RECITALS OF THE COMPANY
The Company has heretofore executed and delivered to the Trustee an

of indebtedness (herein and therein called the "Securities"), to be issued in
one or more series as provided in the Indenture.
Section 901 of the Indenture provides, among other things, that the
Company, when authorized by a Board Resolution, and the Trustee, at any time and
from time to time, without the consent of any Holders, may enter into an
indenture supplemental to the Indenture (a) to add to the covenants of the
Company for the benefit of the Holders of all or any series of Securities (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 (b) to add to, change or eliminate any of the provisions of
the Indenture in respect of one or more series of Securities, provided that any
such addition, change or elimination (A) shall neither (i) apply to any Security
of any series created prior to the execution of such supplemental indenture and
entitled to the benefit of such provision nor (ii) modify the rights of the
Holder of any such Security with respect to such provision or (B) shall become
effective only when there is no such Security Outstanding.
The Company desires and has requested the Trustee to join with it in
the execution and delivery of this First Supplemental Indenture for the purpose
of amending the Indenture in certain respects with respect to the Securities of
any series which are provided to be entitled to the benefit of such amendments
pursuant to Section 301 created on or after the date hereof.
The amendments contained in this First Supplemental Indenture shall
only apply to series of Securities issued after the date hereof which are
provided
to be entitled to the benefit of such amendments pursuant to Section 301.
The Company represents that all things necessary to make this First
Supplemental Indenture a valid agreement of the Company, in accordance with its
terms, have been done.
