                Debt Securities, Debt Warrants, Preferred Stock,
                    Preferred Warrants and Currency Warrants


                     UNDERWRITING AGREEMENT BASIC PROVISIONS

             Snap-on Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"),
   proposes to issue and sell, from time to time in one or more offerings and
   on terms and in the respective amounts to be determined at the time of
   sale, its senior debt securities (the "Debt Securities"), warrants to
   purchase Debt Securities (the "Debt Warrants"), preferred stock, par value
   $1.00 per share (the "Preferred Stock"), warrants to purchase Preferred
   Stock (the "Preferred Warrants") or currency warrants (the "Currency War-
   rants").  As used herein, "Securities" shall mean the Debt Securities,
   Debt Warrants, Preferred Stock, Preferred Warrants, Currency Warrants or
   any combination thereof; and "Warrant Securities" shall mean the Debt
   Securities or Preferred Stock issuable upon exercise of Debt Warrants or
   Preferred Warrants, respectively.  The Debt Warrants may be offered
   together with Debt Securities or separately.  The Preferred Warrants may
   be offered together with Preferred Stock or separately.

             The Debt Securities will be issued under an indenture dated as
   of September 15, 1995 (the "Indenture") between the Company and Firstar
   Trust Company, as trustee (the "Trustee).  The Debt Warrants, Preferred
   Warrants and Currency Warrants will be issued under one or more warrant
   agreements (each a "Debt Warrant Agreement," "Preferred Warrant Agreement"
   or Currency Warrant Agreement," respectively), between the Company and the
   warrant agent identified therein (each a "Warrant Agent").  The terms and
   rights of any particular issue of Securities shall be as specified in the
   Terms Agreement (as defined below) relating thereto and in or pursuant to
   the Indenture, Debt Warrant Agreement, Preferred Warrant Agreement or
   Currency Warrant Agreement or, with respect to the Preferred Stock, the
   Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, of the Company
   (including the Certificate of Designation with respect to any Preferred
   Stock (the "Certificate of Designation")) (the "Certificate of Incorpora-
   tion"), as the case may be (each a "Securities Agreement").  Each issue of
   Securities may vary, as applicable, as to aggregate principal amount,
   number of shares or warrants, maturity date, duration and exercise price
   of warrants, interest or dividend rate or formula and timing of payments
   thereof, redemption provisions and sinking fund requirements, if any, and
   any other variable terms which the applicable Securities Agreement contem-
   plates may be set forth in the Securities as issued from time to time. 
     
             This is to confirm the arrangements with respect to the purchase
   of Securities (the "Underwritten Securities") from the Company by the
   Representative and the several Underwriters listed in the applicable terms
   agreement entered into between the Representative and the Company to which
   this Underwriting Agreement is attached as Annex A (the "Terms Agree-
   ment").  With respect to any particular Terms Agreement, the Terms
   Agreement, together with the provisions hereof incorporated therein by
   reference, is herein referred to as the "Agreement."  Terms defined in the
   Terms Agreement are used herein as therein defined.

             The Company meets the requirements for the use of Form S-3 under
   the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), and has filed
   with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") a regis-
   tration statement on Form S-3 (No. 33-55607) for the registration of the
   Securities and the offering thereof from time to time in accordance with
   Rule 415 under the 1933 Act, and has filed such amendments thereto as may
   have been required to the date of the Terms Agreement.  Such registration
   statement, as amended, has been declared effective by the Commission, and
   the Indenture has been qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as
   amended (the "1939 Act").  Such registration statement, as amended,
   including all documents incorporated therein by reference and the
   information deemed to be part of the registration statement pursuant to
   Rule 430A of the 1933 Act Regulations (defined below), as from time to
   time amended pursuant to the 1933 Act, the Securities Exchange Act of
   1934, as amended (the "1934 Act"), or otherwise, is referred to herein as
   the "Registration Statement."  The prospectus contained in the
   Registration Statement at its effective date, including any Preliminary
   Prospectus-Supplement (as defined below) is herein referred to as the "Basic
   Prospectus."  Any preliminary prospectus supplement to the Basic Prospectus
   which describes the Underwritten Securities and the offering thereof and
   is used prior to the filing of the Prospectus (as defined below) is herein
   referred to as a "Preliminary Prospectus Supplement."  The prospectus
   supplement relating to the sale of Underwritten Securities, in the form
   first filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the 1933 Act after the execution of
   the Terms Agreement (a "Prospectus Supplement"), together with the Basic
   Prospectus, or, if no filing is required pursuant to said Rule 424(b), the
   form of prospectus relating to the Underwritten Securities, including the
   Basic Prospectus, is referred to herein as the "Prospectus"; provided,
   however, that a Prospectus Supplement shall be deemed to have supplemented
   the Prospectus only with respect to the offering of Underwritten
   Securities to which it relates.  All references in this Agreement to
   financial statements and schedules and other information which is
   "contained," "included" or "stated" in the Registration Statement or the
   Prospectus (and all other references of like import) shall be deemed to
   mean and include all such financial statements and schedules and other
   information which is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference in the
   Registration Statement or the Prospectus, as the case may be; and all
   references in this Agreement to amendments or supplements to the Regis-
   tration Statement, the Basic Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus
   Supplement or the Prospectus shall be deemed to mean and include the
   filing of any document under the 1934 Act which is or is deemed to be
   incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Basic Pro-
   spectus, any Preliminary Prospectus Supplement or the Prospectus, as the
   case may be.

        SECTION 1.  Representations and Warranties. 

             (a)  The Company represents and warrants to the Representative
   and to each Underwriter named in a Terms Agreement as of the date thereof
   (the "Representation Date"), as follows:

                       (i)  At the time the Registration Statement became
                  effective, the Registration Statement complied, and as of
                  each applicable Representation Date, will comply, in all
                  material respects with the requirements of the 1933 Act and
                  the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder (the
                  "1933 Act Regulations") and the 1939 Act and the rules and
                  regulations of the Commission thereunder (the "1939 Act
                  Regulations").  The Registration Statement, at the time the
                  Registration Statement became effective, did not, and at
                  each time thereafter at which any amendment becomes
                  effective and as of the applicable Representation Date,
                  will not, contain 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.  The Basic Prospectus, as of its date, and the
                  Prospectus, as of the applicable Representation Date, did
                  not, and at the Closing Time referred to in Section 2
                  hereof, will not, contain an untrue statement of a material
                  fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to
                  make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances
                  under which they were made, not misleading; provided, how-
                  ever, that the representations and warranties in this
                  subsection shall not apply to statements in or omissions
                  from the Registration Statement or Prospectus made in reli-
                  ance upon and in conformity with information furnished to
                  the Company in writing by any Underwriter through the
                  Representative expressly for use in the Registration State-
                  ment or Prospectus or to that part of the Registration
                  Statement which constitutes the Statement of Eligibility
                  and Qualification under the 1939 Act on Form T-1 (the "Form
                  T-1") of the Trustee under the Indenture.

                       (ii)  Arthur Andersen LLP, which has certified certain
                  financial statements of the Company included in the
                  Registration Statement, are independent public ac-
                  countants as required by the 1933 Act and the 1933 Act
                  Regulations.

                       (iii)  The financial statements included in the Reg-
                  istration Statement and the Prospectus present fairly the
                  financial position of the Company and its consolidated
                  subsidiaries as at the dates indicated and the results of
                  their operations for the periods specified; except as oth-
                  erwise stated in the Registration Statement, said financial
                  statements have been prepared in conformity with generally
                  accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent
                  basis during the periods involved; the supporting schedules
                  contained in the Registration Statement present fairly the
                  information required to be stated therein; and the
                  Company's ratios of earnings to fixed charges (actual and,
                  if any, pro forma) included in the Prospectus under the

                  Adverse Effect (other than as disclosed in the Registration
                  Statement) or which might materially and adversely affect

                  in the Registration Statement, including ordinary routine
                  litigation incidental to the business, are, considered in
                  the aggregate, not material; and there are no contracts or

                  defects except (A) such as singly or in the aggregate do
                  not materially interfere with the use made and proposed to
                  be made of such properties, (B) as described in the Pro-
                  spectus or (C) as singly or in the aggregate could not rea-

                  presently employed by them in connection with the business
                  now operated by them, except where the failure to so own or
                  possess such patent and proprietary rights would not have a
                  Material Adverse Effect, and neither the Company nor any of
                  its Significant Subsidiaries has received any notice or is
                  otherwise aware of any infringement of or conflict with as-
                  serted rights of others with respect to any patent or pro-
                  prietary rights, or any facts which would render any patent
                  and proprietary rights invalid or inadequate to protect the
                  interest of the Company or any of its Significant Sub-
                  sidiaries therein, and which infringement or conflict (if
                  the subject of an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding)
                  or invalidity or inadequacy, singly or in the aggregate,

                  knowledge of the Company, is imminent; and the Company is
                  not aware of any existing or imminent labor disturbance by
                  the employees of any of its principal suppliers, manufac-
                  turers or contractors which might be expected to result in
                  a Material Adverse Effect.

                  of any court or governmental authority or agency is
                  necessary in connection with the sale of the Underwritten
                  Securities to the Underwriters hereunder, except such as
                  may be required under the 1933 Act, the 1933 Act

                  agencies or bodies necessary to conduct the business now
                  operated by them, except where the failure to so possess
                  such certificates, authorizations or permits would not have
                  a Material Adverse Effect, and neither the Company nor any
                  of its subsidiaries has received any notice of proceedings
                  relating to the revocation or modification of any such
                  certificate, authorization or permit which, singly or in
                  the aggregate, if the subject of an unfavorable decision,
                  ruling or finding, would result in a Material Adverse
                  Effect.

                  tain insurance policies or reserves with respect to such
                  insurable properties, potential liabilities and occurrences

                  management; and all such insurance policies are in full
                  force and effect.

                  protection of human health and safety, the environment or

                  subsidiaries is, or as a result of the transactions

        delivered to the Representative or to counsel for the Underwriters in
        connection with an offering of Underwritten Securities shall be
        deemed a representation and warranty by the Company, as to the
        matters covered thereby, to each Underwriter participating in such
        offering.

   Agreement pursuant to which they are being issued (including, but not
   limited to, designations, denominations, current ratings, interest or
   dividend rates or formulas and payment dates, exercise prices, maturity
   dates, redemption provisions and sinking fund requirements).  In addition,
   each Terms Agreement relating to any Preferred Stock shall specify whether
   the Company has agreed to grant to the Underwriters, an option to purchase
   additional Preferred Stock subject to such option (the "Option
   Securities").  As used herein, the term "Underwritten Securities" shall
   include all or any portion of the Option Securities agreed to be purchased
   by the Underwriters as provided herein, if any.

        The several commitments of the Underwriters to purchase Underwritten
   Securities pursuant to the Terms Agreement shall be deemed to have been
   made on the basis of the representations and warranties herein contained
   and shall be subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth.

             In addition, on the basis of the representations and warranties
   herein contained and subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth,
   the Company may grant, if so provided in the Terms Agreement relating to
   any Preferred Stock, an option to the Underwriters named in such Terms
   Agreement, severally and not jointly, to purchase up to the number of
   Option Securities set forth therein at the same price per share as is
   applicable to the Preferred Stock.  Such option, if granted, will expire
   30 days or such lesser number of days as may be specified in the Terms
   Agreement after the Representation Date relating to the Preferred Stock,
   and may be exercised in whole or in part from time to time only for the
   purpose of covering over-allotments which may be made in connection with
   the offering and distribution of the Preferred Stock upon notice by the
   Representative to the Company setting forth the number of Option Securi-
   ties as to which the several Underwriters are then exercising the option
   and the time and date of payment and delivery for such Option Securities. 
   Any such time and date of delivery (a "Date of Delivery") shall be deter-
   mined by the Representative, but shall not be later than seven full
   business days and not earlier than two full business days after the exer-
   cise of said option, unless otherwise agreed upon by the Representative
   and the Company.  If the option is exercised as to all or any portion of
   the Option Securities, each of the Underwriters, acting severally and not
   jointly, will purchase that proportion of the total number of Option
   Securities then being purchased which the number of shares of Preferred
   Stock each such Underwriter has agreed to purchase as set forth in the
   related Terms Agreement bears to the total number of shares of Preferred
   Stock, subject to such adjustments as the Representative in its discretion
   shall make to eliminate any sales or purchases of fractional shares.

        Payment of the purchase price for, and delivery of, any Underwritten
   Securities to be purchased by the Underwriters shall be made at the office
   of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom, 333 West Wacker Drive, Suite
   2100, Chicago, Illinois 60606, or at such other place as shall be agreed
   upon by the Representative and the Company, at 10:00 A.M. New York City
   time, on the fifth business day (unless postponed in accordance with the
   provisions of Section 10 hereof) following the date of the Terms Agreement
   or such other time as shall be agreed upon by the Representative and the
   Company (each such time and date being referred to as a "Closing Time");
   provided, however, that in the event that any or all of the Option
   Securities are purchased by the Underwriters, payment of the purchase
   price for, and delivery of certificates representing, such Option
   Securities, shall be made at the above-mentioned office of Skadden, Arps,
   Slate, Meagher & Flom, or at such other place as shall be agreed upon by
   the Representative and the Company, on each Date of Delivery as specified
   in the notice from the Representative to the Company.  Payment shall be
   made to the Company by certified or official bank check or checks in New
   York Clearing House or similar next day funds payable to the order of the
   Company against delivery to the Representative for the respective accounts
   of the Underwriters of certificates for the Underwritten Securities to be
   purchased by them.  Certificates for the Underwritten Securities shall be
   in such denominations and registered in such names as the Representative
   may request in writing at least two business days prior to the applicable
   Closing Time.  The certificates for the Underwritten Securities, which may
   be in temporary form, will be made available for examination and packaging
   by the Representative on or before the first business day prior to Closing
   Time.

        If authorized by the Terms Agreement, the Underwriters named therein
   may solicit offers to purchase Underwritten Securities from the Company
   pursuant to delayed delivery contracts ("Delayed Delivery Contracts") sub-
   stantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto with such changes therein as
   the Company may approve.  As compensation for arranging Delayed Delivery
   Contracts, the Company will pay to the Representative at Closing Time, for
   the accounts of the Underwriters, the fee specified in the Terms Agreement
   for each of the Underwritten Securities for which Delayed Delivery
   Contracts are made at Closing Time.  Any Delayed Delivery Contracts are to
   be with institutional investors of the types set forth in the Prospectus
   Supplement.  At Closing Time the Company will enter into Delayed Delivery
   Contracts (for not less than the minimum principal amount or number of
   Underwritten Securities per Delayed Delivery Contract specified in the
   applicable Terms Agreement) with all purchasers proposed by the Under-
   writers and previously approved by the Company as provided below, but not
   for an aggregate principal amount or number of Underwritten Securities in
   excess of that specified in the Terms Agreement.  The Underwriters will
   not have any responsibility for the validity or performance of Delayed
   Delivery Contracts.

        The Representative shall submit to the Company, at least three
   business days prior to Closing Time, the names of any institutional
   investors with which it is proposed that the Company will enter into
   Delayed Delivery Contracts and the principal amount or number of
   Underwritten Securities, as the case may be, to be purchased by each of
   them, and the Company will advise the Representative, at least two
   business days prior to Closing Time, of the names of the institutions with
   which the making of Delayed Delivery Contracts is approved by the Company
   and the principal amount or number of Underwritten Securities, as the case
   may be, to be covered by each such Delayed Delivery Contract.

        The principal amount or number of Underwritten Securities, as the
   case may be, agreed to be purchased by the respective Underwriters
   pursuant to the Terms Agreement shall be reduced by the principal amount
   or number of Underwritten Securities, as the case may be, covered by De-
   layed Delivery Contracts as to each Underwriter as set forth in a written
   notice delivered by the Representative to the Company; provided, however,
   that the total principal amount or number of Underwritten Securities, as
   the case may be, to be purchased by all Underwriters shall be the total
   amount or number of Underwritten Securities, as the case may be, covered
   by the applicable Terms Agreement, less the principal amount or number of
   Underwritten Securities, as the case may be, covered by Delayed Delivery
   Contracts.

        SECTION 3.  Covenants of the Company.  The Company covenants with the
   Representative, and with each Underwriter participating in the offering of
   Underwritten Securities, as follows:

             (a)  Immediately following the execution of the Terms Agreement,
        the Company will prepare a Prospectus Supplement setting forth the
        principal amount or number of Underwritten Securities, as the case
        may be, covered thereby and any of their terms not otherwise set
        forth in the Prospectus, the names of the Underwriters participating
        in the offering and the principal amount or the number of
        Underwritten Securities which each severally has agreed to purchase,
        the price at which the Underwritten Securities are to be purchased by
        the Underwriters from the Company, the initial public offering price,
        the selling concession and reallowance, if any, any delayed delivery
        arrangements, and such other information as the Representative and
        the Company deem appropriate in connection with the offering of the
        Underwritten Securities.  The Company will promptly transmit copies
        of the Prospectus Supplement to the Commission for filing pursuant to
        Rule 424 of the 1933 Act Regulations and will furnish to the Under-
        writers named therein as many copies of the Prospectus and such
        Prospectus Supplement as the Representative shall reasonably request.

             (b)  If, at any time when the Prospectus is required by law to
        be delivered in connection with sales of the Underwritten Securities,
        any event shall occur or condition exist as a result of which it is
        necessary, in the opinion of counsel for the Underwriters, to further
        amend or supplement the Prospectus in order that the Prospectus will
        not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state
        any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not mis-
        leading in the light of circumstances existing at the time it is
        delivered to a purchaser or if it shall be necessary, in the opinion
        of counsel for the Underwriters, at any such time to amend or
        supplement the Registration Statement or the Prospectus in order to
        comply with the requirements of the 1933 Act or the 1933 Act Regula-
        tions, the Company will forthwith prepare and file with the Commis-
        sion such amendment or supplement (in form and substance reasonably
        satisfactory to the Underwriters), whether by filing documents pursu-
        ant to the 1934 Act or otherwise, as may be necessary to correct such
        untrue statement or omission or to make the Registration Statement
        and Prospectus comply with such requirements.

             (c)  With respect to each sale of Underwritten Securities, the
        Company will make generally available to its security holders as soon
        as practicable, but not later than 90 days after the close of the
        period covered thereby, earnings statements (in form complying with
        the provisions of Rule 158 of the 1933 Act Regulations) covering 12-
        month periods beginning, in each case, not later than the first day
        of the Company's fiscal quarter next following the "effective date"
        of the Registration Statement or a post-effective amendment thereto
        (as defined in said Rule 158).

             (d)  The Company will use the net proceeds received by it from
        the sale of the Underwritten Securities in the manner described in
        the Prospectus under the caption "Use of Proceeds."

             (e)  At any time when the Prospectus is required by law to be
        delivered in connection with sales of the Underwritten Securities,
        the Company will give the Representative notice of its intention to
        file or prepare any amendment to the Registration Statement
        (including any post-effective amendment) or any amendment or supple-
        ment to the Prospectus (including any revised prospectus which the
        Company proposes for use by the Underwriters in connection with the
        offering of the Underwritten Securities which differs from the
        prospectus on file at the Commission at the time the Registration
        Statement becomes effective, whether or not such revised prospectus
        is required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the 1933 Act
        Regulations), whether pursuant to the 1934 Act, the 1933 Act or
        otherwise, will furnish the Representative with copies of any such
        amendment or supplement within a reasonable amount of time prior to
        such proposed filing or use, as the case may be, and will not file
        any such amendment or supplement or use any such prospectus to which
        the Representative or counsel for the Underwriters shall object.

             (f)  At any time when the Prospectus is required by law to be
        delivered in connection with sales of the Underwritten Securities,
        the Company will notify the Representative immediately, and confirm
        such notice in writing, of (i) the effectiveness of any amendment to
        the Registration Statement, (ii) the mailing or the delivery to the
        Commission for filing of any supplement to the Prospectus or any
        document to be filed pursuant to the 1934 Act, (iii) the receipt of
        any comments from the Commission with respect to the Registration
        Statement, the Prospectus or any supplement to the Prospectus,
        (iv) any request by the Commission for any amendment to the
        Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement to the
        Prospectus or for additional information and (v) the issuance by the
        Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the
        Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that
        purpose.  The Company will make every reasonable effort to prevent
        the issuance of any stop order and, if any stop order is issued, to
        obtain the lifting thereof at the earliest possible moment.

             (g)  The Company will deliver to the Representative one signed
        copy and as many conformed copies of the Registration Statement as
        originally filed and of each amendment thereto, whether filed before
        or after the Registration Statement becomes effective (including
        exhibits filed therewith or incorporated by reference therein and
        documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in
        the Prospectus) as the Representative may reasonably request and will
        also deliver to the Representative a conformed copy of the Registra-
        tion Statement as originally filed and of each amendment thereto
        (without exhibits) for each of the Underwriters.

             (h)  The Company will furnish to each Underwriter, from time to
        time during the period when the Prospectus is required by law to be
        delivered in connection with sales of the Underwritten Securities,
        such number of copies of the Prospectus (as amended or supplemented)
        as such Underwriter may reasonably request for the purposes
        contemplated by the 1933 Act, the 1933 Act Regulations, the 1934 Act
        or the 1934 Act Regulations. 

             (i)  The Company will endeavor, in cooperation with the
        Underwriters, to qualify the Underwritten Securities for offering and
        sale under the applicable securities laws of such jurisdictions as
        the Representative may designate; provided, however, that the Company
        shall not be obligated to file any general consent to service of
        process or to qualify as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction in
        which it is not so qualified.  The Company will maintain such quali-
        fications in effect for as long as may be required for the dis-
        tribution of the Underwritten Securities.  The Company will file such
        statements and reports as may be required by the laws of each
        jurisdiction in which the Underwritten Securities have been qualified
        as above provided.  The Company will inform the Florida Department of
        Banking and Finance if at any time prior to the completion of the
        distribution of the Underwritten Securities by the Underwriters it
        commences engaging in business with the government of Cuba or with
        any person located in Cuba, such information to be provided within 90
        days after the commencement thereof, or after a change occurs with
        respect to previously reported information.

             (j)  To the fullest extent permitted by applicable laws, the
        Company will not claim voluntarily, and will resist actively any
        attempts to claim the benefit of, any usury laws against the holders
        of the Debt Securities.

             (k)  The Company, during the period when the Prospectus is re-
        quired to be delivered by law in connection with the sale of the
        Underwritten Securities, will file all documents required to be filed
        with the Commission pursuant to Section 13, 14 or 15 of the 1934 Act
        within the time periods required by the 1934 Act and the 1934 Act
        Regulations.

             (l)  Between the date of the Terms Agreement and the later of
        termination of any trading restrictions or Closing Time with respect
        to the Underwritten Securities covered thereby, except for the
        issuance of Warrant Securities upon the exercise of Debt Warrants or
        Preferred Warrants, if any, the Company will not, without the Repre-
        sentative's prior written consent, directly or indirectly, sell,
        offer to sell, enter into any agreement to sell, grant any option for
        the sale of, or otherwise dispose of, any securities of or guaranteed
        by the Company or any of its subsidiaries which are similar to the
        Underwritten Securities covered by such Terms Agreement, or any
        securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any
        such Underwritten Securities or such similar securities, including
        additional Securities.

                  (m)  If provided in the applicable Terms Agreement, the
             Company will use its best efforts to effect the listing of the
             Underwritten Securities and any Warrant Securities issuable upon
             exercise of the Underwritten Securities on a national securities
             exchange.

        SECTION 4.  Conditions of Underwriters' Obligations.  The several
   obligations of the Underwriters to purchase Underwritten Securities
   pursuant to the Terms Agreement are subject to the accuracy of the
   representations and warranties on the part of the Company herein
   contained, to the accuracy of the statements of the Company's officers
   made in any certificate furnished pursuant to the provisions hereof, to
   the performance by the Company of all of its covenants and other
   obligations hereunder and to the following further conditions:

             (a)  At the applicable Closing Time (i) no stop order suspending
        the effectiveness of the Registration Statement shall have been
        issued under the 1933 Act or proceedings therefor initiated or
        threatened by the Commission, (ii) the ratings assigned by Moody's
        Investors Service, Inc. and Standard & Poor's Corporation to the
        Underwritten Securities or any other securities of, or guaranteed by,
        the Company or any of its subsidiaries as of the date of the Terms
        Agreement shall not have been lowered since the execution of such
        Terms Agreement and none of such securities rating agencies shall
        have publicly announced that it has under surveillance or review,
        with possible negative implications, its rating of the Underwritten
        Securities or any other securities of, or guaranteed by, the Company
        or any of its subsidiaries, and (iii) there shall not have come to
        the Representative's attention any facts that would cause the
        Representative to believe that the Prospectus, together with the
        applicable Prospectus Supplement, at the time it was required to be
        delivered to a purchaser of the Underwritten Securities, contained an
        untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material
        fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light
        of the circumstances existing at such time, not misleading.  The
        Prospectus Supplement prepared by the Company pursuant to Section
        3(a) hereof shall have been transmitted to the Commission for filing
        pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the 1933 Act Regulations within the pre-
        scribed time period and prior to Closing Time the Company shall have
        provided evidence satisfactory to the Representative of such timely
        filing, or a post-effective amendment shall have been promptly filed
        and declared effective in accordance with the requirements of Rule
        430A of the 1933 Act Regulations.

             (b)  At the applicable Closing Time, the Representative shall
        have received:

                  (1)  The favorable opinion, dated as of the applicable
             Closing Time, of Susan F. Marrinan, Vice President, Secretary
             and General Counsel of the Company, in form and substance satis-
             factory to the Representative, to the effect that:

                       (i)  The Company and each of its Significant
                  Subsidiaries is (a) a corporation duly incorporated and (b)

                  the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation.

                       (ii)  The Company and each of its Significant
                  Subsidiaries has the corporate power and authority to own,
                  lease and operate its properties and to conduct its busi-
                  ness as described in the Registration Statement.  

                       (iii)  The Company and each of its Significant
                  Subsidiaries is duly qualified as a foreign corporation to
                  transact business and is in good standing in each ju-
                  risdiction in which such qualification is required, except
                  where the failure to so qualify would not have a Material
                  Adverse Effect.

                       (iv)  (A) The authorized issued and outstanding
                  capital stock of the Company is as set forth in the
                  Prospectus and (B) all of the issued and outstanding shares
                  of capital stock of the Company have been duly authorized
                  and validly issued and are fully paid and non-assessable.

                       (v)  All of the issued and outstanding shares of
                  capital stock of each of the Company's Significant
                  Subsidiaries have been duly authorized and validly issued
                  and are fully paid and non-assessable.

                       (vi)  This Agreement and the Delayed Delivery
                  Contracts, if any, have been duly authorized, executed and
                  delivered by the Company.

                       (vii)  The Underwritten Securities have been duly
                  authorized for issuance and sale by the Company pursuant to
                  this Agreement and, when executed and authenticated as
                  specified in the applicable Securities Agreement and deliv-
                  ered against payment of the consideration therefor in
                  accordance with this Agreement, any Underwritten Securities
                  constituting capital stock of the Company will be validly
                  issued and fully paid and non-assessable and any other Un-
                  derwritten Securities will be valid and binding obligations
                  of the Company, in each case entitled to the benefits of
                  the applicable Securities Agreement and enforceable in
                  accordance with their terms, except as enforcement thereof
                  may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
                  moratorium or other similar laws relating to or affecting
                  creditors' rights generally or by general equitable princi-
                  ples (regardless of whether enforcement is considered in a
                  proceeding in equity or at law) and except further as en-
                  forcement thereof may be limited by (A) requirements that a
                  claim with respect to any Underwritten Securities denomi-
                  nated other than in U.S. dollars (or a foreign currency or
                  currency unit judgment in respect of such claim) be
                  converted into U.S. dollars at a rate of exchange pre-
                  vailing on a date determined pursuant to applicable law or
                  (B) governmental authority to limit, delay or prohibit the
                  making of payments outside the United States; and the
                  Warrant Securities, if any, have been duly authorized by
                  the Company and, when executed and authenticated as
                  specified in the applicable Securities Agreement and
                  delivered against payment pursuant to such Securities
                  Agreement, any Warrant Securities constituting capital
                  stock of the Company will be validly issued and fully paid
                  and non-assessable and any other Warrant Securities will be
                  valid and binding obligations of the Company, in each case
                  entitled to the benefits of the applicable Securities
                  Agreement and enforceable in accordance with their terms,
                  except as enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy,
                  insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar
                  laws relating to or affecting creditors' rights generally
                  or general equitable principles (regardless or whether
                  enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at
                  law) and except further as enforcement thereof is subject,
                  in the case of Warrant Securities denominated in a foreign
                  currency or currency unit, to provisions of law that re-
                  quire that a judgment for money damages rendered by a court
                  in the United States be expressed only in United States
                  dollars.

                       (viii)  The applicable Securities Agreement has been
                  duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and,
                  in the case of any Certificate of Designation, has been
                  filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware
                  and, in the case of any Indenture, has been duly qualified

                  the Company, enforceable in accordance with its terms, ex-
                  cept as enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy,
                  insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar
                  laws relating to or affecting creditors' rights generally
                  or by general equitable principles (regardless of whether
                  enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at
                  law) and except further as enforcement thereof is subject,

                       (ix)  The Underwritten Securities and the applicable
                  Securities Agreement conform in all material respects to
                  the descriptions thereof contained in the Prospectus and

                  incorporated by reference, as the case may be, as exhibits
                  to the Registration Statement; and the issuance of the
                  Underwritten Securities is not subject to any preemptive or
                  similar rights.

                       (x)  The Registration Statement is effective under the
                  1933 Act and, to the best of their knowledge and
                  information,  no stop order suspending the effectiveness of
                  the Registration Statement has been issued under the 1933
                  Act or proceedings therefor initiated or threatened by the
                  Commission.

                       (xi)  At the time the Registration Statement became
                  effective and at the Representation Date, the Registration
                  Statement and each amendment or supplement thereto (other
                  than the financial statements and supporting schedules in-
                  cluded therein and the Form T-1 of the Trustee under the
                  Indenture, as to which such counsel need express no opin-

                  1939 Act and the 1939 Act Regulations.

                       (xii)  Each document filed pursuant to the 1934 Act
                  (other than the financial statements and supporting
                  schedules included therein, as to which such counsel need
                  express no opinion) and incorporated or deemed to be
                  incorporated by reference in the Prospectus complied when
                  so filed as to form in all material respects with the 1934
                  Act and the 1934 Act Regulations.

                       (xiii)  There are no contracts, indentures, mortgages,
                  loan agreements, notes, leases or other agreements or in-
                  struments required to be described or referred to in the
                  Registration Statement or to be filed as Exhibits thereto
                  other than those described or referred to therein or filed
                  or incorporated by reference as exhibits thereto and the
                  descriptions thereof are correct, and, to the knowledge of
                  such counsel, no default exists in the due performance or

                  tion contained in any contract, indenture, mortgage, loan
                  agreement, note, lease or other agreement or instrument so
                  described, referred to, filed or incorporated by reference,
                  except where such default would not have a Material Adverse
                  Effect.

                       (xiv)  No authorization, approval, consent or order of
                  any court or governmental authority or agency is required

                  Underwritten Securities, except such as may be required
                  under the 1933 Act or the 1933 Act Regulations or state 
                  securities laws; and the execution, delivery and perfor-
                  mance of this Agreement, the applicable Securities
                  Agreement and the Securities and the consummation of the
                  transactions contemplated herein and therein will not con-
                  flict with or constitute a breach of, or a default
                  under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien,
                  charge or encumbrance upon any property or assets of the
                  Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries pursuant to,
                  any material contract, indenture, mortgage, loan agreement,
                  note, lease or other agreement or instrument to which the
                  Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries is a party
                  or by which any of them may be bound, or to which any of
                  the property or assets of the Company or any of its Signif-
                  icant Subsidiaries is subject, nor will such action result
                  in any violation of the provisions of the charter or by-
                  laws of the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries,
                  or any applicable law, administrative regulation or
                  administrative or court decree.

                       (xv)  To the knowledge of such counsel, there are no
                  legal or governmental proceedings pending or threatened
                  that are required to be disclosed in the Registration
                  Statement, other than those disclosed therein, and all
                  pending legal or governmental proceedings to which the
                  Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or to which
                  any of their property is subject which are not described in
                  the Registration Statement, including ordinary routine
                  litigation incidental to the business, are, considered in
                  the aggregate, not material.

                       (xvi)  The information in the Prospectus under
                  "Description of Debt Securities," "Description of Debt War-
                  rants," "Description of Preferred Stock," "Description of
                  Preferred Warrants" and "Description of Currency Warrants,"
                  to the extent that it constitutes matters of law, summaries
                  of legal matters, documents or proceedings, or legal
                  conclusions, has been reviewed by such counsel and is cor-
                  rect in all material respects.

                       (xvii)  Neither the Company nor any of its
                  subsidiaries is, or as a result of the transactions
                  contemplated by the Prospectus or the applicable Securities
                  Agreement would be, required to make any filing or to
                  register under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
                  amended.

                  (2)  The favorable opinion, dated as of the applicable
             Closing Time, of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom, counsel
             for the Underwriters, with respect to the matters set forth in
             (i)(b) (other than with respect to any of the Company's
             subsidiaries, as to which such counsel need express no opinion),
             and (vi), (vii), (viii), (x), (xi) and (xvi).

                  (3)  In giving her opinion required by clauses (i)-(xvii)
             of subsection (b)(1) of this Section 4, the General Counsel of
             the Company may rely, as to matters of fact, to the extent such
             counsel deems proper, on certificates of responsible officers of
             the Company and public officials, provided that copies of any
             such certificates are delivered to the Representative and coun-
             sel for the Representative, and, as to matters involving the
             application of laws of any jurisdiction other than the United
             States and jurisdictions in which such counsel is admitted, to
             the extent such counsel deems proper and specifies in such
             opinion and to the extent such opinion is satisfactory in form
             and scope to counsel for the Representative, upon the opinion of
             other counsel qualified in such jurisdictions whom such counsel
             believes are reliable and who are satisfactory to counsel for
             the Representative, provided that copies of any such opinions of
             other counsel shall be delivered to the Representative and coun-
             sel for the Representative.

                  In giving the opinions required by subsections (b)(1) and
             (b)(2) of this Section 4, each such counsel shall state that no
             facts have come to such counsel's attention that lead such
             counsel to believe (i) that the Registration Statement or any
             amendment thereto (except for the financial statements and sup-
             porting schedules and other financial or statistical data in-
             cluded or incorporated by reference therein and the Form T-1 of
             the Trustee under the Indenture, as to which such counsel need
             make no statement), at the time the Registration Statement or
             any such amendment became effective, or at the date of the Terms
             Agreement, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or
             omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein
             or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or
             (ii) that the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto
             (except for the financial statements and supporting schedules
             and other financial or statistical data included or incorporated
             by reference therein, as to which such counsel need make no
             statement), at the time the Prospectus was issued, at the time
             any such amended or supplemented Prospectus was issued or at the
             applicable Closing Time, included or includes an untrue state-
             ment of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material
             fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the
             light of the circumstances under which they were made, not mis-
             leading.

             (c)  At the applicable Closing Time, there shall not have been,
        since the date of the Terms Agreement or since the respective dates
        as of which information is given in the Registration Statement, any
        Material Adverse Change, and the Representative shall have received a
        certificate of the President or a Vice President of the Company and
        of the chief financial or chief accounting officer of the Company,
        dated as of such Closing Time, to the effect that (i) there has been
        no such Material Adverse Change, (ii) the other representations and
        warranties of the Company contained in Section 1 hereof are true and
        correct with the same force and effect as though such Closing Time
        were a Representation Date, (iii) the Company has complied in all
        material respects with all agreements and satisfied all conditions on
        its part to be performed or satisfied at or prior to the Closing Time
        and (iv) no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registra-
        tion Statement has been issued and, to the knowledge of such
        officers, no proceedings for that purpose have been initiated or
        threatened by the Commission.

             (d)  The Representative shall have received from Arthur Andersen
        LLP or other independent  public accountants acceptable to the
        Representative a letter, dated as of the date of the Terms Agreement
        and delivered at such time, in form and substance satisfactory to the
        Representative, to the effect that (i) they are independent public
        accountants with respect to the Company and its subsidiaries within
        the meaning of the 1933 Act and the 1933 Act Regulations; (ii) it is
        their opinion that the audited consolidated financial statements and
        supporting schedules included or incorporated in the Registration
        Statement and the Prospectus and covered by their opinions comply as
        to form in all material respects with the applicable accounting
        requirements of the 1933 Act and the 1933 Act Regulations and the
        1934 Act and 1934 Act Regulations; (iii) they have read the unaudited
        condensed consolidated interim balance sheet, statements of income,
        stockholders' equity and cash flows included or incorporated in the
        Registration Statement, and agreed the amounts contained therein with
        the Company's accounting records as of such date or for such period,
        and inquired of certain officials of the Company who have
        responsibility for financial and reporting matters as to whether such
        interim financial statements included or incorporated in the
        Registration Statement are in conformity with generally accepted
        accounting principles applied on a basis substantially consistent
        with that of the audited consolidated financial statements included
        or incorporated in the Registration Statement and comply as to form
        in all material respects with the applicable accounting requirements
        of the 1933 Act and the 1933 Act Regulations; (iv) based upon limited
        procedures set forth in detail in such letter, nothing has come to
        their attention which causes them to believe that (A) any unaudited
        interim consolidated financial statements of the Company included or
        incorporated in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus do not
        comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable ac-
        counting requirements of the 1933 Act and the 1933 Act Regulations
        and the 1934 Act and 1934 Act Regulations or are not in conformity
        with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a basis sub-
        stantially consistent with that of the audited consolidated financial
        statements of the Company included or incorporated by reference in
        the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, (B) at the date of the
        latest available consolidated balance sheet read by such accountants,
        and at a specified date not more than five days prior to the date of
        this Agreement, there has been any change in the capital stock of the
        Company and its subsidiaries (other than issuances of capital stock
        in the ordinary course of business pursuant to employee benefit plans
        of the Company) or any increase in the consolidated long-term debt or
        material increase in the consolidated short-term debt of the Company
        and its subsidiaries or any decrease in consolidated net current
        assets or net assets, as compared with the amounts shown in the
        latest balance sheet included in the Registration Statement or,
        during the period from the closing date of the latest income
        statement included in the Prospectus to a specified date not more
        than five days prior to the date of this Agreement, there were any
        decreases, as compared with the corresponding period in the preceding
        year, in consolidated revenues, net income or net income per share of
        the Company and its subsidiaries, except in all instances for
        changes, increases or decreases which the Registration Statement and
        the Prospectus disclose have occurred or may occur; and (v) in addi-
        tion to the examination referred to in their opinions and the limited
        procedures referred to in clause (iv) above, they have carried out
        certain specified procedures, not constituting an audit, with respect
        to certain amounts, percentages and financial information which are
        included in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus and which
        are specified by the Representative, and have found such amounts,
        percentages and financial information to be in agreement with the
        relevant accounting, financial and other records of the Company and
        its subsidiaries identified in such letter, excluding any questions
        of legal interpretation.

             (e)  The Representative shall have received from Arthur Andersen
        LLP or other independent  public accountants acceptable to the
        Representative a letter, dated as of the applicable Closing Time,
        reconfirming or updating the letter required by subsection (d) of
        this Section 4, in form and substance satisfactory to the Representa-
        tive.

             (f)  At the applicable Closing Time, Skadden, Arps, Slate,
        Meagher & Flom shall have been furnished with such documents and
        opinions as they may reasonably require for the purpose of enabling
        them to pass upon the issuance and sale of the Underwritten
        Securities as herein contemplated and related proceedings or in order
        to evidence the accuracy and completeness of any of the representa-
        tions and warranties, or the fulfillment of any of the conditions,
        herein contained; and all proceedings taken by the Company in
        connection with the issuance and sale of the Underwritten Securities
        as herein contemplated shall be reasonably satisfactory in form and
        substance to the Representative and counsel for the Underwriters.

             (g)  In the event the Underwriters exercise
        their option provided in a Terms Agreement as set forth in Section 2
        hereof to purchase all or any portion of the Option Securities, the
        representations and warranties of the Company contained herein and
        the statements in any certificates furnished by the Company hereunder
        shall be true and correct as of each Date of Delivery, and the
        Representative shall have received:

                  (1)  A certificate, dated such Date of
             Delivery, of the President or a Vice President and of the chief
             financial or chief accounting officer of the Company, confirming
             that the certificate delivered at Closing Time pursuant to
             Section 4(c) hereof remains true and correct as of such Date of
             Delivery.

             Marrinan, Vice President, Secretary and General Counsel of the

             Representative, dated such Date of Delivery, relating to the
             Option Securities and otherwise substantially to the same effect
             as the opinion required by Section 4(b)(1) hereof.

             Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom, counsel for the Underwriters, dated
             such Date of Delivery, relating to the Option Securities and
             otherwise to the same effect as of the opinion required by Sec-
             tion 4(b)(2) hereof.

                  (4)  A letter from Arthur Andersen LLP

             the same in scope and substance as the letter furnished to the

             Section 4(g)(4) shall be a date not more than five days prior to
             such Date of Delivery.

             (h) At the Closing Time, if provided for in the applicable Terms
        Agreement, the Underwritten Securities and any Warrant Securities
        issuable upon exercise of the Underwritten Securities shall have been
        approved for listing on such national securities exchange as desig-
        nated by the Representative, subject to official notice of issuance.

        If any condition specified in this Section 4 shall not have been ful-
   filled when and as required to be fulfilled, this Agreement may be termi-
   nated by the Representative by notice to the Company at any time at or

        SECTION 6.  Indemnification.  (a) The Company agrees to indemnify and
   hold harmless each Underwriter, its directors, officers and employees and
   each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of
   Section 15 of the 1933 Act as follows:

             (i)  against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and
        expense whatsoever, as incurred, arising out of any untrue statement
        or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the
        Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), including the
        information deemed to be part of the Registration Statement pursuant
        to Rule 430A(b) of the 1933 Act Regulations, if applicable, or any
        omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to
        be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
        misleading or arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue
        statement of a material fact contained in any Preliminary Prospectus
        Supplement or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto)
        or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact
        necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of
        the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

             (ii)  against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and
        expense whatsoever, as incurred, to the extent of the aggregate
        amount paid in settlement of any litigation, or any investigation or
        proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threat-
        ened, or of any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement
        or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission, if
        such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Company;
        and

             (iii)  against any and all expense whatsoever, as incurred
        (including, subject to Section 6(c) hereof, the fees and
        disbursements of counsel chosen by the Representative), reasonably
        incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litiga-
        tion, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency
        or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon
        any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue
        statement or omission, to the extent that any such expense is not
        paid under (i) or (ii) above;

   provided, however, that this indemnity agreement shall not apply to any
   loss, liability, claim, damage or expense to the extent arising out of any
   untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made
   in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to
   the Company by any Underwriter through the Representative expressly for
   use in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), any
   Preliminary Prospectus Supplement, the Prospectus (or any amendment or
   supplement thereto) or in the Form T-1 of the Trustee under the Indenture.

        (b)  Each Underwriter severally agrees to indemnify and hold harmless
   the Company, its directors, each of its officers who signs the
   Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company
   within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act against any and all loss,
   liability, claim, damage and expense described in subsection (a) of this
   Section 6, as incurred, but only with respect to untrue statements or
   omissions, or alleged untrue statements or omissions, made in the Regis-
   tration Statement (or any amendment thereto), any Preliminary Prospectus
   Supplement or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) in
   reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the
   Company by such Underwriter through the Representative expressly for use
   in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), any Preliminary
   Prospectus Supplement or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement
   thereto).

        (c)  Each indemnified party shall give notice as promptly as
   reasonably practicable to each indemnifying party of any action commenced
   against it in respect of  which indemnity may be sought hereunder, but
   failure to so notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve such
   indemnifying party from any liability which it may have otherwise than on
   account of this indemnity agreement.  An indemnifying party may
   participate at its own expense in the defense of any such action.  In no
   event shall the indemnifying parties be liable for fees and expenses of
   more than one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) separate from
   their own counsel for all indemnified parties in connection with any one
   action or separate but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction
   arising out of the same general allegations or circumstance.

        SECTION 7.  Contribution.  In order to provide for just and equitable
   contribution in circumstances in which the indemnity agreement provided
   for in Section 6 hereof is for any reason held to be unenforceable by the
   indemnified parties although applicable in accordance with its terms, the
   Company and the Underwriters shall contribute to the aggregate losses,
   liabilities, claims, damages and expenses of the nature contemplated by
   said indemnity agreement incurred by the Company and one or more of the
   Underwriters, as incurred, in such proportions that the Underwriters are
   responsible for that portion represented by the percentage that the
   underwriting discount appearing on the cover page of the Prospectus bears
   to the initial public offering price appearing thereon and the Company is
   responsible for the balance; provided, however, that no person guilty of
   fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the
   1933 Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not
   guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.  For purposes of this
   Section, each person, if any, who controls an Underwriter within the
   meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act shall have the same rights to
   contribution as such Underwriter, and each director of the Company, each
   officer of the Company who signed the Registration Statement, and each
   person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15
   of the 1933 Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company.

        SECTION 8.  Representations, Warranties and Agreements to Survive
   Delivery.  All representations, warranties and agreements contained in
   this Agreement, or contained in certificates of officers of the Company
   submitted pursuant hereto, shall remain operative and in full force and
   effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any
   Underwriter or controlling person, or by or on behalf of the Company, and
   shall survive delivery of any Underwritten Securities to the Underwriters.

        SECTION 9.  Termination.  (a)  The Representative may terminate this
   Agreement, upon notice to the Company, at any time prior to the applicable
   Closing Time (i) if there has been, since the date of the Terms Agreement
   or since the respective dates as of which information is given in the
   Registration Statement, any Material Adverse Change, or (ii) if there has
   occurred any material adverse change in the financial markets in the
   United States or elsewhere or any outbreak of hostilities or escalation
   thereof or other calamity or crisis the effect of which is such as to make
   it, in the judgment of the Representative, impracticable to market the
   Underwritten Securities or enforce contracts for the sale of the Under-
   written Securities, or (iii) if the rating assigned by any nationally
   recognized securities rating agency to any securities of, or guaranteed
   by, the Company or any of its subsidiaries shall have been lowered or if
   any such rating agency shall have publicly announced that it has under
   surveillance or review, with possible negative implications, its rating of
   any securities of, or guaranteed by, the Company or any of its
   subsidiaries, or (iv) if trading in the Common Stock has been suspended by
   the Commission or a national securities exchange or if trading on either
   the American Stock Exchange or the New York Stock Exchange has been
   suspended, or minimum or maximum prices for trading have been fixed, or
   maximum ranges for prices for securities have been required, by either of
   said exchanges or by order of the Commission or any other governmental
   authority, or if a banking moratorium has been declared by either Federal
   or New York authorities.  

             (b)  In the event of any such termination, (i) the covenants set
   forth in Section 3 hereof with respect to any offering of Underwritten
   Securities shall remain in effect so long as any Underwriter retains
   beneficial ownership of any such Underwritten Securities purchased from
   the Company pursuant to the applicable Terms Agreement and (ii) the cove-
   nant set forth in Section 3(c) hereof, the provisions of Section 5 hereof,
   the indemnity agreement set forth in Section 6 hereof, the contribution
   provisions set forth in Section 7 hereof and the provisions of Sections 8
   and 13 hereof shall remain in effect.

        SECTION 10.  Default by One or More of the Underwriters.  If one or
   more of the Underwriters participating in an offering of Securities shall
   fail at the applicable Closing Time to purchase the Underwritten
   Securities which it or they are obligated to purchase under the applicable
   Terms Agreement (the "Defaulted Securities"), then the Representative
   shall have the right, within 24 hours thereafter, to make arrangements for
   one or more of the non-defaulting Underwriters, or any other underwriters,
   to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Defaulted Securities in
   such amounts as may be agreed upon and upon the terms herein set forth; if
   however, the Representative shall not have completed such arrangements
   within such 24-hour period, then:

             (a)  if the aggregate amount of Defaulted Securities does not
        exceed 10% of the aggregate amount of the Underwritten Securities to
        be purchased pursuant to the Terms Agreement, the non-defaulting
        Underwriters named in such Terms Agreement shall be obligated to
        purchase the full amount thereof in the proportions that their
        respective underwriting obligations thereunder bear to the
        underwriting obligations of all such non-defaulting Underwriters, or

             (b)  if the aggregate amount of Defaulted Securities exceeds 10%
        of the aggregate amount of the Underwritten Securities to be pur-
        chased pursuant to such Terms Agreement, the Terms Agreement shall
        terminate without any liability on the part of any non-defaulting
        Underwriters.

             No action taken pursuant to this Section 10 shall relieve any
   defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect of its default.

             In the event of a default by any Underwriter or Underwriters as
   set forth in this Section 10, either the Representative or the Company
   shall have the right to postpone the applicable Closing Time for a period
   not exceeding seven days in order to effect any required changes in the
   Registration Statement or Prospectus or in any other documents or
   arrangements.

        SECTION 11.  Notices.  All notices and other communications hereunder
   shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if mailed
   or transmitted by any standard form of telecommunication.  Notices to the
   Underwriters shall be directed to the Representative, with a copy to
   Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom, 333 West Wacker Drive, Suite 2100,
   Chicago, Illinois 60606, Attention:  William R. Kunkel; notices to the
   Company shall be directed to it at 2801-80th Street, Kenosha, Wisconsin
   53141-1410, Attention: Susan F. Marrinan, Vice President, Secretary and
   General Counsel.

        SECTION 12.  Parties.  This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of
   and be binding upon the Company and any Underwriter who becomes a party
   hereto, and their respective successors.  Nothing expressed or mentioned
   in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any person,
   firm or corporation, other than the Company, such Underwriters and their
   respective successors and the controlling persons and officers and
   directors referred to in Sections 6 and 7 hereof and their heirs and legal
   representatives, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in
   respect of this Agreement or any provision herein contained.  This
   Agreement and all conditions and provisions hereof are intended to be for
   the sole and exclusive benefit of the Company, such Underwriters and their
   respective successors and said controlling persons and officers and direc-
   tors and their heirs and legal representatives, and for the benefit of no
   other person, firm or corporation.  No purchaser of Underwritten Secu-
   rities from any Underwriter shall be deemed to be a successor by reason
   merely of such purchase.

        SECTION 13.  Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by and
   construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable
   to agreements made and to be performed in said State.

        SECTION 14.  Counterparts.  The Terms Agreement may be executed in
   one or more counterparts, and if executed in more than one counterpart,
   the executed counterparts shall constitute a single instrument.

   Prospectus Supplement dated         , 199 , receipt of which is hereby ac-
   knowledged at a purchase price of ___________________ to the Delivery
   Date, and on the further terms and conditions set forth in this contract.

   between the Company and the Underwriters.  The obligation of the

   be affected by the failure of any purchaser to take delivery of and make
   payments for Securities pursuant to other contracts similar to this
   contract.  The undersigned represents and warrants to you that its
   investment in the Securities is not, as of the date hereof, prohibited
   under the laws of any jurisdiction to which the undersigned is subject and

   to the Company that all necessary corporate action for the due execution
   and delivery of this contract and the payment for and purchase of the
   Securities has been taken by it and no further authorization or approval
   of any governmental or other regulatory authority is required for such
   execution, delivery, payment or purchase, and that, upon acceptance hereof
   by the Company and mailing or delivery of a copy as provided below, this
   contract will constitute a valid and binding agreement of the undersigned
   in accordance with its terms.

             This contract will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon
   the parties hereto and their respective successors, but will not be
   assignable by either party hereto without the written consent of the
   other.

             It is understood that the Company will not accept Delayed
   Delivery Contracts for an amount of Securities in excess of __________ and
   that the acceptance of any Delayed Delivery Contract is in the Company's
   sole discretion and, without limiting the foregoing, need not be on a
   first-come, first-served basis.  If this contract is acceptable to the
   Company, it is requested that the Company sign the form of acceptance on a
   copy hereof and mail or deliver a signed copy hereof to the undersigned at
   its address set forth below.  This will become a binding contract between
   the Company and the undersigned when such copy is so mailed or delivered.

   York.

   request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver
   hereunder, and for the purpose of making the calculations required by TIA
   Section 313, (i) the principal amount of an Original Issue Discount
   Security that may be counted in making such determination or calculation
   and that shall be deemed to be Outstanding for such purpose shall be equal
   to the amount of principal thereof that would be (or shall have been
   declared to be) due and payable, at the time of such determination, upon a
   declaration of acceleration of the maturity thereof pursuant to Section
   5.2, (ii) the principal amount of any Security denominated in a Foreign
   Currency that may be counted in making such determination or calculation
   and that shall be deemed Outstanding for such purpose shall be equal to
   the Dollar equivalent, determined as of the date such Security is
   originally issued by the Company as set forth in an Exchange Rate
   Officer's Certificate delivered to the Trustee, of the principal amount

   equivalent as of such date of original issuance of the amount determined
   as provided in clause (i) above) of such Security, (iii) the principal
   amount of any Indexed Security that may be counted in making such
   determination  or calculation and that shall be deemed Outstanding for
   such purpose shall be equal to the principal face amount of such Indexed
   Security at original issuance, unless otherwise provided with respect to
   such Security pursuant to Section 3.1, and (iv) Securities owned by the
   Company or any other obligor upon the Securities or any Affiliate of the
   Company or such other obligor shall be disregarded and deemed not to be
   Outstanding, except that, in determining whether the Trustee shall be
   protected in making such calculation or in relying upon any such request,
   demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver, only
   Securities which the Trustee knows to be so owned shall be so disregarded. 
   Securities so owned which have been pledged in good faith may be regarded
   as Outstanding if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the

   that the pledgee is not the Company or any other obligor upon the
   Securities or any Affiliate of the Company or of such other obligor.

             Every certificate or opinion with respect to compliance with a

   an opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such
   matters be certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such
   Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but
   one such Person may certify or give an opinion as to some matters and one
   or more other such Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may
   certify or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents.

             With respect to matters of law, an Officers' Certificate may be
   based upon an Opinion of Counsel, unless the signers know, or in the
   exercise of reasonable care should know, that such Opinion of Counsel is
   erroneous.  With respect to matters of fact, an Opinion of Counsel may
   rely on an Officers' Certificate or certificates of public officials,
   unless the signer knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should
   know, that any such document is erroneous.

             Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or
   more applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions
   or other instruments under this Indenture, they may, but need not, be
   consolidated and form one instrument.

             Section 1.4  Acts of Holders.  (a)  Any request, demand,
   authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided
   by this Indenture to be given or taken by Holders of the Outstanding
   Securities of all series or one or more series, as the case may be, may be
   embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially
   similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by agents duly appointed
   in writing.  Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied
   therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the
   "Act" of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments.  Proof of
   execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such
   agent, or of the holding by any Person of a Security, shall be sufficient
   for any purpose of this Indenture and conclusive in favor of the Trustee
   and the Company and any agent of the Trustee or the Company, if made in
   the manner provided in this Section 1.4. 

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

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

                  (d)  The ownership of Bearer Securities may be proved by
   the production of such Bearer Securities or by a certificate executed, as
   depository, by any trust company, bank, banker or other depository,
   wherever situated, if such certificate shall be deemed by the Trustee to
   be satisfactory, showing that at the date therein mentioned such Person
   had on deposit with such depository, or exhibited to it, the Bearer
   Securities therein described; or such facts may be proved by the
   certificate or affidavit of the Person holding such Bearer Securities, if
   such certificate or affidavit is deemed by the Trustee to be satisfactory. 
   The Trustee and the Company may assume that such ownership of any Bearer
   Security continues until (1) another certificate or affidavit bearing a
   later date issued in respect of the same Bearer Security is produced, or
   (2) such Bearer Security is produced to the Trustee by some other Person,
   or (3) such Bearer Security is surrendered in exchange for a Registered
   Security, or (4) such Bearer Security is no longer Outstanding.  The
   ownership of Bearer Securities may also be proved in any other manner
   which the Trustee deems sufficient.

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

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

             Section 1.5  Notices, etc., to Trustee and Company.  Any
   request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act
   of Holders or other document provided or permitted by this Indenture to be
   made upon, given or furnished to, or filed with, the Trustee by any Holder
   or by the Company, or the Company by the Trustee or by any Holder, shall
   be sufficient for every purpose hereunder (unless otherwise herein
   expressly provided) if given in writing and delivered in person or by
   registered or certified mail (postage prepaid, return receipt requested),
   telex, telecopier or overnight air courier guaranteeing next day delivery,
   addressed as follows:

             If to the Company:

             Snap-On Incorporated
             2801 80th Street
             Kenosha, Wisconsin  53141-1410
             Telecopy:  414-656-5717
             Attention:  General Counsel

             If to the Trustee:

             Firstar Trust Company
             615 East Michigan Street
             4th Floor
             Milwaukee, Wisconsin  53202
             Telecopy:  414-287-3904
             Attention:  Corporate Trust Services

             The Company or the Trustee by notice to the others may designate
   additional or different addresses for subsequent notices or
   communications.

             Any notice or communication to the Company or the Trustee shall
   be deemed to have been duly given or made at the time delivered by hand if
   personally delivered; five calendar days after mailing if sent by
   registered or certified mail; when answered back, if telexed; when receipt
   is acknowledged, if telecopied; and the next Business Day after timely
   delivery to the courier, if sent by overnight air courier guaranteeing
   next day delivery (except that a notice of change of address shall not be
   deemed to have been given until actually received by the addressee).

             If a notice or communication is mailed in the manner provided
   above with the time prescribed, it is duly given, whether or not the
   addressee receives it.

             Section 1.6  Notice to Holders; Waiver.  Where this Indenture
   provides for notice of any event to Holders of Registered Securities by
   the Company or the Trustee, such notice shall be sufficiently given
   (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed,
   first-class postage prepaid, to each such Holder affected by such event,
   at its address as it appears in the Security Register, not later than the
   latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the
   giving of such notice.  In any case where notice to Holders of Registered
   Securities is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, or
   any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder shall affect
   the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders of Registered
   Securities or the sufficiency of any notice to Holders of Bearer
   Securities given as provided herein.  Any notice mailed to a Holder in the
   manner herein prescribed shall be conclusively deemed to have been
   received by such Holder, whether or not such Holder actually receives such
   notice.

             If by reason of the suspension of or irregularities in regular
   mail service or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to
   give such notice by mail, then such notification to Holders of Registered
   Securities as shall be made with the approval of the Trustee shall
   constitute a sufficient notification to such Holders for every purpose
   hereunder.

             Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or otherwise
   specified with respect to any Securities pursuant to Section 3.1, where
   this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of Bearer Securities of any
   event, such notice shall be sufficiently given if published in an
   Authorized Newspaper in The City of New York and in such other city or
   cities as may be specified in such Securities on two separate Business
   Days, such publications to be not later than the latest date, and not
   earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice. 
   Any such notice shall be deemed to have been given on the first date of
   such publications.

             If by reason of the suspension of publication of any Authorized
   Newspaper or Authorized Newspapers or by reason of any other cause it
   shall be impracticable to publish any notice to Holders of Bearer
   Securities as provided above, then such notification to Holders of Bearer
   Securities as shall be given with the approval of the Trustee shall
   constitute sufficient notice to such Holders for every purpose hereunder. 
   Neither the failure to give notice by publication to Holders of Bearer
   Securities as provided above, nor any defect in any notice so published,
   shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders
   of Bearer Securities or the sufficiency of any notice to Holders of
   Registered Securities given as provided herein.

             Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent
   or waiver required or permitted under this Indenture shall be in the
   English language, except that any published notice may be in an official
   language of the country of publication.

             Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such
   notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such
   notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the
   equivalent of such notice.  Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed
   with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to
   the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.

             Section 1.7  Effect of Headings and Table of Contents.  The
   Article and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for
   convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.

             Section 1.8  Successors and Assigns.  All covenants and
   agreements in this Indenture and the Securities by the Company shall bind
   its successors and assigns, and all agreements in this Indenture by the
   Trustee shall bind its successors, whether so expressed or not.

             Section 1.9  Separability Clause.  In case any provision in this
   Indenture or in any Security or coupon shall be invalid, illegal or
   unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining
   provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

             Section 1.10  Benefits of Indenture.  Nothing in this Indenture
   or in the Securities or coupons, express or implied, shall give to any
   Person, other than the parties hereto, any Security Registrar, any Paying
   Agent, any Authenticating Agent and their successors hereunder and the
   Holders any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under
   this Indenture.

             Section 1.11  Governing Law.  This Indenture and the Securities
   and coupons shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law
   of the State of New York.  This Indenture is subject to the provisions of
   the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, that are required to be part
   of this Indenture and shall, to the extent applicable, be governed by such
   provisions.

             Section 1.12  Legal Holidays.  In any case where any Interest
   Payment Date, Redemption Date, Repayment Date, sinking fund payment date,
   Stated Maturity or Maturity of any Security shall not be a Business Day at
   any Place of Payment, then (notwithstanding any other provision of the
   Indenture or any Security or coupon other than a provision in the
   Securities of any series which specifically states that such provision
   shall apply in lieu of this Section), payment of interest or any
   Additional Amounts or principal (and premium, if any) need not be made at
   such Place of Payment on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding
   Business Day at such Place of Payment with the same force and effect as if
   made on the Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date, Repayment Date or
   sinking fund payment date, or at the Stated Maturity, provided that no
   interest shall accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and
   after such Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date, Repayment Date, sinking
   fund payment date, Stated Maturity or Maturity, as the case may be.

             Section 1.13  Communication by Holders with Other Holders. 
   Holders may communicate pursuant to TIA Section 312(b) with other Holders
   with respect to their rights under this Indenture or the Securities.  The
   Company, the Trustee, the Registrar and anyone else shall have the
   protection of TIA Section 312(c).

             Section 1.14  Counterparts.  This Indenture may be executed in
   any number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to
   be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but
   one and the same Indenture.

             Section 1.15   No Recourse Against Others.        A director,
   officer, employee or stockholder, as such, of the Company shall not have
   any liability for any obligations of the Company under the Securities or
   this Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of
   such obligations or their creation.  Each Holder by accepting a Security
   waives and releases all such liability.  The waiver and release are part
   of the consideration for the issue of Securities.    

             Section 1.16   No Adverse Interpretation of Other Agreements.  
   This Indenture may not be used to interpret another indenture, loan or
   debt agreement of the Company or any Subsidiary.  Any such indenture, loan

             Section 2.1  Forms of Securities.  The Registered Securities, if
   any, of each series and the Bearer Securities, if any, of each series and
   related coupons shall be in substantially the forms as shall be
   established in one or more indentures supplemental hereto or approved from
   time to time by or pursuant to a Board Resolution in accordance with
   Section 3.1, shall have such appropriate insertions, omissions,
   substitutions and other variations as are required or permitted by this
   Indenture or any indenture supplemental hereto, and may have such letters,
   numbers or other marks of identification or designation and such legends
   or endorsements placed thereon as the Company may deem appropriate and as
   are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture, or as may be
   required to comply with any law or with any rule or regulation made
   pursuant thereto or with any rule or regulation of any stock exchange on
   which the Securities may be listed, or to conform to usage.

             Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.1,
   Bearer Securities shall have interest coupons attached.

             The definitive Securities and coupons shall be printed,
   lithographed or engraved or produced by any combination of these methods
   on a steel engraved border or steel engraved borders or may be produced in
   any other manner, all as determined by the officers executing such
   Securities or coupons, as evidenced by their execution of such Securities
   or coupons.

             Section 2.2  Form of Trustee's Certificate of Authentication. 
   Subject to Section 6.11, the Trustee's certificate of authentication shall
   be in substantially the following form:

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

                                 Firstar Trust Company, as Trustee



                                 By:                                          
                   
                                     Authorized Signatory


             Section 2.3  Securities Issuable in Global Form.  If Securities
   of or within a series are issuable in global form, as specified as
   contemplated by Section 3.1, then, notwithstanding clause (13) of Section
   3.1 and the provisions of Section 3.2, any such Security shall represent
   such of the Outstanding Securities of such series as shall be specified
   therein and may provide that it shall represent the aggregate amount of
   Outstanding Securities of such series from time to time endorsed thereon
   and that the aggregate amount of Outstanding Securities of such series
   represented thereby may from time to time be increased or decreased to
   reflect exchanges.  Any endorsement of a Security in global form to
   reflect the amount, or any increase or decrease in the amount, of
   Outstanding Securities represented thereby shall be made by the Trustee in
   such manner and upon instructions given by such Person or Persons as shall
   be specified therein or in the Company Order to be delivered to the
   Trustee pursuant to Section 3.3 or 3.4.  Subject to the provisions of
   Section 3.3 and, if applicable, Section 3.4, the Trustee shall deliver and
   redeliver any Security in permanent global form in the manner and upon
   instructions given by the Person or Persons specified therein or in the
   applicable Company Order.  If a Company Order pursuant to Section 3.3 or
   3.4 has been, or simultaneously is, delivered, any instructions by the
   Company with respect to endorsement or delivery or redelivery of a
   Security in global form shall be in writing but need not comply with
   Section 1.2 and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel.

             The provisions of the last sentence of Section 3.3 shall apply
   to any Security represented by a Security in global form if such Security
   was never issued and sold by the Company and the Company delivers to the
   Trustee the Security in global form together with written instructions
   (which need not comply with Section 1.2 and need not be accompanied by an
   Opinion of Counsel) with regard to the reduction in the principal amount
   of Securities represented thereby, together with the written statement
   contemplated by the last sentence of Section 3.3.

             Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.7, unless otherwise
   specified as  contemplated by Section 3.1, payment of principal of and any
   premium and interest on any Security in permanent global form shall be
   made to the Person or Persons specified therein.

             Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.9 and except as
   provided in the preceding paragraph, the Company, the Trustee and any
   agent of the Company and the Trustee shall treat as the Holder of such
   principal amount of Outstanding Securities represented by a permanent
   global Security (i) in the case of a permanent global Security in
   registered form, the Holder of such permanent global Security in
   registered form, or (ii) in the case of a permanent global Security in
   bearer form, Euroclear or CEDEL.

        Security on any Interest Payment Date, or the method by which
        such date shall be determined, and the basis upon which interest

        Registered Securities, Bearer Securities (with or without
        coupons) or both, any restrictions applicable to the offer, sale
        or delivery of Bearer Securities and the terms upon which Bearer
        Securities of the series may be exchanged for Registered
        Securities of the series and vice versa (if permitted by

        series shall be payable or in which the Securities of the series

        premium, if any) or interest, if any, on the Securities of the
        series may be determined with reference to an index, formula or
        other method (which index, formula or method may be based,
        without limitation, on one or more currencies, currency units,
        composite currencies, commodities, equity indices or other
        indices), and the manner in which such amounts shall be
        determined;

             (11)  whether the Company or a Holder may elect payment of
        the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest or Additional

        ing Securities of the series shall be dated if other than the
        date of original issuance of the first Security of the series to
        be issued;

             (16)  the applicability, if at all, of Section 14.2 or 14.3
        to the Securities of the series and any provisions in
        modification of, in addition to or in lieu of any of the

             (17)  the Person to whom any interest on any Registered

        Person in whose name that Security (or one or more Predecessor
        Securities) is registered at the close of business on the
        Regular Record Date for such interest, the manner in which, or
        the Person to whom, any interest on any Bearer Security of the
        series shall be payable, if otherwise than upon presentation and
        surrender of the coupons appertaining thereto as they severally
        mature, and the extent to which, or the manner in which, any

             (18)  if the Securities of such series are to be issuable
        in definitive form (whether upon original issue or upon exchange
        of a temporary Security of such series) only upon receipt of
        certain certificates or other documents or satisfaction of other
        conditions, then the form and terms of such certificates,
        documents or conditions;

             (19)  if the Securities of the series are to be issued upon
        the exercise of warrants, the time, manner and place for such

        (and the terms of any such option);

             (21)  provisions, if any, granting special rights to the
        Holders of Securities of the series upon the occurrence of such

             (23)  the designation of the initial Exchange Rate Agent,

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

             All Securities of any one series and the coupons appertaining to
   any Bearer Securities of such series shall be substantially identical
   except, in the case of Registered Securities, as to denomination and
   except as may otherwise be provided in or pursuant to such Board
   Resolution (subject to Section 3.3) and set forth in such Officers'
   Certificate or in any such indenture supplemental hereto.  All Securities
   of any one series need not be issued at the same time and, unless
   otherwise provided, a series may be reopened, without the consent of the
   Holders, for issuances of additional Securities of such series.

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

             Section 3.2  Denominations.  The Securities of each series shall
   be issuable in such denominations as shall be specified as contemplated by
   Section 3.1.  With respect to Securities of any series denominated in
   Dollars, in the absence of any such provisions with respect to the
   Securities of any series, the Registered Securities of such series, other
   than Registered Securities issued in global form (which may be of any
   denomination) shall be issuable in denominations of $1,000 and any
   integral multiple thereof, and the Bearer Securities of such series, other
   than Bearer Securities issued in global form (which may be of any
   denomination), shall be issuable in a denomination of $5,000.

             Section 3.3  Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating. 
   The Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto shall be executed on
   behalf of the Company by its Chairman, its President or one of its Vice
   Presidents, under its corporate seal reproduced thereon, and attested by
   its Secretary or one of its Assistant Secretaries.  The signature of any
   of these officers on the Securities and coupons may be manual or facsimile
   signatures of the present or any future such authorized officer and may be
   imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the Securities.

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

             At any time and from time to time after the execution of this
   Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities of any series, together with
   any coupon appertaining thereto, executed by the Company to the Trustee
   for authentication, together with a Company Order for the authentication
   and delivery of such Securities, and the Trustee in accordance with the
   Company Order shall authenticate and deliver such Securities; provided,
   however, that, in connection with its original issuance, no Bearer
   Security shall be mailed or otherwise delivered to any location in the
   United States; and provided further that, unless otherwise specified with
   respect to any series of Securities pursuant to Section 3.1, a Bearer
   Security may be delivered in connection with its original issuance only if
   the Person entitled to receive such Bearer Security shall have furnished a
   certificate in the form set forth in Exhibit A-1 to this Indenture or such
   other certificate as may be specified with respect to any series of
   Securities pursuant to Section 3.1, dated no earlier than 15 days prior to
   the earlier of the date on which such Bearer Security is delivered and the
   date on which any temporary Security first becomes exchangeable for such
   Bearer Security in accordance with the terms of such temporary Security
   and this Indenture.  If any Security shall be represented by a permanent
   global Bearer Security, then, for purposes of this Section and Section
   3.4, the notation of a beneficial owner's interest therein upon original
   issuance of such Security or upon exchange of a portion of a temporary
   global Security shall be deemed to be delivery in connection with its
   original issuance of such beneficial owner's interest in such permanent
   global Security.  Except as permitted by Section 3.6, the Trustee shall
   not authenticate and deliver any Bearer Security unless all appurtenant
   coupons for interest then matured have been detached and cancelled.  If
   all the Securities of any series are not to be issued at one time and if
   the Board Resolution or supplemental indenture establishing such series
   shall so permit, such Company Order may set forth procedures acceptable to
   the Trustee for the issuance of such Securities and determining the terms
   of particular Securities of such series, such as interest rate, maturity
   date, date of issuance and date from which interest shall accrue.  In
   authenticating such Securities, and accepting the additional
   responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Securities, the
   Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to TIA Sections 315(a)
   through 315(d)) shall be fully protected in relying upon,

             (i)  an Opinion of Counsel stating,

                  (a)  that the form or forms of such Securities
             and any coupons have been established in conformity
             with the provisions of this Indenture;

                  (b)  that the terms of such Securities and any
             coupons have been established in conformity with the
             provisions of this Indenture; and

                  (c)  that such Securities, together with any
             coupons appertaining thereto, when completed by
             appropriate insertions and executed and delivered by
             the Company to the Trustee for authentication in
             accordance with this Indenture, authenticated and
             delivered by the Trustee in accordance with this
             Indenture and issued by the Company in the manner and
             subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of
             Counsel, will constitute legal, valid and binding
             obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance
             with their terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy,
             insolvency, reorganization and other similar laws of
             general applicability relating to or affecting the en-
             forcement of creditors' rights, to general equitable
             principles and to such other qualifications as such
             counsel shall conclude do not materially affect the
             rights of Holders of such Securities and any coupons;
             and

             (ii)  an Officers' Certificate stating, to the best of the
        knowledge of the signers of such certificate, that no Event of
        Default with respect to any of the Securities shall have
        occurred and be continuing.

   If such form or terms have been so established, the Trustee shall not be
   required to authenticate such Securities if the issue of such Securities
   pursuant to this Indenture will affect the Trustee's own rights, duties,
   obligations or immunities under the Securities and this Indenture or
   otherwise in a manner which is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. 
   Notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing, the Trustee will not be
   required to authenticate Securities denominated in a Foreign Currency if
   the Trustee reasonably believes that it would be unable to perform its
   duties with respect to such Securities.

             Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.1 and of the
   preceding paragraph, if all the Securities of any series are not to be
   issued at one time, it shall not be necessary to deliver an Officers'
   Certificate otherwise required pursuant to Section 3.1 or a Company Order,
   or an Opinion of Counsel or an Officers' Certificate otherwise required
   pursuant to the preceding paragraph at the time of issuance of each
   Security of such series, but such order, opinion and certificates, with
   appropriate modifications to cover such future issuances, shall be
   delivered at or before the time of issuance of the first Security of such
   series.

             Each Registered Security shall be dated the date of its
   authentication and each Bearer Security shall be dated as of the date
   specified as contemplated by Section 3.1.

             No Security or coupon shall be entitled to any benefit under
   this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there
   appears on such Security or Security to which such coupon appertains a
   certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for
   herein duly executed by the Trustee by manual signature of an authorized
   signatory, and such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive
   evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security has been duly
   authenticated and delivered hereunder and is entitled to the benefits of
   this Indenture.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Security shall have
   been authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by
   the Company, and the Company shall deliver such Security to the Trustee
   for cancellation as provided in Section 3.10 together with a written
   statement (which need not comply with Section 1.2 and need not be
   accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel) stating that such Security has never
   been issued and sold by the Company, for all purposes of this Indenture
   such Security shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and
   delivered hereunder and shall never be entitled to the benefits of this
   Indenture.

             Section 3.4  Temporary Securities.  (a)  Pending the preparation
   of definitive Securities of any series, the Company may execute, and upon
   Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary
   Securities which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or
   otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the
   tenor of the definitive Securities in lieu of which they are issued, in
   registered form, or, if authorized, in bearer form with one or more
   coupons or without coupons, and with such appropriate insertions,
   omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers executing
   such Securities may determine, as conclusively evidenced by their
   execution of such Securities.  In the case of Securities of any series,
   such temporary Securities may be in global form.

             Except in the case of temporary Securities in global form (which
   shall be exchanged in accordance with Section 3.4(b) or as otherwise
   provided in or pursuant to a Board Resolution), if temporary Securities of
   any series are issued, the Company will cause definitive Securities of
   that series to be prepared without unreasonable delay.  After the
   preparation of definitive Securities of such series, the temporary
   Securities of such series shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities
   of such series, the temporary Securities of such series at the office or
   agency of the Company in a Place of Payment for that series, without
   charge to the Holder.  Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more
   temporary Securities of any series (accompanied by any non-matured coupons
   appertaining thereto), the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall
   authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of
   definitive Securities of the same series of authorized denominations;
   provided, however, that no definitive Bearer Security shall be delivered
   in exchange for a temporary Registered Security; and provided further that
   a definitive Bearer Security shall be delivered in exchange for a
   temporary Bearer Security only in compliance with the conditions set forth
   in Section 3.3.  Until so exchanged, the temporary Securities of any
   series shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this
   Indenture as definitive Securities of such series.

                  (b)  Unless otherwise provided in or pursuant to a Board
   Resolution, this Section 3.4(b) shall govern the exchange of temporary
   Securities issued in global form.  If temporary Securities of any series
   are issued in global form, any such temporary global Security shall,
   unless otherwise provided therein, be delivered to the London office of a
   depository or common depository (the "Common Depository"), for the benefit
   of Euroclear and CEDEL, for credit to the respective accounts of the
   beneficial owners of such Securities (or to such other accounts as they
   may direct).

             Without unnecessary delay but in any event not later than the
   date specified in, or determined pursuant to the terms of, any such
   temporary global Security (the "Exchange Date"), the Company shall deliver
   to the Trustee definitive Securities, in aggregate principal amount equal
   to the principal amount of such temporary global Security, executed by the
   Company.  On or after the Exchange Date, such temporary global Security
   shall be surrendered by the Common Depository to the Trustee, as the
   Company's agent for such purpose, to be exchanged, in whole or from time
   to time in part, for definitive Securities without charge, and the Trustee
   shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for each portion of such
   temporary global Security, an equal aggregate principal amount of
   definitive Securities of the same series of authorized denominations and
   of like tenor as the portion of such temporary global Security to be ex-
   changed.  The definitive Securities to be delivered in exchanged for any
   such temporary global Security shall be in bearer form, registered form,
   permanent global bearer form or permanent global registered form, or any
   combination thereof, as specified as contemplated by Section 3.1, and, if
   any combination thereof is so specified, as requested by the beneficial
   owner thereof; provided, however, that, unless otherwise specified in such
   temporary global Security upon such presentation by the Common Depository,
   such temporary global Security is accompanied by a certificate dated the
   Exchange Date or a subsequent date and signed by Euroclear as to the
   portion of such temporary global Security held for its account then to be
   exchanged and a certificate dated the Exchange Date or a subsequent date
   and signed by CEDEL as to the portion of such temporary global Security
   held for its account then to be exchanged, each in the form set forth in
   Exhibit A-2 to this Indenture or in such other form as may be established
   pursuant to Section 3.1; and provided further that definitive Bearer
   Securities shall be delivered in exchange for a portion of a temporary
   global Security only in compliance with the requirements of Section 3.3.

             Unless otherwise specified in such temporary global Security,
   the interest of a beneficial owner of Securities of a series in a
   temporary global Security shall be exchanged for definitive Securities of
   the same series and of like tenor following the Exchange Date when the
   account holder instructs Euroclear or CEDEL, as the case may be, to
   request such exchange on its behalf and delivers to Euroclear or CEDEL, as
   the case may be, a certificate in  the form set forth in Exhibit A-1 to
   this Indenture (or in such other form as may be established pursuant to
   Section 3.1), dated no earlier than 15 days prior to the Exchange Date,
   copies of which certificate shall be available from the offices of
   Euroclear and CEDEL, the Trustee, any Authenticating Agent appointed for
   such series of Securities and each Paying Agent.  Unless otherwise
   specified in such temporary global Security, any such exchange shall be
   made free of charge to the beneficial owners of such temporary global
   Security, except that a Person receiving definitive Securities must bear
   the cost of insurance, postage, transportation and the like unless such
   Person takes delivery of such definitive Securities in person at the
   offices of Euroclear or CEDEL.  Definitive Securities in bearer form to be
   delivered in exchange for any portion of a temporary global Security shall
   be delivered only outside the United States.

             Until exchanged in full as hereinabove provided, the temporary
   Securities of any series shall in all respects be entitled to the same
   benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities of the same series
   and of like tenor authenticated and delivered hereunder, except that,
   unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.1, interest
   payable on a temporary global Security on an Interest Payment Date for
   Securities of such series occurring prior to the applicable Exchange Date
   shall be payable to Euroclear and CEDEL on such Interest Payment Date upon
   delivery by Euroclear and CEDEL to the Trustee of a certificate or
   certificates in the form set forth in Exhibit A-2 to this Indenture (or in
   such other forms as may be established pursuant to Section 3.1), for
   credit without further interest on or after such Interest Payment Date to
   the respective accounts of Persons who are the beneficial owners of such
   temporary global Security on such Interest Payment Date and who have each
   delivered to Euroclear or CEDEL, as the case may be, a certificate dated
   no earlier than 15 days prior to the Interest Payment Date occurring prior
   to such Exchange Date in the form set forth as Exhibit A-1 to this
   Indenture (or in such other forms as may be established pursuant to
   Section 3.1).  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained,
   the certifications made pursuant to this paragraph shall satisfy the
   certification requirements of the preceding two paragraphs of this Section
   3.4(b) and of the third paragraph of Section 3.3 of this Indenture, and
   the interests of the Persons who are the beneficial owners of the tempo-
   rary global Security with respect to which such certification was made
   will be exchanged for definitive Securities of the same series and of like
   tenor on the Exchange Date or the date of certification if such date
   occurs after the Exchange Date, without further act or deed by such benef-
   icial owners.  Except as otherwise provided in this paragraph, no payments
   of principal or interest owing with respect to a beneficial interest in a
   temporary global Security will be made unless and until such interest in
   such temporary global Security shall have been exchanged for an interest
   in a definitive Security.  Any interest so received by Euroclear and CEDEL
   and not paid as herein provided shall be returned to the Trustee prior to
   the expiration of two years after such Interest Payment Date in order to
   be repaid to the Company.

             Section 3.5  Registration, Registration of Transfer and Ex-
   change.  The Company shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office
   of the Trustee or in any other office or agency of the Company in a Place
   of Payment a register for each series of Securities (the registers
   maintained in such office or in any such office or agency of the Company
   in a Place of Payment being herein sometimes referred to collectively as
   the "Security Register") in which, subject to such reasonable regulations
   as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of
   Registered Securities and of transfers of Registered Securities.  The
   Security Register shall be in written form or any other form capable of
   being converted into written form within a reasonable time.  The Trustee,
   at its Corporate Trust Office, is hereby initially appointed "Security
   Registrar" for the purpose of registering Registered Securities and
   transfers of Registered Securities on such Security Register as herein
   provided.  In the event that the Trustee shall cease to be Security
   Registrar, it shall have the right to examine the Security Register at all
   reasonable times.

             Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Registered
   Security of any series at any office or agency in a Place of Payment for
   that series, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate
   and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one
   or more new Registered Securities of the same series, of any authorized
   denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount, bearing a number
   not contemporaneously outstanding, and containing identical terms and
   provisions.

             At the option of the Holder, Registered Securities of any series
   may be exchanged for other Registered Securities of the same series, of
   any authorized denomination or denominations and of a like aggregate
   principal amount, containing identical terms and provisions, upon
   surrender of the Registered Securities to be exchanged at any such office
   or agency.  Whenever any Registered Securities are so surrendered for
   exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate
   and deliver, the Registered Securities which the Holder making the
   exchange is entitled to receive.  Unless otherwise specified with respect
   to any series of Securities as contemplated by Section 3.1, Bearer
   Securities may not be issued in exchange for Registered Securities.

             If (but only if) permitted by the applicable Board Resolution
   and (subject to Section 3.3) set forth in the applicable Officers'
   Certificate, or in any indenture supplemental hereto, delivered as
   contemplated by Section 3.1, at the option of the Holder, Bearer Securi-
   ties of any series may be exchanged for Registered Securities of the same
   series of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal
   amount and tenor, upon surrender of the Bearer Securities to be exchanged
   at any such office or agency, with all unmatured coupons and all matured
   coupons in default thereto appertaining.  If the Holder of a Bearer
   Security is unable to produce any such unmatured coupon or coupons or
   matured coupon or coupons in default, any such permitted exchange may be
   effected if the Bearer Securities are accompanied by payment in funds
   acceptable to the Company in an amount equal to the face amount of such
   missing coupon or coupons, or the surrender of such missing coupon or
   coupons may be waived by the Company and the Trustee if there is furnished
   to them such security or indemnity as they may require to save each of
   them and any Paying Agent harmless.  If thereafter the Holder of such
   Security shall surrender to any Paying Agent any such missing coupon in
   respect of which such a payment shall have been made, such Holder shall be
   entitled to receive the amount of such payment; provided, however, that,
   except as otherwise provided in Section 10.2, interest represented by
   coupons shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of those
   coupons at an office or agency located outside the United States. 
   Notwithstanding the foregoing, in case a Bearer Security of any series is
   surrendered at any such office or agency in a permitted exchange for a
   Registered Security of the same series and like tenor after the close of
   business at such office or agency on (i) any Regular Record Date and
   before the opening of business at such office or agency on the relevant
   Interest Payment Date, or (ii) any Special Record Date and before the
   opening of business at such office or agency on the related proposed date
   for payment of Defaulted Interest, such Bearer Security shall be
   surrendered without the coupon relating to such Interest Payment Date or
   proposed date for payment, as the case may be, and interest or Defaulted
   Interest, as the case may be, will not be payable on such Interest Payment
   Date or proposed date for payment, as the case may be, in respect of the
   Registered Security issued in exchange for such Bearer Security, but will
   be payable only to the Holder of such coupon when due in accordance with
   the provisions of this Indenture.

             Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the
   Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the
   Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

             Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as otherwise specified as
   contemplated by Section 3.1, any permanent global Security shall be
   exchangeable only as provided in this paragraph.  If any beneficial owner
   of an interest in a permanent global Security is entitled to exchange such
   interest for Securities of such series and of like tenor and principal
   amount of another authorized form and denomination, as specified as
   contemplated by Section 3.1 and provided that any applicable notice pro-
   vided in the permanent global Security shall have been given, then without
   unnecessary delay but in any event not later than the earliest date on
   which such interest may be so exchanged, the Company shall deliver to the
   Trustee definitive Securities in aggregate principal amount equal to the
   principal amount of such beneficial owner's interest in such permanent
   global Security, executed by the Company.  On or after the earliest date
   on which such interests may be so exchanged, such permanent global
   Security shall be surrendered by the Common Depository or such other
   depository as shall be specified in the Company Order with respect thereto
   to the Trustee, as the Company's agent for such purpose, to be exchanged,
   in whole or from time to time in part, for definitive Securities without
   charge and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for
   each portion of such permanent global Security, an equal aggregate
   principal amount of definitive Securities of the same series of authorized
   denominations and of like tenor as the portion of such permanent global
   Security to be exchanged which, unless the Securities of the series are
   not issuable both as Bearer Securities and as Registered Securities, as
   specified as contemplated by Section 3.1, shall be in the form of Bearer
   Securities or Registered Securities, or any combination thereof, as shall
   be specified by the beneficial owner thereof; provided, however, that no
   such exchanges may occur during a period beginning at the opening of
   business 15 days before any selection of Securities to be redeemed and
   ending on the relevant Redemption Date if the Security for which exchange
   is requested may be among those selected for redemption; and provided
   further that no Bearer Security delivered in exchange for a portion of a
   permanent global Security shall be mailed or otherwise delivered to any
   location in the United States.  If a Registered Security is issued in
   exchange for any portion of a permanent global Security after the close of
   business at the office or agency where such exchange occurs on (i) any
   Regular Record Date and before the opening of business at such office or
   agency on the relevant Interest Payment Date, or (ii) any Special Record
   Date and the opening of business at such office or agency on the related
   proposed date for payment of Defaulted Interest, interest or Defaulted
   Interest, as the case may be, will not be payable on such Interest Payment
   Date or proposed date for payment, as the case may be, in respect of such
   Registered Security, but will be payable on such Interest Payment Date or
   proposed date for payment, as the case may be, only to the Person to whom
   interest in respect of such portion of such permanent global Security is
   payable in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.

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

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

             No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer
   or exchange or redemption of Securities, but the Company may require
   payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge
   that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or
   exchange of Securities, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 3.4, 9.6,
   11.7 or 13.5 not involving any transfer.

             The Company shall not be required (i) to issue, register the
   transfer of or exchange any Security if such Security may be among those
   selected for redemption during a period beginning at the opening of
   business 15 days before selection of the Securities to be redeemed under
   Section 11.3 and ending at the close of business on (A) if such Securities
   are issuable only as Registered Securities, the day of the mailing of the
   relevant notice of redemption and (B) if such Securities are issuable as
   Bearer Securities, the day of the first publication of the relevant notice
   of redemption or, if such Securities are also issuable as Registered
   Securities and there is no publication, the mailing of the relevant notice
   of redemption, or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any
   Registered Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part,
   except, in the case of any Registered Security to be redeemed in part, the
   portion thereof not to be redeemed, or (iii) to exchange any Bearer
   Security so selected for redemption except that such a Bearer Security may
   be exchanged for a Registered Security of that series and like tenor,
   provided that such Registered Security shall be simultaneously surrendered
   for redemption, or (iv) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any
   Security which has been surrendered for repayment at the option of the
   Holder, except the portion, if any, of such Security not to be so repaid.

             Section 3.6  Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities. 
   If any mutilated Security or a Security with a mutilated coupon
   appertaining to it is surrendered to the Trustee, together with, in proper
   cases, such security or indemnity as may be required by the Company or the
   Trustee to save each of them or any agent of either of them harmless, the
   Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in
   exchange therefor a new Security of the same series and principal amount,
   containing identical terms and provisions and bearing a number not
   contemporaneously outstanding, with coupons corresponding to the coupons,
   if any, appertaining to the surrendered Security.

             If there shall be delivered to the Company and to the Trustee
   (i) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of
   any Security or coupon, and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be
   required by them to save each of them and any agent of either of them
   harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee
   that such Security or coupon has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser,
   the Company shall execute and upon its request the Trustee shall authenti-
   cate and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security
   or in exchange for the Security to which a destroyed, lost or stolen
   coupon appertains (with all appurtenant coupons not destroyed, lost or
   stolen), a new Security of the same series and principal amount, con-
   taining identical terms and provisions and bearing a number not
   contemporaneously outstanding, with coupons corresponding to the coupons,
   if any, appertaining to such destroyed, lost or stolen Security or to the
   Security to which such destroyed, lost or stolen coupon appertains.

             Notwithstanding the provisions of the previous two paragraphs,
   in case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security or coupon
   has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its
   discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, with coupons
   corresponding to the coupons, if any, appertaining to such destroyed, lost
   or stolen Security or to the Security to which such destroyed, lost or
   stolen coupon appertains, pay such Security or coupon; provided, however,
   that payment of principal of (and premium, if any), any interest on and
   any Additional Amounts with respect to, Bearer Securities shall, except as
   otherwise provided in Section 10.2, be payable only at an office or agency
   located outside the United States and, unless otherwise specified as
   contemplated by Section 3.1, any interest on Bearer Securities shall be
   payable only upon presentation and surrender of the coupons appertaining
   thereto.

             Upon the issuance of any new Security under this Section 3.6,
   the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax
   or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and
   any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee)
   connected therewith.

             Every new Security of any series with its coupons, if any,
   issued pursuant to this Section 3.6 in lieu of any destroyed, lost or
   stolen Security, or in exchange for a Security to which a destroyed, lost
   or stolen coupon appertains, shall constitute an original, additional,
   contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost
   or stolen Security and its coupons, if any, or the destroyed, lost or
   stolen coupon shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be
   entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately
   with any and all other Securities of that series and their coupons, if
   any, duly issued hereunder.

             The provisions of this Section 3.6 are exclusive and shall
   preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect
   to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen
   Securities or coupons.

             Section 3.7  Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved;
   Optional Interest Reset.  (a)  Except as otherwise specified with respect
   to a series of Securities in accordance with the provisions of Section
   3.1, interest on any Registered Security that is payable, and is punc-
   tually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be
   paid to the Person in whose name that Security (or one or more Predecessor
   Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record
   Date for such interest at the office or agency of the Company maintained
   for such purpose pursuant to Section 10.2; provided, however, that each
   installment of interest on any Registered Security may at the Company's
   option be paid by (i) mailing a check for such interest, payable to or
   upon the written order of the Person entitled thereto pursuant to Section
   3.9, to the address of such Person as it appears on the Security Register
   or (ii) wire transfer to an account maintained by the Person entitled
   thereto as specified in the Security Register.

             Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 3.1, every
   permanent global Security will provide that interest, if any, payable on
   any Interest Payment Date will be paid to each of Euroclear and CEDEL with
   respect to that portion of such permanent global Security held for its
   account by the Common Depository, for the purpose of permitting each of
   Euroclear and CEDEL to credit the interest received by it in respect of
   such permanent global Security to the accounts of the beneficial owners
   thereof.

             In case a Bearer Security of any series is surrendered in
   exchange for a Registered Security of such series after the close of
   business (at an office or agency in a Place of Payment for such series) on
   any Regular Record Date and before the opening of business (at such office
   or agency) on the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, such Bearer
   Security shall be surrendered without the coupon relating to such Interest
   Payment Date and interest will not be payable on such Interest Payment
   Date in respect of the Registered Security issued in exchange for such
   Bearer Security, but will be payable only to the Holder of such coupon
   when due in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.

             Except as otherwise specified with respect to a series of
   Securities in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.1, any interest
   on any Registered Security of any series that is payable, but is not
   punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (herein
   called "Defaulted Interest") shall forthwith cease to be payable to the
   registered Holder thereof on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of
   having been such Holder, and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the
   Company, at its election in each case, as provided in clause (1) or (2)
   below:

             (1)  The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted
        Interest to the Persons in whose names the Registered Securities
        of such series (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are
        registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for
        the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in
        the following manner.  The Company shall notify the Trustee in
        writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid
        on each Registered Security of such series and the date of the
        proposed payment (which shall not be less than 20 days after
        such notice is received by the Trustee), and at the same time
        the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money in
        the currency or currencies, currency unit or units, composite
        currency or currencies in which the Securities of such series
        are payable (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section
        3.1 for the Securities of such series and except, if applicable,
        as provided in Sections 3.12(b), 3.12(d) and 3.12(c)) equal to
        the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such
        Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to
        the Trustee for such deposit on or prior to the date of the
        proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust
        for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted In-
        terest as in this clause provided.  Thereupon the Trustee shall
        fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted
        Interest which shall be not be more than 15 days and not less
        than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not
        less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice
        of the proposed payment.  The Trustee shall promptly notify the
        Company of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the
        expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed
        payment of such Defaulted Interest and Special Record Date
        therefor to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each
        Holder of Registered Securities of such series at its address as
        it appears in the Security Register not less than 10 days prior
        to such Special Record Date.  Notice of the proposed payment of
        such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor
        having been mailed as aforesaid, such Defaulted Interest shall
        be paid to the Persons in whose names the Registered Securities
        of such series (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are
        registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date
        and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following clause
        (2).  In case a Bearer Security of any series is surrendered at
        the office or agency in a Place of Payment for such series in
        exchange for a Registered Security of such series after the
        close of business at such office or agency on any Special Record
        Date and before the opening of business at such office or agency
        on the related proposed date for payment of Defaulted Interest,
        such Bearer Security shall be surrendered without the coupon
        relating to such proposed date of payment and Defaulted Interest
        will not be payable on such proposed date of payment in respect
        of the Registered Security issued in exchange for such Bearer
        Security, but will be payable only to the Holder of such coupon
        when due in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.

             (2)  The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest
        on the Registered Securities of any series in any other lawful
        manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities
        exchange on which such Securities may be listed, and upon such
        notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice
        given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment
        pursuant to clause (1) above, such manner of payment shall be
        deemed practicable by the Trustee.

                  (b)  The provisions of this Section 3.7(b) may be made
   applicable to any series of Securities pursuant to Section 3.1 (with such
   modifications, additions or substitutions as may be specified pursuant to
   such Section 3.1).  The interest rate (or the spread or spread multiplier
   used to calculate such interest rate, if applicable) on any Security of
   such series may be reset by the Company on the date or dates specified on
   the face of such Security (each an "Optional Reset Date").  The Company
   may exercise such option with respect to such Security by notifying the
   Trustee of such exercise at least 50 but not more than 60 days prior to an
   Optional Reset Date for such Security.  Not later than 40 days prior to
   each Optional Reset Date, the Trustee shall transmit, in the manner
   provided for in Section 1.6, to the Holder of any such Security a notice
   (the "Reset Notice") indicating whether the Company has elected to reset
   the interest rate (or the spread multiplier used to calculate such
   interest rate, if applicable), and if so (i) such new interest rate (or
   such new spread or spread multiplier, if applicable) and (ii) the
   provisions, if any, for redemption during the period from such Optional
   Reset Date to the next Optional Reset Date or if there is no such next
   Optional Reset Date, to the Stated Maturity Date of such Security (each
   such period a "Subsequent Interest Period"), including the date or dates
   on which or the period or periods during which and the price or prices at
   which such redemption may occur during the Subsequent Interest Period. 

             Notwithstanding the foregoing, not later than 20 days prior to
   the Optional Reset Date, the Company may, at its option, revoke the
   interest rate (or the spread or spread multiplier used to calculate such
   interest rate, if applicable) provided for in the Reset Notice and
   establish an interest rate (or a spread or spread multiplier used to
   calculate such interest rate, if applicable) that is higher than the
   interest rate (or the spread or spread multiplier, if applicable) provided
   for in the Reset Notice, for the Subsequent Interest Period by causing the
   Trustee to transmit, in the manner provided for in Section 1.6, notice of
   such higher interest rate (or such higher spread or spread multiplier, if
   applicable) to the Holder of such Security.  Such notice shall be
   irrevocable.  All Securities with respect to which the interest rate (or
   the spread or spread multiplier used to calculate such interest rate, if
   applicable) is reset on an Optional Reset Date, and with respect to which
   the Holders of such Securities have not tendered such Securities for
   repayment (or have validly revoked any such tender) pursuant to the next
   succeeding paragraph, will bear such higher interest rate (or such higher
   spread or spread multiplier, if applicable).  

             The Holder of any such Security will have the option to elect
   repayment by the Company of the principal of such Security on each
   Optional Reset Date at a price equal to the principal amount thereof plus
   interest accrued to such Optional Reset Date.   In order to obtain
   repayment on an Optional Reset Date, the Holder must follow the procedure
   set forth in Article XIII for repayment at the option of Holders except
   that the period for delivery or notification to the Trustee shall be at
   least 25 but not more than 35 days prior to the such Optional Reset Date
   and except that, if the Holder has tendered any Security for repayment
   pursuant to the Reset Notice, the Holder may, by written notice to the
   Trustee, revoke such tender or repayment until the close of business on
   the tenth day before such Optional Reset Date.  

             Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.7 and
   Section 3.5, each Security delivered under this Indenture upon
   registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other
   Security shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to
   accrue, which were carried by such other Security.

             Section 3.8  Optional Extension of Maturity. The provisions of
   this Section 3.8 may be made applicable to any series of Securities
   pursuant to Section 3.1 (with such modifications, additions or
   substitutions as may be specified pursuant to Section 3.1).  The Stated
   Maturity of any Security of such series may be extended at the option of
   the Company for the period or periods specified on the face of such
   Security (each an "Extension Period") up to but not beyond the date (the
   "Final Maturity") set forth on the face of such Security.  The Company may
   exercise such option with respect to any Security by notifying the Trustee
   of such exercise at least 50 but not more than 60 days prior to the Stated
   Maturity of such Security in effect prior to the exercise of such option
   (the "Original Stated Maturity").  If the Company exercises such option,
   the Trustee shall transmit, in the manner provided for in Section 1.6, to
   the Holder of such Security not later than 40 days prior to the Original
   Stated Maturity a notice (the "Extension Notice") indicating (i) the
   election of the Company to extend the Maturity, (ii) the new Stated
   Maturity, (iii) the interest rate applicable to the Extension Period and
   (iv) the provisions, if any, for redemption during such Extension Period. 
   Upon the Trustee's transmittal of the Extension Notice, the Stated
   Maturity of such Security shall be extended automatically and, except as
   modified by the Extension Notice and as described in the next paragraph,
   such Security will have the same terms as prior to the transmittal of such
   Extension Notice. 

             Notwithstanding the foregoing, not later than 20 days before the
   Original Stated Maturity of such Security, the Company may, at its option,
   revoke the interest rate provided for in the Extension Notice and
   establish a higher interest rate for the Extension Period by causing the
   Trustee to transmit, in the manner provided for in Section 1.6, notice of
   such higher interest rate to the Holder of such Security.  Such notice
   shall be irrevocable.  All Securities with respect to which the Stated
   Maturity is extended will bear such higher interest rate.  

             If the Company extends the Maturity of any Security, the Holder
   will have the option to elect repayment of such Security by the Company on
   the Original Stated Maturity at a price equal to the principal amount
   thereof, plus interest accrued to such date.  In order to obtain repayment
   on the Original Stated Maturity once the Company has extended the Maturity
   thereof, the Holder must follow the procedures set forth in Article XIII
   for repayment at the option of Holders, except that the period for
   delivery or notification to the Trustee shall be at least 25 but not more
   than 35 days prior to the Original Stated Maturity and except that, if the
   Holder has tendered any Security for repayment pursuant to an Extension
   Notice, the Holder may by written notice to the Trustee revoke such tender
   for repayment until the close of business on the tenth day before the
   Original Stated Maturity.  

             Section 3.9  Persons Deemed Owners.  Prior to due presentment of
   a Registered Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the
   Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person
   in whose name such Registered Security is registered as the owner of such
   Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of (and
   premium, if any), and (subject to Sections 3.5 and 3.7) interest on, such
   Registered Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not
   such Registered Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee
   nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to
   the contrary. 

             Title to any Bearer Security and any coupons appertaining
   thereto shall pass by delivery.  The Company, the Trustee and any agent of
   the Company or the Trustee may treat the bearer of any Bearer Security and
   the bearer of any coupon as the absolute owner of such  Security or coupon
   for the purpose of receiving payment thereof or on account thereof and for
   all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security or coupon be
   overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company
   or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 

             None of the Company, the Trustee, any Paying Agent or the
   Security 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 Security in global form or for main-
   taining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial
   ownership interests.  

             Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any global
   Security, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee, or any
   agent of the Company or the Trustee, from giving effect to any written
   certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by any depository,
   as a Holder, with respect to such global Security or impair, as between
   such depository and owners of beneficial interests in such global
   Security, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of
   the rights of such depository (or its nominee) as Holder of such global
   Security. 

             Section 3.10  Cancellation.  All Securities and coupons surren-
   dered for payment, redemption, repayment at the option of the Holder,
   registration of transfer or exchange or for credit against any sinking
   fund payment shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee,
   be delivered to the Trustee, and any such Securities and coupons and
   Securities and coupons surrendered directly to the Trustee for any such
   purpose shall be promptly cancelled by it.  The Company may at any time
   deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously au-
   thenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in
   any manner whatsoever, and may deliver to the Trustee (or to any other
   Person for delivery to the Trustee) for cancellation any Securities
   previously authenticated hereunder which the Company has not issued and
   sold, and all Securities so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the
   Trustee.  If the Company shall so acquire any of the Securities, however,
   such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the
   indebtedness represented by such Securities unless and until the same are
   surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation.  No Securities shall be
   authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Securities cancelled as
   provided in this Section 3.10, except as expressly permitted by this
   Indenture.  Cancelled Securities and coupons held by the Trustee shall be
   returned to the Company. 

             Section 3.11  Computation of Interest.  Except as otherwise
   specified as contemplated by Section 3.1 with respect to Securities of any
   series, interest on the Securities of each series shall be computed on the
   basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.  

             Section 3.12  Currency and Manner of Payments in Respect of
   Securities. (a)  Unless otherwise specified with respect to any Securities
   pursuant to Section 3.1, 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, and with respect to Bearer Securities of any series, except as
   provided in paragraph (d) below, payment of the principal of (and premium,
   if any) and interest, if any, on, and Additional Amounts, if any, in
   respect of any Registered or Bearer Security of such series will be made
   in the currency or currencies, currency unit or units or composite
   currency or currencies in which such Registered Security or Bearer
   Security, as the case may be, is payable.  The provisions of this Section
   3.12 may be modified or superseded with respect to any Securities pursuant
   to Section 3.1.

                  (b)  It may be provided pursuant to Section 3.1 with
   respect to Registered Securities of any series that Holders shall have the
   option, subject to paragraphs (c) and (d) below, to receive payments of
   principal of (and premium, if any) or interest, if any, on and Additional
   Amounts, if any, in respect of such Registered Securities in any of the
   currencies, currency units or composite currencies which may be designated
   for such election by delivering to the Trustee for such series of
   Registered Securities a written election with signature guarantees and in
   the applicable from established pursuant to Section 3.1, not later than
   the close of business on the Election Date immediately preceding the
   applicable payment date.  If a Holder so elects to receive such payments
   in any such currency, currency unit or composite currency, such election
   will remain in effect for such Holder or any transferee of such Holder
   until changed by such Holder or such transferee by written notice to the
   Trustee for such series of Registered Securities (but any such change must
   be made not later than the close of business on the Election Date
   immediately preceding the next payment date to be effective for the
   payment to be made on such payment date, and no such change of election
   may be made with respect to payments to be made on any Registered Security
   of such series with respect to which an Event of Default has occurred or
   with respect to which the Company has deposited funds pursuant to Article
   IV or XIV or with respect to which a notice of redemption has been given
   by the Company or a notice of option to elect repayment has been sent by
   such Holder or such transferee).  Any Holder of any such Registered
   Security who shall not have delivered any such election to the Trustee of
   such series of Registered Securities 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 currencies, currency
   unit or units or composite currency or currencies as provided in Section
   3.12(a).  The Trustee for each such series of Registered Securities shall
   notify the Exchange Rate Agent as soon as practicable after the Election
   Date of the aggregate principal amount of Registered Securities for which
   Holders have made such written election. 

                  (c)  Unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.1, if
   the election referred to in paragraph (b) above has been provided for
   pursuant to Section 3.1, then, unless otherwise specified pursuant to
   Section 3.1, not later than the fourth Business Day after the Election
   Date for each payment date for Registered Securities of any series, the
   Exchange Rate Agent will deliver to the Company a written notice
   specifying, in the currency or currencies, currency unit or units or
   composite currency or currencies in which Registered Securities of such
   series are payable, the respective aggregate amounts of principal of (and
   premium, if any) and interest, if any, on, and Additional Amounts, if any,
   in respect of the Registered Securities to be paid on such payment date,
   specifying the amounts in such currency or currencies, currency unit or
   units or composite currency or currencies so payable in respect of the
   Registered Securities as to which the Holders of Registered Securities
   denominated in any currency or currencies, currency unit or units or
   composite currency or currencies shall have elected to be paid in another
   currency, currency unit or composite currency as provided in paragraph (b)
   above.  If the election referred to in paragraph (b) above has been
   provided for pursuant to Section 3.1 and if at least one Holder has made
   such election, then, unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.1,
   on the second Business Day preceding such payment date the Company will
   deliver to the Trustee for such series of Registered Securities an
   Exchange Rate Officer's Certificate in respect of the Dollar, Foreign
   Currency or currencies, ECU or currency unit payments to be made on such
   payment date.  Unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.1, the
   Dollar, Foreign Currency or currencies, ECU 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 third Business Day (the "Valuation Date")
   immediately preceding each payment date, and such determination shall be
   conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.  

                  (d)  If a Conversion Event occurs with respect to a Foreign
   Currency, the ECU or any other currency unit in which any of the
   Securities are denominated or payable other than pursuant to an election
   provided for pursuant to paragraph (b) above, then with respect to each
   date for the payment of principal of (and premium, if any) and interest,
   if any, on, and Additional Amounts, if any, in respect of, the applicable
   Securities denominated or payable in such Foreign Currency, the ECU or
   such other currency unit occurring after the last date on which such
   Foreign Currency, the ECU or such other currency unit was used (the
   "Conversion Date"), the Dollar shall be the currency of payment for use on
   each such payment date.  Unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section
   3.1, the Dollar amount to be paid by the Company to the Trustee of each
   such series of Securities and by such Trustee or any Paying Agent to the
   Holders of such Securities with respect to such payment date shall be, in
   the case of a Foreign Currency other than a currency unit, the Dollar
   Equivalent of the Foreign Currency or, in the case of a currency unit, the
   Dollar Equivalent of the Currency Unit, in each case as determined by the
   Exchange Rate Agent in the manner provided in paragraph (f) or (g) below. 

                  (e)  Unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.1, if
   the Holder of a Registered Security denominated in any currency or
   currencies, currency unit or units or composite currency or currencies
   shall have elected to be paid in another currency or currencies, currency
   unit or units or composite currency or currencies as provided in paragraph
   (b) above, and a Conversion Event occurs with respect to such elected
   currency or currencies, currency unit or units or composite currency or
   currencies, such Holder shall receive payment in the currency or
   currencies, currency unit or units or composite currency or currencies in
   which payment would have been made in the absence of such election; and if
   a Conversion Event occurs with respect to the currency or currencies,
   currency unit or units or composite currency or currencies in which
   payment would have been made in the absence of such election, such Holder
   shall receive payment in Dollars as provided in paragraph (d) of this
   Section 3.12.

                  (f)  The "Dollar Equivalent of the Foreign Currency" shall
   be determined by the Exchange Rate Agent and shall be obtained for each
   subsequent payment date by converting the specified Foreign Currency into
   dollars at the Market Exchange Rate on the Conversion Date. 

                  (g)  The "Dollar Equivalent of the Currency Unit" shall be
   determined by the Exchange Rate Agent and subject to the provisions of
   paragraph (h) below shall be the sum of each amount obtained by converting
   the Specified Amount of each Component Currency into Dollars at the Market
   Exchange Rate for such Component Currency on the Valuation Date with
   respect to each payment. 

                  (h)  For purposes of this Section 3.12, the following terms
   shall have the following meanings:

             A "Component Currency" shall mean any currency which, on
        the Conversion Date, was a component currency of the relevant
        currency unit, including, but not limited to, the ECU.

             A "Specified Amount" of a Component Currency shall mean the
        number of units of such Component Currency or fractions thereof
        which were represented in the relevant currency unit, including,
        but not limited to, the ECU, on the Conversion Date.  If after
        the Conversion Date the official unit of any Component Currency
        is altered by way of combination or subdivision, the Specified
        Amount of such Component Currency shall be divided or multiplied
        in the same proportion.  If after the Conversion Date two or
        more Component Currencies are consolidated into a single
        currency, the respective Specified Amounts of such Component
        Currencies shall be replaced by an amount in such single curren-
        cy equal to the sum of the respective Specified Amounts of such
        consolidated Component Currencies expressed in such single
        currency, and such amount shall thereafter be a Specified Amount
        and such single currency shall thereafter be a Component Curren-
        cy.  If after the Conversion Date any Component Currency shall
        be divided into two or more currencies, the Specified Amount of
        such Component Currency shall be replaced by amounts of such two
        or more currencies, having an aggregate Dollar Equivalent value
        at the Market Exchange Rate on the date of such replacement
        equal to the Dollar Equivalent of the Specified Amount of such
        former Component Currency at the Market Exchange Rate immediate-
        ly before such division, and such amounts shall thereafter be
        Specified Amounts and such currencies shall thereafter be Compo-
        nent Currencies.  If, after the Conversion Date of the relevant
        currency unit, including, but not limited to, the ECU, a
        Conversion Event (other than any event referred to above in this
        definition of "Specified Amount") occurs with respect to any
        Component Currency of such currency unit and is continuing on
        the applicable Valuation Date, the Specified Amount of such Com-
        ponent Currency shall, for purposes of calculating the Dollar
        Equivalent of the Currency Unit, be converted into Dollars at
        the Market Exchange Rate in effect on the Conversion Date of
        such Component Currency. 

             "Election Date" shall mean the Regular Record Date for the
        applicable series of Registered Securities or at least 16 days
        prior to Maturity, as the case may be, or such other date for
        any series of Registered Securities as specified pursuant to
        clause (11) of Section 3.1 by which the written election
        referred to in Section 3.12(b) may be made. 

             All decisions and determinations of the Exchange Rate Agent
   regarding the Dollar Equivalent of the Foreign Currency, the Dollar
   Equivalent of the Currency Unit, the Market Exchange Rate and changes in
   the Specified Amounts as specified above shall be in its sole discretion
   and shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all
   purposes and irrevocably binding upon the Company, the Trustee for the
   appropriate series of Securities and all Holders of such Securities
   denominated or payable in the relevant currency or currencies, currency
   unit or units or composite currency or currencies.  The Exchange Rate
   Agent shall promptly give written notice to the Company and the Trustee
   for the appropriate series of Securities of any such decision or
   determination. 

             In the event that the Company determines in good faith that a
   Conversion Event has occurred with respect to a Foreign Currency, the
   Company will immediately give written notice thereof to the Trustee of the
   appropriate series of Securities and to the Exchange Rate Agent (and such
   Trustee will promptly thereafter give notice in the manner provided in
   Section 1.6 to the affected Holders) specifying the Conversion Date.  In
   the event the Company so determines that a Conversion Event has occurred
   with respect to the ECU or any other currency unit in which Securities are
   denominated or payable, the Company will immediately give written notice
   thereof to the Trustee of the appropriate series of Securities and to the
   Exchange Rate Agent (and such Trustee will promptly thereafter give notice
   in the manner provided in Section 1.6 to the affected Holders) specifying
   the Conversion Date and the Specified Amount of each Component Currency on
   the Conversion Date.  In the event the Company determines in good faith
   that any subsequent change in any Component Currency as set forth in the
   definition of Specified Amount above has occurred, the Company will
   similarly give written notice to the Trustee of the appropriate series of
   Securities and to the Exchange Rate Agent.

             The Trustee of the appropriate series of Securities shall be
   fully justified and protected in relying and acting upon information
   received by it from the Company and the Exchange Rate Agent and shall not
   otherwise have any duty or obligation to determine the accuracy or
   validity of such information independent of the Company or the Exchange
   Rate Agent.  

             Section 3.13  Appointment and Resignation of Successor Exchange
   Rate Agent.  (a)  Unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.1, if
   and so long as the Securities of any series (i) are denominated in a
   currency other than Dollars or (ii) may be payable in a currency other
   than Dollars, or so long as it is required under any other provision of
   this Indenture, then the Company will maintain with respect to each such
   series of Securities, or as so required, at least one Exchange Rate Agent. 
   The Company will cause the Exchange Rate Agent to make the necessary
   foreign exchange determinations at the time and in the manner specified
   pursuant to Section 3.1 for the purpose of determining the applicable rate
   of exchange and, if applicable, for the purpose of converting the issued
   currency or currencies, currency unit or units or composite currency or
   currencies into the applicable payment currency or currency unit for the
   payment of principal (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, and
   Additional Amounts, if any, pursuant to Section 3.12.

                  (b)  No resignation of the Exchange Rate Agent and no
   appointment of a successor Exchange Rate Agent pursuant to this Section
   3.13 shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the
   successor Exchange Rate Agent as evidenced by a written instrument
   delivered to the Company and the Trustee of the appropriate series of
   Securities accepting such appointment executed by the successor Exchange
   Rate Agent.

                  (c)  If the Exchange Rate Agent shall resign, be removed or
   become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of
   the Exchange Rate Agent for any cause, with respect to the Securities of
   one or more series, the Company, by or pursuant to a Board Resolution,
   shall promptly appoint a successor Exchange Rate Agent or Exchange Rate
   Agents with respect to the Securities of that or those series (it being
   understood that any such successor Exchange Rate Agent may be appointed
   with respect to the Securities of one or more or all such series and that,
   unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.1, at any time there
   shall only be one Exchange Rate Agent with respect to the Securities of
   any particular series that are originally issued by the Company on the
   same date and that are initially denominated or payable in the same
   currency or currencies, currency unit or units or composite currency or
   currencies). 

                                   ARTICLE IV

                           SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE

             Section 4.1  Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture.  This
   Indenture shall upon Company Request cease to be of further effect with
   respect to any series of Securities specified in such Company Request
   (except as to any surviving rights of registration of transfer or exchange
   of Securities of such series herein expressly provided for and any right
   to receive Additional Amounts, as provided in Section 10.9), and the
   Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order, and at the expense of the
   Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and
   discharge of this Indenture as to such series when 

             (1)  either 

                  (A)  all Securities of such series theretofore
             authenticated and delivered and all coupons, if any,
             appertaining thereto (other than (i) coupons
             appertaining to Bearer Securities surrendered for
             exchange for Registered Securities and maturing after
             such exchange, whose surrender is not required or has
             been waived as provided in Section 3.5, (ii)
             Securities and coupons of such series which have been
             destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been replaced
             or paid as provided in Section 3.6, (iii) coupons
             appertaining to Securities called for redemption and
             maturing after the relevant Redemption Date, whose
             surrender has been waived as provided in Section 11.6,
             and (iv) Securities and coupons of such series for
             whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in
             trust or segregated and held in trust by the Company
             and thereafter repaid to the Company or discharged
             from such trust, as provided in Section 10.3) have
             been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or

                  (B)  all Securities of such series and, in the
             case of (i) or (ii) below, any coupons appertaining
             thereto not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for

                            arrangements satisfactory to the
                            Trustee for the giving of notice
                            of redemption by the Trustee in
                            the name, and at the expense, of

   gations of the Company to any Authenticating Agent under Section 6.11 and,
   if money shall have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause

   Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 10.3, all money

   the coupons and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through
   any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as
   the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the
   principal (and premium, if any), any interest and Additional Amounts for
   whose payment such money has been deposited with or received by the
   Trustee, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to
   the extent required by law.

             Section 5.2  Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment. 
   If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series at the
   time Outstanding occurs and is continuing (other than an Event of Default
   specified in clause (5) or (6) of Section 5.1), then, in each and every
   case, either the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal
   amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series may declare the
   principal amount of (or, if any Securities of such series are Original
   Issue Discount Securities or Indexed Securities, such portion of the
   principal amount as may be specified in the terms thereof) and any accrued
   and unpaid interest on and any Additional Amounts payable in respect of
   all the Outstanding Securities of that series to be due and payable
   immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if
   given by the Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal or
   specified portion thereof shall become immediately due and payable.  If an
   Event of Default specified in clause (5) or (6) of Section 5.1 occurs and
   is continuing, then the principal amount of (or, if any Securities of such
   series are Original Issue Discount Securities or Indexed Securities, such
   portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms thereof)
   and any accrued and unpaid interest on and any Additional Amounts payable
   in respect of all the Outstanding Securities of that series shall
   immediately become due and payable without any declaration or other act on
   the part of the Trustee or any Holder.

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

             (1)  the Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a
        sum sufficient to pay in the currency, currency unit or
        composite currency in which the Securities of such series are
        payable (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.1
        for the Securities of such series and except, if applicable, as
        provided in Sections 3.12(b), 3.12(d) and 3.12(e)):

                  (A)  all overdue installments of interest on and
             any Additional Amounts payable in respect of all
             Outstanding Securities of that series and any related
             coupons,

                  (B)  the principal of (and premium, if any, on)
             any Outstanding Securities of that series which have
             become due otherwise than by such declaration of
             acceleration and interest thereon at the rate or rates
             borne by or provided for in such Securities,

                  (C)  to the extent that payment of such interest
             is lawful, interest upon overdue installments of
             interest and any Additional Amounts at the rate or
             rates borne by or provided for in such Securities, and

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

             (2)  all Events of Default with respect to Securities of
        that series, other than the nonpayment of the principal of (or
        premium, if any) or interest on Securities of that series which
        have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have
        been cured or waived as provided in Section 5.13.

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

             Section 5.3  Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforce-
   ment by Trustee.  The Company covenants that if:

             (1)  default is made in the payment of any installment of
        interest or Additional Amounts, if any, on any Security of any
        series and any related coupon when such interest becomes due and
        payable and such default continues for a period of 30 days, or

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

   then the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to the Trustee, for
   the benefit of the Holders of such Securities of such series and coupons,
   the whole amount then due and payable on such Securities and coupons for
   principal (and premium, if any) and interest, with interest upon any
   overdue principal (and premium, if any) and, to the extent that payment of
   such interest shall be legally enforceable, upon any overdue installments
   of interest or Additional Amounts, if any, at the rate or rates borne by
   or provided for in such Securities, and, in addition thereto, such further
   amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of
   collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements
   and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.

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

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

             Section 5.4  Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.  In case of the
   pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy,
   reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial
   proceeding relative to the Company or any other obligor upon the
   Securities or the property of the Company or of such other obligor or
   their creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of the
   Securities of any series shall then be due and payable as therein
   expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the
   Trustee shall have made any demand on the Company for the payment of
   overdue principal, premium, if any, or interest) shall be entitled and
   empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

             (i)  to file and prove a claim for the whole amount, or
        such lesser amount as may be provided for in the Securities of
        such series, of principal (and premium, if any) and interest and
        Additional Amounts, if any, owing and unpaid in respect of the
        Securities and to file such other papers or documents as may be
        necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the
        Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation,
        expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents
        and counsel) and of the Holders allowed in such judicial
        proceeding, and 

             (ii)  to collect and receive any moneys or other property
        payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the
        same;

   and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator
   (or other similar official) in any such judicial proceeding is hereby
   authorized by each Holder of Securities of such series and coupons to make
   such payments to the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall
   consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to
   the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation,
   expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee and any predecessor
   Trustee, their agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee
   or any predecessor Trustee under Section 6.6.

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

             Section 5.5  Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of
   Securities or Coupons.  All rights of action and claims under this
   Indenture or any of the Securities or coupons may be prosecuted and
   enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Securities or
   coupons or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and
   any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own
   name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall,
   after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses,
   disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for
   the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securities and coupons in
   respect of which such judgment has been recovered.

             Section 5.6  Application of Money Collected.  Any money collect-
   ed by the Trustee pursuant to this Article V shall be applied in the
   following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of
   the distribution of such money on account of principal (or premium, if
   any) or interest and any Additional Amounts, upon presentation of the
   Securities or coupons, or both, as the case may be, and the notation
   thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof
   if fully paid:

                  FIRST:  To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee and
             any predecessor Trustee under Section 6.6;

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

                  THIRD:  To the payment of the remainder, if any, to the
             Company or any other Person or Persons entitled thereto.

             Section 5.7  Limitation on Suits.  No Holder of any Security of
   any series or any related coupon shall have any right to institute any
   proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for
   the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy
   hereunder, unless:

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

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

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

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

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

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

             Section 5.8  Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Princi-
   pal, Premium and Interest.  Notwithstanding any other provision in this
   Indenture, the Holder of any Security or coupon shall have the right which
   is absolute and unconditional to receive payment of the principal of (and
   premium, if any) and (subject to Sections 3.5 and 3.7) interest on, and
   any Additional Amounts in respect of, such Security or payment of such
   coupon on the respective due dates expressed in such Security or coupon
   (or, in the case of redemption, on the Redemption Date) and to institute
   suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such rights shall not be
   impaired without the consent of such Holder.

             Section 5.9  Restoration of Rights and Remedies.  If the Trustee
   or any Holder of a Security or coupon has instituted any proceeding to
   enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has
   been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined
   adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case
   the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of Securities and coupons shall,
   subject to any determination in such proceeding, be restored severally and
   respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights
   and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no
   such proceeding has been instituted.

             Section 5.10  Rights and Remedies Cumulative.  Except as
   otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of
   mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities or coupons in the last
   paragraph of Section 3.6, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or
   reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders of Securities or coupons is
   intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and
   remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in
   addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or
   hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise.  The assertion or
   employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not
   prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate
   right or remedy.

             Section 5.11  Delay or Omission Not Waiver.  No delay or
   omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Security or coupon to
   exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall
   impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event
   of Default or an acquiescence therein.  Every right and remedy given by
   this Article V or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised
   from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee
   or by the Holders of Securities or coupons, as the case may be.

             Section 5.12  Control by Holders of Securities.  The Holders of
   a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series
   shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting
   any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any
   trust or powers conferred on the Trustee with respect to the Securities of
   such series, provided that

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

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

             (3)  the Trustee need not take any action which might
        involve it in personal liability or be unjustly prejudicial to
        the Holders of  Securities of such series not consenting.

             Section 5.13  Waiver of Past Defaults.  The Holders of not less
   than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any
   series may on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities of such series
   and any related coupons waive any past default hereunder with respect to
   such series and its consequences, except a default

             (1)  in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if
        any) or interest on or Additional Amounts payable in respect of
        any Security of such series or any related coupons, or

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

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

             Section 5.14  Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws.  The Company
   covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at
   any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take
   the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted,
   now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or
   the performance of this Indenture; and the Company (to the extent that it
   may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of
   any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the
   execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and
   permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been
   enacted.


                                   ARTICLE VI

                                   THE TRUSTEE

             Section 6.1  Duties of Trustee.

                  (a)  If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
   the Trustee, subject to paragraph (e) below, shall exercise the rights and
   powers vested in it by this Indenture and use the same degree of care and
   skill in its exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the
   circumstances in the conduct of such person's own affairs.

                  (b)  Except during the continuance of an Event of Default:

                       (i)  The Trustee undertakes to perform such
                  duties and only such duties as are specifically set
                  forth in this Indenture and no implied covenants or
                  obligations shall be read into this Indenture against
                  the Trustee; and

                      (ii)  In the absence of bad faith on its part, the
                  Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the
                  statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed
                  therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the
                  Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Inden-
                  ture.  However, in the case of any opinions or certificates
                  which by any provision hereof are specifically required to
                  be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall examine the
                  certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they
                  conform to the requirements of this Indenture.

                  (c)  The Trustee may not be relieved from liability for its
   own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful
   misconduct, except that:

                       (i)  This paragraph does not limit the effect of
                  paragraph (b) of this Section 6.1;

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

                     (iii)  The Trustee shall not be liable with respect
                  to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith
                  in accordance with a direction received by it pursuant
                  to Section 5.12.

                  (d)  Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every
   provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee is
   subject to paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of this Section 6.1.

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

                  (f)  The Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any
   money received by it except as the Trustee may agree in writing with the
   Company.  Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from
   other funds except to the extent required by law.

                  (g)  No provision of this Indenture shall require the
   Trustee to determine the maximum interest rate permissible under
   applicable law.

                  (h)  Every provision of this Indenture relating to the con-
   duct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee
   shall be subject to the provisions of this Section and to the provisions
   of the TIA.


             Section 6.2  Rights of Trustee.  

             (1)  The Trustee may rely on and shall be protected in
        acting or refraining from acting upon any document believed by
        it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the
        proper person;

             (2)  Any request or direction of the Company mentioned
        herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by a Company Request or
        Company Order (other than delivery of any Security, together
        with any coupons appertaining thereto, to the Trustee for
        authentication and delivery pursuant to Section 3.3 which shall
        be sufficiently evidenced as provided therein) and any
        resolution of the Board of Directors may be sufficiently
        evidenced by a Board Resolution;

             (3)  Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it
        may require an Officer's Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel,
        and the Trustee (unless other evidence be herein specifically
        prescribed) shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits
        to take in good faith in reliance on such Officers' Certificate
        or Opinion of Counsel;

             (4)  The Trustee may consult with counsel and the written
        advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel with respect to
        legal matters relating to this Indenture and the Securities
        shall be full and complete authorization and protection in
        respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder
        in good faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of
        such counsel;

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

             (6)  The Trustee shall not be bound to make any
        investigation into the facts or matters stated in any document,
        but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further
        inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may
        see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such
        further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to
        examine the books, records and premises of the Company, person-
        ally or by agent or attorney;

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

             (8)  The Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken,
        suffered or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to be
        authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers
        conferred upon it by this Indenture; provided, however, that the
        Trustee's conduct does not constitute willful misconduct,
        negligence or bad faith.

             Section 6.3  Trustee's Disclaimer.  The recitals contained
   herein and in the Securities, except the Trustee's certificate of
   authentication, and in any coupons shall be taken as the statements of the
   Company, and neither the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent assumes any
   responsibility for their correctness.  The Trustee makes no
   representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of
   the Securities or coupons, except that the Trustee represents that it is
   duly authorized to execute and deliver this Indenture, authenticate the
   Securities and perform its obligations hereunder and that the statements
   made by it in a Statement of Eligibility and Qualification on Form T-1
   supplied to the Company are true and accurate, subject to the qualifica-
   tions set forth therein.  Neither the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent
   shall be accountable for the use or application by the Company of
   Securities or the proceeds thereof.

             Section 6.4  Individual Rights of Trustee.  The Trustee, any
   Paying Agent, Security Registrar, Authenticating Agent or any other agent
   of the Company, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the
   owner or pledgee of Securities and coupons and, subject to TIA Sections
   310(b) and 311, may otherwise deal with the Company or an Affiliate of the
   Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Paying
   Agent, Security Registrar, Authenticating Agent or such other agent. 
    
             Section 6.5  Notice of Defaults.  Within 90 days after the
   occurrence of any default (as defined below) hereunder with respect to the
   Securities of any series, the Trustee shall transmit, in the manner and to
   the extent provided in TIA Section 313(c), notice of such default
   hereunder known to the Trustee, unless such default shall have been cured
   or waived; provided, however, that, except in the case of a default in the
   payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on or any
   Additional Amounts payable with respect to any Security of such series
   (including payments pursuant to a redemption or repurchase of the
   Securities pursuant hereto), or in the payment of any sinking or purchase
   fund installment with respect to the Securities of such series, the
   Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as
   the board of directors, the executive committee or a trust committee of
   directors and/or Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good faith deter-
   mines that the withholding of such notice is in the interests of the
   Holders of the Securities and coupons of such series; and provided further
   that, in the case of any default or breach of the character specified in
   Section 5.1(4) with respect to the Securities and coupons of such series,
   no such notice to Holders shall be given until at least 60 days after the
   occurrence thereof.  For the purpose of this Section, the term "default"
   means any event which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would
   become, an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of such series.

             Section 6.6  Compensation and Indemnity.  The Company agrees:

             (1)  to pay to the Trustee from time to time such
        compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder as has
        been agreed upon in writing (which compensation shall not be
        limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of
        a Trustee of an express trust);

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

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

             As security for the performance of the obligations of the
   Company under this Section 6.6, the Trustee shall  have a claim prior to
   the Securities upon all property and funds held or collected by the
   Trustee as such, except funds held in trust for the payment of principal
   of  (or premium, if any), interest on or any Additional Amounts payable
   with respect to particular Securities or any coupons.

             When the Trustee incurs expenses in connection with an Event of
   Default specified in Section 5.1(5) or Section 5.1(6), the expenses are
   intended to constitute expenses of administration under any applicable
   Bankruptcy Law.

             The provisions of this Section 6.6 shall survive the termination
   of this Indenture.

             Section 6.7  Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility; Conflict-
   ing Interests.  There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder which
   shall be eligible to act as Trustee under TIA Section 310(a) and shall
   have a combined capital and surplus of at least $5 million as set forth in
   its most recent published annual report of condition. The Trustee shall
   comply with TIA Section 310(b). If at any time the Trustee shall cease to
   be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.7, it
   shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter
   specified in this Article VI.

             Section 6.8  Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor. 
   (a)  No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a
   successor Trustee pursuant to this Article VI shall become effective until
   the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee in accordance with
   the applicable requirements of Section 6.9.

                  (b)  The Trustee may resign at any time with respect to the
   Securities of one or more series by giving written notice thereof to the
   Company.  If an instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee shall not
   have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such
   notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee, the Company, or the Holders
   of a majority of the principal amount of the then Outstanding Securities
   may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a
   successor Trustee.

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

                  (d)  If at any time:

             (1)  the Trustee shall fail to comply with the provisions
        of TIA Section 310(b) after written request therefor by the
        Company or by any Holder of a Security who has been a bona fide
        Holder of a Security for at least six months, or

             (2)  the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section
        6.7 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by
        the Company or by any Holder of a Security who has been a bona
        fide Holder of a Security for at least six months, or

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

   then, in any such case, (i) the Company by a Board Resolution may remove
   the Trustee and appoint a successor Trustee with respect to all
   Securities, or (ii) subject to TIA Section 315(e), any Holder of a
   Security who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six
   months may, on behalf of itself and all others similarly situated,
   petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the
   Trustee with respect to all Securities and the appointment of a successor
   Trustee or Trustees.

                  (e)  A successor Trustee under Section 6.10 (in a
   transaction in which the predecessor Trustee is not the surviving entity)
   may be removed by the Company by Board Resolution with respect to any or
   all series of Securities within 60 days of becoming such successor Trustee
   upon 30 days notice by the filing with the Trustee of an instrument in
   writing signed on behalf of the Company by a duly authorized officer of
   the Company specifying such removal and the date on which it is to become
   effective.

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

                  (g)  The Company shall give notice of each resignation and
   each removal of the Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series
   and each appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities
   of any series in the manner provided for notices to the Holders of
   Securities in Section 1.6.  Each notice shall include the name of the
   successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and the
   address of its Corporate Trust Office.

             Section 6.9  Acceptance of Appointment by Successor.  (a)  In
   case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to
   all Securities, every such successor Trustee shall execute, acknowledge
   and deliver  to the Company and to the retiring Trustee an instrument
   accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of
   the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee,
   without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all
   the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on
   request of the Company or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee
   shall, upon payment of its charges, execute and deliver an instrument
   transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts
   of the retiring Trustee, and  shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to
   such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring
   Trustee hereunder, subject nevertheless to its claim, if any, provided for
   in Section 6.6.

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

                  (c)  Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the
   Company shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly
   vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights,
   powers and trusts referred to in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 6.9,
   as the case may be.

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

             Section 6.10  Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to
   Business.  Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or
   converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation
   resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the
   Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or
   substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be
   the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation shall be
   otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article VI, without the
   execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of
   the parties hereto.  In case any Securities or coupons shall have been
   authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any
   successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating
   Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Securities or
   coupons so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee
   had itself authenticated such Securities or coupons.  In case any
   Securities or coupons shall not have been authenticated by such
   predecessor Trustee, any such successor Trustee may authenticate and
   deliver such Securities or coupons, in either its own name or that of its
   predecessor Trustee, with the full force and effect which this Indenture
   provides for the certificate of authentication of the Trustee.

             Section 6.11  Appointment of Authenticating Agent.  At any time
   when any of the Securities remain Outstanding, the Trustee may appoint an
   Authenticating Agent or Agents with respect to one or more series of
   Securities which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to
   authenticate Securities of such series issued upon exchange, registration
   of transfer or partial redemption thereof, and Securities so authenticated
   shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and
   obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. 
   Any such appointment shall be evidenced by an instrument in writing signed
   by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, a copy of which instrument shall
   be promptly furnished to the Company.  Wherever reference is made in this
   Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Securities by the Trustee
   or the Trustee's certificate of authentication, such reference shall be
   deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by
   an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on
   behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent.  Each Authenticating
   Agent shall be acceptable to the Company and shall at all times be a bank
   or trust company or corporation organized and doing business and in good
   standing under the laws of the United States of America or of any State or
   the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to at as Authenti-
   cating Agent, having a combined capital and surplus of not less than
   $1,500,000 and subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State
   authorities.  If such Authenticating Agent publishes reports of condition
   at least annually, pursuant to law or the requirements of the aforesaid
   supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section
   6.11, the combined capital and surplus of such Authentication Agent shall
   be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most
   recent report of condition so published.  In case at any time an
   Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
   provisions of this Section 6.11, such Authenticating Agent shall resign
   immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section
   6.11.

             Any corporation into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged
   or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation
   resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such
   Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to
   the corporate agency or corporate trust business of an Authenticating
   Agent, shall continue to be an Authenticating Agent, provided such
   corporation shall be otherwise eligible under this Section 6.11, without
   the execution or filing of any paper or further act on the part of the
   Trustee or the Authenticating Agent.

             An Authenticating Agent for any series of Securities may at any
   time resign by giving written notice of resignation to the Trustee for
   such series and to the Company.  The Trustee for any series of Securities
   may at any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving
   written notice of termination to such Authenticating Agent and to the
   Company.  Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a
   termination, or in case at any time such Authenticating Agent shall cease
   to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.11, the
   Trustee for such series may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent which
   shall be acceptable to the Company and shall give notice of such appoint-
   ment to all Holders of Securities of the series with respect to which such
   Authenticating Agent will serve in the manner set forth in Section 1.6. 
   Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment
   hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of
   its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an
   Authenticating Agent herein.  No successor Authenticating Agent shall be
   appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section 6.11.

             The Company agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time
   to time reasonable compensation including reimbursement of its reasonable
   expenses for its services under this Section 6.11.

             If an appointment with respect to one or more series is made
   pursuant to this Section 6.11, the Securities of such series may have
   endorsed thereon, in addition to or in lieu of the Trustee's certificate
   of authentication, an alternate certificate of authentication
   substantially in the following form:

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

   Terms.  The Company shall not consolidate with or merge with or into any
   other corporation or convey or transfer its properties and assets
   substantially as an entirety to any Person, unless:

             (1)  either the Company shall be the continuing
        corporation, or the corporation (if other than the Company)
        formed by such consolidation or into which the Company is merged
        or the Person which acquired by conveyance or transfer the
        properties and assets of the Company substantially as an
        entirety shall expressly assume, by an indenture supplemental
        hereto, executed and delivered to the Trustee, in form
        satisfactory to the Trustee, the due and punctual payment of the
        principal of (and premium, if any) and interest (including all
        Additional Amounts, if any, payable pursuant to Section 10.9) on
        all the Securities and the performance of every covenant of this
        Indenture on the part of the Company to be performed or
        observed;

             (2)  immediately after giving effect to such transaction,
        no Event of Default, and no event which, after notice or lapse
        of time, or both, would become an Event of Default, shall have
        happened and be continuing;

             (3)  if as a result thereof any property or assets of the
        Company or a Subsidiary would become subject to any mortgage,
        pledge, security interest or encumbrance, then either (a) such
        mortgage, pledge, lien, security interest or encumbrance shall
        be permitted to be created pursuant to Section 10.4 without
        equally and ratably securing the Securities or (b) the

   tion or merger, or any conveyance or transfer of the properties and assets

   transfer is made shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may
   exercise every right and power of, the Company under this Indenture with
   the same effect as if such successor had been named as the Company herein.

   hereunder and under the Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto,
   the predecessor shall be released from such obligations.


                                   ARTICLE IX

                             SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES

             Section 9.1  Supplemental Indentures Without Consent of Holders. 
   Without the consent of any Holders of Securities or coupons, the Company,
   when authorized by or pursuant to a Board Resolution, and the Trustee, at
   any time and from time to time, may enter into one or more indentures
   supplemental hereto, in form satisfactory to the Trustee, for any of the
   following purposes:

             (1)  to evidence the succession of another Person to the
        Company and the assumption by any such successor of the
        covenants of the Company herein and in the Securities contained;
        or

             (2)  to add to the covenants of the Company for the benefit
        of the Holders of all or any series of Securities and any
        related coupons (and if such covenants are to be for the benefit
        of less than all series of Securities, stating that such
        covenants are expressly being included solely for the benefit of
        such series) or to surrender any right or power herein conferred
        upon the Company; or

             (3)  to add any additional Events of Default  for the
        benefit of the Holders of all or any series of Securities (and
        if such Events of Default are to be for the benefit of less than
        all series of Securities, stating that such Events of Default
        are expressly being included solely for the benefit of such
        series); provided, however, that in respect of any such
        additional Events of Default such supplemental indenture may
        provide for a particular period of grace after default (which
        period may be shorter or longer than that allowed in the case of
        other defaults) or may provide for an immediate enforcement upon
        such default or may limit the remedies available to the Trustee
        upon such default or may limit the right of the Holders of a
        majority in aggregate principal amount of that or those series
        of Securities to which such additional Events of Default apply
        to waive such default; or 

             (4)  to add to or change any of the provisions of this
        Indenture to provide that Bearer Securities may be registrable
        as to principal, to change or eliminate any restrictions on the
        payment of principal of or any premium or interest on Bearer
        Securities, to permit Bearer Securities to be issued in exchange
        for Registered Securities, to permit Bearer Securities to be
        issued in exchange for Bearer Securities of other authorized de-
        nominations or to permit or facilitate the issuance of
        Securities in uncertificated form, provided that any such action
        shall not adversely affect the interests of the Holders of
        Securities of any series or any related coupons; or

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

             (6)  to secure the Securities pursuant to the requirements
        of Section 8.1 or 10.4, or otherwise, or

             (7)  to establish the form or terms of Securities of any
        series and any related coupons as permitted by Sections 2.1 and
        3.1; or

             (8)  to evidence and provide for the acceptance of
        appointment hereunder by a successor Trustee with respect to the
        Securities of one or more series and to add to or change any of
        the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to
        provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts
        hereunder by more than one Trustee; or

             (9)  to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any
        provision herein which may be inconsistent with any other
        provision herein, or to make any other provisions with respect
        to matters or questions arising under this Indenture, provided
        such action shall not adversely affect the interests of the
        Holders of Securities of any series or any related coupons; or

             (10)  to supplement any of the provisions of this Indenture
        to such extent as shall be necessary to permit or facilitate the
        defeasance and discharge of any series of Securities pursuant to
        Sections 4.1, 14.2 and 14.3; provided that any such action shall
        not adversely affect interests of the Holders of Securities of
        such series and any related coupons or any other series of
        Securities.

             Section 9.2  Supplemental Indentures With Consent of Holders. 
   With the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal
   amount of all Outstanding Securities affected by such supplemental
   indenture, by Act of said Holders delivered to the Company and the
   Trustee, the Company, when authorized by or pursuant to a Board
   Resolution, and the Trustee may enter into an indenture or indentures
   supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding any provisions to or
   changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this
   Indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of
   Securities and any related coupons under this Indenture; provided,
   however, that no such supplemental indenture shall, without consent of the
   Holder of each Outstanding Security affected thereby:

             (1)  change the Stated Maturity of the principal of (or
        premium, if any, on) or any installment of principal of or
        interest on, any Security; or reduce the principal amount
        thereof the rate of interest thereon or any Additional Amounts
        payable in respect thereof, or any premium payable upon the re-
        demption thereof, or change any obligation of the Company to pay
        Additional Amounts pursuant to Section 10.9 (except as  contem-
        plated by Section 8.1(1) and permitted by Section 9.1(1)), or
        reduce the amount of the principal of an Original Issue Discount
        Security that would be due and payable upon a declaration of
        acceleration of the Maturity thereof pursuant to Section 5.2 or
        the amount thereof provable in bankruptcy pursuant to Section
        5.4, or adversely affect any right of repayment at the option of
        the Holder of any Security, or change any Place of Payment
        where, or the currency or currencies, currency unit or units or
        composite currency or currencies in which, any Security or any
        premium or the interest thereon is payable, or impair the right
        to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or
        after the State Maturity thereof (or, in the case of redemption
        or repayment at the option of the Holder, on or after the
        Redemption Date or the Repayment Date, as the case may be), or

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

             (3)  modify any of the provisions of this Section 9.2,
        Section 5.13 or 10.10, except to increase any such percentage or
        to provide that certain other provisions of this Indenture
        cannot be modified or waived without the consent of the Holder
        of each Outstanding Security affected thereby.

             It shall not be necessary for any Act of Holders under this
   Section 9.2 to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental
   indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such Act shall approve the
   substance thereof.

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

             Section 9.3  Execution of Supplemental Indentures.  In execut-
   ing, or accepting the additional trusts created by, any supplemental

   receive, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of
   Counsel stating that the execution of such supplemental indenture is
   authorized or permitted by this Indenture.  The Trustee may, but shall not
   be obligated to, enter into any such supplemental indenture which affects
   the Trustee's own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or
   otherwise.

             Section 9.4  Effect of Supplemental Indentures.  Upon the
   execution of any supplemental indenture under this Article IX, this
   Indenture shall be modified in accordance therewith, and such supplemental
   indenture shall form a part of this Indenture for all purposes; and every

   hereunder and of any coupon appertaining thereto shall be bound thereby.

             Section 9.5  Conformity with Trust Indenture Act.  Every
   supplemental indenture executed pursuant to this Article IX shall conform
   to the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act as then in effect.

   Securities of any series authenticated and delivered after the execution
   of any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Article IX may, and shall,
   if required by the Trustee, bear a notation in form approved by the
   Trustee as to any matter provided for in such supplemental indenture.  If
   the Company shall so determine, new Securities of any series so modified
   as to conform, in the opinion of the Trustee and the Company, to any such
   supplemental indenture may be prepared and executed by the Company and
   authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in exchange for Outstanding
   Securities of such series.

                                    ARTICLE X

                                    COVENANTS

             Section 10.1  Payment of Principal, Premium, if Any, and
   Interest.  The Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of each series
   of Securities that it will duly and punctually pay the principal of (and
   premium, if any) and interest on and any Additional Amounts payable in
   respect of the Securities of that series in accordance with the terms of
   such series of Securities, any coupons appertaining thereto and this
   Indenture.  Unless otherwise specified with respect to Securities of any
   series pursuant to Section 3.1, principal of and any premium, interest and
   Additional Amounts on Registered Securities will be payable at the
   Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, except that at the option of the
   Company, interest (including Additional Amounts, if any) may be paid by
   (i) check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such
   address shall appear in the Security Register or (ii) wire transfer to an
   account maintained by the Person entitled thereto as specified in the
   Security Register.  Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section
   3.1 with respect to any series of Securities, any interest due on, and any
   Additional Amounts payable in respect of, Bearer Securities on or before
   Maturity, in respect of the principal of such a Security, shall be payable
   only upon presentation and surrender of the several coupons for such
   interest installments as are evidenced thereby as they severally mature. 
   The Company shall pay interest on overdue principal and, to the extent
   lawful, interest on overdue installments of interest or Additional
   Amounts, if any, at the rate borne by such Securities.

             Section 10.2  Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Company shall
   maintain in each Place of Payment for any series of Securities an office
   or agency where Securities of that series (but not Bearer Securities,
   except as otherwise provided below, unless the Place of Payment is located
   outside of the United States) may be presented or surrendered for payment,
   where Securities of that series may be surrendered for registration of
   transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company
   in respect of the Securities of that series and this Indenture may be
   served.  If Securities of a series are issuable as Bearer Securities, the
   Company shall maintain, subject to any laws or regulations applicable
   thereto, an office or agency in a Place of Payment for such series that is
   located outside of the United States where Securities of that series and
   related coupons may be presented and surrendered for payment (including
   payment of any Additional Amounts payable on Securities of such series
   pursuant to Section 10.9); provided, however, that if the Securities of
   such series are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange or any other stock
   exchange located outside the United States and such stock exchange shall
   so require, the Company will maintain a Paying Agent of the Securities of
   that series in Luxembourg or any other required city located outside the
   United States, as the case may be, so long as the Securities of that
   series are listed on such exchange.  The Company will give prompt written
   notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of
   each such office or agency.  If at any time the Company shall fail to
   maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the
   Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices
   and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the
   Trustee, except that Bearer Securities of that series and the related
   coupons may be presented and surrendered for payment (including payment of
   any Additional Amounts payable on Bearer Securities of  that series
   pursuant to Section 10.9) at the place specified for that purpose pursuant
   to Section 3.1.

             Unless otherwise specified with respect to any Securities
   pursuant to Section 3.1, no payment of principal of or any premium,
   interest or Additional Amounts on Bearer Securities shall be made at any
   office or agency of the Company in the United States or by check mailed to
   any address in the United States or by transfer to an account maintained
   with a bank located in the United States; provided, however, that, if the
   Securities of a series are payable in Dollars, payment of principal of and
   any premium, interest or Additional Amounts on any Bearer Security shall
   be made at the office of the Company's Paying Agent, if (but only if)
   payment in Dollars of the full amount of such principal, premium, interest
   or Additional Amounts, as the case may be, at all offices or agencies
   outside the United States maintained for that purpose by the Company in
   accordance with this Indenture is illegal or effectively precluded by
   exchange controls or other similar restrictions.

             The Company may from time to time designate one or more other
   offices or agencies where the Securities of one or more series may be
   presented or surrendered for any or all of such purposes and may from time
   to time rescind such designations; provided, however that no such
   designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its
   obligation to maintain an office or agency in accordance with the
   requirements set forth above for Securities of any series for such
   purposes.  The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of
   any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of
   any such other office or agency.  Unless otherwise specified with respect
   to any Securities pursuant to Section 3.1 with respect to a series of
   Securities, the Company hereby designates as Place of Payment for each
   series of Securities the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and
   initially appoints the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office as Paying
   Agent and as its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders,
   notices and demands.

             Unless otherwise specified with respect to any Securities
   pursuant to Section 3.1, if and so long as the Securities of any series
   (i) are denominated in a currency other than Dollars or (ii) may be
   payable in a currency other than Dollars, or so long as it is required
   under any other provision of the Indenture, then the Company will maintain
   with respect to each such series of Securities, or as so required, at
   least one Exchange Rate Agent.

             Section 10.3  Money for Securities Payments to Be Held in Trust. 
   If the Company shall at any time act as its own Paying Agent with respect
   to any series of any Securities and any related coupons, it will, on or
   before each due date of the principal of (and premium, if any), or
   interest on or Additional Amounts in respect of, any of the Securities of
   that series, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Person
   entitled thereto a sum in the currency or currencies, currency unit or
   unites or composite currency or currencies in which the Securities of such
   series are payable (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.1
   for the Securities of such series and except, if applicable, as provided
   in Sections 3.12(b), 3.12(d) and 3.12(c) sufficient to pay the principal
   (and premium, if any) or interest or Additional Amounts so becoming due
   until such sums shall be paid to such Person or otherwise disposed of as
   herein provided, and will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or
   failure so to act.

             Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents for
   any series of Securities and any related coupons, it will, on or before
   each due date of the principal of (and premium, if any), or interest on or
   Additional Amounts in respect of, any Securities of that series, deposit
   with a Paying Agent a sum (in the currency or currencies, currency unit or
   units or composite currency or currencies described in the preceding
   paragraph) sufficient to pay the principal (and premium, if any) or
   interest or Additional Amounts, so becoming due, such sum to be held in
   trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such principal, premium
   or interest or Additional Amounts and (unless such Paying Agent is the
   Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or
   failure so to act.

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

             Except as otherwise provided in the Securities of any series,
   any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by
   the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if
   any) or interest on any Security of any series and remaining unclaimed for
   two years after such principal (and premium, if any) or interest has
   become due and payable shall be paid to the Company upon Company Request
   or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and
   the Holder of such Security shall thereafter, as an unsecured general
   creditor, look only to the Company for payment of such principal of (and
   premium, if any) or interest on any Security, without interest thereon,
   and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such
   trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall
   thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent,
   before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of
   the Company cause to be published once, in an Authorized Newspaper, notice
   that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified
   therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date such publi-
   cation, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid
   to the Company.

             Section 10.4  Limitation on Dividend and Other Payment Restric-
   tions Affecting Restricted Subsidiaries.  The Company will not, and will
   not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, create or
   otherwise cause or suffer to exist or become effective any consensual
   encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to
   (a)(i) pay dividends or make any other distributions on its Capital Stock
   or (ii) pay any Indebtedness owed to the Company or a Restricted Subsid-
   iary, (b) make loans or advances to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary
   or (c) transfer any of its properties or assets to the Company or a
   Restricted Subsidiary, except for such encumbrances or restrictions exist-
   ing under or by reason of (i) any restrictions contained in Indebtedness
   with respect to the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries in existence on
   the Issue Date; (ii) any restrictions, with respect to a Restricted
   Subsidiary that is not a Restricted Subsidiary on the date of this
   Indenture, under any agreement in existence at the time such Restricted
   Subsidiary becomes a Restricted Subsidiary (unless such agreement was en-
   tered into in connection with, or in contemplation of, such entity
   becoming a Restricted Subsidiary on or after the date of this Indenture);
   (iii) any restrictions under any agreement evidencing any Acquired
   Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary; provided that such restrictions
   shall not restrict or encumber any assets of the Company or its Restricted
   Subsidiaries other than such Restricted Subsidiary; (iv) restrictions
   existing under any agreement that refinances or replaces the agreements
   containing restrictions described in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above;
   provided that the terms and conditions of any such restrictions are in the
   good faith determination of the Board of Directors no less favorable to
   the Holders of the Securities than those under the agreement so refinanced
   or replaced; or (v) any encumbrance or restriction due to applicable law.

             Section 10.5  Limitation on Secured Debt.  The Company will not,
   and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, create, assume or
   guarantee any Secured Debt without making effective provision for securing
   the Securities (and, if the Company shall so determine, any other in-
   debtedness of or guaranteed by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary),
   equally and ratably with such Secured Debt; provided that this covenant
   does not apply to debt secured by (a) certain mortgages, pledges, liens,
   security interests or encumbrances to secure payment of all or part of the
   purchase price or the cost of construction or improvement of property of
   the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, (b) mortgages, pledges, liens,
   security interests or encumbrances on property existing at the time of
   acquisition thereof, whether or not assumed by the Company or any
   Restricted Subsidiary, (c) mortgages, pledges, liens, security interests
   or encumbrances on property, shares of stock or indebtedness of a
   corporation existing at the time such corporation becomes a Restricted
   Subsidiary, (d) mortgages, pledges, liens, security interests or encum-
   brances on property of a corporation existing at the time such corporation
   is merged into or consolidated with the Company or any Restricted
   Subsidiary or at the time of a sale, lease or other disposition of the
   properties of a corporation or firm as an entirety or substantially as an
   entirety to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, (e) mortgages,
   including mortgages, pledges, liens, security interests or encumbrances,
   on property of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in favor of the
   United States of America, any State thereof, or any other country, or any
   agency, instrumentality or political subdivision thereof, to secure
   certain payments pursuant to any contract or statute or to secure indebt-
   edness incurred for the purpose of financing all or any part of the pur-
   chase price or the cost of construction or improvement of the property
   subject to such mortgages, (f) any extension, renewal or replacement (or
   successive extensions, renewals or replacements), in whole or in part, of
   any mortgage, pledge, lien or encumbrance referred to in the foregoing
   clauses (a) to (e), inclusive, provided that the principal amount of such
   indebtedness shall not exceed the principal amount outstanding at the time
   of such extension, renewal or replacement, and that such extension,
   renewal or replacement shall be limited to property which secured the
   mortgage so extended, renewed or replaced and additions to such property,
   or (g) any mortgage, pledge, lien, security interest or encumbrance
   securing indebtedness owing by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary to
   the Company or to one or more Restricted Subsidiaries or both.  In
   addition to the foregoing specific exceptions, the Company and one or more
   Restricted Subsidiaries may, without securing the Securities, create,
   assume or guarantee Secured Debt which would otherwise be subject to the
   foregoing restrictions, provided that, after giving effect thereto, the
   aggregate amount of all Secured Debt then outstanding (not including
   Secured Debt permitted under the foregoing exceptions) and the aggregate
   "value" of Sale and Leaseback Transactions (as defined in Section 10.6)
   (other than such transactions in connection with which indebtedness has
   been, or will be, retired in accordance with clause (b) of Section 10.6)
   at such time does not exceed 5% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets.  

             Section 10.6  Limitation on Sale and Leaseback Transactions. 
   The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to,
   sell or transfer (except to the Company or one or more Restricted Subsid-
   iaries, or both) any Principal Property owned by it with the intention of
   taking back a lease on such property except a lease for a period not
   exceeding three years with the intent that the use by the Company or such
   Restricted Subsidiary of such property will be discontinued on or before
   the expiration of such period (a "Sale and Leaseback Transaction") unless
   (a) the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary would be entitled pursuant
   to Section 10.5 to incur Secured Debt in an amount equal to the amount
   realized or to be realized upon such sale or transfer secured by a
   mortgage on the property to be leased without equally and ratably securing
   the Securities, or (b) the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary shall
   apply an amount equal to the value of the property so leased to the
   retirement (other than payment at maturity or mandatory prepayment),
   within 120 days after the effective date of such arrangement, of indebt-
   edness for money borrowed by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary
   which was recorded as funded debt as of the date of its creation and
   which, in the case of such indebtedness of the Company, is not subordinate
   and junior in right of payment to the Securities, subject to credits for
   certain voluntary retirements of such indebtedness.  The term "value"
   means, with respect to a Sale and Leaseback Transaction, as of any
   particular time, the amount equal to the greater of (i) the net proceeds
   of the sale of the property leased pursuant to such Sale and Leaseback
   Transaction, or (ii) the fair value of such property at the time of
   entering into such Sale and Leaseback Transaction, as determined by the
   Board of Directors, in either case divided first by the number of full
   years of the term of the lease and then multiplied by the number of full
   years of such term remaining at the time of determination, without regard
   to any renewal or extension options contained in the lease.

             Section 10.7  Limitation on Transfer of Principal Property.  The
   Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, trans-
   fer any Principal Property to any Unrestricted Subsidiary unless it
   applies an amount equal to the fair value of such property at the time of
   transfer, as determined by the Board of Directors, to the retirement
   (other than mandatory retirement), within 120 days after the effective
   date of such transfer, of indebtedness for money borrowed by the Company
   or any Restricted Subsidiary which was recorded as funded debt as of the
   date of its creation and which, in case of such indebtedness of the
   Company, is not subordinated and junior in right of payment of the Debt
   Securities.  "Principal Property" means any manufacturing plant or other
   facility having a gross book value in excess of 1% of Consolidated Net
   Tangible Assets at the time of determination thereof and owned or leased
   by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary and located in the United
   States of America, Canada or the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, other than
   any such manufacturing plant or other facility or portion thereof which,
   in the opinion of the Board of Directors, is not of material importance to
   the business conducted by the Company and its Subsidiaries as a whole.

             Section 10.8  Statement as to Compliance.  The Company will
   deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year,
   a brief certificate from the principal executive officer, principal
   financial officer or principal accounting officer as to such officer's
   knowledge of the Company's compliance with all conditions and covenants
   under this Indenture.  For purposes of this Section 10.8, such compliance
   shall be determined without regard to any period of grace or requirement
   of notice under this Indenture.

             Section 10.9  Additional Amounts.  If any Securities of a series
   provide for the payment of Additional Amounts, the Company will pay the
   Holder of any Security of such series or any coupon appertaining thereto
   Additional Amounts as may be specified as contemplated by Section 3.1. 
   Whenever in this Indenture there is mentioned, in any context, the payment
   of the principal of or any premium or interest on, or in respect of, any
   Security of any series or payment of any related coupon or the net
   proceeds received on the sale or exchange of any Security of any series,
   such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of
   Additional Amounts provided by the terms of such series established
   pursuant to Section 3.1 to the extent that, in such context, Additional
   Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof pursuant to such
   terms and express mention of the payment of Additional Amounts (if
   applicable) in any provisions hereof shall not be construed as excluding
   Additional Amounts in those provisions hereof where such express mention
   is not made.

             Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.1, if
   the Securities of a series provide for the payment of Additional Amounts,
   at least 10 days prior to the first Interest Payment Date with respect to
   that series of Securities (or if the Securities of that series will not
   bear interest prior to Maturity, the first day on which a payment of
   principal and any premium is made), and at least 10 days prior to each
   date of payment of principal and any premium or interest if there has been
   any change with respect to the matters set forth in the below-mentioned
   Officers' Certificate, the Company will furnish the Trustee and the
   Company's principal Paying Agent or Paying Agents, if other than the
   Trustee, with an Officers' Certificate instructing the Trustee and such
   Paying Agent or Paying Agents whether such payment of principal of and any
   premium or interest on the Securities of the series shall be made to
   Holders of Securities of the series or any related coupons who are not
   United States persons without withholding for or on account of any tax,
   assessment or other governmental charge described in the Securities of the
   series.  If any such withholding shall be required, then such Officers'
   Certificate shall specify by country the amount, if any, required to be
   withheld on such payments to such Holders of Securities of that series or
   related coupons and the Company will pay to the Trustee or any Paying
   Agent the Additional Amounts required by the terms of such Securities.  In
   the event that the Trustee or any Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall
   not so receive the above-mentioned certificate, then the Trustee or such
   Paying Agent shall be entitled (i) to assume that no such withholding or
   deduction is required with respect to any payment of principal or interest
   with respect to any Securities of a series or related coupons until it
   shall have received a certificate advising otherwise and (ii) to make all
   payments of principal and interest with respect to the Securities of a
   series or related coupons without withholding or deductions until
   otherwise advised.  The Company covenants to indemnify the Trustee and any
   Paying Agent for, and to hold them harmless against, any loss, liability
   or expense reasonably incurred without negligence or bad faith on their
   part arising out of or in connection with actions taken or omitted by any
   of them in reliance on any Officer's Certificate furnished pursuant to
   this Section.

             Section 10.10  Waiver of Certain Covenants.  The Company may
   omit in any particular instance to comply with any term, provision or
   condition set forth in Sections 10.4, 10.5, 10.6 or 10.7 if before or
   after the time for such compliance the Holders of at least a majority in
   principal amount of all outstanding Securities, by Act of such Holders,
   waive such compliance in such instance or generally waive compliance with
   such term, provision or condition, but no such waiver shall extend to or
   after such term, provision or condition except to the extent so expressly
   waived, and, until such waiver shall become effective, the obligations of
   the Company and the duties of the Trustee in respect of any such term,
   provision or condition shall become effective, the obligations of the
   Company and the duties of the Trustee in respect of any such term,
   provision or condition shall remain in full force and effect.


                                   ARTICLE XI

                            REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES

             Section 11.1  Applicability of Article.  Securities of any
   series which are redeemable before their Stated Maturity shall be
   redeemable in accordance with their terms and (except as otherwise
   specified as contemplated by Section 3.1 for Securities of any series) in
   accordance with this Article XI.

             Section 11.2  Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee.  The
   election of the Company to redeem any Securities shall be evidenced by or
   pursuant to a Board Resolution.  In case of any redemption at the election
   of the Company of less than all of the Securities of any series, the
   Company shall, at least 60 days prior to the Redemption Date fixed by the
   Company (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee),
   notify the Trustee of such Redemption Date and of the principal amount of
   Securities of such series to be redeemed.  In the case of any redemption
   of Securities prior to the expiration of any restriction on such
   redemption provided in the terms of such Securities or elsewhere in this
   Indenture, the Company shall furnish the Trustee with an Officers'
   Certificate evidencing compliance with such restriction.

             Section 11.3  Selection by Trustee of Securities to Be Redeemed. 
   If less than all the Securities of any series issued on the same day with
   the same terms are to be redeemed, the particular Securities to be
   redeemed shall be selected not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption
   Date by the Trustee, from the Outstanding Securities of such series issued
   on such date with the same terms not previously called for redemption, by
   such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate and which may
   provide for the selection for redemption of portions (equal to the minimum
   authorized denomination for Securities of that series or any integral
   multiple thereof) of the principal amount of Securities of such series of
   a denomination larger than the minimum authorized denomination for
   securities of that series.

             The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company and the Security
   Registrar (if other than itself) in writing of the Securities selected for
   redemption and, in the case of any Securities selected for partial
   redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed.

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

             Section 11.4  Notice of Redemption.  Notice of redemption shall
   be given in the manner provided in Section 1.6, not less than 30 days nor
   more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, unless a shorter period is
   specified by the terms of such series established pursuant to Section 3.1,
   to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed, but failure to give such
   notice in the manner herein provided to the Holder of any Security desig-
   nated for redemption as a whole or in part, or any defect in the notice to
   any such Holder, shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the
   redemption of any other such Security or portion thereof.

             Any notice that is mailed to the Holders of Registered
   Securities in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to
   have been duly given, whether or not the Holder receives the notice.

             All notices of redemption shall state:

             (1)  the Redemption Date,

             (2)  the Redemption Price, accrued interest to the
        Redemption Date payable as provided in Section 11.6, if any, and
        Additional Amounts, if any,

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

             (4)  in case any Security is to be redeemed in part only,
        the notice which relates to such Security shall state that on
        and after the Redemption Date, upon surrender of such Security,
        the Holder will receive, without a charge, a new Security or
        Securities of authorized denominations for the principal amount
        thereof remaining unredeemed,

             (5)  that on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price and
        accrued interest to the Redemption Date payable as provided in
        Section 11.6, if any, will become due and payable upon each such
        Security, or the portion thereof, to be redeemed and, if
        applicable, that interest thereon shall cease to accrue on and
        after said date,

             (6)  the Place or Places of Payment where such Securities,
        together in the case of Bearer Securities with all coupons
        appertaining thereto, if any, maturing after the Redemption
        Date, are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price
        and accrued interest, if any,

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

             (8)  that, unless otherwise specified in such notice,
        Bearer Securities of any series, if any, surrendered for
        redemption must be accompanied by all coupons maturing subse-
        quent to the date fixed for redemption or the amount of any such
        missing coupon or coupons will be deducted from the Redemption
        Price, unless security or indemnity satisfactory to the Company,
        the Trustee for such series and any Paying Agent is furnished,

             (9)  if Bearer Securities of any series are to be redeemed
        and any Registered Securities of such series are not to be
        redeemed, and if such Bearer Securities may be exchanged for
        Registered Securities not subject to redemption on this
        Redemption Date pursuant to Section 3.5 or otherwise, the last
        date, as determined by the Company, on which such exchanges may
        be made, and

             (10)  the CUSIP number of such Security, if any.

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

             Section 11.5  Deposit of Redemption Price.  On or prior to any
   Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with a
   Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, which
   it may not do in the case of a sinking fund payment under Article XII,
   segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 10.3) an amount of
   money in the currency or currencies, currency unit or units or composite
   currency or currencies in which the Securities of such series are payable
   (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.1 for the Securities
   of such series and except, if applicable, as provided in Sections 3.12(b),
   3.12(d) and 3.12(e)) sufficient to pay on the Redemption Date the
   Redemption Price of, and (except if the Redemption Date shall be an
   Interest Payment Date) accrued interest on, all the Securities or portions
   thereof which are to be redeemed on that date.

             Section 11.6  Securities Payable on Redemption Date.   Notice of
   redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Securities so to be
   redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the
   Redemption Price therein specified in the currency or currencies, currency
   unit or units or composite currency or currencies in which the Securities
   of such series are payable (except as otherwise specified pursuant to
   Section 3.1 for the Securities of such series and except, if applicable,
   as provided in Sections 3.12(b), 3.12(d) and 3.12(e)) (together with
   accrued interest, if any, to the Redemption Date), and from and after such
   date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption
   Price and accrued interest) such Securities shall if the same were
   interest-bearing cease to bear interest and the coupons for such interest
   appertaining to any Bearer Securities so to be redeemed, except to the
   extent provided below, shall be void.  Upon surrender of any such Security
   for redemption in accordance with said notice, together with all coupons,
   if any, appertaining thereto maturing after the Redemption Date, such
   Security shall be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price, together
   with accrued interest, if any, to the Redemption Date; provided, however,
   that installments of interest on Bearer Securities whose Stated Maturity
   is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable only at an office
   or agency located outside the United States (except as otherwise provided
   in Section 10.2) and, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by
   Section 3.1, only upon presentation and surrender of coupons for such
   interest, and provided further that installments of interest on Registered
   Securities whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date
   shall be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more
   Predecessor Securities, registered as such at the close of business on the
   relevant Record Dates according to their terms and the provisions of
   Section 3.7.

             If any Bearer Security surrendered for redemption shall not be
   accompanied by all appurtenant coupons maturing after the Redemption Date,
   such Security may be paid after deducting from the Redemption Price an
   amount equal to the face amount of all such missing coupons, or the
   surrender of such missing coupon or coupons may be waived by the Company
   and the Trustee if there be furnished to them such security or indemnity
   as they may require to save each of them and any Paying Agent harmless. 
   If thereafter the Holder of such Security shall surrender to the Trustee
   or any Paying Agent any such missing coupon in respect of which a
   deduction shall have been made from the Redemption Price, such Holder
   shall be entitled to receive the amount so deducted; provided, however,
   that interest represented by coupons shall be payable only at an office or
   agency located outside the United States (except as otherwise provided in
   Section 10.2) and, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section
   3.1, only upon presentation and surrender of those coupons.

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

             Section 11.7  Securities Redeemed in Part.  Any Registered
   Security which is to be redeemed only in part (pursuant to the provisions
   of this Article XI or of Article XII) shall be surrendered at a Place of
   Payment therefor (with, if the Company or the Trustee so requires, due
   endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory
   to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or
   such Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing) and the Company shall
   execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of
   such Security without service charge a new Security or Securities of the
   same series, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder in
   aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed
   portion of the principal of the Security so surrendered.


                                   ARTICLE XII

                                  SINKING FUNDS

             Section 12.1  Applicability of Article.  The provisions of this
   Article XII shall be applicable to any sinking fund for the retirement of
   Securities of a series except as otherwise specified as contemplated by
   Section 3.1 for Securities of such series.

             The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by
   the terms of Securities of any series is herein referred to as a
   "mandatory sinking fund payment," and any payment in excess of such
   minimum amount provided for by the terms of such Securities of any series
   is herein referred to as an "optional sinking fund payment."  If  provided
   for by the terms of any Securities of any series, the cash amount of any
   mandatory sinking fund payment may be subject to reduction as provided in
   Section 12.2.  Each sinking fund payment shall be applied to the
   redemption of Securities of any series as provided for by the terms of
   Securities of such series.

             Section 12.2  Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments with
   Securities.  The Company may, in satisfaction of all or any part of any
   mandatory sinking fund payment with respect to the Securities of a series,
   (1) deliver Outstanding Securities of such series (other than any
   previously called for redemption) together, in the case of any Bearer
   Securities of such series, with all unmatured coupons appertaining thereto
   and (2) apply as a credit Securities of such series which have been
   redeemed either at the election of the Company pursuant to the terms of
   such Securities or through the application of permitted optional sinking
   fund payments pursuant to the terms of such Securities, as provided for by
   the terms of such Securities; provided that such Securities so delivered
   or applied as a credit have not been previously so credited.  Such
   Securities shall be received and credited for such purpose by the Trustee
   at the applicable Redemption Price specified in such Securities for
   redemption through operation of the sinking fund, and the amount of such
   mandatory sinking fund payment shall be reduced accordingly.

             Section 12.3  Redemption of Securities for Sinking Fund.  Not
   less than 60 days prior to each sinking fund payment date for Securities
   of any series, the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officers'
   Certificate specifying the amount of the next ensuing mandatory sinking
   fund payment for that series pursuant to the terms of that series, the
   portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by payment of cash in
   the currency or currencies, currency unit or units or composite currency
   or currencies in which the Securities of such series are payable (except
   as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.1 for the Securities of such
   series and except, if applicable, as provided in Sections 3.12(b), 3.12(d)
   and 3.12(c)) and the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by
   delivering and crediting Securities of that series pursuant to Section
   12.2, and the optional amount, if any, to be added in cash to the next
   ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment, and will also deliver to the
   Trustee any Securities to be so delivered and credited.  If such Officers'
   Certificate shall specify an optional amount to be added in cash to the
   next ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment, the Company shall thereupon
   be obligated to pay the amount therein specified.  Not less than 30 days
   before each such sinking fund payment date the Trustee shall select the
   Securities to be redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date in the
   manner specified in Section 11.3 and cause notice of the redemption
   thereof to be given in the name of and at the expense of the Company in
   the manner provided in Section 11.4.  Such notice having been duly given,
   the redemption of such Securities shall be made upon the terms and in the
   manner stated  in Sections 11.6 and 11.7.

                                  ARTICLE XIII

                       REPAYMENT AT THE OPTION OF HOLDERS

             Section 13.1  Applicability of Article.  Repayment of Securities
   of any series before their Stated Maturity at the option of the Holders
   thereof shall be made in accordance with the terms of such Securities and
   (except as otherwise specified by the terms of such series established
   pursuant to Section 3.1) in accordance with this Article XIII.

             Section 13.2  Repayment of Securities.  Securities of any series
   subject to repayment in whole or in part at the option of the Holders
   thereof will, unless otherwise provided in the terms of such Securities,
   be repaid at a price equal to the principal amount thereof, together with
   interest, if any, thereon accrued to the Repayment Date specified in or
   pursuant to the terms of such Securities.  The Company covenants that on
   or before the Repayment Date it will deposit with the Trustee or with a
   Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent,
   segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 10.3) an amount of
   money in the currency or currencies, currency unit or units or composite
   currency or currencies in which the Securities of such series are payable
   (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.1 for the Securities
   of such series and except, if applicable, as provided in Sections 3.12(b),
   3.12(d) and 3.12(e)) sufficient to pay the principal (or, if so provided
   by the terms of the Securities of any series, a percentage of the
   principal) of, and (except if the Repayment Date shall be an Interest
   Payment Date) accrued interest on, all the Securities or portions thereof,
   as the case may be, to be repaid on such date.

             Section 13.3  Exercise of Option.  Securities of any series
   subject to repayment at the option of the Holders thereof will contain an
   "Option to Elect Repayment" form on the reverse of such Securities.  To be
   repaid at the option of the Holder, any Security so providing for such
   repayment, with the "Option to Elect Repayment" form on the reverse of
   such Security duly completed by the Holder (or by the Holder's attorney
   duly authorized in writing), must be received by the Company at the Place
   of Payment therefor specified in the terms of such Security (or at such
   other place or places of which the Company shall from time to time notify
   the Holders of such Securities) not earlier than 45 days nor later than 30
   days prior to the Repayment Date.  If less than the entire principal
   amount of such Security is to be repaid in accordance with the terms of
   such Security, the principal amount of such Security to be repaid, in
   increments of the minimum denomination for Securities of such series, and
   the denomination or denominations of the Security or Securities to be
   issued to the Holder for the portion of the principal amount of such
   Security surrendered that is not to be repaid, must be specified.  The
   principal amount of any Security providing for repayment at the option of
   the Holder thereof may not be repaid in part if, following such repayment,
   the unpaid principal amount of such Security would be less than the
   minimum authorized denomination of Securities of the series of which such
   Security to be repaid is a part.  Except as otherwise may be provided by
   the terms of any Security providing for repayment at the option of the
   Holder thereof, exercise of the repayment option by the Holder shall be
   irrevocable unless waived by the Company.

             Section 13.4  When Securities Presented for Repayment Become Due
   and Payable.  If Securities of any series providing for repayment at the
   option of the Holders thereof shall have been surrendered as provided in
   this Article XIII and as provided by or pursuant to the terms of such
   Securities, such Securities or the portions thereof, as the case may be,
   to be repaid shall become due and payable and shall be paid by the Company
   on the Repayment Date therein specified, and on and after such Repayment
   Date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of such Securities
   on such Repayment Date) such Securities shall, if the same were interest-
   bearing, cease to bear interest and the coupons for such interest
   appertaining to any Bearer Securities so to be repaid, except to the
   extent provided below, shall be void.  Upon surrender of any such Security
   for repayment in accordance with such provisions, together with all
   coupons, if any, appertaining thereto maturing after the Repayment Date,
   the principal amount of such Security so to be repaid shall be paid by the
   Company, together with accrued interest, if any, to the Repayment Date;
   provided, however, that coupons whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to
   the Repayment Date shall be payable only at an office or agency located
   outside the United States (except as otherwise provided in Section 10.2)
   and, unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.1, only upon
   presentation and surrender of such coupons, and provided further that, in
   the case of Registered Securities, installments of interest, if any, whose
   Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Repayment Date shall be payable (but
   without interest thereon, unless the Company shall default in the payment
   thereof) to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor
   Securities, registered as such at the close of business on the relevant
   Record Dates according to their terms and the provisions of Section 3.7.

             If any Bearer Security surrendered for repayment shall not be
   accompanied by all appurtenant coupons maturing after the Repayment Date,
   such Security may be paid after deducting from the amount payable therefor
   as provided in Section 13.2 an amount equal to the face amount of all such
   missing coupons, or the surrender of such missing coupon or coupons may be
   waived by the Company and the Trustee if there be furnished to them such
   security or indemnity as they may require to save each of them and any
   Paying Agent harmless.  If thereafter the Holder of such Security shall
   surrender to the Trustee or any Paying Agent any such missing coupon in
   respect of which a deduction shall have been made as provided in the
   preceding sentence, such Holder shall be entitled to receive the amount so
   deducted; provided, however, that interest represented by coupons shall be
   payable only at an office or agency located outside the United States
   (except as otherwise provided in Section 10.2) and, unless otherwise
   specified as contemplated by Section 3.1, only upon presentation and
   surrender of those coupons.

             If the principal amount of any Security surrendered for
   repayment shall not be so repaid upon surrender thereof, such principal
   amount (together with interest, if any, thereon accrued to such Repayment
   Date) shall, until paid, bear interest from the Repayment Date at the rate
   of interest or Yield to Maturity (in the case of Original Issue Discount
   Securities) set forth in such Security.

             Section 13.5  Securities Repaid in Part.  Upon surrender of any
   Registered Security which is to be repaid in part only, the Company shall
   execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of
   such Security, without service charge and at the expense of the Company, a
   new Registered Security or Securities of the same series, of any
   authorized denomination specified by the Holder, in an aggregate principal
   amount equal to and in exchange for the portion of the principal of such
   Security so surrendered which is not to be repaid.


                                   ARTICLE XIV

                       DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE

             Section 14.1  Applicability of Article; Company's Option to
   Effect Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.  If pursuant to Section 3.1
   provision is made for either or both of (a) defeasance of the Securities
   of or within a series under Section 14.2 or (b) covenant defeasance of the
   Securities of or within a series under Section 14.3, then the provisions
   of such Section or Sections, as the case may be, together with the other
   provisions of this Article XIV (with such modifications thereto as may be
   specified pursuant to Section 3.1 with respect to any Securities), shall
   be applicable to such Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto, and
   the Company may at its option by Board Resolution, at any time, with
   respect to such Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto, elect to
   have Section 14.2 (if applicable) or Section 14.3 (if applicable) be
   applied to the Outstanding Securities of such series and any coupons
   appertaining thereto upon compliance with the conditions set forth below
   in this Article XIV.

             Section 14.2  Defeasance and Discharge.  Upon the Company's
   exercise of the above option applicable to this Section 14.2 with respect
   to any Securities of or within a series, the Company shall be deemed to
   have been discharged from its obligations with respect to the Outstanding
   Securities of such series and any coupons appertaining thereto on the date
   the conditions set forth in Section 14.4 are satisfied (hereinafter,
   "defeasance").  For this purpose, such defeasance means that the Company
   shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness
   represented by the Outstanding Securities of such series and any coupons
   appertaining thereto, which shall thereafter be deemed to be "Outstanding"
   only for the purposes of Section 14.5 and the other Sections of this
   Indenture referred to in clauses (A) and (B) of this Section 14.2, and to
   have satisfied all its other obligations under such Securities and any
   coupons appertaining thereto and this Indenture insofar as such Securities
   and any coupons appertaining thereto are concerned (and the Trustee, at
   the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging
   the same), except for the following which shall survive until otherwise
   terminated or discharged hereunder:  (A) the rights of Holders of the
   Outstanding Securities of such series and any coupons appertaining thereto
   to receive, solely from the trust fund described in Section 14.4 and as
   more fully set forth in such Section, payments in respect of the principal
   of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on such Securities and any
   coupons appertaining thereto when such payments are due, (B) the Company's
   obligations with respect to such Securities under Sections 3.5, 3.6, 10.2
   and 10.3 and with respect to the payment of Additional Amounts, if any, on
   such Securities as contemplated by Section 10.9, (C) the rights, powers,
   trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and (D) this
   Article XIV.  Subject to compliance with this Article XIV, the Company may
   exercise its option under this Section 14.2 notwithstanding the prior
   exercise of its option under Section 14.3 with respect to such Securities
   and any coupons appertaining thereto.

             Section 14.3  Covenant Defeasance.  Upon the Company's exercise
   of the above option applicable to this Section 14.3 with respect to any
   Securities of or within a series, the Company shall be released from its
   obligations under Sections 10.4, 10.5, 10.6 and 10.7, and, if specified
   pursuant to Section 3.1, its obligations under any other covenant (except
   those obligations set forth in Sections 5.14, 10.1 and 10.2), with respect
   to the Outstanding Securities of such series and any coupons appertaining
   thereto on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 14.4 are
   satisfied (hereinafter, "covenant defeasance"), and such Securities and
   any coupons appertaining thereto shall thereafter be deemed to be not
   "Outstanding" for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or
   declaration or Act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in
   connection with Sections 10.4, 10.5, 10.6 and 10.7, or such other
   covenant, but shall continue to be deemed "Outstanding" for all other
   purposes hereunder.  For this purpose, such covenant defeasance means
   that, with respect to the Outstanding Securities of such series and any
   coupons appertaining thereto, the Company may omit to comply with and
   shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation
   set forth in any such Section or such other covenant, whether directly or
   indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such
   Section or such other covenant or by reason of reference in any such
   Section or such other covenant to any other provision herein or in any
   other document, and payment of the Securities of such series may not be
   accelerated because of a default or an Event of Default under Section
   5.1(7), 5.1(8) or 5.1(9) or because of the failure of the Company to
   comply with Section 8.1(3), as the case may be, but, except as specified
   above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Securities and any coupons
   appertaining thereto shall be unaffected thereby.

             Section 14.4  Conditions to Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 
   The following shall be the conditions to application of Section 14.2 or
   Section 14.3 to any Outstanding Securities of or within a series and any
   coupons appertaining thereto:

                  (a)  The Company shall irrevocably have deposited or caused
   to be deposited with the Trustee (or another trustee satisfying the
   requirements of Section 6.7 who shall agree to comply with the provisions
   of this Article XIV applicable to it) as trust funds in trust for the
   purpose of making the following payments, specifically pledged as security
   for, and dedicated solely to, the benefit of the Holders of such
   Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto, (1) money in an amount
   (in such currency, currencies or currency unit in which such Securities
   and any coupons appertaining thereto and then specified as payable at
   Stated Maturity), or (2) Government Obligations applicable to such
   Securities and coupons appertaining thereto (determined on the basis of
   the currency, currencies or currency unit in which such Securities and
   coupons appertaining thereto are then specified as payable at Stated
   Maturity) which through the scheduled payment of principal and interest in
   respect thereof in accordance with their terms will provide, not later
   than one day before the due date of any payment of principal of (and
   premium, if any) and interest, if any, on such Securities and any coupons
   appertaining thereto, money in an amount, or (3) a combination thereof in
   an amount, which, in the case of (1), (2) or (3) is sufficient, in the
   opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants
   expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, to
   pay and discharge, and which shall be applied by the Trustee (or other
   qualifying trustee) to pay and discharge, (i) the principal of (and
   premium, if any) and interest, if any, on such Outstanding Securities and
   any coupons appertaining thereto on the Stated Maturity of such principal
   or installment of principal or interest and (ii) any mandatory sinking
   fund payments or analogous payments applicable to such Outstanding
   Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto on the day on which such
   payments are due and payable in accordance with the terms of this
   Indenture and of such Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto;

                  (b)  Such defeasance or covenant defeasance shall not
   result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, this
   Indenture or any other material agreement or instrument to which the
   Company is a party or by which it is bound;

                  (c)  No Event of Default or event which with notice or
   lapse of time or both would become an Event of Default with respect to
   such Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto shall have occurred
   and be continuing on the date of such deposit or, insofar as Sections
   5.1(5) and 5.1(6) are concerned, at any time during the period ending on
   the 91st day after the date of such deposit (it being understood that this
   condition shall not be deemed satisfied until the expiration of such
   period);

                  (d)  In the case of an election under Section 14.2, the
   Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel by
   recognized counsel who is not an employee of the Company stating that (i)
   the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the
   Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or (ii) since the date of execution of
   this Indenture, there has been a change in the applicable federal income
   tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion
   shall confirm that, the Holders of such Outstanding Securities and any
   coupons appertaining thereto will not recognize income, gain or loss for
   federal income tax purposes as a result of such defeasance and will be
   subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and
   at the same times as would have been the case if such defeasance had not
   occurred;

                  (e)  In the case of an election under Section 14.3, the
   Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel by
   recognized counsel who is not an employee of the Company to the effect
   that the Holders of such Outstanding Securities and any coupons
   appertaining thereto will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal
   income tax purposes as a result of such covenant defeasance and will be
   subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and
   at the same times as would have been the case if such covenant defeasance
   had not occurred;

                  (f)  The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an
   Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all
   conditions precedent to the defeasance under Section 14.2 or the covenant
   defeasance under Section 14.3 (as the case may be) have been complied
   with; and

                  (g)  Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section
   14.4, such defeasance or covenant defeasance shall be effected in
   compliance with any additional or substitute terms, conditions or
   limitations which may be imposed on the Company in connection therewith
   pursuant to Section 3.1.

             Section 14.5  Deposited Money and Government Obligations to Be
   Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions.  Subject to the provisions
   of the last paragraph of Section 10.3, all money and Government
   Obligations (or other property as may be provided pursuant to Section 3.1)
   (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other
   qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 14.5, the
   "Trustee") pursuant to Section 14.4 in respect of any Outstanding
   Securities of any series and any coupons appertaining thereto shall be
   held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provi-
   sions of such Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto and this
   Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent
   (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may
   determine, to the Holders of such Securities and any coupons appertaining
   thereto of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal
   (and premium, if any) and interest and Additional Amounts, if any, but
   such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent
   required by law.

             Unless otherwise specified with respect to any Security pursuant
   to Section 3.1, if, after a deposit referred to in Section 14.4(a) has
   been made, (a) the Holder of a Security in respect of which such deposit
   was made is entitled to, and does, elect pursuant to Section 3.12(b) or
   the terms of such Security to receive payment in a currency or currency
   unit other than that in which the deposit pursuant to Section 14.4(a) has
   been made in respect of such Security, or (b) a Conversion Event occurs as
   contemplated in Section 3.12(d) or 3.12(e) or by the terms of any Security
   in respect of which the deposit pursuant to Section 14.4(a) has been made,
   the indebtedness represented by such Security and any coupons appertaining
   thereto shall be deemed to have been, and will be, fully discharged and
   satisfied through the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any)
   and interest, if any, on such Security as the same becomes due out of the
   proceeds yielded by converting (from time to time as specified below in
   the case of any such election) the amount or other property deposited in
   respect of such Security into the currency or currency unit in which such
   Security becomes payable as a result of such election or Conversion Event
   based on the applicable Market Exchange Rate for such currency or currency
   unit in effect on the second Business Day prior to each payment date,
   except, with respect to a Conversion Event, for such currency or currency
   unit in effect (as nearly as feasible) at the time of the Conversion
   Event.

             The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax,
   fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the Government
   Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 14.4 or the principal and
   interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other
   charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of such Outstanding
   Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto.

             Anything in this Article XIV to the contrary notwithstanding,
   the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon
   Company Request any money or Government Obligations (or other property and
   any proceeds therefrom) held by it as provided in Section 14.4 which, in
   the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public
   accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the
   Trustee, are in excess of the amount thereof which would then be required
   to be deposited to effect a defeasance or covenant defeasance, as
   applicable, in accordance with this Article XIV.

             IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this

                              OFFICERS' CERTIFICATE


             The undersigned, the Senior Vice President-Finance and Chief
   Financial Officer, and the Vice President, Secretary and General Counsel
   of Snap-on Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), hereby
   certify as provided below pursuant to Section 3.1 of the Indenture dated
   as of September 15, 1995 (the "Indenture") between the Company and Firstar
   Trust Company (the "Trustee").  This Officer's Certificate is delivered,
   pursuant to authority granted to the undersigned by resolutions adopted by
   the Board of Directors of the Company, for the purpose of creating and
   setting forth the terms of a series of Securities to be issued pursuant to
   the Indenture.  Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein are used as
   defined in the Indenture. 

           1.   The Board of Directors of the Company has authorized the
   creation by the Company of the series of Securities described below
   pursuant to this Officers' Certificate and in accordance with the
   Indenture; 

             2.   The title of the Securities shall be "6-5/8% Notes due
   October 1, 2005" (herein called the "Notes"); 

             3.   The aggregate principal amount of Notes which may be
   authenticated and delivered under the Indenture is limited to $100,000,000
   (except for Notes authenticated and delivered upon registration of
   transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, other Notes as pursuant to
   Section 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 9.6, 11.7 or 13.5 of the Indenture); 

             4.   The principal of the Notes shall be payable on October 1,
   2005; 

             5.   The Notes shall bear interest at the rate of 6-5/8% per
   annum; such interest shall accrue from October 3, 1995 (or from the most
   recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or provided
   for); the Interest Payment Dates on which such interest shall be payable
   shall be April 1 and October 1 in each year, commencing April 1, 1996; and
   the Regular Record Dates for the determination of Holders to whom interest
   is payable shall be the March 15 or September 15 next preceding each
   Interest Payment Date;

             6.   The principal of and interest on the Notes shall be payable
   at the Corporate Trust Office in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.  All payments of
   principal and interest in respect of Notes in book-entry form shall be
   payable in immediately available funds.

             7.   The Notes shall not be redeemable prior to maturity, shall
   not be subject to any sinking fund, and will not be redeemable at the
   option of a Holder.

             8.   Defeasance under Section 14.2 and covenant defeasance under
   Section 14.3 of the Indenture shall be applicable to the Notes. 

             9.   The Notes shall initially be issued in whole in the form of
   one or more global Securities.  The Depository Trust Company, a clearing
   agency registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
   shall serve as the Depositary for such global Security or Securities.  For
   so long as The Depository Trust Company shall be the Depositary, all Notes
   shall be registered in its name or in the name of a nominee thereof. 
   While the Notes are evidenced by one or more global Securities, the
   Depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, shall be the sole Holder
   thereof for all purposes under the Indenture.  Neither the Company nor the
   Trustee shall have any responsibility or the obligation to the
   Depositary's participants or the beneficial owners for whom they act with
   respect to their receipt from the Depositary of payments on the Notes or
   notices given under the Indenture.  The global Security or Securities
   provided for hereunder shall bear the legends provided for below and such
   other legend or legends as may be required by the Depositary.

             10.  The form of the Notes shall be substantially as follows: 

                    [FORM OF 6-5/8% NOTE DUE OCTOBER 1, 2005]

   CUSIP No. 833034 AA 9

             This Security is a Security in global form within the meaning of
   the Indenture hereinafter referred to and is registered in the name of a
   Depository or a nominee of a Depository or a successor Depository.  This
   Security is not exchangeable for Securities registered in the name of a
   person other than the Depository or its nominee except in the limited
   circumstances described in the Indenture and no transfer of this Security
   (other than a transfer of this Security as a whole by the Depository to a
   nominee of the Depository or by a nominee of the Depository to the De-
   pository or another nominee of the Depository or by the Depository or any
   such nominee to a successor Depository or a nominee of such successor De-
   pository) may be registered except in the limited circumstances described

   tive of the Depository Trust Company (55 Water Street, New York, New York)

   requested by an authorized representative of DTC, ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR
   OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL
   inasmuch as the registered owner hereof, Cede & Co., has an interest
   herein.

         Authorized Signatory


                         [Form of Reverse Side of Note]

                              SNAP-ON INCORPORATED
                         6-5/8% Note due October 1, 2005


             1.   Interest.  The Company promises to pay interest on the
   principal amount of this Security at the rate per annum set forth above. 
   The Company will pay interest semi-annually on April 1 and October 1 of
   each year.  Interest on this Security will accrue from the most recent
   date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid,
   from the date of issuance; provided that the first interest payment date
   shall be April 1, 1996.  The Company shall pay interest on overdue princi-
   pal at the rate borne by this Security and it shall pay interest on
   overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace
   periods) at the same rate to the extent lawful.   Interest will be comput-
   ed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

             2.   Method of Payment.  The Company will pay interest on the
   Securities  of this series (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who
   are registered holders of such Securities ("Holders") at the close of
   business on the Regular Record Dates.  The Regular Record Dates are March
   15 and September 15 of each year.  Holders of Securities must surrender
   them to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments.  The Company will
   pay principal and interest in money of the United States that at the time
   of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.  The
   Company, at its option, may pay principal and interest by check payable in
   such money or by wire transfer.  It may mail an interest check to a
   Holder's registered address or wire transfer interest payments to the
   account of a Holder indicated on the Security Register.  If a payment date
   is not a Business Day at a Place of Payment, payment may be made at that
   place on the next succeeding Business Day, and no interest on the amount
   payable on such payment date shall accrue for the intervening period.

             3.   Paying Agent and Registrar.  Initially, Firstar Trust
   Company, a Wisconsin state banking association (the "Trustee," which term
   shall include any successor trustee under the Indenture hereinafter re-
   ferred to), will act as Paying Agent and Registrar.  The Company may
   appoint and change any Paying Agent, Registrar or co-registrar without
   notice to any Holder.  The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act as
   Paying Agent, Registrar or co-registrar.

             4.   Indenture.  The Company issued the Securities of this
   series under an Indenture dated as of September 15, 1995,  (as it may be
   amended from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, the
   "Indenture") between the Company and the Trustee.  The terms of the
   Securities include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of
   the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S.
   Code Section Section  77aaa-77bbbb) as in effect on the date of the
   Indenture (the "Act").  The Securities are subject to all such terms, and
   Holders are referred to the Indenture and the Act for a statement of such
   terms. 

             5.   Redemption.  The Securities of this series may not be
   redeemed prior to Maturity.

             6.   Denominations, Transfer, Exchange.  The Securities of this
   series are in registered form, without coupons, in denominations of $1,000
   and in integral multiples of $1,000.  A Holder may transfer or exchange
   Securities as provided in the Indenture.  The Registrar may require a
   Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and
   transfer documents and to pay any taxes and fees required by law or
   permitted by the Indenture.

             7.   Persons Deemed Owners.  The registered Holder of a Security
   may be treated as its owner for all purposes.

             8.   Amendments and Waivers.  Subject to certain exceptions, the
   Indenture or the Securities of this series may be amended with the consent
   of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding
   Securities of such series, and any existing default with respect to any
   series (except a payment default) may be waived with the consent of the
   Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding
   Securities.  Without the consent of any Holder of this series, the Inden-
   ture or the Securities with respect to such series may be amended in
   certain circumstances as provided in the Indenture.

             9.   Defeasance.  The Indenture contains provisions that apply
   to the Securities of this series for defeasance at any time of (a) the
   entire indebtedness of the Company on the Securities of this series and
   (b) certain restrictive covenants and the related acceleration of payment
   provisions with respect to the Securities of this series, upon compliance
   by the Company with certain conditions set forth therein.

             10.  Restrictive Covenants.  The Indenture imposes certain
   limitations on the incurrence of Secured Debt by the Company or any of its
   Restricted Subsidiaries, the transfer of Principal Property by the Company
   or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries and Sale and Leaseback Transactions
   by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries. 

             11.  Defaults and Remedies.  Under the Indenture, Events of
   Default with respect to any series of the Securities include:  default in
   payment of any installment of interest on any Security of that series for
   30 days; default in payment of all or any part of the principal of (or
   premium, if any, on) any Security of that series; failure by the Company
   to comply with any of its other agreements in the Indenture or in the
   Securities (for 60 days after notice); certain defaults under and
   accelerations of other Indebtedness; certain final judgments which remain
   undischarged; and certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency.  If an Event
   of Default with respect to any series occurs and is continuing, the
   Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then
   outstanding Securities of that series may declare all the Securities of
   that series to be due and payable as provided in the Indenture, except
   that in the case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of
   bankruptcy or insolvency, all outstanding Securities become due and
   payable immediately without further action or notice.  Holders may not
   enforce the Indenture or the Securities except as provided in the Inden-
   ture.  The Trustee may require indemnity satisfactory to it before it
   enforces the Indenture or the Securities.   Subject to certain limita-
   tions, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding
   Securities may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. 
   The Trustee may withhold from Holders notice of any continuing default
   (except a default in payment of principal (or premium, if any), interest
   or any Additional Amounts) if it determines that withholding notice is in
   their interests.  The Company must furnish an annual compliance
   certificate to the Trustee.

             12.  Trustee Dealings with Company.  Subject to certain limi-
   tations imposed by the Act, the Trustee under the Indenture, in its
   individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Secu-
   rities, and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates, as if
   it were not Trustee.

             13.  No Recourse Against Others.  A director, officer, employee
   or stockholder, as such, of the Company shall not have any liability for
   any obligations of the Company under the Securities or the Indenture or
   for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or
   their creation.  Each Holder by accepting a Security waives and releases
   all such liability.  The waiver and release are part of the consideration
   for the issue of the Securities.

             14.  Authentication.  This Security shall not be valid until
   authenticated by the manual signature of an authorized signatory of the
