the Prospectus filed as part of the Registration Statement):
ARTICLE I

OF DEBT WARRANT CERTIFICATES
SECTION 1.01. Issuance of Debt Warrants. The designation
and particular terms of any Debt Warrant shall be as set forth
in the applicable Prospectus Supplement and in the Debt Warrant
Certificate relating thereto. Debt Warrants may be issued
separately or together with one or more Debt Securities of any
series and, if issued together with any such Debt Securities,
may be separately transferable after the date indicated in the
applicable Prospectus Supplement and in the Debt Warrant
Certificate relating thereto (such date the "Detachability
Date"). A Debt Warrant Certificate may evidence one or more
Debt Warrants. Each Debt Warrant evidenced by a a Debt Warrant
Certificate shall represent the right, subject to the
provisions contained herein and therein, to purchase one or
more Debt Securities of a designated series in such principal
amount as shall be designated therein.
SECTION 1.02. Execution and Delivery of Debt Warrant
Certificates. Debt Warrant Certificates may be issued in
global or definitive form, payable to the order of the bearer
or the registered holder thereof, in substantially the form set
forth in Annex A hereto. Each Debt Warrant Certificate will be
dated the date of its authentication by the Debt Warrant Agent
and may have such letters, numbers, or other marks of
identification or designation and such legends or endorsements
printed, lithographed, or engraved thereon as may be approved
by the officers of the Company executing the same (such
execution to be conclusive evidence of such approval) and as
are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, or
as may be required to comply with any law, rule, or regulation
applicable thereto, including any rule or regulation of any
stock exchange on which the Debt Warrants may be listed. The
Debt Warrant Certificates shall be signed on behalf of the

purpose, and no Debt Warrant evidenced thereby shall be
exercisable, until such Debt Warrant Certificate has been
countersigned by the manual signature of the Debt Warrant
Agent. Such signature by the Debt Warrant Agent upon any Debt
Warrant Certificate executed by the Company shall be conclusive
evidence that the Debt Warrant Certificate so countersigned has
been duly issued hereunder.
In case any officer of the Company who shall have signed
any of the Debt Warrant Certificates shall cease to be such
officer before the Debt Warrant Certificates so signed shall
have been countersigned and delivered by the Debt Warrant
Agent, such Debt Warrant Certificates may be countersigned and
delivered notwithstanding that the person who signed such Debt
Warrant Certificates ceased to be such officer of the Company;
and any Debt Warrant Certificate may be signed on behalf of the
Company by such persons as, at the actual date of the execution
of such Debt Warrant Certificate, shall be the proper officers
of the Company, although at the date of the execution of this
Agreement any such person was not such officer.
The terms "holder" or "holder of a Debt Warrant
Certificate" as used herein shall mean:
1. with respect to any Debt Warrant Certificate in
bearer form: (a) if the Debt Warrants represented thereby were
issued together with Debt Securities that are not immediately
detachable, the registered owner of the Debt Securities to
which such Debt Warrant Certificate was initially attached, and
(b) after the Detachability Date, the bearer of such Debt
Warrant Certificate;
2. with respect to any Debt Warrant Certificate in
registered form: (a) if the Debt Warrants represented thereby

attached, and (b) after the Detachability Date, the person in

upon the books to be maintained by the Debt Warrant Agent for
that purpose.

upon receipt of Debt Warrant Certificates duly executed on
behalf of the Company in accordance with the terms hereof,
countersign such Debt Warrant Certificates and deliver the same
to the holders thereof upon and in accordance with the order of
the Company. Subsequent to such original issuance of the Debt
Warrant Certificates, the Debt Warrant Agent shall countersign
a Debt Warrant Certificate only if such Debt Warrant
Certificate is issued in exchange or substitution for one or
more previously countersigned Debt Warrant Certificates or,
with respect to Debt Warrant Certificates in registered form,
in connection with the transfer thereof, as provided in Section

applicable Debt Warrant is exercised. The Debt Warrant Agent
shall deposit all funds received by it in payment of the
Exercise Price in an account of the Company maintained with it
and shall advise the Company by telephone or by facsimile

of such tax or governmental charge or shall have established to
the satisfaction of the Company that such tax or other
governmental charge has been paid or that no such tax or other
governmental charge is payable.
ARTICLE III
OTHER PROVISIONS RELATING TO RIGHTS OF HOLDERS
OF DEBT WARRANT CERTIFICATES
SECTION 3.01. No Rights as a Holder of Debt Securities
Conferred by Debt Warrants or Debt Warrant Certificates. No
Debt Warrant Certificate or Debt Warrant evidenced thereby
shall entitle the holder thereof to any of the rights of a
holder of Debt Securities, including, without limitation, the
right to receive payments of principal, premium, if any, or
interest, if any, on the Debt Securities to which such Debt
Warrant or Debt Warrant Certificate relates, or to enforce any
of the covenants in the Indenture with respect to such Debt
Securities.
SECTION 3.02. Lost, Stolen, Mutilated, or Destroyed Debt
Warrant Certificates. Upon receipt by the Debt Warrant Agent
of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the ownership and
loss, theft, destruction, or mutilation of any Debt Warrant
Certificate and of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the
Debt Warrant Agent and, in the case of mutilation, upon
surrender of such Debt Warrant Certificate to the Debt Warrant
Agent for cancellation, in the absence of notice to the Company
and the Debt Warrant Agent that such Debt Warrant Certificate
has been transferred or acquired, and subject to the provisions
of Section 3.03 below, such Debt Warrant Certificate shall be
replaced by a new Debt Warrant Certificate reflecting the
identical terms of such lost, stolen, destroyed, or mutilated
Debt Warrant Certificate.
SECTION 3.03. Transfer, Exchange or Replacement of Debt
Warrants and Debt Warrant Certificates. Any Debt Warrant
Certificate attached to one or more Debt Securities will be
transferred, exchanged, or replaced only together with the Debt
Security or Debt Securities to which such Debt Warrant
Certificate is attached, and only for the purpose of affecting,
or in conjunction with, a transfer, exchange, or replacement of
such Debt Security or Debt Securities. Prior to the
Detachability Date, each transfer, exchange, or replacement of
an attached Debt Security by the Trustee shall operate also to
transfer the related Debt Warrants. After the Detachability
Date, each transfer of an attached Debt Security shall be made
only upon surrender, at the corporate trust office of the Debt
Warrant Agent, of the Debt Warrant Certificates evidencing the
related Debt Warrants and of such appropriate instruments of
registration or transfer and of such written transfer
instructions as shall be in form and substance satisfactory to
the Company and the Debt Warrant Agent. Debt Warrant
Certificates may be transferred or exchanged, after the
Detachability Date, for Debt Warrant Certificates in other
denominations evidencing the related Debt Warrants, provided
that such other Debt Warrant Certificates evidence the same
number of Debt Warrants as the Debt Warrant Certificates so
surrendered. The Debt Warrant Agent shall keep, at its
corporate trust office, books in which it shall register Debt
Warrant Certificates and all exchanges and transfers of
outstanding Debt Warrant Certificates. No service charge shall
be made for any exchange [or registration of transfer] of Debt
Warrant Certificates, but the Company may require payment of a
sum sufficient to cover any stamp or other tax or other
governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any
such exchange [or registration of transfer]. Whenever any Debt
Warrant Certificates are so surrendered for exchange [or
registration of transfer], an authorized officer of the Debt
Warrant Agent shall manually countersign and deliver to the
person or persons entitled thereto a Debt Warrant Certificate
or Debt Warrant Certificates duly authorized and executed by
the Company, as so requested. The Debt Warrant Agent shall not
be required to effect any exchange [or registration of
transfer] which will result in the issuance of a Debt Warrant
Certificate evidencing a fraction of a Debt Warrant. All Debt
Warrant Certificates issued upon any exchange [or registration
of transfer] of Debt Warrant Certificates shall be valid
obligations of the Company, evidencing the same obligations and
entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement as the Debt
Warrant Certificates surrendered for such exchange [or
registration of transfer].
SECTION 3.04. Treatment of Holders of Debt Warrant
Certificates. Debt Warrants issued in bearer form shall be
transferable by delivery and shall be deemed negotiable by the
bearer of the related Debt Warrant Certificate, which bearer
may be treated by the Company, the Debt Warrant Agent, and all
other persons dealing with such bearer as the absolute owner
thereof for all purposes and as the person entitled to exercise
the rights represented by the Debt Warrants evidenced thereby,
any notice to the contrary notwithstanding. Debt Warrants
issued in registered form shall be transferable only on the
books of the Debt Warrant Agent and in accordance with the
applicable terms and conditions hereof, and every holder of
such a Debt Warrant Certificate, by accepting the same,
consents and agrees with the Company, the Debt Warrant Agent,
and with every subsequent holder of such Debt Warrant
Certificate that until the transfer of the Debt Warrant
Certificate is registered on the books of the Debt Warrant
Agent (or, prior to the Detachability Date, on the register
maintained by the registrar of the related Debt Securities),
the Company and the Debt Warrant Agent (or the registrar of the
related Debt Securities, as the case may be), may treat such
registered holder as the absolute owner thereof for all
purposes and as the person entitled to exercise the rights
represented by the Debt Warrants evidenced thereby, any notice
to the contrary notwithstanding.
SECTION 3.05. Cancellation of Debt Warrant Certificates.
Any Debt Warrant Certificate surrendered for exchange or
registration of transfer, or for exercise of the Debt Warrants
evidenced thereby, shall be delivered to the Debt Warrant
Agent, and all Debt Warrant Certificates so surrendered or
delivered to the Debt Warrant Agent shall be promptly canceled
by the Debt Warrant Agent and shall not be reissued and, except
as expressly provided otherwise by this Agreement, no Debt
Warrant Certificate shall be issued in exchange or in lieu
thereof. The Debt Warrant Agent shall destroy all canceled
Debt Warrant Certificates and deliver a certificate of such
destruction to the Company.
