                            J.P. MORGAN CHASE & CO.

General

     On December 31, 2000, we merged with J.P. Morgan & Co. Incorporated. Upon

                CONSOLIDATED RATIOS OF EARNINGS TO FIXED CHARGES


                                              Year ended December 31,
                                        ------------------------------------
                                        2000    1999    1998    1997    1996

Excluding Interest on Deposits........  1.52    1.93    1.46    1.53    1.50
Including Interest on Deposits........  1.31    1.54    1.29    1.33    1.29


     For purposes of computing the above ratios, earnings represent net income
from continuing operations plus total taxes based on income and fixed charges.
Fixed charges, excluding interest on deposits, include interest expense (other
than on deposits), one-third (the proportion deemed representative of the
interest factor) of rents, net of income from subleases, and capitalized
interest. Fixed charges, including interest on deposits, include all interest
expense, one-third (the proportion deemed representative of the interest
factor) of rents, net of income from subleases, and capitalized interest.


     The above ratios reflect the combined results of The Chase Manhattan
Corporation and J.P. Morgan & Co. Incorporated as if the merger had been in
effect for all periods presented.

                                USE OF PROCEEDS

     We will use the net proceeds we receive from the sale of the securities
offered by this prospectus and the accompanying prospectus supplement for
general corporate purposes, in connection with hedging our obligations under
the securities, or for any other purpose described in the applicable prospectus
supplement. General corporate purposes may include additions to working
capital, repayment of debt, investments in or extensions of credit to our
subsidiaries, or redemptions or repurchases of our stock. We may temporarily
invest the net proceeds or use them to repay short-term debt until they are
used for their stated purpose.

                         DESCRIPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES

General

     The following description of the terms of the debt securities contains
certain general terms that may apply to the debt securities. The specific terms
of any debt securities will be described in the prospectus supplement relating
to those debt securities.


     The debt securities will be issued under an Indenture, between J.P. Morgan
Chase & Co. and Bankers Trust Company, as Trustee.


     We have summarized below the material provisions of the Indenture and the
debt securities, or indicated which material provisions will be described in
the related prospectus supplement. These descriptions are only summaries, and
each investor should refer to the Indenture, which describes completely the
terms and definitions summarized below and contains additional information
regarding the debt securities. Where appropriate, we use parentheses to refer
you to the particular sections of the Indenture. Any reference to particular
sections or defined terms of the Indenture in any statement under this heading
qualifies the entire statement and incorporates by reference the applicable
section or definition into that statement.

     The debt securities will be our direct, unsecured general obligations. The
debt securities will have the same rank in liquidation as all of our other
unsecured and unsubordinated debt.


     The Indenture does not limit the amount of debt securities that we may
issue. The Indenture provides that debt securities may be issued up to the
principal amount authorized by us from time to time (Section 2.03 of the
Indenture). The Indenture allows us to reopen a previous issue of a series of
debt securities and issue additional debt securities of that issue.

     We are a holding company and conduct substantially all of our operations
through subsidiaries. As a result, claims of holders of the debt securities
will generally have a junior position to claims of creditors of our
subsidiaries, except to the extent that we may be recognized as a creditor of
those subsidiaries. In addition, our right to participate as a shareholder in
any distribution of assets of any subsidiary (and thus the ability of holders
of the debt securities to benefit as creditors of the Company from such
distribution) is junior to creditors of that subsidiary. Claims of creditors of
our subsidiaries include:


     o    substantial amounts of long-term debt;

     o    deposit liabilities;

     o    federal funds purchased;

     o    securities sold under repurchase agreements; and

     o    short-term borrowings.

     In addition, various statutes and regulations restrict some of our
subsidiaries from paying dividends or making loans or advances to us. These
restrictions could prevent those subsidiaries from paying the cash to us that
we need in order to pay you. These restrictions include:

     o    the net capital requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of
          1934, as amended, and the rules of some exchanges and other
          regulatory bodies, which apply to J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. and
          other broker-dealer affiliates, and


     o    banking regulations, which apply to Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of
          New York, The Chase Manhattan Bank and Chase Manhattan Bank USA.



                                       7
<PAGE>


     We may issue debt securities from time to time in one or more series.
(Section 2.03 of the Indenture) The debt securities may be denominated and
payable in U.S. dollars or foreign currencies. (Section 2.03 of the Indenture)
We may also issue debt securities, from time to time, with the principal
amount, interest or other amounts payable on any relevant payment date to be
determined by reference to one or more currency exchange rates, securities or
baskets of securities, commodity prices, indices or any other financial,
economic or other measure or instrument, including the occurrence or
non-occurrence of any event or circumstance. All references in this prospectus,
or any prospectus supplement to other amounts will include premium, if any,
other cash amounts payable under the Indenture, and the delivery of securities
or baskets of securities under the terms of the debt securities.

     Debt securities may bear interest at a fixed rate, which may be zero, or a
floating rate.

     The prospectus supplement relating to the particular series of debt
securities being offered will specify the particular terms of, and other
information relating to, those debt securities. These terms may include:

     o    if other than U.S. dollars, the currency or currencies (including
          composite currencies or currency units) in which the debt securities
          may be purchased and in which payments on the debt securities will be
          made (which currencies may be different for payments of principal,
          premium, if any, and/or interest, if any);

     o    the dates on which any interest or other amounts will be payable, if
          any;

     o    any repayment, redemption, prepayment or sinking fund provisions,
          including any redemption notice provisions;


     o    information as to the methods for determining the amount of
          principal, interest or other amounts payable on any date and/or any

          securities, baskets of securities, indices, baskets of indices,
          interest rates, swap rates, baskets of swap rates or any other
          factors or other financial, economic or other measure or instrument,
          including the occurrence or non- occurrence of any event or
          circumstance, to which the amount payable with respect to the
          principal, interest or other amounts, if any, of the debt securities
          on that date will be linked;

     o    any conversion or exchange provision relating to the conversion or
          exchange of the debt securities into or for securities of another
          entity;


     o    the terms on which holders of the debt securities may convert or
          exchange these securities into or for stock or other securities
          issued by another entity, any specific terms relating to the
          adjustment of the conversion or exchange feature and the period
          during which the holders may make the conversion or exchange;

     o    whether we will issue the debt securities in registered form or
          bearer form or both and, if we are offering debt securities in bearer
          form, any restrictions applicable to the exchange of one form for
          another and to the offer, sale and delivery of those debt securities
          in bearer form;

     o    the place or places for payment of the principal amount, interest or
          other amounts on the debt securities;


                                       8
<PAGE>


     o    whether we will issue the debt securities in definitive form and
          under what terms and conditions;

     o    any agents for the debt securities, including trustees, depositaries,
          authenticating or paying agents, transfer agents or registrars;

     o    any applicable United States federal income tax consequences,
          including, but not limited to:

          o    whether and under what circumstances we will pay additional
               amounts on debt securities held by a person who is not a U.S.
               person for any tax, assessment or governmental charge withheld
               or deducted and, if so, whether we will have the option to
               redeem those debt securities in order to avoid the obligation to
               pay future additional amounts; and

          o    tax considerations applicable to any debt securities denominated
               and payable in foreign currencies; and

     o    any other specific terms of the debt securities, including any
          additional events of default or covenants, and any terms required by
          or advisable under applicable laws or regulations.

     Some of the debt securities may be issued as original issue discount debt
securities (the "Original Issue Discount Securities"). Original Issue Discount
Securities bear no interest or bear interest at below-market rates and will be
sold at a discount below their stated principal amount. The prospectus
supplement relating to an issue of Original Issue Discount Securities will
contain information relating to United States federal income tax, accounting,
and other special considerations applicable to Original Issue Discount
Securities.

     Holders may present debt securities for exchange or transfer, in the
manner, at the places and subject to the restrictions stated in the debt
securities and described in the applicable prospectus supplement. We will
provide these services without charge except for any tax or other governmental
charge payable in connection with these services and subject to any limitations
provided in the Indenture. (Section 2.08 of the Indenture)

     Holders may transfer debt securities in bearer form and the related
coupons, if any, by delivery to the transferee. If any of the securities are
held in global form, the procedures for transfer of interests in those
securities will depend upon the procedures of the depositary for those global
securities. See "Forms of Securities."

     We will generally have no obligation to repurchase, redeem, or change the
terms of debt securities upon any event (including a change in control) that
might have an adverse effect on our credit quality.

Events of Default, Waiver, Debt Securities in Foreign Currencies

     An "Event of Default" with respect to a series of debt securities is
defined in the Indenture as:

     o    default for 30 days in the payment of interest on any debt securities
          of that series;

     o    default in payment of principal or other amounts payable on any debt
          securities of that series when due, at maturity, upon redemption, by
          declaration, or otherwise;


     o    failure by us for 90 days after notice to perform any other covenants
          or warranties contained in the Indenture applicable to that series;


     o    certain events of bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company; and

     o    any other event of default provided in the applicable supplemental
          indentures or form of security. (Section 5.01 of the Indenture)


                                       9
<PAGE>


     If a default in the payment of principal, interest or other amounts
payable on the debt securities, or in the performance of any covenant or
agreement, or in a manner provided in the applicable supplemental indenture or
form of security, with respect to one or more series of debt securities occurs
and is continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% in
principal amount of the debt securities of such series then outstanding,
treated as one class, may declare the principal of all outstanding debt
securities of such series and any interest accrued thereon, to be due and
payable immediately. In the case of Original Issue Discount Securities, only a
specified portion of the principal amount may be accelerated. If a default in
the performance of any covenant or agreement with respect to all series of debt
securities, or due to specified events of bankruptcy or insolvency of the
Company, occurs and is continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of at
least 25% in principal amount of all debt securities then outstanding, voting
as a single class, may declare the principal of all outstanding debt securities
and any interest accrued thereon, to be due and payable immediately. In the
case of Original Issue Discount Securities, only a specified portion of the
principal amount may be accelerated. Subject to certain conditions such
declarations may be annulled and past defaults, except for uncured payment
defaults on the debt securities, may be waived by the holders of a majority in
principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of the series affected.
(Sections 5.01 and 5.10 of the Indenture)

     An Event of Default with respect to one series of debt securities does not
necessarily constitute an Event of Default with respect to any other series of
debt securities. The Indenture provides that the Trustee may withhold notice to
the holders of the debt securities of any default if the Trustee considers it
in the interest of the holders of the debt securities to do so. The Trustee may
not withhold notice of a default in the payment of principal of, interest on or
any other amounts due under, such debt securities. (Section 5.11 of the
Indenture)

     The Indenture provides that the holders of a majority in principal amount
of outstanding debt securities of any series may direct the time, method, and
place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or
exercising any trust or other power conferred on the Trustee. The Trustee may
decline to act if the direction is contrary to law and in certain other
circumstances set forth in the Indenture. (Section 5.09 of the Indenture) The
Trustee is not obligated to exercise any of its rights or powers under the
Indenture at the request or direction of the holders of debt securities unless
the holders offer the Trustee reasonable indemnity against expenses and
liabilities. (Section 6.02(d) of the Indenture)

     No holder of any Debt Security of any series has the right to institute
any action for remedy unless such holder has previously given to the Trustee
written notice of default and the Trustee has failed to take action for 60 days
after the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the debt
securities of such series make written request upon the Trustee to institute
such action. (Section 5.06 of the Indenture)

     The Indenture requires us to file annually with the Trustee a written
statement of no default, or specifying any default that exists. (Section 3.05
of the Indenture)

     Whenever the Indenture provides for an action by, or the determination of
any of the rights of, or any distribution to, holders of debt securities, in
the absence of any provision to the contrary in the form of Debt Security, any
amount in respect of any debt security denominated in a currency or currency
unit other than U.S. dollars may be treated for any such action or distribution
as the amount of U.S. dollars that could reasonably be exchanged for such
non-U.S. dollar amount. This amount will be calculated as of a date that we
specify to the Trustee or, if we fail to specify a date, on a date that the
Trustee may determine. (Section 11.11 of the Indenture)

Discharge, Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance

     Discharge of Indenture. The Indenture will cease to be of further effect
with respect to debt securities of any series, except as to rights of
registration of transfer and exchange, substitution of mutilated or defaced
debt securities, rights of holders to receive principal, interest or other
amounts payable under the debt securities, rights and immunities of the Trustee
and rights of holders with respect to property deposited pursuant to the
following provisions, if at any time:


                                       10
<PAGE>


     o    the Company has paid the principal, interest or other amounts payable
          under the debt securities of such series;

     o    the Company has delivered to the Trustee for cancellation all debt
          securities of such series; or

     o    the debt securities of such series not delivered to the Trustee for
          cancellation have become due and payable, or will become due and
          payable within one year, or are to be called for redemption within
          one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee, and the
          Company has irrevocably deposited with the Trustee as trust funds the
          entire amount in cash or U.S. government obligations sufficient to
          pay all amounts due with respect to such debt securities on or after
          the date of such deposit, including at maturity or upon redemption of
          all such debt securities, including principal, interest and other
          amounts. (Section 10.01 of the Indenture)

     The Trustee, on demand of the Company accompanied by an Officers'
Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel and at the cost and expense of the
Company, will execute proper instruments acknowledging such satisfaction of and
discharging the Indenture with respect to such series.

     Defeasance of a Series of Securities at Any Time. We may also discharge
all of our obligations, other than as to transfers and exchanges, under any
series of debt securities at any time, which we refer to as "defeasance".

     We may be released with respect to any outstanding series of debt
securities from the obligations imposed by Article 9, which contains the
covenant described below limiting consolidations, mergers and asset sales, and
elect not to comply with that provision without creating an event of default.
Discharge under these procedures is called "covenant defeasance".

     Defeasance or covenant defeasance may be effected only if, among other
things:

     o    we irrevocably deposit with the Trustee cash or, in the case of debt
          securities payable only in U.S. dollars, U.S. government obligations,
          as trust funds in an amount certified to be sufficient to pay on each
          date that they become due and payable, the principal of , interest
          on, other amounts due under, and any mandatory sinking fund payments
          for, all outstanding debt securities of the series being defeased;

     o    we deliver to the Trustee an opinion of counsel to the effect that:

          o    the holders of the series of debt securities being defeased will
               not recognize income, gain or loss for United States federal
               income tax purposes as a result of the defeasance or covenant
               defeasance; and

          o    the defeasance or covenant defeasance will not otherwise alter
               those holders' United States federal income tax treatment of
               principal or interest payments or other amounts due under the
               series of debt securities being defeased;

          in the case of a defeasance, this opinion must be based on a ruling
          of the Internal Revenue Service or a change in United States federal
          income tax law occurring after the date of this prospectus, since
          that result would not occur under current tax law; and

     o    such defeasance or covenant defeasance will not result in a breach or
          violation of, or constitute a default under, the Indenture or any
          other agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by
          which it is bound. (Section 10.01 of the Indenture)


                                       11
<PAGE>


Modification of the Indenture; Waiver of Compliance

     The Indenture contains provisions permitting us and the Trustee to modify
the Indenture or the rights of the holders of debt securities with the consent
of the holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of each
outstanding series of debt securities affected by the modification. Each holder
of an affected Debt Security must consent to a modification that would:

     o    change the stated maturity date of the principal of, or of any
          installment of principal of or interest on, any debt security;

     o    reduce the principal amount of, interest on, or any other amounts due
          under any debt security;

     o    change the currency or currency unit of payment of any debt security;

     o    change the method in which amounts of payments of principal, interest
          or other amounts are determined on any debt security;

     o    reduce the portion of the principal amount of an Original Issue
          Discount Security payable upon acceleration of the maturity thereof;

     o    reduce any amount payable upon redemption of any Debt Security;

     o    impair the right of a holder to institute suit for the payment of or,
          if the debt securities provide, any right of repayment at the option
          of the holder of a Debt Security; or

     o    reduce the percentage of debt securities of any series, the consent
          of the holders of which is required for any modification. (Section
          8.02 of the Indenture)

     The Indenture also permits us and the Trustee to amend the Indenture in
certain circumstances without the consent of the holders of debt securities to
evidence our merger, the replacement of the Trustee, to effect changes which do
not affect any outstanding series of Debt Security, and for certain other
purposes. (Section 8.01 of the Indenture)

Consolidations, Mergers and Sales of Assets

     We may not merge or consolidate with any other corporation or sell or
convey all or substantially all of our assets to any other corporation, unless
either:

     o    we are the continuing corporation or the successor corporation is a
          United States corporation which expressly assumes the payment of the
          principal of, any interest on, or any other amounts due under the
          debt securities and the performance and observance of all the
          covenants and conditions of the Indenture binding upon us, and

     o    we or the successor corporation shall not, immediately after the
          merger or consolidation, sale or conveyance, be in default in the
          performance of any covenant or condition. (Article 9 of the
          Indenture)


     There are no covenants or other provisions in the Indenture that would
afford holders of debt securities additional protection in the event of a
recapitalization transaction, a change of control of J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. or
a highly leveraged transaction. The merger covenant described above would only
apply if the recapitalization transaction, change of control or highly
leveraged transaction were structured to include a merger or consolidation of
J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. or a sale or conveyance of all or substantially all of
our assets. However, we may provide specific protections, such as a put right
or increased interest, for particular debt securities, which we would describe
in the applicable prospectus supplement.



                                       12

Concerning the Trustee, Paying Agent, Registrar and Transfer Agent

     Our subsidiaries and we have normal banking relationships with the
Trustee, Bankers Trust Company. Bankers Trust Company will also be the paying
agent, registrar and transfer agent for the debt securities.

Governing Law and Judgments

     The debt securities will be governed by and interpreted under the laws of
the State of New York. (Section 11.8 of the Indenture) In an action involving
debt securities denominated in a currency other than U.S. dollars, it is likely
that any judgment granted by a U.S. court would be made only in U.S. dollars.
However, a New York court should enter a judgment in the denominated currency.
Such judgment should then be converted into U.S. dollars at the rate of
exchange prevailing on the date of entry of the judgment.

                            DESCRIPTION OF WARRANTS

Offered Warrants

     We may issue warrants that are debt warrants, index warrants, currency
warrants, interest rate warrants or universal warrants. We may offer warrants
separately or together with one or more additional warrants, or debt securities
or any combination of those securities in the form of units, as described in
the applicable prospectus supplement. If we issue warrants as part of a unit,
the accompanying prospectus supplement will specify whether those warrants may
be separated from the other securities in the unit prior to the warrants'
expiration date. Universal warrants issued in the United States may not be so
separated prior to the 91st day after the issuance of the unit, unless
otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement.

     Debt Warrants. We may issue, together with debt securities or separately,
warrants for the purchase of debt securities on terms to be determined at the
time of sale. We refer to this type of warrant as a "debt warrant".

     Index Warrants. We may issue warrants entitling the holders thereof to
receive from us, upon exercise, an amount in cash determined by reference to
decreases or increases in the level of a specific index or in the levels (or
relative levels) of two or more indices or combinations of indices, which index
or indices may be based on one or more stocks, bonds or other securities, one
or more interest rates, one or more currencies or currency units, or any
combination of the foregoing. We refer to this type of warrant as an "index
warrant".

     Currency Warrants. We may also issue warrants entitling the holders
thereof to receive from us, upon exercise, an amount in cash determined by
reference to the right to purchase or the right to sell a specified amount or
specified amounts of one or more currencies or currency units or any
combination of the foregoing for a specified amount or specified amounts of one
or more different currencies or currency units or any combination of the
foregoing. We refer to this type of warrant as a "currency warrant".

     Interest Rate Warrants. We may issue warrants entitling the holders
thereof to receive from us, upon exercise, an amount in cash determined by
reference to decreases or increases in the yield or closing price of one or
more specified debt instruments or in the interest rates, interest rate swap
rates, or other rates established from time to time by one or more specified
financial institutions, or any combination of the foregoing. We refer to this
type of warrant as an "interest rate warrant".

     Universal Warrants.  We may also issue warrants:

     o    to purchase or sell securities issued by another entity, securities
          based on the performance of such entity, securities based on the
          performance of such entity but excluding the performance of a
          particular subsidiary or subsidiaries of such entity, a basket of
          securities, any other financial, economic or other measure or
          instrument, including the occurrence or non-occurrence of any event
          or circumstance, or any combination of the above;

     o    to purchase or sell commodities; or

     o    in such other form as shall be specified in the applicable prospectus
          supplement.

     We refer to the property in the above clauses as "warrant property." We
refer to this type of warrant as a "universal warrant." We may satisfy our
obligations, if any, with respect to any universal warrants by delivering the
warrant property or, in the case of warrants to purchase or sell securities or
commodities, the cash value of the securities or commodities, as described in
the applicable prospectus supplement.

          cash or by delivery of the underlying securities or commodities or
          both.

Significant Provisions of the Warrant Agreements

     We will issue the warrants under one or more warrant agreements to be
entered into between us and a bank or trust company, as warrant agent, in one
or more series, which will be described in the prospectus supplement for the
warrants. The forms of warrant agreements are filed as exhibits to the
registration statement. The following summaries of significant provisions of
the warrant agreements and the warrants are not intended to be comprehensive
and holders of warrants should review the detailed provisions of the relevant
warrant agreement for a full description and for other information regarding
the warrants.

     Modifications without Consent of Warrantholders. We and the warrant agent
may amend the terms of the warrants and the warrant certificates without the
consent of the holders to:

     o    cure any ambiguity,

     o    cure, correct or supplement any defective or inconsistent provision,
          or

     o    amend the terms in any other manner which we may deem necessary or
          desirable and which will not adversely affect the interests of the
          affected holders in any material respect.

     Modifications with Consent of Warrantholders. We and the warrant agent,
with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in number of the
then outstanding unexercised warrants affected, may modify or amend the warrant
agreement. However, we and the warrant agent may not, without the consent of
each affected warrantholder:

     o    change the exercise price of the warrants;

     o    reduce the amount receivable upon exercise, cancellation or
          expiration of the warrants other than in accordance with the
          antidilution provisions or other similar adjustment provisions
          included in the terms of the warrants;

     o    shorten the period of time during which the warrants may be
          exercised;

     o    materially and adversely affect the rights of the owners of the
          warrants; or

     o    reduce the percentage of outstanding warrants the consent of whose
          owners is required for the modification of the applicable warrant
          agreement.


     Merger, Consolidation, Sale or Other Disposition. If at any time there
will be a merger or consolidation of J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. or a transfer of
substantially all of our assets, the successor corporation will succeed to and
assume all of our obligations under each warrant agreement and the warrant
certificates. We will then be relieved of


                                       17
<PAGE>


any further obligation under each of those warrant agreements and the warrants
issued under those warrant agreements. See "Description of Debt
Securities--Consolidations, Mergers and Sales of Assets."


     Enforceability of Rights of Warrantholders. The warrant agents will act
solely as our agents in connection with the warrant certificates and will not
assume any obligation or relationship of agency or trust for or with any
holders of warrant certificates or beneficial owners of warrants. Any holder of
warrant certificates and any beneficial owner of warrants may, without the
consent of any other person, enforce by appropriate legal action, on its own
behalf, its right to exercise the warrants evidenced by the warrant
certificates in the manner provided for in that series of warrants or pursuant
to the applicable warrant agreement. No holder of any warrant certificate or
beneficial owner of any warrants will be entitled to any of the rights of a
holder of the debt securities or any other warrant property that may be
purchased upon exercise of the warrants, including, without limitation, the
right to receive the payments on those debt securities or other warrant
property or to enforce any of the covenants or rights in the relevant indenture
or any other similar agreement.

     Registration and Transfer of Warrants. Subject to the terms of the
applicable warrant agreement, warrants in definitive form may be presented for
exchange and for registration of transfer, at the corporate trust office of the
warrant agent for that series of warrants, or at any other office indicated in
the prospectus supplement relating to that series of warrants, without service
charge. However, the holder will be required to pay any taxes and other
governmental charges as described in the warrant agreement. The transfer or
exchange will be effected only if the warrant agent for the series of warrants
is satisfied with the documents of title and identity of the person making the
request.

     New York Law to Govern. The warrants and each warrant agreement will be
governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New
York.

                              DESCRIPTION OF UNITS

General

     Units will consist of one or more debt securities and warrants or any
combination of them. The applicable prospectus supplement will also describe:

     o    the designation and the terms of the units and of any combination of
          debt securities and warrants constituting the units, including
          whether and under what circumstances the debt securities or warrants
          may be traded separately;

     o    any additional terms of the applicable unit agreement;

     o    any additional provisions for the issuance, payment, settlement,
          transfer or exchange of the units or of the debt securities or
          warrants constituting the units; and

     o    any applicable United States federal income tax consequences.

     The terms and conditions described under "Description of Debt Securities,"
and "Description of Warrants" will apply to each unit and to any debt security
or warrant included in each unit, respectively, unless otherwise specified in
the applicable prospectus supplement.

     We will issue the units under one or more unit agreements, each referred to
as a unit agreement, to be entered into between us and a bank or trust company,
as unit agent. We may issue units in one or more series, which will be described
in the applicable prospectus supplement. We have filed a form of unit agreement
as an exhibit to the registration statement.

Significant Provisions of the Unit Agreement

     Remedies. The unit agent will act solely as our agent in connection with
the units governed by the unit agreement and will not assume any obligation or
relationship of agency or trust for or with any holders of units or interests
in those units. Any holder of units or interests in those units may, without
the consent of the unit agent or any other holder or beneficial owner of units,
enforce by appropriate legal action, on its own behalf, its rights under the
unit agreement. However, the holders of units or interests in those units may
only enforce their rights under the debt securities or warrants issued as parts
of those units in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and the applicable
warrant agreement.

     Modification. We and the unit agent may amend the unit agreement without
the consent of the holders to:

     o    cure any ambiguity;

     o    cure, correct or supplement any defective or inconsistent provision
          in the agreement; or

     o    amend the terms in any other manner which we may deem necessary or
          desirable and which will not adversely affect the interest of the
          affected holders of units in any material respect.

     We and the unit agent, with the consent of the holders of not less than a
majority of units at the time outstanding, may modify or amend the rights of
the affected holders of the affected units and the terms of the unit agreement.
However, we and the unit agent may not, without the consent of each affected
holder of units, make any modifications or amendments that would:

     o    materially and adversely affect the exercise rights of the affected
          holders, or


                                       19
<PAGE>


     o    reduce the percentage of outstanding units the consent of whose
          owners is required to consent to a modification or amendment of the
          unit agreement.

     Any debt securities issued as part of units governed by the unit agreement
may be modified only in accordance with the Indenture, as described above under
"Description of Debt Securities--Modification of the Indenture." Any warrants
issued as part of units may be modified only in accordance with the terms of
the applicable warrant agreement as described in "Description of
Warrants--Significant Provisions of the Warrant Agreements."

     Merger, Consolidation, Sale or Conveyance. The unit agreement provides
that we will not merge or consolidate with any other person and will not sell
or convey all or substantially all of our assets to any person unless:

     o    we will be the continuing corporation; or

     o    the successor corporation or person that acquires all or
          substantially all of our assets:

          o    will be a corporation organized under the laws of the United
               States, a state of the United States or the District of
               Columbia; and

          o    will expressly assume all of our obligations under the unit
               agreement; and

     o    immediately after the merger, consolidation, sale or conveyance, we,
          that person or that successor corporation will not be in default in
          the performance of the covenants and conditions of the unit agreement
          applicable to us.

     Replacement of Unit Certificates. We will replace any mutilated
certificate evidencing a definitive unit at the expense of the holder upon
surrender of that certificate to the unit agent. We will replace certificates
that have been destroyed, lost or stolen at the expense of the holder upon
delivery to us and the unit agent of evidence satisfactory to us and the unit
agent of the destruction, loss or theft of the certificates. In the case of a
destroyed, lost or stolen certificate, an indemnity satisfactory to the unit
agent and to us may be required at the expense of the holder of the units or
prepaid purchase contracts evidenced by that certificate before a replacement
will be issued.

     Title. We, the unit agent, the trustee, the warrant agent and any of their
agents will treat the registered owner of any unit as its owner,
notwithstanding any notice to the contrary, for all purposes.

     New York Law to Govern. The unit agreement and the units will be governed
by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

                              FORMS OF SECURITIES

     Each debt security, warrant and unit will be represented either by a
certificate issued in definitive form to a particular investor or by one or
more global securities representing the entire issuance of securities. Both
certificated securities in definitive form and global securities may be issued
either (1) in registered form, where our obligation runs to the holder of the
security named on the face of the security or (2) subject to the limitations
explained below under "--Limitations on Issuance of Bearer Securities and
Bearer Debt Warrants," in bearer form, where our obligation runs to the bearer
of the security. Definitive securities name you or your nominee as the owner of
the security (other than definitive bearer securities, which name the bearer as
owner), and in order to transfer or exchange these securities or to receive
payments other than interest or other interim payments, you or your nominee
must physically deliver the securities to the trustee, registrar, paying agent
or other agent, as applicable. Global securities name a depositary or its
nominee as the owner of the debt securities, warrants or units represented by
these global securities (other than global bearer securities, which name the
bearer as owner). The depositary maintains a computerized system that will
reflect each investor's beneficial ownership of the securities through an
account maintained by the investor with its broker/dealer, bank, trust company
or other representative, as we explain more fully below.

Global Securities

     Registered Global Securities. We may issue the registered debt securities,
warrants and units in the form of one or more fully registered global
securities that will be deposited with a depositary or its nominee identified
in the applicable prospectus supplement and registered in the name of that
depositary or nominee. In those cases, one or more registered global securities
will be issued in a denomination or aggregate denominations equal to the
portion of the aggregate principal or face amount of the securities to be
represented by registered global securities. Unless and until it is exchanged
in whole for securities in definitive registered form, a registered global
security may not be transferred except as a whole by and among the depositary
for the registered global security, the nominees of the depositary or any
successors of the depositary or those nominees.

     If not described below, any specific terms of the depositary arrangement
with respect to any securities to be represented by a registered global
security will be described in the prospectus supplement relating to those
securities. We anticipate that the following provisions will apply to all
depositary arrangements.

     Ownership of beneficial interests in a registered global security will be
limited to persons, called participants, that have accounts with the depositary
or persons that may hold interests through participants. Upon the issuance of a
registered global security, the depositary will credit, on its book-entry
registration and transfer system, the participants' accounts with the
respective principal or face amounts of the securities beneficially owned by
the participants. Any dealers, underwriters or agents participating in the
distribution of the securities will designate the accounts to be credited.
Ownership of beneficial interests in a registered global security will be shown
on, and the transfer of ownership interests will be effected only through,
records maintained by the depositary, with respect to interests of
participants, and on the records of participants, with respect to interests of
persons holding through participants. The laws of some states may require that
some purchasers of securities take physical delivery of these securities in
definitive form. These laws may impair your ability to own, transfer or pledge
beneficial interests in registered global securities.

     So long as the depositary, or its nominee, is the registered owner of a
registered global security, that depositary or its nominee, as the case may be,
will be considered the sole owner or holder of the securities represented by
the registered global security for all purposes under the applicable indenture,
warrant agreement or unit agreement. Except as described below, owners of
beneficial interests in a registered global security will not be entitled to
have the securities represented by the registered global security registered in
their names, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of
the securities in definitive form and will not be considered the owners or
holders of the securities under the applicable indenture, warrant agreement or
unit agreement. Accordingly, each person owning a beneficial interest in a
registered global security must rely on the procedures of the depositary for
that registered global security and, if that person is not a participant, on
the procedures of the participant through which the person owns its interest,
to exercise any rights of a holder under the applicable indenture, warrant
agreement or unit


                                       21
<PAGE>


agreement. We understand that under existing industry practices, if we request
any action of holders or if an owner of a beneficial interest in a registered
global security desires to give or take any action that a holder is entitled to
give or take under the applicable indenture, warrant agreement or unit
agreement, the depositary for the registered global security would authorize
the participants holding the relevant beneficial interests to give or take that
action, and the participants would authorize beneficial owners owning through
them to give or take that action or would otherwise act upon the instructions
of beneficial owners holding through them.


     Principal, interest payments on debt securities, other amounts due under
debt securities and any payments to holders with respect to warrants or units,
represented by a registered global security registered in the name of a
depositary or its nominee will be made to the depositary or its nominee, as the
case may be, as the registered owner of the registered global security. None of
J.P. Morgan Chase & Co., the trustees, the warrant agents, the unit agents or
any other agent of J.P. Morgan Chase & Co., agent of the trustees or agent of
the warrant agents or unit agents will have any responsibility or liability for
any aspect of the records relating to payments made on account of beneficial
ownership interests in the registered global security or for maintaining,
supervising or reviewing any records relating to those beneficial ownership
interests.


     We expect that the depositary for any of the securities represented by a
registered global security, upon receipt of any payment of principal, interest,
other amounts or other distribution of underlying securities or other property
to holders on that registered global security, will immediately credit
participants' accounts in amounts proportionate to their respective beneficial
interests in that registered global security as shown on the records of the
depositary. We also expect that payments by participants to owners of
beneficial interests in a registered global security held through participants
will be governed by standing customer instructions and customary practices, as
is now the case with the securities held for the accounts of customers in
bearer form or registered in "street name," and will be the responsibility of
those participants.

     If the depositary for any of these securities represented by a registered
global security is at any time unwilling or unable to continue as depositary or
ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, and a successor depositary registered as a clearing agency under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is not appointed by us within 90 days, we will
issue securities in definitive form in exchange for the registered global
security that had been held by the depositary. In addition, we may at any time
and in our sole discretion decide not to have any of the securities represented
by one or more registered global securities. If we make that decision, we will
issue securities in definitive form in exchange for all of the registered
global security or securities representing those securities. Any securities
issued in definitive form in exchange for a registered global security will be
registered in the name or names that the depositary gives to the relevant
trustee, warrant agent, unit agent or other relevant agent of ours or theirs.
It is expected that the depositary's instructions will be based upon directions
received by the depositary from participants with respect to ownership of
beneficial interests in the registered global security that had been held by
the depositary.

     Bearer Global Securities. The securities may also be issued in the form of
one or more bearer global securities that will be deposited with a common
depositary for the Euroclear System and Clearstream Banking, societe anonyme or
with a nominee for the depositary identified in the prospectus supplement
relating to those securities. The specific terms and procedures, including the
specific terms of the depositary arrangement, with respect to any securities to
be represented by a bearer global security will be described in the prospectus
supplement relating to those securities.

Limitations on Issuance of Bearer Securities and Bearer Debt Warrants

     In compliance with United States federal income tax laws and regulations,
bearer securities, including bearer securities in global form, and bearer debt
warrants will not be offered, sold, resold or delivered, directly or
indirectly, in the United States or its possessions or to United States
persons, as defined below, except as otherwise permitted by United States
Treasury Regulations Section 1.163-5(c)(2)(i)(D). Any underwriters, agents or
dealers participating in the offerings of bearer securities or bearer debt
warrants, directly or indirectly, must agree that:


                                       22
<PAGE>


     o    they will not, in connection with the original issuance of any bearer
          securities or during the restricted period, as defined in United
          States Treasury Regulations Section 1.163-5(c)(2)(i)(D)(7), which we
          refer to as the "restricted period," offer, sell, resell or deliver,
          directly or indirectly, any bearer securities in the United States or
          its possessions or to United States persons, other than as permitted
          by the applicable Treasury Regulations described above, and

     o    they will not, at any time, offer, sell, resell or deliver, directly
          or indirectly, any bearer debt warrants in the United States or its
          possessions or to United States persons, other than as permitted by
          the applicable Treasury Regulations described above.

In addition, any underwriters, agents or dealers must have procedures
reasonably designed to ensure that their employees or agents who are directly
engaged in selling bearer securities or bearer debt warrants are aware of the
above restrictions on the offering, sale, resale or delivery of bearer
securities or bearer debt warrants.


     Bearer securities, other than temporary global debt securities and bearer
securities that satisfy the requirements of United States Treasury Regulations
Section 1.163-5(c)(2)(i)(D)(3)(iii) and any coupons appertaining thereto will
not be delivered in definitive form, and no interest will be paid thereon,
unless J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. has received a signed certificate in writing, or
an electronic certificate described in United States Treasury Regulations
Section 1.163-5(c)(2)(i)(D)(3)(ii), stating that on the date of that
certificate the bearer security:


     o    is owned by a person that is not a United States person;


     o    is owned by a United States person that (a) is a foreign branch of a
          United States financial institution, as defined in applicable United
          States Treasury Regulations, which we refer to as a "financial
          institution," purchasing for its own account or for resale, or (b) is
          acquiring the bearer security through a foreign branch of a United
          States financial institution and who holds the bearer security
          through that financial institution through that date, and in either
          case (a) or (b) above, each of those United States financial
          institutions agrees, on its own behalf or through its agent, that
          J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. may be advised that it will comply with the
          requirements of Section 165(j)(3)(A), (B) or (C) of the Internal
          Revenue Code of 1986 and the Treasury Regulations thereunder; or


     o    is owned by a United States or foreign financial institution for the
          purposes of resale during the restricted period and, whether or not
          also described in the first or second clause above, the financial
          institution certifies that it has not acquired the bearer security
          for purposes of resale directly or indirectly to a United States
          person or to a person within the United States or its possessions.

     We will not issue bearer debt warrants in definitive form.

     We will make payments on bearer securities and bearer debt warrants only
outside the United States and its possessions except as permitted by the above
Treasury Regulations.

     Bearer securities, other than temporary global securities, and any coupons
issued with bearer securities will bear the following legend: "Any United
States person who holds this obligation will be subject to limitations under
the United States income tax laws, including the limitations provided in
sections 165(j) and 1287(a) of the Internal Revenue Code." The sections
referred to in this legend provide that, with exceptions, a United States
person will not be permitted to deduct any loss, and will not be eligible for
capital gain treatment with respect to any gain realized on the sale, exchange
or redemption of that bearer security or coupon.


     As used in the preceding three paragraphs, the term bearer securities
includes bearer securities that are part of units and the term bearer debt
warrants includes bearer debt warrants that are part of units. As used herein,
the term "United States person" means a citizen or resident of the United
States for United States federal income tax purposes, a corporation or
partnership, including an entity treated as a corporation or partnership for
United States federal income tax purposes, created or organized in or under the
laws of the United States, or any state of the United



                                       23
<PAGE>


States or the District of Columbia, or an estate or trust the income of which
is subject to United States federal income taxation regardless of its source.

Form of Securities Included in Units

     The form of any warrant included in a unit will correspond to the form of
the unit and of any other security included in that unit.


                                       24
<PAGE>


                              PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

     We may sell the debt securities or warrants:

     o    through agents;

     o    through underwriters;

     o    through dealers; and

     o    directly to purchasers, any of whom may be customers of, engage in
          transactions with, or perform services for, the Company in the
          ordinary course of business.

     If we offer and sell securities through an agent, that agent will be
named, and any commissions payable to that agent by us, will be set forth in
the prospectus supplement. Any agent will be acting on a best efforts basis for
the period of its appointment which will usually be five business days or less.
An agent may be deemed to be an underwriter under the federal securities laws.

     If underwriters are used in the sale of the securities, we will sign an
underwriting agreement with them. The underwriting agreement will provide that
the obligations of the underwriters are subject to certain conditions and that
the underwriters will be obligated to purchase all of the securities if any are
purchased. Underwriters will buy the securities for their own account and may
resell them from time to time in one or more transactions, including negotiated
transactions, at fixed public offering prices or at varying prices determined
at the time of sale. Securities may be offered to the public either through
underwriting syndicates represented by managing underwriters, or directly by
the managing underwriters. The name of the managing underwriter or
underwriters, as well as any other underwriters, and the terms of the
transaction, including compensation of the underwriters and dealers, if any,
will be set forth in the prospectus supplement. The underwriters named in the
prospectus supplement will be the only underwriters for the securities offered
by that prospectus supplement.

     If a dealer is utilized in the sale of securities, we will sell those
securities to the dealer, as principal. The dealer may resell those securities
to the public at varying prices to be determined by the dealer at the time of
resale. A dealer may be deemed to be an underwriter of those securities under
the securities laws. The name of the dealer and the terms of the transaction
will be set forth in the prospectus supplement.

     Our net proceeds will be the purchase price in the case of sales to a
dealer, the public offering price less discount in the case of sales to an
underwriter or the purchase price less commission in the case of sales through
an agent -- in each case, less other expenses attributable to issuance and
distribution.

     In order to facilitate the offering of these securities, the underwriters
may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the
price of these securities or any other securities the prices of which may be
used to determine payments on these securities. Specifically, the underwriters
may sell more securities than they are obligated to purchase in connection with
the offering, creating a short position for their own accounts. A short sale is
covered if the short position is no greater than the number or amount of
securities available for purchase by the underwriters under any overallotment
option. The underwriters can close out a covered short sale by exercising the
overallotment option or purchasing these securities in the open market. In
determining the source of securities to close out a covered short sale, the
underwriters will consider, among other things, the open market price of these
securities compared to the price available under the overallotment option. The
underwriters may also sell these securities or any other securities in excess
of the overallotment option, creating a naked short position. The underwriters
must close out any naked short position by purchasing securities in the open
market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the underwriters
are concerned that there may be downward pressure on the price of these
securities in the open market after pricing that could adversely affect
investors who purchase in the offering. As an additional means of facilitating
the offering, the underwriters may bid for, and purchase, these securities or
any other securities in the open market to stabilize the price of these
securities or of any other securities. Finally, in any offering of the
securities through a syndicate of underwriters, the underwriting syndicate may
also


                                       25
<PAGE>


reclaim selling concessions allowed to an underwriter or a dealer for
distributing these securities in the offering, if the syndicate repurchases
previously distributed securities to cover syndicate short positions or to
stabilize the price of these securities. Any of these activities may raise or
maintain the market price of these securities above independent market levels
or prevent or retard a decline in the market price of these securities. The
underwriters are not required to engage in these activities, and may end any of
these activities at any time.

     We may agree to indemnify agents, underwriters, or dealers against certain
liabilities, including liabilities under the securities laws, or to contribute
to payments that agents, underwriters, or dealers may be required to make.
Agents, underwriters and dealers may be customers of, engage in transactions
with or perform services for us in the ordinary course of business.

     We may directly solicit offers to purchase securities, and we may sell
securities directly to institutional investors or others, who may be deemed to
be underwriters within the meaning of the securities laws. The terms of any
such sales will be described in the prospectus supplement.

     We may authorize agents, underwriters, and dealers to solicit offers by
certain institutions to purchase the securities from us at the public offering
price stated in the prospectus supplement pursuant to delayed delivery
contracts providing for payment and delivery on a specified date in the future
and on terms described in the prospectus supplement. These contracts will be
subject to only those conditions described in the prospectus supplement, and
the prospectus supplement will state the commission payable for solicitation of
these offers. Institutions with whom delayed delivery contracts may be made
include commercial and savings banks, insurance companies, pension funds,
investment companies, educational and charitable institutions, and other
institutions but shall in all cases be institutions which we have approved.

     These contracts will be subject only to the conditions that:

     o    the underwriters purchase the securities at the time of the Contract;
          and

     o    the purchase is not prohibited under the laws of any jurisdiction in
          the United States to which the purchase is subject.

     We will pay a commission, as indicated in the prospectus supplement, to
agents and dealers soliciting purchases of securities pursuant to delayed
delivery contracts that we have accepted.

     This prospectus and related prospectus supplement may be used by direct or
indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of ours in connection with offers and sales
related to secondary market transactions in the securities. Those subsidiaries
may act as principal or agent in those transactions. Secondary market sales
will be made at prices related to prevailing market prices at the time of sale.

     The offer and sale of the securities by an affiliate of ours will comply
with the requirements of Rule 2720 of the Rules of Conduct of the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. regarding underwriting of securities of
an affiliate and will comply with any restrictions imposed on the underwriter
by the Governors. Accordingly, an affiliate of ours that is a member of the
NASD may participate in a public offering and sale of our debt securities if
the offering is of a class of securities rated investment grade by a nationally
recognized statistical rating organization. In addition, an affiliate of ours
that is a member of the NASD may participate in any public offering and sale of
the securities, including without limitation Warrants, if the price at which an
equity issue is distributed to the public is no higher or the yield at which a
debt issue is distributed to the public is no lower than that recommended by a
"qualified independent underwriter" (determined to be so qualified by the NASD
prior to commencement of such offering), in each case in compliance with the
Conduct Rules of the NASD. Following the initial distribution of any of the
securities, our affiliates may offer and sell these securities in the course of
their business as broker-dealers. Our affiliates may act as principals or
agents in these transactions and may make any sales at varying prices related
to prevailing market prices at the time of sale or otherwise. Our affiliates
may use this prospectus in connection with these transactions. None of our
affiliates is obligated to make a market in any of these securities and may
discontinue any market-making activities at any time without notice.

     Any underwriter, agent or dealer utilized in the initial offering of
securities will not confirm sales to accounts over which it exercises
discretionary authority without the prior specific written approval of its
customer.

                                    EXPERTS


     The audited financial statements of J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. contained in
our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000, are
incorporated by reference in this prospectus in reliance on the reports of
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, independent accountants, given on the authority of
that firm as experts in auditing and accounting.


                                 LEGAL OPINIONS


     The validity of the securities will be passed upon by Neila B. Radin,
Senior Vice President and Associate General Counsel of J.P. Morgan Chase & Co.
Davis Polk & Wardwell will pass upon some legal matters relating to these
securities for the underwriters. Davis Polk & Wardwell has in the past
represented J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. and continues to represent J.P. Morgan
Chase & Co. on a regular basis and in a variety of matters.


            ERISA MATTERS FOR PENSION PLANS AND INSURANCE COMPANIES


     Section 406 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as
amended ("ERISA") and Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended, (the "Code") prohibit pension, profit-sharing or other employee
benefit plans, as well as individual retirement accounts and Keogh plans
subject to Section 4975 of the Code ("Plans"), from engaging in certain
transactions involving the "plan assets" with persons who are "parties in
interest" under ERISA or "disqualified persons" under the Code ("Parties in
Interest") with respect to such Plans. As a result of its business, the Company
is a Party in Interest with respect to many Plans. Where the Company is a Party
in Interest with respect to a Plan (either directly or by reason of its
ownership of its subsidiaries), the purchase and holding of the securities by
or on behalf of the Plan would be a prohibited lending transaction under
Section 406(a)(1) of ERISA and Section 4975(c)(1) of the Code, unless exemptive
relief were available under an applicable administrative exemption (as
described below) or there was some other basis on which the transaction was not
prohibited.

     Accordingly, the securities may not be purchased or held by any Plan, any
entity whose underlying assets include "plan assets" by reason of any Plan's
investment in the entity (a "Plan Asset Entity") or any person investing "plan
assets" of any Plan, unless such purchaser or holder is eligible for the
exemptive relief available under Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption
("PTCE") 96-23, 95-60, 91-38, 90-1 or 84-14 issued by the U.S. Department of
Labor or there was some other basis on which the purchase and holding of the
securities by the Plan Asset Entity is not prohibited. Unless the applicable
prospectus supplement explicitly provides otherwise, any purchaser or holder of
the securities or any interest therein will be deemed to have represented by
its purchase of the securities that (a) its purchase and holding of the
securities is not made on behalf of or with "plan assets" of any Plan or (b)
its purchase and holding of the securities is eligible for the exemptive relief
available under PTCE 96-23, 95-60, 91-38, 90-1 or 84-14 or there is some other
basis on which such purchase and holding is not prohibited.

     Employee benefit plans that are governmental plans (as defined in Section
3(32) of ERISA), certain church plans (as defined in Section 3(33) of ERISA)
and foreign plans (as described in Section 4(b)(4) of ERISA) are not subject to
these "prohibited transaction" rules of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, but
may be subject to similar rules under other applicable laws or documents.

     Due to the complexity of the applicable rules, it is particularly
important that fiduciaries or other persons considering purchasing the
securities on behalf of or with "plan assets" of any Plan consult with their
counsel regarding the relevant provisions of ERISA and the Code and the
availability of exemptive relief under PTCE 96-23, 95-60, 91-38, 90-1 or 84-1.

Item 15. Indemnification of Officers and Directors.

     Pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law ("DGCL"), a corporation
may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a
party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding,
whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action
by or in the right of such corporation) by reason of the fact that the person
is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such corporation, or is or
was serving at the request of such corporation as a director, officer, employee
or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and
amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with
such action, suit or proceeding, if such person acted in good faith and in a
manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of such corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.

     The DGCL also permits indemnification by a corporation under similar
circumstances for expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably
incurred by such persons in connection with the defense or settlement of a
derivative action, except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of
any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to
be liable to such corporation unless the Delaware Court of Chancery or the
court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application
that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the
circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to
indemnity for such expenses which such court shall deem proper.

     The DGCL provides that the indemnification described above shall not be
deemed exclusive of any other indemnification to which those seeking
indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled pursuant to its
By-Laws, disinterested directors' vote, stockholders' vote, agreement or
otherwise.

     The DGCL also provides corporations with the power to purchase and
maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer,
employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of
the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against any
liability asserted against him or her in any such capacity, or arising out of
his or her status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power
to indemnify him or her against such liability as described above.


                                      II-1
<PAGE>



     The Restated Certificate of Incorporation of J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. (the
"Registrant") provides that, to the fullest extent that the DGCL as from time
to time in effect permits the limitation or elimination of the liability of
directors, no director of the Registrant shall be personally liable to the
Registrant or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary
duty as a director.


     The Registrant's Restated Certificate of Incorporation empowers the
Registrant to indemnify any director, officer, employee or agent of the
Registrant or any other person who is serving at the Registrant's request in
any such capacity with another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust
or other enterprise (including, without limitation, an employee benefit plan)
to the fullest extent permitted under the DGCL as from time to time in effect,
and any such indemnification may continue as to any person who has ceased to be
a director, officer, employee or agent and may inure to the benefit of the
heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

     The Registrant's Restated Certificate of Incorporation also empowers the
Registrant by action of its Board of Directors, notwithstanding any interest of
the directors in the action, to purchase and maintain insurance in such amounts
as the Board of Directors deems appropriate to protect any director, officer,
employee or agent of the Registrant or any other person who is serving at the
Registrant's request in any such capacity with another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise (including, without
limitation, an employee benefit plan) against any liability asserted against
him or her or incurred by him or her in any such capacity arising out of his or
her status as such (including, without limitation, expenses, judgments, fines
(including any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to any employee
benefit plan) and amounts paid in settlement) to the fullest extent permitted
under the DGCL as from time to time in effect, whether or not the Registrant
would have the power or be required to indemnify any such individual under the
terms of any agreement or by-law or the DGCL.

     In addition, the Registrant's By-laws require indemnification to the
fullest extent permitted under applicable law, as from time to time in effect.
The By-laws provide a clear and unconditional right to indemnification for
expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement actually and reasonably incurred by any person in connection with
any threatened, pending or completed investigation, claim, action, suit or
proceeding, whether civil, administrative or investigative (including, to the
extent permitted by law, any derivative action) by reason of the fact that such
person is or was serving as a director, officer, employee or agent of the
Registrant or, at the request of the Registrant, of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise (including, without
limitation, an employee benefit plan). The By-laws specify that the right to
indemnification so provided is a contract right, set forth certain procedural
and evidentiary standards applicable to the enforcement of a claim under the
By- laws and entitle the persons to be indemnified to have all expenses
incurred in advance of the final disposition of a proceeding paid by the
Registrant. Such provisions, however, are intended to be in furtherance and not
in limitation of the general right to indemnification provided in the By-laws,
which right of indemnification and of advancement of expenses is not exclusive.

     The Registrant's By-laws also provide that the Registrant may enter into
contracts with any director, officer, employee or agent of the Registrant in
furtherance of the indemnification provisions in the By-laws, as well as create
a trust fund, grant a security interest or use other means (including, without
limitation, a letter of credit) to ensure payment of amounts indemnified.

     The foregoing statements are subject to the detailed provisions of Section
145 of the Delaware Corporation Law and the By-laws of the Registrant.

Item 17. Undertakings.


     The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

     (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

          (i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
          Securities Act of 1933, as amended;

          (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after
          the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent
          post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the
          aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set
          forth in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
          any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the
          total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which
          was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the
          estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of
          prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in
          the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than
          20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth
          in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective
          Registration Statement; and

          (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of
          distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement
          or any material change to such information in the Registration
          Statement.

     provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) do not apply if the
information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the
Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that are incorporated by reference
in this Registration Statement.

     (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, each such post-effective amendment shall be
deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof.

     (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any
of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of
the offering.

     The undersigned Registrant hereby further undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, each
filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section
15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (and, where
applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to
Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) that is
incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be
a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and
the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide offering thereof.

     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, may be permitted to directors, officers and
controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the provisions described
under Item 15 of this Registration Statement, or otherwise, the Registrant has
been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in such Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred
or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the
matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
against public policy as expressed in such Act and will be governed by the
final adjudication of such issue.

                                     UNDERWRITING AGREEMENT

                                       STANDARD PROVISIONS

                              (DEBT SECURITIES, WARRANTS AND UNITS
                           COMPRISED OF DEBT SECURITIES AND WARRANTS)









June 12, 2001



<PAGE>


     From time to time, J.P. Morgan Chase & Co., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), may enter into one or more underwriting agreements that provide for
the sale of designated securities to the several underwriters named therein
(each an "Underwriter"). The standard provisions set forth herein may be
incorporated by reference in any such underwriting agreement (an "Underwriting
Agreement"). The Underwriting Agreement, including the provisions incorporated
therein by reference, is herein referred to as "this Agreement". Unless
otherwise defined herein, terms defined in the Underwriting Agreement are used
herein as therein defined.


                                       I.

     The Company proposes to issue from time to time senior debt securities to
be issued pursuant to the provisions of the Indenture dated as of May 25, 2001
and any indentures supplemental thereto (collectively referred to as the
"Indenture") between the Company and Bankers Trust Company, as Trustee. Such
senior debt securities will have varying designations, maturities, rates and
times of payment of interest, selling prices, redemption terms and other terms.
The Company also proposes to issue from time to time warrants (A) to purchase
debt securities registered by the Registration Statement (as hereinafter
defined), (B) to receive cash determined by reference to an index or indices,
(C) to receive cash determined by reference to currencies, (D) to receive cash
determined by reference to interest rates, or (E) (i) to purchase or sell
securities of an entity other than the Company, a basket of such securities or
commodities, or (ii) to receive cash determined by reference to any other
financial, economic or other measure or instrument including the occurrence or
non-occurrence of any other event or circumstance, or any combination of the
above, such warrants to be issued pursuant to the provisions of a warrant
agreement (the "Warrant Agreement") between the Company and the warrant agent
indicated in the Underwriting Agreement. Such warrants will have varying
designations, exercise prices, expiration dates and other terms. Such senior
debt securities and warrants may be issued separately or as part of a unit. Any
such senior debt securities, any such warrants and any such units are herein
sometimes collectively referred to as the "Securities".

     The Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"Commission") a registration statement including a prospectus relating to the
Securities and has filed with, or mailed for filing to, the Commission a
prospectus supplement or supplements specifically relating to the Offered
Securities (as defined in the Underwriting Agreement), pursuant to Rule 424
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). The term
"Registration Statement" means the registration statement as amended to the
date of the Underwriting Agreement. The term "Basic Prospectus" means the


<PAGE>


prospectus included in the Registration Statement. The term "Prospectus" means
the Basic Prospectus together with the prospectus supplement (other than a
preliminary prospectus supplement) specifically relating to the Offered
Securities, as filed with, or mailed for filing to, the Commission pursuant to
Rule 424. The term "preliminary prospectus" means a preliminary prospectus
supplement specifically relating to the Offered Securities, together with the
Basic Prospectus. As used herein the terms "Registration Statement", "Basic
Prospectus", "Prospectus" and "preliminary prospectus" shall include in each
case the material, if any, incorporated by reference therein.

     The term "Offered Securities" means the Offered Securities to be purchased
by the Underwriters herein. The term "Contract Securities" means the Offered
Securities, if any, to be purchased pursuant to the delayed delivery contracts
referred to below.


                                      II.

     If the Prospectus provides for sales of Offered Securities pursuant to
delayed delivery contracts, the Company hereby authorizes the Underwriters to
solicit offers to purchase Contract Securities on the terms and subject to the
conditions set forth in the Prospectus pursuant to delayed delivery contracts
substantially in the form of Schedule I attached hereto ("Delayed Delivery
Contracts") but with such changes therein as the Company may authorize or
approve. Delayed Delivery Contracts are to be with institutional investors
approved by the Company and of the types set forth in the Prospectus. On the
Closing Date (as hereinafter defined) the Company will pay the Manager (as
defined in the Underwriting Agreement) as compensation, for the accounts of the
Underwriters, the fee set forth in the Underwriting Agreement in respect of the
Contract Securities. The Underwriters will not have any responsibility in
respect of the validity or the performance of Delayed Delivery Contracts.

     If the Company executes and delivers Delayed Delivery Contracts with
institutional investors, the Securities comprising the Contract Securities
shall be deducted from the Securities comprising the Offered Securities to be
purchased by the several Underwriters; and the aggregate principal amount of
Securities comprising the Offered Securities to be purchased by each
Underwriter shall be reduced pro rata in proportion to the principal amount of
Securities comprising the Offered Securities set forth opposite each
Underwriter's name in the Underwriting Agreement, except to the extent that the
Manager determines that such reduction shall be otherwise and so advises the
Company.


                                       2

<PAGE>


                                      III.

     The Company is advised by the Manager that the Underwriters propose to
make a public offering of their respective portions of the Offered Securities
as soon after this Agreement is entered into as in the Manager's judgment is
advisable. The terms of the public offering of the Offered Securities are set
forth in the Prospectus.


                                      IV.

     Payment for the Offered Securities shall be made by payment in full of the
requisite amount of funds determined in the Underwriting Agreement and in
accordance with the procedures set forth in the Underwriting Agreement, upon
delivery to the Manager for the respective accounts of the several Underwriters
of the Offered Securities registered in such names and in such denominations as
the Manager shall request in writing not less than two full business days prior
to the date of delivery. The time and date of such payment and delivery with
respect to the Offered Securities are herein referred to as the "Closing Date".


                                       V.

     The several obligations of the Underwriters hereunder are subject to the
following conditions:

          (a) No stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration
     Statement shall be in effect, and no proceedings for such purpose shall be
     pending before or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened by the
     Commission and there shall have been no material adverse change (not in
     the ordinary course of business) in the condition of the Company and its
     subsidiaries, taken as a whole, from that set forth in the Registration
     Statement and the Prospectus; and the Manager shall have received, on the
     Closing Date, a certificate, dated the Closing Date and signed by an
     executive officer of the Company, to the foregoing effect. The officer
     making such certificate may rely upon the best of his knowledge as to
     proceedings pending or threatened.

          (b) The Manager shall have received on the Closing Date an opinion of
     Simpson, Thacher & Bartlett, counsel to the Company, dated the Closing
     Date, in form and scope satisfactory to the Manager.

          (c) The Manager shall have received on the Closing Date an opinion of
     Davis Polk & Wardwell, counsel for the Underwriters, dated the Closing
     Date, in form and scope satisfactory to the Manager.


                                       3

<PAGE>


          (d) The Manager shall have received on the Closing Date a letter
     dated the Closing Date, in form and substance satisfactory to the Manager,
     from PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, independent public accountants,
     containing statements and information of the type ordinarily included in
     accountants' "comfort letters" to underwriters with respect to the
     financial statements and certain financial information contained or
     incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and the
     Prospectus.


                                      VI.

     In further consideration of the agreements of the Underwriters contained
in this Agreement, the Company covenants as follows:

          (a) To furnish the Manager, without charge, a copy of the
     Registration Statement including exhibits and materials, if any,
     incorporated by reference therein and, during the period mentioned in
     paragraph (c) below, as many copies of the Prospectus, any documents
     incorporated by reference therein and any supplements and amendments
     thereto as the Manager may reasonably request. The terms "supplement" and
     "amendment" or "amend" as used in this Agreement with respect to the
     Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary prospectus shall include
     all documents filed by the Company with the Commission subsequent to the
     date of the Basic Prospectus, pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of
     1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") which are deemed to be incorporated
     by reference in the Prospectus.

          (b) Before amending or supplementing the Registration Statement or
     the Prospectus, in each case with respect to the Offered Securities, to
     furnish the Manager a copy of each such proposed amendment or supplement.

          (c) If, during such period after the commencement of the public
     offering of the Offered Securities as in the opinion of counsel for the
     Underwriters the Prospectus is required by law to be delivered with
     respect thereto, any event shall occur as a result of which the Prospectus
     as then amended or supplemented would include any untrue statement of a
     material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the state
     ments therein, in the light of the circumstances then existing, not
     misleading, or if it is necessary to amend or supplement the Prospectus to
     comply with law, forthwith at its own expense, to amend or to supplement
     the Prospectus and to furnish such amendment or supplement to the
     Underwriters, so as to correct such statement or omission or effect such
     compliance.


                                       4

<PAGE>


          (d) To qualify the Offered Securities for offer and sale under the
     securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as the Manager shall
     reasonably request and to pay all expenses (including fees and disburse
     ments of counsel) in connection with such qualification and in connection
     with the determination of the eligibility of the Offered Securities for
     investment under the laws of such jurisdictions as the Manager may
     designate; provided, however, that in connection therewith the Company
     shall not be required to qualify as a foreign corporation or to file a
     general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction.

          (e) To make generally available to the Company's securityholders as
     soon as practicable an earnings statement covering a twelve month period
     beginning after the date of the Underwriting Agreement, which shall
     satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as
     amended, and Rule 158 thereunder.

          (f) Whether or not any sale of Offered Securities is consummated, to
     pay all expenses incident to the performance of its obligations under this
     Agreement, including: (i) the preparation and filing of the Registration
     statement and the Prospectus and all amendments and supplements thereto,
     (ii) the preparation, issuance and delivery of the Offered Securities,
     (iii) the fees and disbursements of the Company's counsel and accountants
     and of the Trustees and their counsel, (iv) the qualification of the
     Offered Securities under securities or blue sky laws in accordance with
     the provisions of Section VI(d), including filing fees and the fees and
     disbursements of counsel for the Underwriters in connection therewith and
     in connection with the preparation of any blue sky or Legal Investment
     Memoranda, (v) the printing and delivery to the Underwriters in quantities
     as hereinabove stated of copies of the Registration Statement and all
     amendments thereto and of the Prospectus and any amendments or supplements
     thereto, (vi) the printing and delivery to the Underwriters of copies of
     any blue sky or Legal Investment Memoranda, (vii) any fees charged by
     rating agencies for the rating of the Offered Securities, (viii) all
     document production charges of counsel to the Underwriters (but not
     including their fees for professional services in connection with the
     preparation of this Agreement), (ix) all costs and expenses, if any,
     incident to listing the Offered Securities on any national securities
     exchange and (x) any filing fees in connection with any review of the
     offering of the Offered Securities by the National Association of
     Securities Dealers, Inc.


                                                5

<PAGE>


                                      VII.

     The Company represents and warrants to each Underwriter that:

          (a) the Registration Statement has been declared effective by the
     Commission under the Securities Act; no stop order suspending the
     effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued and no
     proceeding for that purpose has been instituted or, to the knowledge of
     the Company, threatened by the Commission; and the Registration Statement
     and Prospectus (as amended or supplemented if the Company shall have
     furnished any amendments or supplements thereto) comply, or will comply,
     as the case may be, in all material respects with the Securities Act and
     the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, and the rules and regulations
     of the Commission thereunder (collectively, the "Trust Indenture Act"),
     and do not and will not, as of the applicable effective date as to the
     Registration Statement and any amendment thereto and as of the date of the
     Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto, 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, in the
     light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and
     the Prospectus, as amended or supplemented at the Closing Date, if
     applicable, will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or
     omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in
     the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;
     provided, however, that the foregoing repre sentations and warranties
     shall not apply to (i) that part of the Registration Statement which
     constitutes the Statement of Eligibility and Qualification (Form T-1)
     under the Trust Indenture Act of the Trustee, and (ii) statements or
     omissions in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus made in reliance
     upon and in conformity with information relating to any Underwriter
     furnished to the Company in writing by such Underwriter through the
     Representatives expressly for use therein;

          (b) the documents incorporated by reference in the Prospectus, when
     they became effective or were filed with the Commission, as the case may
     be, conformed in all material respects to the requirements of the
     Securities Act or the Exchange Act, as applicable; and any further
     documents so filed and incorporated by reference in the Prospectus or any
     further amendment or supplement thereto, when such documents become
     effective or are filed with the Commission, as the case may be, will
     conform in all material respects to the requirements of the Securities Act
     or the Exchange Act, as applicable.

     The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter and
each person, if any, who controls such Underwriter within the meaning of


                                       6

<PAGE>


either Section 15 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or Section 20 of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, from and against any and all
losses, claims, damages and liabilities caused by any untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration
Statement, any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus (if used within the
period set forth in paragraph (c) of Article VI hereof and as amended or
supplemented if the Company shall have furnished any amendments or supplements
thereto) or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading, except to the extent that such losses, claims, damages
or liabilities are caused by any such untrue statement or omission or alleged
untrue statement or omission based upon information furnished in writing to the
Company by any Underwriter expressly for use therein; provided, however, that
the foregoing indemnity with respect to preliminary prospectuses shall not
inure to the benefit of any Underwriter (or to the benefit of any person
controlling such Underwriter) to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage
or liability of such Underwriter or such controlling person results from the
fact that a copy of the Prospectus was not sent or given to any person at or
prior to the written confirmation of the sale of such Offered Securities to
such person. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability that
the Company may otherwise have.

     Each Underwriter agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its
directors, its officers who sign the Registration Statement and any person
controlling the Company to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the
Company to each Underwriter, but only with reference to information relating to
such Underwriter furnished in writing by such Underwriter expressly for use in
the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus. The
Company acknowledges that the statements set forth under the heading
"Underwriting" constitute the only information furnished in writing by or on
behalf of the several Underwriters for inclusion in the documents referred to
in the foregoing indemnity and the Underwriters confirm that such statements
are correct.

     If any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be
instituted involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought
pursuant to either of the two preceding paragraphs, such person (the
"indemnified party") shall promptly notify the person against whom such
indemnity may be sought (the "indemnifying party") in writing and the
indemnifying party, upon request of the indemnified party, shall retain counsel
reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified
party and any others the indemnifying party may designate in such proceeding
and shall pay the fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such
proceeding. In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right
to retain its own counsel,


                                       7

<PAGE>


but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such
indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party
shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel or (ii) the named
parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both
the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both
parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential
differing interests between them. It is understood that the indemnifying party
shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same
jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one
separate firm for all such indemnified parties. Such firm shall be designated
in writing by the Manager in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to the
second preceding paragraph and by the Company in the case of parties
indemnified pursuant to the first preceding paragraph. The indemnifying party
shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its
written consent but if settled with such consent or if there be a final
judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the
indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such
settlement or judgment.

     If the indemnification provided for in this Article VII is unavailable to
an indemnified party under the second or third paragraphs hereof or
insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred
to therein, then each indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such
indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such
indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities
(i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits
received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other from
the offering of the Offered Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by
clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i)
above but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the
Underwriters on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which
resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other
relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the
Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other in connection with
the offering of the Offered Securities shall be deemed to be in the same
proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering of such Offered
Securities (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the
total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters in
respect thereof. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the
Underwriters on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other
things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or
the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to
information supplied by the Company or by the Underwriters and the parties'
relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or
prevent such statement or omission.

     The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and
equitable if contribution pursuant to this Article VII were determined by pro
rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take
account of the considerations referred to in the immediately preceding
paragraph. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of
the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in the immediately
preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set
forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such
indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action
or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article VII, no Underwriter
shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the
total price at which the Offered Securities underwritten and distributed to the
public by such Underwriter were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any
damages which such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of
such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No
person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section
11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person
who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriter's
obligations to contribute pursuant to this Article VII are several, in
proportion to the respective principal amounts of Offered Securities purchased
by each of such Underwriters, and not joint.

     The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Article VII
and the representations and warranties of the Company in this Agreement shall
remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination
of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by any Underwriter or on behalf
of any Underwriter or any person controlling any Underwriter or by or on behalf
of the Company, its directors or officers or any person controlling the Company
and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the Offered Securities.


                                     VIII.

     This Agreement shall be subject to termination in the absolute discretion
of the Manager, by notice given to the Company, if prior to the Closing Date
(i) trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange shall have
been suspended or materially limited, (ii) a general moratorium on commercial
banking activities in the State of New York shall have been declared by either
Federal or New York State authorities or (iii) there shall have occurred any
material outbreak or escalation of hostilities or other national or
international calamity or crisis of such magnitude and severity in its effect
on the financial markets of the United States as, in the reasonable judgment of
the Manager, to prevent or materially to impair the marketing, or enforcement
of contracts for sale, of the Offered Securities on the terms and in the manner
contemplated by the Prospectus.

                                      IX.

     If any one or more of the Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase
Offered Securities which it or they have agreed to purchase hereunder, and the
aggregate offering price of the Offered Securities which such defaulting
Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase is not
more than one-tenth of the aggregate offering price of all Offered Securities,
the other Underwriters shall be obligated severally in the proportions which
the aggregate offering price of the Offered Securities set forth opposite their
names in the Underwriting Agreement bear to the aggregate offering price of the
Offered Securities set forth opposite the names of all such non-defaulting
Underwriters, or in such other proportions as the Manager may specify, to
purchase the Offered Securities which such defaulting Underwriter or
Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase. If any Underwriter or
Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Offered Securities and the
offering price of the Offered Securities with respect to which such default
occurs is more than one-tenth of the offering price of all Offered Securities
and arrangements satisfactory to the Manager and the Company for the purchase
of such Offered Securities are not made within 36 hours after such default,
this Agreement will terminate without liability on the part of any
non-defaulting Underwriter or the Company. Any action taken under this
paragraph shall not relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability in
respect of any default of such Underwriter under this Agreement.


                                       X.

     This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which
shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and
hereto were upon the same instrument.

     This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the
laws of the State of New York.

     interest thereon and, if other than as provided in Section 2.08, the terms
     upon which Unregistered Securities of any series may be exchanged for
     Registered Securities of such series and vice versa;

          (16) whether and under what circumstances the Issuer will pay
     additional amounts on the Securities of the series held by a Person who is
     not a U.S. Person in respect of any tax, assessment or governmental charge


                                       10
<PAGE>


     withheld or deducted and, if so, whether the Issuer will have the option
     to redeem such Securities in order to avoid the obligation to pay future
     additional amounts;

          (17) 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;

          (18) the terms and conditions, if any, upon which the Securities of
     such series may or shall be convertible into or exchangeable or
     exercisable for or payable in, among other things, other securities
     (whether or not issued by, or the obligation of, the Issuer), instruments,
     contracts, currencies, commodities or other forms of property, rights or
     interests or any combination of the foregoing;

          (19) any other events of default or covenants with respect to the
     Securities of such series; and

          (20) any other terms of the series, including provisions for payment
     by wire transfers if any, or modifications of the definition of Business
     Day, (which terms shall not be inconsistent with the provisions of this
     Indenture).

     All Securities of any one series and Coupons, if any, appertaining
thereto, shall be substantially identical, except in the case of Registered
Securities as to denomination and except as may otherwise be provided by or
pursuant to the Board Resolution or Officer's Certificate referred to above or
as set forth in any such indenture supplemental hereto. All Securities of any
one series need not be issued at the same time and may be issued from time to
time, consistent with the terms of this Indenture, if so provided by or
pursuant to such Board Resolution, such Officer's Certificate or in any such
indenture supplemental hereto.

     SECTION 2.04. Authentication and Delivery of Securities. The Issuer may
deliver Securities of any series having attached thereto appropriate Coupons,
if any, executed by the Issuer to the Trustee for authentication together with
the applicable documents referred to below in this Section, and the Trustee
shall thereupon authenticate and deliver such Securities to or upon the order
of the Issuer (contained in the Issuer Order referred to below in this Section)
or pursuant to such procedures acceptable to the Trustee and to such recipients
as may be specified from time to time by an Issuer Order. The maturity date,
original issue date, interest rate and any other terms of the Securities of
such series and


                                       11
<PAGE>


Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto (including Redemption Notice Periods)
shall be determined by or pursuant to such Issuer Order and procedures. In
authenticating such Securities and accepting the additional responsibilities
under this Indenture in relation to such Securities, the Trustee shall be
entitled to receive (in the case of subparagraphs 2.04(a)(ii), 2.04(a)(iii) and
2.04(a)(iv) below only at or before the time of the first request of the Issuer
to the Trustee to authenticate Securities of such series) and (subject to
Section 6.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon, unless and until such
documents have been superseded or revoked:

          (i) an Issuer Order requesting such authentication and setting forth
     delivery instructions if the Securities and Coupons, if any, are not to be
     delivered to the Issuer, provided that, with respect to Securities of a
     series subject to a Periodic Offering, (a) such Issuer Order may be
     delivered by the Issuer to the Trustee prior to the delivery to the
     Trustee of such Securities for authentication and delivery, (b) the
     Trustee shall authenticate and deliver Securities of such series for
     original issue from time to time, in an aggregate principal amount not
     exceeding the aggregate principal amount established for such series,
     pursuant to an Issuer Order or pursuant to procedures acceptable to the
     Trustee as may be specified from time to time by an Issuer Order, (c) the
     maturity date or dates, original issue date or dates, interest rate or
     rates and any other terms of Securities of such series (including
     Redemption Notice Periods) shall be determined by an Issuer Order or
     pursuant to such procedures and (d) if provided for in such procedures,
     such Issuer Order may authorize authentication and delivery pursuant to
     oral or electronic instructions from the Issuer or its duly authorized
     agent or agents, which oral instructions shall be promptly confirmed in
     writing;

          (ii) any Board Resolution, Officer's Certificate and/or executed
     supplemental indenture referred to in Sections 2.01 and 2.03 by or
     pursuant to which the forms and terms of the Securities and Coupons, if
     any, were established;

          (iii) an Officer's Certificate setting forth the form or forms and
     terms of the Securities and Coupons, if any, stating that the form or
     forms and terms of the Securities and Coupons, if any, have been
     established pursuant to Sections 2.01 and 2.03 and comply with this
     Indenture, and covering such other matters as the Trustee may reasonably
     request; and

          (iv) at the option of the Issuer, either an Opinion of Counsel, or a
     letter addressed to the Trustee permitting it to rely on an Opinion of
     Counsel, substantially to the effect that:


                                       12
<PAGE>


               (A) the forms of the Securities and Coupons, if any, have been
          duly authorized and established in conformity with the provisions of
          this Indenture;

               (B) in the case of an underwritten offering, the terms of the
          Securities have been duly authorized and established in conformity
          with the provisions of this Indenture, and, in the case of an
          offering that is not underwritten, certain terms of the Securities
          have been established pursuant to a Board Resolution, an Officer's
          Certificate or a supplemental indenture in accordance with this
          Indenture, and when such other terms as are to be established
          pursuant to procedures set forth in an Issuer Order shall have been
          established, all such terms will have been duly authorized by the
          Issuer and will have been established in conformity with the
          provisions of this Indenture;

               (C) when the Securities and Coupons, if any, have been executed
          by the Issuer and authenticated by the Trustee in accordance with the
          provisions of this Indenture and delivered to and duly paid for by
          the purchasers thereof, they will have been duly issued under this
          Indenture and will be valid and binding obligations of the Issuer,
          enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, and will be
          entitled to the benefits of this Indenture; and

               (D) the execution and delivery by the Issuer of, and the
          performance by the Issuer of its obligations under, the Securities
          and Coupons, if any, will not contravene any provision of applicable
          law or the certificate of incorporation or by-laws of the Issuer or
          any agreement or other instrument binding upon the Issuer or any of
          its consolidated subsidiaries that is material to the Issuer and its
          subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or, to the best of such counsel's
          knowledge, any judgment, order or decree of any U.S. governmental
          body, agency or court having jurisdiction over the Issuer or any of
          its consolidated subsidiaries, and no consent, approval or
          authorization of any U.S. governmental body or agency is required for
          the performance by the Issuer of its obligations under the Securities
          and Coupons, if any, except such as are specified and have been
          obtained and such as may be required by the securities or blue sky
          laws of the various states in connection with the offer and sale of
          the Securities and Coupons, if any.


                                       13
<PAGE>


     In rendering such opinions, such counsel may qualify any opinions as to
enforceability by stating that such enforceability may be limited by
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, liquidation, moratorium and other
similar laws affecting the rights and remedies of creditors and is subject to
general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is
considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). Such counsel may rely, as to
all matters governed by the laws of jurisdictions other than the State of New
York and the federal law of the United States, upon opinions of other counsel
(copies of which shall be delivered to the Trustee), who shall be counsel
reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, in which case the opinion shall state
that such counsel believes he and the Trustee are entitled so to rely. Such
counsel may also state that, insofar as such opinion involves factual matters,
he has relied, to the extent he deems proper, upon certificates of officers of
the Issuer and its subsidiaries and certificates of public officials.

     The Trustee shall have the right to decline to authenticate and deliver
any Securities under this Section if the Trustee, being advised by counsel,
determines that such action may not lawfully be taken by the Issuer or if the
Trustee in good faith by its board of directors or board of trustees, executive
committee, or a trust committee of directors or trustees or Responsible
Officers shall determine that such action would expose the Trustee to personal
liability to existing Holders or would affect the Trustee's own rights, duties
or immunities under the Securities, this Indenture or otherwise.

     If the Issuer shall establish pursuant to Section 2.03 that the Securities
of a series are to be issued in the form of one or more Registered Global
Securities, then the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall, in accordance
with this Section and the Issuer Order with respect to such series,
authenticate and deliver one or more Registered Global Securities that (i)
shall represent and shall be denominated in an amount equal to the aggregate
principal amount of all of the Securities of such series issued and not yet
cancelled, (ii) shall be registered in the name of the Depositary for such
Registered Global Security or Securities or the nominee of such Depositary,
(iii) shall be delivered by the Trustee to such Depositary or pursuant to such
Depositary's instructions and (iv) shall bear a legend substantially to the
following effect: "Unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for
Securities in definitive registered form, this Security may not be transferred
except as a whole by the Depositary to the nominee of the Depositary or by a
nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the
Depositary or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary
or a nominee of such successor Depositary."

     Each Depositary designated pursuant to Section 2.03 must, at the time of
its designation and at all times while it serves as Depositary, be a clearing
agency


                                       14
<PAGE>


registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and any other applicable
statute or regulation.

     SECTION 2.05. Execution of Securities. The Securities and, if applicable,
each Coupon appertaining thereto shall be signed on behalf of the Issuer by the
chairman of its Board of Directors, its president, the chairman of its
executive committee, any vice chairman of its Board of Directors, the General
Counsel, any Managing Director or any vice president under its corporate seal
attested by its secretary or any assistant secretary. Such signatures may be
the manual or facsimile signatures of the present or any future such officers.
The seal of the Issuer may be in the form of a facsimile thereof and may be
impressed, affixed, imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the Securities and, if
applicable, each Coupon appertaining thereto. Typographical and other minor
errors or defects in any such reproduction of the seal or any such signature
shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any Security that has been
duly authenticated and delivered by the Trustee.

     In case any officer of the Issuer who shall have signed any of the
Securities or Coupons, if any, shall cease to be such officer before the
Security so signed (or the Security to which the Coupon so signed appertains)
shall be authenticated and delivered by the Trustee or disposed of by the
Issuer, such Security or Coupon nevertheless may be authenticated and delivered
or disposed of as though the person who signed such Security or Coupon had not
ceased to be such officer of the Issuer; and any Security or Coupon may be
signed on behalf of the Issuer by such persons as, at the actual date of the
execution of such Security or Coupon, shall be the proper officers of the
Issuer, although at the date of the execution and delivery of this Indenture
any such person was not such an officer.

     SECTION 2.06. Certificate of Authentication. Only such Securities as shall
bear thereon a certificate of authentication substantially in the form
hereinbefore recited, executed by the Trustee by the manual signature of one of
its authorized officers, shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture or
be valid or obligatory for any purpose. No Coupon shall be entitled to the
benefits of this Indenture or shall be valid or obligatory for any purpose
until the certificate of authentication on the Security to which such Coupon
appertains shall have been duly executed by the Trustee. The execution of such
certificate by the Trustee upon any Security executed by the Issuer shall be
conclusive evidence that the Security so authenticated has been duly
authenticated and delivered hereunder and that the Holder is entitled to the
benefits of this Indenture.

     SECTION 2.07. Denomination and Date of Securities; Payments of Interest.
The Securities of each series shall be issuable as Registered Securities or
Unregistered Securities in such denominations as shall be specified as


                                       15
<PAGE>


contemplated by Section 2.03. In the absence of any such specifications with
respect to the Registered Securities of any series, Registered Securities shall
be issued in denomination of $1,000 and any integral multiples thereof. In the
absence of any such specifications with respect to the Unregistered Securities
of any series, Unregistered Securities shall be issued in denomination of
$1,000 and $5,000. The Securities of each series shall be numbered, lettered,
or otherwise distinguished in such manner or in accordance with such plan as
the officers of the Issuer executing the same may determine as evidenced by the
execution and authentication thereof.

     Each Registered Security shall be dated the date of its authentication.
Each Unregistered Security shall be dated as provided in the resolution or
resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Issuer or the supplemental
indenture referred to in Section 2.03. The Securities of each series shall bear
interest, if any, from the date, and such interest shall be payable on the
dates, established as contemplated by Section 2.03.

     The Person in whose name any Registered Security of any series is
registered at the close of business on any record date applicable to a
particular series with respect to any interest payment date for such series
shall be entitled to receive the interest, if any, payable on such interest
payment date notwithstanding any transfer or exchange of such Registered
Security subsequent to the record date and prior to such interest payment date,
except if and to the extent the Issuer shall default in the payment of the
interest due on such interest payment date for such series, in which case such
defaulted interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names Outstanding
Registered Securities for such series are registered at the close of business
on a subsequent record date (which shall be not less than ten business days
prior to the date of payment of such defaulted interest) established by notice
given by mail by or on behalf of the Issuer to the holders of Registered
Securities not less than 15 days preceding such subsequent record date. The
term "record date" as used with respect to any interest payment date (except a
date for payment of defaulted interest) for the Securities of any series shall
mean the date specified as such in the terms of the Registered Securities of
such series as contemplated by Section 2.03, or, if no such date is so
specified, if such interest payment date is the first day of a calendar month,
the fifteenth day of the next preceding calendar month or, if such interest
payment date is the fifteenth day of a calendar month, the first day of such
calendar month, whether or not such record date is a Business Day.

     Any defaulted interest payable in respect of any Unregistered Security
shall be payable pursuant to such procedures as may be satisfactory to the
Trustee in such manner that there is no discrimination as between the holders
of Registered Securities and Unregistered Securities of the same series and
notice of the payment date therefor shall be given by the Trustee in the name
and at the


                                       16
<PAGE>


expense of the Issuer by publication at least once in an Authorized Newspaper
in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, and at least once in an
Authorized Newspaper in London (and, if required by Section 3.06, at least once
in an Authorized Newspaper in Luxembourg). In case an Unregistered Security is
surrendered for exchange for a Registered Security after the close of business
on any record date for the payment of defaulted interest and before the opening
of business on the proposed date of payment of such defaulted interest, the
Coupon appertaining to such surrendered Unregistered Security and due for
payment on such proposed date of payment will not be surrendered with such
surrendered Unregistered Security and interest payable on such proposed date of
payment will be made only to the holder of such Coupon on such proposed date.

     SECTION 2.08. Registration, Transfer and Exchange. The Issuer will keep or
cause to be kept at an office or agency to be maintained for the purpose as
provided in Section 3.02 for each series of Securities a register or registers
in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, it will
register, and will register the transfer of, or cause the registration of the
transfer of, Registered Securities as in this Article provided. Such register
shall be in written form in the English language or in any other form capable
of being converted into such form within a reasonable time. At all reasonable
times such register or registers shall be open for inspection by the Trustee.

     Upon due presentation for registration of transfer of any Registered
Security of any series at any such office or agency to be maintained for the
purpose as provided in Section 3.02, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee
shall authenticate and deliver in the name of the transferee or transferees a
new Registered Security or Registered Securities of the same series, maturity
date, interest rate and original issue date in authorized denominations for a
like aggregate principal amount.

     Unregistered Securities (except for any temporary global Unregistered
Securities) and Coupons (except for Coupons attached to any temporary global
Unregistered Securities) shall be transferable by delivery.

     At the option of the Holder thereof, Registered Securities of any series
(other than a Registered Global Security, except as set forth below) may be
exchanged for a Registered Security or Registered Securities of such series in
other authorized denominations, in an equal aggregate principal amount, upon
surrender of such Registered Securities to be exchanged at the office or agency
of the Issuer that shall be maintained for such purpose in accordance with
Section 3.02 and upon payment, if the Issuer shall so require, of the charges
hereinafter provided. If the Securities of any series are issued in both
registered and unregistered form, except as otherwise specified pursuant to
Section 2.03, at the option of the Holder thereof, Unregistered Securities of
any series may be


                                       17
<PAGE>


exchanged for Registered Securities of such series, maturity date and interest
rate of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount,
upon surrender of such Unregistered Securities to be exchanged at the agency of
the Issuer that shall be maintained for such purpose in accordance with Section
3.02, with, in the case of Unregistered Securities that have Coupons attached,
all unmatured Coupons and all matured Coupons in default appertaining thereto,
and upon payment, if the Issuer shall so require, of the charges hereinafter
provided. At the option of the Holder thereof, if Unregistered Securities of
any series, maturity date, interest rate and original issue date are issued in
more than one authorized denomination, except as otherwise specified pursuant
to Section 2.03, such Unregistered Securities may be exchanged for Unregistered
Securities of such series, maturity date, interest rate and original issue date
of other authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount,
upon surrender of such Unregistered Securities to be exchanged at the agency of
the Issuer that shall be maintained for such purpose in accordance with Section
3.02 or as specified pursuant to Section 2.03, with, in the case of
Unregistered Securities that have Coupons attached, all unmatured Coupons and
all matured Coupons in default thereto appertaining, and upon payment, if the
Issuer shall so require, of the charges hereinafter provided. Unless otherwise
specified pursuant to Section 2.03, Registered Securities of any series may not
be exchanged for Unregistered Securities of such series. Whenever any
Securities and the Coupons appertaining thereto, if any, are so surrendered for
exchange, the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver, the Securities and the Coupons appertaining thereto, if any, which the
Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, in case an Unregistered Security of any
series is surrendered at any such office or agency in exchange for a Registered
Security of the same series after the close of business at such office or
agency on any record date and before the opening of business at such office or
agency on the relevant interest payment date, such Unregistered Security shall
be surrendered without the Coupon relating to such interest payment date or
proposed date of payment, as the case may be.

     All Registered Securities presented for registration of transfer,
exchange, redemption or payment shall (if so required by the Issuer or the
Trustee) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument or
instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Trustee duly
executed by, the Holder or his attorney duly authorized in writing.

     The Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or
other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any exchange
or registration of transfer of Securities. No service charge shall be made for
any such transaction.


                                       18
<PAGE>


     The Issuer shall not be required to exchange or register a transfer of (a)
any Securities of any series for a period of 15 days next preceding the first
mailing of notice of redemption of Securities of such series to be redeemed,
(b) any Securities selected, called or being called for redemption in whole or
in part, except, in the case of any Security where public notice has been given
that such Security is to be redeemed in part, the portion thereof not so to be
redeemed and except that an Unregistered Security may be exchanged for a
Registered Security of the same series if such Registered Security is
immediately surrendered for redemption or (c) any Securities if the Holder
thereof has exercised any right to require the Issuer to repurchase such
Securities, in whole or in part, except, in the case of any Security to be
repurchased in part, the portion thereof not so to be repurchased.

     Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.08, unless and until
it is exchanged in whole or in part for Securities in definitive registered
form, a Registered Global Security representing all or a portion of the
Securities of a series may not be transferred except as a whole by the
Depositary for such series to a nominee of such Depositary or by a nominee of
such Depositary to such Depositary or another nominee of such Depositary or by
such Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary for such series
or a nominee of such successor Depositary.

     If at any time the Depositary for any Registered Securities of a series
represented by one or more Registered Global Securities notifies the Issuer
that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Registered
Securities or if at any time the Depositary for such Registered Securities
shall no longer be eligible under Section 2.04, the Issuer shall appoint a
successor Depositary eligible under Section 2.04 with respect to such
Registered Securities. If a successor Depositary eligible under Section 2.04
for such Registered Securities is not appointed by the Issuer within 90 days
after the Issuer receives such notice or becomes aware of such ineligibility,
the Issuer's election pursuant to Section 2.03 that such Registered Securities
be represented by one or more Registered Global Securities shall no longer be
effective and the Issuer will execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of an
Officer's Certificate for the authentication and delivery of definitive
Securities of such series, will authenticate and deliver, Securities of such
series in definitive registered form without coupons, in any authorized
denominations, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount
of the Registered Global Security or Securities representing such Registered
Securities in exchange for such Registered Global Security or Securities.

     The Issuer may at any time and in its sole discretion determine that the
Registered Securities of any series issued in the form of one or more
Registered Global Securities shall no longer be represented by a Registered
Global Security or Securities. In such event the Issuer will execute, and the
Trustee, upon receipt


                                       19
<PAGE>


of an Officer's Certificate for the authentication and delivery of definitive
Securities of such series, will authenticate and deliver, Securities of such
series in definitive registered form without coupons, in any authorized
denominations, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount
of the Registered Global Security or Securities representing such Registered
Securities, in exchange for such Registered Global Security or Securities.

     If specified by the Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03 with respect to
Securities represented by a Registered Global Security, the Depositary for such
Registered Global Security may surrender such Registered Global Security in
exchange in whole or in part for Securities of the same series in definitive
registered form on such terms as are acceptable to the Issuer and such
Depositary. Thereupon, the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver, without service charge,

          (i) to the Person specified by such Depositary a new Registered
     Security or Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations
     as requested by such Person, in an aggregate principal amount equal to and
     in exchange for such Person's beneficial interest in the Registered Global
     Security; and

          (ii) to such Depositary a new Registered Global Security in a
     denomination equal to the difference, if any, between the principal amount
     of the surrendered Registered Global Security and the aggregate principal
     amount of Registered Securities authenticated and delivered pursuant to
     clause 2.08(a)(i) above.

     Upon the exchange of a Registered Global Security for Securities in
definitive registered form without coupons, in authorized denominations, such
Registered Global Security shall be cancelled by the Trustee or an agent of the
Issuer or the Trustee. Securities in definitive registered form without coupons
issued in exchange for a Registered Global Security pursuant to this Section
2.08 shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as
the Depositary for such Registered Global Security, pursuant to instructions
from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the
Trustee or an agent of the Issuer or the Trustee. The Trustee or such agent
shall deliver such Securities to or as directed by the Persons in whose names
such Securities are so registered.

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


                                       20
<PAGE>


     Notwithstanding anything herein or in the terms of any series of
Securities to the contrary, neither the Issuer nor the Trustee (which shall
rely on an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel) shall be required
to exchange any Unregistered Security for a Registered Security if such
exchange would result in adverse Federal income tax consequences to the Issuer
(including, without limitation, the inability of the Issuer to deduct from its
income, as computed for Federal income tax purposes, the interest payable on
the Unregistered Securities) under then applicable United States Federal income
tax laws.

     SECTION 2.09. Mutilated, Defaced, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities.
In case any temporary or definitive Security or any Coupon appertaining to any
Security shall become mutilated, defaced or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the
Issuer in its discretion may execute, and upon the written request of any
officer of the Issuer, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, a new
Security of the same series, maturity date, interest rate and original issue
date, bearing a number or other distinguishing symbol not contemporaneously
outstanding, in exchange and substitution for the mutilated or defaced
Security, or in lieu of and in substitution for the Security so destroyed, lost
or stolen with Coupons corresponding to the Coupons appertaining to the
Security so mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen, or in exchange or
substitution for the Security to which such mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost
or stolen Coupon appertained, with Coupons appertaining thereto corresponding
to the Coupons so mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen. In every case
the applicant for a substitute Security or Coupon shall furnish to the Issuer
and to the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee such security or
indemnity as may be required by them to indemnify and defend and to save each
of them harmless and, in every case of destruction, loss or theft, evidence to
their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of such Security or Coupon
and of the ownership thereof.

     Upon the issuance of any substitute Security or Coupon, the Issuer 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. In case
any Security or Coupon which has matured or is about to mature or has been
called for redemption in full, as the case may be, shall become mutilated or
defaced or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Issuer may, instead of issuing a
substitute Security or Coupon, pay or authorize the payment of the same
(without surrender thereof except in the case of a mutilated or defaced
Security or Coupon), if the applicant for such payment shall furnish to the
Issuer and to the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee such
security or indemnity as any of them may require to save each of them harmless,
and, in every case of destruction, loss or theft, the applicant shall also
furnish to the Issuer and the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the
Trustee evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of
such Security or Coupon and of the ownership thereof.

     Every substitute Security or Coupon of any series issued pursuant to the
provisions of this Section by virtue of the fact that any such Security or
Coupon is destroyed, lost or stolen shall constitute an additional contractual
obligation of the Issuer, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security
or Coupon shall be at any time enforceable by anyone and shall be entitled to
all the benefits of (but shall be subject to all the limitations of rights set
forth in) this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other
Securities or Coupons of such series duly authenticated and delivered
hereunder. All Securities and Coupons shall be held and owned upon the express
condition that, to the extent permitted by law, the foregoing provisions are
exclusive with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, defaced or
destroyed, lost or stolen Securities and Coupons and shall preclude any and all
other rights or remedies notwithstanding any law or statute existing or
hereafter enacted to the contrary with respect to the replacement or payment of
negotiable instruments or other securities without their surrender.

     SECTION 2.10. Cancellation of Securities; Destruction Thereof. All
Securities and Coupons surrendered for payment, retirement, redemption,
registration of transfer or exchange, or for credit against any payment in
respect of a sinking or analogous fund, if surrendered to the Issuer or any
agent of the Issuer or the Trustee, shall be delivered to the Trustee for
cancellation or, if surrendered to the Trustee, shall be cancelled by it; and
no Securities or Coupons shall be issued in lieu thereof except as expressly
permitted by any of the provisions of this Indenture. The Trustee shall destroy
cancelled Securities and Coupons held by it and deliver a certificate of
destruction to the Issuer. If the Issuer shall acquire any of the Securities or
Coupons, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of
the indebtedness represented by such Securities or Coupons unless and until the
same are delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

     SECTION 2.11. Temporary Securities. Pending the preparation of definitive
Securities for any series, the Issuer may execute and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver temporary Securities for such series (printed,
lithographed, typewritten or otherwise reproduced, in each case in form
satisfactory to the Trustee). Temporary Securities of any series shall be
issuable as Registered Securities without Coupons, or as Unregistered
Securities with or without Coupons attached thereto, of any authorized
denomination, and substantially in the form of the definitive Securities of
such series but with such omissions, insertions and variations as may be
appropriate for temporary Registered Securities, all as may be determined by
the Issuer with the concurrence of the Trustee. Temporary Securities may
contain such references to any provisions of this Indenture as may be
appropriate. Every temporary Security shall be executed by the Issuer and be
authenticated by the Trustee upon the same conditions and in substantially the
same manner, and with like effect, as the definitive Securities. Without
unreasonable delay the Issuer shall execute and shall furnish definitive
Securities of such series and thereupon temporary


                                       22
<PAGE>


Registered Securities of such series may be surrendered in exchange therefor
without charge at each office or agency to be maintained by the Issuer for that
purpose pursuant to Section 3.02 and in the case of Unregistered Securities
together with any unmatured Coupons and any matured Coupons in default
appertaining thereto, at any agency maintained by the Issuer for such purpose
as specified pursuant to Section 2.03, and the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver in exchange for such temporary Securities of such series a like
aggregate principal amount of definitive Securities of the same series having
authorized denominations and, in the case of Unregistered Securities, having
attached thereto any appropriate Coupons. Until so exchanged, the temporary
Securities of any series and any unmatured Coupons appertaining thereto shall
be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities
of such series and any unmatured Coupons appertaining thereto unless otherwise
established pursuant to Section 2.03. The provisions of this Section are
subject to any restrictions or limitations on the issue and delivery of
temporary Unregistered Securities of any series that may be established
pursuant to Section 2.03 (including any provision that Unregistered Securities
of such series initially be issued in the form of a single global Unregistered
Security to be delivered to a depositary or agency located outside the United
States and the procedures pursuant to which definitive or global Unregistered
Securities of such series would be issued in exchange for such temporary global
Unregistered Security).

                                   ARTICLE 3
                            COVENANTS OF THE ISSUER

     SECTION 3.01. Payment of Principal and Interest. The Issuer covenants and
agrees for the benefit of each series of Securities that it will duly and
punctually pay or cause to be paid the principal of, and interest on, each of
the Securities of such series (together with any additional amounts payable
pursuant to the terms of such Securities) at the place or places, at the
respective times and in the manner provided in such Securities and in the
Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto and in this Indenture. The interest on
Unregistered Securities with Coupons attached (together with any additional
amounts payable pursuant to the terms of such Unregistered Securities) shall be
payable only upon presentation and surrender of the several Coupons for such
interest installments as are evidenced thereby as they severally mature. Except
as specified as contemplated in Section 2.03, the interest on any temporary
Unregistered Securities (together with any additional amounts payable pursuant
to the terms of such temporary Unregistered Securities) shall be paid, as to
the installments of interest evidenced by Coupons attached thereto, if any,
only upon presentation and surrender thereof, and, as to the other installments
of interest, if any, only upon presentation of such Securities for notation
thereon of the payment of such interest, in each case


                                       23
<PAGE>


subject to any restrictions that may be established pursuant to Section 2.03.
The interest on Registered Securities (together with any additional amounts
payable pursuant to the terms of such Securities) shall be payable only to or
upon the written order of the Holders thereof and, at the option of the Issuer,
may be paid by wire transfer or by mailing checks for such interest payable to
or upon the written order of such Holders at their last addresses as they
appear on the registry books of the Issuer.

     SECTION 3.02. Offices for Payments, etc. So long as any Registered
Securities are authorized for issuance pursuant to this Indenture or are
outstanding hereunder, the Issuer will maintain in the Borough of Manhattan,
The City of New York, the following for each series: an office or agency (a)
where the Registered Securities may be presented for payment and (b) where the
Registered Securities may be presented for registration of transfer and for
exchange as in this Indenture provided.

     The Issuer will maintain one or more offices or agencies in a city or
cities located outside the United States (including any city in which such an
agency is required to be maintained under the rules of any stock exchange on
which the Securities of such series are listed) where the Unregistered
Securities, if any, of each series and Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto
may be presented and surrendered for payment. No payment on any Unregistered
Security or Coupon will be made upon presentation of such Unregistered Security
or Coupon at an agency of the Issuer within the United States nor will any
payment be made by transfer to an account in, or by mail to an address in, the
United States unless pursuant to applicable United States laws and regulations
then in effect, such payment can be made without adverse tax consequences to
the Issuer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, payments in Dollars on Unregistered
Securities of any series and Coupons appertaining thereto which are payable in
Dollars may be made at an agency of the Issuer maintained in the Borough of
Manhattan, The City of New York if such payment in Dollars at each agency
maintained by the Issuer outside the United States for payment on such
Unregistered Securities is illegal or effectively precluded by exchange
controls or other similar restrictions.

     The Issuer will maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New
York, an office or agency where notices and demands to or upon the Issuer in
respect of the Securities of any series, the Coupons appertaining thereto or
this Indenture may be served.

     The Issuer will give to the Trustee written notice of the location of any
such office or agency and of any change of location thereof. In case the Issuer
shall fail to maintain any such office or agency or shall fail to give such
notice of the location or of any change in the location thereof, presentations
and demands may be made and notices may be served at the Corporate Trust
Office.


                                       24
<PAGE>


     The Issuer may from time to time designate one or more additional offices
or agencies where the Securities of a series and any Coupons appertaining
thereto may be presented for payment, where the Securities of that series may
be presented for exchange as provided in this Indenture and pursuant to Section
2.03 and where the Registered Securities of that series may be presented for
registration of transfer as in this Indenture provided, and the Issuer may from
time to time rescind any such designation, as the Issuer may deem desirable or
expedient; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in
any manner relieve the Issuer of its obligation to maintain the agencies
provided for in this Section. The Issuer will give to the Trustee prompt
written notice of any such designation or rescission thereof.

     SECTION 3.03. Appointment to Fill a Vacancy in Office of Trustee. The
Issuer, whenever necessary to avoid or fill a vacancy in the office of Trustee,
will appoint, in the manner provided in Section 6.10, a Trustee, so that there
shall at all times be a Trustee with respect to each series of Securities
hereunder.

     SECTION 3.04. Paying Agents. Whenever the Issuer shall appoint a paying
agent other than the Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series, it
will cause such paying agent to execute and deliver to the Trustee an
instrument in which such agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the
provisions of this Section,

          (a) that it will hold all sums received by it as such agent for the
     payment of the principal of or interest on the Securities of such series
     (whether such sums have been paid to it by the Issuer or by any other
     obligor on the Securities of such series) in trust for the benefit of the
     holders of the Securities of such series or the Coupons appertaining
     thereto, if any, or of the Trustee, and

          (b) that it will give the Trustee notice of any failure by the Issuer
     (or by any other obligor on the Securities of such series) to make any
     payment of the principal of or interest on the Securities of such series
     when the same shall be due and payable.

     The Issuer will, on or prior to each due date of the principal of or
interest on the Securities of such series, deposit with the paying agent a sum
or sums in the required currencies sufficient to pay such principal or interest
so becoming due, and (unless such paying agent is the Trustee) the Issuer will
promptly notify the Trustee of any failure to take such action.

     If the Issuer shall act as its own paying agent with respect to the
Securities of any series, it will, on or before each due date of the principal
of or interest on the Securities of such series, set aside, segregate and hold
in trust for the benefit of


                                       25
<PAGE>


the Holders of the Securities of such series or the Coupons appertaining
thereto a sum sufficient to pay such principal or interest so becoming due. The
Issuer will promptly notify the Trustee of any failure to take such action.

     Anything in this Section to the contrary notwithstanding, but subject to
Section 10.01, the Issuer may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining a
satisfaction and discharge with respect to one or more or all series of
Securities hereunder, or for any other reason, pay or cause to be paid to the
Trustee all sums held in trust for any such series by the Issuer or any paying
agent hereunder, as required by this Section, such sums to be held by the
Trustee upon the trusts herein contained.

     Anything in this Section to the contrary notwithstanding, the agreement to
hold sums in trust as provided in this Section is subject to the provisions of
Sections 10.03 and 10.04.

     SECTION 3.05. Written Statement to Trustee. The Issuer will deliver to the
Trustee on or before May 1 in each year (beginning with May 1, 2002) a
written statement, signed by two of its officers (which need not comply with
Section 11.05) stating that in the course of the performance of their duties as
officers of the Issuer they would normally have knowledge of any default by the
Issuer in the performance of any covenants contained in this Indenture, stating
whether or not they have knowledge of any such default and, if so specifying
each such default of which the signers have knowledge and the nature thereof.

     SECTION 3.06. Luxembourg Publications. In the event of the publication of
any notice pursuant to Section 5.11, 6.10(a), 6.11, 8.02, 10.04, 12.02 or
12.05, the party making such publication in the Borough of Manhattan, The City
of New York and London shall also, to the extent that notice is required to be
given to Holders of Securities of any series by applicable Luxembourg law or
stock exchange regulation, as evidenced by an Officers' Certificate delivered
to such party, make a similar publication in Luxembourg.

        SECURITYHOLDERS LISTS AND REPORTS BY THE ISSUER AND THE TRUSTEE

     SECTION 4.01. Issuer to Furnish Trustee Information as to Names and
Addresses of Securityholders. The Issuer covenants and agrees that it will
furnish or cause to be furnished to the Trustee a list in such form as the
Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of the Holders of the
Registered Securities of such series pursuant to Section 312 of the Trust
Indenture Act of 1939:


                                       26
<PAGE>


          (a) not more than 15 days after each record date for the payment of
     interest on such Registered Securities, as herein above specified, as of
     such record date and on dates to be determined pursuant to Section 2.03
     for non-interest bearing Registered Securities in each year, and

          (b) at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, within
     30 days after receipt by the Issuer of any such request as of a date not
     more than 15 days prior to the time such information is furnished,

provided that if and so long as the Trustee shall be the Security registrar for
such series and all of the Securities of any series are Registered Securities,
such list shall not be required to be furnished.

     SECTION 4.02. Preservation and Disclosure of Securityholders Lists. (a)
The Trustee shall preserve, in as current a form as is reasonably practicable,
all information as to the names and addresses of the holders of each series of
Securities contained in the most recent list furnished to it as provided in
Section 4.01. The Trustee may destroy any list furnished to it as provided in
Section 4.01 upon receipt of a new list so furnished.

     (b) The rights of Holders to communicate with other Holders with respect
to the Indenture or the Securities are as provided by the Trust Indenture Act
of 1939.

     (c) Neither the Company nor the Trustee will be held accountable by reason
of any disclosure of information as to names and addresses of Holders made
pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939.

other reports that the Issuer may be required to file with the Commission
pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
or pursuant to Section 314 of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939.

     SECTION 4.04. Reports by the Trustee. Any Trustee's report required under

before January 15 in each year beginning January 15, 2002, as provided in
Section 313(c) of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, so long as any Securities
are Outstanding hereunder, and shall be dated as of a date convenient to the
Trustee no more than 60 days prior thereto.

                                   ARTICLE 5
        REMEDIES OF THE TRUSTEE AND SECURITYHOLDERS ON EVENT OF DEFAULT

     SECTION 5.01. Event of Default Defined; Acceleration of Maturity; Waiver
of Default. "Event of Default" with respect to Securities of any series
wherever used herein, means each one of the following events which shall have
occurred and be continuing (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and
whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law
or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or
regulation of any administrative or governmental body):

          (a) default in the payment of any installment of interest upon any of
     the Securities of such series as and when the same shall become due and
     payable, and continuance of such default for a period of 30 days; or

          (b) default in the payment of all or any part of the principal or
     other amounts on any of the Securities of such series as and when the same
     shall become due and payable either at maturity, upon any redemption, by
     declaration or otherwise; or

          (c) default in the performance, or breach, of any covenant or
     warranty of the Issuer in respect of the Securities of such series (other
     than a covenant or warranty in respect of the Securities of such series a
     default in whose performance or whose breach is elsewhere in this Section
     specifically dealt with), and continuance of such default or breach for a
     period of 90 days after there has been given, by registered or certified
     mail, to the Issuer by the Trustee or to the Issuer and the Trustee by the
     holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding
     Securities of all series affected thereby, a written notice specifying
     such default or breach and requiring it to be remedied and stating that
     such notice is a "Notice of Default" hereunder; or

          (d) a court having jurisdiction in the premises shall enter a decree
     or order for relief in respect of the Issuer in an involuntary case under
     any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or
     hereafter in effect, or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee,
     custodian, trustee, sequestrator (or similar official) of the Issuer or
     for any substantial part of its property or ordering the winding up or
     liquidation of its affairs, and such decree or order shall remain unstayed
     and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days; or

          (e) the Issuer shall commence a voluntary case under any applicable
     bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or
     consent to the entry of an order for relief in an involuntary case


                                       28
<PAGE>


     under any such law, or consent to the appointment or taking possession by
     a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator (or
     similar official) of the Issuer or for any substantial part of its
     property, or make any general assignment for the benefit of creditors; or

          (f) any other Event of Default provided in the supplemental indenture
     under which such series of Securities is issued or in the form of Security
     for such series.

If an Event of Default described in clauses (a), (b), (c) or (f) above (if the
Event of Default under clauses (c) or (f) is with respect to less than all
series of Securities then Outstanding) occurs and is continuing, then, and in
each and every such case, except for any series the principal of which shall
have already become due and payable, either the Trustee or the Holders of not
less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of all series
affected thereby then Outstanding hereunder (treated as one class), by notice
in writing to the Issuer (and to the Trustee if given by Securityholders), may
declare the entire principal (or, if the Securities of any such affected series
are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount as
may be specified in the terms of such series) of all Securities of such
affected series and the interest accrued thereon, if any, to be due and payable
immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall become immediately
due and payable. If an Event of Default described in clauses (c), (f) (if the
Event of Default under clauses (c) or (f) is with respect to all series of
Securities at the time Outstanding), (d) or (e) occurs and is continuing, then
and in each and every such case, unless the principal of all the Securities
shall have already become due and payable, either the Trustee or the Holders of
not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of all the Securities then
Outstanding hereunder (treated as one class), by notice in writing to the
Issuer (and to the Trustee if given by Securityholders), may declare the entire
principal (or, if any Securities are Original Issue Discount Securities, such
portion of the principal as may be specified in the terms thereof) of all the
Securities then Outstanding and interest accrued thereon, if any, to be due and
payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall become
immediately due and payable.

     The foregoing provisions, however, are subject to the condition that if,
at any time after the principal (or, if the Securities are Original Issue
Discount Securities, such portion of the principal as may be specified in the
terms thereof) of the Securities of any series (or of all the Securities, as
the case may be) shall have been so declared due and payable, and before any
judgment or decree for the payment of the monies due shall have been obtained
or entered as hereinafter provided, the Issuer shall pay or shall deposit with
the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay all matured installments of interest upon
all the Securities of such series (or of all the Securities, as the case may
be) and the principal of any and all Securities of each such series (or of all
the Securities, as the case may be) which shall have


                                       29
<PAGE>


become due otherwise than by acceleration (with interest upon such principal
and, to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under
applicable law, on overdue installments of interest, at the same rate as the
rate of interest or Yield to Maturity (in the case of Original Issue Discount
Securities) specified in the Securities of each such series (or at the
respective rates of interest or Yields to Maturity of all the Securities, as
the case may be) to the date of such payment or deposit) and such amount as
shall be sufficient to cover reasonable compensation to the Trustee, its
agents, attorneys and counsel, and all other expenses and liabilities incurred,
and all advances made, by the Trustee except as a result of negligence or bad
faith, and if any and all Events of Default under the Indenture, other than the
non-payment of the principal of Securities which shall have become due by
acceleration, shall have been cured, waived or otherwise remedied as provided
herein, then and in every such case the Holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of all the Securities of each such series (or of all the
Securities, as the case may be) then Outstanding (in each case treated as one
class), by written notice to the Issuer and to the Trustee, may waive all
defaults with respect to each such series (or with respect to all the
Securities, as the case may be) and rescind and annul such declaration and its
consequences, but no such waiver or rescission and annulment shall extend to or
shall affect any subsequent default or shall impair any right consequent
thereon.

     For all purposes under this Indenture, if a portion of the principal of
any Original Issue Discount Securities shall have been accelerated and declared
due and payable pursuant to the provisions hereof, then, from and after such
declaration, unless such declaration has been rescinded and annulled, the
principal amount of such Original Issue Discount Securities shall be deemed,
for all purposes hereunder, to be such portion of the principal thereof as
shall be due and payable as a result of such acceleration, and payment of such
portion of the principal thereof as shall be due and payable as a result of
such acceleration, together with interest, if any, thereon and all other
amounts owing thereunder, shall constitute payment in full of such Original
Issue Discount Securities.

     SECTION 5.02. Collection of Indebtedness by Trustee; Trustee May Prove
Debt. The Issuer covenants that (a) in case default shall be made in the
payment of any installment of interest on any of the Securities of any series
when such interest shall have become due and payable, and such default shall
have continued for a period of 30 days or (b) in case default shall be made in
the payment of all or any part of the principal of any of the Securities of any
series when the same shall have become due and payable, whether upon maturity
of the Securities of such series or upon any redemption or by declaration or
otherwise, then upon demand of the Trustee, the Issuer will pay to the Trustee
for the benefit of the Holders of the Securities of such series the whole
amount that then shall have become due and payable on all Securities of such
series, and such Coupons, if any, for principal or interest, as the case may be
(with interest to the date of such payment


                                       30
<PAGE>


upon the overdue principal and, to the extent that payment of such interest is
enforceable under applicable law, on overdue installments of interest at the
same rate as the rate of interest or Yield to Maturity (in the case of Original
Issue Discount Securities) specified in the Securities of such series); and in
addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs
and expenses of collection, including reasonable compensation to the Trustee
and each predecessor Trustee, their respective agents, attorneys and counsel,
and any expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the
Trustee and each predecessor Trustee except as a result of its negligence or
bad faith.

     Until such demand is made by the Trustee, the Issuer may pay the principal
of and interest on the Securities of any series to the registered holders,
whether or not the principal of, and interest on, if any, the Securities of
such series be overdue.

     In case the Issuer shall fail forthwith to pay such amounts upon such
demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, shall
be entitled and empowered to institute any action or proceedings at law or in
equity for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute any
such action or proceedings to judgment or final decree, and may enforce any
such judgment or final decree against the Issuer or other obligor upon the
Securities and collect in the manner provided by law out of the property of the
Issuer or other obligor upon the Securities, wherever situated, the monies
adjudged or decreed to be payable.

     In case there shall be pending proceedings relative to the Issuer or any
other obligor upon the Securities of any series under Title 11 of the United
States Code or any other applicable Federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or
other similar law, or in case a receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or
reorganization, liquidator, sequestrator or similar official shall have been
appointed for or taken possession of the Issuer or its property or such other
obligor, or in case of any other comparable judicial proceedings relative to
the Issuer or other obligor upon the Securities of any series, or to the
creditors or property of the Issuer or such other obligor, the Trustee,
irrespective of whether the principal of any 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 pursuant to the
provisions of this Section, shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in
such proceedings or otherwise:

          (a) to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole amount of
     principal and interest (or, if the Securities of any series are Original
     Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be
     specified in the terms of such series) owing and unpaid in respect of the


                                       31
<PAGE>


     Securities of any series, 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 reasonable compensation to the Trustee and each
     predecessor Trustee, and their respective agents, attorneys and counsel,
     and for reimbursement of all expenses and liabilities incurred, and all
     advances made, by the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee, except as a
     result of negligence or bad faith) and of the Securityholders allowed in
     any judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer or other obligor upon the
     Securities of any series, or to the creditors or property of the Issuer or
     such other obligor,

          (b) unless prohibited by applicable law and regulations, to vote on
     behalf of the holders of the Securities of any series in any election of a
     trustee or a standby trustee in arrangement, reorganization, liquidation
     or other bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings or Person performing similar
     functions in comparable proceedings, and

          (c) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or
     deliverable on any such claims, and to distribute all amounts received
     with respect to the claims of the Securityholders and of the Trustee on
     their behalf; and any trustee, receiver, or liquidator, custodian or other
     similar official is hereby authorized by each of the Securityholders to
     make payments to the Trustee, and, in the event that the Trustee shall
     consent to the making of payments directly to the Securityholders, to pay
     to the Trustee such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover reasonable
     compensation to the Trustee, each predecessor Trustee and their respective
     agents, attorneys and counsel, and all other expenses and liabilities
     incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and each predecessor
     Trustee except as a result of negligence or bad faith, and all other
     amounts due the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee pursuant to Section
     6.06.

     Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to
authorize or consent to or vote for or accept or adopt on behalf of any
Securityholder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or
composition affecting the Securities or Coupons appertaining to such Securities
of any series or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee
to vote in respect of the claim of any Securityholder in any such proceeding
except, as aforesaid, to vote for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or
similar Person.

     All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture, or
under any of the Securities of any series or Coupons appertaining to such
Securities, may be enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the
Securities of such series or Coupons appertaining to such Securities or the
production thereof on any trial or other proceedings relative thereto, and any
such action or


                                       32
<PAGE>


proceedings instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as
trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment, subject to the
payment of the expenses, disbursements and compensation of the Trustee, each
predecessor Trustee and their respective agents and attorneys, shall be for the
ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securities or Coupons appertaining to
such Securities in respect of which such action was taken.

     In any proceedings brought by the Trustee (and also any proceedings
involving the interpretation of any provision of this Indenture to which the
Trustee shall be a party) the Trustee shall be held to represent all the
Holders of the Securities in respect of which such action was taken, and it
shall not be necessary to make any Holders of such Securities parties to any
such proceedings.

     SECTION 5.03. Application of Proceeds. Any monies collected by the Trustee
pursuant to this Article in respect of any series shall be applied in the
following order at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the
distribution of such monies on account of principal or interest, upon
presentation of the several Securities and Coupons appertaining to such
Securities in respect of which monies have been collected and stamping (or
otherwise noting) thereon the payment, or issuing Securities of such series in
reduced principal amounts in exchange for the presented Securities of like
series if only partially paid, or upon surrender thereof if fully paid:

          FIRST: To the payment of costs and expenses applicable to such series
     in respect of which monies have been collected, including reasonable
     compensation to the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee and their
     respective agents and attorneys and of all expenses and liabilities
     incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and each predecessor
     Trustee except as a result of negligence or bad faith, and all other
     amounts due to the Trustee or any predecessor Trustee pursuant to Section
     6.06;

          SECOND: In case the principal of the Securities in respect of which
     monies have been collected shall not have become and be then due and
     payable, to the payment of interest on the Securities of such series in
     default in the order of the maturity of the installments of such interest,
     with interest (to the extent that such interest has been collected by the
     Trustee) upon the overdue installments of interest at the same rate as the
     rate of interest or Yield to Maturity (in the case of Original Issue
     Discount Securities) specified in such Securities, such payments to be
     made ratably to the Persons entitled thereto, without discrimination or
     preference;

          THIRD: In case the principal of the Securities of such series in
     respect of which monies have been collected shall have become and shall be
     then due and payable, to the payment of the whole amount then owing


                                       33
<PAGE>


     and unpaid upon all the Securities of such series for principal and
     interest, with interest upon the overdue principal, and (to the extent
     that such interest has been collected by the Trustee) upon overdue
     installments of interest at the same rate as the rate of interest or Yield
     to Maturity (in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities) specified
     in the Securities of such series; and in case such monies shall be
     insufficient to pay in full the whole amount so due and unpaid upon the
     Securities of such series, then to the payment of such principal and
     interest or Yield to Maturity, without preference or priority of principal
     over interest or Yield to Maturity, or of interest or Yield to Maturity
     over principal, or of any installment of interest over any other
     installment of interest, or of any Security of such series over any other
     Security of such series, ratably to the aggregate of such principal and
     accrued and unpaid interest or Yield to Maturity; and

          FOURTH: To the payment of the remainder, if any, to the Issuer or any
     other Person lawfully entitled thereto.

     SECTION 5.04. Suits for Enforcement. In case an Event of Default has
occurred, has not been waived and is continuing, the Trustee may in its
discretion proceed to protect and enforce the rights vested in it by this
Indenture by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem
most effectual to protect and enforce any of such rights, either at law or in
equity or in bankruptcy or otherwise, whether for the specific enforcement of
any covenant or agreement contained in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise
of any power granted in this Indenture or to enforce any other legal or
equitable right vested in the Trustee by this Indenture or by law.

     SECTION 5.05. Restoration of Rights on Abandonment of Proceedings. In case
the Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce any right under this Indenture and
such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or
shall have been determined adversely to the Trustee, then and in every such
case the Issuer and the Trustee shall be restored respectively to their former
positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and powers of the
Issuer, the Trustee and the Securityholders shall continue as though no such
proceedings had been taken.

     SECTION 5.06. Limitations on Suits by Securityholders. No Holder of any
Security of any series or of any Coupon appertaining thereto shall have any
right by virtue or by availing of any provision of this Indenture to institute
any action or proceeding at law or in equity or in bankruptcy or otherwise upon
or under or with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a
trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official or for any
other remedy hereunder, unless such Holder previously shall have given to the
Trustee written notice of default and of the continuance thereof, as
hereinbefore provided, and unless also the Holders of


                                       34
<PAGE>


not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of each
affected series then Outstanding (treated as a single class) shall have made
written request upon the Trustee to institute such action or proceedings in its
own name as trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee such
reasonable indemnity as it may require against the costs, expenses and
liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby and the Trustee for 60 days after
its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity shall have failed to
institute any such action or proceeding and no direction inconsistent with such
written request shall have been given to the Trustee pursuant to Section 5.09;
it being understood and intended, and being expressly covenanted by the taker
and Holder of every Security or Coupon with every other taker and Holder and
the Trustee, that no one or more Holders of Securities of any series or Coupons
appertaining to such Securities shall have any right in any manner whatever by
virtue or by availing of any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or
prejudice the rights of any other such Holder of Securities of that or any
other series or Coupons appertaining to such Securities, or to obtain or seek
to obtain priority over or preference to any other such Holder or to enforce
any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for
the equal, ratable and common benefit of all Holders of Securities of the
applicable series and Coupons appertaining to such Securities.

     For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of this Section, each
and every Securityholder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as
can be given either at law or in equity.

     SECTION 5.07. Unconditional Right of Securityholders to Institute Certain
Suits. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture and any provision
of any Security or Coupon, the right of any Holder of any Security or Coupon to
receive payment of the principal of and interest on such Security or Coupon on
or after the respective due dates expressed in such Security or Coupon, or to
institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such
respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such
Holder.

     SECTION 5.08. Powers and Remedies Cumulative; Delay or Omission Not Waiver
of Default. Except as provided in Section 5.06, no right or remedy herein
conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Securityholders 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.

     No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Securityholder to exercise
any right or power accruing upon any Event of Default occurring and continuing


                                       35
<PAGE>


as aforesaid shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a
waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein; and, subject to
Section 5.06, every power and remedy given by this Indenture or by law to the
Trustee or to the Securityholders may be exercised from time to time, and as
often as shall be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Securityholders.

     SECTION 5.09. Control by Securityholders. The Holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the Securities of each series affected (with all
such series voting as a single class) at the time Outstanding 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 power conferred
on the Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series by this Indenture;
provided that such direction shall not be otherwise than in accordance with law
and the provisions of this Indenture and provided further that (subject to the
provisions of Section 6.01) the Trustee shall have the right to decline to
follow any such direction if the Trustee, being advised by counsel, shall
determine that the action or proceeding so directed may not lawfully be taken
or if the Trustee in good faith by its board of directors, the executive
committee, or a trust committee of directors or Responsible Officers of the
Trustee shall determine that the action or proceedings so directed would
involve the Trustee in personal liability or if the Trustee in good faith shall
so determine that the actions or forebearances specified in or pursuant to such
direction would be unduly prejudicial to the interests of Holders of the
Securities of all series so affected not joining in the giving of said
direction, it being understood that (subject to Section 6.01) the Trustee shall
have no duty to ascertain whether or not such actions or forebearances are
unduly prejudicial to such Holders.

     Nothing in this Indenture shall impair the right of the Trustee in its
discretion to take any action deemed proper by the Trustee and which is not
inconsistent with such direction or directions by Securityholders.

     SECTION 5.10. Waiver of Past Defaults. Prior to the declaration of the
acceleration of the maturity of the Securities of any series as provided in
Section 5.01, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Securities of all series at the time Outstanding with respect to which an Event
of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (voting as a single class) may
on behalf of the Holders of all such Securities waive any past default or Event
of Default described in Section 5.01 and its consequences except a default in
respect of a covenant or provision hereof which cannot be modified or amended
without the consent of the Holder of each Security affected. In the case of any
such waiver, the Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders of all such Securities
shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively;
but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair
any right consequent thereon.


                                       36
<PAGE>


     Upon any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist and be deemed to
have been cured and not to have occurred, and any Event of Default arising
therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, and not to have occurred 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 5.11. Trustee to Give Notice of Default, But May Withhold in
Certain Circumstances. The Trustee shall, within 90 days after the occurrence
of a default with respect to the Securities of any series, give notice of all
defaults with respect to that series known to the Trustee (i) if any
Unregistered Securities of a series affected are then Outstanding, to the
Holders thereof, (A) by mail to such Holders who have filed their names and
addresses with the Trustee within the two years preceding the notice at such
addresses as were so furnished to the Trustee and (B) either through the
customary notice provisions of the clearing system or systems through which
beneficial interests in such Unregistered Securities are owned if such
Unregistered Securities are held only in global form or by publication at least
once in an Authorized Newspaper in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New
York, and at least once in an Authorized Newspaper in London (and, if required
by Section 3.06, at least once in an Authorized Newspaper in Luxembourg), and
(ii) if any Registered Securities of a series affected are then Outstanding, by
mailing notice to the Holders of then Outstanding Registered Securities of each
series affected at their addresses as they shall appear on the registry books,
unless in each case such defaults shall have been cured before the mailing or
publication of such notice (the term "defaults" for the purpose of this Section
being hereby defined to mean any event or condition which is, or with notice or
lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default); provided that, except
in the case of default in the payment of the principal of, interest on or any
other amounts due under any of the Securities of such series, or in the payment
of any sinking fund installment on 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 or trustees and/or
Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good faith determines that the
withholding of such notice is in the interests of the Securityholders of such
series.

     SECTION 5.12. Right of Court to Require Filing of Undertaking to Pay
Costs. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Security or
Coupon by his acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court
may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or
remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action
taken, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant
in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such
court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable
attorneys' fees and expenses, against any party litigant in such suit, having
due regard to the merits


                                       37
<PAGE>


and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the
provisions of this Section shall not apply to any suit instituted by the
Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Securityholder or group of
Securityholders of any series holding in the aggregate more than 10% in
aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such series or in the case of
any suit relating to or arising under clauses (c) or (f) of Section 5.01 (if
the suit relates to Securities of more than one but less than all series), 10%
in aggregate principal amount of Securities then Outstanding and affected
thereby, or, in the case of any suit relating to or arising under clauses (c),
(f) (if the suit under clauses (c) or (f) relates to all the Securities then
Outstanding), (d) or (e) of Section 5.01, 10% in aggregate principal amount of
all Securities Outstanding, or to any suit instituted by any Securityholder for
the enforcement of the payment of the principal of or interest on any Security
or Coupon on or after the due date expressed in such Security or Coupon.

                                   ARTICLE 6
                             CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE

     SECTION 6.01. Duties and Responsibilities of the Trustee; During Default;
Prior to Default. With respect to the Holders of any series of Securities
issued hereunder, the Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default
with respect to the Securities of a particular series and after the curing or
waiving of all Events of Default which may have occurred with respect to such
series, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are
specifically set forth in this Indenture. In case an Event of Default with
respect to the Securities of a series has occurred (which has not been cured or
waived) the Trustee shall exercise with respect to such series of Securities
such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same
degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent man would exercise or
use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs.

     No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee
from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act
or its own wilful misconduct except that

     (a) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to the
Securities of any series and after the curing or waiving of all such Events of
Default with respect to such series which may have occurred:

          (i) the duties and obligations of the Trustee with respect to the
     Securities of any series shall be determined solely by the express
     provisions of this Indenture, and the Trustee shall not be liable except
     for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set
     forth


                                       38
<PAGE>


     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 the part of the Trustee, the
     Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the
     correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any statements,
     certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the
     requirements of this Indenture; but in the case of any such statements,
     certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically
     required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty
     to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the
     requirements of this Indenture;

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

     (c) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or
omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the
Holders pursuant to Section 5.09 relating to the time, method and place of
conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or
exercising any trust power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Indenture.

     None of the provisions contained in this Indenture shall require the
Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability
in the performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of any of its rights
or powers, if there shall be reasonable ground for believing that the repayment
of such funds or indemnity satisfactory to it against such liability is not
reasonably assured to it.

     The provisions of this Section 6.01 are in furtherance of and subject to
Section 315 of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939.

     SECTION 6.02. Certain Rights of the Trustee. In furtherance of and subject
to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, and subject to Section 6.01:

     (a) the Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be fully protected in
acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, Officers' Certificate,
Issuer Order or any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report,
notice, request, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, coupon, security or
other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or
presented by the proper party or parties;


                                       39
<PAGE>


     (b) any request, direction, order or demand of the Issuer mentioned herein
shall be sufficiently evidenced by an Officers' Certificate (unless other
evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed); and any
resolution of the Board of Directors may be evidenced to the Trustee by a copy
thereof certified by the secretary or an assistant secretary of the Issuer to
have been duly adopted by the Board of Directors and to be in full force and
effect on the date thereof;

     (c) the Trustee may consult with counsel and any advice of such counsel or
any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection
in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it hereunder
in good faith and in accordance with such advice or Opinion of Counsel;

     (d) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights
or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request, order or direction of
any of the Securityholders pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, unless
such Securityholders shall have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity
satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be
incurred therein or thereby;

     (e) the Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted by it
in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion,
rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture;

     (f) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder and after the
curing or waiving of all Events of Default, the Trustee shall not be bound to
make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution,
certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent,
order, approval, appraisal, bond, debenture, note, coupon, security, or other
paper or document unless requested in writing so to do by the Holders of not
less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of all
series affected then Outstanding; provided that, if the payment within a
reasonable time to the Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to
be incurred by it in the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the
Trustee, not reasonably assured to the Trustee by the security afforded to it
by the terms of this Indenture, the Trustee may require indemnity satisfactory
to it against such expenses or liabilities as a condition to proceeding; the
reasonable expenses of every such investigation shall be paid by the Issuer or,
if paid by the Trustee or any predecessor Trustee, shall be repaid by the
Issuer upon demand; and

     (g) the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or
perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents,
attorneys, custodians or nominees not regularly in its employ and the Trustee
shall not be


                                       40
<PAGE>


responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any such agent,
attorney, custodian or nominee appointed with due care by it hereunder.

     (h) In no event shall the Trustee be liable for the selection of
investments or for investment losses incurred thereon. The Trustee shall have
no liability in respect of losses incurred as a result of the liquidation of
any investments prior to its stated maturity or failure to provide timely
written direction.

     (i) The Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of an Event of Default
unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge or the Trustee
has received written notice thereof.

     SECTION 6.03. Trustee Not Responsible for Recitals, Disposition of
Securities or Application of Proceeds Thereof. The recitals contained herein
and in the Securities or Coupons, except the Trustee's certificate of
authentication, shall be taken as the statements of the Issuer, and the Trustee
assumes no responsibility for the correctness of the same. The Trustee makes no
representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the
Securities or Coupons. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or
application by the Issuer of any of the Securities or of the proceeds thereof.

     SECTION 6.04. Trustee and Agents May Hold Securities or Coupons;
Collections, Etc. The Trustee or any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee, in its
individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities
or Coupons with the same rights it would have if it were not the Trustee or
such agent and, subject to Sections 6.08 and 6.13, if operative, may otherwise
deal with the Issuer and receive, collect, hold and retain collections from the
Issuer with the same rights it would have if it were not the Trustee or such
agent.

     SECTION 6.05. Monies Held by Trustee. Subject to the provisions of Section
10.04 hereof, all monies received by the Trustee shall, until used or applied
as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were
received, but need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent
required by mandatory provisions of law. Neither the Trustee nor any agent of
the Issuer or the Trustee shall be under any liability for interest on any
monies received by it hereunder except such as it may agree with the Issuer to
pay thereon.

     SECTION 6.06. Compensation and Indemnification of Trustee and Its Prior
Claim. The Issuer covenants and agrees to pay to the Trustee from time to time,
and the Trustee shall be entitled to, reasonable compensation (which shall not
be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee
of an express trust) and the Issuer covenants and agrees to pay or reimburse
the


                                       41
<PAGE>


Trustee and each predecessor Trustee upon its request for all reasonable
expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by or on behalf of it in
accordance with any of the provisions of this Indenture (including the
reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its counsel and
of all agents and other Persons not regularly in its employ) except any such
expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its negligence or bad faith.
The Issuer also covenants to indemnify the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee
for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred
without negligence or bad faith on its part, arising out of or in connection
with the acceptance or administration of this Indenture or the trusts hereunder
and its duties hereunder, including the costs and expenses of defending itself
against or investigating any claim of liability in the premises. The
obligations of the Issuer under this Section to compensate and indemnify the
Trustee and each predecessor Trustee and to pay or reimburse the Trustee and
each predecessor Trustee for expenses, disbursements and advances shall
constitute additional indebtedness hereunder and shall survive the satisfaction
and discharge of this Indenture. Such additional indebtedness shall be a senior
claim to that of the Securities or Coupons upon all property and funds held or
collected by the Trustee as such, except funds held in trust for the benefit of
the Holders of particular Securities or Coupons, and the Securities or Coupons
are hereby subordinated to such senior claim. The Issuer's obligations pursuant
to this Section 6.06 shall survive the earlier termination of this Indenture or
resignation or removal of the Trustee.

     SECTION 6.07. Right of Trustee to Rely on Officers' Certificate, Etc..
Subject to Sections 6.01 and 6.02, whenever in the administration of the trusts
of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it necessary or desirable that a
matter be proved or established prior to taking or suffering or omitting any
action hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be
herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of negligence or bad faith
on the part of the Trustee, be deemed to be conclusively proved and established
by an Officers' Certificate delivered to the Trustee, and such certificate, in
the absence of negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, shall be
full warrant to the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it
under the provisions of this Indenture upon the faith thereof.

     SECTION 6.08. Conflicting Interests. The following indentures are hereby
specifically described for the purposes of excluding such indentures and this
Indenture with respect to Securities of any other series from the operation of
Section 310(b)(1) of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939: (i) the Indenture dated
as of July 1, 1986, as amended or supplemented, between the Issuer and the
Trustee, (ii) the Indenture dated as of December 1, 1989 between the Issuer and
the Trustee (as supplemented by the Agreement of Resignation, Appointment and
Acceptance, dated as of March 29, 1996) and (iii) this Indenture with respect
to the Securities of any o ther series, and there shall also be so excluded any
other indenture or indentures under which other


                                       42
<PAGE>


securities, or certificates of interest or participation in other securities,
of the Issuer are outstanding if (i) this Indenture, with respect to Securities
of such series, and, if applicable, this Indenture with respect to such other
series issued pursuant to this Indenture and such other indenture or indentures
are wholly unsecured, and such other indenture or indentures are hereafter
qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, unless the Commission shall
have found and declared by order pursuant to Section 305(b) or Section 307(c)
of such Trust Indenture Act of 1939 that differences exist between the
provisions of this Indenture with respect to Securities of such series and one
or more other series, or the provisions of this Indenture and the provisions of
such other indenture or indentures which are so likely to involve a material
conflict of interest as to make it necessary in the public interest or for the
protection of investors to disqualify the Trustee from acting as such under
this Indenture with respect to Securities of such series and such other series,
or under this Indenture or such other indenture or indentures, or (ii) the
Issuer shall have sustained the burden of proving, on application to the
Commission and after opportunity for hearing thereon, that trusteeship under
this Indenture with respect to Securities of such series and such other series,
or under this Indenture and such other indenture or indentures is not so likely
to involve material conflict of interest as to make it necessary in the public
interest or for the protection of investors to disqualify the Trustee from
acting as such under this Indenture with respect to Securities of such series
and such other series, or under this Indenture and such other indentures.

     SECTION 6.09. Persons Eligible for Appointment as Trustee. The Trustee for
each series of Securities hereunder shall at all times be a corporation
organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or
of any State or the District of Columbia having a combined capital and surplus
of at least $5,000,000, and which is authorized under such laws to exercise
corporate trust powers and is subject to supervision or examination by Federal,
State or District of Columbia authority. Such corporation shall have its
principal place of business in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York,
if there be such a corporation in such location willing to act upon reasonable
and customary terms and conditions. If such corporation publishes reports of
condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the
aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this
Section, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation 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 the Trustee shall cease to be
eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee shall
resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 6.10.

     The provisions of this Section 6.09 are in furtherance of and subject to
Section 310(a) of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939.

     SECTION 6.10. Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor Trustee.
(a) The Trustee, or any trustee or trustees hereafter appointed, may at any
time resign with respect to one or more or all series of Securities by giving
written notice of resignation to the Issuer and (i) if any Unregistered
Securities of a series affected are then Outstanding, by giving notice of such
resignation to the Holders thereof (A) by mail to such Holders who have filed
their names and addresses with the Trustee within the two years preceding the
notice at such addresses as were so furnished to the Trustee and (B) either
through the customary notice provisions of the clearing system or systems
through which beneficial interests in such Unregistered Securities are owned if
such Unregistered Securities are held only in global form or by publication at
least once in an Authorized Newspaper in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of
New York, and at least once in an Authorized Newspaper in London (and, if
required by Section 3.06, at least once in an Authorized Newspaper in
Luxembourg), and (ii) if any Registered Securities of a series affected are
then Outstanding, by mailing notice of such resignation to the Holders of then
Outstanding Registered Securities of each series affected at their addresses as
they shall appear on the registry books. Upon receiving such notice of
resignation, the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor trustee or trustees
with respect to the applicable series by written instrument in duplicate,
executed by authority of the Board of Directors, one copy of which instrument
shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and one copy to the successor
trustee or trustees. If no successor trustee shall have been so appointed with
respect to any series and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the
mailing of such notice of resignation, the resigning trustee may petition any
court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee, or
any Securityholder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security or Securities
of the applicable series for at least six months may, subject to the provisions
of Section 5.12, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated,
petition any such court for the appointment of a successor trustee. Such court
may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe,
appoint a successor trustee.

     (b) In case at any time any of the following shall occur:

          (i) the Trustee shall fail to comply with the provisions of Section
     310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 with respect to any series of
     Securities after written request therefor by the Issuer or by any
     Securityholder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security or Securities
     of such series for at least six months; or

          (ii) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
     provisions of Section 6.09 and Section 310(a) of the Trust Indenture Act
     of 1939 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the
     Issuer or by any Securityholder; or


                                       44
<PAGE>


          (iii) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting with respect to
     any series of Securities, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or
     a receiver or liquidator 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, the Issuer may remove the Trustee with respect to the
applicable series of Securities and appoint a successor trustee for such series
by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by order of the Board of
Directors of the Issuer, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the
Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor trustee, or, subject to the
provisions of Section 315(e) of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, any
Securityholder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security or Securities of
such series for at least six months may on behalf of himself and all others
similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the
removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor trustee with respect
to such series. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may
deem proper and prescribe, remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee.

     (c) The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Securities of each series at the time outstanding may at any time remove the
Trustee with respect to Securities of such series and appoint a successor
trustee with respect to the Securities of such series by delivering to the
Trustee so removed, to the successor trustee so appointed and to the Issuer the
evidence provided for in Section 7.01 of the action in that regard taken by the
Securityholders.

     (d) Any resignation or removal of the Trustee with respect to any series
and any appointment of a successor trustee with respect to such series pursuant
to any of the provisions of this Section 6.10 shall become effective upon
acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in Section 6.11.

     SECTION 6.11. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor Trustee. Any
successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 6.10 shall execute and
deliver to the Issuer and to its predecessor trustee an instrument accepting
such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the
predecessor trustee with respect to all or any applicable series shall become
effective and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or
conveyance, shall become vested with all rights, powers, duties and obligations
with respect to such series of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as
if originally named as trustee for such series hereunder; but, nevertheless, on
the written request of the Issuer or of the successor trustee, upon payment of
its charges then unpaid, the trustee ceasing to act shall, subject to Section
10.04, pay over to the successor


                                       45
<PAGE>


trustee all monies at the time held by it hereunder and shall execute and
deliver an instrument transferring to such successor trustee all such rights,
powers, duties and obligations. Upon request of any such successor trustee, the
Issuer shall execute any and all instruments in writing for more fully and
certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor trustee all such rights
and powers. Any trustee ceasing to act shall, nevertheless, retain a prior
claim upon all property or funds held or collected by such trustee to secure
any amounts then due it pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.06.

     If a successor trustee is appointed with respect to the Securities of one
or more (but not all) series, the Issuer, the predecessor Trustee and each
successor trustee with respect to the Securities of any applicable series shall
execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto which shall contain such
provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the
rights, powers, trusts and duties of the predecessor Trustee with respect to
the Securities of any series as to which the predecessor Trustee not retiring
shall continue to be vested in the predecessor Trustee, and 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 Trustees co-trustees of the same trust and that
each such Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts under separate
indentures.

     No successor trustee with respect to any series of Securities shall accept
appointment as provided in this Section 6.11 unless at the time of such
acceptance such successor trustee shall be qualified under Section 310(b) of
the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 and eligible under the provisions of Section
6.09.

     Upon acceptance of appointment by any successor trustee as provided in
this Section, the Issuer shall mail notice thereof (a) if any Unregistered
Securities of a series affected are then Outstanding, to the Holders thereof,
(A) by mail to such Holders who have filed their names and addresses with the
Trustee within the two years preceding the notice at such addresses as were so
furnished to the Trustee and (B) either through the customary notice provisions
of the clearing system or systems through which beneficial interests in such
Unregistered Securities are owned if such Unregistered Securities are held only
in global form or by publication at least once in an Authorized Newspaper in
the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York and at least once in an
Authorized Newspaper in London (and, if required by Section 3.06, at least once
in an Authorized Newspaper in Luxembourg), and (b) if any Registered Securities
of a series affected are then Outstanding, by mailing notice to the Holders of
then Outstanding Registered Securities of each series affected at their
addresses as they shall appear on the registry books. If the acceptance of
appointment is substantially contemporaneous with the resignation, then the
notice called for by


                                       46
<PAGE>


the preceding sentence may be combined with the notice called for by Section
6.10. If the Issuer fails to give such notice within ten days after acceptance
of appointment by the successor trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such
notice to be given at the expense of the Issuer.

     SECTION 6.12. Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession of Business
of Trustee. 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 the corporate trust business of the Trustee,
shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided that such corporation
shall be qualified under Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 and
eligible under the provisions of Section 6.09, without the execution or filing
of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto,
anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

     In case at the time such successor to the Trustee shall succeed to the
trusts created by this Indenture any of the Securities of any series shall have
been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may
adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor Trustee and deliver
such Securities so authenticated; and, in case at that time any of the
Securities of any series shall not have been authenticated, any successor to
the Trustee may authenticate such Securities either in the name of any
predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor Trustee; and in all such
cases such certificate shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the
Securities of such series or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of
the Trustee shall have; provided, that the right to adopt the certificate of
authentication of any predecessor Trustee or to authenticate Securities of any
series in the name of any predecessor Trustee shall apply only to its successor
or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation.

     SECTION 6.13. Appointment of Authenticating Agent. As long as any
Securities of a series remain Outstanding, the Trustee may, by an instrument in
writing, appoint with the approval of the Issuer an authenticating agent (the
"Authenticating Agent") which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the
Trustee to authenticate Securities, including Securities issued upon exchange,
registration of transfer, partial redemption or pursuant to Section 2.09.
Securities of each such series authenticated by such Authenticating Agent shall
be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory
for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee. Whenever reference is made
in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Securities of any
series by the Trustee or to 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 for such series and a Certificate of
Authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by such Authenticating Agent.
Such Authenticating Agent shall at all


                                       47
<PAGE>


times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the
United States of America or of any State, authorized under such laws to
exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at
least $5,000,000 (determined as provided in Section 6.09 with respect to the
Trustee) and subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State
authority.

     Any corporation into which any 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 any Authenticating Agent
shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate agency
business of any Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be the Authenticating
Agent with respect to all series of Securities for which it served as
Authenticating Agent without the execution or filing of any paper or any
further act on the part of the Trustee or such Authenticating Agent. Any
Authenticating Agent may at any time, and if it shall cease to be eligible
shall, resign by giving written notice of resignation to the Trustee and to the
Issuer.

     Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or
in case at any time any Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in
accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.13 with respect to one or more
series of Securities, the Trustee shall upon receipt of an Issuer Order appoint
a successor Authenticating Agent and the Issuer shall provide notice of such
appointment to all Holders of Securities of such series in the manner and to
the extent provided in Section 11.04. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon
acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all rights,
powers, duties and responsibilities of its predecessor hereunder, with like
effect as if originally named as Authenticating Agent. The Issuer agrees to pay
to the Authenticating Agent for such series from time to time reasonable
compensation. The Authenticating Agent for the Securities of any series shall
have no responsibility or liability for any action taken by it as such at the
direction of the Trustee.

     Sections 6.02, 6.03, 6.04, 6.06, 6.09 and 7.03 shall be applicable to any
Authenticating Agent.

                                   ARTICLE 7
                         CONCERNING THE SECURITYHOLDERS

     SECTION 7.01. Evidence of Action Taken by Securityholders. Any request,
demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action
provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by a specified percentage in
principal amount of the Securityholders of any or all series may be embodied in


                                       48
<PAGE>


and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed
by such specified percentage of Securityholders in person or by agent duly
appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such
action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered
to the Trustee. Proof of execution of any instrument or of a writing appointing
any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and
(subject to Sections 6.01 and 6.02) conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the
Issuer, if made in the manner provided in this Article.

     SECTION 7.02. Proof of Execution of Instruments and of Holding of
Securities. Subject to Sections 6.01 and 6.02, the fact and date of the
execution of any instrument by a Securityholder or his agent or proxy and the
amount and numbers of Securities of any series held by the person so executing
any instrument by a Securityholder or his agent or proxy and the amount and
numbers of any Security or Securities for such series may also be proven in
accordance with such reasonable rules and regulations as may be prescribed by
the Trustee for such series or in any other manner which the Trustee for such
series may deem sufficient.

     SECTION 7.03. Holders to Be Treated as Owners. The Issuer, the Trustee and
any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee may deem and treat the Person in whose
name any Security shall be registered upon the Security register for such
series as the absolute owner of such Security (whether or not such Security
shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing
thereon) for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal
of and, subject to the provisions of this Indenture, interest on such Security
and for all other purposes; and neither the Issuer nor the Trustee nor any
agent of the Issuer or the Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the
contrary. The Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee
may treat the Holder of any Unregistered Security and the Holder of any Coupon
as the absolute owner of such Unregistered Security or Coupon (whether or not
such Unregistered Security or Coupon shall be overdue), for the purpose of
receiving payment thereof or on account thereof and for all other purposes and
neither the Issuer, the Trustee, nor any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee
shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. All such payments so made to
any such Person, or upon his order, shall be valid, and, to the extent of the
sum or sums so paid, effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability for
monies payable upon any such Unregistered Security or Coupon.

     SECTION 7.04. Securities Owned by Issuer Deemed Not Outstanding. In
determining whether the Holders of the requisite aggregate principal amount of
Outstanding Securities of any or all series have concurred in any direction,
consent or waiver under this Indenture, Securities which are owned by the
Issuer or any other obligor on the Securities with respect to which such
determination is


                                       49
<PAGE>


being made or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by
or under direct or indirect common control with the Issuer or any other obligor
on the Securities with respect to which such determination is being made shall
be disregarded and deemed not to be Outstanding for the purpose of any such
determination, except that for the purpose of determining whether the Trustee
shall be protected in relying on any such direction, consent or waiver only
Securities which the Trustee actually knows are 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
Trustee the pledgee's right so to act with respect to such Securities and that
the pledgee is not the Issuer or any other obligor upon the Securities or any
Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or
indirect common control with the Issuer or any other obligor on the Securities.
In case of a dispute as to such right, the advice of counsel shall be full
protection in respect of any decision made by the Trustee in accordance with
such advice. Upon request of the Trustee, the Issuer shall furnish to the
Trustee promptly an Officers' Certificate listing and identifying all
Securities, if any, known by the Issuer to be owned or held by or for the
account of any of the above described Persons; and, subject to Sections 6.01
and 6.02, the Trustee shall be entitled to accept such Officers' Certificate as
conclusive evidence of the facts therein set forth and of the fact that all
Securities not listed therein are Outstanding for the purpose of any such
determination.

     SECTION 7.05. Right of Revocation of Action Taken. At any time prior to
(but not after) the evidencing to the Trustee, as provided in Section 7.01, of
the taking of any action by the Holders of the percentage in aggregate
principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any or all series, as the
case may be, specified in this Indenture in connection with such action, any
Holder of a Security the serial number of which is shown by the evidence to be
included among the serial numbers of the Securities the Holders of which have
consented to such action may, by filing written notice at the Corporate Trust
Office and upon proof of holding as provided in this Article, revoke such
action so far as concerns such Security. Except as aforesaid any such action
taken by the Holder of any Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such
Holder and upon all future Holders and owners of such Security and of any
Securities issued in exchange or substitution therefor or on registration or
transfer thereof, irrespective of whether or not any notation in regard thereto
is made upon any such Security. Any action taken by the Holders of the
percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any or all
series, as the case may be, specified in this Indenture in connection with such
action shall be conclusively binding upon the Issuer, the Trustee and the
Holders of all the Securities affected by such action.

                            SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES

     SECTION 8.01. Supplemental Indentures Without Consent of Securityholders.
The Issuer, when authorized by a resolution of its Board of Directors (which
resolution may provide general terms or parameters for such action and may
provide that the specific terms of such action may be determined in accordance
with or pursuant to an Issuer Order), and the Trustee may from time to time and
at any time enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto (which
shall conform to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 as in force
at the date of the execution thereof) for one or more of the following
purposes:

     (a) to convey, transfer, assign, mortgage or pledge to the Trustee as
security for the Securities of one or more series any property or assets;

     (b) to evidence the succession of another corporation to the Issuer, or
successive successions, and the assumption by the successor corporation of the
covenants, agreements and obligations of the Issuer pursuant to Article 9;

     (c) to add to the covenants of the Issuer such further covenants,
restrictions, conditions or provisions as the Issuer and the Trustee shall
consider to be for the protection of the Holders of Securities or Coupons, and
to make the occurrence, or the occurrence and continuance, of a default in any
such additional covenants, restrictions, conditions or provisions an Event of
Default permitting the enforcement of all or any of the several remedies
provided in this Indenture as herein set forth; provided, that in respect of
any such additional covenant, restriction, condition or provision 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 an Event
of Default or may limit the remedies available to the Trustee upon such an
Event of Default or may limit the right of the Holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such series to waive such an
Event of Default;

     (d) to cure any ambiguity or to correct or supplement any provision
contained herein or in any supplemental indenture which may be defective or
inconsistent with any other provision contained herein or in any supplemental
indenture; or to make such other provisions in regard to matters or questions
arising under this Indenture or under any supplemental indenture as the Issuer
may deem necessary or desirable and which shall not materially and adversely
affect the interests of the holders of the Securities;


                                       51
<PAGE>


     (e) to establish the form or terms of Securities of any series or of the
Coupons appertaining to such Securities as permitted by Sections 2.01 and 2.03;
and

     (f) 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, pursuant to the requirements of Section 6.11.

     The Trustee is hereby authorized to join with the Issuer in the execution
of any such supplemental indenture, to make any further appropriate agreements
and stipulations which may be therein contained and to accept the conveyance,
transfer, assignment, mortgage or pledge of any property thereunder, but the
Trustee 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.

     Any supplemental indenture authorized by the provisions of this Section
may be executed without the consent of the Holders of any of the Securities at
the time outstanding, notwithstanding any of the provisions of Section 8.02.

     SECTION 8.02. Supplemental Indentures With Consent of Securityholders.
With the consent (evidenced as provided in Article 7) of the Holders of not
less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the
time Outstanding of all series affected by such supplemental indenture (voting
as one class), the Issuer, when authorized by a resolution of its Board of
Directors (which resolution may provide general terms or parameters for such
action and may provide that the specific terms of such action may be determined
in accordance with or pursuant to an Issuer Order), and the Trustee may, from
time to time and at any time, enter into an indenture or indentures
supplemental hereto (which shall conform to the provisions of the Trust
Indenture Act of 1939 as in force at the date of execution thereof) for the
purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating
any of the provisions of this Indenture or of any supplemental indenture or of
modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each
such series or the Coupons appertaining to such Securities; provided, that no
such supplemental indenture shall (a)(i) extend the final maturity of any
Security, (ii) reduce the principal amount thereof, (iii) reduce the rate or
extend the time of payment of interest thereon or other amounts due thereunder,
(iv) change the method in which amounts of payments of principal, interest or
other amounts due thereon are determined, (v) reduce any amount payable on
redemption thereof, (vi) make the principal thereof (including any amount in
respect of original issue discount), or interest thereon payable in any coin or
currency other than that provided in the Securities and Coupons or in
accordance


                                       52
<PAGE>


with the terms thereof, (vii) modify or amend any provisions for converting any
currency into any other currency as provided in the Securities or Coupons or in
accordance with the terms thereof, (viii) reduce the amount of the principal of
an Original Issue Discount Security that would be due and payable upon an
acceleration of the maturity thereof pursuant to Section 5.01 or the amount
thereof provable in bankruptcy pursuant to Section 5.02, (ix) modify or amend
any provisions so as to adversely affect the terms or conditions upon which
such Securities are convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for or
payable in, among other things, other securities, instruments, contracts,
currencies, commodities or other forms of property, rights or interests or any
combination of the foregoing, including the determination of the amount of
securities or other property (or cash) into which the Securities shall be
converted or exchanged, other than as provided in the antidilution provisions
or other similar adjustment provisions of the Securities or Coupons or
otherwise in accordance with the terms thereof, (x) alter the provisions of
Section 11.11 or 11.12 or impair or affect the right of any Securityholder to
institute suit for the payment thereof or, if the Securities provide therefor,
any right of repayment at the option of the Securityholder, in each case
without the consent of the Holder of each Security so affected, or (b) reduce
the aforesaid percentage of Securities of any series, the consent of the
Holders of which is required for any such supplemental indenture, without the
consent of the Holders of each Security so affected.

     A supplemental indenture which changes or eliminates any covenant 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 any other series.

     Upon the request of the Issuer, accompanied by a copy of a resolution of
the Board of Directors (which resolution may provide general terms or
parameters for such action and may provide that the specific terms of such
action may be determined in accordance with or pursuant to an Issuer Order)
certified by the secretary or an assistant secretary of the Issuer authorizing
the execution of any such supplemental indenture, and upon the filing with the
Trustee of evidence of the consent of Securityholders as aforesaid and other
documents, if any, required by Section 7.01, the Trustee shall join with the
Issuer in the execution of such supplemental indenture unless such supplemental
indenture affects the Trustee's own rights, duties or immunities under this
Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion, but
shall not be obligated to, enter into such supplemental indenture.


                                       53

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

     Promptly after the execution by the Issuer and the Trustee of any
supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Section, the Trustee
shall give notice thereof (i) if any Unregistered Securities of a series
affected are then Outstanding, to the Holders thereof, (A) by mail to such
Holders who have filed their names and addresses with the Trustee within the
two years preceding the notice at such addresses as were so furnished to the
Trustee and (B) either through the customary notice provisions of the clearing
system or systems through which beneficial interests in such Unregistered
Securities are owned if such Unregistered Securities are held only in global
form or by publication at least once in an Authorized Newspaper in the Borough
of Manhattan, The City of New York, and at least once in an Authorized
Newspaper in London (and, if required by Section 3.06, at least once in an
Authorized Newspaper in Luxembourg), (ii) if any Registered Securities of a
series affected are then Outstanding, by mailing notice thereof by first class
mail to the Holders of then Outstanding Registered Securities of each series
affected at their addresses as they shall appear on the registry books, and in
each case such notice shall set forth in general terms the substance of such
supplemental indenture. Any failure of the Trustee to give such notice, or any
defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of
any such supplemental indenture.

     SECTION 8.03. Effect of Supplemental Indenture. Upon the execution of any
supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions hereof, this Indenture shall
be and be deemed to be modified and amended in accordance therewith and the
respective rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities
under this Indenture of the Trustee, the Issuer and the Holders of Securities
of each series affected thereby shall thereafter be determined, exercised and
enforced hereunder subject in all respects to such modifications and
amendments, and all the terms and conditions of any such supplemental indenture
shall be and be deemed to be part of the terms and conditions of this Indenture
for any and all purposes.

     SECTION 8.04. Documents to Be Given to Trustee. The Trustee, subject to
the provisions of Sections 6.01 and 6.02, may receive an Officers' Certificate
and an Opinion of Counsel as conclusive evidence that any supplemental
indenture executed pursuant to this Article 8 complies with the applicable
provisions of this Indenture.

     SECTION 8.05. Notation on Securities in Respect of Supplemental
Indentures. Securities of any series authenticated and delivered after the
execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this
Article


                                       54
<PAGE>


may bear a notation for such series as to any matter provided for by such
supplemental indenture or as to any action taken by Securityholders. If the
Issuer shall so determine, new Securities of any series so modified as to
conform, in the opinion of the Board of Directors, to any modification of this
Indenture contained in any such supplemental indenture may be prepared by the
Issuer, authenticated by the Trustee and delivered in exchange for the
Securities of such series then Outstanding.

                                   ARTICLE 9
                   CONSOLIDATION, MERGER, SALE OR CONVEYANCE

     SECTION 9.01. Issuer May Consolidate, Etc., on Certain Terms. The Issuer
covenants that it will not merge or consolidate with any other Person or sell
or convey all or substantially all of its assets to any other Person, unless
(i) either the Issuer shall be the continuing corporation, or the successor
corporation (if other than the Issuer) shall be a corporation organized under
the laws of the United States of America or any State thereof or the District
of Columbia and shall expressly assume the due and punctual payment of the
principal of, interest on and other amounts due under all the Securities and
Coupons, if any, according to their tenor, and the due and punctual performance
and observance of all of the covenants and conditions of this Indenture to be
performed or observed by the Issuer, by supplemental indenture satisfactory to
the Trustee, executed and delivered to the Trustee by such corporation, and
(ii) the Issuer, such successor corporation, as the case may be, shall not,
immediately after such merger or consolidation, or such sale or conveyance, be
in default in the performance of any such covenant or condition.

     SECTION 9.02. Successor Corporation to Be Substituted. In case of any such
consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, and upon any such assumption by the
successor corporation, such successor corporation shall succeed to and be
substituted for the Issuer, with the same effect as if it had been named herein
as the Issuer. Such successor corporation may cause to be signed, and may issue
either in its own name or in the name of J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. any or all of
the Securities issuable hereunder, together with any Coupons appertaining
thereto, which theretofore shall not have been signed by the Issuer and
delivered to the Trustee; and, upon the order of such successor corporation
instead of the Issuer and subject to all the terms, conditions and limitations
in this Indenture prescribed, the Trustee shall authenticate and shall deliver
any Securities, together with any Coupons appertaining thereto, which
previously shall have been signed and delivered by the officers of the Issuer
to the Trustee for authentication, and any Securities, together with any
Coupons appertaining thereto, which such successor corporation thereafter shall
cause to be signed and delivered to the


                                       55
<PAGE>


Trustee for that purpose. All of the Securities so issued, together with any
Coupons appertaining thereto shall in all respects have the same legal rank and
benefit under this Indenture as the Securities and Coupons theretofore or
thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this Indenture as though all
of such Securities and Coupons had been issued at the date of the execution
hereof.

     In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance such changes
in phraseology and form (but not in substance) may be made in the Securities
and Coupons thereafter to be issued as may be appropriate.

     In the event of any such sale or conveyance the Issuer or any successor
corporation which shall theretofore have become such in the manner described in
this Article shall be discharged from all obligations and covenants under this
Indenture and the Securities and may be liquidated and dissolved.

     SECTION 9.03. Opinion of Counsel to Trustee. The Trustee, subject to the
provisions of Sections 6.01 and 6.02, may receive an Opinion of Counsel as
conclusive evidence that any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance,
and any such assumption, and any such liquidation or dissolution complies with
the applicable provisions of Article 9.

                                   ARTICLE 10
           SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE; UNCLAIMED MONIES

     SECTION 10.01. Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture. (a) If at any time
(i) the Issuer shall have paid or caused to be paid the principal of, interest
on and any other amounts due under all the Securities of any series Outstanding
hereunder and all unmatured Coupons appertaining thereto (other than Securities
of such series and Coupons appertaining thereto which have been destroyed, lost
or stolen and which have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 2.09 and
other than Securities for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in
trust or segregated and held in trust by any paying agent and thereafter repaid
to the Issuer or discharged from such trust, as provided in Section 10.04), as
and when the same shall have become due and payable, or (ii) the Issuer shall
have delivered to the Trustee for cancellation all Securities of any series
theretofore authenticated and all unmatured Coupons appertaining thereto (other
than any Securities of such series and all unmatured Coupons appertaining
thereto which shall have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which shall have
been replaced or paid as provided in Section 2.09) or (iii) in the case of any
series of Securities where the exact amount (including the currency of payment)
of principal of and interest due on which can be determined at the time of
making the deposit referred to in clause (B) below, (A) all the Securities of
such series and all unmatured


                                       56
<PAGE>


Coupons appertaining thereto not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for
cancellation shall have become due and payable, or are by their terms to become
due and payable within one year or are to be called for redemption within one
year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of
redemption, and (B) the Issuer shall have irrevocably deposited or caused to be
deposited with the Trustee as trust funds the entire amount in cash (other than
monies repaid by the Trustee or any paying agent to the Issuer in accordance
with Section 10.04) or, in the case of any series of Securities the payments on
which may only be made in Dollars, direct obligations of the United States of
America, backed by its full faith and credit ("U.S. Government Obligations"),
maturing as to principal and interest at such times and in such amounts as will
insure the availability of cash, or a combination thereof, 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
(1) the principal, interest and other amounts on all Securities of such series
and Coupons appertaining thereto on each date that such principal or interest
is due and payable and (2) any mandatory sinking fund payments on the dates on
which such payments are due and payable in accordance with the terms of the
Indenture and the Securities of such series; and if, in any such case, the
Issuer shall also pay or cause to be paid all other sums payable hereunder by
the Issuer, then this Indenture shall cease to be of further effect (except as
to (i) rights of registration of transfer and exchange of Securities of such
Series and of Coupons appertaining thereto and the Issuer's right of optional
redemption, if any, (ii) substitution of mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or
stolen Securities or Coupons, (iii) rights of holders of Securities and Coupons
appertaining thereto to receive payments of principal thereof and interest
thereon, upon the original stated due dates therefor (but not upon
acceleration), and remaining rights of the Holders to receive mandatory sinking
fund payments, if any, (iv) the rights, obligations, duties and immunities of
the Trustee hereunder, (v) the rights of the Holders of Securities of such
series and Coupons appertaining thereto as beneficiaries hereof with respect to
the property so deposited with the Trustee payable to all or any of them, and
(vi) the obligations of the Issuer under Section 3.02) and the Trustee, on
demand of the Issuer accompanied by an Officer's Certificate and an Opinion of
Counsel and at the cost and expense of the Issuer, shall execute proper
instruments acknowledging such satisfaction of and discharging this Indenture;
provided, that the rights of Holders of the Securities and Coupons to receive
amounts in respect of principal of and interest on the Securities and Coupons
held by them shall not be delayed longer than required by then applicable
mandatory rules or policies of any securities exchange upon which the
Securities and Coupons are listed. The Issuer agrees to reimburse the Trustee
for any costs or expenses thereafter reasonably and properly incurred and to
compensate the Trustee for any services thereafter reasonably and properly
rendered by the Trustee in connection with this Indenture or the Securities of
such series and Coupons appertaining thereto.


                                       57

     (b) The following provisions shall apply to the Securities of each series
unless specifically otherwise provided in a Board Resolution, Officers'
Certificate or indenture supplemental hereto provided pursuant to Section 2.03.
In addition to discharge of the Indenture pursuant to the next preceding
paragraph, in the case of any series of Securities the exact amounts (including
the currency of payment) of principal of and interest due on which can be
determined at the time of making the deposit referred to in clause (i) below,
the Issuer shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness
on all the Securities of such a series and the Coupons appertaining thereto on
the 91st day after the date of the deposit referred to in clause (i) below, and
the provisions of this Indenture with respect to the Securities of such series
and Coupons appertaining thereto shall no longer be in effect (except as to (1)
rights of registration of transfer and exchange of Securities of such series
and of Coupons appertaining thereto and the Issuer's right of optional
redemption, if any, (2) substitution of mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or
stolen Securities or Coupons, (3) rights of holders of Securities and Coupons
appertaining thereto to receive payments of principal thereof and interest
thereon, upon the original stated due dates therefor (but not upon
acceleration), and remaining rights of the Holders to receive mandatory sinking
fund payments, if any, (4) the rights, obligations, duties and immunities of
the Trustee hereunder, (5) the rights of the holders of Securities of such
series and Coupons appertaining thereto as beneficiaries hereof with respect to
the property so deposited with the Trustee payable to all or any of them and
(6) the obligations of the Issuer under Section 3.02) and the Trustee, at the
expense of the Issuer, shall at the Issuer's request, execute proper
instruments acknowledging the same, if

          (i) with reference to this provision the Issuer has irrevocably
     deposited or caused to be irrevocably deposited with the Trustee as trust
     funds in trust, specifically pledged as security for, and dedicated solely
     to, the benefit of the holders of the Securities of such series and
     Coupons appertaining thereto (A) cash in an amount, or (B) in the case of
     any series of Securities the payments on which may only be made in
     Dollars, U.S. Government Obligations, maturing as to principal and
     interest at such times and in such amounts as will insure the availability
     of cash or (C) a combination thereof, 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 (1) the
     principal, interest and other amounts due on all Securities of such series
     and Coupons appertaining thereto on each date that such principal,
     interest or other amounts is due and payable and (2) any mandatory sinking
     fund payments on the dates on which such payments are due and payable in
     accordance with the terms of the Indenture and the Securities of such
     series;


                                       58
<PAGE>


          (ii) such deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or
     constitute a default under, any agreement or instrument to which the
     Issuer is a party or by which it is bound;

          (iii) the Issuer has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel
     based on the fact that (x) the Issuer has received from, or there has been
     published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (y) since the date
     hereof, there has been a change in the applicable Federal income tax law,
     in either case to the effect that, and such opinion shall confirm that,
     the holders of the Securities of such series and Coupons appertaining
     thereto will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax
     purposes as a result of such deposit, defeasance and discharge and will be
     subject to Federal income tax on the same amount and in the same manner
     and at the same times, as would have been the case if such deposit,
     defeasance and discharge had not occurred; and

          (iv) the Issuer has delivered to the Trustee an Officer's Certificate
     and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent
     provided for relating to the defeasance contemplated by this provision
     have been complied with.

     (c) The Issuer shall be released from its obligations under Section 9.01
with respect to the Securities of any Series, and any Coupons appertaining
thereto, Outstanding on and after the date the conditions set forth below are
satisfied (hereinafter, "covenant defeasance"). For this purpose, such covenant
defeasance means that, with respect to the Outstanding Securities of any
Series, the Issuer may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in
respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in such Section, whether
directly or indirectly by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to such
Section or by reason of any reference in such Section to any other provision
herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not
constitute an Event of Default under Section 5.01, but the remainder of this
Indenture and such Securities and Coupons shall be unaffected thereby. The
following shall be the conditions to application of this subsection (c) of this
Section 10.01:

          (i) The Issuer has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited
     with the Trustee 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 the Securities of such series and
     Coupons appertaining thereto, (A) cash in an amount, or (B) in the case of
     any series of Securities the payments on which may only be made in
     Dollars, U.S. Government Obligations maturing as to principal and interest
     at such times and in such amounts as will insure the availability of cash
     or (C) a combination thereof, sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally


                                       59
<PAGE>


     recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written
     certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay (1) the principal,
     interest and other amounts due on all Securities of such series and
     Coupons appertaining thereto and (2) any mandatory sinking fund payments
     on the day on which such payments are due and payable in accordance with
     the terms of the Indenture and the Securities of such series.

          (ii) No Event of Default or event which with notice or lapse of time
     or both would become an Event of Default with respect to the Securities
     shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit or,
     insofar as subsections 5.01(d) and 5.01(e) 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).

          (iii) Such covenant defeasance shall not cause the Trustee to have a
     conflicting interest for purposes of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 with
     respect to any securities of the Issuer.

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

          (v) Such covenant defeasance shall not cause any Securities then
     listed on any registered national securities exchange under the Securities
     Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, to be delisted.

          (vi) The Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer's
     Certificate and Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the holders of the
     Securities of such series and 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.

          (vii) The Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer's
     Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions
     precedent provided for relating to the covenant defeasance contemplated by
     this provision have been complied with.

     SECTION 10.02. Application by Trustee of Funds Deposited for Payment of
Securities. Subject to Section 10.04, all monies deposited with the Trustee


                                       60
<PAGE>


pursuant to Section 10.01 shall be held in trust and applied by it to the
payment, either directly or through any paying agent (including the Issuer
acting as its own paying agent), to the Holders of the particular Securities of
such series and of Coupons appertaining thereto for the payment or redemption
of which such monies have been deposited with the Trustee, of all sums due and
to become due thereon for principal and interest; but such money need not be
segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

     SECTION 10.03. Repayment of Monies Held by Paying Agent. In connection
with the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to
Securities of any series, all monies then held by any paying agent under the
provisions of this Indenture with respect to such series of Securities shall,
upon demand of the Issuer, be repaid to it or paid to the Trustee and thereupon
such paying agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to
such monies.

     SECTION 10.04. Return of Monies Held by Trustee and Paying Agent Unclaimed
for Two Years. Any monies deposited with or paid to the Trustee or any paying
agent for the payment of the principal of or interest on any Security of any
series or Coupons attached thereto and not applied but remaining unclaimed for
two years after the date upon which such principal or interest shall have
become due and payable, shall, upon the written request of the Issuer and
unless otherwise required by mandatory provisions of applicable escheat or
abandoned or unclaimed property law, be repaid to the Issuer by the Trustee for
such series or such paying agent, and the Holder of the Securities of such
series and of any Coupons appertaining thereto shall, unless otherwise required
by mandatory provisions of applicable escheat or abandoned or unclaimed
property laws, thereafter look only to the Issuer for any payment which such
Holder may be entitled to collect, and all liability of the Trustee or any
paying agent with respect to such monies shall thereupon cease; provided,
however, that the Trustee or such paying agent, before being required to make
any such repayment, with respect to monies deposited with it for any payment
(a) in respect of Registered Securities of any series, shall at the expense of
the Issuer, mail by first-class mail to Holders of such Securities at their
addresses as they shall appear on the Security register, and (b) in respect of
Unregistered Securities of any series, shall at the expense of the Issuer
either give (A) by mail to Holders of such Securities who have filed their
names and addresses with the Trustee within the two years preceding the notice
at such addresses as were so furnished to the Trustee and (B) either through
the customary notice provisions of the clearing system or systems through which
beneficial interests in such Unregistered Securities are owned if such
Unregistered Securities are held only in global form or cause to be published
once, in an Authorized Newspaper in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New
York and once in an Authorized Newspaper in London (and if required by Section
3.06, once in an Authorized Newspaper in Luxembourg), notice, that such monies


                                       61
<PAGE>


remain and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than
thirty days from the date of such mailing or publication, any unclaimed balance
of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Issuer.

     SECTION 10.05. Indemnity for U.S. Government Obligations. The Issuer shall
pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on
or assessed against the U.S. Government Obligations deposited pursuant to
Section 10.01 or the principal or interest received in respect of such
obligations.

                                   ARTICLE 11
                            MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

     SECTION 11.01. Incorporators, Stockholders, Officers and Directors of
Issuer Exempt from Individual Liability. No recourse under or upon any
obligation, covenant or agreement contained in this Indenture, or in any
Security, or because of any indebtedness evidenced thereby, shall be had
against any incorporator, as such or against any past, present or future
stockholder, officer or director, as such, of the Issuer or of any successor,
either directly or through the Issuer or any successor, under any rule of law,
statute or constitutional provision or by the enforcement of any assessment or
by any legal or equitable proceeding or otherwise, all such liability being
expressly waived and released by the acceptance of the Securities and the
Coupons appertaining thereto by the Holders thereof and as part of the
consideration for the issue of the Securities and the Coupons appertaining
thereto.

     SECTION 11.02. Provisions of Indenture for the Sole Benefit of Parties and
Holders of Securities and Coupons. Nothing in this Indenture or in the
Securities or in the Coupons appertaining thereto, expressed or implied, shall
give or be construed to give to any person, firm or corporation, other than the
parties hereto and their successors and the holders of the Securities or
Coupons, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture or
under any covenant or provision herein contained, all such covenants and
provisions being for the sole benefit of the parties hereto and their
successors and of the holders of the Securities.

     SECTION 11.03. Successors and Assigns of Issuer Bound by Indenture. All
the covenants, stipulations, promises and agreements in this Indenture
contained by or in behalf of the Issuer shall bind its successors and assigns,
whether so expressed or not.

     SECTION 11.04. Notices and Demands on Issuer, Trustee and Holders of
Securities and Coupons. Any notice or demand which by any provision of this


                                       62
<PAGE>


Indenture is required or permitted to be given or served by the Trustee or by
the Holders of Securities or Coupons to or on the Issuer may be given or served
by being deposited postage prepaid, first class mail (except as otherwise
specifically provided herein) addressed (until another address of the Issuer is
filed by the Issuer with the Trustee) to J.P. Morgan Chase & Co., 270 Park
Avenue, New York, New York 10017-2070, Attention: Corporate Secretary. Any
notice, direction, request or demand by the Issuer or any Securityholder to or
upon the Trustee shall be deemed to have been sufficiently given or made, for
all purposes, if given or made at the Corporate Trust Office marked to the
attention of the Corporate Trust Department.

     Where this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of Registered
Securities, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein
expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first class postage prepaid, to
each Holder entitled thereto, at his last address as it appears in the Security
register. In any case where notice to Holders is given by mail, neither the
failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any
particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to
other Holders. 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.

     Where this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of Unregistered
Securities, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein
expressly provided) if given by the following methods: (A) by mail to such
Holders who have filed their names and addresses with the Trustee within the
two years preceding the notice at such addresses as were so furnished to the
Trustee and (B) either through the customary notice provisions of the clearing
system or systems through which beneficial interests in such Unregistered
Securities are owned if such Unregistered Securities are held only in global
form or by publication at least once in an Authorized Newspaper in the Borough
of Manhattan, The City of New York, and at least once in an Authorized
Newspaper in London (and, if required by Section 3.06, at least once in an
Authorized Newspaper in Luxembourg).

     In case, by reason of the suspension of or irregularities in regular mail
service, it shall be impracticable to mail notice to the Issuer and holders of
Securities when such notice is required to be given pursuant to any provision
of this Indenture, then any manner of giving such notice as shall be
satisfactory to the Trustee shall be deemed to be a sufficient giving of such
notice.

     SECTION 11.05. Officers' Certificates and Opinions of Counsel; Statements
to Be Contained Therein. Upon any application or demand by the Issuer to the
Trustee to take any action under any of the provisions of this Indenture, the
Issuer shall furnish to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate stating that all
conditions precedent provided for in this Indenture relating to the proposed
action have been complied with and an Opinion of Counsel stating that in the
opinion of such counsel all such conditions precedent have been complied with,
except that in the case of any such application or demand as to which the
furnishing of such documents is specifically required by any provision of this
Indenture relating to such particular application or demand, no additional
certificate or opinion need be furnished.

     Each certificate or opinion provided for in this Indenture and delivered
to the Trustee with respect to compliance with a condition or covenant provided
for in this Indenture shall include (a) a statement that the person making such
certificate or opinion has read such covenant or condition, (b) a brief
statement as to the nature and scope of the examination or investigation upon
which the statements or opinions contained in such certificate or opinion are
based, (c) a statement that, in the opinion of such person, he has made such
examination or investigation as is necessary to enable him to express an
informed opinion as to whether or not such covenant or condition has been
complied with and (d) a statement as to whether or not, in the opinion of such
person, such condition or covenant has been complied with.

     Any certificate, statement or opinion of an officer of the Issuer may be
based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of
or representations by counsel, unless such officer knows that the certificate
or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which his
certificate, statement or opinion may be based as aforesaid are erroneous, or
in the exercise of reasonable care should know that the same are erroneous. Any
certificate, statement or opinion of counsel may be based, insofar as it
relates to factual matters, information with respect to which is in the
possession of the Issuer, upon the certificate, statement or opinion of or
representations by an officer or officers of the Issuer, unless such counsel
knows that the certificate, statement or opinion or representations with
respect to the matters upon which his certificate, statement or opinion may be
based as aforesaid are erroneous.

     Any certificate, statement or opinion of an officer of the Issuer or of
counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to accounting matters, upon a
certificate or opinion of or representations by an accountant or firm of
accountants in the employ of the Issuer, unless such officer or counsel, as the
case may be, knows that the certificate or opinion or representations with
respect to the accounting matters upon which his certificate, statement or
opinion may be based as aforesaid


                                       64

are erroneous, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know that the same
are erroneous.

     Any certificate or opinion of any independent firm of public accountants
filed with and directed to the Trustee shall contain a statement that such firm
is independent.

     SECTION 11.06. Payments Due on Saturdays, Sundays and Holidays. If the
date of maturity of interest on or principal of the Securities of any series or
any Coupons appertaining thereto or the date fixed for redemption or repayment
of any such Security shall not be a Business Day, then payment of interest or
principal need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding
Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the date of maturity
or the date fixed for redemption, and no interest shall accrue for the period
after such date.

     SECTION 11.07. Conflict of Any Provision of Indenture with Trust Indenture
Act of 1939. If and to the extent that any provision of this Indenture limits,
qualifies or conflicts with the duties imposed by, or with another provision
(an "incorporated provision") included in this Indenture by operation of,
Sections 310 to 318, inclusive, of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, such
imposed duties or incorporated provision shall control.

     SECTION 11.08. New York Law to Govern. This Indenture and each Security
and Coupon shall be deemed to be a contract under the laws of the State of New
York, and for all purposes shall be construed in accordance with the laws of
such State, except as may otherwise be required by mandatory provisions of law.

     SECTION 11.09. Counterparts. This Indenture may be executed in any number
of counterparts, each of which shall be an original; but such counterparts
shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

     SECTION 11.10. Effect of Headings. The Article and Section headings herein
and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and shall not affect the
construction hereof.

     SECTION 11.11. Securities in a Foreign Currency. Unless otherwise
specified in an Officers' Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 2.03 of
this Indenture with respect to a particular series of Securities, whenever for
purposes of this Indenture any action may be taken by the Holders of a
specified percentage in aggregate principal amount of Securities of all series
or all series affected by a particular action at the time Outstanding and, at
such time, there are Outstanding Securities of any series which are denominated
in a coin or currency other than


                                       65
<PAGE>


Dollars, then the principal amount of Securities of such series which shall be
deemed to be Outstanding for the purpose of taking such action shall be that
amount of Dollars that could be obtained for such amount on such reasonable
basis of exchange and as of such date as the Issuer may specify in a written
notice to the Trustee or in the absence of such written notice, as the Trustee
shall so determine. The provisions of this paragraph shall apply in determining
the equivalent principal amount in respect of Securities of a series
denominated in a currency other than Dollars in connection with any action
taken by Holders of Securities pursuant to the terms of this Indenture.

     All decisions and determinations of the Trustee regarding the Market
Exchange Rate or any alternative determination provided for in the preceding
paragraph shall be in its sole discretion and shall, in the absence of manifest
error, be conclusive to the extent permitted by law for all purposes and
irrevocably binding upon the Issuer and all Holders.

     SECTION 11.12. Judgment Currency. The Issuer agrees, to the fullest extent
that it may effectively do so under applicable law, that (a) if for the purpose
of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert the sum due in
respect of the principal of or interest on the Securities of any series (the
"Required Currency") into a currency in which a judgment will be rendered (the
"Judgment Currency"), the rate of exchange used shall be the rate at which in
accordance with normal banking procedures the Trustee could purchase in The
City of New York the Required Currency with the Judgment Currency on the day on
which final unappealable judgment is entered, unless such day is not a New York
Banking Day, then, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the rate of
exchange used shall be the rate at which in accordance with normal banking
procedures the Trustee could purchase in The City of New York the Required
Currency with the Judgment Currency on the New York Banking Day preceding the
day on which final unappealable judgment is entered and (b) its obligations
under this Indenture to make payments in the Required Currency (i) shall not be
discharged or satisfied by any tender, or any recovery pursuant to any judgment
(whether or not entered in accordance with subsection (a)), in any currency
other than the Required Currency, except to the extent that such tender or
recovery shall result in the actual receipt, by the payee, of the full amount
of the Required Currency expressed to be payable in respect of such payments,
(ii) shall be enforceable as an alternative or additional cause of action for
the purpose of recovering in the Required Currency the amount, if any, by which
such actual receipt shall fall short of the full amount of the Required
Currency so expressed to be payable and (iii) shall not be affected by judgment
being obtained for any other sum due under this Indenture. For purposes of the
foregoing, "New York Banking Day" means any day except a Saturday, Sunday or a
legal holiday in The City of New York or a day on which banking institutions in
The City of New York are authorized or required by law or executive order to
close.

                                   ARTICLE 12
                   REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES AND SINKING FUNDS

     SECTION 12.01. Applicability of Article. The provisions of this Article
shall be applicable to the Securities of any series which are redeemable before
their maturity or to any sinking fund for the retirement of Securities of a
series except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.03 for
Securities of such series.

     SECTION 12.02. Notice of Redemption; Partial Redemptions. Notice of
redemption to the Holders of Registered Securities of any series to be redeemed
as a whole or in part at the option of the Issuer shall be given by mailing
notice of such redemption by first class mail, postage prepaid, to such Holders
of Securities of such series at their last addresses as they shall appear upon
the registry books at least 30 days and not more than 60 days prior to the date
fixed for redemption, or within such other redemption notice period as has been
designated for any Securities of such series pursuant to Section 2.03 or 2.04
(the "Redemption Notice Period"). Notice of redemption to the Holders of
Unregistered Securities to be redeemed as a whole or in part, who have filed
their names and addresses with the Trustee within two years preceding such
notice of redemption, shall be given by mailing notice of such redemption, by
first class mail, postage prepaid, at least 30 and not more than 60 days prior
to the date fixed for redemption or within any applicable Redemption Notice
Period to such Holders at such addresses as were so furnished to the Trustee
(and, in the case of any such notice given by the Issuer, the Trustee shall
make such information available to the Issuer for such purpose). Notice of
redemption to all other Holders of Unregistered Securities shall be published
in an Authorized Newspaper in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York
and in an Authorized Newspaper in London (and, if required by Section 3.06, in
an Authorized Newspaper in Luxembourg), in each case, once in each of three
successive calendar weeks, the first publication to be not less than 30 nor
more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption or within any
applicable Redemption Notice Period; provided that notice to Holders of
Unregistered Securities held only in global form may be made, at the option of
the Issuer, through the customary notice provisions of the clearing system or
systems through which beneficial interests in such Unregistered Securities are
owned. Any notice which is mailed in the manner herein provided shall be
conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Holder
receives the notice. Failure to give notice by mail, or any defect in the
notice to the Holder of any Security of a series designated for redemption as a
whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the
redemption of any other Security of such series.


                                       67
<PAGE>


     The notice of redemption to each such Holder shall specify the principal
amount of each Security of such series held by such Holder to be redeemed, the
date fixed for redemption, the redemption price (or if not then ascertainable,
the manner of calculation thereof), the place or places of payment, that
payment will be made upon presentation and surrender of such Securities and, in
the case of Securities with Coupons attached thereto, of all Coupons
appertaining thereto maturing after the date fixed for redemption, that such
redemption is pursuant to the mandatory or optional sinking fund, or both, if
such be the case, that interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption will
be paid as specified in such notice and that on and after said date interest
thereon or on the portions thereof to be redeemed will cease to accrue. In case
any Security of a series is to be redeemed in part only the notice of
redemption shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be
redeemed and shall state that on and after the date fixed for redemption, upon
surrender of such Security and, in the case of Securities with Coupons attached
thereto, of all Coupons appertaining thereto maturing after the date fixed for
redemption, a new Security or Securities or Coupons, as the case may be, of
such series in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be
issued.

     The notice of redemption of Securities of any series to be redeemed at the
option of the Issuer shall be given by the Issuer, or at the Issuer's request,
by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Issuer.

     On or before the redemption date specified in the notice of redemption
given as provided in this Section, the Issuer will deposit with the Trustee or
with one or more paying agents (or, if the Issuer is acting as its own paying
agent, set aside, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 3.04) an
amount of money or other property sufficient to redeem on the redemption date
all the Securities of such series so called for redemption at the appropriate
redemption price, together with accrued interest to the date fixed for
redemption. If less than all the Outstanding Securities of a series are to be
redeemed, the Issuer will deliver to the trustee at least 60 days prior to the
date fixed for redemption an Officers' Certificate stating the aggregate
principal amount of Securities to be redeemed.

     If less than all the Securities of a series are to be redeemed, the
Trustee shall select, in such manner as it shall deem appropriate and fair,
Securities of such series to be redeemed in whole or in part. Securities may be
redeemed in part in multiples equal to the minimum authorized denomination for
Securities of such series or any multiple thereof. The Trustee shall promptly
notify the Issuer in writing of the Securities of such series selected for
redemption and, in the case of any Securities of such series 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 of any


                                       68
<PAGE>


series 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 12.03. Payment of Securities Called for Redemption. If notice of
redemption has been given as above provided, the Securities or portions of
Securities specified in such notice shall become due and payable on the date
and at the place stated in such notice at the applicable redemption price,
together with interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption, and on and
after said date (unless the Issuer shall default in the payment of such
Securities at the redemption price, together with interest accrued to said
date) interest on the Securities or portions of Securities so called for
redemption shall cease to accrue, and the unmatured Coupons, if any,
appertaining thereto shall be void, and, except as provided in Sections 6.05
and 10.04, such Securities shall cease from and after the date fixed for
redemption to be entitled to any benefit or security under this Indenture, and
the Holders thereof shall have no right in respect of such Securities except
the right to receive the redemption price thereof and unpaid interest to the
date fixed for redemption. On presentation and surrender of such Securities at
a place of payment specified in said notice, together with all Coupons, if any,
appertaining thereto maturing after the date fixed for redemption, said
Securities with, in the case of any Unregistered Securities that have Coupons
attached, all matured Coupons in default appertaining thereto or the specified
portions thereof shall be paid and redeemed by the Issuer at the applicable
redemption price, together with interest accrued thereon to the date fixed for
redemption; provided that any payment of interest becoming due on or prior to
the date fixed for redemption shall be payable in the case of Securities with
Coupons attached thereto, to the Holders of the Coupons for such interest upon
surrender thereof, and in the case of Registered Securities, to the Holders of
such Securities registered as such on the relevant record date subject to the
terms and provisions of Section 2.04 hereof.

     If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender
thereof for redemption, the principal shall, until paid or duly provided for,
bear interest from the date fixed for redemption at the rate of interest or
Yield to Maturity (in the case of an Original Issue Discount Security) borne by
the Security.

     If any Security with Coupons attached thereto is surrendered for
redemption and is not accompanied by all appurtenant Coupons maturing after the
date fixed for redemption, the surrender of such missing Coupon or Coupons may
be waived by the Issuer and the Trustee, if there be furnished to each of them
such security or indemnity as they may require to save each of them harmless.


                                       69
<PAGE>


     Upon presentation of any Security or Coupons appertaining thereto redeemed
in part only, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver to or on the order of the Holder thereof, at the expense of the Issuer,
a new Security or Securities of such series together with all Coupons, if any,
appertaining thereto, of authorized denominations, in principal amount equal to
the unredeemed portion of the Security or Coupons appertaining thereto so
presented.

     SECTION 12.04. Exclusion of Certain Securities from Eligibility for
Selection for Redemption. Securities shall be excluded from eligibility for
selection for redemption if they are identified by registration and certificate
number in an Officers' Certificate delivered to the Trustee at least 30 days
prior to the last date on which notice of redemption may be given as being
owned of record and/or beneficially by, and not pledged or hypothecated by
either (a) the Issuer or (b) an entity specifically identified in such written
statement as directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under
direct or indirect common control with the Issuer.

     SECTION 12.05. Mandatory and Optional Sinking Funds. 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 the Securities of
any series is herein referred to as an "optional sinking fund payment". The
date on which a sinking fund payment is to be made is herein referred to as the
"sinking fund payment date".

     In lieu of making all or any part of any mandatory sinking fund payment
with respect to any series of Securities in cash, the Issuer may at its option
(a) deliver to the Trustee Securities of such series theretofore purchased or
otherwise acquired (except upon redemption pursuant to the mandatory sinking
fund) by the Issuer or receive credit for Securities of such series (not
previously so credited) theretofore purchased or otherwise acquired (except as
aforesaid) by the Issuer and delivered to the Trustee for cancellation pursuant
to Section 2.10, (b) receive credit for optional sinking fund payments (not
previously so credited) made pursuant to this Section, or (c) receive credit
for Securities of such series (not previously so credited) redeemed by the
Issuer through any optional redemption provision contained in the terms of such
series. Securities so delivered or credited shall be received or credited by
the Trustee at the sinking fund redemption price specified in such Securities.

     On or before the sixtieth day next preceding each sinking fund payment
date or the 30th day next preceding the last day of any applicable Redemption
Notice Period relating to a sinking fund payment date for any series, the
Issuer will deliver to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate (which need not
contain the


                                       70
<PAGE>


statements required by Section 11.05) (a) specifying the portion of the
mandatory sinking fund payment to be satisfied by payment of cash and the
portion to be satisfied by credit of Securities of such series and the basis
for such credit, (b) stating that none of the Securities of such series has
theretofore been so credited, (c) stating that no defaults in the payment of
interest or Events of Default with respect to such series have occurred (which
have not been waived or cured) and are continuing and (d) stating whether or
not the Issuer intends to exercise its right to make an optional sinking fund
payment with respect to such series and, if so, specifying the amount of such
optional sinking fund payment which the Issuer intends to pay on or before the
next succeeding sinking fund payment date. Any Securities of such series to be
credited and required to be delivered to the Trustee in order for the Issuer to
be entitled to credit therefor as aforesaid which have not theretofore been
delivered to the Trustee shall be delivered for cancellation pursuant to
Section 2.10 to the Trustee with such Officers' Certificate (or reasonably
promptly thereafter if acceptable to the Trustee). Such Officers' Certificate
shall be irrevocable and upon its delivery the Issuer shall become
unconditionally obligated to make all the cash payments or payments therein
referred to, if any, on or before the next succeeding sinking fund payment
date. Failure of the Issuer, on or before any such sixtieth day or thirtieth
day, if applicable, to deliver such Officers' Certificate and Securities
specified in this paragraph, if any, shall not constitute a default but shall
constitute, on and as of such date, the irrevocable election of the Issuer (i)
that the mandatory sinking fund payment for such series due on the next
succeeding sinking fund payment date shall be paid entirely in cash without the
option to deliver or credit Securities of such series in respect thereof and
(ii) that the Issuer will make no optional sinking fund payment with respect to
such series as provided in this Section.

     If the sinking fund payment or payments (mandatory or optional or both) to
be made in cash on the next succeeding sinking fund payment date plus any
unused balance of any preceding sinking fund payments made in cash shall exceed
$50,000 (or the equivalent thereof in any Foreign Currency) or a lesser sum in
Dollars (or the equivalent thereof in any Foreign Currency) if the Issuer shall
so request with respect to the Securities of any particular series, such cash
shall be applied on the next succeeding sinking fund payment date to the
redemption of Securities of such series at the sinking fund redemption price
together with accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption. If such amount
shall be $50,000 (or the equivalent thereof in any Foreign Currency) or less
and the Issuer makes no such request then it shall be carried over until a sum
in excess of $50,000 (or the equivalent thereof in any Foreign Currency) is
available. The Trustee shall select, in the manner provided in Section 12.02,
for redemption on such sinking fund payment date a sufficient principal amount
of Securities of such series to absorb said cash, as nearly as may be, and
shall (if requested in writing by the Issuer) inform the Issuer of the serial
numbers of the Securities of such series (or portions thereof) so selected.
Securities shall be excluded from eligibility for


                                       71
<PAGE>


redemption under this Section if they are identified by registration and
certificate number in an Officer's Certificate delivered to the Trustee at
least 60 days prior to the sinking fund payment date or at least 30 days prior
to the last day of any applicable Redemption Notice Period relating to a
sinking fund payment date as being owned of record and beneficially by, and not
pledged or hypothecated by either (a) the Issuer or (b) an entity specifically
identified in such Officer's Certificate as directly or indirectly controlling
or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Issuer.
The Trustee, in the name and at the expense of the Issuer (or the Issuer, if it
shall so request the Trustee in writing) shall cause notice of redemption of
the Securities of such series to be given in substantially the manner provided
in Section 12.02 (and with the effect provided in Section 12.03) for the
redemption of Securities of such series in part at the option of the Issuer.
The amount of any sinking fund payments not so applied or allocated to the
redemption of Securities of such series shall be added to the next cash sinking
fund payment for such series and, together with such payment, shall be applied
in accordance with the provisions of this Section. Any and all sinking fund
monies held on the stated maturity date of the Securities of any particular
series (or earlier, if such maturity is accelerated), which are not held for
the payment or redemption of particular Securities of such series shall be
applied, together with other monies, if necessary, sufficient for the purpose,
to the payment of the principal of, and interest on, the Securities of such
series at maturity.

     On or before each sinking fund payment date, the Issuer shall pay to the
Trustee in cash or shall otherwise provide for the payment of all interest
accrued to the date fixed for redemption on Securities to be redeemed on the
next following sinking fund payment date.

     The Trustee shall not redeem or cause to be redeemed any Securities of a
series with sinking fund monies or provide notice of redemption of Securities
for such series by operation of the sinking fund during the continuance of a
default in payment of interest on such Securities or of any Event of Default
except that, where the giving of notice of redemption of any Securities shall
theretofore have been made, the Trustee shall redeem or cause to be redeemed
such Securities, provided that it shall have received from the Issuer a sum
sufficient for such redemption. Except as aforesaid, any monies in the sinking
fund for such series at the time when any such default or Event of Default
shall occur, and any monies thereafter paid into the sinking fund, shall,
during the continuance of such default or Event of Default, be deemed to have
been collected under Article 5 and held for the payment of all such Securities.
In case such Event of Default shall have been waived as provided in Section
5.10 or the default cured on or before the sixtieth day preceding the sinking
fund payment date in any year, such monies shall thereafter be applied on the
next succeeding sinking fund payment date in accordance with this Section to
the redemption of such Securities.

interest payments will commence on the second Interest Payment Date succeeding
the Interest Accrual Date to the registered holder of this Note on the Record
Date with respect to such second Interest Payment Date; and provided, further,
that if this Note is subject to "Annual Interest Payments," interest payments
shall be made annually in arrears and the term "Interest Payment Date" shall be
deemed to mean the first day of March in each year.

     Interest on this Note will accrue from and including the most recent date
to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, or, if no interest has
been paid or duly provided for, from and including the Interest Accrual Date,
until but excluding the date the principal hereof has been paid or duly made
available for payment. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly
provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, subject to certain exceptions
described herein, be paid to the person in whose name this Note (or one or more
predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on the date 15
calendar days prior to such Interest Payment Date (whether or not a Business
Day (as defined below)) (each such date a "Record Date"); provided, however,
that interest payable at maturity (or any redemption or repayment date) will be
payable to the person to whom the principal hereof shall be payable. As used
herein, "Business Day" means any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, (a) that
is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which banking institutions are
authorized or required by law or regulation to close (x) in The City of New
York or (y) if this Note is denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S.
dollars, Australian dollars or euro, in the principal financial center of the
country of the Specified Currency, or (z) if this Note is denominated in
Australian dollars, in Sydney and (b) if this Note is denominated in euro, that
is also a day on which the Trans-European Automated Real-time Gross Settlement
Express Transfer System ("TARGET") is operating (a "TARGET Settlement Day").

     Payment of the principal of this Note, any premium and the interest due at
maturity (or any redemption or repayment date), unless this Note is denominated
in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars and is to be paid in whole or
in part in such Specified Currency, will be made in immediately available funds
upon surrender of this Note at the office or agency of the Paying Agent, as
defined on the reverse hereof, maintained for that purpose in the Borough of
Manhattan, The City of New York, or at such other paying agency as the Issuer
may determine, in U.S. dollars. U.S. dollar payments of interest, other than
interest due at maturity or on any date of redemption or repayment, will be
made by U.S. dollar check mailed to the address of the person entitled thereto
as such address shall appear in the Note register. A holder of U.S. $10,000,000
(or the equivalent in a Specified Currency) or more in aggregate principal
amount of Notes having the same Interest Payment Date, the interest on which is
payable in U.S. dollars, shall be entitled to receive payments of interest,
other than interest due at maturity or on any date of redemption or repayment,
by wire transfer of immediately available funds if appropriate wire transfer
instructions have been received by the Paying Agent in writing not less than 15
calendar days prior to the applicable Interest Payment Date.

     If this Note is denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S.
dollars, and the holder does not elect (in whole or in part) to receive payment
in U.S. dollars pursuant to the next succeeding


                                       3
<PAGE>


paragraph, payments of interest, principal or any premium with regard to this
Note will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account
maintained by the holder hereof with a bank located outside the United States
if appropriate wire transfer instructions have been received by the Paying
Agent in writing [not less than 15 calendar days prior to the applicable
payment date]6 [, with respect to payments of interest, on or prior to the
fifth Business Day after the applicable Record Date and, with respect to
payments of principal or any premium, at least ten Business Days prior to the
Maturity Date or any redemption or repayment date, as the case may be]7;
provided that, if payment of interest, principal or any premium with regard to
this Note is payable in euro, the account must be a euro account in a country
for which the euro is the lawful currency, provided, further, that if such wire
transfer instructions are not received, such payments will be made by check
payable in such Specified Currency mailed to the address of the person entitled
thereto as such address shall appear in the Note register; and provided,
further, that payment of the principal of this Note, any premium and the
interest due at maturity (or on any redemption or repayment date) will be made
upon surrender of this Note at the office or agency referred to in the
preceding paragraph.

     If so indicated on the face hereof, the holder of this Note, if
denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, may elect to
receive all or a portion of payments on this Note in U.S. dollars by
transmitting a written request to the Paying Agent, on or prior to the fifth
Business Day after such Record Date or at least ten Business Days prior to the
Maturity Date or any redemption or repayment date, as the case may be. Such
election shall remain in effect unless such request is revoked by written
notice to the Paying Agent as to all or a portion of payments on this Note at
least five Business Days prior to such Record Date, for payments of interest,
or at least ten days prior to the Maturity Date or any redemption or repayment
date, for payments of principal, as the case may be.

     If the holder elects to receive all or a portion of payments of principal
of and any premium and interest on this Note, if denominated in a Specified
Currency other than U.S. dollars, in U.S. dollars, the Exchange Rate Agent (as
defined on the reverse hereof) will convert such payments into U.S. dollars. In
the event of such an election, payment in respect of this Note will be based
upon the exchange rate as determined by the Exchange Rate Agent based on the
highest bid quotation in The City of New York received by such Exchange Rate
Agent at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second Business
Day preceding the applicable payment date from three recognized foreign
exchange dealers (one of which may be the Exchange Rate Agent unless such
Exchange Rate Agent is an affiliate of the Issuer) for the purchase by the
quoting dealer of U.S. dollars for the Specified Currency for settlement on
such payment date in the amount of the Specified Currency payable in the
absence of such an election to such holder and at which the applicable dealer
commits to execute a contract. If such bid quotations are not available, such
payment will be made in the Specified Currency. All currency exchange costs
will be borne by the holder of this Note by deductions from such payments.

                         [FORM OF REVERSE OF SECURITY]

     This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Medium-Term Notes, Series
B, having maturities more than nine months from the date of issue (the "Notes")
of the Issuer. The Notes are issuable under an Indenture, dated as of [       ],
2001, between the Issuer and Bankers Trust Company, as Trustee (the "Trustee,"
which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture) (as may be
amended or supplemented from time to time, the "Indenture"), to which Indenture
and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a
statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and
immunities of the Issuer, the Trustee and holders of the Notes and the terms
upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. The
Issuer has appointed Bankers Trust Company at its corporate trust office in The
City of New York as the paying agent (the "Paying Agent," which term includes
any additional or successor Paying Agent appointed by the Issuer) with respect
to the Notes. The terms of individual Notes may vary with respect to interest
rates, interest rate formulas, issue dates, maturity dates, or otherwise, all
as provided in the Indenture. To the extent not inconsistent herewith, the
terms of the Indenture are hereby incorporated by reference herein.

     Unless otherwise indicated on the face hereof, this Note will not be
subject to any sinking fund and, unless otherwise provided on the face hereof
in accordance with the provisions of the following two paragraphs, will not be
redeemable or subject to repayment at the option of the holder prior to
maturity.

     If so indicated on the face hereof, this Note may be redeemed in whole or
in part at the option of the Issuer on or after the Initial Redemption Date
specified on the face hereof on the terms set forth on the face hereof,
together with interest accrued and unpaid hereon to the date of redemption. If
this Note is subject to "Annual Redemption Percentage Reduction," the Initial
Redemption Percentage indicated on the face hereof will be reduced on each
anniversary of the Initial Redemption Date by the Annual Redemption Percentage
Reduction specified on the face hereof until the redemption price of this Note
is 100% of the principal amount hereof, together with interest accrued and
unpaid hereon to the date of redemption. Notice of redemption shall be mailed
to the registered holders of the Notes designated for redemption at their
addresses as the same shall appear on the Note register not less than 30 nor
more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption or within the
Redemption Notice Period specified on the face hereof, subject to all the
conditions and provisions of the Indenture. In the event of redemption of this
Note in part only, a new Note or Notes for the amount of the unredeemed portion
hereof shall be issued in the name of the holder hereof upon the cancellation
hereof.

     If so indicated on the face of this Note, this Note will be subject to
repayment at the option of the holder on the Optional Repayment Date or Dates
specified on the face hereof on the terms set forth herein. On any Optional
Repayment Date, this Note will be repayable in whole or in part in increments
of $1,000 or, if this Note is denominated in a Specified Currency other than
U.S. dollars, in increments of 1,000 units of such Specified Currency (provided
that any remaining principal amount hereof shall not be less than the minimum
authorized denomination hereof) at the option of


                                       7
<PAGE>


the holder hereof at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount to be
repaid, together with interest accrued and unpaid hereon to the date of
repayment. For this Note to be repaid at the option of the holder hereof, the
Paying Agent must receive at its corporate trust office in the Borough of
Manhattan, The City of New York, at least 15 but not more than 30 days prior to
the date of repayment, (i) this Note with the form entitled "Option to Elect
Repayment" below duly completed or (ii) a telegram, telex, facsimile
transmission or a letter from a member of a national securities exchange or the
National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or a commercial bank or a
trust company in the United States setting forth the name of the holder of this
Note, the principal amount hereof, the certificate number of this Note or a
description of this Note's tenor and terms, the principal amount hereof to be
repaid, a statement that the option to elect repayment is being exercised
thereby and a guarantee that this Note, together with the form entitled "Option
to Elect Repayment" duly completed, will be received by the Paying Agent not
later than the fifth Business Day after the date of such telegram, telex,
facsimile transmission or letter; provided, that such telegram, telex,
facsimile transmission or letter shall only be effective if this Note and form
duly completed are received by the Paying Agent by such fifth Business Day.
Exercise of such repayment option by the holder hereof shall be irrevocable. In
the event of repayment of this Note in part only, a new Note or Notes for the
amount of the unpaid portion hereof shall be issued in the name of the holder
hereof upon the cancellation hereof.

     Interest payments on this Note will include interest accrued to but
excluding the Interest Payment Dates or the Maturity Date (or any earlier
redemption or repayment date), as the case may be. Unless otherwise provided on
the face hereof, interest payments for this Note will be computed and paid on
the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

     In the case where the Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date (or any
redemption or repayment date) does not fall on a Business Day, payment of
interest, premium, if any, or principal otherwise payable on such date need not
be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with
the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date or on the
Maturity Date (or any redemption or repayment date), and no interest on such
payment shall accrue for the period from and after the Interest Payment Date or
the Maturity Date (or any redemption or repayment date) to such next succeeding
Business Day.

     This Note and all the obligations of the Issuer hereunder are direct,
unsecured obligations of the Issuer and rank without preference or priority
among themselves and pari passu with all other existing and future unsecured
and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Issuer, subject to certain statutory
exceptions in the event of liquidation upon insolvency.

     This Note, and any Note or Notes issued upon transfer or exchange hereof,
is issuable only in fully registered form, without coupons, and, if denominated
in U.S. dollars, unless otherwise stated above, is issuable only in
denominations of U.S. $1,000 and any integral multiple of U.S. $1,000 in excess
thereof. If this Note is denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S.
dollars, then, unless a higher minimum denomination is required by applicable
law, it is issuable only in denominations of the equivalent of U.S. $1,000
(rounded to an integral multiple of 1,000 units of


                                       8
<PAGE>


such Specified Currency), or any amount in excess thereof which is an integral
multiple of 1,000 units of such Specified Currency, as determined by reference
to the noon dollar buying rate in The City of New York for cable transfers of
such Specified Currency published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (the
"Market Exchange Rate") on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of
issuance.

     The Trustee has been appointed registrar for the Notes, and the Trustee
will maintain at its office in The City of New York a register for the
registration and transfer of Notes. This Note may be transferred at the
aforesaid office of the Trustee by surrendering this Note for cancellation,
accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the
Trustee and duly executed by the registered holder hereof in person or by the
holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon the Trustee shall
issue in the name of the transferee or transferees, in exchange herefor, a new
Note or Notes having identical terms and provisions and having a like aggregate
principal amount in authorized denominations, subject to the terms and
conditions set forth herein; provided, however, that the Trustee will not be
required (i) to register the transfer of or exchange any Note that has been
called for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of
Notes being redeemed in part, (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any
Note if the holder thereof has exercised his right, if any, to require the
Issuer to repurchase such Note in whole or in part, except the portion of such
Note not required to be repurchased, or (iii) to register the transfer of or
exchange Notes to the extent and during the period so provided in the Indenture
with respect to the redemption of Notes. Notes are exchangeable at said office
for other Notes of other authorized denominations of equal aggregate principal
amount having identical terms and provisions. All such exchanges and transfers
of Notes will be free of charge, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge in connection
therewith. All Notes surrendered for exchange shall be accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and executed by the
registered holder in person or by the holder's attorney duly authorized in
writing. The date of registration of any Note delivered upon any exchange or
transfer of Notes shall be such that no gain or loss of interest results from
such exchange or transfer.

     In case this Note shall at any time become mutilated, defaced or be
destroyed, lost or stolen and this Note or evidence of the loss, theft or
destruction thereof (together with the indemnity hereinafter referred to and
such other documents or proof as may be required in the premises) shall be
delivered to the Trustee, the Issuer in its discretion may execute a new Note
of like tenor in exchange for this Note, but, if this Note is destroyed, lost
or stolen, only upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee and the
Issuer that this Note was destroyed or lost or stolen and, if required, upon
receipt also of indemnity satisfactory to each of them. All expenses and
reasonable charges associated with procuring such indemnity and with the
preparation, authentication and delivery of a new Note shall be borne by the
owner of the Note mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen.

     The Indenture provides that (a) if an Event of Default (as defined in the
Indenture) due to the default in payment of principal of, premium, if any, or
interest on, any series of debt securities issued under the Indenture,
including the series of Medium-Term Notes of which this Note forms a part,


                                       9
<PAGE>


or due to the default in the performance or breach of any other covenant or
warranty of the Issuer applicable to the debt securities of such series but not
applicable to all outstanding debt securities issued under the Indenture, shall
have occurred and be continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of not less
than 25% in principal amount of the debt securities of each affected series
(voting as a single class) may then declare the principal of all debt
securities of all such series and interest accrued thereon to be due and
payable immediately and (b) if an Event of Default due to a default in the
performance of any other of the covenants or agreements in the Indenture
applicable to all outstanding debt securities issued thereunder, including this
Note, or due to certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency of the Issuer, shall
have occurred and be continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of not less
than 25% in principal amount of all debt securities issued under the Indenture
then outstanding (treated as one class) may declare the principal of all such
debt securities and interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately,
but upon certain conditions such declarations may be annulled and past defaults
may be waived (except a continuing default in payment of principal (or premium,
if any) or interest on such debt securities) by the holders of a majority in
principal amount of the debt securities of all affected series then
outstanding.

     If the face hereof indicates that this Note is subject to "Modified
Payment upon Acceleration," then (i) if the principal hereof is declared to be
due and payable as described in the preceding paragraph, the amount of
principal due and payable with respect to this Note shall be limited to the
aggregate principal amount hereof multiplied by the sum of the Issue Price
specified on the face hereof (expressed as a percentage of the aggregate
principal amount) plus the original issue discount amortized from the Interest
Accrual Date to the date of declaration, which amortization shall be calculated
using the "interest method" (computed in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles in effect on the date of declaration), (ii) for the
purpose of any vote of securityholders taken pursuant to the Indenture prior to
the acceleration of payment of this Note, the principal amount hereof shall
equal the amount that would be due and payable hereon, calculated as set forth
in clause (i) above, if this Note were declared to be due and payable on the
date of any such vote and (iii) for the purpose of any vote of securityholders
taken pursuant to the Indenture following the acceleration of payment of this
Note, the principal amount hereof shall equal the amount of principal due and
payable with respect to this Note, calculated as set forth in clause (i) above.

     The Indenture permits the Issuer and the Trustee, with the consent of the
holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the debt
securities of all series issued under the Indenture then outstanding and
affected (voting as one class), to execute supplemental indentures adding any
provisions to or changing in any manner the rights of the holders of each
series so affected; provided that the Issuer and the Trustee may not, without
the consent of the holder of each outstanding debt security affected thereby,
(a) extend the final maturity of any such debt security, or reduce the
principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of
interest thereon, or reduce any amount payable on redemption or repayment
thereof, or change the currency of payment thereof, or modify or amend the
provisions for conversion of any currency into any other currency, or modify or
amend the provisions for conversion or exchange of the debt security for
securities of the Issuer or other entities (other than as provided in the

similar adjustment provisions of the debt securities or otherwise in accordance

institute suit for the payment thereof without the consent of the holder of
each debt security so affected or (b) reduce the aforesaid percentage in
principal amount of debt securities the consent of the holders of which is
required for any such supplemental indenture.

     Except as set forth below, if the principal of, premium, if any, or
interest on, this Note is payable in a Specified Currency other than U.S.
dollars and such Specified Currency is not available to the Issuer for making
payments hereon due to the imposition of exchange controls or other
circumstances beyond the control of the Issuer or is no longer used by the
government of the country issuing such currency or for the settlement of
transactions by public institutions within the international banking community,
then the Issuer will be entitled to satisfy its obligations to the holder of
this Note by making such payments in U.S. dollars on the basis of the Market
Exchange Rate on the date of such payment or, if the Market Exchange Rate is
not available on such date, as of the most recent practicable date; provided,
however, that if the euro has been substituted for such Specified Currency, the
Issuer may at its option (or shall, if so required by applicable law) without
the consent of the holder of this Note effect the payment of principal of,
premium, if any, or interest on, any Note denominated in such Specified
Currency in euro in lieu of such Specified Currency in conformity with legally
applicable measures taken pursuant to, or by virtue of, the treaty establishing
the European Community (the "EC"), as amended by the treaty on European Union
(as so amended, the "Treaty"). Any payment made under such circumstances in
U.S. dollars or euro where the required payment is in an unavailable Specified
Currency will not constitute an Event of Default. If such Market Exchange Rate
is not then available to the Issuer or is not published for a particular
Specified Currency, the Market Exchange Rate will be based on the highest bid
quotation in The City of New York received by the Exchange Rate Agent at
approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second Business Day
preceding the date of such payment from three recognized foreign exchange
dealers (the "Exchange Dealers") for the purchase by the quoting Exchange
Dealer of the Specified Currency for U.S. dollars for settlement on the payment
date, in the aggregate amount of the Specified Currency payable to those
holders or beneficial owners of Notes and at which the applicable Exchange
Dealer commits to execute a contract. One of the Exchange Dealers providing
quotations may be the Exchange Rate Agent unless the Exchange Rate Agent is an
affiliate of the Issuer. If those bid quotations are not available, the
Exchange Rate Agent shall determine the market exchange rate at its sole
discretion.

     The "Exchange Rate Agent" shall be [              ], unless otherwise
indicated on the face hereof.

     All determinations referred to above made by, or on behalf of, the Issuer
or by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent shall be at such entity's sole
discretion and shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all
purposes and binding on holders of Notes and coupons.

     So long as this Note shall be outstanding, the Issuer will cause to be
maintained an office or agency for the payment of the principal of and premium,
if any, and interest on this Note as herein


                                       11
<PAGE>


provided in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, and an office or
agency in said Borough of Manhattan for the registration, transfer and exchange
as aforesaid of the Notes. The Issuer may designate other agencies for the
payment of said principal, premium and interest at such place or places
(subject to applicable laws and regulations) as the Issuer may decide. So long
as there shall be such an agency, the Issuer shall keep the Trustee advised of
the names and locations of such agencies, if any are so designated.

     With respect to moneys paid by the Issuer and held by the Trustee or any
Paying Agent for payment of the principal of or interest or premium, if any, on
any Notes that remain unclaimed at the end of two years after such principal,
interest or premium shall have become due and payable (whether at maturity or
upon call for redemption or otherwise), (i) the Trustee or such Paying Agent
shall notify the holders of such Notes that such moneys shall be repaid to the
Issuer and any person claiming such moneys shall thereafter look only to the
Issuer for payment thereof and (ii) such moneys shall be so repaid to the
Issuer. Upon such repayment all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent
with respect to such moneys shall thereupon cease, without, however, limiting
in any way any obligation that the Issuer may have to pay the principal of or
interest or premium, if any, on this Note as the same shall become due.

     No provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the
obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the
principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this Note at the time, place,
and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed unless otherwise
agreed between the Issuer and the registered holder of this Note.

     Prior to due presentment of this Note for registration of transfer, the
Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee may treat the
holder in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for all
purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and none of the Issuer, the
Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

     No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of, premium, if
any, or the interest on this Note, for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in
respect hereof, or based on or in respect of the Indenture or any indenture
supplemental thereto, against any incorporator, shareholder, officer or
director, as such, past, present or future, of the Issuer or of any successor
corporation, either directly or through the Issuer or any successor
corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law or
by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such
liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for
the issue hereof, expressly waived and released.

     This Note shall for all purposes be governed by, and construed in
accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

     All terms used in this Note which are defined in the Indenture and not
otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the
Indenture.

reverse hereof until the principal hereof is paid or duly made available for
payment. The Issuer will pay interest in arrears weekly, monthly, quarterly,
semiannually or annually as specified above as the Interest Payment Period on
each Interest Payment Date (as specified above), commencing with the first
Interest Payment Date next succeeding the Interest Accrual Date specified
above, and on the Maturity Date (or any redemption or repayment date);
provided, however, that if the Interest Accrual Date occurs between a Record
Date, as defined below, and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest
payments will commence on the second Interest Payment Date succeeding the
Interest Accrual Date to the registered holder of this Note on the Record Date
with respect to such second Interest Payment Date; and provided, further, that
if an Interest Payment Date (other than the Maturity Date or redemption or
repayment date) would fall on a day that is not a Business Day, as defined on
the reverse hereof, such Interest Payment Date shall be the following day that
is a Business Day, except that if the Base Rate specified above is LIBOR and
such next Business Day falls in the next calendar month, such Interest Payment
Date shall be the immediately preceding day that is a Business Day; and
provided, further, that if the Maturity Date or redemption or repayment date
would fall on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on
the following day that is a Business Day and no interest shall accrue for the
period from and after such Maturity Date or redemption or repayment date.

     Interest on this Note will accrue from and including the most recent date
to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, or, if no interest has
been paid or duly provided for, from and including the Interest Accrual Date,
until but excluding the date the principal hereof has been paid or duly made
available for payment. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly
provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, subject to certain exceptions
described herein, be paid to the person in whose name this Note (or one or more
predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on the date 15
calendar days prior to such Interest Payment Date (whether or not a Business
Day) (each such date a "Record Date"); provided, however, that interest payable
at maturity (or any redemption or repayment date) will be payable to the person
to whom the principal hereof shall be payable.

     Payment of the principal of this Note, any premium and the interest due at
maturity (or any redemption or repayment date), unless this Note is denominated
in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars and is to be paid in whole or
in part in such Specified Currency, will be made in immediately available funds
upon surrender of this Note at the office or agency of the Paying Agent, as
defined on the reverse hereof, maintained for that purpose in the Borough of
Manhattan, The City of New York, or at such other paying agency as the Issuer
may determine, in U.S. dollars. U.S. dollar payments of interest, other than
interest due at maturity or on any date of redemption or repayment, will be
made by U.S. dollar check mailed to the address of the person entitled thereto
as such address shall appear in the Note register. A holder of U.S. $10,000,000
(or the equivalent in a Specified Currency) or more in aggregate principal
amount of Notes having the same Interest Payment Date, the interest on which is
payable in U.S. dollars, shall be entitled to receive payments of interest,
other than interest due at maturity or on any date of redemption or repayment,

by the Paying Agent in writing not less than 15 calendar days prior to the
applicable Interest Payment Date.

     If this Note is denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S.
dollars, and the holder does not elect (in whole or in part) to receive payment
in U.S. dollars pursuant to the next succeeding paragraph, payments of
interest, principal or any premium with regard to this Note will be made by
wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account maintained by the
holder hereof with a bank located outside the United States if appropriate wire
transfer instructions have been received by the Paying Agent in writing [not
less than 15 calendar days prior to the applicable payment date]6 [, with
respect to payments of interest, on or prior to the fifth Business Day after
the applicable Record Date and, with respect to payments of principal or any
premium, at least ten Business Days prior to the Maturity Date or any
redemption or repayment date, as the case may be]7; provided that, if payment
of interest, principal or any premium with regard to this Note is payable in
euro, the account must be a euro account in a country for which the euro is the
lawful currency, provided, further, that if such wire transfer instructions are
not received, such payments will be made by check payable in such Specified
Currency mailed to the address of the person entitled thereto as such address
shall appear in the Note register; and provided, further, that payment of the
principal of this Note, any premium and the interest due at maturity (or on any
redemption or repayment date) will be made upon surrender of this Note at the
office or agency referred to in the preceding paragraph.

     If so indicated on the face hereof, the holder of this Note, if
denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, may elect to
receive all or a portion of payments on this Note in U.S. dollars by
transmitting a written request to the Paying Agent, on or prior to the fifth
Business Day after such Record Date or at least ten Business Days prior to the
Maturity Date or any redemption or repayment date, as the case may be. Such
election shall remain in effect unless such request is revoked by written
notice to the Paying Agent as to all or a portion of payments on this Note at
least five Business Days prior to such Record Date, for payments of interest,
or at least ten days prior to the Maturity Date or any redemption or repayment
date, for payments of principal, as the case may be.

     If the holder elects to receive all or a portion of payments of principal
of and any premium and interest on this Note, if denominated in a Specified
Currency other than U.S. dollars, in U.S. dollars, the Exchange Rate Agent (as
defined on the reverse hereof) will convert such payments into U.S. dollars. In
the event of such an election, payment in respect of this Note will be based
upon the exchange rate as determined by the Exchange Rate Agent based on the
highest bid quotation in The City of New York received by such Exchange Rate
Agent at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second Business
Day preceding the applicable payment date from three recognized foreign
exchange dealers (one of which may be the Exchange Rate Agent unless such

                         [FORM OF REVERSE OF SECURITY]

     This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Medium-Term Notes, Series
B, having maturities more than nine months from the date of issue (the "Notes")
of the Issuer. The Notes are issuable under an Indenture, dated as of [       ],
2001, between the Issuer and Bankers Trust Company, as Trustee (the "Trustee,"
which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture) (as may be
amended or supplemented from time to time, the "Indenture"), to which Indenture
and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a
statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and
immunities of the Issuer, the Trustee and holders of the Notes and the terms
upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. The
Issuer has appointed Bankers Trust Company at its corporate trust office in The
City of New York as the paying agent (the "Paying Agent," which term includes
any additional or successor Paying Agent appointed by the Issuer) with respect
to the Notes. The terms of individual Notes may vary with respect to interest
rates, interest rate formulas, issue dates, maturity dates, or otherwise, all
as provided in the Indenture. To the extent not inconsistent herewith, the

     Unless otherwise indicated on the face hereof, this Note will not be
subject to any sinking fund and, unless otherwise provided on the face hereof
in accordance with the provisions of the following two paragraphs, will not be

     If so indicated on the face hereof, this Note may be redeemed in whole or
in part at the option of the Issuer on or after the Initial Redemption Date
specified on the face hereof on the terms set forth on the face hereof,
together with interest accrued and unpaid hereon to the date of redemption. If
this Note is subject to "Annual Redemption Percentage Reduction," the Initial

to the registered holders of the Notes designated for redemption at their
addresses as the same shall appear on the Note register not less than 30 nor
more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption or within the
Redemption Notice Period specified on the face hereof, subject to all the
conditions and provisions of the Indenture. In the event of redemption of this
Note in part only, a new Note or Notes for the amount of the unredeemed portion
hereof shall be issued in the name of the holder hereof upon the cancellation
hereof.

     If so indicated on the face of this Note, this Note will be subject to
repayment at the option of the holder on the Optional Repayment Date or Dates
specified on the face hereof on the terms set forth herein. On any Optional
Repayment Date, this Note will be repayable in whole or in part in increments

that any remaining principal amount hereof shall not be less than the minimum
authorized denomination hereof) at the option of


                                       7
<PAGE>


the holder hereof at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount to be
repaid, together with interest accrued and unpaid hereon to the date of
repayment. For this Note to be repaid at the option of the holder hereof, the
Paying Agent must receive at its corporate trust office in the Borough of
Manhattan, The City of New York, at least 15 but not more than 30 days prior to
the date of repayment, (i) this Note with the form entitled "Option to Elect

National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or a commercial bank or a
trust company in the United States setting forth the name of the holder of this
Note, the principal amount hereof, the certificate number of this Note or a
description of this Note's tenor and terms, the principal amount hereof to be
repaid, a statement that the option to elect repayment is being exercised
thereby and a guarantee that this Note, together with the form entitled "Option
to Elect Repayment" duly completed, will be received by the Paying Agent not
later than the fifth Business Day after the date of such telegram, telex,
facsimile transmission or letter; provided, that such telegram, telex,
facsimile transmission or letter shall only be effective if this Note and form
duly completed are received by the Paying Agent by such fifth Business Day.
Exercise of such repayment option by the holder hereof shall be irrevocable. In
the event of repayment of this Note in part only, a new Note or Notes for the
amount of the unpaid portion hereof shall be issued in the name of the holder
hereof upon the cancellation hereof.

     This Note will bear interest at the rate determined in accordance with the
applicable provisions below by reference to the Base Rate shown on the face
hereof based on the Index Maturity, if any, shown on the face hereof (i) plus
or minus the Spread, if any, and/or (ii) multiplied by the Spread Multiplier,
if any, specified on the face hereof. Commencing with the Initial Interest
Reset Date specified on the face hereof, the rate at which interest on this
Note is payable shall be reset as of each Interest Reset Date specified on the
face hereof (as used herein, the term "Interest Reset Date" shall include the
Initial Interest Reset Date). The determination of the rate of interest at
which this Note will be reset on any Interest Reset Date shall be made on the
Interest Determination Date (as defined below) pertaining to such Interest
Reset Dates. The Interest Reset Dates will be the Interest Reset Dates
specified on the face hereof; provided, however, that (a) the interest rate in
effect for the period from the Interest Accrual Date to the Initial Interest
Reset Date will be the Initial Interest Rate and (b) unless otherwise specified
on the face hereof, the interest rate in effect for the ten calendar days
immediately prior to maturity, redemption or repayment will be that in effect
on the tenth calendar day preceding such maturity, redemption or repayment
date. If any Interest Reset Date would otherwise be a day that is not a
Business Day, such Interest Reset Date shall be postponed to the next
succeeding day that is a Business Day, except that if the Base Rate specified
on the face hereof is LIBOR and such Business Day is in the next succeeding
calendar month, such Interest Reset Date shall be the immediately preceding
Business Day. As used herein, "Business Day" means any day, other than a
Saturday or Sunday, (a) that is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which
banking institutions are authorized or required by law or regulation to close
(x) in The City of New York or (y) if this Note is denominated in a Specified
Currency other than U.S. dollars, Australian dollars or euro, in the principal
financial center of the country of the Specified Currency, or (z) if this Note
is denominated in Australian dollars, in Sydney and (b) if this Note is


                                       8
<PAGE>


denominated in euro, that is also a day on which the Trans-European Automated
Real-time Gross Settlement Express Transfer System ("TARGET") is operating (a
"TARGET Settlement Day").

     The Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for
Notes bearing interest calculated by reference to the CD Rate, Commercial Paper
Rate, Federal Funds Rate, and Prime Rate will be the second Business Day next
preceding such Interest Reset Date. The Interest Determination Date pertaining
to an Interest Reset Date for Notes bearing interest calculated by reference to
LIBOR when the Index Currency is euros shall be the second TARGET Settlement
Day preceding such Interest Reset Date. The Interest Determination Date
pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for Notes bearing interest calculated by
reference to LIBOR (other than for LIBOR Notes for which the Index Currency is
euros) shall be the second London Banking Day preceding such Interest Reset
Date, except that the Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest
Reset Date for a LIBOR Note for which the Index Currency is pounds sterling
will be such Interest Reset Date. As used herein, "London Banking Day" means
any day on which dealings in deposits in the Index Currency (as defined herein)
are transacted in the London interbank market. The Interest Determination Date
pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for Notes bearing interest calculated by
reference to the Treasury Rate shall be the day of the week in which such
Interest Reset Date falls on which Treasury bills normally would be auctioned;
provided, however, that if as a result of a legal holiday an auction is held on
the Friday of the week preceding such Interest Reset Date, the related Interest
Determination Date shall be such preceding Friday; and provided, further, that
if an auction shall fall on any Interest Reset Date, then the Interest Reset
Date shall instead be the first Business Day following the date of such
auction.

     Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, the "Calculation Date"
pertaining to an Interest Determination Date will be the earlier of (i) the
tenth calendar day after such Interest Determination Date or, if such day is
not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day, or (ii) the Business Day
preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date (or, with
respect to any principal amount to be redeemed or repaid, any redemption or
repayment date), as the case may be.

     Determination of Commercial Paper Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the
face hereof is the "Commercial Paper Rate," for any Interest Determination
Date, the Commercial Paper Rate with respect to this Note shall be the Money
Market Yield (as defined herein), calculated as described below, of the rate on
that date for commercial paper having the Index Maturity specified on the face
hereof, as that rate is published in H.15(519), under the heading "Commercial
Paper -- Nonfinancial."

     The following procedures shall be followed if the Commercial Paper Rate
cannot be determined as described above:

     (i) If the above rate is not published by 9:00 a.m., New York City time,
on the Calculation Date, then the Commercial Paper Rate shall be the Money
Market Yield of the rate on that Interest

Determination Date for commercial paper of the Index Maturity specified on the
face hereof as published in the H.15 Daily Update under the heading "Commercial
Paper -- Nonfinancial."

     (ii) If by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on that Calculation Date the
rate is not yet published in either H.15(519) or the H.15 Daily Update, then
the Calculation Agent shall determine the Commercial Paper Rate to be the Money
Market Yield of the arithmetic mean of the offered rates as of 11:00 a.m., New
York City time, on that Interest Determination Date of three leading dealers of
commercial paper in The City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent
(after consultation with the Issuer) for commercial paper of the Index Maturity
specified on the face hereof, placed for an industrial issuer whose bond rating
is "AA," or the equivalent, from a nationally recognized statistical rating
agency.

     (iii) If the dealers selected by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as
mentioned above, the Commercial Paper Rate for that Interest Determination Date
shall remain the Commercial Paper Rate for the immediately preceding Interest
Reset Period, or, if there was no Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest
payable shall be the Initial Interest Rate.

     "H.15 (519)" means the publication entitled "Statistical Release H.15

through the worldwide website of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System at http://www.bog.frb.fed.us/releases/h15/update, or any successor site

     The "Money Market Yield" shall be a yield calculated in accordance with
the following formula:

                                            D x 360
                    Money Market Yield = -------------  x 100
                                         360 - (D x M)

where "D" refers to the applicable per year rate for commercial paper quoted on
a bank discount basis and expressed as a decimal and "M" refers to the actual
number of days in the interest period for which interest is being calculated.

     Determination of the Federal Funds Rates. If the Base Rate specified on
the face hereof is the "Federal Funds Rate," for any Interest Determination
Date, the Federal Funds Rate with respect to this Note shall be the rate on
that date for federal funds as published in H.15(519) under the heading
"Federal Funds (Effective [Rate])" as displayed on Bridge Telerate, Inc., or
any successor service, on page 120 or any other page as may replace page 120 on

     The following procedures shall be followed if the Federal Funds Rate
cannot be determined as described above:

     (ii) If that rate is not yet published in either H.15(519) or the H.15
Daily Update by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Calculation Date, the
Calculation Agent shall determine the Federal Funds Rate to be the arithmetic
mean of the rates for the last transaction in overnight federal funds by each
of three leading brokers of federal funds transactions in The City of New York
selected by the Calculation Agent (after consultation with the Issuer) prior to
9:00 a.m., New York City time, on that Interest Determination Date.

     (iii) If the brokers selected by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as
mentioned above, the Federal Funds Rate relating to that Interest Determination
Date shall remain the Federal Funds Rate for the immediately preceding Interest
Reset Period, or, if there was no Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest
payable shall be the Initial Interest Rate.

     Determination of LIBOR. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is
"LIBOR," LIBOR with respect to this Note shall be based on London interbank
offered rate. The Calculation Agent shall determine "LIBOR" for each Interest
Determination Date as follows:

     (i) As of the Interest Determination Date, LIBOR shall be either (a) if
"LIBOR Reuters" is specified as the Reporting Service on the face hereof, the
arithmetic mean of the offered rates for deposits in the Index Currency having
the Index Maturity designated on the face hereof, commencing on the second
London Banking Day immediately following that Interest Determination Date, that
appear on the Designated LIBOR Page, as defined below, as of 11:00 a.m., London
time, on that Interest Determination Date, if at least two offered rates appear
on the Designated LIBOR Page; except that if the specified Designated LIBOR
Page, by its terms provides only for a single rate, that single rate shall be
used; or (b) if "LIBOR Telerate" is specified as the Reporting Service on the
face hereof, the rate for deposits in the Index Currency having the Index
Maturity designated on the face hereof, commencing on the second London Banking
Day immediately following that Interest Determination Date or, if pounds
sterling is the Index Currency, commencing on that Interest Determination Date,
that appears on the Designated LIBOR Page at approximately 11:00 a.m., London
time, on that Interest Determination Date.

     (ii) If (a) fewer than two offered rates appear and LIBOR Reuters is
specified on the face hereof, and the Desginated LIBOR Page by its terms does
not provide only for a single rate, or (b) no rate appears and the face hereof
specifies either (x) LIBOR Telerate or (y) LIBOR Reuters and the Designated
LIBOR Page by its terms provides only for a single rate, then the Calculation
Agent shall request the principal London offices of each of four major
reference banks in the London interbank market, as selected by the Calculation
Agent (after consultation with the Issuer) to provide


                                       11

Currency for the period of the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof
commencing on the second London Banking Day immediately following the Interest
Determination Date or, if pounds sterling is the Index Currency, commencing on
that Interest Determination Date, to prime banks in the London interbank market
at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on that Interest Determination Date
and in a principal amount that is representative of a single transaction in
that Index Currency in that market at that time.

     (iii) If at least two quotations are provided, LIBOR determined on that
Interest Determination Date shall be the arithmetic mean of those quotations.
If fewer than two quotations are provided, LIBOR shall be determined for the
applicable Interest Reset Date as the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted at
approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, or some other time specified on the face
hereof, in the applicable principal financial center for the country of the
Index Currency on that Interest Reset Date, by three major banks in that
principal financial center selected by the Calculation Agent (after
consultation with the Issuer) for loans in the Index Currency to leading
European banks, having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof and in a
principal amount that is representative of a single transaction in that Index
Currency in that market at that time.

     (iv) If the banks so selected by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as
described in (iii) above, LIBOR in effect for the applicable period shall be
the same as LIBOR for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period, or, if
there was no Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable shall be the
Initial Interest Rate.

     The "Index Currency" means the currency specified on the face hereof as
the currency for which LIBOR shall be calculated, or, if the euro is
substituted for that currency, the Index Currency shall be the euro. If that
currency is not specified on the face hereof, the Index Currency shall be U.S.
dollars.

     "Designated LIBOR Page" means either: (a) if LIBOR Reuters is designated

hereof, LIBOR for the applicable Index Currency shall be determined as if LIBOR
Telerate were specified, and, if the U.S. dollar is the Index Currency, as if
Page 3750, had been specified.

     Determination of Prime Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof

Determination Date as published in H.15 Daily Update under the heading "Bank
Prime Loan."

     (ii) If the rate is not published prior to 3:00 p.m., New York City time,
on the Calculation Date in either H.15(519) or the H.15 Daily Update, then the
Calculation Agent shall determine the Prime Rate to be the arithmetic mean of
the rates of interest publicly announced by each bank that appears on the
Reuters Screen USPRIME 1 Page, as defined below, as that bank's Prime Rate or
base lending rate as in effect for that Interest Determination Date.

     (iii) If fewer than four rates appear on the Reuters Screen USPRIME 1 Page
for that Interest Determination Date, the Calculation Agent shall determine the
Prime Rate to be the arithmetic mean of the Prime Rates quoted on the basis of
the actual number of days in the year divided by 360 as of the close of
business on that Interest Determination Date by at least three major banks in
The City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent (after consultation with
the Issuer).

     (iv) If fewer than two banks selected by the calculation agent are quoting
as mentioned in the previous bullet point, the calculation agent will determine
the prime rate to be the arithmetic mean of the prime rates in New York City
quoted by substitute banks or trust companies selected by the calculation
agent. The substitute banks or trust companies must be organized and doing
business under the laws of the United States and must have a total equity
capital of at least U.S. $500 million and be subject to supervision or
examination by federal or state authority.

     (v) If the substitute banks or trust companies selected are not quoting as
described in (iii) above, the Prime Rate shall remain the Prime Rate for the
immediately preceding Interest Reset Period, or, if there was no Interest Reset
Period, the rate of interest payable shall be the Initial Interest Rate.

     "Reuters Screen USPRIME 1 Page" means the display designated as page
"USPRIME 1" on the Reuters Monitor Money Rates Service, or any successor

     Determination of Treasury Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face

     (i) the rate from the Auction held on the applicable Interest
Determination Date (the "Auction") of direct obligations of the United States
("Treasury Bills") having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof as
that rate appears under the caption "INVESTMENT RATE" on the display on Bridge
Telerate, Inc., or any successor service, on page 56 or any other page as may


                                       13

Bills/Secondary Market;" or

     (v) if the rate described in (iv) above is not so published by 3:00 p.m.,
New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, the rate on the applicable
Interest Determination Date of the applicable Treasury Bills as published in
H.15 Daily Update, or other recognized electronic source used for the purpose

     (vi) if the rate described in (v) above is not so published by 3:00 p.m.,
New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, the rate on the applicable
Interest Determination Date calculated by the Calculation Agent as the Bond
Equivalent Yield of the arithmetic mean of the secondary market bid rates, as

     The "Bond Equivalent Yield" means a yield calculated in accordance with
the following formula and expressed as a percentage:

                                        D x N
             Bond Equivalent Yield = -------------  x 100
                                     360 - (D x M)


                                      14
<PAGE>


where "D" refers to the applicable per annum rate for Treasury Bills quoted on
a bank discount basis, "N" refers to 365 or 366, as the case may be, and "M"
refers to the actual number of days in the interest period for which interest
is being calculated.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, the interest rate hereon shall not be
greater than the Maximum Interest Rate, if any, or less than the Minimum
Interest Rate, if any, specified on the face hereof. The Calculation Agent
shall calculate the interest rate hereon in accordance with the foregoing on or
before each Calculation Date. The interest rate on this Note will in no event
be higher than the maximum rate permitted by New York law, as the same may be
modified by United States Federal law of general application.

     At the request of the holder hereof, the Calculation Agent will provide to
the holder hereof the interest rate hereon then in effect and, if determined,
the interest rate that will become effective as of the next Interest Reset
Date.

     Unless otherwise indicated on the face hereof, interest payments on this
Note shall be the amount of interest accrued from and including the Interest
Accrual Date or from and including the last date to which interest has been
paid or duly provided for to, but excluding the Interest Payment Dates or the
Maturity Date (or any earlier redemption or repayment date), as the case may
be. Accrued interest hereon shall be an amount calculated by multiplying the
face amount hereof by an accrued interest factor. Such accrued interest factor
shall be computed by adding the interest factor calculated for each day in the
period for which interest is being paid. The interest factor for each such date
shall be computed by dividing the interest rate applicable to such day (i) by
360 if the Base Rate is CD Rate, Commercial Paper Rate, Federal Funds Rate,
Prime Rate or LIBOR (except if the Index Currency is pounds sterling); (ii) by
365 if the Base Rate is LIBOR and the Index Currency is pounds sterling; or
(iii) by the actual number of days in the year if the Base Rate is the Treasury
Rate. All percentages resulting from any calculation of the rate of interest on
this Note will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth
of a percentage point (.0000001), with five one-millionths of a percentage
point rounded upward, and all dollar amounts used in or resulting from such
calculation on this Note will be rounded to the nearest cent (with one-half
cent rounded upward). The interest rate in effect on any Interest Reset Date
will be the applicable rate as reset on such date. The interest rate applicable
to any other day is the interest rate from the immediately preceding Interest
Reset Date (or, if none, the Initial Interest Rate).

     This Note and all the obligations of the Issuer hereunder are direct,
unsecured obligations of the Issuer and rank without preference or priority
among themselves and pari passu with all other existing and future unsecured
and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Issuer, subject to certain statutory
exceptions in the event of liquidation upon insolvency.

     This Note, and any Note or Notes issued upon transfer or exchange hereof,
is issuable only in fully registered form, without coupons, and, if denominated
in U.S. dollars, unless otherwise stated above, is issuable only in
denominations of U.S. $1,000 and any integral multiple of U.S. $1,000 in excess
thereof. If this Note is denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S.
dollars,


                                      15

then, unless a higher minimum denomination is required by applicable law, it is
issuable only in denominations of the equivalent of U.S. $1,000 (rounded to an
integral multiple of 1,000 units of such Specified Currency), or any amount in
excess thereof which is an integral multiple of 1,000 units of such Specified
Currency, as determined by reference to the noon dollar buying rate in The City
of New York for cable transfers of such Specified Currency published by the
Federal Reserve Bank of New York (the "Market Exchange Rate") on the Business
Day immediately preceding the date of issuance.

     The Trustee has been appointed registrar for the Notes, and the Trustee
will maintain at its office in The City of New York a register for the
registration and transfer of Notes. This Note may be transferred at the
aforesaid office of the Trustee by surrendering this Note for cancellation,
accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the
Trustee and duly executed by the registered holder hereof in person or by the
holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon the Trustee shall
issue in the name of the transferee or transferees, in exchange herefor, a new
Note or Notes having identical terms and provisions and having a like aggregate
principal amount in authorized denominations, subject to the terms and
conditions set forth herein; provided, however, that the Trustee will not be
required (i) to register the transfer of or exchange any Note that has been
called for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of
Notes being redeemed in part, (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any
Note if the holder thereof has exercised his right, if any, to require the
Issuer to repurchase such Note in whole or in part, except the portion of such
Note not required to be repurchased, or (iii) to register the transfer of or
exchange Notes to the extent and during the period so provided in the Indenture
with respect to the redemption of Notes. Notes are exchangeable at said office
for other Notes of other authorized denominations of equal aggregate principal
amount having identical terms and provisions. All such exchanges and transfers
of Notes will be free of charge, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge in connection
therewith. All Notes surrendered for exchange shall be accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and executed by the
registered holder in person or by the holder's attorney duly authorized in
writing. The date of registration of any Note delivered upon any exchange or
transfer of Notes shall be such that no gain or loss of interest results from
such exchange or transfer.

     In case this Note shall at any time become mutilated, defaced or be
destroyed, lost or stolen and this Note or evidence of the loss, theft or
destruction thereof (together with the indemnity hereinafter referred to and
such other documents or proof as may be required in the premises) shall be
delivered to the Trustee, the Issuer in its discretion may execute a new Note
of like tenor in exchange for this Note, but, if this Note is destroyed, lost
or stolen, only upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee and the
Issuer that this Note was destroyed or lost or stolen and, if required, upon
receipt also of indemnity satisfactory to each of them. All expenses and
reasonable charges associated with procuring such indemnity and with the
preparation, authentication and delivery of a new Note shall be borne by the
owner of the Note mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen.

     The Indenture provides that (a) if an Event of Default (as defined in the
Indenture) due to the default in payment of principal of, premium, if any, or
interest on, any series of debt securities issued under the Indenture,
including the series of Medium-Term Notes of which this Note forms a part, or
due to the default in the performance or breach of any other covenant or
warranty of the Issuer applicable to the debt securities of such series but not
applicable to all outstanding debt securities issued under the Indenture, shall
have occurred and be continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of not less
than 25% in principal amount of the debt securities of each affected series
(voting as a single class) may then declare the principal of all debt
securities of all such series and interest accrued thereon to be due and
payable immediately and (b) if an Event of Default due to a default in the
performance of any other of the covenants or agreements in the Indenture
applicable to all outstanding debt securities issued thereunder, including this
Note, or due to certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency of the Issuer, shall
have occurred and be continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of not less
than 25% in principal amount of all debt securities issued under the Indenture
then outstanding (treated as one class) may declare the principal of all such
debt securities and interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately,
but upon certain conditions such declarations may be annulled and past defaults
may be waived (except a continuing default in payment of principal (or premium,
if any) or interest on such debt securities) by the holders of a majority in
principal amount of the debt securities of all affected series then
outstanding.

     The Indenture permits the Issuer and the Trustee, with the consent of the
holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the debt
securities of all series issued under the Indenture then outstanding and
affected (voting as one class), to execute supplemental indentures adding any
provisions to or changing in any manner the rights of the holders of each
series so affected; provided that the Issuer and the Trustee may not, without
the consent of the holder of each outstanding debt security affected thereby,
(a) extend the final maturity of any such debt security, or reduce the
principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of
interest thereon, or reduce any amount payable on redemption or repayment
thereof, or change the currency of payment thereof, or modify or amend the
provisions for conversion of any currency into any other currency, or modify or
amend the provisions for conversion or exchange of the debt security for
securities of the Issuer or other entities (other than as provided in the
antidilution provisions or other similar adjustment provisions of the debt
securities or otherwise in accordance with the terms thereof), or impair or
affect the rights of any holder to institute suit for the payment thereof
without the consent of the holder of each debt security so affected or (b)
reduce the aforesaid percentage in principal amount of debt securities the
consent of the holders of which is required for any such supplemental
indenture.

     Except as set forth below, if the principal of, premium, if any, or
interest on, this Note is payable in a Specified Currency other than U.S.
dollars and such Specified Currency is not available to the Issuer for making
payments hereon due to the imposition of exchange controls or other
circumstances beyond the control of the Issuer or is no longer used by the
government of the country issuing such currency or for the settlement of
transactions by public institutions within the international banking community,
then the Issuer will be entitled to satisfy its obligations to the holder of
this Note by making such payments in U.S. dollars on the basis of the Market
Exchange


                                       17
<PAGE>


Rate on the date of such payment or, if the Market Exchange Rate is not
available on such date, as of the most recent practicable date; provided,
however, that if the euro has been substituted for such Specified Currency, the
Issuer may at its option (or shall, if so required by applicable law) without
the consent of the holder of this Note effect the payment of principal of,
premium, if any, or interest on, any Note denominated in such Specified
Currency in euro in lieu of such Specified Currency in conformity with legally
applicable measures taken pursuant to, or by virtue of, the treaty establishing
the European Community (the "EC"), as amended by the treaty on European Union
(as so amended, the "Treaty"). Any payment made under such circumstances in
U.S. dollars or euro where the required payment is in an unavailable Specified
Currency will not constitute an Event of Default. If such Market Exchange Rate
is not then available to the Issuer or is not published for a particular
Specified Currency, the Market Exchange Rate will be based on the highest bid
quotation in The City of New York received by the Exchange Rate Agent at
approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second Business Day
preceding the date of such payment from three recognized foreign exchange
dealers (the "Exchange Dealers") for the purchase by the quoting Exchange
Dealer of the Specified Currency for U.S. dollars for settlement on the payment
date, in the aggregate amount of the Specified Currency payable to those
holders or beneficial owners of Notes and at which the applicable Exchange
Dealer commits to execute a contract. One of the Exchange Dealers providing
quotations may be the Exchange Rate Agent unless the Exchange Rate Agent is an
affiliate of the Issuer. If those bid quotations are not available, the
Exchange Rate Agent shall determine the market exchange rate at its sole
discretion.

     The "Exchange Rate Agent" shall be [              ], unless otherwise
indicated on the face hereof.

     All determinations referred to above made by, or on behalf of, the Issuer
or by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent shall be at such entity's sole
discretion and shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all
purposes and binding on holders of Notes and coupons.

     So long as this Note shall be outstanding, the Issuer will cause to be
maintained an office or agency for the payment of the principal of and premium,
if any, and interest on this Note as herein provided in the Borough of
Manhattan, The City of New York, and an office or agency in said Borough of
Manhattan for the registration, transfer and exchange as aforesaid of the
Notes. The Issuer may designate other agencies for the payment of said
principal, premium and interest at such place or places (subject to applicable
laws and regulations) as the Issuer may decide. So long as there shall be such
an agency, the Issuer shall keep the Trustee advised of the names and locations
of such agencies, if any are so designated.

     With respect to moneys paid by the Issuer and held by the Trustee or any
Paying Agent for payment of the principal of or interest or premium, if any, on
any Notes that remain unclaimed at the end of two years after such principal,
interest or premium shall have become due and payable (whether at maturity or
upon call for redemption or otherwise), (i) the Trustee or such Paying Agent
shall notify the holders of such Notes that such moneys shall be repaid to the
Issuer and any person claiming such moneys shall thereafter look only to the
Issuer for payment thereof and (ii) such


                                       18
<PAGE>


moneys shall be so repaid to the Issuer. Upon such repayment all liability of
the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such moneys shall thereupon
cease, without, however, limiting in any way any obligation that the Issuer may
have to pay the principal of or interest or premium, if any, on this Note as
the same shall become due.

     No provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the
obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the
principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this Note at the time, place,
and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed unless otherwise
agreed between the Issuer and the registered holder of this Note.

     Prior to due presentment of this Note for registration of transfer, the
Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee may treat the
holder in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for all
purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and none of the Issuer, the
Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

     No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of, premium, if
any, or the interest on this Note, for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in
respect hereof, or based on or in respect of the Indenture or any indenture
supplemental thereto, against any incorporator, shareholder, officer or
director, as such, past, present or future, of the Issuer or of any successor
corporation, either directly or through the Issuer or any successor
corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law or
by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such
liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for
the issue hereof, expressly waived and released.

     This Note shall for all purposes be governed by, and construed in
accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

     All terms used in this Note which are defined in the Indenture and not
otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the
Indenture.

to the first Interest Payment Date occurring after the Interest Accrual Date,
interest payments will commence on the second Interest Payment Date succeeding
the Interest Accrual Date.

     Interest on this Note will accrue from and including the most recent
Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, or,
if no interest has been paid or duly provided for, from and including the
Interest Accrual Date, until but excluding the date the principal hereof has
been paid or duly made available for payment (except as provided below). The
interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest
Payment Date will, subject to certain exceptions described herein, be paid to
the holder of this Note at the office or agency of the Principal Paying Agent
(this and certain other capitalized terms used herein are defined on the
reverse of this Note) or at the office or agency of such other paying agents
outside the United States as the Issuer may determine for that purpose (each, a
"Paying Agent," which term shall include the Principal Paying Agent).

     Payment of the principal of this Note, any premium and the interest due at
maturity (or on any redemption or repayment date) will be made upon
presentation and surrender of this Note at the office or agency of the
Principal Paying Agent or at the office of any Paying Agent.

     Payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on this Note

such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment
is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. Such payments on this
Note will be made either by a check mailed to an address outside the United
States furnished by the payee or, at the option of the payee and subject to
applicable laws and regulations and the procedures of the Paying Agent, by wire
transfer of immediately available funds to an account maintained by the payee
with a bank located outside the United States if appropriate wire transfer
instructions have been received by the Paying Agent not less than 15 calendar
days prior to the applicable payment date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in
the event that payment in U.S. dollars of the full amount payable on this Note
at the offices of all Paying Agents would be illegal or effectively precluded
as a result of exchange controls or similar restrictions, payment on this Note
will be made by a paying agency in the United States, if such paying agency,
under applicable law and regulations, would be able to make such payment. If
this Note is denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, then,
except as provided on the reverse hereof, payment of the principal of and
premium, if any, and interest on this Note will be made in such Specified
Currency either by a check drawn on a bank outside the United States or, at the
option of the payee and subject to applicable laws and regulations and the
procedures of the Paying Agent, by wire transfer of immediately available funds
to an account maintained by the payee with a bank located outside the United
States.

                         [FORM OF REVERSE OF SECURITY]

     This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Global Medium-Term Notes,
Series B, having maturities more than nine months from the date of issue (the
"Notes") of the Issuer. The Notes are issuable under an Indenture, dated as of
[         ], 2001, between the Issuer and Bankers Trust Company, as Trustee
(the "Trustee," which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture)
(as may be amended or supplemented from time to time, the "Indenture"), to
which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby
made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties
and immunities of the Issuer, the Trustee and holders of the Notes and the
terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. The
Issuer has appointed Bankers Trust Company, as its principal paying agent for
the Notes (the "Principal Paying Agent," which term includes any additional or
successor Principal Paying Agent appointed by the Issuer). The terms of
individual Notes may vary with respect to interest rates, interest rate
formulas, issue dates, maturity dates, or otherwise, all as provided in the
Indenture. To the extent not inconsistent herewith, the terms of the Indenture
are hereby incorporated by reference herein.

     If this Note is denominated in pounds sterling, the Issuer represents that
it is not an authorized institution (for purposes of the United Kingdom Banking
Act 1987) nor a European authorized institution as defined by Regulation 3 of
the Banking Co-ordination (Second Council Directive) Regulations 1992 and
repayment of the principal of, and payment of any interest or premium on, this
Note has not been guaranteed, that it has complied with its obligations under
the listing rules of the London Stock Exchange Limited (the "Rules") and that,
since the last publication in compliance with the Rules of information about
it, it, having made all reasonable inquiries, has not become aware of any
change in circumstances which could reasonably be regarded as significantly and
adversely affecting its ability to meet its obligations in respect of the Notes
as they fall due.

     Unless otherwise indicated on the face hereof, this Note will not be
subject to any sinking fund and, unless otherwise indicated on the face hereof
in accordance with the provisions of the following two paragraphs and except as
set forth below, will not be redeemable or subject to repayment at the option
of the holder prior to maturity.

     If so indicated on the face hereof, this Note may be redeemed in whole or
in part at the option of the Issuer on or after the Initial Redemption Date
specified on the face hereof on the terms set forth on the face hereof,
together with interest accrued and unpaid hereon to the date of redemption
(except as indicated below). If this Note is subject to "Annual Redemption
Percentage Reduction," the Initial Redemption Percentage indicated on the face
hereof will be reduced on each anniversary of the Initial Redemption Date by
the Annual Redemption Percentage Reduction specified on the face hereof until
the redemption price of this Note is 100% of the principal amount hereof,
together with interest accrued and unpaid hereon to the date of redemption
(except as provided below). Notice of redemption shall be mailed to the holders
of the Notes designated for redemption who have filed their names and addresses
with the Principal Paying Agent, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior
to the date fixed for redemption or within the Redemption Notice


                                       6
<PAGE>


Period specified on the face hereof, subject to all the conditions and
provisions of the Indenture. Notice of redemption to all others holders of
Notes shall be given in the manner set forth in "Notices" as defined below,
and, if by publication, shall be given once in each of the three successive
calendar weeks, the first publication to be not less than 30 nor more than 60
days prior to the date set for redemption or within the Redemption Notice
Period specified on the face hereof. In the event of redemption of this Note in
part only, the Principal Paying Agent shall cause Schedule A of this Note to be
endorsed to reflect the reduction of its principal amount by an amount equal to
the aggregate principal amount of this Note so redeemed, whereupon the
principal amount hereof shall be reduced for all purposes by the amount so
redeemed and noted.

     If so indicated on the face of this Note, this Note will be subject to
repayment at the option of the holder on the Optional Repayment Date or Dates
specified on the face hereof on the terms set forth herein. On any Optional
Repayment Date, this Note will be repayable in whole or in part in increments
of $1,000 or, if this Note is denominated in a Specified Currency other than
U.S. dollars, in increments of 1,000 units of such Specified Currency (provided
that any remaining principal amount hereof shall not be less than the minimum
authorized denomination hereof) at the option of the holder hereof at a price
equal to 100% of the principal amount to be repaid, together with interest
accrued and unpaid hereon to the date of repayment (except as provided below).
For this Note to be repaid at the option of the holder hereof, the Principal
Paying Agent must receive at its office in London, at least 15 but not more
than 30 days prior to the date of repayment, this Note with the form entitled
"Option to Elect Repayment" below duly completed, or a telegram, telex,
facsimile transmission or a letter from a member of a national securities
exchange, or the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or a
commercial bank or trust company in the United States, Western Europe or Japan
setting forth the principal amount of the Note, the principal amount of the
Note to be repaid, the certificate number or a description of the tenor and
terms of this Note, a statement that the Option to Elect Repayment is being
exercised and a guarantee that this Note to be repaid, together with the duly
completed form entitled Option to Elect Repayment, will be received by the
principal paying agent not later than the fifth Business Day (as defined below)
after the date of that telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter.
However, the telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter shall only be
effective if this Note and an Option to Elect Repayment form duly completed are
received by the Paying Agent by the fifth Business Day after the date of such
telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter. Exercise of such repayment
option by the holder hereof shall be irrevocable. In the event of repayment of
this Note in part only, the Principal Paying Agent shall cause Schedule A of
this Note to be endorsed to reflect the reduction of its principal amount by an
amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of this Note so repaid,
whereupon the principal amount hereof shall be reduced for all purposes by the
amount so repaid and noted.

     Interest payments on this Note will include interest accrued to but
excluding the Interest Payment Dates or the Maturity Date (or any earlier
redemption or repayment date), as the case may be. Unless otherwise specified
on the face hereof, interest payments for this Note will be computed and paid
on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.


                                       7

     In the case where the Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date (or any
redemption or repayment date) does not fall on a Business Day, payment of
interest, premium, if any, or principal otherwise payable on such date need not
be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with
the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date or on the
Maturity Date (or any redemption or repayment date), and no interest on such
payment shall accrue for the period from and after the Interest Payment Date or
the Maturity Date (or any redemption or repayment date) to such next succeeding
Business Day.

     This Note and all the obligations of the Issuer hereunder are direct,
unsecured obligations of the Issuer and rank without preference or priority
among themselves and pari passu with all other existing and future unsecured
and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Issuer, subject to certain statutory
exceptions in the event of liquidation upon insolvency.

     This Note is issued in permanent global bearer form without interest
coupons attached (a "Global Bearer Note"). The beneficial owner of all or a
portion of this Note may exchange its interest in this Note upon not less than
30 days' written notice to the Principal Paying Agent through the relevant
clearing system, in whole, for Notes in bearer form with interest coupons, if
any, attached (the "Definitive Bearer Notes," and, together with the Global
Bearer Notes, the "Bearer Notes") or, if so indicated on the face of this Note,
at the beneficial owner's option, in whole or from time to time in part, for
Notes in fully registered form without coupons (the "Registered Notes"), in
each case, in the minimum denominations set forth on the face hereof or any
amount in excess thereof which is an integral multiple of 1,000 units of the
Specified Currency set forth on the face hereof. Interests in this Note shall
also be exchanged by the Issuer in whole, but not in part, for Definitive
Bearer Notes, which shall be serially numbered, with coupons, if any, attached
(or, if indicated on the face of this Note, at the beneficial owner's option,
for Registered Notes), of any authorized denominations if (i) this Note is
accelerated following an Event of Default or (ii) either Euroclear or
Clearstream or any other relevant clearing system is closed for business for a
continuous period of fourteen days (other than by reason of public holidays) or
announces an intention to cease business permanently or in fact does so. The
Issuer shall give notice to the Principal Paying Agent promptly following any
such acceleration or upon learning of any such closure. Any exchanges referred
to above shall be made at the office of the Principal Paying Agent, or, in the
case of Registered Notes, at the office of the transfer agent for the
Registered Notes in London, which transfer agent will initially be Bankers
Trust Company, upon compliance with any procedures set forth in, or established
pursuant to, the Indenture; provided, however, that the Issuer shall not be
required (i) to exchange this Note for a period of fifteen calendar days
preceding the first publication or other transmission, if applicable, of a
notice of redemption of all or any portion hereof or (ii) to exchange any
portion of this Note selected for redemption or surrendered for optional
repayment, except that such portion of this Note may be exchanged for a
Registered Note of like tenor; provided that such Registered Note shall be
simultaneously surrendered for redemption or repayment, as the case may be; and
provided, further, that if a Registered Note is issued in exchange for any
portion of this Note after the close of business at the office of the Principal
Paying Agent on any record date (whether or not a Business Day) for the payment
of interest on such Registered Note and before the opening of business at such
office on the relevant Interest Payment Date, any interest will not be


                                       8
<PAGE>


payable on such Interest Payment Date in respect of such Registered Note, but
will be payable on such Interest Payment Date only to the holder of this Note.
Upon exchange of this Note in whole for a Definitive Bearer Note or Definitive
Bearer Notes, or in whole or in part for a Registered Note or Registered Notes,
the Principal Paying Agent shall cause Schedule A of this Note to be endorsed
to reflect the reduction of the principal amount hereof by an amount equal to
the aggregate principal amount of such Definitive Bearer Note or Definitive
Bearer Notes, or such Registered Note or Registered Notes, whereupon the
principal amount hereof shall be reduced for all purposes by the amount so
exchanged and noted. All such exchanges of Notes will be free of service
charge, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax
or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. The date of any
Note delivered upon any exchange of this Note shall be such that no gain or
loss of interest results from such exchange.

     All (and not less than all) interests in this Note will be exchanged for
Definitive Bearer Notes in accordance with the procedures set forth in the
following two sentences as soon as practicable after (i) the first beneficial
owner of an interest in this Note exchanges its interest for a Definitive
Bearer Note, (ii) the Issuer gives notice to the Principal Paying Agent of an
acceleration of the Note or (iii) either Euroclear or Clearstream or any other
relevant clearing system is closed for business for a continuous period of
fourteen days (other than by reason of public holidays) or announces an
intention to cease business permanently or in fact does so. In the event of any
exchange of interests in this Note for a Definitive Bearer Note, a common
depositary located outside the United States (the "common depositary") holding
this Note for Euroclear Bank, as operator of the Euroclear System (the
"Euroclear Operator"), Clearstream Banking, societe anonyme ("Clearstream,
Luxembourg"), and/or any other relevant clearing system (including Societe
Interprofessionelle pour la Compensation des Valeurs Mobilieres ("SICOVAM"))
shall instruct the Principal Paying Agent regarding the aggregate principal
amount of Definitive Bearer Notes and the denominations of such Definitive
Bearer Notes that must be authenticated and delivered to each relevant clearing
system in exchange for this Note. Thereafter, the Principal Paying Agent,
acting solely in reliance on such instructions, shall, upon surrender to it of
this Note and subject to the conditions in the preceding paragraph,
authenticate and deliver Definitive Bearer Notes in exchange for this Note in
accordance with such instructions and shall cause Schedule A of this Note to be
endorsed to reflect the reduction of its principal amount by an amount equal to
the aggregate principal amount of this Note. Nothing in this paragraph shall
prevent the further exchange of Definitive Bearer Notes into Registered Notes.

     This Note may be transferred by delivery; provided, however, that this
Note may be transferred only to a common depositary outside the United States
for the Euroclear Operator, Clearstream, Luxembourg and/or any other relevant
clearing system or to a nominee of such a depositary.

     In case this Note shall at any time become mutilated, defaced or be
destroyed, lost or stolen and this Note or evidence of the loss, theft or
destruction thereof (together with the indemnity hereinafter referred to and
such other documents or proof as may be required in the premises) shall be
delivered to the Trustee, the Issuer in its discretion may execute a new Note
of like tenor in


                                       9
<PAGE>


exchange for this Note, but, in the case of any destroyed or lost or stolen
Note, only upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee and the Issuer
that this Note was destroyed or lost or stolen and, if required, upon receipt
also of indemnity satisfactory to each of them. All expenses and reasonable
charges associated with procuring such indemnity and with the preparation,
authentication and delivery of a new Note shall be borne by the owner of the
Note mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen.

     If the face hereof indicates that this Note is subject to "Modified
Payment upon Acceleration or Redemption," then (i) if the principal hereof is
declared to be due and payable as described in the preceding paragraph, the
amount of principal due and payable with respect to this Note shall be limited
to the aggregate principal amount hereof multiplied by the sum of the Issue
Price specified on the face hereof (expressed as a percentage of the aggregate
principal amount) plus the original issue discount amortized from the Interest
Accrual Date to the date of declaration, which amortization shall be calculated
using the "interest method" (computed in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles in effect on the date of declaration), (ii) for the
purpose of any vote of securityholders taken pursuant to the Indenture prior to
the acceleration of payment of this Note, the principal amount hereof shall
equal the amount that would be due and payable hereon, calculated as set forth
in clause (i) above, if this Note were declared to be due and payable on the
date of any such vote and (iii) for the purpose of any vote of securityholders
taken pursuant to the Indenture following the acceleration of payment of this
Note, the principal amount hereof shall equal the amount of principal due and
payable with respect to this Note, calculated as set forth in clause (i) above.

     This Note may be redeemed, as a whole, at the option of the Issuer at any
time prior to maturity, upon the giving of a notice of redemption as described
below, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount hereof,
together with accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption (except that if
this Note is subject to "Modified Payment upon Acceleration or Redemption,"
such redemption price would be limited to the aggregate principal amount hereof
multiplied by the sum of the Issue Price specified on the face hereof
(expressed as a percentage of the aggregate principal amount) plus the original
issue discount amortized from the Interest Accrual Date to the date of
redemption, which amortization shall be calculated using the "interest method"
(computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in effect
on the date of redemption) (the "Amortized Amount")), if the Issuer determines
that, as a result of any change in or amendment to the laws (or any regulations
or rulings promulgated thereunder) of the United States or of any political
subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein affecting taxation, or any
change in official position regarding the application or interpretation of such
laws, regulations or rulings, which change or amendment becomes effective on or
after the Original Issue Date hereof, the Issuer has or will become obligated
to pay Additional Amounts (as defined below) with respect to this Note as
described below. Prior to the giving of any Notice of redemption pursuant to
this paragraph, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee (i) a certificate
stating that the Issuer is entitled to effect such redemption and setting forth
a statement of facts showing that the conditions precedent to the right of the
Issuer to so redeem have occurred, and (ii) an opinion of independent counsel
satisfactory to the Trustee to such effect based on such statement of facts;
provided that no such notice of


                                       10
<PAGE>


redemption shall be given earlier than 60 days prior to the earliest date on
which the Issuer would be obligated to pay such Additional Amounts if a payment
in respect of this Note were then due.

     Notice of redemption will be given not less than 30 nor more than 60 days
prior to the date fixed for redemption or within the Redemption Notice Period
specified on face hereof, which date and the applicable redemption price will
be specified in the Notice.

     If the Issuer shall determine that any payment made outside the United
States by the Issuer or any Paying Agent of principal, premium or interest due
in respect of this Note would, under any present or future laws or regulations
of the United States, be subject to any certification, identification or other
information reporting requirement of any kind, the effect of which is the
disclosure to the Issuer, any Paying Agent or any governmental authority of the
nationality, residence or identity of a beneficial owner of this Note who is a
United States Alien (as defined below) (other than such a requirement (a) that
would not be applicable to a payment made by the Issuer or any Paying Agent (i)
directly to the beneficial owner or (ii) to a custodian, nominee or other agent
of the beneficial owner, or (b) that can be satisfied by such custodian,
nominee or other agent certifying to the effect that such beneficial owner is a
United States Alien; provided that in each case referred to in clauses (a)(ii)
and (b) payment by such custodian, nominee or agent to such beneficial owner is
not otherwise subject to any such requirement), the Issuer shall redeem this
Note, as a whole, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount
thereof (except that if this Note is subject to "Modified Payment upon
Acceleration or Redemption," such redemption price would be limited to the
aggregate principal amount hereof multiplied by the sum of the Issue Price
specified on the face hereof (expressed as a percentage of the aggregate
principal amount) plus the Amortized Amount), together with accrued interest to
the date fixed for redemption, or, at the election of the Issuer if the
conditions of the next succeeding paragraph are satisfied, pay the additional
amounts specified in such paragraph. The Issuer shall make such determination
and election as soon as practicable, shall promptly notify the Trustee thereof
and shall publish (or transmit, as applicable) prompt notice thereof (the
"Determination Notice") stating the effective date of such certification,
identification or other information reporting requirements, whether the Issuer
will redeem this Note or has elected to pay the additional amounts specified in
the next succeeding paragraph, and (if applicable) the last date by which the
redemption of this Note must take place, as provided in the next succeeding
sentence. If the Issuer redeems this Note, such redemption shall take place on
such date, not later than one year after the publication of the Determination
Notice, as the Issuer shall elect by notice to the Trustee at least 60 days
prior to the date fixed for redemption or at least 30 days prior to the last
day of the Redemption Notice Period specified on the face hereof. Notice of
such redemption of this Note will be given to the holder of this Note not more
than 60 nor less than 30 days prior to the date fixed for redemption or within
the Redemption Notice Period specified on the face hereof. Such redemption
notice shall include a statement as to the last date by which this Note to be
redeemed may be exchanged for Registered Notes. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Issuer shall not so redeem this Note if the Issuer shall subsequently
determine, not less than 30 days prior to the date fixed for redemption or
prior to the last day of the Redemption Notice Period specified on the face
hereof, that subsequent payments would not be subject to any such
certification, identification or other information reporting requirement, in
which case the Issuer shall publish (or


                                       11
<PAGE>


transmit, as applicable) prompt notice of such determination and any earlier
redemption notice shall be revoked and of no further effect. The right of the
holder of this Note to exchange this Note for Registered Notes pursuant to the
provisions of this paragraph will terminate at the close of business of the
Principal Paying Agent on the fifteenth day prior to the date fixed for
redemption, and no further exchanges of this Note for Registered Notes shall be
permitted.

     If and so long as the certification, identification or other information
reporting requirements referred to in the preceding paragraph would be fully
satisfied by payment of a backup withholding tax or similar charge, the Issuer
may elect by notice to the Trustee to pay as additional amounts such amounts as
may be necessary so that every net payment made outside the United States
following the effective date of such requirements by the Issuer or any Paying
Agent of principal, premium or interest due in respect of this Note of which
the beneficial owner is a United States Alien (but without any requirement that
the nationality, residence or identity of such beneficial owner be disclosed to
the Issuer, any Paying Agent or any governmental authority, with respect to the
payment of such additional amounts), after deduction or withholding for or on
account of such backup withholding tax or similar charge (other than a backup
withholding tax or similar charge that (i) would not be applicable in the
circumstances referred to in the second parenthetical clause of the first
sentence of the preceding paragraph, or (ii) is imposed as a result of
presentation of this Note for payment more than 15 days after the date on which
such payment becomes due and payable or on which payment thereof is duly
provided for, whichever occurs later), will not be less than the amount
provided for in this Note to be then due and payable. In the event the Issuer
elects to pay any additional amounts pursuant to this paragraph, the Issuer
shall have the right to redeem this Note as a whole at any time pursuant to the
applicable provisions of the immediately preceding paragraph and the redemption
price of this Note will not be reduced for applicable withholding taxes. If the
Issuer elects to pay additional amounts pursuant to this paragraph and the
condition specified in the first sentence of this paragraph should no longer be
satisfied, then the Issuer will redeem this Note as a whole, pursuant to the
applicable provisions of the immediately preceding paragraph.

     The Issuer will, subject to certain exceptions and limitations set forth
below, pay such additional amounts (the "Additional Amounts") to the holder of
this Note who is a United States Alien as may be necessary in order that every
net payment of the principal of and interest on this Note and any other amounts
payable on this Note, after withholding for or on account of any present or
future tax, assessment or governmental charge imposed upon or as a result of
such payment by the United States (or any political subdivision or taxing
authority thereof or therein), will not be less than the amount provided for in
this Note to be then due and payable. The Issuer will not, however, be required
to make any payment of Additional Amounts to any such holder for or on account
of:

          (a) any such tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would
     not have been so imposed but for (i) the existence of any present or
     former connection between such holder (or between a fiduciary, settlor,
     beneficiary, member or shareholder of such holder, if such holder is an
     estate, a trust, a partnership or a corporation) and the United States and
     its possessions, including, without limitation, such holder (or such
     fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder) being or having
     been a citizen or resident thereof or


                                       12

     being or having been engaged in a trade or business or present therein or
     having, or having had, a permanent establishment therein or (ii) the
     presentation by the holder of this Note for payment on a date more than 15
     days after the date on which such payment became due and payable or the
     date on which payment thereof is duly provided for, whichever occurs
     later;

          (b) any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer or personal
     property tax or any similar tax, assessment or governmental charge;

          (c) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by
     reason of such holder's past or present status as a personal holding
     company or foreign personal holding company or controlled foreign
     corporation or passive foreign investment company with respect to the
     United States or as a corporation which accumulates earnings to avoid
     United States federal income tax or as a private foundation or other
     tax-exempt organization;

          (d) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is payable
     otherwise than by withholding from payments on or in respect of this Note;

          (e) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge required to be
     withheld by any Paying Agent from any payment of principal of, or interest
     on, this Note, if such payment can be made without such withholding by any
     other Paying Agent in a city in Western Europe;

          (f) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not
     have been imposed but for the failure to comply with certification,
     information or other reporting requirements concerning the nationality,
     residence or identity of the holder or beneficial owner of this Note, if
     such compliance is required by statute or by regulation of the United
     States or of any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or
     therein as a precondition to relief or exemption from such tax, assessment
     or other governmental charge;

          (g) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by
     reason of such holder's past or present status as the actual or
     constructive owner of 10% or more of the total combined voting power of
     all classes of stock entitled to vote of the Issuer or as a direct or
     indirect subsidiary of the Issuer; or

          (h) any combination of items (a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f) or (g);

nor shall Additional Amounts be paid with respect to any payment on this Note
to a United States Alien who is a fiduciary or partnership or other than the
sole beneficial owner of such payment to the extent such payment would be
required by the laws of the United States (or any political subdivision
thereof) to be included in the income, for tax purposes, of a beneficiary or
settlor with respect to such fiduciary or a member of such partnership or a
beneficial owner who would not have been entitled to the Additional Amounts had
such beneficiary, settlor, member or beneficial owner been the holder of this
Note.

     The Indenture provides that (a) if an Event of Default (as defined in the
Indenture) due to the default in payment of principal of, premium, if any, or
interest on, any series of debt securities issued under the Indenture,
including the series of Global Medium-Term Notes of which this Note forms a
part, or due to the default in the performance or breach of any other covenant
or warranty of the Issuer applicable to the debt securities of such series but
not applicable to all outstanding debt securities issued under the Indenture,
shall have occurred and be continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of not
less than 25% in principal amount of the debt securities of each affected
series (voting as a single class) may then declare the principal of all debt
securities of all such series and interest accrued thereon to be due and
payable immediately and (b) if an Event of Default due to a default in the
performance of any other of the covenants or agreements in the Indenture
applicable to all outstanding debt securities issued thereunder, including this
Note, or due to certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency of the Issuer, shall
have occurred and be continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of not less
than 25% in principal amount of all debt securities issued under the Indenture
then outstanding (treated as one class) may declare the principal of all such
debt securities and interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately,
but upon certain conditions such declarations may be annulled and past defaults
may be waived (except a continuing default in payment of principal (or premium,
if any) or interest on such debt securities) by the holders of a majority in
principal amount of the debt securities of all affected series then
outstanding.

     The Indenture permits the Issuer and the Trustee, with the consent of the
holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the debt
securities of all series issued under the Indenture then outstanding and
affected (voting as one class), to execute supplemental indentures adding any
provisions to or changing in any manner the rights of the holders of each
series so affected; provided that the Issuer and the Trustee may not, without
the consent of the holder of each outstanding debt security affected thereby,
(a) extend the final maturity of any such debt security, or reduce the
principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of
interest thereon, or reduce any amount payable on redemption or repayment
thereof, or change the currency of payment thereof, or modify or amend the
provisions for conversion of any currency into any other currency, or modify or
amend the provisions for conversion or exchange of the debt security for
securities of the Issuer or other entities (other than as provided in the
antidilution provisions or other similar adjustment provisions of the debt
securities or otherwise in accordance with the terms thereof), or impair or
affect the rights of any holder to institute suit for the payment thereof
without the consent of the holder of each debt security so affected; or (b)
reduce the aforesaid percentage in principal amount of debt securities the
consent of the holders of which is required for any such supplemental
indenture.

     Except as set forth below, if the principal of, premium, if any, or
interest on, this Note is payable in a Specified Currency other than U.S.
dollars and such Specified Currency is not available to the Issuer for making
payments hereon due to the imposition of exchange controls or other
circumstances beyond the control of the Issuer or is no longer used by the
government of the country issuing such currency or for the settlement of
transactions by public institutions within the international banking community,
then the Issuer will be entitled to satisfy its obligations to the holder of
this Note by making such payments in U.S. dollars on the basis of the Market
Exchange


                                       14
<PAGE>


Rate (as defined below) on the date of such payment or, if the Market Exchange
Rate is not available on such date, as of the most recent practicable date
provided, however, that if the euro has been substituted for such Specified
Currency, the Issuer may at its option (or shall, if so required by applicable
law) without the consent of the holder of this Note effect the payment of
principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any Note denominated in such
Specified Currency in euro in lieu of such Specified Currency in conformity
with legally applicable measures taken pursuant to, or by virtue of, the treaty
establishing the European Community (the "EC"), as amended by the treaty on
European Union (as so amended, the "Treaty"). Any payment made under such
circumstances in U.S. dollars or euro where the required payment is in an
unavailable Specified Currency will not constitute an Event of Default. If such
Market Exchange Rate is not then available to the Issuer or is not published
for a particular Specified Currency, the Market Exchange Rate will be based on
the highest bid quotation in The City of New York received by the Exchange Rate
Agent (as defined below) at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on
the second Business Day preceding the date of such payment from three
recognized foreign exchange dealers (the "Exchange Dealers") for the purchase
by the quoting Exchange Dealer of the Specified Currency for U.S. dollars for
settlement on the payment date, in the aggregate amount of the Specified
Currency payable to those holders or beneficial owners of Notes and at which
the applicable Exchange Dealer commits to execute a contract. One of the
Exchange Dealers providing quotations may be the Exchange Rate Agent unless the
Exchange Rate Agent is an affiliate of the Issuer. If those bid quotations are
not available, the Exchange Rate Agent shall determine the market exchange rate
at its sole discretion.

     The "Exchange Rate Agent" shall be [              ], unless otherwise
indicated on the face hereof.

     All determinations referred to above made by, or on behalf of, the Issuer
or by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent shall be at such entity's sole
discretion and shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all
purposes and binding on holders of Notes and coupons.

     So long as this Note shall be outstanding, the Issuer will cause to be
maintained an office or agency for the payment of the principal of and premium,
if any, and interest on this Note as herein provided. If this Note is listed on
the London Stock Exchange Limited and such Exchange so requires, the Issuer
shall maintain a Paying Agent in London. The Issuer may designate other
agencies for the payment of said principal, premium and interest at such place
or places outside the United States (subject to applicable laws and
regulations) as the Issuer may decide. So long as there shall be such an
agency, the Issuer shall keep the Trustee advised of the names and locations of
such agencies, if any are so designated.

     With respect to moneys paid by the Issuer and held by the Trustee or any
Paying Agent for payment of the principal of or interest or premium, if any, on
any Notes that remain unclaimed at the end of two years after such principal,
interest or premium shall have become due and payable (whether at maturity or
upon call for redemption or otherwise), (i) the Trustee or such Paying Agent
shall notify the holders of such Notes that such moneys shall be repaid to the
Issuer and any person claiming such moneys shall thereafter look only to the
Issuer for payment thereof and (ii) such


                                       15
<PAGE>


moneys shall be so repaid to the Issuer. Upon such repayment all liability of
the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such moneys shall thereupon
cease, without, however, limiting in any way any obligation that the Issuer may
have to pay the principal of or interest or premium, if any, on this Note as
the same shall become due.

     No provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the
obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the
principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this Note at the time, place,
and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed unless otherwise
agreed between the Issuer and the holder of this Note.

     The Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee may
treat the holder of this Note as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or
not this Note be overdue, and none of the Issuer, the Trustee or any such agent
shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

     No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of, premium, if
any, or the interest on this Note for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in
respect hereof, or based on or in respect of the Indenture or any indenture
supplemental thereto, against any incorporator, shareholder, officer or
director, as such, past, present or future, of the Issuer or of any successor
corporation, either directly or through the Issuer or any successor
corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law or
by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such
liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for
the issue hereof, expressly waived and released.

     This Note shall for all purposes be governed by, and construed in
accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

     provided that notice may be made, at the option of the Issuer, through the
     customary notice provisions of the clearing system or systems through
     which beneficial interests in this Note are owned. Such Notices will be
     deemed to have been given on the date of such publication (or other

     J.P. Morgan Chase & Co., a Delaware corporation (together with its
successors and assigns, the "Issuer"), for value received, hereby promises to
pay to bearer, upon surrender hereof, the principal amount specified in
Schedule A hereto, on the Maturity Date specified above (except to the extent
previously redeemed or repaid) and to pay interest thereon at the Interest Rate
per annum specified above from and including the Interest Accrual Date
specified above until but excluding the date the principal amount is paid or
duly made available for payment (except as provided below), weekly, monthly,
quarterly, semi-annually or annually in arrears on the Interest Payment Dates
specified above in each year commencing on the Interest Payment Date next
succeeding the Interest Accrual Date specified above, and at maturity (or on
any redemption or repayment date); provided, however, that if the Interest
Accrual Date occurs fifteen days or less prior to the first Interest Payment
Date occurring after the Interest Accrual Date, interest payments will commence
on the second Interest Payment Date succeeding the Interest Accrual Date.

- --------
     3 Applicable if other than 30-60 days. Consult with Euroclear or
Clearstream if a shorter redemption is requested. A minimum of 10 days may be
possible.


                                       2

     Interest on this Note will accrue from and including the most recent
Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, or,
if no interest has been paid or duly provided for, from and including the
Interest Accrual Date, until but excluding the date the principal amount hereof
has been paid or duly made available for payment. Upon any payment of interest
on this Note, the Principal Paying Agent (as defined below) shall cause
Schedule A of this Note to be endorsed to reflect such payment. No payment on
this Note will be made at any office or agency of the Issuer in the United
States or by check mailed to an address in the United States (as defined below)
or by wire transfer to an account maintained by the holder of this Note with a
bank in the United States except as may be permitted under United States
federal tax laws and regulations then in effect without adverse tax
consequences to the Issuer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that
payment in U.S. dollars of the full amount payable on this Note at the offices
of all Paying Agents (as defined below) would be illegal or effectively
precluded as a result of exchange controls or similar restrictions, payment on
this Note will be made by a paying agency in the United States, if such paying
agency, under applicable law and regulations, would be able to make such
payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Note, no payment of
principal or interest shall be made on any portion of this Note unless there
shall have been delivered to the Principal Paying Agent a certificate
substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto with respect to the portion of
this Note with respect to which such principal or interest is to be paid. Such
certificate shall have been delivered to the Principal Paying Agent by
Euroclear Bank, as operator of the Euroclear System (the "Euroclear Operator"),
Clearstream Banking, societe anonyme ("Clearstream, Luxembourg"), and/or any
other relevant clearing system (including Societe Interprofessionelle pour la
Compensation des Valeurs Mobilieres and the Intermediaires financiers habilites
authorized to maintain accounts therein ("SICOVAM")) as the case may be, and
shall be based on a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto
provided to the Euroclear Operator, Cedelbank and/or any other relevant
clearing system, as the case may be, by those of its account holders who are to
receive such payment of principal or interest.

     This Note is issued in temporary global bearer form and represents all or
a portion of a duly authorized issue of Global Medium-Term Notes, Series B (the
"Notes"), issued under an Indenture, dated as of [          ], 2001, between the
Issuer and Bankers Trust Company, as Trustee (the "Trustee," which term
includes any successor trustee under the Indenture) (as may be amended or
supplemented from time to time, the "Indenture"), to which Indenture and all
indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the
respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities of the Issuer,
the Trustee and holders of the Notes and the terms upon which the Notes are,
and are to be, authenticated and delivered. The Issuer has appointed Bankers
Trust Company, as its principal paying agent for the Notes (the "Principal
Paying Agent," which term includes any additional or successor Principal Paying
Agent appointed by the Issuer).

     Except as otherwise provided herein, this Note is governed by the terms
and conditions of the Permanent Global Fixed Rate Bearer Note (the "Permanent
Global Bearer Note") to be issued in exchange for this Note, which terms and
conditions are hereby incorporated by reference herein mutatis mutandis and
shall be binding on the Issuer and the holder hereof as if fully set forth
herein. The form of the Permanent Global Bearer Note is attached hereto.

     This Note is exchangeable in whole or from time to time in part on or
after the Exchange Date (as defined below) for an interest (equal to the
principal amount of the portion of this Note being exchanged) in a single
Permanent Global Bearer Note upon the request of the Euroclear Operator,
Clearstream, Luxembourg and/or any other relevant clearing system, acting on
behalf of the owner of a beneficial interest in this Note, to the Principal
Paying Agent upon delivery to the Principal Paying Agent of a certificate
substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto with respect to the portion of
this Note to be exchanged. Such certificate shall have been delivered to the
Principal Paying Agent by the Euroclear Operator, Clearstream, Luxembourg
and/or any other relevant clearing system, as the case may be, and shall be
based on a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto provided
to the Euroclear Operator, Clearstream and/or any other relevant clearing
system, as the case may be, by those of its account holders having an interest
in the portion hereof to be exchanged. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if this
Note is subject to a tax redemption as described on the reverse of the
Permanent Global Bearer Note attached hereto, interests in this Note may be
exchanged for interests in a permanent Global Bearer Note on and after such
redemption date as if such redemption date had been the Exchange Date, subject
to receipt of the certificates described in the preceding sentence. Upon
exchange of any portion of this Note for an interest in a Permanent Global
Bearer Note, the Principal Paying Agent shall cause Schedule A of this Note to
be endorsed to reflect the reduction of its principal amount by an amount equal
to the aggregate principal amount being so exchanged. Except as otherwise
provided herein, until exchanged for a Permanent Global Bearer Note, this Note
shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under the Indenture as a
duly authenticated and delivered Permanent Global Bearer Note.

     As used herein:

          (a) the term "Exchange Date" means the date that is 40 days after the
     date on which the Issuer receives the proceeds of the sale of this Note
     (the "Closing Date"), provided that if an interest represented by this
     Note is held by a manager participating in the distribution of the tranche
     of Notes of which this Note forms a part, as part of an unsold allotment
     or subscription more than 40 days after the Closing Date for this Note,
     the Exchange Date with respect to such interest shall be the day after the
     date such interest is sold by such manager, all as determined and notified
     to the Trustee by the Issuer.

          (b) the term "United States" means the United States of America
     (including the States and the District of Columbia); and its "possessions"
     include Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, Wake
     Island and the Northern Mariana Islands.

     All other terms used in this Note which are defined in the Indenture and
not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the
Indenture.

     Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the
Trustee by manual signature, this Note shall not be entitled to any benefit
under the Indenture, as defined on the reverse hereof, or be valid or
obligatory for any purpose.

at a rate per annum determined in accordance with the provisions specified on
the reverse hereof until but excluding the date such principal amount is paid
or duly made available for payment. The Issuer will pay interest in arrears
monthly, quarterly, semiannually or annually as specified above as the Interest
Payment Period on each Interest Payment Date (as specified above), commencing
with the first Interest Payment Date next succeeding the Interest Accrual Date
specified above, and on the Maturity Date specified above (or any redemption or

Interest Payment Date succeeding the Interest Accrual Date; and provided,
further, that if an Interest Payment Date (other than the Maturity Date or
redemption or repayment date) would fall on a day that is not a Business Day,
as defined on the reverse hereof, such Interest Payment Date shall be the
following day that is a Business Day, except that if the Base Rate specified
above is LIBOR and such next Business Day falls in the next calendar month,
such Interest Payment Date shall be the immediately preceding day that is a
Business Day; and provided, further, that if the Maturity Date or redemption or
repayment date would fall on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment of
principal, premium, if any, and interest shall be made on the next succeeding
Business Day and no interest shall accrue for the period from and after such
Maturity Date or redemption or repayment date.

     Interest on this Note will accrue from and including the most recent
Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, or,
if no interest has been paid or duly provided for, from and including the
Interest Accrual Date, until but excluding the date the principal hereof has
been paid or duly made available for payment (except as provided below). The
interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest
Payment Date will, subject to certain exceptions described herein, be paid to
the holder of this Note at the office or agency of the Principal Paying Agent
(this and certain other capitalized terms used herein are defined on the
reverse of this Note) or at the office or agency of such other paying agents
outside the United States as the Issuer may determine for that purpose (each, a
"Paying Agent," which term shall include the Principal Paying Agent).

     Payment of the principal of this Note, any premium and the interest due at
maturity (or on any redemption or repayment date) will be made upon
presentation and surrender of this Note at the office or agency of the
Principal Paying Agent or at the office of any Paying Agent.

     Payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on this Note
will be made in the Specified Currency indicated above, except as provided on
the reverse hereof. If this Note is denominated in U.S. dollars, any payment of
the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this Note will be made in
such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment
is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. Such payments on this
Note will be made either by a check mailed to an address outside the United
States furnished by the payee or, at the option of the payee and subject to
applicable laws and regulations and the procedures of the Paying Agent, by wire
transfer of immediately available funds to an account maintained by the payee
with a bank located outside the United States if appropriate wire transfer
instructions have been received by the Paying Agent not less than 15 calendar
days prior to the applicable payment date.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that payment in U.S. dollars of the
full amount payable on this Note at the offices of all Paying Agents would be
illegal or effectively precluded as a result of exchange controls or similar
restrictions, payment on this Note will be made by a paying agency in the
United States, if such paying agency, under applicable law and regulations,
would be able to make such payment. If this Note is denominated in a Specified
Currency other than U.S. dollars, then, except as provided on the reverse
hereof, payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on this
Note will be made in such Specified Currency either by a check drawn on a bank
outside the United States or, at the option of the payee and subject to

                             [REVERSE OF SECURITY]

     This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Global Medium-Term Notes,
Series B, having maturities more than nine months from the date of issue (the
"Notes") of the Issuer. The Notes are issuable under an Indenture, dated as of
[         ], 2001, between the Issuer and Bankers Trust Company, as Trustee (the
"Trustee," which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture) (as
may be amended or supplemented from time to time, the "Indenture"), to which
Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for
a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and
immunities of the Issuer, the Trustee and holders of the Notes and the terms
upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. The
Issuer has appointed Bankers Trust Company, as its principal paying agent for
the Notes (the "Principal Paying Agent," which term includes any additional or
successor Principal Paying Agent appointed by the Issuer). The terms of
individual Notes may vary with respect to interest rates, interest rate
formulas, issue dates, maturity dates, or otherwise, all as provided in the
Indenture. To the extent not inconsistent herewith, the terms of the Indenture
are hereby incorporated by reference herein.

     If this Note is denominated in pounds sterling, the Issuer represents that
it is not an authorized institution (for purposes of the United Kingdom Banking
Act 1987) nor a European authorized institution as defined by Regulation 3 of
the Banking Co-ordination (Second Council Directive) Regulations 1992 and
repayment of the principal of, and payment of any interest or premium on, this
Note has not been guaranteed, that it has complied with its obligations under
the listing rules of the London Stock Exchange Limited (the "Rules") and that,
since the last publication in compliance with the Rules of information about
it, it, having made all reasonable inquiries, has not become aware of any
change in circumstances which could reasonably be regarded as significantly and
adversely affecting its ability to meet its obligations in respect of the Notes
as they fall due.

     Unless otherwise indicated on the face hereof, this Note will not be
subject to any sinking fund and, unless otherwise indicated on the face hereof
in accordance with the provisions of the following two paragraphs and except as
set forth below, will not be redeemable or subject to repayment at the option
of the holder prior to maturity.

     If so indicated on the face hereof, this Note may be redeemed in whole or
in part at the option of the Issuer on or after the Initial Redemption Date
specified on the face hereof on the terms set forth on the face hereof,
together with interest accrued and unpaid hereon to the date of redemption
(except as indicated below). If this Note is subject to "Annual Redemption
Percentage Reduction," the Initial Redemption Percentage indicated on the face
hereof will be reduced on each anniversary of the Initial Redemption Date by
the Annual Redemption Percentage Reduction specified on the face hereof until
the redemption price of this Note is 100% of the principal amount hereof,
together with interest accrued and unpaid hereon to the date of redemption
(except as provided below). Notice of redemption shall be mailed to the holders
of the Notes designated for redemption who have filed their names and addresses
with the Principal Paying Agent, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior
to the date fixed for redemption or within the Redemption Notice


                                       6
<PAGE>


Period specified on the face hereof, subject to all the conditions and
provisions of the Indenture. Notice of redemption to all other holders of Notes
shall be given in the manner set forth in "Notices" as defined below, and, if
by publication, shall be given once in each of the three successive calendar
weeks, the first publication to be not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior
to the date set for redemption or within the Redemption Notice Period specified
on the face hereof. In the event of redemption of this Note in part only, the
Principal Paying Agent shall cause Schedule A of this Note to be endorsed to
reflect the reduction of its principal amount by an amount equal to the
aggregate principal amount of this Note so redeemed, whereupon the principal
amount hereof shall be reduced for all purposes by the amount so redeemed and
noted.

     If so indicated on the face of this Note, this Note will be subject to
repayment at the option of the holder on the Optional Repayment Date or Dates
specified on the face hereof on the terms set forth herein. On any Optional
Repayment Date, this Note will be repayable in whole or in part in increments
of $1,000 or, if this Note is denominated in a Specified Currency other than
U.S. dollars, in increments of 1,000 units of such Specified Currency (provided
that any remaining principal amount hereof shall not be less than the minimum
authorized denomination hereof) at the option of the holder hereof at a price
equal to 100% of the principal amount to be repaid, together with interest
accrued and unpaid hereon to the date of repayment (except as provided below).
For this Note to be repaid at the option of the holder hereof, the Principal
Paying Agent must receive at its office in London, at least 15 but not more
than 30 days prior to the date of repayment, this Note with the form entitled
"Option to Elect Repayment" below duly completed, or a telegram, telex,
facsimile transmission or a letter from a member of a national securities
exchange, or the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or a
commercial bank or trust company in the United States, Western Europe or Japan
setting forth the principal amount of the Note, the principal amount of the
Note to be repaid, the certificate number or a description of the tenor and
terms of this Note, a statement that the Option to Elect Repayment is being
exercised and a guarantee that this Note to be repaid, together with the duly
completed form entitled Option to Elect Repayment, will be received by the
principal paying agent not later than the fifth Business Day after the date of
that telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter. However, the telegram,
telex, facsimile transmission or letter shall only be effective if this Note
and an Option to Elect Repayment form duly completed are received by the Paying
Agent by the fifth Business Day after the date of such telegram, telex,
facsimile transmission or letter. Exercise of such repayment option by the
holder hereof shall be irrevocable. In the event of repayment of this Note in
part only, the Principal Paying Agent shall cause Schedule A of this Note to be
endorsed to reflect the reduction of its principal amount by an amount equal to
the aggregate principal amount of this Note so repaid, whereupon the principal
amount hereof shall be reduced for all purposes by the amount so repaid and
noted.

     This Note will bear interest at the rate determined in accordance with the
applicable provisions below by reference to the Base Rate shown on the face
hereof based on the Index Maturity, if any, shown on the face hereof (i) plus
or minus the Spread, if any, or (ii) multiplied by the Spread Multiplier, if
any, specified on the face hereof. Commencing with the Initial Interest Reset
Date specified on the face hereof, the rate at which interest on this Note is
payable shall be reset as of each Interest Reset Date specified on the face
hereof (as used herein, the term "Interest


                                       7
<PAGE>


Reset Date" shall include the Initial Interest Reset Date). The determination
of the rate of interest at which this Note will be reset on any Interest Reset
Date shall be made on the Interest Determination Date (as defined below)
pertaining to such Interest Reset Date. The Interest Reset Dates will be the
Interest Reset Dates specified on the face hereof; provided, however, that the
interest rate in effect for the period from the Interest Accrual Date to the
Initial Interest Reset Date will be the Initial Interest Rate. If any Interest
Reset Date would otherwise be a day that is not a Business Day (as defined
below), such Interest Reset Date shall be postponed to the next succeeding day
that is a Business Day, except that if the Base Rate specified on the face
hereof is LIBOR and such Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar month,
such Interest Reset Date shall be the immediately preceding Business Day.

     The Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for
Notes bearing interest calculated by reference to the CD Rate, Commercial Paper
Rate, Federal Funds Rate and Prime Rate will be the second Business Day next
preceding such Interest Reset Date. The Interest Determination Date pertaining
to an Interest Reset Date for Notes bearing interest calculated by reference to
LIBOR when the Index Currency is euros shall be the second TARGET Settlement
Day preceding such Interest Reset Date. The Interest Determination Date
pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for Notes bearing interest calculated by
reference to LIBOR (other than for LIBOR Notes for which the Index Currency is
euros) shall be the second London Banking Day preceding such Interest Reset
Date except that the Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest
Reset Date for a LIBOR Note for which the Index Currency is pounds sterling
will be such Interest Reset Date. As used herein, "London Banking Day" means
any day on which dealings in deposits in the Index Currency (as defined herein)
are transacted in the London interbank market. The Interest Determination Date
pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for Notes bearing interest calculated by
reference to the Treasury Rate shall be the day of the week in which such
Interest Reset Date falls on which Treasury bills normally would be auctioned;
provided, however, that if as a result of a legal holiday an auction is held on
the Friday of the week preceding such Interest Reset Date, the related Interest
Determination Date shall be such preceding Friday; and provided, further, that
if an auction shall fall on any Interest Reset Date, then the Interest Reset
Date shall instead be the first Business Day following the date of such
auction.

     Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, the "Calculation Date"
pertaining to an Interest Determination Date will be the earlier of (i) the
tenth calendar day after such Interest Determination Date or, if such day is
not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day, or (ii) the Business Day
preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date (or, with
respect to any principal amount to be redeemed or repaid, any redemption or
repayment date), as the case may be.

     Determination of CD Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is
the "CD Rate," for any Interest Determination Date, the CD Rate with respect to
this Note shall be the rate on that date for negotiable certificates of deposit
having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof as published by the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System in "Statistical Release
H.15(519), Selected Interest Rates," or any successor publication of the Board
of Governors of the Federal Reserve System ("H.15(519)") under the heading "CDs
(Secondary Market)."


                                       8
<PAGE>


     The following procedures shall be followed if the CD Rate cannot be
determined as described above:

     (i) If the above rate is not published in H.15(519) by 9:00 a.m., New York
City time, on the Calculation Date, the CD Rate shall be the rate on that
Interest Determination Date set forth in the daily update of H.15(519),
available through the world wide website of the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System at http://www.bog.frb.fed.us/releases/h15/update, or any
successor site or publication ("H.15 Daily Update") for the Interest
Determination Date for certificates of deposit having the Index Maturity
specified on the face hereof, under the caption "CDs (Secondary Market)."

     (ii) If the above rate is not yet published in either H.15(519) or the
H.15 Daily Update by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Calculation Date,
the Calculation Agent shall determine the CD Rate to be the arithmetic mean of
the secondary market offered rates as of 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on
that Interest Determination Date of three leading nonbank dealers in negotiable
U.S. dollar certificates of deposit in The City of New York selected by the
Calculation Agent (after consultation with the Issuer) for negotiable
certificates of deposit of major United States money center banks of the
highest credit standing in the market for negotiable certificates of deposit
with a remaining maturity closest to the Index Maturity specified on the face
hereof in an amount that is representative for a single transaction in that
market at that time.

     (iii) If the dealers selected by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as
described in (ii) above, the CD Rate shall remain the CD Rate for the
immediately preceding Interest Reset Period, or, if there was no Interest Reset
Period, the rate of interest payable shall be the Initial Interest Rate.

     Determination of Commercial Paper Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the
face hereof is the "Commercial Paper Rate," for any Interest Determination
Date, the Commercial Paper Rate with respect to this Note shall be the Money
Market Yield (as defined herein), calculated as described below, of the rate on
that date for commercial paper having the Index Maturity specified on the face
hereof, as that rate is published in H.15(519), under the heading "Commercial
Paper -- Nonfinancial."

     The following procedures shall be followed if the Commercial Paper Rate
cannot be determined as described above:

     (i) If the above rate is not published by 9:00 a.m., New York City time,
on the Calculation Date, then the Commercial Paper Rate shall be the Money
Market Yield of the rate on that Interest Determination Date for commercial
paper of the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof as published in the
H.15 Daily Update under the heading "Commercial Paper -- Nonfinancial."

     (ii) If by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on that Calculation Date the
rate is not yet published in either H.15(519) or the H.15 Daily Update, then
the Calculation Agent shall determine the Commercial Paper Rate to be the Money
Market Yield of the arithmetic mean of the offered rates


                                       9
<PAGE>


as of 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on that Interest Determination Date of
three leading dealers of commercial paper in The City of New York selected by
the Calculation Agent (after consultation with the Issuer) for commercial paper
of the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof, placed for an industrial
issuer whose bond rating is "AA," or the equivalent, from a nationally
recognized statistical rating agency.

     (iii) If the dealers selected by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as
mentioned above, the Commercial Paper Rate for that Interest Determination Date
shall remain the Commercial Paper Rate for the immediately preceding Interest
Reset Period, or, if there was no Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest
payable shall be the Initial Interest Rate.

     The "Money Market Yield" shall be a yield calculated in accordance with
the following formula:
                                    D x 360
          Money Market Yield  =  ------------- x 100
                                 360 - (D x M)

where "D" refers to the applicable per year rate for commercial paper quoted on
a bank discount basis and expressed as a decimal and "M" refers to the actual
number of days in the interest period for which interest is being calculated.

     Determination of the Federal Funds Rates. If the Base Rate specified on
the face hereof is the "Federal Funds Rate," for any Interest Determination
Date, the Federal Funds Rate with respect to this Note shall be the rate on
that date for federal funds as published in H.15(519) under the heading
"Federal Funds (Effective)" as displayed on Bridge Telerate, Inc., or any
successor service, on page 120 or any other page as may replace page 120 on
that service ("Telerate Page 120").

     The following procedures shall be followed if the Federal Funds Rate
cannot be determined as described above:

     (i) If the above rate is not published by 9:00 a.m., New York City time,
on the Calculation Date, the Federal Funds Rate shall be the rate on that
Interest Determination Date as published in the H.15 Daily Update under the
heading "Federal Funds/Effective Rate."

     (ii) If that rate is not yet published in either H.15(519) or the H.15
Daily Update by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Calculation Date, the
Calculation Agent shall determine the Federal Funds Rate to be the arithmetic
mean of the rates for the last transaction in overnight federal funds by each
of three leading brokers of federal funds transactions in The City of New York
selected by the Calculation Agent (after consultation with the Issuer) prior to
9:00 a.m., New York City time, on that Interest Determination Date.

     (iii) If the brokers selected by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as
mentioned above, the Federal Funds Rate relating to that Interest Determination
Date shall remain the Federal Funds


                                       10
<PAGE>


Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period, or, if there was no
Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable shall be the Initial
Interest Rate.

     Determination of LIBOR. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is
"LIBOR," LIBOR with respect to this Note shall be based on London interbank
offered rate. The Calculation Agent shall determine "LIBOR" for each Interest
Determination Date as follows:

     (i) As of the Interest Determination Date, LIBOR shall be either: (a) if
"LIBOR Reuters" is specified as the Reporting Service on the face hereof, the
arithmetic mean of the offered rates for deposits in the Index Currency having
the Index Maturity designated on the face hereof, commencing on the second
London Banking Day immediately following that Interest Determination Date, that
appear on the Designated LIBOR Page, as defined below, as of 11:00 a.m., London
time, on that Interest Determination Date, if at least two offered rates appear
on the Designated LIBOR Page; except that if the specified Designated LIBOR
Page, by its terms provides only for a single rate, that single rate shall be
used; or (b) if "LIBOR Telerate" is specified as the Reporting Service on the
face hereof, the rate for deposits in the Index Currency having the Index
Maturity designated on the face hereof, commencing on the second London Banking
Day immediately following that Interest Determination Date or, if pounds
sterling is the Index Currency, commencing on that Interest Determination Date,
that appears on the Designated LIBOR Page at approximately 11:00 a.m., London
time, on that Interest Determination Date.

     (ii) If (a) fewer than two offered rates appear and LIBOR Reuters is
specified on the face hereof, or (b) no rate appears and the face hereof
specifies either (x) LIBOR Telerate or (y) LIBOR Reuters and the Designated
LIBOR Page by its terms provides only for a single rate, then the Calculation
Agent shall request the principal London offices of each of four major
reference banks in the London interbank market, as selected by the Calculation
Agent (after consultation with the Issuer) to provide the Calculation Agent
with its offered quotation for deposits in the Index Currency for the period of
the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof commencing on the second London
Banking Day immediately following the Interest Determination Date or, if pounds
sterling is the Index Currency, commencing on that Interest Determination Date,
to prime banks in the London interbank market at approximately 11:00 a.m.,
London time, on that Interest Determination Date and in a principal amount that
is representative of a single transaction in that Index Currency in that market
at that time.

     (iii) If at least two quotations are provided, LIBOR determined on that
Interest Determination Date shall be the arithmetic mean of those quotations.
If fewer than two quotations are provided, LIBOR shall be determined for the
applicable Interest Reset Date as the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted at
approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, or some other time specified on the face
hereof, in the applicable principal financial center for the country of the
Index Currency on that Interest Reset Date, by three major banks in that
principal financial center selected by the Calculation Agent (after
consultation with the Issuer) for loans in the Index Currency to leading
European banks, having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof and in a
principal amount that is representative of a single transaction in that Index
Currency in that market at that time.


                                       11
<PAGE>


     (iv) If the banks so selected by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as
described in (iii) above, LIBOR in effect for the applicable period shall be
the same as LIBOR for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period, or, if
there was no Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable shall be the
Initial Interest Rate.

     The "Index Currency" means the currency specified on the face hereof as
the currency for which LIBOR shall be calculated, or, if the euro is
substituted for that currency, the Index Currency shall be the euro. If that
currency is not specified on the face hereof, the Index Currency shall be U.S.
dollars.

     "Designated LIBOR Page" means either: (a) if LIBOR Reuters is designated
as the Reporting Service on the face hereof, the display on the Reuters Monitor
Money Rates Service for the purpose of displaying the London interbank rates of
major banks for the applicable Index Currency or its designated successor, or
(b) if LIBOR Telerate is designated as the Reporting Service on the face
hereof, the display on Bridge Telerate Inc., or any successor service, on the
page specified on the face hereof, or any other page as may replace that page
on that service, for the purpose of displaying the London interbank rates of
major banks for the applicable Index Currency.

     If neither LIBOR Reuters nor LIBOR Telerate is specified on the face
hereof, LIBOR for the applicable Index Currency shall be determined as if LIBOR
Telerate were specified, and, if the U.S. dollar is the Index Currency, as if
Page 3750, had been specified.

     Determination of Prime Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof
is "Prime Rate," for any Interest Determination Date, the Prime Rate with
respect to this Note shall be the rate on that date as published in H.15(519)
under the heading "Bank Prime Loan."

     The following procedures shall be followed if the Prime Rate cannot be
determined as described above:

     (i) If the rate is not published prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time,
on the Calculation Date, then the Prime Rate shall be the rate on that Interest
Determination Date as published in H.15 Daily Update under the heading "Bank
Prime Loan."

     (ii) If the rate is not published prior to 3:00 p.m., New York City time,
on the Calculation Date in either H.15(519) or the H.15 Daily Update, then the
Calculation Agent shall determine the Prime Rate to be the arithmetic mean of
the rates of interest publicly announced by each bank that appears on the
Reuters Screen USPRIME 1 Page, as defined below, as that bank's Prime Rate or
base lending rate as in effect for that Interest Determination Date.

     (iii) If fewer than four rates appear on the Reuters Screen USPRIME 1 Page
for that Interest Determination Date, the Calculation Agent shall determine the
Prime Rate to be the arithmetic mean of the Prime Rates quoted on the basis of
the actual number of days in the year divided by 360 as of


                                       12
<PAGE>


the close of business on that Interest Determination Date by at least three
major banks in The City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent (after
consultation with the Issuer).

     (iv) If the banks selected are not quoting as described in (iii) above,
the Prime Rate shall remain the Prime Rate for the immediately preceding
Interest Reset Period, or, if there was no Interest Reset Period, the rate of
interest payable shall be the Initial Interest Rate.

     "Reuters Screen USPRIME 1 Page" means the display designated as page
"USPRIME 1" on the Reuters Monitor Money Rates Service, or any successor
service, or any other page as may replace the USPRIME 1 Page on that service
for the purpose of displaying prime rates or base lending rates of major United
States banks.

     Determination of Treasury Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face
hereof is "Treasury Rate," the Treasury Rate with respect to this Note shall be

     (i) the rate from the Auction held on the applicable Interest
Determination Date (the "Auction") of direct obligations of the United States
("Treasury Bills") having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof as
that rate appears under the caption "INVESTMENT RATE" on the display on Bridge
Telerate, Inc., or any successor service, on page 56 or any other page as may
replace page 56 on that service ( "Telerate Page 56") or page 57 or any other
page as may replace page 57 on that service ( "Telerate Page 57"); or

     (ii) if the rate described in (i) above is not published by 3:00 p.m., New
York City time, on the Calculation Date, the Bond Equivalent Yield of the rate
for the applicable Treasury Bills as published in the H.15 Daily Update, or
other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying the
applicable rate, under the caption "U.S. Government Securities/Treasury
Bills/Auction High;" or

     (iii) if the rate described in (ii) above is not published by 3:00 p.m.,
New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, the Bond Equivalent Yield
of the Auction rate of the applicable Treasury Bills, announced by the United
States Department of the Treasury; or

     (iv) in the event that the rate described in (iii) above is not announced
by the United States Department of the Treasury, or if the Auction is not held,
the Bond Equivalent Yield of the rate on the applicable Interest Determination
Date of Treasury Bills having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof
published in H.15(519) under the caption "U.S. Government Securities/Treasury
Bills/Secondary Market;" or

     (v) if the rate described in (iv) above is not so published by 3:00 p.m.,
New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, the rate on the applicable
Interest Determination Date of the applicable Treasury Bills as published in
H.15 Daily Update, or other recognized electronic source used for the purpose
of displaying the applicable rate, under the caption "U.S. Government
Securities/Treasury Bills/Secondary Market;" or


                                       13
<PAGE>


     (vi) if the rate described in (v) above is not so published by 3:00 p.m.,
New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, the rate on the applicable
Interest Determination Date calculated by the Calculation Agent as the Bond
Equivalent Yield of the arithmetic mean of the secondary market bid rates, as
of approximately 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on the applicable Interest
Determination Date, of three primary United States government securities
dealers, which may include the agent or its affiliates, selected by the
Calculation Agent, for the issue of Treasury Bills with a remaining maturity
closest to the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof; or

     (vii) if the dealers selected by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as
described in (vi), the Treasury Rate for the immediately preceding Interest
Reset Period, or, if there was no Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest
payable shall be the Initial Interest Rate.

     The "Bond Equivalent Yield" means a yield calculated in accordance with
the following formula and expressed as a percentage:

                                       D x N
          Bond Equivalent Yield  = ------------- x 100
                                   360 - (D x M)

where "D" refers to the applicable per annum rate for Treasury Bills quoted on
a bank discount basis, "N" refers to 365 or 366, as the case may be, and "M"
refers to the actual number of days in the interest period for which interest
is being calculated.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, the interest rate hereon shall not be
greater than the Maximum Interest Rate, if any, or less than the Minimum
Interest Rate, if any, specified on the face hereof. The Calculation Agent
shall calculate the interest rate hereon in accordance with the foregoing on or
before each Calculation Date. The interest rate on this Note will in no event
be higher than the maximum rate permitted by New York law, as the same may be
modified by United States Federal law of general application.

     At the request of the holder hereof, the Calculation Agent will provide to
the holder hereof the interest rate hereon then in effect and, if determined,
the interest rate that will become effective as of the next Interest Reset
Date.

     Interest payments on this Note will include interest accrued to but
excluding the Interest Payment Dates or the Maturity Date (or any earlier
redemption or repayment date), as the case may be. Accrued interest hereon
shall be an amount calculated by multiplying the principal amount hereof shown
on Schedule A hereto by an accrued interest factor. Such accrued interest
factor shall be computed by adding the interest factor calculated for each day
in the period for which interest is being paid. Unless otherwise specified on
the face hereof, the interest factor for each such date shall be computed by
dividing the interest rate applicable to such day (i) by 360 if the Base Rate
is CD Rate, Commercial Paper Rate, Federal Funds Rate, Prime Rate or LIBOR
(except if the Index Currency is pounds sterling); (ii) by 365 if the Base Rate
is LIBOR and the Index Currency is pounds


                                       14
<PAGE>


sterling; or (iii) by the actual number of days in the year if the Base Rate is
the Treasury Rate. All percentages resulting from any calculation of the rate
of interest on this Note will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one
hundred-thousandth of a percentage point (.0000001), with five one-millionths
of a percentage point rounded upward, and all dollar amounts used in or
resulting from such calculation on this Note will be rounded to the nearest
cent (with one-half cent rounded upward). The interest rate in effect on any
Interest Reset Date will be the applicable rate as reset on such date. The
interest rate applicable to any other day is the interest rate from the
immediately preceding Interest Reset Date (or, if none, the Initial Interest
Rate).

     This Note and all the obligations of the Issuer hereunder are direct,
unsecured obligations of the Issuer and rank without preference or priority
among themselves and pari passu with all other existing and future unsecured
and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Issuer, subject to certain statutory
exceptions in the event of liquidation upon insolvency.

     This Note is issued in permanent global bearer form without interest
coupons attached (a "Global Bearer Note"). The beneficial owner of all or a
portion of this Note may exchange its interest in this Note upon not less than
30 days' written notice to the Principal Paying Agent through the relevant
clearing system, in whole, for Notes in bearer form with interest coupons, if
any, attached (the "Definitive Bearer Notes," and, together with the Global
Bearer Notes, the "Bearer Notes") or, if so indicated on the face of this Note,
at the beneficial owner's option, in whole or from time to time in part, for
Notes in fully registered form without coupons (the "Registered Notes"), in
each case, in the minimum denominations set forth on the face hereof or any
amount in excess thereof which is an integral multiple of 1,000 units of the
Specified Currency set forth on the face hereof. Interests in this Note shall
also be exchanged by the Issuer in whole, but not in part, for Definitive
Bearer Notes, which shall be serially numbered, with coupons, if any, attached
(or, if indicated on the face of this Note, at the beneficial owner's option,
for Registered Notes) of any authorized denominations if (i) this Note is
accelerated following an Event of Default or (ii) either Euroclear or
Clearstream, Luxembourg or any other relevant clearing system is closed for
business for a continuous period of fourteen days (other than by reason of
public holidays) or announces an intention to cease business permanently or in
fact does so. The Issuer shall give notice to the Principal Paying Agent
promptly following any such acceleration or upon learning of any such closure.
Any exchanges referred to above shall be made at the office of the Principal
Paying Agent, or, in the case of Registered Notes, at the office of the
transfer agent for the Registered Notes in London, which transfer agent will
initially be Bankers Trust Company, upon compliance with any procedures set
forth in, or established pursuant to, the Indenture; provided, however, that
the Issuer shall not be required (i) to exchange this Note for a period of
fifteen calendar days preceding the first publication or other transmission, if
applicable, of a notice of redemption of all or any portion hereof or (ii) to
exchange any portion of this Note selected for redemption or surrendered for
optional repayment, except that such portion of this Note may be exchanged for
a Registered Note of like tenor; provided that such Registered Note shall be
simultaneously surrendered for redemption or repayment, as the case may be; and
provided, further, that if a Registered Note is issued in exchange for any
portion of this Note after the close of business at the office of the Principal
Paying Agent on any record date (whether or not a Business Day) for the payment
of interest on such Registered Note


                                       15
<PAGE>


and before the opening of business at such office on the relevant Interest
Payment Date, any interest will not be payable on such Interest Payment Date in
respect of such Registered Note, but will be payable on such Interest Payment
Date only to the holder of this Note. Upon exchange of this Note in whole for a
Definitive Bearer Note or Definitive Bearer Notes, or in whole or in part for a
Registered Note or Registered Notes, the Principal Paying Agent shall cause
Schedule A of this Note to be endorsed to reflect the reduction of the
principal amount hereof by an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of
such Definitive Bearer Note or Definitive Bearer Notes, or such Registered Note
or Registered Notes, whereupon the principal amount hereof shall be reduced for
all purposes by the amount so exchanged and noted. All such exchanges of Notes
will be free of service charge, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection
therewith. The date of any Note delivered upon any exchange of this Note shall
be such that no gain or loss of interest results from such exchange.

     All (and not less than all) interests in this Note will be exchanged for
Definitive Bearer Notes in accordance with the procedures set forth in the
following two sentences as soon as practicable after (i) the first beneficial
owner of an interest in this Note exchanges its interest for a Definitive
Bearer Note, (ii) the Issuer gives notice to the Principal Paying Agent of an
acceleration of the Note or (iii) either Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg
or any other relevant clearing system is closed for business for a continuous
period of fourteen days (other than by reason of public holidays) or announces
an intention to cease business permanently or in fact does so. In the event of
any exchange of interests in this Note for a Definitive Bearer Note, a common
depositary located outside the United States (the "common depositary") holding
this Note for Euroclear Bank, as operator of the Euroclear System (the
"Euroclear Operator"), Clearstream Banking, societe anonyme ("Clearstream,
Luxembourg"), and/or any other relevant clearing system (including Societe
Interprofessionelle pour la Compensation des Valeurs Mobilieres ("SICOVAM"))
shall instruct the Principal Paying Agent regarding the aggregate principal
amount of Definitive Bearer Notes and the denominations of such Definitive
Bearer Notes that must be authenticated and delivered to each relevant clearing
system in exchange for this Note. Thereafter, the Principal Paying Agent,
acting solely in reliance on such instructions, shall, upon surrender to it of
this Note and subject to the conditions in the preceding paragraph,
authenticate and deliver Definitive Bearer Notes in exchange for this Note in
accordance with such instructions and shall cause Schedule A of this Note to be
endorsed to reflect the reduction of its principal amount by an amount equal to
the aggregate principal amount of this Note. Nothing in this paragraph shall
prevent the further exchange of Definitive Bearer Notes into Registered Notes.

     This Note may be transferred by delivery; provided, however, that this
Note may be transferred only to a common depositary outside the United States
for the Euroclear Operator, Clearstream, Luxembourg and/or any other relevant
clearing system or to a nominee of such a depositary.

     In case this Note shall at any time become mutilated, defaced or be
destroyed, lost or stolen and this Note or evidence of the loss, theft or
destruction thereof (together with the indemnity hereinafter referred to and
such other documents or proof as may be required in the premises) shall


                                       16
<PAGE>


be delivered to the Trustee, the Issuer in its discretion may execute a new
Note of like tenor in exchange for this Note, but, in the case of any
destroyed, lost or stolen Note, only upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to
the Trustee and the Issuer that this Note was destroyed, lost or stolen and, if
required, upon receipt also of indemnity satisfactory to each of them. All
expenses and reasonable charges associated with procuring such indemnity and
with the preparation, authentication and delivery of a new Note shall be borne
by the owner of the Note mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen.

     This Note may be redeemed, as a whole, at the option of the Issuer at any
time prior to maturity, upon the giving of a notice of redemption as described
below, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount hereof,
together with accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption, if the Issuer
determines that, as a result of any change in or amendment to the laws (or any
regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder) of the United States or of any
political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein affecting
taxation, or any change in official position regarding the application or
interpretation of such laws, regulations or rulings, which change or amendment
becomes effective on or after the Original Issue Date hereof, the Issuer has or
will become obligated to pay Additional Amounts (as defined below) with respect
to this Note as described below. Prior to the giving of any Notice of
redemption pursuant to this paragraph, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee
(i) a certificate stating that the Issuer is entitled to effect such redemption
and setting forth a statement of facts showing that the conditions precedent to
the right of the Issuer to so redeem have occurred, and (ii) an opinion of
independent counsel satisfactory to the Trustee to such effect based on such
statement of facts; provided that no such notice of redemption shall be given
earlier than 60 days prior to the earliest date on which the Issuer would be
obligated to pay such Additional Amounts if a payment in respect of this Note
were then due.

     Notice of redemption will be given not less than 30 nor more than 60 days
prior to the date fixed for redemption or within the Redemption Notice Period
specified on the face hereof, which date and the applicable redemption price
will be specified in the Notice.

     If the Issuer shall determine that any payment made outside the United
States by the Issuer or any Paying Agent of principal, premium or interest due
in respect of this Note would, under any present or future laws or regulations
of the United States, be subject to any certification, identification or other
information reporting requirement of any kind, the effect of which is the
disclosure to the Issuer, any Paying Agent or any governmental authority of the
nationality, residence or identity of a beneficial owner of this Note who is a
United States Alien (as defined below) (other than such a requirement (a) that
would not be applicable to a payment made by the Issuer or any Paying Agent (i)
directly to the beneficial owner or (ii) to a custodian, nominee or other agent
of the beneficial owner, or (b) that can be satisfied by such custodian,
nominee or other agent certifying to the effect that such beneficial owner is a
United States Alien; provided that in each case referred to in clauses (a)(ii)
and (b) payment by such custodian, nominee or agent to such beneficial owner is
not otherwise subject to any such requirement), the Issuer shall redeem this
Note, as a whole, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount
thereof, together with accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption, or,
at the election of the Issuer if the conditions of the next succeeding


                                       17
<PAGE>


paragraph are satisfied, pay the additional amounts specified in such
paragraph. The Issuer shall make such determination and election as soon as
practicable, shall promptly notify the Trustee thereof and shall publish (or
transmit, as applicable) prompt notice thereof (the "Determination Notice")
stating the effective date of such certification, identification or other
information reporting requirements, whether the Issuer will redeem this Note or
has elected to pay the additional amounts specified in the next succeeding
paragraph, and (if applicable) the last date by which the redemption of this
Note must take place, as provided in the next succeeding sentence. If the
Issuer redeems this Note, such redemption shall take place on such date, not
later than one year after the publication of the Determination Notice, as the
Issuer shall elect by notice to the Trustee at least 60 days prior to the date
fixed for redemption or at least 30 days prior to the last day of the
Redemption Notice Period specified on the face hereof. Notice of such
redemption of this Note will be given to the holder of this Note not more than
60 nor less than 30 days prior to the date fixed for redemption or within the
Redemption Notice Period specified on the face hereof. Such redemption notice
shall include a statement as to the last date by which this Note to be redeemed
may be exchanged for Registered Notes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Issuer shall not so redeem this Note if the Issuer shall subsequently
determine, not less than 30 days prior to the date fixed for redemption or
prior to the last day of the Redemption Notice Period specified on the face
hereof, that subsequent payments would not be subject to any such
certification, identification or other information reporting requirement, in
which case the Issuer shall publish (or transmit, as applicable) prompt notice
of such determination and any earlier redemption notice shall be revoked and of
no further effect. The right of the holder of this Note to exchange this Note
for Registered Notes pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph will
terminate at the close of business of the Principal Paying Agent on the
fifteenth day prior to the date fixed for redemption, and no further exchanges
of this Note for Registered Notes shall be permitted.

     If and so long as the certification, identification or other information
reporting requirements referred to in the preceding paragraph would be fully
satisfied by payment of a backup withholding tax or similar charge, the Issuer
may elect by notice to the Trustee to pay as additional amounts such amounts as
may be necessary so that every net payment made outside the United States
following the effective date of such requirements by the Issuer or any Paying
Agent of principal, premium or interest due in respect of this Note of which
the beneficial owner is a United States Alien (but without any requirement that
the nationality, residence or identity of such beneficial owner be disclosed to
the Issuer, any Paying Agent or any governmental authority, with respect to the
payment of such additional amounts), after deduction or withholding for or on
account of such backup withholding tax or similar charge (other than a backup
withholding tax or similar charge that (i) would not be applicable in the
circumstances referred to in the second parenthetical clause of the first
sentence of the preceding paragraph, or (ii) is imposed as a result of
presentation of this Note for payment more than 15 days after the date on which
such payment becomes due and payable or on which payment thereof is duly
provided for, whichever occurs later), will not be less than the amount
provided for in this Note to be then due and payable. In the event the Issuer
elects to pay any additional amounts pursuant to this paragraph, the Issuer
shall have the right to redeem this Note as a whole at any time pursuant to the
applicable provisions of the immediately preceding paragraph and the redemption
price of this Note will not be reduced for applicable withholding taxes. If the


                                       18
<PAGE>


Issuer elects to pay additional amounts pursuant to this paragraph and the
condition specified in the first sentence of this paragraph should no longer be
satisfied, then the Issuer will redeem this Note as a whole, pursuant to the
applicable provisions of the immediately preceding paragraph.

     The Issuer will, subject to certain exceptions and limitations set forth
below, pay such additional amounts (the "Additional Amounts") to the holder of
this Note who is a United States Alien as may be necessary in order that every
net payment of the principal of and interest on this Note and any other amounts
payable on this Note, after withholding for or on account of any present or
future tax, assessment or governmental charge imposed upon or as a result of
such payment by the United States (or any political subdivision or taxing
authority thereof or therein), will not be less than the amount provided for in
this Note to be then due and payable. The Issuer will not, however, be required
to make any payment of Additional Amounts to any such holder for or on account
of:

          (a) any such tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would
     not have been so imposed but for (i) the existence of any present or
     former connection between such holder (or between a fiduciary, settlor,
     beneficiary, member or shareholder of such holder, if such holder is an
     estate, a trust, a partnership or a corporation) and the United States and
     its possessions, including, without limitation, such holder (or such
     fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder) being or having
     been a citizen or resident thereof or being or having been engaged in a
     trade or business or present therein or having, or having had, a permanent
     establishment therein or (ii) the presentation by the holder of this Note
     for payment on a date more than 15 days after the date on which such
     payment became due and payable or the date on which payment thereof is
     duly provided for, whichever occurs later;

          (b) any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer or personal
     property tax or any similar tax, assessment or governmental charge;

          (c) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by
     reason of such holder's past or present status as a personal holding
     company or foreign personal holding company or controlled foreign
     corporation or passive foreign investment company with respect to the
     United States or as a corporation which accumulates earnings to avoid
     United States federal income tax or as a private foundation or other
     tax-exempt organization;

          (d) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is payable
     otherwise than by withholding from payments on or in respect of this Note;

          (e) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge required to be
     withheld by any Paying Agent from any payment of principal of, or interest
     on, this Note, if such payment can be made without such withholding by any
     other Paying Agent in a city in Western Europe;

          (f) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not
     have been imposed but for the failure to comply with certification,
     information or other reporting


                                       19
<PAGE>


     requirements concerning the nationality, residence or identity of the
     holder or beneficial owner of this Note, if such compliance is required by
     statute or by regulation of the United States or of any political
     subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein as a precondition to
     relief or exemption from such tax, assessment or other governmental
     charge;

          (g) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by
     reason of such holder's past or present status as the actual or
     constructive owner of 10% or more of the total combined voting power of
     all classes of stock entitled to vote of the Issuer or as a direct or
     indirect subsidiary of the Issuer; or

          (h) any combination of items (a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f) or (g);

nor shall Additional Amounts be paid with respect to any payment on this Note
to a United States Alien who is a fiduciary or partnership or other than the
sole beneficial owner of such payment to the extent such payment would be
required by the laws of the United States (or any political subdivision
thereof) to be included in the income, for tax purposes, of a beneficiary or
settlor with respect to such fiduciary or a member of such partnership or a
beneficial owner who would not have been entitled to the Additional Amounts had
such beneficiary, settlor, member or beneficial owner been the holder of this
Note.

     The Indenture provides that (a) if an Event of Default (as defined in the
Indenture) due to the default in payment of principal of, premium, if any, or
interest on, any series of debt securities issued under the Indenture,
including the series of Medium-Term Notes of which this Note forms a part, or
due to the default in the performance or breach of any other covenant or
warranty of the Issuer applicable to the debt securities of such series but not
applicable to all outstanding debt securities issued under the Indenture, shall
have occurred and be continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of not less
than 25% in principal amount of the debt securities of each affected series
(voting as a single class) may then declare the principal of all debt
securities of all such series and interest accrued thereon to be due and
payable immediately and (b) if an Event of Default due to a default in the
performance of any other of the covenants or agreements in the Indenture
applicable to all outstanding debt securities issued thereunder, including this
Note, or due to certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency of the Issuer, shall
have occurred and be continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of not less
than 25% in principal amount of all debt securities issued under the Indenture
then outstanding (treated as one class) may declare the principal of all such
debt securities and interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately,
but upon certain conditions such declarations may be annulled and past defaults
may be waived (except a continuing default in payment of principal (or premium,
if any) or interest on such debt securities) by the holders of a majority in
principal amount of the debt securities of all affected series then
outstanding.

     The Indenture permits the Issuer and the Trustee, with the consent of the
holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the debt
securities of all series issued under the Indenture then outstanding and
affected (voting as one class), to execute supplemental indentures adding any
provisions to or changing in any manner the rights of the holders of each
series so


                                       20

affected; provided that the Issuer and the Trustee may not, without the consent
of the holder of each outstanding debt security affected thereby, (a) extend
the final maturity of any such debt security, or reduce the principal amount
thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon,
or reduce any amount payable on redemption or repayment thereof, or change the
currency of payment thereof, or modify or amend the provisions for conversion
of any currency into any other currency, or modify or amend the provisions for
conversion or exchange of the debt security for securities of the Issuer or
other entities (other than as provided in the antidilution provisions or other
similar adjustment provisions of the debt securities or otherwise in accordance
with the terms thereof), or impair or affect the rights of any holder to
institute suit for the payment thereof without the consent of the holder of
each debt security so affected; or (b) reduce the aforesaid percentage in
principal amount of debt securities the consent of the holders of which is
required for any such supplemental indenture.

     Except as set forth below, if the principal of, premium, if any, or
interest on, this Note is payable in a Specified Currency other than U.S.
dollars and such Specified Currency is not available to the Issuer for making
payments hereon due to the imposition of exchange controls or other
circumstances beyond the control of the Issuer or is no longer used by the
government of the country issuing such currency or for the settlement of
transactions by public institutions within the international banking community,
then the Issuer will be entitled to satisfy its obligations to the holder of
this Note by making such payments in U.S. dollars on the basis of the Market
Exchange Rate (as defined below) on the date of such payment or, if the Market
Exchange Rate is not available on such date, as of the most recent practicable
date; provided, however, that if the euro has been substituted for such
Specified Currency, the Issuer may at its option (or shall, if so required by
applicable law) without the consent of the holder of this Note effect the
payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any Note denominated
in such Specified Currency in euro in lieu of such Specified Currency in
conformity with legally applicable measures taken pursuant to, or by virtue of,
the treaty establishing the EC, as amended by the Treaty. Any payment made
under such circumstances in U.S. dollars or euro where the required payment is
in an unavailable Specified Currency will not constitute an Event of Default.
If such Market Exchange Rate is not then available to the Issuer or is not
published for a particular Specified Currency, the Market Exchange Rate will be
based on the highest bid quotation in The City of New York received by the
Exchange Rate Agent (as defined below) at approximately 11:00 a.m., The City of
New York time, on the second Business Day preceding the date of such payment
from three recognized foreign exchange dealers (the "Exchange Dealers") for the
purchase by the quoting Exchange Dealer of the Specified Currency for U.S.
dollars for settlement on the payment date, in the aggregate amount of the
Specified Currency payable to those holders or beneficial owners of Notes and
at which the applicable Exchange Dealer commits to execute a contract. One of
the Exchange Dealers providing quotations may be the Exchange Rate Agent unless
the Exchange Rate Agent is an affiliate of the Issuer. If those bid quotations
are not available, the Exchange Rate Agent shall determine the market exchange
rate at its sole discretion.

     The "Exchange Rate Agent" shall be [         ], unless otherwise indicated
on the face hereof.


                                       21

     All determinations referred to above made by, or on behalf of, the Issuer
or by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent shall be at such entity's sole
discretion and shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all
purposes and binding on holders of Notes and coupons.

     So long as this Note shall be outstanding, the Issuer will cause to be
maintained an office or agency for the payment of the principal of and premium,
if any, and interest on this Note as herein provided. If this Note is listed on
the London Stock Exchange Limited and such Exchange so requires, the Issuer
shall maintain a Paying Agent in London. The Issuer may designate other
agencies for the payment of said principal, premium and interest at such place
or places outside the United States (subject to applicable laws and
regulations) as the Issuer may decide. So long as there shall be such an
agency, the Issuer shall keep the Trustee advised of the names and locations of
such agencies, if any are so designated.

     With respect to moneys paid by the Issuer and held by the Trustee or any
Paying Agent for payment of the principal of or interest or premium, if any, on
any Notes that remain unclaimed at the end of two years after such principal,
interest or premium shall have become due and payable (whether at maturity or
upon call for redemption or otherwise), (i) the Trustee or such Paying Agent
shall notify the holders of such Notes that such moneys shall be repaid to the
Issuer and any person claiming such moneys shall thereafter look only to the
Issuer for payment thereof and (ii) such moneys shall be so repaid to the
Issuer. Upon such repayment all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent
with respect to such moneys shall thereupon cease, without, however, limiting
in any way any obligation that the Issuer may have to pay the principal of or
interest or premium, if any, on this Note as the same shall become due.

     No provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the
obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the
principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this Note at the time, place,
and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed unless otherwise
agreed between the Issuer and the holder of this Note.

     The Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee may
treat the holder of this Note as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or
not this Note be overdue, and none of the Issuer, the Trustee or any such agent
shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

     No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of, premium, if
any, or the interest on this Note for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in
respect hereof, or based on or in respect of the Indenture or any indenture
supplemental thereto, against any incorporator, shareholder, officer or
director, as such, past, present or future, of the Issuer or of any successor
corporation, either directly or through the Issuer or any successor
corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law or
by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such
liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for
the issue hereof, expressly waived and released.

provided, however, that if the Interest Accrual Date occurs fifteen days or
less prior to the first Interest Payment Date occurring after the Interest
Accrual Date, interest payments will commence on the second Interest Payment
Date succeeding the Interest Accrual Date; and provided, further, that if an
Interest Payment Date (other than the Maturity Date (as specified above) or
redemption or repayment date) would fall on a day that is not a Business Day,
as defined below, such Interest Payment Date shall be the following day that is
a Business Day, except that if the Base Rate specified above is LIBOR and such
next Business Day falls in the next calendar month, such Interest Payment Date
shall be the immediately preceding day that is a Business Day; and provided,
further, that if the Maturity Date or redemption or repayment date would fall
on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment of principal, premium, if any,
and interest will be made on the next succeeding Business Day and no interest
shall accrue for the period from and after such Maturity Date or redemption or
repayment date.

     Interest on this Note will accrue from and including the most recent
Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, or,
if no interest has been paid or duly provided for, from and including the
Interest Accrual Date, until but excluding the date the principal amount hereof
has been paid or duly made available for payment. Upon any payment of interest
on this Note, the Principal Paying Agent (as defined below) shall cause
Schedule A of this Note to be endorsed to reflect such payment. No payment on
this Note will be made at any office or agency of the Issuer in the United
States or by check mailed to an address in the United States (as defined below)
or by wire transfer to an account maintained by the holder of this Note with a
bank in the United States except as may be permitted under United States
federal tax laws and regulations then in effect without adverse tax
consequences to the Issuer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that
payment in U.S. dollars of the full amount payable on this Note at the offices
of all Paying Agents (as defined below) would be illegal or effectively
precluded as a result of exchange controls or similar restrictions, payment on
this Note will be made by a paying agency in the United States, if such paying
agency, under applicable law and regulations, would be able to make such
payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Note, no payment of
principal or interest shall be made on any portion of this Note unless there
shall have been delivered to the Principal Paying Agent a certificate
substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto with respect to the portion of
this Note with respect to which such principal or interest is to be paid. Such
certificate shall have been delivered to the Principal Paying Agent by
Euroclear Bank, as operator of the Euroclear System (the "Euroclear Operator"),
Clearstream Banking, societe anonyme ("Clearstream, Luxembourg"), and/or any
other relevant clearing system (including Societe Interprofessionelle pour la
Compensation des Valeurs Mobilieres and the Intermediaires financiers habilites
authorized to maintain accounts therein (SICOVAM")), as the case may be, and
shall be based on a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto
provided to the Euroclear Operator, Clearstream, Luxembourg and/or any other
relevant clearing system, as the case may be, by those of its account holders
who are to receive such payment of principal or interest.

     This Note is issued in temporary global bearer form and represents all or
a portion of a duly authorized issue of Global Medium-Term Notes, Series B (the
"Notes") of the Issuer. The Notes are issuable under an Indenture, dated as of
[         ], 200_, between the Issuer and Bankers Trust

under the Indenture) (as may be amended or supplemented from time to time, the
"Indenture") to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto
reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations
of rights, duties and immunities of the Issuer, the Trustee and holders of the
Notes and the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and
delivered. The Issuer has appointed Bankers Trust Company, as its principal
paying agent for the Notes (the "Principal Paying Agent," which term includes
any additional or successor Principal Paying Agent appointed by the Issuer).

     Except as otherwise provided herein, this Note is governed by the terms
and conditions of the Permanent Global Floating Rate Bearer Note (the
"Permanent Global Bearer Note") to be issued in exchange for this Note, which
terms and conditions are hereby incorporated by reference herein mutatis
mutandis and shall be binding on the Issuer and the holder hereof as if fully
set forth herein. The form of the Permanent Global Bearer Note is attached
hereto.

     This Note is exchangeable in whole or from time to time in part on or
after the Exchange Date (as defined below) for an interest (equal to the
principal amount of the portion of this Note being exchanged) in a single

behalf of the owner of a beneficial interest in this Note, to the Principal
Paying Agent upon delivery to the Principal Paying Agent of a certificate
substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto with respect to the portion of
this Note to be exchanged. Such certificate shall have been delivered to the
Principal Paying Agent by the Euroclear Operator, Clearstream, Luxembourg
and/or any other relevant clearing system, as the case may be, and shall be
based on a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto provided
to the Euroclear Operator, Clearstream, Luxembourg and/or any other relevant
clearing system, as the case may be, by those of its account holders having an
interest in the portion hereof to be exchanged. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
if this Note is subject to a tax redemption as described on the reverse of the
Permanent Global Bearer Note attached hereto, interests in this Note may be
exchanged for interests in a permanent Global Bearer Note on and after such
redemption date as if such redemption date had been the Exchange Date, subject
to receipt of the certificates described in the preceding sentence. Upon
exchange of any portion of this Note for an interest in a Permanent Global
Bearer Note, the Principal Paying Agent shall cause Schedule A of this Note to
be endorsed to reflect the reduction of its principal amount by an amount equal
to the aggregate principal amount being so exchanged. Except as otherwise
provided herein, until exchanged for a Permanent Global Bearer Note, this Note
shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under the Indenture as a
duly authenticated and delivered Permanent Global Bearer Note.

     of Notes of which this Note forms a part, as part of an unsold allotment
     or subscription more than 40 days after the Closing Date for this Note,

                            DEBT WARRANT AGREEMENT2

     THIS AGREEMENT dated as of [         ] between J.P. MORGAN CHASE & CO., a
corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware
(the "Company"), and [_____________], a [bank] [trust company] duly
incorporated and existing under the laws of [Delaware], as Warrant Agent (the
"Warrant Agent"),

                             W I T N E S S E T H :

     WHEREAS, the Company has entered into an Indenture dated as of [      ],
2001 (the "Indenture") between the Company and Bankers Trust Company, as
Trustee (the "Trustee"), providing for the issuance from time to time of its
unsecured and unsubordinated debt securities to be issued in one or more series
as provided in the Indenture; and

     WHEREAS, the Company proposes to sell [[Title of any debt securities being
offered] (the "Offered Securities") with] one or more warrants (the "Warrants")
representing the right to purchase [title of debt securities purchasable
through exercise of Warrants] (the "Warrant Securities"), the Warrants to be
evidenced by warrant certificates issued pursuant to this Agreement (the
"Warrant Certificates"); and

     WHEREAS, the Company desires the Warrant Agent to act on behalf of the
Company in connection with the issuance, transfer, exchange, exercise and
replacement of the Warrant Certificates, and in this Agreement wishes to set
forth, among other things, the form[s] and provisions of the Warrant
Certificates and the terms and conditions on which they may be issued,
transferred, exchanged, exercised and replaced;

- --------
     2 Complete or modify the provisions of this form as appropriate to reflect
the terms of the Warrants and Warrant Securities and whether they are sold
attached to Offered Securities or alone. Monetary amounts may be in U.S.
dollars or in a foreign currency.

For Warrants sold attached to Offered Securities which are detachable bracketed
language here and throughout this Agreement should be inserted as follows:
     1.   If Warrants are immediately detachable from the Offered Securities;
          and
     2.   If Warrants are detachable from the Offered Securities only after the
          Detachable Date.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the mutual
agreements herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

                                   ARTICLE 1
           ISSUANCE OF WARRANTS [AND TEMPORARY GLOBAL SECURITY]3 AND
                 EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF WARRANT CERTIFICATES

     SECTION 1.01. Issuance of Warrants. The Warrants shall be evidenced by one
or more Warrant Certificates. Each Warrant evidenced thereby shall represent
the right, subject to the provisions contained herein and therein, to purchase
a Warrant Security in the principal amount of [______] [and shall be initially
issued in connection with the issuance of the Offered Securities]4 [1: and
shall be separately transferable immediately thereafter] [2: but shall not be
separately transferable until on and after [       ], 20[  ] (the "Detachable
Date")]5. The Warrants shall be initially issued [in units] with the Offered
Securities.]6

     SECTION 1.02. Execution and Delivery of Warrant Certificates. Each
Warrant, whenever issued, shall be evidenced by a Warrant Certificate in
registered form [or a global Warrant Certificate in bearer form (the "Global
Warrant Certificate")] [the form to be the same as that of the Warrant Security
in connection with which the Warrant Certificate is issued], substantially in
the form[s] set forth in Exhibit A [and Exhibit B, respectively,] hereto, shall
be dated [          ] and may have such letters, numbers or other marks of
identification or designation and such legends or endorsements printed,
lithographed or engraved thereon as the officers of the Company executing the
same may approve (execution thereof 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 or with any rule or regulation made pursuant thereto or
with any rule or regulation of any stock exchange on which the Warrants may be
listed, or to conform to usage. The Warrant Certificates shall be signed on
behalf of the Company by any of the chairman of its Board of Directors, its
president, any vice chairman of its Board of Directors, the chief financial
officer (or any other officer certified by any of the foregoing officers in an
Officers' Certificate to be an executive officer of the Issuer), in each case
under its corporate seal, which may but need not be, attested by its secretary
or one of its assistant secretaries [, except that the Global Warrant
Certificate may be executed by any such officer without any necessity that such
signature be under seal as aforesaid]. Such signatures may be manual or
facsimile signatures of such authorized officers and may be imprinted or
otherwise reproduced on the Warrant Certificates. The corporate seal of the
Company may be in the form of a facsimile thereof and may be impressed,
affixed, imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the Warrant Certificates.

     No Warrant Certificate shall be valid for any purpose, and no Warrant
evidenced thereby shall be exercisable, until such Warrant Certificate has been
countersigned by the Warrant Agent by manual signature. Such signature by the
Warrant Agent upon any Warrant Certificate executed by the Company shall be
conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that the Warrant Certificate so
countersigned has been duly issued hereunder.

     [The Global Warrant Certificate shall be and remain subject to the
provisions of this Agreement until such time as all of the Warrants evidenced
thereby shall have been duly exercised or shall have expired or been cancelled
in accordance with the terms thereof.]

     In case any officer of the Company who shall have signed any of the
Warrant Certificates either manually or by facsimile signature shall cease to
be such officer before the Warrant Certificates so signed shall have been
countersigned and delivered by the Warrant Agent as provided herein, such
Warrant Certificates may be countersigned and delivered notwithstanding that
the person who signed such Warrant Certificates ceased to be such officer of
the Company; and any Warrant Certificate may be signed on behalf of the Company
by such persons as, at the actual date of the execution of such 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 term "Holder", when used with respect to any Warrant Certificate [in
registered form], shall mean any person in whose name at the time such Warrant
Certificate shall be registered upon the books to be maintained by the Warrant
Agent for that purpose [[2: or, prior to the Detachable Date, any person in
whose


                                       3
<PAGE>


name at the time the Offered Security to which such Warrant Certificate is
attached is registered upon the register of the Offered Securities. Prior to
the Detachable Date, the Company will, or will cause the registrar of the
Offered Securities to, make available at all times to the Warrant Agent such
information as to holders of the Offered Securities with Warrants as may be
necessary to keep the Warrant Agent's records up to date]]7.

     [The term "Holder", when used with respect to the Global Warrant
Certificate, shall mean [2:, prior to the Detachable Date, the bearer of the
Temporary Global Security (as defined in Section 1.04) evidencing the Offered
Securities to which the Warrants evidenced by the Global Warrant Certificate
were initially attached and, after the Detachable Date, the bearer of the
Global Warrant Certificate.]8 [the bearer thereof.]9

     SECTION 1.03. Issuance of Warrant Certificates. Warrant Certificates
evidencing the right to purchase an aggregate principal amount not exceeding
[         ] aggregate principal amount of Warrant Securities (except as provided
in Sections 2.03, 3.02 and 4.01) may be executed by the Company and delivered
to the Warrant Agent upon the execution of this Warrant Agreement or from time
to time thereafter. The Warrant Agent shall, upon receipt of Warrant
Certificates duly executed on behalf of the Company, countersign Warrant
Certificates evidencing [      ] Warrants representing the right to purchase up
to [       ] aggregate principal amount of Warrant Securities and shall[, in the
case of Warrant Certificates in registered form,] deliver such Warrant
Certificates to or upon the order of the Company [and, in the case of the
Global Warrant Certificate, upon the order of the Company, deposit the Global
Warrant Certificate with [     ], as common depositary (the "Common Depositary")
for Euroclear Bank, as operator of the Euroclear System (the "Euroclear
Operator"), and for Clearstream Banking S.A. ("Clearstream") for credit to the
accounts of persons appearing from time to time on the records of the Euroclear
Operator or of

Clearstream as being entitled to any portion thereof. [2: The Temporary Global
Security, as defined in Section 1.04, will at the same time be deposited with
the Common Depositary.]10 The Global Warrant Certificate shall be held by the
Common Depositary outside the United Kingdom.] Subsequent to such original
issuance of the Warrant Certificates, the Warrant Agent shall countersign a
Warrant Certificate only if the Warrant Certificate is issued in exchange or
substitution for one or more previously countersigned Warrant Certificates or
[, with respect to Warrant Certificates in registered form, in connection with
their transfer as hereinafter provided or as provided in the antepenultimate
paragraph of Section 2.03].

     Pending the preparation of definitive Warrant Certificates [in registered
form] evidencing Warrants, the Company may execute and the Warrant Agent shall
countersign and deliver temporary Warrant Certificates [in registered form]
evidencing such Warrants (printed, lithographed, typewritten or otherwise
produced, in each case in form satisfactory to the Warrant Agent). Such
temporary Warrant Certificates shall be issuable substantially in the form of
the definitive Warrant Certificates [in registered form] but with such
omissions, insertions and variations as may be appropriate for temporary
Warrant Certificates, all as may be determined by the Company with the
concurrence of the Warrant Agent. Such temporary Warrant Certificates may
contain such reference to any provisions of this Warrant Agreement as may be
appropriate. Every such temporary Warrant Certificate shall be executed by the
Company and shall be countersigned by the Warrant Agent upon the same
conditions and in substantially the same manner, and with like effect, as the
definitive Warrant Certificates [in registered form]. Without unreasonable
delay, the Company shall execute and shall furnish definitive Warrant
Certificates [in registered form] and thereupon such temporary Warrant
Certificates may be surrendered in exchange therefor without charge pursuant to
and subject to the provisions of Section 4.01, and the Warrant Agent shall
countersign and deliver in exchange for such temporary Warrant Certificates
definitive Warrant Certificates [in registered form] of authorized
denominations evidencing a like aggregate number of Warrants evidenced by such
temporary Warrant Certificates. Until so exchanged, such temporary Warrant
Certificates shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Warrant
Agreement as definitive Warrant Certificates [in registered form].

each Offered Security to be issued with Warrants evidenced by the Global
Warrant Certificate shall, whenever issued, be evidenced by a single temporary
Global Offered Security in bearer form without interest coupons (the "Temporary
Global Security") to be issued by the Company as provided in the Indenture.]11

30-day months]. Such exercise price of Warrant Securities is referred to in
this Agreement as the "Warrant Price". [The original issue discount for each
principal amount of Warrant Securities is [      ]].

may be designated by the Company) and shall advise the Company, by telephone or
by facsimile transmission or other form of electronic communication available

Warrants are to be exercised shall be a Saturday or Sunday or a day on which
banking institutions in such city are authorized or required to be closed,

Certificate evidencing such Warrants, but subject to the limitation that no

Sunday or a day on which banking institutions in such city are authorized or
required to be closed.

Warrant Certificates. No Warrant Certificate or Warrant evidenced thereby shall
entitle the Holder or any beneficial owner thereof to any of the rights of a

Upon receipt by the Warrant Agent of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it and
the Company of the ownership of and the loss, mutilation, theft or destruction
of any Warrant Certificate and of such security or indemnity as may be required
by the Company and the Warrant Agent to hold each of them and any agent of them
harmless and, in the case of mutilation of a Warrant Certificate, upon
surrender thereof to the Warrant Agent for cancellation, then, in the absence
of notice to the Company or the Warrant Agent that such Warrant Certificate has
been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute, and an
authorized officer of the Warrant Agent shall manually countersign and deliver,
in exchange for or in lieu of the lost, mutilated, stolen or destroyed Warrant
Certificate, a new Warrant Certificate of the same tenor and evidencing a like
number of Warrants[; provided, however, that any Global Warrant Certificate
shall be so delivered only to the Common Depositary.] Upon the issuance of any
new Warrant Certificate under this Section, the Company may require the payment
of a sum sufficient to cover any stamp or other tax or other governmental
charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses
(including the fees and expenses of the Warrant Agent) in connection therewith.
Every substitute Warrant Certificate executed and delivered pursuant to this
Section in lieu of any lost, mutilated, stolen or destroyed Warrant Certificate
shall represent an additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or
not the lost, stolen or destroyed Warrant Certificate shall be at any time
enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement
equally and proportionately with any and all other Warrant Certificates duly
executed and delivered hereunder. The provisions of this Section are exclusive
and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with
respect to the replacement of lost, mutilated, stolen or destroyed Warrant
Certificates.

     SECTION 3.03. Enforcement of Rights. Notwithstanding any of the provisions
of this Agreement, any Holder of a Warrant Certificate [in registered form or
the beneficial owner of any Warrant evidenced by the Global Warrant
Certificate], without the consent of [the Common Depositary,] the Warrant
Agent, the Trustee, the holder of any Offered Securities or the Holder of any
other Warrant Certificate, may, in its own behalf and for its own benefit,
enforce, and may institute and maintain any suit, action or proceeding against
the Company suitable to enforce, or otherwise in respect of, its right to
exercise its Warrants in the manner provided in its Warrant Certificate [or the
Global Warrant Certificate, as the case may be,] and in this Agreement.
[Neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent shall be required to treat any
person as a beneficial owner of any Warrant evidenced by the Global Warrant
Certificate unless such person is so certified as such a beneficial owner by
the Euroclear Operator or Clearstream.]

     SECTION 3.04. Merger, Consolidation, Conveyance or Transfer. (a) If at any
time the Company merges or consolidates with any other person or sells or
conveys all or substantially all of its assets to any other person as permitted
under the Indenture, then in any such event the successor or assuming
corporation referred to therein shall succeed to and be substituted for the
Company, with the same effect, subject to the Indenture, as if it had been
named herein and in the Warrant Certificates as the Company; the Company shall
thereupon, except in the case of a transfer by way of lease, be relieved of any
further obligation hereunder and under the Warrants and the Warrant
Certificates, and the Company as the predecessor corporation, except in the
case of a transfer by way of lease, may thereupon or at any time thereafter be
dissolved, wound up or liquidated. Such successor or assuming corporation may
thereupon cause to be signed, and may issue either in its own name or in the
name of the Company, Warrant Certificates evidencing any or all of the Warrants
issuable hereunder which theretofore shall not have been signed by the Company,
and may execute and deliver Warrant Securities in its own name pursuant to the
Indenture, in fulfillment of its obligations to deliver Warrant Securities upon
exercise of the Warrants. All the Warrants so issued shall in all respects have
the same legal rank and benefit under this Agreement as the Warrants
theretofore or thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this Agreement
as though all of such Warrants had been issued at the date of the execution
hereof. In any case of any such merger, consolidation, conveyance or transfer,
such changes in phraseology and form (but not in substance) may be made in the
Warrant Certificates representing the Warrants thereafter to be issued as may
be appropriate.

     (b) The Warrant Agent may receive a written opinion of legal counsel (who
shall be acceptable to the Warrant Agent) as conclusive evidence that any such
merger, consolidation, conveyance or transfer complies with the provisions of
this Section and the Indenture.

                             EXCHANGE AND TRANSFER

     SECTION 4.01. Exchange and Transfer. (a) [[1: Upon] [2: Prior to the
Detachable Date, a Warrant Certificate [in registered form] may be exchanged or
transferred only together with the Offered Security to which such Warrant
Certificate was initially attached, and only for the purpose of effecting, or
in conjunction with, an exchange or transfer of such Offered Security. Prior to
the Detachable Date, the transfer of the beneficial ownership of any Warrant
evidenced by the Global Warrant Certificate shall effect and shall be deemed to
effect the transfer of the beneficial ownership of any Offered Securities
evidenced


                                      13
<PAGE>


by the Temporary Global Security that are attached to such Warrants. Prior to
any Detachable Date, each transfer of the Offered Security [on the register
maintained with respect to the Offered Securities, in the case of an Offered
Security that is in registered form], shall operate also to transfer the
related Warrant Certificates. Similarly, prior to the Detachable Date, the
transfer of the beneficial ownership of any Offered Security evidenced by the
Temporary Global Security shall be deemed to be the transfer of the beneficial
ownership of any Warrants evidenced by the Global Warrant Certificate that are
attached to such Offered Securities. The transfer of the beneficial ownership
of Warrants and Warrant Securities hereunder shall be effected only as provided
in Section 4.01. On or after the Detachable Date, upon]]21 [Upon]22 surrender
at the corporate trust office of the Warrant Agent at [address] [or        ],
Warrant Certificates [in registered form] evidencing Warrants may be exchanged
for Warrant Certificates [in registered form] in other authorized denominations
evidencing such Warrants or the transfer thereof may be registered in whole or
in part; provided, however, that such other Warrant Certificates shall evidence
the same aggregate number of Warrants as the Warrant Certificates so
surrendered.

     (b) The Warrant Agent shall keep, at its corporate trust office at
[_____________], books in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it
may prescribe, it shall register Warrant Certificates [in registered form] and
exchanges and transfers of outstanding Warrant Certificates [in registered
form] upon surrender of such Warrant Certificates to the Warrant Agent at its
corporate trust office at [______________] for exchange or registration of
transfer, properly endorsed [or accompanied by appropriate instruments of
registration of transfer and written instructions for transfer, all in form
satisfactory to the Company and the Warrant Agent.]

     (c) No service charge shall be made for any exchange or registration of
transfer of Warrant Certificates [in registered form], 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.

     (d) Whenever any Warrant Certificates [in registered form], are so
surrendered for exchange or registration of transfer, an authorized officer of
the Warrant Agent shall manually countersign and deliver to the person or
persons entitled thereto a Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates [in
registered form], duly authorized and executed by the Company, as so requested.
The Warrant Agent shall not effect any exchange or registration of transfer
which will result in the issuance of a Warrant Certificate [in registered
form], evidencing a fraction of a Warrant or a number of full Warrants and a
fraction of a Warrant.

     (e) All Warrant Certificates [in registered form], issued upon any
exchange or registration of transfer of Warrant Certificates shall be the valid
obligations of the Company, evidencing the same obligations, and entitled to
the same benefits under this Agreement, as the Warrant Certificates surrendered
for such exchange or registration or transfer.

     SECTION 4.02. Treatment of Holders of Warrant Certificates. [With respect
to the Global Warrant Certificate, the Holder thereof may be treated by the
Company, the Warrant Agent and all other persons dealing with such Holder as
the absolute owner thereof for any purpose and as the person entitled to
exercise the rights represented by the Warrants evidenced thereby, any notice
to the contrary notwithstanding.] [Each] [With respect to Warrant Certificates
in registered form, each] Holder of a Warrant Certificate, by accepting the
same, consents and agrees with the Company, the Warrant Agent and every
subsequent Holder of such Warrant Certificate that until the transfer of such
Warrant Certificate is registered on the books of such Warrant Agent [[2: or,
prior to the Detachable Date, until the transfer of the Offered Security to
which such Warrant Certificate is attached, is registered in the register of
the Offered Securities]]23, the Company and the Warrant Agent may treat the
registered Holder of such Warrant Certificate as the absolute owner thereof for
any purpose and as the person entitled to exercise the rights represented by
the Warrants evidenced thereby, any notice to the contrary notwithstanding.

     SECTION 4.03. Cancellation of Warrant Certificates. (a) Any Warrant
Certificate surrendered for exchange or registration of transfer or exercise of
the

Warrants evidenced thereby shall, if surrendered to the Company, be delivered
to the Warrant Agent, and all Warrant Certificates surrendered or so delivered
to the Warrant Agent shall be promptly cancelled by the Warrant Agent and shall
not be reissued and, except as expressly permitted by this Agreement, no
Warrant Certificate shall be issued hereunder in exchange therefor or in lieu
thereof. The Warrant Agent shall cause all cancelled Warrant Certificates to be
destroyed and shall deliver a certificate of such destruction to the Company.

     (b) If the Company notifies the Trustee of its election to redeem [[2:
prior to the Detachable Date]]24 [, as a whole but not in part,] [[2: the
Offered Securities [or] [and]]]25 the Warrant Securities pursuant to the
Indenture or the terms thereof, the Company may elect, and shall give notice to
the Warrant Agent of its election, to cancel the unexercised Warrants, the
Warrant Certificates and the rights evidenced thereby. Promptly after receipt
of such notice by the Warrant Agent, the Company shall, or, at the Company's
request, the Warrant Agent shall in the name of and at the expense of the
Company, give notice of such cancellation to the Holders of the Warrant
Certificates [in registered form and to the beneficial owners of the Global
Warrant Certificate (except that such notice shall be required to be published
only once)], such notice to be so given not less than 30 nor more than 60 days
prior to the date fixed for the redemption of [[2: the Offered Securities [or]
[and]]]26 the Warrant Securities pursuant to the Indenture or the terms
thereof. The unexercised Warrants, the Warrant Certificates and the rights
evidenced thereby shall be cancelled and become void on the 15th day prior to
such date fixed for redemption.

                          CONCERNING THE WARRANT AGENT

     SECTION 5.01. Warrant Agent. The Company hereby appoints
[_____________________] as Warrant Agent of the Company in respect of the
Warrants and the Warrant Certificates upon the terms and subject to the
conditions herein and in the Warrant Certificates set forth; and
[_____________________] hereby accepts such appointment. The Warrant Agent
shall have the powers and authority granted to and conferred upon it in the
Warrant Certificates and herein and such further powers and authority to act on
behalf of the Company as the Company may hereafter grant to or confer upon it.
All of the terms and provisions with respect to such powers and authority
contained in the Warrant Certificates are subject to and governed by the terms
and provisions hereof.

     SECTION 5.02. Conditions of Warrant Agent's Obligations. The Warrant Agent
accepts its obligations herein set forth upon the terms and conditions hereof,
including the following, to all of which the Company agrees and to all of which
the rights hereunder of the Holders from time to time of the Warrant
Certificates shall be subject:

          (a) Compensation and Indemnification. The Company agrees promptly to
     pay the Warrant Agent the compensation to be agreed upon with the Company
     for all services rendered by the Warrant Agent and to reimburse the
     Warrant Agent for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable
     attorneys' fees) incurred by the Warrant Agent without negligence, bad
     faith or breach of this Agreement on its part in connection with the
     services rendered hereunder by the Warrant Agent. The Company also agrees
     to indemnify the Warrant Agent for, and to hold it harmless against, any
     loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence or bad faith on the
     part of the Warrant Agent, arising out of or in connection with its acting
     as Warrant Agent hereunder, as well as the reasonable costs and expenses
     of defending against any claim of such liability.

          (b) Agent for the Company. In acting under this Agreement and in
     connection with the Warrants and the Warrant Certificates, the Warrant
     Agent is acting solely as agent of the Company and does not assume any
     obligation or relationship of agency or trust for or with any of the
     Holders of Warrant Certificates or beneficial owners of Warrants.

          (c) Counsel. The Warrant Agent may consult with counsel satisfactory
     to it in its reasonable judgment, and the advice of such counsel


                                       17
<PAGE>


     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 of such counsel.

          (d) Documents. The Warrant Agent shall be protected and shall incur
     no liability for or in respect of any action taken or thing suffered by it
     in reliance upon any Warrant Certificate, notice, direction, consent,
     certificate, affidavit, statement or other paper or document reasonably
     believed by it to be genuine and to have been presented or signed by the
     proper parties.

          (e) Certain Transactions. The Warrant Agent, and its officers,
     directors and employees, may become the owner of, or acquire any interest
     in, Warrants, with the same rights that it or they would have if it were
     not the Warrant Agent hereunder, and, to the extent permitted by
     applicable law, it or they may engage or be interested in any financial or
     other transaction with the Company and may act on, or as depositary,
     trustee or agent for, any committee or body of holders of Warrant
     Securities or other obligations of the Company as freely as if it were not
     the Warrant Agent hereunder. Nothing in this Warrant Agreement shall be
     deemed to prevent the Warrant Agent from acting as Trustee under the
     Indenture.

          (f) No Liability for Interest. The Warrant Agent shall have no
     liability for interest on any monies at any time received by it pursuant
     to any of the provisions of this Agreement or of the Warrant Certificates.

          (g) No Liability for Invalidity. The Warrant Agent shall not be under
     any responsibility with respect to the validity or sufficiency of this
     Agreement or the execution and delivery hereof (except the due
     authorization to execute this Agreement and the due execution and delivery
     hereof by the Warrant Agent) or with respect to the validity or execution
     of any Warrant Certificates (except its countersignature thereof).

          (h) No Liability for Recitals. The recitals contained herein shall be
     taken as the statements of the Company and the Warrant Agent assumes no
     liability for the correctness of the same.

          (i) No Implied Obligations. The Warrant Agent shall be obligated to
     perform only such duties as are herein and in the Warrant Certificates
     specifically set forth and no implied duties or obligations shall be read
     into this Agreement or the Warrant Certificates against the Warrant Agent.
     The Warrant Agent shall not be under any obligation to take any action
     hereunder which may tend to involve it in any expense or


                                       18
<PAGE>


     liability, the payment of which within a reasonable time is not, in its
     reasonable opinion, assured to it. The Warrant Agent shall not be
     accountable or under any duty or responsibility for the use by the Company
     of any of the Warrant Certificates countersigned by the Warrant Agent and
     delivered by it to the Company pursuant to this Agreement or for the
     application by the Company of the proceeds of the Warrant Certificates.
     The Warrant Agent shall have no duty or responsibility in case of any
     default by the Company in the performance of its covenants or agreements
     contained herein or in the Warrant Certificates or in the case of the
     receipt of any written demand from a Holder of a Warrant Certificate with
     respect to such default, including, without limiting the generality of the
     foregoing, any duty or responsibility to initiate or attempt to initiate
     any proceedings at law or otherwise or, except as provided in Section
     6.02, to make any demand upon the Company.

     SECTION 5.03. Resignation and Appointment of Successor. (a) The Company
agrees, for the benefit of the Holders from time to time of the Warrant
Certificates, that there shall at all times be a Warrant Agent hereunder until
all the Warrants have been exercised or are no longer exercisable.

     (b) The Warrant Agent may at any time resign as such by giving written
notice of its resignation to the Company, specifying the desired date on which
its resignation shall become effective; provided, however, that such date shall
be not less than 90 days after the date on which such notice is given unless
the Company agrees to accept shorter notice. Upon receiving such notice of
resignation, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor Warrant Agent
(which shall be a bank or trust company in good standing, authorized under the
laws of the jurisdiction of its organization to exercise corporate trust
powers) by written instrument in duplicate signed on behalf of the Company, one
copy of which shall be delivered to the resigning Warrant Agent and one copy to
the successor Warrant Agent. The Company may, at any time and for any reason,
remove the Warrant Agent and appoint a successor Warrant Agent (qualified as
aforesaid) by written instrument in duplicate signed on behalf of the Company
and specifying such removal and the date when it is intended to become
effective, one copy of which shall be delivered to the Warrant Agent being
removed and one copy to the successor Warrant Agent. Any resignation or removal
of the Warrant Agent and any appointment of a successor Warrant Agent shall
become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor Warrant Agent
as provided in this subsection (b). In the event a successor Warrant Agent has
not been appointed and accepted its duties within 90 days of the Warrant
Agent's notice of resignation, the Warrant Agent may apply to any court of
competent jurisdiction for the designation of a successor Warrant Agent. Upon
its resignation or removal, the Warrant Agent shall be entitled to the payment
by the Company of


                                       19
<PAGE>


the compensation and to the reimbursement of all reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by it hereunder as
agreed to in Section 5.02(a).

     (c) The Company shall remove the Warrant Agent and appoint a successor
Warrant Agent if the Warrant Agent (i) shall become incapable of acting, (ii)
shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, (iii) shall commence a voluntary case
or other proceeding seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief with
respect to it or its debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar
law now or hereafter in effect or seeking the appointment of a trustee,
receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official of it or any
substantial part of its property, (iv) shall consent to, or shall have had
entered against it a court order for, any such relief or to the appointment of
or taking possession by any such official in any involuntary case or other
proceedings commenced against it, (v) shall make a general assignment for the
benefit of creditors or (vi) shall fail generally to pay its debts as they
become due. Upon the appointment as aforesaid of a successor Warrant Agent and
acceptance by it of such appointment, the predecessor Warrant Agent shall, if
not previously disqualified by operation of law, cease to be Warrant Agent
hereunder.

     (d) Any successor Warrant Agent appointed hereunder shall execute,
acknowledge and deliver to its predecessor and the Company an instrument
accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon such successor Warrant
Agent, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with
all the authority, rights, powers, immunities, duties and obligations of such
predecessor with like effect as if originally named as Warrant Agent hereunder,
and such predecessor shall thereupon become obligated to transfer, deliver and
pay over, and such successor Warrant Agent shall be entitled to receive, all
monies, securities and other property on deposit with or held by such
predecessor as Warrant Agent hereunder.

     (e) Any corporation into which the Warrant Agent hereunder may be merged
or converted or any corporation with which the Warrant Agent may be
consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or
consolidation to which the Warrant Agent shall be a party, or any corporation
to which the Warrant Agent shall sell or otherwise transfer all or
substantially all the assets and business of the Warrant Agent, provided that
it shall be qualified as aforesaid, shall be the successor Warrant Agent under
this Agreement without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act
on the part of any of the parties hereto.

                                 MISCELLANEOUS

     SECTION 6.01. Amendment. (a) This Agreement and the terms of the Warrants
and the Warrant Certificates may be amended by the parties hereto, without the
consent of the Holder of any Warrant Certificate or the beneficial owner of any
Warrant, for the purpose of curing any ambiguity, or of curing, correcting or
supplementing any defective or inconsistent provision contained herein or in
the Warrant Certificates, or making any other provisions with respect to
matters or questions arising under this Agreement as the Company and the
Warrant Agent may deem necessary or desirable, provided that such action shall
not affect adversely the interests of the Holders of the Warrant Certificates
or the beneficial owners of Warrants in any material respect.

     (b) The Company and the Warrant Agent may modify or amend this Agreement
(by means of an agreement supplemental hereto or otherwise) with the consent of
Warrantholders holding not less than a majority in number of the then
outstanding Warrants of all series affected by such modification or amendment,
for any purpose; provided, however, that no such modification or amendment that
changes the exercise price of the Warrants of any series, reduces the amount
receivable upon exercise, cancellation or expiration of the Warrants other than
in accordance with the antidilution provisions or other similar adjustment
provisions included in the terms of the Warrants, shortens the period of time
during which the Warrants of such series may be exercised, or otherwise
materially and adversely affects the exercise rights of the affected
Warrantholders or reduces the percentage of the number of outstanding Warrants
of such series, the consent of whose holders is required for modification or
amendment of this Agreement, may be made without the consent of each
Warrantholder affected thereby. In the case of Warrants evidenced by one or
more Global Warrant Certificates, the Company and the Warrant Agent shall be
entitled to rely upon certification in form satisfactory to each of them that
any requisite consent has been obtained from holders of beneficial ownership
interests in the relevant Global Warrant Certificate. Such certification may be
provided by participants of the Depositary acting on behalf of such beneficial
owners of Warrants, provided that any such certification is accompanied by a
certification from the Depositary as to the Warrant holdings of such
participants.

     SECTION 6.02. Notices and Demands to the Company and Warrant Agent. If the
Warrant Agent shall receive any notice or demand addressed to the Company by
the Holder of a Warrant Certificate pursuant to the provisions of the Warrant
Certificates, the Warrant Agent shall promptly forward such notice or demand to
the Company.

     SECTION 6.04. Applicable Law. The validity, interpretation and performance
of this Agreement and each Warrant Certificate issued hereunder and of the
respective terms and provisions hereof and thereof shall be governed by, and
construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

     SECTION 6.05. Delivery of Prospectus. The Company will furnish to the
Warrant Agent sufficient copies of a prospectus relating to the Warrant
Securities deliverable upon exercise of Warrants (the "Prospectus"), and the
Warrant Agent agrees that upon the exercise of any Warrant, the Warrant Agent
will deliver to the Holder of the Warrant Certificate evidencing such Warrant,
prior to or concurrently with the delivery of the Warrant Securities issued
upon such exercise, a Prospectus. The Warrant Agent shall not, by reason of any
such delivery, assume any responsibility for the accuracy or adequacy of such
Prospectus.

     SECTION 6.06. Obtaining of Governmental Approval. The Company will from
time to time take all action which may be necessary to obtain and keep
effective any and all permits, consents and approvals of governmental agencies
and authorities and securities acts filings under United States federal and
state laws (including without limitation a registration statement in respect of
the Warrants and Warrant Securities under the Securities Act of 1933), which
may be or become requisite in connection with the issuance, sale, transfer and
delivery of the Warrant Certificates, the exercise of the Warrants, the
issuance, sale, transfer and delivery of the Warrant Securities issued upon
exercise of the Warrants or upon the expiration of the period during which the
Warrants are exercisable.

     SECTION 6.07. Persons Having Rights under Warrant Agreement. [Except as
otherwise provided in Section 3.03, nothing] [Nothing] in this Agreement shall
give to any person other than the Company, the Warrant Agent and the Holders of
the Warrant Certificates any right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this
Agreement.

     SECTION 6.08. Headings. The descriptive headings of the several Articles
and Sections of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not
control or affect the meaning or construction of any of the provisions hereof.

     SECTION 6.09. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number
of counterparts, each of which as so executed shall be deemed to be an
original, but such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same
instrument.

     SECTION 6.10. Inspection of Agreement. A copy of this Agreement shall be
available at all reasonable times at the principal corporate trust office of
the Warrant Agent for inspection by the Holder of any Warrant Certificate. The
Warrant Agent may require such Holder to submit his Warrant Certificate for

Warrants evidenced by Warrant Certificates [in registered form] which by any
provisions of this Warrant Agreement is required or permitted to be given shall
be given by first class mail prepaid at such Holder's address as it appears on
the books of the Warrant Agent. [Any notice to beneficial owners of Warrants
evidenced by the Global Warrant Certificate which by any provisions of this

                           (the "Warrant Securities")

Dear Sirs:

     We hereby irrevocably elect to exercise __________ Warrants to purchase

the last day on which Warrants may be exercised under the Debt Warrant
Agreement, prior to [time] in [location] on the Exercise Date, [in lawful money

___________ for said amount.

     The undersigned hereby certifies that as of the date hereof, the Warrant
Securities which are to be delivered in bearer form are not being acquired,
directly or indirectly, by or on behalf of a United States person or for offer
to resell or for resale to a United States person or any person inside the
United States (as defined below) or, if a beneficial interest in such Warrant
Securities is being acquired by or on behalf of a United States person, that
such United States person is either a financial institution within the meaning
of Section 1.165-12(c)(1)(v) of the United States Treasury regulations or is
acquiring such beneficial interest through such financial institution and that
such beneficial interest is held by a financial institution which agrees to
comply with the requirements of Section 165(j)(3)(A), (B) or (C) of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations thereunder and
which is not purchasing for offer to resell or for resale inside the United
States. If the undersigned is a dealer, the undersigned agrees to obtain a
similar certificate from each person entitled to delivery of any Warrant
Securities in bearer form purchased from it; provided, however, that if the
undersigned has actual knowledge that the information contained in such a
certificate is false, the undersigned will not deliver a Warrant Security in
temporary or definitive bearer form to the person who signed such certificate
notwithstanding the delivery of such certificate to the undersigned. The
undersigned will be deemed to have actual knowledge if, inter alia, the
undersigned has a United States address for the beneficial owner of such
Warrant Security (other than a financial institution as defined in Section
1.165-12(c)(1)(v) that represents that it will comply with the requirements of
Section 165(j)(3)(A), (B) or (C) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended, and the regulations thereunder), unless the undersigned has
documentary evidence (as described in A-5 of Section 35a.9999-4T of the
regulations promulgated under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended)
that the beneficial owner of such Warrant Security is not a United States
person. If this certificate is being provided by a clearing organization, it is
based on statements provided to it by its member organizations. As used herein,
a "clearing organization" is an entity which is in the business of holding
obligations for member organizations and transferring obligations among such
members by credit


                                      D-2

or debit to the account of a member without the necessity of physical delivery
of the obligation.

     We undertake to advise you immediately by telex if the foregoing statement
as to beneficial ownership is not correct on or before the date of delivery of
such Warrant Securities as to the entire principal amount of the Warrant
Securities to be issuable upon exercise [then appearing on your books as being
held for our account].

     We understand that this certificate is required in connection with certain
tax regulations in the United States. If administrative or legal proceedings
are commenced or threatened in connection with which this certificate is or
would be relevant, we irrevocably authorize you to produce this certificate or
a copy thereof to any interested party in such proceedings. "United States
person" means any citizen, national or resident of the United States or any

regardless of its source. "United States" means the United States of America,
its territories and possessions and areas subject to its jurisdiction and the

beneficial holder of a Warrant (each a "Warrantholder") be entitled to receive
any interest


<PAGE>


on any Cash Settlement Value or Alternative Settlement Amount. The Warrants
will not entitle the Warrantholders to any of the rights of the holder of any
security underlying the Index (an "Underlying Security") [alternative provision
for indices not based on securities]. A Warrant will not require or entitle the
Warrantholder thereof to sell, deliver, purchase or take delivery of any
Underlying Security [alternative provision for indices not based on
securities], nor will the Company be under any obligation to, nor will it,
purchase or take delivery of, or sell or deliver, any such securities to or
from Warrantholders.

     SECTION 1.02. Form, Execution and Delivery of Warrant Certificates. (a)
The Warrants, whenever issued, shall be represented by certificates in
registered form substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto (the
"Warrant Certificates"), with such appropriate insertions, omissions,
substitutions and other variations as are required or permitted by this
Agreement, and may represent any whole number of Warrants. The Warrant
Certificates may have imprinted or otherwise reproduced thereon such letters,
numbers or other marks of identification or designation and such legends or
endorsements as the officers of the Company executing the same may approve
(execution thereof to be conclusive evidence of such approval) and which are
not inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, 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 Warrants may be
listed, or of any securities depository, or to conform to usage. Warrant
Certificates shall be signed on behalf of the Company by any of the chairman of
its Board of Directors, its president, any vice chairman of its Board of
Directors or the chief financial officer (or any other officer certified by any
of the foregoing officers in an Officers' Certificate to be an executive
officer of the Issuer), in each case under its corporate seal which may, but
need not be attested by its secretary or one or more of its assistant
secretaries [except that the Global Warrant Certificate may be executed by any
such officer without any necessity that such signature be under seal as
aforesaid]. The signature of any of such officers may be either manual or
facsimile. Typographical and other minor errors or defects in any such
signature shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any Warrant
Certificate that has been duly countersigned and delivered by the Warrant
Agent.

     (b) In case any officer of the Company who shall have signed a Warrant
Certificate, either manually or by facsimile signature, shall cease to be such
officer before such Warrant Certificate shall have been countersigned and
delivered by the Warrant Agent to the Company or delivered by the Company, such
Warrant Certificate nevertheless may be countersigned and delivered as though
the person who signed such Warrant Certificate had not ceased to be such
officer of the Company; and the Warrant Certificate may be signed on behalf of
the Company by any person who, at the actual date of the execution of such


                                       2
<PAGE>


Warrant Certificate, shall be a proper officer of the Company to sign such
Warrant Certificate, although at the date of the execution of this Warrant
Agreement any such person was not such officer.

     SECTION 1.03. Warrant Certificates. Each Warrant Certificate, when
executed on behalf of the Company in accordance with Section 1.02, shall be
delivered to the Warrant Agent, which shall manually countersign and deliver
the same to or upon the order of the Company. Each Warrant Certificate shall be
dated the date of its countersignature. A Warrant Certificate shall not be
valid for any purpose, and no Warrant evidenced thereby shall be exercisable,
unless and until such Warrant Certificate has been countersigned by the manual
signature of an authorized officer of the Warrant Agent. Such countersignature
by an authorized officer of the Warrant Agent upon any Warrant Certificate
signed by the Company in accordance with Section 1.02 shall be conclusive
evidence that the Warrant Certificate so countersigned has been duly issued
hereunder.

     SECTION 1.04. Registration of Transfers and Exchange. (a) Except as
otherwise provided herein or in the Warrant Certificate, the Warrant Agent
shall from time to time register the transfer of any outstanding Warrant
Certificates upon the records to be maintained by it for that purpose (the
"Warrant Register") at the Warrant Agent's Office (as defined herein), subject
to such reasonable regulations as the Company or the Warrant Agent may
prescribe, upon surrender thereof, duly endorsed, or accompanied by a written
instrument or instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Warrant Agent
and the Company, duly executed by the registered holder(s) thereof or by the
duly appointed legal representative thereof or by a duly authorized attorney,
such signature to be guaranteed by a bank or trust company with a correspondent
office in The City of New York or by a broker or dealer which is a member of
the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (the "NASD") or by a
member of a national securities exchange. Upon any such registration of
transfer, a new Warrant Certificate shall be issued to the transferee(s) and
the surrendered Warrant Certificate shall be canceled by the Warrant Agent.

     (b) At the option of a Warrantholder, Warrant Certificates may be
exchanged for other Warrant Certificates, representing a like number of
Warrants, upon surrender to the Warrant Agent of the Warrant Certificates to be
exchanged at its offices maintained for such purpose (the location of which
shall be provided to the Company), which shall be in the Borough of Manhattan,
The City of New York (the "Warrant Agent's Office"), and which is, on the date
of this Agreement, [_____________________], Attention: [__________], or at the
office of any successor Warrant Agent (as provided in Section 5.03). Upon
surrender of any Warrant Certificate for exchange, the Warrant Agent shall
cancel such Warrant Certificate, and the Company shall execute, and the Warrant
Agent shall


                                       3
<PAGE>


countersign and deliver, in accordance with Sections 1.02 and 1.03, one or more
new Warrant Certificates of like tenor and representing a like number of
unexercised Warrants.

     (c) Warrant Certificates issued upon transfer or exchange pursuant to
Section 1.04(a) or (b) shall be valid obligations of the Company, evidencing
the same obligations of the Company as the Warrant Certificates surrendered for
transfer or exchange, and entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement as
were such Warrant Certificates prior to such surrender.

     (d) Except as provided in Section 1.05, no service charge shall be made
for any registration of transfer or exchange of Warrant Certificates, 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 Warrant Certificates, other than exchanges pursuant to
this Section 1.04 not involving any transfer.

     (e) In the event that upon any exercise of Warrants evidenced by a Warrant
Certificate the number of Warrants exercised shall be less than the total
number of Warrants evidenced by such Warrant Certificate, there shall be issued
to the holder thereof or his assignee a new Warrant Certificate evidencing the
number of Warrants not exercised.

     SECTION 1.05. Mutilated or Missing Warrant Certificates. (a) If any
Warrant Certificate is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company may in
its discretion execute, and the Warrant Agent may countersign and deliver, in
exchange and substitution for the mutilated Warrant Certificate, or in
replacement for the Warrant Certificate lost, stolen or destroyed, a new
Warrant Certificate of like tenor and representing an equivalent number of
Warrants, bearing an identification number not contemporaneously outstanding,
but only (in case of loss, theft or destruction) upon receipt of evidence
satisfactory to the Company and the Warrant Agent of such loss, theft or
destruction of such Warrant Certificate and security or indemnity, if
requested, also satisfactory to them. Applicants for such substitute Warrant
Certificates shall also comply with such other reasonable regulations and pay
such other reasonable charges as the Company or the Warrant Agent may
prescribe.

     (b) In case any such mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed Warrant
Certificate has been or is about to be exercised, or deemed to be exercised,
the Company in its absolute discretion may, instead of issuing a new Warrant
Certificate, direct the Warrant Agent to treat the same as if it had received
the Warrant Certificate together with an irrevocable Exercise Notice (as
defined


                                       4
<PAGE>


herein) in proper form in respect thereof, as provided herein, or as being
subject to automatic exercise, as the case may be.

     (c) Each new Warrant Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 1.05 in
lieu of any lost, stolen or destroyed Warrant Certificate shall be an original,
additional contractual obligation of the Company, and shall be entitled to the
same benefits under this Agreement as the Warrant Certificate that was lost,
stolen or destroyed.

     (d) Upon the issuance of any new Warrant Certificate in accordance with
this Section 1.05, 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 Warrant
Agent) connected therewith.

     (e) The provisions of this Section 1.05 are exclusive and shall preclude
(to the extent lawful) any other rights and remedies with respect to the
replacement or payment of mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed Warrant
Certificates.

     SECTION 1.06. Registered Holders. Prior to due presentment for
registration of transfer, the Company, the Warrant Agent, and any agent of the
Company or the Warrant Agent, may deem and treat the person in whose name a
Warrant Certificate shall be registered in the Warrant Register (a "Registered
Holder") as the absolute owner of the Warrants evidenced thereby
(notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing on the Warrant
Certificate) for any purpose whatsoever, and as the person entitled to exercise
the rights represented by the Warrants evidenced thereby, and neither the
Company nor the Warrant Agent, nor any agent of the Company or the Warrant
Agent, shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. This Section 1.06 shall
be without prejudice to the rights of Warrantholders as described elsewhere
herein.

     SECTION 1.07. Global Warrant Certificate. (a) Any global certificate
evidencing the Warrants (the "Global Warrant Certificate") issued in accordance
with this Section 1.07 shall be substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit
A-1 hereto, with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and
other variations as are required or permitted by this Agreement, and may
represent any number of whole Warrants. The Global Warrant Certificate may have
imprinted or otherwise reproduced thereon such letters, numbers or other marks
of identification or designation and such legends or endorsements as the
officers of the Company executing the same may approve (execution thereof to be
conclusive evidence of such approval) and which are not inconsistent with the
provisions of this Agreement, or as may be required to comply with any law or
with any rule or


                                       5
<PAGE>


regulation made pursuant thereto, or with any rule or regulation of any stock
exchange on which the Warrants may be listed or of The Depository Trust
Company, New York, New York (the "Depository", which term, as used herein,
includes any successor securities depository selected by the Company), or to
conform to usage. Each Global Warrant Certificate shall be signed on behalf of
the Company upon the same conditions, in substantially the same manner and with
the same effect as the Warrant Certificates

     (b) The Warrant Agent is authorized upon receipt of a Global Warrant
Certificate from the Company, duly executed on behalf of the Company, to
countersign such Global Warrant Certificate. The Global Warrant Certificate
shall be manually countersigned and dated the date of its countersignature by
the Warrant Agent and shall not be valid for any purpose unless so
countersigned. The Warrant Agent shall deliver the Global Warrant Certificate
to or upon the order of the Company against receipt of an appropriate amount of
Certificated Warrants (as defined herein) (such Certificated Warrants shall be
disposed of in accordance with instructions provided by the Company). One or
more Global Warrant Certificates may be executed by the Company and delivered
to the Warrant Agent on or after the date of execution of this Agreement;
provided that only one Global Warrant Certificate shall be outstanding at any
one time.

     The Company reserves the right to issue, from time to time after the date
of execution of this Agreement, additional Warrants, and in connection
therewith the Global Warrant Certificate may be exchanged for a new Global
Warrant Certificate to reflect the issuance by the Company of such additional
Warrants. To effect such an exchange the Company shall deliver to the Warrant
Agent a new Global Warrant Certificate duly executed on behalf of the Company
as provided in Section 1.02. The Warrant Agent shall countersign the new Global
Warrant Certificate as provided in this Section and shall deliver the new
Global Warrant Certificate to the Depository in exchange for, and upon receipt
of, the Global Warrant Certificate then held by the Depository. The Warrant
Agent shall cancel the Global Warrant Certificate delivered to it by the
Depository, dispose of such Global Warrant Certificate and provide a
certificate of disposition to the Company.

     (c) The Global Warrant Certificate will initially be registered in the
name of a nominee of the Depository. The Warrant holdings of each entity (a
"Participant") entitled to execute, clear and settle transactions through the
Depository will be recorded on the books of the Depository. The holdings of
customers of the Participants and the identity of the Warrantholders will be
reflected on the books and records of such Participants and will not be known
to the Warrant Agent, the Company or the Depository. The Global Warrant
Certificate will be held by the Depository or its agent. Neither the Company
nor


                                       6
<PAGE>


the Warrant Agent will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of
the records relating to beneficial ownership interests in the Global Warrant
Certificate or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating
to such beneficial ownership interests.

     The Company may from time to time select a new entity to act as Depository
with respect to the Warrants and, if such selection is made, the Company shall
promptly give the Warrant Agent notice to such effect identifying the new
Depository, and the Global Warrant Certificate shall be delivered to the
Warrant Agent and shall be transferred to the new Depository as provided below
as promptly as possible. Appropriate changes may be made in the forms of the
Global Warrant Certificate, the Exercise Notice and the related notices to be
delivered in connection with an exercise to reflect the selection of the new
Depository.

     (d) Except as otherwise provided herein or in the Global Warrant
Certificate, the Warrant Agent shall from time to time register the transfer of
the Global Warrant Certificate in its records (which may be maintained
electronically), subject to such reasonable regulations as the Company or the
Warrant Agent may prescribe, only to the Depository, to another nominee of the
Depository, to a successor Depository or to a nominee of a successor
Depository, upon surrender of such Global Warrant Certificate, duly endorsed,
or accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Warrant Agent and the Company, duly executed by the
registered holder thereof or by the duly appointed legal representative
thereof, or by its duly authorized attorney, such signature to be guaranteed by
a bank or trust company with a correspondent office in The City of New York or
by a broker or dealer which is a member of the NASD or by a member of a
national securities exchange. Upon any such registration of transfer, a new
Global Warrant Certificate shall be issued to the transferee and the
surrendered Global Warrant Certificate shall be canceled by the Warrant Agent.

         The Global Warrant Certificate may be transferred as provided in this
Section, when surrendered to the Warrant Agent's Office, or at the office of
any successor Warrant Agent (as provided in Section 5.03), for another Global
Warrant Certificate of like tenor and representing a like number of unexercised
Warrants.

                                   ARTICLE 2
                       DURATION AND EXERCISE OF WARRANTS

     SECTION 2.01. Duration of Warrants; Minimum Exercise Amounts; Exercise
Notice. (a) Subject to the limitations set forth herein and in Section 2.03,
each Warrant may be irrevocably exercised in whole but not in part, immediately
upon issuance. Except in the case of automatic exercise, each Warrant shall be
irrevocably exercised either (A) in the case of Warrants represented by Warrant
Certificates ("Certificated Warrants"), on any New York Business Day during the
period from the date of issuance until 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the
earlier of (i) the New York Business Day immediately preceding the date
(established in or pursuant to a resolution or resolutions of the Board of
Directors of the Company or any committee of such Board duly authorized to act
on its behalf (a "Board Resolution" or "Board Resolutions")) upon which the
right to exercise the Warrants expires (the "Expiration Date"), and (ii) any
Delisting Date (as defined herein) by delivering or causing to be delivered to
the Warrant Agent (at its address as set forth in the Exercise Notice (as
defined below) or at such other address as the Warrant Agent may specify from
time to time) the Warrant Certificate representing such Warrant, with the
Exercise Notice duly completed and executed by the Registered Holder of such
Warrant or (B) in the case of Warrants represented by a Global Warrant
Certificate ("Book-Entry Warrants"), on any New York Business Day until 3:00
P.M., New York City time, on the earlier of (i) the New York Business Day
immediately preceding the Expiration Date and (ii) any Delisting Date, by
causing (x) such Warrant to be transferred free to the Warrant Agent on the
records of the Depository in accordance with the Depository's
Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian procedures and (y) a duly completed and
executed Exercise Notice to be received by the Warrant Agent from a Participant
acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of the Warrantholder; provided,
however, that Exercise Notices are subject to rejection by the Warrant Agent as
provided herein.

     In the case of Book-Entry Warrants held through the facilities of
Clearstream Banking S.A. ("Clearstream") or the Euroclear System ("Euroclear"),
a Warrantholder may exercise each Warrant on any New York Business Day until
3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the earlier of (i) the New York Business Day
immediately preceding the Expiration Date and (ii) any Delisting Date, by
causing (x) such Warrant to be transferred to the Warrant Agent in accordance
with clause ) of the preceding paragraph, giving appropriate instructions to
Clearstream or the participant holding his Warrants in Euroclear, as the case
may be, and (y) a duly completed and executed Exercise Notice to be delivered
on behalf of the Warrantholder by Clearstream, in the case of Warrants held
through Clearstream, or such participant, in the case of Warrants held through
Euroclear, to the Warrant Agent


                                       8
<PAGE>


     (b) No fewer than the minimum number of Warrants as set forth in each
Warrant Certificate may be exercised by or on behalf of any one Warrantholder
at any one time, except that no such minimum exercise amount shall apply in the
case of automatic exercise on the Expiration Date or a Delisting Date, or in
the case of cancellation of the Warrants as a result of an Extraordinary Event
(as defined herein). With the exception of the Limit Option, an Exercise Notice
shall be unconditional. Except as provided in Section 2.02(c), the Warrant
Agent shall be entitled, with no duty of inquiry, to rely conclusively on any
Exercise Notice received by it and on any representation of the exercising
Warrantholder contained therein.

     (c) "Exercise Notice" means an irrevocable notice of exercise to the
Warrant Agent at its address, which notice (A) for Certificated Warrants, shall
be on the reverse of the Warrant Certificate or such other form as the Company
and the Warrant Agent may approve, and (B) for Book-Entry Warrants, shall be
substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A-2 hereto or such other form as
the Company and the Warrant Agent may approve and may be given by facsimile
transmission. For purposes of this Agreement, "New York Business Day" means any
day other than a Saturday, Sunday or a day on which either the American Stock
Exchange or the New York Stock Exchange is not open for securities trading or
commercial banks in New York City are required or authorized by law or
executive order to remain closed.

     SECTION 2.02. Exercise, Valuation and Delivery of Warrants. (a) Except for
Warrants subject to automatic exercise, Warrants held through the facilities of
Clearstream or Euroclear, or Warrants subject to the Limit Option, the
"Exercise Date" for a Warrant means (i) the New York Business Day on which the
Warrant Agent receives the Warrant and Exercise Notice in proper form with
respect to such Warrant, if received at or prior to 3:00 P.M., New York City
time, on such day, or (ii) if the Warrant Agent receives such Warrant or
Exercise Notice after 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on a New York Business
Day, then the next New York Business Day succeeding the New York Business Day
on which such Warrant or Exercise Notice is received. In the case of Warrants
held through the facilities of Clearstream or Euroclear, except for Warrants
subject to automatic exercise and except for Warrants subject to the Limit
Option, the "Exercise Date" for a Warrant means (i) the New York Business Day
on which the Warrant Agent receives (by facsimile transmission) the Exercise
Notice in proper form with respect to such Warrant if such Exercise Notice is
received at or prior to 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on such day, provided,
that the Warrant being exercised is received by the Warrant Agent by 3:00 P.M.,
New York City time, on the New York Business Day next succeeding the date on
which the Exercise Notice is received, or (ii) if the Warrant Agent receives
such Exercise Notice after 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on a New York
Business Day, then the New


                                       9
<PAGE>


York Business Day succeeding such New York Business Day, provided that such day
will be the Exercise Date only if the Warrant being exercised is received by
3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the second succeeding New York Business Day
following the New York Business Day on which the Exercise Notice is received.
In the event that the Warrant being exercised is received after 3:00 P.M., New
York City time, on the New York Business Day next succeeding the date on which
the Exercise Notice is received, then the Exercise Date for such Warrant will
be the day on which such Warrant is received or, if such day is not a New York
Business Day, the next succeeding New York Business Day. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in the case of the exercise of a Book-Entry Warrant by Clearstream
or a Euroclear participant, Clearstream or Euroclear, as the case may be, must
by facsimile transmission to the Warrant Agent by 9:00 a.m., New York City
time, on the New York Business Day next succeeding the Exercise Date confirm
(an "Account Confirmation") that the Warrants being exercised will be received
by the Warrant Agent by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on such date, provided,
further, that if such Account Confirmation is received after 9:00 a.m., New
York City time, on the New York Business Day next succeeding the Exercise Date,
the Company will be entitled to direct the Warrant Agent to reject the related
Exercise Notice or waive the requirement for timely delivery of such Account
Confirmation.

     (b) The "Valuation Date" for a Warrant shall be the first Index
Calculation Date (as defined herein) following the applicable Exercise Date
(subject to postponement upon the occurrence of an Extraordinary Event or
Exercise Limitation Event (as herein defined) or as a result of the exercise of
a number of Warrants exceeding the limits on exercise set forth herein). For
purposes of this Agreement, "Index Calculation Date" means any day the Index
(as herein defined) or any Successor Index (as herein defined) is calculated
and published.

     All Warrants for which the Warrant Agent has not received a valid Exercise
Notice at or prior to 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on (i) the New York
Business Day immediately preceding the Expiration Date or (ii) the last New
York Business Day prior to the effective date on which the Warrants are
delisted from, or permanently suspended from trading (within the meaning of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules and regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission thereunder) on, the stock exchange on which the
Warrants are listed and not accepted prior thereto or at the same time for
listing on another United States national securities exchange (such New York
Business Day being a "Delisting Date") or for which the Warrant Agent has
received a valid Exercise Notice but with respect to which timely delivery of
the relevant Warrants has not been made by such date or the Valuation Date for
which has as of such date been postponed as provided in Section 2.03, shall be
deemed to be automatically


                                      10
<PAGE>


exercised as of such date; provided, however, that if the Company first
receives notice of the delisting or suspension of the Warrants on the same day
on which such Warrants are delisted or suspended, such day will be deemed a
Delisting Date for purposes of this Agreement.

     (c) The Warrant Agent shall, in the case of Warrants other than Warrants
held through the facilities of Clearstream or Euroclear, following receipt of
proper and timely delivery of a Warrant in accordance with Section 2.02(a),
accompanied by a completed Exercise Notice, and, in the case of Warrants held
through Clearstream or Euroclear, following receipt of proper delivery of a
completed Exercise Notice in accordance with Section 2.02(a):

          (i) promptly (1) for Certificated Warrants, determine whether such
     Exercise Notice has been duly completed and is in proper form duly
     executed by the Registered Holder thereof or by the duly appointed legal
     representative thereof or by a duly authorized attorney, (2) for
     Book-Entry Warrants not held through Clearstream or Euroclear, determine
     whether such Exercise Notice has been duly completed and is in proper form
     and (3) for Book-Entry Warrants held through Clearstream or Euroclear,
     determine whether such Exercise Notice has been duly completed and is in
     proper form duly executed by Clearstream or the Euroclear participant
     delivering such Warrant, as applicable; and if the Warrant Agent
     determines that the Exercise Notice has not been duly completed or is not
     in proper form or, in the case of Certificated Warrants, has not been so
     executed, the Warrant Agent promptly (A) shall reject such Exercise Notice
     and shall send to the entity that executed such Exercise Notice a notice
     of rejection substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit B or Exhibit
     B-1 hereto, as the case may be, and, in the case of Certificated Warrants,
     shall return to the Registered Holder that submitted such Exercise Notice,
     by first class mail, the Warrant Certificates evidencing such Warrants,
     or, in the case of Book-Entry Warrants, shall re-deliver such Warrants (to
     the extent received in the case of Warrants held through Clearstream or
     Euroclear) free through the facilities of DTC to the account from which
     they were transferred to the Warrant Agent and (B) shall not take the
     actions required by clauses i)-(viii) below with respect to such Exercise
     Notice or the related Warrants; provided, however, that the Warrant Agent
     shall deliver a copy of the Exercise Notice relating to such Warrants to
     the Company as required by Section 2.02(c)(viii) below and the Company may
     waive any defect in the form of such Exercise Notice;

          (ii) notify the Company and the Determination Agent (and such other
     parties (not to exceed two) as the Company shall designate in writing) by
     5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the New York Business


                                      11
<PAGE>


     Day that such Exercise Notice has been received (or shall be deemed to
     have been received) of (A) the total number of Warrants covered by such
     Exercise Notice, (B) the number of such Warrants subject to the Limit
     Option (as defined herein) ("Contingently Tendered Warrants") and (C) the
     number of such Warrants not subject to the Limit Option;

          (iii) with respect to Warrants held through Clearstream or Euroclear,
     determine whether the Warrant Agent has received by 9:00 a.m., New York
     City time, on the New York Business Day next succeeding the Exercise Date
     relating to such Warrants, Account Confirmations with respect to such
     Warrants, and if the Warrant Agent has not received any such Account
     Confirmation by such time, notify the Company (and such other parties (not
     to exceed two) as the Company shall designate in writing) by 10:00 a.m.,
     New York City time, on the New York Business Day next succeeding the
     Exercise Date, of the number of such Warrants in respect of which the
     Warrant Agent has not received such Account Confirmations and (except to
     the extent the Company has notified the Warrant Agent that it has waived
     the timing requirement of timely delivery of such Account Confirmations)
     send to Clearstream or the Euroclear participant, as the case may be, that
     delivered such Exercise Notice for which no related Account Confirmation
     was received (at the address specified in such notice) a notice of
     rejection substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit B hereto;

          (iv) if any of the Warrants covered by such Exercise Notice
     constitute Contingently Tendered Warrants, by 11:00 a.m., New York City
     time, on the Valuation Date or if such date is not a New York Business
     Day, then the next succeeding New York Business Day, (A) except as
     provided in Section 2.02(h), determine the Limit Option Reference Index
     Value (as defined herein) for such Warrants and the Spot Value (as defined
     herein) for the Index Calculation Date that, but for the provisions of
     Section 2.02(i), would be the Valuation Date for such Warrants; (B)
     determine in accordance with Section 2.02(i) whether such Contingently
     Tendered Warrants will be subject to exercise after giving effect to the
     Limit Option and, if such Warrants will not be subject to exercise, send,
     in the case of Certificated Warrants, to the Registered Holder or, in the
     case of Book-Entry Warrants to the Participant or to Clearstream or to the

     of Clearstream or Euroclear, respectively, that submitted such Exercise
     Notice a notice of rejection substantially in the form set forth in
     Exhibit C- 1 or Exhibit C-2 hereto, as appropriate, with respect to such
     Warrants and return to the Registered Holder that submitted such Exercise

     the case of Book-Entry Warrants (to the extent received, in the case of
     Warrants held through Clearstream or Euroclear), redeliver the Warrants
     free through the facilities of the Depository to the account of such
     Participant, Clearstream or Euroclear participant, as the case may be; and
     (C) notify the Company and the Determination Agent as to whether such
     Contingently Tendered Warrants will be subject to exercise;

          (v) by 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Valuation Date or if
     such Date is not a New York Business Day then the next succeeding New York
     Business Day, (A) determine the sum of (1) the number of such Warrants not
     subject to the Limit Option (i.e., the number of Warrants determined
     pursuant to clause i)(C) above) plus (2) the number of such Warrants that
     are Contingently Tendered Warrants that will be subject to exercise
     notwithstanding the Limit Option (i.e., the number of Warrants so
     identified pursuant to clause v)(B) above) (all of such Warrants, the
     "Exercised Warrants") and (B) notify the Company and the Determination
     Agent of the total number of Exercised Warrants so determined (if such
     number is zero, the Warrant Agent shall not take the actions required by
     clauses i) and (vii) of this Section 2.02(c) with respect to such Exercise
     Notice or the related Warrants);

          (vi) determine the applicable Spot Value and calculate the Cash
     Settlement Value of the Exercised Warrants (excluding any Warrants held
     through Clearstream or Euroclear as to which timely delivery of the
     related Warrant has not been made) as of their Valuation Date in the
     manner set forth in Section 2.02(e) by no later than 10:00 a.m., New York
     City time, on the New York Business Day next succeeding the Valuation Date
     (unless the Cash Settlement Value shall be calculated by the Determination
     Agent);

          (vii) notify the Company (and such other parties (not to exceed two)
     as the Company shall designate in writing) by 12:00 noon, New York City
     time, on the New York Business Day next succeeding the Valuation Date of
     the Cash Settlement Value payable in respect of the Exercised Warrants,
     and send notices of confirmation substantially in the form included in
     Exhibit B or Exhibit B-1 hereto, as the case may be, to the Registered
     Holder, Participant, Clearstream or Euroclear participant, as the case may
     be; and

          (viii) promptly deliver a copy of each Exercise Notice to the Company
     and advise the Company of such other matters relating to the Exercised
     Warrants as the Company shall reasonably request. Any notice to be given
     to the Company by the Warrant Agent pursuant to this Section


                                      13
<PAGE>


     2.02 or Section 2.03 shall be by telephone (promptly confirmed in writing)
     or facsimile transmission.

     Except in the case of Warrants subject to automatic exercise and for
Warrants that upon exercise entitle the holder thereof to receive an
Alternative Settlement Amount in lieu of the Cash Settlement Value, if on any
Valuation Date the Cash Settlement Value for any Warrants then exercised would
be zero, then the attempted exercise of any such Warrants shall be void and of
no effect and (i) for Certificated Warrants, the Warrant Certificate evidencing
such Warrants shall be promptly returned by the Warrant Agent to the Registered
Holder by first class mail at the Company's expense or (ii) for Book-Entry
Warrants, the Warrants will be transferred by the Warrant Agent back to the
Participant that submitted them free on the records of DTC (to the extent
received, in the case of Warrants held through Clearstream or Euroclear) and,
in either case such Warrantholder shall be permitted to re-exercise such
Warrants prior to the Expiration Date or any Delisting Date, as the case may
be.

     (d) Except in the case of Warrants subject to automatic exercise and for
Warrants that upon exercise entitle the holder thereof to receive an
Alternative Settlement Amount in lieu of the Cash Settlement Value, if the
Company has made adequate funds available to the Warrant Agent in a timely
manner, which shall in no event be later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on
the fourth New York Business Day following a Valuation Date (or, if the
Valuation Date is not a New York Business Day, on the fourth New York Business
Day following the New York Business Day next succeeding the Valuation Date)
(the "Funding Date"), the Warrant Agent will be responsible for making its
payment available (i) for Certificated Warrants, to each Registered Holder of
an exercised Warrant in the form of a cashier's check or an official bank
check, or (in the case of payments of at least $100,000) by wire transfer to a
U.S. Dollar account maintained by such Registered Holder in the United States
(at such Registered Holder's election as specified in the applicable Exercise
Notice), after 3:00 p.m., New York City time, but prior to the close of
business on the first New York Business Day immediately succeeding such Funding
Date or (ii) for Book-Entry Warrants, to each appropriate Participant in the
form of a cashier's check or an official bank check, or (in the case of
payments of at least $100,000) by wire transfer to a U.S. Dollar account
maintained by such Participant in the United States (at the Participant's
election as specified in the Exercise Notice), after 3:00 p.m., New York City
time, but prior to the close of business, on the first New York Business Day
immediately succeeding such Funding Date. For either clause (i) or (ii) above,
such payment shall be in the amount of the aggregate Cash Settlement Value in
respect of the Warrant Certificates or Warrants that were delivered to the
Warrant Agent (together with the related Exercise Notice) as provided in
Sections 2.01 and 2.02(a), (b) and (c).


                                      14
<PAGE>


     (e) The "Cash Settlement Value" of an exercised Warrant shall be an amount
in [name of payment currency] equal to [formula or method of calculation for
cash settlement value] provided, however, that if such amount is less than
zero, then the Cash Settlement Value shall be zero.

     For purposes of this Agreement, the "Index" means the [Reference Index]
and the "Spot Value" for any date means the closing level on such date of the
[Reference Index]. References in this Agreement to "U.S. dollars", "U.S.$" or
"$" are to the lawful currency of the United States of America, [and references
to [other currency] are to the lawful currency of [country of the principal
trading market for the Underlying Securities]] [other provisions if the
principal trading markets for the Underlying Securities are in more than one
country] [alternative provision for indices not based on securities].

     (f) In the case of exercise of Book-Entry Warrants, the Warrant Agent
shall cause its records, which may be kept electronically, to be marked to
reflect the reduction in the number of Warrants represented by the Global
Warrant Certificate by the number of Warrants that were delivered to the
Warrant Account and for which payment has been made as provided in Section
2.02(d) promptly after such delivery and payment. Absent manifest error, the
Warrant Agent's records shall be conclusive evidence of such matters.

     (g) The Company hereby appoints [_____________________], and
[_____________________] accepts such appointment, to be the Company's
Determination Agent to make such calculations as may be required upon the
occurrence of any of the circumstances described in Section 2.02(h) or 2.03,
including, without limitation, calculation of the Cash Settlement Value or the
Alternative Settlement Amount, as applicable, of a Warrant. The Determination
Agent shall act as an independent expert and not as an agent of the Company,
and, unless otherwise provided by this Agreement, its calculations and
determinations under this Agreement shall, absent manifest error, be final and
binding on the Company, the Warrant Agent, the Warrantholders and any
Participant. Any such calculations will be made available to a Warrantholder
for inspection at the Warrant Agent's Office.

     The Company agrees, for the benefit of the Warrantholders that there shall
at all times be a Determination Agent hereunder until all the Warrants are no
longer outstanding or until monies for the payment of all outstanding Warrants,
if any, shall have been paid to the Warrant Agent and shall have been returned
to the Company as provided in Section 2.06, whichever occurs earlier.
Resignation, removal and appointment of the Determination Agent shall be in
accordance with the procedures set forth for the resignation, removal and
appointment of the


                                      15
<PAGE>


Warrant Agent, as provided in Section 5.03, except that a successor
Determination Agent need not be a banking institution with offices in the
Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, and may only be appointed if such
successor has been nominated by the Company and approved by the predecessor
Determination Agent.

     The Company agrees promptly to pay the Determination Agent the
compensation to be agreed upon with the Company for all services rendered by
the Determination Agent hereunder. The Company also agrees to indemnify the
Determination Agent for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability,
cost or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) incurred by
the Determination Agent by reason of its being made a party to a suit or claim
arising out of this Agreement; provided, however, that such indemnity shall in
no event apply to the extent that any such loss, liability, cost or expense is
a result of the negligence, bad faith or breach of this Agreement on its part
in connection with the services rendered by it hereunder. The indemnity
obligation of the Company shall continue notwithstanding the termination of
this Agreement or the resignation or removal of the Determination Agent.

     (h) In the event that the Index is not published by [name of Index
publisher] (the "Index Publisher") but is published by another person not
affiliated with the Company and acceptable to the Company (the "Third Party"),
then the Spot Value for any date thereafter will be determined based on the
closing level of the Index as published by such Third Party. If the Index
Publisher or any Third Party discontinues publication of the Index and
publishes a successor or substitute index that the Company determines, in its
sole discretion, to be comparable to the Index (any such index being a
"Successor Index"), then the Spot Value for any date thereafter will be
determined by the Determination Agent on behalf of the Company based on the
closing level of the Successor Index on such date. If the Index Publisher or
any Third Party makes a material change in the formula for, or the method of
calculating, the Index or any Successor Index, the Determination Agent shall
make such calculations as may be required to determine the applicable Cash
Settlement Value using the formula and method of calculating the Index or any
Successor Index as in effect prior to such change or modification. If the Index
Publisher and/or any Third Party discontinues publication of the Index and/or
Successor Index, the Determination Agent will determine the applicable Cash
Settlement Value based on the formula and method used in calculating the Index
or any Successor Index as in effect on the date the Index or such Successor
Index was last published.

     If calculation or publication of the Index or a Successor Index is
modified, discontinued or suspended, as provided in this Section 2.02(h), then
the Determination Agent shall promptly notify the Warrant Agent, and the
Warrant


                                      16
<PAGE>


Agent shall in turn promptly notify the Warrantholders in accordance with
Section 6.04 hereof, of such modification, discontinuance or suspension and of
any modification or adjustment to be made with respect to calculation of the
Cash Settlement Value or Alternative Settlement Amount, as applicable.

     The Determination Agent will have no responsibility for good faith errors
or omissions in calculating or disseminating information regarding the Index,
any Successor Index, adjustments or calculations by the Determination Agent (as
provided above) in order to arrive at a calculation of a stock index comparable
to the Index or any Successor Index, or the Cash Settlement Value or the
Alternative Settlement Amount, as applicable.

     (i) Except for Warrants subject to automatic exercise (as described in
Section 2.03 below) and except as described in Section 2.03 with respect to
payments of any Alternative Settlement Amount, each Warrantholder, in
connection with any exercise of Warrants (including an exercise with a
postponed Valuation Date following an Extraordinary Event or an Exercise
Limitation Event), will have the option (the "Limit Option") to specify in the
related Exercise Notice that such exercise be subject to the condition that the
Spot Value that would otherwise be used to determine the Cash Settlement Value
of such Warrants not be [minimum number of points] or more points [lower in the
case of call warrants] [higher in the case of put warrants] [formula] than the
Limit Option Reference Index Value for such Warrants. "Limit Option Reference
Index Value", with respect to any Contingently Tendered Warrants, means the
closing level of the Index on the relevant Exercise Date (or, if such Exercise
Date is not an Index Calculation Date, on the immediately preceding Index
Calculation Date). If a Warrantholder elects the Limit Option in connection
with any exercise of Warrants, the following provisions shall apply:

          (i) To be valid, such election must be specified in the related
     Exercise Notice. Each of the Warrant Agent and the Company shall be
     entitled to rely conclusively on such Exercise Notice, as received by the
     Warrant Agent, in determining whether such election has been validly made.
     In connection with any exercise of [double the minimum exercise amount]
     Warrants, a Warrantholder may elect to subject only a portion of such
     Warrants to the Limit Option; provided that the number of such Warrants
     subject to the Limit Option and the number of such Warrants not subject to
     the Limit Option shall in each case not be less than [minimum exercise
     amount]. Registered Holders and Participants shall be required to certify
     that the number of Warrants exercised on behalf of any Warrantholder
     pursuant to the related Exercise Notice that are subject to the Limit
     Option is an amount that is not less than [minimum exercise amount].


                                      17
<PAGE>


          (ii) Except as provided in Section 2.02(g), the Limit Option
     Reference Index Value shall be determined by the Warrant Agent, which
     determination shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes relating to
     such exercise.

          (iii) In the event that the Spot Value for the first Index
     Calculation Date following the relevant Exercise Date is [minimum number
     of points] or more points [lower in the case of call warrants] [higher in
     the case of put warrants] [formula] than the Limit Option Reference Index
     Value for such Warrants, such Warrants (A) shall not be subject to
     exercise and shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement and the
     Warrant Certificates and Global Warrant Certificate as if the related
     Exercise Notice had never been received by the Warrant Agent, and (B)
     shall not constitute "Exercised Warrants" for purposes of Section 2.02(c).
     If such Spot Value is not [minimum number of points] or more points [lower
     in the case of call warrants] [higher in the case of put warrants]
     [formula] than such Limit Option Reference Index Value, such Warrants
     shall be subject to exercise as provided in this Section 2.02 and shall be
     deemed to be "Exercised Warrants" for such purposes. The Warrant Agent's
     determination shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes relating to
     such Warrants.

          (iv) Except as provided in Section 2.03(b), the Limit Option (based
     on the Limit Option Reference Index Value as determined for the relevant
     Exercise Date or, if applicable, the first Index Calculation Date
     preceding such Exercise Date) shall continue to be applicable to any
     Exercised Warrant for which the Valuation Date has been postponed as a
     result of the occurrence of an Extraordinary Event or an Exercise
     Limitation Event until the Warrants are canceled as provided in Section
     2.03(b) or until the Expiration Date or any Delisting Date.

     SECTION 2.03. Automatic Exercise of Warrants; Exercise Upon an
Extraordinary Event or Exercise Limitation Event. (a) All Warrants for which
the Warrant Agent has not received an Exercise Notice in proper form by 3:00
p.m., New York City time, on (i) the New York Business Day immediately
preceding the Expiration Date or (ii) any Delisting Date, as the case may be,
or for which the Warrant Agent has received a valid Exercise Notice in proper
form but with respect to which timely delivery of the relevant Warrants has not
been made prior to such time, and which have not been canceled prior to such
time, will be deemed automatically exercised without any requirement of an
Exercise Notice to the Warrant Agent. The Exercise Date for such Warrants shall
be the Expiration Date or Delisting Date, as the case may be, or, if such date
is not a New York Business


                                      18
<PAGE>


Day, the next succeeding New York Business Day and the Valuation Date for such
Warrants shall be the first Index Calculation Date following such date.

     The Warrant Agent shall by 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the
Expiration Date or any Delisting Date, as the case may be, notify the Company
(and such other parties (not to exceed two) as the Company shall designate in
writing) of the number of Warrants to be automatically exercised on such day.
On the Valuation Date for such Warrants (or, if such Valuation Date is not a
New York Business Day, on the next succeeding New York Business Day), the
Warrant Agent shall (i) except as provided in Section 2.02(h), determine the
Cash Settlement Value (in the manner provided in Section 2.02(e)) of the
Warrants to be automatically exercised; (ii) by 5:00 p.m., New York City time,
on the next New York Business Day succeeding such Valuation Date, notify the
Company (and such other parties (not to exceed two) as the Company shall
designate in writing) of the Cash Settlement Value payable in respect of such
exercised Warrants; and (iii) advise the Company of such other matters relating
to the exercised Warrants as the Company shall reasonably request.

     In the case of Certificated Warrants subject to automatic exercise (other
than Certificated Warrants subject to postponed exercise following the
occurrence of an Extraordinary Event or an Exercise Limitation Event as
described in Section 2.03(b)), the Company shall make available to the Warrant
Agent, not later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the fourth New York
Business Day following the Valuation Date for automatically exercised Warrants
(or if such Valuation Date is not a New York Business Day, on the fourth New
York Business Day following the New York Business Day next succeeding such
Valuation Date) (in any such case, the "Automatic Funding Date"), funds in an
amount equal to, and for the payment of, the aggregate Cash Settlement Value of
such Warrants. Subject to such funds having been made available as provided in
the preceding sentence, the Warrant Agent will be responsible for making its
payment available to the appropriate Registered Holder in the form of a
cashier's check or an official bank check, or (in the case of payments of at
least $100,000) by wire transfer to a U.S. Dollar account maintained by such
Registered Holder in the United States (at such Registered Holder's election
upon written notice to the Company and the Warrant Agent), after 3:00 p.m., New
York City time, but prior to the close of business, on the Automatic Funding
Date, against receipt by the Warrant Agent at the Warrant Agent's Office from
such Registered Holder of its Warrant Certificates. Such payment shall be in
the amount of the aggregate Cash Settlement Value in respect of the Warrants,
evidenced by such Warrant Certificates, that were exercised automatically on
the Expiration Date or on any Delisting Date, as the case may be. Warrant
Certificates delivered to the Warrant Agent shall thereafter be promptly
canceled by the Warrant Agent.


                                      19
<PAGE>


     In the case of Book-Entry Warrants subject to automatic exercise (other
than Warrants subject to postponed exercise following the occurrence of an
Extraordinary Event or an Exercise Limitation Event as described in Section
2.03(b)), the Company shall make available to the Warrant Agent, not later than
3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Automatic Funding Date, funds in an
amount equal to, and for the payment of, the aggregate Cash Settlement Value of
such Warrants. Subject to such funds having been made available as provided in
the preceding sentence, the Warrant Agent will be responsible for making funds
available to DTC, against receipt of the Global Warrant Certificate, after 3:00
p.m., New York City time, but prior to the close of business, on the Automatic
Funding Date. Such funds are to be in an amount equal to the aggregate Cash
Settlement Value of the Warrants subject to such automatic exercise.

     The Company will advise the Warrant Agent as soon as practicable of the
date of any expected delisting or permanent suspension of trading of the
Warrants and will immediately inform the Warrant Agent after the Company has
received notice that such delisting or suspension has occurred, but in no event
will notice of such delisting or suspension be given to the Warrant Agent later
than 9:30 a.m., New York City time, on the New York Business Day following the
date that such delisting or suspension occurs. The Company will use its best
efforts to notify the Warrantholders, or cause the Warrantholders to be
notified, as promptly as practicable of any expected delisting or suspension of
trading of the Warrants.

     (b) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if the
Company determines that an Extraordinary Event or Exercise Limitation Event has
occurred and is continuing on the Home Country Business Day with respect to
which the Spot Value on a Valuation Date is to be determined (the "Applicable
Home Country Business Day"), then the Cash Settlement Value with respect to an
exercise of Warrants shall be calculated on the basis that the Valuation Date
shall be the next Index Calculation Day following an Applicable Home Country
Business Day on which there is no Extraordinary Event or Exercise Limitation
Event; provided, that if the Valuation Date has not occurred on or prior to the
Expiration Date or any Delisting Date, then the Warrantholders shall receive
the Alternative Settlement Amount (as defined herein) in lieu of the Cash
Settlement Value which shall be calculated as if the Warrants had been canceled
on the Expiration Date or any Delisting Date, as the case may be. The term
"Home Country Business Day" means any day on which the principal trading market
for the Underlying Securities is not open for securities trading [other
provisions if the principal trading markets for the Underlying Securities are
in more than one country] [alternative provision for indices not based on
securities].

     Upon the occurrence of an Extraordinary Event or an Exercise Limitation
Event, the Company shall use its best efforts to notify the Warrant Agent and
the


                                      20
<PAGE>


Determination Agent promptly that an Extraordinary Event or Exercise Limitation
Event, as the case may be, has occurred and shall promptly give notice to the
Warrantholders, by publication in a United States newspaper with a national
circulation (currently expected to be the Wall Street Journal), that an
Extraordinary Event or an Exercise Limitation Event has occurred.

     If the Company determines that an Extraordinary Event or an Exercise
Limitation Event has occurred and is continuing on the Expiration Date or on
any Delisting Date, the Company shall so notify the Warrant Agent and the
Determination Agent, and the Cash Settlement Value with respect to the
exercised Warrants shall be equal to, and be calculated in the same manner as,
an "Alternative Settlement Amount", in accordance with Sections 2.03(b) and (d)
herein (treating the Expiration Date or any Delisting Date, as the case may be,
as the date on which the Warrants were canceled for the purposes of this
Section 2.03(b)).

     If the Company determines that an Extraordinary Event has occurred and is
continuing, and if that Extraordinary Event is expected by the Company to
continue, the Company may immediately cancel the Warrants by notifying the
Warrant Agent of such cancellation (the date such notice is given being the
"Cancellation Date"), and each Warrantholder's rights with respect to the
Warrants and under this Agreement shall thereupon cease; provided, that each
Warrant shall be exercised (even if such Warrant would not otherwise be
exercisable on such date because of the Limit Option) on the basis that the
Valuation Date for such Warrant shall be the Cancellation Date and each
Warrantholder shall have the right to receive, in lieu of the Cash Settlement
Value of such Warrant, the Alternative Settlement Amount, determined by the
Determination Agent.

     (c) For purposes of this Agreement, "Extraordinary Event" means any of the
following events:

          (i) a suspension or absence of trading on the [principal market in
     which the Underlying Securities are traded] [other provisions if there is
     more than one principal trading market for the Underlying Securities]
     [alternative provision for indices not based on securities] of all the
     Underlying Securities which then comprise the Index or a Successor Index;

          (ii) the enactment, publication, decree or other promulgation of any
     statute, regulation, rule or order of any court or any other U.S. or non-
     U.S. governmental authority that would make it unlawful for the Company to
     perform any of its obligations under this Agreement or the Warrants or


                                      21
<PAGE>


     that has or will have a material adverse effect on the ability of the
     Company to perform its obligations under the Warrants or to modify the
     hedge of its position with respect to the Index; or

          (iii) any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or other national or
     international calamity or crises (including, without limitation, natural
     calamities that in the opinion of the Company may materially and adversely
     affect the economy of [country of principal market in which the Underlying
     Securities are traded] or the trading of securities generally on the
     [principal market in which the Underlying Securities are traded]) that has
     or will have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Company to
     perform its obligations under the Warrants or to modify the hedge of its
     position with respect to the Index.

     For the purpose of determining whether an Extraordinary Event has
occurred: (1) a limitation on the hours or number of days of trading will not
constitute an Extraordinary Event if it results from an announced change in the
regular business hours of the [principal market in which the Underlying
Securities are traded] and (2) an "absence of trading" on the [principal market
in which the Underlying Securities are traded] will not include any time when
the [principal market in which Underlying Securities are traded] is closed for
trading under ordinary circumstances.

     (d) For purposes of this Agreement, "Exercise Limitation Event" means
either of the following events:

          (i) a suspension, material limitation or absence of trading on the
     [principal market in which the Underlying Securities are traded] of (a)
     [___]% or more of the Underlying Securities and/or (b) the securities of
     [percentage or number] of the most highly capitalized companies included
     in the Underlying Securities which then comprise the Index or a Successor
     Index; or

          (ii) the suspension or material limitation on [relevant futures
     exchange(s) with respect to the Underlying Securities] or any other major
     futures or securities market of trading in futures or options contracts
     related to the [other relevant index], the Index or a Successor Index.]

     For the purposes of determining whether an Exercise Limitation Event has
occurred: (1) a limitation on the hours or number of days of trading will not
constitute an Exercise Limitation Event if it results from an announced change
in the regular business hours of the relevant market or exchange, [(2) a
decision to


                                      22
<PAGE>


permanently discontinue trading in the relevant futures or options contract
will not constitute an Exercise Limitation Event,] (3) a suspension in trading
in an Underlying Security [or in a futures or options contract] referred to in
clause[s] ) [and (ii)] above, by reason of (x) a price change violating limits
set by the [principal market in which the Underlying Securities are traded] [or
the relevant futures exchange(s) with respect to the Underlying Securities] or
such [futures or] securities market, (y) an imbalance of orders relating to an
Underlying Security [or such contracts] or (z) a disparity in bid and ask
quotes relating to an Underlying Security [or such contracts], will constitute
a suspension or material limitation of trading, (4) an "absence of trading" in
the [principal market in which the Underlying Securities are traded] will not
include any time when the [principal market in which the Underlying Securities
are traded] is closed for trading under ordinary circumstances and (5) the
occurrence of an Extraordinary Event described in clause ) of the definition of
Extraordinary Event will not constitute, and will supersede the occurrence of,
an Exercise Limitation Event.

     The "Alternative Settlement Amount" is equal to the amount "X" calculated
using the formula set forth below:

     X = I + (T/2 x A/B)

     where

     I = the Cash Settlement Value of the Warrants determined as described
         under Section 2.02(e), but calculated with a Spot Value determined
         by the Determination Agent which, subject to approval by the
         Company (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld), in the
         reasonable opinion of the Determination Agent, fairly reflects the
         value of the component securities of the Index (the "Underlying
         Securities") [alternative provision for indices not based on
         securities] on the Cancellation Date, Expiration Date or Delisting
         Date, whichever has given rise to the payment of the Alternative
         Settlement Amount;

     T = the initial offering price per Warrant;

     A = the total number of days from but excluding the
         Cancellation Date, Expiration Date, or Delisting Date,
         whichever has given rise to the payment of the Alternative
         Settlement Amount for such Warrants, to and including the
         Expiration Date; and


                                      23
<PAGE>


     B = the total number of days from, but excluding the date on
         which sales of the Warrants were initially confirmed, to and
         including the Expiration Date.

     For purposes of determining "I" in the above formula, in the event that
the Determination Agent and the Company are required, but have not, after good
faith consultation with each other and within five days following the first day
on which such Alternative Settlement Amount may be calculated in accordance
with the above formula, agreed upon a Spot Value which fairly reflects the
value of the Underlying Securities [alternative provision for indices not based
on securities] on the Cancellation Date, Expiration Date or Delisting Date,
whichever gives rise to the payment of the Alternative Settlement Amount, then
the Determination Agent shall promptly nominate a third party, subject to
approval by the Company (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld), to
determine such figure and calculate the Alternative Settlement Amount in
accordance with the above formula. Such party shall act as an independent
expert and not as an agent of the Company or the Determination Agent, and its
calculation and determination of the Alternative Settlement Amount shall,
absent manifest error, be final and binding on the Company, the Warrant Agent,
the Determination Agent and the Warrantholders. Any such calculations will be
made available to a Warrantholder for inspection at the Warrant Agent's Office.
Neither the Company nor such third party shall have any responsibility for good
faith errors or omissions in calculating the Alternative Settlement Amount.

     (e) With respect to all Warrants as to which the Valuation Date has been
postponed or which have been canceled as described above, the Company shall
make available to the Warrant Agent not later than 3:00 p.m., New York City
time, on the third New York Business Day following the date on which the Cash
Settlement Value or Alternative Settlement Amount, as the case may be, has been
calculated (the "Alternative Funding Date"), funds in an amount equal to, and
for the payment of, the aggregate Cash Settlement Value or Alternative
Settlement Amount, as applicable, of such Warrants. Subject to such funds
having been made available as provided in the preceding sentence, the Warrant
Agent will be responsible for making a payment in the manner set forth in
Section 2.03(a), (i) in the case of Certificated Warrants, to each Registered
Holder that submitted a Warrant Certificate for exercise (and in the case of
cancellation as described above, to each Registered Holder) or (ii) in the case
of Book-Entry Warrants, to the Depository, after 3:00 p.m., New York City time,
but prior to the close of business on, the Alternative Funding Date, in an
amount equal to the aggregate Cash Settlement Value or Alternative Settlement
Amount (as applicable) of such exercised Warrants (and in the case of
cancellation as described above, of all previously unexercised Warrants).


                                      24

     SECTION 2.04. Limitation of Number of Exercisable Warrants. All exercises
of Warrants (other than on automatic exercise or upon cancellation) are
subject, at the Company's option, to the limitation that not more than [limit
on aggregate number of Warrants to be exercised on any day] Warrants in total
may be exercised on any Exercise Date and not more than [individual limit]
Warrants may be exercised by or on behalf of any beneficial owner, either
individually or in concert with any other beneficial owner, on any Exercise
Date. If any New York Business Day would otherwise, under the terms hereof, be
the Exercise Date in respect of more than [limit on aggregate number of
Warrants to be exercised on any day] Warrants, then at the Company's election
(by giving notice thereof to the Warrant Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., New
York City time, on the New York Business Day immediately following such
Exercise Date), [limit on aggregate number of Warrants to be exercised on any
day] of such Warrants shall be deemed exercised on such Exercise Date (selected
by the Warrant Agent on a pro rata basis, but if, as a result of such pro rata
selection, any Registered Holders would be deemed to have exercised less than
[minimum exercise amount] Warrants, then the Warrant Agent shall first select
additional amounts of such holders' Warrants so that no holder shall be deemed
to have exercised less than [minimum exercise amount] Warrants), and the
remainder of such Warrants (the "Remaining Warrants") shall be deemed exercised
on the following New York Business Day (notwithstanding the provisions of
Section 2.01(b)); provided that in the event that the aggregate number of such
Remaining Warrants, together with any additional Warrants with respect to which
the Exercise Date would be such following New York Business Day, exceeds the
[limit on aggregate number of Warrants to be exercised on any day] the
provisions of this Section 2.04 shall apply to the exercise of such Remaining
Warrants and such additional Warrants on such following New York Business Day
and successively until the limitations set forth in this Section 2.04 are no
longer exceeded; provided further that, any such Remaining Warrants shall be
deemed exercised before any such additional Warrants.

     If any beneficial owner of Warrants attempts to exercise more than
[individual limit] Warrants on any New York Business Day, then at the Company's
election (as notified to the Warrant Agent by giving notice thereof to the
Warrant Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the next New
York Business Day following such Day) [individual limit] of such Warrants shall
be deemed exercised on such New York Business Day and the remainder of such
Warrants shall be deemed exercised on the following New York Business Day
(notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.01(b)); provided, that in the
event that the aggregate number of such remaining Warrants, together with any
additional Warrants of such beneficial owner with respect to which the Exercise
Date would be such following New York Business Day, exceeds [individual limit],
at the Company's election (as notified in the manner described above), the


                                      25
<PAGE>


provisions of this Section 2.04 shall apply to the exercise of such remaining
Warrants and such additional Warrants on such following New York Business Day
and successively until the limitations set forth in this Section 2.04 are no
longer exceeded; provided further, that, any such remaining Warrants shall be
deemed exercised before any such additional Warrants of such beneficial owner.
The date on which any Warrant is deemed exercised under the preceding sentences
shall for all purposes of this Agreement be the "Exercise Date" in respect of
such Warrants.

     SECTION 2.05. Covenant of the Company. The Company covenants, for the
benefit of the Warrantholders, that it will not seek the delisting of the
Warrants from, or suspension of their trading on, the [exchange on which the
Warrants are listed] unless the Company has, at the same time, arranged for
listing on another United States national securities exchange.

     SECTION 2.06. Return of Money Held Unclaimed for Two Years. Except as
otherwise provided herein, any money deposited with or paid to the Warrant
Agent for the payment of the Cash Settlement Value or Alternative Settlement
Amount of any Warrants and not applied but remaining unclaimed for two years
after the date upon which such Cash Settlement Value or Alternative Settlement
Amount shall have become due and payable shall be repaid by the Warrant Agent
to the Company, at the Company's request, and the holders of such Warrants
shall thereafter look only to the Company for any payment which such holders
may be entitled to collect and all liability of the Warrant Agent with respect
to such money shall thereupon cease; provided that the Warrant Agent, before
making any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company notify (i) in the
case of Certificated Warrants, the Registered Holders or (ii) in the case of
Book-Entry Warrants, the Participants concerned, that said money has not been
so applied and remains unclaimed and that after a date named in the
notification any unclaimed balance of said money then remaining will be
returned to the Company.

     SECTION 2.07. Return of Global Warrant Certificate. In the event a Global
Warrant Certificate is issued, at such time as all of the Warrants evidenced by
such Certificate have been exercised (including pursuant to an automatic
exercise) or otherwise canceled and all payments to the Participants made as
provided herein, the Warrant Agent shall dispose of the canceled Global Warrant
Certificate in accordance with its customary procedures (unless instructed by
the Company to deliver the Global Warrant Certificate to the Company) and shall
provide a certificate of disposition to the Company.

             OTHER PROVISIONS RELATING TO RIGHTS OF WARRANTHOLDERS

any of the provisions of this Agreement, any Warrantholder, without the consent
of the Warrant Agent, may, in and for its own behalf, enforce, and may
institute and maintain, any suit, action or proceeding against the Company
suitable to enforce, or otherwise in respect of, its right to exercise, and to
receive payment for, its Warrants as provided in this Agreement.

     SECTION 4.01. Warrants Acquired by the Company. In the event the Company
shall purchase or otherwise acquire Warrants, such Warrants may, at the option
of the Company, be (i) in the case of Certificated Warrants, delivered to the
Warrant Agent, and if so delivered, the Warrant Agent shall promptly cancel
such Warrants on the records of the Warrant Agent or (ii) in the case of
Book-Entry Warrants, surrendered free through a Participant to the Depository
for credit to the account of the Warrant Agent maintained at the Depository,
and if so credited, the Warrant Agent shall promptly note the cancellation of
such Warrants by notation on the records of the Warrant Agent and the Warrant
Agent shall cause its records to be marked to reflect the reduction in the
number of Warrants represented by the Global Warrant Certificate by the number
of Warrants so canceled promptly after such account is credited. In the case of
Book-Entry Warrants, such Warrants may also, at the option of the Company, be
resold by the Company directly or to or through any of its affiliates in lieu
of being surrendered to the Depository. No Warrant Certificate shall be
countersigned in lieu of or in exchange for any Warrant which is canceled as
provided herein, except as otherwise expressly permitted by this Agreement.

     Any canceled Warrant Certificate held by the Warrant Agent under this
Agreement shall be disposed of by the Warrant Agent in accordance with its
customary procedures unless otherwise directed by the Company, and the Warrant
Agent shall deliver a certificate of disposition to the Company evidencing the
same.

     SECTION 4.02. Payment of Taxes. The Company will pay all stamp,
withholding and other duties, if any, attributable to the initial issuance of
Warrants; provided, however, that, anything in this Agreement to the contrary
notwithstanding, the Company shall not be required to pay any tax or other

connection with the services rendered by it hereunder. The Company also agrees
to indemnify the Warrant Agent for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss,

<PAGE>


     (b) In acting under this Agreement, the Warrant Agent is acting solely as
agent of the Company and does not assume any obligation or relationship of
agency or trust for or with any of the owners or holders of the Warrants.

     (c) The Warrant Agent may consult with counsel satisfactory to it
(including counsel to the Company), and the opinion of such counsel shall be

     (d) The Warrant Agent shall be protected and shall incur no liability for

document reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been presented or
signed by the proper parties.

     (e) The Warrant Agent, and its officers, directors and employees, may
become the owner of, or acquire any interest in, any Warrants or other
obligations of the Company, with the same rights that it or they would have if
it were not the Warrant Agent hereunder and, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, it or they may engage or be interested in any financial or
other transaction with the Company and may act on behalf of, or as depository,
trustee or agent for, any committee or body of owners or holders of Warrants or
other obligations of the Company as freely as if it were not the Warrant Agent
hereunder.

     (f) The Warrant Agent shall not be under any liability for interest on any
monies at any time received by it pursuant to any of the provisions of this
Agreement nor shall it be obligated to segregate such monies from other monies

opinion, assured to it. The Warrant Agent shall not be accountable or under any
duty or responsibility for the application by the Company of any proceeds. The
Warrant Agent shall have no duty or responsibility in case of any default by
the Company in the performance of its covenants or agreements contained in this
Agreement or in any Warrant Certificate or the Global Warrant Certificate or in
the case of the receipt of any written demand from a holder of a Warrant with
respect to such default, including, without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, any duty or responsibility to initiate or attempt to initiate any
proceedings at law or otherwise or, except as provided in Section 6.02 hereof,
to make any demand upon the Company.

     SECTION 5.03. Resignation and Appointment of Successor. (a) The Company

     (b) The Warrant Agent may at any time resign as such agent by giving
written notice to the Company of such intention on its part, specifying the
date on which its desired resignation shall become effective, subject to the
appointment of a successor Warrant Agent and acceptance of such appointment by
such successor Warrant Agent as hereinafter provided. The Warrant Agent
hereunder may be removed at any time by the filing with it of an instrument in
writing signed by or on behalf of the Company and specifying such removal and
the date when it shall become effective. Such resignation or removal shall take
effect upon the appointment by the Company, as hereinafter provided, of a

acceptance of such appointment by such successor Warrant Agent. In the event a
successor Warrant Agent has not been appointed and accepted its duties within
90 days of the Warrant Agent's notice of resignation, the Warrant Agent may
apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for the designation of a successor
Warrant Agent. The obligation of the Company under Section 5.02(a) shall
continue to the extent set forth therein notwithstanding the resignation or
removal of the Warrant Agent.

     (c) In case at any time the Warrant Agent shall give notice of its intent
to resign, or shall be removed, or shall become incapable of acting, or shall
be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or make an assignment for the benefit of its
creditors, or consent to the appointment of a receiver or custodian of all or
any substantial part of its property, or shall admit in writing its inability
to pay or meet its debts as they mature, or if a receiver or custodian of it or
of all or any substantial part of its property shall be appointed, or if any
public officer shall have taken charge or control of the Warrant Agent or of
its property or affairs, for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or
liquidation, a successor Warrant Agent, qualified as aforesaid, shall be
promptly appointed by the Company by an instrument in writing, filed with the
successor Warrant Agent. Upon the appointment as aforesaid of a successor
Warrant Agent and acceptance by the latter of such appointment, the Warrant
Agent so superseded shall cease to be Warrant Agent hereunder.

     (d) Any successor Warrant Agent appointed hereunder shall execute,
acknowledge and deliver to its predecessor and to the Company an instrument
accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon such successor Warrant
Agent, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with
all the authority, rights, powers, trusts, immunities, duties and obligations
of such predecessor with like effect as if originally named as Warrant Agent
hereunder, and such predecessor, upon payment of its charges and disbursements
then unpaid, shall thereupon become obligated to transfer, deliver and pay
over, and such successor Warrant Agent shall be entitled to receive, all
monies, securities and other property on deposit with or held by such
predecessor (including, without limitation, the Warrant Register), as Warrant
Agent hereunder.

     (e) Any corporation into which the Warrant Agent hereunder may be merged
or converted or any corporation with which the Warrant Agent may be

ambiguity, or of curing, correcting or supplementing any defective or
inconsistent provision contained herein or therein or in any other manner which
the Company may deem necessary or desirable and which will not materially and
adversely affect the interests of the owners or holders of the Warrants.
Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6.01 to the contrary, this Agreement
may not be amended to provide for the countersigning by the Warrant Agent of

majority in number of the then outstanding Warrants affected by such
modification or amendment, for any purpose; provided, however, that no such
modification or amendment that [increases the strike level or base value, in
the case of call warrants] [decreases the strike level or base value, in the
case of put warrants], shortens the period of time during which the Warrants
may be exercised, or otherwise materially and adversely affects the exercise
rights of the Warrantholders or reduces the percentage of the number of
outstanding Warrants, the consent of whose holders is required for modification
or amendment of this Agreement, may be made without the consent of each
Warrantholder affected thereby. In the case of Warrants evidenced by a Global
Warrant Certificate, the Company and the Warrant Agent shall be entitled to
rely upon certification in form satisfactory to each of them that any requisite
consent has been obtained from holders of beneficial ownership interests in the
relevant Global Warrant Certificate. Such certification may be provided by

all permits, consents and approvals of governmental agencies and authorities
and the [exchange on which the Warrants are listed] or any successor national

Sections this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not control

                              [Title of Warrants]

     This Warrant Certificate certifies that _____, or registered assigns, is
the registered holder of ______________ [title of Warrants] (the "Warrants").
Upon receipt by the Warrant Agent of this Warrant Certificate and the Exercise
Notice on the reverse hereof (or an Exercise Notice in substantially identical
form delivered herewith), duly completed and executed, at the offices of the
Warrant Agent in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, each Warrant
evidenced hereby entitles the registered owner hereof (each a "Warrantholder")
to receive, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the
Warrant Agreement, from J.P. Morgan Chase & Co., the Cash Settlement Value in
[payment currency] (the "Cash Settlement Value") equal to [formula or method of
calculation for cash settlement value]; provided, however, that if such amount
is less than or equal to zero, then the Cash Settlement Value shall be zero. In
no event shall a Warrantholder be entitled to any interest on any Cash
Settlement Value.

     The Warrants will not entitle the Warrantholders to any of the rights of
the holder of any security underlying the Index (an "Underlying Security")
[alternative provision for indices not based on securities]. A Warrant will not
require or entitle the Warrantholder thereof to sell, deliver, purchase or take
delivery of any Underlying Security to or from the Company [alternative
provision for indices not based on securities], nor will the Company be under
any obligation to, nor will it, purchase or take delivery of, or sell or
deliver, any such security to or from Warrantholders.


<PAGE>


     Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Warrant
Agreement, each Warrant may be exercised, on any New York Business Day during
the period from its date of issuance until 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on
the earlier of (i) the New York Business Day immediately preceding the date,
established in or pursuant to a Board Resolution or Resolutions, upon which the
right to exercise the Warrants expires (the "Expiration Date") and (ii) any
Delisting Date (as defined herein). Any Warrant not exercised (including by
reason of any postponed exercise as described on the reverse hereof or in the
Warrant Agreement) at or before 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the earlier
of (i) the New York Business Day immediately preceding the Expiration Date and
(ii) any Delisting Date, will be automatically exercised.

     Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Warrant
Certificate set forth on the reverse hereof and such further provisions shall
for all purposes have the same effect as though fully set forth in this place.

     This Warrant Certificate shall not be valid unless countersigned by the
Warrant Agent.

                            J.P. MORGAN CHASE & CO.


     The Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate are part of a duly
authorized issue of Warrants issued by the Company pursuant to a Warrant
Agreement, dated as of ________________ (the "Warrant Agreement"), among the
Company, [_____________________] (the "Warrant Agent") and
[_____________________] (the "Determination Agent") and is subject to the terms
and provisions contained in the Warrant Agreement, to all of which terms and
provisions each Warrantholder consents by acceptance of this Warrant
Certificate and which Warrant Agreement is hereby incorporated by reference in
and made a part of this Warrant Certificate. A copy of the Warrant Agreement is
on file at the Warrant Agent's Office (as defined herein).

     The Warrants are unsecured contractual obligations of the Company and rank
on a parity with the Company's other unsecured contractual obligations and with
the Company's unsecured and unsubordinated debt.

     Subject to the provisions hereof and the Warrant Agreement, each Warrant
may be exercised during the period from its date of issuance until 3:00 p.m.,
New York City time, on the earlier of (i) the New York Business Day immediately
preceding the Expiration Date and (ii) any Delisting Date (as defined herein)
by delivering or causing to be delivered this Warrant Certificate and attached
Exercise Notice (or an Exercise Notice in substantially identical form), duly
completed and executed, to the Warrant Agent's offices in the Borough of
Manhattan, The City of New York (the "Warrant Agent's Office"), which are, on
the date hereof, located at [_____________________] or at such other address as
the Warrant Agent may specify from time to time.

     Each Warrant entitles the Warrantholder to receive, upon exercise
(including automatic exercise), the Cash Settlement Value of such Warrant,
except that, under the circumstances described below and in the Warrant
Agreement, such Warrantholder may instead receive the Alternative Settlement
Amount for such Warrant. The "Cash Settlement Value" of a Warrant shall be an
amount in [payment currency] equal to [formula or method of calculation for
cash settlement value]; provided, however, that if such amount is less than or
equal to zero, then the Cash Settlement Value shall be zero.

     [The "Strike Level" is _____ which was determined by the Determination
Agent and is [formula for strike level] [if applicable, the "Base


                                      A-4
<PAGE>


Value" is ____ which was determined by the Determination Agent and is [formula
for base value]].

     The Company has appointed [_____________________] to be its Determination
Agent to make such calculations as may be required upon the occurrence of
certain circumstances, as described in the Warrant Agreement and herein. The
Determination Agent shall act as an independent expert and not as an agent of
the Company, and, unless otherwise provided by the Warrant Agreement, its
calculations and determinations under the Warrant Agreement and this Warrant
Certificate shall, absent manifest error, be final and binding on the Company,
the Warrant Agent and the Warrantholders. Any such calculations will be made
available to a Warrantholder for inspection at the Warrant Agent's office. The
Determination Agent will have no responsibility for good faith errors or
omissions in calculating or disseminating information regarding the Index, any
Successor Index, adjustments or calculations by the Determination Agent in
order to arrive at a calculation of a stock index comparable to the Index or
any Successor Index, or the Cash Settlement Value or the Alternative Settlement
Amount, as applicable.

     In the event that the [Reference Index] is not published by the Index
Publisher but is published by another person not affiliated with the Company
and acceptable to the Company (the "Third Party"), then the Spot Value for any
date thereafter will be determined based on the closing level of the [Reference
Index] as published by such Third Party. If the Index Publisher or any Third
Party discontinues publication of the [Reference Index] and publishes a
successor or substitute index that the Company determines, in its sole
discretion, to be comparable to the [Reference Index] (any such index being a
"Successor Index"), then the Spot Value for any date thereafter will be
determined by the Determination Agent on behalf of the Company based on the
closing level of the Successor Index on such date. If the Index Publisher or
any Third Party makes a material change in the formula for, or the method of
calculating, the [Reference Index] or any Successor Index, the Determination
Agent shall make such calculations as may be required to determine the
applicable Cash Settlement Value using the formula and method of calculating
the Index or any Successor Index as in effect prior to such change or
modification. If the Index Publisher and/or any Third Party discontinues
publication of the [Reference Index] and/or any Successor Index, the
Determination Agent will determine the applicable Cash Settlement Value based
on the formula and method used in calculating the [Reference Index] or any
Successor Index as in effect on the date the [Reference Index] or such
Successor Index was last published.

     Except for Warrants subject to automatic exercise, or Warrants subject to
the Limit Option, the "Exercise Date" for a Warrant will be (i) the New York
Business Day on which the Warrant Agent receives the Warrant and Exercise


                                      A-5
<PAGE>


Notice in proper form with respect to such Warrant, if received at or prior to
3:00 P.M., New York City time, on such day, or (ii) if the Warrant Agent
receives such Warrant or Exercise Notice after 3:00 P.M., New York City time,
on a New York Business Day, then the next New York Business Day succeeding the
New York Business Day on which such Warrant or Exercise Notice is received. All
Warrants for which the Warrant Agent has not received a valid Exercise Notice
at or prior to 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on (i) the New York Business Day
immediately preceding the Expiration Date or (ii) any Delisting Date, as the
case may be, or for which the Warrant Agent has received a valid Exercise
Notice but with respect to which timely delivery of the relevant Warrants has
not been made, together with any Warrants the Valuation Date for which has at
such time been postponed as described below, will be automatically exercised.
The Exercise Date for such Warrants will be the Expiration Date or any
Delisting Date, as the case may be, or, if such date is not a New York Business
Day, the next succeeding New York Business Day. The Warrant Agent will obtain
the Spot Value (determined as of the first Index Calculation Day following such
date, which will be the Valuation Date for such Warrants except in the case of
a postponed exercise following the occurrence of an Extraordinary Event or an
Exercise Limitation Event) and will determine the Cash Settlement Value, if
any, of such Warrants.

     Subject to the Warrant Agreement and this Warrant Certificate, the
"Valuation Date" for a Warrant will be the first Index Calculation Day
following the applicable Exercise Date, subject to postponement upon the
occurrence of an Extraordinary Event or Exercise Limitation Event or as a
result of the exercise of a number of Warrants exceeding the limits on
exercise, all as described below. For purposes of this Certificate, "Index
Calculation Date" means any day the Index or any Successor Index is calculated
and published.

     All Warrants for which the Warrant Agent has not received a valid Exercise
Notice at or prior to 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on (i) the New York
Business Day immediately preceding the Expiration Date or (ii) any Delisting
Date, as the case may be, together with any Warrants the Valuation Date for
which has at such time been postponed as described below, will be automatically
exercised. The Exercise Date for such Warrants will be the Expiration Date or
any Delisting Date, as the case may be, or, if such date is not a New York
Business Day, the next succeeding New York Business Day. The Warrant Agent will
obtain the Spot Value (determined as of the first Index Calculation Date
following such date, which will be the Valuation Date for such Warrants except
in the case of a postponed exercise following the occurrence of an
Extraordinary Event or Exercise Limitation Event) and will determine the Cash
Settlement Value, if any, of such Warrants.


                                      A-6
<PAGE>


     If the Exercise Notice is not rejected as provided in the Warrant
Agreement, then the Warrant Agent or the Determination Agent, as the case may
be, will determine the Cash Settlement Value of the exercised Warrants in
accordance with the terms of the Warrant Agreement. Except in the case of
Warrants subject to automatic exercise and for Warrants that upon exercise
entitle the holder thereof to receive an Alternative Settlement Amount in lieu
of the Cash Settlement Value, if on any Valuation Date the Cash Settlement
Value for any Warrants then exercised would be zero, then the attempted
exercise of any such Warrants shall be void and of no effect and the Warrant
Certificate evidencing such Warrants will be returned to the registered holder
of the Warrant by first class mail at the Company's expense and such holder
shall be permitted to re- exercise such Warrants prior to the Expiration Date
or any Delisting Date, as the case may be.

     Except in the case of Warrants subject to automatic exercise and for
Warrants that upon exercise entitle the holder thereof to receive an
Alternative Settlement Amount in lieu of the Cash Settlement Value, if the
Company has made adequate funds available to the Warrant Agent in a timely
manner, which shall in no event be later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on
the fourth New York Business Day following the Valuation Date (or, if the
Valuation Date is not a New York Business Day, on the fourth New York Business
Day following the New York Business Day next succeeding the Valuation Date)
(the "Funding Date"), the Warrant Agent will be responsible for making payment
available to each Registered Holder of an exercised Warrant in the form of a
cashier's check or an official bank check, or (in the case of payments of at
least $100,000) by wire transfer to a U.S. dollar bank account maintained by
such registered holder in the United States (at the registered holder's
election as specified in the Exercise Notice) after 3:00 p.m. New York City
time but prior to the close of business on the first New York Business Day
immediately succeeding such Funding Date against receipt by the Warrant Agent
at the Warrant Agent's office of such Registered Holder's Warrant Certificates.

     With respect to automatically exercised Warrants, if the Company has made
adequate funds available to the Warrant Agent not later than 3:00 p.m., New
York City time, on the fourth New York Business Day following the Valuation
Date for automatically exercised Warrants (or, if such Valuation Date is not a
New York Business Day, on the fourth New York Business Day following the New
York Business Day next succeeding such Valuation Date) (in any such case, the
"Automatic Funding Date"), funds in an amount equal to, and for the payment of,
the aggregate Cash Settlement Value of such Warrants, the Warrant Agent will
thereafter be responsible for making payment available to each Registered
Holder of the Warrants in the form of a cashier's check or an official bank
check, or (in the case of payments of at least $100,000) by wire transfer to a
U.S. dollar bank


                                      A-7
<PAGE>


account maintained by such holder in the United States (at such holder's
election and upon proper notice being given to the Company and the Warrant
Agent), after 3:00 p.m., New York City time, but prior to the close of business
on the Automatic Funding Date, against receipt by the Warrant Agent at the
Warrant Agent's Office of such Registered Holder's Warrant Certificates. Such
payment shall be in the amount equal to the aggregate Cash Settlement Value of
the Warrants evidenced by such Warrant Certificates.

     Anything in the Warrant Agreement or in this Warrant Certificate to the
contrary notwithstanding, if the Company determines that an Extraordinary Event
or an Exercise Limitation Event has occurred and is continuing on the Home
Country Business Day (as defined herein) with respect to which the Spot Value
on a Valuation Date is to be determined (the "Applicable Home Country Business
Day"), then the Cash Settlement Value in respect of an exercise shall be
calculated on the basis that the Valuation Date shall be the next Index
Calculation Day following an Applicable Home Country Business Day on which
there is no Extraordinary Event or Exercise Limitation Event; provided that, if
the Valuation Date has not occurred on or prior to the Expiration Date or any
Delisting Date, Warrantholders will receive the Alternative Settlement Amount
in lieu of the Cash Settlement Value which shall be calculated as if the
Warrants had been canceled on the Expiration Date or any Delisting Date, as the
case may be. The term "Home Country Business Day" means any day other than a
day on which the principal trading market for the Underlying Securities is not
open for securities trading [other provisions if the principal trading markets
for the Underlying Securities are in more than one country] [alternative
provision for indices not based on securities].

     Upon the occurrence of an Extraordinary Event or an Exercise Limitation
Event, the Company shall use its best efforts to notify the Warrant Agent and
the Determination Agent promptly that an Extraordinary Event or Exercise
Limitation Event, as the case may be, has occurred and shall promptly give
notice to the Warrantholders by publication in a United States newspaper with a
national circulation that an Extraordinary Event or an Exercise Limitation
Event has occurred.

     If the Company determines that an Extraordinary Event or an Exercise
Limitation Event has occurred and is continuing on the Expiration Date or on
any Delisting Date, the Company shall so notify the Warrant Agent and the
Determination Agent, and the Cash Settlement Value with respect to the
exercised Warrants shall be equal to, and be calculated in the same manner as,
an "Alternative Settlement Amount", in accordance with the Warrant Agreement
(treating the Expiration Date or any Delisting Date, as the case may be, as the
date on which the Warrants were canceled.


                                      A-8
<PAGE>


     If the Company determines that an Extraordinary Event has occurred and is
continuing, and if the Extraordinary Event is expected by the Company to
continue, the Company may immediately cancel the Warrants by notifying the
Warrant Agent of such cancellation (the date such notice is given being the
"Cancellation Date"), and each Warrantholder's rights under the Warrants and
the Warrant Agreement shall thereupon cease; provided, that each Warrant shall
be exercised (even if such Warrant would not otherwise be exercisable on such
date because of the Limit Option) on the basis that the Valuation Date for such
Warrant shall be the Cancellation Date and the holder of each such Warrant
shall have the right to receive, in lieu of the Cash Settlement Value of such
Warrant an amount (the "Alternative Settlement Amount"), determined by the
Determination Agent.

     With respect to all Warrant Certificates as to which the Valuation Date
has been postponed or which have been canceled as described above, if the
Company has made adequate funds available to the Warrant Agent not later than
3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third New York Business Day following the
date on which the Cash Settlement Value or Alternative Settlement Amount, as
the case may be, has been calculated (the "Alternative Funding Date"), the
Warrant Agent will thereafter be responsible for making payment available to
each Registered Holder of the Warrants that submitted a Warrant Certificate
(and in the case of cancellation to each Registered Holder) in the form of a
cashier's check or an official bank check, or (in the case of payments of at
least $100,000) by wire transfer to a U.S. dollar bank account maintained by
such holder in the United States (at such holder's election and upon proper
notice being given to the Company and the Warrant Agent), after 3:00 p.m., New
York City time, but prior to the close of business on the Alternative Funding
Date, against receipt by the Warrant Agent at the Warrant Agent's Office of
such Registered Holder's Warrant Certificates. Such payment shall be in the
amount equal to the aggregate Cash Settlement Value or Alternative Settlement
Amount, as the case may be, of the Warrants evidenced by such Warrant
Certificates.

     The "Alternative Settlement Amount" shall be an amount, determined by the
Determination Agent, which is equal to the amount "X" calculated using the
formula set forth below:

     X = I + (T/2 x A/B)

     where

     I = the Cash Settlement Value of the Warrants determined as
         described above, but calculated with a Spot Value determined
         by the Determination Agent which, subject to approval by the
         Company


                                      A-9
<PAGE>



         (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld), in the
         reasonable opinion of the Determination Agent, fairly
         reflects the value of the Underlying Securities [alternative
         provision for indices not based on securities] on the
         Cancellation Date, Expiration Date or Delisting Date,
         whichever has given rise to the payment of the Alternative
         Settlement Amount;

     T = the initial offering price per Warrant;

     A = the total number of days from but excluding the
         Cancellation Date, Expiration Date or Delisting Date,
         whichever has given rise to the payment of the Alternative
         Settlement Amount for such Warrants, to and including the
         Expiration Date; and

     B = the total number of days from, but excluding the date on
         which sales of the Warrants were initially confirmed, to and
         including the Expiration Date.

     For purposes of determining "I" in the above formula, in the event that
the Determination Agent and the Company are required, but have not, after good
faith consultation with each other and within five days following the first day
upon which such Alternative Settlement Amount may be calculated in accordance
with the above formula, agreed upon a Spot Value which fairly reflects the
value of the Underlying Securities [alternative provision for indices not based
on securities] on the Cancellation Date, Expiration Date or Delisting Date,
whichever gives rise to the payment of the Alternative Settlement Amount then
the Determination Agent shall promptly nominate a third party, subject to
approval by the Company (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld), to
determine such figure and calculate the Alternative Settlement Amount in
accordance with the above formula. Such party shall act as an independent
expert and not as an agent of the Company or the Determination Agent, and its
calculation and determination of the Alternative Settlement Amount shall,
absent manifest error, be final and binding on the Company, the Warrant Agent,
the Determination Agent and the Warrantholders. Any such calculations will be
made available to a Warrantholder for inspection at the Warrant Agent's Office.
Neither the Company nor such third party shall have any responsibility for good
faith errors or omissions in calculating the Alternative Settlement Amount.

     "Extraordinary Event" means any of the following events:


                                      A-10
<PAGE>


          (i) a suspension or absence of trading on [principal market in which
     the Underlying Securities are traded] [other provisions if there is more
     than one principal trading market for the Underlying Securities]
     [alternative provision for indices not based on securities] of all of the
     Underlying Securities which then comprise the [Reference Index] or a
     Successor Index;

          (ii) the enactment, publication, decree or other promulgation of any
     statute, regulation, rule or order of any court or any other U.S. or non-
     U.S. governmental authority that would make it unlawful for the Company to
     perform any of its obligations under the Warrant Agreement or the Warrants
     or that has or will have a material adverse effect on the ability of the
     Company to perform its obligations under the Warrants or to modify the
     hedge of its position with respect to the [Reference Index]; or

          (iii) any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or other national or
     international calamity or crisis (including, without limitation, natural
     calamities that in the opinion of the Company may materially and adversely
     affect the economy of [country of principal market in which the Underlying
     Securities are traded] or the trading of securities generally on the
     [principal market in which the Underlying Securities are traded]) that has
     or will have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Company to
     perform its obligations under the Warrants or to modify the hedge of its
     position with respect to the [Reference Index].

     For the purposes of determining whether an Extraordinary Event has
occurred: (1) a limitation on the hours or number of days of trading will not
constitute an Extraordinary Event if it results from an announced change in the
regular business hours of the [principal market in which the Underlying
Securities are traded] and (2) an "absence of trading" on the [principal market
in which the Underlying Securities are traded] will not include any time when
the [principal market in which the Underlying Securities are traded] is closed
for trading under ordinary circumstances.

     "Exercise Limitation Event" means either of the following events:

          (i) a suspension, material limitation or absence of trading on the
     [principal market in which the Underlying Securities are traded] of (a)
     [___]% or more of the Underlying Securities and/or (b) the securities of
     [percentage or number] of the most highly capitalized companies included
     in the Underlying Securities which then comprise the [Reference Index] or
     a Successor Index; or


                                      A-11
<PAGE>


          [(ii) the suspension or material limitation on the [relevant futures
     exchange(s) with respect to the Underlying Securities)] or any other major
     futures or securities market of trading in futures or options contracts
     related to the [other relevant index], the [Reference Index] or a
     Successor Index.]

     For the purposes of determining whether an Exercise Limitation Event has
occurred: (1) a limitation on the hours or number of days of trading will not
constitute an Exercise Limitation Event if it results from an announced change
in the regular business hours of the relevant market or exchange, [(2) a
decision to permanently discontinue trading in the relevant futures or options
contract will not constitute an Exercise Limitation Event,] (3) a suspension in
trading in an Underlying Security [or in a futures or options contract]
referred to in clause[s] ) [and (ii)] above, by reason of (x) a price change
violating limits set by the [principal market in which the Underlying
Securities are traded] [or the relevant futures exchange(s) with respect to the
Underlying Securities] or such [futures or] securities market, (y) an imbalance
of orders relating to an Underlying Security [or such contracts] or (z) a
disparity in bid and ask quotes relating to an Underlying Security [or such
contracts], will constitute a suspension or material limitation of trading, (4)
an "absence of trading" in the [principal market in which the Underlying
Securities are traded] will not include any time when the [principal market in
which the Underlying Securities are traded] is closed for trading under
ordinary circumstances and (5) the occurrence of an Extraordinary Event
described in clause ) of the definition of Extraordinary Event will not
constitute, and will supersede the occurrence of, an Exercise Limitation Event.

     All exercises of Warrants (other than on automatic exercise or upon
cancellation) are subject, at the Company's option, to the limitation that not
more than [limit on aggregate number of Warrants to be exercised on any day]
Warrants in total may be exercised on any Exercise Date and not more than
[individual limit] Warrants may be exercised by or on behalf of any beneficial
owner, either individually or in concert with any other beneficial owner, on
any Exercise Date. If any New York Business Day would otherwise, under the
terms hereof, be the Exercise Date in respect of more than [limit on aggregate
number of Warrants to be exercised on any day] Warrants, then at the Company's
election (by giving notice thereof to the Warrant Agent not later than 11:00
a.m., New York City time, on the New York Business Day immediately following
such Exercise Date), [limit on aggregate number of Warrants to be exercised on
any day] of such Warrants shall be deemed exercised on such Exercise Date
(selected by the Warrant Agent on a pro rata basis, but if, as a result of such
pro rata selection, any Registered Holders of Warrants would be deemed to have
exercised less than [minimum exercise amount] Warrants, then the Warrant


                                      A-12
<PAGE>


Agent shall first select an additional amount of such holders' Warrants so that
no holder shall be deemed to have exercised less than [minimum exercise amount]
Warrants), and the remainder of such Warrants (the "Remaining Warrants") shall
be deemed exercised on the following New York Business Day (notwithstanding the
provisions of the Warrant Agreement); provided that in the event that the
aggregate number of such Remaining Warrants, together with any additional
Warrants with respect to which the Exercise Date would be such following New
York Business Day, exceeds [limit on aggregate number of Warrants to be
exercised on any day] the provisions of this paragraph all apply to the
exercise of such Remaining Warrants and such additional Warrants on such
following New York Business Day and successively until the limitations set
forth in this paragraph d in the Warrant Agreement are no longer exceeded;
provided further, that any such Remaining Warrants shall be deemed exercised
before any such additional Warrants.

     If any beneficial owner of Warrants attempts to exercise more than
[individual limit] Warrants on any New York Business Day, then at the Company's
election (as notified to the Warrant Agent by giving notice thereof to the
Warrant Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the New York
Business Day following such New York Business Day), [individual limit] of such
Warrants shall be deemed exercised on such New York Business Day and the
remainder of such Warrants shall be deemed exercised on the following New York
Business Day (notwithstanding any inconsistent provisions in the Warrant
Agreement); provided that in the event that the aggregate number of such
remaining Warrants, together with any additional Warrants of such beneficial
owner with respect to which the Exercise Date would be such following New York
Business Day, exceeds [individual limit], at the Company's election (as
notified in the manner described above), the provisions of this paragraph all
apply to the exercise of such remaining Warrants and such additional Warrants
on such following New York Business Day and successively until the limitations
set forth in this paragraph d in the Warrant Agreement are no longer exceeded;
provided further, that any such remaining Warrants shall be deemed exercised
before any such additional Warrants of such beneficial owner. The date on which
any Warrant is deemed exercised under the preceding sentences shall for all
purposes of this Warrant Certificate be deemed to be the "Exercise Date" in
respect of such Warrants.

     Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer, the Company, the
Warrant Agent, and any agent of the Company or the Warrant Agent, may deem and
treat the registered owner hereof as the absolute owner of the Warrants
evidenced hereby (notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing
hereon) for any purpose whatsoever, and as the person entitled to exercise the
rights represented by the Warrants evidenced hereby, and neither the Company


                                      A-13
<PAGE>


nor the Warrant Agent, nor any agent of the Company or the Warrant Agent, shall
be affected by any notice to the contrary.

     The Warrant Agent will, in accordance with the Warrant Agreement, from
time to time register the transfer of this Warrant Certificate upon surrender
hereof at the Warrant Agent's Office accompanied by a written instrument or
instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Warrant Agent duly executed
by, the registered holder(s) hereof, a duly appointed legal representative or
duly authorized attorney. Such signature must be guaranteed by a bank or trust
company having a correspondent office in New York City or by a broker or dealer
which is a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (the
"NASD") or by a member of a national securities exchange. A new Warrant
Certificate shall be issued to the transferee(s) upon any such registration of
transfer, and this Warrant Certificate shall be canceled by the Warrant Agent.

     In order to be exchanged for a Warrant in book-entry form, a Warrant
Certificate must be delivered to DTC, in proper form for deposit, by a
Participant. Accordingly, unless Warrants are purchased in book-entry form, a
Warrantholder who is not a Participant must deliver his Warrant Certificate, in
proper form for deposit, to a Participant, either directly or through an
indirect participant (such as a bank, brokerage firm, dealer or trust company
that clears through, or maintains a custodial relationship with, a Participant)
or brokerage firm which maintains an account with a Participant, in order to
have its Warrant Certificate exchanged for a Warrant in book-entry form.

     Warrant Certificates received by The Depository Trust Company ("DTC") for
exchange will be exchanged for Warrants in book-entry form by the close of
business on the New York Business Day that such Certificates are received by
DTC (if received by DTC at its then applicable cut-off time for same day
credit) or on the following New York Business Day (if received by DTC at its
then applicable cut-off time for next day credit). Warrants surrendered at any
time for exchange for book-entry Warrants may not be exercised or delivered for
settlement or transfer until such exchange has been effected. The Company has
been informed by Clearstream and Euroclear that such clearing agencies will
clear Warrants in book-entry form and that Warrants may not be held in
certificated form through their facilities. Once a Warrantholder has elected to
exchange for a Warrant in book-entry form, such Warrantholder may hold his
Warrants only in book-entry form and will not be able to change his election or
withdraw from the book-entry system thereafter except as provided in the
Warrant Agreement.

     Except for Warrants subject to automatic exercise and with respect to
payments of any Alternative Settlement Amount, each Warrantholder, in
connection with any exercise of Warrants (including a postponed exercise


                                      A-14
<PAGE>


following an Extraordinary Event or an Exercise Limitation Event), will have
the option (the "Limit Option") to specify that such Warrants are not to be
exercised if the Spot Value that would otherwise be used to determine the Cash
Settlement Value of such Warrants is [minimum number of points] or more points
[lower in the case of call warrants] [higher in the case of put warrants]
[formula] than the closing level of the [Reference Index] for the day specified
below (such closing level, the "Limit Option Reference Index Value"). A
Warrantholder's election of the Limit Option must be specified in the
applicable Exercise Notice delivered to the Warrant Agent. The Limit Option
Reference Index Value will be the closing level of the [Reference Index] on the
relevant Exercise Date (or if such day is not an Index Calculation Day, on the
immediately preceding Index Calculation Day). If an Exercise Notice and the
related Warrants are received after 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on a given
day, the applicable Limit Option Reference Index Value will be determined as of
the next day that is also a New York Business Day (or, if such day is not an
Index Calculation Day, as of the immediately preceding Index Calculation Day).

     Following receipt of an Exercise Notice and the related Warrants subject
to the Limit Option, the Warrant Agent will obtain the applicable Limit Option
Reference Index Value and will determine whether such Warrants will not be
exercised because of the Limit Option. Warrants that are not exercised will be
treated as not having been tendered for exercise and the Warrant Certificate
evidencing such Warrants will be returned to the registered holder by first
class mail at the Company's expense. To exercise such Warrants, a Warrantholder
will be required to cause an Exercise Notice and the related Warrants to be
submitted again to the Warrant Agent. In the case of a postponed Valuation
Date, the Limit Option will continue to apply once elected by a Warrantholder
in connection with an exercise of Warrants on the basis of the Limit Option
Reference Index Value as initially determined for such Warrants, except when
such Valuation Date is postponed until the Expiration Date, any Delisting Date
or the Cancellation Date. Such Warrants will either (i) be exercised on a
delayed basis if the applicable Spot Value on the postponed Valuation Date is
not [minimum number of points] or more points [less in the case of call
warrants] [more in the case of put warrants] [formula] than the Limit Option
Reference Index Value or (ii) be excluded from being exercised if, on any
applicable postponed Valuation Date, the applicable Spot Value is [minimum
number of points] or more points [less in the case of call warrants] [more in
the case of put warrants] [formula] than the Limit Option Reference Index
Value. In connection with any exercise of [double the minimum exercise amount]
or more Warrants, a Warrantholder may elect to subject the exercise of only a
portion of such Warrants to the Limit Option, provided that the number of
Warrants subject to the Limit Option and the number of Warrants not subject to
the Limit Option shall in each case not be less than [the minimum exercise
amount].

     As provided in the Warrant Agreement and subject to certain limitations,
this Warrant Certificate may be exchanged for other Warrant Certificates,
representing a like number of Warrants, upon surrender to the Warrant Agent at
the Warrant Agent's Office of this Warrant Certificate. The Company will
thereupon execute, and the Warrant Agent will countersign and deliver, one or
more new Warrant Certificates representing such like number of Warrants. Upon
surrender of this Warrant Certificate for exchange, the Warrant Agent shall
cancel this Warrant Certificate.

     No service charge will be made for any registration of transfer or
exchange of this Warrant Certificate, but the Company may require the payment
of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed
in relation thereto, other than exchanges not involving any transfer.

     Capitalized terms included herein but not defined herein have the meanings
assigned thereto in the Warrant Agreement.

     For purposes of this Certificate, the "Index" means the [Reference Index]
and the "Spot Value" for any date means the closing level on such date of the
[Reference Index]. References herein to "U.S. dollar," "U.S.$" or "$" are to
the lawful currency of the United States of America [and, references to [other
currency] are to the lawful currency of [country of the principal trading
market of the Underlying Securities]] [alternative provision for indices not
based on securities] [other provision if the principal trading markets of the
Underlying Securities are in more than one country] [alternative provision for
indices not based on securities]. As used herein, "New York Business Day" means
any day other than a Saturday or a Sunday or a day on which either the American
Stock Exchange or the New York Stock Exchange is not open for securities
trading or commercial banks in New York City are required or authorized by law
or executive order to remain closed. As used herein, "Index Calculation Day"
means any day on which the [Reference Index] or any Successor Index is
calculated and published.

     The Warrant Agreement and the terms of the Warrants are subject to
amendment, as provided in the Warrant Agreement.

     This Warrant Certificate shall be governed by, and interpreted in
accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

                       FORM OF GLOBAL WARRANT CERTIFICATE

No.

CUSIP No.

     Unless this Global Warrant Certificate is presented by an authorized
representative of The Depository Trust Company (55 Water Street, New York, New
York) to the Company or its agent for registration of transfer, exchange or
payment, and any certificate issued is registered in the name of Cede & Co. or
such other name as requested by an authorized representative of The Depository
Trust Company and any payment is made to Cede & Co., ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR
OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL since
the registered owner hereof, Cede & Co., has an interest herein.

                            J.P. MORGAN CHASE & CO.
                    Global Warrant Certificate Representing

                            [Title of the Warrants]

     This Warrant Certificate certifies that CEDE & CO., or registered assigns,
is the registered holder of the number of [title of the Warrants] (the
"Warrants") set forth from time to time on Schedule hereto. Each Warrant
entitles the beneficial owner thereof (each a "Warrantholder") to receive,
subject to the conditions set forth herein and in the Warrant Agreement, from
J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. (the "Company") the Cash Settlement Value in [payment
currency] (the "Cash Settlement Value") equal to [formula or method of
calculation for cash settlement value]; provided, however, that if such amount
is less than or equal to zero, then the Cash Settlement Value shall be zero. In
no event shall a Warrantholder be entitled to any interest on any Cash
Settlement Value.

     The Warrants will not entitle the Warrantholders to any of the rights of
the holder of any security underlying the Index (an "Underlying Security")
[alternative provision for indices not based on securities]. A Warrant will not
require or entitle the Warrantholder thereof to sell, deliver, purchase or take
delivery of any Underlying Security to or from the Company [alternative
provision for indices not based on securities], nor will the Company be under


                                     A-1-1
<PAGE>


any obligation to, nor will it, purchase or take delivery of, or sell or
deliver, any such security to or from Warrantholders.

     Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Warrant
Agreement, each Warrant may be exercised, on any New York Business Day during
the period from its date of issuance until 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on
the earlier of (i) the New York Business Day immediately preceding the date,
established in or pursuant to a Board Resolution or Resolutions, upon which the
right to exercise the Warrants expires (the "Expiration Date") and (ii) any
Delisting Date (as defined herein). Any Warrant not exercised (including by
reason of any postponed exercise as described herein and in the Warrant
Agreement) at or before 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the earlier of (i)
the New York Business Day immediately preceding the Expiration Date and (ii)
any Delisting Date, will be automatically exercised.

     This Global Warrant Certificate shall not be valid unless countersigned by
the Warrant Agent.

     The Warrants evidenced by this Global Warrant Certificate are part of a
duly authorized issue of Warrants issued by the Company pursuant to a Warrant
Agreement, dated as of ________________ (the "Warrant Agreement"), among the
Company, [_____________________] (the "Warrant Agent") and
[_____________________] (the "Determination Agent") and is subject to the terms
and provisions contained in the Warrant Agreement, to all of which terms and
provisions each Warrantholder, the entities through which such Warrantholders
hold their beneficial interests in the Warrants and the Registered Holder of
this Global Warrant Certificate consent by acceptance of this Global Warrant
Certificate by the Depository and which Warrant Agreement is hereby
incorporated by reference in and made a part of this Global Warrant
Certificate. A copy of the Warrant Agreement is on file at the Warrant Agent's
Office (as defined herein).

     The Warrants are unsecured contractual obligations of the Company and rank
on a parity with the Company's other unsecured contractual obligations and with
the Company's unsecured and unsubordinated debt.

     Subject to the provisions hereof and the Warrant Agreement, each Warrant
represented by this Global Warrant Certificate (each a "Book-Entry Warrant")
may be exercised until 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the earlier of (i) the
New York Business Day immediately preceding the Expiration Date and (ii) any
Delisting Date (as defined herein), by causing (x) such Warrant to be
transferred free to the Warrant Agent on the records of the Depository in
accordance with the Depository's Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian procedures and
(y) a duly


                                     A-1-2
<PAGE>


completed and executed Exercise Notice to be received by the Warrant Agent from
a Participant acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of the Warrantholder;
provided, however, that Exercise Notices are subject to rejection by the
Warrant Agent as provided herein and in the Warrant Agreement.

     In the case of Book-Entry Warrants held through the facilities of
Clearstream or Euroclear, a Warrantholder may exercise each Warrant on any New
York Business Day until 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the earlier of (i)
the New York Business Day immediately preceding the Expiration Date and (ii)
any Delisting Date by causing (x) such Warrant to be transferred to the Warrant
Agent (in accordance with the preceding paragraph), giving appropriate
instructions either to Clearstream or to the participant holding his Warrants
in Euroclear, as the case may be, and (y) a duly completed and executed
Exercise Notice to be delivered on behalf of the Warrantholder by Clearstream,
in the case of Warrants held through Clearstream, or such participant, in the
case of Warrants held through Euroclear, to the Warrant Agent.

     Each Warrant entitles the Warrantholder to receive, upon exercise
(including automatic exercise), the Cash Settlement Value of such Warrant,
except that, under the circumstances described below and in the Warrant
Agreement, such Warrantholder may instead receive the Alternative Settlement
Amount for such Warrant. The "Cash Settlement Value" of a Warrant shall be an
amount in [payment currency] equal to [formula or method of calculation for
Cash Settlement Value]; provided, however, that if such amount is less than or
equal to zero, then the Cash Settlement Value shall be zero.

     [The Strike Level is which was determined by the Determination Agent and
is [formula for Strike Level] [if applicable, the Base Value is which was
determined by the Determination Agent and is [formula for base value]].

     The Company has appointed [_____________________] to be its Determination
Agent, to make such calculations as may be required upon the occurrence of
certain circumstances, as described in the Warrant Agreement and herein. The
Determination Agent shall act as an independent expert and not as an agent of
the Company, and, unless otherwise provided by the Warrant Agreement, its
calculations and determinations under the Warrant Agreement and this Global
Warrant Certificate shall, absent manifest error, be final and binding on the
Company, the Warrant Agent and the Warrantholders. Any such calculations will
be made available to a Warrantholder for inspection at the Warrant Agent's
office. The Determination Agent will have no responsibility for good faith
errors or omissions in calculating or disseminating information regarding the
Index, any Successor Index, adjustments or calculations by the Determination
Agent in order


                                     A-1-3
<PAGE>


to arrive at a calculation of a stock index comparable to the Index or any
Successor Index, or the Cash Settlement Value or the Alternative Settlement
Amount, as applicable.

     In the event that the [Reference Index] is not published by the Index
Publisher but is published by another person not affiliated with the Company
and acceptable to the Company (a "Third Party"), then the Spot Value for any
date thereafter will be determined based on the closing level of the [Reference
Index] as published by such Third Party. If the Index Publisher or any Third
Party discontinues publication of the [Reference Index] and publishes a
successor or substitute index that the Company determines, in its sole
discretion, to be comparable to the [Reference Index] (any such index being a
"Successor Index"), then the Spot Value for any date thereafter will be
determined by the Determination Agent on behalf of the Company based on the
closing level of the Successor Index on such date. If the Index Publisher or
any Third Party makes a material change in the formula for, or the method of
calculating, the [Reference Index] or any Successor Index, the Determination
Agent shall make such calculations as may be required to determine the
applicable Cash Settlement Value using the formula and method of calculating
the Index or any Successor Index as in effect prior to such change or
modification. If the Index Publisher and/or any Third Party discontinues
publication of the [Reference Index] and/or any Successor Index, the
Determination Agent will determine the applicable Cash Settlement Value based
on the formula and method used in calculating the [Reference Index] or any
Successor Index as in effect on the date the [Reference Index] or such
Successor Index was last published.

     Except for Warrants subject to automatic exercise or Warrants held through
the facilities of Clearstream or Euroclear, or Warrants subject to the Limit
Option, the "Exercise Date" for a Warrant means (i) the New York Business Day
on which the Warrant Agent receives the Warrant and Exercise Notice in proper
form with respect to such Warrant, if received at or prior to 3:00 P.M., New
York City time, on such day, or (ii) if the Warrant Agent receives such Warrant
or Exercise Notice after 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on a New York Business
Day, then the next New York Business Day succeeding the New York Business Day
on which such Warrant or Exercise Notice is received. In the case of Warrants
held through the facilities of Clearstream or Euroclear, except for Warrants
subject to automatic exercise and except for Warrants subject to the Limit
Option, the "Exercise Date" for a Warrant means (i) the New York Business Day
on which the Warrant Agent receives (by facsimile transmission) the Exercise
Notice in proper form with respect to such Warrant if such Exercise Notice is
received at or prior to 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on such day, provided,
that the Warrant being exercised is received by the Warrant Agent by 3:00 P.M.,
New York City time, on the New York Business Day next succeeding


                                     A-1-4
<PAGE>


the date on which the exercise notice is received, or (ii) if the Warrant Agent
receives such Exercise Notice after 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on a New
York Business Day, then the New York Business Day succeeding such New York
Business Day, provided that such day will be the Exercise Date only if the
Warrant being exercised is received by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the
second succeeding New York Business Day following the New York Business Day on
which the Exercise Notice is received. In the event that the Warrant being
exercised is received after 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the New York
Business Day next succeeding the date on which the Exercise Notice is received,
then the Exercise Date for such Warrant will be the day on which such Warrant
is received or, if such day is not a New York Business Day, the next succeeding
New York Business Day. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of the
exercise of a Warrant by a Clearstream or Euroclear participant, Clearstream or
Euroclear, as the case may be, must by facsimile transmission to the Warrant
Agent by 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the New York Business Day next
succeeding the Exercise Date confirm (an "Account Confirmation") that the
Warrants being exercised will be received by the Warrant Agent by 3:00 p.m.,
New York City time, on such date, provided, further, that if such Account
Confirmation is received after 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the New York
Business Day next succeeding the Exercise Date, the Company will be entitled to
direct the Warrant Agent to reject the related Exercise Notice or waive the
requirement for timely delivery of such Account Confirmation.

     Subject to the Warrant Agreement and this Global Warrant Certificate, the
"Valuation Date" for a Warrant will be the first Index Calculation Date
following the applicable Exercise Date, subject to postponement upon the
occurrence of an Extraordinary Event or Exercise Limitation Event or as a
result of the exercise of a number of Warrants exceeding the limits on
exercise, all as described below. For purposes of this Global Warrant
Certificate, "Index Calculation Date" means any day the Index or any Successor
Index is calculated and published.

     All Warrants for which the Warrant Agent has not received a valid Exercise
Notice at or prior to 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on (i) the New York
Business Day immediately preceding the Expiration Date or (ii) any Delisting
Date, as the case may be, or for which the Warrant Agent has received a valid
Exercise Notice but with respect to which timely delivery of the relevant
Warrants has not been made together with any Warrants the Valuation Date for
which has at such time been postponed as described below, will be automatically
exercised. The Exercise Date for such Warrants will be the Expiration Date or
any Delisting Date, as the case may be, or, if such date is not a New York
Business Day, the next succeeding New York Business Day. The Warrant Agent will
obtain the Spot Value (determined as of the first Index Calculation Date
following such date, which will be the Valuation Date for such Warrants except
in the case of a


                                     A-1-5
<PAGE>


postponed exercise following the occurrence of an Extraordinary Event or
Exercise Limitation Event) and will determine the Cash Settlement Value, if
any, of such Warrants.

     If the Exercise Notice is not rejected as provided in the Warrant
Agreement, then the Warrant Agent or the Determination Agent, as the case may
be, will determine the Cash Settlement Value of the exercised Warrants in
accordance with the terms of the Warrant Agreement. Except in the case of
Warrants subject to automatic exercise and except for Warrants that upon
exercise entitle the holder thereof to receive an Alternative Settlement Amount
in lieu of the Cash Settlement Value, if on any Valuation Date the Cash
Settlement Value for any Warrants then exercised would be zero, then in such
case, the attempted exercise of such Warrants shall be void and of no effect
and the Warrants will be transferred by the Warrant Agent back to the
Participant that submitted them free on the records of the Depository (to the
extent received, in the case of Warrants held through Clearstream or Euroclear)
and, in either case such Warrantholder shall be permitted to re-exercise such
Warrants prior to the Expiration Date or any Delisting Date, as the case may
be.

     Except in the case of Warrants subject to automatic exercise and except
for Warrants that upon exercise entitle the holder thereof to receive an
Alternative Settlement Amount in lieu of the Cash Settlement Value, if the
Company has made adequate funds available to the Warrant Agent in a timely
manner, which shall in no event be later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on
the fourth New York Business Day following a Valuation Date (or, if the
Valuation Date is not a New York Business Day, on the fourth New York Business
Day following the New York Business Day next succeeding the Valuation Date)
(the "Funding Date"), the Warrant Agent will be responsible for making payment
available to each appropriate Participant in the form of a cashier's check or
an official bank check, or (in the case of payments of at least $100,000) by
wire transfer to a U.S. Dollar account maintained by such Participant in the
United States (at the Participant's election as specified in the Exercise
Notice), after 3:00 p.m., New York City time, but prior to the close of
business, on the first New York Business Day immediately succeeding such
Funding Date. For either clause ) or (ii) above, such payment shall be in the
amount of the aggregate Cash Settlement Value in respect of the Warrant
Certificates or Warrants that were delivered to the Warrant Agent (together
with the related Exercise Notice) as provided in the Warrant Agreement.

     With respect to automatically exercised Warrants, if the Company has made
adequate funds available to the Warrant Agent, not later than 3:00 p.m., New
York City time, on the fourth New York Business Day following the Valuation
Date for automatically exercised Warrants (or if such Valuation Day is


                                     A-1-6
<PAGE>


not a New York Business Day, on the fourth New York Business Day following the
New York Business Day next succeeding such Valuation Date) (in any such case
the "Automatic Funding Date"), funds in an amount equal to, and for the payment
of, the aggregate Cash Settlement Value of such Warrants, the Warrant Agent
will thereafter be responsible for making funds available to the Depository,
against receipt of the Global Warrant Certificate, after 3:00 p.m., New York
City time, but prior to the close of business, on the Automatic Funding Date.
Such funds are to be in an amount equal to the aggregate Cash Settlement Value
of the Warrants subject to such automatic exercise.

     Anything in this Global Warrant Certificate or in the Warrant Agreement to
the contrary notwithstanding, if the Company determines that an Extraordinary
Event or Exercise Limitation Event has occurred and is continuing on the Home
Country Business Day (as defined herein) with respect to which the Spot Value
on a Valuation Date is to be determined (the "Applicable Home Country Business
Day"), then the Cash Settlement Value in respect of an exercise shall be
calculated on the basis that the Valuation Date shall be the next Index
Calculation Day following an Applicable Home Country Business Day on which
there is no Extraordinary Event or Exercise Limitation Event; provided, that,
if the Valuation Date has not occurred on or prior to the Expiration Date or
any Delisting Date, Warrantholders shall receive the Alternative Settlement
Amount in lieu of the Cash Settlement Value, which shall be calculated as if
the Warrants had been canceled on the Expiration Date or any Delisting Date, as
the case may be. The term "Home Country Business Day" means any day other than
a day on which the principal trading market for the Underlying Securities is
not open for securities trading [other provisions if the principal trading
markets for the Underlying Securities are in more than one country]
[alternative provision for indices not based on securities].

     Upon the occurrence of an Extraordinary Event or an Exercise Limitation
Event, the Company shall use its best efforts to notify the Warrant Agent and
the Determination Agent promptly that an Extraordinary Event or Exercise
Limitation Event, as the case may be, has occurred and shall promptly give
notice to the Warrantholders by publication in a United States newspaper with a
national circulation that an Extraordinary Event or an Exercise Limitation
Event has occurred.

     If the Company determines that an Extraordinary Event or an Exercise
Limitation Event has occurred and is continuing on the Expiration Date or on
any Delisting Date, the Company shall so notify the Warrant Agent and the
Determination Agent, and the Cash Settlement Value with respect to the
exercised Warrants shall be equal to, and be calculated in the same manner as,
an "Alternative Settlement Amount", in accordance with the Warrant Agreement


                                     A-1-7
<PAGE>


(treating the Expiration Date or any Delisting Date, as the case may be, as the
date on which the Warrants were canceled).

     If the Company determines that an Extraordinary Event has occurred and is
continuing, and if that Extraordinary Event is expected by the Company to
continue, the Company may immediately cancel the Warrants by notifying the
Warrant Agent of such cancellation (the date such notice is given being the
"Cancellation Date"), and each Warrantholder's rights with respect to the
Warrants and under the Warrant Agreement shall thereupon cease; provided, that
each Warrant shall be exercised (even if such Warrant would not otherwise be
exercisable on such date because of the Limit Option) on the basis that the
Valuation Date for such Warrant shall be the Cancellation Date and each
Warrantholder shall have the right to receive, in lieu of the Cash Settlement
Value of such Warrant an amount (the "Alternative Settlement Amount"),
determined by the Determination Agent.

     With respect to all Warrants as to which the Valuation Date has been
postponed or which have been canceled as described above, if the Company has
made adequate funds available to the Warrant Agent not later than 3:00 p.m.,
New York City time, on the third New York Business Day following the date on
which the Cash Settlement Value or Alternative Settlement Amount, as the case
may be, has been calculated (the "Alternative Funding Date"), the Warrant Agent
will thereafter be responsible for making a payment in the manner set forth in
the Warrant Agreement to the Depository, after 3:00 p.m., New York City time,
but prior to the close of business on, the Alternative Funding Date, in an
amount equal to the aggregate Cash Settlement Value or Alternative Settlement
Amount (as applicable) of such exercised Warrants (and in the case of
cancellation as described above, of all previously unexercised Warrants). Such
payment shall be in the amount equal to the aggregate Cash Settlement Value or
Alternative Settlement Amount, as the case may be, of the Warrants.

     The "Alternative Settlement Amount" shall be an amount determined by the
Determination Agent, which is equal to the amount "X" calculated using the
formula set forth below:

     X = I + (T/2 x A/B)

     where

     I = the Cash Settlement Value of the Warrants determined as
         described above, but calculated with a Spot Value determined
         by the Determination Agent which, subject to approval by the
         Company (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld), in
         the reasonable


                                     A-1-8
<PAGE>


         opinion of the Determination Agent, fairly reflects the value
         of the Underlying Securities [alternative provision for
         indices not based on securities] on the Cancellation Date,
         Expiration Date or Delisting Date, whichever has given rise
         to the payment of the Alternative Settlement Amount;

     T = the initial offering price per Warrant;

     A = the total number of days from but excluding the
         Cancellation Date, Expiration Date, or Delisting Date,
         whichever has given rise to the payment of the Alternative
         Settlement Amount for such Warrants, to and including the
         Expiration Date; and

     B = the total number of days from, but excluding the date on
         which sales of the Warrants were initially confirmed, to and
         including the Expiration Date.

     For purposes of determining "I" in the above formula, in the event that
the Determination Agent and the Company are required, but have not, after good
faith consultation with each other and within five days following the first day
on which such Alternative Settlement Amount may be calculated in accordance
with the above formula, agreed upon a Spot Value which fairly reflects the
value of the Underlying Securities [alternative provision for indices not based
on securities] on the Cancellation Date, Expiration Date or Delisting Date,
whichever gives rise to the payment of the Alternative Settlement Amount then
the Determination Agent shall promptly nominate a third party, subject to
approval by the Company (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld), to
determine such figure and calculate the Alternative Settlement Amount in
accordance with the above formula. Such party shall act as an independent
expert and not as an agent of the Company or the Determination Agent, and its
calculation and determination of the Alternative Settlement Amount shall,
absent manifest error, be final and binding on the Company, the Warrant Agent,
the Determination Agent and the Warrantholders. Any such calculations will be
made available to a Warrantholder for inspection at the Warrant Agent's Office.
Neither the Company nor such third party shall have any responsibility for good
faith errors or omissions in calculating the Alternative Settlement Amount.

     "Extraordinary Event" means any of the following events:

          (i) a suspension or absence of trading on the [principal market in
     which the Underlying Securities are traded] [other provisions if there is
     more than one principal trading market for the Underlying Securities]
     [alternative provision for indices not based on securities] of


                                     A-1-9
<PAGE>


     all the Underlying Securities which then comprise the [Reference Index] or
     a Successor Index;

          (ii) the enactment, publication, decree or other promulgation of any
     statute, regulation, rule or order of any court or any other U.S. or non-
     U.S. governmental authority that would make it unlawful for the Company to
     perform any of its obligations under the Warrant Agreement or the Warrants
     or that has or will have a material adverse effect on the ability of the
     Company to perform its obligations under the Warrants or to modify the
     hedge of its position with respect to the [Reference Index]; or

          (iii) any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or other national or
     international calamity or crisis (including, without limitation, natural
     calamities that in the opinion of the Company may materially and adversely
     affect the economy of [country of principal market in which the Underlying
     Securities are traded] or the trading of securities generally on the
     [principal market in which the Underlying Securities are traded]) that has
     or will have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Company to
     perform its obligations under the Warrants or to modify the hedge of its
     position with respect to the [Reference Index].

     For the purpose of determining whether an Extraordinary Event has
occurred: (1) a limitation on the hours or number of days of trading will not
constitute an Extraordinary Event if it results from an announced change in the
regular business hours of the [principal market in which the Underlying
Securities are traded] and (2) an "absence of trading" on the [principal market
in which the Underlying Securities are traded] will not include any time when
the [principal market in which the Underlying Securities are traded] is closed
for trading under ordinary circumstances.

     An "Exercise Limitation Event" means either of the following events:

          (i) a suspension, material limitation or absence of trading on the
     [principal market in which the Underlying Securities are traded] of (a)
     [___]% or more of the Underlying Securities and/or (b) the securities of
     [percentage or number] of the most highly capitalized companies included
     in the Underlying Securities which then comprise the [Reference Index] or
     a Successor Index; or

          [(ii) the suspension or material limitation on the [relevant futures
     exchange(s) with respect to the Underlying Securities] or any other major
     futures or securities market of trading in futures or


                                    A-1-10
<PAGE>


     options contracts related to the [other relevant index], the [Reference
     Index] or a Successor Index.]

     For the purposes of determining whether an Exercise Limitation Event has
occurred: (1) a limitation on the hours or number of days of trading will not
constitute an Exercise Limitation Event if it results from an announced change
in the regular business hours of the relevant market or exchange, [(2) a
decision to permanently discontinue trading in the relevant futures or options
contract will not constitute an Exercise Limitation Event,] (3) a suspension in
trading in an Underlying Security [or in a futures or options contract]
referred to in clause[s] ) [and (ii)] above, by reason of (x) a price change
violating limits set by the [principal market in which the Underlying
Securities are traded] [or the relevant futures exchange(s) with respect to the
Underlying Securities] or such [futures or] securities market, (y) an imbalance
of orders relating to an Underlying Security [or such contracts] or (z) a
disparity in bid and ask quotes relating to an Underlying Security [or such
contracts], will constitute a suspension or material limitation of trading, (4)
an "absence of trading" in the [principal market in which the Underlying
Securities are traded] will not include any time when the [principal market in
which the Underlying Securities are traded] is closed for trading under
ordinary circumstances and (5) the occurrence of an Extraordinary Event
described in clause ) of the definition of Extraordinary Event will not
constitute, and will supersede the occurrence of, an Exercise Limitation Event.

     All exercises of Warrants (other than on automatic exercise or upon
cancellation) are subject, at the Company's option, to the limitation that not
more than [limit on aggregate number of Warrants to be exercised on any day]
Warrants in total may be exercised on any Exercise Date and not more than
[individual limit] Warrants may be exercised by or on behalf of any beneficial
owner, either individually or in concert with any other beneficial owner, on
any Exercise Date. If any New York Business Day would otherwise, under the
terms hereof, be the Exercise Date in respect of more than [limit on aggregate
number of Warrants to be exercised on any day] Warrants, then at the Company's
election (by giving notice thereof to the Warrant Agent not later than 11:00
a.m., New York City time, on the New York Business Day immediately following
such Exercise Date), [limit on aggregate number of Warrants to be exercised on
any day] of such Warrants shall be deemed exercised on such Exercise Date
(selected by the Warrant Agent on a pro rata basis, but if, as a result of such
pro rata selection, any Registered Holders of Warrants would be deemed to have
exercised less than [minimum exercise amount] Warrants, then the Warrant Agent
shall first select an additional amount of such holders' Warrants so that no
holder shall be deemed to have exercised less than [minimum exercise amount]
Warrants), and the remainder of such Warrants (the "Remaining Warrants") shall


                                     A-1-11
<PAGE>


be deemed exercised on the following New York Business Day (notwithstanding the
provisions of the Warrant Agreement); provided that in the event that the
aggregate number of such Remaining Warrants, together with any additional
Warrants with respect to which the Exercise Date would be such following New
York Business Day, exceeds [limit on aggregate number of Warrants to be
exercised on any day] the provisions of this paragraph all apply to the
exercise of such Remaining Warrants and such additional Warrants on such
following New York Business Day and successively until the limitations set
forth in this paragraph d in the Warrant Agreement are no longer exceeded;
provided further, that any such Remaining Warrants shall be deemed exercised
before any such additional Warrants.

     If any beneficial owner of Warrants attempts to exercise more than
[individual limit] Warrants on any New York Business Day, then at the Company's
election (as notified to the Warrant Agent by giving notice thereof to the
Warrant Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the next New
York Business Day following such New York Business Day) [individual limit] of
such Warrants shall be deemed exercised on such New York Business Day and the
remainder of such Warrants shall be deemed exercised on the following New York
Business Day (notwithstanding any inconsistent provisions in the Warrant
Agreement); provided that in the event that the aggregate number of such
remaining Warrants, together with any additional Warrants of such beneficial
owner with respect to which the Exercise Date would be such following New York
Business Day, exceeds [individual limit], at the Company's election (as
notified in the manner described above), the provisions of the paragraph all
apply to the exercise of such remaining Warrants and such additional Warrants
on such following New York Business Day and successively until the limitations
set forth in this paragraph d in the Warrant Agreement are no longer exceeded;
provided further, that any such remaining Warrants shall be deemed exercised
before any such additional Warrants of such beneficial owner. The date on which
any Warrant is deemed exercised under the preceding two sentences shall for all
purposes of this Agreement be the "Exercise Date" in respect of such Warrants.

     Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer, the Company, the
Warrant Agent, and any agent of the Company or the Warrant Agent, may deem and
treat the registered owner hereof as the absolute owner of the Warrants
evidenced hereby (notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing
hereon) for any purpose whatsoever, and as the person entitled to exercise the
rights represented by the Warrants evidenced hereby, and neither the Company
nor the Warrant Agent, nor any agent of the Company or the Warrant Agent, shall
be affected by any notice to the contrary.


                                     A-1-12

     The Warrant Agent will, in accordance with the Warrant Agreement, from
time to time register the transfer of this Global Warrant Certificate in its
records (which may be maintained electronically) subject to such reasonable
regulations as the Company or the Warrant Agent may prescribe, only to the
Depository, to another nominee of the Depository, to a successor Depository or
to a nominee of a successor Depository, upon surrender of such Global Warrant
Certificate, duly endorsed, or accompanied by a written instrument or
instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Warrant Agent and the
Company, duly executed by the registered holder thereof or by the duly
appointed legal representative thereof, or by its duly authorized attorney.
Such signature must be guaranteed by a bank or trust company having a
correspondent office in New York City or by a broker or dealer which is a
member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (the "NASD") or
by a member of a national securities exchange. Upon any such registration of
transfer, a new Global Warrant Certificate shall be issued to the transferee
and the surrendered Global Warrant Certificate shall be canceled by the Warrant
Agent.

     Except for Warrants subject to automatic exercise and with respect to
payments of any Alternative Settlement Amount, each Warrantholder, in
connection with any exercise of Warrants (including a postponed exercise
following an Extraordinary Event or an Exercise Limitation Event), will have
the option (the "Limit Option") to specify that such Warrants are not to be
exercised if the Spot Value that would otherwise be used to determine the Cash
Settlement Value of such Warrants is [minimum number of points] or more points
[lower in the case of call warrants] [higher in the case of put warrants]
[formula] than the closing level of the [Reference Index] for the day specified
below (such closing level, the "Limit Option Reference Index Value"). A
Warrantholder's election of the Limit Option must be specified in the
applicable Exercise Notice delivered to the Warrant Agent. The Limit Option
Reference Index Value will be the closing level of the [Reference Index] on the
relevant Exercise Date (or if such day is not an Index Calculation Day, on the
immediately preceding Index Calculation Day). If an Exercise Notice is received
after 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on a given day, the applicable Limit
Option Reference Index Value will be determined as of the next day that is also
a New York Business Day (or, if such day is not an Index Calculation Day, as of
the immediately preceding Index Calculation Day).

     Following receipt of an Exercise Notice subject to the Limit Option, the
Warrant Agent will obtain the applicable Limit Option Reference Index Value and
will determine whether such Warrants exercised pursuant to such Exercise Notice
will not be exercised because of the Limit Option. Warrants that are not
exercised will be treated as not having been tendered for exercise. To exercise
such Warrants, a Warrantholder will be required to cause an Exercise Notice to
be


                                     A-1-13
<PAGE>


submitted again to the Warrant Agent. In the case of a postponed Valuation
Date, the Limit Option will continue to apply once elected by a Warrantholder
in connection with an exercise of Warrants on the basis of the Limit Option
Reference Index Value as initially determined for such Warrants, except when
such Valuation Date is postponed until the Expiration Date, any Delisting Date
or the Cancellation Date. Such Warrants will either (i) be exercised on a
delayed basis if the applicable Spot Value on the postponed Valuation Date is
not [minimum number of points] or more points [less in the case of call
warrants] [more in the case of put warrants] [formula] than the Limit Option
Reference Index Value of (ii) be excluded from being exercised if, on any
applicable postponed Valuation Date, the applicable Spot Value is [minimum
number of points] or more points [less in the case of call warrants] [more in
the case of put warrants] [formula] than the Limit Option Reference Index
Value. In connection with any exercise of [double the minimum exercise amount]
or more Warrants, a Warrantholder may elect to subject the exercise of only a
portion of such Warrants to the Limit Option, provided that the number of
Warrants subject to the Limit Option and the number of Warrants not subject to
the Limit Option shall in each case not be less than [the minimum exercise
amount].

     Capitalized terms included herein but not defined herein have the meanings
assigned thereto in the Warrant Agreement.

     For purposes of this Certificate, the "Index" means the [Reference Index]
and the "Spot Value" for any date means the closing level on such date of the
[Reference Index]. References herein to "U.S. dollar," "U.S.$" or "$" are to
the lawful currency of the United States of America [and, references to [other
currency] are to the lawful currency of [country of the principal trading
market of the Underlying Securities]] [other provision if the principal trading
markets of the Underlying Securities are in more than one country] [alternative
provision for indices not based on securities]. As used herein, "New York
Business Day" means any day other than a Saturday or a Sunday or a day on which
either the American Stock Exchange or the New York Stock Exchange is not open
for securities trading or commercial banks in New York City are required or
authorized by law or executive order to remain closed. As used herein, "Index
Calculation Day" means any day on which the [Reference Index] or any Successor
Index is calculated and published.

     The Warrant Agreement and the terms of the Warrants are subject to
amendment, as provided in the Warrant Agreement.

                                WARRANT AGREEMENT


     THIS AGREEMENT, dated as of [ ], 20[ ], among J.P. MORGAN CHASE & CO., a
corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware (the
"Company"), [_____________________], a [New York] banking corporation, (the
"Warrant Agent")[, and [_____________________], a corporation organized and
existing under the laws of the State of [Delaware] (the "Determination Agent").]

     WHEREAS, the Company proposes to sell [put warrants] [call warrants] (the
"Warrants" or, individually, a "Warrant"), representing the right to receive
from the Company an amount in [name of payment currency] equal to the Cash
Settlement Value [or Alternative Settlement Amount (each as] defined below)
determined by reference to [the right to sell (in case of put warrants)] [the
right to purchase (in the case of call warrants)] a specified amount[s] of the
[Base Currency, (the "Base Currency")] [Base Currencies (the "Base
Currencies")]2 for a specified amount[s] of the [Reference Currency], [(the
"Reference Currency")] [Reference Currencies (the "Reference Currencies")]1 on
the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement; and

     WHEREAS the Company desires the Warrant Agent to act on behalf of the
Company, and the Warrant Agent is willing so to act, in connection with the
issuance, transfer and exercise of the Warrants, and the Company desires to set
forth herein, among other things, the provisions of the Warrants and the terms
and conditions on which they may be issued, transferred, exercised and
cancelled;

         NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows:



                                    ARTICLE 1

       Issuance of Warrants and Form, Execution, Delivery and Registration
             of Warrant Certificates and Global Warrant Certificate

     Section 1.01. Issuance of Warrants. (a) The Warrants are unsecured
contractual obligations of the Company and will rank on a parity with the
Company's other unsecured contractual obligations and with the Company's
unsecured and unsubordinated debt.
- --------
1    If multiple Base Currencies or Reference Currencies are used, conforming
     alterations must be made throughout the Warrant Agreement.

<PAGE>

     (b) Each Warrant shall represent the right, upon exercise (including
automatic exercise) subject to the provisions contained herein, to receive the
Cash Settlement Value [or the Alternative Settlement Amount, as the case may be
(each] as defined herein), of such Warrant. In no event shall a registered or
beneficial holder of a Warrant (each a "Warrantholder") be entitled to receive
any interest on any Cash Settlement Value [or Alternative Settlement Amount].

     Section 1.02. Form, Execution and Delivery of Warrant Certificates. (a) The
Warrants, whenever issued, shall be represented by certificates in registered
form substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto (the "Warrant
Certificates"), with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and
other variations as are required or permitted by this Agreement, and may
represent any whole number of Warrants. The Warrant Certificates may have
imprinted or otherwise reproduced thereon such letters, numbers or other marks
of identification or designation and such legends or endorsements as the
officers of the Company executing the same may approve (execution thereof to be
conclusive evidence of such approval) and which are not inconsistent with the
provisions of this Agreement, 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 Warrants may be listed, or of any
securities depository, or to conform to usage. Warrant Certificates shall be
signed on behalf of the Company by any of the chairman of its Board of
Directors, its president, any vice chairman of its Board of Directors or the
chief financial officer (or any other officer certified by any of the foregoing
officers in an Officers' Certificate to be an executive officer of the Issuer)
in each case under its corporate seal which may, but need not be attested by its
secretary or one or more of its assistant secretaries [except that the Global
Warrant Certificate may be executed by any such officer without any necessity
that such signature be under seal as aforesaid]. The signature of any of such
officers may be either manual or facsimile. Typographical and other minor errors
or defects in any such signature shall not affect the validity or enforceability
of any Warrant Certificate that has been duly countersigned and delivered by the
Warrant Agent.

     (b) In case any officer of the Company who shall have signed a Warrant
Certificate, either manually or by facsimile signature, shall cease to be such
officer before such Warrant Certificate shall have been countersigned and
delivered by the Warrant Agent to the Company or delivered by the Company, such
Warrant Certificate nevertheless may be countersigned and delivered as though
the person who signed such Warrant Certificate had not ceased to be such officer
of the Company; and the Warrant Certificate may be signed on behalf of the
Company by any person who, at the actual date of the execution of such Warrant
Certificate, shall be a proper officer of the Company to sign such Warrant

<PAGE>

Certificate, although at the date of the execution of this Warrant Agreement any
such person was not such officer.

     Section 1.03. Warrant Certificates. Each Warrant Certificate, when executed
on behalf of the Company in accordance with Section 1.02, shall be delivered to
the Warrant Agent, which shall manually countersign and deliver the same to or
upon the order of the Company. Each Warrant Certificate shall be dated the date
of its countersignature. A Warrant Certificate shall not be valid for any
purpose, and no Warrant evidenced thereby shall be exercisable, unless and until
such Warrant Certificate has been countersigned by the manual signature of an
authorized officer of the Warrant Agent. Such countersignature by an authorized
officer of the Warrant Agent upon any Warrant Certificate signed by the Company
in accordance with Section 1.02 shall be conclusive evidence that the Warrant
Certificate so countersigned has been duly issued hereunder.

     Section 1.04. Registration of Transfers and Exchanges. (a) Except as
otherwise provided herein or in the Warrant Certificate, the Warrant Agent shall
from time to time register the transfer of any outstanding Warrant Certificates
upon the records to be maintained by it for that purpose (the "Warrant
Register") at the Warrant Agent's Office (as defined herein), subject to such
reasonable regulations as the Company or the Warrant Agent may prescribe, upon
surrender thereof, duly endorsed, or accompanied by a written instrument or
instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Warrant Agent and the
Company, duly executed by the registered holder(s) thereof or by the duly
appointed legal representative thereof or by a duly authorized attorney, such
signature to be guaranteed by a bank or trust company with a correspondent
office in The City of New York or by a broker or dealer which is a member of the
National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (the "NASD") or by a member of
a national securities exchange. Upon any such registration of transfer, a new
Warrant Certificate shall be issued to the transferee(s) and the surrendered
Warrant Certificate shall be cancelled by the Warrant Agent.

     (b) At the option of a Warrantholder, Warrant Certificates may be exchanged
for other Warrant Certificates, representing a like number of Warrants, upon
surrender to the Warrant Agent of the Warrant Certificates to be exchanged at
its offices maintained for such purpose (the location of which shall be provided
to the Company), which shall be in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New
York (the "Warrant Agent's Office"), and which is, on the date of this
Agreement, [_____________________], Attention: [_____], or at the office of any
successor Warrant Agent (as provided in Section 5.03). Upon surrender of any
Warrant Certificate for exchange, the Warrant Agent shall cancel such Warrant
Certificate, and the Company shall execute, and the Warrant Agent shall
countersign and deliver, in accordance with Sections 1.02 and 1.03, one or more

<PAGE>

new Warrant Certificates of like tenor and representing a like number of
unexercised Warrants.

     (c) Warrant Certificates issued upon transfer or exchange pursuant to
Section 1.04(a) or 1.04(b) shall be valid obligations of the Company, evidencing
the same obligations of the Company as the Warrant Certificates surrendered for
transfer or exchange, and entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement as
were such Warrant Certificates prior to such surrender.

     (d) Except as provided in Section 1.05, no service charge shall be made for
any registration of transfer or exchange of Warrant Certificates, 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 Warrant Certificates, other than exchanges pursuant to
this Section 1.04 not involving any transfer.

     (e) In the event that upon any exercise of Warrants evidenced by a Warrant
Certificate the number of Warrants exercised shall be less than the total number
of Warrants evidenced by such Warrant Certificate, there shall be issued to the
holder thereof or his assignee a new Warrant Certificate evidencing the number
of Warrants not exercised.

     Section 1.05. Mutilated or Missing Warrant Certificates. (a) If any Warrant
Certificate is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company may in its
discretion execute, and the Warrant Agent may countersign and deliver, in
exchange and substitution for the mutilated Warrant Certificate, or in
replacement for the Warrant Certificate lost, stolen or destroyed, a new Warrant
Certificate of like tenor and representing an equivalent number of Warrants,
bearing an identification number not contemporaneously outstanding, but only (in
case of loss, theft or destruction) upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the
Company and the Warrant Agent of such loss, theft or destruction of such Warrant
Certificate and security or indemnity, if requested, also satisfactory to them.
Applicants for such substitute Warrant Certificates shall also comply with such
other reasonable regulations and pay such other reasonable charges as the
Company or the Warrant Agent may prescribe.

     (b) In case any such mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed Warrant
Certificate has been or is about to be exercised, or deemed to be exercised, the
Company in its absolute discretion may, instead of issuing a new Warrant
Certificate, direct the Warrant Agent to treat the same as if it had received
the Warrant Certificate together with an irrevocable Exercise Notice (as defined
herein) in proper form in respect thereof, as provided herein, or as being
subject to automatic exercise, as the case may be.

<PAGE>

     (c) Each new Warrant Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 1.05 in
lieu of any lost, stolen or destroyed Warrant Certificate shall be an original,
additional contractual obligation of the Company, and shall be entitled to the
same benefits under this Agreement as the Warrant Certificate that was lost,
stolen or destroyed.

     (d) Upon the issuance of any new Warrant Certificate in accordance with
this Section 1.05, 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 Warrant
Agent) connected therewith.

     (e) The provisions of this Section 1.05 are exclusive and shall preclude
(to the extent lawful) any other rights and remedies with respect to the
replacement or payment of mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed Warrant
Certificates.

     Section 1.06. Registered Holders. Prior to due presentment for registration
of transfer, the Company, the Warrant Agent, and any agent of the Company or the
Warrant Agent, may deem and treat the person in whose name a Warrant Certificate
shall be registered in the Warrant Register (a "Registered Holder") as the
absolute owner of the Warrants evidenced thereby (notwithstanding any notation
of ownership or other writing on the Warrant Certificate) for any purpose
whatsoever, and as the person entitled to exercise the rights represented by the
Warrants evidenced thereby, and neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent, nor
any agent of the Company or the Warrant Agent, shall be affected by any notice
to the contrary. This Section 1.06 shall be without prejudice to the rights of
Warrantholders as described elsewhere herein.

     Section 1.07. Global Warrant Certificate. (a) Any global certificate
evidencing the Warrants (the "Global Warrant Certificate") issued in accordance
with this Section 1.07 shall be substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit
A-1 hereto, with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other
variations as are required or permitted by this Agreement, and may represent any
number of whole Warrants. The Global Warrant Certificate may have imprinted or
otherwise reproduced thereon such letters, numbers or other marks of
identification or designation and such legends or endorsements as the officers
of the Company executing the same may approve (execution thereof to be
conclusive evidence of such approval) and which are not inconsistent with the
provisions of this Agreement, 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 Warrants may be listed or of The
Depository Trust

<PAGE>

Company, New York, New York (the "Depository", which term, as used herein,
includes any successor securities depository selected by the Company), or to
conform to usage. Each Global Warrant Certificate shall be signed on behalf of
the Company upon the same conditions, in substantially the same manner and
with the same effect as the Warrant Certificates.

     (b) The Warrant Agent is authorized upon receipt of a Global Warrant
Certificate from the Company, duly executed on behalf of the Company, to
countersign such Global Warrant Certificate. The Global Warrant Certificate
shall be manually countersigned and dated the date of its countersignature by
the Warrant Agent and shall not be valid for any purpose unless so
countersigned. The Warrant Agent shall deliver the Global Warrant Certificate to
or upon the order of the Company against receipt of an appropriate amount of
Certificated Warrants (as defined herein) (such Certificated Warrants shall be
disposed of in accordance with instructions provided by the Company). One or
more Global Warrant Certificates may be executed by the Company and delivered to
the Warrant Agent on or after the date of execution of this Agreement; provided
that only one Global Warrant Certificate shall be outstanding at any one time.

     The Company reserves the right to issue, from time to time after the date
of execution of this Agreement, additional Warrants, and in connection therewith
the Global Warrant Certificate may be exchanged for a new Global Warrant
Certificate to reflect the issuance by the Company of such additional Warrants.
To effect such an exchange the Company shall deliver to the Warrant Agent a new
Global Warrant Certificate duly executed on behalf of the Company as provided in
Section 1.02. The Warrant Agent shall countersign the new Global Warrant
Certificate as provided in this Section and shall deliver the new Global Warrant
Certificate to the Depository in exchange for, and upon receipt of, the Global
Warrant Certificate then held by the Depository. The Warrant Agent shall cancel
the Global Warrant Certificate delivered to it by the Depository, dispose of
such Global Warrant Certificate and provide a certificate of disposition to the
Company.

     (c) The Global Warrant Certificate will initially be registered in the name
of a nominee of the Depository. The Warrant holdings of each entity (a
"Participant") entitled to execute, clear and settle transactions through the
Depository will be recorded on the books of the Depository. The holdings of
customers of the Participants and the identity of the Warrantholders will be
reflected on the books and records of such Participants and will not be known to
the Warrant Agent, the Company or the Depository. The Global Warrant Certificate
will be held by the Depository or its agent. Neither the Company nor the Warrant
Agent will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records
relating to beneficial ownership interests in the Global Warrant Certificate

<PAGE>


or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such
beneficial ownership interests.

     The Company may from time to time select a new entity to act as Depository
with respect to the Warrants and, if such selection is made, the Company shall
promptly give the Warrant Agent notice to such effect identifying the new
Depository, and the Global Warrant Certificate shall be delivered to the Warrant
Agent and shall be transferred to the new Depository as provided below as
promptly as possible. Appropriate changes may be made in the forms of the Global
Warrant Certificate, the Exercise Notice and the related notices to be delivered
in connection with an exercise to reflect the selection of the new Depository.

     (d) Except as otherwise provided herein or in the Global Warrant
Certificate, the Warrant Agent shall from time to time register the transfer of
the Global Warrant Certificate in its records (which may be maintained
electronically), subject to such reasonable regulations as the Company or the
Warrant Agent may prescribe, only to the Depository, to another nominee of the
Depository, to a successor Depository or to a nominee of a successor Depository,
upon surrender of such Global Warrant Certificate, duly endorsed, or accompanied
by a written instrument or instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the
Warrant Agent and the Company, duly executed by the registered holder thereof or
by the duly appointed legal representative thereof, or by its duly authorized
attorney, such signature to be guaranteed by a bank or trust company with a
correspondent office in The City of New York or by a broker or dealer which is a
member of the NASD or by a member of a national securities exchange. Upon any
such registration of transfer, a new Global Warrant Certificate shall be issued
to the transferee and the surrendered Global Warrant Certificate shall be
cancelled by the Warrant Agent.

         The Global Warrant Certificate may be transferred as provided in this
Section, when surrendered to the Warrant Agent's Office, or at the office of any
successor Warrant Agent (as provided in Section 5.03), for another Global
Warrant Certificate of like tenor and representing a like number of unexercised
Warrants.

                                    ARTICLE 2
                        Duration and Exercise of Warrants

     Section 2.01. Duration of Warrants; Minimum Exercise Amounts; Exercise
Notice. (a) Subject to the limitations set forth herein and in Section 2.03,
each Warrant may be irrevocably exercised in whole but not in part, immediately
upon issuance. Except in the case of automatic exercise, each Warrant shall be
irrevocably exercised either (A) in the case of Warrants represented by Warrant
Certificates ("Certificated Warrants"), on any New York Business Day during the
period from the date of issuance until 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the
earlier of (i) the New York Business Day immediately preceding the date
(established in or pursuant to a resolution or resolutions of the Board of
Directors of the Company or any committee of such Board duly authorized to act
on its behalf (a "Board Resolution" or "Board Resolutions")) upon which the
right to exercise the Warrants expires (the "Expiration Date"), and (ii) any
Delisting Date (as defined herein) by delivering or causing to be delivered to
the Warrant Agent (at its address as set forth in the Exercise Notice (as
defined below) or at such other address as the Warrant Agent may specify from
time to time) the Warrant Certificate representing such Warrant, with the
Exercise Notice duly completed and executed by the Registered Holder of such
Warrant or (B) in the case of Warrants represented by a Global Warrant
Certificate ("Book-Entry Warrants"), on any New York Business Day until 3:00
P.M., New York City time, on the earlier of (i) the New York Business Day
immediately preceding the Expiration Date and (ii) any Delisting Date, by
causing (x) such Warrant to be transferred free to the Warrant Agent on the
records of the Depository in accordance with the Depository's Deposit/Withdrawal
at Custodian procedures and (y) a duly completed and executed Exercise Notice to
be received by the Warrant Agent from a Participant acting, directly or
indirectly, on behalf of the Warrantholder; provided, however, that Exercise
Notices are subject to rejection by the Warrant Agent as provided herein.

     In the case of Book-Entry Warrants held through the facilities of
Clearstream Banking S.A. ("Clearstream") or the Euroclear System ("Euroclear"),
a Warrantholder may exercise each Warrant on any New York Business Day until
3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the earlier of (i) the New York Business Day
immediately preceding the Expiration Date and (ii) any Delisting Date, by
causing (x) such Warrant to be transferred to the Warrant Agent in accordance
with clause (B) of the preceding paragraph, by giving appropriate instructions
to Clearstream or the participant holding his Warrants in Euroclear, as the case
may be, and (y) a duly completed and executed Exercise Notice to be delivered on
behalf of the Warrantholder by Clearstream in the case of Warrants held through
Clearstream, or such participant, in the case of Warrants held through
Euroclear, to the Warrant Agent.

<PAGE>


     (b) No fewer than the minimum number of Warrants as set forth in each
Warrant Certificate may be exercised by or on behalf of any one Warrantholder at
any one time, except that no such minimum exercise amount shall apply in the
case of automatic exercise on the Expiration Date or a Delisting Date[, or in
the case of cancellation of the Warrants as a result of an Extraordinary Event
(as defined herein)]. An Exercise Notice shall be unconditional. Except as
provided in Section 2.02(c), the Warrant Agent shall be entitled, with no duty
of inquiry, to rely conclusively on any Exercise Notice received by it and on
any representation of the exercising Warrantholder contained therein.

     (c) "Exercise Notice" means an irrevocable notice of exercise to the
Warrant Agent at its address, which notice (A) for Certificated Warrants, shall
be on the reverse of the Warrant Certificate or such other form as the Company
and the Warrant Agent may approve, and (B) for Book-Entry Warrants, shall be
substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A-2 hereto or such other form as
the Company and the Warrant Agent may approve and may be given by facsimile
transmission. For purposes of this Agreement, "New York Business Day" means any
day other than a Saturday, Sunday or a day on which commercial banks in New York
City are required or authorized by law or executive order to remain closed.

     Section 2.02. Exercise, Valuation and Delivery of Warrants. (a) Except for
Warrants subject to automatic exercise or Warrants held through the facilities
of Clearstream or Euroclear, the "Exercise Date" for a Warrant means (i) the New
York Business Day on which the Warrant Agent receives the Warrant and Exercise
Notice in proper form with respect to such Warrant, if received at or prior to
3:00 P.M., New York City time, on such day, or (ii) if the Warrant Agent
receives such Warrant or Exercise Notice after 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on
a New York Business Day, then the next New York Business Day succeeding the New
York Business Day on which such Warrant or Exercise Notice is received. In the
case of Warrants held through the facilities of Clearstream or Euroclear, except
for Warrants subject to automatic exercise, the "Exercise Date" for a Warrant
means (i) the New York Business Day on which the Warrant Agent receives (by
facsimile transmission) the Exercise Notice in proper form with respect to such
Warrant if such Exercise Notice is received at or prior to 3:00 P.M., New York
City time, on such day, provided, that the Warrant being exercised is received
by the Warrant Agent by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the New York Business
Day next succeeding the date on which the Exercise Notice is received, or (ii)
if the Warrant Agent receives such Exercise Notice after 3:00 P.M., New York
City time, on a New York Business Day, then the New York Business Day succeeding
such New York Business Day, provided that such day will be the Exercise Date
only if the Warrant being exercised is received by 3:00 P.M., New York City
time, on the second succeeding New York Business

<PAGE>

Day following the New York Business Day on which the Exercise Notice is
received. In the event that the Warrant being exercised is received after 3:00
P.M., New York City time, on the New York Business Day next succeeding the date
on which the Exercise Notice is received, then the Exercise Date for such
Warrant will be the day on which such Warrant is received or, if such day is not
a New York Business Day, the next succeeding New York Business Day.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of the exercise of a Book-Entry
Warrant by Clearstream or a Euroclear participant, Clearstream or Euroclear, as
the case may be, must by facsimile transmission to the Warrant Agent by 9:00
a.m., New York City time, on the New York Business Day next succeeding the
Exercise Date confirm (an "Account Confirmation") that the Warrants being
exercised will be received by the Warrant Agent by 3:00 p.m., New York City
time, on such date, provided, further, that if such Account Confirmation is
received after 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the New York Business Day next
succeeding the Exercise Date, the Company will be entitled to direct the Warrant
Agent to reject the related Exercise Notice or waive the requirement for timely
delivery of such Account Confirmation.

     (b) The "Valuation Date" for a Warrant shall be the first New York Business
Day following the applicable Exercise Date (subject to postponement [upon the
occurrence of an Extraordinary Event or Exercise Limitation Event (as herein
defined) or] as a result of the exercise of a number of Warrants exceeding the
limits on exercise set forth herein).

     All Warrants for which the Warrant Agent has not received a valid Exercise
Notice at or prior to 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on (i) the New York
Business Day immediately preceding the Expiration Date or (ii) the last New York
Business Day prior to the effective date on which the Warrants are delisted
from, or permanently suspended from trading (within the meaning of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules and regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission thereunder) on, the stock exchange on which the Warrants
are listed and not accepted prior thereto or at the same time for listing on
another United States national securities exchange (such New York Business Day
being a "Delisting Date") or for which the Warrant Agent has received a valid
Exercise Notice but with respect to which timely delivery of the relevant
Warrants has not been made by such date [or the Valuation Date for which has as
of such date been postponed as provided in Section 2.03], shall be deemed to be
automatically exercised as of such date; provided, however, that if the Company
first receives notice of the delisting or suspension of the Warrants on the same
day on which such Warrants are delisted or suspended, such day will be deemed a
Delisting Date for purposes of this Agreement.

<PAGE>

     (c) The Warrant Agent shall, in the case of Warrants other than Warrants
held through the facilities of Clearstream or Euroclear, following receipt of
proper and timely delivery of a Warrant in accordance with Section 2.02(a),
accompanied by a completed Exercise Notice, and, in the case of Warrants held
through Clearstream or Euroclear, following receipt of proper delivery of a
completed Exercise Notice in accordance with Section 2.02(a):

          (i) promptly (1) for Certificated Warrants, determine whether such
     Exercise Notice has been duly completed and is in proper form duly executed
     by the Registered Holder thereof or by the duly appointed legal
     representative thereof or by a duly authorized attorney, (2) for Book-Entry
     Warrants not held through Clearstream or Euroclear, determine whether such
     Exercise Notice has been duly completed and is in proper form and (3) for
     Book-Entry Warrants held through Clearstream or Euroclear, determine
     whether such Exercise Notice has been duly completed and is in proper form
     duly executed by Clearstream or the Euroclear participant delivering such
     Warrant, as applicable; and if the Warrant Agent determines that the
     Exercise Notice has not been duly completed or is not in proper form or, in
     the case of Certificated Warrants, has not been so executed, the Warrant
     Agent promptly (A) shall reject such Exercise Notice and shall send to the
     entity that executed such Exercise Notice a notice of rejection
     substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit B or Exhibit B-1 hereto, as
     the case may be, and, in the case of Certificated Warrants, shall return to
     the Registered Holder that submitted such Exercise Notice, by first class
     mail, the Warrant Certificates evidencing such Warrants, or, in the case of
     Book-Entry Warrants, shall re-deliver such Warrants (to the extent received
     in the case of Warrants held through Clearstream or Euroclear) free through
     the facilities of DTC to the account from which they were transferred to
     the Warrant Agent and (B) shall not take the actions required by clauses
     (ii)-(vii) below with respect to such Exercise Notice or the related
     Warrants; provided, however, that the Warrant Agent shall deliver a copy of
     the Exercise Notice relating to such Warrants to the Company as required by
     Section 2.02(c)(vii) below and the Company may waive any defect in the form
     of such Exercise Notice;

          (ii) notify the Company [and the Determination Agent] (and such other
     parties (not to exceed two) as the Company shall designate in writing) by
     5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the New York Business Day that such
     Exercise Notice has been received (or shall be deemed to have been
     received) of the total number of Warrants covered by such Exercise Notice;


<PAGE>

          (iii) with respect to Warrants held through Clearstream or Euroclear,
     determine whether the Warrant Agent has received by 9:00 a.m., New York
     City time, on the New York Business Day next succeeding the Exercise Date
     relating to such Warrants, Account Confirmations with respect to such
     Warrants, and if the Warrant Agent has not received any such Account
     Confirmation by such time, notify the Company (and such other parties (not
     to exceed two) as the Company shall designate in writing) by 10:00 a.m.,
     New York City time, on the New York Business Day next succeeding the
     Exercise Date, of the number of such Warrants in respect of which the
     Warrant Agent has not received such Account Confirmations and (except to
     the extent the Company has notified the Warrant Agent that it has waived
     the timing requirement of timely delivery of such Account Confirmations)
     send to Clearstream or the Euroclear participant, as the case may be, that
     delivered such Exercise Notice for which no related Account Confirmation
     was received (at the address specified in such notice) a notice of
     rejection substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit B hereto;

          (iv) by 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Valuation Date (A)
     determine the number of Warrants determined pursuant to clause (ii) above)
     (all of such Warrants, the "Exercised Warrants") and (B) notify the Company
     [and the Determination Agent] of the total number of Exercised Warrants so
     determined (if such number is zero, the Warrant Agent shall not take the
     actions required by clauses (v) and (vi) of this Section 2.02(c) with
     respect to such Exercise Notice or the related Warrants);

          (v) determine the applicable Spot Rate and calculate the Cash
     Settlement Value of the Exercised Warrants (excluding any Warrants held
     through Clearstream or Euroclear as to which timely delivery of the related
     Warrant has not been made) as of their Valuation Date in the manner set
     forth in Section 2.02(b) by no later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time,
     on the New York Business Day next succeeding the Valuation Date [(unless
     the Cash Settlement Value shall be calculated by the Determination Agent)];

          (vi) notify the Company (and such other parties (not to exceed two) as
     the Company shall designate in writing) by 12:00 noon, New York City time,
     on the New York Business Day next succeeding the Valuation Date of the Cash
     Settlement Value payable in respect of the Exercised Warrants, and send
     notices of confirmation substantially in the form included in Exhibit B or
     Exhibit B-1 hereto, as the case may be, to the
<PAGE>


     Registered Holder, Participant, Clearstream or Euroclear participant, as
     the case may be; and

          (vii) promptly deliver a copy of each Exercise Notice to the Company
     and advise the Company of such other matters relating to the Exercised
     Warrants as the Company shall reasonably request. Any notice to be given to
     the Company by the Warrant Agent pursuant to this Section 2.02 or Section
     2.03 shall be by telephone (promptly confirmed in writing) or facsimile
     transmission.

     Except in the case of Warrants subject to automatic exercise [and for
Warrants that upon exercise entitle the holder thereof to receive an Alternative
Settlement Amount in lieu of the Cash Settlement Value], if on any Valuation
Date the Cash Settlement Value for any Warrants then exercised would be zero,
then the attempted exercise of any such Warrants shall be void and of no effect
and (i) for Certificated Warrants, the Warrant Certificate evidencing such
Warrants shall be promptly returned by the Warrant Agent to the Registered
Holder by first class mail at the Company's expense or (ii) for Book-Entry
Warrants, the Warrants will be transferred by the Warrant Agent back to the
Participant that submitted them free on the records of DTC (to the extent
received, in the case of Warrants held through Clearstream or Euroclear) and, in
either case such Warrantholder shall be permitted to re-exercise such Warrants
prior to the Expiration Date or any Delisting Date, as the case may be.

     (d) Except in the case of Warrants subject to automatic exercise [and for
Warrants that upon exercise entitle the holder thereof to receive an Alternative
Settlement Amount in lieu of the Cash Settlement Value], if the Company has made
adequate funds available to the Warrant Agent in a timely manner, which shall in
no event be later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the second New York
Business Day following a Valuation Date (the "Funding Date"), the Warrant Agent
will be responsible for making its payment available (i) for Certificated
Warrants, to each Registered Holder of an exercised Warrant in the form of a
cashier's check or an official bank check, or (in the case of payments of at
least $100,000) by wire transfer to a U.S. Dollar account maintained by such
Registered Holder in the United States (at such Registered Holder's election as
specified in the applicable Exercise Notice), after 3:00 p.m., New York City
time, but prior to the close of business on such Funding Date or (ii) for
Book-Entry Warrants, to each appropriate Participant in the form of a cashier's
check or an official bank check, or (in the case of payments of at least
$100,000) by wire transfer to a U.S. Dollar account maintained by such
Participant in the United States (at the Participant's election as specified in
the Exercise Notice), after 3:00 p.m., New York City time, but prior to the
close of business, on the first New York Business Day immediately succeeding
such Funding Date. For either clause

<PAGE>

(i) or (ii) above, such payment shall be in the amount of the aggregate Cash
Settlement Value in respect of the Warrant Certificates or Warrants that were
delivered to the Warrant Agent (together with the related Exercise Notice) as
provided in Sections 2.01 and 2.02(a), 2.02(b) and 2.02(c).

     (e) The "Cash Settlement Value" of an exercised Warrant shall be an amount
in [payment currency] equal to [formula or method of calculation for cash
settlement value] provided, however, that if such amount is less than zero, then
the Cash Settlement Value shall be zero.

     For purposes of this Agreement, the "Reference Currency" means the
[Reference Currency] and the "Base Currency" means the [Base Currency]. [[The
"Spot Rate"] for any date means the offered spot rate of [insert Base Currency]
per [insert Reference Currency] as quoted by [________________] (the "Spot Rate
Reference Bank") at 10:00 A.M., New York City time, on such date, or if such
bank is not quoting such rate at such time, the rate quoted by such other
leading bank in the foreign exchange markets as may be selected by the Company
in good faith and notified to the Warrant Agent.] [Alternative provision for
calculation of Spot Rate.] The offered spot rate of any applicable currency
shall be calculated to four (4) decimal places.

     References in this Agreement to "U.S. dollars", "U.S.$" or "$" are to the
lawful currency of the United States of America [other currency or currency
unit].

     (f) In the case of exercise of Book-Entry Warrants, the Warrant Agent shall
cause its records, which may be kept electronically, to be marked to reflect the
reduction in the number of Warrants represented by the Global Warrant
Certificate by the number of Warrants that were delivered to the Warrant Account
and for which payment has been made as provided in Section 2.02(d) promptly
after such delivery and payment. Absent manifest error, the Warrant Agent's
records shall be conclusive evidence of such matters.

     [(g) The Company hereby appoints [_____________________], and
[_____________________] accepts such appointment, to be the Company's
Determination Agent to make such calculations as may be required upon the
occurrence of any of the circumstances described in Section 2.03, including,
without limitation, calculation of the Cash Settlement Value or the Alternative
Settlement Amount, as applicable, of a Warrant. The Determination Agent shall
act as an independent expert and not as an agent of the Company, and, unless
otherwise provided by this Agreement, its calculations and determinations under
this Agreement shall, absent manifest error, be final and binding on the
Company, the Warrant Agent, the

<PAGE>


Warrantholders and any Participant. Any such calculations will be made
available to a Warrantholder for inspection at the Warrant Agent's Office.

     The Company agrees, for the benefit of the Warrantholders that there shall
at all times be a Determination Agent hereunder until all the Warrants are no
longer outstanding or until monies for the payment of all outstanding Warrants,
if any, shall have been paid to the Warrant Agent and shall have been returned
to the Company as provided in Section 2.06, whichever occurs earlier.
Resignation, removal and appointment of the Determination Agent shall be in
accordance with the procedures set forth for the resignation, removal and
appointment of the Warrant Agent, as provided in Section 5.03, except that a
successor Determination Agent need not be a banking institution with offices in
the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, and may only be appointed if
such successor has been nominated by the Company and approved by the predecessor
Determination Agent.

     The Company agrees promptly to pay the Determination Agent the compensation
to be agreed upon with the Company for all services rendered by the
Determination Agent hereunder. The Company also agrees to indemnify the
Determination Agent for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability,
cost or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) incurred by
the Determination Agent by reason of its being made a party to a suit or claim
arising out of this Agreement; provided, however, that such indemnity shall in
no event apply to the extent that any such loss, liability, cost or expense is a
result of the negligence, bad faith or breach of this Agreement on its part in
connection with the services rendered by it hereunder. The indemnity obligation
of the Company shall continue notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement
or the resignation or removal of the Determination Agent.]

     [(h) The Determination Agent will have no responsibility for good faith
errors or omissions in calculating or disseminating information regarding the
adjustments or calculations by the Determination Agent (as provided above) in
order to arrive at a calculation of the Cash Settlement Value or the Alternative
Settlement Amount, as applicable].

     Section 2.03. Automatic Exercise of Warrants[; Exercise Upon an
Extraordinary Event or Exercise Limitation Event]. (a) All Warrants for which
the Warrant Agent has not received an Exercise Notice in proper form by 3:00
p.m., New York City time, on (i) the New York Business Day immediately preceding
the Expiration Date or (ii) any Delisting Date, as the case may be, or for which
the Warrant Agent has received a valid Exercise Notice in proper form but with
respect to which timely delivery of the relevant Warrants has not been made

<PAGE>

prior to such time, and which have not been cancelled prior to such time, will
be deemed automatically exercised without any requirement of an Exercise Notice
to the Warrant Agent. The Exercise Date for such Warrants shall be the
Expiration Date or Delisting Date, as the case may be, or, if such date is not a
New York Business Day, the next succeeding New York Business Day and the
Valuation Date for such Warrants shall be the first New York Business Day
following the Exercise Date.

     The Warrant Agent shall by 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration
Date or any Delisting Date, as the case may be, notify the Company (and such
other parties (not to exceed two) as the Company shall designate in writing) of
the number of Warrants to be automatically exercised on such day. On the
Valuation Date for such Warrants, the Warrant Agent shall (i) determine the Cash
Settlement Value (in the manner provided in Section 2.02(e)) of the Warrants to
be automatically exercised; (ii) by 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the next
New York Business Day succeeding such Valuation Date, notify the Company (and
such other parties (not to exceed two) as the Company shall designate in
writing) of the Cash Settlement Value payable in respect of such exercised
Warrants; and (iii) advise the Company of such other matters relating to the
exercised Warrants as the Company shall reasonably request.

     In the case of Certificated Warrants subject to automatic exercise [(other
than Certificated Warrants subject to postponed exercise following the
occurrence of an Extraordinary Event or an Exercise Limitation Event as
described in Section 2.03(b))], the Company shall make available to the Warrant
Agent, not later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the second New York
Business Day following the Valuation Date for automatically exercised Warrants
(the "Automatic Funding Date"), funds in an amount equal to, and for the payment
of, the aggregate Cash Settlement Value of such Warrants. Subject to such funds
having been made available as provided in the preceding sentence, the Warrant
Agent will be responsible for making its payment available to the appropriate
Registered Holder in the form of a cashier's check or an official bank check, or
(in the case of payments of at least $100,000) by wire transfer to a U.S. Dollar
account maintained by such Registered Holder in the United States (at such
Registered Holder's election upon written notice to the Company and the Warrant
Agent), after 3:00 p.m., New York City time, but prior to the close of business,
on such Automatic Funding Date, against receipt by the Warrant Agent at the
Warrant Agent's Office from such Registered Holder of its Warrant Certificates.
Such payment shall be in the amount of the aggregate Cash Settlement Value in
respect of the Warrants, evidenced by such Warrant Certificates, that were
exercised automatically on the Expiration Date or on any Delisting Date, as the
case may be. Warrant Certificates delivered to the Warrant Agent shall
thereafter be promptly cancelled by the Warrant Agent.

     In the case of Book-Entry Warrants subject to automatic exercise [(other
than Warrants subject to postponed exercise following the occurrence of an
Extraordinary Event or an Exercise Limitation Event as described in Section
2.03(b))], the Company shall make available to the Warrant Agent, not later than
3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Automatic Funding Date, funds in an amount
equal to, and for the payment of, the aggregate Cash Settlement Value of such
Warrants. Subject to such funds having been made available as provided in the
preceding sentence, the Warrant Agent will be responsible for making funds
available to DTC, against receipt of the Global Warrant Certificate, after 3:00
p.m., New York City time, but prior to the close of business, on the Automatic
Funding Date. Such funds are to be in an amount equal to the aggregate Cash
Settlement Value of the Warrants subject to such automatic exercise.

     The Company will advise the Warrant Agent as soon as practicable of the
date of any expected delisting or permanent suspension of trading of the
Warrants and will immediately inform the Warrant Agent after the Company has
received notice that such delisting or suspension has occurred, but in no event
will notice of such delisting or suspension be given to the Warrant Agent later
than 9:30 a.m., New York City time, on the New York Business Day following the
date that such delisting or suspension occurs. The Company will use its best
efforts to notify the Warrantholders, or cause the Warrantholders to be
notified, as promptly as practicable of any expected delisting or suspension of
trading of the Warrants.

     [(b) Extraordinary Event and Exercise Limitation Event provisions, if
applicable.]

     Section 2.04. Limitation of Number of Exercisable Warrants. All exercises
of Warrants (other than on automatic exercise [or upon cancellation]) are
subject, at the Company's option, to the limitation that not more than [limit on
aggregate number of Warrants to be exercised on any day] Warrants in total may
be exercised on any Exercise Date and not more than [individual limit] Warrants
may be exercised by or on behalf of any beneficial owner, either individually or
in concert with any other beneficial owner, on any Exercise Date. If any New
York Business Day would otherwise, under the terms hereof, be the Exercise Date
in respect of more than [limit on aggregate number of Warrants to be exercised
on any day] Warrants, then at the Company's election (by giving notice thereof
to the Warrant Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the New
York Business Day immediately following such Exercise Date), [limit on aggregate
number of Warrants to be exercised on any day] of such Warrants shall be deemed
exercised on such Exercise Date (selected by the Warrant Agent on a pro rata
basis, but if, as a result of such pro rata selection, any Registered Holders
would be deemed to have exercised less than [minimum exercise amount] Warrants,
then the Warrant Agent shall first select additional

<PAGE>


amounts of such holders' Warrants so that no holder shall be deemed to have
exercised less than [minimum exercise amount] Warrants), and the remainder of
such Warrants (the "Remaining Warrants") shall be deemed exercised on the
following New York Business Day (notwithstanding the provisions of
Section 2.01(b)); provided that in the event that the aggregate number of such
Remaining Warrants, together with any additional Warrants with respect to which
the Exercise Date would be such following New York Business Day, exceeds the
[limit on aggregate number of Warrants to be exercised on any day] the
provisions of this Section 2.04 shall apply to the exercise of such Remaining
Warrants and such additional Warrants on such following New York Business
Day and successively until the limitations set forth in this Section 2.04 are no
longer exceeded; provided further that, any such Remaining Warrants shall be
deemed exercised before any such additional Warrants.

     If any beneficial owner of Warrants attempts to exercise more than
[individual limit] Warrants on any New York Business Day, then at the Company's
election (as notified to the Warrant Agent by giving notice thereof to the
Warrant Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the next New
York Business Day following such Day) [individual limit] of such Warrants shall
be deemed exercised on such New York Business Day and the remainder of such
Warrants shall be deemed exercised on the following New York Business Day
(notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.01(b)); provided, that in the event
that the aggregate number of such remaining Warrants, together with any
additional Warrants of such beneficial owner with respect to which the Exercise
Date would be such following New York Business Day, exceeds [individual limit];
at the Company's election (as notified in the manner described above) the
provisions of this Section 2.04 shall apply to the exercise of such remaining
Warrants and such additional Warrants on such following New York Business Day
and successively until the limitations set forth in this Section 2.04 are no
longer exceeded; provided further, that, any such remaining Warrants shall be
deemed exercised before any such additional Warrants of such beneficial owner.
The date on which any Warrant is deemed exercised under the preceding sentences
shall for all purposes of this Agreement be the "Exercise Date" in respect of
such Warrants.

     Section 2.05. Covenant of the Company. The Company covenants, for the
benefit of the Warrantholders, that it will not seek the delisting of the
Warrants from, or suspension of their trading on, the [exchange on which the
Warrants are listed] unless the Company has, at the same time, arranged for
listing on another United States national securities exchange.

     Section 2.06. Return of Money Held Unclaimed for Two Years. Except as
otherwise provided herein, any money deposited with or paid to the Warrant



<PAGE>

Agent for the payment of the Cash Settlement Value [or Alternative Settlement
Amount] of any Warrants and not applied but remaining unclaimed for two years
after the date upon which such Cash Settlement Value [or Alternative Settlement
Amount] shall have become due and payable shall be repaid by the Warrant Agent
to the Company, at the Company's request, and the holders of such Warrants shall
thereafter look only to the Company for any payment which such holders may be
entitled to collect and all liability of the Warrant Agent with respect to such
money shall thereupon cease; provided that the Warrant Agent, before making any
such repayment, may at the expense of the Company notify (i) in the case of
Certificated Warrants, the Registered Holders or (ii) in the case of Book-Entry
Warrants, the Participants concerned, that said money has not been so applied
and remains unclaimed and that after a date named in the notification any
unclaimed balance of said money then remaining will be returned to the Company.

     Section 2.07. Return of Global Warrant Certificate. In the event a Global
Warrant Certificate is issued, at such time as all of the Warrants evidenced by
such Certificate have been exercised (including pursuant to an automatic
exercise) [or otherwise cancelled] and all payments to the Participants made as
provided herein, the Warrant Agent shall dispose of the cancelled Global Warrant
Certificate in accordance with its customary procedures (unless instructed by
the Company to deliver the Global Warrant Certificate to the Company) and shall
provide a certificate of disposition to the Company.

              Other Provisions Relating to Rights of Warrantholders

     Section 3.01. Warrantholder of Warrant May Enforce Rights. Notwithstanding
any of the provisions of this Agreement, any Warrantholder, without the consent
of the Warrant Agent, may, in and for its own behalf, enforce, and may institute
and maintain, any suit, action or proceeding against the Company suitable to
enforce, or otherwise in respect of, its right to exercise, and to receive
payment for, its Warrants as provided in this Agreement.

               Warrants Acquired by the Company; Payment of Taxes

     Section 4.01. Warrants Acquired by the Company. In the event the Company
shall purchase or otherwise acquire Warrants, such Warrants may, at the option
of the Company, be (i) in the case of Certificated Warrants, delivered to the
Warrant Agent, and if so delivered, the Warrant Agent shall promptly cancel such
Warrants on the records of the Warrant Agent or (ii) in the case of Book-Entry
Warrants, surrendered free through a Participant to the Depository for credit to
the account of the Warrant Agent maintained at the Depository, and if so
credited, the Warrant Agent shall promptly note the cancellation of such
Warrants by notation on the records of the Warrant Agent and the Warrant Agent
shall cause its records to be marked to reflect the reduction in the number of
Warrants represented by the Global Warrant Certificate by the number of Warrants
so cancelled promptly after such account is credited. In the case of Book-Entry
Warrants, such Warrants may also, at the option of the Company, be resold by the
Company directly or to or through any of its affiliates in lieu of being
surrendered to the Depository. No Warrant Certificate shall be countersigned in
lieu of or in exchange for any Warrant which is cancelled as provided herein,
except as otherwise expressly permitted by this Agreement.

     Any cancelled Warrant Certificate held by the Warrant Agent under this
Agreement shall be disposed of by the Warrant Agent in accordance with its
customary procedures unless otherwise directed by the Company, and the Warrant
Agent shall deliver a certificate of disposition to the Company evidencing the
same.

     Section 4.02. Payment of Taxes. The Company will pay all stamp, withholding
and other duties, if any, attributable to the initial issuance of Warrants;
provided, however, that, anything in this Agreement to the contrary
notwithstanding, the Company shall not be required to pay any tax or other
governmental charge which may be payable in respect of any transfer involving
any beneficial or record interest in, or ownership interest of, any Warrants,
Warrant Certificates or Global Warrant Certificate which tax or other
governmental charge shall be paid by the appropriate Warrantholder or Registered
Holder.

                          Concerning the Warrant Agent

     Section 5.01. Warrant Agent. The Company hereby appoints
[_____________________] as Warrant Agent of the Company in respect of the
Warrants upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein; and
[_____________________] hereby accepts such appointment. The Warrant Agent shall
have the powers and authority granted to and conferred upon it in this Agreement
and such further powers and authority to act on behalf of the Company as the
Company may hereafter grant to or confer upon it with its consent. All of the
terms and provisions with respect to such powers and authority contained in any
Warrant Certificates or the Global Warrant Certificate are subject to and
governed by the terms and provisions hereof.

     Section 5.02. Conditions of Warrant Agent's Obligations. The Warrant Agent
accepts its obligations herein set forth upon the terms and conditions hereof,
including the following, to all of which the Company agrees and to all of which
the rights hereunder of the holders from time to time of the Warrants shall be
subject:

     (a) The Company agrees promptly to pay the Warrant Agent the compensation
to be agreed upon with the Company for all services rendered by the Warrant
Agent and to reimburse the Warrant Agent for its reasonable out-of- pocket
expenses (including attorneys' fees and expenses) incurred by the Warrant Agent
without negligence, bad faith or breach of this Agreement on its part in
connection with the services rendered by it hereunder. The Company also agrees
to indemnify the Warrant Agent for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss,
liability or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses)
incurred without negligence, bad faith or breach of this Agreement on the part
of the Warrant Agent, arising out of or in connection with its acting as such
Warrant Agent hereunder, as well as the reasonable costs and expenses of
defending against any claim of liability in the premises. The obligations of the
Company under this Section 5.02(a) shall survive the termination of this
Agreement.

     (b) In acting under this Agreement, the Warrant Agent is acting solely as
agent of the Company and does not assume any obligation or relationship of
agency or trust for or with any of the owners or holders of the Warrants.

     (c) The Warrant Agent may consult with counsel satisfactory to it
(including counsel to the Company), and the opinion of such counsel 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
opinion of such counsel.

<PAGE>


     (d) The Warrant Agent shall be protected and shall incur no liability for
or in respect of any action taken or thing suffered by it in reliance upon any
notice, direction, consent, certificate, affidavit, statement or other paper or
document reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been presented or
signed by the proper parties.

     (e) The Warrant Agent, and its officers, directors and employees, may
become the owner of, or acquire any interest in, any Warrants or other
obligations of the Company, with the same rights that it or they would have if
it were not the Warrant Agent hereunder and, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, it or they may engage or be interested in any financial or other
transaction with the Company and may act on behalf of, or as depository, trustee
or agent for, any committee or body of owners or holders of Warrants or other
obligations of the Company as freely as if it were not the Warrant Agent
hereunder.

     (f) The Warrant Agent shall not be under any liability for interest on any
monies at any time received by it pursuant to any of the provisions of this
Agreement nor shall it be obligated to segregate such monies from other monies
held by it, except as required by law. The Warrant Agent shall not be
responsible for advancing funds on behalf of the Company.

     (g) The Warrant Agent shall not be under any responsibility with respect to
the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement or the execution and delivery
hereof (except the due authorization, execution and delivery hereof by the
Warrant Agent) or with respect to the validity or execution of the Warrant
Certificates or the Global Warrant Certificate (except its countersignature
thereof).

     (h) The recitals contained herein and in the Warrant Certificates or the
Global Warrant Certificate (except as to the Warrant Agent's countersignature
thereon) shall be taken as the statements of the Company, and the Warrant Agent
assumes no responsibility for the correctness of the same.

     (i) The Warrant Agent shall be obligated to perform such duties as are
herein specifically set forth, and no implied duties or obligations shall be
read into this Agreement against the Warrant Agent. The Warrant Agent shall not
be under any obligation to take any action hereunder likely to involve it in any
expense or liability, the payment of which is not, in its reasonable opinion,
assured to it. The Warrant Agent shall not be accountable or under any duty or
responsibility for the application by the Company of any proceeds. The Warrant
Agent shall have no duty or responsibility in case of any default by the Company
in the performance of its covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement or
in any Warrant Certificate or the Global Warrant Certificate or in the case of
the receipt of any

<PAGE>


written demand from a holder of a Warrant with respect to such default,
including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any duty or
responsibility to initiate or attempt to initiate any proceedings at law or
otherwise or, except as provided in Section 6.02 hereof, to make any demand upon
the Company.

     Section 5.03. Resignation and Appointment of Successor. (a) The Company
agrees, for the benefit of the holders from time to time of the Warrants, that
there shall at all times be a Warrant Agent hereunder until all the Warrants are
no longer outstanding or until monies for the payment of all outstanding
Warrants, if any, shall have been paid to the Warrant Agent and shall have been
returned to the Company as provided in Section 2.06, whichever occurs earlier.

     (b) The Warrant Agent may at any time resign as such agent by giving
written notice to the Company of such intention on its part, specifying the date
on which its desired resignation shall become effective, subject to the
appointment of a successor Warrant Agent and acceptance of such appointment by
such successor Warrant Agent as hereinafter provided. The Warrant Agent
hereunder may be removed at any time by the filing with it of an instrument in
writing signed by or on behalf of the Company and specifying such removal and
the date when it shall become effective. Such resignation or removal shall take
effect upon the appointment by the Company, as hereinafter provided, of a
successor Warrant Agent (which shall be a banking institution organized under
the laws of the United States of America or one of the states thereof, have a
combined capital and surplus of at least $100,000,000 (as set forth in its most
recent reports of condition published pursuant to law or to the requirements of
any United States federal or state regulatory or supervisory authority) and
having an office in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York) and the
acceptance of such appointment by such successor Warrant Agent. In the event a
successor Warrant Agent has not been appointed and accepted its duties within 90
days of the Warrant Agent's notice of resignation, the Warrant Agent may apply
to any court of competent jurisdiction for the designation of a successor
Warrant Agent. The obligation of the Company under Section 5.02(a) shall
continue to the extent set forth therein notwithstanding the resignation or
removal of the Warrant Agent.

     (c) In case at any time the Warrant Agent shall give notice of its intent
to resign, or shall be removed, or shall become incapable of acting, or shall be
adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or make an assignment for the benefit of its
creditors, or consent to the appointment of a receiver or custodian of all or
any substantial part of its property, or shall admit in writing its inability to
pay or meet its debts as they mature, or if a receiver or custodian of it or of
all or any substantial part of its property shall be appointed, or if any public
officer shall have taken charge or control of the Warrant Agent or of its
property or affairs, for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or
liquidation, a successor Warrant

<PAGE>


Agent, qualified as aforesaid, shall be promptly appointed by the Company by an
instrument in writing, filed with the successor Warrant Agent. Upon the
appointment as aforesaid of a successor Warrant Agent and acceptance by the
latter of such appointment, the Warrant Agent so superseded shall cease to be
Warrant Agent hereunder.

     (d) Any successor Warrant Agent appointed hereunder shall execute,
acknowledge and deliver to its predecessor and to the Company an instrument
accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon such successor Warrant
Agent, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all
the authority, rights, powers, trusts, immunities, duties and obligations of
such predecessor with like effect as if originally named as Warrant Agent
hereunder, and such predecessor, upon payment of its charges and disbursements
then unpaid, shall thereupon become obligated to transfer, deliver and pay over,
and such successor Warrant Agent shall be entitled to receive, all monies,
securities and other property on deposit with or held by such predecessor
(including, without limitation, the Warrant Register), as Warrant Agent
hereunder.

     (e) Any corporation into which the Warrant Agent hereunder may be merged or
converted or any corporation with which the Warrant Agent may be consolidated,
or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to
which the Warrant Agent shall be a party or any corporation to which the Warrant
Agent shall sell or otherwise transfer all or substantially all the corporate
agency assets and business of the Warrant Agent, provided that it shall be
qualified as aforesaid, shall be the successor Warrant Agent under this
Agreement without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the
part of any of the parties hereto.

                                  Miscellaneous

     Section 6.01. Amendment. (a) This Agreement and the terms of the Warrants
may be amended by the Company, the Warrant Agent [and the Determination Agent],
without the consent of the Warrantholders, for the purpose of curing any
ambiguity, or of curing, correcting or supplementing any defective or
inconsistent provision contained herein or therein or in any other manner which
the Company may deem necessary or desirable and which will not materially and
adversely affect the interests of the owners or holders of the Warrants.
Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6.01 to the contrary, this Agreement
may not be amended to provide for the countersigning by the Warrant Agent of
Warrant Certificates evidencing in the aggregate in excess of [maximum

Warrants in excess of [maximum number of issuable Warrants] have been approved
for listing on such exchange.

     (b) The Company, the Warrant Agent [and the Determination Agent] may modify
or amend this Agreement, with the consent of Warrantholders (by vote of

in number of the then outstanding Warrants affected by such modification or
amendment, for any purpose; provided, however, that no such modification or
amendment that [increases or decreases the price (in the Base Currency) provided
in the Warrants at which the Warrantholder may purchase or sell the amount of
Reference Currency provided in such Warrants], shortens the period of time
during which the Warrants may be exercised, or otherwise materially and
adversely affects the exercise rights of the Warrantholders or reduces the
percentage of the number of outstanding Warrants, the consent of whose holders
is required for modification or amendment of this Agreement, may be made without
the consent of each Warrantholder affected thereby. In the case of Warrants
evidenced by a Global Warrant Certificate, the Company and the Warrant Agent
shall be entitled to rely upon certification in form satisfactory to each of
them that any requisite consent has been obtained from holders of beneficial
ownership interests in the relevant Global Warrant Certificate. Such
certification may be provided by Participants acting on behalf of such
beneficial owners of Warrants, provided that any such certification is
accompanied by a certification from the Depository as to the Warrant holdings of
such Participants.

     Section 6.02. Notices and Demands to the Company, the Warrant Agent [and
the Determination Agent]. If the Warrant Agent [or the Determination Agent]

Agent [or the Determination Agent, as the case may be], shall promptly forward
such notice or demand to the Company.

Agent with respect to this Agreement shall be addressed to

Company [or the Determination Agent], respectively).

     Section 6.04. Notices to Holders. The Company may cause to have notice
given to the holders of Warrants by providing the Warrant Agent with a form of

with the custom and practices of the Depository.

     Section 6.05. Obtaining of Approvals. The Company will from time to time
take all action which may be necessary to obtain and keep effective (a) any and
all permits, consents and approvals of governmental agencies and authorities and
the [exchange on which the Warrants are listed] or any successor national
securities exchange and (b) any and all filings or notices under United States
Federal and State securities laws, which may be or become required in connection
with the issuance, sale, trading, transfer or delivery of the Warrant
Certificates, the Global Warrant Certificate or the exercise of the Warrants.

     Section 6.06. Persons Having Rights Under This Agreement. Nothing in this
Agreement expressed or implied and nothing that may be inferred from any of the

right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement or of any covenant,
condition, stipulation, promise or agreement hereof; and all covenants,
conditions, stipulations, promises and agreements contained in this Agreement
shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Company, the Warrant Agent,
and their respective successors, the registered holder of the Global Warrant
Certificate and of the Warrantholders.

     Section 6.07. Inspection of Agreement. A copy of this Agreement shall be
available at all reasonable times at the Warrant Agent's Office for inspection
by the Warrantholders, Participants or any person certified by any Participant
to be an indirect participant of the Depository or any person certified by any
Participant to be a Warrantholder, in each case, on behalf of whom such
Participant holds Warrants.

     Section 6.08. Headings. The descriptive headings of the several Articles
and Sections of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not
control or affect the meaning or construction of any of the provisions hereof.

<PAGE>

     Section 6.09. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original; but
such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

that if such amount is less than or equal to zero, then the Cash Settlement
Value shall be zero. In no event shall a Warrantholder be entitled to any
interest on any Cash Settlement Value.

     Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Warrant
Agreement, each Warrant may be exercised, on any New York Business Day
during the period from its date of issuance until 3:00 p.m., New York City time,
on the earlier of (i) the New York Business Day immediately preceding the date
established in or pursuant to a Board Resolution or Resolutions upon which the
right to exercise the Warrants expires (the "Expiration Date") and (ii) any
Delisting Date (as defined herein). Any Warrant not exercised (including by
reason of any postponed exercise as described on the reverse hereof or in the
Warrant Agreement) at or before 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the earlier of
(i) the New York Business Day immediately preceding the Expiration Date and
(ii) any Delisting Date, will be automatically exercised.

                             J.P. MORGAN CHASE & CO.

     The Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate are part of a duly
authorized issue of Warrants issued by the Company pursuant to a Warrant
Agreement, dated as of [________________] (the "Warrant Agreement"), among the
Company, [_____________________] (the "Warrant Agent") and
[_____________________] (the "Determination Agent") and is subject to the terms
and provisions contained in the Warrant Agreement, to all of which terms and
provisions each Warrantholder consents by acceptance of this Warrant Certificate
and which Warrant Agreement is hereby incorporated by reference in and made a
part of this Warrant Certificate. A copy of the Warrant Agreement is on file at
the Warrant Agent's Office (as defined herein).

     The Warrants are unsecured contractual obligations of the Company and rank
on a parity with the Company's other unsecured contractual obligations and with
the Company's unsecured and unsubordinated debt.

     Subject to the provisions hereof and the Warrant Agreement, each Warrant
may be exercised, during the period from its date of issuance until 3:00 p.m.,
New York City time, on the earlier of (i) the New York Business Day immediately
preceding the Expiration Date and (ii) any Delisting Date (as defined herein) by
delivering or causing to be delivered this Warrant Certificate and attached
Exercise Notice (or an Exercise Notice in substantially identical form), duly
completed and executed, to the Warrant Agent's offices in the Borough of
Manhattan, The City of New York (the "Warrant Agent's Office"), which are, on
the date hereof, located at [_____________________] or at such other address as
the Warrant Agent may specify from time to time.

     Each Warrant entitles the Warrantholder to receive, upon exercise
(including automatic exercise), the Cash Settlement Value of such Warrant,
[except that, under the circumstances described below and in the Warrant
Agreement, such Warrantholder may instead receive the Alternative Settlement
Amount for such Warrant]. The "Cash Settlement Value" of a Warrant shall be an
amount in [payment currency] equal to [formula or method of calculation for cash
settlement value]; provided, however, that if such amount is less than or equal
to zero, then the Cash Settlement Value shall be zero.

                                      A-3

     [The Company has appointed [_____________________] to be its Determination
Agent to make such calculations as may be required upon the occurrence of
certain circumstances, as described in the Warrant Agreement and herein. The
Determination Agent shall act as an independent expert and not as an agent of
the Company, and, unless otherwise provided by the Warrant Agreement, its
calculations and determinations under the Warrant Agreement and this Warrant
Certificate shall, absent manifest error, be final and binding on the Company,
the Warrant Agent and the Warrantholders. Any such calculations will be made
available to a Warrantholder for inspection at the Warrant Agent's office. The
Determination Agent will have no responsibility for good faith errors or
omissions in calculating or disseminating information regarding the adjustments
or calculations by the Determination Agent in order to arrive at a calculation
the Cash Settlement Value [or the Alternative Settlement Amount, as
applicable].]

     Subject to the Warrant Agreement and this Warrant Certificate, the
"Valuation Date" for a Warrant will be the first New York Business Day following
the applicable Exercise Date, subject to postponement [upon the occurrence of an
Extraordinary Event or Exercise Limitation Event or] as a result of the exercise
of a number of Warrants exceeding the limits on exercise, all as described
below. Except for Warrants subject to automatic exercise, the "Exercise Date"
for a Warrant will be (i) the New York Business Day on which the Warrant Agent
receives the Warrant and Exercise Notice in proper form with respect to such
Warrant, if received at or prior to 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on such day,
or (ii) if the Warrant Agent receives such Warrant or Exercise Notice after 3:00
P.M., New York City time, on a New York Business Day, then the next New York
Business Day succeeding the New York Business Day on which such Warrant or
Exercise Notice is received. All Warrants for which the Warrant Agent has not
received a valid Exercise Notice at or prior to 3:00 P.M., New York City time,
on (i) the New York Business Day immediately preceding the Expiration Date or
(ii) any Delisting Date, as the case may be, or for which the Warrant Agent has
received a valid Exercise Notice but with respect to which timely delivery of
the relevant Warrants has not been made, together with any Warrants the
Valuation Date for which has at such time been postponed as described below,
will be automatically exercised. The Exercise Date for such Warrants will be the
Expiration Date or any Delisting Date, as the case may be, or, if such date is
not a New York Business Day, the next succeeding New York Business Day. The
Warrant Agent will obtain the Spot Rate (determined as of the first New York
Business Day following such date, which will be the Valuation Date for such
Warrants [except in the case of a postponed exercise following the occurrence of
an Extraordinary Event or an Exercise Limitation Event]) and will determine the
Cash Settlement Value, if any, of such Warrants.


                                       A-4
<PAGE>

     If the Exercise Notice is not rejected as provided in the Warrant
Agreement, then the Warrant Agent [or the Determination Agent, as the case may
be,] will determine the Cash Settlement Value of the exercised Warrants in
accordance with the terms of the Warrant Agreement. Except in the case of
Warrants subject to automatic exercise [and for Warrants that upon exercise
entitle the holder thereof to receive an Alternative Settlement Amount in lieu
of the Cash Settlement Value], if on any Valuation Date the Cash Settlement
Value for any Warrants then exercised would be zero, then the attempted exercise
of any such Warrants shall be void and of no effect and the Warrant Certificate
evidencing such Warrants will be returned to the registered holder of the
Warrant by first class mail at the Company's expense and such holder shall be
permitted to re-exercise such Warrants prior to the Expiration Date or any
Delisting Date, as the case may be.

     Except in the case of Warrants subject to automatic exercise [and for
Warrants that upon exercise entitle the holder thereof to receive an Alternative
Settlement Amount in lieu of the Cash Settlement Value], if the Company has made
adequate funds available to the Warrant Agent in a timely manner which shall in
no event be later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the second New York
Business Day following the Valuation Date, (the "Funding Date"), the Warrant
Agent will be responsible for making payment available to each Registered Holder
of an exercised Warrant in the form of a cashier's check or an official bank
check, or (in the case of payments of at least $100,000) by wire transfer to a
U.S. dollar bank account maintained by such registered holder in the United
States (at the registered holder's election as specified in the Exercise Notice)
after 3:00 p.m., New York City time, but prior to the close of business on such
Funding Date against receipt by the Warrant Agent at the Warrant Agent's office
of such Registered Holder's Warrant Certificates. Such payment shall be in the
amount equal to the aggregate Cash Settlement Value of the Warrants evidenced by
such Warrant Certificates.

     With respect to automatically exercised Warrants, if the Company has made
adequate funds available to the Warrant Agent not later than 3:00 p.m., New York
City time, on the second New York Business Day following the Valuation Date for
automatically exercised Warrants (the "Automatic Funding Date"), funds in an
amount equal to, and for the payment of, the aggregate Cash Settlement Value of
such Warrants, the Warrant Agent will thereafter be responsible for making
payment available to each Registered Holder of the Warrants in the form of a
cashier's check or an official bank check, or (in the case of payments of at
least $100,000) by wire transfer to a U.S. dollar bank account maintained by
such holder in the United States (at such holder's election and upon proper
notice being given to the Company and the Warrant Agent), after 3:00 p.m., New
York City time, but prior to the close of business on such Automatic



                                       A-5
<PAGE>

Funding Date, against receipt by the Warrant Agent at the Warrant Agent's Office
of such Registered Holder's Warrant Certificates. Such payment shall be in the
amount equal to the aggregate Cash Settlement Value of the Warrants evidenced
by such Warrant Certificates.

     [Extraordinary Event and Exercise Limitation Event provisions, if
applicable.]

     All exercises of Warrants (other than on automatic exercise [or upon
cancellation]) are subject, at the Company's option, to the limitation that not
more than [limit on aggregate number of Warrants to be exercised on any day]
Warrants in total may be exercised on any Exercise Date and not more than
[individual limit] Warrants may be exercised by or on behalf of any beneficial
owner, either individually or in concert with any other beneficial owner, on any
Exercise Date. If any New York Business Day would otherwise, under the terms
hereof, be the Exercise Date in respect of more than [limit on aggregate number
of Warrants to be exercised on any day] Warrants, then at the Company's election
(by giving notice thereof to the Warrant Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., New
York City time, on the New York Business Day immediately following such Exercise
Date), [limit on aggregate number of Warrants to be exercised on any day] of
such Warrants shall be deemed exercised on such Exercise Date (selected by the
Warrant Agent on a pro rata basis, but if, as a result of such pro rata
selection, any registered holders of Warrants would be deemed to have exercised
less than [the minimum exercise amount] Warrants, then the Warrant Agent shall
first select an additional amount of such holders' Warrants so that no holder
shall be deemed to have exercised less than [the minimum exercise amount]
Warrants), and the remainder of such Warrants (the "Remaining Warrants") shall
be deemed exercised on the following New York Business Day (notwithstanding to
the provisions of the Warrant Agreement); provided that in the event that the
aggregate number of such Remaining Warrants, together with any additional
Warrants with respect to which the Exercise Date would be such following New
York Business Day, exceeds [limit on aggregate number of Warrants to be
exercised on any day] the provisions of this paragraph shall apply to the
exercise of such Remaining Warrants and such additional Warrants on such
following New York Business Day and successively until the limitations set forth
in this paragraph and in the Warrant Agreement are no longer exceeded; provided
further, that any such Remaining Warrants shall be deemed exercised before any
such additional Warrants.

         If any beneficial owner of Warrants attempts to exercise more than
[individual limit] Warrants on any New York Business Day, then at the
Company's election (as notified to the Warrant Agent by giving notice thereof to
the Warrant Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the New




                                       A-6
<PAGE>

York Business Day following such New York Business Day), [individual limit] of
such Warrants shall be deemed exercised on such New York Business Day and the
remainder of such Warrants shall be deemed exercised on the following New York
Business Day (notwithstanding the provisions in the Warrant Agreement) provided
that in the event that the aggregate number of such remaining Warrants, together
with any additional Warrants of such beneficial owner with respect to which the
Exercise Date would be such following New York Business Day, exceeds [individual
limit], at the Company's election (as notified in the manner described above),
the provisions of this paragraph shall apply to the exercise of such remaining
Warrants and such additional Warrants on such following New York Business Day
and successively until the limitations set forth in this paragraph and in the
Warrant Agreement are no longer exceeded; provided further, that any such
remaining Warrants shall be deemed exercised before any such additional Warrants
of such beneficial owner. The date on which any Warrant is deemed exercised
under the preceding sentences shall for all purposes of this Warrant Certificate
be deemed to be the "Exercise Date" in respect of such Warrants.

     Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer, the Company, the
Warrant Agent, and any agent of the Company or the Warrant Agent, may deem and
treat the registered owner hereof as the absolute owner of the Warrants
evidenced hereby (notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing
hereon) for any purpose whatsoever, and as the person entitled to exercise the
rights represented by the Warrants evidenced hereby, and neither the Company nor
the Warrant Agent, nor any agent of the Company or the Warrant Agent, shall be
affected by any notice to the contrary.

     The Warrant Agent will, in accordance with the Warrant Agreement, from time
to time register the transfer of this Warrant Certificate upon surrender hereof
at the Warrant Agent's office accompanied by a written instrument or instruments
of transfer in form satisfactory to the Warrant Agent duly executed by, the
registered holder(s) hereof, a duly appointed legal representative or duly
authorized attorney. Such signature must be guaranteed by a bank or trust
company having a correspondent office in New York City or by a broker or dealer
which is a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (the
"NASD") or by a member of a national securities exchange. A new Warrant
Certificate shall be issued to the transferee(s) upon any such registration of
transfer, and this Warrant Certificate shall be cancelled by the Warrant Agent.

     In order to be exchanged for a Warrant in book-entry form, a Warrant
Certificate must be delivered to DTC, in proper form for deposit, by a
Participant. Accordingly, unless Warrants are purchased in book-entry form, a
Warrantholder who is not a Participant must deliver his Warrant Certificate, in
proper form for


                                       A-7
<PAGE>

deposit, to a Participant, either directly or through an indirect participant
(such as a bank, brokerage firm, dealer or trust company that clears through, or
maintains a custodial relationship with, a Participant) or brokerage firm which
maintains an account with a Participant, in order to have its Warrant
Certificate exchanged for a Warrant in book-entry form.

     Warrant Certificates received by The Depository Trust Company ("DTC") for
exchange will be exchanged for Warrants in book-entry form by the close of
business on the New York Business Day that such Certificates are received by DTC
(if received by DTC at its then applicable cut-off time for same day credit) or
on the following New York Business Day (if received by DTC at its then
applicable cut-off time for next day credit). Warrants surrendered at any time
for exchange for book-entry Warrants may not be exercised or delivered for
settlement or transfer until such exchange has been effected. The Company has
been informed by Clearstream and Euroclear that such clearing agencies will
clear Warrants in book-entry form and that Warrants may not be held in
certificated form through their facilities. Once a Warrantholder has elected to
exchange for a Warrant in book-entry form, such Warrantholder may hold his
Warrants only in book-entry form and will not be able to change his election or
withdraw from the book-entry system or thereafter except as provided in the
Warrant Agreement.

     As provided in the Warrant Agreement and subject to certain limitations,
this Warrant Certificate may be exchanged for other Warrant Certificates,
representing a like number of Warrants, upon surrender to the Warrant Agent at
the Warrant Agent's Office of this Warrant Certificate. The Company will
thereupon execute, and the Warrant Agent will countersign and deliver, one or
more new Warrant Certificates representing such like number of Warrants. Upon
surrender of this Warrant Certificate for exchange, the Warrant Agent shall
cancel this Warrant Certificate.

     No service charge will be made for any registration of transfer or exchange
of this Warrant Certificate, but the Company may require the payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in
relation thereto, other than exchanges not involving any transfer.

     Capitalized terms included herein but not defined herein have the meanings
assigned thereto in the Warrant Agreement.

     For purposes of this Certificate the "Reference Currency" means the
[Reference Currency] and the "Base Currency" means the [Base Currency]. [[The
"Spot Rate"] for any date means the offered spot rate of [insert Base Currency]
per [insert Reference Currency] as quoted by [________________] (the "Spot Rate
Reference Bank") at 10:00 A.M., New York City time, on such


                                       A-8
<PAGE>

date, or if such bank is not quoting such rate at such time, the rate quoted by
such other leading bank in the foreign exchange markets as may be selected by
the Company in good faith and notified to the Warrant Agent.] [Alternative
provision for calculation of Spot Rate.] The offered spot rate of any applicable
currency shall be calculated to four (4) decimal places. References in this
Agreement to "U.S. dollars", "U.S.$" or "$" are to the lawful currency of the
United States of America [other currency or currency unit]. As used herein, "New
York Business Day" means any day other than a Saturday or a Sunday or a day on
which commercial banks in New York City are required or authorized by law or
executive order to remain closed.

     The Warrant Agreement and the terms of the Warrants are subject to
amendment, as provided in the Warrant Agreement.

     This Warrant Certificate shall be governed by, and interpreted in
accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

                     Global Warrant Certificate Representing

                             [Title of the Warrants]

     This certifies that CEDE & CO., or registered assigns, is the Registered
Holder of the number of [title of the Warrants] (the "Warrants") set forth from
time to time on Schedule A hereto. Each Warrant entitles the beneficial owner
thereof (each a "Warrantholder") to receive, subject to the conditions set forth
herein and in the Warrant Agreement referred to below, from J.P. Morgan Chase &
Co. (the "Company") the Cash Settlement Value in [name of payment currency]
equal to [formula or method of calculation for cash settlement value]; provided,
however, that if such amount is less than or equal to zero, then the Cash
Settlement Value shall be zero. In no event shall a Warrantholder be entitled to
any interest on any Cash Settlement Value.

     Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Warrant
Agreement, each Warrant may be exercised, on any New York Business Day
during the period from its date of issuance until 3:00 p.m., New York City time,




                                     A-1-11


<PAGE>

on the earlier of (i) the New York Business Day immediately preceding the date
(established in or pursuant to a Board Resolution or Resolutions) upon which the
right to exercise the Warrants expires (the "Expiration Date") and (ii) any
Delisting Date (as defined herein). Any Warrant not exercised (including by
reason of any postponed exercise as described herein and in the Warrant
Agreement) at or before 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the earlier of (i) the
New York Business Day immediately preceding the Expiration Date and (ii) any
Delisting Date, will be automatically exercised.

     This Global Warrant Certificate shall not be valid unless countersigned by
the Warrant Agent.

     The Warrants evidenced by this Global Warrant Certificate are part of a
duly authorized issue of Warrants issued by the Company pursuant to a Warrant
Agreement, dated as of [________________] (the "Warrant Agreement"), among the
Company, [_____________________] (the "Warrant Agent"), and
[_____________________] (the "Determination Agent"), and is subject to the terms
and provisions contained in the Warrant Agreement, to all of which terms and
provisions the Warrantholders, the entities through which such Warrantholders
hold their beneficial interests in the Warrants and the Registered Holder of
this Global Warrant Certificate consent by acceptance of this Global Warrant
Certificate by the Depository and which Warrant Agreement is hereby incorporated
by reference in and made a part of this Global Warrant Certificate. A copy of
the Warrant Agreement is on file at the Warrant Agent's Office.

     The Warrants are unsecured contractual obligations of the Company and rank
on a parity with the Company's other unsecured contractual obligations and with
the Company's unsecured and unsubordinated debt.

     Subject to the provisions hereof and the Warrant Agreement, each Warrant
represented by this Global Warrant Certificate (each a "Book-Entry Warrant") may
be exercised on any New York Business Day until 3:00 P.M., New York City time,
on the earlier of (i) the New York Business Day immediately preceding the
Expiration Date and (ii) any Delisting Date, by causing (x) such Warrant to be
transferred free to the Warrant Agent on the records of the Depository in
accordance with the Depository's Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian procedures and
(y) a duly completed and executed Exercise Notice to be received by the Warrant
Agent from a Participant acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of the
Warrantholder; provided, however, that Exercise Notices are subject to rejection
by the Warrant Agent as provided herein and in the Warrant Agreement.

     In the case of Book-Entry Warrants held through the facilities of
Clearstream or Euroclear, a Warrantholder may exercise each Warrant on any



                                     A-1-12
<PAGE>

New York Business Day until 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the earlier of (i)
the New York Business Day immediately preceding the Expiration Date and (ii) any
Delisting Date by causing (x) such Warrant to be transferred to the Warrant
Agent (in accordance with the preceding paragraph), by giving appropriate
instructions either to Clearstream or to the participant holding his Warrants in
Euroclear, as the case may be, and (y) a duly completed and executed Exercise
Notice to be delivered on behalf of the Warrantholder by Clearstream, in the
case of Warrants held through Clearstream, or such participant, in the case of
Warrants held through Euroclear, to the Warrant Agent.

     Each Warrant entitles the Warrantholder to receive, upon exercise
(including automatic exercise), the Cash Settlement Value of such Warrant [,
except that, under the circumstances described below and in the Warrant
Agreement, such Warrantholder may instead receive the Alternative Settlement
Amount for such Warrant]. The "Cash Settlement Value" of a Warrant shall be an
amount in [payment currency] equal to [formula or method of calculation for cash
settlement value]; provided however, that if such amount is less than or equal
to zero, then the Cash Settlement Value shall be zero.

     [The Company has appointed [_____________________], as Determination Agent,
to make such calculations as may be required upon the occurrence of certain
circumstances, as described in the Warrant Agreement and herein. The
Determination Agent shall act as an independent expert and not as an agent of
the Company, and, unless otherwise provided by the Warrant Agreement, its
calculations and determinations under the Warrant Agreement and this Global
Warrant Certificate shall, absent manifest error, be final and binding on the
Company, the Warrant Agent and the Warrantholders. Any such calculations will be
made available to a Warrantholder for inspection at the Warrant Agent's office.
The Determination Agent will have no responsibility for good faith errors or
omissions in calculating or disseminating information regarding the adjustments
or calculations by the Determination Agent in order to arrive at a calculation
of the Cash Settlement Value or the Alternative Settlement Amount, as
applicable.]

     Except for Warrants subject to automatic exercise or Warrants held through
the facilities of Clearstream or Euroclear, the "Exercise Date" for a Warrant
will be (i) the New York Business Day on which the Warrant Agent receives the
Warrant and Exercise Notice in proper form with respect to such Warrant, if
received at or prior to 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on such day, or (ii) if
the Warrant Agent receives such Warrant or Exercise Notice after 3:00 P.M., New
York City time, on a New York Business Day, then the next New York Business Day
succeeding the New York Business Day on which such



                                     A-1-13

<PAGE>

Warrant or Exercise Notice is received. In the case of Warrants held through the
facilities of Clearstream or Euroclear, except for Warrants subject to automatic
exercise, the "Exercise Date" for a Warrant means (i) the New York Business Day
on which the Warrant Agent receives (by facsimile transmission) the Exercise
Notice in proper form with respect to such Warrant if such Exercise Notice is
received at or prior to 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on such day, provided,
that the Warrant being exercised is received by the Warrant Agent by 3:00 P.M.,
New York City time, on the New York Business Day next succeeding the date on
which the exercise notice is received, or (ii) if the Warrant Agent receives
such Exercise Notice after 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on a New York Business
Day, then the New York Business Day succeeding such New York Business Day,
provided that such day will be the Exercise Date only if the Warrant being
exercised is received by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the second succeeding
New York Business Day following the New York Business Day on which the Exercise
Notice is received. In the event that the Warrant being exercised is received
after 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the New York Business Day next
succeeding the date on which the Exercise Notice is received, then the Exercise
Date for such Warrant will be the day on which such Warrant is received or, if
such day is not a New York Business Day, the next succeeding New York Business
Day. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of the exercise of a Warrant by
a Clearstream or Euroclear participant, Clearstream or Euroclear, as the case
may be, must by facsimile transmission to the Warrant Agent by 9:00 a.m., New
York City time, on the New York Business Day next succeeding the Exercise Date
confirm (an "Account Confirmation") that the Warrants being exercised will be
received by the Warrant Agent by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on such date,
provided, further, that if such Account Confirmation is received after 9:00
a.m., New York City time, on the New York Business Day next succeeding the
Exercise Date, the Company will be entitled to direct the Warrant Agent to
reject the related Exercise Notice or waive the requirement for timely delivery
of such Account Confirmation.

     Subject to the Warrant Agreement and this Global Warrant Certificate, the
"Valuation Date" for a Warrant will be the first New York Business Day following
the applicable Exercise Date, subject to postponement [upon the occurrence of an
Extraordinary Event or Exercise Limitation Event or] as a result of the exercise
of a number of Warrants exceeding the limits on exercise, all as described
below.

     All Warrants for which the Warrant Agent has not received a valid Exercise
Notice at or prior to 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on (i) the New York
Business Day immediately preceding the Expiration Date or (ii) any Delisting
Date, as the case may be, or for which the Warrant Agent has received a valid
Exercise Notice but with respect to which timely delivery of the relevant
Warrants



                                     A-1-14
<PAGE>


has not been made, together with any Warrants the Valuation Date for which has
as at such time been postponed as described below, will be automatically
exercised. The Exercise Date for such Warrants will be the Expiration Date or
any Delisting Date, as the case may be, or, if such date is not a New York
Business Day, the next succeeding New York Business Day. The Warrant Agent will
obtain the Spot Rate (determined as of the Valuation Date for such Warrants
[except in the case of a postponed exercise following the occurrence of an
Extraordinary Event or Exercise Limitation Events]) and will determine the Cash
Settlement Value, if any, of such Warrants.

     If the Exercise Notice is not rejected as provided in the Warrant
Agreement, then the Warrant Agent [or the Determination Agent, as the case may
be], will determine the Cash Settlement Value of the exercised Warrants in
accordance with the terms of the Warrant Agreement. Except in the case of
Warrants subject to automatic exercise [and except for Warrants that upon
exercise entitle the holder thereof to receive an Alternative Settlement Amount
in lieu of the Cash Settlement Value], if on any Valuation Date the Cash
Settlement Value for any Warrants then exercised would be zero, then the
attempted exercise of any such Warrants shall be void and of no effect and the
Warrants will be transferred by the Warrant Agent back to the Participant that
submitted them free on the records of the Depository (to the extent received, in
the case of Warrants held through Clearstream or Euroclear) and, in either case
such Warrantholder shall be permitted to exercise such Warrants prior to the
Expiration Date or any Delisting Date, as the case may be.

     Except in the case of Warrants subject to automatic exercise [and except
for Warrants that upon exercise entitle the holder thereof to receive an
Alternative Settlement amount in lieu of the Cash Settlement Value], if the
Company has made adequate funds available to the Warrant Agent in a timely
manner, which shall in no event be later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on
the second New York Business Day following a Valuation Date (the "Funding
Date"), the Warrant Agent will be responsible for making payment available to
each appropriate Participant in the form of a cashier's check or an official
bank check, or (in the case of payments of at least $100,000) by wire transfer
to a U.S. Dollar account maintained by such Participant in the United States (at
the Participant's election as specified in the Exercise Notice), after 3:00
p.m., New York City time, but prior to the close of business, on such Funding
Date. For either clause (i) or (ii) above, such payment shall be in the amount
of the aggregate Cash Settlement Value in respect of the Warrant Certificates or
Warrants that were delivered to the Warrant Agent (together with the related
Exercise Notice) as provided in the Warrant Agreement.



                                     A-1-15

<PAGE>

     With respect to automatically exercised Warrants [(other than Warrants
subject to postponed exercise following the occurrence of an Extraordinary Event
or an Exercise Limitation Event)], the Company shall make available to the
Warrant Agent, not later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the second New
York Business Day following the Valuation Date for automatically exercised
Warrants (the "Automatic Funding Date"), funds in an amount equal to, and for
the payment of, the aggregate Cash Settlement Value of such Warrants. Subject to
such funds having been made available as provided in the preceding sentence, the
Warrant Agent will be responsible for making funds available to the Depository,
against receipt of the Global Warrant Certificate, after 3:00 p.m., New York
City time, but prior to the close of business, on the Automatic Funding Date.
Such funds are to be in an amount equal to the aggregate Cash Settlement Value
of the Warrants subject to such automatic exercise.

     [Extraordinary Event and Exercise Limitation Event provisions, if
applicable.]

     All exercises of Warrants (other than on automatic exercise [or upon
cancellation]) are subject, at the Company's option, to the limitation that not
more than [limit on aggregate number of Warrants to be exercised on any day]
Warrants in total may be exercised on any Exercise Date and not more than
[individual limit] Warrants may be exercised by or on behalf of any beneficial
owner, either individually or in concert with any other beneficial owner, on any
Exercise Date. If any New York Business Day would otherwise, under the terms
hereof, be the Exercise Date in respect of more than [limit on aggregate number
of Warrants to be exercised on any day] Warrants, then at the Company's election
(by giving notice thereof to the Warrant Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., New
York City time, on the New York Business Day immediately following such Exercise
Date), [limit on aggregate number of Warrants to be exercised on any day] of
such Warrants shall be deemed exercised on such Exercise Date (selected by the
Warrant Agent on a pro rata basis, but if, as a result of such pro rata
selection, any Registered Holders would be deemed to have exercised less than
[minimum exercise amount] Warrants, then the Warrant Agent shall first select
additional amounts of such holders' Warrants so that no holder shall be deemed
to have exercised less than [minimum exercise amount] Warrants), and the
remainder of such Warrants (the "Remaining Warrants") shall be deemed exercised
on the following New York Business Day (subject to the provisions of the Warrant
Agreement); provided that in the event that the aggregate number of such
Remaining Warrants, together with any additional Warrants with respect to which
the Exercise Date would be such following New York Business Day, exceeds [limit
on aggregate number of Warrants to be exercised on any day] the provisions of
this paragraph shall apply to the exercise of such Remaining Warrants and such
additional Warrants on such following New York Business



                                     A-1-16
<PAGE>

Day and successively until the limitations set forth in this paragraph and in
the Warrant Agreement are no longer exceeded; provided further, that any such
Remaining Warrants shall be deemed exercised before any such additional
Warrants.

     If any beneficial owner of Warrants attempts to exercise more than
[individual limit] Warrants on any New York Business Day, then at the Company's
election (as notified to the Warrant Agent by giving notice thereof to the
Warrant Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the next New
York Business Day following such Day) [individual limit] of such Warrants shall
be deemed exercised on such New York Business Day and the remainder of such
warrants shall be deemed exercised on the following New York Business Day
(subject to the provisions of the Warrant Agreement); provided that in the event
that the aggregate number of such remaining Warrants, together with any
additional Warrants of such beneficial owner with respect to which the Exercise
Date would be such following New York Business Day, exceeds [individual limit],
at the Company's election (as notified in the manner described above), the
provisions of the paragraph shall apply to the exercise of such remaining
Warrants and such additional Warrants on such following New York Business Day
and successively until the limitations set forth in this paragraph and in the
Warrant Agreement are no longer exceeded; provided further, that any such
remaining Warrants shall be deemed exercised before any such additional Warrants
of such beneficial owner. The date on which any Warrant is deemed exercised
under the preceding two sentences shall for all purposes of this Agreement be
the "Exercise Date" in respect of such Warrants.

     Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer, the Company, the
Warrant Agent, and any agent of the Company or the Warrant Agent, may deem and
treat the registered owner hereof as the absolute owner of the Warrants
evidenced hereby (notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing
hereon) for any purpose whatsoever, and as the person entitled to exercise the
rights represented by the Warrants evidenced hereby, and neither the Company nor
the Warrant Agent, nor any agent of the Company or the Warrant Agent, shall be
affected by any notice to the contrary.

     The Warrant Agent will, in accordance with the Warrant Agreement, from time
to time register the transfer of this Global Warrant Certificate in its records
(which may be maintained electronically) subject to such reasonable regulations
as the Company or the Warrant Agent may prescribe, only to the Depository, to
another nominee of the Depository, to a successor Depository or to a nominee of
a successor Depository, upon surrender of such Global Warrant Certificate, duly
endorsed, or accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer in
form satisfactory to the Warrant Agent and the Company, duly executed by the



                                     A-1-17

registered holder thereof or by the duly appointed legal representative thereof,
or by its duly authorized attorney, such signature to be guaranteed by a bank or
trust company with a correspondent office in The City of New York or by a broker
or dealer which is a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers,
Inc. (the "NASD") or by a member of a national securities exchange. Upon any
such registration of transfer, a new Global Warrant Certificate shall be issued
to the transferee and the surrendered Global Warrant Certificate shall be
cancelled by the Warrant Agent.

     The Global Warrant Certificate may be transferred as provided above when
surrendered to the Warrant Agent's Office, or at the office of any successor
Warrant Agent for another Global Warrant Certificate of like tenor and
representing a like number of unexercised Warrants.

     Capitalized terms included herein but not defined herein have the
meanings assigned thereto in the Warrant Agreement.

     For purposes of this Certificate, the "Reference Currency" means the
[Reference Currency] and the "Base Currency" means the [Base Currency]. [[The
"Spot Rate"] for any date means the offered spot rate of [insert Base Currency]
per [insert Reference Currency] as quoted by [________________] (the "Spot Rate
Reference Bank") at 10:00 A.M., New York City time, on such date, or if such
bank is not quoting such rate at such time, the rate quoted by such other
leading bank in the foreign exchange markets as may be selected by the Company
in good faith and notified to the Warrant Agent.] [Alternative provision for
calculation of Spot Rate.] The offered spot rate of any applicable currency
shall be calculated to four (4) decimal places.

     References in this Agreement to "U.S. dollars", "U.S.$" or "$" are to the
lawful currency of the United States of America [other currency or currency
unit]. As used herein, "New York Business Day" means any day other than a
Saturday or a Sunday or a day on which commercial banks in New York City are
required or authorized by law or executive order to remain closed.

     The Warrant Agreement and the terms of the Warrants are subject to
amendment, as provided in the Warrant Agreement.

     This Global Warrant Certificate shall be governed by, and interpreted in
accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

Attention: ________________________

We hereby acknowledge that the Warrants being exercised and this Exercise Notice

New York City time, on the first New York Business Day next succeeding the New

                                WARRANT AGREEMENT


     THIS AGREEMENT, dated as of [               ], 20    , among J.P. MORGAN
CHASE & CO., a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of
Delaware (the "Company"), [                             ], a New York banking
corporation (the "Warrant Agent")[, and [                                ], a
corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware (the
"Determination Agent").]

     WHEREAS, the Company proposes to sell [put warrants] [call warrants] (the
"Warrants" or, individually, a "Warrant"), representing the right to receive
from the Company an amount in [name of payment currency] equal to the Cash
Settlement Value [or Alternative Settlement Amount (each as] defined below) to
be determined by reference to [decreases (in the case of put warrants)]
[increases (in the case of call warrants)] in the [yield or closing price of one
or more debt instruments (the "Reference Debt Instrument[s]") in an interest
rate, interest swap rate or other rate (the "Reference Rate[s]") or any
combination of foregoing] on the terms and conditions set forth in this
Agreement; and

     WHEREAS the Company desires the Warrant Agent to act on behalf of the
Company, and the Warrant Agent is willing so to act, in connection with the
issuance, transfer and exercise of the Warrants, and the Company desires to set
forth herein, among other things, the provisions of the Warrants and the terms
and conditions on which they may be issued, transferred, exercised and
cancelled;

     NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows:



                                    ARTICLE 1
     ISSUANCE OF WARRANTS AND FORM, EXECUTION, DELIVERY AND REGISTRATION OF
              WARRANT CERTIFICATES AND GLOBAL WARRANT CERTIFICATES

     SECTION 1.01. Issuance of Warrants. (a) The Warrants are unsecured
contractual obligations of the Company and will rank on a parity with the
Company's other unsecured contractual obligations and with the Company's
unsecured and unsubordinated debt.

     (b) Each Warrant shall represent the right, upon exercise (including
automatic exercise) subject to the provisions contained herein, to receive the
Cash




<PAGE>



Settlement Value [or the Alternative Settlement Amount, as the case may be
(each] as defined herein), of such Warrant. In no event shall a registered or
beneficial holder of a Warrant (each a "Warrantholder") be entitled to receive
any interest on any Cash Settlement Value [or Alternative Settlement Amount].

     SECTION 1.02. Form, Execution and Delivery of Warrant Certificates. (a) The
Warrants, whenever issued, shall be represented by certificates in registered
form substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto (the "Warrant
Certificates"), with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and
other variations as are required or permitted by this Agreement, and may
represent any whole number of Warrants. The Warrant Certificates may have
imprinted or otherwise reproduced thereon such letters, numbers or other marks
of identification or designation and such legends or endorsements as the
officers of the Company executing the same may approve (execution thereof to be
conclusive evidence of such approval) and which are not inconsistent with the
provisions of this Agreement, 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 Warrants may be listed, or of any
securities depository, or to conform to usage. Warrant Certificates shall be
signed on behalf of the Company by any one of the chairman of its Board of
Directors, its president, any vice chairman of its Board of Directors or the
chief financial officer (or any other officer certified by any of the foregoing
officers in an Officers' Certificate to be an executive officer of the Issuer)
in each case, under its Corporate Seal which may, but need not be attested by
its secretary or one or more of its assistant secretaries [except that the
Global Warrant Certificate may be executed by any such officer without any
necessity that such signature be under seal as aforesaid]. The signature of any
of such officers may be either manual or facsimile. Typographical and other
minor errors or defects in any such signature shall not affect the validity or
enforceability of any Warrant Certificate that has been duly countersigned and
delivered by the Warrant Agent.

     (b) In case any officer of the Company who shall have signed a Warrant
Certificate, either manually or by facsimile signature, shall cease to be such
officer before such Warrant Certificate shall have been countersigned and
delivered by the Warrant Agent to the Company or delivered by the Company, such
Warrant Certificate nevertheless may be countersigned and delivered as though
the person who signed such Warrant Certificate had not ceased to be such officer
of the Company; and the Warrant Certificate may be signed on behalf of the
Company by any person who, at the actual date of the execution of such Warrant
Certificate, shall be a proper officer of the Company to sign such Warrant
Certificate, although at the date of the execution of this Warrant Agreement any
such person was not such officer.




                                        2

<PAGE>



     SECTION 1.03. Warrant Certificates. Each Warrant Certificate, when executed
on behalf of the Company in accordance with Section 1.02, shall be delivered to
the Warrant Agent, which shall manually countersign and deliver the same to or
upon the order of the Company. Each Warrant Certificate shall be dated the date
of its countersignature. A Warrant Certificate shall not be valid for any
purpose, and no Warrant evidenced thereby shall be exercisable, unless and until
such Warrant Certificate has been countersigned by the manual signature of an
authorized officer of the Warrant Agent. Such countersignature by an authorized
officer of the Warrant Agent upon any Warrant Certificate signed by the Company
in accordance with Section 1.02 shall be conclusive evidence that the Warrant
Certificate so countersigned has been duly issued hereunder.

     SECTION 1.04. Registration of Transfers and Exchanges. (a) Except as
otherwise provided herein or in the Warrant Certificate, the Warrant Agent shall
from time to time register the transfer of any outstanding Warrant Certificates
upon the records to be maintained by it for that purpose (the "Warrant
Register") at the Warrant Agent's Office (as defined herein), subject to such
reasonable regulations as the Company or the Warrant Agent may prescribe, upon
surrender thereof, duly endorsed, or accompanied by a written instrument or
instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Warrant Agent and the
Company, duly executed by the registered holder(s) thereof or by the duly
appointed legal representative thereof or by a duly authorized attorney, such
signature to be guaranteed by a bank or trust company with a correspondent
office in The City of New York or by a broker or dealer which is a member of the
National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (the "NASD") or by a member of
a national securities exchange. Upon any such registration of transfer, a new
Warrant Certificate shall be issued to the transferee(s) and the surrendered
Warrant Certificate shall be cancelled by the Warrant Agent.

     (b) At the option of a Warrantholder, Warrant Certificates may be exchanged
for other Warrant Certificates, representing a like number of Warrants, upon
surrender to the Warrant Agent of the Warrant Certificates to be exchanged at
its offices maintained for such purpose (the location of which shall be provided
to the Company), which shall be in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New
York (the "Warrant Agent's Office"), and which is, on the date of this
Agreement, [                    ], Attention: [           ] or at the office of
any successor Warrant Agent (as provided in Section 5.03). Upon surrender of any
Warrant Certificate for exchange, the Warrant Agent shall cancel such Warrant
Certificate, and the Company shall execute, and the Warrant Agent shall
countersign and deliver, in accordance with Sections 1.02 and 1.03, one or more
new Warrant Certificates of like tenor and representing a like number of
unexercised Warrants.




                                        3

<PAGE>



     (c) Warrant Certificates issued upon transfer or exchange pursuant to
Section 1.04(a) or 1.04(b) shall be valid obligations of the Company, evidencing
the same obligations of the Company as the Warrant Certificates surrendered for
transfer or exchange, and entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement as
were such Warrant Certificates prior to such surrender.

     (d) Except as provided in Section 1.05, no service charge shall be made for
any registration of transfer or exchange of Warrant Certificates, 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 Warrant Certificates, other than exchanges pursuant to
this Section 1.04 not involving any transfer.

     (e) In the event that upon any exercise of Warrants evidenced by a Warrant
Certificate the number of Warrants exercised shall be less than the total number
of Warrants evidenced by such Warrant Certificate, there shall be issued to the
holder thereof or his assignee a new Warrant Certificate evidencing the number
of Warrants not exercised.

     SECTION 1.05. Mutilated or Missing Warrant Certificates. (a) If any Warrant
Certificate is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company may in its
discretion execute, and the Warrant Agent may countersign and deliver, in
exchange and substitution for the mutilated Warrant Certificate, or in
replacement for the Warrant Certificate lost, stolen or destroyed, a new Warrant
Certificate of like tenor and representing an equivalent number of Warrants,
bearing an identification number not contemporaneously outstanding, but only (in
case of loss, theft or destruction) upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the
Company and the Warrant Agent of such loss, theft or destruction of such Warrant
Certificate and security or indemnity, if requested, also satisfactory to them.
Applicants for such substitute Warrant Certificates shall also comply with such
other reasonable regulations and pay such other reasonable charges as the
Company or the Warrant Agent may prescribe.

     (b) In case any such mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed Warrant
Certificate has been or is about to be exercised, or deemed to be exercised, the
Company in its absolute discretion may, instead of issuing a new Warrant
Certificate, direct the Warrant Agent to treat the same as if it had received
the Warrant Certificate together with an irrevocable Exercise Notice (as defined
herein) in proper form in respect thereof, as provided herein, or as being
subject to automatic exercise, as the case may be.

     (c) Each new Warrant Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 1.05 in
lieu of any lost, stolen or destroyed Warrant Certificate shall be an original,




                                        4

<PAGE>



additional contractual obligation of the Company, and shall be entitled to the
same benefits under this Agreement as the Warrant Certificate that was lost,
stolen or destroyed.

     (d) Upon the issuance of any new Warrant Certificate in accordance with
this Section 1.05, 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 Warrant
Agent) connected therewith.

     (e) The provisions of this Section 1.05 are exclusive and shall preclude
(to the extent lawful) any other rights and remedies with respect to the
replacement or payment of mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed Warrant
Certificates.

     SECTION 1.06. Registered Holders. Prior to due presentment for registration
of transfer, the Company, the Warrant Agent, and any agent of the Company or the
Warrant Agent, may deem and treat the person in whose name a Warrant Certificate
shall be registered in the Warrant Register (a "Registered Holder") as the
absolute owner of the Warrants evidenced thereby (notwithstanding any notation
of ownership or other writing on the Warrant Certificate) for any purpose
whatsoever, and as the person entitled to exercise the rights represented by the
Warrants evidenced thereby, and neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent, nor
any agent of the Company or the Warrant Agent, shall be affected by any notice
to the contrary. This Section 1.06 shall be without prejudice to the rights of
Warrantholders as described elsewhere herein.

     SECTION 1.07. Global Warrant Certificate. (a) Any global certificate
evidencing the Warrants (the "Global Warrant Certificate") issued in accordance
with this Section 1.07 shall be substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit
A-1 hereto, with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other
variations as are required or permitted by this Agreement, and may represent any
number of whole Warrants. The Global Warrant Certificate may have imprinted or
otherwise reproduced thereon such letters, numbers or other marks of
identification or designation and such legends or endorsements as the officers
of the Company executing the same may approve (execution thereof to be
conclusive evidence of such approval) and which are not inconsistent with the
provisions of this Agreement, 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 Warrants may be listed or of The
Depository Trust Company, New York, New York (the "Depository", which term, as
used herein, includes any successor securities depository selected by the
Company), or to conform to usage. Each Global Warrant Certificate shall be
signed on behalf of




                                        5

<PAGE>



the Company upon the same conditions, in substantially the same manner and with
the same effect as the Warrant Certificates.

     (b) The Warrant Agent is authorized upon receipt of a Global Warrant
Certificate from the Company, duly executed on behalf of the Company, to
countersign such Global Warrant Certificate. The Global Warrant Certificate
shall be manually countersigned and dated the date of its countersignature by
the Warrant Agent and shall not be valid for any purpose unless so
countersigned. The Warrant Agent shall deliver the Global Warrant Certificate to
or upon the order of the Company against receipt of an appropriate amount of
Certificated Warrants (as defined herein) (such Certificated Warrants shall be
disposed of in accordance with instructions provided by the Company). One or
more Global Warrant Certificates may be executed by the Company and delivered to
the Warrant Agent on or after the date of execution of this Agreement; provided
that only one Global Warrant Certificate shall be outstanding at any one time.

     The Company reserves the right to issue, from time to time after the date
of execution of this Agreement, additional Warrants, and in connection therewith
the Global Warrant Certificate may be exchanged for a new Global Warrant
Certificate to reflect the issuance by the Company of such additional Warrants.
To effect such an exchange the Company shall deliver to the Warrant Agent a new
Global Warrant Certificate duly executed on behalf of the Company as provided in
Section 1.02. The Warrant Agent shall countersign the new Global Warrant
Certificate as provided in this Section and shall deliver the new Global Warrant
Certificate to the Depository in exchange for, and upon receipt of, the Global
Warrant Certificate then held by the Depository. The Warrant Agent shall cancel
the Global Warrant Certificate delivered to it by the Depository, dispose of
such Global Warrant Certificate and provide a certificate of disposition to the
Company.

     (c) The Global Warrant Certificate will initially be registered in the name
of a nominee of the Depository. The Warrant holdings of each entity (a
"Participant") entitled to execute, clear and settle transactions through the
Depository will be recorded on the books of the Depository. The holdings of
customers of the Participants and the identity of the Warrantholders will be
reflected on the books and records of such Participants and will not be known to
the Warrant Agent, the Company or the Depository. The Global Warrant Certificate
will be held by the Depository or its agent. Neither the Company nor the Warrant
Agent will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records
relating to beneficial ownership interests in the Global Warrant Certificate or
for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such
beneficial ownership interests.




                                        6

<PAGE>



     The Company may from time to time select a new entity to act as Depository
with respect to the Warrants and, if such selection is made, the Company shall
promptly give the Warrant Agent notice to such effect identifying the new
Depository, and the Global Warrant Certificate shall be delivered to the Warrant
Agent and shall be transferred to the new Depository as provided below as
promptly as possible. Appropriate changes may be made in the forms of the Global
Warrant Certificate, the Exercise Notice and the related notices to be delivered
in connection with an exercise to reflect the selection of the new Depository.

     (d) Except as otherwise provided herein or in the Global Warrant
Certificate, the Warrant Agent shall from time to time register the transfer of
the Global Warrant Certificate in its records (which may be maintained elec
tronically), subject to such reasonable regulations as the Company or the
Warrant Agent may prescribe, only to the Depository, to another nominee of the
Depository, to a successor Depository or to a nominee of a successor Depository,
upon surrender of such Global Warrant Certificate, duly endorsed, or accompanied
by a written instrument or instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the
Warrant Agent and the Company, duly executed by the registered holder thereof
or by the duly appointed legal representative thereof, or by its duly authorized
attorney, such signature to be guaranteed by a bank or trust company with a
correspondent office in The City of New York or by a broker or dealer which is a
member of the NASD or by a member of a national securities exchange. Upon any
such registration of transfer, a new Global Warrant Certificate shall be issued
to the transferee and the surrendered Global Warrant Certificate shall be
cancelled by the Warrant Agent.

     The Global Warrant Certificate may be transferred as provided in this
Section, when surrendered to the Warrant Agent's Office, or at the office of any
successor Warrant Agent (as provided in Section 5.03), for another Global
Warrant Certificate of like tenor and representing a like number of unexercised
Warrants.



                                    ARTICLE 2
                        DURATION AND EXERCISE OF WARRANTS

     SECTION 2.01. Duration of Warrants; Minimum Exercise Amounts; Exercise
Notice. (a) Subject to the limitations set forth herein and in Section 2.03,
each Warrant may be irrevocably exercised in whole but not in part, immediately
upon issuance. Except in the case of automatic exercise, each Warrant shall be
irrevocably exercised either (A) in the case of Warrants represented by Warrant




                                        7

<PAGE>



Certificates ("Certificated Warrants"), on any New York Business Day during the
period from the date of issuance until 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the
earlier of (ii) the New York Business Day immediately preceding the date
(established in or pursuant to a resolution or resolutions of the Board of
Directors of the Company or any committee of such Board duly authorized to act
on its behalf (a "Board Resolution" or "Board Resolutions")) upon which the
right to exercise the Warrants expires (the "Expiration Date"), and (iii) any
Delisting Date (as defined herein) by delivering or causing to be delivered to
the Warrant Agent (at its address as set forth in the Exercise Notice (as
defined below) or at such other address as the Warrant Agent may specify from
time to time) the Warrant Certificate representing such Warrant, with the
Exercise Notice duly completed and executed by the Registered Holder of such
Warrant or (A) in the case of Warrants represented by a Global Warrant
Certificate ("Book-Entry Warrants"), on any New York Business Day until 3:00
P.M., New York City time, on the earlier of (i) the New York Business Day
immediately preceding the Expiration Date and (ii) any Delisting Date, by
causing (x) such Warrant to be transferred free to the Warrant Agent on the
records of the Depository in accordance with the Depository's Deposit/
Withdrawal at Custodian procedures and (y) a duly completed and executed
Exercise Notice to be received by the Warrant Agent from a Participant acting,
directly or indirectly, on behalf of the Warrantholder; provided, however, that
Exercise Notices are subject to rejection by the Warrant Agent as provided
herein.

     In the case of Book-Entry Warrants held through the facilities of
Clearstream Banking S.A. ("Clearstream") or the Euroclear System ("Euroclear"),
a Warrantholder may exercise each Warrant on any New York Business Day until
3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the earlier of (i) the New York Business Day
immediately preceding the Expiration Date and (ii) any Delisting Date, by
causing (x) such Warrant to be transferred to the Warrant Agent in accordance
with clause (B) of the preceding paragraph, by giving appropriate instructions
to Clearstream or the participant holding his Warrants in Euroclear, as the case
may be, and (y) a duly completed and executed Exercise Notice to be delivered on
behalf of the Warrantholder by Clearstream, in the case of Warrants held through
Clearstream, or such participant, in the case of Warrants held through
Euroclear, to the Warrant Agent.

     (b) No fewer than the minimum number of Warrants as set forth in each
Warrant Certificate may be exercised by or on behalf of any one Warrantholder at
any one time, except that no such minimum exercise amount shall apply in the
case of automatic exercise on the Expiration Date or a Delisting Date[, or in
the case of cancellation of the Warrants as a result of an Extraordinary Event
(as defined herein)]. An Exercise Notice shall be unconditional. Except as
provided in Section 2.02(c), the Warrant Agent shall be entitled, with no duty
of inquiry, to




                                        8

<PAGE>



rely conclusively on any Exercise Notice received by it and on any
representation of the exercising Warrantholder contained therein.

     (c) "Exercise Notice" means an irrevocable notice of exercise to the
Warrant Agent at its address, which notice (A) for Certificated Warrants, shall
be on the reverse of the Warrant Certificate or such other form as the Company
and the Warrant Agent may approve, and (B) for Book-Entry Warrants, shall be
substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A-2 hereto or such other form as
the Company and the Warrant Agent may approve and may be given by facsimile
transmission. For purposes of this Agreement, "New York Business Day" means any
day other than a Saturday, Sunday or a day on which commercial banks in New York
City are required or authorized by law or executive order to remain closed.

     SECTION 2.02. Exercise, Valuation and Delivery of Warrants. (a) Except for
Warrants subject to automatic exercise or Warrants held through the facilities
of Clearstream or Euroclear, the "Exercise Date" for a Warrant means (i) the New
York Business Day on which the Warrant Agent receives the Warrant and Exercise
Notice in proper form with respect to such Warrant, if received at or prior to
3:00 P.M., New York City time, on such day, or (ii) if the Warrant Agent
receives such Warrant or Exercise Notice after 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on
a New York Business Day, then the next New York Business Day succeeding the New
York Business Day on which such Warrant or Exercise Notice is received. In the
case of Warrants held through the facilities of Clearstream or Euroclear, except
for Warrants subject to automatic exercise, the "Exercise Date" for a Warrant
means (i) the New York Business Day on which the Warrant Agent receives (by
facsimile transmission) the Exercise Notice in proper form with respect to such
Warrant if such Exercise Notice is received at or prior to 3:00 P.M., New York
City time, on such day, provided, that the Warrant being exercised is received
by the Warrant Agent by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the New York Business
Day next succeeding the date on which the Exercise Notice is received, or (ii)
if the Warrant Agent receives such Exercise Notice after 3:00 P.M., New York
City time, on a New York Business Day, then the New York Business Day succeeding
such New York Business Day, provided that such day will be the Exercise Date
only if the Warrant being exercised is received by 3:00 P.M., New York City
time, on the second succeeding New York Business Day following the New York
Business Day on which the Exercise Notice is received. In the event that the
Warrant being exercised is received after 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the
New York Business Day next succeeding the date on which the Exercise Notice is
received, then the Exercise Date for such Warrant will be the day on which such
Warrant is received or, if such day is not a New York Business Day, the next
succeeding New York Business Day. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of
the exercise of a Book-Entry




                                        9

<PAGE>



Warrant by Clearstream or a Euroclear participant, Clearstream or Euroclear, as
the case may be, must by facsimile transmission to the Warrant Agent by 9:00
a.m., New York City time, on the New York Business Day next succeeding the
Exercise Date confirm (an "Account Confirmation") that the Warrants being
exercised will be received by the Warrant Agent by 3:00 p.m., New York City
time, on such date, provided, further, that if such Account Confirmation is
received after 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the New York Business Day next
succeeding the Exercise Date, the Company will be entitled to direct the Warrant
Agent to reject the related Exercise Notice or waive the requirement for timely
delivery of such Account Confirmation.

     (b) The "Valuation Date" for a Warrant shall be the applicable Exercise
Date (subject to postponement [upon the occurrence of an Extraordinary Event or
Exercise Limitation Event (as herein defined) or] as a result of the exercise of
a number of Warrants exceeding the limits on exercise set forth herein).

     All Warrants for which the Warrant Agent has not received a valid Exercise
Notice at or prior to 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on (i) the New York
Business Day immediately preceding the Expiration Date or (ii) the last New York
Business Day prior to the effective date on which the Warrants are delisted
from, or permanently suspended from trading (within the meaning of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules and regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission thereunder) on, the stock exchange on which the Warrants
are listed and not accepted prior thereto or at the same time for listing on
another United States national securities exchange (such New York Business Day
being a "Delisting Date") or for which the Warrant Agent has received a valid
Exercise Notice but with respect to which timely delivery of the relevant
Warrants has not been made by such date [or the Valuation Date for which has as
of such date been postponed as provided in Section 2.03], shall be deemed to be
automatically exercised as of such date; provided, however, that if the Company
first receives notice of the delisting or suspension of the Warrants on the same
day on which such Warrants are delisted or suspended, such day will be deemed a
Delisting Date for purposes of this Agreement.

     (c) The Warrant Agent shall, in the case of Warrants other than Warrants
held through the facilities of Clearstream or Euroclear, following receipt of
proper and timely delivery of a Warrant in accordance with Section 2.02(a),
accompanied by a completed Exercise Notice, and, in the case of Warrants held
through Clearstream or Euroclear, following receipt of proper delivery of a
completed Exercise Notice in accordance with Section 2.02(a):

          (i) promptly (1) for Certificated Warrants, determine whether such
     Exercise Notice has been duly completed and is in proper form duly




                                       10

<PAGE>



     executed by the Registered Holder thereof or by the duly appointed legal
     representative thereof or by a duly authorized attorney, (2) for Book-Entry
     Warrants not held through Clearstream or Euroclear, determine whether such
     Exercise Notice has been duly completed and is in proper form and (3) for
     Book-Entry Warrants held through Clearstream or Euroclear, determine
     whether such Exercise Notice has been duly completed and is in proper form
     duly executed by Clearstream or the Euroclear participant delivering such
     Warrant, as applicable; and if the Warrant Agent determines that the
     Exercise Notice has not been duly completed or is not in proper form or, in
     the case of Certificated Warrants, has not been so executed, the Warrant
     Agent promptly (A) shall reject such Exercise Notice and shall send to the
     entity that executed such Exercise Notice a notice of rejection
     substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit B or Exhibit B-1 hereto, as
     the case may be, and, in the case of Certificated Warrants, shall return to
     the Registered Holder that submitted such Exercise Notice, by first class
     mail, the Warrant Certificates evidencing such Warrants, or, in the case of
     Book-Entry Warrants, shall re-deliver such Warrants (to the extent received
     in the case of Warrants held through Clearstream or Euroclear) free through
     the facilities of DTC to the account from which they were transferred to
     the Warrant Agent and (B) shall not take the actions required by clauses
     (ii)-(vii) below with respect to such Exercise Notice or the related
     Warrants; provided, however, that the Warrant Agent shall deliver a copy of
     the Exercise Notice relating to such Warrants to the Company as required by
     Section 2.02(c)(vii) below and the Company may waive any defect in the form
     of such Exercise Notice;

          (ii) notify the Company [and the Determination Agent] (and such other
     parties (not to exceed two) as the Company shall designate in writing) by
     5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the New York Business Day that such
     Exercise Notice has been received (or shall be deemed to have been
     received) of the total number of Warrants covered by such Exercise Notice;

          (iii) with respect to Warrants held through Clearstream or Euroclear,
     determine whether the Warrant Agent has received by 9:00 a.m., New York
     City time, on the New York Business Day next succeeding the Exercise Date
     relating to such Warrants, Account Confirmations with respect to such
     Warrants, and if the Warrant Agent has not received any such Account
     Confirmation by such time, notify the Company (and such other parties (not
     to exceed two) as the Company shall designate in writing) by 10:00 a.m.,
     New York City time, on the New York Business Day next succeeding the
     Exercise Date, of the number of such Warrants in respect of which the
     Warrant Agent has not received




                                       11

<PAGE>



     such Account Confirmations and (except to the extent the Company has
     notified the Warrant Agent that it has waived the timing requirement of
     timely delivery of such Account Confirmations) send to Clearstream or the
     Euroclear participant, as the case may be, that delivered such Exercise
     Notice for which no related Account Confirmation was received (at the
     address specified in such notice) a notice of rejection substantially in
     the form set forth in Exhibit B hereto;

          (iv) by 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the New York Business Day
     next succeeding the Valuation Date (A) determine the number of Warrants
     determined pursuant to clause (ii) above) (all of such Warrants, the
     "Exercised Warrants") and (B) notify the Company [and the Determination
     Agent] of the total number of Exercised Warrants so determined (if such
     number is zero, the Warrant Agent shall not take the actions required by
     clauses (v) and (vi) of this Section 2.02(c) with respect to such Exercise
     Notice or the related Warrants);

          (v) determine the applicable Spot Rate and calculate the Cash
     Settlement Value of the Exercised Warrants (excluding any Warrants held
     through Clearstream or Euroclear as to which timely delivery of the related
     Warrant has not been made) as of their Valuation Date in the manner set
     forth in Section 2.02(b) by no later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time,
     on the New York Business Day next succeeding the Valuation Date [(unless
     the Cash Settlement Value shall be calculated by the Determination Agent)];

          (vi) notify the Company (and such other parties (not to exceed two) as
     the Company shall designate in writing) by 12:00 noon, New York City time,
     on the New York Business Day next succeeding the Valuation Date of the Cash
     Settlement Value payable in respect of the Exercised Warrants, and send
     notices of confirmation substantially in the form included in Exhibit B or
     Exhibit B-1 hereto, as the case may be, to the Registered Holder,
     Participant, Clearstream or Euroclear participant, as the case may be; and

          (vii) promptly deliver a copy of each Exercise Notice to the Company
     and advise the Company of such other matters relating to the Exercised
     Warrants as the Company shall reasonably request. Any notice to be given to
     the Company by the Warrant Agent pursuant to this Section 2.02 or Section
     2.03 shall be by telephone (promptly confirmed in writing) or facsimile
     transmission.




                                       12

     Except in the case of Warrants subject to automatic exercise [and for
Warrants that upon exercise entitle the holder thereof to receive an Alternative
Settlement Amount in lieu of the Cash Settlement Value], if on any Valuation
Date the Cash Settlement Value for any Warrants then exercised would be zero,
then the attempted exercise of any such Warrants shall be void and of no effect
and (i) for Certificated Warrants, the Warrant Certificate evidencing such
Warrants shall be promptly returned by the Warrant Agent to the Registered
Holder by first class mail at the Company's expense or (ii) for Book-Entry
Warrants, the Warrants will be transferred by the Warrant Agent back to the
Participant that submitted them free on the records of DTC (to the extent
received, in the case of Warrants held through Clearstream or Euroclear) and, in
either case such Warrantholder shall be permitted to re-exercise such Warrants
prior to the Expiration Date or any Delisting Date, as the case may be.

     (d) Except in the case of Warrants subject to automatic exercise [and for
Warrants that upon exercise entitle the holder thereof to receive an Alternative
Settlement Amount in lieu of the Cash Settlement Value], if the Company has made
adequate funds available to the Warrant Agent in a timely manner, which shall in
no event be later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the fourth New York
Business Day following a Valuation Date (the "Funding Date"), the Warrant Agent
will be responsible for making its payment available (i) for Certificated
Warrants, to each Registered Holder of an exercised Warrant in the form of a
cashier's check or an official bank check, or (in the case of payments of at
least $100,000) by wire transfer to a U.S. Dollar account maintained by such
Registered Holder in the United States (at such Registered Holder's election as
specified in the applicable Exercise Notice), after 3:00 p.m., New York City
time, but prior to the close of business on the first New York Business Day
immediately succeeding such Funding Date or (ii) for Book-Entry Warrants, to
each appropriate Participant in the form of a cashier's check or an official
bank check, or (in the case of payments of at least $100,000) by wire transfer
to a U.S. Dollar account maintained by such Participant in the United States (at
the Participant's election as specified in the Exercise Notice), after 3:00
p.m., New York City time, but prior to the close of business, on the first New
York Business Day immediately succeeding such Funding Date. For either clause
(i) or (ii) above, such payment shall be in the amount of the aggregate Cash
Settlement Value in respect of the Warrant Certificates or Warrants that were
delivered to the Warrant Agent (together with the related Exercise Notice) as
provided in Sections 2.01 and 2.02(a), 2.02(b) and 2.02(c).

     (e) The "Cash Settlement Value" of an exercised Warrant shall be an amount
in [payment currency] equal to [formula or method of calculation for cash
settlement value] provided, however, that if such amount is less than zero, then
the Cash Settlement Value shall be zero.




                                       13

     For purposes of this Agreement, ["Reference Rate" means the [Reference
Rate]] and ["Reference Debt Instrument" means the [Reference Debt Instrument]].
[[The "Spot Amount"] for any date means [insert definition from Prospectus
Supplement]. References in this Agreement to "U.S. dollars", "U.S.$" or "$" are
to the lawful currency of the United States of America [other currency or
currency unit]. [Provision for other relevant definitions.]

     (f) In the case of exercise of Book-Entry Warrants, the Warrant Agent shall
cause its records, which may be kept electronically, to be marked to reflect the
reduction in the number of Warrants represented by the Global Warrant
Certificate by the number of Warrants that were delivered to the Warrant Account
and for which payment has been made as provided in Section 2.02(d) promptly
after such delivery and payment. Absent manifest error, the Warrant Agent's
records shall be conclusive evidence of such matters.

     [(g) The Company hereby appoints [                               ] and
[                         ] accepts such appointment, to be the Company's
Determination Agent to make such calculations as may be required upon the
occurrence of any of the circumstances described in Section 2.03, including,
without limitation, calculation of the Cash Settlement Value or the Alternative
Settlement Amount, as applicable, of a Warrant. The Determination Agent shall
act as an independent expert and not as an agent of the Company, and, unless
otherwise provided by this Agreement, its calculations and determinations under
this Agreement shall, absent manifest error, be final and binding on the
Company, the Warrant Agent, the Warrantholders and any Participant. Any such
calculations will be made available to a Warrantholder for inspection at the
Warrant Agent's Office.

     The Company agrees, for the benefit of the Warrantholders that there shall
at all times be a Determination Agent hereunder until all the Warrants are no
longer outstanding or until monies for the payment of all outstanding Warrants,
if any, shall have been paid to the Warrant Agent and shall have been returned
to the Company as provided in Section 2.06, whichever occurs earlier.
Resignation, removal and appointment of the Determination Agent shall be in
accordance with the procedures set forth for the resignation, removal and
appointment of the Warrant Agent, as provided in Section 5.03, except that a
successor Determination Agent need not be a banking institution with offices in
the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, and may only be appointed if
such successor has been nominated by the Company and approved by the predecessor
Determination Agent.




                                       14

     The Company agrees promptly to pay the Determination Agent the compensation
to be agreed upon with the Company for all services rendered by the
Determination Agent hereunder. The Company also agrees to indemnify the
Determination Agent for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability,
cost or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) incurred by
the Determination Agent by reason of its being made a party to a suit or claim
arising out of this Agreement; provided, however, that such indemnity shall in
no event apply to the extent that any such loss, liability, cost or expense is a
result of the negligence, bad faith or breach of this Agreement on its part in
connection with the services rendered by it hereunder. The indemnity obligation
of the Company shall continue notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement
or the resignation or removal of the Determination Agent.]

     [(h) The Determination Agent will have no responsibility for good faith
errors or omissions in calculating or disseminating information regarding the
adjustments or calculations by the Determination Agent (as provided above) in
order to arrive at a calculation of the Cash Settlement Value or the Alternative
Settlement Amount, as applicable].

     SECTION 2.03. Automatic Exercise of Warrants; [Exercise Upon an
Extraordinary Event or Exercise Limitation Event]. (a) All Warrants for which
the Warrant Agent has not received an Exercise Notice in proper form by 3:00
p.m., New York City time, on (i) the New York Business Day immediately preceding
the Expiration Date or (ii) any Delisting Date, as the case may be, or for which
the Warrant Agent has received a valid Exercise Notice in proper form but with
respect to which timely delivery of the relevant Warrants has not been made
prior to such time, and which have not been cancelled prior to such time, will
be deemed automatically exercised without any requirement of an Exercise Notice
to the Warrant Agent. The Exercise Date for such Warrants shall be the
Expiration Date or Delisting Date, as the case may be, or, if such date is not a
New York Business Day, the next succeeding New York Business Day and the
Valuation Date shall be the Exercise Date.

     The Warrant Agent shall by 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration
Date or any Delisting Date, as the case may be, notify the Company (and such
other parties (not to exceed two) as the Company shall designate in writing) of
the number of Warrants to be automatically exercised on such day. On the
Valuation Date for such Warrants, the Warrant Agent shall (i) determine the Cash
Settlement Value (in the manner provided in Section 2.02(e)) of the Warrants to
be automatically exercised; (ii) by 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the next
New York Business Day succeeding such Valuation Date, notify the Company (and
such other parties (not to exceed two) as the Company shall designate in
writing) of the Cash Settlement Value payable in respect of such




                                       15

<PAGE>



exercised Warrants; and (iii) advise the Company of such other matters relating
to the exercised Warrants as the Company shall reasonably request.

     In the case of Certificated Warrants subject to automatic exercise [(other
than Certificated Warrants subject to postponed exercise following the
occurrence of an Extraordinary Event or an Exercise Limitation Event as
described in Section 2.03(b))], the Company shall make available to the Warrant
Agent, not later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the fourth New York
Business Day following the Valuation Date for automatically exercised Warrants
(the "Automatic Funding Date"), funds in an amount equal to, and for the payment
of, the aggregate Cash Settlement Value of such Warrants. Subject to such funds
having been made available as provided in the preceding sentence, the Warrant
Agent will be responsible for making its payment available to the appropriate
Registered Holder in the form of a cashier's check or an official bank check, or
(in the case of payments of at least $100,000) by wire transfer to a U.S. Dollar
account maintained by such Registered Holder in the United States (at such
Registered Holder's election upon written notice to the Company and the Warrant
Agent), after 3:00 p.m., New York City time, but prior to the close of business,
on the Automatic Funding Date, against receipt by the Warrant Agent at the
Warrant Agent's Office from such Registered Holder of its Warrant Certificates.
Such payment shall be in the amount of the aggregate Cash Settlement Value in
respect of the Warrants, evidenced by such Warrant Certificates, that were
exercised automatically on the Expiration Date or on any Delisting Date, as the
case may be. Warrant Certificates delivered to the Warrant Agent shall
thereafter be promptly cancelled by the Warrant Agent.

     In the case of Book-Entry Warrants subject to automatic exercise [(other
than Warrants subject to postponed exercise following the occurrence of an
Extraordinary Event or an Exercise Limitation Event as described in Section
2.03(b))], the Company shall make available to the Warrant Agent, not later than
3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Automatic Funding Date, funds in an amount
equal to, and for the payment of, the aggregate Cash Settlement Value of such
Warrants. Subject to such funds having been made available as provided in the
preceding sentence, the Warrant Agent will be responsible for making funds
available to DTC, against receipt of the Global Warrant Certificate, after 3:00
p.m., New York City time, but prior to the close of business, on the Automatic
Funding Date. Such funds are to be in an amount equal to the aggregate Cash
Settlement Value of the Warrants subject to such automatic exercise.

     The Company will advise the Warrant Agent as soon as practicable of the
date of any expected delisting or permanent suspension of trading of the
Warrants and will immediately inform the Warrant Agent after the Company has
received notice that such delisting or suspension has occurred, but in no event
will notice




                                       16

<PAGE>



of such delisting or suspension be given to the Warrant Agent later than 9:30
a.m., New York City time, on the New York Business Day following the date that
such delisting or suspension occurs. The Company will use its best efforts to
notify the Warrantholders, or cause the Warrantholders to be notified, as
promptly as practicable of any expected delisting or suspension of trading of
the Warrants.

     (b) Extraordinary Event and Exercise Limitation Event provisions, if
applicable.]

     SECTION 2.04. Limitation of Number of Exercisable Warrants. All exercises
of Warrants (other than on automatic exercise [or upon cancellation]) are
subject, at the Company's option, to the limitation that not more than [limit on
aggregate number of Warrants to be exercised on any day] Warrants in total may
be exercised on any Exercise Date and not more than [individual limit] Warrants
may be exercised by or on behalf of any beneficial owner, either individually or
in concert with any other beneficial owner, on any Exercise Date. If any New
York Business Day would otherwise, under the terms hereof, be the Exercise Date
in respect of more than [limit on aggregate number of Warrants to be exercised
on any day] Warrants, then at the Company's election (by giving notice thereof
to the Warrant Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the New
York Business Day immediately following such Exercise Date), [limit on aggregate
number of Warrants to be exercised on any day] of such Warrants shall be deemed
exercised on such Exercise Date (selected by the Warrant Agent on a pro rata
basis, but if, as a result of such pro rata selection, any Registered Holders
would be deemed to have exercised less than [minimum exercise amount] Warrants,
then the Warrant Agent shall first select additional amounts of such holders'
Warrants so that no holder shall be deemed to have exercised less than [minimum
exercise amount] Warrants), and the remainder of such Warrants (the "Remaining
Warrants") shall be deemed exercised on the following New York Business Day
(notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.01(b)); provided that in the event
that the aggregate number of such Remaining Warrants, together with any
additional Warrants with respect to which the Exercise Date would be such
following New York Business Day, exceeds the [limit on aggregate number of
Warrants to be exercised on any day] the provisions of this Section 2.04 shall
apply to the exercise of such Remaining Warrants and such additional Warrants on
such following New York Business Day and successively until the limitations set
forth in this Section 2.04 are no longer exceeded; provided further that, any
such Remaining Warrants shall be deemed exercised before any such additional
Warrants.

     If any beneficial owner of Warrants attempts to exercise more than
[individual limit] Warrants on any New York Business Day, then at the Company's
election (as notified to the Warrant Agent by giving notice thereof to




                                       17

<PAGE>



the Warrant Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the next New
York Business Day following such Day) [individual limit] of such Warrants shall
be deemed exercised on such New York Business Day and the remainder of such
Warrants shall be deemed exercised on the following New York Business Day
(notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.01(b)); provided, that in the event
that the aggregate number of such remaining Warrants, together with any
additional Warrants of such beneficial owner with respect to which the Exercise
Date would be such following New York Business Day, exceeds [individual limit],
at the Company's election (as notified in the manner described above) the
provisions of this Section 2.04 shall apply to the exercise of such remaining
Warrants and such additional Warrants on such following New York Business Day
and successively until the limitations set forth in this Section 2.04 are no
longer exceeded; provided further, that, any such remaining Warrants shall be
deemed exercised before any such additional Warrants of such beneficial owner.
The date on which any Warrant is deemed exercised under the preceding sentences
shall for all purposes of this Agreement be the "Exercise Date" in respect of
such Warrants.

     SECTION 2.05. Covenant of the Company. The Company covenants, for the
benefit of the Warrantholders, that it will not seek the delisting of the
Warrants from, or suspension of their trading on, the [exchange on which the
Warrants are listed] unless the Company has, at the same time, arranged for
listing on another United States national securities exchange.

     SECTION 2.06. Return of Money Held Unclaimed for Two Years. Except as
otherwise provided herein, any money deposited with or paid to the Warrant Agent
for the payment of the Cash Settlement Value [or Alternative Settlement Amount]
of any Warrants and not applied but remaining unclaimed for two years after the
date upon which such Cash Settlement Value [or Alternative Settlement Amount]
shall have become due and payable shall be repaid by the Warrant Agent to the
Company, at the Company's request, and the holders of such Warrants shall
thereafter look only to the Company for any payment which such holders may be
entitled to collect and all liability of the Warrant Agent with respect to such
money shall thereupon cease; provided that the Warrant Agent, before making any
such repayment, may at the expense of the Company notify (i) in the case of
Certificated Warrants, the Registered Holders or (ii) in the case of Book-Entry
Warrants, the Participants concerned, that said money has not been so applied
and remains unclaimed and that after a date named in the notification any
unclaimed balance of said money then remaining will be returned to the Company.

     SECTION 2.07. Return of Global Warrant Certificate. In the event a Global
Warrant Certificate is issued, at such time as all of the Warrants evidenced by
such Certificate have been exercised (including pursuant to an automatic




                                       18

<PAGE>



exercise) [or otherwise cancelled] and all payments to the Participants made as
provided herein, the Warrant Agent shall dispose of the cancelled Global Warrant
Certificate in accordance with its customary procedures (unless instructed by
the Company to deliver the Global Warrant Certificate to the Company) and shall
provide a certificate of disposition to the Company.

              OTHER PROVISIONS RELATING TO RIGHTS OF WARRANTHOLDERS

     SECTION 3.01. Warrantholder of Warrant May Enforce Rights. Notwithstanding
any of the provisions of this Agreement, any Warrantholder, without the consent
of the Warrant Agent, may, in and for its own behalf, enforce, and may institute
and maintain, any suit, action or proceeding against the Company suitable to
enforce, or otherwise in respect of, its right to exercise, and to receive
payment for, its Warrants as provided in this Agreement.

               WARRANTS ACQUIRED BY THE COMPANY; PAYMENT OF TAXES

     SECTION 4.01. Warrants Acquired by the Company. In the event the Company
shall purchase or otherwise acquire Warrants, such Warrants may, at the option
of the Company, be (i) in the case of Certificated Warrants, delivered to the
Warrant Agent, and if so delivered, the Warrant Agent shall promptly cancel such
Warrants on the records of the Warrant Agent or (ii) in the case of Book-Entry
Warrants, surrendered free through a Participant to the Depository for credit to
the account of the Warrant Agent maintained at the Depository, and if so
credited, the Warrant Agent shall promptly note the cancellation of such
Warrants by notation on the records of the Warrant Agent and the Warrant Agent
shall cause its records to be marked to reflect the reduction in the number of
Warrants represented by the Global Warrant Certificate by the number of Warrants
so cancelled promptly after such account is credited. In the case of Book-Entry
Warrants, such Warrants may also, at the option of the Company, be resold by the
Company directly or to or through any of its affiliates in lieu of being
surrendered to the Depository. No Warrant Certificate shall be countersigned in
lieu of or in exchange for any Warrant which is cancelled as provided herein,
except as otherwise expressly permitted by this Agreement.

     Any cancelled Warrant Certificate held by the Warrant Agent under this
Agreement shall be disposed of by the Warrant Agent in accordance with its




                                       19

<PAGE>



customary procedures unless otherwise directed by the Company, and the Warrant
Agent shall deliver a certificate of disposition to the Company evidencing the
same.

     SECTION 4.02. Payment of Taxes. The Company will pay all stamp, withholding
and other duties, if any, attributable to the initial issuance of Warrants;
provided, however, that, anything in this Agreement to the contrary
notwithstanding, the Company shall not be required to pay any tax or other
governmental charge which may be payable in respect of any transfer involving
any beneficial or record interest in, or ownership interest of, any Warrants,
Warrant Certificates or Global Warrant Certificate which tax or other
governmental charge shall be paid by the appropriate Warrantholder or Registered
Holder.

the rights hereunder of the holders from time to time of the Warrants shall be
subject:

     (a) The Company agrees promptly to pay the Warrant Agent the compensation
to be agreed upon with the Company for all services rendered by the Warrant
Agent and to reimburse the Warrant Agent for its reasonable out-of- pocket
expenses (including attorneys' fees and expenses) incurred by the Warrant Agent
without negligence, bad faith or breach of this Agreement on its part in
connection with the services rendered by it hereunder. The Company also agrees
to indemnify the Warrant Agent for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss,




                                       20

<PAGE>



liability or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses)
incurred without negligence, bad faith or breach of this Agreement on the part
of the Warrant Agent, arising out of or in connection with its acting as such
Warrant Agent hereunder, as well as the reasonable costs and expenses of
defending against any claim of liability in the premises. The obligations of the
Company under this Section 5.02(a) shall survive the termination of this
Agreement.

     (b) In acting under this Agreement, the Warrant Agent is acting solely as
agent of the Company and does not assume any obligation or relationship of
agency or trust for or with any of the owners or holders of the Warrants.

     (c) The Warrant Agent may consult with counsel satisfactory to it
(including counsel to the Company), and the opinion of such counsel 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
opinion of such counsel.

     (d) The Warrant Agent shall be protected and shall incur no liability for
or in respect of any action taken or thing suffered by it in reliance upon any
notice, direction, consent, certificate, affidavit, statement or other paper or
document reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been presented or
signed by the proper parties.

     (e) The Warrant Agent, and its officers, directors and employees, may
become the owner of, or acquire any interest in, any Warrants or other
obligations of the Company, with the same rights that it or they would have if
it were not the Warrant Agent hereunder and, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, it or they may engage or be interested in any financial or other
transaction with the Company and may act on behalf of, or as depository, trustee
or agent for, any committee or body of owners or holders of Warrants or other
obligations of the Company as freely as if it were not the Warrant Agent
hereunder.

     (f) The Warrant Agent shall not be under any liability for interest on any
monies at any time received by it pursuant to any of the provisions of this
Agreement nor shall it be obligated to segregate such monies from other monies
held by it, except as required by law. The Warrant Agent shall not be
responsible for advancing funds on behalf of the Company.

     (g) The Warrant Agent shall not be under any responsibility with respect to
the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement or the execution and delivery
hereof (except the due authorization, execution and delivery hereof by the
Warrant Agent) or with respect to the validity or execution of the Warrant
Certificates or the Global Warrant Certificate (except its countersignature
thereof).




                                       21

<PAGE>




     (h) The recitals contained herein and in the Warrant Certificates or the
Global Warrant Certificate (except as to the Warrant Agent's countersignature
thereon) shall be taken as the statements of the Company, and the Warrant Agent
assumes no responsibility for the correctness of the same.

     (i) The Warrant Agent shall be obligated to perform such duties as are
herein specifically set forth, and no implied duties or obligations shall be
read into this Agreement against the Warrant Agent. The Warrant Agent shall not
be under any obligation to take any action hereunder likely to involve it in any
expense or liability, the payment of which is not, in its reasonable opinion,
assured to it. The Warrant Agent shall not be accountable or under any duty or
responsibility for the application by the Company of any proceeds. The Warrant
Agent shall have no duty or responsibility in case of any default by the Company
in the performance of its covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement or
in any Warrant Certificate or the Global Warrant Certificate or in the case of
the receipt of any written demand from a holder of a Warrant with respect to
such default, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any
duty or responsibility to initiate or attempt to initiate any proceedings at law
or otherwise or, except as provided in Section 6.02 hereof, to make any demand
upon the Company.

     SECTION 5.03. Resignation and Appointment of Successor. (a) The Company
agrees, for the benefit of the holders from time to time of the Warrants, that
there shall at all times be a Warrant Agent hereunder until all the Warrants are
no longer outstanding or until monies for the payment of all outstanding
Warrants, if any, shall have been paid to the Warrant Agent and shall have been
returned to the Company as provided in Section 2.06, whichever occurs earlier.

     (b) The Warrant Agent may at any time resign as such agent by giving
written notice to the Company of such intention on its part, specifying the date
on which its desired resignation shall become effective, subject to the
appointment of a successor Warrant Agent and acceptance of such appointment by
such successor Warrant Agent as hereinafter provided. The Warrant Agent
hereunder may be removed at any time by the filing with it of an instrument in
writing signed by or on behalf of the Company and specifying such removal and
the date when it shall become effective. Such resignation or removal shall take
effect upon the appointment by the Company, as hereinafter provided, of a
successor Warrant Agent (which shall be a banking institution organized under
the laws of the United States of America or one of the states thereof, have a
combined capital and surplus of at least $100,000,000 (as set forth in its most
recent reports of condition published pursuant to law or to the requirements of
any United States federal or state regulatory or supervisory authority) and
having an office in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York) and the
acceptance of such appointment by




                                       22

<PAGE>



such successor Warrant Agent. In the event a successor Warrant Agent has not
been appointed and accepted its duties within 90 days of the Warrant Agent's
notice of resignation, the Warrant Agent may apply to any court of competent
jurisdiction for the designation of a successor Warrant Agent. The obligation of
the Company under Section 5.02(a) shall continue to the extent set forth therein
notwithstanding the resignation or removal of the Warrant Agent.

     (c) In case at any time the Warrant Agent shall give notice of its intent
to resign, or shall be removed, or shall become incapable of acting, or shall be
adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or make an assignment for the benefit of its
creditors, or consent to the appointment of a receiver or custodian of all or
any substantial part of its property, or shall admit in writing its inability to
pay or meet its debts as they mature, or if a receiver or custodian of it or of
all or any substantial part of its property shall be appointed, or if any public
officer shall have taken charge or control of the Warrant Agent or of its
property or affairs, for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or
liquidation, a successor Warrant Agent, qualified as aforesaid, shall be
promptly appointed by the Company by an instrument in writing, filed with the
successor Warrant Agent. Upon the appointment as aforesaid of a successor
Warrant Agent and acceptance by the latter of such appointment, the Warrant
Agent so superseded shall cease to be Warrant Agent hereunder.

     (d) Any successor Warrant Agent appointed hereunder shall execute,
acknowledge and deliver to its predecessor and to the Company an instrument
accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon such successor Warrant
Agent, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all
the authority, rights, powers, trusts, immunities, duties and obligations of
such predecessor with like effect as if originally named as Warrant Agent
hereunder, and such predecessor, upon payment of its charges and disbursements
then unpaid, shall thereupon become obligated to transfer, deliver and pay over,
and such successor Warrant Agent shall be entitled to receive, all monies,
securities and other property on deposit with or held by such predecessor
(including, without limitation, the Warrant Register), as Warrant Agent
hereunder.

     (e) Any corporation into which the Warrant Agent hereunder may be merged or
converted or any corporation with which the Warrant Agent may be consolidated,
or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to
which the Warrant Agent shall be a party or any corporation to which the Warrant
Agent shall sell or otherwise transfer all or substantially all the corporate
agency assets and business of the Warrant Agent, provided that it shall be
qualified as aforesaid, shall be the successor Warrant Agent under this
Agreement without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the
part of any of the parties hereto.

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

     SECTION 6.01. Amendment. (a) This Agreement and the terms of the Warrants
may be amended by the Company, the Warrant Agent [and the Determination Agent],
without the consent of the Warrantholders, for the purpose of curing any
ambiguity, or of curing, correcting or supplementing any defective or
inconsistent provision contained herein or therein or in any other manner which
the Company may deem necessary or desirable and which will not materially and
adversely affect the interests of the owners or holders of the Warrants.
Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6.01 to the contrary, this Agreement
may not be amended to provide for the countersigning by the Warrant Agent of
Warrant Certificates evidencing in the aggregate in excess of [maximum number of
issuable Warrants] Warrants unless and until the Warrant Agent has received
notice from the [exchange on which Warrants are to be listed] or any successor
United States national securities exchange that the additional Warrants in
excess of [maximum number of issuable Warrants] have been approved for listing
on such exchange.

     (b) The Company, the Warrant Agent [and the Determination Agent] may modify
or amend this Agreement, with the consent of Warrantholders (by vote of
Registered Holders or, in the case of Warrants held through the Depository,
acting through a Participant or the Depository) holding not less than a majority
in number of the then outstanding Warrants affected by such modification or
amendment, for any purpose; provided, however, that no such modification or
amendment that [increases the [strike amount], [base amount] in the case of call
warrants] [decreases the [strike amount], [base amount] in the case of put
warrants], shortens the period of time during which the Warrants may be
exercised, or otherwise materially and adversely affects the exercise rights of
the Warrantholders or reduces the percentage of the number of outstanding
Warrants, the consent of whose holders is required for modification or amendment
of this Agreement, may be made without the consent of each Warrantholder
affected thereby. In the case of Warrants evidenced by a Global Warrant
Certificate, the Company and the Warrant Agent shall be entitled to rely upon
certification in form satisfactory to each of them that any requisite consent
has been obtained from holders of beneficial ownership interests in the relevant
Global Warrant Certificate. Such certification may be provided by Participants
acting on behalf of such beneficial owners of Warrants, provided that any such
certification is accompanied by a certification from the Depository as to the
Warrant holdings of such Participants.

     SECTION 6.05. Obtaining of Approvals. The Company will from time to time
take all action which may be necessary to obtain and keep effective (a) any and
all permits, consents and approvals of governmental agencies and authorities and

sole and exclusive benefit of the Company, the Warrant Agent, and their
respective successors, the registered holder of the Global Warrant Certificate

                               [Title of Warrants]

     This Warrant Certificate certifies that       , or registered assigns, is
the registered holder of                 [title of Warrants] (the "Warrants").

form delivered herewith), duly completed and executed, at the offices of the
Warrant Agent in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, each Warrant
evidenced hereby entitles the registered owner hereof (each a "Warrantholder")
to receive, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the
Warrant Agreement, from J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. (the "Company") the Cash
Settlement Value in [payment currency] (the "Cash Settlement Value") equal to

Warrant Agreement) at or before 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the earlier of
(i) the New York Business Day immediately preceding the Expiration Date and (ii)

                                    [REVERSE]


                             J.P. MORGAN CHASE & CO.


     The Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate are part of a duly
authorized issue of Warrants issued by the Company pursuant to a Warrant
Agreement, dated as of                (the "Warrant Agreement"), among the
Company, [                            ] (the "Warrant Agent") and
[                           ] (the "Determination Agent") and is subject to
the terms and provisions contained in the Warrant Agreement, to all of which
terms and provisions each Warrantholder consents by acceptance of this Warrant
Certificate and which Warrant Agreement is hereby incorporated by reference in
and made a part of this Warrant Certificate. A copy of the Warrant Agreement is
on file at the Warrant Agent's Office (as defined herein).

     The Warrants are unsecured contractual obligations of the Company and rank
on a parity with the Company's other unsecured contractual obligations and with
the Company's unsecured and unsubordinated debt.

     Subject to the provisions hereof and the Warrant Agreement, each Warrant
may be exercised, during the period from its date of issuance until 3:00 p.m.,
New York City time, on the earlier of (i) the New York Business Day immediately
preceding the Expiration Date and (ii) any Delisting Date (as defined herein) by
delivering or causing to be delivered this Warrant Certificate and attached
Exercise Notice (or an Exercise Notice in substantially identical form), duly
completed and executed, to the Warrant Agent's offices in the Borough of
Manhattan, The City of New York (the "Warrant Agent's Office"), which are, on
the date hereof, located at [                              ] or at such other
address as the Warrant Agent may specify from time to time.

     Each Warrant entitles the Warrantholder to receive, upon exercise
(including automatic exercise), the Cash Settlement Value of such Warrant,
[except that, under the circumstances described below and in the Warrant
Agreement, such Warrantholder may instead receive the Alternative Settlement
Amount for such Warrant]. The "Cash Settlement Value" of a Warrant shall be an
amount in [payment currency] equal to [formula or method of calculation for cash
settlement value]; provided, however, that if such amount is less than or equal
to zero, then the Cash Settlement Value shall be zero.

     [The "Strike Amount" is          which was determined by the Determination
Agent and is the [formula for strike amount]].




                                       A-4

<PAGE>



     [The Company has appointed [                               ] to be its
Determination Agent to make such calculations as may be required upon the
occurrence of certain circumstances, as described in the Warrant Agreement and
herein. The Determination Agent shall act as an independent expert and not as an
agent of the Company, and, unless otherwise provided by the Warrant Agreement,
its calculations and determinations under the Warrant Agreement and this Warrant
Certificate shall, absent manifest error, be final and binding on the Company,
the Warrant Agent and the Warrantholders. Any such calculations will be made
available to a Warrantholder for inspection at the Warrant Agent's office. The
Determination Agent will have no responsibility for good faith errors or
omissions in calculating or disseminating information regarding the adjustments
or calculations by the Determination Agent in order to arrive at a calculation
the Cash Settlement Value [or the Alternative Settlement Amount, as
applicable].]

     Subject to the Warrant Agreement and this Warrant Certificate, the
"Valuation Date" for a Warrant will be the applicable Exercise Date, subject to
postponement [upon the occurrence of an Extraordinary Event or Exercise
Limitation Event or] as a result of the exercise of a number of Warrants
exceeding the limits on exercise, all as described below. Except for Warrants
subject to automatic exercise, the "Exercise Date" for a Warrant will be (i) the
New York Business Day on which the Warrant Agent receives the Warrant and
Exercise Notice in proper form with respect to such Warrant, if received at or
prior to 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on such day, or (ii) if the Warrant
Agent receives such Warrant or Exercise Notice after 3:00 P.M., New York City
time, on a New York Business Day, then the next New York Business Day succeeding
the New York Business Day on which such Warrant or Exercise Notice is received.
All Warrants for which the Warrant Agent has not received a valid Exercise
Notice at or prior to 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on (i) the New York
Business Day immediately preceding the Expiration Date or (ii) any Delisting
Date, as the case may be, or for which the Warrant Agent has received a valid
Exercise Notice but with respect to which timely delivery of the relevant
Warrants has not been made, together with any Warrants the Valuation Date for
which has at such time been postponed as described below, will be automatically
exercised. The Exercise Date for such Warrants will be the Expiration Date or
any Delisting Date, as the case may be, or, if such date is not a New York
Business Day, the next succeeding New York Business Day. The Warrant Agent will
obtain the Spot Rate (determined as of the Valuation Date for such Warrants
[except in the case of a postponed exercise following the occurrence of an
Extraordinary Event or an Exercise Limitation Event]) and will determine the
Cash Settlement Value, if any, of such Warrants.

     If the Exercise Notice is not rejected as provided in the Warrant
Agreement, then the Warrant Agent [or the Determination Agent, as the case may
be,] will determine the Cash Settlement Value of the exercised Warrants in




                                       A-5

<PAGE>



accordance with the terms of the Warrant Agreement. Except in the case of
Warrants subject to automatic exercise [and for Warrants that upon exercise
entitle the holder thereof to receive an Alternative Settlement Amount in lieu
of the Cash Settlement Value], if on any Valuation Date the Cash Settlement
Value for any Warrants then exercised would be zero, then the attempted exercise
of any such Warrants shall be void and of no effect and the Warrant Certificate
evidencing such Warrants will be returned to the registered holder of the
Warrant by first class mail at the Company's expense and such holder shall be
permitted to re-exercise such Warrants prior to the Expiration Date or any
Delisting Date, as the case may be.

     Except in the case of Warrants subject to automatic exercise [and for
Warrants that upon exercise entitle the holder thereof to receive an Alternative
Settlement Amount in lieu of the Cash Settlement Value], if the Company has made
adequate funds available to the Warrant Agent in a timely manner which shall in
no event be later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the fourth New York
Business Day following the Valuation Date, (the "Funding Date"), the Warrant
Agent will be responsible for making payment available to each Registered Holder
of an exercised Warrant in the form of a cashier's check or an official bank
check, or (in the case of payments of at least $100,000) by wire transfer to a
U.S. dollar bank account maintained by such registered holder in the United
States (at the registered holder's election as specified in the Exercise Notice)
after 3:00 p.m., New York City, time but prior to the close of business on the
first New York Business Day such Funding Date against receipt by the Warrant
Agent at the Warrant Agent's office of such Registered Holder's Warrant
Certificates. Such payment shall be in the amount equal to the aggregate Cash
Settlement Value of such holder's exercised Warrants.

     With respect to automatically exercised Warrants, if the Company has made
adequate funds available to the Warrant Agent not later than 3:00 p.m., New York
City time, on the fourth New York Business Day following the Valuation Date for
automatically exercised Warrants (the "Automatic Funding Date"), funds in an
amount equal to, and for the payment of, the aggregate Cash Settlement Value of
such Warrants, the Warrant Agent will thereafter be responsible for making
payment available to each Registered Holder of the Warrants in the form of a
cashier's check or an official bank check, or (in the case of payments of at
least $100,000) by wire transfer to a U.S. dollar bank account maintained by
such holder in the United States (at such holder's election and upon proper
notice being given to the Company and the Warrant Agent), after 3:00 p.m., New
York City time, but prior to the close of business on the Automatic Funding
Date, against receipt by the Warrant Agent at the Warrant Agent's Office of such
Registered Holder's Warrant Certificates. Such payment shall be in the amount
equal to the aggregate Cash Settlement Value of the Warrants evidenced by such
Warrant Certificates.

     [Extraordinary Event and Exercise Limitation Event provisions, if
applicable.]

     All exercises of Warrants (other than on automatic exercise [or upon
cancellation]) are subject, at the Company's option, to the limitation that not
more than [limit on aggregate number of Warrants to be exercised on any day]
Warrants in total may be exercised on any Exercise Date and not more than
[individual limit] Warrants may be exercised by or on behalf of any beneficial
owner, either individually or in concert with any other beneficial owner, on any
Exercise Date. If any New York Business Day would otherwise, under the terms
hereof, be the Exercise Date in respect of more than [limit on aggregate number
of Warrants to be exercised on any day] Warrants, then at the Company's election
(by giving notice thereof to the Warrant Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., New
York City time, on the New York Business Day immediately following such Exercise
Date), [limit on aggregate number of Warrants to be exercised on any day] of
such Warrants shall be deemed exercised on such Exercise Date (selected by the
Warrant Agent on a pro rata basis, but if, as a result of such pro rata
selection, any registered holders of Warrants would be deemed to have exercised
less than [the minimum exercise amount] Warrants, then the Warrant Agent shall
first select an additional amount of such holders' Warrants so that no holder
shall be deemed to have exercised less than [the minimum exercise amount]
Warrants), and the remainder of such Warrants (the "Remaining Warrants") shall
be deemed exercised on the following New York Business Day (notwithstanding to
the provisions of the Warrant Agreement); provided that in the event that the
aggregate number of such Remaining Warrants, together with any additional
Warrants with respect to which the Exercise Date would be such following New
York Business Day, exceeds [limit on aggregate number of Warrants to be
exercised on any day] the provisions of this paragraph shall apply to the
exercise of such Remaining Warrants and such additional Warrants on such
following New York Business Day and successively until the limitations set forth
in this paragraph and in the Warrant Agreement are no longer exceeded; provided
further, that any such Remaining Warrants shall be deemed exercised before any
such additional Warrants.

     If any beneficial owner of Warrants attempts to exercise more than
[individual limit] Warrants on any New York Business Day, then at the Company's
election (as notified to the Warrant Agent by giving notice thereof to the
Warrant Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the New York
Business Day following such New York Business Day), [individual limit] of such
Warrants shall be deemed exercised on such New York Business Day and the
remainder of such Warrants shall be deemed exercised on the following New York
Business Day (notwithstanding the provisions in the Warrant Agreement) provided
that in the event that the aggregate number of such remaining Warrants, together
with any additional Warrants of such beneficial owner with respect to




                                       A-7

<PAGE>



which the Exercise Date would be such following New York Business Day, exceeds
[individual limit], at the Company's election (as notified in the manner
described above), the provisions of this paragraph shall apply to the exercise
of such remaining Warrants and such additional Warrants on such following New
York Business Day and successively until the limitations set forth in this
paragraph and in the Warrant Agreement are no longer exceeded; provided further,
that any such remaining Warrants shall be deemed exercised before any such
additional Warrants of such beneficial owner. The date on which any Warrant is
deemed exercised under the preceding sentences shall for all purposes of this
Warrant Certificate be deemed to be the "Exercise Date" in respect of such
Warrants.

     Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer, the Company, the
Warrant Agent, and any agent of the Company or the Warrant Agent, may deem and
treat the registered owner hereof as the absolute owner of the Warrants
evidenced hereby (notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing
hereon) for any purpose whatsoever, and as the person entitled to exercise the
rights represented by the Warrants evidenced hereby, and neither the Company nor
the Warrant Agent, nor any agent of the Company or the Warrant Agent, shall be
affected by any notice to the contrary.

     The Warrant Agent will, in accordance with the Warrant Agreement, from time
to time register the transfer of this Warrant Certificate upon surrender hereof
at the Warrant Agent's office accompanied by a written instrument or instruments
of transfer in form satisfactory to the Warrant Agent duly executed by, the
registered holder(s) hereof, a duly appointed legal representative or duly
authorized attorney. Such signature must be guaranteed by a bank or trust
company having a correspondent office in New York City or by a broker or dealer
which is a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (the
"NASD") or by a member of a national securities exchange. A new Warrant
Certificate shall be issued to the transferee(s) upon any such registration of
transfer, and this Warrant Certificate shall be cancelled by the Warrant Agent.

     In order to be exchanged for a Warrant in book-entry form, a Warrant
Certificate must be delivered to DTC, in proper form for deposit, by a
Participant. Accordingly, unless Warrants are purchased in book-entry form, a
Warrantholder who is not a Participant must deliver his Warrant Certificate, in
proper form for deposit, to a Participant, either directly or through an
indirect participant (such as a bank, brokerage firm, dealer or trust company
that clears through, or maintains a custodial relationship with, a Participant)
or brokerage firm which maintains an account with a Participant, in order to
have its Warrant Certificate exchanged for a Warrant in book-entry form.

<PAGE>



     Warrant Certificates received by The Depository Trust Company ("DTC") for
exchange will be exchanged for Warrants in book-entry form by the close of
business on the New York Business Day that such Certificates are received by DTC
(if received by DTC at its then applicable cut-off time for same day credit) or
on the following New York Business Day (if received by DTC at its then
applicable cut-off time for next day credit). Warrants surrendered at any time
for exchange for book-entry Warrants may not be exercised or delivered for
settlement or transfer until such exchange has been effected. The Company has
been informed by Clearstream and Euroclear that such clearing agencies will
clear Warrants in book-entry form and that Warrants may not be held in
certificated form through their facilities. Once a Warrantholder has elected to
exchange for a Warrant in book-entry form, such Warrantholder may hold his
Warrants only in book-entry form and will not be able to change his election or
withdraw from the book-entry system thereafter, except as provided in the
Warrant Agreement.

     As provided in the Warrant Agreement and subject to certain limitations,
this Warrant Certificate may be exchanged for other Warrant Certificates,
representing a like number of Warrants, upon surrender to the Warrant Agent at
the Warrant Agent's Office of this Warrant Certificate. The Company will
thereupon execute, and the Warrant Agent will countersign and deliver, one or
more new Warrant Certificates representing such like number of Warrants. Upon
surrender of this Warrant Certificate for exchange, the Warrant Agent shall
cancel this Warrant Certificate.

     No service charge will be made for any registration of transfer or exchange
of this Warrant Certificate, but the Company may require the payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in
relation thereto, other than exchanges not involving any transfer.

     Capitalized terms included herein but not defined herein have the meanings
assigned thereto in the Warrant Agreement.

     For purposes of this Certificate ["Reference Rate" means the [Reference
Rate] and ["Reference Debt Instrument" means the [Reference Debt Instrument]].
[[The "Spot Amount"] for any date means [insert definition from Prospectus
Supplement] [Alternative provision for calculation of Spot Rate.] References in
this Agreement to "U.S. dollars", "U.S.$" or "$" are to the lawful currency of
the United States of America [other currency or currency unit]. As used herein,
"New York Business Day" means any day other than a Saturday or a Sunday or a day
on which commercial banks in New York City are required or authorized by law or
executive order to remain closed. [Provisions for other relevant definitions]

                             J.P. MORGAN CHASE & CO.

                     Global Warrant Certificate Representing

                             [Title of the Warrants]


     This certifies that CEDE & CO., or registered assigns, is the Registered
Holder of the number of [title of the Warrants] (the "Warrants") set forth from
time to time on Schedule A hereto. Each Warrant entitles the beneficial owner
thereof (each a "Warrantholder") to receive, subject to the conditions set forth
herein and in the Warrant Agreement referred to below, from J.P. Morgan Chase &
Co. (the "Company") the Cash Settlement Value in [name of payment currency]
equal to [formula or method of calculation for cash settlement value]; provided,
however, that if such amount is less than or equal to zero, then the Cash
Settlement Value shall be zero. In no event shall a Warrantholder be entitled to
any interest on any Cash Settlement Value.

     Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Warrant
Agreement, each Warrant may be exercised, on any New York Business Day during
the period from its date of issuance until 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the
earlier of (i) the New York Business Day immediately preceding the date
(established pursuant to a Board Resolution or Resolutions) upon which the right
to exercise the Warrants expires (the "Expiration Date") and (ii) any Delisting
Date (as defined herein). Any Warrant not exercised (including by reason of any
postponed exercise as described herein and in the Warrant Agreement) at or
before 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the earlier of (i) the New York
Business Day immediately preceding the Expiration Date and (ii) any Delisting
Date, will be automatically exercised.

     This Global Warrant Certificate shall not be valid unless countersigned by
the Warrant Agent.

     The Warrants evidenced by this Global Warrant Certificate are part of a
duly authorized issue of Warrants issued by the Company pursuant to a Warrant
Agreement, dated as of                  (the "Warrant Agreement"), among the
Company, [                            ] (the "Warrant Agent"), [and
[                           ] (the "Determination Agent"),] and is subject to
the terms and provisions contained in the Warrant Agreement, to all of which
terms and provisions the Warrantholders, the entities through which such
Warrantholders hold their beneficial interests in the Warrants and the
Registered Holder of this Global Warrant Certificate consent by acceptance of
this Global Warrant Certificate by the Depository and which Warrant Agreement is
hereby




                                      A-1-3

<PAGE>



incorporated by reference in and made a part of this Global Warrant Certificate.
A copy of the Warrant Agreement is on file at the Warrant Agent's Office.

     The Warrants are unsecured contractual obligations of the Company and rank
on a parity with the Company's other unsecured contractual obligations and with
the Company's unsecured and unsubordinated debt.

     Subject to the provisions hereof and the Warrant Agreement, each Warrant
represented by this Global Warrant Certificate (each a "Book-Entry Warrant") may
be exercised on any New York Business Day until 3:00 P.M., New York City time,
on the earlier of (i) the New York Business Day immediately preceding the
Expiration Date and (ii) any Delisting Date, by causing (x) such Warrant to be
transferred free to the Warrant Agent on the records of the Depository in
accordance with the Depository's Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian procedures and
(y) a duly completed and executed Exercise Notice to be received by the Warrant
Agent from a Participant acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of the
Warrantholder; provided, however, that Exercise Notices are subject to rejection
by the Warrant Agent as provided herein and in the Warrant Agreement.

     In the case of Book-Entry Warrants held through the facilities of
Clearstream or Euroclear, a Warrantholder may exercise each Warrant on any New
York Business Day until 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the earlier of (i) the
New York Business Day immediately preceding the Expiration Date and (ii) any
Delisting Date by causing (x) such Warrant to be transferred to the Warrant
Agent (in accordance with the preceding paragraph), by giving appropriate
instructions either to Clearstream or to the participant holding his Warrants in
Euroclear, as the case may be, and (y) a duly completed and executed Exercise
Notice to be delivered on behalf of the Warrantholder by Clearstream, in the
case of Warrants held through Clearstream, or such participant, in the case of
Warrants held through Euroclear, to the Warrant Agent.

     Each Warrant entitles the Warrantholder to receive, upon exercise
(including automatic exercise), the Cash Settlement Value of such Warrant [,
except that, under the circumstances described below and in the Warrant
Agreement, such Warrantholder may instead receive the Alternative Settlement
Amount for such Warrant]. The "Cash Settlement Value" of a Warrant shall be an
amount in [payment currency] equal to [formula or method of calculation for cash
settlement value]; provided, however, that if such amount is less than or equal
to zero, then the Cash Settlement Value shall be zero.



     [The Company has appointed [                                       ], as
Determination Agent, to make such calculations as may be required upon the




                                      A-1-4

<PAGE>



occurrence of certain circumstances, as described in the Warrant Agreement and
herein. The Determination Agent shall act as an independent expert and not as an
agent of the Company, and, unless otherwise provided by the Warrant Agreement,
its calculations and determinations under the Warrant Agreement and this Global
Warrant Certificate shall, absent manifest error, be final and binding on the
Company, the Warrant Agent and the Warrantholders. Any such calculations will be
made available to a Warrantholder for inspection at the Warrant Agent's office.
The Determination Agent will have no responsibility for good faith errors or
omissions in calculating or disseminating information regarding the adjustments
or calculations by the Determination Agent in order to arrive at a calculation
of the Cash Settlement Value or the Alternative Settlement Amount, as
applicable.]

     Except for Warrants subject to automatic exercise or Warrants held through
the facilities of Clearstream or Euroclear, the "Exercise Date" for a Warrant
will be (i) the New York Business Day on which the Warrant Agent receives the
Warrant and Exercise Notice in proper form with respect to such Warrant, if
received at or prior to 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on such day, or (ii) if
the Warrant Agent receives such Warrant or Exercise Notice after 3:00 P.M., New
York City time, on a New York Business Day, then the next New York Business Day
succeeding the New York Business Day on which such Warrant or Exercise Notice is
received. In the case of Warrants held through the facilities of Clearstream or
Euroclear, except for Warrants subject to automatic exercise, the "Exercise
Date" for a Warrant means (i) the New York Business Day on which the Warrant
Agent receives (by facsimile transmission) the Exercise Notice in proper form
with respect to such Warrant if such Exercise Notice is received at or prior to
3:00 P.M., New York City time, on such day, provided, that the Warrant being
exercised is received by the Warrant Agent by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on
the New York Business Day next succeeding the date on which the exercise notice
is received, or (ii) if the Warrant Agent receives such Exercise Notice after
3:00 P.M., New York City time, on a New York Business Day, then the New York
Business Day succeeding such New York Business Day, provided that such day will
be the Exercise Date only if the Warrant being exercised is received by 3:00
P.M., New York City time, on the second succeeding New York Business Day
following the New York Business Day on which the Exercise Notice is received. In
the event that the Warrant being exercised is received after 3:00 P.M., New York
City time, on the New York Business Day next succeeding the date on which the
Exercise Notice is received, then the Exercise Date for such Warrant will be the
day on which such Warrant is received or, if such day is not a New York Business
Day, the next succeeding New York Business Day. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
in the case of the exercise of a Warrant by a Clearstream or Euroclear
participant, Clearstream or Euroclear, as the case may be, must by facsimile
transmission to the Warrant Agent by 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the New
York Business Day next succeeding the Exercise Date confirm (an "Account
Confirmation") that the




                                      A-1-5

<PAGE>



Warrants being exercised will be received by the Warrant Agent by 3:00 p.m., New
York City time, on such date, provided, further, that if such Account
Confirmation is received after 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the New York
Business Day next succeeding the Exercise Date, the Company will be entitled to
direct the Warrant Agent to reject the related Exercise Notice or waive the
requirement for timely delivery of such Account Confirmation.

     Subject to the Warrant Agreement and this Global Warrant Certificate, the
"Valuation Date" for a Warrant will be the applicable Exercise Date, subject to
postponement [upon the occurrence of an Extraordinary Event or Exercise
Limitation Event or] as a result of the exercise of a number of Warrants
exceeding the limits on exercise, all as described below.

     All Warrants for which the Warrant Agent has not received a valid Exercise
Notice at or prior to 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on (i) the New York
Business Day immediately preceding the Expiration Date or (ii) any Delisting
Date, as the case may be, or for which the Warrant Agent has received a valid
Exercise Notice but with respect to which timely delivery of the relevant
Warrants has not been made, together with any Warrants by such date the
Valuation Date for which has at such time been postponed as described below,
will be automatically exercised. The Exercise Date for such Warrants will be the
Expiration Date or any Delisting Date, as the case may be, or, if such date is
not a New York Business Day, the next succeeding New York Business Day. The
Warrant Agent will obtain the Spot Rate (determined as of the Valuation Date for
such Warrants [except in the case of a postponed exercise following the
occurrence of an Extraordinary Event or Exercise Limitation Event]) and will
determine the Cash Settlement Value, if any, of such Warrants.

     If the Exercise Notice is not rejected as provided in the Warrant
Agreement, then the Warrant Agent [or the Determination Agent, as the case may
be], will determine the Cash Settlement Value of the exercised Warrants in accor
dance with the terms of the Warrant Agreement. Except in the case of Warrants
subject to automatic exercise [and except for Warrants that upon exercise
entitle the holder thereof to receive an Alternative Settlement Amount in lieu
of the Cash Settlement Value], if on any Valuation Date the Cash Settlement
Value for any Warrants then exercised would be zero, then the attempted exercise
of any such Warrants shall be void and of no effect and the Warrants will be
transferred by the Warrant Agent back to the Participant that submitted them
free on the records of the Depository (to the extent received, in the case of
Warrants held through Clearstream or Euroclear) and, in either case such
Warrantholder shall be permitted to re-exercise such Warrants prior to the
Expiration Date or any Delisting Date, as the case may be.




                                      A-1-6

<PAGE>



     Except in the case of Warrants subject to automatic exercise [and except
for Warrants that upon exercise entitle the holder thereof to receive an
Alternative Settlement amount in lieu of the Cash Settlement Value], if the
Company has made adequate funds available to the Warrant Agent in a timely
manner, which shall in no event be later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on
the fourth New York Business Day following a Valuation Date (the "Funding
Date"), the Warrant Agent will be responsible for making payment available to
each appropriate Participant in the form of a cashier's check or an official
bank check, or (in the case of payments of at least $100,000) by wire transfer
to a U.S. Dollar account maintained by such Participant in the United States (at
the Participant's election as specified in the Exercise Notice), after 3:00
p.m., New York City time, but prior to the close of business, on the first New
York Business Day immediately succeeding such Funding Date. For either clause
(i) or (ii) above, such payment shall be in the amount of the aggregate Cash
Settlement Value in respect of the Warrant Certificates or Warrants that were
delivered to the Warrant Agent (together with the related Exercise Notice) as
provided in the Warrant Agreement.

     With respect to automatically exercised Warrants [(other than Warrants
subject to postponed exercise following the occurrence of an Extraordinary Event
or an Exercise Limitation Event)], the Company shall make available to the
Warrant Agent, not later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the fourth New
York Business Day following the Valuation Date for automatically exercised
Warrants (the "Automatic Funding Date"), funds in an amount equal to, and for
the payment of, the aggregate Cash Settlement Value of such Warrants. Subject to
such funds having been made available as provided in the preceding sentence, the
Warrant Agent will be responsible for making funds available to the Depository,
against receipt of the Global Warrant Certificate, after 3:00 p.m., New York
City time, but prior to the close of business, on the Automatic Funding Date.
Such funds are to be in an amount equal to the aggregate Cash Settlement Value
of the Warrants subject to such automatic exercise.

     [Extraordinary Event and Exercise Limitation Event provisions, if
applicable.]

     All exercises of Warrants (other than on automatic exercise [or upon
cancellation]) are subject, at the Company's option, to the limitation that not
more than [limit on aggregate number of Warrants to be exercised on any day]
Warrants in total may be exercised on any Exercise Date and not more than
[individual limit] Warrants may be exercised by or on behalf of any beneficial
owner, either individually or in concert with any other beneficial owner, on any
Exercise Date. If any New York Business Day would otherwise, under the terms
hereof, be the Exercise Date in respect of more than [limit on aggregate number
of Warrants to be exercised on any day] Warrants, then at the Company's election
(by giving




                                      A-1-7

<PAGE>



notice thereof to the Warrant Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City
time, on the New York Business Day immediately following such Exercise Date),
[limit on aggregate number of Warrants to be exercised on any day] of such
Warrants shall be deemed exercised on such Exercise Date (selected by the
Warrant Agent on a pro rata basis, but if, as a result of such pro rata
selection, any Registered Holders would be deemed to have exercised less than
[minimum exercise amount] Warrants, then the Warrant Agent shall first select
additional amounts of such holders' Warrants so that no holder shall be deemed
to have exercised less than [minimum exercise amount] Warrants), and the
remainder of such Warrants (the "Remaining Warrants") shall be deemed exercised
on the following New York Business Day (subject to the provisions of the Warrant
Agreement); provided that in the event that the aggregate number of such
Remaining Warrants, together with any additional Warrants with respect to which
the Exercise Date would be such following New York Business Day, exceeds [limit
on aggregate number of Warrants to be exercised on any day] the provisions of
this paragraph shall apply to the exercise of such Remaining Warrants and such
additional Warrants on such following New York Business Day and successively
until the limitations set forth in this paragraph and in the Warrant Agreement
are no longer exceeded; provided further, that any such Remaining Warrants shall
be deemed exercised before any such additional Warrants.

     If any beneficial owner of Warrants attempts to exercise more than
[individual limit] Warrants on any New York Business Day, then at the Company's
election (as notified to the Warrant Agent by giving notice thereof to the
Warrant Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the next New
York Business Day following such Day) [individual limit] of such Warrants shall
be deemed exercised on such New York Business Day and the remainder of such
warrants shall be deemed exercised on the following New York Business Day
(subject to the provisions of the Warrant Agreement); provided that in the event
that the aggregate number of such remaining Warrants, together with any
additional Warrants of such beneficial owner with respect to which the Exercise
Date would be such following New York Business Day, exceeds [individual limit],
at the Company's election (as notified in the manner described above), the
provisions of the paragraph shall apply to the exercise of such remaining
Warrants and such additional Warrants on such following New York Business Day
and successively until the limitations set forth in this paragraph and in the
Warrant Agreement are no longer exceeded; provided further, that any such
remaining Warrants shall be deemed exercised before any such additional Warrants
of such beneficial owner. The date on which any Warrant is deemed exercised
under the preceding two sentences shall for all purposes of this Agreement be
the "Exercise Date" in respect of such Warrants.

     Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer, the Company, the
Warrant Agent, and any agent of the Company or the Warrant Agent, may deem

and treat the registered owner hereof as the absolute owner of the Warrants
evidenced hereby (notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing
hereon) for any purpose whatsoever, and as the person entitled to exercise the
rights represented by the Warrants evidenced hereby, and neither the Company nor
the Warrant Agent, nor any agent of the Company or the Warrant Agent, shall be
affected by any notice to the contrary.

     The Warrant Agent will, in accordance with the Warrant Agreement, from time
to time register the transfer of this Global Warrant Certificate in its records
(which may be maintained electronically) subject to such reasonable regulations
as the Company or the Warrant Agent may prescribe, only to the Depository, to

a successor Depository, upon surrender of such Global Warrant Certificate, duly
endorsed, or accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer in
form satisfactory to the Warrant Agent and the Company, duly executed by the
registered holder thereof or by the duly appointed legal representative thereof,
or by its duly authorized attorney, such signature to be guaranteed by a bank or
trust company with a correspondent office in The City of New York or by a broker
or dealer which is a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers,
Inc. (the "NASD") or by a member of a national securities exchange. Upon any
such registration of transfer, a new Global Warrant Certificate shall be issued
to the transferee and the surrendered Global Warrant Certificate shall be
cancelled by the Warrant Agent.

     The Global Warrant Certificate may be transferred as provided above when
surrendered to the Warrant Agent's Office, or at the office of any successor
Warrant Agent for another Global Warrant Certificate of like tenor and
representing a like number of unexercised Warrants.

                                WARRANT AGREEMENT


         THIS AGREEMENT, dated as of [___________], 20[  ], between
J.P. MORGAN CHASE & CO., a corporation organized and existing under the
laws of the State of Delaware (the "Company"), and [_____________________]
("[_____________________]"), a [          ] banking corporation (the "Warrant
Agent").

         WHEREAS, the Company has duly authorized the issue from time to time of
warrants (the "Universal Warrants") to purchase or sell (i) securities of an
entity unaffiliated with the Company, a basket of such securities, an index or
indices of such securities or any combination of the above, or (ii) commodities
(the property described in clauses (i) and (ii) in relation to a Universal
Warrant, being hereinafter referred to as the "Warrant Property" applicable to
such Universal Warrant) to be issued in one or more series and in such number
and with such terms as may from time to time be authorized in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement;

         WHEREAS, the Company has duly authorized the execution and delivery of
this Agreement to provide, among other things, for the delivery and
administration of the Universal Warrants; and

         WHEREAS, all things necessary to make this Agreement a valid agreement
according to its terms have been done;

         NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows:



                                    ARTICLE 1
                               UNIVERSAL WARRANTS

         SECTION 1.01. Ranking. The Universal Warrants are unsecured contractual
obligations of the Company and will rank pari passu with the Company's other
unsecured contractual obligations and with the Company's unsecured and
unsubordinated debt.

         SECTION 1.02. Form, Execution and Delivery of Warrant Certificates. (a)
Certificates ("Warrant Certificates") evidencing the Universal Warrants of each
series shall be substantially in the form of Exhibits I and II hereto or in such
form (not inconsistent with this Agreement) as shall be established by or
pursuant to one or more Board Resolutions (as defined below) (as set forth in a
Board



<PAGE>



Resolution or, to the extent established pursuant to, rather than set forth in,
a Board Resolution, in an Officer's Certificate (as defined below) detailing
such establishment) or in one or more agreements supplemental hereto, in each
case with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other
variations as are required or permitted by this Agreement. The Warrant
Certificates may have imprinted or otherwise reproduced thereon such letters,
numbers or other marks of identification or designation and such legends or
endorsements as the officers of the Company executing the same may approve
(execution thereof to be conclusive evidence of such approval) and that are not
inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, 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 self- regulatory organization (an "SRO") on
which the Universal Warrants any of such series may be listed, or of any
securities depository, or to conform to usage. Warrant Certificates shall be
signed on behalf of the Company by the chairman of its Board of Directors, any
vice chairman of its Board of Directors or the Chief Financial Officer (or any
other officer certified by any of the foregoing officers in an Officers'
Certificate to be an executive officer of the Company) in each case under its
corporate seal which may, but need not be attested by the secretary or one of
its assistant secretaries of the Company [except that the Global Warrant
Certificate may be executed by any such officer without any necessity that such
signature be under seal as aforesaid]. The signature of any of such officers may
be either manual or facsimile. Typographical and other minor errors or defects
in any such signature shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any
Warrant Certificate that has been duly countersigned and delivered by the
Warrant Agent.

         "Board Resolution" means a copy of one or more resolutions, certified
by the secretary or an assistant secretary of the Company to have been duly
adopted or consented to by the Board of Directors and to be in full force and
effect, and delivered to the Warrant Agent.

         "Board of Directors" means either the Board of Directors of the Company
or any committee of such Board duly authorized to act on its behalf for the
purposes of this Agreement.

         "Officer's Certificate" means a certificate signed by the chairman of
the Board of Directors, the president, a vice chairman of the Board of
Directors, the chief financial officer or the treasurer of the Issuer (or any
other officer identified by any of the foregoing officers in an Officers'
Certificate to be an executive officer of the corporation) and the secretary, an
assistant secretary or the controller of the Issuer and delivered to the Warrant
Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the Universal
Warrants of any series are to be issued as components of a unit ("Unit") with
one or more other securities of the Company, an officer's certificate or similar
certificate relating to the Universal Warrants




                                        2

<PAGE>



delivered pursuant to an indenture or unit agreement or similar agreement
governing such Units or one or more other components thereof may also constitute
an Officer's Certificate under this Agreement.

          (b) In case any officer of the Company who shall have signed a Warrant
Certificate, either manually or by facsimile signature, shall cease to be such
officer before such Warrant Certificate shall have been countersigned and
delivered by the Warrant Agent to the Company or delivered by the Company, such
Warrant Certificate nevertheless may be countersigned and delivered as though
the person who signed such Warrant Certificate had not ceased to be such officer
of the Company; and a Warrant Certificate may be signed on behalf of the Company
by any person who, at the actual date of the execution of such Warrant
Certificate, shall be a proper officer of the Company to sign such Warrant
Certificate, although at the date of the execution of this Warrant Agreement any
such person was not such officer.

          (c) Pending the preparation of final Warrant Certificates evidencing
Universal Warrants of any series, the Company may execute and the Warrant Agent
shall countersign and deliver temporary Warrant Certificates evidencing such
Universal Warrants (printed, lithographed, typewritten or otherwise produced, in
each case in form satisfactory to the Warrant Agent). Such temporary Warrant
Certificates shall be issuable substantially in the form of the final Warrant
Certificates but with such omissions, insertions and variations as may be
appropriate for temporary Warrant Certificates, all as may be determined by the
Company with the concurrence of the Warrant Agent. Such temporary Warrant
Certificates may contain such reference to any provisions of this Warrant
Agreement as may be appropriate. Every such temporary Warrant Certificate shall
be executed by the Company and shall be countersigned by the Warrant Agent upon
the same conditions and in substantially the same manner, and with like effect,
as the final Warrant Certificates. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall
execute and shall furnish final Warrant Certificates and thereupon such
temporary Warrant Certificates may be surrendered in exchange therefor without
charge, and the Warrant Agent shall countersign and deliver in exchange for such
temporary Warrant Certificates final Warrant Certificates evidencing a like
aggregate number of Universal Warrants of the same series and of like tenor as
those evidenced by such temporary Warrant Certificates. Until so exchanged, such
temporary Warrant Certificates and the Universal Warrants evidenced thereby
shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Warrant Agreement as final
Warrant Certificates and the Universal Warrants evidenced thereby.

         SECTION 1.03.  Number Unlimited; Issuable in Series.  (a) The aggregate
number of Universal Warrants that may be delivered under this Agreement is
unlimited.

          (b) The Universal Warrants may be issued in one or more series. There
shall be established in or pursuant to one or more Board Resolutions (and to the
extent established pursuant to, rather than set forth in, a Board Resolution, in
an Officer's Certificate detailing such establishment) or established in one or
more agreements supplemental hereto, prior to the initial issuance of Universal
Warrants of any series;

               (i) the designation of the Universal Warrants of the series,
          which shall distinguish the Universal Warrants of the series from the
          Universal Warrants of all other series;

               (ii) any limit upon the aggregate number of the Universal
          Warrants of the series that may be countersigned and delivered under
          this Agreement (except for Universal Warrants countersigned and
          delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, or in
          lieu of, other Universal Warrants of the series):

               (iii) the specific Warrant Property purchasable or salable upon
          exercise of the Universal Warrants of the series, and the amount
          thereof (or the method for determining the same);

               (iv) the price at which the Universal Warrants of the series will
          be issued and, if other than U.S. dollars, the coin or currency or
          composite currency in which such issue price will be payable;

               (v) whether the Universal Warrants of the series are warrants to
          purchase ("call warrants") or warrants to sell ("put warrants") the
          Warrant Property;

               (vi) the price at which and, if other than U.S. dollars, the coin
          or currency or composite currency with which the Warrant Property may
          be purchased or sold upon exercise of the Universal Warrants of the
          series (or the method for determining the same);

               (vii) whether the exercise price for the Universal Warrants of
          the series may be paid in cash or by the exchange of any other
          security of the Company, or both, or otherwise, and the method of
          exercise of the Universal Warrants of the series;

               (viii) whether the exercise of the Universal Warrants of the
          series is to be settled in cash or by delivery of the Warrant Property
          or both, or otherwise;


                                        4

<PAGE>



               (ix) the date on which the right to exercise the Universal
          Warrants of the series shall commence and the date (the "Expiration
          Date") on which such right shall expire or, if the Universal Warrants
          of the series are not continuously exercisable throughout such period,
          the specific date or dates on which they will be exercisable;

               (x) whether the Warrant Certificates representing the Universal
          Warrants of the series will be in registered form ("Registered

               (xi) whether the Warrant Certificates evidencing any Registered
          Warrants or Bearer Warrants of the series will be issued in global
          form ("Global Warrant Certificates") or definitive form ("Definitive
          Warrant Certificates") or both, and whether and on what terms (if
          different from those set forth herein) Warrant Certificates in one
          form may be converted into or exchanged for Warrant Certificates in
          the other form;

               (xii) the place or places at which payment of the cash settlement

          Warrants of the series to be deemed to be automatically exercised;

               (xiv) any warrant agents, depositaries, authenticating or paying
          agents, transfer agents or registrars or any determination or
          calculation agents or other agents with respect to Universal Warrants
          of the series;

               (xv) whether the Universal Warrants of the series will be issued
          separately or together as a unit (a "Unit") with one or more other
          securities of the Company or any other person and, if the Universal
          Warrants of the series are to be issued as components of Units,
          whether and on what terms the Universal Warrants of the series may be
          separated from the other components of such Units prior to the
          Expiration Date of such Universal Warrants; and

               (xvi) any other terms of the Universal Warrants of the series
          (which terms shall not be inconsistent with the provisions of this
          Agreement).

          (c) All Universal Warrants of any one series shall be substantially
identical, except as may otherwise be provided by or pursuant to the Board
Resolution or Officer's Certificate referred to above or as set forth in any
such


                                        5

<PAGE>



agreement supplemental hereto. All Universal Warrants of any one series need not
be issued at the same time and may be issued from time to time, consistent with
the terms of this Agreement, if so provided by or pursuant to such Board
Resolution, such Officer's Certificate or in any such agreement supplemental
hereto.

         SECTION 1.04. Countersignature and Delivery of Warrant Certificates.
(a) The Company may deliver Warrant Certificates evidencing Universal Warrants
of any series executed by the Company to the Warrant Agent for countersignature
together with the applicable documents referred to below in this Section, and
the Warrant Agent shall thereupon countersign and deliver such Warrant
Certificates to or upon the order of the Company (contained in the Issuer Order
(as defined below) referred to below in this Section) or pursuant to such
procedures acceptable to the Warrant Agent as may be specified from time to time
by an Issuer Order. Any terms of the Universal Warrants evidenced by such
Warrant Certificates may be determined by or pursuant to such Issuer Order or
such other procedures. If provided for in such procedures, such Issuer Order may
authorize countersignature and delivery pursuant to oral instructions from the
Company or its duly authorized agent, which instructions shall be promptly
confirmed in writing. In countersigning such Warrant Certificates and accepting
the responsibilities under this Agreement in relation to the Universal Warrants
evidenced by such Warrant Certificates, the Warrant Agent shall be entitled to
receive (in the case of subparagraphs 1.04(a)(ii), 1.04(a)(iii) and 1.04(a)(iv)
below only at or before the time of the first request of the Company to the
Warrant Agent to countersign Warrant Certificates in a particular form
evidencing Universal Warrants) and shall be fully protected in relying upon,
unless and until such documents have been superseded or revoked:

               (i) an Issuer Order requesting such countersignature and setting
          forth delivery instructions if the Warrant Certificates are not to be
          delivered to the Company;

               (ii) any Board Resolution, Officer's Certificate and/or executed
          supplemental agreement pursuant to which the forms and terms of the
          Universal Warrants evidenced by such Warrant Certificates were
          established;

               (iii) an Officer's Certificate setting forth the forms and terms
          of the Universal Warrants evidenced by such Warrant Certificates
          stating that the form or forms and terms of the Universal Warrants
          evidenced by such Warrant Certificates have been established pursuant
          to Sections 1.02 and 1.03 and comply with this Agreement, and covering
          such other matters as the Warrant Agent may reasonably request; and


                                        6

<PAGE>




               (iv) At the option of the Company, either an Opinion of Counsel
          (as defined below) or a letter addressed to the Warrant Agent
          permitting it to rely on an Opinion of Counsel, substantially to the
          effect that:

                    (A) the forms of the Warrant Certificates have been duly
               authorized and established in conformity with the provisions of
               this Agreement;

                    (B) in the case of an underwritten offering, the terms of
               the Universal Warrants have been duly authorized and established
               in conformity with the provisions of this Agreement and, in the
               case of an offering that is not underwritten, certain terms of
               the Universal Warrants have been established pursuant to a Board
               Resolution, an Officer's Certificate or a supplemental agreement
               in accordance with this Agreement, and when such other terms as
               are to be established pursuant to procedures set forth in an
               Issuer Order shall have been established, all terms will have
               been duly authorized by the Company and will have been
               established in conformity with the provisions of this Agreement;
               and

                    (C) when the Warrant Certificates have been executed by the
               Company and countersigned by the Warrant Agent in accordance with
               the provisions of this Agreement and delivered to and duly paid
               for by the purchasers thereof, subject to such other conditions
               as may be set forth in such opinion of counsel, they will have
               been duly issued under this Agreement and the Universal Warrants
               evidenced thereby will be valid and legally binding obligations
               of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their respective
               terms, and will be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement.

         In rendering such opinions, such counsel may qualify any opinions as to
         enforceability by stating that such enforceability may be limited by
         bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, liquidation, moratorium and
         other similar laws affecting the rights and remedies of creditors and
         is subject to general principles of equity (regardless of whether such
         enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). Such
         counsel may rely, as to all matters governed by the laws of
         jurisdictions other than the State of New York and the federal law of
         the United States, upon opinions of other counsel (copies of which
         shall be delivered to the Warrant Agent), who shall be counsel
         reasonably satisfactory to the Warrant Agent, in which case the opinion
         shall state that such counsel believes such counsel and the


                                        7

<PAGE>



         Warrant Agent are entitled so to rely. Such counsel may also state
         that, insofar as such opinion involves factual matters, such counsel
         has relied, to the extent such counsel deems proper, upon certificates
         of officers of the Company and its subsidiaries and certificates of
         public officials.

         "Issuer Order" means a written statement, request or order of the
Company signed in its name by any one of the following: the chairman of the
Board of Directors, the president, a vice chairman of the Board of Directors,
the chief financial officer or the Treasurer or any other person certified by
any of the foregoing officers in an Officers' Certificate to be an executive
officer of the Issuer or authorized by the Board of Directors to execute any
such written statement, request or order. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, if the Universal Warrants of a series are issued as components of
Units, an issuer order or similar order relating to the Universal Warrants
delivered pursuant to an indenture or unit or similar agreement governing such
Units or one or more other components thereof may also constitute an Issuer
Order under this Agreement if addressed to the Warrant Agent.

         "Opinion of Counsel" means an opinion in writing signed by such legal
counsel, who may be an employee of or counsel to the Company, as shall be
satisfactory to the Warrant Agent.

          (b) The Warrant Agent shall have the right to decline to countersign
and deliver any Warrant Certificates under this Section if the Warrant Agent,
being advised by counsel, determines that such action may not lawfully be taken
by the Company or if the Warrant Agent in good faith determines that (i) such
action would expose the Warrant Agent to personal liability to existing
registered or beneficial holders of Universal Warrants (each, a "Warrantholder")
or would affect the Warrant Agent's own rights, duties or immunities under the
Warrant Certificates, the Universal Warrants, this Agreement or otherwise or
(ii) the terms of such Universal Warrants are administratively unacceptable to
it.

          (c) If the Company shall establish pursuant to Section 1.03 that the
Universal Warrants of a series are to be evidenced in whole or in part by one or
more Global Warrant Certificates, then the Company shall execute and the Warrant
Agent shall, in accordance with this Section and the Issuer Order with respect
to such series, countersign and deliver one or more Global Warrant Certificates
that (i) shall evidence all or part of the Universal Warrants of such series
issued in such form and not yet canceled, (ii) shall be registered in the name
of the Depositary (as defined below) for such Universal Warrants or the nominee
of such Depositary, (iii) shall be delivered by the Warrant Agent to such
Depositary or pursuant to such Depositary's instructions and (iv) shall bear a
legend substantially to the following effect: "Unless and until it is exchanged
in


                                        8

<PAGE>



whole or in part for Universal Warrants in definitive registered form, this
Warrant Certificate and the Universal Warrants evidenced hereby may not be
transferred except as a whole by the Depositary to the nominee of the Depositary
or by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the
Depositary or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or
a nominee of such successor Depositary."

         "Depositary" means, with respect to the Universal Warrants of any
series that are or may be evidenced by one or more Global Warrant Certificates,
the person or persons designated as Depositary by the Company pursuant to
Section 1.03 hereof until a successor Depositary shall have become such pursuant
to the applicable provisions of this Agreement, and thereafter "Depositary"
shall mean or include each person who is then a Depositary hereunder, and if at
any time there is more than one such person, "Depositary" as used with respect
to the Universal Warrants of any such series shall mean the Depositary with
respect to that series.

          (d) If so required by applicable law, each Depositary for a series of
Universal Warrants must, at the time of its designation and at all times while
it serves as Depositary, be a clearing agency registered under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 and any other applicable statute or regulation.

          (e) Each Warrant Certificate shall be dated the date of its
countersignature. A Warrant Certificate shall not be valid for any purpose, and
no Universal Warrant evidenced thereby shall be exercisable, unless and until
such Warrant Certificate has been countersigned by the manual signature of an
authorized officer of the Warrant Agent. Such countersignature by an authorized
officer of the Warrant Agent upon any Warrant Certificate executed by the
Company in accordance with this Agreement shall be conclusive evidence that the
Warrant Certificate so countersigned and the Universal Warrants evidenced
thereby have been duly issued hereunder.

         SECTION 1.05. Place of Exercise; Registration of Transfers and
Exchanges. (a) Except as otherwise established pursuant to Section 1.03 with
respect to Universal Warrants of a series, Universal Warrants may be presented
for exercise at the Warrant Agent's Window (as defined below) in accordance with
procedures to be established pursuant to Section 1.03.

          (b) Except as otherwise provided herein or as established pursuant to
Section 1.03 with respect to the Universal Warrants of a series, the Warrant
Agent shall from time to time register the transfer of any outstanding
Registered Definitive Warrant Certificates upon the records to be maintained by
it for that purpose (the "Warrant Register") at the Warrant Agent's Office (as
defined


                                        9

<PAGE>



below), subject to such reasonable regulations as the Company or the Warrant
Agent may prescribe with respect to the Universal Warrants of such series, upon
surrender thereof at the Warrant Agent's Window (as defined below), Attention:
[Transfer Department], duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument
or instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Warrant Agent and the
Company duly executed by, the Registered Holder(s) (as defined below) thereof or
by the duly appointed legal representative thereof or by a duly authorized
attorney, such signature to be guaranteed by a bank or trust company with a
correspondent office in The City of New York or by a broker or dealer that is a
member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (the "NASD") or
by a member of a national securities exchange or in such other manner acceptable
to the Warrant Agent and the Company. Upon any such registration of transfer,
one or more new Warrant Certificates of the same series and like terms
evidencing a like number of unexercised Universal Warrants shall be issued to
the transferee(s) and the surrendered Warrant Certificate shall be cancelled by
the Warrant Agent.

          (c) Except as otherwise established for a series of Universal Warrants
pursuant to Section 1.03, at the option of a Registered Holder, Definitive
Warrant Certificates may be exchanged for other Definitive Warrant Certificates
evidencing the same aggregate number of unexercised Universal Warrants of the
same series and of like tenor upon surrender to the Warrant Agent of the
Definitive Warrant Certificates to be exchanged at the Warrant Agent's Window,
Attention: [Transfer Department]. The "Warrant Agent's Window" shall be the
window of the Warrant Agent maintained for purposes of transfer and tender in
the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York (or at the address of any
additional agency established by the Company pursuant to Section 1.08 hereof, or
at the address of any successor Warrant Agent (as provided in Section 5.03)),
which is, on the date of this Agreement, [_____________________]. If the
Universal Warrants of any series are issued in both registered and unregistered
form, except as otherwise established for such series pursuant to Section 1.03,
at the option of the holder thereof, Warrant Certificates evidencing Bearer
Warrants of any series may be exchanged for Definitive Warrant Certificates
evidencing an equal number of unexercised Registered Warrants of the same series
and of like tenor upon surrender of such Warrant Certificates evidencing Bearer
Warrants to be exchanged at the Warrant Agent's Window, Attention: [Transfer
Department]. Unless otherwise established for such series pursuant to Section
1.03, Registered Warrants of any series may not be exchanged for Bearer Warrants
of such series. Upon surrender of any unexercised Warrant Certificate for
exchange, the Warrant Agent shall cancel such Warrant Certificate, and the
Company shall execute, and the Warrant Agent shall countersign and deliver, one
or more new Warrant Certificates evidencing a like number of unexercised
Universal Warrants of the same series and of like tenor.


                                       10

<PAGE>



          (d) Universal Warrants evidenced by the Warrant Certificates issued
upon transfer or exchange pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section shall
be valid obligations of the Company, constituting the same obligations of the
Company as the Universal Warrants evidenced by the Warrant Certificates
surrendered for transfer or exchange, and entitled to the same benefits under
this Agreement as were such Universal Warrants evidenced by the Warrant
Certificates prior to such surrender.

          (e) Except as provided in Section 1.06, no service charge shall be
made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Warrant Certificates, 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 Warrant Certificates, other than exchanges pursuant to
this Section not involving any transfer.

          (f) In the event that upon any exercise of Universal Warrants
evidenced by a Warrant Certificate the number of Universal Warrants exercised
shall be less than the total number of Universal Warrants evidenced by such
Warrant Certificate, there shall be issued to the Registered Holder thereof (or,
in the case of Bearer Warrants, the holder thereof) or his assignee a new
Warrant Certificate evidencing the number of Universal Warrants of the same
series and of like tenor not exercised.

          (g)   Warrant Certificates evidencing Bearer Warrants shall be
transferable by delivery.

          (h) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, unless and
until it is exchanged in whole or in part for Definitive Warrant Certificates, a
Global Warrant Certificate evidencing all or a portion of the Universal Warrants
of a series may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary for such
series to a nominee of such Depositary or by a nominee of such Depositary to
such Depositary or another nominee of such Depositary or by such Depositary or
any such nominee to a successor Depositary for such series or a nominee of such
successor Depositary.

          (i) If at any time the Depositary for any series of Universal Warrants
notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary
for such series or if at any time the Depositary for such series shall no longer
be eligible under this Agreement, the Company shall appoint a successor
Depositary with respect to such series. If a successor Depositary for such
series is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after the Company receives
such notice or becomes aware of such ineligibility, the Company's election
pursuant to Section 1.03 that such series be evidenced by one or more Global
Warrant


                                       11

<PAGE>



Certificates shall no longer be effective and the Company will execute, and the
Warrant Agent, upon receipt of an Officer's Certificate for the countersignature
and delivery of Definitive Warrant Certificates evidencing Universal Warrants of
such series, will countersign and deliver Definitive Warrant Certificates
evidencing Universal Warrants of such series and of like tenor in an aggregate
number equal to the number of the unexercised Universal Warrants represented by
such Global Warrant Certificate or Certificates in exchange for such Global
Warrant Certificate or Certificates.

          (j) If established pursuant to Section 1.03 with respect to a series
of Universal Warrants evidenced in whole or in part by one or more Global
Warrant Certificates, the Depositary for such series may surrender such Global
Warrant Certificate or Certificates in exchange in whole or in part for
Definitive Warrant Certificates evidencing Universal Warrants of the same series
and of like tenor on such terms as are acceptable to the Company and such
Depositary. Thereupon, the Company shall execute, and the Warrant Agent shall
countersign and deliver, without service charge,

               (i) to the person specified by such Depositary a new Definitive
          Warrant Certificate of the same series and of like tenor in an
          aggregate number equal to and in exchange for such person's beneficial
          interest in the Universal Warrants evidenced by such Global Warrant
          Certificate or Certificates; and

               (ii) to such Depositary a new Global Warrant Certificate or
          Certificates evidencing Universal Warrants of the same series and of
          like tenor in number equal to the difference, if any, between the
          number of unexercised Universal Warrants evidenced by the surrendered
          Global Warrant Certificates and the number of unexercised Universal
          Warrants evidenced by such Definitive Warrant Certificate
          countersigned and delivered pursuant to clause 1.05(j)(i) above.

Upon the exchange of a Global Warrant Certificate for Definitive Warrant
Certificates, such Global Warrant Certificate shall be canceled by the Warrant
Agent or an agent of the Company or the Warrant Agent. Registered Definitive
Warrant Certificates issued in exchange for a Registered Global Warrant
Certificate pursuant to this Section shall be registered in such names and in
such authorized denominations as the Depositary for such series, pursuant to
instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall
instruct the Warrant Agent or an agent of the Company or the Warrant Agent. The
Warrant Agent or such agent shall deliver such Warrant Certificates to or as
directed by the persons in whose names such Warrant Certificates are so
registered. Definitive Bearer Warrant Certificates issued in exchange for a
Global Bearer Warrant


                                       12

<PAGE>



Certificate pursuant to this Section shall be issued in such authorized
denominations as the Depositary for such series, pursuant to instructions from
its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Warrant
Agent or an agent of the Company or the Warrant Agent. The Warrant Agent or such
agent shall deliver such Warrant Certificates to or as directed by the
Depositary for such series.

          (k) Notwithstanding anything herein or in the terms of any series of
Universal Warrants to the contrary, none of the Company, the Warrant Agent or
any agent of the Company or the Warrant Agent (any of which, other than the
Company, shall rely on an Officer's Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel) shall
be required to exchange any Bearer Warrant for a Registered Warrant if such
exchange would result in adverse Federal income tax consequences to the Company
under then applicable United States Federal income tax laws.

          (l) The Company will maintain one or more offices or agencies in a
city or cities located outside the United States (including any city in which
such an agency is required to be maintained under the rules of any stock
exchange on which the Universal Warrants of such series are listed) where the
Bearer Warrants, if any, of each series may be presented for exercise and
payment. No payment on any Bearer Warrants will be made upon presentation of
such Bearer Warrant at an agency of the Company within the United States nor
will any payment be made by transfer to an account in, or by mail to an address
in, the United States unless pursuant to applicable United States laws and
regulations then in effect such payment can be made without adverse tax
consequences to the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, payments in United
States dollars with respect to Bearer Warrants of any series which are payable
in United States dollars may be made at an agency of the Company maintained in
the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York if such payment in United States
dollars at each agency maintained by the Company outside the United States for
payment on such Bearer Warrants is illegal or effectively precluded by exchange
controls or other similar restrictions.

          (m) The Company may from time to time designate one or more additional
offices or agencies where the Universal Warrants of a series may be presented
for exercise and payment, where the Universal Warrants of that series may be
presented for exchange as provided in this Agreement and where the Registered
Universal Warrants of that series may be presented for registration of transfer
as in this Agreement provided, and the Company may from time to time rescind any
such designation, as the Company may deem desirable or expedient; provided,
however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the
Company of its obligation to maintain the agencies provided for in this


                                       13

<PAGE>



Section.  The Company will give to the Warrant Agent prompt written notice of
any such designation or rescission thereof.

         SECTION 1.06. Mutilated or Missing Warrant Certificates. (a) If any
Warrant Certificate evidencing Universal Warrants of any series is mutilated,
lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company may in its discretion execute, and the
Warrant Agent may countersign and deliver, in exchange and substitution for the
mutilated Warrant Certificate, or in replacement for the Warrant Certificate
lost, stolen or destroyed, a new Warrant Certificate representing an equivalent
number of unexercised Universal Warrants of the same series and of like tenor,
bearing an identification number, if applicable, not contemporaneously
outstanding, but only (in case of loss, theft or destruction) upon receipt of
evidence satisfactory to the Company and the Warrant Agent of such loss, theft
or destruction of such Warrant Certificate and security or indemnity, if
requested, also satisfactory to them. Applicants for such substitute Warrant
Certificates shall also comply with such other reasonable regulations and pay
such other reasonable charges as the Company or the Warrant Agent may prescribe.

          (b) In case the Universal Warrants evidenced by any such mutilated,
lost, stolen or destroyed Warrant Certificate have been or are about to be
exercised, or deemed to be exercised, the Company in its absolute discretion
may, instead of issuing a new Warrant Certificate, and subject to the conditions
set forth in clause 1.06(a) above, direct the Warrant Agent to treat the same as
if it had received the Warrant Certificate together with an irrevocable exercise
notice in proper form in respect thereof, as established with respect to the
Universal Warrants of such series.

          (c) The Universal Warrants evidenced by each new Warrant Certificate
issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any lost, stolen or destroyed Warrant
Certificate shall be original, additional contractual obligations of the
Company, and shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement as the
Universal Warrants evidenced by the Warrant Certificate that was lost, stolen or
destroyed.

          (d) Upon the issuance of any new Warrant Certificate in accordance
with this Section, 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 Warrant
Agent) connected therewith.

          (e) The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude
(to the extent lawful) any other rights and remedies with respect to the
replacement or payment of mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed Warrant
Certificates.

         SECTION 1.07. Registered Holders. (a) Prior to due presentment for
registration of transfer, the Company, the Warrant Agent, and any agent of the
Company or the Warrant Agent may deem and treat the person in whose name a
Warrant Certificate shall be registered in the Warrant Register (a "Registered
Holder") as the absolute owner of the Registered Warrants evidenced thereby
(notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing on the Warrant
Certificate) for any purpose whatsoever, and as the person entitled to exercise
the rights represented by the Registered Warrants evidenced thereby, and neither
the Company nor the Warrant Agent, nor any agent of the Company or the Warrant
Agent, shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. All payments on account
of any Registered Warrant to the Registered Holder, or upon his order, shall be
valid, and to the extent of the sum or sums so paid, effectual to satisfy and
discharge the liability of the Company for moneys paid upon such Registered
Warrant. This Section shall be without prejudice to the rights of Warrantholders
as described elsewhere herein.

          (b) The Company, the Warrant Agent and any agent of the Company or the
Warrant Agent may treat the holder of any Bearer Warrant as the absolute owner
of such Bearer Warrant for the purpose of exercising the rights represented
thereby and for all other purposes and neither the Company, the Warrant Agent,
nor any agent of the Company or the Warrant Agent shall be affected by any
notice to the contrary. All payments on account of such Bearer Warrant made to
any such person, or upon his order, shall be valid, and, to the extent of the
sum or sums so paid, effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability for moneys
payable upon such Bearer Warrant. This Section shall be without prejudice to the
rights of Warrantholders as described elsewhere herein.

         SECTION 1.08. Cancellation. All Universal Warrant Certificates
surrendered to the Warrant Agent for redemption or registration of transfer or
exchange shall be promptly cancelled by the Warrant Agent. The Company may at
any time deliver to the Warrant Agent for cancellation any Universal Warrant
Certificates previously countersigned and delivered hereunder which the Company
may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Universal Warrant
Certificates so delivered shall, upon receipt by the Warrant Agent of an Issuer
Order, be promptly cancelled by the Warrant Agent. No Universal Warrant
Certificates shall be countersigned in lieu of or in exchange for any Universal
Warrant Certificates cancelled as provided in this Section, except as permitted
by this Agreement. All cancelled Universal Warrant Certificates held by the
Warrant Agent shall be disposed of in accordance with its customary procedures
and a certificate of their disposition shall be delivered by the Warrant Agent
to the Company, unless by Issuer Order the Company shall direct that cancelled
Universal Warrant Certificates be returned to it.


                                       15

<PAGE>



         If the Company or any affiliate of the Company shall acquire any
Universal Warrant Certificate, such acquisition shall not operate as a
cancellation of such Universal Warrant Certificate unless and until such
Universal Warrant Certificate is delivered to the Warrant Agent for the purpose
of cancellation.

         SECTION 1.09. Additional Warrant Agents. Whenever the Company shall
appoint a warrant agent other than the Warrant Agent with respect to the
Universal Warrants of any series, it will cause such warrant agent to execute
and deliver to the Warrant Agent an instrument in which such agent shall agree
with the Warrant Agent, subject to the provisions of this Section,

          (a) that it will hold all Warrant Property received by it as such
agent for any payment with respect to the Universal Warrants of such series in
trust for the benefit of the Warrantholders of such series if any, or of the
Warrant Agent, and

          (b) that it will give the Warrant Agent notice of any failure by the
Company to make any payment with respect to the Universal Warrants of such
series when the same shall be due and payable.

         The Company will, on or prior to each date of any payment of Universal
Warrants of any such series, deposit with the Warrant Agent or any such
additional warrant agent a sum sufficient to make such payment, and the Company
will promptly notify the Warrant Agent of any failure to take such action with
respect to any such additional warrant agent.

         SECTION 1.10. Appointment of Calculation Agents. Pursuant to Section
1.03 hereof, the Company may, in connection with any series of Universal
Warrants appoint [_____________________] or any other person or entity as
Calculation Agent to make any calculations as may be required pursuant to the
terms of any such series of Universal Warrants. Any such Calculation Agent shall
act as an independent expert and, unless otherwise provided by this Agreement,
its calculations and determinations under this Agreement shall, absent manifest
error, be final and binding on the Company, the Warrant Agent and the
Warrantholders. Any such calculations will be made available to a Warrantholder
for inspection at the Warrant Agent's Office.

with respect to duration and exercise of Universal Warrants will be established
pursuant to Section 1.03 for each series of Universal Warrants.

         SECTION 2.02. Return of Money Held Unclaimed for Two Years. Except as
otherwise provided herein, any money or other assets deposited with or paid to
the Warrant Agent for the payment of any Universal Warrants and not paid but
remaining unclaimed for two years after the date upon which such money or other
assets shall have become due and payable shall be repaid by the Warrant Agent to
the Company, at the Company's request pursuant to an Officer's Certificate, and
the holders of such Universal Warrants shall thereafter look only to the Company
for any payment which such holders may be entitled to collect and all liability
of the Warrant Agent with respect to such money shall thereupon cease; provided
that the Warrant Agent, before making any such repayment, may (but shall not be
obligated to) at the expense of the Company notify (i) in the case of Registered
Warrants evidenced by Definitive Warrant Certificates, the Registered Holders,
(ii) in the case of Warrants evidenced by one or more Global Warrant
Certificates, the participants of the Depositary, and (iii) in the case of
Bearer Warrants evidenced by Definitive Warrant Certificates, the holders
thereof, in each case as provided in Section 6.04, that said money has not been
so applied and remains unclaimed and that after a date named in the notification
any unclaimed balance of said money then remaining will be returned to the
Company.

              OTHER PROVISIONS RELATING TO RIGHTS OF WARRANTHOLDERS

         SECTION 3.01. Warrantholder May Enforce Rights. Notwithstanding any of
the provisions of this Agreement, any Warrantholder may, without the consent of
the Warrant Agent, the Depositary, any participant of the Depositary, any other
Warrantholder, the holder of any Warrant Property or, if applicable, the common
depositary for Euroclear Bank, as operator of the Euroclear System and
Clearstream Banking, societe anonyme, or its successor, in and for its own
behalf, enforce, and may institute and maintain, any suit, action or proceeding
against the Company suitable to enforce, or otherwise in respect of, its right
to exercise its Universal Warrants as provided in this Agreement and established
with respect to such Universal Warrants pursuant to Section 1.03.


                                       17

<PAGE>



         SECTION 3.02. No Rights as Holder of Warrant Property Conferred by
Universal Warrants or Warrant Certificates. No Warrant Certificate or Universal
Warrant evidenced thereby shall entitle the holder or any beneficial owner
thereof to any of the rights of a holder or beneficial owner of Warrant
Property, including, without limitation, the right to receive the payment of
principal of (premium, if any) or interest, if any, on Warrant Property or to
vote or to enforce any rights under any documents governing Warrant Property.

         SECTION 3.03. Merger, Consolidation, Conveyance or Transfer. (a) If at
any time the Company merges or consolidates with any other person or sells or
conveys all or substantially all of its assets to any other person, then in any
such event the successor, if other than the Company, shall by an instrument of
assumption delivered to the Warrant Agent succeed to and be substituted for the
Company, with the same effect as if it had been named herein and in the Warrant
Certificates as the Company. The Company shall thereupon, except in the case of
a transfer by way of lease, be relieved of any further obligation hereunder and
under the Universal Warrants and the Warrant Certificates, and the Company, as
the predecessor corporation, except in the case of a transfer by way of lease,
may thereupon or at any time thereafter be dissolved, wound up or liquidated.
Such successor and assuming corporation may thereupon cause to be signed, and
may issue either in its own name or in the name of the Company, Warrant
Certificates evidencing any or all of the Universal Warrants issuable hereunder
that theretofore shall not have been signed by the Company. All the Universal
Warrants so issued shall in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit
under this Agreement as the Universal Warrants theretofore or thereafter issued
in accordance with the terms of this Agreement as though all of such Universal
Warrants had been issued at the date of the execution hereof. In any case of any
such merger, consolidation, conveyance or transfer, such changes in phraseology
and form (but not in substance) may be made in the Warrant Certificates
representing the Universal Warrants thereafter to be issued as may be
appropriate.

          (b) The Warrant Agent may receive an Opinion of Counsel as conclusive
evidence that any such merger, consolidation, conveyance, transfer or assumption
complies with the provisions of this Section.

          UNIVERSAL WARRANTS ACQUIRED BY THE COMPANY; PAYMENT OF TAXES

         SECTION 4.01. Universal Warrants Acquired by the Company. (a) In the
event the Company shall purchase or otherwise acquire Universal Warrants, such
Universal Warrants may, at the option of the Company, be (i) in the case of
Bearer Warrants or Registered Warrants evidenced by Definitive Warrant
Certificates, delivered to the Warrant Agent, and if so delivered, the Warrant
Agent shall promptly cancel such Universal Warrants on the records of the
Warrant Agent or (ii) in the case of Warrants evidenced by one or more Global
Warrant Certificates, surrendered free through a participant of the Depositary
to the Depositary for credit to the account of the Warrant Agent maintained at
the Depositary, and if so credited, the Warrant Agent shall promptly note the
cancellation of such Universal Warrants by notation on the records of the
Warrant Agent and the Warrant Agent shall cause its records to be marked to
reflect the reduction in the number of Universal Warrants evidenced by the
Global Warrant Certificate or Certificates by the number of Universal Warrants
so canceled promptly after such account is credited. Universal Warrants acquired
by the Company may also, at the option of the Company, be resold by the Company
directly or to or through any of its affiliates in lieu of being surrendered to
the Warrant Agent or credited to its account. No Warrant Certificate shall be
countersigned in lieu of or in exchange for any Universal Warrant that is
canceled as provided herein, except as otherwise expressly permitted by this
Agreement.

this Agreement shall be disposed of by the Warrant Agent in accordance with its
customary procedures unless otherwise directed by the Company, and the Warrant
Agent shall deliver a certificate of disposition to the Company evidencing the
same.

         SECTION 4.02. Payment of Taxes. The Company will pay all stamp,
withholding and other duties, if any, attributable to the initial issuance of
each series or tranche of Universal Warrants; provided, however, that, anything
in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall not be
required to pay any tax or other governmental charge that may be payable in
respect of any transfer involving any beneficial or record interest in, or
ownership interest of, any Universal Warrants or Warrant Certificates.

Universal Warrants upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth
herein; and [_____________________] hereby accepts such appointment. The Warrant

authority contained in any Warrant Certificate are subject to and governed by
the terms and provisions hereof.

         SECTION 5.02. Condition of Warrant Agent's Obligations. The Warrant
Agent accepts its obligations herein set forth upon the terms and conditions
hereof, including the following, to all of which the Company agrees and to all
of which the rights hereunder of the holders from time to time of the Universal
Warrants shall be subject:

          (a) The Company agrees promptly to pay the Warrant Agent the
compensation to be agreed upon with the Company for all services rendered by the
Warrant Agent and to reimburse the Warrant Agent for its reasonable out-of-
pocket expenses (including attorneys' fees and expenses) incurred by the Warrant
Agent without negligence or bad faith on its part in connection with the
services rendered by it hereunder. The Company also agrees to indemnify the
Warrant Agent for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or
expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) incurred without
negligence or bad faith on the part of the Warrant Agent, arising out of or in
connection with its acting as such Warrant Agent hereunder, as well as the
reasonable costs and expenses of defending against any claim of liability in the
premises. The obligations of the Company under this Section shall survive the
expiration of all Universal Warrants issued under this Agreement.

          (b) In acting under this Agreement, the Warrant Agent is acting solely
as agent of the Company and does not assume any obligation or relationship of
agency or trust for or with any Warrantholders.

          (c) The Warrant Agent may consult with counsel satisfactory to it
(including counsel to the Company), and the opinion of such counsel 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
opinion of such counsel.


                                       20

<PAGE>


          (d) The Warrant Agent shall be protected and shall incur no liability
for or in respect of any action taken or thing suffered by it in reliance upon
any notice, direction, consent, certificate, affidavit, opinion, statement or
other paper or document reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been
presented or signed by the proper parties.

          (e) The Warrant Agent and its officers, directors and employees may
become the owner of, or acquire any interest in, any Universal Warrants or other
obligations of the Company, with the same rights that it or they would have if
it were not the Warrant Agent hereunder and, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, it or they may engage or be interested in any financial or other
transaction with the Company and may act on behalf of, or as depositary, trustee
or agent for, any committee or body of owners or holders of Universal Warrants
or other obligations of the Company as freely as if it were not the Warrant
Agent hereunder.

          (f) The Warrant Agent shall not be under any liability for interest on
any monies at any time received by it pursuant to any of the provisions of this
Agreement nor shall it be obligated to segregate such monies from other monies
held by it, except as required by law. The Warrant Agent shall not be
responsible for advancing funds on behalf of the Company.

          (g) The Warrant Agent shall not be under any responsibility with
respect to the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement or the execution and
delivery hereof (except the due authorization, execution and delivery hereof by
the Warrant Agent) or with respect to the validity or execution of the Warrant
Certificates (except its countersignature thereof).

          (h) The recitals contained herein and in the Warrant Certificates
(except as to the Warrant Agent's countersignature thereon) shall be taken as
the statements of the Company, and the Warrant Agent assumes no responsibility
for the correctness of the same.

          (i) The Warrant Agent shall be obligated to perform such duties as are
specifically set forth in this Agreement and no implied duties or obligations
shall be read into this Agreement against the Warrant Agent. The Warrant Agent
shall not be under any obligation to take any action hereunder likely to involve
it in any expense or liability, the payment of which is not, in its reasonable
opinion, assured to it. The Warrant Agent shall not be accountable or under any
duty or responsibility for the application by the Company of any proceeds of the
issuance of any Warrants. The Warrant Agent shall have no duty or responsibility
in case of any default by the Company in the performance of its covenants or
agreements


                                       21

<PAGE>



contained in this Agreement or in any Warrant Certificate or in the case of the
receipt of any written demand from a holder of a Universal Warrant with respect
to such default, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
any duty or responsibility to initiate or attempt to initiate any proceedings at
law or otherwise or, except as provided in Section 6.02, to make any demand upon
the Company.

         SECTION 5.03. Resignation and Appointment of Successor. (a) The Company
agrees, for the benefit of the holders from time to time of the Universal
Warrants, that there shall at all times be a Warrant Agent hereunder with
respect to each series of Universal Warrants until all the Universal Warrants of
such series are no longer outstanding or until monies for the payment of all
outstanding Universal Warrants of such series, if any, shall have been paid to
the Warrant Agent and shall have been returned to the Company as provided in
Section 2.02, whichever occurs earlier.

          (b) The Warrant Agent may at any time resign as such agent with
respect to any series of Universal Warrants by giving written notice to the
Company of such intention on its part, specifying the date on which its desired
resignation shall become effective, subject to the appointment of a successor
Warrant Agent with respect to such series and acceptance of such appointment by
such successor Warrant Agent as hereinafter provided. The Warrant Agent
hereunder may be removed with respect to any series of Universal Warrants at any
time by the filing with it of an instrument in writing signed by or on behalf of
the Company and specifying such removal and the date when it shall become
effective. Such resignation or removal shall take effect upon the appointment by
the Company, as hereinafter provided, of a successor Warrant Agent with respect
to such series (which shall be a banking institution organized under the laws of
the United States of America or one of the states thereof, have a combined
capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 (as set forth in its most recent
reports of condition published pursuant to law or to the requirements of any
United States federal or state regulatory or supervisory authority) and having
an office in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York) and the acceptance
of such appointment by such successor Warrant Agent. In the event a successor
Warrant Agent has not been appointed and accepted its duties within 90 days of
the Warrant Agent's notice of resignation, the Warrant Agent may apply to any
court of competent jurisdiction for the designation of a successor Warrant Agent
with respect to such series. The obligation of the Company under Section 5.02(a)
shall continue to the extent set forth therein notwithstanding the resignation
or removal of the Warrant Agent with respect to any series of Universal
Warrants.

          (c) In case at any time the Warrant Agent with respect to any series
of Universal Warrants shall give notice of its intent to resign, or shall be
removed, or


                                       22

<PAGE>



shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or
make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or consent to the
appointment of a receiver or custodian of all or any substantial part of its
property, or shall admit in writing its inability to pay or meet its debts as
they mature, or if a receiver or custodian of it or of all or any substantial
part of its property shall be appointed, or if any public officer shall have
taken charge or control of the Warrant Agent or of its property or affairs, for
the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, a successor Warrant
Agent, qualified as aforesaid, shall be promptly appointed by the Company by an
instrument in writing, filed with the successor Warrant Agent. Upon the
appointment as aforesaid of a successor Warrant Agent and acceptance by the
latter of such appointment, the Warrant Agent so superseded shall cease to be
Warrant Agent hereunder with respect to such series.

          (d) Any successor Warrant Agent appointed hereunder with respect to
any series of Universal Warrants shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to its
predecessor and to the Company an instrument accepting such appointment
hereunder, and thereupon such successor Warrant Agent, without any further act,
deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the authority, rights, powers,
trusts, immunities, duties and obligations of such predecessor with like effect
as if originally named as Warrant Agent with respect to such series hereunder,
and such predecessor, upon payment of its charges and disbursements then unpaid,
shall thereupon become obligated to transfer, deliver and pay over, and such
successor Warrant Agent shall be entitled to receive, all monies, securities and
other property on deposit with or held by such predecessor (including, without
limitation, the Warrant Register), as Warrant Agent with respect to such series
hereunder.

          (e) If a successor Warrant Agent is appointed with respect to the
Universal Warrants of one or more (but not all) series, the Company, the
predecessor Warrant Agent and each successor Warrant Agent with respect to the
Universal Warrants of any applicable series shall execute and deliver an
agreement supplemental hereto that shall contain such provisions as shall be
deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers and duties
of the predecessor Warrant Agent with respect to the Universal Warrants of any
series as to which the predecessor Warrant Agent is not retiring shall continue
to be vested in the predecessor Warrant Agent, and shall add to or change any of
the provisions of this Agreement as shall be necessary to provide for or
facilitate the administration of the Universal Warrants hereunder by more than
one Warrant Agent, it being understood that nothing herein or in such
supplemental agreement shall constitute such Warrant Agents Co-Warrant Agents of
the same Universal Warrants and that each such Warrant Agent shall be a Warrant
Agent with respect to separate series of Universal Warrants.


                                       23

          (f) Any corporation into which the Warrant Agent hereunder may be
merged or converted or any corporation with which the Warrant Agent may be
consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or
consolidation to which the Warrant Agent shall be a party or any corporation to
which the Warrant Agent shall sell or otherwise transfer all or substantially
all the corporate agency assets and business of the Warrant Agent, provided that
it shall be qualified as aforesaid, shall be the successor Warrant Agent under
this Agreement without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act
on the part of any of the parties hereto.



                                    ARTICLE 6
                                  MISCELLANEOUS

         SECTION 6.01. Amendment. (a) This Agreement and the terms of the
Universal Warrants of any series may be amended (by means of an agreement
supplemental hereto or otherwise) by the Company and the Warrant Agent, without
the consent of the Warrantholders of any series of Universal Warrants, (i) for
the purpose of curing any ambiguity, or of curing, correcting or supplementing
any defective or inconsistent provision contained herein or therein, (ii) to
establish the form or terms of Warrant Certificates or Universal Warrants of any
series as permitted by Sections 1.02 and 1.03, (iii) to evidence and provide for
the acceptance of appointment hereunder by a successor Warrant Agent with
respect to the Universal Warrants of any series and to add to or change any of
the provisions of this Agreement as shall be necessary to provide for or
facilitate the administration of the Universal Warrants hereunder by more than
one Warrant Agent pursuant to Section 5.03, or (iv) in any other manner which
the Company may deem necessary or desirable and which will not materially and
adversely affect the interests of the Warrantholders of such series.

          (b) The Company and the Warrant Agent may modify or amend this
Agreement (by means of an agreement supplemental hereto or otherwise) with the
consent of Warrantholders holding not less than a majority in number of the then
outstanding Universal Warrants of all series affected by such modification or
amendment, for any purpose; provided, however, that no such modification or
amendment that changes the exercise price of the Universal Warrants of any
series, reduces the amount receivable upon exercise, cancellation or expiration
of the Universal Warrants other than in accordance with the antidilution
provisions or other similar adjustment provisions included in the terms of the
Universal Warrants, shortens the period of time during which the Universal
Warrants of such series may be exercised, or otherwise materially and adversely
affects the


                                       24

<PAGE>



exercise rights of the affected Warrantholders or reduces the percentage of the
number of outstanding Universal Warrants of such series, the consent of whose
holders is required for modification or amendment of this Agreement, may be made
without the consent of each Warrantholder affected thereby. In the case of
Universal Warrants evidenced by one or more Global Warrant Certificates, the
Company and the Warrant Agent shall be entitled to rely upon certification in
form satisfactory to each of them that any requisite consent has been obtained
from holders of beneficial ownership interests in the relevant Global Warrant
Certificate. Such certification may be provided by participants of the
Depositary acting on behalf of such beneficial owners of Universal Warrants,
provided that any such certification is accompanied by a certification from the
Depositary as to the Universal Warrant holdings of such participants.

          (c) An amendment that changes or eliminates any provision of this
Agreement that has expressly been included solely for the benefit of one or more
particular series of Universal Warrants, or that modifies the rights of
Warrantholders of such series with respect to such provision, shall be deemed
not to affect the rights under this Agreement of the Warrantholders of any other
series.

          (d) Upon the request of the Company, accompanied by a copy of a Board
Resolution (which Board Resolution may provide general terms or parameters for
such action and may provide that the specific terms of such action may be
determined in accordance with or pursuant to an Issuer Order) authorizing the
execution of any such amendment, and upon the filing with the Warrant Agent of
evidence of the consent of Warrantholders as aforesaid, the Warrant Agent shall
join with the Company in the execution of such amendment unless such amendment
affects the Warrant Agent's own rights, duties or immunities under this
Agreement or otherwise, in which case the Warrant Agent may in its discretion,
but shall not be obligated to, enter into such amendment. In executing, or
accepting the additional duties created by, any amendment permitted by this
Article, the Warrant Agent shall be entitled to receive, and shall be fully
protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of
such amendment is authorized or permitted by this Agreement. The fact and date
of the execution of any consent of Warrantholders, or the authority of the
Person executing the same, may be proved in any manner which the Warrant Agent
(with the approval of the Company) deems sufficient.

          (e) It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Warrantholders
under this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but
it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof.

         SECTION 6.02.  Notices and Demands to the Company and the Warrant
Agent.  If the Warrant Agent shall receive any notice or demand addressed to the


                                       25

<PAGE>



Company by any Warrantholder pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement or the
terms of the Universal Warrants of any series, the Warrant Agent shall promptly
forward such notice or demand to the Company.

         SECTION 6.03.  Addresses for Notices.  Any communications to the
Warrant Agent with respect to this Agreement shall be in writing addressed to
[_____________________], Attention: [______________] (the "Warrant
Agent's Office") and any communications to the Company with respect to this
Agreement shall be addressed to J.P. Morgan Chase & Co., 270 Park Avenue,
New York, New York 10017-2070, Attention: [___________] (or in each case to
such other address as shall be given in writing to the other party hereto).

         SECTION 6.04. Notices to Warrantholders. The Company may cause to have
notice given to the Warrantholders of any series by providing the Warrant Agent
with a form of notice to be distributed by (i) in the case of Registered
Warrants evidenced by Definitive Warrant Certificates, the Warrant Agent to
Registered Holders by first class mail, (ii) in the case of Warrants evidenced
by one or more Global Warrant Certificates, the Depositary to be distributed by
the Depositary to its participants in accordance with the custom and practices
of the Depositary or (iii) in the case of Bearer Warrants evidenced by
Definitive Warrant Certificates, publication at least once in an Authorized
Newspaper (as defined below) in The City of New York, and Western Europe.

         "Authorized Newspaper" means a newspaper (which, in the case of The
City of New York, will, if practicable, be The Wall Street Journal (Eastern
Edition) and, in the case of Western Europe, will, if practicable, be the
Financial Times (London Edition)) published in an official language of the
country of publication customarily published at least once a day for at least
five days in each calendar week and of general circulation in The City of New
York, and Western Europe, as applicable. If it shall be impractical in the
opinion of the Warrant Agent to make any publication of any notice required
hereby in an Authorized Newspaper, any publication or other notice in lieu
thereof that is made or given with the approval of the Warrant Agent shall
constitute a sufficient publication of such notice.

         SECTION 6.05. Obtaining of Approvals. The Company will from time to
time take all action that may be necessary to obtain and keep effective any and
all filings or notices under applicable law, which may be or become required in
connection with the issuance, sale, trading, transfer or delivery of the Warrant
Certificates or the exercise of the Universal Warrants.

         SECTION 6.06.  Persons Having Rights under this Agreement.  Nothing in
this Agreement expressed or implied and nothing that may be inferred from any of


                                       26

<PAGE>



the provisions hereof is intended, or shall be construed, to confer upon, or
give to, any person or corporation other than the Company, the Warrant Agent and
the Warrantholders any right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this
Agreement or of any covenant, condition, stipulation, promise or agreement
hereof, and all covenants, conditions, stipulations, promises and agreements
contained in this Agreement shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the
Company, the Warrant Agent, their respective successors and the Warrantholders.

         SECTION 6.07. Inspection of Agreement. A copy of this Agreement shall
be available at all reasonable times at the Warrant Agent's Office for
inspection by the Warrantholders, participants of the Depositary certified as
such by the Depositary or any person certified by any such participant to be an
indirect participant of the Depositary or any person certified by any such
participant to be a beneficial owner of a Universal Warrant, in each case, on
behalf of whom such participant holds Universal Warrants.

         SECTION 6.08. Officer's Certificates and Opinions of Counsel;
Statements to be Contained Therein. (a) Each certificate or opinion provided for
in this Agreement and delivered to the Warrant Agent with respect to compliance
with a condition or covenant provided for in this Agreement shall include (i) a
statement that the person making such certificate or opinion has read such
covenant or condition, (ii) a brief statement as to the nature and scope of the
examination or investigation upon which the statements or opinions contained in
such certificate or opinion are based, (iii) a statement that, in the opinion of
such person, such person has made such examination or investigation as is
necessary to enable such person to express an informed opinion as to whether or
not such covenant or condition has been complied with and (iv) a statement as to
whether or not, in the opinion of such person, such condition or covenant has
been complied with.

          (b) Any certificate, statement or opinion of an officer of the Company
may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or
opinion of or representations by counsel, unless such officer knows that the
certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which
such officer's certificate, statement or opinion may be based as aforesaid are
erroneous, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know that the same are
erroneous. Any certificate, statement or opinion of counsel may be based,
insofar as it relates to factual matters, information with respect to which is
in the possession of the Company, upon the certificate, statement or opinion of
or representations by an officer or officers of the Company, unless such counsel
knows that the certificate, statement or opinion or representations with respect
to the matters upon which such officer's certificate, statement or opinion may
be based as aforesaid are erroneous, or in the exercise of reasonable care
should know that the same are erroneous.


                                       27

<PAGE>




          (c) Any certificate, statement or opinion of an officer of the Company
or of counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to accounting matters, upon a
certificate or opinion of or representations by an accountant or firm of
accountants in the employ of the Company, unless such officer or counsel, as the
case may be, knows that the certificate or opinion or representations with
respect to the accounting matters upon which such officer's or counsel's, as the
case may be, certificate, statement or opinion may be based as aforesaid are
erroneous, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know that the same are
erroneous. Any certificate or opinion of any independent firm of public
accountants filed with and directed to the Warrant Agent shall contain a
statement that such firm is independent.

         SECTION 6.09. Payments Due on Saturdays, Sundays and Holidays. If the
date fixed for any payment with respect to the Universal Warrants of any series
appertaining thereto shall not be a Business Day (as defined below), then such
payment need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding
Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the date fixed, and no
interest shall accrue for the period after such date.

         "Business Day" means, with respect to any Universal Warrant, a Business
Day as defined in any debt security included in any unit comprised of such
Universal Warrant or as otherwise established pursuant to Section 1.03 hereof or
if the term Business Day is not so specified, Business Day means any day that is
not a Saturday or Sunday or a legal holiday in The City of New York or a day on
which banking institutions in The City of New York are authorized or required by
law, regulation or executive order to be closed.

         SECTION 6.10. Judgment Currency. The Company agrees, to the fullest
extent that it may effectively do so under applicable law, that (a) if for the
purpose of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert the sum
due in respect of the Universal Warrants of any series (the "Required Currency")
into a currency in which a judgment will be rendered (the "Judgment Currency"),
the rate of exchange used shall be the rate at which in accordance with normal
banking procedures the Warrant Agent could purchase in The City of New York the
Required Currency with the Judgment Currency on the day on which final
unappealable judgment is entered, unless such day is not a New York Banking Day
(as defined below), in which event, to the extent permitted by applicable law,
the rate of exchange used shall be the rate at which in accordance with normal
banking procedures the Warrant Agent could purchase in The City of New York the
Required Currency with the Judgment Currency on the last New York Banking Day
preceding the day on which final unappealable judgment is entered and (b) its
obligations under this Agreement and the terms of the Universal


                                       28

<PAGE>



Warrants of such series to make payments in the Required Currency (i) shall not
be discharged or satisfied by any tender, or any recovery pursuant to any
judgment (whether or not entered in accordance with clause 6.10(a)), in any
currency other than the Required Currency, except to the extent that such tender
or recovery shall result in the actual receipt, by the payee, of the full amount
of the Required Currency expressed to be payable in respect of such payments,
(ii) shall be enforceable as an alternative or additional cause of action for
the purpose of recovering in the Required Currency so expressed to be payable
and (iii) shall not be affected by judgment being obtained for any other sum due
under this Agreement. For purposes of the foregoing, "New York Banking Day"
means any day except a Saturday, Sunday or a legal holiday in The City of New
York or a day on which banking institutions in The City of New York are
authorized or required by law or executive order to close.

         SECTION 6.11. Headings. The descriptive headings of the several
Articles and Sections of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and
shall not control or affect the meaning or construction of any of the provisions
hereof.

         SECTION 6.12.  Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any
number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an
original; but such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same
instrument.

         SECTION 6.13. Applicable Law. This Agreement and each Universal Warrant
shall be deemed to be a contract under the laws of the State of New York, and
for all purposes shall be construed in accordance with the laws of said State.

         The Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate are part of a duly
authorized issue of Universal Warrants issued by the Company pursuant to a
Universal Warrant Agreement, dated as of [_______], 20[ ] (the "Warrant

which Warrant Agreement is hereby incorporated by reference in and made a part

terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings set forth in
the Warrant Agreement. A copy of the Warrant Agreement is on file at the Warrant
Agent's Office. The Warrants constitute a separate series of Universal Warrants
under the Warrant Agreement.

         The Warrants are unsecured contractual obligations of the Company and
rank pari passu with the Company's other unsecured contractual obligations and
with the Company's unsecured and unsubordinated debt.

         Subject to the provisions hereof and the Warrant Agreement, each
Warrant may be exercised during the dates of exercise set forth on the face
hereof by delivering or causing to be delivered this Warrant Certificate, the
Exercise Notice, duly completed and executed, and the Exercise Property for each
such Warrant to the Warrant Agent's Window, in the Borough of Manhattan, The
City of New York, which is, on the date hereof (unless otherwise specified

         The Warrant Agreement and the terms of the Warrants are subject to
amendment as provided in the Warrant Agreement.

         This Warrant Certificate shall be governed by, and interpreted in

previously authenticated, countersigned and delivered hereunder, under the
Warrant Agreement and under the Indenture, which the Corporation may have
acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Unit Certificates so delivered shall,

         SECTION 5.04. May Hold Units. The Agent, the Trustee, the Warrant
Agent, or any other agent of the Corporation, the Trustee, the Warrant Agent, or
the Agent, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or
pledgee of Units and may otherwise deal with the Corporation and receive,
collect, hold and retain collections from the Corporation with the same rights
it would have if it were not such other agent, the Trustee, the Warrant Agent or
the Agent.

         SECTION 5.05.  Compensation and Reimbursement.  The Corporation
agrees:

          (a) to pay to the Agent from time to time reasonable compensation for
all services rendered by it hereunder (which compensation shall not be limited
by any provision of law with regard to the compensation of a trustee of an
express trust);

          (b) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to reimburse the
Agent and any predecessor Agent upon its request for all reasonable expenses,
disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Agent in accordance with any
provision of this Agreement (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

          (c) to indemnify the Agent and any predecessor Agent for, and to hold
it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence
or bad faith on its part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or
administration of this Agreement and its duties hereunder, including the costs
and expenses of defending itself against or investigating any claim of liability
in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties
hereunder.

         The obligations of the Corporation under this Section to compensate and
indemnify the Agent and any predecessor Agent and to pay or reimburse the Agent
and any predecessor Agent for expenses, disbursements and advances shall




                                       14

<PAGE>



constitute additional indebtedness hereunder and shall survive the resignation
or removal of such Agent or predecessor Agent or the termination hereof. Such
additional indebtedness shall be a senior claim to that of the Units upon all
property and funds held or collected by the Agent as such, except funds held in
trust for the benefit of the Holders of particular Units, and the Units are
hereby subordinated to such senior claim.

         SECTION 5.06. Corporate Agent Required; Eligibility. There shall at all
times be an Agent hereunder which shall be a corporation organized and doing
business under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or
the District of Columbia, having, together with its parent, a combined capital
and surplus of at least $50,000,000, subject to supervision or examination by
Federal, State or District of Columbia authority and willing to act on
reasonable terms. If such corporation, or its parent, publishes reports of
condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the
aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this
Section, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to
be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of
condition so published. The Agent hereunder shall at all times be the Trustee
under the Indenture and the Warrant Agent under the Warrant Agreement, subject
to receipt of an Opinion of Counsel that the same Person is precluded by law
from acting in such capacities. If at any time the Agent shall cease to be
eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, it shall resign
immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this
Article. The Agent may appoint one or more sub-agents with offices or agencies
in a city or cities outside the United States.

         SECTION 5.07. Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor. (a) No
resignation or removal of the Agent and no appointment of a successor Agent
pursuant to this Article shall become effective until the acceptance of
appointment by the successor Agent in accordance with the applicable
requirements of Section 5.08.

          (b) The Agent may resign by giving written notice thereof to the
Corporation and the Holders, in accordance with Section 7.06 and Section 7.07,
60 days prior to the effective date of such resignation. The Agent may be
removed at any time upon 60 days' notice by the filing with it of an instrument
in writing signed on behalf of the Corporation and specifying such removal and
the date when it is intended to become effective. If the instrument of
acceptance by a successor Agent required by Section 5.08 shall not have been
delivered to the Agent within 30 days after the giving of such notice of
resignation, the resigning Agent may petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Agent.





                                       15

<PAGE>



          (c)   If at any time

               (i) the Agent shall cease to be eligible under Section 5.06, or
          shall cease to be eligible as Trustee under the Indenture or as
          Warrant Agent under the Warrant Agreement, and shall fail to resign
          after written request therefor by the Corporation or by any Holder, or

               (ii) the Agent shall become incapable of acting with respect to
          the Units or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver
          or liquidator of the Agent or of its property shall be appointed or
          any public officer shall take charge or control of the Agent or of its
          property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or
          liquidation,

then, in any such case, (A) the Corporation, by Board Resolution, may remove the
Agent and appoint a successor Agent, or (B) any Holder who has been a bona fide
Holder of a Unit for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all
others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the
removal of the Agent and the appointment of a successor Agent or Agents. Such
court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and
prescribe, remove the Agent and appoint a successor Agent.

          (d) If the Agent shall resign, be removed or become incapable of
acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Agent for any cause, the
Corporation, by Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor Agent or
Agents (other than the Corporation) and shall comply with the applicable
requirements of Section 5.08. If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed
by the Corporation and accepted appointment in the manner required by Section
5.08, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Unit for at least six
months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any
court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Agent.

          (e) The Corporation shall give, or shall cause such successor Agent to
give, notice of each resignation and each removal of the Agent and each
appointment of a successor Agent to all Holders of Units in accordance with
Section 7.07. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Agent and the
address of its Corporate Trust Office.

         SECTION 5.08. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor. (a) In case of
the appointment hereunder of a successor Agent, every such successor Agent so
appointed shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Corporation and to the
retiring Agent an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the
resignation or removal of the retiring Agent shall become effective and such
successor Agent, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become




                                       16

<PAGE>



vested with all the rights, powers, agencies and duties of the retiring Agent,
with like effect as if originally named as Agent hereunder; but, on the request
of the Corporation or the successor Agent, such retiring Agent shall, upon
payment of all amounts due and payable to it pursuant to Section 5.05, execute
and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Agent all the rights
and powers of the retiring Agent and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to
such successor Agent all property and money held by such retiring Agent
hereunder. Any retiring Agent shall, nonetheless, retain a prior claim upon all
property or funds held or collected by such Agent to secure any amounts then due
it pursuant to Section 5.05.

          (b) Upon request of any such successor Agent, the Corporation shall
execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and
confirming to such successor Agent all such rights, powers and agencies referred
to in paragraph (a) of this Section.

          (c) No successor Agent shall accept its appointment unless at the time
of such acceptance such successor Agent shall be eligible under this Article.

          (d) Upon acceptance of appointment by any successor Agent as provided
in this Section, the Corporation shall give notice thereof to the Holders of
Units in accordance with Section 7.07. If the acceptance of appointment is
substantially contemporaneous with the resignation of the Agent, then the notice
called for by the preceding sentence may be combined with the notice called for
by Section 5.07. If the Corporation fails to give such notice within ten days
after acceptance of appointment by the successor Agent, the successor Agent
shall cause such notice to be given at the expense of the Corporation.

         SECTION 5.09. Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to
Business. Any corporation into which the 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 the Agent shall be a party, or any
corporation succeeding to all or substantially all the agency business of the
Agent, shall be the successor of the Agent hereunder, without the execution or
filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto,
provided that such corporation shall be otherwise eligible under this Article.

         [SECTION 5.10. Tax Compliance. (a) The Company will allocate __% of the
issue price of the Units as premium for the Warrants, based on the relative fair
market values of the Notes and the Warrants at the time of the issuance of the
Units, and will allocate __% of the issue price of the Units to the Notes.]

         (b) The Corporation by the issuance and sale of any Unit and any Holder
of a Unit by his acceptance thereof agree to (in the absence of any applicable




                                       17

<PAGE>



administrative ruling or judicial determination to the contrary) treat the
Securities that constitute any Unit as separate securities and to file all
United States federal, state and local tax returns consistent with the treatment
of such Unit as constituted by separate securities.



                                    ARTICLE 6
                    CONSOLIDATION, MERGER, SALE OR CONVEYANCE

         SECTION 6.01. Covenant Not to Merge, Consolidate, Sell or Convey
Property Except Under Certain Conditions. The Corporation covenants that it will
not merge or consolidate with any other corporation or sell or convey all or
substantially all of its assets to any Person, firm or corporation, except that
the Corporation may merge or consolidate with, or sell or convey all or
substantially all of its assets to, any other corporation, provided that (i) the
Corporation shall be the continuing corporation, or the successor corporation
(if other than the Corporation) shall be a corporation organized and existing
under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof or the
District of Columbia and such corporation shall assume the due and punctual
performance and observance of all of the covenants and conditions of this
Agreement to be performed by the Corporation by supplemental agreement in form
satisfactory to the Agent executed and delivered to the Agent by such
corporation, and (ii) neither the Corporation nor such successor corporation
immediately after such merger or consolidation, or such sale or conveyance shall
be in default in the performance of any such covenant or condition.

         SECTION 6.02. Rights and Duties of Successor Corporation. In case of
any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance and upon any such assumption
by the successor corporation, such successor corporation shall succeed to and be
substituted for the Corporation with the same effect as if it had been named
herein as the Corporation. Such successor corporation thereupon may cause to be
signed, and may issue (subject to the provisions of the Indenture and the
Warrant Agreement) either in its own name or in the name of J.P. Morgan Chase &
Co. any or all of the [list constituent securities] issuable hereunder which
theretofore shall not have been signed by the Corporation and delivered to the
Agent; and, upon the order of such successor corporation, instead of the
Corporation, and subject to all the terms, conditions and limitations in this
Agreement prescribed, the Trustee, the Warrant Agent and the Agent shall
authenticate, countersign and deliver, as applicable, any [list constituent
securities] that previously shall have been signed and delivered by the officers
of the Corporation to the Trustee and the Warrant Agent for authentication and
countersignature, and any [list constituent securities] evidencing Units which
such successor corporation thereafter shall




                                       18

<PAGE>



cause to be signed and delivered to the Trustee and the Warrant Agent for such
purpose.

         In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance or lease
such change in phraseology and form (but not in substance) may be made in the
Unit Certificates thereafter to be issued as may be appropriate.

         SECTION 6.03. Opinion of Counsel to Agent. The Agent subject to
Sections 5.01 and 5.02 may receive an Opinion of Counsel as conclusive evidence
that any such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance or lease, and any such
assumption, complies with the provisions of this Article.



                                    ARTICLE 7
                            MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

         SECTION 7.01. Amendments. (a) This Agreement and the terms of the Units
may be amended (by means of an agreement supplemental hereto or otherwise) by
the Corporation and the Agent, without the consent of the Holders, (i) for the
purpose of curing any ambiguity, or of curing, correcting or supplementing any
defective or inconsistent provision contained herein or therein, (ii) to
evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment hereunder by a successor
Agent with respect to the Units or (iii) in any other manner which the
Corporation may deem necessary or desirable and which will not adversely affect
the interests of the affected Holders.

          (b) The Corporation and the Agent may modify or amend this Agreement
(by means of an agreement supplemental hereto or otherwise) with the consent of
Holders holding not less than a majority in number of the then outstanding Units
for any purpose; provided, however, that no such modification or amendment that
materially and adversely affects the exercise rights of the affected Holders or
reduces the percentage of the number of outstanding Units, the consent of the
Holders of which is required for modification or amendment of this Agreement,
may be made without the consent of each Holder affected thereby. In the case of
Units evidenced by one or more Global Unit Certificates, the Corporation and the
Agent shall be entitled to rely upon certification in form satisfactory to each
of them that any requisite consent has been obtained from holders of beneficial
ownership interests in the relevant Global Unit Certificate. Such certification
may be provided by participants of the Depositary acting on behalf of such
beneficial owners of Units, provided that any such certification is accompanied
by a certification from the Depositary as to the Unit holdings of such
participants.




                                       19

          (c) Upon the request of the Corporation, accompanied by a copy of a
Board Resolution (which Board Resolution may provide general terms or parameters
for such action and may provide that the specific terms of such action may be
determined in accordance with or pursuant to an Officer's Certificate)
authorizing the execution of any such amendment, and upon the filing with the
Agent of evidence of the consent of Holders as aforesaid, the Agent shall join
with the Corporation in the execution of such amendment unless such amendment
affects the Agent's own rights, duties or immunities under this Agreement or
otherwise, in which case the Agent may in its discretion, but shall not be
obligated to, enter into such amendment. In executing, or accepting the
additional duties created by, any amendment permitted by this Section, the Agent
shall be entitled to receive, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, an
Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amendment is authorized or
permitted by this Agreement. The fact and date of the execution of any consent
of Holders, or the authority of the Person executing the same, may be proved in
any manner which the Agent (with the approval of the Corporation) deems
sufficient.

          (d) It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under
this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it
shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof.

          (e) The Corporation may set a record date for purposes of determining
the identity of Holders of Units entitled to consent to any action by consent
authorized or permitted hereby. Such record date shall be the later of 30 days
prior to the first solicitation of such consent or the date of the most recent
list of Holders of Units furnished to the Agent. The ownership of Units shall be
proved by the Unit Register.

         SECTION 7.02. Incorporators, Stockholders, Officers and Directors of
the Corporation Immune from Liability. No recourse under or upon any obligation,
covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement, or in any Warrant Agreement
or any [list constituent securities], or because of any indebtedness evidenced
thereby, shall be had against any incorporator, or against any past, present or
future stockholder, officer, attorney-in-fact or director, as such, of the
Corporation or of any successor corporation, either directly or through the
Corporation or any successor corporation, under any rule of law, statute or
constitutional provision or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or
by any legal or equitable proceeding or otherwise, all such liability being
expressly waived and released by the acceptance of the Units by the Holders
thereof and as part of the consideration for the issue thereof, provided that
nothing in this Article shall impair the obligations, covenants and agreements
of the Corporation contained in this Agreement and in any [list constituent
securities] constituting a part of the Units.




                                       20

<PAGE>



         SECTION 7.03. Compliance Certificates and Opinions. Except as otherwise
expressly provided by this Agreement, upon any application or request by the
Corporation to the Agent to take any action under any provision of this
Agreement, the Corporation, as applicable, shall furnish to the Agent an
Officer's Certificate stating that all conditions precedent, if any, provided
for in this Agreement relating to the proposed action have been complied with
and an Opinion of Counsel stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, all such
conditions precedent, if any, have been complied with, except that in the case
of any such application or request as to which the furnishing of such documents
is specifically required by any provision of this Agreement relating to such
particular application or request, no additional certificate or opinion need be
furnished.

         Every certificate or opinion with respect to compliance with a
condition or covenant provided for in this Agreement shall include:

               (i) a statement that each individual signing such certificate or
          opinion has reached such covenant or condition and the definitions
          herein relating thereto;

               (ii) a brief statement as to the nature and scope of the
          examination or investigation upon which the statements or opinions
          contained in such certificate or opinion are based;

               (iii) a statement that, in the opinion of each such individual,
          he has made such examination or investigation as is necessary to
          enable him to express an informed opinion as to whether or not such
          covenant or condition has been complied with; and

               (iv) a statement as to whether, in the opinion of each such
          individual, such condition or covenant has been complied with.

         SECTION 7.04. Form of Documents Delivered to Agent. In any case where
several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by 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 with respect 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.

         Any certificate, statement or opinion of an officer or counsel of or
for the Corporation may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a
certificate or opinion of, or representations by, counsel, unless such officer
knows, or in the




                                       21

<PAGE>



exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or
representations with respect to the matters upon which his certificate,
statement or opinion is based are erroneous. Any such certificate, statement or
opinion may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a
certificate, statement or opinion of, or representations by, an officer or
officers of the Corporation, as applicable, stating that the information with
respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the Corporation, unless
such counsel knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the
certificate or opinion or representations with respect to such matters are
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 Agreement, they may, but need not, be consolidated and
form one instrument.

         SECTION 7.05. Maintenance of Office or Agency. So long as Units are
authorized for issuance pursuant to this Agreement or are outstanding hereunder,
the Corporation will maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York,
an office or agency where Units may be presented or surrendered for delivery,
where Units may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and
where notices and demands to or upon the Corporation in respect of Units and
this Agreement may be served. The Corporation hereby initially designates the
Agent as its office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York,
for each of said purposes. The Corporation will give prompt written notice to
the Agent of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or
agency. If at any time the Corporation shall fail to maintain any such required
office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Agent with the name and address
thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or
served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Agent, and the Corporation hereby
appoints the Agent as its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders,
notices and demands.

         The Corporation may also from time to time designate one or more other
offices or agencies where Units may be presented or surrendered for any or all
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
Corporation of its obligations to maintain offices or agencies provided for in
this Section. The Corporation will give prompt written notice to the Agent of
any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such
other office or agency.

<PAGE>



         SECTION 7.06. Notices, Etc. Any request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Holders or other document provided
or permitted by this Agreement to be made upon, given or furnished to, or filed
with,

          (a) the Agent, by any Holder or by the Corporation shall be sufficient
for every purpose hereunder (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if
made, given, furnished or filed in writing and personally delivered or mailed,
first-class postage prepaid, to the Agent at its Corporate Trust Office,
Attention: Corporate Trustee Administration Department, or at any other address
previously furnished in writing by the Agent to the Holders and the Corporation,
or

          (b) the Corporation by the Agent or by any Holder shall be sufficient
for every purpose hereunder (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if
made, given, furnished or filed in writing and personally delivered or mailed,
first-class postage prepaid, addressed to the Corporation at 270 Park Avenue,
New York, New York 10017-2070, Attention: Corporate Secretary, or at any other
address previously furnished in writing to the Agent by the Corporation.

         SECTION 7.07. Notices to Holders; Waiver. The Corporation may cause
notice to be given to the Holders by providing the Agent with a form of notice
to be distributed by (a) in the case of Definitive Units, the Agent to the
Holders by first class mail, or (b) in the case of Global Units, the Depositary
to its participants in accordance with the custom and practices of the
Depositary. Where this Agreement 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 Agent, but such
filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in
reliance upon such waiver.

         SECTION 7.08. 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 7.09. Successors and Assigns. All covenants and agreements in
this Agreement, the Units and the Unit Certificates by the Corporation shall
bind its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not.

         SECTION 7.10. Separability Clause. In case any provision in this
Agreement or in the Units, Unit Certificates or [list constituent securities]
shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and
enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof and thereof shall not in any
way be affected or impaired thereby.

         SECTION 7.11. Benefits of Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement or in
the Units, Unit Certificates, the Indenture, the Warrant Agreement, [list
constituent securities], express or implied, shall give to any Person, other
than the parties hereto and their successors hereunder, any benefits or any
legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Agreement. The Holders from
time to time shall be bound by all of the terms and conditions hereof and of the
Indenture, the Units, the Warrant Agreement, [list constituent securities]
evidenced by the Units, by their acceptance of delivery of such Units.

         SECTION 7.12.  Governing Law.  This Agreement, the Units, the Unit
Certificate and [list constituent securities] shall be governed and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

         SECTION 7.13. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any
number of counterparts by the parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of
which, when so executed and delivered, shall be deemed an original, but all such
counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument.

         SECTION 7.14. Inspection of Agreement. A copy of this Agreement shall
be available at all reasonable times during normal business hours at the
Corporate Trust Office of the Agent for inspection by any Holder.

Re:      J.P. Morgan Chase & Co.
         Registration Statement on Form S-3

Dear Sir or Madame:

         I am a Senior Vice President and Associate General Counsel of J.P.
Morgan Chase & Co., a Delaware corporation ("J.P. Morgan Chase") and in such
capacity am acting as counsel in connection with J.P. Morgan Chase's
Registration Statement on Form S-3 (as it may be amended or supplemented from
time to time, the "Registration Statement") being filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act")
with respect to $1,000,000,000 aggregate initial offering price of the following
securities (collectively, the "Securities"): (i) debt securities ("Debt
Securities"), (ii) warrants to purchase Debt Securities ("Debt Warrants"), to
receive cash determined by reference to an index or indices ("Index Warrants"),
to receive cash determined by reference to currencies ("Currency Warrants"), to
receive cash determined by reference to interest rates ("Interest Rate
Warrants"), or to purchase or sell (a) securities of an entity other than J.P.
Morgan Chase, a basket of such securities or commodities, or (b) receive cash
determined by reference to any other financial, economic or other measure or
instrument including the occurrence or non-occurrence of any other event or
circumstance, any combination of the above ("Universal Warrants," and together
with Debt Warrants, Index Warrants, Currency Warrants and Interest Rate
Warrants, the "Warrants") and (iii) Debt Securities and Warrants or any
combination thereof that may be offered in the form of Units ("Units").

         The Debt Securities, if any, are to be issued from time to time as
senior indebtedness of J.P. Morgan Chase under an indenture (the "Indenture") to
be entered into between J.P. Morgan Chase and Bankers Trust Company, as trustee
(the "Trustee"). The Debt Warrants, if any, will be issued under a debt warrant
agreement to be entered into between J.P. Morgan Chase and a debt warrant agent
(the "Debt Warrant Agreement"). The Index Warrants, if any, will be issued under
an index warrant agreement to be entered into between J.P. Morgan Chase and an
index warrant agent (the "Index Warrant Agreement"). The Currency



<PAGE>



Warrants, if any, will be issued under a currency warrant agreement to be
entered into between J.P. Morgan Chase and a currency warrant agent (the
"Currency Warrant Agreement"). The Interest Rate Warrants, if any, will be
issued under an interest rate warrant agreement to be entered into between J.P.
Morgan Chase and an interest rate warrant agent (the "Interest Rate Warrant
Agreement"). The Universal Warrants, if any, will be issued under a universal
warrant agreement to be entered into between J.P. Morgan Chase and a universal
warrant agent (the "Universal Warrant Agreement"). The Units, if any, will be
issued under a unit agreement to be entered into between J.P. Morgan Chase and a
unit agent (the "Unit Agreement"). The forms of the Indenture, the Debt Warrant
Agreement, the Index Warrant Agreement, the Currency Warrant Agreement, the
Interest Rate Warrant Agreement, the Universal Warrant Agreement, the Unit
Agreement and the Securities are filed as exhibits to the Registration
Statement.

         I have examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified
to my satisfaction, of such documents, corporate records, certificates of public
officials and other instruments as I have deemed necessary for the purposes of
rendering this opinion.

         Based upon the foregoing, I am of the opinion that:

         1. When the Indenture and any supplemental indenture to be entered into
in connection with the issuance of Debt Securities have been duly authorized,
executed and delivered by J.P. Morgan Chase and the Trustee, the specific terms
of a particular Debt Security have been duly authorized and established in
accordance with the Indenture, and such Debt Security has been duly authorized,
executed, authenticated, issued and delivered against payment therefor in
accordance with the Indenture and the underwriting or other agreement, such Debt
Security will constitute a valid and binding obligation of J.P. Morgan Chase,
enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as the enforceability thereof
may be limited by (a) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance (or
transfer) or other similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally and (b)
general equitable principles (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a
proceeding in equity or at law).

         2. When the applicable warrant agreement or Unit Agreement, as the case
may be, to be entered into in connection with the issuance of Warrants or Units,
has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by J.P. Morgan Chase and the
warrant agent or unit agent, as the case may be, the specific terms of a
particular Warrant or Unit have been duly authorized and established in
accordance with the applicable warrant agreement or Unit Agreement, as the case
may be, and such Warrants or Units have been duly authorized, executed, issued
and delivered against payment therefor in accordance with the applicable warrant
agreement or Unit Agreement, as the case may be, and the applicable underwriting




                                        2

<PAGE>


or other agreement, all corporate action on the part of J.P. Morgan Chase will
have been taken to authorize the issuance and sale of such Warrants or Units
proposed to be sold by J.P. Morgan Chase and such Warrants or Units will
constitute valid and binding obligations of J.P. Morgan Chase, enforceable in
accordance with their terms, except as the enforceability thereof may be limited
by (a) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance (or transfer) or other
similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally and (b) general equitable
principles (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in
equity or at law).

         In connection with the opinions expressed above, I have assumed that,
at or prior to the time of the delivery of any such Security, (i) the Board of
Directors or a duly constituted committee duly authorized by the Board of
Directors shall have duly established the terms of such Security and duly
authorized the issuance and sale of such Security and such authorization shall
not have been modified or rescinded; (ii) the Board of Directors, or a duly
constituted committee duly authorized by the Board of Directors, shall have duly
authorized the execution and delivery of the Indenture and any supplemental
indenture or the applicable warrant agreement or unit agreement, as the case may
be, and such authorization shall not have been modified or rescinded; (iii) the
Registration Statement shall have been declared effective and such effectiveness
shall not have been terminated or rescinded; and (iv) there shall not have
occurred any change in law affecting the validity or enforceability of such
Security. I have also assumed that none of the terms of any Security to be
established subsequent to the date hereof, nor the issuance and delivery of such
Security, nor the compliance by J.P. Morgan Chase with the terms of such
Security will violate any applicable law or will result in a violation of any
provision of any instrument or agreement then binding upon J.P. Morgan Chase, or
any restriction imposed by any court or governmental body having jurisdiction
over J.P. Morgan Chase.

         I am a member of the Bar of the State of New York and the foregoing
opinion is limited to the laws of the State of New York, the federal laws of the
United States of America and the General Corporation Law of the State of
Delaware.

         I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement. In addition, I consent to the reference to me under the
caption "Legal Matters" in the prospectus.

         This opinion is rendered solely to you in connection with the above
matter. This opinion may not be relied upon by you for any other purpose or
relied upon by or furnished to any other person without my prior written
consent.

                                                Very truly yours,


                                                /s/ Neila B. Radin

Stock out of any assets or funds of the corporation legally available for the
payment of dividends.

     2. Voting Rights: Except as otherwise expressly provided with respect to
the Series Preferred Stock or with respect to any series of the Series
Preferred Stock, the Common Stock shall have the exclusive right to vote for
the election of directors and for all other purposes, each holder of the Common
Stock being entitled to one vote for each share thereof held.

     3. Liquidation: Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, and after the holders of the
Series Preferred Stock of each series shall have been paid in full the amounts
to which they respectively shall be entitled, or a sum sufficient for the
payment in full set aside, the remaining net assets of the corporation shall be
distributed pro rata to the holders of the Common Stock in accordance with
their respective rights and interests, to the exclusion of the holders of the
Series Preferred Stock.

     4. Preemptive Rights: No holder of Common Stock of the corporation shall
be entitled, as such, as a matter of right, to subscribe for or purchase any
part of any new or additional issue of stock of any class or series whatsoever,
any rights or options to purchase stock of any class or series whatsoever, or
any securities convertible into, exchangeable for or carrying rights or options
to purchase stock of any class or series whatsoever, whether now or hereafter
authorized, and whether issued for cash or other consideration, or by way of
dividend or other distribution.

     (b) Series Preferred Stock

     1. Board Authority: The Series Preferred Stock may be issued from time to
time by the Board of Directors as herein provided in one or more series. The
designations, relative rights, preferences and limitations of the Series
Preferred Stock, and particularly of the shares of each series thereof, may, to
the extent permitted by law, be similar to or may differ from those of any
other series. The Board of Directors of the corporation is hereby expressly
granted authority, subject to the provisions of this Article III, to issue from
time to time Series Preferred Stock in one or more series and to fix from time
to time before issuance thereof, by filing a certificate pursuant to the
Banking Law, the number of shares in each such series of such class and all
designations, relative rights (including the right, to the extent permitted by
law, to convert into shares of any class or into shares of any series of any
class), preferences and limitations of the shares in each such series,
including, buy without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the following:

          (i) The number of shares to constitute such series (which number may
     at any time, or from time to time, be increased or decreased by the Board
     of Directors, notwithstanding that shares of the series may be outstanding
     at the time of such increase or decrease, unless the Board of Directors
     shall have otherwise provided in creating such series) and the distinctive
     designation thereof;

          (ii) The dividend rate on the shares of such series, whether or not
     dividends on the shares of such series shall be cumulative, and the date
     or dates, if any, from which dividends thereon shall be cumulative;

          (iii) Whether or not the share of such series shall be redeemable,
     and, if redeemable, the date or dates upon or after which they shall be
     redeemable, the amount or


<PAGE>


     amounts per share (which shall be, in the case of each share, not less
     than its preference upon involuntary liquidation, plus an amount equal to
     all dividends thereon accrued and unpaid, whether or not earned or
     declared) payable thereon in the case of the redemption thereof, which
     amount may vary at different redemption dates or otherwise as permitted by
     law;

          (iv) The right, if any, of holders of shares of such series to
     convert the same into, or exchange the same for, Common Stock or other
     stock as permitted by law, and the terms and conditions of such conversion
     or exchange, as well as provisions for adjustment of the conversion rate
     in such events as the Board of Directors shall determine;

          (v) The amount per share payable on the shares of such series upon
     the voluntary and involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of
     the corporation;

          (vi) Whether the holders of shares of such series shall have voting
     power, full or limited, in addition to the voting powers provided by law
     and, in case additional voting powers are accorded, to fix the extent
     thereof; and

          (vii) Generally to fix the other rights and privileges and any
     qualifications, limitations or restrictions of such rights and privileges
     of such series, provided, however, that no such rights, privileges,
     qualifications, limitations or restrictions shall be in conflict with the
     organization certificate of the corporation or with the resolution or
     resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors providing for the issue of
     any series of which there are shares outstanding.

     All shares of Series Preferred Stock of the same series shall be identical
in all respects, except that shares of any one series issued at different times
may differ as to dates, if any, from which dividends thereon may accumulate.
All shares of Series Preferred Stock of all series shall be of equal rank and
shall be identical in all respects except that to the extent not otherwise
limited in this Article III any series may differ from any other series with
respect to any one or more of the designations, relative rights, preferences
and limitations described or referred to in subparagraphs (I) to (vii)
inclusive above.

     2. Dividends: Dividends on the outstanding Series Preferred Stock of each
series shall be declared and paid or set apart for payment before any dividends
shall be declared and paid or set apart for payment on the Common Stock with
respect to the same quarterly dividend period. Dividends on any shares of
Series Preferred Stock shall be cumulative only if and to the extent set forth
in a certificate filed pursuant to law. After dividends on all shares of Series
Preferred Stock (including cumulative dividends if and to the extent any such
shares shall be entitled thereto) shall have been declared and paid or set
apart for payment with respect to any quarterly dividend period, then and not
otherwise so long as any shares of Series Preferred Stock shall remain
outstanding, dividends may be declared and paid or set apart for payment with
respect to the same quarterly dividend period on the Common Stock out the
assets or funds of the corporation legally available therefor.

     All Shares of Series Preferred Stock of all series shall be of equal rank,
preference and priority as to dividends irrespective of whether or not the
rates of dividends to which the same shall be entitled shall be the same and
when the stated dividends are not paid in full, the shares of all series of the
Series Preferred Stock shall share ratably in the payment thereof in accordance
with the sums which would be payable on such shares if all dividends were paid
in full, provided, however, that any two or more series of the Series Preferred
Stock may differ from each other as to the existence and extent of the right to
cumulative dividends, as aforesaid.


<PAGE>


     3. Voting Rights: Except as otherwise specifically provided in the
certificate filed pursuant to law with respect to any series of the Series
Preferred Stock, or as otherwise provided by law, the Series Preferred Stock
shall not have any right to vote for the election of directors or for any other
purpose and the Common Stock shall have the exclusive right to vote for the
election of directors and for all other purposes.

     4. Liquidation: In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up
of the corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, each series of Series
Preferred Stock shall have preference and priority over the Common Stock for
payment of the amount to which each outstanding series of Series Preferred
Stock shall be entitled in accordance with the provisions thereof and each
holder of Series Preferred Stock shall be entitled to be paid in full such
amount, or have a sum sufficient for the payment in full set aside, before any
payments shall be made to the holders of the Common Stock. If, upon
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the corporation, the assets of the
corporation or proceeds thereof, distributable among the holders of the shares
of all series of the Series Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to pay in
full the preferential amount aforesaid, then such assets, or the proceeds
thereof, shall be distributed among such holders ratably in accordance with the
respective amounts which would be payable if all amounts payable thereon were
paid in full. After the payment to the holders of Series Preferred Stock of all
such amounts to which they are entitled, as above provided, the remaining
assets and funds of the corporation shall be divided and paid to the holders of
the Common Stock.

     5. Redemption: In the event that the Series Preferred Stock of any series
shall be made redeemable as provided in clause (iii) of paragraph 1 of section
(b) of this Article III, the corporation, at the option of the Board of
Directors, may redeem at any time or times, and from time to time, all or any
part of any one or more series of Series Preferred Stock outstanding by paying
for each share the then applicable redemption price fixed by the Board of
Directors as provided herein, plus an amount equal to accrued and unpaid
dividends to the date fixed for redemption, upon such notice and terms as may
be specifically provided in the certificate filed pursuant to law with respect
to the series.

     6. Preemptive Rights: No holder of Series Preferred Stock of the
corporation shall be entitled, as such, as a matter or right, to subscribe for
or purchase any part of any new or additional issue of stock of any class or
series whatsoever, any rights or options to purchase stock of any class or
series whatsoever, or any securities convertible into, exchangeable for or
carrying rights or options to purchase stock of any class or series whatsoever,
whether now or hereafter authorized, and whether issued for cash or other
consideration, or by way of dividend.

     (c) Provisions relating to Floating Rate Non-Cumulative Preferred Stock,
Series A. (Liquidation value $1,000,000 per share.)

     1. Designation: The distinctive designation of the series established
hereby shall be "Floating Rate Non-Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series A"
(hereinafter called "Series A Preferred Stock").

     2. Number: The number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall
initially be 250 shares. Shares of Series A Preferred Stock redeemed, purchased
or otherwise acquired by the corporation shall be cancelled and shall revert to
authorized but unissued Series Preferred Stock undesignated as to series.

     3. Dividends:

     (a) Dividend Payments Dates. Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall
be entitled to receive non-cumulative cash dividends when, as and if declared
by the Board of Directors of the corporation, out of funds legally available
therefor, from the date of original


<PAGE>


issuance of such shares (the "Issue Date") and such dividends will be payable
on March 28, June 28, September 28 and December 28 of each year ("Dividend
Payment Date") commencing September 28, 1990, at a rate per annum as determined
in paragraph 3(b) below. The period beginning on the Issue Date and ending on
the day preceding the first Dividend Payment Date and each successive period
beginning on a Dividend Payment Date and ending on the date preceding the next
succeeding Dividend Payment Date is herein called a "Dividend Period". If any
Dividend Payment Date shall be, in The City of New York, a Sunday or a legal
holiday or a day on which banking institutions are authorized by law to close,
then payment will be postponed to the next succeeding business day with the
same force and effect as if made on the Dividend Payment Date, and no interest
shall accrue for such Dividend Period after such Dividend Payment Date.

     (b) Dividend Rate. The dividend rate from time to time payable in respect
of Series A Preferred Stock (the "Dividend Rate") shall be determined on the
basis of the following provisions:

     (i) On the Dividend Determination Date, LIBOR will be determined on the
basis of the offered rates for deposits in U.S. dollars having a maturity of
three months commencing on the second London Business Day immediately following
such Dividend Determination Date, as such rates appear on the Reuters Screen
LIBO Page as of 11:00 A.M. London time, on such Dividend Determination Date. If
at least two such offered rates appear on the Reuters Screen LIBO Page, LIBOR
in respect of such Dividend Determination Dates will be the arithmetic mean
(rounded to the nearest one-hundredth of a percent, with five one-thousandths
of a percent rounded upwards) of such offered rates. If fewer than those
offered rates appear, LIBOR in respect of such Dividend Determination Date will
be determined as described in paragraph (ii) below.

     (ii) On any Dividend Determination Date on which fewer than those offered
rates for the applicable maturity appear on the Reuters Screen LIBO Page as
specified in paragraph (I) above, LIBOR will be determined on the basis of the
rates at which deposits in U.S. dollars having a maturity of three months
commencing on the second London Business Day immediately following such
Dividend Determination Date and in a principal amount of not less than
$1,000,000 that is representative of a single transaction in such market at
such time are offered by three major banks in the London interbank market
selected by the corporation at approximately 11:00 A.M., London time, on such
Dividend Determination Date to prime banks in the London market. The
corporation will request the principal London office of each of such banks to
provide a quotation of its rate. If at least two such quotations are provided,
LIBOR in respect of such Dividend Determination Date will be the arithmetic
mean (rounded to the nearest one-hundredth of a percent, with five
one-thousandths of a percent rounded upwards) of such quotations. If fewer than
two quotations are provided, LIBOR in respect of such Dividend Determination
Date will be the arithmetic mean (rounded to the nearest one-hundredth of a
percent, with five one-thousandths of a percent rounded upwards) of the rates
quoted by three major banks in New York City selected by the corporation at
approximately 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on such Dividend Determination
Date for loans in U.S. dollars to leading European banks having a maturity of
three months commencing on the second London Business Day immediately following
such Dividend Determination Date and in a principal amount of not less than
$1,000,000 that is representative of a single transaction in such market at
such time; provided, however, that if the banks selected as aforesaid by the
corporation are not quoting as aforementioned in this sentence, then, with
respect to such Dividend Period, LIBOR for the preceding Dividend Period will
be continued as LIBOR for such Dividend Period.

     (iii) The Dividend Rate for any Dividend Period shall be equal to the lower
of 18% or 50 basis points above LIBOR for such Dividend Period as LIBOR is
determined by sections (I) or (ii) above.

As used above, the term "Dividend Determination Date" shall mean, with respect
to any Dividend Period, the second London Business Day prior to the
commencement of such Dividend Period; and


<PAGE>


the term "London Business Day" shall mean any day that is not a Saturday or
Sunday and that, in New York City, is not a day on which banking institutions
generally are authorized or required by law or executive order to close and
that is a day on which dealings in deposits in U.S. dollars are transacted in
the London interbank market.

     4. Voting Rights: The holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall have
the voting power and rights set forth in this paragraph 4 and shall have no
other voting power or rights except as otherwise may from time to time be
required by law.

     So long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the
corporation shall not, without the affirmative vote or consent of the holders
of at least a majority of the votes of the Series Preferred Stock entitled to
vote outstanding at the time, given in person or by proxy, either in writing or
by resolution adopted at a meeting at which the holders of Series A Preferred
Stock (alone or together with the holders of one or more other series of Series
Preferred Stock at the time outstanding and entitled to vote) vote separately
as a class, alter the provisions of the Series Preferred Stock so as to
materially adversely affect its rights; provided, however, that in the event
any such materially adverse alteration affects the rights of only the Series A
Preferred Stock, then the alteration may be effected with the vote or consent
of at least a majority of the votes of the Series A Preferred Stock; provided,
further, that an increase in the amount of the authorized Series Preferred
Stock and/or the creation and/or issuance of other series of Series Preferred
Stock in accordance with the organization certificate shall not be, nor be
deemed to be, materially adverse alterations. In connection with the exercise
of the voting rights contained in the preceding sentence, holders of all series
of Series Preferred Stock which are granted such voting rights (of which the
Series A Preferred Stock is the initial series) shall vote as a class (except
as specifically provided otherwise) and each holder of Series A Preferred Stock
shall have one vote for each share of stock held and each other series shall
have such number of votes, if any, for each share of stock held as may be
granted to them.

     The foregoing voting provisions will not apply if, in connection with the
matters specified, provision is made for the redemption or retirement of all
outstanding Series A Preferred Stock.

     5. Liquidation: Subject to the provisions of section (b) of this Article
III, upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the corporation,
whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock
shall have preference and priority over the Common Stock for payment out of the
assets of the corporation or proceeds thereof, whether from capital or surplus,
of $1,000,000 per share (the "liquidation value") together with the amount of
all dividends accrued and unpaid thereon, and after such payment the holders of
Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to no other payments.

     6. Redemption: Subject to the provisions of section (b) of this Article
III, Series A Preferred Stock may be redeemed, at the option of the corporation
in whole or part, at any time or from time to time at a redemption price of
$1,000,000 per share, in each case plus accrued and unpaid dividends to the
date of redemption.

     At the option of the corporation, shares of Series A Preferred Stock
redeemed or otherwise acquired may be restored to the status of authorized but
unissued shares of Series Preferred Stock.

     In the case of any redemption, the corporation shall give notice of such
redemption to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed in the
following manner: a notice specifying the shares to be redeemed and the time
and place of redemption (and, if less than the total outstanding shares are to
be redeemed, specifying the certificate numbers and number of shares to be
redeemed) shall be mailed by first class mail, addressed to the holders of
record of the


<PAGE>


Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed at their respective addresses as the
same shall appear upon the books of the corporation, not more than sixty (60)
days and not less than thirty (30) days previous to the date fixed for
redemption. In the event such notice is not given to any shareholder such
failure to give notice shall not affect the notice given to other shareholders.
If less than the whole amount of outstanding Series A Preferred Stock is to be
redeemed, the shares to be redeemed shall be selected by lot or pro rata in any
manner determined by resolution of the Board of Directors to be fair and
proper. From and after the date fixed in any such notice as the date of
redemption (unless default shall be made by the corporation in providing moneys
at the time and place of redemption for the payment of the redemption price)
all dividends upon the Series A Preferred Stock so called for redemption shall
cease to accrue, and all rights of the holders of said Series A Preferred Stock
as stockholders in the corporation, except the right to receive the redemption
price (without interest) upon surrender of the certificate representing the
Series A Preferred Stock so called for redemption, duly endorsed for transfer,
if required, shall cease and terminate. The corporation's obligation to provide
moneys in accordance with the preceding sentence shall be deemed fulfilled if,
on or before the redemption date, the corporation shall deposit with a bank or
trust company (which may be an affiliate of the corporation) having an office
in the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York, having a capital and surplus of
at least $5,000,000 funds necessary for such redemption, in trust with
irrevocable instructions that such funds be applied to the redemption of the
shares of Series A Preferred Stock so called for redemption. Any interest
accrued on such funds shall be paid to the corporation from time to time. Any
funds so deposited and unclaimed at the end of two (2) years from such
redemption date shall be released or repaid to the corporation, after which the
holders of such shares of Series A Preferred Stock so called for redemption
shall look only to the corporation for payment of the redemption price.

properly come before the meeting shall be held on the third Tuesday in April of
each year, if not a legal holiday, and if a legal holiday then on the next
succeeding business day, at such hour as shall be designated by the Board of
Directors. If no other hour shall be so designated such meeting shall be held
at 3 P.M.

SECTION 1.02 Special Meetings. Special meetings of the shareholders, except
those regulated otherwise by statute, may be called at any time by the Board of
Directors, or by any person or committee expressly so authorized by the Board
of Directors and by no other person or persons.

SECTION 1.03 Place of Meetings. Meetings of shareholders shall be held at such
place within or without the State of New York as shall be determined from time
to time by the Board of Directors or, in the case of special meetings, by such
person or persons as may be authorized to call a meeting. The place in which
each meeting is to be held shall be specified in the notice of such meeting.

SECTION 1.04 Notice of Meetings. A copy of the written notice of the place,
date and hour of each meeting of shareholders shall be given personally or by
mail, not less than ten nor more than fifty days before the date of the
meeting, to each shareholder entitled to vote at such meeting. Notice of a
special meeting shall indicate that it is being issued by or at the direction
of the person or persons calling the meeting and shall also state the purpose
or purposes for which the meeting is called. Notice of any meeting at which is
proposed to take action which would entitle shareholders to receive payment for
their shares pursuant to statutory provisions must include a statement of that
purpose and to that effect. If mailed, such notices of the annual and each
special meeting are given when deposited in the United States mail, postage
prepaid, directed to the shareholder at his address as it appears in the record
of shareholders unless he shall have filed with the Secretary of the
corporation a written request that notices intended for him shall be mailed to
some other address, in which case it shall be directed to him at such other
address.

entitled to notice of or to vote any meeting of shareholders or any adjournment
thereof, or to express consent to or dissent from any proposal without a

any other action, the Board of Directors may fix, in advance, a date as the
record date for any such determination of shareholders. Such date shall not be
more than fifty nor less than ten days before the date of such meeting, nor
more than fifty days prior to any other action.

SECTION 1.06 Quorum. The presence, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a
majority of the shares entitled to vote thereat shall constitute a quorum at a
meeting of shareholders for the transaction of business, except as otherwise
provided by statute, by the Certificate of Incorporation or by the By-Laws. The
shareholders present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at any meeting,
despite the absence of a quorum, shall have power to adjourn the meeting from
time to time, to a designated time and place, without notice other than by
announcement at the meeting, and at any adjourned meeting any business may be
transacted that might have been transacted on the original date of the meeting.
However, if after the adjournment the Board of Directors fixes a new record
date for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be
given to each shareholder of record on the new record date entitled to notice.

SECTION 1.07 Notice of Shareholder Business at Annual Meeting. At an annual
meeting of shareholders, only such business shall be conducted as shall have
been brought before the meeting (a) by or at the direction of the Board of
Directors or (b) by any shareholder of the corporation who complies with the
notice procedures set forth in this Section 1.07. For business to be properly
brought before an annual meeting by a shareholder, the shareholder must have
given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary of the corporation. To
be timely, a shareholder's notice must be delivered to or mailed and received
at the principal executive offices of the corporation not less than thirty days
nor more than fifty days prior to the meeting; provided, however, that in the
event that less than forty days' notice or prior public disclosure of the date
of the meeting is given or made to shareholders, notice by the shareholder to

day following the day on which such notice of the date of the annual meeting
was mailed or such public disclosure was made. A shareholder's notice to the
Secretary shall set forth as to each matter the shareholder proposes to bring
before the annual meeting (a) a brief description of the business desired to be
brought before the annual meeting and the reasons for conducting such business
at the annual meeting, (b) the name and address, as they appear on the
corporation's books, of the shareholder proposing such business, (c) the class
and number of shares of the corporation which are beneficially owned by the
shareholder and (d) any material interest of the shareholder in such business.
Notwithstanding anything in these By-Laws to the contrary, no business shall be
conducted at an annual meeting except in accordance with the procedures set
forth in this Section 1.07 and Section 2.03. The Chairman of an annual meeting
shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that business
was not properly brought before the meeting and in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 1.07 and Section 2.03, and if he should so
determine, he shall so declare to the meeting and any such business not
properly brought before the meeting shall not be transacted.

                                   ARTICLE II

                               BOARD OF DIRECTORS

SECTION 2.01 Number and Qualifications. The business of the corporation shall

entire Board of Directors shall be not less than seven nor more than fifteen,
as shall be fixed from time to time by vote of a majority of the entire Board
of Directors. Each director shall be at least 21 years of age. Directors need
not be shareholders. No Officer-Director who shall have attained age 65, or
earlier relinquishes his responsibilities and title, shall be eligible to serve

SECTION 2.02 Election. At each annual meeting of shareholders, directors shall
be elected by a plurality of the votes to hold office until the next annual
meeting. Subject to the provisions of the statute, of the Certificate of
Incorporation and of the By-Laws, each director shall hold office until the
expiration of the term for which elected, and until his successor has been
elected and qualified.

SECTION 2.03 Nomination and Notification of Nomination. Subject to the rights
of holders of any class or series of stock having a preference over the Common
Stock as to dividends or upon liquidation, nominations for the election of
directors may be made by the Board of Directors or to any committee


<PAGE>


appointed by the Board of Directors or by any shareholder entitled to vote in
the election of directors generally. However, any shareholder entitled to vote
in the election of directors generally may nominate one or more persons for
election as directors at a meeting only if written notice of such shareholder's
intent to make such nomination or nominations has been given, either by
personal delivery or by United States mail, postage prepaid, to the Secretary
of the corporation not later than (i) with respect to an election to be held at
an annual meeting of shareholders ninety days in advance of such meeting, and
(ii) with respect to an election to be held at a special meeting of
shareholders for the election of directors, the close of business on the
seventh day following the date on which notice of such meeting is first given
to shareholders. Each such notice shall set forth: (a) the name and address of
the shareholder who intends to make the nomination and of the person or persons
to be nominated; (b) a representation that the shareholder is a holder of
record of stock of the corporation entitled to vote at such meeting and intends
to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to nominate the person or
persons specified in the notice; (c) a description of all arrangements or
understandings between the shareholder and each nominee and any other person or
persons (naming such person or persons) pursuant to which the nomination or
nominations are to be made by the shareholder; (d) such other information
regarding each nominee proposed by such shareholder as would be required to be
included in a proxy statement filed pursuant to the proxy rules of the
Securities and Exchange Commission, had the nominee been nominated, or intended
to be nominated, by the Board of Directors; and (e) the consent of each nominee
to serve as a director of the corporation if so elected. At the request of the
Board of Directors, any person nominated by the Board of Directors for election
as a director shall furnish to the Secretary of the corporation that
information required to be set forth in a shareholder's notice of nomination
which pertains to the nominee. No person shall be eligible for election as a
director of the corporation unless nominated in accordance with the procedures
set forth in the By-Laws. The Chairman of the meeting shall, if the facts
warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that a nomination was not made in
accordance with the procedures prescribed by these By-Laws, and if he should so
determine, he shall so declare to the meeting and the defective nomination
shall be disregarded.

SECTION 2.04 Regular Meetings. Regular meetings of the Board of Directors may
be held without notice at such places and times as may be fixed from time to
time by resolution of the Board and a regular meeting for the purpose of
organization and transaction of other business shall be held each year after
the adjournment of the annual meeting of shareholders.

SECTION 2.05 Special Meetings. The Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive
Officer, the President, the Senior Vice Chairman or any Vice Chairman may, and
at the request of three directors shall, call a special meeting of the Board of
Directors, two days' notice of which shall be given in person or by mail,
telegraph, radio, telephone or cable. Notice of a special meeting need not be
given to any director who submits a signed waiver of notice whether before or
after the meeting, or who attends the meeting without protesting, prior thereto
or at its commencement, the lack of notice to him.

SECTION 2.06 Place of Meeting. The directors may hold their meetings, have one
or more offices, and keep the books of the corporation (except as may be
provided by law) at any place, either within or without the State of New York,
as they may from time to time determine.

SECTION 2.07 Quorum and Vote. At all meetings of the Board of Directors the
presence of one-third of the entire Board, but not less than two directors,
shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. Any one or more
members of the Board of Directors or of any committee thereof may participate
in a meeting of the Board of Directors or a committee thereof by means of a
conference telephone or similar communications equipment which allows all
persons participating in the meeting to hear each other at the same time.
Participation by such means shall constitute presence in person at such a
meeting. The vote of a majority of the directors present at the time of the
vote, if a quorum is present at such time, shall be the act of the Board of
Directors, except as may be otherwise provided by statute or the By-Laws.


<PAGE>


SECTION 2.08 Vacancies. Newly created directorships resulting from increase in
the number of directors and vacancies in the Board of Directors, whether caused
by resignation, death, removal or otherwise, may be filled by vote of a

SECTION 5.01 The corporation shall, to the fullest extent permitted by Section
721 of the New York Business Corporation Law, indemnify any person who is or
was made, or threatened to be made, a party to an action or proceeding, whether
civil or criminal, whether involving any actual or alleged breach of duty,
neglect or error, any accountability, or any actual or alleged misstatement,
misleading statement or other act or omission and whether brought or threatened
in any court or administrative or legislative body or agency, including an
action by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor
and an action by or in the right of any other corporation of any type or kind,
domestic or foreign, or any partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit
plan or other enterprise, which any director or officer of the corporation is
serving or served in any capacity at the request of the corporation by reason
of the fact that he, his testator or intestate, is or was a director or officer
of the corporation, or is serving or served


<PAGE>


such other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit
plan or other enterprise in any capacity, against judgments, fines, amounts
paid in settlement, and costs, charges and expenses, including attorneys' fees,
or any appeal therein; provided, however, that no indemnification shall be
provided to any such person if a judgment or other final adjudication adverse
to the director or officer establishes that (i) his acts were committed in bad
faith or were the result of active and deliberate dishonesty and, in either
case, were material to the cause of action so adjudicated, or (ii) he
personally gained in fact a financial profit or other advantage to which he was
not legally entitled.

SECTION 5.02 The corporation may indemnify any other person to whom the
corporation is permitted to provide indemnification or the advancement of
expenses by applicable law, whether pursuant to rights granted pursuant to, or
provided by, the New York Business Corporation Law or other rights created by
(i) a resolution of shareholders, (ii) a resolution of directors, or (iii) an
agreement providing for such indemnification, it being expressly intended that
these By-Laws authorize the creation of other rights in any such manner.

SECTION 5.03 The corporation shall, from time to time, reimburse or advance to
any person referred to in Section 5.01 the funds necessary for payment of
expenses, including attorneys' fees, incurred in connection with any action or
proceeding referred to in Section 5.01, upon receipt of a written undertaking
by or on behalf of such person to repay such amount(s) if a judgment or other
final adjudication adverse to the director or officer establishes that (i) his
acts were committed in bad faith or were the result of active and deliberate
dishonesty and, in either case, were material to the cause of action so
adjudicated, or (ii) he personally gained in fact a financial profit or other
advantage to which he was not legally entitled.

SECTION 5.04 Any director or officer of the corporation serving (i) another
corporation, of which a majority of the shares entitled to vote in the election
of its directors is held by the corporation, or (ii) any employee benefit plan
of the corporation or any corporation referred to in clause (i), in any
capacity shall be deemed to be doing so at the request of the corporation. In
all other cases, the provisions of this Article V will apply (i) only if the
person serving another corporation or any partnership, joint venture, trust,
employee benefit plan or other enterprise so served at the specific request of
the corporation, evidenced by a written communication signed by the Chairman of
the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, the President, the Senior Vice Chairman
or any Vice Chairman, and (ii) only if and to the extent that, after making
such efforts as the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, or the
President shall deem adequate in the circumstances, such person shall be unable
to obtain indemnification from such other enterprise or its insurer.

SECTION 5.05 Any person entitled to be indemnified or to the reimbursement or
advancement of expenses as a matter of right pursuant to this Article V may
elect to have the right to indemnification (or advancement of expenses)
interpreted on the basis of the applicable law in effect at the time of the
occurrence of the event or events giving rise to the action or proceeding, to
the extent permitted by law, or on the basis of the applicable law in effect at
the time indemnification is sought.

SECTION 5.06 The right to be indemnified or to the reimbursement or advancement
of expenses pursuant to this Article V (i) is a contract right pursuant to
which the person entitled thereto may bring suit as if the provisions hereof
were set forth in a separate written contract between the corporation and the
director or officer, (ii) is intended to be retroactive and shall be available
with respect to events occurring prior to the adoption hereof, and (iii) shall
continue to exist after the rescission or restrictive modification hereof with
respect to events occurring prior thereto.

SECTION 5.07 If a request to be indemnified or for the reimbursement or
advancement of expenses pursuant hereto is not paid in full by the corporation
within thirty days after a written claim has been received by the corporation,
the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the corporation to
recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if successful in whole or in part,
the claimant shall be entitled

also to be paid the expenses of prosecuting such claim. Neither the failure of
the corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel,
or its shareholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of
such action that indemnification of or reimbursement or advancement of expenses
to the claimant is proper in the circumstances, nor an actual determination by
the corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel,
or its shareholders) that the claimant is not entitled to indemnification or to
the reimbursement or advancement of expenses, shall be a defense to the action
or create a presumption that the claimant is not so entitled.

SECTION 5.08 A person who has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, in
the defense of a civil or criminal action or proceeding of the character
described in Section 5.01 shall be entitled to indemnification only as provided
in Sections 5.01 and 5.03, notwithstanding any provision of the New York
Business Corporation Law to the contrary.

thereof. The signatures of the officers upon the certificate may be facsimiles
