     Section 9.01 of the Indenture  provides,  among other things,  that Capital
Corporation,  SBC and the Trustee,  at any time and from time to time, may enter
into  an  indenture  supplemental  to  the  Indenture  without  consent  of  any
Securityholder  for the purpose of complying  with Section 5.01 of the Indenture
relating to a merger of Capital Corporation.

     Pursuant to Section  5.01 of the  Indenture,  Capital  may not  consolidate
with,  or merge  into,  or be merged  into any  person,  unless  the person is a

obligations  of  Capital  Corporation  under  the  Securities  and  any  coupons
appertaining  thereto and under the Indenture and, after giving effect  thereto,
no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

     SBC  pursuant to the  foregoing  authority,  proposes in and by this Second
Supplemental  Indenture  to assume all the  obligations  of Capital  Corporation
under the Indenture with respect to the Securities of all series  outstanding on
the date  hereof in order to permit the merger of Capital  Corporation  into SBC
pursuant to the  resolutions  of the Board of  Directors  of SBC duly adopted on
June 30, 2000, and after giving effect  thereto,  no Default or Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing.
