                                  THE COMPANY

   We are a research-based global pharmaceutical company. We discover, develop,
manufacture and market innovative medicines for humans and animals.

   We operate in two business segments:

   Pharmaceutical, which includes our human pharmaceutical, animal health and
capsule businesses; and

   Consumer Products, which includes our consumer healthcare products,
confectionery products, shaving products and our ornamental fish food and fish
care products.

   All references to us in this prospectus include Pfizer Inc. and its
subsidiaries, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

   Our financial information described in this prospectus has been restated to
reflect our merger with Warner-Lambert Company, which was completed on June 19,
2000.

   Our principal executive offices are located at 235 East 42nd Street, New
York, NY 10017 and our telephone number is (212) 573-2323.

                       RATIO OF EARNINGS TO FIXED CHARGES

   Our consolidated ratio of earnings to fixed charges for the six months ended
July 2, 2000 and for each of the fiscal years ended December 31, 1995 through
1999 is set forth below. For the purpose of computing these ratios, "earnings"
consist of income before provision for taxes on income and minority interests
less minority interests and less undistributed earnings (losses) of
unconsolidated subsidiaries adjusted for fixed charges, excluding capitalized
interest. "Fixed charges" consist of interest expense, amortization of debt
discount and expenses, capitalized interest and one-third of rental expense
which we believe to be a conservative estimate of an interest factor in its
leases. It is not practicable to calculate the interest factor in a material
portion of our leases. The ratio was calculated by dividing the sum of the
fixed charges into the sum of the earnings before taxes and fixed charges.

                                USE OF PROCEEDS

   Unless the applicable prospectus supplement indicates otherwise, we intend
to use net proceeds from the sale of the debt securities for general corporate
purposes, including the refinancing of existing debt. We may temporarily invest
funds that are not immediately needed for these purposes in short-term
marketable securities.

                         DESCRIPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES

   The debt securities covered by this prospectus will be our direct unsecured
obligations. The debt securities will be issued in one or more series under an
indenture to be entered into between us and The Chase Manhattan Bank, as
Trustee.


                                       2
<PAGE>

   This prospectus briefly outlines some of the indenture provisions. The
indenture has been filed as an exhibit to the registration statement and you
should read the indenture carefully for provisions that may be important to
you.

   We may issue the debt securities as original issue discount securities,
which will be offered and sold at a substantial discount below their stated
principal amount. A prospectus supplement relating to original issue discount
securities will describe Federal income tax consequences and other special
considerations applicable to them. The debt securities may also be issued as
indexed securities or securities denominated in foreign currencies or currency
units, as described in more detail in a prospectus supplement relating to any
of these types of debt securities. A prospectus supplement relating to indexed
debt securities or foreign currency debt securities will also describe any
additional tax consequences or other special considerations applicable to these
types of debt securities.

   In addition, the material specific financial, legal and other terms
particular to debt securities of each series will be described in the
prospectus supplement relating to the debt securities of that series.

General

   The debt securities will rank equally with all of our other unsecured and
unsubordinated debt. The indenture does not limit the amount of debt we may
issue under the indenture or otherwise. We may issue the debt securities in one
or more series with the same or various maturities, at par or a premium or with
original issue discount.

   The prospectus supplement relating to any debt securities being offered will
include specific terms relating to the offering. These terms will include some
or all of the following:

  .  the title and type of the debt securities;

  .  the total principal amount of the debt securities;

  .  the percentage of the principal amount at which the debt securities will
     be issued and any payments due if the maturity of the debt securities is
     accelerated;

  .  the date or dates on which the principal of the debt securities will be
     payable;

  .  whether the debt securities will be denominated in, and whether the
     principal of and any premium and any interest on the debt securities
     will be payable in, U.S. dollars or any foreign currency or foreign
     currency units;

  .  the interest rate or rates, if any, which the debt securities will bear,
     the date or dates from which any interest will accrue, the interest
     payment dates for the debt securities and the regular record date for
     any interest payable on any interest payment date;

  .  any index or other special method we will use to determine the amount of
     principal or any premium or interest we will pay on the debt securities
     of the series;

  .  any optional or mandatory redemption periods;

  .  any sinking fund or other provisions that would obligate us to
     repurchase or otherwise redeem the debt securities;

  .  whether the debt securities are to be issued in individual certificates
     to each holder or in the form of global securities held by a depositary
     on behalf of holders;

  .  any addition to, or modification or deletion of, any event of default or
     any covenant specified in the indenture;

  .  any special tax implications of the debt securities, including
     provisions for original issue discount securities, if offered;

                                       3
<PAGE>

  .  any terms upon which the debt securities may be convertible into or
     exchanged for other debt securities or indebtedness or other securities
     of any other issuer or obligor; and

  .  any other specific terms of the debt securities.

   The prospectus supplement relating to the debt securities of the series
will be attached to the front of this prospectus.

   We may issue debt securities other than the debt securities described in
this prospectus. There is no requirement that any other debt securities that
we issue be issued under the indenture. Thus, any other debt securities that
we issue may be issued under other indentures or documentation, containing
provisions different from those included in the indenture or applicable to one
or more issues of the debt securities described in this prospectus.

Consolidation, Merger or Sale

   We have agreed not to consolidate with or merge into any other corporation
or convey or transfer or lease substantially all of our properties and assets
to any person, unless:

      (a) the successor corporation expressly assumes by a supplemental
  indenture the due and punctual payment of the principal of and any premium
  or any interest on all the debt securities and the performance of every
  covenant in the indenture that we would otherwise have to perform as if it
  were an original party to the indenture; and

      (b) we deliver to the trustee an officers' certificate and an opinion
  of counsel, each stating that the consolidation, merger, conveyance or
  transfer and the supplemental indenture comply with these provisions.

   The successor corporation will assume all our obligations under the
indenture as if it were an original party to the indenture. After assuming
such obligations, the successor corporation will have all our rights and
powers under the indenture.

Modification of Indenture

   Under the indenture our rights and obligations and the rights of the
holders may be modified if the holders of a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the outstanding debt securities of each series affected by the
modification consent to it. No modification of the maturity date or principal
or interest payment terms, no modification of the currency for payment, no
impairment of the right to sue for the enforcement of payment at the maturity
of the debt security, no modification of any conversion rights and no
modification reducing the percentage required for modifications or modifying
the foregoing requirements or reducing the percentage required to waive certain
specified covenants, is effective against any holder without its consent.

Events of Default

   When we use the term "Event of Default" in the indenture, here are some
examples of what we mean.

   An Event of Default occurs if:

  .  we fail to make the principal or any premium payment on any debt
     security when due;

  .  we fail to make any sinking fund payment for 60 days after payment was
     due;

  .  we fail to pay interest on any debt security for 60 days after payment
     was due;

  .  we fail to perform any other covenant in the indenture and this failure
     continues for 90 days after we receive written notice of it; or


                                       4
<PAGE>

  .  we or a court take certain actions relating to the bankruptcy,
     insolvency or reorganization of our company.

   The supplemental indenture or the form of security for a particular series
of debt securities may include additional Events of Default or changes to the
Events of Default described above. The Events of Default applicable to a
particular series of debt securities will be discussed in the prospectus
supplement relating to such series. A default under our other indebtedness will
not be a default under the indenture for the debt securities covered by this
prospectus, and a default under one series of debt securities will not
necessarily be a default under another series. The trustee may withhold notice
to the holders of debt securities of any default (except for defaults that
involve our failure to pay principal or interest) if it considers such
withholding of notice to be in the best interests of the holders.

   If an Event of Default for any series of debt securities occurs and
continues, the trustee or the holders of at least 33% in aggregate principal
amount of the outstanding debt securities of the series may require us to repay
immediately:

  .  the entire principal of the debt securities of such series; or

  .  if the debt securities are discounted securities, such portion of the
     principal as may be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

   Subject to certain conditions, the holders of a majority of the aggregate
principal amount of the debt securities of the affected series can rescind this
accelerated payment requirement.

   Other than its duties in case of a default, the trustee is not obligated to
exercise any of its rights or powers under the indenture at the request, order
or direction of any holders, unless the holders offer the trustee reasonable
indemnity. If they provide this reasonable indemnity, the holders of a majority
in principal amount outstanding of any series of debt securities may, subject
to certain limitations, direct the time, method and place of conducting any
proceeding or any remedy available to the trustee, or exercising any power
conferred upon the trustee, for any series of debt securities.

Payment and Transfer

   We will pay principal, interest and any premium on fully registered
securities at the place or places designated by us for such purposes. We will
make payment to the persons in whose names the debt securities are registered
on the close of business on the day or days specified by us. Any other payments
will be made as set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. Holders may
transfer or exchange fully registered securities at the corporate trust office
of the trustee or at any other office or agency maintained by us for such
purposes, without the payment of any service charge except for any tax or
governmental charge.

Global Securities

   We may issue the securities in whole or in part in the form of one or more
global securities that will be deposited with, or on behalf of, a depositary
identified in the applicable prospectus supplement. We may issue the global
securities in either registered or bearer form in either temporary or permanent
form. We will describe the specific terms of the depositary arrangement with
respect to a series of securities in the applicable prospectus supplement.

   You may transfer or exchange certificated securities at any office we
maintain for this purpose in accordance with the terms of the indenture. We
will not charge a service fee for any transfer or exchange of certificated
securities, but we may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or
other governmental charge we are required to pay in connection with a transfer
or exchange.

   You may effect the transfer of certificated securities and the right to
receive the principal, premium and interest on certificated securities only by
surrendering the certificate representing those certificated securities

                                       5
<PAGE>

and either reissuance by us or the trustee of the certificate to the new holder
or the issuance by us or the trustee of a new certificate to the new holder.

   We are not required to:

  .   register, transfer or exchange securities of any series during a period
      beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day we transmit
      a notice of redemption of securities of the series selected for
      redemption and ending at the close of business on the day of the
      transmission, or

  .   to register, transfer or exchange any security so selected for
      redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any
      security being redeemed in part.

   The applicable prospectus supplement will describe the specific terms of the
depositary arrangement with respect to the applicable securities of that
series. We anticipate that the following provisions will apply to all
depositary arrangements.

   Once a global security is issued, the depositary will credit on its book-
entry system the respective principal amounts of the individual securities
represented by that global security to the accounts of institutions that have
accounts with the depositary. These institutions are known as participants. The
underwriters for the securities will designate the accounts to be credited.
However, if we have offered or sold the securities either directly or through
agents, we or the agents will designate the appropriate accounts to be
credited.

   Ownership of beneficial interest in a global security will be limited to
participants or persons that may hold beneficial interests through
participants. Ownership of beneficial interest in a global security will be
shown on, and the transfer of that ownership will be effected only through,
records maintained by the depositary's participants or persons that hold
through participants. The laws of some states require that certain purchasers
of securities take physical delivery of securities. Such limits and such laws
may limit the market for beneficial interests in a global security.

   So long as the depositary for a global security, or its nominee, is the
registered owner of a global security, the depositary or nominee will be
considered the sole owner or holder of the securities represented by the global
security for all purposes under the indenture. Except as provided in the
applicable prospectus supplement, owners of beneficial interests in a global
security:

  .   will not be entitled to have securities represented by global
      securities registered in their names;

  .   will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of
      securities in definitive form; and

  .   will not be considered owners or holders of these securities under the
      indenture.

   Payments of principal, any premium and interest on the individual securities
registered in the name of the depositary or its nominee will be made to the
depositary or its nominee as the holder of that global security. Neither we nor
the trustee will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the
records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership
interests of a global security, or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing
any records relating to beneficial ownership interests and each of us and the
trustee may act or refrain from acting without liability on any information
provided by the depositary.

   We expect that the depositary, after receiving any payment of principal, any
premium or interest in respect of a global security, will immediately credit
the accounts of the participants with payment in amounts proportionate to their
respective holdings in principal amount of beneficial interest in a global
security as shown on the records of the depositary. We also expect that
payments by participants to owners of beneficial interests in a global security
will be governed by standing customer instructions and customary practices, as
is now the case with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer
form or registered in "street name," and will be the responsibility of such
participants.


                                       6
<PAGE>

   Debt securities represented by a global security will be exchangeable for
debt securities in definitive form of like tenor in authorized denominations
only if the depositary notifies us that it is unwilling or unable to continue
as the depositary and a successor depositary is not appointed by us within 90
days or we, in our discretion, determine not to require all of the debt
securities of a series to be represented by a global security and notify the
trustee of our decision.

Defeasance

   When we use the term defeasance, we mean discharge from some or all of our
obligations under the indenture. If we deposit with the trustee sufficient cash
or government securities to pay the principal, interest, any premium and any
other sums due to the stated maturity date or a redemption date of the debt
securities of a particular series, then at our option:

  .   we will be discharged from our obligations with respect to the debt
      securities of such series; or

  .  we will no longer be under any obligation to comply with certain
     restrictive covenants under the indenture, and certain Events of Default
     will no longer apply to us.

   If this happens, the holders of the debt securities of the affected series
will not be entitled to the benefits of the indenture except for registration
of transfer and exchange of debt securities and replacement of lost, stolen or
mutilated debt securities. Such holders may look only to such deposited funds
or obligations for payment.

   To exercise our defeasance option, we must deliver to the trustee an opinion
of counsel to the effect that the deposit and related defeasance would not
cause the holders of the debt securities to recognize income, gain or loss for
Federal income tax purposes. We must also deliver any ruling to such effect
received from or published by the United States Internal Revenue Service if we
are discharged from our obligations with respect to the debt securities.

Concerning the Trustee

   The trustee has provided banking and investment services to us in the past
and may do so in the future as a part of its regular business.

                              PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

   We may sell the offered debt securities

  .  through underwriters or dealers;

  .  through agents;

  .  directly to one or more purchasers; or

  .  through a number of direct sales or auctions performed by utilizing the
     Internet or a bidding or ordering system.

   We may distribute the securities from time to time in one or more
transactions at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed, or at market
prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing
market prices or at negotiated prices.

Sale Through Underwriters

   If we use underwriters in the sale, such underwriters will acquire the debt
securities for their own account. The underwriters may resell the securities in
one or more transactions, including negotiated transactions, at a

                                       7
<PAGE>

fixed public offering price or at varying prices determined at the time of
sale. The obligations of the underwriters to purchase the securities will be
subject to certain conditions. The underwriters will be obligated to purchase
all the securities of the series offered if any of the securities are
purchased. The underwriters may change from time to time any initial public
offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or re-allowed or paid
to dealers.

Sale Through Agents

   We may sell offered debt securities through agents designated by us. Unless
indicated in the prospectus supplement, the agents have agreed to use their
reasonable best efforts to solicit purchases for the period of their
appointment.

Direct Sales

   We may also sell offered debt securities directly. In this case, no
underwriters or agents would be involved.

Sale Through the Internet

   We may from time to time offer debt securities directly to the public, with
or without the involvement of agents, underwriters or dealers, and may utilize
the Internet or another electronic bidding or ordering system for the pricing
and allocation of such debt securities. Such a system may allow bidders to
directly participate, through electronic access to an auction site, by
submitting conditional offers to buy that are subject to acceptance by us, and
which may directly affect the price or other terms at which such securities are
sold.

   Such a bidding or ordering system may present to each bidder, on a real-time
basis, relevant information to assist you in making a bid, such as the clearing
spread at which the offering would be sold, based on the bids submitted, and
whether a bidder's individual bids would be accepted, prorated or rejected.
Typically the clearing spread will be indicated as a number of basis points
above an index treasury note. Other pricing methods may also be used. Upon
completion of such an auction process securities will be allocated based on
prices bid, terms of bid or other factors.

   The final offering price at which debt securities would be sold and the
allocation of debt securities among bidders, would be based in whole or in part
on the results of the Internet bidding process or auction. Many variations of
Internet auction or pricing and allocation systems are likely to be developed
in the future, and we may utilize such systems in connection with the sale of
debt securities. The specific rules of such an auction would be distributed to
potential bidders in an applicable prospectus supplement.

   If an offering is made using such a bidding or ordering system you should
review the auction rules, as described in the prospectus supplement, for a more
detailed description of such offering procedures.

General Information

   Underwriters, dealers and agents that participate in the distribution of the
offered securities may be underwriters as defined in the Securities Act of
1933, and any discounts or commissions received by them from us and any profit
on the resale of the offered securities by them may be treated as underwriting
discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. We will identify any
underwriters or agents, and describe their compensation, in a prospectus
supplement.

   We may have agreements with the underwriters, dealers and agents to
indemnify them against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under
the Securities Act, or to contribute with respect to payments which the
underwriters, dealers or agents may be required to make. Underwriters, dealers
and agents may engage in transactions with, or perform services for, us or our
subsidiaries in the ordinary course of their businesses.

                          VALIDITY OF DEBT SECURITIES

   Margaret M. Foran, our Vice President-Corporate Governance and Assistant
Secretary, will pass upon the validity of the debt securities for us.

                                    EXPERTS

   The consolidated balance sheets of Pfizer Inc. and Subsidiary Companies as
of December 31, 1999 and 1998 and the related consolidated statements of
income, shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the years in the three-
year period ended December 31, 1999, restated to give retroactive effect to the
merger on June 19, 2000 with Warner-Lambert Company and its subsidiaries, have
been incorporated by reference herein in reliance upon the report of KPMG LLP,
our independent public accountants, which is based in part upon the report of
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, independent public accountants for Warner-Lambert
Company. We incorporate these consolidated financial statements in this
prospectus and we do so in reliance upon the reports of KPMG LLP and
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (incorporated by reference herein) and upon their
authority as experts in auditing and accounting.

   With respect to the unaudited interim financial information for the periods
ended April 2 and July 2, 2000, incorporated by reference, the independent
certified public accountants have reported that they applied limited procedures
in accordance with professional standards for a review of such information.
However, their separate reports included in our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q
for the quarters ended April 2 and July 2, 2000, and incorporated by reference,
state that they did not audit and they do not express an opinion on that
interim financial information. Accordingly, the degree of reliance on their
reports on such information should be restricted in light of the limited nature
of the review procedures applied. The accountants are not subject to the
liability provisions of Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933 for their
reports on the unaudited interim financial information because those reports
are not a "report" or a "part" of the registration statement prepared or
certified by the accountants within the meaning of Sections 7 and 11 of the
Securities Act.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

   Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware permits a corporation
to indemnify any person who is or has been a director, officer, employee or
agent of the corporation or who is or has been serving as director, officer,
employee or agent of another corporation, organization or enterprise at the
request of the corporation, against all liability and expenses (including, but
not limited to, attorneys' fees and disbursements and amounts paid in
settlement or in satisfaction of judgments or as fines or penalties) incurred
or paid in connection with any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil,
criminal, administrative, investigative or otherwise, in which he/she may be
involved by reason of the fact that he/she serves or is serving in these
capacities, if he/she acted in good faith and in a manner he/she reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interest of the corporation and,
with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no cause to believe
his/her conduct was unlawful. In the case of a claim, action, suit or
proceeding made or brought by or in the right of the corporation to procure a
recovery or judgment in its favor, the corporation shall not indemnify such
person in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person has
been adjudged to be liable to the corporation for negligence or misconduct in
the performance of his/her duty to the corporation, except for such expenses as
the court may allow. Any such person who has been wholly successful on the
merits or otherwise with respect to any such claim, action, suit or proceeding
or with respect to any claim, issue or matter therein, shall be indemnified as
of right against all expenses in connection therewith or resulting therefrom.

   Pursuant to Article V, Section 1 of our By-Laws, we will indemnify directors
and officers to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law as it presently
exists or is amended. We are insured against actions taken under our By-Laws
and the directors and officers are insured directly at our expense against such
liabilities for which indemnification is not made. We have entered into
agreements with our directors and certain of our officers requiring us to
indemnify such persons to the fullest extend permitted by our By-Laws.

Item 17. Undertakings:

   The undersigned registrant undertakes:

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

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

       (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;

       (iii) To include any material information relating 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
  registration statement is on Form S-3 or Form S-8, and the information
  required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs
  is contained in periodic reports filed by the registrant pursuant to
  Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are
  incorporated by reference in the registration statement.

     (2) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities
  Act of 1933, 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.

     (4) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities
  Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to
  Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (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) that is
  incorporated by reference in the 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 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, 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 the 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 the Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.

                             Underwriting Agreement

                             ----------------------




                                              [ ]  , 2000



To the Representatives of the
 several Underwriters named in the
 respective Pricing Agreements
 hereinafter described.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

   From time to time Pfizer Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"),
proposes to enter into one or more Pricing Agreements (each a "Pricing
Agreement") in the form of Annex I hereto, with such additions and deletions as
the parties thereto may determine, and subject to the terms and conditions
stated herein and therein, to issue and sell to the firms named in Schedule 1 to
the applicable Pricing Agreement (such firms constituting the "Underwriters"
with respect to such Pricing Agreement and the securities specified therein)
certain of its debt securities (the "Securities") specified in Schedule II to
such Pricing Agreement (with respect to such Pricing Agreement, the "Designated
Securities").

   The terms and rights of any particular issuance of Designated Securities
shall be as specified in the Pricing Agreement relating thereto and in or
pursuant to the indenture (the "Indenture") identified in such Pricing
Agreement.

1. Particular sales of Designated Securities may be made from time to time to
   the Underwriters of such Securities, for whom the firms designated as
   representatives of the Underwriters of such Securities in the Pricing
   Agreement relating thereto will act as representatives (the
   "Representatives"). The term "Representatives" also refers to a single firm
   acting as sole representative of the Underwriters and to Underwriters who act
   without any firm being designated as their representative. This Underwriting
   Agreement shall not be construed as an
<PAGE>

    obligation of the Company to sell any of the Securities or as an obligation
    of any of the Underwriters to purchase the Securities. The obligation of the
    Company to issue and sell any of the Securities and the obligations of any
    of the Underwriters to purchase any of the Securities shall be evidenced by
    the Pricing Agreement with respect to the Designated Securities specified
    therein. Each Pricing Agreement shall specify the aggregate principal amount
    of such Designated Securities, the initial public offering price of such
    Designated Securities, the purchase price to the Underwriters of such
    Designated Securities, the names of the Underwriters of such Designated
    Securities, the names of the Representatives of such Underwriters and the
    principal amount of such Designated Securities to be purchased by each
    Underwriter and shall set forth the date, time and, manner of delivery of
    such Designated Securities and payment therefor. The Pricing Agreement shall
    also specify (to the extent not set forth in the Indenture and the
    registration statement and prospectus with respect thereto) the terms of
    such Designated Securities. A Pricing Agreement shall be in the form of an
    executed writing (which may be in counterparts), and may be evidenced by an
    exchange of telegraphic communications or any other rapid transmission
    device designed to produce a written record of communications transmitted.
    The obligations of the Underwriters under this Agreement and each Pricing
    Agreement shall be several and not joint.

2.  The Company represents and warrants to, and agrees with, each of the
    Underwriters that:

    (a) A registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-______) (the "Initial
        Registration Statement") in respect of the securities has been filed
        with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"); such
        Initial Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment thereto,
        each in the form heretofore delivered or to be delivered to the
        Representatives, excluding exhibits to the Initial Registration
        Statement, but including all documents incorporated by reference in the
        prospectus contained therein, have been declared effective by the
        Commission in such form; no other document with respect to such
        registration statement or document incorporated by reference therein has
        heretofore been filed or transmitted for filing with the Commission
        (other than the prospectuses filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the rules
        and regulations of the Commission under Securities Act of 1933, as
        amended (the "Act"), each in the form heretofore delivered to the
        Representatives on or prior to the date hereof); and no stop order
        suspending the effectiveness of the Initial Registration Statement, any
        post-effective amendment thereto or the Rule 462(b) Registration
        Statement, if any, has been issued and no proceeding for that purpose
        has been initiated or threatened by the Commission (any preliminary
        prospectus included in such registration statement or filed with the
        Commission pursuant to Rule 424(a) of the rules and regulations of the
        Commission under the Act, being hereinafter called a "Preliminary
        Prospectus"; the various parts of the Initial Registration Statement and
        the Rule 462(b) Registration Statement, if any, including all exhibits
        thereto and the documents incorporated by reference in the prospectus
        contained in the registration statement at the time such part of the
        registration statement became effective but excluding Form T-1, each as
        amended at the time such part of the registration statement became
        effective, being hereinafter called the "Registration Statement"; the
        prospectus relating to the Securities, in the form in which it has most
        recently been filed, or transmitted for filing, with the Commission on
        or prior to the date of this Agreement, including such information as is
        incorporated by

                                       2
<PAGE>

        reference, being hereinafter called the "Prospectus"; any reference
        herein to any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus shall be deemed
        to refer to and include the documents incorporated by reference therein
        pursuant to the applicable form under the Act, as the date of such
        Preliminary Prospectus or Prospectus, as the case may be; any reference
        to any amendment or supplement to any Preliminary Prospectus or the
        Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include any documents filed
        after the date of such Preliminary Prospectus or Prospectus, as the case
        may be, under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
        "Exchange Act"), and incorporated by reference in such Preliminary
        Prospectus or Prospectus, as the case may be; any reference to any
        amendment to the Registration Statement shall be deemed to refer to and
        include any annual report of the Company filed pursuant to Section 13(a)
        or 15(d) of the Exchange Act after the effective date of the
        Registration Statement that is incorporated by reference in the
        Registration Statement; and any reference to the Prospectus as amended
        or supplemented shall be deemed to refer to the Prospectus as amended or
        supplemented in relation to the applicable Designated Securities in the
        form in which it is filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b)
        under the Act in accordance with Section 5(a) hereof, including any
        documents incorporated by reference therein as of the date of such
        filing);

    (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 Act or the
        Exchange Act, as applicable and the rules and regulations of the
        Commission thereunder, and none of such documents contained an untrue
        statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact
        required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
        therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
        misleading when read together with the other information in the
        Prospectus, at the time the Registration Statement became effective; 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
        Act or the Exchange Act, as applicable, and the rules and regulations of
        the Commission thereunder and will not contain an untrue statement of a
        material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated
        therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the
        circumstances under which they were made, not misleading when read
        together with the other information in the Prospectus at the time the
        Registration Statement became effective; provided, however, that this
        representation and warranty shall not apply to any statements or
        omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity with information
        furnished in writing to the Company by an Underwriter of Designated
        Securities through the Representatives expressly for use in the
        Prospectus as amended or supplemented relating to such Securities;

    (c) The Registration Statement and the Prospectus conform, and any further
        amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or the
        Prospectus will conform, in all material respects to the requirements of
        the Act and the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the "Trust
        Indenture Act"), and the rules and regulations of the Commission
        thereunder and do not and will not, as of the applicable effective date
        as to the Registration

                                       3
<PAGE>

        Statement and any amendment thereto and as of the applicable filing date
        as to the Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto, contain an
        untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact
        required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
        therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
        misleading when read together with the other information in the
        Prospectus at the time the Registration Statement became effective;
        provided; however, that this representation and warranty shall not apply
        to any statements or omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity
        with information furnished in writing to the Company by an Underwriter
        of Designated Securities through the Representatives expressly for use
        in the Prospectus as amended or supplemented relating to such
        Securities;

    (d) Neither the Company nor any significant subsidiary of the Company (the
        term "significant subsidiary" shall have the meaning defined in Section
        210.1-02 of Regulation S-X) has sustained since the date of the latest
        audited financial statements included or incorporated by reference in
        the Prospectus any material loss or interference with its business from
        fire, explosion, flood or other calamity, whether or not covered by
        insurance, or from any labor dispute or court or governmental action,
        order or decree, otherwise than as set forth or contemplated in the
        Prospectus; and, since the respective dates as of which information is
        given in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, there has not
        been any material change in the consolidated capital stock or any
        material increase in the consolidated long-term debt of the Company and
        its significant subsidiaries or any material adverse change, or any
        development involving a prospective material adverse change, in the
        consolidated financial position or results of operations of the Company
        and its consolidated subsidiaries taken as a whole, otherwise than as
        set forth or contemplated in the Prospectus;

    (e) The Company has been duly incorporated in Delaware and is validly
        existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of Delaware,
        with corporate power and authority to own its properties and conduct its
        business as described in the Prospectus;

    (f) Each of the significant subsidiaries of the Company has been duly
        incorporated, and is validly existing as a corporation in good standing
        under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation and is duly
        qualified to transact business and is in good standing in each
        jurisdiction in which the conduct of its business or the ownership or
        leasing of its property requires such qualification, except where
        failure to qualify would not have a materially adverse effect upon the
        consolidated financial position or results of operations of the Company
        and its consolidated subsidiaries taken as a whole;

    (g) The Securities have been duly authorized, and, when Designated
        Securities are issued and delivered pursuant to this Agreement and the
        Pricing Agreement with respect to such Designated Securities, such
        Designated Securities will have been duly executed, authenticated,
        issued and delivered and will constitute valid and legally binding
        obligations of the Company entitled to the benefits provided by the
        Indenture, which will be substantially in the form filed as an exhibit
        to the Registration Statement; the Indenture has been duly authorized
        and duly qualified under the Trust Indenture Act and, at the Time of
        Delivery for such Designated Securities (as defined in Section 4
        hereof),

                                       4
<PAGE>

        the Indenture will constitute a valid and legally binding instrument,
        enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy,
        insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar
        laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors' rights
        and to general equity principles; and the Indenture conforms, and the
        Designated Securities will conform, to the descriptions thereof
        contained in the Prospectus as amended or supplemented with respect to
        such Designated Securities in all material respects;

    (h) The issue and sale of the Securities and the compliance by the Company
        with all of the provisions of the Securities, the Indenture, this
        Agreement and any Pricing Agreement, and the consummation of the
        transactions herein and therein contemplated will not conflict with or
        result in a breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or
        constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of
        any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any of the property or assets of
        the Company or any of its significant subsidiaries pursuant to the terms
        of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other
        agreement or instrument to which the Company or any of its significant
        subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its
        significant subsidiaries is bound or to which any of the property or
        assets of the Company or any of its significant subsidiaries is subject,
        nor will such action result in any violation of the provisions of the
        Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, or By-Laws of the Company, as
        amended, or any statute, order, rule or regulation known to the General
        Counsel of the Company of any court or governmental agency or body
        having jurisdiction over the Company or any of its significant
        subsidiaries or any of their properties except where such violation
        would not have a materially adverse effect upon the consolidated
        financial position or results of operations of the Company and its
        consolidated subsidiaries taken as a whole; and no consent, approval,
        authorization, order, registration or qualification of or in any such
        court or governmental agency or body is required for the issue and sale
        of the Securities or the consummation by the Company of the transactions
        contemplated by this Agreement or any Pricing Agreement or the
        Indenture, except such as have been, or will have been prior to the Time
        of Delivery, obtained under the Act and the Trust Indenture Act and such
        consents, approvals, authorizations, registrations or qualifications as
        may be required under state securities or Blue Sky laws in connection
        with the purchase and distribution of the Securities by the
        Underwriters; and

    (i) There are no legal or governmental proceedings to which the Company or
        any of its significant subsidiaries is a party or of which any property
        of the Company or any of its significant subsidiaries is the subject
        other than as set forth in the Prospectus and other than litigation
        incident to the kind of business conducted by the Company and its
        significant subsidiaries which, if determined adversely to the Company
        or any of its significant subsidiaries, would individually or in the
        aggregate have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial
        position or results of operations of the Company and its consolidated
        subsidiaries taken as a whole; and, to the best of the Company's
        knowledge, no such proceedings are threatened or contemplated by
        governmental authorities or threatened by others.

3.  Upon the execution of the Pricing Agreement applicable to any Designated
    Securities and authorization by the Representatives of the release of such
    Designated Securities, the Underwriters propose to offer such Designated
    Securities for sale upon the terms and conditions set forth in the
    Prospectus as amended or supplemented.

4.  Designated Securities to be purchased by each Underwriter pursuant to the

    names as the Representatives may request upon at least forty-eight hours
    prior notice to the Company, shall be delivered by or on behalf of the
    Company to the Representatives for the account of such Underwriter, against
    payment by such Underwriter or on its behalf of the purchase price therefor
    by wire transfer of Federal (same day) funds or other immediately available
    funds to the account specified by the Company to the Representatives at
    least forty-eight hours in advance or at such other place and time and date
    as the Representatives and the Company may agree upon in writing, such time
    and date being herein called the "Time of Delivery" for such Securities.

5.  The Company agrees with each of the Underwriters of any Designated
    Securities:

        applicable Designated Securities in a form approved by the
        Representatives and to file such Prospectus pursuant to Rule 424(b)
        under the Act, to make no further amendment or any supplement to the
        Registration Statement or Prospectus as amended or supplemented after
        the date of the Pricing Agreement relating to such Securities and prior
        to the Time of Delivery for such Securities which shall be disapproved
        by the Representatives for such Securities promptly after reasonable
        notice thereof; to advise the Representatives promptly of any such
        amendment or supplement after such Time of Delivery and furnish the
        Representatives with copies thereof as they shall reasonably request; to

        offering or sale of such Securities, and during such same period to
        advise the Representatives, promptly after it receives notice thereof,
        of the time when any amendment to the Registration Statement has been
        filed or becomes effective or any supplement to the Prospectus or any
        amended Prospectus has been filed with the Commission, of the issuance
        by the Commission of any stop order or of any order preventing or
        suspending the use of any prospectus relating to the Securities, of the
        suspension of the qualification of such Securities for offering or sale
        in any jurisdiction, of the initiation or threatening of any proceeding
        for any such purpose, or of any request by the Commission for the
        amending or supplementing of the Registration Statement or Prospectus or
        for additional information; and, in the event of the issuance of any
        such stop order or of any such order preventing or suspending the use of

        Representatives, to qualify such Securities for offering and sale under
        the securities laws of such jurisdictions as the Representatives may
        request and to comply with such laws so as to permit the continuance of
        sales and dealings therein in such jurisdictions for as long as may be
        necessary to complete the distribution of such Securities, provided 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

        time reasonably request, and, if the delivery of a prospectus is
        required at any time in connection with the offering or sale of the
        Securities and if at such time any event shall have occurred as a result
        of which the Prospectus as then amended or supplemented would include an
        untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact
        necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the
        circumstances under which they were made when such Prospectus is
        delivered, not misleading, or, if for any other reason it shall be
        necessary during such same period to amend or supplement the Prospectus
        or to file under the Exchange Act any document incorporated by reference
        in the Prospectus in order to comply with the Act, the Exchange Act or
        the Trust Indenture Act, to notify the Representatives and upon their
        reasonable request to file such document and to prepare and furnish
        without charge to each Underwriter and to any dealer in securities as
        many copies as the Representatives may from time to time reasonably
        request of an amended Prospectus or a supplement to the Prospectus which
        will correct such statement or omission or effect such compliance.

    (d) To make generally available to its securityholders as soon as
        practicable, but in any event not later than eighteen months after the
        effective date of the Registration Statement (as defined in Rule

        Securities, as notified to the Company by the Representative and (ii)
        the Time of Delivery for such Designated Securities, not to offer, sell,
        contract to sell or otherwise dispose of any debt securities of the
        Company which mature more than one year after such Time of Delivery and
        which are substantially similar to such Designated Securities, without
        the prior written consent of the Representatives, which consent shall
        not be unreasonably withheld; and

    (f) If the Company elects to rely upon Rule 462(b) under the Act, the
        Company shall file a Rule 462(b) Registration Statement with the
        Commission in compliance with Rule

    Pricing Agreement relating to such Designated Securities shall be subject,
    in the discretion of the Representatives, to the condition that all
    representations and warranties and other statements of the Company in or
    incorporated by reference in the Pricing Agreement relating to such
    Designated Securities are, at and as of the Time of Delivery for such
    Designated Securities, true and correct in all material respects, the
    condition that the Company shall have performed all of its obligations

        validity of the Indenture, the Designated Securities, the Registration
        Statement, the Prospectus as amended or supplemented and other related
        matters as the Representatives may reasonably request, and such counsel
        shall have received such papers and information as they may reasonably
        request to enable them to pass upon such matters;

    (c) The Vice President-Corporate Governance of the Company (or such other
        internal legal counsel or outside legal firm reasonably satisfactory to

        such Designated Securities, in form and substance satisfactory to the
        Representatives, to the effect that:

        (i) The Company has been duly incorporated, is validly existing as a
        corporation in good standing under the laws of the state of Delaware and
        is duly qualified to transact business and is in good standing in each
        jurisdiction in which the conduct of its business or the ownership or
        leasing of property requires such qualification, except where failure to
        qualify would not have a materially adverse effect upon the consolidated
        financial position or results of operations of the Company and its
        consolidated subsidiaries taken as a whole;

        (ii) Each of the significant subsidiaries of the Company has been duly
        incorporated, and is validly existing as a corporation in good standing
        under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation and is duly
        qualified to transact business and is in good standing in each
        jurisdiction which the conduct of its business or the ownership or
        leasing of its property requires such qualification, except where
        failure to qualify would not have a materially adverse effect upon the
        consolidated financial position or results of operations of the Company
        and its consolidated subsidiaries taken as a whole;

        (iii) To the best of such counsel's knowledge, there are no legal or
        governmental proceedings pending to which the Company or any of its
        significant subsidiaries is a party or of which any property of the
        Company or of any of its significant subsidiaries is the subject, other
        than as set forth in the Prospectus and other than litigation or
        proceedings which individually or in the aggregate are not materially
        adverse to the consolidated financial position or results of operations
        of the Company

                                       9
<PAGE>

        and its consolidated subsidiaries taken as a whole; to the best of such
        counsel's knowledge, no such proceedings are threatened by governmental
        authorities or others; and such counsel has not received notice that any
        such proceedings are contemplated by governmental authorities;

        (iv) This Agreement and the Pricing Agreement with respect to the
        Designated Securities have been duly authorized, executed and delivered
        by the Company;

        (v) The Designated Securities have been duly authorized, executed,
        authenticated, issued and delivered and constitute valid and legally
        binding obligations of the Company entitled to the benefits provided by
        the Indenture; and the Designated Securities and the Indenture conform
        to the descriptions thereof in the Prospectus as amended or
        supplemented;

        (vi) The Indenture has been duly authorized and duly qualified under the
        Trust Indenture Act and, at the Time of Delivery for such Designated
        Securities (as defined in Section 4 hereof), the Indenture will
        constitute a valid and legally binding instrument, enforceable in
        accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent
        transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general
        applicability relating to or affecting creditors' rights and to general
        equity principles;

        (vii) The issue and sale of the Designated Securities and the compliance
        by the Company with all of the provisions of the Designated Securities,
        the Indenture, this Agreement and the Pricing Agreement with respect to
        the Designated Securities will not conflict with or result in a breach
        of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or
        result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance
        upon any of the property or assets of the Company or any of its
        significant subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of any indenture,
        mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument
        known to such counsel to which the Company or any of its significant
        subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its
        significant subsidiaries is bound or to which any of the property or
        assets of the Company or any of its significant subsidiaries is subject,
        except for any breaches, conflicts, defaults, liens, charges or
        encumbrances that are not material to the consolidated financial
        position or results of operations of the Company and its consolidated
        subsidiaries taken as a whole, nor will such action result in any
        violation of the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation, as
        amended, or the By-Laws of the Company, as amended, or any statute,
        order, rule or regulation known to such counsel of any court or
        governmental agency or body having jurisdiction over the Company or any
        of its significant subsidiaries or any of their properties; and no
        consent, approval, authorization order, registration or qualification of
        or with any such court or governmental agency body, to such counsel's
        knowledge, is required for the issue and sale by the Company of the
        Designated Securities or the execution and delivery and performance by
        the Company of this Agreement, the Pricing Agreement or the Indenture,
        except such as have been obtained under the Act and the Trust Indenture
        Act and such consents, approvals,

                                       10
<PAGE>

        authorizations, registrations or qualifications as may be required under
        State Securities or Blue Sky laws in connection with the purchase and
        distribution of the Designated Securities by the Underwriters;

        (viii)The documents incorporated by reference in the Prospectus as
        amended or supplemented (other than the financial statements, notes
        thereto, and related schedules therein, as to which such counsel need
        express no opinion), when they became effective or were filed with the
        Commission, as the case may be, complied as to form in all material
        respects with the requirements of the Act or the Exchange Act, as
        applicable, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder;
        and such counsel has no reason to believe that any of such documents,
        when they became effective or were so filed, as the case may be,
        contained, in the case of a registration statement which became
        effective under the Act, an untrue statement of a material fact or
        omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or
        necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances
        under which they were made, not misleading when read together with the
        other information in the Prospectus at the time the Registration
        Statement became effective, or, in the case of other documents which
        were filed under the Act or the Exchange Act with the Commission, an
        untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact
        necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the
        circumstances under which they were made when such documents were so
        filed, not misleading when read together with the other information in
        the Prospectus at the time the Registration Statement became effective;
        and

        (ix) The Registration Statement and the Prospectus as amended or
        supplemented and any further amendments and supplements thereto made by
        the Company prior to the Time of Delivery for the Designated Securities
        (other than the financial statements, notes thereto, and related
        schedules therein, as to which such counsel need express no opinion)
        comply as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the
        Act and the Trust Indenture Act and the rules and regulations
        thereunder; such counsel has no reason to believe that, as of its
        effective date, the Registration Statement or any further amendment
        thereto made by the Company prior to the Time of Delivery (other than
        the financial statements, notes thereto, and related schedules therein,
        as to which such counsel need express no opinion) contained an untrue
        statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact
        required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
        therein not misleading or that, as of its date, the Prospectus as
        amended or supplemented or any further amendment or supplement thereto
        made by the Company prior to the Time of Delivery (other than the
        financial statements, notes thereto, and related schedules therein, as
        to which such counsel need express no opinion) contained an untrue
        statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact
        necessary to make the statements therein in light of the circumstances
        in which they were made, not misleading or that, as of the Time of
        Delivery, either the Registration Statement or the Prospectus as amended
        or supplemented or any further amendment or supplement thereto made by
        the Company prior to the Time of Delivery (other than the financial
        statements, notes thereto, and related schedules therein, as to which
        such counsel need express no opinion) contains

                                       11
<PAGE>

        an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact
        necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances
        in which they were made, not misleading, and such counsel does not know
        of any amendment to the Registration Statement required to be filed or
        any contracts or other documents of a character required to be filed as
        an exhibit to the Registration Statement or required to be incorporated
        by reference into the Prospectus as amended or supplemented or required
        to be described in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus as
        amended or supplemented which are not filed or incorporated by reference
        or described as required;

    (d) On the date of the Pricing Agreement for such Designated Securities and
        at the Time of Delivery for such Designated Securities, the independent
        accountants of the Company who have certified the financial statements
        of the Company and its subsidiaries included or incorporated by
        reference in the Registration Statement shall have furnished to the
        representatives a letter, dated (i) the date of such Pricing Agreement
        or (ii) the effective date of the Registration Statement or the date of
        the most recent report filed with the Commission containing financial
        statements and incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement,
        if the date of such report is later than such effective date, and a
        letter dated such Time of Delivery, respectively, to the effect set
        forth in Annex II hereto, and with respect, as to such other matters as
        the Representatives may reasonably request and in form and substance
        satisfactory to the Representatives;

 (e)(i) Neither the Company nor any of its significant subsidiaries shall
        have sustained since the date of the latest financial statements
        included or incorporated by reference in the Prospectus as amended or
        supplemented any loss or interference with its business from fire,
        explosion, flood or other calamity, whether or not covered by insurance,
        or from any labor dispute or court or governmental action, order or
        decree, otherwise than as set forth or contemplated in the Prospectus as
        amended or supplemented, and (ii) since the respective dates as of which
        information is given in the Prospectus as amended or supplemented there
        shall not have been any change in the capital stock of the Company
        (except for the issuance of shares of common stock pursuant to any plan
        sponsored by the Company or pursuant to the conversion of convertible
        indebtedness) or any increase in the consolidated long-term debt of the
        Company and its significant subsidiaries or any material change, or any
        development involving a prospective material adverse change, in the
        consolidated financial position or results of operations of the Company
        and its consolidated subsidiaries taken as a whole, otherwise than as
        set forth or contemplated in the Prospectus as amended or supplemented,
        the effect of which is in any such case described in Clause (i) or (ii)
        is in the judgment of the Representatives so material and adverse as to
        make it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the public offering
        or the delivery of the Designated Securities on the terms and in the
        manner contemplated in the Prospectus as amended or supplemented;

    (f) On or after the date of the Pricing Agreement relating to the Designated
        Securities (i) no downgrading shall have occurred in the rating accorded
        the Company's debt securities by any "nationally recognized statistical
        rating organization," as that term is

                                       12
<PAGE>

        defined by the Commission for purposes of Rule 436(g)(2) under the Act
        and (ii) no such organization shall have publicly announced that it has
        under surveillance or review, with possible negative implications, its
        rating of any of the Company's debt securities;

    (g) On or after the date of the Pricing Agreement relating to the Designated
        Securities there shall not have occurred any of the following: (i) a
        suspension of trading of the Company's Common Stock by the Commission or
        the New York Stock Exchange precipitated by the announcement by the
        Company of a material adverse event with respect to the Company's
        business or financial position; (ii) a suspension or material limitation
        in trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange, (iii)
        a general moratorium on commercial banking activities in New York
        declared by either Federal or New York State authorities; or (iv) the
        outbreak or escalation of hostilities directly involving the United
        States or the declaration by the United States of a national emergency
        or war, if the effect of any such event specified in this clause (iv) in
        the reasonable judgment of the Representatives makes it impracticable or
        inadvisable to proceed with the public offering or the delivery of the
        Designated Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated by the
        Prospectus as amended and supplemented; and

    (h) The Company shall have furnished or caused to be furnished at the Time
        of Delivery for the Designated Securities a certificate or certificates
        of officers of the Company satisfactory to the Representatives as to the
        accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Company herein at
        and as of such Time of Delivery, as to the performance by the Company of
        all of its obligations hereunder to be performed at or prior to such
        Time of Delivery, as to the matters set forth in subsections (a) and (e)
        of this Section and as to such other matters as the Representatives may
        reasonably request.

    8.  (a) The Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter
        against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to
        which such Underwriter may become subject, under the Act or otherwise,
        insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in
        respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or
        alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Preliminary
        Prospectus, any preliminary prospectus supplement, the Registration
        Statement, the Prospectus as amended or supplemented and any other
        prospectus relating to the Securities, or any amendment or supplement
        thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged
        omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein
        or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will
        reimburse each Underwriter for any legal or other expenses reasonably
        incurred by such Underwriter in connection with investigating or
        defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred;
        provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable in any such case
        to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out
        of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or
        omission or alleged omission made in any Preliminary Prospectus, any
        preliminary prospectus supplement, the Registration Statement, the
        Prospectus as amended or

        supplemented and any other prospectus relating to the Securities, or any
        such amendment or supplement in reliance upon and in conformity with
        written information furnished to the Company by any Underwriter of
        Designated Securities through the Representatives expressly for use in
        the Prospectus as amended or supplemented relating to such Securities.

    (b) Each Underwriter will indemnify and hold harmless the Company against
        any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company may
        become subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses,
        claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out
        of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of
        a material fact contained in any Preliminary Prospectus, any preliminary
        prospectus supplement, the Registration Statement, the Prospectus as
        amended or supplemented and any other prospectus relating to the
        Securities, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or
        are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a
        material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
        statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only
        to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or
        omission or alleged omission was made in any Preliminary Prospectus, any
        preliminary prospectus supplement, the Registration Statement, the
        Prospectus as amended or supplemented and any other prospectus relating
        to the Securities, or any such amendment or supplement in reliance upon
        and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by
        such Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for use therein;
        and will reimburse the Company for any legal or other expenses
        reasonably incurred by the Company in connection with investigating or
        defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred.

    (c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under subsection (a) or
        (b) above of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified
        party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the
        indemnifying party under such subsection, notify the indemnifying party
        in writing of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify
        the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it
        may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under such subsection.
        In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party
        and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof,
        the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to
        the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party
        similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel
        satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the
        consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party),
        and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party
        of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party
        shall not be liable to such indemnified party under such subsection for
        any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case
        subsequently incurred by such indemnified party, in connection with the
        defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation.

    (d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 is unavailable to
        or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection
        (a) or (b) above in

                                       14
<PAGE>

        respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in
        respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall
        contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a
        result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in
        respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the
        relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the
        Underwriters of the Designated Securities on the other from the offering
        of the Designated Securities to which such loss, claim, damage or
        liability (or action in respect thereof) relates. If however, the
        allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is not
        permitted by applicable law or if the indemnified party failed to give
        the notice required under subsection (c) above, then each indemnifying
        party shall contribute to such amount paid or payable by such
        indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not
        only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company
        on the one hand and the Underwriters of the Designated Securities on the
        other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in
        such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect
        thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The
        relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and such
        Underwriters on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion
        as the total net proceeds from such offering (before deducting expenses)
        received by the Company bear to the total underwriting discounts and
        commissions received by such Underwriters. The relative fault 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 on the one hand or such Underwriters on the other 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 subsection (d) were
        determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated
        as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation
        which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to
        above in this subsection (d). The amount paid or payable by an
        indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or
        liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above in this
        subsection (d) shall be deemed to include 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 subsection (d), no Underwriter shall be required to
        contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price
        at which the applicable Designated Securities underwritten by it and
        distributed to the public 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 Act) shall be entitled to
        contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent
        misrepresentation. The obligations of the Underwriters of Designated
        Securities in this subsection (d) to contribute are several in
        proportion to their respective underwriting obligations with respect to
        such Securities and not joint.

                                       15

    (e) The obligations of the Company under this Section 8 shall be in addition
        to any liability which the Company may otherwise have and shall extend,
        upon the same terms and conditions, to each person, if any, who controls
        any Underwriter within the meaning of the Act; and the obligations of
        the Underwriters under this Section 8 shall be in addition to any
        liability which the respective Underwriters may otherwise have and shall
        extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each officer and director
        of the Company and to each person, if any, who controls the Company
        within the meaning of the Act.

    9.  (a) If any Underwriter shall default in its obligation to purchase the
        Designated Securities which it has agreed to purchase under the Pricing
        Agreement relating to such Designated Securities, the Representatives
        may in their discretion arrange for themselves or another party or other
        parties to purchase such Designated Securities on the terms contained
        herein. If within thirty-six hours after such default by any Underwriter
        the Representatives do not arrange for the purchase of such Designated
        Securities, then the Company shall be entitled to a further period of
        thirty-six hours within which to procure another party or other parties
        satisfactory to the Representatives to purchase such Designated
        Securities on such terms. In the event that, within the respective
        prescribed period, the Representatives notify the Company that they have
        so arranged for the purchase of such Designated Securities, or the
        Company notifies the Representatives that it has so arranged for the
        purchase of such Designated Securities, the Representatives or the
        Company shall have the right to postpone the Time of Delivery for such
        Designated Securities for a period of not more than seven days, in order
        to effect whatever changes may thereby be made necessary in the
        Registration Statement or the Prospectus as amended or supplemented, or
        in any other documents or arrangements, and the Company agrees to file
        promptly any amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or
        the Prospectus which in the opinion of the Representatives may thereby
        be made necessary. The term "Underwriter" as used in this Agreement
        shall include any person substituted under this Section with like effect
        as if such person had originally been a party to the Pricing Agreement
        with respect to such Designated Securities.

    (b) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the
        Designated Securities of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by the
        Representatives and the Company as provided in subsection (a) above, the
        aggregate principle amount of such Designated Securities which remains
        unpurchased does not exceed one-eleventh of the aggregate principal
        amount of the Designated Securities, then the Company shall have the
        right to require each non-defaulting Underwriter to purchase the
        principal amount of Designated Securities which such Underwriter agreed
        to purchase under the Pricing Agreement relating to such Designated
        Securities and, in addition, to require each non-defaulting Underwriter
        to purchase its pro rata share (based on the principal amount of
        Designated Securities which such Underwriter agreed to purchase under
        such Pricing Agreement) of the Designated Securities of such defaulting
        Underwriter or Underwriters for which such arrangements have not been
        made; but nothing herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter from
        liability for its default.

                                       16
<PAGE>

    (c) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the
        Designated Securities of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by the
        Representatives and the Company as provided in subsection (a) above, the
        aggregate principal amount of Designated Securities which remains
        unpurchased exceeds one-eleventh of the aggregate principal amount of
        the Designated Securities, as referred to in subsection (b) above, or if
        the Company shall not exercise the right described in subsection (b)
        above to require non-defaulting Underwriters to purchase Designated
        Securities of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters, then the Pricing
        Agreement relating to such Designated Securities shall thereupon
        terminate, without liability on the part of any non-defaulting
        Underwriter or the Company, except for the expenses to be borne by the
        Company and the Underwriters as provided in Section 6 hereof and the
        indemnity and contribution agreements in Section 8 hereof; but nothing
        herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter from liability for its
        default.

10. The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and
    other statements of the Company and the several Underwriters, as set forth
    in this Agreement or made by or on behalf of them, respectively, pursuant to
    this Agreement, shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any
    investigation (or any statement as to the results thereof) made by or on
    behalf of any Underwriter or any controlling person of any Underwriter, or
    the Company, or any officer or director or controlling person of the
    Company, and shall survive delivery of and payment for the Securities.

11. If any Pricing Agreement shall be terminated pursuant to Section 9 hereof,
    the Company shall not then be under any liability to any Underwriter with
    respect to the Designated Securities covered by such Pricing Agreement
    except as provided in Section 6 and Section 8 hereof; but, if for any other
    reason Designated Securities are not delivered by or on behalf of the
    Company as provided herein, the Company will reimburse the Underwriters
    through the Representatives for all out-of-pocket expenses approved in
    writing by the Representatives, including fees and disbursements of counsel,
    reasonably incurred by the Underwriters in making preparations for the
    purchase, sale and delivery of such Designated Securities, but the Company
    shall then be under no further liability to any Underwriter with respect to
    such Designated Securities except as provided in Section 6 and Section 8
    hereof.

12. In all dealings hereunder, the Representatives of the Underwriters of
    Designated Securities shall act on behalf of each such Underwriters, and the
    parties hereto shall be entitled to act and rely upon any statement,
    request, notice or agreement on behalf of any Underwriter made or given by
    such Representatives jointly or by such of the Representatives, if any, as
    may be designated for such purpose in the Pricing Agreement.


    All statements, requests, notices and agreements hereunder shall be in
    writing, and if to the Underwriters shall be delivered or sent by mail,
    telex or facsimile transmission to the address of the Representatives as set
    forth in the Pricing Agreement; and if to the Company shall be delivered or
    sent by mail, telex or facsimile transmission to the

                                       17
<PAGE>

    address of the Company set forth in the Registration Statement: Attention:
    Secretary; provided, however, that any notice to an Underwriter pursuant to
    Section 8(c) hereof shall be delivered or sent by mail, telex or facsimile
    transmission to such Underwriter at its address set forth in its
    Underwriters' Questionnaire, or telex constituting such Questionnaire, which
    address will be supplied to the Company by the Representatives upon request.
    Any such statements, requests, notices or agreements shall take effect upon
    receipt thereof.


13. This Agreement and each Pricing Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure
    solely to the benefit of, the Underwriters, the Company and, to the extent
    provided in Section 8 and Section 10 hereof, the officers and directors of
    the Company and each person who controls the Company or any Underwriter, and
    their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns,
    and no other person shall acquire or have any right under or by virtue of
    this Agreement or any such Pricing Agreement. No purchaser of any of the
    Securities from any Underwriter shall be deemed a successor or assign by
    reason merely of such purchase.

14. Time shall be of the essence of each Pricing Agreement. As used herein
    "business day" shall mean any day when the Commission's office in
    Washington, D.C. is open for business.

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

16. This Agreement and each Pricing Agreement may be executed by any one or more
    of the parties hereto and thereto in any number of counterparts, each of
    which shall be deemed to be an original, but all such respective
    counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument.

                                    Very truly yours,

                                    PFIZER INC.

[Name/Address]

Ladies and Gentlemen:

       Pfizer Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), proposes, subject to

extent as if such provisions had been set forth in full herein; and each of the
representations and warranties set forth therein shall be deemed to have been
made at and as of the date of this Pricing Agreement, except that each
representation and warranty which refers to the Prospectus in Section 2 of the
Underwriting Agreement shall be deemed to be a representation or warranty as of
the date of the Underwriting Agreement in relation to the Prospectus (as therein
defined), and also a representation and warranty as of the date of this Pricing
Agreement in relation to the Prospectus as amended or supplemented relating to
the Designated Securities which are the subject of this Pricing Agreement.  Each
reference to the Representatives herein and in the provisions of the
Underwriting Agreement so incorporated by reference shall be deemed to refer to
you.  Unless otherwise defined herein, terms defined in the Underwriting
Agreement are used herein as therein defined.  The Representatives designated to
act on behalf of the Representatives and on behalf of each of the Underwriters

       An amendment to the Registration Statement, or a supplement to the

       Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the
Underwriting Agreement incorporated herein by reference, the Company agrees to

and return to us [one for the Issuer and each of the Representatives plus one
for each counsel] counterparts hereof, and upon acceptance hereof by you, on
behalf of each of the Underwriters this letter and such acceptance hereof,
including the provisions of the Underwriting Agreement incorporated herein by

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

   Whenever, subsequent to the receipt by the Trustee of any Board Resolution,
Officers' Certificate, Opinion of Counsel or other document or instrument, a
clerical, typographical or other inadvertent or unintentional error or omission
shall be discovered therein, a new document or instrument may be substituted
therefor in corrected form with the same force and effect as if originally
filed in the corrected form and, irrespective of the date or dates of the
actual execution and/or delivery thereof, such substitute document or
instrument shall be deemed to have been executed and or delivered as of the
date or dates required with respect to the document or instrument for which it
is substituted. Anything in this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, if
any such corrective document or instrument indicates that action has been taken
by or at the request of the Company which could not have been taken had the
original document or instrument not contained such error or omission, the
action so taken shall not be invalidated or otherwise rendered ineffective but
shall be and remain in full force and effect, except to the extent that such
action was a result of willful misconduct or bad faith. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, any Securities issued under the authority of such
defective document or instrument shall nevertheless be the valid obligations of
the Company entitled to the benefits of this Indenture equally and ratably with
all other Outstanding Securities, except as aforesaid.

Section 104. Acts of Holders; Record Dates.

   Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or
other action provided or permitted by this Indenture to be given, made or taken
by Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of
substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders 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 and, where it hereby expressly is required, to the Company. Such
instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced
thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the "Act" of the Holders signing
such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of
a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this
Indenture and (subject to Section 601) conclusive in favor of the Trustee and
the Company, if made in the manner provided in this Section.

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

   The ownership of Securities shall be proved by the Security Register.

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

   The Company may set any day as a record date for the purpose of determining
the Holders of Outstanding Securities of any series entitled to give, make or
take any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or
other action provided or permitted by this Indenture to be given, made or taken
by Holders of Securities of such series; provided that the Company may not set
a record date for, and the provisions of this paragraph shall not apply with
respect to, the giving or making of any notice, declaration, request or
direction

                                       7

referred to in the next paragraph. If any record date is set pursuant to this
paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding Securities of the relevant series on such
record date or their DTC certified proxy or official DTC position listing, and
no other Holders, shall be entitled to take a vote on the relevant action,
whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided
that no such action shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to
the applicable Expiration Date by Holders of the requisite principal amount of
Outstanding Securities of such series on such record date. Nothing in this
paragraph shall be construed to prevent the Company from setting a new record
date for any action for which a record date has previously been set pursuant to
this paragraph (whereupon the new record date, Holders of the requisite
principal amount of Outstanding Securities of such series shall be entitled to
take or vote on the relevant action, whether or not such Holders remain
Holders), and nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to render
ineffective any action taken by Holders of the requisite principal amount of
Outstanding Securities of the relevant series on the date such action is taken.
Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Company,
at its own expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the proposed action
by Holders and the applicable Expiration Date to be given to the Trustee in
writing and to each Holder of Securities of the relevant series in the manner
set forth in Section 106.

   The Trustee may set any day as a record date for the purpose of determining
the Holders of Outstanding Securities of any series entitled to join in the
giving or making of (i) any Notice of Default, (ii) any declaration of
acceleration referred to in Section 502, (iii) any request to institute
proceedings referred to in Section 507(2) or (iv) any direction referred to in
Section 512, in each case with respect to Securities of such series. If any
record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding
Securities of such series on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be
entitled to join in such notice, declaration, request, direction or vote the
same, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date;
provided that no such action shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or
prior to the applicable Expiration Date by Holders of the requisite principal
amount of Outstanding Securities of such series on such record date or their
DTC certified proxy or official DTC position listing. Nothing in this paragraph
shall be construed to prevent the Trustee from setting a new record date for
any action for which a record date has previously been set pursuant to this
paragraph (whereupon the record date previously set shall automatically and
with no action by any Person be cancelled and of no effect), and nothing in
this paragraph shall be construed to render ineffective any action taken by the
Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of the
relevant series on the date such action is taken. Promptly after any record
date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Trustee, at the Company's expense,
shall cause notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and the
applicable Expiration Date to be sent to the Company in writing and to each
Holder of Securities of the relevant series in the manner set forth in Section
106.

   With respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section, the party
hereto which sets such record date may designate any day as the "Expiration
Date" and from time to time may change the Expiration Date to any earlier or
later day; provided that no such change shall be effective unless notice of the
proposed new Expiration Date is given to the other party hereto in writing, and
to each Holder of Securities of the relevant series in the manner set forth in
Section 106, on or prior to the existing Expiration Date. If an Expiration Date
is not designated with respect to any record date pursuant to this Section, the
party hereto which set such record date shall be deemed to have initially
designated the 180th day after such record date as the Expiration Date with
respect thereto, subject to its right to change the Expiration Date as provided
in this paragraph. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Expiration Date shall be
later than the 180th day after the applicable record date.

   Without limiting the foregoing, a Holder entitled to take any action
hereunder with regard to any particular Security may do so with regard to all
or any part of the principal amount of such Security or by one or more duly
appointed agents each of which may do so pursuant to such appointment with
regard to all or any part of such principal amount.

   For the purposes of this Section 104, the term "Holder" means registered
holder or a DTC participant listed on a certified official DTC proxy.

Section 105. Notices, Etc., to Trustee and Company.

   Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or
other Act of Holders or other document provided or permitted by this Indenture
to be made upon, given or furnished to, or filed with,

     (1) the Trustee by any Holder or by the Company shall be sufficient for
  every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or filed in writing by
  mail, first-class postage prepaid, by guaranteed overnight courier or by
  facsimile transmission (receipt confirmed by a Responsible Officer),
  followed by overnight courier, to or with the Trustee at its Corporate
  Trust Office, Attention: Corporate Trust Department,

     (2) the Company by the Trustee or by any Holder shall be sufficient for
  every purpose hereunder, unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in
  writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, by guaranteed overnight
  courier or by facsimile transmission (receipt confirmed by a Responsible
  Officer), followed by overnight courier, to the Company addressed to it at
  the address of its principal office specified in the first paragraph of
  this instrument, Attention: Corporate Secretary, or at any other address
  previously furnished in writing to the Trustee by the Company, or

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

Section 106. Notice to Holders; Waiver.

   Where this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of any event, such
notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided)
if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, by guaranteed overnight
courier or by facsimile transmission (receipt confirmed by facsimile
transmission receipt), followed by overnight courier, to each Holder affected
by such event, at his address as it appears in the Security Register, not later
than the latest date (if any), and not earlier than the earliest date (if any),
prescribed for the giving of such notice. 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.

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

Section 107. Conflict with Trust Indenture Act.

   If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with a provision of
the Trust Indenture Act which is required under such Act to be a part of and
govern this Indenture, the latter provision shall control. If any provision of
this Indenture modifies or excludes any provision of the Trust Indenture Act
that may be so modified or excluded, the latter provision shall be deemed to
apply to this Indenture as so modified or to be excluded, as the case may be.

Section 108. 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 109. Successors and Assigns.

   All covenants and agreements in this Indenture by the Company shall bind its
successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not.

Section 110. Separability Clause.

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

Section 111. Benefits of Indenture.

   Nothing in this Indenture or in the Securities, express or implied, shall
give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and their successors
hereunder and the Holders, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy
or claim under this Indenture.

Section 112. Governing Law.

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

Section 113. Legal Holidays.

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

in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent
or waiver is made upon this Security.

this Security shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with respect
to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any
other remedy thereunder unless such Holder shall have previously given the
Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the
Securities of this series, the Holders of not less than a majority in principal
amount of the Securities of this series at the time Outstanding shall have made
written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such
Event of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee reasonable indemnity, and
the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal
amount of Securities of this series at the time Outstanding a direction
inconsistent with such request, and shall have failed to institute any such
proceeding, for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of
indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder
of this Security for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or any
premium or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed
herein.

   No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of
the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is
absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and any premium and
interest on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or
currency, herein prescribed.

   As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set
forth, the transfer of this Security is registerable in the Security Register,
upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the office or
agency of the Company in any place where the principal of and any premium and
interest on this Security are payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a
written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the
Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly
authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities of this series
and of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate
principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

   The Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form without
coupons in denominations of $     and any integral multiple thereof. As
provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set
forth, Securities of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate
principal amount of Securities of this series and of like tenor of a different
authorized denomination, as requested in writing by the Holder surrendering
the same.

   No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or
exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

   Prior to due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer, the
Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the
Person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof for all
purposes, whether or not this Security be overdue, and neither the Company,
the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

   All terms used in this Security which are defined in the Indenture shall
have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

   No recourse for the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest
on any Security, or for any claim based thereon or otherwise in respect
thereof, and no recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement
of the Company in the Indenture or in any supplemental indenture, or in this
Security, or because of the creation of any indebtedness represented hereby,
shall be had against any incorporator, stockholder, officer or director, as
such, past, present or future, of the Company or any successor corporation,
either directly or through the Company 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; it being expressly understood that
all such liability was expressly waived and released as a condition of, and as
consideration for, the execution of the Indenture and is a condition of, and
is consideration for, the execution of this Security.

  SECURITY IN WHOLE OR IN PART MAY BE REGISTERED, IN THE NAME OF ANY
  PERSON OTHER THAN SUCH DEPOSITARY OR A NOMINEE THEREOF, EXCEPT IN
  LIMITED CIRCUMSTANCES DESCRIBED IN THE INDENTURE."

to denomination and except as may otherwise be provided in or pursuant to the
Board Resolution referred to above and (subject to Section 303) set forth, or
determined in the manner provided in the Officers' Certificate referred to
above or in any such indenture supplemental hereto.

   With respect to Securities of a series offered in a Periodic Offering, the
Board Resolution (or action taken pursuant thereto), Officers' Certificate or
supplemental indenture referred to above may provide general terms or
parameters for Securities of such series and provide either that the specific
terms of particular Securities of

                                       17
<PAGE>

such series shall be specified in a Company Order or that such terms shall be
determined by the Company in accordance with other procedures specified in a
Company Order as contemplated by the third paragraph of Section 303.

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

   Notwithstanding Section 301(2) herein and unless otherwise expressly
provided with respect to a series of Securities, the aggregate principal amount
of a series of Securities may be increased and additional Securities of such
series may be issued up to the maximum aggregate principal amount authorized
with respect to such series as increased.

Section 302. Denominations.

   The Securities of each series, shall be issuable only in fully registered
form without coupons in such denominations as shall be specified as
contemplated by Section 301. In the absence of any such provisions with respect
to the Securities of any series, the Securities of such series shall be
issuable in denominations of $100,000 and any integral multiple thereof.

Section 303. Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating.

   The Securities shall be executed on behalf of the company by its Chairman of
the Board, its Vice Chairman, its President, its Chief Executive Officer, an
Executive Vice President, a Senior Vice President, or one of its Vice
President, under its corporate seal reproduced thereon attested by its
Secretary or one of its Assistant Secretaries. The signature of any of these
officers on the Securities may be manual or facsimile.

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

   At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this
Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities of any series executed by the
Company to the Trustee for authentication, together with a Company Order for
the authentication and delivery of such Securities and the Trustee in
accordance with the Company Order shall authenticate and deliver such
Securities; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that in the case of Securities offered in a
Periodic Offering, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver such Securities
from time to time in accordance with such other procedures (including, without
limitation, the receipt by the Trustee of oral or electronic instructions from
the Company or its duly authorized agents, promptly confirmed in writing)
acceptable to the Trustee as may be specified by or pursuant to a Company Order
delivered to the Trustee prior to the time of the first authentication of
Securities of such series. If the form or terms of the Securities of the series
have been established by or pursuant to one or more Board Resolutions as
permitted by Sections 201 and 301, in authenticating such Securities, and
accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to
such Securities (but shall not be required to do so), the Trustee shall be
entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 601) shall be fully protected in
relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating:

     (a) if the form of such Securities has been established by or pursuant
  to Board Resolution as permitted by Section 201, that such form has been
  established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture;

     (b) if the terms of such Securities have been, or in the case of
  Securities of a series offered in a Periodic Offering, will be, established
  by or pursuant to Board Resolution as permitted by Section 301, that such
  terms have been, or in the case of Securities of a series offered in a
  Periodic Offering, will be,

                                       18
<PAGE>

  established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture, subject,
  in the case of Securities of a series offered in a Periodic Offering, to
  any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel; and

     (c) that such Securities, when authenticated and delivered by the
  Trustee and issued by the Company in the manner and subject to any
  conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute valid and
  legally binding obligations of the Company enforceable in accordance with
  their terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer,
  reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability
  relating to or affecting creditors' rights and to general equity
  principles.

   If such form or terms have been so established, the Trustee shall not be
required to authenticate such Securities if the issue of such Securities
pursuant to this Indenture will affect the Trustee's own rights, duties or
immunities under the Securities and this Indenture or otherwise in manner which
is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee.

   Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 301 and of the preceding
paragraph, if all Securities of a series are not to be originally issued at one
time, it shall not be necessary to deliver the Officers' Certificate otherwise
required pursuant to Section 301 or the Company Order and Opinion of Counsel
otherwise required pursuant to such preceding paragraph at or prior to the time
of authentication of each Security of such series if such documents are
delivered at or prior to the authentication upon original issuance of the first
Security of such series to be issued.

   With respect to Securities of a series offered in a Periodic Offering, the
Trustee may rely, as to the authorization by the Company of any such
Securities, the form and terms thereof and the legality, validity, binding
effect and enforceability thereof, upon the Opinion of Counsel and the other
documents delivered pursuant to Sections 201 and 301 and this Section, as
applicable, in connection with the first authentication of Securities of such
series.

   Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication.

   No Security shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be
valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Security a
certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein
executed by the Trustee by manual signature of an authorized signatory, and
such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only
evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated and delivered
hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Security shall have been
authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the Company,
and the Company shall deliver such Security to the Trustee for cancellation as
provided in Section 309 for all purposes of this Indenture such Security shall
be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall
never be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.

Section 304.  Temporary Securities, Exchange of Temporary Global Securities for
              Definitive Bearer Securities Representing Registered Securities.

   Pending the preparation of definitive Securities of any series, the Company
may execute, and upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver,
temporary Securities which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed
or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the
tenor of the definitive Securities in lieu of which they are issued and with
such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as
the officers executing such Securities may determine, as evidenced by their
execution of such Securities.

   Every such temporary Security shall be executed by the Company and shall be
authenticated and made available for delivery by the Trustee upon the same
conditions and in substantially the same manner, and with the same effect, as
the definitive Securities in lieu of which they are issued. In the case of any
series issuable as Bearer Securities, such temporary Securities may be in
global form, representing such of the Outstanding Securities of such series as
shall be specified therein.

                                       19
<PAGE>

   Except in the case of temporary Securities in global form (which shall be
exchanged in accordance with the provisions of the following paragraphs), if
temporary Securities of any series are issued, the Company will cause
definitive Securities of such series to be prepared without unreasonable delay.
After the preparation of definitive Securities of such series, the temporary
Securities of such series shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities of
such series, of a like Stated Maturity and with like terms and provisions, upon
surrender of the temporary Securities of such series at the office or agency of
the Company in a Place of Payment for such series, without charge to the
Holder, except as provided in Section 305 in connection with a transfer. Upon
surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Securities of any
series (accompanied by any unmatured Coupons), the Company shall execute and
the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like
principal amount of definitive Securities of the same series of authorized
denominations and of a like Stated Maturity and like terms and provisions;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no definitive Bearer Security shall be delivered in
exchange for a temporary Security; and PROVIDED, FURTHER, that a definitive
Bearer Security (including a permanent Bearer Security in global form) shall be
delivered in exchange for a temporary Bearer Security only in compliance with
the conditions set forth in Section 303. Until so exchanged, the temporary
Securities of any series shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits
under this Indenture as definitive Securities of such series.

   Unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301, all Bearer Securities of
a series shall be initially issued in the form of a single temporary Bearer
Security in global form (a "temporary Global Security"). The Company shall
execute, and upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate, any temporary
Global Security and any permanent Bearer Security in global form (as described
below, a "permanent Global Security") upon the same conditions and in
substantially the same manner, and with the same effect, as definitive Bearer
Securities, and the temporary or permanent Global Security, as the case may be,
shall, unless otherwise specified therein, be delivered by the Trustee to the
London office of a depositary or common depositary (the "Common Depositary"),
for the benefit of the Euro-clear Operator or Clearstream Luxembourg, as the
case may be, for credit to the account of the Company (in the case of sales of
Bearer Securities by the Company directly to investors) or the managing
underwriter (in the case of sales of Bearer Securities by the Company to
underwriters) or such other accounts as the Company or the managing
underwriter, respectively, may direct.

   On or after the date specified in or determined pursuant to the terms of any
temporary Global Security which (subject to any applicable laws and
regulations) shall be at least 40 days after the issue date of a temporary
Global Security (the "Exchange Date"), the Securities represented by such
temporary Global Security may be exchanged for definitive Securities (subject
to the second succeeding paragraph) or Securities to be represented thereafter
by one or more permanent Global Securities in definitive form without interest
coupons. On or after the Exchange Date such temporary Global Security shall be
surrendered by the Common Depositary to the Trustee, as the Company's agent for
such purpose, at its principal office in London (or at such other place
specified outside the United States pursuant to Section 301) and following such
surrender, the Trustee shall (1) endorse the temporary Global Security or
adjust its records to reflect the reduction of its principal amount by an equal
aggregate principal amount of such Security, (2) endorse the applicable
permanent Global Security, if any, to reflect the initial amount, or an
increase in the amount of Securities represented thereby, (3) manually
authenticate such definitive Securities (including any permanent Global
Security), (4) make available for delivery such definitive Securities to the
Holder thereof or, if such definitive Security is a permanent Global Security,
make available for delivery such permanent Global Security to the Common
Depositary to be held outside the United States for the accounts of the Euro-
clear Operator or Clearstream Luxembourg, as the case may be, for credit to the
respective accounts at Euro-clear Operator or Clearstream Luxembourg, as the
case may be, designated by or on behalf of the beneficial owners of such
Securities (or to such other accounts as they may direct) and (5) make
available for redelivery such temporary Global Security to the Common
Depositary, unless such temporary Global Security shall have been canceled in
accordance with Section 309 hereof; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, unless otherwise
specified in such temporary Global Security, upon such presentation by the
Common Depositary, such temporary Global Security shall be accompanied by a
certificate dated the Exchange Date or a subsequent date and signed by the
Euro-

                                       20
<PAGE>

clear Operator, as to the portion of such temporary Global Security held for
its account then to be exchanged for definitive Securities (including any
permanent Global Security), and a certificate dated the Exchange Date or a
subsequent date and signed by Clearstream Luxembourg, as to the portion of such
temporary Global Security held for its account then to be exchanged for
definitive Securities (including any permanent Global Security), each
substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit B to this Indenture. Each
certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto of the Euro-clear
Operator or Clearstream Luxembourg, as the case may be, shall be based on
certificates of the account holders listed in the records of the Euro-clear
Operator or Clearstream Luxembourg, as the case may be, as being entitled to
all or any portion of the applicable temporary Global Security. An account
holder of the Euro-clear Operator or Clearstream Luxembourg, as the case may
be, desiring to effect the exchange of an interest in a temporary Global
Security for an interest in definitive Securities (including any permanent
Global Security) shall instruct the Euro-clear Operator or Clearstream
Luxembourg, as the case may be, to request such exchange on its behalf and
shall deliver to the Euro-clear Operator or Clearstream Luxembourg, as the case
may be, a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto and dated
no earlier than 10 days prior to the Exchange Date. Until so exchanged,
temporary Global Securities shall in all respects be entitled to the same
benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities (including any permanent
Global Security) of the same series authenticated and delivered hereunder,
except as to payment of interest, if any.

   The delivery to the Trustee by the Euro-clear Operator or Clearstream
Luxembourg of any certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto may
be relied upon by the Company and the Trustee as conclusive evidence that a
corresponding certificate or certificates has or have been delivered to the
Euro-clear Operator or Clearstream Luxembourg, as the case may be, pursuant to
the terms of this Indenture.

   On or prior to the Exchange Date, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee
definitive Securities in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal
amount of such temporary Global Security, executed by the Company. At any time,
on or after the Exchange Date, upon 30 days' notice to the Trustee by the Euro-
clear Operator or Clearstream Luxembourg, as the case may be, acting at the
request of or on behalf of the beneficial owner, a Security represented by a
temporary Global Security or a permanent Global Security, as the case may be,
may be exchanged, in whole or from time to time in part, for definitive
Securities without charge and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available
for delivery, in exchange for each portion of such temporary Global Security or
such permanent Global Security, an equal aggregate principal amount of
definitive Securities of the same series of authorized denominations and of a
like Stated Maturity and with like terms and conditions, as the portion of such
temporary Global Security or such permanent Global Security to be exchanged,
which, unless the Securities of the series are not issuable both as Bearer
Securities and as Securities, as contemplated by Section 301, shall be in the
form of Bearer Securities or Securities, or any combination thereof, as shall
be specified by the beneficial owner thereof; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that
definitive Bearer Securities shall be delivered in exchange for a portion of
the temporary Global Security or the permanent Global Security only in
compliance with the requirements of the second preceding paragraph. On or prior
to the forty-fifth day following receipt by the Trustee of such notice with
respect to a Security, or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next
succeeding Business Day, the temporary Global Security or the permanent Global
Security, as the case may be, shall be surrendered by the Common Depositary to
the Trustee, as the Company's agent for such purpose, to be exchanged, in whole
or from time to time in part, for definitive Securities without charge
following such surrender, upon the request of the Euro-clear Operator or
Clearstream Luxembourg, as the case may be, and the Trustee shall (1) endorse
the applicable temporary Global Security or the permanent Global Security or
adjust its records to reflect the reduction of its principal amount by the
aggregate principal amount of such Security, (2) cause the terms of such
Security and Coupons, if any, to be entered on a definitive Security, (3)
manually authenticate such definitive Security, and (4) if a Bearer Security is
to be delivered, deliver such definitive Security outside the United States to
the Euro-clear Operator or Clearstream Luxembourg, as the case may be, for or
on behalf of the beneficial owner thereof, in exchange for a portion of such
temporary Global Security or the permanent Global Security.

   Unless otherwise specified in such temporary Global Security or the
permanent Global Security, any such exchange shall be made free of charge to
the beneficial owners of such temporary Global Security or the

                                       21
<PAGE>

permanent Global Security, except that a Person receiving definitive Securities
must bear the cost of insurance, postage, transportation and the like in the
event that such Person does not take delivery of such definitive Securities in
person at the offices of the Euro-clear Operator or Clearstream Luxembourg.
Definitive Securities in bearer form to be delivered in exchange for any
portion of a temporary Global Security or the permanent Global Security shall
be delivered only outside the United States. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in
the event of redemption or acceleration of all or any part of a temporary
Global Security prior to the Exchange Date, a permanent Global Security or
definitive Bearer Securities, as the case may be, will not be issuable in
respect of such temporary Global Security or such portion thereof, and payment
thereon will instead be made as provided in such temporary Global Security.

   Until exchanged in full as hereinabove provided, any temporary Global
Security or the permanent Global Security shall in all respects be entitled to
the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities of the same
series and tenor authenticated and delivered hereunder, except that, unless
otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, interest payable on such
temporary Global Security on an Interest Payment Date for Securities of such
series occurring prior to the applicable Exchange Date shall be payable to the
Euro-clear Operator or Clearstream Luxembourg on such Interest Payment Date
upon delivery by the Euro-clear Operator or Clearstream Luxembourg to the
Trustee of a certificate or certificates substantially in the form set forth in
Exhibit B to this Indenture, for credit without further interest on or after
such Interest Payment Date to the respective accounts of the Persons who are
the beneficial owners of such temporary Global Security on such Interest
Payment Date and who have each delivered to the Euro-clear Operator or
Clearstream Luxembourg, as the case may be, a certificate substantially in the
form set forth in Exhibit A to this Indenture.

   Any definitive Bearer Security authenticated and make available for delivery
by the Trustee in exchange for a portion of a temporary Global Security or the
permanent Global Security shall not bear a coupon for any interest which shall
theretofore have been duly paid by the Trustee to the Euro-clear Operator or
Clearstream Luxembourg, or by the Company to the Trustee in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 304.

   With respect to Exhibits A and B to this Indenture, the Company may, in its
discretion and if required or desirable under applicable law or as set forth in
any Board Resolution or supplemental indenture with respect to any series of
Securities, substitute one or more other forms of such exhibits for such
exhibits, eliminate the requirement that any or all certificates be provided,
or change the time that any certificate may be required, provided that such
substitute form or forms or notice of elimination or change of such
certification requirement have theretofore been delivered to the Trustee with a
Company Request and such form or forms, elimination or change is reasonably
acceptable to the Trustee.

   If the Company shall establish pursuant to Section 301 that the Securities
of a series are to be issued in whole or in part in the form of one or more
Global Securities, then the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall, in
accordance with Section 303 and the Company Order with respect to such series,
authenticate and make available for delivery one or more Global Securities in
temporary or permanent form that (i) shall represent and shall be denominated
in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities of such series to be represented by one or more Global Securities,
(ii) shall be registered in the name of the U.S. Depositary for such Global
Security or Notes or the nominee of such depositary, and (iii) shall bear a
legend substantially as set forth in Section 204.

   Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section or Section 305, unless
and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for Securities in definitive
form, a Global Security representing all or a portion of the Securities of a
series may not be transferred except as a whole by the U.S. 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 U.S. Depositary for such series or a nominee of
such successor depositary.

   If at any time the U.S. Depositary for the Securities of a series notifies
the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as U.S. Depositary for
the Securities of such series or if at any time the U.S. Depositary for

                                       22
<PAGE>

Securities of a series shall no longer be a clearing agency registered and in
good standing under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or other
applicable statute or regulation, the Company shall appoint a successor U.S.
Depositary with respect to the Securities of such series. If a successor U.S.
Depositary for the Securities of such series is not appointed by the Company
within 90 days after the Company receives such notice or becomes aware of such
condition, the Company will execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company
Order for the authentication and delivery of definitive Securities of such
series, will authenticate and make available for delivery, Securities of such
series in definitive form in an aggregate principal amount equal to the
principal amount of the Global Security or Notes representing such series in
exchange for such Global Security or Notes.

   The Company may at any time and in its sole discretion determine that the
Securities of any series issued in the form of one or more Global Securities
shall no longer be represented by such Global Security or Notes. In such event,
the Company will execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order for
the authentication and delivery of definitive Securities of such series, will
authenticate and make available for delivery, Securities of such series in
definitive form and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal
amount of the Global Security or Notes representing such series in exchange for
such Global Security or Notes.

   If the Securities of any series shall have been issued in the form of one or
more Global Securities and if an Event of Default with respect to the
Securities of such series shall have occurred and be continuing, the Company
will promptly execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order for the
authentication and delivery of definitive Securities of such series, will
authenticate and make available for delivery, Securities of such series in
definitive form and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal
amount of the Global Security or Notes representing such series in exchange for
such Global Security or Notes.

   If specified by the Company pursuant to Section 301 with respect to
Securities of a series, the U.S. Depositary for such series of Securities may
surrender a Global Security for such series of Securities in exchange in whole
or in part for Securities of such series in definitive form on such terms as
are acceptable to the Company and such depositary. Thereupon, the Company shall
execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery,
without charge:

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

     (ii) to the U.S. Depositary a new Global Security in a denomination
  equal to the difference, if any, between the principal amount of the
  surrendered Global Security and the aggregate principal amount of
  Securities delivered to Holders thereof.

   Upon the exchange of a Global Security for Securities in definitive form,
such Global Security shall be canceled by the Trustee. Securities issued in
exchange for a Global Security pursuant to this subsection (c) shall be
registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the U.S.
Depositary for such Global Security, pursuant to instructions from its direct
or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee. The Trustee
shall make available for delivery such Securities to the Persons in whose names
such Securities are so registered.

Section 305. Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange.

   The Company shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trustee Office of the
Trustee a register (the register maintained in such office and in any other
office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment being herein sometimes
collectively referred to as the "Security Register") in which, subject to such
reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the
registration of Securities and the transfers of Securities. The Trustee is
hereby appointed "Security Registrar" for the purpose of registering Securities
and transfers of Securities as herein provided; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the
Company may appoint co-Security Registrars or the terms of any series of
Securities may provide otherwise.

                                       23
<PAGE>

   Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Security of any series at
the office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment for that series, the
Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver or make
available for delivery, in the name of the designated transferee or
transferees, one or more new Securities of the same series, of any authorized
denominations and of like tenor and aggregate principal amount.

   Except as otherwise provided in Section 304 and this Section 305, at the
option of the Holder, Securities of any series may be exchanged for other
Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of like
tenor and aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Securities to be
exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered
for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver, the Securities which the Holder, making the exchange is entitled to
receive.

   If and to the extent specified pursuant to Section 301, the provisions of
this Section 305 shall be applicable to Securities of any series which are
Bearer Securities. At the option of the Holder thereof, to the extent permitted
by law, any Bearer Security of any series which by its terms is registrable as
to principal and interest may be exchanged for a Security of such series of
like aggregate principal amount and of a like Stated Maturity and with like
terms and conditions upon surrender of such Bearer Security at the Corporate
Trust Office or at any other office or agency of the Company designated
pursuant to Section 301 for the purpose of making any such exchanges. Any
Coupon Security surrendered for exchange shall be surrendered with all
unmatured Coupons and any matured Coupons in default attached thereto. If the
Holder of a Bearer Security is unable to produce any such unmatured Coupon or
Coupons or matured Coupon or Coupons in default, such exchange may be effected
if the Bearer Securities are accompanied by payment in funds acceptable to the
Company in an amount equal to the face amount of such missing Coupon or
Coupons, or the surrender of such missing Coupon or Coupons may be waived by
the Company and the Trustee if there is furnished to them such security or
indemnity as they may require to save each of them and any Paying Agent
harmless. If thereafter the Holder of such Bearer Security shall surrender to
any Paying Agent any such missing Coupon in respect of which such a payment
shall have been made, such Holder shall be entitled to receive the amount of
such payment; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that except as otherwise provided in Section
1002, interest represented by Coupons shall be payable only upon presentation
and surrender of those Coupons at an office or agency located outside the
United States. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in case a Bearer Security of any
series is surrendered at any such office or agency in exchange for a Security
of the same series and of a like Stated Maturity and with like terms and
conditions after the close of business at such office or agency on (i) any
Regular Record Date and before the opening of business at such office or agency
on the relevant Interest Payment Date, or (ii) any Special Record Date and
before the opening of business at such office or agency on the related proposed
date for payment of Defaulted Interest, such Bearer Security shall be
surrendered without the Coupon relating to such Interest Payment Date or
proposed date for payment, as the case may be (or, if such Coupon is so
surrendered with such Bearer Security, such Coupon shall be returned to the
Person so surrendering the Bearer Security), and interest or Defaulted
Interest, as the case may be, will not be payable on such Interest Payment Date
or proposed date for payment, as the case may be, in respect of the Security
issued in exchange for such Bearer Security, but will be payable only to the
Holder of such Coupon when due in accordance with the provisions of this
Indenture. The Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and
make available for delivery, the Security or Securities which the Holder making
the exchange is entitled to receive.

   Notwithstanding the foregoing, the exchange of Bearer Securities for
Securities will be subject to the provisions of United States Federal income
tax laws and regulations applicable to Securities in effect at the time of such
exchange.

   Except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301, in no event may
Securities, including Securities received in exchange for Bearer Securities, be
exchanged for Bearer Securities.

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


                                       24
<PAGE>

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

   No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange
of Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover
any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any
registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, other than exchanges
pursuant to Section 304, 906, or 1106 not involving any transfer.

   If the Securities of any series (or of any series and specified tenor) are
to be redeemed, the Company shall not be required (i) to issue, register the
transfer of or exchange any Securities of that series (or of that series and
specified tenor, as the case may be) during a period beginning at the opening
of business 15 days before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of
any such Securities selected for redemption and ending at the close of business
on the day of such mailing, or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any
Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed
portion of any Security being redeemed in part.

   The provisions of Clauses (1), (2), (3) and (4) below shall apply only to
Global Securities:

     (1) Each Global Security authenticated under this Indenture shall be
  registered in the name of the Depositary designated for such Global
  Security or a nominee thereof and delivered to such Depositary or a nominee
  thereof or custodian therefor, and each such Global Security shall
  constitute a single Security for all purposes of this Indenture.

     (2) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, no Global
  Security may be exchanged in whole or in part for Securities registered,
  and no transfer of a Global Security in whole or in part may be registered,
  in the name of any Person other than the Depositary for such Global
  Security or a nominee thereof unless (A) such Depositary has notified the
  Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such
  Global Security and a successor Depositary has not been appointed by the
  Corporation within 90 days of receipt by the Company of such notification,
  (B) if at any time the Depositary ceases to be a clearing agency registered
  under the Exchange Act at a time when the Depositary is required to be so
  registered to act as such Depositary and no successor Depositary shall have
  been appointed by the Company within 90 days after it became aware of such
  cessation, or (C) there shall exist such circumstances, if any, in addition
  to or in lieu of the foregoing as have been specified for this purpose as
  contemplated by Section 301. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may
  at any time in its sole discretion determine that Securities issued in the
  form of a Global Security shall no longer be represented in whole or in
  part by such Global Security, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company
  Order therefor, shall authenticate and deliver definitive Securities in
  exchange in whole or in part for such Global Security.

     (3) Subject to Clause (2) above, any exchange or transfer of a Global
  Security for other Securities may be made in whole or in part, and all
  Securities issued in exchange for or upon transfer of a Global Security or
  any portion thereof shall be registered in such names as the Depositary for
  such Global Security shall direct.

     (4) Every Security authenticated and delivered upon registration of
  transfer of, or in exchange for or in lieu of, a Global Security or any
  portion thereof, whether pursuant to this Section, Section 304, 306, 906,
  or 1106 or otherwise, shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of,
  and shall be, a Global Security, unless such Security is registered in the
  name of a Person other than the Depositary for such Global Security or a
  nominee thereof.

Section 306. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities.

   If any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee at its Corporate
Trust Office (in the case of Registered Securities) or at its principal London
office (in the case of Bearer Securities), or (ii) the Company and the Trustee
receive evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any
Security, and there is delivered to the Company and the Trustee such security
or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and any Paying
Agent harmless, and neither the Company nor the Trustee receives notice that
such Security has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, then the Company
shall execute and upon Company Request the Trustee shall authenticate and make
available for delivery, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Security, the Company shall execute and the Trustee
shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a new Security of the same
series and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not
contemporaneously outstanding.

   In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security has become or
is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead
of issuing a new Security, pay such Security; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that principal
of (and premium, if any) and any interest on Bearer Securities shall, except as
otherwise provided in Section 1002, be payable only at an office or agency
located outside the United States.

   Upon the issuance of any new Security under 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 Trustee) connected therewith.

   Every new Security of any series issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of
any destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall constitute an original additional
contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or
stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be
entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with
any and all other Securities of that series duly issued 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 or
payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities.

Section 307. Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved.

   Except as otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to
any series of Securities, interest on any Security which is payable, and is
punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be
paid to the Person in whose name that Security (or one or more Predecessor
Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date
for such interest notwithstanding the cancellation of such Registered Security
upon any transfer or exchange subsequent to the Regular Record Date. Unless
otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to the
Securities of any series, payment of interest on Registered Securities shall be
made at the place or places specified pursuant to Section 301 or, at the option
of the Company, by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto
as such address shall appear in the Security Register or, if provided pursuant
to Section 301, by wire transfer to an account designated by the Registered
Holder.

   Interest on any Bearer Security which is payable and is punctually paid or
duly provided for on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Holder of
the bearer Security upon presentation of such Bearer Security and notation
thereon on such Interest Payment Date at the principal London office of the
trustee or at such other Place of Payment outside the Untied States specified
pursuant to Section 301.

   Unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301, at the direction of the
Holder of any Bearer Security payable in Dollars, payment on such Bearer
Security will be made by check drawn on a bank in the City of New York or, if
agreeable to the Trustee, by wire transfer to a Dollar account maintained by
such Holder outside the United States. If such payment at the offices of all
Paying Agents outside the United States become illegal or is effectively
precluded because of the imposition of exchange controls or similar
restrictions on the

                                       26
<PAGE>

full payment or receipt of such amounts in Dollars, the Com pay will appoint an
office or agent in the United States at which such payment may be made. Unless
otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301, at the direction of the holder of
any Bearer Security payable in a Foreign Currency, payment on such Bearer
Security will be made by a check drawn on a bank outside the Untied States or
by wire transfer to an appropriate account maintained by such Holder outside
the United States. Except as provided in this paragraph, no payment on any
Bearer Security will be made by mail to an address in the United States or by
wire transfer to an account in the United States.

   Except as otherwise provided as contemplated by by Section 301 with respect
to any series of Securities, any interest on any Security of any series which
is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest
Payment Date (herein called "Defaulted Interest") shall, if such Security is a
Registered Security, forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the
relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder, and such
Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as
provided in Clause (1) or (2) below:

     (1) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to
  the Persons in whose names the Registered Securities of such series (or
  their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of
  business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted
  Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall
  notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed
  to be paid on each Security of such series and the date of the proposed
  payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an
  amount of money in the Currency or Currency unit in which the Securities of
  such series are payable (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Sections
  301 or 312) equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of
  such Defaulted Interested or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the
  Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such
  money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons
  entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this Clause provided. Thereupon
  the Trustee shall fix a Special Record date for the payment of such
  Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than
  10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days
  after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The
  Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such Special Record Date and,
  in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the
  proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date
  therefor to be given to each Holder of Securities of such series in the
  manner set forth in Section 106, not less than 10 days prior to such
  Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted
  Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been so mailed, such
  Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the
  Securities of such series (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are
  registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date and shall
  no longer be payable pursuant to the following Clause (2).

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

   Any Defaulted Interest payable in respect of Bearer Securities of any series
shall be payable pursuant to such procedures as may be satisfactory to the
Trustee in such manner that there is no discrimination between the Holders of
Registered Securities (if any) and Bearer Securities of such series, and notice
of the payment date therefor shall be given by the trustee, in the name and at
the expense of the Company, in the manner provided in Section 105 not more than
25 days, and not less than 20 days, prior to the date of the proposed payment.

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

Section 308. Persons Deemed Owners.

   Prior to due presentment of a Security for registration of transfer, the
Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the
Person in whose name any Registered Security is registered as the owner of such
Registered Security for the purpose of receiving payment of the principal of
(and premium, if any) and (subject to Section 307) interest, if any, on such
Registered Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such
Registered Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any
agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the
contrary. The Company, the Trustee, and any agent of the Company or the Trustee
may treat the Holder of any Bearer Security or of any Coupon as the absolute
owner of such Bearer Security or Coupon for the purposes of receiving payment
thereof or on account thereof and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or
not such Bearer Security or Coupon be overdue, and neither the Company, the
Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice
to the contrary. All payments made to any Holder, or upon his order, shall be
valid, and, to the extent of the sum or sums paid, effectual to satisfy and
discharge the liability for moneys payable upon such Security or Coupon.

   The ownership of Bearer Securities shall be proved by production of such
Bearer Securities or by a certificate executed by any bank or trust company,
which certificate shall be dated and shall state that, on the date thereof, a
Bearer Security bearing a specified identifying number or other mark was
deposited with, or exhibited to, the person executing such certificate by the
Person named in such certificate, or by any other proof of possession
reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee. The holding by the Person named in any
such certificate of any Bearer Security specified therein shall be presumed to
continue for a period of one year unless at the time of determination of such
holding (1) another certificate bearing a later date issued in respect of the
same Bearer Security shall be produced, (2) such Bearer Security shall be
produced by some other Person, (3) such Bearer Security shall have been
registered on the Security Register, if, pursuant to Section 301, such Bearer
Security can be so registered, or (4) such Bearer Security shall have been
canceled or paid.

Section 309. Cancellation.

   Unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301 for Securities of any
series, all Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of
transfer or exchange or for credit against any sinking fund payment shall, if
surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee
and shall be promptly cancelled by it. All Bearer Securities so delivered shall
be held by the Trustee and, upon instruction by the Company Order, shall be
canceled or held for reissuance. Bearer Securities held for reissuance may be
reissued only in exchange for Bearer Securities of the same series and of like
Stated Maturity and with like terms and conditions pursuant to Section 305 or
in replacement of mutilated, lost, stolen, or destroyed Bearer Securities of
the same series and of like Stated Maturity and with like terms and conditions.
All Bearer Securities held by the Trustee pending such cancellation or
reissuance shall be deemed to be delivered for cancellation for all purposes of
this Indenture and the Securities. The Company may at any time deliver to the
Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and delivered
hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and may
deliver to the Trustee (or to any other Person for delivery to the Trustee) for
cancellation any Securities previously authenticated hereunder which the
Company has not issued and sold, and all Securities so delivered shall be
promptly cancelled by the Trustee. No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu
of or in exchange for any Securities cancelled as provided in this Section,
except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All cancelled Securities held
by the Trustee shall be disposed of as directed by a Company Order; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that the Trustee shall not be required to destroy such cancelled
Securities. The acquisition of any Securities by the Company shall not operate
as a redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented thereby unless
and until such Securities are surrendered to the trustee for cancellation. In
the case of any temporary Global Security which shall be destroyed if the
entire aggregate principal amount to the Securities represented thereby has
been exchanged, the certificate of destruction shall state that all
certificates required pursuant to Section 304 to be given by the Euro-clear
Operator or CEDEL, have been duly presented to the Trustee by the Euro-clear
Operator or CEDEL, as the case may be. Permanent Global Securities shall not be
destroyed until exchanged in full for definitive Securities or until payment
thereof is made in full.

Section 310. Computation of Interest.

   Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for Securities
of any series, interest on the Securities of each series shall be computed on
the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

Section 311. CUSIP Numbers.

   The Corporation in issuing the Securities may use "CUSIP" numbers (if then
generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use "CUSIP" numbers in notices
of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may
state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers
either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of redemption
and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers
printed on the Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any
defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company will promptly notify the
Trustee of any change in the CUSIP numbers.

Section 312. Currency of Payments in Respect of Securities.

   (a) Except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301 for Bearer
Securities of any series, payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and
interest on Bearer Securities of such series denominated in any Currency will
be made in such Currency.

   (b) With respect to Registered Securities of any series not permitting the
election provided for in paragraph (c) below or the Holders of which have not
made the election provided for in paragraph (c) below, except as provided in
paragraph (e) below, payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and any
interest on any Registered Security of such series will be made in the Currency
in which such Registered Security is payable.

   (c) It may be provided pursuant to Section 301 with respect to the
Registered Securities of any series that Holders shall have the option, subject
to paragraphs (e) and (f) below, to receive payments of principal of (and
premium, if any) and any interest on such Registered Securities in any of the
Currencies which may be designated for such election by delivering to the
Trustee a written election, to be in form and substance satisfactory to the
Trustee, not later than the close of business on the Election Date immediately
preceding the applicable payment date. If a Holder so elects to receive such
payments in any such Currency, such election will remain in effect for such
Holder or any transferee of such Holder until changed by such Holder or such
transferee by written notice to the Trustee (but any such change must be made
not later than the close of business on the Election Date immediately preceding
the next payment date to be effective for the payment to be made on such
payment date, and no such change or election may be made with respect to
payments to be made on any Registered Security of such series with respect to
which an Event of Default has occurred or notice of redemption has been given
by the Company pursuant to Article Eleven). Any Holder of any such Registered
Security who shall not have delivered any such election to the Trustee by the
close of business on the applicable Election Date will be paid the amount due
on the applicable payment date in the relevant Currency as provided in
paragraph (b) of this Section 312.

   (d) If the election referred to in paragraph (c) above has been provided for
pursuant to Section 301, then not later than the fourth Business Day after the
Election Date for each payment date, the Trustee will deliver to the Company a
written notice specifying, in the Currency in which each series of the
Registered Securities is payable, the respective aggregate amounts of principal
of (and premium, if any) and any interest on the Registered Securities to be
paid on such payment date, specifying the amounts so payable in respect of the
Registered Securities as to which the Holders of Registered Securities
denominated in any Currency shall have elected to be paid in another Currency
as provided in paragraph (c) above. If the election referred to in paragraph
(c) above has been provided for pursuant to Section 301 and if at least one
Holder has made such election, then, on the second Business Day preceding each
payment date, the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Exchange Rate
Officer's Certificate in respect of the Currency payments to be made on such

                                       29
<PAGE>

payment date. The Currency amount receivable by Holders of Registered
Securities who have elected payment in a Currency as provided in paragraph (c)
above shall be determined by the Company on the basis of the applicable Market
Exchange Rate in effect on the third Business Day (the "Valuation Date")
immediately preceding each payment date.

   (e) If a Conversion Event occurs with respect to a Foreign Currency, the
Euro or any other Currency unit in which any of the Securities are denominated
or payable, other than pursuant to an election provided for pursuant to
paragraph (c) above, then with respect to each date for the payment of
principal of (and premium, if any) and any interest on the applicable
Securities denominated or payable in such Foreign Currency, the Euro or such
other Currency unit occurring after the last date on which such Foreign
Currency, the Euro or such other Currency unit was used (the "Conversion
Date"), the Dollar shall be the Currency of payment for use on each such
payment date. The Dollar amount to be paid by the Company to the Trustee and by
the Trustee or any Paying Agent to the Holders of such Securities with respect
to such payment date shall be the Dollar Equivalent of the Foreign Currency or,
in the case of a Currency unit, the Dollar Equivalent of the Currency Unit, in
each case as determined by the Currency Determination Agent, if any, or, if
there shall not be a Currency Determination Agent, then by the Trustee, in the
manner provided in paragraph (g) or (h) below.

   (f) If the Holder of a Registered Security denominated in any Currency shall
have elected to be paid in another Currency as provided in paragraph (c) above,
and a Conversion Event occurs with respect to such elected Currency, such
Holder shall receive payment in the Currency in which payment would have been
made in the absence of such election. If a Conversion Event occurs with respect
to the Currency in which payment would have been made in the absence of such
election, such Holder shall receive payment in Dollars as provided in paragraph
(e) of this Section 312.

   (g) The "Dollar Equivalent of the Foreign Currency" shall be determined by
the Currency Determination Agent, if any, or, if there shall not be a Currency
Determination Agent, then by the Trustee, and shall be obtained for each
subsequent payment date by converting the specified Foreign Currency into
Dollars at the Market Exchange Rate on the Conversion Date.

   (h) The "Dollar Equivalent of the Currency Unit" shall be determined by the
Currency Determination Agent, if any, or, if there shall not be a Currency
Determination Agent, then by the Trustee, and subject to the provisions of
paragraph (j) below, shall be the sum of each amount obtained by converting the
Specified Amount of each Component Currency into Dollars at the Market Exchange
Rate for such Component Currency on the Valuation Date with respect to each
payment.

   (i) For purposes of this Section 312 the following terms shall have the
following meanings:

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

     A "Conversion Event" means the cessation of (i) a Foreign Currency to be
  used both by the government of the country which issued such Currency and
  for the settlement of transactions by public institutions of or within the
  international banking community, (ii) the Euro to be used both within the
  European Monetary System and for the settlement of transaction by public
  institutions of or within the European Communities or (iii) any Currency
  unit other than the Euro to be used for the purposes for which is was
  established.

     "Currency Determination Agent" means the New York Clearing House bank,
  if any, from time to time selected by the Trustee for purposes of Section
  312; provided that such agent shall accept such appointment in writing and
  the terms of such appointment shall be acceptable to the Company and shall,
  in the opinion of the Company and the Trustee at the time of such
  appointment, require such agent to make the determinations required by this
  Indenture by a method consistent with the method provided in this Indenture
  for the making of such decision or determination.


                                       30
<PAGE>

     "Exchange Rate Officer's Certificate" means a telex or a certificate
  setting forth (i) the applicable Market Exchange Rate and (ii) the Dollar,
  Foreign Currency or Currency unit amounts of principal, premium, if any,
  and any interest respectively (on an aggregate basis and on the basis of a
  Security having the lowest denomination principal amount determined in
  accordance with Section 302 in the relevant Currency or Currency unit),
  payable on the basis of such Market Exchange Rate sent (in the case of a
  telex) or signed (in the case of a certificate) by the Treasurer or any
  Assistant Treasurer of the Company.

     "Foreign Currency" means a currency issued by the government of any
  country other than the United States or a composite currency or currency
  unit the value of which is determined by reference to the values of the
  currencies of any group of countries.

     A "Specified Amount" of a Component Currency shall mean the number of
  units of such Component Currency or fractions thereof which were
  represented in the relevant Currency unit, including, but not limited to,
  the Euro, on the Conversion Date. If after the Conversion Date the official
  unit of any Component Currency is altered by way of combination or
  subdivision, the Specified Amount of such Component Currency shall be
  divided or multiplied in the same proportion. If after the Conversion Date
  two or more Component Currencies are consolidated into a single Currency,
  the respective Specified Amounts of such Component Currencies shall be
  replaced by an amount in such single Currency equal to the sum of the
  respective Specified Amounts of such consolidated Component Currencies
  expressed in such single Currency, and such amount shall thereafter be a
  Specified Amount and such single Currency shall thereafter be a Component
  Currency. If after the Conversion Date any Component Currency shall be
  divided into two or more Currencies, the Specified Amount of such Component
  Currency shall be replaced by amounts of such two or more Currencies with
  appropriate Dollar equivalents at the Market Exchange Rate on the date of
  such replacement equal to the Dollar equivalent of the Specified Amount of
  such former Component Currency at the Market Exchange Rate on such date,
  and such amounts shall thereafter be Specified Amounts and such Currencies
  shall thereafter be Component Currencies. If after the Conversion Date of
  the relevant Currency unit, including, but not limited to, the Euro, a
  Conversion Event (other than any event referred to above in this definition
  of "Specified Amount") occurs with respect to any Component Currency of
  such Currency unit, the Specified Amount of such Component Currency shall,
  for purposes of calculating the Dollar Equivalent of the Currency Unit, be
  converted into Dollars at the Market Exchange Rate in effect on the
  Conversion Date of such Component Currency.

     "Election Date" shall mean the record date with respect to any payment
  date, and with respect to the Maturity shall mean the record date (if
  within 16 or fewer days prior to the Maturity) immediately preceding the
  Maturity, and with respect to any series of Securities whose record date
  immediately preceding the Maturity is more than 16 days prior to the
  Maturity or any series of Securities for which no record dates are provided
  with respect to interest payments, shall mean the date which is 16 days
  prior to the Maturity.

   (j) All decisions and determinations of the Trustee or the Currency
Determination Agent, if any, regarding the Dollar Equivalent of the Foreign
Currency, the Dollar Equivalent of the Currency Unit and the Market Exchange
Rate shall be in its sole discretion and shall, in the absence of manifest
error, be conclusive for all purposes and irrevocably binding upon the Company
and all Holders of the Securities denominated or payable in the relevant
Currency. In the event of a Conversion Event with respect to a Foreign
Currency, the Company, after learning thereof, will immediately give written
notice thereof to the Trustee (and the Trustee will promptly thereafter give
notice in the manner provided in Section 105 to the Holders) specifying the
Conversion Date. In the event of a Conversion Event with respect to the Euro or
any other Currency unit in which Securities are denominated or payable, the
Company, after learning thereof, will immediately give notice thereof to the
Trustee (and the Trustee will promptly thereafter give written notice in the
manner provided in Section 105 to the Holders) specifying the Conversion Date
and the Specified Amount of each Component Currency on the Conversion Date. In
the event of any subsequent change in any Component Currency as set forth in
the definition of Specified Amount above, the Company, after learning thereof,
will similarly give written notice to the Trustee. The Trustee shall be fully
justified and protected in relying and acting upon information received

                                       31
<PAGE>

by it from the Company and the Currency Determination Agent, if any, and shall
not otherwise have any duty or obligation to determine such information
independently.

   (k) For purposes of any provision of the Indenture where the Holders of
Outstanding Securities may perform an Act which requires that a specified
percentage of the Outstanding Securities of all series perform such Act and for
purposes of any decision or determination by the Trustee of amounts due and
unpaid for the principal (and premium, if any) and interest on the Securities
of all series in respect of which moneys are to be disbursed ratably, the
principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Outstanding Securities
denominated in a Foreign Currency will be the amount in Dollars based upon the
Market Exchange Rate for Securities of such series, as of the date for
determining whether the Holders entitled to perform such Act have performed it,
or as of the date of such decision or determination by the Trustee, as the case
may be.

Section 313. Judgments.

   If for the purpose of obtaining a judgment in any court with respect to any
obligation of the Company hereunder or under any Security, it shall become
necessary to convert into any other Currency any amount in the Currency due
hereunder or under such Security, then such conversion shall be made at the
Market Exchange Rate as in effect on the date the Company shall make payment to
any Person in satisfaction of such judgment. If pursuant to any such judgment,
conversion shall be made on a date other than the date payment is made and
there shall occur a change between such Market Exchange Rate and the Market
Exchange Rate as in effect on the date of payment, the Company agrees to pay
such additional amounts (if any) as may be necessary to ensure that the amount
paid is equal to the amount in such other Currency which, when converted at the
Market Exchange Rate as in effect on the date of payment or distribution, is
the amount then due hereunder or under such Security. Any amount due from the
Company under this Section 313 shall be due as a separate debt and is not to be
affected by or merged into any judgment being obtained for any other sums due
hereunder or in respect of any Security. In no event, however, shall the
Company be required to pay more in the Currency or Currency unit due hereunder
or under such Security at the Market Exchange Rate as in effect when payment is
made than the amount of Currency stated to be due hereunder or under such
Security so that in any event the Company's obligations hereunder or under such
Security will be effectively maintained as obligations in such Currency, and
the Company shall be entitled to withhold (or be reimbursed for, as the case
may be) any excess of the amount actually realized upon any such conversion
over the amount due and payable on the date of payment or distribution.

Section 314. Exchange Upon Default.

   If default is made in the payments referred to in Section 1001, then the
Company hereby undertakes that, upon presentation and surrender of a permanent
Global Security to the Trustee (or to any other Person or at any other address
as the Company may designate in writing), on any Business Day on or after the
maturity date thereof, the Company will issue and the Trustee will authenticate
and make available for delivery to the bearer of such permanent Global Security
duly executed and authenticated definitive Securities with the same issue date
and maturity date as set out in such permanent Global Security.

                                  ARTICLE IV.

                          SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE.

Section 401. Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture.

   This Indenture shall upon Company Request cease to be of further effect with
respect to any series of Securities specified in such Company Request (except
as to any surviving rights of registration of transfer or exchange of
Securities herein expressly provided for and rights to receive payments of
principal (and premium,

                                       32
<PAGE>

if any) and interest on such Securities), and the Trustee, at the expense of
the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and
discharge of this Indenture, when

   (1) either

     (A) all Securities theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than
  (i) Securities which have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which have
  been replaced or paid as provided in Section 306 and (ii) Securities for
  whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated
  and held in trust by the Company and thereafter repaid to the Company or
  discharged from such trust, as provided in Section 1003) have been
  delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or

     (B) all such Securities not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for
  cancellation

       (i) have become due and payable, or

       (ii) will become due and payable at their Stated Maturity within one
    year; or

       (iii) are to be called for redemption within one year under
    arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of
    redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the
    Company,

  and the Company, either complies with any other condition or terms
  specified pursuant to Section 301, or if not so specified in the case of
  (i), (ii) or (iii) above, has irrevocably deposited or caused to be
  deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust for the purpose (I) an
  amount in the Currency in which such Securities are denominated (except as
  otherwise provided pursuant to Section 301 or 312) sufficient to pay and
  discharge the entire indebtedness on such Securities for principal (and
  premium, if any) and interest to the date of such deposit (in the case of
  Securities which have become due and payable) or to the Stated Maturity or
  Redemption Date, as the case may be, (II) Government Obligations (as
  defined in Section 1304) which through the scheduled payment of principal
  and interest in respect thereof in accordance with their terms will
  provide, not later than the due date of any payment, an amount equal to the
  amount set forth in subsection I immediately above, or (III) a combination
  thereof, sufficient, in the case of (II) or (III), in the opinion of
  nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a
  written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay and
  discharge, and which shall be applied by the Trustee to pay and discharge,
  the entire indebtedness on such Securities not therefore delivered to the
  Trustee for cancellation, for principal and any premium and interest to the
  date of such deposit (in the case of Securities which have become due and
  payable) or to the Stated Maturity or Redemption Date, as the case may be;
  PROVIDED, HOWEVER, in the event a petition for relief under the Federal
  bankruptcy laws, as now or hereafter constituted, or any other applicable
  Federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, is filed with
  respect to the Company within 91 days after the deposit and the Trustee is
  required to return the deposited money to the Company, the obligations of
  the Company under this Indenture with respect to such Securities shall not
  be deemed terminated or discharged;

   (2) the Company has paid or cause to be paid all other sums payable
hereunder by the Company;

   (3) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate and an
Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent herein provided
for relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect
to such series have been complied with; and

   (4) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel or a
ruling by the Internal Revenue Service to the effect that Holders of the
Securities of the series will not recognize income, gain or loss for general
income tax purposes as a result of such deposit and discharge.

   Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the
obligations of the Company to the Trustee under Section 607, the obligations of
the Company to any Authenticating Agent under Section 614 and the obligations
of the Company under Section 1001 and, if money shall have been deposited with
the Trustee pursuant to subclause (b) of Clause (1) of this Section, the
obligations of the Trustee under Section 402 and the

                                       33
<PAGE>

last paragraph of Section 1003 shall survive. If, after the deposit referred to
in Section 401 has been made, (x) the Holder of a Security is entitled to, and
does, elect pursuant to Section 312(c), to receive payment in a Currency other
than that in which the deposit pursuant to Section 401 was made, or (y) if a
Conversion Event occurs with respect to the Currency in which the deposit was
made or elected to be received by the Holder pursuant to Section 312 (c), then
the indebtedness represented by such Security shall be fully discharged to the
extent that the deposit made with respect to such Security shall be converted
into the Currency in which such payment is made.

Section 402. Application of Trust Money.

   Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 1003, all money
deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 401 shall be held in trust and
applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Securities and this
Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent
(including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may
determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal and any premium
and interest for whose payment such money has been deposited with the Trustee.

                                   ARTICLE V.

                                   REMEDIES.

Section 501. Events of Default.

   "Event of Default", wherever used herein with respect to Securities of any
series, means any one of the following events (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) unless it is inapplicable to a particular series or is
specifically deleted or modified in the Board Resolution (or action taken
pursuant thereto), Officers' Certificate or supplemental indenture under which
such series of Securities is issued or has been deleted or modified in an
indenture supplement hereto:

     (1)  default in the payment of any interest upon any Security of that
  series when it becomes due and payable, and continuance of such default for
  a period of 60 days; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if the Company is permitted by
  the terms of the Securities of such series to defer the payment in
  question, the date on which such payment is due and payable shall be the
  date on which the Company is required to make payment following such
  deferral, if such deferral has been elected pursuant to the terms of the
  Securities; or

     (2) default in the payment of the principal of or, any premium, any
  Security of that series at its Maturity; or

     (3) default in the making of any sinking fund payment, when and as due
  by the terms of a Security of that series, and continuance of such default
  for a period of 60 days or;

     (4) default in the performance, or breach, of any covenant of the
  Company in this Indenture (other than a covenant a default in whose
  performance or whose breach is elsewhere in this Section specifically dealt
  with or which has expressly been included in this Indenture solely for the
  benefit of series of Securities other than that series), 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 Company by the Trustee or to the
  Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 33% in principal amount
  of the Outstanding Securities of that series 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, unless the Trustee, or the
  Trustee and the Holders of a principal amount of Securities of such series
  not less than the principal amount of Securities the Holders of which gave
  such notice, as the case may be, shall agree in writing to an extension of
  such period prior to its expiration; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Trustee,
  or the Trustee and the Holders of such

                                       34
<PAGE>

  principal amount of Securities of such series, as the case may be, shall be
  deemed to have agreed to an extension of such period if corrective action
  is initiated by the Company, within such period and is being diligently
  pursued;

     (5) the entry by a court having jurisdiction in the premises of (A) a
  decree or order for relief in respect of the Company in an involuntary case
  or proceeding under any applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency,
  reorganization or other similar law or (B) a decree or order adjudging the
  Company a bankrupt or insolvent, or approving as properly filed a petition
  seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition of or in
  respect of the Company under any applicable federal or state law, or
  appointing a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee,
  sequestrator or other similar official of the Company or of any substantial
  part of its property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of its
  affairs, and the continuance of any such decree or ordering for relief or
  any such other decree or order unstayed and in effect for a period of 90
  consecutive days;

     (6) the commencement by the Company of a voluntary case or proceeding
  under any applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency,
  reorganization or other similar law or of any other case or proceeding to
  be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or the consent by it to the entry
  of a decree or order for relief in respect of the Company in an involuntary
  case or proceeding under any applicable federal or state bankruptcy,
  insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or to the commencement of
  any bankruptcy or insolvency case or proceeding against it, or the filing
  by it of a petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization or relief
  under any applicable federal or state law, or the consent by it to the
  filing of such petition or to the appointment of or taking possession by a
  custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other
  similar official of the Company or of any substantial part of its property,
  or the making by it of an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the
  admission by it in writing of its inability to pay its debts generally as
  they become due, or authorization of any such action by the Board of
  Directors; or

     (7) any other Event of Default provided with respect to Securities of
  that series pursuant to Section 301.

Section 502. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.

   If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series at the time
Outstanding occurs and is continuing, then and in every such case the Trustee
or the Holders of not less than 33% in principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities of that series may declare the principal amount of all of the
Securities of that series (or, if any of the Securities of that series are
Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount of
such Securities as may be specified in the terms thereof) to be due and payable
immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given
by Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal amount plus accrued
and unpaid interest (or specified amount shall) become immediately due and
payable. Upon payment of such amount in the Currency in which such Securities
are denominated (except as otherwise provided pursuant to Section 301 or 312),
all obligations of the Company in respect of the payment of principal of the
Securities of such series shall terminate.

   At any time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to
Securities of any series has been made and before a judgment or decree for
payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in
this Article provided, the Event of Default giving rise to such declaration of
acceleration shall, without further act, be deemed to have been waived, and
such declaration and its consequences shall, without further act, be deemed to
have been rescinded and annulled, if

   (1) the Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to
pay

     (A) all overdue interest on all Securities of that series,

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

                                       35
<PAGE>

     (C) to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest upon
  overdue interest at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such
  Securities; and

     (D) all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and the
  reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
  Trustee, its agents and counsel; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that all sums payable
  under this clause (D) shall be paid in Dollars;

   and

   (2) all Events of Default with respect to Securities of that series, other
than the non-payment of the principal of Securities of that series which have
become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or
waived as provided in Section 513.

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

Section 503. Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee.

   The Company covenants that if

     (1) default is made in the payment of any interest on any Security when
  such interest becomes due and payable and such default continues for a
  period of 60 days,

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

     (3) default is made in the making or satisfaction of any sinking fund
  payment or analogous obligation when the same becomes due pursuant to the
  terms of the Securities of any series and such default continues for a
  period of 60 days,

the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the
Holders of such Securities, the whole amount then due and payable on such
Securities for principal and any premium and interest and, to the extent that
payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, interest on any overdue
principal and any premium and on any overdue interest, at the rate or rates
prescribed therefor in such Securities, and, in addition thereto, such further
amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection,
including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of
the Trustee, its agents and counsel.

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

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

Section 504. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

   In case of any judicial proceeding relative to the Company (or any other
obligor upon the Securities), its property or its creditors, the Trustee shall
be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise, to
take any and all actions authorized under the Trust Indenture Act in order to
have claims of the Holders and the Trustee allowed in any such proceeding. In
particular, the Trustee shall be authorized to collect and receive any moneys
or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute
the same;

                                       36
<PAGE>

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or
other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by
each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the
Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders,
to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation,
expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel,
and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 607.

   No provision of this Indenture shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to
authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of
reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities
or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in
respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
that the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders, vote for the election of a
trustee in bankruptcy or similar official and be a member of a creditor's or
other similar committee.

Section 505. Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Securities.

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

of the distribution of such money on account of principal or any premium or

Section 507. Limitation on Suits.

   No Holder of any Security of any series shall have any right to institute
any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for
the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder,
unless

     (1) such Holder has previously given written notice to the Trustee of a
  continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities of that series
  as part of the majority set forth in Section 507(2) below;

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

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

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

                                       37
<PAGE>

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

it being understood and intended that no one or more of such Holders shall have
any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision
of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other of
such Holders or of the Holders of Outstanding Securities of any other series,,
or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other of such
Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner
herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all such Holders. For
the protection and enforcement of the provisions of this Section 507, each and
every Holder of Securities of any series and the Trustee for such series shall
be entitled to such relief as can be given at law or in equity.

Section 508. Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal, Premium and
Interest.

   Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any
Security shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive
payment of the principal of and any premium and (subject to Section 307) any
interest on such Security on the respective Stated Maturities expressed in such
Security (or, in the case of redemption, on the Redemption Date) and to
institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such rights shall
not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.

Section 509. Restoration of Rights and Remedies.

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

Section 510. Rights and Remedies Cumulative.

   Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities in the last paragraph of
Section 306, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the
Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or
remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be
cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or
now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or
employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent
the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or
remedy.

Section 511. Delay or Omission Not Waiver.

   No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Securities to
exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair
any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or
an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law
to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as
often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case
may be.

Section 512. Control by Holders.

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

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

                                       38
<PAGE>

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

     (3) subject to the provisions of Section 601, the Trustee shall have the
  right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee in good faith
  shall, by a Responsible Officer or Officers of the Trustee, determine that
  the proceeding so directed would involve the Trustee in personal liability
  or would be unjustly prejudicial to the Holders of Securities of such
  series not joining in any such direction and for which the Trustee has not
  received satisfactory indemnity.

Section 513. Waiver of Past Defaults.

   The Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of all series with respect to which any default under
the Indenture shall have occurred and be continuing (voting as a single class),
by notice to the Trustee, may, on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities
of such series, waive any past default under the Indenture and its
consequences, except a default

     (1) in payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on any
  Security of such series, or in the payment of any sinking fund installment
  or analogous obligation with respect to the Securities of such series, or

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

   Upon any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist and be deemed 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 impair
any right consequent thereon.

Section 514. Undertaking for Costs.

   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, a court may require any party litigant in such suit, other than
the Trustee, to file an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and may
assess costs against any such party litigant, in the manner and to the extent
provided in the Trust Indenture Act; provided that neither this Section nor the
Trust Indenture Act shall be deemed to authorize any court to require such an
undertaking or to make such an assessment in any suit instituted by the Company
or by the Trustee.

Section 515. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws.

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

                                  ARTICLE VI.

                                  THE TRUSTEE.

Section 601. Certain Duties and Responsibilities.

   With respect to the Holders of any series of Securities issued hereunder,
the Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default with the respect to
the Securities of that series and after the curing or waiving of all Events of
Default which may have occurred with respect to that series, undertakes to
perform

                                       39
<PAGE>

such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this
Indenture. In case an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series
has occurred (which has not been cured or waived) the Trustee shall exercise
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 willful misconduct, except that

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

     (A) the duties and obligations of the Trustee with respect to 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 in this
  Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this
  Indenture against the Trustee; and

     (B) 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 certificates or
  opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of
  this Indenture; but, in the case of any such certificates or opinions which
  by any provisions 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.

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

   (3) 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 512 relating to the time, method and place of
conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or
exercising any trust or 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 personal 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 grounds for believing that the
repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such liability is not
reasonably assured to it or it does not receive an indemnity satisfactory to it
against such risk, liability, loss, fee or expense which might be incurred by
it in compliance with such request or directions.

Section 602. Notice of Defaults.

   If a default occurs hereunder with respect to Securities of any series, the
Trustee shall give the Holders of Securities of such series notice of such
default as and to the extent provided by the Trust Indenture Act; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that in the case of any default of the character specified in Section
501(4) with respect to Securities of such series, no such notice to Holders
shall be given until at least 30 days after the occurrence thereof. For the
purpose of this Section, the term "default" means any event which is, or after
notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default with respect
to Securities of such series.

Section 603. Certain Rights of Trustee.

   Subject to the provisions of Section 601:

     (1) the Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining
  from acting upon any Officer's Certificate, Opinion of Counsel, resolution,
  certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request,
  direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence or
  indebtedness or other paper document believed by it to be genuine and to
  have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties;


                                       40
<PAGE>

     (2) any request or direction of the Company mentioned herein shall be
  sufficiently evidenced by a Company Request or Company Order and any
  resolution of the Board of Directors may be sufficiently evidenced by a
  Board Resolution;

     (3) whenever in the administration of this Indenture the Trustee shall
  deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking,
  suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the Trustee (unless other
  evidence be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of bad
  faith on its part, rely upon an Officers' Certificate or an Opinion of
  Counsel;

     (4) the Trustee may consult with counsel and the 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 by it
  hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon;

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

     (6) the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the
  facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement,
  instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order,
  bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or
  document, but the Trustee in its discretion, may make such further inquiry
  or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the
  Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it
  shall be entitled, at reasonable times previously notified to the Company
  to examine the relevant books, records and premises of the Company,
  personally or by agent or attorney;

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

     (8) the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or
  Event of Default except (i) any Event of Default occurring pursuant to
  Sections 501(1), 501(2) or 501(3) or (ii) any Default or Event of Default
  of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has received written
  notification or obtained actual knowledge.

     (9) The Trustee may rely on any document believed by it to be genuine
  and to have been signed or presented by the proper Person. The Trustee need
  not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document.

     (10) Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an
  Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel. The Trustee shall not be
  liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance
  on such certificate or opinion.

     (11) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to
  take in good faith which it reasonably believes to be authorized or within
  its rights or powers.

     (12) 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 Holders pursuant to the provisions of this
  Indenture, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable
  security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may
  be incurred therein or thereby.

Section 604. Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Securities.

   The recitals contained herein and in the Securities, except the Trustee's
certificates of authentication, shall be taken as the statements of the
Company, and neither the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent assumes any
responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as
to the validity or sufficiency of this

                                       41
<PAGE>

Indenture or of the Securities of any series. Neither the Trustee nor any
Authenticating Agent shall be accountable for the use or application by the
Company of Securities or the proceeds thereof.

Section 605. May Hold Securities.

   The Trustee, any Authenticating Agent, any Paying Agent, any Security
Registrar or any other agent of the Company, in its individual or any other
capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and, subject to
Sections 608 and 613, may otherwise deal with the Company with the same rights
it would have if it were not Trustee, Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent,
Security Registrar or such other agent.

Section 606. Money Held In Trust.

   Money held by the Trustee in trust hereunder need not be segregated from
other funds except to the extent required by law. The Trustee shall be under no
liability for interest on any money received by it hereunder except as
otherwise agreed with the Company.

Section 607. Compensation and Reimbursement.

   The Company agrees

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

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

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

   To secure the Issuers' payment obligations in this Section 607, the Trustee
shall have a senior claim and lien prior to the Securities against all money or
property held or collected by the Trustee, in its capacity as Trustee.

   When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of
Default specified in clause (5), (6) or (7) of Section 501 occurs, the expenses
(including the reasonable fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) and the
compensation for the services shall be preferred over the status of the Holders
in a proceeding under any bankruptcy law and are intended to constitute
expenses of administration under any bankruptcy law. The Company's obligations
under this Section 607 and any claim arising hereunder shall survive the
resignation or removal of any Trustee, the discharge of the Company's
obligations hereunder and any rejection or termination under any bankruptcy
law.

Section 608. Conflicting Interests.

   If the Trustee has or shall acquire a conflicting interest within the
meaning of the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee shall either eliminate such
interest or resign, to the extent and in the manner provided by, and subject to
the provisions of, the Trust Indenture Act and in this Indenture. To the extent
provided by such Act, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have a conflicting
interest by virtue of being a trustee under this Indenture with respect to
Securities of more than one series.

                                       42
<PAGE>

Section 609. Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility.

   There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder with respect to the
Securities of each series, which may be a Trustee hereunder for Securities of
one or more other series. Each Trustee shall be a person that is eligible
pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act to act as such and has a combined capital
and surplus of at least $50,000,000. If any such person publishes reports of
condition at least annually, pursuant to law, or to the requirements of its
supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section and
to the extent permitted by the Trust Indenture Act, the combined capital and
surplus of such person shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus
as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any
time the Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series 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. Neither the Company nor any person directly or indirectly controlling,
controlled by, or under common control with the Company shall serve as Trustee
upon any Securities.

Section 610. Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor.

   No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor
Trustee pursuant to this Article shall become effective until the acceptance of
appointment by the successor Trustee in accordance with the applicable
requirements of Section 611.

   The Trustee may resign at any time with respect to the Securities of one or
more series by giving written notice thereof to the Company. If the instrument
of acceptance by a successor Trustee required by Section 611 shall not have
been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such notice of
resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the
Securities of such series.

   The Trustee may be removed at any time with respect to the Securities of any
series by Act of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of such series, delivered to the Trustee and to the
Company. If an instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee shall not have
been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the removal of the Trustee,
the removed Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such
series.

   If at any time:

     (1) the Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 608 after written
  request therefor by the Company or by any Holder who has been a bona fide
  Holder of a Security for at least six months, or

     (2) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 609 and shall
  fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any such
  Holder, or

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

then, in any such case, (A) the Company by a Board Resolution may remove the
Trustee with respect to all Securities, or (B) subject to Section 514, any
Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security 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 with respect to all
Securities and the appointment of a successor Trustee or Trustees for the
Securities of such series.

   If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if
a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause, with respect to
the Securities of one or more series, the Company, by a Board Resolution, shall
promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees with respect to the Securities
of that or those series (it being understood that any such successor Trustee
may be appointed with respect to the Securities of one or more or all of such
series and that at any time there shall be only one Trustee with respect to the

                                       43
<PAGE>

Securities of any particular series) and shall comply with the applicable
requirements of Section 611. If, within one year after such resignation,
removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee
with respect to the Securities of any series shall be appointed by Act of the
Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities of such series delivered to the Company and the retiring Trustee,
the successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such
appointment in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 611,
become the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and
to that extent supercede the successor Trustee appointed by the Company. If no
successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall have been
so appointed by the Company or the Holders and accepted appointment in the
manner required by Section 611, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a
Security 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 appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such
series.

   The Company shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of the
Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series and each appointment of a
successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series to all Holders
of Securities of such series in the manner provided in Section 106. Each notice
shall include the name of the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities
of such series and the address of its Corporate Trust Office.

Section 611. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor.

   In the case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect
to all Securities, each such successor Trustee so appointed shall execute,
acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to the retiring Trustee an
instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal
of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee,
without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the
rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on the request
of the Company or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon
payment of its charges, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such
successor Trustee all the rights, powers, and trusts of the retiring Trustee
and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all
property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder, subject to its
claim, if any, provided for in Section 607.

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

                                       44
<PAGE>

   Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Company shall execute any
and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to
such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred to in the
first or second preceding paragraph, as the case may be.

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

Section 612. Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business.

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

Section 613. Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company.

   If and when the Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the Company (or any
other obligor upon the Securities), the Trustee shall be subject to the
provisions of the Trust Indenture Act regarding the collection of claims
against the Company (or any such other obligor).

Section 614. Appointment of Authenticating Agent.

   The Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents acceptable to the
Company with respect to one or more series of Securities which shall be
authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Securities of such
series issued upon exchange, registration of transfer or partial redemption
thereof or pursuant to Section 306, and Securities so authenticated shall be
entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory
for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. Wherever
reference is made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of
Securities by the Trustee or the Trustee's certificate of authentication, such
reference shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of
the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication
executed on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent. Each
Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Company and shall at all times
be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United
States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, authorized
under such laws to act as Authenticating Agent, having a combined capital and
surplus of not less than $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination
by federal or state authority. If such Authenticating Agent publishes reports
of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of said
supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the
combined capital and surplus of such Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be
its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of
condition so published. If at any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to
be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, such
Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect
specified in this Section.

   Any corporation into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or
converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting
from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent
shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate agency or
corporate trust

                                       45

business of an Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be an Authenticating
Agent, provided such corporation shall be otherwise eligible under this
Section, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on
the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent. As soon as practicable
thereafter, the successor Authenticating Agent shall mail a notice of its
succession to the Trustee and the Company.

   An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice
thereof to the Trustee and to the Company. The Trustee may at any time
terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice
thereof to such Authenticating Agent and to the Company. Upon receiving such a
notice or resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time such
Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of this Section, the Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating
Agent which shall be acceptable to the Company and shall give notice of such
appointment in the manner provided in Section 106 to all Holders of Securities
of the series with respect to which such Authenticating Agent will serve. Any
successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder
shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor
hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent.
No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the
provisions of this Section.

   The Company agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time
reasonable compensation for its services under this Section, and the Company
agrees to indemnify each Authenticating Agent on the same terms and conditions
as set forth in Section 607.

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

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

transfer or exchange, where Securities of that series that are convertible may

  any, may be presented and surrendered for payment (including payment of any
  additional amounts payable on Securities of that series, if so provided
  pursuant to Section 301); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if the Securities of that
  series are listed on The Stock Exchange of the United Kingdom and the
  Republic of Ireland, the Luxembourg Stock Exchange or any other stock
  exchange located outside the United States and such stock exchange shall so
  require, the Company will maintain a Paying Agent for the Securities of
  that series in London, Luxembourg or any other required city located
  outside the United States, as the case may be, so long as the Securities of
  that series are listed on such exchange, and

  upon the Company in respect of the Securities of that series and this
  Indenture may be served. The Company will give prompt written notice to the
  Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or
  agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required
  office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address
  thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or
  served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee (in the case of
  Registered Securities) and at the principal London office of the Trustee
  (in the case of Bearer Securities), and the Company hereby appoints the
  Trustee as its agent to receive all presentations, surrenders, notices and

Agent in the Borough of Manhattan, the City and State of New York, if (but only
if) payment in Dollars of the full amount of such principal, premium, interest
or additional amounts, as the case may be, at all offices or agencies outside
the United States maintained for the purpose by the Company in accordance with
this Indenture is illegal or effectively precluded by exchange controls or
other similar restrictions.

   The Company may also from time to time designate different or additional
offices or agencies to be maintained for such purposes (in or outside of such
Place of Payment), and may from time to time rescind any such designations;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner
relieve the Company of its obligations described in the preceding paragraph.
The Company will give prompt written

of and any premium or interest on any of the Securities of that series,
segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a
sum sufficient to pay the principal and any premium or interest so becoming due
until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as
herein provided and will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure
so to act.

   Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents for any series of
Securities and Coupons, it will, prior to each due date of the principal of and
any premium or interest on any Securities of that series, deposit with a Paying
Agent a sum sufficient to pay such amount, such sum to be held as provided by
the Trust Indenture Act, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the
Company will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act.
The Company will cause each Paying Agent for any series of Securities other
than the Trustee to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which
such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of
this Section, that such Paying Agent will (1) comply with the provisions of the
Trust Indenture Act applicable to it as a Paying Agent and (2) during the
continuance of any default by the Company (or any other obligor upon the
Securities of that series) in the making of any payment in respect of the
Securities of that series, and upon the written request of the Trustee,
forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums held in trust by such Paying Agent for
payment in respect of the Securities of that series.

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

   Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by
the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of and any premium or
interest on any Security of any series and remaining unclaimed for two years
after such principal, premium or interest has become due and payable shall be
paid to the Company, or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from
such trust; and the Holder of such Security or Coupon shall thereafter, as an
unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for payment thereof, and
all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust
money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon
cease; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being
required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to
be published once, in a newspaper published in the English language,
customarily published on each Business Day and of general circulation in
Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, New York notice that such money
remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be
less than 30 days from the date of such publication, any unclaimed balance of
such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company.

signers thereof the Company is in default in the performance and observance of
any of the terms, provisions, and conditions of this Indenture (without regard
to any period of grace or requirement of notice provided hereunder) and, if the
Company shall be in default, specifying all such defaults and the nature and
status thereof of which they may have knowledge.

omit in any particular instance to comply with any term, provision or condition
set forth in any covenant provided pursuant to Section 301 (18), 901 (2) or 901
(7) for the benefit of the Holders of such series or in Section 1004 or 1005 if
before the time for such compliance the Holders of not less than a majority in
principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series shall, by Act of
such Holders, either waive such compliance in such instance or generally waive
compliance with such term, provision or condition, but no such waiver shall
extend to or affect such term, provision or condition except to the extent so
expressly waived, and, until such waiver shall become effective, the
obligations of the Company and the duties of the Trustee in respect of any such
term, provision or condition shall remain in full force and effect.


                                  ARTICLE XI.

                           REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES.

Section 1101. Applicability of Article.

   Securities of any series which are redeemable before their Stated Maturity
shall be redeemable in accordance with their terms and (except as otherwise
specified as contemplated by Section 301 for such Securities) in accordance
with this Article.

Section 1102. Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee.

   The election of the Company to redeem any Securities shall be evidenced by a
Board Resolution or in another manner specified as contemplated by Section 301
for such Securities. In case of any redemption at the election of the Company,
the Company shall, at least 60 days prior to the Redemption Date fixed by the
Company (unless a shorter notice shall be reasonably satisfactory to the
Trustee), notify the Trustee of such Redemption Date, of the principal amount
of Securities of such series to be redeemed and, if applicable, of the tenor of
the Securities to be redeemed. In the case of any redemption of Securities (a)
prior to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided in the
terms of such Securities or elsewhere in this Indenture, or (b) pursuant to an
election of the Company which is subject to a condition specified in the terms
of such Securities or elsewhere in this Indenture, the Company shall furnish
the Trustee with an Officers' Certificate evidencing compliance with such
restriction or condition.

Section 1103. Selection by Trustee of Securities to be Redeemed.

   Except in the case of a redemption in whole of the Bearer Securities or the
Registered Securities of such series, if less than all the Securities of any
series are to be redeemed, the particular securities to be redeemed shall be
selected not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee,
from the Outstanding Securities of such series not previously called for
redemption, by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate and
which may provide for the selection for redemption of a portion of the
principal amount of any Security shall be an authorized denomination (which
shall not be less than the minimum authorized denomination) for such Security
in the Currency in which the Securities of such series are denominated. The
portions of the principal amount of Securities so selected for partial
redemption shall be equal to the minimum authorized denominations for
Securities of such series in the Currency in which the Securities of such
series are denominated or any integral multiple thereof, except as otherwise
set forth in the applicable form of Securities. In any case when more than one
Registered Security of such series is registered in the same name, the Trustee,
in its discretion, may treat the aggregate principal amount so registered as if
it were represented by one Registered Security of such series.

                                       53
<PAGE>

   The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the Securities
selected for redemption as aforesaid and, in the case of any Securities
selected for partial redemption as aforesaid, the principal amount thereof to
be redeemed.

   The provisions of the two preceding paragraphs shall not apply with respect
to any redemption affecting only a single Security, whether such Security is to
be redeemed in whole or in part. In the case of any such redemption in part,
the unredeemed portion of the principal amount of the Security shall be in an
authorized denomination (which shall not be less than the minimum authorized
denomination) for such Security.

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

Section 1104. Notice of Redemption.

   Notice of redemption shall be given by first-class mail, postage prepaid,
mailed not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, to
each Holder of Securities to be redeemed, at his address appearing in the
Security Register.

   All notices of redemption shall state:

     (1) the Redemption Date.

     (2) the Redemption Price or, if not than ascertainable, the manner of
  calculation thereof

  a specified tenor consisting of more than a single Security are to be
  redeemed, the identification (and, in the case of partial redemption of any
  such Securities, the principal amounts) of the particular Securities to be
  redeemed and, if less than all the Outstanding Securities of any series and
  of a specified tenor consisting of a single Security are to be redeemed,
  the principal amount of the particular Security to be redeemed;

     (4) that on the Redemption Date of the Redemption Price, together with
  accrued interest, if any, to the Redemption Date, will become due and
  payable upon each such Security to be redeemed and, if applicable, that
  interest thereon will cease to accrue on and after said date;

     (5) the place or places where each such Security is to be surrendered
  for payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest, if any, unless it
  shall have been specified as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to
  such Securities that such surrender shall not be required;

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

     (7) such other matters as the Company shall deem desirable or
  appropriate; and

     (8) if Bearer Securities of any series are to be redeemed and any
  Registered Securities of such series are not to be redeemed, and if such
  Bearer Securities may be exchanged for Registered Securities not subject to
  redemption on this Redemption Date pursuant to Section 305(b) or otherwise,
  the last date on which such exchanges may be made.

   Unless otherwise specified with respect to any Securities in accordance with
Section 301, with respect to any redemption of Securities at the election of
the Company, unless, upon the giving of notice of such redemption, Defeasance
shall have been effected with respect to such Securities pursuant to Section
1302, such notice may state that such redemption shall be conditional upon the
receipt by the Trustee or the Paying Agent(s) for such Securities, on or prior
to the date fixed for such redemption, of money sufficient to pay the principal
of and any premium and interest on such Securities , in the Currency or
Currencies in which such Securities are denominated (except as provided
pursuant to Section 301) sufficient to pay the Redemption Price for such
Securities or any portions thereof which are to be redeemed on that date, and
that if such money shall not have been so received such notice shall be of no
force or effect and the Company shall not be required to

                                       54
<PAGE>

redeem such Securities. In the event that such notice of redemption contains
such a condition and such money is not so received, the redemption shall not be
made and within a reasonable time thereafter notice shall be given, in the
manner in which the notice of redemption was given, that such money was not so
received and such redemption was not required to be made, and the Trustee or
Paying Agent(s) for the Securities otherwise to have been redeemed shall
promptly return to the Holders thereof any of such Securities which had been
surrendered for payment upon such redemption.

   Notice of redemption of Securities to be redeemed at the election of the
Company, and any notice of non-satisfaction of redemption as aforesaid, shall
be given by the Company or, at the Company's request, by the Trustee in the
name and at the expense of the Corporation. Subject to the preceding paragraph,
any such notice of redemption shall be irrevocable.

any, set forth in such notice having been satisfied, the Securities or portions
thereof so to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable

are payable (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Sections 301 or 310)
therein specified, and from and after such date (unless, in the case of an
unconditional notice of redemption, the Company shall default in the payment of
the Redemption Price and accrued interest, if any) such Securities or portions
thereof, if interest-bearing, shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of
any such Security for redemption in accordance with said notice, such Security
or portion thereof shall be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price,
together with accrued interest, if any, to the Redemption Date; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER;

     (a) that installments on interest on Bearer Securities whose Stated
  Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable only at an
  office or agency located outside the United States (except as otherwise
  provided in Section 1002) and, unless otherwise specified as contemplated
  in Section 301, only upon presentation and surrender of Coupons for such
  interest;

     (b) that, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301,
  installments of interest on Registered Securities which have a Stated
  Maturity on or prior to the Redemption Date for such Securities shall be
  payable according to the terms of such Securities and the provision s of
  Section 307;

     (c) that no such surrender shall be a condition to such payment if so
  specified as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to such Security, and

     (d) that, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301,
  installments of interest whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the
  Redemption Date will be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one
  or more Predecessor Securities, registered as such at the close of business
  on the relevant Record Dates according to their terms and the provisions of
  Section 307.

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

shall deposit with the Paying Agent funds sufficient to pay the Redemption
Price plus accrued interest, if any, of all Securities to be redeemed on that
date.

Section 1106. Securities Redeemed in Part.

   Any Security which is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at a
Place of Payment therefor (with, if the Company or the Trustee so requires, due
endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the
Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney
duly authorized in writing), and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee
shall authenticate and deliver to the

                                       55

Holder of such Security without service charge, a new Security or Securities of
the same series and of like tenor, of any authorized denomination as requested
by such Holder, in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the
unredeemed portion of the principal of the Security so surrendered.

                                  ARTICLE XII.

Section 1301. Applicability of Article.

   Unless, pursuant to Section 301, provision is made for either or both of (a)
defeasance of any Securities or any series of Securities under Section 1302 and
(b) covenant defeasance of any Securities or any series under Section 1303
shall not apply to such Securities of a series, then the provisions of either
or both of Section 1302 and Section 1303, as the case may be, together with
Sections 1304 and 1305, shall be applicable to the Outstanding Securities of
such series upon compliance with the conditions set forth in this Article.

Section 1302. Defeasance and Discharge.

   The Company may cause itself to be discharged from its obligations with
respect to any Securities or any series of Securities on and after the date the
conditions set forth in Section 1304 are satisfied (hereinafter called
"Defeasance"). For this purpose, such Defeasance means that the Company shall
be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by
such Securities and to have satisfied all its other obligations under such
Securities and this Indenture insofar as such Securities are concerned (and the
Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments
acknowledging the same), subject to the following which shall survive until
otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (1) the rights of Holders of such
Securities to receive, solely from the trust fund described in Section 1304 and
as more fully set forth in such Section, payments in respect of the principal
of and any premium and interest on such Securities when payments are due, (2)

Event of Default.

   The Company may cause itself to be released from any covenant provided
pursuant to Section 301(18), 901 (2), 901 (6) or 901 (7) with respect to any
Securities or any series of Securities for the benefit of the Holders of such
Securities and the occurrence of any event specified in Sections 501(4) (with
respect to any such covenants provide pursuant to Section 301 (18), 901 (2),
901 (6), 901 (7)), 501 (7) shall be deemed not to be or result in an Event of
Default with respect to such Securities as provided in this Section, in each
case on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 1304 are
satisfied (hereinafter called "Covenant Defeasance.")) For this purpose, such
Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the such Securities, the
Company may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any
term, condition or limitation set forth in any such specified Section (to the
extent so specified in the case of Section 501 (4)) whether directly or
indirectly by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such Section or
by reason of any reference in any such Section to any other provision herein or
in any other document, but the remainder of this Indenture and such Securities
shall be unaffected thereby.

Section 1304. Conditions to Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

  respective Stated Maturities or on any Redemption Date established pursuant
  to Clause (3) below, in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and

  receipt.

     (2) No event which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would
  become, an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of such series
  shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit or with
  regard to any such event specified in Sections 501(5) and (6), at any time
  during the period ending on or prior to the 90th day after the date of such

Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Securities, of all sums due and
to become due thereon in respect of principal and any premium, and interest,
but such money so held need not be segregated from other funds except to the
extent required by law.

   The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or
other charge imposed on or assessed against the Government Obligations
deposited pursuant to Section 1304 or the principal and interest received in
respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is
for the account of the Holders of Outstanding Securities.

   Anything in this Article to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall
deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon Company Request any money
or Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 1304 with respect
to any Securities which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of

                                       58
<PAGE>

independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof
delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the amount thereof which would then
be required to be deposited to effect Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance, as the
case may be, with respect to such Securities.

Pfizer Inc.
235 East 42nd Street
New York, NY  10017

Ladies and Gentlemen:

        In connection with the registration statement under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended, of $2,500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of debt
securities (the "Securities") of Pfizer Inc., a Delaware corporation, I, as Vice
President - Corporate Governance and Assistant Secretary of Pfizer, have
examined such corporate records, certificates and other documents of Pfizer and
such questions of law as I have considered relevant and necessary as a basis for
my opinion.

        Based upon my review, I am of the opinion that:

     1. Pfizer has been duly incorporated and is an existing corporation in
good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware.

     2. When the Registration Statement has become effective under the 1933 Act,
the terms of the Securities and of their issue and sale have been duly
established in conformity with the Indenture relating to the Securities so as to
not violate any applicable law or agreement or instrument then binding on
Pfizer, and the Securities have been duly executed, authenticated and delivered
in accordance with such Indenture and issued and sold as contemplated in the
Registration Statement, the Securities will constitute valid and binding
obligations of Pfizer, subject to applicable bankruptcy, reorganization,
insolvency, moratorium, fraudulent transfer and similar laws of general
applicability relating to or affecting creditors' rights and to general equity
principles.

        I consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to Registration
Statement and to my name under the heading "Validity of Debt Securities" in the
Prospectus. In giving such consent, I do not thereby admit that I am in the
category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act.



                                                Very truly yours,

                                                /s/ Margaret M. Foran
