thereof, the Company covenants and agrees with the Trustee as follows:
ARTICLE I
General Terms and Conditions of
the Series % Debentures
SECTION 1.01. There shall be and is hereby authorized a series
of Debentures designated the " % Junior Subordinated Debentures Due 20[ ]",
limited in aggregate principal amount to $ (except as provided in this Section
1.01 and Section 6.01). Upon exercise of the overallotment option set forth in
the Underwriting Agreement (as defined in the Declaration of Trust), additional
Series % Debentures in the aggregate principal amount of up to $ may be
executed by the Company and delivered to the Trustee for authentication, and the
Trustee shall thereupon authenticate and deliver said Series % Debentures to
or upon the written order of the Company, which order shall be accompanied by
evidence satisfactory to the Trustee that the overallotment option has been
exercised. The Series % Debentures shall mature and the principal thereof
shall be due and payable, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon,
including Compounded Interest (as defined below) on , 20[ ].
SECTION 1.02. (a) Except as provided in Section 1.02(b), the
Series % Debentures shall be issued in definitive registered certificated form
without interest coupons. Principal and interest on the Series % Debentures
issued in certificated form will be payable, the transfer of such Series %
Debentures will be registrable and such Series % Debentures will be exchangeable
for Series % Debentures bearing identical terms and provisions at the office
or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City and State of New
York; provided, however, that payment of interest may be made at the option of
the Company by check mailed to the registered holder at such address as shall
appear in the Debenture register and that the payment of principal with respect
to the Series % Debentures will only be made upon surrender of the Series %
Debentures to the Trustee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as the
Property
5
4
Trustee is the record holder of Series % Debentures, the payment of the
principal of, and interest (including Compounded Interest, if any) on, the
Series % Debentures held of record by the Property Trustee will be made by the
Company in immediately available funds on the payment date therefor to the
Property Account (as defined in the Declaration of Trust) established and
maintained by the Property Trustee pursuant to the Declaration of Trust.
(b) In connection with a Dissolution Event:
(i) Series % Debentures in certificated form in an aggregate
principal amount equal to the aggregate liquidation amount of all
Preferred Securities held in book-entry form may be presented to the
Trustee by the Property Trustee in exchange for a Global Debenture
representing such Series % Debentures, such Global Debenture to be
registered in the name of the Depositary, or its nominee, and delivered
by the Trustee to the Depositary pursuant to the instructions of the
Regular Trustees (as defined in the Declaration of Trust) for crediting
to the accounts of the Depositary's participants. The Company, upon any
such presentation, shall execute a Global Debenture representing the
Series % Debentures in such aggregate principal amount and deliver
the same to the Trustee for authentication and delivery in accordance
with the Indenture and this [ ] Supplemental Indenture. Payments on the
Series % Debentures issued as a Global Debenture will be made to the
Depositary.
(ii) If any Preferred Securities are held in non book-entry
certificated form ("Non Book-Entry Preferred Securities"), Series %
Debentures in certificated form in an aggregate principal amount equal
to the aggregate liquidation amount of any such Non Book-Entry
Preferred Securities may be presented to the Trustee by the Property
Trustee, and any Preferred Security Certificate (as defined in the
Declaration of Trust) held in non book-entry certificated form will be
deemed to represent beneficial interests in such Series % Debentures
presented to the Trustee by the Property Trustee having an aggregate
principal amount equal to the aggregate liquidation amount of the Non
Book-Entry Preferred Securities represented by such Preferred Security
Certificate until such Preferred Security Certificate is presented to
the Debenture Registrar for
6
5
registration of transfer or reissuance, at which time such Preferred
Security Certificate will be canceled and a Series % Debenture,
registered in the name of the holder of the Preferred Security
Certificate or the transferee of the holder of such Preferred Security
Certificate, as the case may be, with an aggregate principal amount
equal to the aggregate liquidation amount of the Preferred Security
Certificate canceled will be executed by the Company and delivered to
the Trustee for authentication and delivery in accordance with the
Indenture and this [ ] Supplemental Indenture. On issue of such Series
% Debentures, Series % Debentures with an equivalent aggregate
principal amount that were presented by the Property Trustee to the
Trustee will be deemed to have been canceled.
SECTION 1.03. Each Series % Debenture will bear interest
at the rate of % per annum from , 199 until the principal thereof
becomes due and payable, and on any overdue principal, and (to the extent that
payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law) on any overdue
installment of interest at the same rate per annum, compounded monthly, payable
(subject to the provisions of Article III) monthly in arrears on the first day
of each month (each, an "Interest Payment Date", commencing on , 199 ), to the
Person in whose name such Series % Debenture (or one or more Predecessor
Debentures) is registered at the close of business on the regular record date
for such interest installment, which, except as set forth below, shall be, in
respect of any Series % Debentures represented by a Global Debenture or of
which the Property Trustee is the registered holder, the close of business on
the Business Day next preceding the Interest Payment Date with respect to such
interest installment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if the Preferred
Securities are no longer in book-entry only form or if, pursuant to the
provisions of Section 2.11(c) of the Indenture, the Series % Debentures are no
longer represented solely by a Global Debenture, the regular record date for
such interest installment shall be the close of business on the fifteenth day of
the month immediately preceding the month in which the Interest Payment Date
with respect to such interest installment occurs. Any installment of interest
not punctually paid or duly provided for shall forthwith cease to be payable to
the registered holder of a Series % Debenture on such regular record date and
may be paid to the Person in whose name such
7
6
Series % Debenture (or one or more Predecessor Debentures) is registered at the
close of business on a special record date to be fixed by the Trustee for the
payment of such defaulted interest, notice whereof to be given to the registered
holders of the Series % Debentures not less than 10 days prior to such special
record date, or may be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not
inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the
Series % Debentures may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by
such exchange, all as more fully provided in the Indenture.
The amount of interest payable for any period will be computed
on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months and for any period
shorter than a 30-day monthly interest period for which interest is computed,
the amount of interest payable will be computed on the basis of the actual
number of days elapsed. In the event that any date on which interest is payable
on the Series % Debentures is not a Business Day, then payment of interest
payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day which is a Business
Day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of any such delay),
except that, if such Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar year, such
payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day, in each case
with the same force and effect as if made on such date.
ARTICLE II
Optional Redemption of the Series
% Debentures
SECTION 2.01. Except as provided in Section 2.02, Series %
Debentures may not be redeemed by the Company prior to , 200 . Subject to the
terms of Article III of the Indenture, the Company shall have the right to
redeem the Series % Debentures, in whole or in part, at any time or from time
to time, on or after , 200 , at a redemption price equal to 100% of
the principal amount to be redeemed plus any accrued and unpaid interest
thereon, including Compounded Interest, if any, to the date of such redemption
(the "Optional Redemption Price"). Any redemption pursuant to this Section will
be made upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' notice.

SECTION 2.02. If, at any time, a Tax Event (as defined below)
shall occur or be continuing and (i) the Regular Trustees and the Company shall
have received an opinion (a "Redemption Tax Opinion") of nationally recognized
independent tax counsel experienced in such matters that, as a result of such
Tax Event, there is more than an insubstantial risk that the Company would be
precluded from deducting the interest on the Series % Debentures for United
States Federal income tax purposes even if the Series % Debentures were
distributed to the holders of Preferred Securities and Common Securities in
liquidation of such holders' interest in the Trust as set forth in the
Declaration of Trust or (ii) the Regular Trustees shall have been informed by
such tax counsel that a No Recognition Opinion (as defined below) cannot be
delivered to the Trust, the Company shall have the right, upon not less than 30
or more than 60 days notice, to redeem the Series % Debentures in whole or in
part for cash at the Optional Redemption Price within 90 days following the
occurrence of such Tax Event; provided, however, that, if at the time there is
available to the Company or the Regular Trustees, on behalf of the Trust, the
opportunity to eliminate, within such 90-day period, such Tax Event by taking
some ministerial action ("Ministerial Action"), such as filing a form or making
an election, or pursuing some other similar reasonable measure that has no
adverse effect on the Trust, the Company or the holders of the Preferred
Securities, then the Company or the Regular Trustees, on behalf of the Trust,
will pursue such measure in lieu of redemption; and provided further that the
Company shall have no right to redeem the Series % Debentures while the Regular
Trustees, on behalf of the Trust, are pursuing any such Ministerial Action.
"Tax Event" means that the Regular Trustees and the Company
shall have obtained an opinion of nationally recognized independent tax counsel
experienced in such matters (a "Dissolution Tax Opinion") to the effect that on
or after , 199 as a result of (a) any amendment to, or change (including any
announced prospective change) in, the laws (or any regulations thereunder) of
the United States or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or
therein, (b) any amendment to, or change in, an interpretation or application of
any such laws or regulations by any legislative body, court, governmental agency
or regulatory authority (including the enactment of any legislation and the
publication of any judicial decision or regulatory determination), (c) any
interpretation or
9
8
pronouncement that provides for a position with respect to such laws or
regulations that differs from the theretofore generally accepted position or (d)
any action taken by any governmental agency or regulatory authority, which
amendment or change is enacted, promulgated, issued or effective or which
interpretation or pronouncement is issued or announced or which action is taken,
in each case on or after , 199 , there is more than an insubstantial risk that
(i) the Trust, is, or will be within 90 days of the date thereof, subject to
United States Federal income tax with respect to income accrued or received on
the Series % Debentures, (ii) the Trust is, or will be within 90 days of the
date thereof, subject to more than a de minimis amount of other taxes, duties or
other governmental charges or (iii) interest payable by the Company to the Trust
on the Series % Debentures is not, or within 90 days of the date thereof will
not be, deductible by the Company for United States Federal income tax purposes.
"No Recognition Opinion" means an opinion of nationally
recognized independent tax counsel experienced in such matters, which opinion
may rely on any then applicable published revenue rulings of the Internal
Revenue Service, to the effect that the holders of the Preferred Securities will
not recognize any gain or loss for United States Federal income tax purposes as
a result of a dissolution of the Trust and distribution of the Series %
Debentures as provided in the Declaration of Trust.
SECTION 2.03. If the Series % Debentures are only partially
redeemed pursuant to this Article II, the Series % Debentures will be redeemed
pro rata or by lot or by any other equitable method chosen by the Trustee;
provided that if, at the time of redemption, any Series % Debentures are
represented by a Global Debenture, the Depositary shall determine by lot the
principal amount of such Series % Debentures held by each Debentureholder to
be redeemed in accordance with its customary procedures. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if a partial redemption of the Series % Debentures would result in
the delisting of the Preferred Securities by any national securities exchange on
which the Preferred Securities are then listed, the Company shall not be
permitted to effect such partial redemption and will only redeem the Series %
Debentures in whole.

ARTICLE III
Extension of Interest Payment Period
SECTION 3.01. So long as the Company is not in default in the
payment of interest on the Series % Debentures, the Company shall have the
right, at any time during the term of the Series % Debentures, from time to
time to extend the interest payment period of the Series % Debentures for a
period not exceeding 60 consecutive monthly interest periods (an "Extended
Interest Payment Period"); provided, however, that at the end of any such
period the Company shall pay all interest accrued and unpaid thereon (together
with interest on such accrued and unpaid interest at the rate of % per annum,
to the extent permitted by applicable law, compounded monthly ("Compounded
Interest")); and provided, further that an Extended Interest Payment Period may
not extend beyond the maturity of the Series [ ]% Debentures. During any
Extended Interest Payment Period, the Company shall not declare or pay any
dividends on, or redeem, purchase, acquire or make a distribution or liquidation
payment with respect to, any of its common stock or preferred stock or make any
payments on guarantees with respect thereto; provided, however, that the
foregoing restrictions shall not apply to (i) dividends, redemptions, purchases,
acquisitions, distributions or payments made by the Company by way of issuance
of shares of its capital stock, (ii) payments of accrued dividends by the
Company upon the redemption, exchange or conversion of any preferred stock of

of such preferred stock or (iii) cash payments made by the Company in lieu of

preferred stock of the Company as may be outstanding from time to time in
accordance with the terms of such preferred stock. Prior to the termination of
any Extended Interest Payment Period, the Company may pay all or any portion of
the interest accrued on the Series % Debentures on any Interest Payment Date
to holders of record on the regular record date for such Interest Payment Date
or from time to time further extend such Extended Interest Payment Period;
provided that such Extended Interest Payment Period together with all such
previous and further extensions thereof may not exceed 60 consecutive monthly
interest periods. Upon the termination of any Extended Interest Payment Period
and upon the payment of all accrued and unpaid interest then due, together with
Compounded Interest, the Company may select a new Extended
11
10
Interest Payment Period. No interest shall be due and payable during an Extended
Interest Payment Period, except at the end thereof. At the end of any Extended
Interest Payment Period, the Company shall pay all interest accrued and unpaid
on the Series % Debentures, including any Compounded Interest, to the holders in
whose names the Series % Debentures are registered on the Debenture register on
the regular record date for the first Interest Payment Date occurring at or
after the end of the Extended Interest Payment Period.
SECTION 3.02. (a) So long as the Property Trustee is the sole
record holder of the Series % Debentures, at the time the Company selects an
Extended Interest Payment Period, the Company shall give both the Property
Trustee and the Trustee written notice of its selection of such Extended
Interest Payment Period at least one Business Day prior to the earlier of (i)
the next succeeding date on which distributions on the Preferred Securities are
payable and (ii) the date on which the Trust is required to give notice of the
record or payment date for such distribution to the New York Stock Exchange (if
the Preferred Securities are then listed thereon) or other applicable
self-regulatory organization or to holders of the Preferred Securities, but in
any event not less than one Business Day prior to such record date. The Company
shall cause the Trust to give notice to the holders of the Preferred Securities
of the Company's selection of such Extended Interest Payment Period.
(b) If as a result of a Dissolution Event, Series % Debentures
have been distributed to holders of Preferred Securities and Common Securities,
at the time the Company selects an Extended Interest Payment Period, the Company
shall give the holders of the Series % Debentures and the Trustee written notice
of its selection of such Extended Interest Payment Period at least 10 Business
Days prior to the earlier of (i) the next succeeding Interest Payment Date or
(ii) the date the Company is required to give notice of the record or payment
date for such interest payment to the New York Stock Exchange (if the Series %
Debentures are then listed thereon) or other applicable self-regulatory
organization or to holders of the Series % Debentures.
SECTION 3.03. The month in which any notice is given pursuant
to Section 3.02 shall be counted as one of the 60 consecutive monthly interest
periods permitted in the
12
11
maximum Extended Interest Payment Period permitted underthis Article III.
ARTICLE IV
Covenants Applicable to Series % Debentures
SECTION 4.01. So long as any Preferred Securities remain
outstanding, the Company will not declare or pay any dividends on, or redeem,
purchase, acquire or make a distribution or liquidation payment with respect to,

with respect thereto if at such time (i) the Company shall be in default with
respect to its Guarantee Payments (as defined in the Guarantee Agreement) or
other payment obligations under the Guarantee Agreement or (ii) there shall have
occurred any Event of Default under the Indenture with respect to the Series %

(ii) payments of accrued dividends by the Company upon the redemption, exchange
or conversion of any preferred stock of the Company as may be outstanding from

redemption, exchange or conversion of any preferred stock of the Company as may
be outstanding from time to time in accordance with the terms of such preferred
stock.
SECTION 4.02. In connection with the distribution of the
Series % Debentures to the holders of the Preferred Securities upon a
Dissolution Event, the Company will use its best efforts to list such Series %
Debentures on the New York Stock Exchange or on such other exchange as the
Preferred Securities are then listed.

of the holders of the Preferred Securities to comply fully with all its
obligations and agreements under the Declaration of Trust, including, without
limitation, its obligations under Article IV thereof.

holders of the Preferred Securities (i) to remain the sole direct or indirect
owner of all Common Securities issued by the Trust and not to cause or permit
the Common Securities to be transferred except to the extent permitted by the
Declaration of Trust; provided that any permitted successor of the Company under
the Indenture may succeed to the Company's ownership of such Common Securities
and (ii) to use reasonable efforts to cause the Trust to continue to be treated
as a grantor trust for United States Federal income tax purposes, except in

(FORM OF REVERSE OF DEBENTURE)
This Debenture is one of a duly authorized series of
Debentures of the Company (herein sometimes referred to as the "Debentures"),
all issued or to be issued in one or more series under and pursuant to an
Indenture dated as of November , 1996 duly executed and delivered between the
Company and The Chase Manhattan Bank, a New York banking corporation, as Trustee
(herein referred to as the "Trustee"), as supplemented by the [ ] Supplemental
Indenture dated as of , 199 between the Company and the Trustee (said Indenture
as so supplemented being hereinafter referred to as the "Indenture"), to which
Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a
description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and
immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the Company and the holders of the
Debentures, and, to the extent specifically set forth in the Indenture, the
holders of Senior Indebtedness and Preferred Securities. By the terms of the
Indenture, the Debentures are issuable in series which may vary as to amount,
date of maturity, rate of interest and in other respects as in the Indenture
provided. This series of Debentures is designated the % Junior Subordinated
Debentures due 20 (the "Series %
18
17
Debentures") and is limited in aggregate principal amount as specified in said
[ ] Supplemental Indenture.
Except as provided in the next paragraph, the Series %
Debentures may not be redeemed by the Company prior to , 20 .
The Company shall have the right to redeem the Series % Debentures, in whole
or in part, at any time or from time to time on or after , 20
(an "Optional Redemption"), at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal
amount to be redeemed plus any accrued and unpaid interest, including any
Compounded Interest, thereon to the date of such redemption. Any redemption
pursuant to this paragraph will be made upon not less than 30 nor more 60 days
notice. If the Debentures are only partially redeemed by the Company pursuant to
an Optional Redemption, the Series % Debentures will be redeemed pro rata or by
lot or by any other equitable method chosen by the Trustee; provided that if, at
the time of redemption, any Series % Debentures are represented by a Global
Debenture, the Depository shall determine the principal amount of such Series
% Debentures held by each holder of Series % Debentures to be redeemed in
accordance with its customary procedures.
If, at any time, a Tax Event (as defined below) shall occur or
be continuing and (i) the Regular Trustees and the Company shall have received
an opinion (a "Redemption Tax Opinion") of nationally recognized independent tax
counsel experienced in such matters that, as a result of such Tax Event, there
is more than an insubstantial risk that the Company would be precluded from
deducting the interest on the Series % Debentures for United States Federal
income tax purposes even if the Series
% Debentures were distributed to the holders of Preferred Securities and
Common Securities in liquidation of such holders' interest in the Trust as set
forth in the Declaration of Trust or (ii) the Regular Trustees shall have been
informed by such tax counsel that a No Recognition Opinion (as defined below)
cannot be delivered to the Trust, the Company shall have the right, upon not
less than 30 nor more than 60 days notice, to redeem the Series % Debentures in
whole or in part for cash at the Optional Redemption Price within 90 days
following the occurrence of such Tax Event; provided, however, that, if at the
time there is available to the Company or the Regular Trustees, on behalf of the
Trust, the opportunity to eliminate, within such 90-day period, the Tax Event by
taking some ministerial action ("Ministerial Action"), such as filing a form or
19
18
making an election, or pursuing some other similar reasonable measure, which has
no adverse effect on the Trust, the Company or the holders of the Preferred
Securities, the Company or the Regular Trustees, on behalf of the Trust, will
pursue such measure in lieu of redemption; and provided further that the Company
shall have no right to redeem the Series % Debentures while the Regular
Trustees, on behalf of the Trust, are pursuing any such Ministerial Action.
"Tax Event" means that the Regular Trustees and the Company
shall have obtained an opinion of nationally recognized independent tax counsel
experienced in such matters (a "Dissolution Tax Opinion") to the effect that on
or after , 199 , as a result of (a) any amendment to, or change (or
announced prospective change) in, the laws (or any regulations thereunder) of
the United States or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or
therein, (b) any amendment to, or change in, an interpretation or application of
any such laws or regulations by any legislative body, court, governmental agency
or regulatory authority (including the enactment of any legislation and the
publication of any judicial decision or regulatory determination), (c) any
interpretation or pronouncement that provides for a position with respect to
such laws or regulations that differs from the theretofore generally accepted
position or (d) any action taken by any governmental agency or regulatory
authority, which amendment or change is enacted, promulgated, issued or
effective or which interpretation or pronouncement is issued or announced or
which action is taken, in each case on or after , 199 , there
is more than an insubstantial risk that (i) the Trust is, or will be within 90
days of the date thereof, subject to United States Federal income tax with
respect to income accrued or received on the Series % Debentures, (ii) the
Trust is, or will be within 90 days of the date thereof, subject to more than a
de minimis amount of other taxes, duties or other governmental charges or (iii)
interest payable by the Company to the Trust on the Series % Debentures is
not, or within 90 days of the date thereof will not be, deductible by the
Company for United States Federal income tax purposes.
"No Recognition Opinion" means an opinion of nationally
recognized independent tax counsel experienced in such matters, which opinion
may rely on any then applicable published revenue rulings of the Internal
Revenue Service, to the effect that the holders of the Preferred Securities
20
19
will not recognize any gain or loss for United States Federal income tax
purposes as a result of a dissolution of the Trust and distribution of the
Series % Debentures as provided in the Declaration of Trust.
If the Debentures are only partially redeemed by the Company
pursuant to an Optional Redemption or as a result of a Tax Event as described
above, the Debentures will be redeemed pro rata or by lot or by any other
equitable method chosen by the Trustee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a
partial redemption of the Series % Debentures would result in the delisting of
the Preferred Securities by any national securities exchange on which the
Preferred Securities are then listed, the Company shall not be permitted to
effect such partial redemption and will only redeem the Series % Debentures in
whole.
In the event of redemption of this Debenture in part only, a
new Series % Debenture or Debentures will be issued for the unredeemed portion
hereof in the name of the holder hereof upon the cancelation of this Debenture.
In case an Event of Default, as defined in the Indenture,
shall have occurred and be continuing, the principal of all of the Series %
Debentures may be declared, and upon such declaration shall become, due and
payable, in the manner, with the effect and subject to the conditions provided
in the Indenture.
The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time
of the entire indebtedness of the Series % Debentures upon compliance by the
Company with certain conditions set forth therein.
The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Company and
the Trustee, with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the Debentures of each series affected at the time
outstanding, as defined in Section 8.04 of the Indenture, (and, in the case of
any series of Debentures held as trust assets of a PWG Capital Trust and with
respect to which a Security Exchange has not theretofore occurred, such consent
of holders of the Preferred Securities and the Common Securities of such PWG
Capital Trust as may be required under the Declaration of Trust of such PWG
Capital Trust), to execute supplemental indentures for the purpose of adding any
provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of
the Indenture or of any
21
20
supplemental indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the holders
of any series of Debentures; provided, however, that no such supplemental
indenture shall (i) extend the fixed maturity of any Debentures of any series,
or reduce the principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of
payment of interest thereon, or reduce any premium payable upon the redemption
thereof, without the consent of the holder of each Debenture so affected or (ii)
reduce the aforesaid percentage of Debentures, the holders of which are required
to consent to any such supplemental indenture, without the consent of the
holders of each Debenture (and, in the case of any series of Debentures held as
trust assets of a PWG Capital Trust and with respect to which a Security
Exchange has not theretofore occurred, such consent of the holders of the
Preferred Securities and the Common Securities of such PWG Capital Trust as may
be required under the Declaration of Trust of such PWG Capital Trust) then
outstanding and affected thereby. The Indenture also contains provisions
permitting the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Debentures of a series at the time outstanding affected thereby (subject, in the
case of any series of Debentures held as trust assets of a PWG Capital Trust and
with respect to which a Securities Exchange has not theretofore occurred, to
such consent of holders of Preferred Securities and Common Securities of such
PWG Capital Trust as may be required under the Declaration of Trust of such PWG
Capital Trust), on behalf of the holders of the Debentures of such series, to
waive any past default in the performance of any of the covenants contained in
the Indenture, or established pursuant to the Indenture with respect to such
series and its consequences, except a default in the payment of the principal
of, or premium, if any, or interest on, any of the Debentures of such series.
Any such consent or waiver by the registered holder of this Debenture (unless
revoked as provided in the Indenture) shall be conclusive and binding upon such
holder and upon all future holders and owners of this Debenture and of any
Debenture issued in exchange herefor or in place hereof (whether by registration
of transfer or otherwise), irrespective of whether or not any notation of such
consent or waiver is made upon this Debenture.
Subject to Section 13.11 of the Indenture, no reference herein
to the Indenture (other than such Section) and no provision of this Debenture or
of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is
absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and
22
21
premium, if any, and interest on this Debenture at the time and place, at the
rate and in the money herein prescribed.
So long as the Company is not in default in the payment of
interest on the Series % Debentures, the Company shall have the right, at any
time during the term of the Series % Debentures, from time to time to extend the
interest payment period of the Series % Debentures for a period not exceeding 60
consecutive monthly interest periods (an "Extended Interest Payment Period");
provided, however, that at the end of any such period the Company shall pay all
interest accrued and unpaid thereon, together with any Compounded Interest; and
provided, further that an Extended Interest Payment Period may not extend the
maturity of the Series % Debentures. During any Extended Interest Payment
Period, the Company shall not declare or pay any dividends on, or redeem,
purchase, acquire or make a distribution or liquidation payment with respect to,
any of its common stock or preferred stock, or make any payments on guarantees
with respect thereto; provided, however, that the foregoing restrictions shall
not apply to (i) dividends, redemptions, purchases, acquisitions, distributions
or payments made by the Company by way of issuance of shares of its capital
stock, (ii) payments of accrued dividends by the Company upon the redemption,
exchange or conversion of any preferred stock of the Company as may be
outstanding from time to time in accordance with the terms of such preferred
stock or (iii) cash payments made by the Company in lieu of delivering
fractional shares upon the redemption, exchange or conversion of any preferred
stock of the Company as may be outstanding from time to time in accordance with
the terms of such preferred stock. Prior to the termination of any Extended
Interest Payment Period, the Company may pay all or any portion of the interest
accrued on the Series % Debentures on any Interest Payment Date to holders of
record on the regular record date for such Interest Payment Date or from time to
time further extend such Extended Interest Payment Period; provided that such
Extended Interest Payment Period together with all such previous and further
extensions thereof may not exceed 60 consecutive monthly interest periods. Upon
the termination of any Extended Interest Payment Period and upon the payment of
all accrued and unpaid interest then due, together with Compounded Interest, the
Company may select a new Extended Interest Payment Period. No interest shall be
due and payable during an Extended Interest Payment Period, except at the end
thereof. At the end of any Extended Interest Payment Period, the Company shall
pay all interest
23
22
accrued and unpaid on the Series % Debentures, including any Compounded
Interest which shall be payable to the holders in whose names the Series %
Debentures are registered on the Debenture Register on the regular record date
for the first Interest Payment Date occurring on or after the end of the
Extended Interest Payment Period.

limitations therein set forth, this Debenture is transferable by the registered
holder hereof on the Debenture Register of the Company, upon surrender of this
Debenture for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company

but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or
other governmental charge payable in relation thereto.
Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of this
Debenture, the Company, the Trustee, any paying agent and any Debenture
Registrar may deem and treat the registered holder hereof as the absolute owner

Registrar) for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the
principal hereof and interest due hereon and for all other purposes, and neither
the Company nor the Trustee nor any paying agent nor any Debenture Registrar
shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

or hereon, or otherwise in respect thereof or hereof shall be had against any
incorporator, stockholder, officer or director, past, present or future, as
