action hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by an Officers' Certificate, and such certificate shall be full warrant to the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it under the provisions of this Indenture upon the faith thereof.

SECTION 8.08. If the Trustee has or shall acquire a conflicting interest within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, the Trustee shall either eliminate such interest or resign, to the extent and in the manner provided by, and subject to the provisions of, the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 and this Indenture. To the extent permitted by such Act, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have a conflicting interest by virtue of being a trustee for another series of Securities under this Indenture. Nothing herein shall prevent the Trustee from filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission the application referred to in the second to last paragraph of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939.

SECTION 8.09. The Trustee hereunder shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States or of any State or Territory or of the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least twenty-five million dollars, subject to supervision or examination by Federal, State, Territorial, or District of Columbia authority. If such corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 8.09, 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. In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with provisions of this Section 8.09, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 8.10.

SECTION 8.10. (a) The Trustee, or any successor hereafter appointed, may at any time resign with respect to one or more series of Securities and be discharged from the trust hereby created by giving written notice thereof to the Company and by mailing notice of such resignation to the Holders of then Outstanding Securities of such series affected at their addresses as they appear on the Security Register. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor trustee or trustees with respect to the applicable series by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by order of the Board of Directors, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and one copy to the successor trustee or trustees. If no successor trustee shall have been so appointed with respect to any series of Securities and have accepted appointment within thirty days after the publication of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee, or any Security Holder who has been a bona fide holder of a Security or Securities of the applicable series for at least


47

six months may, subject to the provisions of Section 7.08, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any such court for the appointment of a successor trustee. Such court may thereupon after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, appoint a successor trustee.

(b) In case at any time any of the following shall occur --

(i) the Trustee shall fail to comply with the provisions of
Section 8.08 with respect to any series of Securities after written request therefor by the Company or by any Security Holder who has been a bona fide holder of a Security or Securities of the applicable series for at least six months, or

(ii) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.09 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any such Security Holder, or

(iii) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting with respect to any series of Securities, 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, the Company may remove the Trustee with respect to the applicable series of Securities and appoint a successor trustee for such series by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by order of the Board of Directors, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor trustee, or, subject to the provisions of
Section 7.08, any Security Holder who has been a bona fide holder of a Security or Securities of the applicable series for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor trustee with respect to such series. Such court may thereupon after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee.

(c) The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of each series at the time outstanding may at any time remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee with respect to Securities of such series by written instrument or instruments, in duplicate, signed by such Holders or their attorneys-in-fact duly authorized, one complete set of which instruments shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and one complete set to the successor so appointed.

(d) Any resignation or removal of the Trustee with respect to any series and appointment of a successor trustee with respect to such series pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 8.10 shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in Section 8.11.

(e) The Company shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee with respect to any series and each appointment of a successor trustee with respect to such series by mailing written notice of such event by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to the Holders of Securities of such series as their names and


48

addresses appear in the Security Register. Each notice shall include the name of the successor trustee with respect to such series and the address of its principal corporate trust office.

SECTION 8.11. Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 8.10 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to its predecessor trustee an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee with respect to any applicable series shall become effective and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations with respect to such series of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as trustee for such series herein. The predecessor trustee shall, nevertheless, at the written request of the successor trustee, pay over to the successor trustee all moneys at the time held by it hereunder, subject nevertheless to its lien, if any, provided for in Section 8.06; and the Company and the predecessor trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required for more fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor trustee all such rights, powers, duties and obligations.

If a successor trustee is appointed with respect to the Securities of one or more (but not all) series, the Company, the predecessor trustee and each successor trustee with respect to the Securities of any applicable series shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto which shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the predecessor trustee with respect to the Securities of any series as to which the predecessor trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the predecessor trustee, and 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 as if they were created under separate indentures.

No successor trustee with respect to any series of Securities shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 8.11 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall be qualified under the provisions of
Section 8.08 and eligible under the provisions of Section 8.09.

SECTION 8.12. Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation shall be qualified under the provisions of
Section 8.08 and eligible under the provisions of Section 8.09, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding. 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


49

deliver the Securities so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor trustee had itself authenticated such Securities.

SECTION 8.13. The Trustee shall comply with Section 311(a) of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 excluding any creditor relationship listed in Section 311(b) of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939. A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to Section 311(a) of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 to the extent indicated therein.

ARTICLE NINE

CONCERNING THE SECURITY HOLDERS

SECTION 9.01. Whenever in this Indenture it is provided that the Holders of a specified percentage in aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Securities of any or all series may take any action (including the making of any demand or request, the giving of any notice, consent or waiver or the taking of any other action) the fact that at the time of taking any such action the Holders of such specified percentage have joined therein may be evidenced (a) by any instrument or any number of instruments of similar tenor executed by Security Holders in person or by attorney or proxy appointed in writing, or (b) by the record of the Holders of Securities voting in favor thereof at any meeting of Security Holders duly called and held in accordance with the provisions of Article Ten, or (c) by a combination of such instrument or instruments and any such record of such a meeting of Security Holders.

SECTION 9.02. Subject to the provisions of Section 8.01, proof of the execution of any instrument by a Security Holder or his attorney or proxy and proof of the holding by any person of any of the Securities shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture if made in the following manner:

(a) The fact and date of the execution by any such person of any instrument may be proved by the certificate of any notary public, or other officer of any jurisdiction of or within the United States of America authorized to take acknowledgments of deeds, that the person executing such instrument acknowledged to him the execution thereof, or by an affidavit of a witness to such execution sworn to before any such notary or other such officer. Where such execution is by an officer of a corporation or association or a member of a partnership on behalf of such corporation, association or partnership, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument, or the authority of the person executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner that the Trustee deems sufficient.

(b) The ownership of Securities shall be proved by the register of such Securities or by a certificate of any duly appointed registrar thereof.

The Trustee shall not be bound to recognize any person as a Security Holder unless and until his title to the Securities held by him is proved in the manner in this Article Nine provided.


50

The record of any Security Holders' meeting shall be proved in the manner provided in Section 10.06.

The Trustee may require such additional proof of any matter referred to in this Section 9.02 as it shall deem necessary.

SECTION 9.03. The Company, the Trustee, and any paying agent and any Security Registrar may deem and treat the person in whose name any Security shall be registered upon the books of the Company as the absolute owner of such Security (whether or not such Security shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notice of ownership or writing thereon made by anyone other than the Company or any Security Registrar) for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such Security and for all other purposes; and neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any paying agent nor any Security Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. All such payments so made to any such registered Holder for the time being or upon his order shall be valid and, to the extent of the sum or sums so paid, effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability for moneys payable upon any such Security.

SECTION 9.04. In determining whether the Holders of the requisite aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Securities of any or all series have concurred in any direction, consent or waiver under this Indenture, Securities which are owned by the Company or any other obligor on the Securities, or by any person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company or any other obligor on the Securities, shall be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such determination, except that for the purpose of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, consent or waiver only Securities which the Trustee knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. Securities so owned which have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as Outstanding for the purposes of this Section 9.04, if the pledgee shall establish to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee's right to vote such Securities and that the pledgee is not a person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company or any such other obligor. In case of a dispute as to such right, any decision by the Trustee taken upon the written advice of counsel shall be full protection to the Trustee. Upon request of the Trustee, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee promptly an Officers' Certificate listing and identifying all Securities, if any, known by the Company to be owned or held by or for the account of any of the above-described persons; and, subject to Sections 8.01 and 8.02, the Trustee shall be entitled to accept such Officer's Certificate as conclusive evidence of the facts therein set forth and of the fact that all Securities not listed therein are Outstanding for the purpose of any such determination unless Trustee has actual knowledge to the contrary.

SECTION 9.05. Any demand, request, waiver, consent or vote of the Holder of any Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders and owners of such Security, and of any Security issued in exchange therefor or in place thereof, irrespective of whether or not any notation in regard thereto is made upon such Security. Any action taken by the Holders of the specified percentage in


51

aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any or all series, as the case may be, specified in this Indenture in connection with such action shall be conclusively binding upon the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of all the Securities so specified.

Any meeting of the Holders of the Securities or any series thereof shall be valid without notice if the Holders of all Securities or all Securities of the applicable series, as the case may be, then Outstanding are present in person or by proxy, or if notice is waived before or after the meeting by the Holders of all such Securities or all Securities of the applicable series, as the case may be, Outstanding, and if the Company and the Trustee are either present by duly authorized representatives or have, before or after the meeting, waived notice.

SECTION 10.03. In case at any time the Company, pursuant to resolution of its Board of Directors, or the Holders of at least twenty percent (20%) in aggregate

Except as otherwise permitted or required by any such regulations, the holding of Securities shall be proved in the manner specified in Section 9.02 and the appointment of any proxy shall be proved in the manner specified in said Section 9.02 or by having the signature of the person executing the proxy witnessed or guaranteed by any bank or trust company satisfactory to the Trustee.

The Trustee shall, by an instrument in writing, appoint a temporary chairman of the meeting, unless the meeting shall have been called by the Company or by Security Holders as provided in Section 10.03, in which case the Company or the Security Holders 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 Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities represented at the meeting and entitled to vote.

The permanent chairman of the meeting shall appoint two inspectors of votes, who shall count all votes cast at the meeting for or against any resolution and who shall make and file with the secretary of the meeting their verified written reports in duplicate of all votes cast at the meeting. A record in duplicate of the proceedings of each meeting of Security 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 published as provided in Section 10.02.

ARTICLE ELEVEN

SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES

SECTION 11.01. The Company, when authorized by a Board Resolution, and the Trustee, subject to the conditions and restrictions in this Indenture contained, may from time to time and at any time enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto (which shall conform to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 as then in effect) for one or more of the following purposes:

(a) to convey, transfer, assign, mortgage or pledge to the Trustee as security for the Securities of one or more series any property or assets;

(b) to evidence the succession of another corporation to the Company, or successive successions, and the assumptions by the successor corporation of the covenants, agreements and obligations of the Company pursuant to Article Twelve;


54

(c) to add to the covenants and agreements of the Company contained in this Indenture, for the benefit of the Holders of the Securities, or to surrender any right or power herein reserved to or conferred upon the Company;

(d) to cure any ambiguity or to correct or supplement any defective or inconsistent provision contained in this Indenture or in any supplemental indenture, provided that no such action shall adversely affect the interests of the Holders of the Securities;

(e) to establish the form or terms of Securities of any series as permitted by Sections 2.01 and 2.03;

(f) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment hereunder by a successor trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more series and to 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, pursuant to the requirements of Section 8.11; and

(g) to make such provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under this Indenture as may be necessary or desirable and not inconsistent with this Indenture, provided that such other provisions shall not adversely affect the interest of the Holders of the Securities.

The Trustee is hereby authorized to join with the Company in the execution of any supplemental indenture authorized or permitted by the terms of this Indenture, to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations which may be therein contained, but the Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into any such supplemental indenture which affects the Trustee's own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

Any supplemental indenture authorized by the provisions of this Section 11.01 may be executed by the Company and the Trustee without the consent of the Holders of any of the Securities at the time outstanding, notwithstanding any of the provisions of Section 11.02.

SECTION 11.02. With the consent (evidenced as provided in Section 9.01) of the Holders (or persons entitled to vote, or to give consents respecting the same) of not less than 66 2/3% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of all series affected by such supplemental indenture (voting as one class), the Company, when authorized by a Board Resolution, and the Trustee may from time to time and at any time enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto (which shall conform to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 as then in effect) for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture or of any supplemental indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights and obligations of the Holders of the Securities of each such series and of the Company; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall
(a) extend the fixed maturity of any Securities, or reduce the principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon, or reduce any premium payable upon the redemption thereof, or reduce the amount of the


55

principal of an Original Issue Discount Security that would be due and payable upon an acceleration of the maturity thereof pursuant to Section 7.01 or the amount thereof provable in bankruptcy pursuant to Section 7.02, or impair or affect the right of any Security Holder to institute suit for the payment thereof or, if the Securities provide therefor, any right of repayment at the option of the Security Holder, in each case without the consent of the Holder of each Security so affected, or (b) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Securities of any series, the Holders of which are required to consent to any such supplemental indenture, without the consent of the Holders of each Security so affected.

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

Upon the request of the Company, accompanied by a copy of a resolution of its Board of Directors certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company authorizing the execution of any such supplemental indenture, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence of the consent of Security Holders as aforesaid, the Trustee shall join with the Company in the execution of such supplemental indenture unless such supplemental indenture affects the Trustee's own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion but shall not be obligated to enter into such supplemental indenture.

It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Security Holders under this Section 11.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof.

The Company may in its discretion establish a record date with respect to any action to be taken pursuant to this Section.

Promptly after the execution by the Company and the Trustee of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Section 11.02, the Company shall mail written notice, setting forth in general terms the substance of such supplemental indenture, by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to the Holders of the then Outstanding Securities of each series affected thereby as their names and addresses appear in the Security Register. Any failure of the Company to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture.

SECTION 11.03. Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Article Eleven or of Article Twelve, this Indenture shall be and be deemed to be modified and amended in accordance therewith and the respective rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities under this Indenture of the Trustee, the Company and the Holders of Securities of each series affected thereby shall thereafter be determined, exercised and enforced hereunder subject in all respects to such modifications and amendments, and all the terms and conditions of any such


56

supplemental indenture shall be and be deemed to be part of the terms and conditions of this Indenture for any and all purposes.

SECTION 11.04. Securities authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental indenture affecting such Securities pursuant to the provisions of this Article Eleven, or after any action taken at a Security Holders' meeting pursuant to Article Ten, may bear a notation in form approved by the Trustee as to any matter provided for in such supplemental indenture or as to any action taken at any such meeting; and, in such case, suitable notation may be made upon Outstanding Securities of each series affected thereby after proper presentation and demand. If the Company or the Trustee shall so determine, new Securities so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Trustee and the Board of Directors of the Company, to any modification of this Indenture contained in any such supplemental indenture, or to any action taken at any such meeting, may be prepared by the Company, authenticated by the Trustee and delivered in exchange for the Securities affected by a supplemental indenture then Outstanding, upon demand of, and without cost to, the Holders thereof, upon surrender of such Securities.

SECTION 11.05. The Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 8.01, may receive an Officers' Certificate and Opinion of Counsel as conclusive evidence that any supplemental indenture executed pursuant to this Article Eleven is authorized or permitted by the terms of this Indenture and that it is not inconsistent therewith.

CONSOLIDATION, MERGER OR SALE

SECTION 12.01. The Company covenants and agrees that it will not consolidate or merge with or into any other person, or sell or transfer all or substantially all of its property and assets to any other person, (a) unless the person formed by or resulting from any such consolidation or merger, or which shall have received the transfer of all or substantially all of the property and assets of the Company, shall assume the due and punctual performance and observance of all of the covenants and conditions to be performed or observed by the Company hereunder, (b) unless the Company, such person or such successor person, as the case may be, shall not, immediately after such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer, be in default in the performance of any such covenant or condition, or (c) if, upon such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer becoming effective any of the property or assets of the Company would become or be subject to any mortgage or other lien (an "additional lien"), other than liens existing thereon prior thereto and liens permitted under the first paragraph and clauses (a) through (h) and (j) of the second paragraph of Section 5.11 hereof, unless (x) prior to such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer all of the Securities at the time Outstanding shall be directly secured (equally and ratably with any other indebtedness of the Company then entitled thereto) by a mortgage or other lien ranking prior to such additional lien, in form satisfactory to the Trustee, on all of the property and assets of the Company, and accretions thereto, which would upon such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer become subject to such additional lien, such mortgage or other lien


57

securing the Securities to be effective for so long as such property and assets shall remain subject to such additional lien, or (y) the Company makes effective provision whereby all Securities Outstanding immediately after such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer will be directly secured by a mortgage or other lien in form satisfactory to the Trustee equally and ratably with (or prior to) any and all obligations, indebtedness and claims secured by such additional lien, upon such property and assets of the Company (or the person resulting from or surviving such consolidation or merger, if not the Company, or the person to which such sale or transfer shall have been made, as the case may be) as are subject to such additional lien, such mortgage or other lien securing the Securities to be effective for so long as such property and assets shall remain subject to such additional lien.

Subject to the provisions of Section 8.01, the Trustee may receive an Opinion of Counsel as conclusive evidence that the instrument or instruments evidencing any mortgage and pledge referred to above comply with the foregoing conditions and provisions of this Section 12.01.

SECTION 12.02. Subject to the provisions of Section 12.01, nothing in this Indenture shall prevent any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other person, or any sale, or transfer of all or substantially all of the property and assets of the Company to any other person lawfully entitled to acquire the same; provided, however, and the Company covenants and agrees, that any such consolidation, merger, sale, or transfer shall be upon the condition that the due and punctual payment of the principal, premium, if any, and interest of all the Securities according to their tenor, and the due and punctual performance and observance of all the terms, covenants and conditions of the Indenture to be kept or performed by the Company shall, by an indenture supplemental hereto, executed and delivered to the Trustee, be assumed by the person formed by or resulting from any such consolidation or merger (provided that no such supplemental indenture shall be required if the Company is the surviving person upon the consolidation or merger), or which shall have received the transfer of all or substantially all of the property and assets of the Company, just as fully and effectually as if such successor person had been the original party of the first part hereto. Every such successor person upon executing an indenture supplemental hereto, as provided in this Section 12.02, in form satisfactory to the Trustee, shall succeed to and be substituted for the Company with the same effect as if it had been named herein as party of the first part hereto; and any order, certificate, statement, request, instructions, advice or resolutions of the Board of Directors or officers of the Company provided for in this Indenture may be made by like officials of such successor person.

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

In the event of any such sale or transfer (other than a transfer by way of lease), the Company or any successor person which shall theretofore have become such in the manner described in this Article shall be discharged from all obligations and covenants under this Indenture and the Securities.


58

Subject to the provisions of Section 8.01, the Trustee may receive an Opinion of Counsel as conclusive evidence that any such indenture supplemental hereto complies with the foregoing conditions and provisions of this Section 12.02.

This Section 12.02 shall be applicable to successive consolidations or mergers to which the Company (including any successor) is a party and to successive sales or transfers by the Company (including any successor).

SECTION 13.02. Any act or proceeding by any provision of this Indenture authorized or required to be done or performed by any board, committee or officer of the Company shall and may be done and performed with like force and effect by the like board, committee or officer of any corporation that shall at the time be the lawful successor of the Company.

SECTION 13.03.

In any case where notice to such Holders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders.

Waivers of notice by

RE: REGISTRATION STATEMENT ON FORM S-3
$250,000,000 INITIAL OFFERING PRICE OF DEBT SECURITIES

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to Harris Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), in connection with an offering pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), of $250,000,000 maximum aggregate initial public offering price of the Company's debt securities (the "Debt Securities"), and the corporate proceedings (the "Corporate Proceedings") taken and to be taken in connection therewith. The Debt Securities are to be issued under and pursuant to an indenture (the "Indenture"), dated as of May 1, 1996, between the Company and Chemical Bank, as trustee. We have also participated in the preparation and filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (the "Registration Statement") relating to the Debt Securities. In this connection, we have examined such corporate and other records, instruments, certificates and documents as we considered necessary to enable us to express this opinion.

Based on the foregoing, it is our opinion that, upon completion of the Corporate Proceedings, the Debt Securities will have been duly authorized for issuance and, when each series of Debt Securities is duly executed, authenticated, issued and delivered, such series will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company entitled to the benefits of the Indenture, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their respective terms except as (i) the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally and (ii) rights of acceleration and the availability of equitable remedies may be limited by equitable principles of general applicability.

Our opinion expressed above is limited to the laws of the State of New York, the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and the federal laws of the United States of America.

We consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the reference to us under the caption "Legal Matters" therein.

Very truly yours,

CROWELL & MORING
