                                  THE COMPANY
 
GENERAL
 
  Heller Financial, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated in 1919 under the
laws of the State of Delaware and is engaged in various aspects of the
commercial finance business. The Company and its consolidated subsidiaries
employ approximately 1,400 people. The executive offices are located at 500
West Monroe Street, Chicago, Illinois 60661 (telephone: (312) 441-7000). Unless
the context indicates otherwise, references to the Company include Heller
Financial, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.
 
  The Company operates in the middle market segment of the commercial finance
industry, which generally includes entities in the manufacturing and service
sectors with annual sales in the range of $15 million to $200 million and in
the real estate sector with property values generally in the range of $5
million to $40 million. The Company currently provides services in six product
categories: (1) corporate finance, (2) real estate finance, (3) asset based
finance, (4) current asset management, (5) specialized commercial finance and
investments and (6) international factoring and asset based finance.
 
  The Company is continuing the program begun in 1990 to diversify its
portfolio and earnings sources, strengthen earnings quality, improve asset
quality and maintain its capital strength. The Company is diversifying its
portfolio and earnings sources by reducing reliance on the corporate finance
business and growing the asset based and international businesses. Earnings
quality is being strengthened by developing more stable earning streams and
reducing the level and volatility of credit quality costs. Asset quality is
improving through resolution of problem accounts and more conservative
underwriting practices. The Company is pursuing these goals in the framework of
continued moderate leverage, strong reserves and conservative liquidity.
 
OWNERSHIP
 
  All of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company is owned by Heller
International Corporation (the "Parent"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Fuji
Bank, Limited ("Fuji Bank"), headquartered in Tokyo, Japan. Fuji Bank also
directly owns 21% of the outstanding shares of Heller International Group,
Inc., a consolidated subsidiary of the Company engaged in international
factoring and asset based financing activities. Fuji Bank is one of the largest
banks in the world, with total deposits of approximately $412 billion at March
31, 1995. For a discussion of the "Keep Well Agreement" between Fuji Bank and
the Company, see "Keep Well Agreement with Fuji Bank."

  If the financial statements from which the numbers in the foregoing table
were taken had been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States, some of the amounts shown might have been
materially different. The Company currently understands that accounting
principles generally accepted in Japan differ from generally accepted
accounting principles in the United States in various areas including the
following: valuation of securities, accounting treatment of guarantees,
commitments, unearned income, deferred taxes, leases, depreciation, foreign
currency transactions and investments in subsidiaries, and creation and
maintenance of optional and required reserves.
 
  The "Keep Well Agreement" between Fuji Bank and the Company provides that, if
necessary, Fuji Bank will maintain the Company's net worth at $500 million
through the purchase of sufficient shares of a new series of preferred stock of
the Company and will provide loans of up to $500 million to maintain the
Company's liquidity. No purchases of preferred stock or loans have been made by
Fuji Bank under this Agreement. For further discussion of the "Keep Well
Agreement," see "Keep Well Agreement With Fuji Bank" below.
CORPORATE FINANCE
 
 
  The Corporate Finance group offers a broad spectrum of services based on the
cash flows underlying a client's business. These services are often provided
through coordination with private equity sponsors and include the financing of
corporate recapitalizations, refinancings, acquisitions and buy-outs of
publicly and privately held entities in a wide variety of industries. Loans are
provided on both a term and revolving basis for periods of up to ten years and
are typically collateralized by senior liens on the borrower's stock or assets
or both. Corporate finance transactions may also include some unsecured,
subordinated or non-voting equity financing. From time to time the Company buys
and sells assignments and participations in loans as a method of managing hold
sizes and industry concentrations.
 
REAL ESTATE FINANCE
 
  The Real Estate Financial Services group provides interim financing to
owners, investors and developers primarily for the acquisition, refinancing and
renovation of commercial income producing properties in a wide range of
property types and geographic areas. These loans generally have terms ranging
from one to five years and are principally collateralized by first mortgages.
The Company also offers financing for discounted loan portfolio acquisitions,
participating junior debt financing to developers of single and multi-family
housing, credit sale-leaseback financing for single tenant properties, as well
as standby commitments for periods of one to two years.

ASSET BASED FINANCE
 
  Asset based financing is offered by Vendor Finance, Commercial Equipment
Finance, Heller Business Credit ("Business Credit") and Heller First Capital
("First Capital"). Vendor Finance provides leasing and financing of equipment
through approximately 75 manufacturer and vendor programs, financing of
independent leasing companies and direct relationships with end users.
Individual transactions are generally under $500,000. This division finances
the machining, graphics, healthcare, communication, plastics and production
equipment markets. Commercial Equipment Finance provides financing of general
equipment transactions with an average size of $3 million to a diverse group of
businesses for expansion, replacement and modernization or refinancing of
existing equipment obligations.
 
  Business Credit provides working capital and term financing to middle market
companies in a variety of industries for refinancings, recapitalizations and
acquisitions. The group also serves as co-lender on or participates in
transactions agented by other asset based lenders. The average commitment and
loan sizes are $17 million and $8 million, respectively, and are usually for
periods of 3 to 5 years. These loans consist of revolving credit facilities
secured by accounts receivable and inventory and to a lesser extent, term loans
secured by property, plant and equipment. The revolving credit facilities and
term loans are generally cross-collateralized.
 
  First Capital is a provider of long-term financial products for small
businesses under U.S. Small Business Administration loan programs, which
guarantee from 60% to 90% of such financings. These loans generally have an
average size of approximately $350,000 and are made to small businesses in a
wide variety of industries for working capital, equipment and owner-occupied
facilities. From time to time, guaranteed portions of these loans may be sold
in the secondary market with servicing rights retained by First Capital.
 
CURRENT ASSET MANAGEMENT
 
  The Current Asset Management group primarily offers factoring services to the
apparel, textile and home furnishings industries. In return for a commission,
the group purchases the client's accounts receivable and provides collection
and management information services. Working capital is provided by advancing
on a formula basis a percentage of the purchase price of the client's factored
accounts receivable. The Company is one of the largest factors in the highly
competitive United States factoring industry, with 1994 annual volume of $6.6
billion.
 
SPECIALIZED FINANCE AND INVESTMENTS
 
  Specialized financing and investments are generally originated in four areas:
aircraft finance, project investment and advisory, direct equity investments
and portfolio investments. Aircraft Finance offers financing for commercial
aircraft and equipment through leases or junior secured loans to an operating
lessor, with terms ranging from 2 to 10 years. Project Investment and Advisory
offers financing to independent power producers and industrial projects in the
form of senior and junior secured loans, equity investments and development
loans. Heller Investments makes investments in middle market companies
requiring an operational or financial turnaround. The Company also makes equity
investments in established middle market companies through participation with
equity sponsors and investments in equity funds.
 
INTERNATIONAL FACTORING AND ASSET BASED FINANCE
 
  The Company provides factoring and asset based financing outside the United
States through investments in commercial finance companies located in 19
countries in Europe, Asia, Australia and Latin America. These companies, which
may be wholly-owned or joint ventures, offer factoring, asset based finance,
acquisition finance, leasing, vendor finance and/or trade finance programs to
the mid-sized corporate sector. During 1994, the Company continued to pursue
new international opportunities as it invested in a factoring
 
                                       5

joint venture in Argentina. In addition to these joint venture activities, the
Company has expanded support of the international needs of existing domestic
customers.
 
KEEP WELL AGREEMENT WITH FUJI BANK
 
  The Company entered into a Keep Well Agreement (the "Agreement") with Fuji
Bank on April 23, 1983 in order to assist the Company in maintaining its credit
rating. The Agreement was amended and supplemented on January 26, 1984, in
connection with the consummation of the purchase of the Company by Fuji Bank
and has been amended since that date from time to time.
 
  On May 3, 1995, the Company and Fuji Bank agreed to extend the term of the
Keep Well Agreement for an additional two years from December 31, 2000 to
December 31, 2002.
 
  The Agreement provides that Fuji Bank will maintain the Company's net worth
in an amount equal to $500 million. Accordingly, if the Company should
determine, at the close of any month, that its net worth is less than $500
million, then Fuji Bank will purchase, or cause one of its subsidiaries to
purchase, shares of the Company's NW Preferred Stock, Class B (No Par Value)
("NW Preferred Stock") in an amount necessary to increase the Company's net
worth to $500 million. If and when issued, dividends will be paid quarterly on
the NW Preferred Stock at a rate per annum equal to 1% over the three-month
London Inter-bank Offered Rate. Such dividends will not be paid during a
default in the payment of principal or interest on any of the outstanding
indebtedness for money borrowed by the Company. Subject to certain conditions,
the NW Preferred Stock will be redeemable at the option of the holder, within a
specified period of time after the end of a calendar quarter in an aggregate
amount not greater than the excess of net worth of the Company as of the end of
such calendar quarter over $500 million.
 
  The Agreement further provides that if the Company should lack sufficient
cash, other liquid assets or credit facilities to meet its payment obligations
on its commercial paper, then Fuji Bank will lend the Company up to $500
million (the "Liquidity Commitment"), payable on demand, which the Company may
use only for the purpose of meeting such payment obligations. Any such loan by
Fuji Bank to the Company (a "Liquidity Advance") will bear interest at a
fluctuating interest rate per annum equal to the announced prime commercial
lending rate of Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York plus .25% per annum.
Each Liquidity Advance will be repayable on demand at any time after the
business day following the 29th day after such Liquidity Advance was made. No
repayment of the Liquidity Advance will be made during a period of default in
the payment of the Company's senior indebtedness for borrowed money.
 
  No Liquidity Advances or purchases of NW Preferred Stock have been made by
Fuji Bank under the Agreement. The Parent has previously made other infusions
of capital in the Company.
 
  Under the Agreement, the Company has covenanted to maintain, and Fuji Bank
has undertaken to assure that the Company will maintain, unused short-term
lines of credit and committed credit facilities in an amount approximately
equal to 75% of the amount of its commercial paper obligations from time to
time outstanding. In addition, under the Agreement, neither Fuji Bank nor any
of its subsidiaries can sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of any shares of the
Company's Common Stock or permit the Company to issue shares of its Common
Stock except to Fuji Bank or a Fuji Bank affiliate.
 
  Neither Fuji Bank nor the Company may terminate the Agreement for any reason
prior to December 31, 2002. After December 31, 2002, either Fuji Bank or the
Company may terminate the Agreement upon 30 business days' prior written
notice. So long as the 8 1/8% Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A
("Perpetual Preferred Stock") is outstanding and held by third parties other
than Fuji Bank, the Agreement may not be terminated by either party unless the
Company has received written certifications from Moody's Investors Services,
Inc. and Standard and Poor's Corporation that upon termination the Perpetual
Preferred Stock will be rated by them no lower than "a3" and "A-",
respectively. For these purposes the Perpetual Preferred Stock will no longer
be deemed outstanding at such time as an effective notice of redemption of all
 
                                       6
<PAGE>
 
of the Perpetual Preferred Stock shall have been given by the Company and funds
sufficient to effectuate such redemption shall have been deposited with the
party designated for such purpose in the notice. In addition, any termination
of the Keep Well Agreement by the Company must be consented to by Fuji Bank.
Any such termination will not relieve the Company of its obligations in respect
of any NW Preferred Stock outstanding on the date of termination or the
dividends thereon, any amounts owed in respect of Liquidity Advances on the
date of termination or the unpaid principal or interest on those Liquidity
Advances or Fuji Bank's fee relating to the Liquidity Commitment. Any such
termination will not adversely affect the Company's commercial paper
obligations outstanding on the date of termination. The Agreement can be
modified or amended by a written agreement of Fuji Bank and the Company.
However, no such modification or amendment may change the prohibition against
termination before December 31, 2002. Further, no such modification or
amendment may adversely affect the Company's then-outstanding commercial paper
obligations.
 
  Under the Agreement, the Company's commercial paper obligations and any other
debt instruments are solely the obligations of the Company. The Agreement is
not a guarantee by Fuji Bank of the payment of the Company's commercial paper
obligations, indebtedness, liabilities or obligations of any kind.

                                USE OF PROCEEDS
 
  Except as otherwise provided in the Prospectus Supplement, the net proceeds
from the sale of the Securities will be added to the general funds of the
Company and will be available for the repayment of short-term borrowings and
for other corporate purposes.
 
  From time to time, the Company may engage in additional public or private
financings of a character and amount that the Company may deem appropriate.
 
                         DESCRIPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES
 
  The following description sets forth certain general terms and provisions of
the indentures under which the Securities are to be issued. The particular
terms of each issue of Offered Securities, as well as any modifications or
additions to such general terms that may apply in the case of such Offered
Securities, will be described in the Prospectus Supplement relating to such
Offered Securities and will be set forth in a filing with the Commission.
Accordingly, for a description of the terms of a particular issue of Offered
Securities, reference must be made to both the Prospectus Supplement relating
thereto and to the following description.
 
  The Senior Securities are to be issued under an indenture dated as of
September 1, 1995 between the Company and Shawmut Bank Connecticut, National
Association ("Shawmut"), as Trustee, or pursuant to an indenture described
below (such indentures, as at any time amended, being referred to herein
individually as a "Senior Indenture" or collectively as the "Senior
Indentures"); the Subordinated Securities are to be issued under an indenture
dated as of September 1, 1995 between the Company and Shawmut, as Trustee, or
pursuant to an indenture described below (such indentures, as at any time
amended, being referred to herein individually as a "Subordinated Indenture" or
collectively as the "Subordinated Indentures"); and the Junior Subordinated
Securities are to be issued under an indenture dated as of September 1, 1995
between the Company and Shawmut, as Trustee, or pursuant to an indenture
described below (such indentures being referred to herein individually as a
"Junior Subordinated Indenture" or collectively as the "Junior Subordinated
Indentures"). Each of the Senior Securities, the Subordinated Securities and
the Junior Subordinated Securities, respectively, may also be issued under an
indenture in the form of such indenture for each such class of Debt Securities,
respectively, filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement, for which the
related Trustee will be qualified in accordance with the rules and regulations
of the Commission on or about the time of their respective issuance. The forms
of the Senior Indentures, the Subordinated Indentures and the Junior
Subordinated Indentures are filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement and
are sometimes referred to herein individually as an "Indenture" and
collectively as the "Indentures". The following description of the Indentures
and summaries of certain provisions thereof do not purport to be complete and
are subject to, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to, all
provisions of the respective Indentures. All section references appearing
herein are to sections of the applicable Indenture or Indentures, and
capitalized terms defined in the Indentures are used herein as therein defined.
 
  There is no requirement that future issues of debt securities of the Company
be issued under any of the Indentures, and the Company will be free to employ
other indentures or documentation containing provisions different from those
included in the Indentures or applicable to one or more issues of Offered
Securities, in connection with future issues of such other debt securities.
 
GENERAL
 
  Each Indenture provides that the Debt Securities issued thereunder may be
issued without limit as to aggregate principal amount, in one or more series,
and may be denominated in any currency or currency unit, in each case as
established from time to time in or pursuant to authority granted by a
resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company or as established in one or
more indentures supplemental to such
 
                                       9
<PAGE>
 
Indenture. (Section 3.01). Each Indenture also provides that there may be more
than one Trustee under such Indenture, each with respect to one or more series
of Debt Securities. The Trustee under any Indenture may resign or be removed
with respect to one or more series of Debt Securities issued under such
Indenture, and a successor Trustee may be appointed to act with respect to such
series. (Section 8.10). If two or more persons are acting as Trustee with
respect to different series of Debt Securities issued under the same Indenture,
each such Trustee shall be a Trustee of a trust under such Indenture separate
and apart from the trust administered by any other such Trustee (Section 8.11),
and any action described herein to be taken by the "Trustee" may then be taken
by each such Trustee with respect to, and only with respect to, the one or more
series of Debt Securities for which it is Trustee under such Indenture.
 
  Reference is made to the Prospectus Supplement for the following terms of the
Debt Securities in respect of which this Prospectus is being delivered: (1) the
title of the Debt Securities and whether such Debt Securities will be Senior
Debt, Subordinated Debt or Junior Subordinated Debt of the Company; (2) any
limit on the aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities; (3) the
percentage of their principal amount for which the Debt Securities will be
issued; (4) the date or dates on which the principal of (and premium, if any,
on) the Debt Securities will be payable; (5) the rate or rates (which may be
fixed or variable), or the method by which such rate or rates shall be
determined, at which the Debt Securities will bear interest, if any; (6) the
currency, currencies or currency units for which the Debt Securities may be
purchased and the currency, currencies or currency units in which the principal
of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on such Debt Securities may be
payable; (7) the date or dates from which any such interest will accrue, the
date or dates on which any such interest will be payable and the regular record
dates for such interest payment dates; (8) the place or places where the
principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on the Debt Securities
will be payable; (9) the period or periods within which, the price or prices at
which and the terms and conditions upon which the Debt Securities may be
redeemed, in whole or in part, at the option of the Company, pursuant to any
sinking fund or otherwise, if the Company is to have such an option, and
whether any special terms and conditions of redemption shall apply if the Debt
Securities are Registered Securities (as hereinafter defined) or Unregistered
Securities (as hereinafter defined); (10) the obligation, if any, of the
Company to redeem, repay or purchase the Debt Securities pursuant to any
sinking fund or analogous provision or at the option of a Holder thereof, and
the period or periods within which, the price or prices at which and the terms
and conditions upon which the Debt Securities will be redeemed, repaid or
purchased, in whole or in part, pursuant to such obligation; (11) any Events of
Default with respect to the Debt Securities in addition to those set forth in
the respective Indenture; and (12) any other terms of the Debt Securities not
inconsistent with the provisions of the respective Indenture.
 
  The Company will comply with Rule 14e-1 promulgated under the 1934 Act, and
any other tender offer rules under the 1934 Act which may then be applicable in
connection with any obligation of the Company to purchase Debt Securities at
the option of the Holders thereof. Any such obligation applicable to an issue
of Offered Securities will be described in the Prospectus Supplement relating
thereto.
 
  The Debt Securities may be issued in fully registered form without coupons
("Fully Registered Securities"), or in a form registered as to principal only
with coupons ("Registered Securities") or in bearer form with or without
coupons ("Unregistered Securities"). The Debt Securities of a series may be
issued in whole or in part in the form of one or more global securities that
will be deposited with, or on behalf of, a depositary identified in the
applicable Prospectus Supplement. The specific depositary arrangement with
respect to a series of Debt Securities or any part thereof will be described in
the applicable Prospectus Supplement. Unless otherwise specified in the
Prospectus Supplement, the Debt Securities will be issued only as Fully
Registered Securities in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple
thereof and will be payable in United States Dollars. (Section 3.02).
 
  An investment in Debt Securities indexed, as to principal or interest or
both, to one or more values of currencies (including exchange rates between
currencies), commodities or interest rate indices entails significant risks
that are not associated with similar investments in a conventional fixed-rate
debt security. If
 
                                       10
<PAGE>
 
the interest rate of such a Debt Security is so indexed, it may result in an
interest rate that is less than that payable on a conventional fixed-rate debt
security issued at the same time, including the possibility that no interest
will be paid, and, if the principal amount of such a Debt Security is so
indexed, the principal amount payable at maturity may be less than the original
purchase price of such Debt Security if allowed pursuant to the terms of such
Debt Security, including the possibility that no principal will be paid. The
secondary market for such Debt Securities will be affected by a number of
factors, independent of the creditworthiness of the issuer and the value of the
applicable currency, commodity or interest rate index, including the volatility
of the applicable currency, commodity or interest rate index, the time
remaining to the maturity of such Debt Securities, the amount outstanding of
such Debt Securities and market interest rates. The value of the applicable
currency, commodity or interest rate index depends on a number of interrelated
factors, including economic, financial and political events, over which the
Company has no control. Additionally, if the formula used to determine the
principal amount or interest payable with respect to such Debt Securities
contains a multiple or leverage factor, the effect of any change in the
applicable currency, commodity or interest rate index will be increased. The
historical experience of the relevant currencies, commodities or interest rate
indices should not be taken as an indication of future performance of such
currencies, commodities or interest rate indices during the term of any Debt
Security. Accordingly, prospective investors should consult their own financial
and legal advisors as to the risks entailed by an investment in such Debt
Securities and the suitability of such Debt Securities in light of their
particular circumstances.
 
  If any of the Debt Securities are sold for foreign currencies or foreign
currency units or if the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if
any, on any series of Debt Securities is payable in foreign currencies or
foreign currency units, the restrictions, elections, tax consequences, specific
terms and other information with respect to such issue of Debt Securities and
such currencies or currency units will be set forth in the Prospectus
Supplement relating thereto.
 
  One or more series of Debt Securities may be sold at a substantial discount
below their stated principal amount, bearing no interest or interest at a rate
which at the time of issuance is below market rates ("Original Issue Discount
Securities"). Special Federal income tax, accounting and other considerations
applicable thereto will be described in the Prospectus Supplement relating to
any such Debt Securities.
 
  The Debt Securities will be unsecured obligations of the Company. None of the
Company's outstanding debt securities are, and none of the Debt Securities will
be, guaranteed by Fuji Bank.
 
CERTAIN DEFINITIONS
 
  The following terms are defined in each Indenture. (Sections 1.01 and 12.07).
 
  The term "Consolidated Net Tangible Assets" is defined to mean the total of
all assets reflected on a consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its
consolidated Subsidiaries, prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, at their net book values (after deducting related
depreciation, depletion, amortization and all other valuation reserves which,
in accordance with such principles, should be set aside in connection with the
business conducted), but excluding goodwill, unamortized debt discount and all
other like segregated intangible assets, and amounts on the asset side of such
balance sheet for capital stock of the Company, all as determined in accordance
with such principles, less the aggregate of the current liabilities of the

consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries,
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS
 
  The Company agrees in each Indenture that it will not, and will not permit
any Restricted Subsidiary to, create, incur or assume any Lien on property of
any character of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary to secure
indebtedness for money borrowed, incurred, issued, assumed or guaranteed by the
Company or any Restricted Subsidiary ("indebtedness") unless: (1) the Lien
equally and ratably secures the Securities and the indebtedness (subject, in
the case of Securities constituting either Subordinated Debt or Junior
Subordinated Debt, to subordination of respective rights of payment as provided
in the Subordinated Indenture or the Junior Subordinated Indenture, as the case
may be); or (2) the Lien is on property or shares of stock of a corporation at

consolidates with the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary; or (3) the Lien is on
property at the time the
 
                                       12
<PAGE>

secures indebtedness incurred at the time of such acquisition or at any time
thereafter to finance all or part of the cost of maintenance, improvement or
construction relating thereto; or (11) the Lien is created in favor of the
Small Business Administration on property owned by a Restricted Subsidiary
which is organized as a small business investment company under Title 15, 681,

whole or in part a Lien enumerated in clauses (1) through (11) above; or (13)
the Lien secures indebtedness of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary and the
sum of the following does not exceed 10% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets:
(x) such indebtedness plus (y) other indebtedness of the Company and its
Restricted Subsidiaries secured by Liens on property of the Company and its
Restricted Subsidiaries, excluding indebtedness secured by a Lien existing as
of the date of the Indenture and excluding indebtedness secured by a Lien
permitted by one of clauses (1) through (12) above. (Section 12.07).
 
  Each Indenture provides that the Company may omit in any particular instance
to comply with any part or the entirety of the foregoing restriction on Liens
if the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Debt
Securities at the time Outstanding of each series that is affected thereby
shall either waive such compliance in such instance or generally waive
compliance. (Section 12.08).
 
  None of the Indentures limits the amount of Senior Debt, Subordinated Debt or
Junior Subordinated Debt that may be incurred by the Company. However, under
certain restrictive provisions of other indentures and agreements, the Company
has covenanted that it will not at any time permit the aggregate principal
amount of all Debt which is reflected on the consolidated balance sheets of the
Company to exceed 10 times consolidated stockholders' equity, determined in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The foregoing
provisions are contained in certain indentures and agreements of varying terms,
the longest of which is currently scheduled to expire on May 15, 2002. None of
the Indentures affects the Company's ability to terminate or amend such
provisions prior to such date.
 
MERGERS, CONSOLIDATIONS AND TRANSFERS OF ASSETS
 
  Each Indenture provides that the Company will not consolidate with or merge
into any other corporation or convey, transfer or lease its properties and
assets substantially as an entirety to any person, unless (a) the corporation
formed by such consolidation or into which the Company is merged or the person
which shall have acquired by conveyance or transfer, or which leases such
properties and assets shall be a corporation organized and existing under the
laws of the United States, or any State or the District of Columbia, and shall
assume payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any,
on the Debt Securities and the performance or observance of every covenant to
be performed or observed by the Company under the Indenture, (b) immediately
thereafter, no Event of Default (or event which, with notice or lapse of time,
or both, would be such) shall have happened and be continuing and (c) certain
other conditions have been met. (Section 10.01). If any such transaction were
to occur, then, provided that all such conditions were satisfied, the Company
would be discharged from all of its obligations and covenants under the
Indenture and the Debt Securities. (Section 10.02).
 
                                       13
<PAGE>
 
PAYMENT AND TRANSFER
 
  Principal of, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on Fully Registered
Securities is to be payable at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee under
the applicable Indenture or any other office maintained by the Company for such
purposes, provided that payment of interest, if any, on Fully Registered
Securities may be made at the option of the Company by check mailed to the
persons in whose names such Securities are registered at the close of business
on the day or days specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement. (Sections
3.08, 3.12). The principal of, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on Debt
Securities in other forms will be payable in such manner and at such place or
places as may be designated by the Company and specified in the applicable
Prospectus Supplement. (Section 3.12).
 
  Fully Registered Securities may be transferred or exchanged at the Corporate
Trust Office of the Trustee under the applicable Indenture or at any other
office or agency maintained by the Company for such purposes, subject to the
limitations in the applicable Indenture, without the payment of any service
charge except for any tax or governmental charge incidental thereto. Provisions
with respect to the transfer and exchange of Debt Securities in other forms
will be set forth in the applicable Prospectus Supplement. (Section 3.05).
 
BOOK ENTRY, DELIVERY AND FORM
 
  If the accompanying Prospectus Supplement so indicates, the Debt Securities
will be represented by one or more certificates (the "Global Securities"). The
Global Security representing Debt Securities will be deposited with, or on
behalf of, The Depository Trust Company ("DTC") or other successor depository
appointed by the Company (DTC or such other depository is herein referred to as
the "Depository") and registered in the name of the Depository or its nominee.
 
  DTC currently limits the maximum denomination of any single Global Security
to $200,000,000. Therefore, for purposes hereof, "Global Security" refers to
the Global Security or Global Securities representing the entire issue of Debt
Securities.
 
  DTC has advised the Company and any underwriters, dealers or agents named in
the accompanying Prospectus Supplement as follows: DTC 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
New York Uniform Commercial Code and a "clearing agency" registered pursuant to
the provisions of Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. DTC was
created to hold securities of its 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. DTC's participants include securities brokers and dealers, banks,
trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other organizations, some of
which (and/or their representatives) own DTC. Access to DTC'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.
 
  Upon the issuance by the Company of Debt Securities represented by a Global
Security, DTC 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 the underwriters, dealers or agents. Ownership of
beneficial interests in the Global Security will be limited to participants or
persons that hold interests through participants. Ownership of beneficial
interests in Debt Securities represented by the Global Security will be shown
on, and the transfer of that ownership will be effected only through, records
maintained by DTC (with respect to interests of participants in DTC), or by
participants in DTC or persons that may hold interests through such
participants (with respect to persons other than participants in DTC). 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 the Global Security.
 
 
                                       14
<PAGE>
 
  So long as the Depository for the Global Security, or its nominee, is the
registered owner of the Global Security, the Depository or its 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 applicable
Indenture. Except as provided below, owners of beneficial interests in Debt
Securities represented by the Global Security will not be entitled to have Debt
Securities represented by such Global Security registered in their names, will
not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of Debt Securities in
definitive form and will not be considered the owners or holders thereof under
the applicable Indenture.
 
  Payments of principal of and interest, if any, on the Debt Securities
represented by the Global Security registered in the name of DTC or its nominee
will be made by the Company through the Trustee under the applicable Indenture
or a paying agent (the "Paying Agent"), which may also be the Trustee under the
applicable Indenture to DTC or its nominee, as the case may be, as the
registered owner of the Global Security. Neither the Company, the Trustee, nor
the Paying Agent will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of
the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership
interests of the Global Security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing
any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests.
 
  The Company has been advised that DTC, upon receipt of any payment of
principal or interest in respect of a Global Security, will credit immediately
the accounts of the related participants with payment in amounts proportionate
to their respective holdings in principal amount of beneficial interest in such
Global Security as shown on the records of DTC. The Company expects that
payments by participants to owners of beneficial interests in a Global Security
will be governed by standing customer instructions and customary practices, as
is now the case with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer
form or registered in "street name" and will be the responsibility of such
participants.
 
  If the Depository with respect to a Global Security is at any time unwilling
or unable to continue as Depository and a successor Depository is not appointed
by the Company within 90 days, the Company will issue certificated notes in
exchange for the Debt Securities represented by such Global Security.
 
SAME-DAY SETTLEMENT
 
  If the accompanying Prospectus Supplement so indicates, settlement for the
Debt Securities will be made by the underwriters, dealers or agents in
immediately available funds and all applicable payments of principal and
interest on the Debt Securities will be made by the Company in immediately
available funds. Secondary trading in long-term notes and debentures of
corporate issuers is generally settled in clearinghouse or next-day funds. In
contrast, the Debt Securities subject to settlement in immediately available
funds will trade in the Depository's Same-Day Funds Settlement System until
maturity, and secondary market trading activity in the Debt Securities will
therefore be required by the Depository to settle in immediately available
funds. No assurance can be given as to the effect, if any, of settlement in
immediately available funds on trading activity in the Debt Securities.
 
EVENTS OF DEFAULT, NOTICE AND WAIVER
 
  Except as may otherwise be set forth in the applicable Prospectus Supplement,
each Indenture provides that the following events are Events of Default with
respect to any series of Debt Securities issued thereunder: (a) default in the
payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any Debt Security of such
series at its maturity, upon redemption (if applicable) or otherwise; (b)
default for 30 days in the payment of any installment of interest on any Debt
Security of such series; (c) default for 60 days after written notice in the
performance of any other covenant in respect of the Debt Securities of such
series contained in such Indenture or in such Debt Securities; (d) (i) an Event
of Default with respect to any other series of Debt Securities issued pursuant
to such Indenture, or (ii) a default under any bond, debenture, note or other
evidence of indebtedness for money borrowed, issued, assumed or guaranteed by
the Company having unpaid principal in excess of $2,000,000 or under any
mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be issued or
 
                                       15
<PAGE>
 
by which there may be secured or evidenced any such indebtedness for money
borrowed, whether such indebtedness now exists or shall hereafter be created,
which Event of Default or default, as the case may be, in either such case,
shall have resulted in such other series of Debt Securities or such
indebtedness becoming or being declared due and payable prior to the date on
which it would otherwise have become due and payable, without such other series
of Debt Securities or such indebtedness having been discharged or such
declaration of acceleration having been rescinded or annulled within a period
of 60 days after there shall have been given, by registered or certified mail,
to the Company by the Trustee, or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders
of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities of
such series, a written notice specifying such Event of Default or default, as
the case may be, and requiring the Company to cause such indebtedness to be
discharged or cause such acceleration to be rescinded or annulled and stating
that such notice is a "Notice of Default" under the Indenture, unless at the
end of such 60-day period and thereafter the Event of Default or default is
being contested in good faith by the Company; (e) certain events of bankruptcy,
insolvency or reorganization, or court appointment of a receiver, liquidator or
trustee of the Company or its property; and (f) any other Event of Default
provided in or pursuant to the applicable resolution of the Board of Directors,
or established in the supplemental indenture under which such series of Debt
Securities is issued. (Section 7.01). No Event of Default with respect to a
particular series of Debt Securities necessarily constitutes an Event of
Default with respect to any other series of Securities issued under the same or
another Indenture.
 
  Within 90 days after the occurrence of any default with respect to any series
of Debt Securities, the Trustee for such series must give the Holders of such
Debt Securities notice of all defaults of which it has knowledge and that have
not been cured or waived. Nevertheless, the Trustee may withhold notice to the
Holders of any series of Debt Securities of any default with respect to such
series (except a default in the payment of principal, premium or interest) if
and so long as it determines that the withholding of such notice is in the
interest of such Holders. (Section 8.02).
 
  If an Event of Default with respect to any series of Debt Securities shall
have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in
aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities of such series may
declare the principal thereof (or, in the case of a series of Original Issue
Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified
in the Prospectus Supplement respecting the offer and sale of such Debt
Securities) to be due and payable immediately. (Section 7.02).
 
  Each Indenture contains a provision entitling the Trustee to be indemnified
by the Holders of Debt Securities issued thereunder before proceeding to
exercise any right or power under such Indenture at the request of any Holders.
(Section 8.03). Each Indenture provides that the Holders of a majority in
principal amount of the outstanding Securities of any series issued thereunder
may, with certain exceptions, direct 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, with respect to the Debt Securities of
such series. (Section 7.12). The right of a Holder to institute a proceeding
with respect to the applicable Indenture is subject to certain conditions
precedent, including notice and indemnity to the applicable Trustee, but each
Holder has an absolute right to the receipt of principal, premium, if any, and
interest, if any, at the respective Stated Maturities of the Debt Securities
(or, in the case of a redemption, on the Redemption Date) or to institute suit
for the enforcement thereof. (Sections 7.07 and 7.08).
 
  The Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding
Securities of any series may, on behalf of the Holders of all such Securities,
waive any past default, except (a) a default in the payment of the principal of
(or premium, if any) or interest, if any, on any Security of such series at
maturity, upon redemption or otherwise, and (b) a default in respect of any
covenant or provision of the applicable Indenture that cannot be amended or
modified without the consent of the Holder of each of the outstanding
Securities affected. (Section 7.13).
 
  Each Indenture requires the Company to furnish to the applicable Trustee
annual statements as to the fulfillment by the Company of its obligations under
such Indenture. (Section 12.05).
 
                                       16
<PAGE>
 
MODIFICATION OF THE INDENTURES
 
  Modifications and amendments of any Indenture may be made by the Company and
the applicable Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in
principal amount of each series of the Debt Securities at the time outstanding
that is affected thereby, provided that no such modification or amendment may,
without the consent of the Holder of each of the outstanding Securities
affected thereby: (i) modify the terms of payment of principal or interest;
(ii) reduce the above-stated percentage of Holders of outstanding Securities
necessary to modify or amend such Indenture or to waive compliance by the
Company with any restrictive covenant; or (iii) subordinate the indebtedness
evidenced by the Debt Securities to any indebtedness of the Company other than
to subordinate Subordinated Debt to Senior Debt or to subordinate Junior
Subordinated Debt to Senior Debt and Subordinated Debt. (Section 11.02).
 
SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE
 
  Each Indenture provides that the Company shall be discharged from its
obligations under the Debt Securities of a series at any time prior to the
Stated Maturity or redemption thereof when (a) the Company has irrevocably
deposited with the Trustee, in trust, (i) sufficient funds in the currency or
currency unit in which the Debt Securities are denominated to pay the principal
of (and premium, if any), and interest to Stated Maturity (or redemption) on,
the Debt Securities of such series, or (ii) such amount of direct obligations
of, or obligations the principal of and interest on which are fully guaranteed
by, the government which issued the currency in which the Debt Securities are
denominated, and which are not subject to prepayment, redemption or call, as
will, together with the predetermined and certain income to accrue thereon
without consideration of any reinvestment thereof, be sufficient to pay when
due the principal of (and premium, if any), and interest to Stated Maturity (or
redemption) on, the Debt Securities of such series, (b) the Company has paid
all other sums payable with respect to the Debt Securities of such series, (c)
if the deposit occurs more than one year prior to the Stated Maturity or
redemption of the Debt Securities of such series, the Company has delivered to
the Trustee an opinion of recognized tax counsel to the effect that such
deposit and discharge will not result in recognition by the Holders of the Debt
Securities of such series of income, gain or loss for Federal income tax
purposes (other than income, gain or loss which would have been recognized in
like amount and at a like time absent such deposit and discharge) and (d) the
Company has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel as to certain other
matters. Upon such discharge, the Holders of the Debt Securities of such series
shall no longer be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture, except for the
purposes of registration of transfer and exchange of the Debt Securities of
such series, and replacement of lost, stolen or mutilated Debt Securities and
shall look only to such deposited funds or obligations for payment. (Sections
6.01 and 6.03). However, each Indenture provides that, if the Trustee is unable
to apply any money or obligations deposited with the Trustee 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 the Trustee's inability to convert any such money
or Government Obligations into the currency or currency unit required to be
paid with respect to the Debt Securities of such series, the Company's
obligations under the Indenture will be reinstated until such time as the
Trustee is permitted to apply all such money and obligations in accordance with
the provisions of such Indenture. (Section 6.04).
 
THE SENIOR SECURITIES
 
  The Senior Securities are to be issued under one of the Senior Indentures.
Each series of Senior Securities will constitute Senior Debt and will rank
equally with each other series of Senior Securities. All Subordinated Debt
(including, but not limited to, all Subordinated Securities) and all Junior
Subordinated Debt (including, but not limited to, all Junior Subordinated
Securities) will be subordinated to the Senior Securities.
 
THE SUBORDINATED SECURITIES
 
  The Subordinated Securities are to be issued under one of the Subordinated
Indentures. Each series of Subordinated Securities will constitute Subordinated
Debt and will rank equally with each other series of Subordinated Securities.
All Junior Subordinated Debt (including, but not limited to, all Junior
Subordinated
 
                                       17
<PAGE>
 
Securities) will be subordinated to the Subordinated Securities, and the
Subordinated Securities will be subordinated to all Senior Debt (including, but
not limited to, all Senior Securities).
 
  In the event of any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings, and any
receivership, liquidation, reorganization or other similar proceedings in
connection therewith, relative to the Company or to its property, or if any
Subordinated Security is declared due and payable because of the occurrence of
an Event of Default, then, in either event, all principal of, premium, if any,
and interest, if any, on all Senior Debt will be paid in full before any
payment is made on such Subordinated Security. (Section 14.01 of the
Subordinated Indenture).
 
THE JUNIOR SUBORDINATED SECURITIES
 
  The Junior Subordinated Securities are to be issued under one of the Junior
Subordinated Indentures. Each series of Junior Subordinated Securities will
rank equally with each other series of Junior Subordinated Securities. The
Junior Subordinated Securities will be subordinated to all Senior Debt
(including, but not limited to, all Senior Securities) and all Subordinated
Debt (including, but not limited to, all Subordinated Securities).
 
  In the event of any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings, and any
receivership, liquidation, reorganization or other similar proceedings in
connection therewith, relative to the Company or to its property, or if any
Junior Subordinated Security is declared due and payable because of the
occurrence of an Event of Default, then, in either event, all principal of,
premium, if any, and interest, if any, on all Senior Debt and all Subordinated
Debt will be paid in full before any payment is made on such Junior
Subordinated Security. (Section 14.01 of the Junior Subordinated Indenture).
 
  As of June 30, 1995, the aggregate principal amount of Senior Debt
outstanding was $6.97 billion and there was no outstanding Subordinated Debt or
Junior Subordinated Debt.
 
CONCERNING SHAWMUT BANK CONNECTICUT, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
 
  Shawmut Bank Connecticut, National Association will serve as Trustee under a
Senior Indenture, a Subordinated Indenture and a Junior Subordinated Indenture.
It is anticipated that Shawmut will be appointed as Successor Trustee for the
Company under a senior indenture, dated as of February 24, 1993 between the
Company and The First National Bank of Boston, as Trustee, pursuant to which
there have been six series of senior debt securities issued, and under a junior
subordinated indenture dated, as of February 24, 1993 between the Company and
The First National Bank of Boston, as Trustee, pursuant to which there have
been no issuances. Shawmut is a depository of the Company, has extended formal
lines of credit to the Company and has performed certain other services for the
Company in the ordinary course of business.
 
                            DESCRIPTION OF WARRANTS
 
  The following statements with respect to the Warrants are summaries of, and
subject to, the detailed provisions of a Warrant Agreement (the "Warrant
Agreement") to be entered into by the Company and a warrant agent to be
selected at the time of issue (the "Warrant Agent"), a form of which is filed
as an exhibit to the Registration Statement.
 
GENERAL
 
  The Warrants, evidenced by Warrant certificates (the "Warrant Certificates"),
may be issued under the Warrant Agreement independently or together with any
Debt Securities offered by any Prospectus Supplement and may be attached to or
separate from such Debt Securities. If Warrants are offered, the Prospectus
Supplement will describe the terms of the Warrants, including the following:
(i) the offering price, if any; (ii) the designation, aggregate principal
amount, and terms of the Debt Securities purchasable upon exercise of the
Warrants; (iii) if applicable, the designation and terms of the Debt Securities
with which the
 
                                       18
<PAGE>
 
Warrants are issued and the number of Warrants issued with each such Debt
Security; (iv) if applicable, the date on and after which the Warrants and the
related Debt Securities will be separately transferable; (v) the principal
amount of Debt Securities purchasable upon exercise of one Warrant and the
price at which such principal amount of Debt Securities may be purchased upon
such exercise; (vi) the date on which the right to exercise the Warrants shall
commence and the date on which such right shall expire; (vii) federal income
tax consequences; (viii) whether the Warrants represented by the Warrant
Certificates will be issued in registered or bearer form; and (ix) any other
material terms of the Warrants.
 
  Warrant Certificates may be exchanged for new Warrant Certificates of
different denominations and may (if in registered form) be presented for
registration of transfer at the corporate trust office of the Warrant Agent or
any Co-Warrant Agent, which will be listed in the Prospectus Supplement, or at
such other office as may be set forth therein. Warrantholders do not as such
have any of the rights of Holders of Debt Securities and are not entitled to
payments of principal of and interest, if any, on such Debt Securities.
 
EXERCISE OF WARRANTS
 
  Warrants may be exercised by surrendering the Warrant Certificate at the
corporate trust office of the Warrant Agent or at the corporate trust office of
the Co-Warrant Agent, if any, with the form of election to purchase on the
reverse side of the Warrant Certificate properly completed and executed, and by
payment in full of the exercise price, as set forth in the Prospectus
Supplement. Upon the exercise of Warrants, the Warrant Agent or Co-Warrant
Agent, if any, will, as soon as practicable, deliver the Debt Securities in
authorized denominations in accordance with the instructions of the exercising
Warrantholder and at the sole cost and risk of such holder. If less than all of

ITEM 15. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
 
  The registrant, a Delaware corporation, is empowered by section 145 of the
Delaware General Corporation Law, subject to the procedures and limitations
stated therein, to indemnify any person against expenses (including attorneys'
fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably
incurred by him in the defense of any threatened, pending or completed action,
suit or proceeding in which such person is made a party by reason of his being
or having been a director or officer of the registrant. The statute provides
that indemnification pursuant to its provisions is not exclusive of other
rights of indemnification to which a person may be entitled under any by-law,
agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise. In
effect, the by-laws of the registrant provide for indemnification by the
registrant of its directors and officers to the full extent permitted by the
Delaware General Corporation Law. Also, as permitted by the Delaware General
Corporation Law, the registrant's Restated Certificate of Incorporation
eliminates the personal liability of each director of the Company to the
Company or its stockholders for monetary damages arising out of or resulting
from any breach of his fiduciary duty as a director, except where such director
breached his duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders, failed to act
in good faith, engaged in intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of the
law, paid an unlawful dividend, approved an unlawful stock purchase or
redemption, or obtained an improper personal benefit.
 
  Reference is made to the form of Underwriting Agreement Basic Provision filed
as Exhibit 1(a) hereto and to the form of Distribution Agreement filed as
Exhibit 1(b) hereto for a description of the indemnification arrangements in
connection with any offering through underwriters or agents of the Securities
registered hereby. Similar indemnification provisions were contained in the
underwriting agreements executed in connection with prior offerings and sales
of securities by the registrant.
 
ITEM 16. EXHIBITS
 
  The exhibits to this registration statement are listed in the Exhibit Index
hereto and are incorporated herein by reference.
 
ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS
 
  The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
 
    (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
  post-effective amendment to the registration statement:
 
                                      S-1
<PAGE>
 
      (i) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the
    Securities Act of 1933;
 
      (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after
    the effective date of 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 by the registrant
  pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
  1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.
 
    (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
  Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed
  to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
  therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed
  to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
 
    (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment
  any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
  termination of the offering.
 
    (4) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities
  Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to
  section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that
  is incorporated by reference in 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.
 
    (5) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
  Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and
  controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the statutory, charter
  and by-law provisions, the underwriting agreement or otherwise referred to
  in Item 15 of the registration statement, 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.
 
    (6) To file an application for the purpose of determining the eligibility
  of the trustee under Subsection (a) of Section 310 of the Trust Indenture
  Act of 1939, as amended (the "Trust Indenture Act") in accordance with the
  rules and regulations prescribed by the Commission under section 305(b)(2)
  of the Trust Indenture Act.

(each a "Pricing Agreement" and together the "Pricing Agreements") in the form
of Annex I hereto, with such additions and deletions as the parties thereto may
determine, between the Company and the firm or firms named in Schedule I to the
Pricing Agreement. With respect to any particular Pricing Agreement, the firm or
firms named in Schedule I thereto are hereinafter referred to as the

Designated Securities are to be issued is hereinafter referred to as the
"Designated Indenture" and the firm or firms designated as representatives of
the Underwriters are hereinafter referred to as the "Representatives"; if the
Underwriters include only the Representatives, use of the latter term shall be
deemed to refer to the Underwriters. The basic provisions set forth in this
document (the "Basic Provisions) are intended to be incorporated by reference in
the Pricing Agreements and the sale of Designated Securities to Underwriters
pursuant to any particular Pricing Agreement shall be subject to the terms and
conditions set forth herein and therein. Any such Pricing Agreement, together
with the Basic Provisions incorporated by reference therein, is herein referred
to as this "Agreement." Capitalized terms defined in any Pricing Agreement are
used herein as therein defined.

     1.   Representations and Warranties of the Company.  The Company
represents and warrants to, and agrees with, the Underwriters with respect to
each offering of Designated Securities that:

          (a) A registration statement on Form S-3 (with the file number set
     forth in Schedule II to the Pricing Agreement), including a prospectus,
     relating to the Securities has been filed with the Commission and has
     become effective; the Company meets the requirements for the use of such
     form.  A prospectus supplement (the "Prospectus Supplement") reflecting the
     terms of the Designated Securities, the terms of the offering thereof and
     the other matters set forth therein has been prepared and will be filed
     pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act").  The
     registration statement (including the material incorporated therein by
     reference, except for documents or portions thereof which are deemed, under
     Rule 412 of the rules and regulations under the Act, not to be 

                                      -2-
<PAGE>
 
     incorporated into such registration statement and including all exhibits
     thereto other than the Form T-1 Statement of Eligibility and Qualification
     under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the "Trust Indenture
     Act"), for each Trustee under the Indentures, as amended at the time of any
     Pricing Agreement, is hereinafter referred to, with respect to the
     transaction contemplated by such Pricing Agreement, as the "Registration
     Statement", and each prospectus then forming a part thereof (including the
     material incorporated therein by reference), as supplemented by the
     Prospectus Supplement, is hereinafter referred to as the "Prospectus". Any
     reference to any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or
     Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include the filing of any
     document with the Commission deemed to be incorporated by reference therein
     after the effective date of the Registration Statement.

          (b) On the effective date of the registration statement relating to
     the Securities (including the material incorporated therein by reference),
     the registration statement conformed in all material respects with the
     requirements of the Act, the Trust Indenture Act and the applicable rules
     and regulations of the Commission thereunder and did not include any untrue
     statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to
     be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
     misleading, and each of the Indentures conformed in all material respects
     with the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act and the rules and
     regulations of the Commission thereunder; on the date of each Pricing
     Agreement and at the Time of Delivery (as hereinafter defined), the
     Registration Statement and the Prospectus will conform in all material
     respects with the requirements of the Act, the Trust Indenture Act and the
     rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder and neither of such
     documents will include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to
     state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
     the statements therein not misleading and the Designated Indenture will
     conform in all material respects with the requirements of the Trust
     Indenture Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder;
     provided, however, that the Company makes no representations or warranties
     as to the information contained in or omitted from the Registration
     Statement or the Prospectus in reliance upon and in conformity with
     information furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of any
     Underwriter, directly or through the Representatives, specifically for use
     in connection with the preparation thereof.

                                      -3-

          (c) The accountants who have certified or shall certify the audited
     financial statements of the Company included or incorporated by reference
     in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus are, to the best of the
     Company's knowledge, independent accountants as required by the Act and the
     Rules and Regulations.

          (d) The financial statements included or incorporated by reference in
     the Registration Statement and the Prospectus present fairly the financial
     position, results of operations and changes in financial position of the
     corporations to which they relate, as of the respective dates of, or for
     the respective periods indicated, all in conformity with generally accepted
     accounting principles applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods
     involved.

          (e) Subsequent to the respective dates as of which information is
     given in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, except as
     contemplated or set forth in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus,
     (i) there has not been any material adverse change in the financial
     condition, earnings, business or properties of the Company and its
     subsidiaries taken as a whole, whether or not arising from transactions in
     the ordinary course of business, (ii) neither the Company nor any of its
     subsidiaries have entered into any transaction not in the ordinary course
     of business material to the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole
     and (iii) neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries have incurred any
     liabilities or obligations, direct or contingent, not in the ordinary
     course of business which are material in relation to the Company and its
     subsidiaries taken as a whole.

          (f) The Designated Indenture has been duly authorized, executed and
     delivered by the Company and has been duly qualified under the Trust
     Indenture Act and constitutes the valid and legally binding obligations of
     the Company subject, as to enforcement, to bankruptcy, insolvency,
     reorganization and other laws of general applicability affecting creditors
     rights and to general equity principles; the Designated Securities conform
     to the description thereof contained in the Prospectus and are duly and
     validly authorized, and, when validly authenticated, issued and delivered
     in accordance with the Designated Indenture and sold to the Underwriters,
     will be validly issued and outstanding obligations of the Company entitled
     to the benefits of the Designated Indenture; and at the Time of Delivery
     the Designated Securities will rank pari passu with 

                                      -4-
<PAGE>
 
     all other series of Securities issued under the Designated Indenture.

          (g) The Company and each of its subsidiaries (other than subsidiaries
     which, considered in the aggregate as a single subsidiary, would not
     constitute a "significant subsidiary" as defined in Rule 1-02(v) of
     Regulation S-X promulgated by the Commission) have been duly incorporated
     and are validly existing as corporations in good standing under the laws of
     the respective jurisdictions of their incorporations; each of the Company
     and such subsidiaries is duly licensed and duly qualified to do business as
     a foreign corporation and is in good standing in all the jurisdictions in
     which it owns or leases substantial property or in which the conduct of its
     business requires such qualification, except where the failure to be so
     qualified, considering all such cases in the aggregate, does not involve a
     material risk to the business, properties, financial position or results of
     operations of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole; and each
     of the Company and such subsidiaries has full power and authority to own
     its properties and conduct its business as described in the Prospectus; all
     the outstanding shares of capital stock of each such subsidiary have been
     duly and validly authorized and issued and are fully paid and nonassessable
     and are owned by the Company either directly or through wholly owned
     subsidiaries free and clear of any perfected security interest and any
     other security interests, claims, liens or encumbrances.

          (h) Neither the issuance or sale of the Designated Securities by the
     Company, nor the consummation by the Company of any other of the
     transactions herein contemplated, nor the fulfillment by the Company of the
     terms hereof, will materially conflict with, result in a material breach of
     or constitute a material default under any statute, the Company's charter
     or by-laws or the terms of any indenture or other agreement or instrument
     to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or is bound, or,
     to the best of the knowledge of the Company, any order or regulation
     applicable to the Company or any of its subsidiaries of any court,
     regulatory body, administrative agency or governmental body having
     jurisdiction over the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

          (i) Except for litigation referred to in the Registration Statement or
     in the Prospectus and litigation which, if determined adversely to the
     Company or its subsidiaries, would not have a material adverse effect upon
     

                                      -5-
<PAGE>
 
     the financial condition or the earnings of the Company and its subsidiaries
     (taken as a whole), the Company knows of no legal or governmental
     proceedings pending to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a
     party or of which any property of the Company or any of its subsidiaries is
     the subject; and, to the best of the Company's knowledge, no such
     proceedings are threatened or contemplated by governmental authorities or
     threatened by others.

          (j) Neither the Company nor any of the Company's subsidiaries is in
     default in the payment of principal of or interest on any indebtedness or
     in the performance of any covenant, term or condition contained in any
     instrument evidencing any such indebtedness or under which it was created;
     and at the Time of Delivery, there shall not exist any Event of Default as
     defined in the Designated Indenture or any condition, event or act, which,
     with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute such an Event of
     Default.

          (k) The documents incorporated by reference in the Registration
     Statement or Prospectus, when they became effective or were filed with the
     Commission, as the case may be, under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
     (the "Exchange Act"), conformed, and any documents so filed and
     incorporated by reference after the date of the Pricing Agreement relating
     to the Designated Securities will, when they are filed with the Commission,
     conform, in all material respects to the requirements of the Exchange Act
     and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.

     2.   Purchase and Offering.
     
          (a) Particular sales of Designated Securities may be made from time to
     time to the Underwriters of such Securities.  These Basic Provisions,
     standing alone, shall not be construed as an obligation of the Company to
     sell any of the Securities or as an obligation of any Underwriters to
     purchase the Securities.  Such obligations shall come into existence only
     upon execution, by the Company and the Representatives named therein, of
     the Pricing Agreement with respect to the Designated Securities specified
     therein.  Each Pricing Agreement shall specify the firms which will be
     Underwriters and their Representatives (if any), the principal amount of
     the Designated Securities to be purchased by each Underwriter, the purchase
     price to be paid by the Underwriters, the initial public offering price,
     the terms of the Designated Securities not already specified in the
     Designated Indenture, including, but not limited to, interest rate (if
     any), maturity, redemption provisions and 

                                      -6-
<PAGE>
 
     sinking fund requirements (if any) and whether any of the Designated
     Securities may be sold pursuant to Delayed Delivery Contracts ("Delayed
     Delivery Contracts"). Each Pricing Agreement shall also specify the date,
     time and manner of delivery and payment for the Designated Securities. A
     Pricing Agreement shall be in the form of an executed writing (which may be
     in counterparts), and may be evidenced by an exchange of facsimile
     transmissions. The obligations of the Underwriters to purchase the
     Designated Securities pursuant to any Pricing Agreement shall be several
     and not joint.

          (b) Upon the execution of the Pricing Agreement applicable to any
     Designated Securities and authorization by the Representatives of the
     release of such Designated Securities, the several Underwriters propose to
     offer such Designated Securities for sale upon the terms and conditions set
     forth in the Prospectus Supplement relating to such Designated Securities.

          (c) Designated Securities to be purchased by each Underwriter pursuant
     to the Pricing Agreement relating thereto, in definitive form or in book-
     entry form as specified in the Pricing Agreement, and in such authorized
     denominations and registered in such names as the Representatives may
     request upon at least forty-eight hours' prior notice to the Company, shall
     be delivered by or on behalf of the Company to the Representatives for the
     account of such Underwriter, against payment by such Underwriter or on its
     behalf of the purchase price therefor by certified or official bank check
     or checks payable to the order of the Company or by wire transfer, as
     specified in the Pricing Agreement, in the funds specified in such Pricing
     Agreement, all at the place and time and date specified in such Pricing
     Agreement with respect to Designated Securities not being sold pursuant to
     Delayed Delivery Contracts, or at such other place and time and date as the
     Representatives and the Company may agree upon in writing, such time and
     date being herein called the "Time of Delivery" for such Designated
     Securities.  The Company agrees to have the Designated Securities available
     for inspection, checking and packaging by the Representatives in New York,
     New York, not later than noon on the business day prior to the Time of
     Delivery for such Designated Securities.

     3.   Covenants of the Company.  In connection with each offering of
Designated Securities, the Company covenants and agrees with the Underwriters:

                                      -7-
<PAGE>
 
          (a) To cause the Prospectus Supplement to be filed pursuant to Rule
     424 under the Act and notify the Representatives promptly of such filing;
     to prepare and file with the Commission, after the date of the Pricing
     Agreement relating to such Securities and prior to the Time of Delivery for
     such Securities, promptly upon the request of the Representatives, any
     amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus
     which, in the reasonable opinion of the Representatives, may be necessary
     or advisable in connection with the distribution of such Securities by the
     Underwriters; to make no further amendment or any supplement to the
     Registration Statement or the Prospectus after the date of the Pricing
     Agreement relating to such Securities and prior to the Time of Delivery for
     such Securities which shall be reasonably disapproved by the
     Representatives for such Securities promptly after reasonable notice
     thereof; to advise the Representatives promptly of any amendment or
     supplement to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus after such Time
     of Delivery and furnish the Representatives with copies thereof and to file
     promptly all reports and any definitive proxy or information statements
     required to be filed by the Company with the Commission pursuant to Section
     13(a) or (c), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act for so long as the delivery
     of a prospectus is required in connection with the offering or sale of such
     Securities, and during such same period to advise the Representatives,
     promptly after it receives notice thereof, (i) of the time when any
     amendment to the Registration Statement has become effective or any
     supplement to the Prospectus or any amended Prospectus has been filed, (ii)
     of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order or of any order
     preventing or suspending the use of any Prospectus, (iii) of the suspension
     of the qualification of such Securities for offering or sale in any
     jurisdiction, (iv) of the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for
     any such purpose, or (v) of any request by the Commission for the amending
     or supplementing of the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or for
     additional information; and in the event of the issuance of any such stop
     order or of any such order preventing or suspending the use of any
     Prospectus or suspending any such qualification, to use promptly its best
     efforts to obtain its withdrawal.

          (b) Promptly from time to time to take such action as the
     Representatives may reasonably request to qualify such Securities for
     offering and sale under the securities laws of such jurisdictions as the
     Representatives may request and to comply with such laws so as to permit
     the continuance of sales and dealings therein in such jurisdictions for as
     long 

                                      -8-
<PAGE>
 
     as may be necessary to complete the distribution of such Securities,
     provided that in connection therewith the Company shall not be required to
     qualify as a foreign corporation or to file a general consent to service of
     process in any jurisdiction.  The Company will also arrange for the
     determination of the eligibility for investment for the Designated
     Securities under the laws of such jurisdictions as the Representatives may
     reasonably request.

          (c) To furnish the Underwriters with copies of the Prospectus in such
     quantities as the Representatives may from time to time reasonably request,
     and, if the delivery of a prospectus is required at any time prior to the
     expiration of nine months after the date of the Pricing Agreement in
     connection with the offering or sale of such Securities and if at such time
     any event shall have occurred as a result of which the Prospectus as then
     amended or supplemented would include an untrue statement of a material
     fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the
     statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were
     made when such Prospectus is delivered, not misleading, or, if for any
     other reason it shall be necessary during such same period to amend or
     supplement the Prospectus or to file under the Exchange Act any document
     incorporated by reference in the Prospectus in order to comply with the Act
     or the Trust Indenture Act, to notify the Representatives and upon their
     request to file such document and to prepare and furnish without charge to
     each Underwriter and to any dealer in securities as many copies as the
     Representatives may from time to time reasonably request of an amended
     Prospectus or a supplement to the Prospectus which will correct such
     statement or omission or effect such compliance.

          (d) To make generally available to its security holders as soon as
     practicable, but in any event not later than eighteen months after the date
     of each Pricing Agreement, an earnings statement of the Company and its
     consolidated subsidiaries (which need not be audited) complying with
     Section 11(a) of the Act and covering a period of at least twelve
     consecutive months beginning after the date of such Pricing Agreement.

          (e) During the period beginning from the date of the Pricing Agreement
     for such Securities and continuing to and including the earlier of (i) the
     termination of trading restrictions on such Securities of which termination
     the Representatives agree to give the Company prompt notice confirmed in

     Securities, not to offer, sell, publicly announce any intention to offer or
     sell, contract to sell or otherwise dispose of any debt securities of the
     Company (except under prior contractual commitments or pursuant to
     arrangements with banks or deposit taking institutions) denominated in U.S.
     dollars which mature more than one year after such Time of Delivery,
     without the prior consent of the Representatives, except pursuant to
     arrangements of which the Representatives have been advised by the Company
     prior to the time of execution of such Pricing Agreement, which advice is
     confirmed in writing to the Representatives by the end of the business day
     following the date of such Pricing Agreement.

          (f) To pay all expenses incident to the performance of the Company's
     obligations under this Agreement, including the expenses of printing all
     documents relating to the offering, and to reimburse the Underwriters for
     any expenses (including fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred by them
     in connection with the matters referred to in Section 3(b) hereof and the
     preparation of memoranda relating thereto, for any filing fee of the
     National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or of the New York Stock
     Exchange relating to the Designated Securities and for any fees charged by
     investment rating agencies for rating of the Designated Securities.

     4.   Conditions.  The obligations of the Underwriters of any Designated
Securities hereunder shall be subject, in the discretion of the Representatives,
to the accuracy of the representations and warranties on the part of the Company
herein, to the performance by the Company of its obligations hereunder and to
the following additional conditions:

          (a) No stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration
     Statement shall have been issued and no proceeding for that purpose shall
     have been initiated or, to the knowledge of the Company or any Underwriter,
     threatened by the Commission, and any request of the Commission for
     additional information (to be included in the Registration Statement or the
     Prospectus or otherwise) shall have been complied with or otherwise
     satisfied.

          (b) Counsel for the Underwriters, McDermott, Will & Emery, shall have
     furnished to the Representatives an opinion, dated the Time of Delivery of
     such Designated Securities, with respect to such matters as the
     Representatives may reasonably request, and such counsel shall have
     received such papers and information as they may 

                                      -10-
<PAGE>
 
     reasonably request to enable them to pass upon such matters. In rendering
     their opinion, such counsel may rely on certificates of the Trustee under
     the Designated Indenture as to the execution and authentication of the
     Designated Securities.

          (c) The General Counsel of the Company, or other counsel satisfactory
     to the Representatives in their reasonable judgment shall have furnished to
     the Representatives an opinion, dated the Time of Delivery of such
     Designated Securities, on the matters set forth in Exhibit A hereto.

          (d) The independent accountants of the Company who have certified the
     consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries
     included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall
     have furnished to the Representatives:

               (i) At or prior to the time of execution of the Pricing Agreement
          relating to the Designated Securities, a letter, dated the date of
          delivery thereof, to the effect set forth in Exhibit B hereto, except
          for paragraph (3)(c) thereof, with respect to the Registration
          Statement and the Prospectus at the time the Registration Statement
          became effective.

               (ii) At the Time of Delivery, a letter dated the Time of Delivery
          to the effect set forth in Exhibit B hereto, with respect to the
          Registration Statement and the Prospectus at the time of the Pricing
          Agreement relating to the Designated Securities and as to such other
          matters as the Representatives and the Company may have agreed upon at
          or prior to the execution of the Pricing Agreement, which letter may
          refer to the letter delivered pursuant to subsection (i) above and
          reconfirm the matters set forth therein.

          (e) Since the respective dates as of which information is given in the
     Prospectus there shall not have been any material change, on a consolidated
     basis, in the capital stock, short-term debt or long-term debt of the
     Company and its subsidiaries, or any material adverse change, or any
     development involving a prospective material adverse change, in the
     financing condition, earnings, business or properties of the Company and
     its subsidiaries taken as a whole, otherwise than as set forth or
     contemplated in the Prospectus, the effect of which, when viewed in
     relation to the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole, is so
     

                                      -11-
<PAGE>
 
     material and adverse as to make it impracticable or inadvisable, in the
     reasonable judgment of the Representatives, to proceed with the public
     offering or the delivery of the Designated Securities on the terms and in
     the manner contemplated in the Prospectus.

          (f) Subsequent to the date of the Pricing Agreement relating to the
     Designated Securities, no downgrading shall have occurred in the rating
     accorded to any of the Company's debt securities by Moody's Investors
     Service, Inc., Standard & Poor's Corporation or Duff & Phelps, Inc. and no
     such rating agency shall have announced publicly that it has placed any of
     such debt securities on what is commonly termed a "watch list" for possible
     downgrading.

          (g) Subsequent to the date of the Pricing Agreement relating to the
     Designated Securities, there shall not have occurred any of the following:
     (i) a suspension or material limitation in trading in securities generally
     on the New York Stock Exchange; (ii) a general moratorium on commercial
     banking activities in New York declared by either Federal or New York State
     authorities; or (iii) the outbreak or escalation of hostilities involving
     the United States or the declaration by the United States of a national
     emergency or war, the effect of which (in any such case described in clause
     (i), (ii) or (iii) hereof), in the reasonable judgment of the
     Representatives, makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the
     public offering or the delivery of the Designated Securities on the terms
     and in the manner contemplated in the Prospectus.

          (h) The Company shall have furnished or caused to be furnished to the
     Representatives at the Time of Delivery for the Designated Securities a
     certificate, signed by the Chairman of the Board, the President or any Vice
     President, and by the principal financial or accounting officer, dated the
     Time of Delivery, to the effect that, to the best of their knowledge based
     upon reasonable investigation:

               (i)  The representations and warranties of the Company in this
          Agreement are true and correct, as if made at and as of the Time of
          Delivery, and the Company has complied in all material respects with
          all obligations on its part to be performed at or prior to the Time of
          Delivery;

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

                                      -12-
<PAGE>
 
          the knowledge of the Company, is threatened by the Commission; and

               (iii)  Since the date of the Pricing Agreement relating to the
          Designated Securities, there has occurred no event required to be set
          forth in an amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or
          the Prospectus which has not been so set forth, and there has been no
          document required to be filed under the Exchange Act and the rules and
          regulations thereunder that upon such filing would be deemed to be
          incorporated by reference in the Prospectus that has not been so
          filed.

          (i) The Company shall have furnished to the Representatives such
     further certificates and documents as they shall have reasonably requested.

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

     5.   Indemnification and Contribution.

          (a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter
     and each person who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of either
     the Act or the Exchange Act against any and all losses, claims, damages or
     liabilities, joint or several, to which they or any of them may become
     subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or other Federal or state statutory
     law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses,
     claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of
     or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a
     material fact contained in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or
     any amendment or supplement thereto (or contained in the Registration
     Statement after it first became effective but prior to the Pricing
     Agreement or in any prospectus forming a part thereof during such period),
     or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state
     therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
     the statements therein not misleading, and agrees to reimburse each such
     indemnified party for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by
     then in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim,
     damage, liability or action; 

                                      -13-
<PAGE>
 
     provided, however, that (i) the Company will not be liable in any such case
     to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of
     or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or
     omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in
     conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on
     behalf of any Underwriter through the Representatives specifically for use
     in connection with the preparation thereof, and (ii) such indemnity with
     respect to any prospectus forming a part of the Registration Statement
     prior to the Pricing Agreement (the "Preliminary Prospectus") shall not
     inure to the benefit of any Underwriter (or any person controlling such
     Underwriter) from whom the person asserting any such loss, claim, damage or
     liability purchased the Designated Securities which are the subject thereof
     if such person did not receive a copy of the Prospectus (or the Prospectus
     as amended or supplemented) excluding documents incorporated therein by
     reference at or prior to the confirmation of the sale of such Designated
     Securities to such person in any case where such delivery is required by
     the Act and the untrue statement or omission of a material fact contained
     in the Preliminary Prospectus was corrected in the Prospectus (or the
     Prospectus as amended or supplemented). This indemnity agreement will be in
     addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have.

          (b) Each Underwriter severally agrees (i) to indemnify and hold
     harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signs
     the Registration Statement, and each person who controls the Company within
     the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, to the same extent as
     the foregoing indemnity from the Company to each Underwriter, but only with
     reference to written information relating to such Underwriter furnished to
     the Company by or on behalf of such Underwriter through the Representatives
     specifically for use in the preparation of the documents referred to in the
     foregoing indemnity and (ii) to reimburse each such indemnified party for
     any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with
     investigating or defending any loss, claim, damage, liability or action on
     which a claim for indemnity is validly made pursuant to this sentence.
     This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which any
     Underwriter may otherwise have.  The Company acknowledges that the
     statements set forth in the last paragraph of the cover page and under the
     heading "Underwriting" or "Plan of Distribution" in the Preliminary
     Prospectus or the Prospectus constitute the only information furnished in
     writing by or on behalf of the several 

                                      -14-
<PAGE>
 
     Underwriters for inclusion in the documents referred to in the foregoing
     indemnity, and you, as the Representatives, confirm that such statements
     are correct.

          (c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section
     5 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will,
     if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party
     under this Section 5, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the
     commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party
     will not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified
     party otherwise than under this Section 5.  In case any such action is
     brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies the indemnifying
     party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled
     to participate therein, and to the extent that it may elect by written
     notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the
     aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense
     thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided,
     however, that if the defendants in any such action include both the
     indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party
     shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available
     to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or
     additional to those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified
     party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assert
     such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such
     action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties.  Upon receipt of
     notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its
     election so to assume the defense of such action and approval by the
     indemnified party of counsel, the indemnifying party will not be liable to
     such indemnified party under this Section 5 for any legal or other expenses
     subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the
     defense thereof unless (i) the indemnified party shall have employed
     separate counsel in connection with the assertion of legal defenses in
     accordance with the proviso to the next preceding sentence (it being
     understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be liable for
     the expenses of more than one separate counsel, approved by the
     Representatives in the case of paragraph (a) of this Section 5,
     representing the indemnified parties under such paragraph (a) who are
     parties to such action), (ii) the indemnifying party shall not have
     employed counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the
     indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of
     the action or (iii) the 

                                      -15-
<PAGE>
 
     indemnifying party has authorized the employment of counsel for the
     indemnified party at the expense of the indemnifying party; and except
     that, if clause (i) or (iii) is applicable, such liability shall be only in
     respect of the counsel referred to in such clause (i) or (iii).

          (d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 5 is
     unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under
     subsection (a) or (b) above in respect of any losses, claims, damages or
     liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each
     indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such
     indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or
     liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is
     appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the
     one hand and the Underwriters on the other from the offering of the
     Designated Securities to which such loss, claim, damage or liability (or
     action in respect thereof) relates.  If, however, the allocation provided
     by the immediately preceding sentence in not permitted by applicable law,
     then each indemnifying party shall contribute to such amount paid or
     payable by such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to
     reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the
     Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other in connection
     with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims,
     damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any
     other relevant equitable considerations.  The relative benefits received by
     the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other shall be
     deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds form the sale
     of Designated Securities (before deducting expenses) received by the
     Company bear to the total discounts received by the Underwriters in respect
     thereof.  The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among
     other things, whether the indemnified party failed to give the notice
     required under subsection (c) above, including the consequences of such
     failure, and whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material
     fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required
     to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein
     not misleading relates to information supplied by the Company on the one
     hand or by the Underwriters, directly or through the Representatives, on
     the other and the relative intent, knowledge, access to information and
     opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission, of the
     Company on the one hand or the Underwriters, directly or through the
     Representatives, on 

                                      -16-
<PAGE>
 
     the other. The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just
     and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection (d) were
     determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation
     which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to
     above in this subsection (d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified
     party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions
     in respect thereof) referred to above in this subsection (d) shall be
     deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such
     indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such
     action or claim (which shall be limited as provided in subsection (c) above
     if the indemnifying party has assumed the defense of any such action in
     accordance with the provisions thereof). Notwithstanding the provisions of
     this subsection (d), no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any
     amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the
     Designated Securities purchased by or through it were sold exceeds the
     amount of any damages which such Underwriter has otherwise been required to
     pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or
     alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within
     the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution
     from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
     The obligations of the Underwriters in this subsection (d) to contribute
     are several in proportion to their respective underwriting obligations and
     not joint. For purposes of this Section 5, each person who controls an
     Underwriter within the meaning of the Act shall have the same rights to
     contribution as such Underwriter, and each person who controls the Company
     within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, each officer of
     the Company who shall have signed the Registration Statement or any
     amendment thereto and each director of the Company shall have the same
     rights to contribution as the Company. Any party entitled to contribution
     will, promptly after receipt of notice of commencement of any action, suit
     or proceeding against such party in respect of which a claim for
     contribution may be made against another party or parties under this
     subsection (d), notify such party or parties from whom contribution may be
     sought, but the omission to so notify such party or parties shall not
     relieve the party or parties from whom contribution may be sought from any
     other obligation it or they may have hereunder or otherwise than under
     subsection (d).

                                      -17-

     6.   Default of Underwriters.

          (a) If any Underwriter shall default in its obligation to purchase the
     Designated Securities which it has agreed to purchase under the Pricing
     Agreement relating to such Designated Securities, the Representatives may
     in their discretion arrange for themselves or another party or other
     parties to purchase such Designated Securities on the terms contained
     herein.  If within thirty-six hours after such default by any Underwriter
     the Representatives shall not have arranged for the purchase of such
     Designated Securities then the Company shall be entitled to a further
     period of thirty-six hours to provide another party or such other parties
     as shall be satisfactory to the Representatives to purchase such Designated
     Securities on such terms.  In the event that, within the respective
     prescribed periods the Representatives notify the Company that they have so
     arranged for the purchase of such Designated Securities, or the Company
     shall have notified the Representatives that it has so arranged for the
     purchase of such Designated Securities the Representatives or the Company
     shall have the right to postpone the Time of Delivery for such Designated
     Securities for a period of not more than seven days in order to effect
     whatever changes may thereby be made necessary in the Registration
     Statement or the Prospectus, or in any other documents or arrangements, and
     the Company agrees to file promptly any amendments or supplements to the
     Registration Statement or the Prospectus which in the opinion of the
     Representatives may thereby be made necessary.  The term "Underwriter" as
     used in this Agreement shall include any person substituted under this
     Section 6 with like effect as if such person had originally been a party to
     the Pricing Agreement with respect to such Designated Securities.

          (b) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of
     the Designated Securities of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by
     the Representatives or the company as provided in subsection (a) above, the
     aggregate principal amount of such Designated Securities which remains
     unpurchased does not exceed one-eleventh of the aggregate principal amount
     of the Designated Securities, then the Company shall have the right to
     require each non-defaulting Underwriter to purchase the principal amount of
     Designated Securities which such Underwriter agreed to purchase under the
     Pricing Agreement relating to such Designated securities, and, in addition,
     to require each non-defaulting Underwriter to purchase its pro rata share
     (based on the principal amount of Designated Securities which such

                                      -18-
<PAGE>
 
     Underwriter agreed to purchase under such Pricing Agreement) of the
     Designated Securities of such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters for
     which such arrangements have not been made; but nothing herein shall
     relieve a defaulting Underwriter from liability for its default.

          (c) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of
     the Designated Securities of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by
     the Representatives or the Company as provided in subsection (a) above, the
     aggregate principal amount of Designated Securities which remains
     unpurchased exceeds one-eleventh of the aggregate principal amount of the
     Designated Securities, or if the Company shall not exercise the right
     described in subsection (b) above to require non-defaulting Underwriters to
     purchase Designated Securities of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters,
     then the Pricing Agreement relating to such Designated Securities shall
     thereupon terminate, without liability on the part of any non-defaulting
     Underwriters or the Company, except for the expenses to be borne by the
     Company and the Underwriters as provided in Section 3(f) hereof and the
     indemnity and contribution agreements in Section 5 hereof; but nothing
     herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter from liability for its
     default.

     7.   Survival of Indemnities, Representations, etc.  The respective
indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties, covenants and other
statements of the Company, as set forth in this Agreement or made by or on
behalf of it pursuant to this Agreement, and the agreements of the several
Underwriters contained in Section 5 hereof, shall remain in full force and
effect, regardless of any investigation (or any statement as to the results
thereof) made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or any controlling person of
any Underwriter, or the Company, or any officer or director or controlling
person of the Company, and shall survive delivery of and payment for the
Securities.

     8.   Reimbursement of Underwriters' Expenses.  If any Pricing Agreement
shall be terminated pursuant to Section 6 hereof or if the Designated Securities
are not delivered by or on behalf of the Company because of any of the events
referred to in Section 4(h) hereof, then the Company shall not then be under any
liability to any Underwriter with respect to Designated Securities covered by
such Pricing Agreement except as provided in Section 3(f) and Section 5 hereof;
but, if for any other reason Designated securities are not delivered by or on
behalf of the Company as provided herein, the company will reimburse the
Underwriters through the Representatives for all out-of-pocket expenses approved
in writing by the Representatives, including 

                                      -19-
<PAGE>
 
fees and disbursements of counsel, reasonably incurred by the Underwriters in
making preparations for the purchase, sale and delivery of such Designated
Securities, but the Company shall then be under no further liability to any
Underwriter with respect to such Designated Securities except as provided in
Section 3 (f) and Section 5 hereof.

     9.   Representatives; Notices.  In all dealings hereunder, the
Representatives of the Underwriters of Designated Securities shall act on behalf
of each of such Underwriters, and the parties hereto shall be entitled to act
and rely upon any statement, request, notice, waiver or agreement on behalf of
any Underwriter made or given by such Representative.

     All statements, requests, notices and agreements hereunder shall be in
writing or by telegram if promptly confirmed in writing and if to the
Underwriters shall be sufficient in all respects, if delivered or sent by
registered mail to the address of the Representatives as set forth in the
Pricing Agreement; and if to the Company shall be sufficient in all respects if
delivered or sent by registered mail to the address of the Company set forth in
the Registration Statement: Attention: Secretary; provided, however, that any
notice to an Underwriter pursuant to Section 5(c) hereof shall be delivered or
sent by registered mail to such Underwriter at its address furnished to the
Company in writing for the purpose of communications hereunder.  Any party to
this Agreement may change such address for notices by sending to the other
parties written notice of a new address for such purpose.

     10.  Binding Effect; Successors.  This Agreement shall be binding upon, and
inure solely to the benefits of, the Underwriters, the Company and, to the
extent provided in Section 5 and Section 7 hereof, the officers and directors of
the Company and each person who controls the Company or any Underwriter, and
their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns, and
no other person shall acquire or have any right under or by virtue of this
Agreement or any such Pricing Agreement.  No purchaser of any of the Securities
from any Underwriter shall be deemed a successor or assign by reason merely of
such purchase.

     11.  Applicable Law.  These Basic Provisions and each Pricing Agreement
shall be construed in accordance with the law of the State of New York.

                                      -20-

     12.  Counterparts.  Each Pricing Agreement may be executed by any one or
more of the parties hereto and thereto in any number of counterparts, each of
which shall be deemed to be an original, but all such respective counterparts
shall together constitute one and the same instrument.

                      Matters to be Covered by Opinion of
                                Company Counsel


     (i)  The Company has been duly incorporated and is validly existing as a
corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, with
corporate power and authority under the laws of such State to own its properties

the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder; such counsel does not
believe that the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, as of the time of the
Prospectus Supplement and the time of delivery contains any untrue statement of
a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, other than financial
statements and other financial data therein, as to which such counsel need

Designated Indenture and the sale thereof in accordance with this Agreement will
not, and at the date of such opinion the sale of any thereof covered by Delayed
Delivery Contracts would not, result in any violation of any of the provisions
of the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws or of any
indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, lease financing agreement or
other similar agreement or instrument known to such counsel by which the
Company, or any of its subsidiaries, is bound;

subsidiaries, of a character required to be disclosed in the Registration
Statement which is not adequately disclosed in the Prospectus, and there is no
contract or other document of a character required to be described in the

                      Matters to be Covered by Letters of
                    Independent Accountants to the Company

     (1) They are independent accountants within the meaning of the Act and
the Exchange Act and the respective applicable published rules and regulations
of the Commission thereunder.

     (2) In their opinion, the audited financial statements and financial
statement schedules of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries included or
incorporated in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus and reported on by
them comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable accounting
requirements of the Act and the Exchange Act and the related published rules and
regulations of the Commission thereunder;

     (3) On the basis of a reading of the amounts included or incorporated
in the Registration Statement and the Final Prospectus in response to Item 301
of Regulation S-K and of the latest unaudited financial statements made
available by the Company and its subsidiaries; their limited review in
accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified
Public Accountants of the unaudited interim financial information; carrying out
certain specified procedures (but not an examination in accordance with
generally accepted auditing standards) which would not necessarily reveal
matters of significance with respect to the comments set forth in such letter; a
reading of the minutes (or drafts thereof where approved minutes were not
available) of the meetings of the stockholders, directors and executive
committees of the Company; and inquiries of certain officials of the Company who
have responsibility for financial and accounting matters of the Company and its
subsidiaries as to transactions and events subsequent to the date of the most
recent audited financial statements incorporated in the Registration Statement
and the Prospectus, nothing came to their attention which caused them to believe
that:

          (a) The amounts in the "Selected Financial Data" included or
     incorporated in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, do not agree
     with the corresponding amounts in the audited or the unaudited financial
     statements from which such amounts were derived, except that, with respect
     to the amounts representing the ratio of earnings to fixed charges for each
     period presented, such amounts are not accurately derived from worksheets
     prepared by the Company;

                                      B-1
<PAGE>
 
          (b) Any unaudited financial statements of the Company and its
     subsidiaries included or incorporated in the Registration Statement and the
     Prospectus do not comply as to form in all material respects with
     applicable accounting requirements and with the published rules and
     regulations of the Commission with respect to financial statements included
     or incorporated in quarterly reports on Form 10-Q under the Exchange Act;
     or such unaudited financial statements are not in conformity with generally
     accepted accounting principles applied on a basis substantially consistent
     with that of the audited financial statements included or incorporated in
     the Registration Statement and the Prospectus; or

          (c) With respect to the period subsequent to the date of the most
     recent financial statements included or incorporated in the Registration
     Statement and the Prospectus, there was, at a specified date not more than
     five business days prior to the date of the letter, any change in the
     capital stock or any increase in the total short-term or total long-tern
     debt of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries or there were, as of
     the month-end date prior to the date of the letter for which financial
     statements of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries are available,
     any decreases in its consolidated total assets or its stockholders' equity,

     consolidated balance sheet included or incorporated in the Registration

     recent financial statements included or incorporated in the Registration
     Statement and the Final Prospectus to such month-end date there were any
     decreases, as compared with the corresponding period in the preceding year,
     in total revenue or income before income taxes or in the total income of
     the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries, except in all instances for
     changes or decreases set forth in such letter, in which case the letter
     shall be accompanied by an explanation by the Company as to the
     significance thereof unless said explanation is not deemed necessary by the
     Representatives; or

          (d) The amounts included in any unaudited "capsule" information
     included or incorporated in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus
     do not agree with the amounts set forth in the unaudited financial
     statements for the same periods or were not determined on a basis
     substantially consistent with that of the corresponding amounts in the
     audited financial statements included or incorporated in the Registration
     Statement and the Prospectus, and

     (4) They have performed certain other specified procedures as a result of
which they determined that certain information of an accounting, financial or
statistical nature (which is limited to accounting, financial or statistical
information derived from the general accounting records of the Company) set
forth or incorporated in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, and in
Exhibit 12 to the Registration Statement, including the information included or
incorporated in Items 1 and 7 of the Company's annual report on Form 10-K,

incorporated herein by reference in its entirety, and shall be deemed to be a
part of this Agreement to the same extent as if such provisions had been set
forth in full herein; and each of the representations and warranties set forth
therein shall be deemed to have been made at and as of the date of this Pricing
Agreement.  Each reference to the Representatives herein and in the provisions
of the Basic Provisions so incorporated by reference shall be deemed to refer to
you.  Capitalized terms used herein, unless otherwise defined herein, have the
meanings provided in the Basic Provisions.

     The Company has delivered to you for each of the Underwriters copies
of the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, including the documents
incorporated therein by reference.  The Prospectus Supplement relating to the
Designated Securities, in the form heretofore delivered to you, is now proposed
to be filed, or mailed for filing, with the Commission.

     Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Basic
Provisions, the Company agrees to issue and sell to each of the Underwriters,
and each of the Underwriters agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase from
the Company, at the purchase price to the Underwriters set forth in Schedule II

     [The Company authorizes the Underwriters to solicit offers to purchase
Designated Securities from the Company pursuant to Delayed Delivery Contracts
substantially in the form of Schedule III hereto but with such changes therein
as the Company may approve.  The Underwriters will endeavor to make such
arrangements and, as compensation therefor, the Company will pay to the
Representatives, for the account of the Underwriters, at the Time of Delivery a
commission in the amount set forth in Schedule II hereto.  Delayed Delivery
Contracts are to be with purchasers of the types approved by the Company and set
forth in the Prospectus and subject to other conditions therein set forth.
Except as the Company may otherwise agree, each Delayed Delivery Contract must
be for the minimum principal amount set forth in Schedule II hereto and the
aggregate principal amount of all Delayed Delivery Contracts may not exceed the
amount set forth in such Schedule II.  The Underwriters will not have any
responsibility in respect of the validity or performance of any Delayed Delivery
Contracts.]

     [If the Company executes and delivers Delayed Delivery Contracts, the
Securities subject to such contracts shall be deducted from the Designated
Securities to be purchased by the several Underwriters and the aggregate
principal amount of Designated Securities to be purchased by each Underwriter
shall be reduced pro rata in proportion to the principal amount of Designated
Securities set forth opposite each Underwriter's name in Schedule I hereto,
except to the extent that the Representatives determine that such reduction
shall be otherwise and so advise the Company in writing; provided, however, that
the total principal amount of Designated Securities to be purchased by all
Underwriters shall be the total principal amount of Designated Securities set
forth in Schedule I hereto less the principal amount of Designated Securities
covered by Delayed Delivery Contracts.  The Company will advise you not later
than 10:00 A.M., New York City time, on the third full business day preceding
the Time of Delivery (or at such later time as you may otherwise agree) of the
sales of Designated Securities pursuant to Delayed Delivery Contracts which have
been so approved.]

     hereunder, a Security which is executed by the Company and authenticated
     and delivered by the Trustee to the Depositary or pursuant to the
     Depositary's instruction, all in accordance with this Indenture and an
     indenture supplemental hereto, if any, or Board Resolution and pursuant to
     a Company Order, which shall be registered in the name of the Depositary or
     its nominee and which shall represent, and shall be denominated in an
     amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of, all of the Outstanding

     basis of the most recently available Market Exchange Rate or as otherwise
     indicated in a pricing supplement to a prospectus describing the

          D.  Section 2.01 is amended to add the words "or forms" after the word
"form" in the first sentence of such Section.

          E.  Article Two is amended to add a new Section 2.03, which reads in
its entirety as follows:

          Section 2.03 Securities Issuable in the Form of a Global Security. (a)
     If the Company shall establish pursuant to Section 3.01 that the Securities
     of a particular series are to be issued in whole or in part in the form of
     one or more Global Securities, then the Company shall execute and the
     Trustee shall, in accordance with Section 3.03 and the Company Order
     delivered to

                                       3
<PAGE>
 
     the Trustee thereunder, authenticate and deliver, such Global Security or
     Securities, which (i) shall represent, and shall be denominated in an
     amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of, the Outstanding
     Securities of such series to be represented by such Global Security or
     Securities, (ii) shall be registered in the name of the Depositary for such
     Global Security or Securities or its nominee, (iii) shall be delivered by
     the Trustee to the Depositary or pursuant to the Depositary's instruction
     and (iv) shall bear a legend substantially to the following effect: "Unless
     and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for the individual Securities
     represented hereby, this 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 another nominee of the Depositary or by
     the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee
     of such successor Depositary.

          (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.03 or of
     Section 3.05, subject to the provisions of paragraph (c) below, unless the
     terms of a Global Security expressly permit such Global Security to be
     exchanged in whole or in part for individual securities, a Global Security
     may be transferred, in whole but not in part and in the manner provided in
     Section 3.05, only to a nominee of the Depositary for such Global Security,
     or to the Depositary, or a successor Depositary for such Global Security
     selected or approved by the Company, or to a nominee of such successor
     Depositary.

          (c) (i) If at any time the Depositary for a Global Security notifies
     the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for
     such Global Security or if at any time the Depositary for the Securities
     for such series shall no longer be eligible or in good standing under the
     Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or other applicable statute or
     regulation, the Company shall appoint a Depositary with respect to such
     Global Security. If a successor Depositary for such Global Security is not
     appointed by the Company within 90 days after the Company receives such
     notice or becomes aware of such ineligibility, the Company will execute,
     and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and
     delivery of individual Securities of such series in exchange for such
     Global Security, will authenticate and deliver individual Securities of
     such series of like tenor and terms in definitive form in an aggregate
     principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security in
     exchange for such Global Security.

          (ii) The Company may at any time and in its sole discretion determine
     that the Securities of any series issued or issuable in the form of one or
     more Global Securities shall no longer be represented by such Global
     Security or Securities.  In such event the Company will execute, and the
     Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and
     delivery 

                                       4
<PAGE>
 
     of individual Securities of such series in exchange in whole or in
     part for such Global Security, will authenticate and deliver individual
     Securities of such series of like tenor and terms in definitive form in an
     aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Global
     Security or Securities representing such series in exchange for such Global
     Security or Securities.

          (iii)  If specified by the Company pursuant to Section 3.01 with
     respect to Securities issued or issuable in the form of a Global Security,
     the Depositary for such Global Security may surrender such Global Security
     in exchange in whole or in part for individual securities or such series of
     like tenor and terms in definitive 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, (l) to
     each Person specified by such Depositary a new Security or Securities of
     the same series of like tenor and terms and of any authorized denomination
     as requested by such Person in aggregate principal amount equal to and in
     exchange for such Person's beneficial interest in the Global Security; and
     (2) to such Depositary a new Global Security of like tenor and terms and in
     an authorized denomination equal to the difference, if any, between the
     principal amount of the surrendered Global Security and the aggregate
     principal amount of Securities delivered to Holders thereof.

          (iv)  In any exchange provided for in any of the preceding three
     paragraphs, the Company will execute and the Trustee will authenticate and
     deliver individual Securities in definitive registered form in authorized
     denominations.  Upon the exchange of a Global Security for individual
     Securities, such Global Security shall be canceled by the Trustee.
     Securities issued in exchange for a Global Security pursuant to this
     Section 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 the
     persons in whose names such Securities are so registered.

          F.  Section 3.01 is amended to (i) add Section 2.03 to the sections
referred to in the parenthetical exception to paragraph (b) of Section 3.01,
(ii) redesignate paragraphs (q), (r), (s), (t), (u) and (v) as paragraphs (r),
(s), (t), (u), (v) and (w), respectively, and (iii) add new paragraph (q) as
follows:

          (q)  whether the Securities of the series shall be issued in whole or
     in part in the form of a Global Security or Securities; the terms and
     conditions, if any, upon which such Global Security or Securities may be
     exchanged in whole or in part for other individual Securities; and the
     Depositary for such Global Security or Securities; and

                                       5

is amended and restated to read as follows:

          If all the Securities of any one series are not to be issued at one
     time (i) the Trustee shall be entitled to assume that, at the time of the
     issuance of such Securities, the terms of such Securities do not violate
     any applicable law or agreement then binding on the Company, and (ii) it
     shall not be necessary to deliver a Board Resolution, an executed
     supplemental indenture, if any, an Officer's Certificate or an Opinion of
     Counsel at the time of issuance of each Security, but such Board
     Resolution, supplemental indenture, if any, Officer's Certificate and
     Opinion of Counsel shall be delivered at or prior to the time of issuance
     of the first Security of such series and the Trustee lay conclusively rely
     on such documents as to the matters covered thereby until revoked by
     superseding comparable documents delivered to it.

          H.  The first sentence of Section 3.05 is amended and restated to
read as follows:

          Subject to Section 2.03, Securities of any series may be exchanged
     for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of the same series of
     other authorized denominations of a like Stated Maturity and with like
     terms and provisions.

          I.  The following paragraph is added at the end of Section 3.05:

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

          J.  Paragraphs (a) and (b) of Section 3.12 are amended and
restated to read as follows:

     (a)  With respect to Registered Securities of any series not permitting
the election provided for in paragraph (b) below or the Holders of which have
not made the election provided for in paragraph (b) below, the following payment
provision will apply:

          (1) Except as provided in paragraph (e) below, payment of the
     principal of (and premium, if any) on any Registered Security will be made
     at the Place of Payment by delivery of a check of checks in Dollars, unless
     any Holder has elected to receive payment in any Foreign Currency, in which
     case, payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) on any Registered
     

                                       6
<PAGE>
 
     Security will be made at the Place of Payment by delivery of a check or
     checks in the currency or currency unit in which the Security is payable on
     the payment date against surrender of such Registered Security, and any
     interest on any Fully Registered Security will be paid at the Place of
     Payment by bailing a check or checks in the currency or currency unit in
     which such interest is payable to the Person entitled thereto at the
     address of such Person appearing on the Securities Register.

          (2) Payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and (with-
     respect to Fully Registered Securities only) interest on such Security may
     also, subject to applicable laws and regulations, be made at such other
     place or places as may be designated by the Company by any appropriate
     method and in such other manner as may be agreed by the Company and any
     Holder.

     (b) It may be provided pursuant to Section 3.01 with respect to the
Registered Securities of any series that Holders shall have the option, subject
to paragraphs (e) and (f) below, to receive payments of principal of (and
premium, if any) and (with respect to Fully Registered Securities only)
interest, if any, on such Security in any of the currencies or currency units
which may be designated for such election by delivering to the Paying Agent a
written election, to be in form and substance satisfactory to the Paying Agent
on or prior to the applicable record date or at least 15 calendar days prior to
maturity, as the case may be. If a Holder so elects to receive such payments in
any such currency or currency unit, such election will remain in effect for such
Holder until changed by such Holder by delivery of a written notice to the
Paying Agent but the Paying Agent must receive written notice of any change on
or prior to the applicable record date or at least 15 calendar days prior to
maturity, as the case may be, to be effective for the payment to be made on such
payment date and no such change or election may be made with respect to payments
to be made on any Security of such series with respect to which notice of
redemption has been given by the Company pursuant to Article IV). Any Holder of
any such Security who shall not have delivered any such election to the Paying
Agent not later than the close of business on the applicable Election Date will
be paid the amount due on the applicable payment date in the relevant currency
or currency unit as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section 3.12. Payment of
principal of (and premium, if any) and (with respect to Fully Registered
Securities only) interest, if any, on such Security shall be made at the Place
of Payment by mailing at such location a check, in the applicable currency or
currency unit to the Person entitled thereto at the address of such Person
appearing on the Securities Register. Payment of the principal of, premium, if
any, and (with respect to Fully Registered Securities only) interest, if any, on
such Security may also, subject to applicable laws and regulations, be made at
such other place or places as may be designated by the Company by any
appropriate method.

notice specifying, in the currency or currency unit in which each series of the
Securities are payable, the respective aggregate amounts of principal of (and
premium, if any) and interest, if any, on the Securities to be made on such
payment date, specifying the amounts so payable in respect of Fully Registered
Securities, Registered Securities with Coupons and Unregistered Securities and
in respect of the Registered Securities as to which the Holders of Securities
denominated in any currency or currency unit shall have elected to be paid in
another currency or currency unit as provided in paragraph (b) above. If the
election referred to in paragraph (b) above has been provided for pursuant to
Section 3.01 and if at least one Holder has made such election, then, on the
second Business day preceding each payment date the Company will deliver to the
Paying Agent an Exchange Rate Officer's Certificate in respect of the Dollar,
Foreign Currency or currency unit payments to be made on such payment date. The
Dollar, Foreign Currency or currency unit amount receivable by Holders of
Registered Securities who have elected payment in a currency or currency unit as
provided in paragraph (b) above shall be determined by the Company on the basis
of the applicable Market Exchange Rate in effect on the second Business Day (the
"Valuation Date") immediately preceding each payment date.

          L.  Paragraph (g) of Section 3.12 is amended and restated to read as
follows:

          (g) The "Dollar Equivalent of the Foreign Currency" shall be
determined by the Exchange Rate Agent, if any, or, if there shall not be an
Exchange Rate Agent, then by the Trustee, on the basis of the most recently
available Market Exchange Rate, or as otherwise indicated in a pricing
supplement to a prospectus describing the Securities.

          M.  The first sentence of Section 8.14 is amended and restated to read
as follows:

     The Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent for each series of

repayment, purchase, exchange or registration of transfer or for credit against
any sinking fund shall, if surrendered to the Company or any Paying Agent or any
Securities Registrar, be surrendered to the Securities Registrar and promptly
canceled by it, or, if surrendered to the Securities Registrar, shall be
promptly canceled by it, and no Securities or Coupons shall be issued in lieu
thereof except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. The Securities
Registrar shall destroy canceled Securities and Coupons in accordance with a
Company Order and deliver a certificate of such destruction to the Company
unless, by a Company Order, the Company directs that such canceled Securities
and Coupons be returned to the Company.

       E.  Article Two is amended to add a new Section 2.03, which reads in 
its entirety as follows:

          Section 2.03 Securities Issuable in the Form of a Global Security. (a)
     If the Company shall establish pursuant to Section 3.01 that the Securities
     of a particular series are to be issued in whole or in part in the form of
     one or more Global Securities, then the Company shall execute and the
     Trustee shall, in accordance with Section 3.03 and the Company Order
     delivered to 

                                       3
<PAGE>
 
     the Trustee thereunder, authenticate and deliver, such Global Security or
     Securities, which (i) shall represent, and shall be denominated in an
     amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of, the Outstanding
     Securities of such series to be represented by such Global Security or
     Securities, (ii) shall be registered in the name of the Depositary for such
     Global Security or Securities or its nominee, (iii) shall be delivered by
     the Trustee to the Depositary or pursuant to the Depositary's instruction
     and (iv) shall bear a legend substantially to the following effect: "Unless
     and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for the individual Securities
     represented hereby, this 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 another nominee of the Depositary or by
     the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee
     of such successor Depositary.

          (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.03 or of
     Section 3.05, subject to the provisions of paragraph (c) below, unless the
     terms of a Global Security expressly permit such Global Security to be
     exchanged in whole or in part for individual securities, a Global Security
     may be transferred, in whole but not in part and in the manner provided in
     Section 3.05, only to a nominee of the Depositary for such Global Security,
     or to the Depositary, or a successor Depositary for such Global Security
     selected or approved by the Company, or to a nominee of such successor
     Depositary.

          (c) (i) If at any time the Depositary for a Global Security notifies
     the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for
     such Global Security or if at any time the Depositary for the Securities
     for such series shall no longer be eligible or in good standing under the
     Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or other applicable statute or
     regulation, the Company shall appoint a Depositary with respect to such
     Global Security. If a successor Depositary for such Global Security is not
     appointed by the Company within 90 days after the Company receives such
     notice or becomes aware of such ineligibility, the Company will execute,
     and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and
     delivery of individual Securities of such series in exchange for such
     Global Security, will authenticate and deliver individual Securities of
     such series of like tenor and terms in definitive form in an aggregate
     principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security in
     exchange for such Global Security.

          (ii) The Company may at any time and in its sole discretion determine
     that the Securities of any series issued or issuable in the form of one or
     more Global Securities shall no longer be represented by such Global
     Security or Securities.  In such event the Company will execute, and the
     Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and
     delivery 

                                       4
<PAGE>
 
     of individual Securities of such series in exchange in whole or in part for
     such Global Security, will authenticate and deliver individual Securities
     of such series of like tenor and terms in definitive form in an aggregate
     principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Global Security or
     Securities representing such series in exchange for such Global Security or
     Securities.

          (iii)  If specified by the Company pursuant to Section 3.01 with
     respect to Securities issued or issuable in the form of a Global Security,
     the Depositary for such Global Security may surrender such Global Security
     in exchange in whole or in part for individual securities or such series of
     like tenor and terms in definitive 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, (l) to
     each Person specified by such Depositary a new Security or Securities of
     the same series of like tenor and terms and of any authorized denomination
     as requested by such Person in aggregate principal amount equal to and in
     exchange for such Person's beneficial interest in the Global Security; and
     (2) to such Depositary a new Global Security of like tenor and terms and in
     an authorized denomination equal to the difference, if any, between the
     principal amount of the surrendered Global Security and the aggregate
     principal amount of Securities delivered to Holders thereof.

          (iv) In any exchange provided for in any of the preceding three
     paragraphs, the Company will execute and the Trustee will authenticate and
     deliver individual Securities in definitive registered form in authorized
     denominations. Upon the exchange of a Global Security for individual
     Securities, such Global Security shall be canceled by the Trustee.
     Securities issued in exchange for a Global Security pursuant to this
     Section 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 the
     persons in whose names such Securities are so registered.

          F.  Section 3.01 is amended to (i) add Section 2.03 to the sections
referred to in the parenthetical exception to paragraph (b) of Section 3.01,
(ii) redesignate paragraphs (q), (r), (s), (t), (u) and (v) as paragraphs (r),
(s), (t), (u), (v) and (w), respectively, and (iii) add new paragraph (q) as
follows:

          (q) whether the Securities of the series shall be issued in whole or
     in part in the form of a Global Security or Securities; the terms and
     conditions, if any, upon which such Global Security or Securities may be
     exchanged in whole or in part for other individual Securities; and the
     Depositary for such Global Security or Securities; and

                                       5

is amended and restated to read as follows:

          If all the Securities of any one series are not to be issued at one
     time (i) the Trustee shall be entitled to assume that, at the time of the
     issuance of such Securities, the terms of such Securities do not violate
     any applicable law or agreement then binding on the Company, and (ii) it
     shall not be necessary to deliver a Board Resolution, an executed
     supplemental indenture, if any, an Officer's Certificate or an Opinion of
     Counsel at the time of issuance of each Security, but such Board
     Resolution, supplemental indenture, if any, Officer's Certificate and
     Opinion of Counsel shall be delivered at or prior to the time of issuance
     of the first Security of such series and the Trustee lay conclusively rely
     on such documents as to the matters covered thereby until revoked by
     superseding comparable documents delivered to it.

          H.  The first sentence of Section 3.05 is amended and restated to read
as follows:

     Subject to Section 2.03, Securities of any series may be exchanged for a
     like aggregate principal amount of Securities of the same series of other
     authorized denominations of a like Stated Maturity and with like terms and
     provisions.

          I.  The following paragraph is added at the end of Section 3.05:

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

          J.  Paragraphs (a) and (b) of Section 3.12 are amended and restated to
read as follows:

     (a) With respect to Registered Securities of any series not permitting the
election provided for in paragraph (b) below or the Holders of which have not
made the election provided for in paragraph (b) below, the following payment
provision will apply:

          (1) Except as provided in paragraph (e) below, payment of the
     principal of (and premium, if any) on any Registered Security will be made
     at the Place of Payment by delivery of a check of checks in Dollars, unless
     any Holder has elected to receive payment in any Foreign Currency, in which
     case, payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) on any Registered
     

                                       6
<PAGE>
 
     Security will be made at the Place of Payment by delivery of a check or
     checks in the currency or currency unit in which the Security is payable on
     the payment date against surrender of such Registered Security, and any
     interest on any Fully Registered Security will be paid at the Place of
     Payment by bailing a check or checks in the currency or currency unit in
     which such interest is payable to the Person entitled thereto at the
     address of such Person appearing on the Securities Register.

          (2) Payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and (with-
     respect to Fully Registered Securities only) interest on such Security may
     also, subject to applicable laws and regulations, be made at such other
     place or places as may be designated by the Company by any appropriate
     method and in such other manner as may be agreed by the Company and any
     Holder.

          (b) It may be provided pursuant to Section 3.01 with respect to the
Registered Securities of any series that Holders shall have the option, subject
to paragraphs (e) and (f) below, to receive payments of principal of (and
premium, if any) and (with respect to Fully Registered Securities only)
interest, if any, on such Security in any of the currencies or currency units
which may be designated for such election by delivering to the Paying Agent a
written election, to be in form and substance satisfactory to the Paying Agent
on or prior to the applicable record date or at least 15 calendar days prior to
maturity, as the case may be. If a Holder so elects to receive such payments in
any such currency or currency unit, such election will remain in effect for such
Holder until changed by such Holder by delivery of a written notice to the
Paying Agent but the Paying Agent must receive written notice of any change on
or prior to the applicable record date or at least 15 calendar days prior to
maturity, as the case may be, to be effective for the payment to be made on such
payment date and no such change or election may be made with respect to payments
to be made on any Security of such series with respect to which notice of
redemption has been given by the Company pursuant to Article IV). Any Holder of
any such Security who shall not have delivered any such election to the Paying
Agent not later than the close of business on the applicable Election Date will
be paid the amount due on the applicable payment date in the relevant currency
or currency unit as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section 3.12. Payment of
principal of (and premium, if any) and (with respect to Fully Registered
Securities only) interest, if any, on such Security shall be made at the Place
of Payment by mailing at such location a check, in the applicable currency or
currency unit to the Person entitled thereto at the address of such Person
appearing on the Securities Register. Payment of the principal of, premium, if
any, and (with respect to Fully Registered Securities only) interest, if any, on
such Security may also, subject to applicable laws and regulations, be made at
such other place or places as may be designated by the Company by any
appropriate method.

specifying, in the currency or currency unit in which each series of the
Securities are payable, the respective aggregate amounts of principal of (and
premium, if any) and interest, if any, on the Securities to be made on such
payment date, specifying the amounts so payable in respect of Fully Registered
Securities, Registered Securities with Coupons and Unregistered Securities and
in respect of the Registered Securities as to which the Holders of Securities
denominated in any currency or currency unit shall have elected to be paid in
another currency or currency unit as provided in paragraph (b) above. If the

Section 3.01 and if at least one Holder has made such election, then, on the
second Business day preceding each payment date the Company will deliver to the
Paying Agent an Exchange Rate Officer's Certificate in respect of the Dollar,
Foreign Currency or currency unit payments to be made on such payment date. The
Dollar, Foreign Currency or currency unit amount receivable by Holders of
Registered Securities who have elected payment in a currency or currency unit as
provided in paragraph (b) above shall be determined by the Company on the basis
of the applicable Market Exchange Rate in effect on the second Business Day (the
"Valuation Date") immediately preceding each payment date.

          L.  Paragraph (g) of Section 3.12 is amended and restated to read as
follows:

          (g) The "Dollar Equivalent of the Foreign Currency" shall be
determined by the Exchange Rate Agent, if any, or, if there shall not be an
Exchange Rate Agent, then by the Trustee, on the basis of the most recently
available Market Exchange Rate, or as otherwise indicated in a pricing
supplement to a prospectus describing the Securities.

          M.  The first sentence of Section 8.14 is amended and restated to read
as follows:

repayment, purchase, exchange or registration of transfer or for credit against
any sinking fund shall, if surrendered to the Company or any Paying Agent or any
Securities Registrar, be surrendered to the Securities Registrar and promptly
canceled by it, or, if surrendered to the Securities Registrar, shall be

thereof except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. The Securities
Registrar shall destroy canceled Securities and Coupons in accordance with a

hereunder (under circumstances when the provisions of the foregoing clause (i)
shall not be applicable), any Holder of the Securities shall be entitled to
payment only after there shall first have been paid in full, on the Senior Debt
outstanding at the time the Securities first so become due and payable because
of such Event of Default, all principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any,
becoming due and payable, by acceleration or otherwise, on such Senior Debt
within one year after such Securities so become due and payable. No present or
future holder of Senior Debt shall be prejudiced in his right to enforce
subordination of the Securities by any act or failure to act on the part of the
Company. The provisions of this paragraph are solely for the purpose of defining
the relative rights of the holders of Senior Debt on the one hand, and the
Holders of the Securities on the other hand, and nothing herein shall impair, as
between the Company and the Holder of any Security, the obligation of the
Company, which is unconditional and absolute, to pay to the Holder thereof the
principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, thereon in accordance with its
terms, nor shall anything herein prevent the Trustee or the Holder of a Security
from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law or hereunder
upon default hereunder, subject to the rights, if any, under this paragraph, of
holders of Senior Debt to receive cash, property or securities otherwise payable
or deliverable to Holders of the Securities.

     The Company agrees, for the benefit of the holders of Senior Debt, that if
any Security becomes due and payable before its expressed maturity because of
the occurrence of a default hereunder (a) the Company will give prompt notice in
writing of such happening to the holders of record of Senior Debt and (b) all
Senior Debt shall forthwith become immediately due and payable upon demand made
prior to the curing of any such default, regardless of the expressed maturity
thereof.

     Section 14.02. Securities May be Paid Prior to Dissolution, etc.

     Nothing contained in this Article XIV or elsewhere in this Indenture, or in
any of the Securities, shall prevent (a) the Company, at any time except under
the conditions described in Section 14.01 or during the pendency of any
dissolution or winding up or total or partial liquidation or reorganization
proceedings therein referred to, from making payments at any time of principal
of, premium, if any, or interest, if any, on Securities or from depositing with
the Trustee or any Paying Agent moneys for such payments, or (b) the application
by the Trustee or any Paying Agent of any moneys deposited with it under this
Indenture to the payment of or on account of the principal of, premium, if any,
or interest, if any, on the Securities to the Holders of the Securities entitled
thereto if such payment would 

                                       10
<PAGE>
 
not have been prohibited by the provisions of Section 14.01 on the date such
moneys were so deposited.

     Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 14.01 or any other provision of
this Indenture, the Trustee and any Paying Agent shall not be charged with
knowledge of the existence of any Senior Debt or of any facts which would
prohibit the making of any payment of moneys to or by the Trustee or such Paying
Agent, unless and until the Trustee or such Paying Agent shall have received
written notice thereof from the Company or from a holder of such Senior Debt;
and, prior to the receipt of any such written notice, the Trustee shall be
entitled in all respects to assume that no such facts exist.  However, if prior
to one business day before the date upon which by the terms hereof any such
moneys may become payable for any purpose (including, without limitation, the
payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest, if any, on any
Security) the Trustee or such Paying Agent shall not have received with respect
to such moneys the notice provided for in this Section 14.02, then, anything
herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee and such Paying
Agent shall have full power and authority to receive such moneys and apply the
same to the purpose for which they were received, and shall not be affected by
any notice to the contrary which may be received after such date.

     Section 14.03. Rights of the Holders of Senior Debt Not to be Impaired.

     Neither the Trustee nor any Paying Agent shall be deemed to owe any
fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Debt, and neither shall be liable to any
such holders if it shall mistakenly pay over or distribute to or on behalf of
Holders of the Securities or the Company moneys or assets to which any holders
of Senior Debt shall be entitled by virtue of this Article XIV.

     The Trustee shall be entitled to all the rights set forth in this Article
XIV with respect to any Senior Debt which may at any time be held by it, to the
same extent as any other holder of Senior Debt, and nothing in Section 8.13, or
elsewhere in this Indenture, shall deprive the Trustee of any of its rights as
such holder.

     Any distributions to be made by the Trustee to the holders of Senior Debt
in accordance with this Article XIV may be made to any Trustee or other
representatives of such Holder.

     Section 14.04. Authorization to Trustee to Take Action to Effectuate
Subordination.

     Each Holder of a Security by his acceptance thereof authorizes and directs
the Trustee in his behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate
to effectuate the subordination as provided in this Article XIV and appoints the
Trustee his attorney in fact for any and all such purposes.

  INDENTURE dated as of September 1, 1995 between HELLER FINANCIAL, INC., a
Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and SHAWMUT BANK CONNECTICUT, NATIONAL

                            PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS

  A.   The Company is authorized to borrow money for its corporate purposes and
to issue non-convertible debentures, notes and other debt obligations therefor;
and for its corporate purposes, the Company has determined to make and issue its
non-convertible debentures, notes and other debt obligations to be issued in one

amount or amounts as may from time to time be authorized by or pursuant to the
authority granted in one or more resolutions of the Board of Directors.

  B.   All things necessary to make this Indenture a valid agreement of the
Company, in accordance with its terms, have been done.

  In consideration of the above statements, and other good and valuable
consideration the receipt and adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged, the
parties agree that all the Securities are to be executed, authenticated and
delivered subject to the further covenants and conditions hereinafter set forth;
and the Company, for itself and its successors, does hereby covenant and agree
to and with the Trustee and its successors in such trust, for the benefit of
those who shall hold the Securities, or any of them, as follows:

Provisions, control, as though they were fully set forth in the Standard
Provisions, in the appropriate alphabetical sequence, as follows:

     "Conversion Event" means the cessation of (i) a Foreign Currency to be used

     established, or (iv) the availability of a currency due to the imposition
     of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the Company's control.

     "Depositary" means, unless otherwise specified by the Company pursuant to
     either Section 2.03 or 3.01, with respect to Securities of any series
     issuable or issued as a Global Security, The Depository Trust Company, New
     York, New York, or any successor thereto registered under the Securities
     and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or other applicable statute or
     regulation.

     time to time selected by the Company for purposes of Section 3.12, which,
     initially, shall be The Fuji Bank and Trust Company.

     "Global Security" means with respect to any series of Securities issued
     hereunder, a Security which is executed by the Company and authenticated
     and delivered by the Trustee to the Depositary or pursuant to the
     Depositary's instruction, all in accordance with this Indenture and an
     indenture supplemental hereto, if any, or Board Resolution and pursuant to
     a Company Order, which shall be registered in the name of the Depositary or
     its nominee and which shall represent, and shall be denominated in an
     amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of, all of the Outstanding
     Securities of such series or any portion thereof, in either case having the
     same terms, including, without limitation, the same issue date, date or
     dates on which principal is due, and interest rate or method of determining
     interest.

     selected by the Exchange Rate Agent and approved by the Company (one of
     which may be the Exchange Rate Agent) In the event of the unavailability of
     any of the exchange rates provided for in the foregoing clauses (i), (ii),

     converted, unless such Foreign Currency is unavailable due to the
     imposition of exchange controls or to other circumstances beyond the
     Company's control, in which case payment shall be made in Dollars on the
     basis of the most recently available Market Exchange Rate or as otherwise
     indicated in a pricing supplement to a prospectus describing the
     Securities. Unless otherwise specified by the Exchange Rate Agent, if any,
     or if there shall not be an Exchange Rate Agent, then by the Trustee, if
     there is more than one market for dealing in any currency or currency unit

"form" in the first sentence of such Section.


          E.  Article Two is amended to add a new Section 2.03, which reads in
its entirety as follows:

          Section 2.03 Securities Issuable in the Form of a Global Security. (a)
     If the Company shall establish pursuant to Section 3.01 that the Securities
     of a particular series are to be issued in whole or in part in the form of
     one or more Global Securities, then the Company shall execute and the
     Trustee shall, in accordance with Section 3.03 and the Company Order
     delivered to


                                       3

<PAGE>
 
     the Trustee thereunder, authenticate and deliver, such Global Security or
     Securities, which (i) shall represent, and shall be denominated in an
     amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of, the Outstanding
     Securities of such series to be represented by such Global Security or
     Securities, (ii) shall be registered in the name of the Depositary for such
     Global Security or Securities or its nominee, (iii) shall be delivered by
     the Trustee to the Depositary or pursuant to the Depositary's instruction
     and (iv) shall bear a legend substantially to the following effect: "Unless
     and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for the individual Securities
     represented hereby, this 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 another nominee of the Depositary or by
     the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee
     of such successor Depositary.

          (b)  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.03 or of
     Section 3.05, subject to the provisions of paragraph (c) below, unless the
     terms of a Global Security expressly permit such Global Security to be
     exchanged in whole or in part for individual securities, a Global Security
     may be transferred, in whole but not in part and in the manner provided in
     Section 3.05, only to a nominee of the Depositary for such Global Security,
     or to the Depositary, or a successor Depositary for such Global Security
     selected or approved by the Company, or to a nominee of such successor
     Depositary.

          (c)  (i)  If at any time the Depositary for a Global Security notifies
     the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for
     such Global Security or if at any time the Depositary for the Securities
     for such series shall no longer be eligible or in good standing under the
     Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or other applicable statute or
     regulation, the Company shall appoint a Depositary with respect to such
     Global Security. If a successor Depositary for such Global Security is not
     appointed by the Company within 90 days after the Company receives such
     notice or becomes aware of such ineligibility, the Company will execute,
     and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and
     delivery of individual Securities of such series in exchange for such
     Global Security, will authenticate and deliver individual Securities of
     such series of like tenor and terms in definitive form in an aggregate
     principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security in
     exchange for such Global Security.

          (ii)  The Company may at any time and in its sole discretion determine
     that the Securities of any series issued or issuable in the form of one or
     more Global Securities shall no longer be represented by such Global
     Security or Securities. In such event the Company will execute, and the
     Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and
     delivery


                                       4

<PAGE>
 
     of individual Securities of such series in exchange in whole or in part for
     such Global Security, will authenticate and deliver individual Securities
     of such series of like tenor and terms in definitive form in an aggregate
     principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Global Security or
     Securities representing such series in exchange for such Global Security or
     Securities.

          (iii)  If specified by the Company pursuant to Section 3.01 with
     respect to Securities issued or issuable in the form of a Global Security,
     the Depositary for such Global Security may surrender such Global Security
     in exchange in whole or in part for individual securities or such series of
     like tenor and terms in definitive 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, (l) to
     each Person specified by such Depositary a new Security or Securities of
     the same series of like tenor and terms and of any authorized denomination
     as requested by such Person in aggregate principal amount equal to and in
     exchange for such Person's beneficial interest in the Global Security; and
     (2) to such Depositary a new Global Security of like tenor and terms and in
     an authorized denomination equal to the difference, if any, between the
     principal amount of the surrendered Global Security and the aggregate
     principal amount of Securities delivered to Holders thereof.

          (iv)  In any exchange provided for in any of the preceding three
     paragraphs, the Company will execute and the Trustee will authenticate and
     deliver individual Securities in definitive registered form in authorized
     denominations. Upon the exchange of a Global Security for individual
     Securities, such Global Security shall be canceled by the Trustee.
     Securities issued in exchange for a Global Security pursuant to this
     Section 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 the
     persons in whose names such Securities are so registered.


          F.  Section 3.01 is amended to (i) add Section 2.03 to the sections
referred to in the parenthetical exception to paragraph (b) of Section 3.01,
(ii) redesignate paragraphs (q), (r), (s), (t), (u) and (v) as paragraphs (r),
(s), (t), (u), (v) and (w), respectively, and (iii) add new paragraph (q) as
follows:

          (q)  whether the Securities of the series shall be issued in whole or
     in part in the form of a Global Security or Securities; the terms and
     conditions, if any, upon which such Global Security or Securities may be
     exchanged in whole or in part for other individual Securities; and the
     Depositary for such Global Security or Securities; and


                                       5

<PAGE>
 
          G.  The second paragraph following paragraph (d) (vi) of Section 3.03
is amended and restated to read as follows:

          If all the Securities of any one series are not to be issued at one
     time (i) the Trustee shall be entitled to assume that, at the time of the
     issuance of such Securities, the terms of such Securities do not violate
     any applicable law or agreement then binding on the Company, and (ii) it
     shall not be necessary to deliver a Board Resolution, an executed
     supplemental indenture, if any, an Officer's Certificate or an Opinion of
     Counsel at the time of issuance of each Security, but such Board
     Resolution, supplemental indenture, if any, Officer's Certificate and
     Opinion of Counsel shall be delivered at or prior to the time of issuance
     of the first Security of such series and the Trustee lay conclusively rely
     on such documents as to the matters covered thereby until revoked by
     superseding comparable documents delivered to it.


          H.  The first sentence of Section 3.05 is amended and restated to read
as follows:

          Subject to Section 2.03, Securities of any series may be exchanged
     for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of the same series of
     other authorized denominations of a like Stated Maturity and with like
     terms and provisions.


          I.  The following paragraph is added at the end of Section 3.05:

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


          J.  Paragraphs (a) and (b) of Section 3.12 are amended and restated to
read as follows:

     (a)  With respect to Registered Securities of any series not permitting the
election provided for in paragraph (b) below or the Holders of which have not
made the election provided for in paragraph (b) below, the following payment
provision will apply:

          (1)  Except as provided in paragraph (e) below, payment of the
     principal of (and premium, if any) on any Registered Security will be made
     at the Place of Payment by delivery of a check of checks in Dollars, unless
     any Holder has elected to receive payment in any Foreign Currency, in which
     case, payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) on any Registered


                                       6

<PAGE>
 
     Security will be made at the Place of Payment by delivery of a check or
     checks in the currency or currency unit in which the Security is payable on
     the payment date against surrender of such Registered Security, and any
     interest on any Fully Registered Security will be paid at the Place of
     Payment by bailing a check or checks in the currency or currency unit in
     which such interest is payable to the Person entitled thereto at the
     address of such Person appearing on the Securities Register.

          (2)  Payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and (with-
     respect to Fully Registered Securities only) interest on such Security may
     also, subject to applicable laws and regulations, be made at such other
     place or places as may be designated by the Company by any appropriate
     method and in such other manner as may be agreed by the Company and any
     Holder.

          (b)  It may be provided pursuant to Section 3.01 with respect to the
Registered Securities of any series that Holders shall have the option, subject
to paragraphs (e) and (f) below, to receive payments of principal of (and
premium, if any) and (with respect to Fully Registered Securities only)
interest, if any, on such Security in any of the currencies or currency units
which may be designated for such election by delivering to the Paying Agent a
written election, to be in form and substance satisfactory to the Paying Agent
on or prior to the applicable record date or at least 15 calendar days prior to
maturity, as the case may be.  If a Holder so elects to receive such payments in
any such currency or currency unit, such election will remain in effect for such
Holder until changed by such Holder by delivery of a written notice to the
Paying Agent but the Paying Agent must receive written notice of any change on
or prior to the applicable record date or at least 15 calendar days prior to
maturity, as the case may be, to be effective for the payment to be made on such
payment date and no such change or election may be made with respect to payments
to be made on any Security of such series with respect to which notice of
redemption has been given by the Company pursuant to Article IV).  Any Holder of
any such Security who shall not have delivered any such election to the Paying
Agent not later than the close of business on the applicable Election Date will
be paid the amount due on the applicable payment date in the relevant currency
or currency unit as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section 3.12.  Payment of
principal of (and premium, if any) and (with respect to Fully Registered
Securities only) interest, if any, on such Security shall be made at the Place
of Payment by mailing at such location a check, in the applicable currency or
currency unit to the Person entitled thereto at the address of such Person
appearing on the Securities Register.  Payment of the principal of, premium, if
any, and (with respect to Fully Registered Securities only) interest, if any, on
such Security may also, subject to applicable laws and regulations, be made at
such other place or places as may be designated by the Company by any
appropriate method.

          K.  Paragraph (d) of Section 3.12 is amended and restated to read as
follows:

          (d)  Not later than the fourth Business Day after the Election Date
for each payment date, the Paying Agent will deliver to the Company a written
notice specifying, in the currency or currency unit in which each series of the
Securities are payable, the respective aggregate amounts of principal of (and
premium, if any) and interest, if any, on the Securities to be made on such
payment date, specifying the amounts so payable in respect of Fully Registered
Securities, Registered Securities with Coupons and Unregistered Securities and
in respect of the Registered Securities as to which the Holders of Securities
denominated in any currency or currency unit shall have elected to be paid in
another currency or currency unit as provided in paragraph (b) above.  If the
election referred to in paragraph (b) above has been provided for pursuant to
Section 3.01 and if at least one Holder has made such election, then, on the
second Business day preceding each payment date the Company will deliver to the
Paying Agent an Exchange Rate Officer's Certificate in respect of the Dollar,
Foreign Currency or currency unit payments to be made on such payment date.  The
Dollar, Foreign Currency or currency unit amount receivable by Holders of
Registered Securities who have elected payment in a currency or currency unit as
provided in paragraph (b) above shall be determined by the Company on the basis
of the applicable Market Exchange Rate in effect on the second Business Day (the
"Valuation Date") immediately preceding each payment date.


          L.  Paragraph (g) of Section 3.12 is amended and restated to read as
follows:

          (g)  The "Dollar Equivalent of the Foreign Currency" shall be
determined by the Exchange Rate Agent, if any, or, if there shall not be an
Exchange Rate Agent, then by the Trustee, on the basis of the most recently
available Market Exchange Rate, or as otherwise indicated in a pricing
supplement to a prospectus describing the Securities.


          M.  The first sentence of Section 8.14 is amended and restated to read
as follows:

     The Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent for each series of
Securities, which shall be acceptable to the Company, to act on behalf of such
Trustee, and subject to its direction in the authentication and delivery of the
Securities of such series issued upon original issuance, exchange, registration
of transfer or partial redemption thereof or pursuant to Section 3.06.

          N.  Section 3.10 is amended and restated to read as follows:

     All Securities surrendered for the purpose of payment, redemption,
repayment, purchase, exchange or registration of transfer or for credit against
any sinking fund shall, if surrendered to the Company or any Paying Agent or any
Securities Registrar, be surrendered to the Securities Registrar and promptly
canceled by it, or, if surrendered to the Securities Registrar, shall be
promptly canceled by it, and no Securities or Coupons shall be issued in lieu
thereof except as expressly permitted by this Indenture.  The Securities
Registrar shall destroy canceled Securities and Coupons in accordance with a
Company Order and deliver a certificate of such destruction to the Company
unless, by a Company Order, the Company directs that such canceled Securities
and Coupons be returned to the Company.


     3.  Additional Provisions.

     The following provisions, which constitute part of this Indenture, are
numbered to conform with the format of the Standard Provisions:

     a.  Section 8.15. Other Matters Concerning the Trustee.

     At the date of this Indenture, the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee is
located at 777 Main St., Hartford, CT  06115.

     b.  ARTICLE XIV.  Subordination of Securities.


     Section 14.01  Securities Subordinated to Senior Debt and Subordinated
Debt.

     Anything in this Indenture or in the Securities to the contrary
notwithstanding, the indebtedness evidenced by the Securities shall be
subordinate and junior in right of payment to the extent and in the manner
hereinafter set forth, to all Senior Debt and all Subordinated Debt at any time
outstanding: (i) in the event of any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings, and
any receivership, liquidation, reorganization or other similar proceedings in
connection therewith, relative to the Company or to its creditors, as such, or
to its property, and in the event of any proceedings for voluntary liquidation,
dissolution or other winding up of the Company, whether or not involving
insolvency or bankruptcy, then the holders of Senior Debt and Subordinated Debt
shall be entitled to receive payment in full of all principal of, premium, if
any, and interest, if any, on all Senior Debt and Subordinated Debt before the
Holders of Securities are entitled to receive any payment on account of
principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, upon the Securities, and to
that end (but subject to the power of a court of competent jurisdiction to make
other equitable provisions reflecting the rights conferred in this


                                       9

<PAGE>
 
Article XIV and in the Securities upon the Senior Debt and Subordinated Debt and
the holders thereof with respect to the Securities and the Holders thereof by a
lawful plan of reorganization under applicable bankruptcy law) the holders of
Senior Debt and Subordinated Debt shall be entitled to receive for application
in payment thereof any payment or distribution of any kind or character, whether
in cash or property or securities, which may be payable or deliverable in any
such proceedings in respect of the Securities, except securities which are
subordinate and junior to the payment of all Senior Debt and Subordinated Debt
then outstanding; and (ii) if any Security is declared due and payable before
its expressed maturity because of the occurrence of an Event of Default
hereunder (under circumstances when the provisions of the foregoing clause (i)
shall not be applicable), any Holder of the Securities shall be entitled to
payment only after there shall first have been paid in full, on the Senior Debt
and Subordinated Debt outstanding at the time the Securities first so become due
and payable because of such Event of Default, all principal, premium, if any,
and interest, if any, becoming due and payable, by acceleration or otherwise, on
such Senior Debt and Subordinated Debt within one year after such Securities so
become due and payable.  No present or future holder of Senior Debt or
Subordinated Debt shall be prejudiced in his right to enforce subordination of
the Securities by any act or failure to act on the part of the Company.  The
provisions of this paragraph are solely for the purpose of defining the relative
rights of the holders of Senior Debt and Subordinated Debt on the one hand, and
the Holders of the Securities on the other hand, and nothing herein shall
impair, as between the Company and the Holder of any Security, the obligation of
the Company, which is unconditional and absolute, to pay to the Holder thereof
the principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, thereon in accordance with
its terms, nor shall anything herein prevent the Trustee or the Holder of a
Security from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law or
hereunder upon default hereunder, subject to the rights, if any, under this
paragraph, of holders of Senior Debt and Subordinated Debt to receive cash,
property or securities otherwise payable or deliverable to Holders of the
Securities.

     The Company agrees, for the benefit of the holders of Senior Debt and
Subordinated Debt, that if any Security becomes due and payable before its
expressed maturity because of the occurrence of a default hereunder (a) the
Company will give prompt notice in writing of such happening to the holders of
record of Senior Debt and Subordinated Debt and (b) all Senior Debt and
subordinated Debt shall forthwith become immediately due and payable upon demand
made prior to the curing of any such default, regardless of the expressed
maturity thereof.


     Section 14.02.  Securities May be Paid Prior to Dissolution, etc.

     Nothing contained in this Article XIV or elsewhere in this Indenture, or in
any of the Securities, shall prevent (a) the Company, at any time except under
the


                                       10
 
<PAGE>
 
conditions described in Section 14.01 or during the pendency of any dissolution
or winding up or total or partial liquidation or reorganization proceedings
therein referred to, from making payments at any time of principal of, premium,
if any, or interest, if any, on Securities or from depositing with the Trustee
or any Paying Agent moneys for such payments, or (b) the application by the
Trustee or any Paying Agent of any moneys deposited with it under this Indenture
to the payment of or on account of the principal of, premium, if any, or
interest, if any, on the Securities to the Holders of the Securities entitled
thereto if such payment would not have been prohibited by the provisions of
Section 14.01 on the date such moneys were so deposited.

     Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 14.01 or any other provision of
this Indenture, the Trustee and any Paying Agent shall not be charged with
knowledge of the existence of any Senior Debt or Subordinated Debt or of any
facts which would prohibit the making of any payment of moneys to or by the
Trustee or such Paying Agent, unless and until the Trustee or such Paying Agent
shall have received written notice thereof from the Company or from a holder of
such Senior Debt or Subordinated Debt; and, prior to the receipt of any such
written notice, the Trustee shall be entitled in all respects to assume that no
such facts exist.  However, if prior to one business day before the date upon
which by the terms hereof any such moneys may become payable for any purpose
(including, without limitation, the payment of the principal of, premium, if
any, or interest, if any, on any Security) the Trustee or such Paying Agent
shall not have received with respect to such moneys the notice provided for in
this Section 14.02, then, anything herein contained to the contrary
notwithstanding, the Trustee and such Paying Agent shall have full power and
authority to receive such moneys and apply the same to the purpose for which
they were received, and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary
which may be received after such date.
 

     Section 14.03.  Rights of the Holders of Senior Debt and Subordinated Debt
Not to be Impaired.

     Neither the Trustee nor any Paying Agent shall be deemed to owe any
fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Debt or Subordinated Debt, and neither
shall be liable to any such holders if it shall mistakenly pay over or
distribute to or on behalf of Holders of the Securities or the Company moneys or
assets to which any holders of Senior Debt and Subordinated Debt shall be
entitled by virtue of this Article XIV.

     The Trustee shall be entitled to all the rights set forth in this Article
XIV with respect to any Senior Debt which may at any time be held by it, to the
same extent as any other holder of Senior Debt and Subordinated Debt, and
nothing in Section 8.13, or elsewhere in this Indenture, shall deprive the
Trustee of any of its rights as such holder.


                                       11

<PAGE>
 
     Any distributions to be made by the Trustee to the holders of Senior Debt
in accordance with this Article XIV may be made to any Trustee or other
representatives of such Holder.


     Section 14.04.  Authorization to Trustee to Take Action to Effectuate
Subordination.

     Each Holder of a Security by his acceptance thereof authorizes and directs
the Trustee in his behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate
to effectuate the subordination as provided in this Article XIV and appoints the
Trustee his attorney in fact for any and all such purposes.

     INDENTURE dated as of __________________ between HELLER FINANCIAL, INC., a

                             PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS

     A. The Company is authorized to borrow money for its corporate purposes and
to issue non-convertible debentures, notes and other debt obligations therefor;
and for its corporate purposes, the Company has determined to make and issue its
non-convertible debentures, notes and other debt obligations to be issued in one

authority granted in one or more resolutions of the Board of Directors.

     B.   All things necessary to make this Indenture a valid agreement of the
Company, in accordance with its terms, have been done.

     In consideration of the above statements, and other good and valuable
consideration the receipt and adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged, the
parties agree that all the Securities are to be executed, authenticated and
delivered subject to the further covenants and conditions hereinafter set forth;
and the Company, for itself and its successors, does hereby covenant and agree
to and with the Trustee and its successors in such trust, for the benefit of
those who shall hold the Securities, or any of them, as follows:

<PAGE>
 
          B.  Section 1.01 is amended to add new defined terms thereto or
to amend existing defined terms, and all definitions set forth below, to the
extent they are inconsistent with the meanings ascribed to them in the Standard
Provisions, control, as though they were fully set forth in the Standard
Provisions, in the appropriate alphabetical sequence, as follows:

     "Conversion Event" means the cessation of (i) a Foreign Currency to be used
     both by the government of the country which issued such currency and for
     the settlement of transactions by public institutions of or within the

     European Monetary System and for the settlement of transactions by public
     institutions of or within the European Communities, (iii) any currency unit
     other than the ECU to be used for the purposes for which it was
     established, or (iv) the availability of a currency due to the imposition
     of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the Company's control.

     "Depositary" means, unless otherwise specified by the Company pursuant to
     either Section 2.03 or 3.01, with respect to Securities of any series
     issuable or issued as a Global Security, The Depository Trust Company, New
     York, New York, or any successor thereto registered under the Securities
     and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or other applicable statute or
     regulation.

     "Exchange Rate Agent" means the New York banking corporation, if any, from
     time to time selected by the Company for purposes of Section 3.12, which,
     initially, shall be The Fuji Bank and Trust Company.

     "Global Security" means with respect to any series of Securities issued
     hereunder, a Security which is executed by the Company and authenticated
     and delivered by the Trustee to the Depositary or pursuant to the
     Depositary's instruction, all in accordance with this Indenture and an
     indenture supplemental hereto, if any, or Board Resolution and pursuant to
     a Company Order, which shall be registered in the name of the Depositary or
     its nominee and which shall represent, and shall be denominated in an
     amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of, all of the Outstanding
     Securities of such series or any portion thereof, in either case having the
     same terms, including, without limitation, the same issue date, date or
     dates on which principal is due, and interest rate or method of determining
     interest.

     "Market Exchange Rate" means (i) for any conversion involving a currency
     unit on the one hand and Dollars or any Foreign Currency on the other, the
     exchange rate between the relevant currency unit and Dollars or such

<PAGE>
 
     any Foreign Currency, the noon (New York City time) buying rate for such
     Foreign Currency for cable transfers quoted in New York City as certified
     for customs purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and (iii) for
     any conversion of one Foreign Currency into Dollars or another Foreign
     Currency, the highest firm bid quotation for Dollars received by the
     Exchange Rate Agent at approximately 11:00 a.m. New York City time, on the
     second Business Day preceding the applicable payment date (or if no such
     rate is quoted on such date, the last date on which such rate was quoted),
     from three recognized foreign exchange dealers in The City of New York
     selected by the Exchange Rate Agent and approved by the Company (one of
     which may be the Exchange Rate Agent) In the event of the unavailability of
     any of the exchange rates provided for in the foregoing clauses (i), (ii),
     and (iii), payments shall be made in the Foreign Currency which is to be
     converted, unless such Foreign Currency is unavailable due to the
     imposition of exchange controls or to other circumstances beyond the
     Company's control, in which case payment shall be made in Dollars on the
     basis of the most recently available Market Exchange Rate or as otherwise
     indicated in a pricing supplement to a prospectus describing the
     Securities. Unless otherwise specified by the Exchange Rate Agent, if any,
     or if there shall not be an Exchange Rate Agent, then by the Trustee, if
     there is more than one market for dealing in any currency or currency unit
     by reason of foreign exchange regulations or otherwise, the market to be
     used in respect of such currency or currency unit shall be that upon which
     a nonresident issuer of securities designated in such currency or currency
     unit would purchase such currency or currency unit in order to make
     Payments in respect of such securities.

          C. Section 1.01 is amended to delete the term "Currency Determination
Agent" and all references to the term Currency Determination Agent in the
Indenture shall be replaced with references to the Exchange Rate Agent, and all
sections with such references are hereby amended and restated as though fully
set forth herein.

          D. Section 2.01 is amended to add the words "or forms" after the word
"form" in the first sentence of such Section.

          E. Article Two is amended to add a new Section 2.03, which reads in
its entirety as follows:

          Section 2.03  Securities Issuable in the Form of a Global Security.
     (a) If the Company shall establish pursuant to Section 3.01 that the
     Securities of a particular series are to be issued in whole or in part in
     the form of one or more Global Securities, then the Company shall execute
     and the Trustee shall, in accordance with Section 3.03 and the Company
     Order delivered to

                                       3
<PAGE>
 
     the Trustee thereunder, authenticate and deliver, such Global Security or
     Securities, which (i) shall represent, and shall be denominated in an
     amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of, the Outstanding
     Securities of such series to be represented by such Global Security or
     Securities, (ii) shall be registered in the name of the Depositary for such
     Global Security or Securities or its nominee, (iii) shall be delivered by
     the Trustee to the Depositary or pursuant to the Depositary's instruction
     and (iv) shall bear a legend substantially to the following effect: "Unless
     and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for the individual Securities
     represented hereby, this 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 another nominee of the Depositary or by
     the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee
     of such successor Depositary.

          (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.03 or of
     Section 3.05, subject to the provisions of paragraph (c) below, unless the
     terms of a Global Security expressly permit such Global Security to be
     exchanged in whole or in part for individual securities, a Global Security
     may be transferred, in whole but not in part and in the manner provided in
     Section 3.05, only to a nominee of the Depositary for such Global Security,
     or to the Depositary, or a successor Depositary for such Global Security
     selected or approved by the Company, or to a nominee of such successor
     Depositary.

          (c) (i) If at any time the Depositary for a Global Security notifies
     the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for
     such Global Security or if at any time the Depositary for the Securities
     for such series shall no longer be eligible or in good standing under the
     Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or other applicable statute or
     regulation, the Company shall appoint a Depositary with respect to such
     Global Security. If a successor Depositary for such Global Security is not
     appointed by the Company within 90 days after the Company receives such
     notice or becomes aware of such ineligibility, the Company will execute,
     and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and
     delivery of individual Securities of such series in exchange for such
     Global Security, will authenticate and deliver individual Securities of
     such series of like tenor and terms in definitive form in an aggregate
     principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security in
     exchange for such Global Security.

          (ii) The Company may at any time and in its sole discretion determine
     that the Securities of any series issued or issuable in the form of one or
     more Global Securities shall no longer be represented by such Global
     Security or Securities.  In such event the Company will execute, and the
     Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and
     delivery 

                                       4

     of individual Securities of such series in exchange in whole or in part for
     such Global Security, will authenticate and deliver individual Securities
     of such series of like tenor and terms in definitive form in an aggregate
     principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Global Security or
     Securities representing such series in exchange for such Global Security or
     Securities.

          (iii)  If specified by the Company pursuant to Section 3.01 with
     respect to Securities issued or issuable in the form of a Global Security,
     the Depositary for such Global Security may surrender such Global Security
     in exchange in whole or in part for individual securities or such series of
     like tenor and terms in definitive 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, (l) to
     each Person specified by such Depositary a new Security or Securities of
     the same series of like tenor and terms and of any authorized denomination
     as requested by such Person in aggregate principal amount equal to and in
     exchange for such Person's beneficial interest in the Global Security; and
     (2) to such Depositary a new Global Security of like tenor and terms and in
     an authorized denomination equal to the difference, if any, between the
     principal amount of the surrendered Global Security and the aggregate
     principal amount of Securities delivered to Holders thereof.

          (iv) In any exchange provided for in any of the preceding three
     paragraphs, the Company will execute and the Trustee will authenticate and
     deliver individual Securities in definitive registered form in authorized
     denominations. Upon the exchange of a Global Security for individual
     Securities, such Global Security shall be canceled by the Trustee.
     Securities issued in exchange for a Global Security pursuant to this
     Section 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 the
     persons in whose names such Securities are so registered.

          F.  Section 3.01 is amended to (i) add Section 2.03 to the sections
referred to in the parenthetical exception to paragraph (b) of Section 3.01,
(ii) redesignate paragraphs (q), (r), (s), (t), (u) and (v) as paragraphs (r),

follows:

          (q) whether the Securities of the series shall be issued in whole or
     in part in the form of a Global Security or Securities; the terms and
     conditions, if any, upon which such Global Security or Securities may be
     exchanged in whole or in part for other individual Securities; and the
     Depositary for such Global Security or Securities; and

is amended and restated to read as follows:

          If all the Securities of any one series are not to be issued at one
     time (i) the Trustee shall be entitled to assume that, at the time of the
     issuance of such Securities, the terms of such Securities do not violate
     any applicable law or agreement then binding on the Company, and (ii) it
     shall not be necessary to deliver a Board Resolution, an executed
     supplemental indenture, if any, an Officer's Certificate or an Opinion of
     Counsel at the time of issuance of each Security, but such Board
     Resolution, supplemental indenture, if any, Officer's Certificate and
     Opinion of Counsel shall be delivered at or prior to the time of issuance
     of the first Security of such series and the Trustee lay conclusively rely
     on such documents as to the matters covered thereby until revoked by

          I.  The following paragraph is added at the end of Section 3.05:

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

          J.  Paragraphs (a) and (b) of Section 3.12 are amended and restated to

     (a)  With respect to Registered Securities of any series not permitting the
election provided for in paragraph (b) below or the Holders of which have not
made the election provided for in paragraph (b) below, the following payment
provision will apply:

          (1) Except as provided in paragraph (e) below, payment of the
     principal of (and premium, if any) on any Registered Security will be made
     at the Place of Payment by delivery of a check of checks in Dollars, unless
     any Holder has elected to receive payment in any Foreign Currency, in which
     

                                       6
<PAGE>
 
     case, payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) on any Registered
     Security will be made at the Place of Payment by delivery of a check or
     checks in the currency or currency unit in which the Security is payable on
     the payment date against surrender of such Registered Security, and any
     interest on any Fully Registered Security will be paid at the Place of
     Payment by bailing a check or checks in the currency or currency unit in

     address of such Person appearing on the Securities Register.

          (2) Payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and (with-
     respect to Fully Registered Securities only) interest on such Security may
     also, subject to applicable laws and regulations, be made at such other
     place or places as may be designated by the Company by any appropriate
     method and in such other manner as may be agreed by the Company and any
     Holder.

     (b) It may be provided pursuant to Section 3.01 with respect to the
Registered Securities of any series that Holders shall have the option, subject

which may be designated for such election by delivering to the Paying Agent a
written election, to be in form and substance satisfactory to the Paying Agent
on or prior to the applicable record date or at least 15 calendar days prior to
maturity, as the case may be. If a Holder so elects to receive such payments in
any such currency or currency unit, such election will remain in effect for such
Holder until changed by such Holder by delivery of a written notice to the
Paying Agent but the Paying Agent must receive written notice of any change on
or prior to the applicable record date or at least 15 calendar days prior to
maturity, as the case may be, to be effective for the payment to be made on such
payment date and no such change or election may be made with respect to payments
to be made on any Security of such series with respect to which notice of
redemption has been given by the Company pursuant to Article IV). Any Holder of
any such Security who shall not have delivered any such election to the Paying
Agent not later than the close of business on the applicable Election Date will
be paid the amount due on the applicable payment date in the relevant currency
or currency unit as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section 3.12. Payment of
principal of (and premium, if any) and (with respect to Fully Registered
Securities only) interest, if any, on such Security shall be made at the Place
of Payment by mailing at such location a check, in the applicable currency or
currency unit to the Person entitled thereto at the address of such Person
appearing on the Securities Register. Payment of the principal of, premium, if
any, and (with respect to Fully Registered Securities only) interest, if any, on
such Security may also, subject to applicable laws and regulations, be made at
such other place or places as may be designated by the Company by any
appropriate method.

each payment date, the Paying Agent will deliver to the Company a written notice
specifying, in the currency or currency unit in which each series of the
Securities are payable, the respective aggregate amounts of principal of (and
premium, if any) and interest, if any, on the Securities to be made on such
payment date, specifying the amounts so payable in respect of Fully Registered
Securities, Registered Securities with Coupons and Unregistered Securities and
in respect of the Registered Securities as to which the Holders of Securities
denominated in any currency or currency unit shall have elected to be paid in
another currency or currency unit as provided in paragraph (b) above. If the
election referred to in paragraph (b) above has been provided for pursuant to
Section 3.01 and if at least one Holder has made such election, then, on the
second Business day preceding each payment date the Company will deliver to the
Paying Agent an Exchange Rate Officer's Certificate in respect of the Dollar,
Foreign Currency or currency unit payments to be made on such payment date. The
Dollar, Foreign Currency or currency unit amount receivable by Holders of
Registered Securities who have elected payment in a currency or currency unit as
provided in paragraph (b) above shall be determined by the Company on the basis
of the applicable Market Exchange Rate in effect on the second Business Day (the
"Valuation Date") immediately preceding each payment date.

          L.  Paragraph (g) of Section 3.12 is amended and restated to read as
follows:

          (g) The "Dollar Equivalent of the Foreign Currency" shall be
determined by the Exchange Rate Agent, if any, or, if there shall not be an
Exchange Rate Agent, then by the Trustee, on the basis of the most recently
available Market Exchange Rate, or as otherwise indicated in a pricing
supplement to a prospectus describing the Securities.

          M.  The first sentence of Section 8.14 is amended and restated to read
as follows:

     The Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent for each series of
Securities, which shall be acceptable to the Company, to act on behalf of such
Trustee, and subject to its direction in the authentication and delivery of the
Securities of such series issued upon original issuance, exchange, registration
of transfer or partial redemption thereof or pursuant to Section 3.06.

     All Securities surrendered for the purpose of payment, redemption,
repayment, purchase, exchange or registration of transfer or for credit against
any sinking fund shall, if surrendered to the Company or any Paying Agent or any
Securities Registrar, be surrendered to the Securities Registrar and promptly
canceled by it, or, if surrendered to the Securities Registrar, shall be
promptly canceled by it, and no Securities or Coupons shall be issued in lieu
thereof except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. The Securities
Registrar shall destroy canceled Securities and Coupons in accordance with a
Company Order and deliver a certificate of such destruction to the Company
unless, by a Company Order, the Company directs that such canceled Securities
and Coupons be returned to the Company.

Directors.

Company, in accordance with its terms, have been done.

          "Depositary" means, unless otherwise specified by the Company pursuant
     to either Section 2.03 or 3.01, with respect to Securities of any series
     issuable or issued as a Global Security, The Depository Trust Company, New
     York, New York, or any successor thereto registered under the Securities

     from time to time selected by the Company for purposes of Section 3.12,
     which, initially, shall be The Fuji Bank and Trust Company.

          "Global Security" means with respect to any series of Securities
     issued hereunder, a Security which is executed by the Company and
     authenticated and delivered by the Trustee to the Depositary or pursuant to
     the Depositary's instruction, all in accordance with this Indenture and an
     indenture supplemental hereto, if any, or Board Resolution and pursuant to
     a Company Order, which shall be registered in the name of the Depositary or
     its nominee and which shall represent, and shall be denominated in an
     amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of, all of the Outstanding
     Securities of such series or any portion thereof, in either case having the
     same terms, including, without limitation, the same issue date, date or
     dates on which principal is due, and interest rate or method of determining

     from three recognized foreign exchange dealers in The City of New York
     selected by the Exchange Rate Agent and approved by the Company (one of

     any of the exchange rates provided for in the foregoing clauses (i), (ii),

     imposition of exchange controls or to other circumstances beyond the
     Company's control, in which case payment shall be made in Dollars on the
     basis of the most recently available Market Exchange Rate or as otherwise
     indicated in a pricing supplement to a prospectus describing the
     Securities. Unless otherwise specified by the Exchange Rate Agent, if any,

          D. Section 2.01 is amended to add the words "or forms" after the word
"form" in the first sentence of such Section.

          E. Article Two is amended to add a new Section 2.03, which reads in
its entirety as follows:

          Section 2.03 Securities Issuable in the Form of a Global Security. (a)
     If the Company shall establish pursuant to Section 3.01 that the Securities
     of a particular series are to be issued in whole or in part in the form of
     one or more Global Securities, then the Company shall execute and the
     Trustee shall, in accordance with Section 3.03 and the Company Order
     delivered to 

                                       3
<PAGE>
 
     the Trustee thereunder, authenticate and deliver, such Global Security or
     Securities, which (i) shall represent, and shall be denominated in an
     amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of, the Outstanding
     Securities of such series to be represented by such Global Security or
     Securities, (ii) shall be registered in the name of the Depositary for such
     Global Security or Securities or its nominee, (iii) shall be delivered by
     the Trustee to the Depositary or pursuant to the Depositary's instruction
     and (iv) shall bear a legend substantially to the following effect: "Unless
     and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for the individual Securities
     represented hereby, this 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 another nominee of the Depositary or by
     the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee
     of such successor Depositary.

          (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.03 or of
     Section 3.05, subject to the provisions of paragraph (c) below, unless the
     terms of a Global Security expressly permit such Global Security to be
     exchanged in whole or in part for individual securities, a Global Security
     may be transferred, in whole but not in part and in the manner provided in
     Section 3.05, only to a nominee of the Depositary for such Global Security,
     or to the Depositary, or a successor Depositary for such Global Security
     selected or approved by the Company, or to a nominee of such successor
     Depositary.

          (c) (i) If at any time the Depositary for a Global Security notifies
     the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for
     such Global Security or if at any time the Depositary for the Securities
     for such series shall no longer be eligible or in good standing under the
     Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or other applicable statute or
     regulation, the Company shall appoint a Depositary with respect to such
     Global Security. If a successor Depositary for such Global Security is not
     appointed by the Company within 90 days after the Company receives such
     notice or becomes aware of such ineligibility, the Company will execute,
     and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and
     delivery of individual Securities of such series in exchange for such
     Global Security, will authenticate and deliver individual Securities of
     such series of like tenor and terms in definitive form in an aggregate
     principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security in
     exchange for such Global Security.

          (ii) The Company may at any time and in its sole discretion determine
     that the Securities of any series issued or issuable in the form of one or
     more Global Securities shall no longer be represented by such Global
     Security or Securities.  In such event the Company will execute, and the
     Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and
     delivery 

                                       4
<PAGE>
 
     of individual Securities of such series in exchange in whole or in part for
     such Global Security, will authenticate and deliver individual Securities
     of such series of like tenor and terms in definitive form in an aggregate
     principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Global Security or
     Securities representing such series in exchange for such Global Security or
     Securities.

          (iii)  If specified by the Company pursuant to Section 3.01 with
     respect to Securities issued or issuable in the form of a Global Security,
     the Depositary for such Global Security may surrender such Global Security
     in exchange in whole or in part for individual securities or such series of
     like tenor and terms in definitive 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, (l) to
     each Person specified by such Depositary a new Security or Securities of
     the same series of like tenor and terms and of any authorized denomination
     as requested by such Person in aggregate principal amount equal to and in
     exchange for such Person's beneficial interest in the Global Security; and
     (2) to such Depositary a new Global Security of like tenor and terms and in
     an authorized denomination equal to the difference, if any, between the
     principal amount of the surrendered Global Security and the aggregate
     principal amount of Securities delivered to Holders thereof.

          (iv) In any exchange provided for in any of the preceding three
     paragraphs, the Company will execute and the Trustee will authenticate and
     deliver individual Securities in definitive registered form in authorized
     denominations. Upon the exchange of a Global Security for individual
     Securities, such Global Security shall be canceled by the Trustee.
     Securities issued in exchange for a Global Security pursuant to this
     Section 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 the
     persons in whose names such Securities are so registered.

          F.  Section 3.01 is amended to (i) add Section 2.03 to the sections
referred to in the parenthetical exception to paragraph (b) of Section 3.01,
(ii) redesignate paragraphs (q), (r), (s), (t), (u) and (v) as paragraphs (r),
(s), (t), (u), (v) and (w), respectively, and (iii) add new paragraph (q) as
follows:

          (q) whether the Securities of the series shall be issued in whole or
     in part in the form of a Global Security or Securities; the terms and
     conditions, if any, upon which such Global Security or Securities may be
     exchanged in whole or in part for other individual Securities; and the
     Depositary for such Global Security or Securities; and

                                       5
<PAGE>
 
          G.  The second paragraph following paragraph (d) (vi) of Section 3.03
is amended and restated to read as follows:

          If all the Securities of any one series are not to be issued at one
     time (i) the Trustee shall be entitled to assume that, at the time of the
     issuance of such Securities, the terms of such Securities do not violate
     any applicable law or agreement then binding on the Company, and (ii) it
     shall not be necessary to deliver a Board Resolution, an executed
     supplemental indenture, if any, an Officer's Certificate or an Opinion of
     Counsel at the time of issuance of each Security, but such Board
     Resolution, supplemental indenture, if any, Officer's Certificate and
     Opinion of Counsel shall be delivered at or prior to the time of issuance
     of the first Security of such series and the Trustee lay conclusively rely
     on such documents as to the matters covered thereby until revoked by
     superseding comparable documents delivered to it.

          H.  The first sentence of Section 3.05 is amended and restated to read
as follows:

          Subject to Section 2.03, Securities of any series may be exchanged
     for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of the same series of
     other authorized denominations of a like Stated Maturity and with like
     terms and provisions.

          I.  The following paragraph is added at the end of Section 3.05:

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

          J.  Paragraphs (a) and (b) of Section 3.12 are amended and restated to
read as follows:

     (a) With respect to Registered Securities of any series not permitting the
election provided for in paragraph (b) below or the Holders of which have not
made the election provided for in paragraph (b) below, the following payment
provision will apply:

          (1) Except as provided in paragraph (e) below, payment of the
     principal of (and premium, if any) on any Registered Security will be made
     at the Place of Payment by delivery of a check of checks in Dollars, unless
     any Holder has elected to receive payment in any Foreign Currency, in which
     case, payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) on any Registered
     

                                       6
<PAGE>
 
     Security will be made at the Place of Payment by delivery of a check or
     checks in the currency or currency unit in which the Security is payable on
     the payment date against surrender of such Registered Security, and any
     interest on any Fully Registered Security will be paid at the Place of
     Payment by bailing a check or checks in the currency or currency unit in
     which such interest is payable to the Person entitled thereto at the
     address of such Person appearing on the Securities Register.

          (2) Payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and (with-
     respect to Fully Registered Securities only) interest on such Security may
     also, subject to applicable laws and regulations, be made at such other
     place or places as may be designated by the Company by any appropriate
     method and in such other manner as may be agreed by the Company and any
     Holder.

     (b) It may be provided pursuant to Section 3.01 with respect to the
Registered Securities of any series that Holders shall have the option, subject
to paragraphs (e) and (f) below, to receive payments of principal of (and
premium, if any) and (with respect to Fully Registered Securities only)
interest, if any, on such Security in any of the currencies or currency units
which may be designated for such election by delivering to the Paying Agent a
written election, to be in form and substance satisfactory to the Paying Agent
on or prior to the applicable record date or at least 15 calendar days prior to
maturity, as the case may be. If a Holder so elects to receive such payments in
any such currency or currency unit, such election will remain in effect for such
Holder until changed by such Holder by delivery of a written notice to the
Paying Agent but the Paying Agent must receive written notice of any change on
or prior to the applicable record date or at least 15 calendar days prior to
maturity, as the case may be, to be effective for the payment to be made on such
payment date and no such change or election may be made with respect to payments
to be made on any Security of such series with respect to which notice of
redemption has been given by the Company pursuant to Article IV). Any Holder of
any such Security who shall not have delivered any such election to the Paying
Agent not later than the close of business on the applicable Election Date will
be paid the amount due on the applicable payment date in the relevant currency
or currency unit as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section 3.12. Payment of
principal of (and premium, if any) and (with respect to Fully Registered
Securities only) interest, if any, on such Security shall be made at the Place
of Payment by mailing at such location a check, in the applicable currency or
currency unit to the Person entitled thereto at the address of such Person
appearing on the Securities Register. Payment of the principal of, premium, if
any, and (with respect to Fully Registered Securities only) interest, if any, on
such Security may also, subject to applicable laws and regulations, be made at
such other place or places as may be designated by the Company by any
appropriate method.

specifying, in the currency or currency unit in which each series of the
Securities are payable, the respective aggregate amounts of principal of (and
premium, if any) and interest, if any, on the Securities to be made on such
payment date, specifying the amounts so payable in respect of Fully Registered
Securities, Registered Securities with Coupons and Unregistered Securities and
in respect of the Registered Securities as to which the Holders of Securities
denominated in any currency or currency unit shall have elected to be paid in
another currency or currency unit as provided in paragraph (b) above. If the
election referred to in paragraph (b) above has been provided for pursuant to
Section 3.01 and if at least one Holder has made such election, then, on the
second Business day preceding each payment date the Company will deliver to the
Paying Agent an Exchange Rate Officer's Certificate in respect of the Dollar,
Foreign Currency or currency unit payments to be made on such payment date. The
Dollar, Foreign Currency or currency unit amount receivable by Holders of
Registered Securities who have elected payment in a currency or currency unit as
provided in paragraph (b) above shall be determined by the Company on the basis
of the applicable Market Exchange Rate in effect on the second Business Day (the
"Valuation Date") immediately preceding each payment date.

          L.  Paragraph (g) of Section 3.12 is amended and restated to read as

determined by the Exchange Rate Agent, if any, or, if there shall not be an
Exchange Rate Agent, then by the Trustee, on the basis of the most recently
available Market Exchange Rate, or as otherwise indicated in a pricing
supplement to a prospectus describing the Securities.

          M.  The first sentence of Section 8.14 is amended and restated to read
as follows:

     The Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent for each series of
Securities, which shall be acceptable to the Company, to act on behalf of such
Trustee, and subject to its direction in the authentication and delivery of the
Securities of such series issued upon original issuance, exchange, registration
of transfer or partial redemption thereof or pursuant to Section 3.06.

repayment, purchase, exchange or registration of transfer or for credit against
any sinking fund shall, if surrendered to the Company or any Paying Agent or any
Securities Registrar, be surrendered to the Securities Registrar and promptly
canceled by it, or, if surrendered to the Securities Registrar, shall be
promptly canceled by it, and no Securities or Coupons shall be issued in lieu
thereof except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. The Securities
Registrar shall destroy canceled Securities and Coupons in accordance with a
Company Order and deliver a certificate of such destruction to the Company
unless, by a Company Order, the Company directs that such canceled Securities
and Coupons be returned to the Company.

     3.   Additional Provisions.

     The following provisions, which constitute part of this Indenture, are
numbered to conform with the format of the Standard Provisions:

     a.   Section 8.15. Other Matters Concerning the Trustee.

     At the date of this Indenture, the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee is
located at ______________________________.

     b.   ARTICLE XIV.  Subordination of Securities.

     Section 14.01  Securities Subordinated to Senior Debt.

     Anything in this Indenture or in the Securities to the contrary
notwithstanding, the indebtedness evidenced by the Securities shall be
subordinate and junior in right of payment to the extent and in the manner
hereinafter set forth, to all Senior Debt at any time outstanding: (i) in the
event of any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings, and any receivership,
liquidation, reorganization or other similar proceedings in connection
therewith, relative to the Company or to its creditors, as such, or to its
property, and in the event of any proceedings for voluntary liquidation,
dissolution or other winding up of the Company, whether or not involving
insolvency or bankruptcy, then the holders of Senior Debt shall be entitled to
receive payment in full of all principal of, premium, if any, and interest, if
any, on all Senior Debt before the Holders of Securities are entitled to receive
any payment on account of principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, upon
the Securities, and to that end (but subject to the power of a court of
competent jurisdiction to make other equitable provisions reflecting the rights
conferred in this Article XIV and in the Securities upon the Senior Debt and the
holders thereof with respect to the Securities and the Holders thereof by a
lawful plan of reorganization 

                                       9
<PAGE>
 
under applicable bankruptcy law) the holders of Senior Debt shall be entitled to
receive for application in payment thereof any payment or distribution of any
kind or character, whether in cash or property or securities, which may be
payable or deliverable in any such proceedings in respect of the Securities,
except securities which are subordinate and junior to the payment of all Senior
Debt then outstanding; and (ii) if any Security is declared due and payable
before its expressed maturity because of the occurrence of an Event of Default
hereunder (under circumstances when the provisions of the foregoing clause (i)
shall not be applicable), any Holder of the Securities shall be entitled to
payment only after there shall first have been paid in full, on the Senior Debt
outstanding at the time the Securities first so become due and payable because
of such Event of Default, all principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any,
becoming due and payable, by acceleration or otherwise, on such Senior Debt
within one year after such Securities so become due and payable. No present or
future holder of Senior Debt shall be prejudiced in his right to enforce
subordination of the Securities by any act or failure to act on the part of the
Company. The provisions of this paragraph are solely for the purpose of defining
the relative rights of the holders of Senior Debt on the one hand, and the
Holders of the Securities on the other hand, and nothing herein shall impair, as
between the Company and the Holder of any Security, the obligation of the
Company, which is unconditional and absolute, to pay to the Holder thereof the
principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, thereon in accordance with its
terms, nor shall anything herein prevent the Trustee or the Holder of a Security
from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law or hereunder
upon default hereunder, subject to the rights, if any, under this paragraph, of
holders of Senior Debt to receive cash, property or securities otherwise payable
or deliverable to Holders of the Securities.

     The Company agrees, for the benefit of the holders of Senior Debt, that if
any Security becomes due and payable before its expressed maturity because of
the occurrence of a default hereunder (a) the Company will give prompt notice in
writing of such happening to the holders of record of Senior Debt and (b) all
Senior Debt shall forthwith become immediately due and payable upon demand made
prior to the curing of any such default, regardless of the expressed maturity
thereof.

     Section 14.02. Securities May be Paid Prior to Dissolution, etc.

     Nothing contained in this Article XIV or elsewhere in this Indenture, or in
any of the Securities, shall prevent (a) the Company, at any time except under
the conditions described in Section 14.01 or during the pendency of any
dissolution or winding up or total or partial liquidation or reorganization
proceedings therein referred to, from making payments at any time of principal
of, premium, if any, or interest, if any, on Securities or from depositing with
the Trustee or any Paying Agent moneys for such payments, or (b) the application
by the Trustee or any Paying Agent of any moneys deposited with it under this
Indenture to the payment 

                                       10
<PAGE>
 
of or on account of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest, if any, on
the Securities to the Holders of the Securities entitled thereto if such payment
would not have been prohibited by the provisions of Section 14.01 on the date
such moneys were so deposited.

     Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 14.01 or any other provision of
this Indenture, the Trustee and any Paying Agent shall not be charged with
knowledge of the existence of any Senior Debt or of any facts which would
prohibit the making of any payment of moneys to or by the Trustee or such Paying
Agent, unless and until the Trustee or such Paying Agent shall have received
written notice thereof from the Company or from a holder of such Senior Debt;
and, prior to the receipt of any such written notice, the Trustee shall be
entitled in all respects to assume that no such facts exist.  However, if prior
to one business day before the date upon which by the terms hereof any such
moneys may become payable for any purpose (including, without limitation, the
payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest, if any, on any
Security) the Trustee or such Paying Agent shall not have received with respect
to such moneys the notice provided for in this Section  14.02, then, anything
herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee and such Paying
Agent shall have full power and authority to receive such moneys and apply the
same to the purpose for which they were received, and shall not be affected by
any notice to the contrary which may be received after such date.

     Section 14.03. Rights of the Holders of Senior Debt Not to be Impaired.

     Neither the Trustee nor any Paying Agent shall be deemed to owe any
fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Debt, and neither shall be liable to any
such holders if it shall mistakenly pay over or distribute to or on behalf of
Holders of the Securities or the Company moneys or assets to which any holders
of Senior Debt shall be entitled by virtue of this Article XIV.

     The Trustee shall be entitled to all the rights set forth in this Article
XIV with respect to any Senior Debt which may at any time be held by it, to the
same extent as any other holder of Senior Debt, and nothing in Section 8.13, or
elsewhere in this Indenture, shall deprive the Trustee of any of its rights as
such holder.

     Any distributions to be made by the Trustee to the holders of Senior Debt
in accordance with this Article XIV may be made to any Trustee or other
representatives of such Holder.

     Section 14.04. Authorization to Trustee to Take Action to Effectuate
Subordination.

     Each Holder of a Security by his acceptance thereof authorizes and directs
the Trustee in his behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate
to 

                                       11
<PAGE>
 
effectuate the subordination as provided in this Article XIV and appoints the
Trustee his attorney in fact for any and all such purposes.

     dates on which principal is due, and interest rate or method of determining
     interest.

     unit on the one hand and Dollars or any Foreign Currency on the other, the
     exchange rate between the relevant currency unit and Dollars or such

     any Foreign Currency, the noon (New York City time) buying rate for such
     Foreign Currency for cable transfers quoted in New York City as certified
     for customs purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and (iii) for
     any conversion of one Foreign Currency into Dollars or another Foreign

     from three recognized foreign exchange dealers in The City of New York
     selected by the Exchange Rate Agent and approved by the Company (one of
     which may be the Exchange Rate Agent) In the event of the unavailability of
     any of the exchange rates provided for in the foregoing clauses (i), (ii),
     and (iii), payments shall be made in the Foreign Currency which is to be

     imposition of exchange controls or to other circumstances beyond the
     Company's control, in which case payment shall be made in Dollars on the
     basis of the most recently available Market Exchange Rate or as otherwise
     indicated in a pricing supplement to a prospectus describing the
     Securities. Unless otherwise specified by the Exchange Rate Agent, if any,
     or if there shall not be an Exchange Rate Agent, then by the Trustee, if
     there is more than one market for dealing in any currency or currency unit
     by reason of foreign exchange regulations or otherwise, the market to be
     used in respect of such currency or currency unit shall be that upon which
     a nonresident issuer of securities designated in such currency or currency
     unit would purchase such currency or currency unit in order to make
     Payments in respect of such securities.

          C.   Section 1.01 is amended to delete the term "Currency

          Section 2.03 Securities Issuable in the Form of a Global Security. (a)
     If the Company shall establish pursuant to Section 3.01 that the Securities
     of a particular series are to be issued in whole or in part in the form of
     one or more Global Securities, then the Company shall execute and the
     Trustee shall, in accordance with Section 3.03 and the Company Order
     delivered to

                                         3
<PAGE>
 
     the Trustee thereunder, authenticate and deliver, such Global Security or
     Securities, which (i) shall represent, and shall be denominated in an
     amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of, the Outstanding
     Securities of such series to be represented by such Global Security or
     Securities, (ii) shall be registered in the name of the Depositary for such
     Global Security or Securities or its nominee, (iii) shall be delivered by
     the Trustee to the Depositary or pursuant to the Depositary's instruction
     and (iv) shall bear a legend substantially to the following effect: "Unless
     and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for the individual Securities
     represented hereby, this 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 another nominee of the Depositary or by
     the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee
     of such successor Depositary.

          (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.03 or of
     Section 3.05, subject to the provisions of paragraph (c) below, unless the
     terms of a Global Security expressly permit such Global Security to be
     exchanged in whole or in part for individual securities, a Global Security
     may be transferred, in whole but not in part and in the manner provided in
     Section 3.05, only to a nominee of the Depositary for such Global Security,
     or to the Depositary, or a successor Depositary for such Global Security
     selected or approved by the Company, or to a nominee of such successor
     Depositary.

          (c) (i) If at any time the Depositary for a Global Security notifies
     the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for
     such Global Security or if at any time the Depositary for the Securities
     for such series shall no longer be eligible or in good standing under the
     Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or other applicable statute or
     regulation, the Company shall appoint a Depositary with respect to such
     Global Security. If a successor Depositary for such Global Security is not
     appointed by the Company within 90 days after the Company receives such
     notice or becomes aware of such ineligibility, the Company will execute,
     and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and
     delivery of individual Securities of such series in exchange for such
     Global Security, will authenticate and deliver individual Securities of
     such series of like tenor and terms in definitive form in an aggregate
     principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security in
     exchange for such Global Security.

          (ii) The Company may at any time and in its sole discretion determine
     that the Securities of any series issued or issuable in the form of one or
     more Global Securities shall no longer be represented by such Global
     Security or Securities.  In such event the Company will execute, and the
     Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and
     delivery 

                                       4
<PAGE>
 
     of individual Securities of such series in exchange in whole or in part for
     such Global Security, will authenticate and deliver individual Securities
     of such series of like tenor and terms in definitive form in an aggregate
     principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Global Security or
     Securities representing such series in exchange for such Global Security or
     Securities.

          (iii)  If specified by the Company pursuant to Section 3.01 with
     respect to Securities issued or issuable in the form of a Global Security,
     the Depositary for such Global Security may surrender such Global Security
     in exchange in whole or in part for individual securities or such series of
     like tenor and terms in definitive 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, (l) to
     each Person specified by such Depositary a new Security or Securities of
     the same series of like tenor and terms and of any authorized denomination
     as requested by such Person in aggregate principal amount equal to and in
     exchange for such Person's beneficial interest in the Global Security; and
     (2) to such Depositary a new Global Security of like tenor and terms and in
     an authorized denomination equal to the difference, if any, between the
     principal amount of the surrendered Global Security and the aggregate
     principal amount of Securities delivered to Holders thereof.

          (iv) In any exchange provided for in any of the preceding three
     paragraphs, the Company will execute and the Trustee will authenticate and
     deliver individual Securities in definitive registered form in authorized
     denominations. Upon the exchange of a Global Security for individual
     Securities, such Global Security shall be canceled by the Trustee.
     Securities issued in exchange for a Global Security pursuant to this
     Section 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 the
     persons in whose names such Securities are so registered.

          F.  Section 3.01 is amended to (i) add Section 2.03 to the sections
referred to in the parenthetical exception to paragraph (b) of Section 3.01,
(ii) redesignate paragraphs (q), (r), (s), (t), (u) and (v) as paragraphs (r),
(s), (t), (u), (v) and (w), respectively, and (iii) add new paragraph (q) as
follows:

          (q) whether the Securities of the series shall be issued in whole or
     in part in the form of a Global Security or Securities; the terms and
     conditions, if any, upon which such Global Security or Securities may be
     exchanged in whole or in part for other individual Securities; and the
     Depositary for such Global Security or Securities; and

is amended and restated to read as follows:

          If all the Securities of any one series are not to be issued at one
     time (i) the Trustee shall be entitled to assume that, at the time of the
     issuance of such Securities, the terms of such Securities do not violate
     any applicable law or agreement then binding on the Company, and (ii) it
     shall not be necessary to deliver a Board Resolution, an executed
     supplemental indenture, if any, an Officer's Certificate or an Opinion of
     Counsel at the time of issuance of each Security, but such Board
     Resolution, supplemental indenture, if any, Officer's Certificate and
     Opinion of Counsel shall be delivered at or prior to the time of issuance
     of the first Security of such series and the Trustee lay conclusively rely
     on such documents as to the matters covered thereby until revoked by
     superseding comparable documents delivered to it.

          H.  The first sentence of Section 3.05 is amended and restated to read
as follows:

          Subject to Section 2.03, Securities of any series may be exchanged
     for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of the same series of
     other authorized denominations of a like Stated Maturity and with like
     terms and provisions.

          I.  The following paragraph is added at the end of Section 3.05:

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

          J.  Paragraphs (a) and (b) of Section 3.12 are amended and restated to
read as follows:

     (a) With respect to Registered Securities of any series not permitting the
election provided for in paragraph (b) below or the Holders of which have not
made the election provided for in paragraph (b) below, the following payment
provision will apply:

          (1) Except as provided in paragraph (e) below, payment of the
     principal of (and premium, if any) on any Registered Security will be made
     at the Place of Payment by delivery of a check of checks in Dollars, unless
     any Holder has elected to receive payment in any Foreign Currency, in which

                                       6
<PAGE> 

     case, payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) on any Registered
     Security will be made at the Place of Payment by delivery of a check or
     checks in the currency or currency unit in which the Security is payable on
     the payment date against surrender of such Registered Security, and any
     interest on any Fully Registered Security will be paid at the Place of
     Payment by bailing a check or checks in the currency or currency unit in
     which such interest is payable to the Person entitled thereto at the
     address of such Person appearing on the Securities Register.

          (2) Payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and (with-
     respect to Fully Registered Securities only) interest on such Security may
     also, subject to applicable laws and regulations, be made at such other
     place or places as may be designated by the Company by any appropriate
     method and in such other manner as may be agreed by the Company and any
     Holder.

     (b) It may be provided pursuant to Section 3.01 with respect to the
Registered Securities of any series that Holders shall have the option, subject
to paragraphs (e) and (f) below, to receive payments of principal of (and
premium, if any) and (with respect to Fully Registered Securities only)
interest, if any, on such Security in any of the currencies or currency units
which may be designated for such election by delivering to the Paying Agent a
written election, to be in form and substance satisfactory to the Paying Agent
on or prior to the applicable record date or at least 15 calendar days prior to
maturity, as the case may be. If a Holder so elects to receive such payments in
any such currency or currency unit, such election will remain in effect for such
Holder until changed by such Holder by delivery of a written notice to the
Paying Agent but the Paying Agent must receive written notice of any change on
or prior to the applicable record date or at least 15 calendar days prior to
maturity, as the case may be, to be effective for the payment to be made on such
payment date and no such change or election may be made with respect to payments

be paid the amount due on the applicable payment date in the relevant currency
or currency unit as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section 3.12. Payment of
principal of (and premium, if any) and (with respect to Fully Registered
Securities only) interest, if any, on such Security shall be made at the Place
of Payment by mailing at such location a check, in the applicable currency or
currency unit to the Person entitled thereto at the address of such Person

     3.   Additional Provisions.

     The following provisions, which constitute part of this Indenture, are
numbered to conform with the format of the Standard Provisions:

     a.   Section 8.15. Other Matters Concerning the Trustee.

     At the date of this Indenture, the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee is
located at ______________________________.

     b.   ARTICLE XIV.  Subordination of Securities.

     Section 14.01  Securities Subordinated to Senior Debt and Subordinated
Debt.

     Anything in this Indenture or in the Securities to the contrary
notwithstanding, the indebtedness evidenced by the Securities shall be
subordinate and junior in right of payment to the extent and in the manner
hereinafter set forth, to all Senior Debt and all Subordinated Debt at any time
outstanding: (i) in the event of any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings, and
any receivership, liquidation, reorganization or other similar proceedings in
connection therewith, relative to the Company or to its creditors, as such, or
to its property, and in the event of any proceedings for voluntary liquidation,
dissolution or other winding up of the Company, whether or not involving
insolvency or bankruptcy, then the holders of Senior Debt and Subordinated Debt
shall be entitled to receive payment in full of all principal of, premium, if
any, and interest, if any, on all Senior Debt and Subordinated Debt before the
Holders of Securities are entitled to receive any payment on account of
principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, upon the Securities, and to
that end (but subject to the power of a court of competent jurisdiction to make
other equitable provisions reflecting the rights conferred in this 

                                       9
<PAGE>
 
Article XIV and in the Securities upon the Senior Debt and Subordinated Debt and
the holders thereof with respect to the Securities and the Holders thereof by a
lawful plan of reorganization under applicable bankruptcy law) the holders of
Senior Debt and Subordinated Debt shall be entitled to receive for application
in payment thereof any payment or distribution of any kind or character, whether
in cash or property or securities, which may be payable or deliverable in any
such proceedings in respect of the Securities, except securities which are
subordinate and junior to the payment of all Senior Debt and Subordinated Debt
then outstanding; and (ii) if any Security is declared due and payable before
its expressed maturity because of the occurrence of an Event of Default
hereunder (under circumstances when the provisions of the foregoing clause (i)
shall not be applicable), any Holder of the Securities shall be entitled to
payment only after there shall first have been paid in full, on the Senior Debt
and Subordinated Debt outstanding at the time the Securities first so become due
and payable because of such Event of Default, all principal, premium, if any,
and interest, if any, becoming due and payable, by acceleration or otherwise, on
such Senior Debt and Subordinated Debt within one year after such Securities so
become due and payable.  No present or future holder of Senior Debt or
Subordinated Debt shall be prejudiced in his right to enforce subordination of
the Securities by any act or failure to act on the part of the Company.  The
provisions of this paragraph are solely for the purpose of defining the relative
rights of the holders of Senior Debt and Subordinated Debt on the one hand, and
the Holders of the Securities on the other hand, and nothing herein shall
impair, as between the Company and the Holder of any Security, the obligation of
the Company, which is unconditional and absolute, to pay to the Holder thereof
the principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, thereon in accordance with
its terms, nor shall anything herein prevent the Trustee or the Holder of a
Security from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law or
hereunder upon default hereunder, subject to the rights, if any, under this
paragraph, of holders of Senior Debt and Subordinated Debt to receive cash,
property or securities otherwise payable or deliverable to Holders of the
Securities.

     The Company agrees, for the benefit of the holders of Senior Debt and
Subordinated Debt, that if any Security becomes due and payable before its
expressed maturity because of the occurrence of a default hereunder (a) the
Company will give prompt notice in writing of such happening to the holders of
record of Senior Debt and Subordinated Debt and (b) all Senior Debt and
subordinated Debt shall forthwith become immediately due and payable upon demand
made prior to the curing of any such default, regardless of the expressed
maturity thereof.

     Section 14.02.  Securities May be Paid Prior to Dissolution, etc.

     Nothing contained in this Article XIV or elsewhere in this Indenture, or in
any of the Securities, shall prevent (a) the Company, at any time except under
the 

                                       10
<PAGE>
 
conditions described in Section 14.01 or during the pendency of any dissolution
or winding up or total or partial liquidation or reorganization proceedings
therein referred to, from making payments at any time of principal of, premium,
if any, or interest, if any, on Securities or from depositing with the Trustee
or any Paying Agent moneys for such payments, or (b) the application by the
Trustee or any Paying Agent of any moneys deposited with it under this Indenture
to the payment of or on account of the principal of, premium, if any, or
interest, if any, on the Securities to the Holders of the Securities entitled
thereto if such payment would not have been prohibited by the provisions of
Section 14.01 on the date such moneys were so deposited.

     Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 14.01 or any other provision of
this Indenture, the Trustee and any Paying Agent shall not be charged with
knowledge of the existence of any Senior Debt or Subordinated Debt or of any
facts which would prohibit the making of any payment of moneys to or by the
Trustee or such Paying Agent, unless and until the Trustee or such Paying Agent
shall have received written notice thereof from the Company or from a holder of
such Senior Debt or Subordinated Debt; and, prior to the receipt of any such
written notice, the Trustee shall be entitled in all respects to assume that no
such facts exist.  However, if prior to one business day before the date upon
which by the terms hereof any such moneys may become payable for any purpose
(including, without limitation, the payment of the principal of, premium, if
any, or interest, if any, on any Security) the Trustee or such Paying Agent
shall not have received with respect to such moneys the notice provided for in
this Section 14.02, then, anything herein contained to the contrary
notwithstanding, the Trustee and such Paying Agent shall have full power and
authority to receive such moneys and apply the same to the purpose for which
they were received, and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary
which may be received after such date.

     Section 14.03.  Rights of the Holders of Senior Debt and Subordinated Debt
Not to be Impaired.

     Neither the Trustee nor any Paying Agent shall be deemed to owe any
fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Debt or Subordinated Debt, and neither
shall be liable to any such holders if it shall mistakenly pay over or
distribute to or on behalf of Holders of the Securities or the Company moneys or
assets to which any holders of Senior Debt and Subordinated Debt shall be
entitled by virtue of this Article XIV.

     The Trustee shall be entitled to all the rights set forth in this Article
XIV with respect to any Senior Debt which may at any time be held by it, to the
same extent as any other holder of Senior Debt and Subordinated Debt, and
nothing in Section 8.13, or elsewhere in this Indenture, shall deprive the
Trustee of any of its rights as such holder.

                                       11
<PAGE>
 
     Any distributions to be made by the Trustee to the holders of Senior Debt
in accordance with this Article XIV may be made to any Trustee or other
representatives of such Holder.

     Section 14.04.  Authorization to Trustee to Take Action to Effectuate
Subordination.

     Each Holder of a Security by his acceptance thereof authorizes and directs
the Trustee in his behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate
to effectuate the subordination as provided in this Article XIV and appoints the
Trustee his attorney in fact for any and all such purposes.

                       [LETTERHEAD OF HELLER FINANCIAL]




                            September 7, 1995


To the Board of Directors of
Heller Financial, Inc.

Gentlemen:

       I have acted as counsel for Heller Financial, Inc. (the "Company") in
connection with the preparation and filing of the Registration Statement on Form
S-3 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on the
date hereof (the "Registration Statement").  The Registration Statement covers
up to $2,500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of unsecured debt securities
(the "Debt Securities") and warrants to purchase Debt Securities (the
"Warrants").  The Debt Securities may be senior (the "Senior Securities"),
subordinated (the "Subordinated Securities") or junior subordinated (the "Junior
Subordinated Securities") and are issuable from time to time pursuant to the
Indentures described below.

       The Senior Securities will be issued under an indenture between the
Company and Shawmut Bank Connecticut, National Association ("Shawmut"), as
Trustee (collectively referred to as the "Senior Indentures"); the Subordinated
Securities are to be issued under an indenture between the Company and Shawmut,
as Trustee (the "Subordinated Indenture"); and the Junior Subordinated
Securities are to be issued under an indenture between the Company and Shawmut,
as Trustee (the "Junior Subordinated Indenture"). Each of the Senior Securities,
the Subordinated Securities and the Junior Subordinated Securities,
respectively, may also be issued under an indenture in the form of such
indenture for each such class of Debt Securities, respectively, filed as an
exhibit to the Registration Statement, for which the related trustee will be
qualified in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Commission on or
before the time of their respective issuance.  The forms of the Senior
Indenture, the Subordinated Indenture and the Junior Subordinated Indenture are
filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement.  The Warrants will be issued
under a Warrant Agreement (the "Warrant Agreement") to be entered into between
the Company and a Warrant Agent to be selected by the Company at the time of
issuance, the form of which is filed as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement.
<PAGE>
 
       I am familiar with the corporate proceedings of the Company to date with
respect to the proposed issuance and sale of the Warrants and the Debt
Securities, and I have examined such corporate records of the Company and such
other documents and certificates as I have deemed necessary as a basis for the
opinions hereinafter expressed.

       Based on the foregoing, and having regard for such legal considerations
as I have deemed relevant, I am of the opinion that:

       1.   When the Registration Statement has become effective, the relevant
indenture has been duly executed and delivered, the terms of the Debt Securities
have been duly authorized by appropriate corporate action of the Company as
contemplated by the indenture pursuant to which they are to be issued, the Debt
Securities have been duly executed by the Company and authenticated by the
relevant trustee (or its authenticating agent) and have been delivered by the
Company against payment, therefor, the Debt Securities will be valid and binding
obligations of the Company and entitled to the benefits of such indenture.

       2.   When the Registration Statement has become effective, the Warrant
Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company, the
terms of the Warrants and been duly authorized by the appropriate corporate
action by the Company as contemplated by the Warrant Agreement, the Warrants
have been duly executed by the Company and counter-signed by the Warrant Agent
and have been delivered by the Company against payment therefor, the Warrants
will be valid and binding obligations of the Company entitled to the benefits of
the Warrant Agreement.

       The foregoing opinion is subject to all bankruptcy, insolvency or other
laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and general
equitable principles.

       I hereby consent that this opinion may be filed as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement and to the use of my name in the Registration Statement
and the Prospectus related thereto.

                                 Very truly yours,


                                 Sylvia L. Bateman

the laws of the United States.

No holder of shares of the capital stock of any class of the Association shall
have any pre-emptive or preferential right of subscription to any shares of any
class of stock of the Association, whether now or hereafter authorized, or to
any obligations convertible into stock of the Association, issued or sold, nor
any right of subscription to any thereof other than such, if any, as the board
of directors, in its discretion, may from time to time determine and at such
price as the board of directors may from time to time fix.

The board of directors of the Association is authorized, subject to limitations

   any other class or classes or series of stock;

c. Whether that series shall have voting rights, in addition to the voting
   rights provided by law, and, if so, the terms of such voting rights;

   conditions and at different redemption dates;

f. Whether that series shall be entitled to the benefit of a sinking fund to be
   applied to the purchase or redemption of shares of that series, and, if so,
   the terms and amounts of such sinking fund;

g. The right of the shares of that series to the benefit of conditions and
   restrictions upon the creation of indebtedness of the Association or any
   subsidiary, upon the issue of any additional stock (including additional
   shares of such series or of any other series) and upon the payment of
   dividends or the making of other distributions on, and the purchase,
   redemption or other acquisition by the Association or any subsidiary of any
   outstanding stock of the Association;

h. The right of the shares of that series in the event of voluntary or
   involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Association and
   whether such rights shall be in preference to, or in another relation to, the
   comparable rights of any other class or classes or series of stock; and

i. Any other relative, participating, optional or other special rights,
   qualifications, limitations or restrictions of that series.

Shares of any series of  preferred stock which have been redeemed (whether
through the operation of a sinking fund or otherwise) or which, if convertible
or exchangeable, have been converted into or exchanged for shares of stock of
any other class or classes shall have the status of authorized and unissued
shares of preferred stock of the same series and may be reissued as part of the
series of which they were originally a part or may be reclassified and reissued
as part of a new series of preferred stock to be created by resolution or
resolutions of the board of directors or as part of any other series of
preferred stock, all subject to the conditions and the restrictions adopted by
the board of directors providing for the issue of any series of preferred stock
and by the provisions of any applicable law.

Subject to the provisions of any applicable law, or except as otherwise provided
by the resolution or resolutions providing for the issue of any series of
preferred stock, the holders of outstanding shares of common stock shall

issue of any series of preferred stock, after payment shall have been made to
the holders of preferred stock of the full amount of dividends to which they

be entitled, to the exclusion of the holders of preferred stock of any and all
series, to receive such dividends as from time to time may be declared by the
board of directors.

any series of preferred stock, in the event of any liquidation, dissolution or
winding up of the Association, whether voluntary or involuntary, after payment
shall have been made to the holders of preferred stock of the full amount to

This schedule must be completed by all banks as follows:  Banks that reported total assets of $1 billion or more in Schedule RC,
item 12, for June 30, 1994, must complete items 2 through 9 and Memorandum item 1.  Banks with assets of less than
$1 billion must complete items 1 through 3 below or Schedule RC-R in its entirety, depending on their response to item 1 below.

     For purposes of this test, adjusted total assets equals total assets less cash, U.S. Treasuries, U.S. Government
   agency obligations, and 80 percent of U.S. Government-sponsored agency obligations plus the allowance for loan
   and lease losses and selected off-balance sheet items as reported on Schedule RC-L (see instructions).
     If the box marked YES has been checked, then the bank only has to complete items 2 and 3 below.  If the box marked
   NO has been checked, the bank must complete the remainder of this schedule.
     A NO response to item 1 does not necessarily mean that the bank's actual risk-based capital ratio is less than eight
   percent or that the bank is not in compliance with the risk-based capital guidelines.

directors shall have designated one or more alternate members for such
committee, the substitute shall be selected from such of said alternates as are
then available.

Section 3.7.  Additional Committees.  The board of directors may by resolution
designate one or more additional committees, each consisting of two or more of
the directors.  Any such additional committee shall have and may exercise such
powers as the board may from time to time prescribe for furthering the business

     For purposes of this test, adjusted total assets equals total assets less cash, U.S. Treasuries, U.S. Government
   agency obligations, and 80 percent of U.S. Government-sponsored agency obligations plus the allowance for loan
   and lease losses and selected off-balance sheet items as reported on Schedule RC-L (see instructions).
     If the box marked YES has been checked, then the bank only has to complete items 2 and 3 below.  If the box marked
   NO has been checked, the bank must complete the remainder of this schedule.
     A NO response to item 1 does not necessarily mean that the bank's actual risk-based capital ratio is less than eight
   percent or that the bank is not in compliance with the risk-based capital guidelines.

i. Any other relative, participating, optional or other special rights,
   qualifications, limitations or restrictions of that series.

or exchangeable, have been converted into or exchanged for shares of stock of
any other class or classes shall have the status of authorized and unissued
shares of preferred stock of the same series and may be reissued as part of the

or reimbursed by the Association for reasonable expenses actually incurred in
connection with any action, suit, or proceeding, civil or criminal, to which he

<PAGE>
 
organization which he served in any such capacity at the request of the
Association:  provided, that no person shall be so indemnified or reimbursed in
relation to any matter in such action, suit, or proceeding as to which he shall
finally be adjudged to have been guilty of or liable for gross negligence,
willful misconduct or criminal acts in the performance of his duties to the
Association:  and, provided further, that no person shall be so indemnified or
reimbursed in relation to any matter in such action, suit, or proceeding which
has been made the subject of a compromise settlement except with the approval of

of a majority of its board of directors, purchase insurance for the purpose of
indemnifying its directors, officers and other employees to the extent that such
indemnification is allowed in the preceding paragraph.  Such insurance may, but
need not, be for the benefit of all directors, officers, or employees.

ELEVENTH.  These articles of association may be amended at any regular or
special meeting of the shareholders by the affirmative vote of the holders of a
majority of the stock of this Association, unless the  vote of the holders of
greater amount of stock is required by law, and in that case by the vote of the
holders of such greater amount.  The notice of any shareholders' meeting at
which an amendment to the articles of association of this Association is to be
considered shall be given as hereinabove set forth.

I hereby certify that the articles of association of this Association, in their

association, to perform such audit functions as may be assigned by the board.
The duty of the audit committee shall be to examine at least once during each

association or cause suitable examination to be made by auditors responsible
only to the board of directors and to report the result of such examination in
writing to the board at the next regular meeting

directors who are not officers, shall be necessary to constitute a quorum.

Section 3.6. Substitute Committee Members.  In the case of the absence of any
member of any committee of the board from any meeting of such committee, the
directors who are not officers and are present at such meeting, or the senior
officer present if no such directors are there, may designate a substitute to
serve in lieu of such absent member.  Such substitute need not be a director
unless such absent member is a director, but in any case when the board of
directors shall have designated one or more alternate members for such
committee, the substitute shall be selected from such of said alternates as are
then available.

Section 3.7.  Additional Committees.  The board of directors may by resolution
designate one or more additional committees, each consisting of two or more of

This schedule must be completed by all banks as follows:  Banks that reported total assets of $1 billion or more in Schedule RC,
item 12, for June 30, 1994, must complete items 2 through 9 and Memorandum item 1.  Banks with assets of less than
$1 billion must complete items 1 through 3 below or Schedule RC-R in its entirety, depending on their response to item 1 below.
<S>                                                                                                                       <C>

     For purposes of this test, adjusted total assets equals total assets less cash, U.S. Treasuries, U.S. Government
   agency obligations, and 80 percent of U.S. Government-sponsored agency obligations plus the allowance for loan
   and lease losses and selected off-balance sheet items as reported on Schedule RC-L (see instructions).
     If the box marked YES has been checked, then the bank only has to complete items 2 and 3 below.  If the box marked
   NO has been checked, the bank must complete the remainder of this schedule.
     A NO response to item 1 does not necessarily mean that the bank's actual risk-based capital ratio is less than eight
   percent or that the bank is not in compliance with the risk-based capital guidelines.
