                           (C) such transfer is effected by a Participating
                  Broker-Dealer pursuant to the Exchange Offer Registration
                  Statement in accordance with the Registration Rights
                  Agreement; or

                           (D) the Registrar receives the following:

                                    (1) if the Holder of such Definitive Notes
         proposes to exchange such Notes for a beneficial interest in the
         Unrestricted Global Note, a certificate from such Holder in the form of
         Exhibit C hereto, including the certifications in item (1)(c) thereof;
         or

                                    (2) if the Holder of such Definitive Notes
         proposes to transfer such Notes to a Person who shall take delivery
         thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in the Unrestricted Global
         Note, a certificate from such Holder in the form of Exhibit B hereto,
         including the certifications in item (4) thereof;

         and, in each such case set forth in this subparagraph (D), if the
         Registrar so requests or if the Applicable Procedures so require, an
         Opinion of Counsel in form reasonably acceptable to the Registrar to
         the effect that such exchange or transfer is in compliance with the
         Securities Act and that the restrictions on transfer contained herein
         and in the Private Placement Legend are no longer required in order to
         maintain compliance with the Securities Act.

         Upon satisfaction of the conditions of any of the subparagraphs in this
         Section 2.06(d)(ii), the Trustee shall cancel the Definitive Notes and
         increase or cause to be increased the aggregate principal amount of the
         Unrestricted Global Note.

                  (iii) Unrestricted Definitive Notes to Beneficial Interests in
         Unrestricted Global Notes. A Holder of an Unrestricted Definitive Note
         may exchange such Note for a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted
         Global Note or transfer such Definitive Notes to a Person who takes
         delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in an
         Unrestricted Global Note at any time. Upon receipt of a request for
         such an exchange or transfer, the Trustee shall cancel the applicable
         Unrestricted Definitive Note and increase or cause to be increased the
         aggregate principal amount of one of the Unrestricted Global Notes.

                  If any such exchange or transfer from a Definitive Note to a
beneficial interest is effected pursuant to subparagraphs (ii)(B), (ii)(D) or
(iii) above at a time when an Unrestricted Global Note has not yet been issued,
the Company shall issue and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order in
accordance with Section 2.02 hereof, the Trustee shall authenticate one or more
Unrestricted Global Notes in an aggregate principal amount equal to the
principal amount of Definitive Notes so transferred.

                  other exemption from the registration requirements of the
                  Securities Act, then the transferor must deliver a certificate
                  in the form of Exhibit B hereto, including the certifications,
                  certificates and Opinion of Counsel required by item (3)
                  thereof, if applicable.

         thereof for an Unrestricted Definitive Note or transferred to a Person
         or Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of an Unrestricted
         Definitive Note if:

                           (A) such exchange or transfer is effected pursuant to
                  the Exchange Offer in accordance with the Registration Rights
                  Agreement and the Holder, in the case of an exchange, or the
                  transferee, in the case of a transfer, certifies in the
                  applicable Letter of Transmittal that it is not (1) a
                  broker-dealer, (2) a Person participating in the distribution
                  of the Series B Notes or (3) a Person who is an affiliate (as
                  defined in Rule 144) of the Company;

                           (B) any such transfer is effected pursuant to the

<PAGE>


                           (C) any such transfer is effected by a Participating
                  Broker-Dealer pursuant to the Exchange Offer Registration
                  Statement in accordance with the Registration Rights
                  Agreement; or

                           (D) the Registrar receives the following:

                                    (1) if the Holder of such Restricted
         Definitive Notes proposes to exchange such Notes for an Unrestricted
         Definitive Note, a certificate from such Holder in the form of Exhibit
         C hereto, including the certifications in item (1)(d) thereof; or

                                    (2) if the Holder of such Restricted
         Definitive Notes proposes to transfer such Notes to a Person who shall
         take delivery thereof in the form of an Unrestricted Definitive Note, a
         certificate from such Holder in the form of Exhibit B hereto, including
         the certifications in item (4) thereof;

         and, in each such case set forth in this subparagraph (D), if the
         Registrar so requests, an Opinion of Counsel in form reasonably
         acceptable to the Company to the effect that such exchange or transfer
         is in compliance with the Securities Act and that the restrictions on
         transfer contained herein and in the Private Placement Legend are no
         longer required in order to maintain compliance with the Securities
         Act.

                  (iii) Unrestricted Definitive Notes to Unrestricted Definitive
         Notes. A Holder of Unrestricted Definitive Notes may transfer such
         Notes to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of an
         Unrestricted Definitive Note. Upon receipt of a request to register
         such a transfer, the Registrar shall register the Unrestricted
         Definitive Notes pursuant to the instructions from the Holder thereof.

         (f) Exchange Offer. Upon the occurrence of the Exchange Offer in
accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company shall issue and,
upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.02, the
Trustee shall authenticate (i) one or more Unrestricted Global Notes in an
aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the beneficial
interests in the Restricted Global Notes tendered for acceptance by Persons that
certify in the applicable Letters of Transmittal that (x) they are not
broker-dealers, (y) they are not participating in a distribution of the Series B
Notes and (z) they are not affiliates (as defined in Rule 144) of the Company,
and accepted for exchange in the Exchange Offer and (ii) Definitive Notes in an
aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Restricted
Definitive Notes accepted for exchange in the Exchange Offer. Concurrently with
the issuance of such Notes, the Trustee shall cause the aggregate principal
amount of the applicable Restricted Global Notes to be reduced accordingly, and
the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the
Persons designated by the Holders of Definitive Notes so accepted Definitive
Notes in the appropriate principal amount.

Global Notes and Definitive Notes issued under this Indenture unless
specifically stated otherwise in the applicable provisions of this Indenture.

                  (i)      Private Placement Legend.

                           (A) Except as permitted by subparagraph (B) below,
                  each Global Note and each Definitive Note (and all Notes
                  issued in exchange therefor or substitution thereof) shall
                  bear the legend in substantially the following form:

         THIS NOTE HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT OF
         1933, AS AMENDED (THE "ACT"), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR
         SOLD WITHIN THE UNITED STATES OR TO, OR FOR THE ACCOUNT OR BENEFIT OF,
         U.S. PERSONS, EXCEPT AS SET FORTH BELOW. BY ITS ACQUISITION HEREOF, THE
         HOLDER (1) REPRESENTS THAT (A) IT IS A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER
         (AS DEFINED IN RULE 144A UNDER THE ACT) OR (B) IT IS AN ACCREDITED
         INVESTOR (AS DEFINED IN RULE 501(a)(1), (2), (3), (5), (6), (7) OR (8)
         UNDER THE ACT) OR (C) IT IS NOT A U.S. PERSON AND IS ACQUIRING THIS
         NOTE IN AN OFFSHORE TRANSACTION, (2) AGREES THAT IT WILL NOT RESELL OR
         OTHERWISE TRANSFER THIS NOTE EXCEPT (A) TO PEGASUS OR ANY SUBSIDIARY
         THEREOF, (B) PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE

         HAS FURNISHED ON ITS BEHALF BY A U.S. BROKER-DEALER) TO THE TRUSTEE A
         SIGNED LETTER CONTAINING CERTAIN REPRESENTATIONS AND AGREEMENTS
         RELATING TO THE RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER OF THIS NOTE (THE FORM OF
         WHICH LETTER CAN BE OBTAINED FROM THE TRUSTEE), (E) OUTSIDE THE UNITED
         STATES IN AN OFFSHORE TRANSACTION IN COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 904 UNDER THE
         ACT, (F) PURSUANT TO THE EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION PROVIDED BY RULE
         144 UNDER THE ACT (IF AVAILABLE) OR (G) PURSUANT TO ANY OTHER AVAILABLE

         HOLDER MUST, PRIOR TO SUCH TRANSFER, FURNISH TO THE TRUSTEE AND PEGASUS
         SUCH CERTIFICATIONS, LEGAL OPINIONS OR OTHER INFORMATION AS ANY OF THEM
         MAY REASONABLY REQUIRE TO CONFIRM THAT SUCH TRANSFER IS BEING MADE
         PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO THE
         REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE ACT. AS USED HEREIN, THE TERMS
         "OFFSHORE TRANSACTION," "UNITED STATES" AND "U.S. PERSON" HAVE THE
         MEANINGS GIVEN TO THEM BY REGULATION S UNDER THE ACT.

                           (B) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Global Note or
                  Definitive Note issued pursuant to subparagraphs (b)(iv),
                  (c)(ii), (c)(iii), (d)(ii), (d)(iii), (e)(ii), (e)(iii) or (f)
                  to this Section 2.06 (and all Notes issued in exchange
                  therefor or substitution thereof) shall not bear the Private
                  Placement Legend.

                  (ii) Global Note Legend. Each Global Note shall bear a legend
         in substantially the following form:

         "THIS GLOBAL NOTE IS HELD BY THE DEPOSITARY (AS DEFINED IN THE
         INDENTURE GOVERNING THIS NOTE) OR ITS NOMINEE IN CUSTODY FOR THE
         BENEFIT OF THE BENEFICIAL OWNERS HEREOF, AND IS NOT TRANSFERABLE TO ANY
         PERSON UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES EXCEPT THAT (I) THE TRUSTEE MAY MAKE
         SUCH NOTATIONS HEREON AS MAY BE REQUIRED PURSUANT TO SECTION 2.07 OF
         THE INDENTURE, (II) THIS GLOBAL NOTE MAY BE EXCHANGED IN WHOLE BUT NOT
         IN PART PURSUANT TO SECTION 2.06(a) OF THE INDENTURE, (III) THIS GLOBAL
         NOTE MAY BE DELIVERED TO THE TRUSTEE FOR CANCELLATION PURSUANT TO

         THE COMPANY."

         (h) Cancellation and/or Adjustment of Global Notes. At such time as all
beneficial interests in a particular Global Note have been exchanged for
Definitive Notes or a particular Global Note has been redeemed, repurchased or
canceled in whole and not in part, each such Global Note shall be returned to or
retained and canceled by the Trustee in accordance with Section 2.11 hereof. At
any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Note
is exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in
the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note or for Definitive
Notes, the principal amount of Notes represented by such Global Note shall be
reduced accordingly and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Note by the
Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such
reduction; and if the beneficial interest is being exchanged for or transferred
to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest
in another Global Note, such other Global Note shall be increased accordingly
and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Note by the Trustee or by the
Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such increase.

         (i)      General Provisions Relating to Transfers and Exchanges.

                  (i) To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the
         Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate Global Notes
         and Definitive Notes upon the Company's order or at the Registrar's
         request.

                  (ii) No service charge shall be made to a holder of a
         beneficial interest in a Global Note or to a Holder of a Definitive
         Note for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may
         require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or
         similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than
         any such transfer taxes or similar governmental charge payable upon
         exchange or transfer pursuant to Sections 2.10, 3.06, 3.09, 4.10, 4.15
         and 9.05 hereof).

                  (iii) The Registrar shall not be required to register the
         transfer of or exchange any Note selected for redemption in whole or in
         part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part.

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

                  (v) The Company shall not be required (A) to issue, to
         register the transfer of or to exchange any Notes during a period
         beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of any
         selection of Notes for redemption under Section 3.02 hereof and ending
         at the close of business on the day of selection, (B) to register the
         transfer of or to exchange any Note so selected for redemption in whole
         or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in
         part or (c) to register the transfer of or to exchange a Note between a
         record date and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date.

                  (vi) Prior to due presentment for the registration of a
         transfer of any Note, the Trustee, any Agent and the Company may deem
         and treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered as the
         absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of
         principal of and interest on such Notes and for all other purposes, and
         none of the Trustee, any Agent or the Company shall be affected by
         notice to the contrary.

                  (vii) The Trustee shall authenticate Global Notes and
         Definitive Notes in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.02
         hereof.

SECTION 2.07.     REPLACEMENT NOTES.

                  If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee or the
Company and the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the
destruction, loss or theft of any Note, the Company shall issue and the Trustee,
upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall authenticate a replacement Note
if the Trustee's requirements are met. If required by the Trustee or the
Company, an indemnity bond must be supplied by the Holder that is sufficient in
the judgment of the Trustee and the Company to protect the Company, the Trustee,
any Agent and any authenticating agent from any loss that any of them may suffer
if a Note is replaced. The Company may charge for its expenses in replacing a
Note.

                  Every replacement Note is an additional obligation of the
Company and shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture equally
and proportionately with all other Notes duly issued hereunder.


SECTION 2.08.     OUTSTANDING NOTES.

                  The Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes
authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to
it for cancellation, those reductions in the interest in a Global Note effected
by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof, and those described in
this Section as not outstanding. Except as set forth in Section 2.09 hereof, a
Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the
Company holds the Note; however, Notes held by the Company or a Subsidiary of
the Company shall not be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of Section
3.07(b) hereof.

                  If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07 hereof, it
ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it
that the replaced Note is held by a bona fide purchaser.

                  If the principal amount of any Note is considered paid under
Section 4.01 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to
accrue.

                  If the Paying Agent (other than the Company, a Subsidiary or
an Affiliate of any thereof) holds, on a redemption date or maturity date, money
sufficient to pay Notes payable on that date, then on and after that date such
Notes shall be deemed to be no longer outstanding and shall cease to accrue
interest.


SECTION 2.09.     TREASURY NOTES.

                  In determining whether the Holders of the required principal
amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned
by the Company, or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or
controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company, shall
be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of
determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such
direction, waiver or consent, only Notes that the Trustee knows are so owned
shall be so disregarded.

SECTION 2.10.     TEMPORARY NOTES.

                  Until certificates representing Notes are ready for delivery,
the Company may prepare and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication
Order, shall authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes shall be
substantially in the form of certificated Notes but may have variations that the
Company considers appropriate for temporary Notes and as shall be reasonably
acceptable to the Trustee. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare
and the Trustee shall authenticate definitive Notes in exchange for temporary
Notes.

                  Holders of temporary Notes shall be entitled to all of the
benefits of this Indenture.


SECTION 2.11.     CANCELLATION.

                  The Company at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for
cancellation. The Registrar and Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any
Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The
Trustee and no one else shall cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of
transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and shall destroy
canceled Notes (subject to the record retention requirement of the Exchange
Act). Certification of the destruction of all canceled Notes shall be delivered
to the Company. The Company may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has
paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.


SECTION 2.12.     DEFAULTED INTEREST.

                  If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes,
it shall pay the defaulted interest in any lawful manner plus, to the extent
lawful, interest payable on the defaulted interest, to the Persons who are
Holders on a subsequent special record date, in each case at the rate provided
in the Notes and in Section 4.01 hereof. The Company shall notify the Trustee in
writing of the amount of defaulted interest proposed to be paid on each Note and
the date of the proposed payment. The Company shall fix or cause to be fixed
each such special record date and payment date, provided that no such special
record date shall be less than 10 days prior to the related payment date for
such defaulted interest. At least 15 days before the special record date, the
Company (or, upon the written request of the Company, the Trustee in the name
and at the expense of the Company) shall mail or cause to be mailed to Holders a
notice that states the special record date, the related payment date and the
amount of such interest to be paid.

SECTION 3.01.     NOTICES TO TRUSTEE.

                  If the Company is required to make an offer to purchase Notes
pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.09 hereof, it shall furnish to the
Trustee an Officers' Certificate setting forth (i) the Section of this Indenture
pursuant to which the purchase shall occur, (ii) the purchase date, (iii) the
principal amount of Notes to be purchased, (iv) the purchase price and (v) a
statement to the effect that a Change of Control has occurred and the conditions
set forth in Section 3.09 hereof have been satisfied, as applicable.


SECTION 3.02.     SELECTION OF NOTES TO BE REDEEMED.

                  If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed at any time,
the Trustee shall select the Notes to be redeemed among the Holders of the Notes
in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities
exchange, if any, on which the Notes are listed or, if the Notes are not so
listed, to be redeemed among the Holders of Notes on a pro rata basis, by lot or
by such method as the Trustee deems fair and appropriate; provided that no Notes
of $1,000 or less shall be redeemed in part. In the event of partial redemption
by lot, the particular Notes to be redeemed shall be selected, unless otherwise
provided herein, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption
date by the Trustee from the outstanding Notes not previously called for
redemption.

                  The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of
the Notes selected for redemption and, in the case of any Note selected for
partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. Notes and
portions of Notes selected shall be in amounts of $1,000 or whole multiples of
$1,000; except that if all of the Notes of a Holder are to be redeemed, the
entire outstanding amount of Notes held by such Holder, even if not a multiple
of $1,000, shall be redeemed. A new Note in principal amount equal to the
unredeemed portion thereof will be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon
cancellation of the original Note. Notes called for redemption shall become due
on the redemption date. On and after the redemption date, interest ceases to
accrue on Notes or portions of them called for redemption. Except as provided in
this Section 3.02, provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes called for
redemption also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption.


SECTION 3.03.     NOTICE OF REDEMPTION.

                  Subject to the provisions of Section 3.09 hereof, at least 30
days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, the Company shall mail
or cause to be mailed, by first class mail, a notice of redemption to each
Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address.

                  The notice shall identify the Notes to be redeemed and shall
state:

                                       38
<PAGE>

         (a) the redemption date;

         (b) the redemption price;

         (c) if any Note is being redeemed in part, the portion of the principal
amount of such Note to be redeemed and that, after the redemption date upon
surrender of such Note, a new Note or Notes in principal amount equal to the
unredeemed portion shall be issued upon cancellation of the original;

         (d) the name and address of the Paying Agent;

         (e) that Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying
Agent to collect the redemption price;

         (f) that, unless the Company defaults in making such redemption
payment, interest on Notes called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after
the redemption date;

         (g) the paragraph of the Notes and/or Section of this Indenture
pursuant to which the Notes called for redemption are being redeemed; and

         (h) that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of
the CUSIP number, if any, listed in such notice or printed on the Notes.

                  At the Company's request, the Trustee shall give the notice of
redemption in the Company's name and at its expense; provided, however, that the
Company shall have delivered to the Trustee, at least 30 days prior to the
redemption date, an Officers' Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such
notice and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided
in the preceding paragraph.


SECTION 3.04.     EFFECT OF NOTICE OF REDEMPTION.

                  Once notice of redemption is mailed in accordance with Section
3.03 hereof, Notes called for redemption become irrevocably due and payable on
the redemption date at the redemption price. A notice of redemption may not be
conditional.


SECTION 3.05.     DEPOSIT OF REDEMPTION OR PURCHASE PRICE.

                  One Business Day prior to 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time on the
redemption date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying
Agent money in immediately available funds sufficient to pay the redemption or
purchase price of and accrued interest, if any, on all Notes to be redeemed or
purchased on that date. The Trustee or the Paying Agent shall promptly return to
the Company any money deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent by the
Company in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption or purchase
price of, and accrued interest on, all Notes to be redeemed or purchased.

                                       39
<PAGE>


                  If Notes called for redemption or tendered in a Change of
Control Offer are paid or if the Company has deposited with the Trustee or
Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption or purchase price of, and
unpaid and accrued interest, if any, on all Notes to be redeemed or purchased,
on and after the applicable redemption or purchase date, interest, if any,
ceases to accrue on the Notes or the portions of Notes called for redemption or
tendered and not withdrawn in a Change of Control Offer (regardless of whether
certificates for such Notes are actually surrendered). If a Note is redeemed or
purchased on or after an interest record date but on or prior to the related
interest payment date, then any accrued and unpaid interest, if any, shall be
paid to the Person in whose name such Note was registered at the close of
business on such record date. If any Note called for redemption or subject to a
Change of Control Offer shall not be so paid upon surrender for redemption or
purchase because of the failure of the Company to comply with the preceding
paragraph, interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal, from the redemption
or purchase date until such principal is paid, and to the extent lawful on any
interest not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case, at the rate provided
in the Notes and in Section 4.01 hereof.


SECTION 3.06.     NOTES REDEEMED OR PURCHASED IN PART.

                  Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed or purchased in
part, the Company shall issue and, upon the Company's written request, the
Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder at the expense of the Company a new
Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed or unpurchased portion of the
Note surrendered.


SECTION 3.07.     OPTIONAL REDEMPTION.

         (a) The Notes shall not be redeemable at the Company's option prior to
August 1, 2003. The Notes may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at the option of
the Company on or after August 1, 2003, at the redemption prices specified below
(expressed as percentages of the principal amount thereof), in each case,
together with accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages, if any,
thereon to the date of redemption, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days
notice, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on August 1 of the
years indicated below:

        2006 and thereafter                                    100.000%

         (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, between the date hereof and prior to
August 1, 2000, the Company may, on any one or more occasions, use the net
proceeds of one or more offerings of its Capital Stock to redeem up to 35% of
the aggregate principal amount of the Notes at a redemption price of 112.500% of
the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated
Damages, if any, to the date of redemption; provided that, after any such
redemption, the aggregate principal amount of the Notes outstanding (excluding
Notes held by the Company and its subsidiaries) must equal at least 65% of the
Notes issued hereunder; and provided further, that any such redemption shall
occur within 90 days of the date of closing of such offering of Capital Stock of
the Company.

         (c) Any redemption pursuant to this Section 3.07 shall be made pursuant
to the provisions of Section 3.01 through 3.06 hereof.


SECTION 3.08.     MANDATORY REDEMPTION.

                  The Company shall not be required to make mandatory redemption
or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes.


SECTION 3.09.     OFFER TO PURCHASE BY APPLICATION OF EXCESS PROCEEDS.

         (a) In the event that, pursuant to Section 4.10 hereof, the Company
shall be required to commence an Asset Sale Offer, it shall follow the
procedures specified below with respect to the Holders of Notes.

         (b) The Asset Sale Offer shall remain open for a period of 20 Business
Days following its commencement and no longer, except to the extent that a
longer period is required by applicable law (the "Offer Period"). No later than
five Business Days after the termination of the Offer Period (the "Purchase
Date"), the Company shall purchase the principal amount of Notes required to be
purchased pursuant to Section 4.10 hereof (the "Offer Amount") or, if less than
the Offer Amount has been tendered, all Notes tendered in response to the Asset
Sale Offer. Payment for any Notes so purchased shall be made in the same manner
as interest payments are made.

         (c) The Company shall comply with any tender offer rules under the
Exchange Act which may then be applicable, including Rule 14e-1, in connection
with any offer required to be made by the Company to repurchase the Notes as a
result of an Asset Sale Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any
securities laws or regulations conflict with provisions of this Section 3.09,
the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws or regulations and
shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations hereunder by virtue
thereof.

                                       41
<PAGE>

         (d) If the Purchase Date is on or after an interest record date and on
or before the related interest payment date, any accrued and unpaid interest
shall be paid to the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of
business on such record date, and no additional interest shall be payable to
Holders who tender Notes pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer.

         (e) Upon the commencement of an Asset Sale Offer, the Company shall
send, by first class mail, a notice to the Trustee and each of the Holders, with
a copy to the Trustee. The notice shall contain all instructions and materials
necessary to enable such Holders to tender Notes pursuant to the Asset Sale
Offer. The Asset Sale Offer shall be made to all Holders. The notice, which
shall govern the terms of the Asset Sale Offer, shall state:

                  (i) that the Asset Sale Offer is being made pursuant to this
         Section 3.09 and Section 4.10 hereof and the length of time the Asset
         Sale Offer shall remain open;

                  (ii) the Offer Amount, the purchase price and the Purchase
         Date and, if any Restricted Subsidiary is required to and does make an
         offer to holders of its Indebtedness pursuant to a requirement similar
         to that contained in Section 4.10 and this Section, the notice shall
         state that fact, that the Offer Amount will be reduced by the amount of
         Indebtedness required to be purchased pursuant to such other offer, and
         that the amount of such reduction will not be known until the
         expiration of such other offer, which shall not be later than the
         expiration of the Offer Period;

                  (iii) that any Note not tendered or accepted for payment shall
         continue to accrue interest;

                  (iv) that, unless the Company defaults in making such payment,
         any Note accepted for payment pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer shall
         cease to accrue interest after the Purchase Date;

                  (v) that Holders electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to
         an Asset Sale Offer may only elect to have all of such Note purchased
         and may not elect to have only a portion of such Note purchased;

                  (vi) that Holders electing to have a Note purchased pursuant
         to any Asset Sale Offer shall be required to surrender the Note, with
         the form entitled "Option of Holder to Elect Purchase" on the reverse
         of the Note completed, or transfer by book-entry transfer, to the
         Company, a depositary, if appointed by the Company, or a Paying Agent
         at the address specified in the notice at least three days before the
         Purchase Date;

                  (vii) that Holders shall be entitled to withdraw their
         election if the Company, the Depositary or the Paying Agent, as the
         case may be, receives, not later than the expiration of the Offer
         Period, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting
         forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Note the
         Holder delivered for purchase and a statement that such Holder is
         withdrawing his election to have such Note purchased;

                                       42
<PAGE>


                  (viii) that, if the aggregate principal amount of Notes
         surrendered by Holders exceeds the Offer Amount, the Company shall
         select the Notes to be purchased on a pro rata basis (with such
         adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Company so that only
         Notes in denominations of $1,000, or integral multiples thereof, shall
         be purchased, other than in the case of Holders whose Notes were
         purchased in whole); and

                  (ix) that Holders whose Notes were purchased only in part
         shall be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased
         portion of the Notes surrendered (or transferred by book-entry
         transfer).

         (f) On or before the Purchase Date, the Company shall, to the extent
lawful, accept for payment, on a pro rata basis to the extent necessary, the
Offer Amount of Notes or portions thereof tendered pursuant to the Asset Sale
Offer, or if less than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all Notes tendered,
and shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate stating that such
Notes or portions thereof were accepted for payment by the Company in accordance
with the terms of this Section 3.09. The Company, the Depositary or the Paying
Agent, as the case may be, shall promptly (but in any case not later than five
days after the Purchase Date) mail or deliver to each tendering Holder of Notes
an amount equal to the purchase price of the Notes tendered by such Holder of
Notes and accepted by the Company for purchase, and the Company shall promptly
issue a new Note and the Trustee, upon written request from the Company shall
authenticate and mail or deliver such new Note to such Holder of Notes in a
principal amount equal to any unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered. Any
Note not so accepted shall be promptly mailed or delivered by the Company to the
Holder of Notes thereof. The Company shall publicly announce the results of the
Asset Sale Offer on the Purchase Date.

         (g) Other than as specifically provided in this Section 3.09, any
purchase pursuant to this Section 3.09 shall be made pursuant to the provisions
of Sections 3.01 through 3.06 hereof. No repurchase of Notes under this Section
3.09 shall be deemed to be a redemption of Notes.

premium, if any, and interest on the Notes on the dates and in the manner
provided in the Notes. Principal, premium, if any, and interest shall be
considered paid on the date due if the Paying Agent, if other than the Company

money deposited by the Company in immediately available funds and designated for

                  The Company shall pay interest (including post-petition
interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal at the
rate equal to 1% per annum in excess of the then applicable interest rate on the
Notes to the extent lawful; it shall pay interest (including post-petition
interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of
interest and Liquidated Damages (without regard to any applicable grace period)
at the same rate to the extent lawful.


SECTION 4.02.     MAINTENANCE OF OFFICE OR AGENCY.

                  The Company shall maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, the
City of New York, an office or agency (which may be an office of the Trustee or
an affiliate of the Trustee, Registrar or co-Registrar) where Notes may be
surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange and where notices and
demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be
served. The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the

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.

                  The Company may also from time to time designate one or more
other offices or agencies where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for
any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations;
provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner
relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in the
Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York for such purposes. The Company shall
give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission
and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency.

                  The Company hereby designates the Corporate Trust Office of
the Trustee as one such office or agency of the Company in accordance with
Section 2.03.


SECTION 4.03.     REPORTS.

         (a) Whether or not required by the rules and regulations of the SEC, so
long as any Notes are outstanding, the Company shall furnish to the Holders of

the rules and regulations of the SEC, the Company shall file a copy of all such

required by the Exchange Act, each such quarterly and annual report shall be
required to contain "summarized financial information" (as defined in Rule
1-02(aa)(1) of Regulation S-X under the Exchange Act) showing Adjusted Operating
Cash Flow for the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries, on a consolidated
basis, where Adjusted Operating Cash Flow for the Company is calculated in a
manner consistent with the manner described under the definition of "Adjusted
Operating Cash Flow" contained herein. The summarized financial information

obligations under this Indenture, and further stating, as to each such Officer
signing such certificate, that to the best of his or her knowledge the Company
has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled each and every covenant contained in
this Indenture and is not in default in the performance or observance of any of
the terms, provisions and conditions of this Indenture (or, if a Default or
Event of Default shall have occurred, describing all such Defaults or Events of
Default of which he or she may have knowledge and what action the Company is
taking or proposes to take with respect thereto) and that to the best of his or
her knowledge no event has occurred and remains in existence by reason of which

American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, the year-end financial
statements delivered pursuant to Section 4.03 above shall be accompanied by a
written statement of the Company's independent public accountants (who shall be
a firm of established national reputation) that in making the examination
necessary for certification of such financial statements, nothing has come to
their attention that would lead them to believe that the Company has violated
any provisions of Article Four or Article Five hereof or, if any such violation
has occurred, specifying the nature and period of existence thereof, it being
understood that such accountants shall not be liable directly or indirectly to
any Person for any failure to obtain knowledge of any such violation.

                                       45

appropriate proceedings or where the failure to effect such payment is not
adverse in any material respect to the Holders of the Notes.


SECTION 4.06.     STAY, EXTENSION AND USURY LAWS.

                  The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do
so) that it shall not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner
whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or
usury law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may

the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or
advantage of any such law, and covenants that it shall not, by resort to any
such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to
the Trustee, but shall suffer and permit the execution of every such power as

SECTION 4.07.     RESTRICTED PAYMENTS.

         (a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, (i) declare or pay any dividend or make
any other payment or distribution on account of the Company's Equity Interests

consolidation involving the Company) or on account of any Qualified Subsidiary
Stock or make any payment or distribution (other than compensation paid to, or
reimbursement of expenses of, employees in the ordinary course of business) to

Interests or the direct or indirect holders of any Qualified Subsidiary Stock in
their capacities as such (other than dividends or distributions payable in
Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Company or additional
shares of such Qualified Subsidiary Stock); (ii) purchase, redeem or otherwise

other obligation of any Affiliate of the Company (other than a loan or advance
to or other obligations of a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary of the Company)
which at the time it was made was not a Restricted Payment; or (v) make any
Restricted Investment (all such payments and other actions set forth in clauses
(i) through (v) above being collectively referred to as "Restricted Payments"),
unless, at the time of and immediately after giving effect to such Restricted
Payment:

                           (A) no Default or Event of Default shall have
                  occurred and be continuing or would occur as a consequence
                  thereof; and

                           (B) the Company would be permitted to incur $1.00 of
                  additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Indebtedness to
                  Adjusted Operating Cash Flow Ratio described in Section
                  4.09(a) hereof; and

                           (C) such Restricted Payment, together with the
                  aggregate of all other Restricted Payments made by the Company
                  and its Restricted Subsidiaries after November 30, 1998
                  (excluding Restricted Payments permitted by clauses (2) and
                  (3) of Section 4.07(b)), is less than the sum of, without
                  duplication, (i) an amount equal to the Cumulative Operating
                  Cash Flow for the period (taken as one accounting period) from
                  the beginning of the first full month commencing after
                  November 30, 1998 to the end of the Company's most recently
                  ended fiscal quarter for which internal financial statements
                  are available at the time of such Restricted Payment (the
                  "Basket Period") less 1.4 times the Company's Cumulative Total
                  Interest Expense for the Basket Period, plus (ii) 100% of the
                  aggregate net cash proceeds and, in the case of proceeds
                  consisting of assets constituting or used in a Permitted
                  Business 100% of the fair market value of the aggregate net
                  proceeds other than cash, received since November 30, 1998 (1)
                  by the Company as capital contributions to the Company (other
                  than from a Subsidiary) or (2) from the sale by the Company
                  (other than to a Subsidiary) of its Equity Interests (other
                  than Disqualified Stock), plus (iii) to the extent that any
                  Restricted Investment that was made after November 30, 1998 is
                  sold for cash or otherwise liquidated or repaid for cash, the
                  Net Proceeds received by the Company or a Wholly Owned
                  Restricted Subsidiary of the Company upon the sale,
                  liquidation or repayment of such Restricted Investment, plus
                  (iv) to the extent that any Unrestricted Subsidiary is
                  designated by the Company as a Restricted Subsidiary, an
                  amount equal to the fair market value of such Investment at
                  the time of such designation, plus (v) 100% of any cash
                  dividends and other cash distributions received by the Company
                  from an Unrestricted Subsidiary, plus (vi) $2.5 million.

         (b) The foregoing provisions shall not prohibit (1) the payment of any
dividend within 60 days after the date of declaration thereof, if at said date
of declaration such payment would have complied with the provisions of this
Indenture; (2) the redemption, repurchase, retirement or other acquisition of
any Equity Interests or subordinated Indebtedness of the Company in exchange
for, or out of the net proceeds of, the substantially concurrent sale (other

                                       47
<PAGE>

than to a Subsidiary of the Company) of other Equity Interests of the Company
(other than any Disqualified Stock); provided that the amount of any such net
proceeds that are utilized for any such redemption, repurchase, retirement or
other acquisition shall be excluded from clause (C)(ii) of the preceding
paragraph; (3) the defeasance, redemption or repurchase of Indebtedness with the
proceeds of a substantially concurrent issuance of Permitted Refinancing Debt in
accordance with the provisions of Section 4.09 hereof; (4) the payment by the
Company of advances under the Split Dollar Agreement in an amount not to exceed
$250,000 in any four-quarter period; (5) the repurchase or redemption from
employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries (other than the Principal) of
Capital Stock of the Company in an amount not to exceed an aggregate of $5.0
million since the date of this Indenture; (6) the payment of dividends on the
Series A Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms thereof as in effect on
the Closing Date; provided, however, that cash dividends may not be paid on the
Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to this clause (6) prior to July 1, 2002; (7)
the issuance of Subordinated Notes in exchange for shares of the Series A
Preferred Stock; provided that such issuance is permitted by Section 4.09
hereof; (8) in the event that the Company elects to issue Subordinated Notes in
exchange for Series A Preferred Stock, cash payments made in lieu of the
issuance of Subordinated Notes having a face amount less than $1,000 and any
cash payments representing accrued and unpaid dividends in respect thereof, not
to exceed $100,000 in the aggregate in any fiscal year; and (9) cash payments
made in lieu of the issuance of additional Subordinated Notes having a face
amount less than $1,000 and any cash payments representing accrued and unpaid
interest in respect thereof, not to exceed $100,000 in the aggregate in any
fiscal year.

         (c) The amount of all Restricted Payments (other than cash) shall be
the fair market value on the date of the Restricted Payment of the asset(s) or
securities proposed to be transferred or issued by the Company or the applicable
Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, net of any liabilities proposed to be
assumed by the transferee and novated pursuant to a written agreement releasing
the Company and its Subsidiaries. Not later than the date of making any
Restricted Payment, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers'
Certificate stating that such Restricted Payment is permitted and setting forth
the basis upon which the calculations required by this covenant were computed,
which calculations may be based upon the Company's latest available financial
statements.

         (d) The Board of Directors may designate any Restricted Subsidiary to
be an Unrestricted Subsidiary if such designation would not cause a Default or
an Event of Default. For purposes of making such determination, all outstanding
Investments by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the Subsidiary so
designated shall be deemed to be Restricted Payments at the time of such
designation (valued as set forth below) and shall reduce the amount available
for Restricted Payments under Section 4.07(a) hereof. All such outstanding
Investments shall be deemed to constitute Investments in an amount equal to the
fair market value of such Investments at the time of such designation. Such
designation shall only be permitted if such Restricted Payment would be
permitted at such time and if such Restricted Subsidiary would otherwise meet
the definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary.

SECTION 4.08.     DIVIDEND AND OTHER PAYMENT RESTRICTIONS AFFECTING
                  SUBSIDIARIES.

                  The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create or otherwise cause or
suffer to exist or become effective any encumbrance or restriction on the
ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to (i)(a) pay dividends or make any other
distributions to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (1) on its
Capital Stock or (2) with respect to any other interest or participation in, or
measured by, its profits, or (b) pay any Indebtedness owed to the Company or any
of its Restricted Subsidiaries, (ii) make loans or advances to the Company or
any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or (iii) transfer any of its properties or
assets to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, except for such
encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of (a) the terms of any
Indebtedness permitted by this Indenture to be incurred by any Subsidiary of the
Company; provided, that, any such Indebtedness permits the payment of cash
dividends to the Company in an amount sufficient to enable the Company to make
payments of (A) interest required to be paid in respect of the Notes, (B)
interest required to be paid in respect of the 1997 Notes, (C) interest required
to be paid o the 1998 Notes and (D) after July 1, 2002, dividends required to be
paid in respect of the Series A Preferred Stock and interest required to be paid
in respect of the Notes, if issued, in each case, in accordance with the terms
thereof (except during the continuance of a default or event of default under
such other Indebtedness), (b) Existing Indebtedness or the PM&C Credit Facility,
each as in effect on the Closing Date, (c) this Indenture, the Notes, the
Subsidiary Guarantees, the 1997 Indenture, the 1997 Notes and the 1997 Notes
Subsidiary Guarantees, the 1998 Indenture, the 1998 Notes and the 1998 Notes
Subsidiary Guarantees, (d) applicable law, (e) any instrument governing
Indebtedness or Capital Stock of a Person acquired by the Company or any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries as in effect at the time of such acquisition (except to
the extent such Indebtedness was incurred in connection with or in contemplation
of such acquisition), which encumbrance or restriction is not applicable to any
Person, or the properties or assets of any Person, other than the Person and its
Subsidiaries, or the property or assets of the Person and its Subsidiaries, so
acquired, (f) by reason of customary non-assignment provisions in leases and
other contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business and consistent
with past practices or (g) any agreement for the sale of any Subsidiary or its
assets that restricts distributions by that Subsidiary pending its sale.


SECTION 4.09.     INCURRENCE OF INDEBTEDNESS AND ISSUANCE OF PREFERRED STOCK.

         (a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries
to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, issue, assume, guarantee or otherwise
become directly or indirectly liable, contingently or otherwise, with respect to
(collectively, "incur") any Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) and shall
not, and shall not permit any Subsidiary Guarantor to, issue any Disqualified
Stock and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that are not
Subsidiary Guarantors to issue any shares of preferred stock (other than
Qualified Subsidiary Stock); provided, however, that the Company or any
Restricted Subsidiary may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) or issue
shares of preferred stock (including Disqualified Stock) if, in each case, (1)
the Company's Indebtedness to Adjusted Operating Cash Flow Ratio as of the date
on which such Indebtedness is incurred or such preferred stock or Disqualified
Stock is issued would have been 7.0 to 1 or less, determined on a pro forma
basis (including a pro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom), as if
the additional Indebtedness had been incurred, or the Disqualified Stock or
preferred stock had been issued, as the case may be, as of the date of such
calculation and (2) no Default or Event of Default would occur as a consequence
thereof.

                                       49
<PAGE>

                  The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Subsidiary
Guarantor to, incur any Indebtedness that is contractually subordinated to any
other Indebtedness of the Company or of such Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case
may be, unless such Indebtedness is also contractually subordinated to the Notes
or the Subsidiary Guarantee of such Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case may be, on
substantially identical terms; provided, however, that no Indebtedness shall be
deemed to be contractually subordinated to any other Indebtedness solely by
virtue of being unsecured.

         (b) The foregoing provisions shall not apply to (collectively,
"Permitted Debt"):

                  (i) the incurrence by the Company's Unrestricted Subsidiaries
         of Non-Recourse Debt or the issuance by such Unrestricted Subsidiaries
         of preferred stock; provided, however, that if any such Indebtedness
         ceases to be Non-Recourse Debt of an Unrestricted Subsidiary or any
         such preferred stock becomes preferred stock (other than Qualified
         Subsidiary Stock) of a Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, such
         event shall be deemed to constitute an incurrence of Indebtedness by,
         or an issuance of preferred stock (other than Qualified Subsidiary
         Stock) of, as the case may be, a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company;

                  (ii) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted
         Subsidiaries of Indebtedness pursuant to one or more Bank Facilities if
         the aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding incurred
         pursuant to this clause (ii) does not exceed $50.0 million;

                  (iii) the incurrence by the Company and its Restricted
         Subsidiaries of the Existing Indebtedness;

                  (iv) the incurrence by the Company of Indebtedness under the
         Subordinated Exchange Notes to pay interest on outstanding Subordinated
         Notes;

                  (v) Indebtedness under the Notes and the Subsidiary
         Guarantees;

                  (vi) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted
         Subsidiaries of intercompany Indebtedness between or among the Company
         and any of its Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiaries; provided, however,
         that (1) if the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor is the obligor on
         such Indebtedness, such Indebtedness is expressly subordinated to the
         prior payment in full in cash of all obligations with respect to the
         Notes or the Subsidiary Guarantee of such Subsidiary Guarantor, as the
         case may be, and (2)(A) any subsequent issuance or transfer of Equity
         Interests that result in any such Indebtedness being held by a Person
         other than the Company or a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary of the
         Company and (B) any sale or other transfer of such Indebtedness to a
         Person that is not either the Company or a Wholly Owned Restricted
         Subsidiary of the Company shall be deemed, in each case, to constitute
         an incurrence of such Indebtedness by the Company or such Restricted
         Subsidiary, as the case may be;

                                       50
<PAGE>


                  (vii) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted
         Subsidiaries of Indebtedness represented by Capital Lease Obligations,
         mortgage financings or purchase money obligations, in each case
         incurred for the purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase
         price or cost of construction or improvement of property used in the
         business of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, in an aggregate
         principal amount not to exceed $7.5 million at any time outstanding,
         including all Permitted Refinancing Debt incurred pursuant to clause
         (viii) below to refund, replace or refinance any Indebtedness incurred
         pursuant to this clause (vii);

                  (viii) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted
         Subsidiaries of Permitted Refinancing Debt in exchange for, or the net
         proceeds of which are used to extend, refinance, renew, replace,
         defease or refund, Indebtedness (other than intercompany Indebtedness)
         that was permitted by this Indenture to be incurred;

                  (ix) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted
         Subsidiaries of Indebtedness (in addition to Indebtedness permitted by
         any other clause of this paragraph) in an aggregate principal amount at
         any time outstanding, including all Permitted Refinancing Debt incurred
         pursuant to clause (viii) above to refund, replace or refinance any
         Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause (ix), not to exceed $7.5
         million; and

                  (x) the guarantee by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary
         of the Company of Indebtedness of the Company or a Subsidiary of the
         Company that was permitted to be incurred by another provision of this
         Section 4.09.

                  For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.09,
in the event that an item of Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of
the categories of Permitted Debt described in clauses (i) through (x) above or
is permitted to be incurred pursuant to Section 4.09(a) hereof and also meets
the criteria of one or more of the categories of Permitted Debt described in
clauses (i) through (x) above, the Company shall, in its sole discretion,
classify such item of Indebtedness in any manner that complies with this Section
4.09 and may from time to time reclassify such item of Indebtedness in any
manner in which such item could be incurred at the time of such
reclassification. For purposes of this paragraph, "Indebtedness" includes
Disqualified Stock and preferred stock of Subsidiaries. Accrual of interest and
the accretion of accreted value will not be deemed to be an incurrence of
Indebtedness for purposes of this Section 4.09.


SECTION 4.10.     ASSET SALES.

         (a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale unless (i) the Company (or the
Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) receives consideration at the time of
such Asset Sale at least equal to the fair value (evidenced by a resolution of

                                       51
<PAGE>

the Board of Directors set forth in an Officers' Certificate delivered to the
Trustee) of the assets or Equity Interests issued or sold or otherwise disposed
of and (ii) at least 85% of the consideration therefor received by the Company
or such Restricted Subsidiary is in the form of cash; provided that the amount
of (x) any liabilities (as shown on the Company's or such Restricted
Subsidiary's most recent balance sheet or in notes thereto), of the Company or
any Restricted Subsidiary (other than liabilities that are by their terms
subordinated to the Notes or any guarantee thereof) that are assumed by the
transferee of any such assets and (y) any securities, notes or other obligations
received by the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee
that are contemporaneously (subject to ordinary settlement periods) converted by
the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash (to the extent of the cash
received), shall be deemed to be cash for purposes of this provision.

         (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company and its Restricted
Subsidiaries may engage in Asset Swaps (which shall not be deemed to be Asset
Sales for purposes of this Section 4.10); provided that, immediately after
giving effect to such Asset Swap, the Company would be permitted to incur at
least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Indebtedness to Adjusted
Operating Cash Flow Ratio set forth in Section 4.09(a) hereof.

         (c) Within 180 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset
Sale, the Company or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary may, at its option,
apply such Net Proceeds (i) to permanently reduce Indebtedness outstanding
pursuant to any Bank Facility (and to permanently reduce the commitments
thereunder by a corresponding amount), (ii) to permanently reduce Indebtedness
of any of the Company's Restricted Subsidiaries or (iii) to the acquisition by
the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of another business, the
making of a capital expenditure or the acquisition of other long-term assets, in
each case, in a Permitted Business; provided, however, that if the Company or
any Restricted Subsidiary enters into a legally binding agreement with an entity
that is not an Affiliate of the Company to reinvest such Net Proceeds in
accordance with this clause (iii) within 180 days after the receipt thereof, the
provisions of this Section 4.10 will be satisfied so long as such binding
agreement is consummated within one year after the receipt of such Net Proceeds.
If any such legally binding agreement to reinvest such Net Proceeds is
terminated, then the Company may, within 360 days of such Asset Sale, apply such
Net Proceeds as provided in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) above (without regard to
the proviso contained in clause (iii) above). Pending the final application of
any such Net Proceeds, the Company or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary may
temporarily reduce Indebtedness pursuant to any Bank Facility or otherwise
invest such Net Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by this Indenture.
A reduction of Indebtedness pursuant to any Bank Facility is not "permanent" for
purposes of clause (i) of this Section 4.10(c) if an amount equal to the amount
of such reduction is reborrowed and used to make an acquisition described in
clause (iii) of this Section 4.10(c) within the time period specified in this
Section 4.10. Any Net Proceeds from Asset Sales that are not applied or invested
as provided in the first sentence of this Section 4.10(c) will be deemed to
constitute "Excess Proceeds."

         (d) Within five days of each date on which the aggregate amount of
Excess Proceeds exceeds $10.0 million, the Company will be required to make an
offer to all Holders of Notes and the Holders of Pari Passu Debt, to the extent
required by the terms thereof (an "Asset Sale Offer") to purchase the maximum
principal amount of Notes and Pari Passu Debt that may be purchased out of the
Excess Proceeds, at an offer price in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the
principal amount thereof plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest and
Liquidated Damages, if any, to the date of purchase, in accordance with the
procedures set forth in Section 3.09 or the agreements governing Pari Passu
Debt, as applicable; provided, however, that the Company may only purchase Pari
Passu Debt in an Asset Sale Offer that was issued pursuant to an indenture
having a provision substantially similar to this Section 4.10.

                                       52
<PAGE>

         (e) To the extent that the aggregate amount of Notes and Pari Passu
Debt tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer is less than the Excess Proceeds,
the Company may use any remaining Excess Proceeds for general corporate
purposes.

         (f) If the aggregate principal amount of Notes and Pari Passu Debt
surrendered exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee shall select the
Notes and Pari Passu Debt to be purchased on a pro rata basis, based upon the
principal amount thereof surrendered in such Asset Sale Offer.

         (g) Upon completion of such offer to purchase, the amount of Excess
Proceeds shall be reset at zero.


SECTION 4.11.     TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.

                  The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries to, sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of
its properties or assets to, or purchase any property or assets from, or enter
into or make any contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee
with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate (each of the foregoing, an "Affiliate
Transaction"), unless (i) such Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are no
less favorable to the Company or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those
that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction by the Company or such
Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person and (ii) the Company delivers to
the Holders (a) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related
Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of $1.0
million, a resolution of the Board of Directors set forth in an Officers'
Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with clause (i)
above and that such Affiliate Transaction has been approved by a majority of the
disinterested members of the Board of Directors and a majority of the
Independent Directors and (b) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or
series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in
excess of $5.0 million, an opinion as to the fairness to the Company or such
Restricted Subsidiary of such Affiliate Transaction from a financial point of
view issued by an investment banking firm of national standing; provided that
the Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries
to, engage in any Affiliate Transaction involving aggregate consideration in
excess of $1.0 million at any time that there is not at least one Independent
Director on the Company's Board of Directors; and provided further that (w) any
employment agreement entered into by the Company or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business and consistent with the past
practice of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, (x) transactions between
or among the Company and/or its Restricted Subsidiaries, (y) the payment of any
dividend on, or the issuance of additional Subordinated Notes in exchange for,
the Series A Preferred Stock, provided that such dividends are paid on a pro
rata basis and the additional Subordinated Notes are issued in accordance with
the Certificate of Designation, and (z) transactions permitted by Section 4.07
hereof, in each case, shall not be deemed Affiliate Transactions.

                                       53
<PAGE>

SECTION 4.12.     LIENS.

                  The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly create, incur, assume or
suffer to exist any Lien on any asset now owned or hereafter acquired, or any
income or profits therefrom or assign or convey any right to receive income
therefrom, except Permitted Liens.


SECTION 4.13.     LIMITATION OF CERTAIN SUBSIDIARY INDEBTEDNESS AND PREFERRED
                  STOCK.

                  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture to the
contrary, the Company will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to
incur any Indebtedness (other than Eligible Indebtedness) or to issue any
Disqualified Stock; provided that any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Subsidiary
Guarantor may incur Indebtedness (whether or not such Indebtedness is Eligible
Indebtedness) or issue Disqualified Stock if such incurrence or issuance is
permitted under Section 4.09 hereof, provide further that notwithstanding the
immediately preceding proviso, in no event shall the Company permit any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries to incur any Indebtedness represented by senior secured
bonds or other senior secured securities, unless such Subsidiary is a Subsidiary
Guarantor and its Subsidiary Guarantee is secured on an equal and ratable basis
with other such other senior secured bonds or other senior secured securities.


SECTION 4.14.     CONTINUED EXISTENCE.

                  Subject to Article 5 hereof, the Company shall do or cause to
be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect (i)
its corporate existence, and the corporate, partnership or other existence of
each of its Restricted Subsidiaries, in accordance with the respective
organizational documents (as the same may be amended from time to time) of the
Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary and (ii) the rights (charter and
statutory), licenses and franchises of the Company and any of its Restrictive
Subsidiaries; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to
preserve any such right, license or franchise, or the corporate, partnership or
other existence of any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, if the Board of Directors
shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the
conduct of the business of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as
a whole, and that the loss thereof is not adverse in any material respect to the
Holders of the Notes.


SECTION 4.15.     OFFER TO REPURCHASE UPON CHANGE OF CONTROL.

         (a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each Holder of Notes
shall have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any part (but
not, in the case of any Holder requiring the Company to purchase less than all
of the Notes held by such Holder, any Note in principal amount less than $1,000)
of such Holder's Notes pursuant to the offer described below (the "Change of
Control Offer") at an offer price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate
principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest and liquidated
damages, if any, thereon to the date of purchase (the "Change of Control
payment").

         (b) Within ten days following any Change of Control, the Company shall
mail a notice to each Holder, with a copy to the Trustee, stating: (1) a
description of the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of
Control; (2) that the Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to this
Section 4.15 and that all Notes tendered shall be accepted for payment; (3) the
purchase price and the purchase date, which shall be no later than 30 Business
Days from the date such notice is mailed (the "Change of Control Payment Date");
(4) that any Note not tendered shall continue to accrue interest; (5) that,
unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Change of Control Payment, all
Notes accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer shall cease
to accrue interest after the Change of Control Payment Date; (6) that Holders
electing to have any Notes purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer shall
be required to surrender the Notes, with the form entitled "Option of Holder to
Elect Purchase" on the reverse of the Notes completed, to the Paying Agent at
the address specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the third
Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date; (7) that Holders
shall be entitled to withdraw their election if the Paying Agent receives, not
later than the close of business on the second Business Day preceding the Change
of Control Payment Date, a telegram, telex, facsimile, transmission or letter
setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of Notes delivered
for purchase, and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to
have the Notes purchased; and (8) that Holders whose Notes are being purchased
only in part shall be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the
unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, which unpurchased portion must be
equal to $1,000 in principal amount or an integral multiple thereof. The Company
will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any
other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws and
regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a
result of a Change of Control.

         (c) On or prior to 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time on the Change of Control
Payment Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful, (1) accept for payment
all Notes or portions thereof properly tendered pursuant to the Change of
Control Offer, (2) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change
of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions thereof so tendered and
(3) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes so accepted
together with an Officers' Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of
Notes or portions thereof being purchased by the Company. The Paying Agent will
promptly mail to each Holder of Notes so tendered the Change of Control Payment
for such Notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to
be transferred by book entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal
amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, if any. The Company
will publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon
as practicable after the Change of Control Payment Date.

         (d) The Company shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer
upon a Change of Control if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in
the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set
forth in this Section 4.15 and purchases all Notes validly tendered and not
withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer.

SECTION 4.16.     LIMITATION ON ISSUANCES AND SALES OF CAPITAL STOCK OF WHOLLY
                  OWNED RESTRICTED SUBSIDIARIES.

                  The Company (i) shall not, and shall not permit any Wholly
Owned Restricted Subsidiary of the Company to, transfer, convey, sell or
otherwise dispose of any Capital Stock of any Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary
of the Company to any Person (other than the Company or a Wholly Owned
Restricted Subsidiary of the Company), unless (a) such transfer, conveyance,
sale, lease or other disposition is of all the Capital Stock of such Wholly
Owned Restricted Subsidiary and (b) the cash Net Proceeds from such transfer,
conveyance, sale, lease or other disposition are applied in accordance with
Section 4.10 hereof and (ii) shall not permit any Wholly Owned Restricted
Subsidiary of the Company to issue any of its Equity Interests (other than, if
necessary, shares of its Capital Stock constituting directors' qualifying
shares) to any Person other than to the Company or a Wholly Owned Restricted
Subsidiary of the Company.


SECTION 4.17.     LIMITATION ON ISSUANCE OF SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEES

         (a) The Company shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to guarantee
the payment of any Indebtedness of the Company or any Indebtedness of any
Subsidiary Guarantor (in each case, the "Guaranteed Debt;" the Company or the
Subsidiary Guarantor that is primarily liable on the Guaranteed Debt being the
"Obligor") unless (i) if such Restricted Subsidiary is not a Subsidiary
Guarantor, such Restricted Subsidiary simultaneously executes and delivers a
supplemental indenture to this Indenture in form attached hereto as Exhibit E
providing for a guarantee (a "Subsidiary Guarantee") of payment of the Notes by
such Restricted Subsidiary, (ii) if the Guaranteed Debt is by its express terms
subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or the Subsidiary Guarantee of
such Obligor, any such guarantee of such Subsidiary Guarantor with respect to
the Guaranteed Debt shall be subordinated in right of payment to such Subsidiary
Guarantor's Subsidiary Guarantee with respect to the Notes substantially to the
same extent as the Guaranteed Debt is subordinated to the Notes or the
Subsidiary Guarantee of such Obligor, (iii) such Restricted Subsidiary waives
and will not in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of,
any rights of reimbursement indemnity or subrogation or any other rights against
the Company or any other Restricted Subsidiary as a result of any payment by
such Restricted Subsidiary under its Subsidiary Guarantee and (iv) such
Restricted Subsidiary shall deliver to the Trustee an opinion of counsel to the
effect that (A) such Subsidiary Guarantee of the Notes has been duly executed
and authorized and (B) such Subsidiary Guarantee of the Notes constitutes a
valid, binding and enforceable obligation of such Restricted Subsidiary, except
insofar as enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or
similar laws (including, without limitation, all laws relating to fraudulent
transfers) and except insofar as enforcement thereof is subject to general
principles of equity.

                                       56
<PAGE>


         (b) No Subsidiary Guarantor may consolidate with or merge with or into
(whether or not such Subsidiary Guarantor is the surviving Person), another
corporation, Person or entity whether or not affiliated with such Subsidiary
Guarantor unless (i) subject to the provisions of Section 4.17(c) hereof, the
Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than
such Subsidiary Guarantor) assumes all the obligations of such Subsidiary
Guarantor pursuant to a supplemental indenture in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit E, under the Notes, the Indenture and the Registration Rights Agreement;
(ii) immediately after giving effect to such transaction no Default or Event of
Default exists; and (iii) the Company would be permitted to incur $1.00 of
additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Indebtedness to Adjusted Operating Cash
Flow Ratio described in Section 4.09(a) hereof.

         (c) In the event of a sale or other disposition of all of the assets of
any Subsidiary Guarantor, by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise, or a
sale or other disposition of all of the capital stock of any Subsidiary
Guarantor, then such Subsidiary Guarantor (in the event of a sale or other
disposition, by way of such a merger, consolidation or otherwise, of all the
capital stock of such Subsidiary Guarantor) or the corporation acquiring the
property (in the event of a sale or other disposition of all of the assets of
such Subsidiary Guarantor) will be released and relieved of any obligation under
its Subsidiary Guarantee; provided that the Net Proceeds of such sale or other
disposition shall be applied in accordance with Section 4.10 hereof.

         (d) Any Subsidiary Guarantor that is designated as an Unrestricted
Subsidiary in accordance with the terms of this Indenture will be released and
relieved of its obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee for so long as such
Subsidiary is so designated.


SECTION 4.18.     NO AMENDMENT OF SUBORDINATION PROVISIONS.

                  Without the consent of each Holder of Notes outstanding, the
Company shall not amend, modify or alter the Subordinated Exchange Note
Indenture in any way that will (i) increase the rate of or change the time for
payment of interest on any Subordinated Exchange Notes, (ii) increase the
principal of, advance the final maturity date of or shorten the Weighted Average
Life to Maturity of any Subordinated Exchange Notes, (iii) alter the redemption
provisions or the price or terms at which the Company is required to offer to
purchase such Subordinated Exchange Notes in a manner that would be adverse to
any Holder of Notes or (iv) amend the provisions of Article 10 of the
Subordinated Exchange Note Indenture (which relate to subordination).

SECTION 5.01.     MERGER, CONSOLIDATION, OR SALE OF ASSETS.

                  The Company shall not consolidate or merge with or into

transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its

                                       57
<PAGE>

properties or assets in one or more related transactions, to another
corporation, Person or entity unless (i) the Company is the surviving
corporation or the entity or the Person formed by or surviving any such
consolidation or merger (if other than the Company) or to which such sale,
assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition shall have been
made is a corporation organized or existing under the laws of the United States,
any state thereof or the District of Columbia; (ii) the entity or Person formed
by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than the Company) or
the entity or Person to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance
or other disposition shall have been made assumes all the Obligations of the
Company under the Notes, this Indenture and the Registration Rights Agreement
pursuant to a supplemental indenture in a form reasonably satisfactory to the
Trustee; (iii) immediately after such transaction no Default or Event of Default
exists; (iv) the Company or the entity or Person formed by or surviving any such
consolidation or merger (if other than the Company), or to which such sale,
assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition shall have been
made will, at the time of such transaction and after giving pro forma effect
thereto as if such transaction had occurred at the beginning of the applicable
four-quarter period, be permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional
Indebtedness pursuant to the Indebtedness to Adjusted Operating Cash Flow Ratio
set forth in Section 4.09(a) hereof and (v) each Subsidiary Guarantor, if any,
unless it is the other party to the transactions described above, shall have by
supplemental indenture confirmed that its Subsidiary Guarantee shall apply to
such Person's obligations under the Indenture, the Notes and the Registration
Rights Agreement.


SECTION 5.02.     SUCCESSOR CORPORATION SUBSTITUTED.

                  Upon any consolidation or merger, or any sale, assignment,
transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of
the assets of the Company in accordance with Section 5.01 hereof, the successor
corporation formed by such consolidation or into or with which the Company is
merged or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other
disposition is made shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and
after the date of such consolidation, merger, sale, lease, conveyance or other
disposition, the provisions of this Indenture referring to the "Company" shall
refer instead to the successor corporation and not to the Company), and may
exercise every right and power of the Company under this Indenture with the same
effect as if such successor Person had been named as the Company herein;
provided, however, that the predecessor Company shall not be relieved from the
obligation to pay the principal of and interest on the Notes except in the case
of a sale of all of the Company's assets that meets the requirements of Section
5.01 hereof.

                              DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES


SECTION 6.01.     EVENTS OF DEFAULT

         An "Event of Default" occurs if:

         (a) the Company Defaults in the payment when due of interest on, or
Liquidated Damages, if any, with respect to, the Notes and such Default
continues for a period of 30 days;

                                       58
<PAGE>


         (b) the Company defaults in the payment when due of principal of or
premium, if any, on the Notes when the same becomes due and payable at maturity,
upon redemption or otherwise;

         (c) the Company fails to comply with any of the provisions of section
4.07, 4.09, 4.10, 4.15 or 5.01 hereof;

         (d) the Company or any Subsidiary fails to observe or perform any other
covenant, representation, warranty or other agreement in this Indenture, the
Notes for 60 days after notice to comply;

         (e) a default occurs under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under
which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any
Indebtedness for money borrowed by the Company or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries (on the payment of which is guaranteed by the Company or any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries), whether such Indebtedness or guarantee now exists, or
is created after the date of this Indenture, which default (i) is caused by a
failure to pay principal of or premium, if any, or interest on such Indebtedness
prior to the expiration of the grace period provided in such Indebtedness on the
date of such default (a "Payment Default") or (ii) results in the acceleration
of such Indebtedness prior to its express maturity and, in each case, the
principal amount of such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any
other such Indebtedness under which there has been a Payment Default or the
maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregates $5.0 million or more;

         (f) a final judgment or final judgments for the payment of money are
entered by a court or courts of competent jurisdiction against the Company or
any Restricted Subsidiary that would be a Significant Subsidiary and such
judgment or judgments remain unpaid, undischarged, or unstayed for a period of
60 days, provided that the aggregate of all such undischarged judgments exceeds
$5.0 million;

         (g) the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or any group of
Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken as a whole, would constitute a Significant
Subsidiary pursuant to or within the meaning of Bankruptcy Law:

                  (i)   commences a voluntary case,

                  (ii)  consents to the entry of an order for relief against it
         in an involuntary case,

                  (iii) consents to the appointment of a custodian of it or for
         all or substantially all of its property,

                  (iv)  makes a general assignment for the benefit of its
         creditors, or

                  (v)   generally is not paying its debts as they become due; or

         (h) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under
any Bankruptcy Law that:

                                       59
<PAGE>


                  (i) is for relief against the Company or any of its Restricted
         Subsidiaries or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken as a
         whole, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary in an involuntary
         case;

                  (ii) appoints a custodian of the Company or any of its
         Restricted Subsidiaries or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that,
         taken as a whole, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary or for all
         or substantially all of the property of the Company or any of its
         Restricted Subsidiaries or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that,
         taken as a whole, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary; or

                  (iii) orders the liquidation of the Company or any of its
         Restricted Subsidiaries or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that,
         taken as a whole, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary;

and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 consecutive days;
or

         (i) the termination of any Subsidiary Guarantee for any reason not
permitted by this Indenture, or the denial by any Subsidiary Guarantor or any
Person acting on behalf of any Subsidiary Guarantor of such Subsidiary
Guarantor's obligations under its respective Subsidiary Guarantee.

                  The term "custodian" as used in this Article VI means any
receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator or similar official under any Bankruptcy
Law.

                  An Event of Default shall not be deemed to have occurred under
clause (c), (e) or (f) until the Trustee shall have received at the Corporate
Trust Office of the Trustee written notice from the Company or any of the
Holders or unless a Responsible Officer shall have actual knowledge of such
Event of Default. A Default under clause (e) is not an Event of Default until
the Trustee notifies the Company, or the Holders of at least 25% in principal
amount of the then outstanding Notes notify the Company and the Trustee, of the
Default and the Company does not cure the Default within 60 days after receipt
of the notice. The notice must specify the Default, demand that it be remedied
and state that the notice is a "Notice of Default."

                  In the case of any Event of Default pursuant to the provisions
of this Section 6.01 occurring by reason of any action (or inaction) willfully
taken (or not taken) by or on behalf of the Company with the intention of
avoiding payment of the premium that the Company would have had to pay if the
Company then had elected to redeem the Notes pursuant to Section 3.07 hereof, an
equivalent premium shall also become and be immediately due and payable to the
extent permitted by law upon the acceleration of the Notes, anything in this
Indenture or in the Notes to the contrary notwithstanding; provided that the
Trustee shall not be under any duty to collect such premium on behalf of the
Holders until such time as Holders of at least 10% in principal amount of the
then outstanding Notes so notify the Trustee. If an Event of Default occurs
prior to August 1, 2003 by reason of any willful action (or inaction) taken (or
not taken) by or on behalf of the Company with the intention of avoiding the
prohibition on redemption of the Notes prior to August 1, 2003, then the premium
payable for purposes of this paragraph for the twelve month period beginning on
August 1 of the years set forth below shall be as set forth in the following
table expressed as a percentage of the amount that would otherwise be due but
for the provisions of this sentence, plus accrued interest, if any, to the date
of payment:

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

2001...........................................................     110.416%
2002...........................................................     108.333%



SECTION 6.02.     ACCELERATION.

                  If any Event of Default (other than an Event of Default
specified in clause (g) or (h) of Section 6.01 hereof) occurs and is continuing,
the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then
outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately.
Upon any such declaration, the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued and
unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, on the Notes shall become due
and payable immediately. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default
specified in clause (g) or (h) of Section 6.01 hereof occurs with respect to the
Company, any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that would constitute a Significant
Subsidiary, or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken as a whole,
would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, all outstanding Notes shall be due
and payable immediately without further action or notice. Holders of the Notes
may not enforce this Indenture or the Notes except as provided in this
Indenture. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal
amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of
any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders of the Notes notice of
any continuing Default or Event of Default (except a Default or Event of Default
relating to the payment of principal or interest or Liquidated Damages, if any)
if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest.


SECTION 6.03.     OTHER REMEDIES.

                  If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee
may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal, premium, if
any, and interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of
the Notes or this Indenture.

                  The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not
possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A
delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder of a Note in exercising any right
or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy
or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. All remedies
are cumulative to the extent permitted by law.

                                       61
<PAGE>

SECTION 6.04.     WAIVER OF PAST DEFAULTS.

                  Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the then outstanding Notes by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of
the Holders of all of the Notes waive an existing Default or Event of Default
and its consequences hereunder, except a continuing Default or Event of Default
in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, the Notes
(including in connection with an offer to purchase) (provided, however, that the
Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding
Notes may rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including any related
payment default that resulted from such acceleration). Upon any such waiver,
such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom
shall be deemed to have been cured 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 6.05.     CONTROL BY MAJORITY.

                  Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then
outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any
proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any
trust or power conferred on it. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any
direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture that the Trustee determines
may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders of Notes or that may
involve the Trustee in personal liability.


SECTION 6.06.     LIMITATION ON SUITS.

                  A Holder of a Note may pursue a remedy with respect to this
Indenture or the Notes only if:

         (a) the Holder of a Note gives to the Trustee written notice of a
continuing Event of Default;

         (b) the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then
outstanding Notes make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy;

         (c) such Holder of a Note or Holders of Notes offer and, if requested,
provide to the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss,
liability or expense;

         (d) the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after
receipt of the request and the offer and, if requested, the provision of
indemnity; and

         (e) during such 60-day period the Holders of a majority in principal
amount of the then outstanding Notes do not give the Trustee a direction
inconsistent with the request.

                  A Holder of a Note may not use this Indenture to prejudice the
rights of another Holder of a Note or to obtain a preference or priority over
another Holder of a Note.

SECTION 6.07.     RIGHTS OF HOLDERS OF NOTES TO RECEIVE PAYMENT.

                  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the
right of any Holder of a Note to receive payment of principal, premium, if any,
and interest on the Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the
Note (including in connection with an offer to purchase), or to bring suit for
the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not
be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.


SECTION 6.08.     COLLECTION SUIT BY TRUSTEE.

                  If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a) or (b)
occurs and is continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its
own name and as Trustee of an express trust against the Company for the whole
amount of principal of, premium, if any, and interest remaining unpaid on the
Notes and interest on overdue principal and, to the extent lawful, interest and
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.


SECTION 6.09.     TRUSTEE MAY FILE PROOFS OF CLAIM.

                  The Trustee is authorized to file such proofs of claim and
other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the
claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation,
expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and
the Holders of the Notes allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the
Company (or any other obligor upon the Notes), its creditors or its property and
shall be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money or
other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and any custodian 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 to 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 7.07 hereof. To the extent that the payment of any such
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents
and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof out
of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of
the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all
distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the
Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or
under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein
contained 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 Notes or the rights of any Holder, or to
authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such
proceeding.

                                     TRUSTEE


SECTION 7.01.     DUTIES OF TRUSTEE.

         (a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, 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 its exercise, as a prudent person would
exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of its own affairs.

         (b) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default:

                  (i) the duties of the Trustee shall be determined solely by
         the express provisions of this Indenture and the Trustee need perform
         only those duties that are specifically set forth in this Indenture and
         no others, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into
         this Indenture against the Trustee; and

                                       64
<PAGE>


                  (ii) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may
         conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the
         correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or
         opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of
         this Indenture. However, the Trustee shall examine the certificates and
         opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements
         of this Indenture.

         (c) The Trustee may not be relieved from liabilities for its own
negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful
misconduct, except that:

                  (i)  this paragraph does not limit the effect of paragraph (b)
         of this Section;

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

                  (iii) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any
         action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a
         direction received by it pursuant to Section 6.05 hereof.

         (d) Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of
this Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee is subject to paragraphs
(a), (b), and (c) of this Section.

         (e) No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend
or risk its own funds or incur any liability. The Trustee shall be under no
obligation to exercise any of its rights and powers under this Indenture at the
request of any Holders, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee
security and indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or
expense.

         (f) The Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any money received
by it except as the Trustee may agree in writing with the Company. Money held in
trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the
extent required by law.


SECTION 7.02.     RIGHTS OF TRUSTEE.

         (a) The Trustee may conclusively rely upon 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.

         (b) Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an
Officers' Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel or both. The Trustee shall not be
liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on
such Officers' Certificate or Opinion of Counsel. The Trustee may consult with
counsel and the written advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall
be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect of
any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in
reliance thereon.

                                       65
<PAGE>

         (c) The Trustee may act through its attorneys and agents and shall not
be responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any agent appointed with due
care.

         (d) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to
take in good faith that it believes to be authorized or within the rights or
powers conferred upon it by this Indenture.

         (e) Unless otherwise specifically provided in this Indenture, any
demand, request, direction or notice from the Company shall be sufficient if
signed by an Officer of the Company.

         (f) 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 unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee
reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities
that might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction.


SECTION 7.03.     INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS OF TRUSTEE.

                  The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become
the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Company or any
Affiliate of the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not
Trustee. However, in the event that the Trustee acquires any conflicting
interest it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days, apply to the SEC for
permission to continue as trustee or resign. Any Agent may do the same with like
rights and duties. The Trustee is also subject to Sections 7.10 and 7.11 hereof.


SECTION 7.04.     TRUSTEE'S DISCLAIMER.

                  The Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no
representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Notes, it
shall not be accountable for the Company's use of the proceeds from the Notes or
any money paid to the Company or upon the Company's direction under any
provision of this Indenture, it shall not be responsible for the use or
application of any money received by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee,
and it shall not be responsible for any statement or recital herein or any
statement in the Notes or any other document in connection with the sale of the
Notes or pursuant to this Indenture other than its certificate of
authentication.


SECTION 7.05.     NOTICE OF DEFAULTS.

                  If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing and
if a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge of such Default or
Event of Default, the Trustee shall mail to Holders of Notes a notice of the
Default or Event of Default within 90 days after it occurs. Except in the case
of a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal of, or interest on, any
Note, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its
Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in
the interests of the Holders of the Notes.

                                       66
<PAGE>

SECTION 7.06.     REPORTS BY TRUSTEE TO HOLDERS OF THE NOTES.

                  Within 60 days after each May 15 beginning with the May 15
following the date of this Indenture, and for so long as Notes remain
outstanding, the Trustee shall mail to the Holders of the Notes a brief report
dated as of such reporting date that complies with TIA ss. 313(a) (but if no
event described in TIA ss. 313(a) has occurred within the twelve months
preceding the reporting date, no report need be transmitted). The Trustee also
shall comply with TIA ss. 313(b)(2). The Trustee shall also transmit by mail all
reports as required by TIA ss. 313(c). A copy of each report at the time of its
mailing to the Holders of Notes shall be mailed to the Company and filed with
the SEC and each stock exchange on which the Notes are listed in accordance with
TIA ss. 313(d). The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee when the Notes are
listed on any stock exchange.


SECTION 7.07.     COMPENSATION AND INDEMNITY.

                  The Company shall pay to the Trustee from time to time such
compensation for its acceptance of this Indenture and services hereunder as the
Company and Trustee have separately agreed. The Trustee's compensation shall not
be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The
Company shall reimburse the Trustee promptly upon request for all reasonable
disbursements, advances and expenses incurred or made by it in addition to the
compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include the reasonable
compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee's agents and counsel.

                  The Company shall indemnify the Trustee against any and all
losses, liabilities or expenses incurred by it arising out of or in connection
with the acceptance or administration of its duties under this Indenture,
including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against the Company
(including this Section 7.07) and defending itself against any claim (whether
asserted by the Company or any Holder or any other person) or liability in
connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties
hereunder, except to the extent any such loss, liability or expense may be
attributable to its negligence or bad faith. The Trustee shall notify the
Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the
Trustee to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of its
obligations hereunder. The Company shall defend the claim and the Trustee shall
cooperate in the defense. The Trustee may have separate counsel and the Company
shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. The Company need not
pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld.

                  The obligations of the Company under this Section 7.07 shall
survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

                  To secure the Company's payment obligations in this Section,
the Trustee shall have a Lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held
or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal and
interest on particular Notes. Such Lien shall survive the satisfaction and
discharge of this Indenture.

                                       67
<PAGE>


                  When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an
Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(g) or (h) hereof occurs, the expenses
and the compensation for the services (including the fees and expenses of its
agents and counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of administration under
any Bankruptcy Law.

                  The Trustee shall comply with the provisions of TIA ss.
313(b)(2) to the extent applicable.


SECTION 7.08.     REPLACEMENT OF TRUSTEE.

                  A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a
successor Trustee shall become effective only upon the successor Trustee's
acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section.

                  The Trustee may resign in writing at any time and be
discharged from the trust hereby created by so notifying the Company. The
Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may
remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and the Company in writing. The
Company may remove the Trustee if:

         (a) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10 hereof;

         (b) the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent or an order for
relief is entered with respect to the Trustee under any Bankruptcy Law;

         (c) a custodian or public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its
property; or

         (d) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting.

                  If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in
the office of Trustee for any reason, the Company shall promptly appoint a
successor Trustee. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the
Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may
appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the
Company.

                  If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days
after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the
Company, or the Holders of at least 10% in principal amount of the then
outstanding Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of a successor Trustee.

                  If the Trustee, after written request by any Holder of a Note
who has been a Holder of a Note for at least six months, fails to comply with
Section 7.10, such Holder of a Note may petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor
Trustee.

                                       68
<PAGE>

                  A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its
appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Thereupon, the
resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the
successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee
under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its
succession to Holders of the Notes. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer
all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, provided all sums
owing to the Trustee hereunder have been paid and subject to the Lien provided
for in Section 7.07 hereof. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant
to this Section 7.08, the Company's obligations under Section 7.07 hereof shall
continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.


SECTION 7.09.     SUCCESSOR TRUSTEE BY MERGER, ETC.

                  If the Trustee consolidates, merges or converts into, or
transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another
corporation, the successor corporation without any further act shall be the
successor Trustee.


SECTION 7.10.     ELIGIBILITY; DISQUALIFICATION.

                  There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder that is a
corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of
America or of any state thereof that is authorized under such laws to exercise
corporate trustee power, that is subject to supervision or examination by
federal or state authorities and that has a combined capital and surplus of at
least $100 million as set forth in its most recent published annual report of
condition.

                  This Indenture shall always have a Trustee who satisfies the
requirements of TIA ss. 310(a)(1), (2) and (5). The Trustee is subject to TIA
ss. 310(b).


SECTION 7.11.     PREFERENTIAL COLLECTION OF CLAIMS AGAINST COMPANY.

                  The Trustee is subject to TIA ss. 311(a), excluding any
creditor relationship listed in TIA ss. 311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or
been removed shall be subject to TIA ss. 311(a) Section 7.01. to the extent
indicated therein.


                                   ARTICLE 8.
                    LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE


SECTION 8.01.     OPTION TO EFFECT LEGAL DEFEASANCE OR COVENANT DEFEASANCE.

                  The Company may, at the option of its Board of Directors
evidenced by a resolution set forth in an Officers' Certificate, at any time,
elect to have either Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof be applied to all outstanding
Notes upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article 8.

                                       69
<PAGE>

SECTION 8.02.     LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND DISCHARGE.

                  Upon the Company's exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the
option applicable to this Section 8.02, the Company shall, subject to the
satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be deemed to
have been discharged from its obligations with respect to all outstanding Notes
on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, "Legal
Defeasance"). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Company shall be
deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the
outstanding Notes, which shall thereafter be deemed to be "outstanding" only for
the purposes of Section 8.05 hereof and the other Sections of this Indenture
referred to in (a) and (b) below, and to have satisfied all of its other
Obligations under such Notes and this Indenture (and the Trustee, on demand of
and at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments
acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions which shall survive
until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (a) the rights of Holders of
outstanding Notes to receive solely from the trust fund described in Section
8.04 hereof, and as more fully set forth in such Section, payments in respect of
the principal of, premium, if any, and interest and Liquidated Damages, if any,
on such Notes when such payments are due, (b) the Company's obligations with
respect to such Notes under Article 2 and Section 4.02 hereof, (c) the rights,
powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder, and the
Company's obligations in connection therewith and (d) this Article 8. Subject to
compliance with this Article 8, the Company may exercise its option under this
Section 8.02 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 8.03
hereof.


SECTION 8.03.     COVENANT DEFEASANCE.

                  Upon the Company's exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the
option applicable to this Section 8.03, the Company shall, subject to the
satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be released
from its obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 3.09, 4.07, 4.08,
4.09, 4.10, 4.11, 4.12, 4.13, 4.15, 4.16, 4.17, 4.18 and 5.01 hereof with
respect to the outstanding Notes on and after the date the conditions set forth
below are satisfied (hereinafter, "Covenant Defeasance"), and the Notes shall
thereafter be deemed not "outstanding" for the purposes of any direction,
waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any
thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall continue to be deemed
"outstanding" for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such
Notes shall not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this
purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the "outstanding"
Notes, 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 covenant,
whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to
any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any
other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply
shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01 hereof,
but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes
shall be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Company's exercise under
Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, subject to
the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, Sections
6.01(d) through 6.01(f) hereof shall not constitute Events of Default.

         (a) the Company must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust,
for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes, cash in United States dollars,
non-callable Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as
will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of
independent public accountants, to pay the principal of, interest and premium
and Liquidated Damages, if any, on the outstanding Notes on the stated maturity
or on the applicable redemption date, as the case may be, and the Company must
specify whether the Notes are being defeased to maturity or to a particular
redemption date;

         (b) in the case of an election under Section 8.02 hereof, the Company
shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the United States
reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that (i) the Company has
received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a
ruling or (ii) since the date of this Indenture, there has been a change in the
applicable federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based
thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the Holders of the
outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax
purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to federal
income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as
would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred;

         (c) in the case of an election under Section 8.03 hereof, the Company
shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the United States
reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that the Holders of the
outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax
purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to federal

ending on the 91st day after the date of deposit (or greater period of time in
which any such deposit of trust funds may remain subject to bankruptcy or
insolvency laws insofar as those apply to the deposit by the Company);

         (e) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a
breach or violation of, or constitute a default under any material agreement or
instrument (other than this Indenture) to which the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is
bound;

         (f) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of
Counsel to the effect that, as of the date of such opinion, (i) the trust funds
will not be subject to the rights of holders of Indebtedness other than the

date of deposit and the 91st day (or greater period of time in which any such
deposit of trust funds may remain subject to bankruptcy or insolvency laws
insofar as those apply to the deposit by the Company) following the deposit and
assuming no Holder of Notes is an insider of the Company, after the 91st day (or
later date until which any such deposit of trust funds may remain subject to
bankruptcy or insolvency laws insofar as those apply to the deposit by the
Company) following the deposit, the trust funds will not be subject to the
effects of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws
affecting creditors' rights generally under any applicable United States or
state law;

                                       71
<PAGE>

         (g) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers'

Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions
precedent provided for or relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant
Defeasance have been complied with.


SECTION 8.05.     DEPOSITED MONEY AND GOVERNMENT SECURITIES TO BE HELD IN TRUST;
                  OTHER MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.

                  Subject to Section 8.06 hereof, all money and non-callable
Government Securities (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the
Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section
8.05, the "Trustee") pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof in respect of the
outstanding Notes shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in
accordance with the provisions of such Notes and this Indenture, to the payment,
either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as
Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Notes of all
sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium, if any, and
interest, but such money 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 cash or non-callable
Government Securities deposited pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof 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 the outstanding Notes.

                  Anything in this Article 8 to the contrary notwithstanding,
the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon the
request of the Company any money or non-callable Government Securities held by
it as provided in Section 8.04 hereof which, in the opinion of a nationally
recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written
certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be the opinion
delivered under Section 8.04(a) hereof), are in excess of the amount thereof
that would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal
Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

SECTION 8.06.     REPAYMENT TO COMPANY.

                  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, premium
or interest or Liquidated Damages, if any, on any Note and remaining unclaimed
for two years after such principal, and premium, if any, or interest has become
due and payable shall be paid to the Company on its request or (if then held by
the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note
shall thereafter, as a secured 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

SECTION 8.07.     REINSTATEMENT.

                  If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any United
States dollars or non-callable Government Securities in accordance with Section
8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as the case may be, by reason of any order or judgment of
any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise
prohibiting such application, then the obligations of the Company under this
Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had
occurred pursuant to Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof until such time as the Trustee
or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section
8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if the Company
makes any payment of principal of, premium or interest or Liquidated Damages, if
any, on any Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company
shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such
payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

                        AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER


SECTION 9.01.     WITHOUT CONSENT OF HOLDERS OF NOTES.

                  Notwithstanding Section 9.02 of this Indenture, the Company, a
Subsidiary Guarantor (with respect to a Subsidiary Guarantee or the Indenture to
which it is a party) and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture, the
Notes or the Subsidiary Guarantees without the consent of any Holder of a Note:

         (a) to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency;

         (b) to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of
certificated Notes;

                                       73
<PAGE>


         (c) to provide for the assumption of the Company's or any Subsidiary
Guarantor's obligations to Holders of Notes in the case of a merger or
consolidation pursuant to Article 5 hereof, as applicable;

         (d) to make any change that would provide any additional rights or
benefits to the Holders of Notes or that does not adversely affect the legal
rights hereunder of any such Holder; or

         (e) to comply with the requirements of the SEC in order to effect or
maintain the qualification of this Indenture under the TIA or to allow any
Subsidiary Guarantor to guarantee the Notes.

                  Upon the request of the Company accompanied by a resolution of
the Board of Directors of the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor, as applicable,
authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental Indenture, and
upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.02 hereof,
the Trustee shall join with the Company or such Subsidiary Guarantor in the
execution of any amended or supplemental Indenture authorized or permitted by
the terms of this Indenture and to make any further appropriate agreements and
stipulations that may be therein contained, but the Trustee shall not be
obligated to enter into such amended or supplemental Indenture or Subsidiary
Guarantee that affects its own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture
or otherwise.


SECTION 9.02.     WITH CONSENT OF HOLDERS OF NOTES.

                  Except as provided below in this Section 9.02, the Company, a
Subsidiary Guarantor (with respect to a Subsidiary Guarantee or the Indenture to
which it is a party) and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture, the
Notes or the Subsidiary Guarantees may be amended or supplemented with the
consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Notes
then outstanding (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection
with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes), and, subject
to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 hereof, any existing Default or Event of Default
(other than a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of,
premium or interest or Liquidated Damages, if any, on the Notes) or compliance
with any provision of this Indenture or the Notes may be waived with the consent
of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes
(including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase
of, or tender offer or exchange offer for the Notes). Any amendment to the
provisions of Article 10 hereof including the related definitions will require
the consent of the Holders of at least 75% in aggregate principal amount of the
Notes then outstanding if such amendment would adversely affect the rights of
Holders of Notes.

                  Upon the request of the Company accompanied by a resolution of
the Board of Directors of the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor, as applicable,
authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental Indenture, and
upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee of the
consent of the Holders of Notes as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee of
the documents described in Section 7.02 hereof, the Trustee shall join with the
Company or such Subsidiary Guarantor in the execution of such amended or
supplemental Indenture unless such amended or supplemental Indenture affects the
Trustee's own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in
which case the Trustee may in its discretion, but shall not be obligated to,
enter into such amended or supplemental Indenture.

                                       74
<PAGE>


                  It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders of
Notes under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed
amendment or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the
substance thereof.

                  After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section
9.02 becomes effective, the Company shall mail to the Holders of Notes affected
thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any
failure of the Company to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not,
however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amended or
supplemental Indenture or waiver. Subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 hereof, the
Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then
outstanding may waive compliance in a particular instance by the Company with
any provision of this Indenture or the Notes. However, without the consent of
each Holder affected, an amendment or waiver may not (with respect to any Notes
held by a non-consenting Holder):

         (a) reduce the principal amount of Notes whose Holders must consent to
an amendment, supplement or waiver;

         (b) reduce the principal of or change the fixed maturity of any Note or
alter the provisions with respect to the redemption of the Notes (other than
provisions relating to Sections 3.09, 4.10 and 4.15 hereof);

         (c) reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest,
including default interest, on any Note;

         (d) waive a Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of
or interest or premium or Liquidated Damages, if any, on the Notes (except a
rescission of acceleration of the Notes by the Holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the Notes and a waiver of the payment default that
resulted from such acceleration);

         (e) make any Note payable in money other than that stated in the Notes;

         (f) make any change in the provisions of this Indenture relating to
waivers of past Defaults or the rights of Holders of Notes to receive payments
of principal of or interest or premium or Liquidated Damages, if any, on the
Notes;

         (g) waive a redemption payment with respect to any Note (other than a
payment required by the provisions of Section 3.09, 4.10 or 4.15 hereof);

         (h) make any change in Section 6.04 or 6.07 hereof or in the foregoing
amendment and waiver provisions; or

                                       75
<PAGE>

         (i) except as provided in Article 8 hereof or otherwise in accordance
with the terms of this Indenture or any Subsidiary Guarantee, release a
Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee or make
any change in a Subsidiary Guarantee that would adversely affect the Holders of
the Notes.


SECTION 9.03.     COMPLIANCE WITH TRUST INDENTURE ACT.

                  Every amendment or supplement to this Indenture or the Notes
shall be set forth in an amended or supplemental Indenture that complies with
the TIA as then in effect.


SECTION 9.04.     REVOCATION AND EFFECT OF CONSENTS.

                  Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a
consent to it by a Holder of a Note is a continuing consent by the Holder of a
Note and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences
the same debt as the consenting Holder's Notes, even if notation of the consent
is not made on any Notes. However, any such Holder of a Note or subsequent
Holder of a Note may revoke the consent as to its Notes if the Trustee receives
written notice of revocation before the date the waiver, supplement or amendment
becomes effective. An amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in
accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every Holder.


SECTION 9.05.     NOTATION ON OR EXCHANGE OF NOTES.

                  The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an
amendment, supplement or waiver on any Notes thereafter authenticated. The
Company in exchange for all Notes may issue and the Trustee shall authenticate
new Notes that reflect the amendment, supplement or waiver.

                  Failure to make the appropriate notation or to issue new Notes
shall not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or
waiver.


SECTION 9.06.     TRUSTEE TO SIGN AMENDMENTS, ETC.

                  The Trustee shall sign any amendment or supplemental Indenture
authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment or supplement does not
adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee.
The Company may not sign an amendment or supplemental Indenture until its Board
of Directors approves it. If it does, the Trustee may, but need not, sign it. In
signing or refusing to sign such amendment or supplemental Indenture, the
Trustee shall be entitled to receive and, subject to Section 7.01 hereof, shall
be fully protected in relying upon, an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of
Counsel as conclusive evidence that such amendment or supplemental Indenture is
authorized or permitted by this Indenture, that it is not inconsistent herewith,
and that it will be valid and binding upon the Company in accordance with its
terms.

shall not affect its sufficiency with respect to other Holders.

<PAGE>

                                 (Back of Note)

               12 1/2% [Series A] [Series B] Senior Notes due 2007

         Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned to them
in the Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated.

         1. INTEREST. Pegasus Communications Corporation, a Delaware corporation
(the "Company"), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note
at 12 1/2% per annum from November 19, 1999 until maturity and shall pay the
Liquidated Damages payable pursuant to Section 5 of the Registration Rights
Agreement referred to below. The Company will pay interest and Liquidated
Damages semi-annually on February 1 and August 1 of each year, or if any such
day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each an
"Interest Payment Date"). Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent
date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the
date of issuance; provided that if there is no existing Default in the payment
of interest, and if this Note is authenticated between a record date referred to
on the face hereof and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest shall
accrue from such next succeeding Interest Payment Date; provided, further, that
the first Interest Payment Date shall be February 1, 2000. The Company shall pay
interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any
Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal and premium, if any, from time to time on
demand at a rate that is 1% per annum in excess of the rate then in effect; it
shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any
Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest and Liquidated Damages
(without regard to any applicable grace periods) from time to time on demand at
the same rate to the extent lawful. Interest will be computed on the basis of a
360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

         2. METHOD OF PAYMENT. The Company will pay interest on the Notes
(except defaulted interest) and Liquidated Damages to the Persons who are
registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on the January 15 or July
15 next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are canceled
after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as
provided in Section 2.12 of the Indenture with respect to defaulted interest.
The Notes will be payable as to principal, premium and Liquidated Damages, if
any, and interest at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such
purpose within or without the City and State of New York, or, at the option of
the Company, payment of interest and Liquidated Damages may be made by check
mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the register of Holders,
and provided that payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds will
be required with respect to principal of and interest, premium and Liquidated
Damages on, all Global Notes and all other Notes the Holders of which shall have
provided wire transfer instructions to the Company or the Paying Agent. Such
payment shall be in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at
the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.

         3. PAYING AGENT AND REGISTRAR. Initially, First Union National Bank,
the Trustee under the Indenture, will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The

<PAGE>

Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder.
The Company may act in any such capacity.

         4. INDENTURE. The Company issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as
of November 19, 1999 (the "Indenture") between the Company and the Trustee. The
terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of
the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (15
U.S. Code ss.ss. 77aaa-77bbbb) (the "TIA"). The Notes are subject to all such
terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of
such terms. The Notes are general obligations of the Company limited to
$155,000,000 in aggregate principal amount.

         5. OPTIONAL REDEMPTION.

         (a) The Notes will not be redeemable at the Company's option prior to
August 1, 2003. The Notes may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at the option of
the Company on or after August 1, 2003, at the redemption prices specified below
(expressed as percentages of the principal amount thereof), in each case,
together with accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages, if any,
thereon to the date of redemption, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days'
notice, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on August 1 of the
years indicated below:


                                                       Redemption
   Year                                                Price
   ----                                                -----
   2003                                                106.250%
   2004                                                104.167%
   2005                                                102.083%
   2006 and thereafter                                 100.000%

         (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to August 1, 2000, the Company
may, on any one or more occasions, use the net proceeds of one or more offerings
of its Capital Stock to redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of
the Notes at a redemption price of 112.500% the principal amount thereof, plus
accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, to the date of
redemption; provided that, after any such redemption, the aggregate principal
amount of the Notes outstanding (excluding Notes held by the Company and its
Subsidiaries) must equal at least 65% of the Notes issued under the Indenture;
and provided further, that any such redemption shall occur within 90 days of the
date of closing of such offering of Capital Stock of the Company.

         6. MANDATORY REDEMPTION. The Company shall not be required to make
mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes.

<PAGE>

         7. REPURCHASE AT OPTION OF HOLDER.

         (a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control the Company shall be
obligated to make an offer (a "Change in Control Offer") to each Holder of Notes
to repurchase all or any part (equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof)
of such Holder's Notes at an offer price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate
principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated
Damages, if any, thereon to the date of purchase (the "Change of Control
Payment"). Within ten days following any Change of Control, the Company shall
mail a notice to each Holder describing the transaction or transactions that
constitute the Change of Control and offering to repurchase Notes pursuant to
the procedures required by the Indenture and described in such notice.

         (b) If the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary consummates any Asset
Sale, within five days of each date on which the aggregate amount of Excess
Proceeds exceeds $10.0 million, the Company shall commence an offer to all
Holders of Notes and the holders of Pari Passu Debt, to the extent required by
the terms thereof (an "Asset Sale Offer") to purchase the maximum principal
amount of Notes and Pari Passu Debt that may be purchased out of the Excess
Proceeds, at an offer price in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal
amount thereof plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated
Damages, if any, to the date of purchase, in accordance with the procedures set
forth in the Indenture or the agreements governing Pari Passu Debt, as
applicable; provided, however, that the Company may only purchase Pari Passu
Debt in an Asset Sale Offer that was issued pursuant to an indenture having a
provision substantially similar to the Asset Sale Offer provision contained in
the Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes and Pari Passu Debt
surrendered exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee shall select the
Notes and Pari Passu Debt to be purchased on a pro rata basis, based upon the
principal amount thereof surrendered in such Asset Sale Offer. Holders of Notes
that are the subject of an offer to purchase will receive an Asset Sale Offer
from the Company prior to any related purchase date and may elect to have such
Notes purchased by completing the form entitled "Option of Holder to Elect
Purchase" on the reverse of the Notes.

         8. NOTICE OF REDEMPTION. Notice of Redemption will be mailed at least
30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder
whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address. Notes in denominations
larger than $1,000 may be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of
$1,000, unless all of the Notes held by a Holder are to be redeemed. On and
after the redemption date interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions thereof
called for redemption.

         9. DENOMINATIONS, TRANSFER, EXCHANGE. The Notes are in registered form
without coupons in all appropriate denominations. The transfer of Notes may be
registered and Notes may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The
Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish
appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and the Company may require a
Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture.
The Company need not transfer or exchange any Note selected for redemption,
except for the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part. Also, it
need not transfer or exchange any Note for a period of 15 Business Days before a

<PAGE>

selection of Notes to be redeemed or during the period between a record date and
the corresponding Interest Payment Date.

         10. PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS. The registered Holder of a Note may be
treated as its owner for all purposes.

         11. AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER. Subject to certain exceptions,
the Indenture, the Notes or the Subsidiary Guarantees may be amended or
supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal
amount of the then outstanding Notes, and any existing default or compliance
with any provision of the Indenture, the Notes or the Subsidiary Guarantees may
be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of
the then outstanding Notes. Without the consent of any Holder of a Note, the
Indenture, the Notes or the Subsidiary Guarantees may be amended or supplemented
to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, to provide for uncertificated
Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes, to provide for the
assumption of the Company's or any Subsidiary Guarantor's obligations to Holders
of the Notes in case of a merger or consolidation, to make any change that would
provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders of the Notes or that
does not adversely affect the legal rights under the Indenture of any such
Holder, or to comply with the requirements of the SEC in order to effect or
maintain the qualification of the Indenture under the TIA or to allow any
Subsidiary Guarantor to guarantee the Notes.

         12. DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES. Each of the following constitutes an Event
of Default: (i) default by the Company in the payment of interest and Liquidated
Damages, if any, on the Notes when the same becomes due and payable and the
Default continues for a period of 30 days; (ii) default by the Company in the
payment of the principal of or premium, if any, on the Notes when the same
becomes due and payable at maturity, upon redemption or otherwise; (3) failure
by the Company or any Subsidiary to comply with Sections 4.07, 4.09, 4.10, 4.15,
or 5.01 of the Indenture; (4) failure by the Company or any Subsidiary for 60
days after notice to comply with any of its other agreements in the Indenture or
the Notes; (5) default under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which
there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any
Indebtedness for money borrowed by the Company or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries (or the payment of which is guaranteed by the Company or any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries), whether such Indebtedness or guarantee now exists, or
shall be created hereafter, which default (a) is caused by a failure to pay
principal of or premium, if any, or interest on such Indebtedness prior to the
expiration of the grace period provided in such Indebtedness on the date of such
default (a "Payment Default") or (b) results in the acceleration of such
Indebtedness prior to its express maturity and, in each case, the principal
amount of such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other
such Indebtedness under which there has been a Payment Default or the maturity
of which has been so accelerated, aggregates $5.0 million or more; (6) a final
judgment or final judgments for the payment of money are entered by a court or
courts of competent jurisdiction against the Company or any Restricted
Subsidiary that would be a Significant Subsidiary and such judgment or judgments
remain unpaid, undischarged or unstayed for a period of 60 days, provided that
the aggregate of all such undischarged judgments exceeds $5.0 million; (7)
certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to the Company, any
Restricted Subsidiary that would constitute a Significant Subsidiary or any
group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a
Significant Subsidiary and (8) the termination of any Subsidiary Guarantee for
any reason not permitted by the Indenture, or the denial by any Subsidiary
Guarantor or any Person acting on behalf of any Subsidiary Guarantor of such
Subsidiary Guarantor's obligations under its respective Subsidiary Guarantee. If
any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at

<PAGE>

least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare all the
Notes to be due and payable immediately. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the
case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or
insolvency with respect to the Company, any Restricted Subsidiary that would
constitute a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries
that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, all outstanding
Notes will become due and payable without further action or notice. Holders of
the Notes may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the
Indenture. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal
amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of
any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders of the Notes notice of
any continuing Default or Event of Default (except a Default or Event of Default
relating to the payment of principal or interest or Liquidated Damages, if any)
if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest. The Holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding by notice
to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive any
existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under the Indenture
except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal,
interest or premium or Liquidated Damages, if any, on the Notes. The Company is
required to deliver to the Trustee annually a statement regarding compliance
with the Indenture, and the Company is required upon becoming aware of any
Default or Event of Default, to deliver to the Trustee a statement specifying
such Default or Event of Default.

         13. TRUSTEE DEALINGS WITH THE COMPANY. The Trustee, in its individual
or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform
services for the Company or its Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the
Company or its Affiliates, as if it were not the Trustee.

         14. NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS. No director, officer, employee,
incorporator or stockholder of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor as such,
shall have any liability for any obligations of the Company or the Subsidiary
Guarantors under the Notes, the Subsidiary Guarantees or the Indenture or for
any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their
creation. Each Holder of Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such
liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issuance
of the Notes.

         15. AUTHENTICATION. This Note shall not be valid until authenticated by
the manual signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent.

         16. ABBREVIATIONS. Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a
Holder or an assignee, such as: TEN COM (= tenants in common), TEN ENT
(= tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (= joint tenants with right of
survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (= Custodian), and U/G/M/A
(= Uniform Gifts to Minors Act).

<PAGE>

         17. CUSIP NUMBERS. Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the
Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Company has caused
CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Notes and the Trustee may use CUSIP numbers
in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders. No representation is made
as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as
contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the
other identification numbers placed thereon.

charge a copy of the Indenture. Requests may be made to:

Subsidiary Guarantor under this Supplemental Indenture and its Subsidiary
Guarantee shall be limited to such amount as will not, after giving effect

such amount constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

         4. EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEES.

            (a) To evidence its Subsidiary Guarantee set forth in this
Supplemental Indenture, the Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees that a notation

be endorsed by an officer of such Subsidiary Guarantor on each Note
authenticated and delivered by the Trustee after the date hereof.

            (c) If an officer whose signature is on this Supplemental Indenture

Trustee authenticates the Note on which a Subsidiary Guarantee is endorsed, the
Subsidiary Guarantee shall be valid nevertheless.

            (d) The delivery of the Note by the Trustee, after the
authentication thereof under the Indenture, shall constitute due delivery of the
Subsidiary Guarantee set forth in this Supplemental Indenture on behalf of the
Subsidiary Guarantor.

            (e) The Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations
hereof shall be unconditional, regardless of the validity, regularity or

enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes with respect
to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the
Company, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might
otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor.

demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or



<PAGE>

discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the
Notes and the Indenture or pursuant to Section 5(b) of this Supplemental
Indenture.

enforce any right or remedy under this Supplemental 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 Subsidiary Guarantor,
the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored severally and respectively to
their former positions hereof and thereafter all rights and remedies of the
Subsidiary Guarantor, the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no
such proceeding had been instituted.

manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any rights of
reimbursement, indemnity or subrogation or any other rights against the Company
or any other Subsidiary Guarantor as a result of any payment by such Subsidiary
Guarantor under its Subsidiary Guarantee. The Subsidiary Guarantor further
agrees that, as between the Subsidiary Guarantors, on the one hand, and the
Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand:

                (i) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be
accelerated as provided in Article Six of the Indenture for the purposes of the
Subsidiary Guarantee made pursuant to this Supplemental Indenture,
notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such
acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby; and

                (ii) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such
obligations as provided in Article Six, such obligations (whether or not due and
payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Subsidiary Guarantor for
the purpose of the Subsidiary Guarantee made pursuant to this Supplemental
Indenture.

            (i) The Subsidiary Guarantor shall have the right to seek
contribution from any other non-paying Subsidiary Guarantor, if any, so long as
the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under the
Subsidiary Guarantee made pursuant to this Supplemental Indenture.

            (j) The Subsidiary Guarantor 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, extension
or usury law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may
affect the covenants or the performance of the Indenture or this Subsidiary
Guarantee; and the Subsidiary Guarantor (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.
