Section 2.01. Form and Dating.

                  (a) The Initial Notes (including Global Notes) and the
Trustee's certificate of authentication shall be substantially in the form of
Exhibit A which is incorporated in and made part of this Indenture. Any Exchange
Notes and the Trustee's certificate of authentication shall be substantially in
the form of Exhibit B, which is incorporated in and expressly made a part of
this Indenture. The Notes may have notations, legends or endorsements required
by law, stock exchange rule or usage. The Company may use "CUSIP" numbers in
issuing the Notes. The Company shall approve the form of the Notes. Each Note
shall be dated the date of its authentication.

                  (b) The terms and provisions contained in the Notes shall
constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this Indenture and, to the
extent applicable, the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee, by their

provisions and to be bound thereby.

                  (c) The Initial Notes issued on the date hereof are being
offered and sold by the Company pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. The Initial
Notes will be offered and sold by the Initial Purchasers only (i) to "qualified
institutional buyers" (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act ("Rule
144A")) ("QIBs") and (ii) in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act
("Regulation S"). After such initial offers and sales, Initial Notes that are
Transfer Restricted Notes may be transferred to, among others, QIBS in reliance
on Regulation S and to institutional "Accredited Investors" (within the meaning
of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act) ("IAIs") in
accordance with certain transfer restrictions. Initial Notes that are offered
and sold in reliance on Rule 144A shall be issued initially in the form of one
or more permanent Global Notes substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A
(collectively, the "QIB Global Note") deposited with the Trustee, as custodian
for the Depository, duly executed by the Company (and the Guarantors will
execute the Guarantees endorsed thereon) and authenticated by the Trustee as
hereinafter provided. Initial Notes that are offered and sold in offshore
transactions in reliance on Regulation S shall be issued initially in the form
of one or more temporary Global Notes substantially in the form set forth in
Exhibit A (collectively, the "Temporary Regulation S Global Note") deposited
with the Trustee, as custodian for the Depository, duly executed by the Company
(and the Guarantors will


<PAGE>
                                      -24-


execute the Guarantees endorsed thereon) and authenticated by the Trustee as
hereinafter provided. At any time on or after February 1, 2003, upon receipt by
the Trustee and the Company of a certificate substantially in the form of
Exhibit E hereto, one or more permanent Global Notes substantially in the form
set forth in Exhibit B (collectively, the "Permanent Regulation S Global Note";
and together with the Temporary Regulation S Global Note, the "Regulation S
Global Note") duly executed by the Company (and the Guarantors will execute the
Guarantees endorsed thereon) and authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter
provided, shall be deposited with the Trustee, as custodian for the Depository.
Initial Notes resold or otherwise transferred to IAIs shall be issued
substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A (collectively, the "IAI Global
Note" and, together with the QIB Global Note, the "U.S. Global Notes"). The QIB
Global Note, the Regulation S Global Note and the IAI Global Note (each a
"Global Note") shall each be issued with separate CUSIP numbers. The aggregate
principal amount of each Global Note may from time to time be increased or
decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Trustee. Transfers of
Initial Notes between QIBs and IAIs and to or by purchasers pursuant to
Regulation S shall be represented by appropriate increases and decreases to the
respective amounts of the appropriate Global Notes, as more fully provided in
Section 2.14.

Section 2.02. Execution and Authentication.

                  The Notes shall be executed on behalf of the Company by two
Officers of the Company or an Officer and an Assistant Secretary of the Company
and the Guarantees shall be executed on behalf of the Guarantors by two Officers
of each of the Guarantors or an Officer and an Assistant Secretary of each of
the Guarantors.

                  Such signature may be either manual or facsimile. The
Company's seal may be impressed, affixed, imprinted or reproduced on the Notes
and may be in facsimile form.

                  If an Officer whose signature is on a Note no longer holds
that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note, the Note shall be
valid nevertheless.

                  A Note shall not be valid until the Trustee manually signs the
certificate of authentication on the Note. Such signature shall be conclusive
evidence that the Note has been authenticated under this Indenture.

                  The Trustee or an authenticating agent shall authenticate (i)
Initial Notes for original issue in the aggregate principal amount not to exceed
$260,000,000, (ii) Additional Notes in an unlimited principal amount (so long as
permitted by the terms of this Indenture, including, without limitation, Section
4.10) and (iii) Exchange Notes (x) in exchange for a like principal amount of
Initial Notes or (y) in exchange for a like principal amount of Additional
Notes, in each case upon a Company Request. With respect to a Company Request
for authentication pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) of the first sentence of
this paragraph, the first


<PAGE>
                                      -25-


such written order from the Company shall be accompanied by an Opinion of
Counsel of the Company in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee. The
Notes shall be issuable only in registered form without coupons and only in
denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof.

                  The Company Request directing the authentication and delivery
of Notes shall specify whether such Notes shall be issued in the form of
definitive Notes or Global Notes. Such Company Request shall specify the amount
of the Notes to be authenticated, the date on which the original issue of the
Notes is to be authenticated and whether the Notes are to be Initial Notes or
Exchange Notes. If the Company Request specifies that the Notes are to be issued
in the form of one or more Global Notes, then the Company shall execute (and the
Guarantors will execute the Guarantees endorsed thereon) and the Trustee shall,
in accordance with this Section and such Company Request, authenticate and
deliver one or more Global Notes in definitive form that:

                  (a) shall be registered in the name of the Depository or a
         nominee of such Depository,

                  (b) shall, at the instruction of the Company, be delivered by
         the Trustee to the Depository or held by the Trustee as custodian for
         the Depository, and

                  (c) shall include and bear a legend substantially to the
         effect that unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for
         definitive Notes, such Global Notes may not be transferred except as a
         whole by the Depository to a nominee of the Depository or by a nominee
         of the Depository to the Depository or another nominee of the
         Depository or by the Depository or any such nominee to a successor
         Depository or a nominee of such successor Depository.

                  The Depository must, at the time of its designation and at all
times when it serves as Depository, be a clearing agency registered under the
Exchange Act and any other applicable statute or regulation.

                  The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent reasonably
acceptable to the Company to authenticate Notes. An authenticating agent may
authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Any appointment shall be
evidenced by instrument signed by an authorized officer of the Trustee, a copy
of which shall be furnished to the Company. Each reference in this Indenture to
authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An
authenticating agent has the same right as an Agent to deal with the Company or
an Affiliate of the Company.

Section 2.03.       Registrar and Paying Agent.

                  The Company shall maintain an office or agency where Notes may
be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange ("Registrar"), an
office or agency located in the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York, State of
New York where Notes may be presented for payment ("Paying Agent") and an office
or agency where notices and demands to or upon the Company or any Guarantor in
respect of the Notes, Guarantees and this Indenture may be served. The Registrar
shall keep a register of the Notes and of their transfer and exchange. The
Company may have one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying
agents. Neither the Company nor any Affiliate of the Company may act as Paying
Agent. The Company may change any Paying Agent, Registrar or co-registrar
without notice to any Noteholder.

                  The Company shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement
with any Registrar or Paying Agent not a party to this Indenture. The agreement
shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such Agent. The
Company shall notify the Trustee of the name and address of any such Agent. If
the Company fails to maintain a Registrar or Paying Agent, or agent for service
of notices and demands, or fails to give the foregoing notice, the Trustee shall
act as such. The Company initially appoints the Trustee as Registrar, Paying
Agent and agent for service of notices and demands in connection with the Notes
and the office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan for purposes of this
Section 2.03 and 4.09 shall initially be:

                           Wachovia Bank of Delaware, National Association
                           1 Penn Plaza, Suite 1414
                           New York, New York 10119

Section 2.04. Paying Agent To Hold Assets in Trust.

                  The Trustee as Paying Agent shall, and the Company shall
require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that,
subject to Articles 10 and 11, each Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the
benefit of the Holders or the Trustee all assets held by the Paying Agent for
the payment of principal of, or interest on, the Notes (whether such assets have
been distributed to it by the Company or any other obligor on the Notes), and
the Company and the Paying Agent shall notify the Trustee in writing of any
Default by the Company (or any other obligor on the Notes) in making any such
payment. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to distribute all
assets held by it to the Trustee and account for any assets disbursed and the
Trustee may at any time during the continuance of any payment default with
respect to the Notes, upon written request to a Paying Agent, require such
Paying Agent to distribute all assets held by it to the Trustee and to account
for any assets distributed. Upon distribution to the Trustee of all assets that
shall have been delivered by the Company to the Paying Agent, the Paying Agent
shall have no further liability for such assets.

Section 2.05. Noteholder Lists.

                  The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is
reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and
addresses of Noteholders. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company shall
furnish to the Trustee as of each Record Date and on or before each related
Interest Payment Date, and at such other times as the Trustee may request in
writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably
require of the names and addresses of Noteholders.

Section 2.06. Transfer and Exchange.

                  Subject to the provisions of this Section 2.06, when a Note is
presented to the Registrar with a request to register the transfer thereof, the
Registrar shall register the transfer as requested if the requirements of
applicable law are met and, when Notes are presented to the Registrar with a
request to exchange them for an equal principal amount of Notes of other
authorized denominations, the Registrar shall make the exchange as requested. To
permit transfers and exchanges, upon surrender of any Note for registration of
transfer at the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 2.03 hereof,
subject to the provisions of this Section 2.06, the Company shall execute (and
the Guarantors will execute the Guarantees endorsed thereon) and the Trustee
shall authenticate Notes at the Registrar's request.

                  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.06,
unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for definitive Notes, a
Global Note may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depository to a
nominee of such Depository or by a nominee of such Depository to such Depository
or another nominee of such Depository or by such Depository or any such nominee
to a successor Depository or a nominee of such successor Depository.

                  If (i) the Depository is at any time unwilling, unable or
ineligible to continue as Depository or ceases to be registered as a clearing
agency under the Exchange Act and a successor Depository is not appointed by the
Company within 90 days of the date the Company is so informed in writing or
becomes aware of the same, (ii) the Company, in its sole discretion, so
determines, or (iii) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the
Company promptly will execute (and the Guarantors will execute the Guarantees
endorsed thereon) and deliver to the Trustee definitive Notes, and the Trustee,
upon receipt of a Company Request for the authentication and delivery of such
definitive Notes (which the Company will promptly execute and deliver to the
Trustee), will authenticate and deliver definitive Notes, without charge, in an
aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the outstanding
Global Notes, in exchange for and upon surrender of all such Global Notes.

                  In any exchange provided for in the preceding paragraph, the
Company will execute (and the Guarantors will execute the Guarantees endorsed
thereon) and the Trustee


<PAGE>
                                      -28-


will authenticate and deliver definitive Notes in the authorized denominations
provided by Section 2.01.

                  Upon the exchange of a Global Note for definitive Notes, such
Global Note shall be canceled by the Trustee. Definitive Notes issued in
exchange for Global Notes pursuant to this Section 2.06 shall be registered in
such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depository, pursuant to
instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall
instruct the Trustee.

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

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

                  Any exchange or transfer shall be without charge, except that
the Company may require payment by the Holder of a sum sufficient to cover any
tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation to a transfer
or exchange, but this provision shall not apply to any exchange pursuant to
Section 2.09, 3.06, 4.14, 4.20 or 8.05 hereof. The Trustee shall not be required
to register transfers of Notes or to exchange Notes for a period of 15 days
before selection of any Notes to be redeemed. The Trustee shall not be required
to exchange or register transfers of any Notes called or being called for
redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being
redeemed in part.

Section 2.07. Replacement Notes.

                  If a mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee or if the
Holder of a Note presents evidence to the satisfaction of the Company and the
Trustee that the Note has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Company
shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Note if the
Trustee's requirements are met. An indemnity bond may be required by the Company
or the Trustee that is sufficient in the judgment of the Company and the Trustee
to protect the Company, the Trustee or any Agent from any loss which any of them
may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Company may charge such Holder for its
reasonable, out-of-pocket expenses in replacing a Note, including reasonable
fees and expenses of counsel. Every replacement Note is an additional obligation
of the Company.

Section 2.08. Outstanding Notes.

                  Notes outstanding at any time are all Notes authenticated by
the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for
cancellation, and those described in this Section 2.08 as not outstanding.

                  If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07 (other than a
mutilated Note surrendered for replacement), it ceases to be outstanding until
the Company and the Trustee receive proof satisfactory to each of them that the
replaced Note is held by a bona fide purchaser. A mutilated Note ceases to be
outstanding upon surrender of such Note and replacement thereof pursuant to
Section 2.07.

                  If a Paying Agent holds on a Redemption Date or Maturity Date
money sufficient to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued interest
on Notes payable on that date and is not prohibited from paying such money to
the Holders thereof pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, then on and after
that date such Notes cease to be outstanding and interest on them ceases to
accrue.

                  Subject to Section 12.06, a Note does not cease to be
outstanding solely because the Company or an Affiliate holds the Note.

Section 2.09. Temporary Notes.

                  Until definitive Notes are ready for delivery, the Company may
prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes
shall be substantially in the form, and shall carry all rights, of definitive
Notes but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for
temporary Notes. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the
Trustee shall authenticate definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes
presented to it.

Section 2.10. Cancellation.

                  The Company at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for
cancellation. The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee
any Notes surrendered to them for transfer, exchange or payment. At the
direction of the Trustee, the Registrar or the Paying Agent, and no one else,
shall cancel and at the written request of the Company, shall dispose of all
Notes surrendered for transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation. If the
Company or any Guarantor shall acquire any of the Notes, such acquisition shall
not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the Indebtedness represented by
such Notes unless and until the same are surrendered to the Trustee for
cancellation pursuant to this Section 2.10.

Section 2.11. Defaulted Interest.

                  If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes,
it shall pay the defaulted amounts, plus any interest payable on defaulted
amounts pursuant to Section 4.01 hereof, to the persons who are Noteholders on a
subsequent special record date, which date shall be the fifteenth day next
preceding the date fixed by the Company for the payment of defaulted interest or
the next succeeding Business Day if such date is not a Business Day. At least 15
days before the special record date, the Company shall mail or cause to be
mailed to each Noteholder, with a copy to the Trustee, a notice that states the
special record date, the payment date, and the amount of defaulted interest, and
interest payable on such defaulted interest, if any, to be paid.

Section 2.12. Deposit of Moneys.

                  Prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on each Interest
Payment Date and on the Maturity Date, the Company shall have deposited with the
Paying Agent in immediately available funds money sufficient to make cash
payments, if any, due on such Interest Payment Date or on the Maturity Date, as
the case may be, in a timely manner which permits the Trustee to remit payment
to the Holders on such Interest Payment Date or on the Maturity Date, as the
case may be.

Section 2.13. CUSIP Number.

                  The Company in issuing the Notes may use one or more "CUSIP"
numbers, and if so, the Trustee shall use the CUSIP number(s) in notices of
redemption or exchange as a convenience to Holders, provided that any such
notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness or
accuracy of the CUSIP number(s) printed in the notice or on the Notes, and that
reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the
Notes.

Section 2.14. Book-Entry Provisions for Global Notes.

                  (a) Each Global Note initially shall (i) be registered in the
name of the Depository for such Global Note or the nominee of such Depository
and (ii) be delivered to the Trustee as custodian for such Depository.

                  Members of, or participants in, the Depository ("Agent
Members") shall have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global
Note held on their behalf by the Depository, or the Trustee as its custodian, or
under such Global Note, and the Depository may be treated by the Company, the
Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the absolute owner of
such Global Note for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
nothing herein shall prevent the Trustee or the Company from giving effect to
any


<PAGE>
                                      -31-


written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depository
or shall impair, as between the Depository and its Agent Members, the operation
of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a Holder of any
Note.

                  (b) Transfers of a Global Note shall be limited to transfers
of such Global Note in whole, but not in part, to the Depository, its successors
or their respective nominees. Interests of beneficial owners in a Global Note
may be transferred in accordance with the rules and procedures of the Depository
and the provisions of Section 2.15. If required to do so pursuant to any
applicable law or regulation, beneficial owners may obtain definitive Notes in
exchange for their beneficial interests in a Global Note upon written request in
accordance with the Depository's and the Registrar's procedures.

                  (c) In connection with any transfer of a portion of the
beneficial interest in a Global Note pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section
2.14 to beneficial owners identified by the Depository who are required to hold
definitive Notes, the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date
and a decrease in the principal amount of such Global Note in an amount equal to
the principal amount of the beneficial interest in the Global Note to be
transferred, and the Company shall execute (and the Guarantors will execute the
Guarantees endorsed thereon), and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver,
one or more definitive Notes of like tenor and amount.

                  (d) In connection with the transfer of an entire Global Note
to beneficial owners pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section 2.14, such
Global Note shall be deemed to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation,
and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver
(and the Guarantors will execute the Guarantees endorsed thereon), to each
beneficial owner identified by the Depository in exchange for its beneficial
interest in such Global Note, an equal aggregate principal amount of definitive
Notes of authorized denominations.

                  (e) Any definitive Note delivered in exchange for an interest
in a Global Note pursuant to subsection (c) or subsection (d) of this Section
2.14 shall, except as otherwise provided by paragraph (d) of Section 2.15, bear
the Private Placement Legend.

                  (f) The registered holder of a Global Note may grant proxies
and otherwise authorize any person, including Agent Members and persons that may
hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action that a Holder is
entitled to take under this Indenture or the Notes.

                           (i) The Registrar shall register the transfer of such
                  Transfer Restricted Note if (x) the requested transfer is
                  after the date that is two years after the later of the date
                  of issuance of such Transfer Restricted Note and the last date
                  on which the Company or any of its Affiliates was the owner of
                  such Transfer Restricted Note (such later date, the "Resale
                  Restriction Termination Date") or (y) the proposed transferee
                  has delivered to the Registrar a certificate substantially in
                  the form set forth in Exhibit C.

                          (ii) If the proposed transferee is an Agent Member,

                  Regulation S Global Note, upon receipt by the Registrar of (x)
                  the document, if any, required by paragraph (i) and (y)
                  instructions given in accordance with the Depository's and the
                  Registrar's procedures therefor, the Registrar shall reflect
                  on its books and records the transfer date and an increase in
                  the principal amount of the IAI Global Note in an amount equal
                  to (x) the principal amount of the definitive Notes to be
                  transferred, and the Trustee shall cancel the definitive Note
                  so transferred or (y) the amount of the beneficial interest in
                  the QIB Global Note or the Regulation S Global Note to be so
                  transferred (in which case the Registrar shall reflect on its
                  books and records the date and an appropriate decrease in the
                  principal amount of the QIB Global Note or Regulation S Global
                  Note).

                         (iii) If the proposed transferee is entitled to receive
                  a definitive Note as provided in Section 2.14 and the proposed
                  transferor is an Agent Member holding a beneficial interest in
                  a Global Note, upon receipt by the Registrar of (x) the
                  documents, if any, required by paragraph (i) and (y)
                  instructions given in accordance with the Depository's and the
                  Registrar's procedures therefor, the Registrar shall reflect
                  on its books and records the date and a decrease in the
                  principal amount of such Global Note in an amount equal to the
                  principal amount of the beneficial interest in such Global
                  Note to be transferred, and the Company shall execute (and the
                  Guarantors will execute the Guarantees


<PAGE>
                                      -33-


                  endorsed thereon), and the Trustee shall authenticate and
                  deliver, one or more definitive Notes of like tenor and
                  amount.

                          (iv) If the Initial Note to be transferred consists of
                  definitive Notes and the proposed transferee is entitled to
                  receive a definitive Note as provided in Section 2.14, upon
                  receipt by the Registrar of the document, if any, required by
                  paragraph (i), the Registrar shall register such transfer and
                  the Company shall execute (and the Guarantors will execute the
                  Guarantees endorsed thereon), and the Trustee shall
                  authenticate and deliver, one or more definitive Notes of like
                  tenor and amount.

                  (b) Transfers to QIBs. The following provisions shall apply
         with respect to the registration of any proposed transfer of a Transfer
         Restricted Note to a QIB (other than pursuant to Regulation S):

                           (i) If the Note to be transferred consists of
                  definitive Notes or an interest in the IAI Global Note or a
                  Regulation S Global Note, the Registrar shall register the
                  transfer if such transfer is being made by a proposed
                  transferor who has provided the Registrar with a certificate
                  substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit D hereto.

                          (ii) If the proposed transferee is an Agent Member,
                  and the Initial Note to be transferred consists of definitive
                  Notes or an interest in the IAI Global Note or the Regulation
                  S Global Note, upon receipt by the Registrar of (x) the
                  document, if any, required by paragraph (i) and (y)
                  instructions given in accordance with the Depository's and the
                  Registrar's procedures therefor, the Registrar shall reflect
                  on its books and records the date and an increase in the
                  principal amount of the QIB Global Note in an amount equal to
                  (x) the principal amount of the definitive Notes, to be
                  transferred, and the Trustee shall cancel the definitive Note
                  so transferred or (y) the amount of the beneficial interest in
                  the IAI Global Note or the Regulation S Global Note to be so
                  transferred (in which case the Registrar shall reflect on its
                  books and records the date and an appropriate decrease in the
                  principal amount of the IAI Global Note or the Regulation S
                  Global Note).

                         (iii) If the proposed transferee is entitled to receive
                  a definitive Note as provided in Section 2.14 and the proposed

                  principal


<PAGE>
                                      -34-


                  amount of the beneficial interest in such Global Note to be
                  transferred, and the Company shall execute (and the Guarantors
                  will execute the Guarantees endorsed thereon), and the Trustee
                  shall authenticate and deliver, one or more definitive Notes
                  of like tenor and amount.

                          (iv) If the Initial Note to be transferred consists of
                  definitive Notes and the proposed transferee is entitled to
                  receive a definitive Note as provided in Section 2.14, upon
                  receipt by the Registrar of the document, if any, required by
                  paragraph (i), the Registrar shall register such transfer and
                  the Company shall execute (and the Guarantors will execute the
                  Guarantees thereon), and the Trustee shall authenticate and
                  deliver, one or more definitive Notes of like tenor and
                  amount.

                  (c) Transfers Pursuant to Regulation S. The following
         provisions shall apply with respect to any transfer of an Initial Note
         pursuant to Regulation S:

                           (i) The Registrar shall register any proposed
                  transfer of an Initial Note to a Non-U.S. Person upon receipt
                  of a certificate substantially in the form set forth in
                  Exhibit E from the proposed transferor and the Company shall
                  execute (and the Guarantors will execute the Guarantees
                  endorsed thereon), and the Trustee shall authenticate and make
                  available for delivery, one or more definitive Notes.

                          (ii) If the proposed transferor is an Agent Member
                  holding a beneficial interest in a Global Note, upon receipt
                  by the Registrar of (x) the document required by paragraph
                  (i), and (y) instructions in accordance with the Depository's
                  and the Registrar's procedures therefor, the Registrar shall
                  reflect on its books and records the date and a decrease in
                  the principal amount equal to the principal amount of the
                  beneficial interest in the Global Note to be transferred and
                  the Company shall execute (and the Guarantors will execute the
                  Guarantees endorsed thereon), and the Trustee shall
                  authenticate and deliver, one or more definitive Notes of like
                  tenor and amount.

                  (d) Private Placement Legend. Upon the transfer, exchange or
         replacement of Notes not bearing the Private Placement Legend, the
         Registrar shall deliver Notes that do not bear the Private Placement
         Legend. Upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Notes bearing the
         Private Placement Legend, the Registrar shall deliver only Notes that
         bear the Private Placement Legend unless either (i) such transfer,
         exchange or replacement of such Notes occurs after the Resale
         Restriction Termination Date (which date shall be set forth in an
         Officers' Certificate of the Company delivered to the Trustee) or (ii)
         there is delivered to the Registrar an Opinion of Counsel reasonably
         satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee to the effect that neither
         such


<PAGE>
                                      -35-


         legend nor the related restrictions on transfer are required in order
         to maintain compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act.

                  (e) General. By its acceptance of any Note bearing the Private
         Placement Legend, each Holder of such a Note acknowledges the
         restrictions on transfer of such Note set forth in this Indenture and
         in the Private Placement Legend and agrees that it will transfer such
         Note only as provided in this Indenture.

                  The Registrar shall retain copies of all letters, notices and
other written communications received pursuant to Section 2.14 or this Section
2.15. The Company shall have the right to inspect and make copies of all such
letters, notices or other written communications at any reasonable time upon the
giving of reasonable written notice to the Registrar.

                                    ARTICLE 3

                                   REDEMPTION

Section 3.01. Notices to Trustee.

                  If the Company elects to redeem Notes pursuant to Paragraph 6
of the Notes, it shall notify the Trustee in writing of the Redemption Date and
the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed at least 30 days (unless a shorter
notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee) but not more than 60 days before
the Redemption Date. Any such notice may be canceled in writing at any time
prior to notice of such redemption being mailed to any Holder and shall thereby
be void and of no effect.

Section 3.02. Selection by Trustee of Notes To Be Redeemed.

                  If fewer than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, the Trustee
shall select the Notes to be redeemed pro rata, by lot or by any other method
that the Trustee considers fair and appropriate and, if such Notes are listed on
any securities exchange, by a method that complies with the requirements of such
exchange; provided, however, that if a partial redemption is made with the
proceeds of a Public Equity Offering, selection of Notes for redemption shall be
made on a pro rata basis, unless such method is otherwise prohibited.

                  The Trustee shall make the selection from the Notes
outstanding and not previously called for redemption and 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 in denominations of $1,000 may be redeemed only in whole. The
Trustee may select for redemption portions (equal to $1,000 or integral
multiples thereof) of the principal amount of Notes that have denominations
larger than


<PAGE>
                                      -36-


$1,000. 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.

                  At least 30 days, and no more than 60 days, before a
Redemption Date, the Company shall mail, or cause to be mailed, a notice of
redemption by first-class mail to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at his or
her last address as the same appears on the registry books maintained by the
Registrar pursuant to Section 2.03 hereof.

                  The notice shall identify the Notes to be redeemed (including
the CUSIP number(s) thereof, if any) and shall state:

                  (1) the Redemption Date;

                  (2) the redemption price;

                  (3) 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 and upon surrender of such Note, a new Note or Notes in
         principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion will be issued;

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

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

                  (6) that, unless (a) the Company defaults in making the
         redemption payment or (b) such redemption payment is prohibited
         pursuant to Article 10 or 11 hereof or otherwise, interest on the Notes
         called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the Redemption
         Date, and the only remaining right of the Holders of such Notes is to
         receive payment of the redemption price upon surrender to the Paying
         Agent of the Notes redeemed;

                  (7) the paragraph of the Notes pursuant to which the Notes
         called for redemption are being redeemed; and

                  (8) if fewer than all the Notes are to be redeemed, the
         identification of the particular Notes (or portion thereof) to be
         redeemed, as well as the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be
         redeemed and the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be outstanding
         after such partial redemption.


<PAGE>
                                      -37-


                  At the Company's written request, the Trustee shall give the
notice of redemption in the Company's name and at the Company's sole expense.

Section 3.04. Effect of Notice of Redemption.

                  Once the notice of redemption described in Section 3.03 is
mailed, Notes called for redemption become due and payable on the Redemption
Date and at the redemption price, plus interest, if any, accrued to (but not
including) the Redemption Date. Upon surrender to the Trustee or Paying Agent,
such Notes shall be paid at the redemption price, plus accrued interest, if any,
to (but not including) the Redemption Date unless prohibited by Article 10 or
11, provided that if the Redemption Date is after a regular interest payment
record date and on or prior to the next Interest Payment Date, the accrued
interest shall be payable to the Holder of the redeemed Notes registered on the
relevant record date.

Section 3.05. Deposit of Redemption Price.

                  On or prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on each
Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent in immediately
available funds money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued
interest, if any, on all Notes to be redeemed on that date other than Notes or
portions thereof called for redemption on that date which have been delivered by
the Company to the Trustee for cancellation.

                  On and after any Redemption Date, if money sufficient to pay
the redemption price of and accrued interest on Notes called for redemption
shall have been made available in accordance with the preceding paragraph and
the Company and the Paying Agent are not prohibited from paying such moneys to
Holders, the Notes called for redemption will cease to accrue interest and the
only right of the Holders of such Notes will be to receive payment of the
redemption price of and, subject to the proviso in Section 3.04, accrued and
unpaid interest on such Notes to the Redemption Date. If any Note called for
redemption shall not be so paid, interest will be paid, from the Redemption Date
until such redemption payment is made, on the unpaid principal of the Note and
any interest not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case, at the rate and in
the manner provided in the Notes.

Section 3.06. Notes Redeemed in Part.

                  Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed in part, the Trustee
shall authenticate for a Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to the
unredeemed portion of the Note surrendered.

year-end financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 4.02 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 which would lead them to believe that the
Company has violated any provisions of this Article 4 or Article 5 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 for any failure to obtain knowledge of any such violation.

                  (c) (i) If any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing or (ii) if any Holder seeks to exercise any remedy hereunder with

upon it or any of its Subsidiaries or properties of it or any of its
Subsidiaries and (ii) all lawful claims for labor, materials and supplies that,
if unpaid, might by law become a Lien upon the property of it or any of its

Section 4.06. Maintenance of Properties and Insurance.

                  (a) The Company shall cause all properties used in, or useful

with all necessary equipment and shall cause to be made all necessary repairs,
renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements thereof, all as in its
judgment may be necessary, so that the business carried on in connection
therewith may be properly and advantageously conducted at all times unless the
failure to so maintain such properties (together with all other such failures)
would not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition or results
of operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole; provided,
however, that nothing in this Section 4.06 shall prevent the Company or any
Subsidiary from discontinuing the operation or maintenance of any of such
properties, or disposing of any of them, if such discontinuance or disposal is
in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company or the
Subsidiary concerned, as the case may be, desirable in the conduct of the
business of the Company or such Subsidiary, as the case may be, and is not
disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders.

                  (b) The Company shall provide or cause to be provided, for
itself and each of its Restricted Subsidiaries, insurance (including appropriate
self-insurance) against loss or damage of the kinds that, in the reasonable,
good faith opinion of the Company are adequate and appropriate for the conduct
of the business of the Company and such Restricted Subsidiaries in a prudent
manner, with reputable insurers or with the government of the United States of
America or an agency or instrumentality thereof, in such amounts, with such
deductibles, and by such methods as shall be customary, in the good faith
judgment of the Company, for corporations similarly situated in the industry,

failures) would not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition or
results of operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

Section 4.07. Compliance with Laws.

                  The Company shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries
to, comply with all applicable statutes, rules, regulations, orders and

as a whole.

its corporate existence, and the corporate, partnership or other existence of
each Restricted Subsidiary, in accordance with the respective organizational
documents (as the same may be amended from time to time) of the Company and of
each Restricted Subsidiary and the rights (charter and statutory), licenses and
franchises of the Company and its Restricted 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.

Section 4.09. Maintenance of Office or Agency.

                  The Company shall maintain an office or agency where Notes may
be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange or for presentation for
payment 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 location, and any change in the location, of such
office or agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such
required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address
thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or
served at the address of the Trustee as set forth in Section 12.02.

                  The Company may also from time to time designate one or more

Company or a Wholly-Owned Restricted Subsidiary of the Company) to own any

         Indebtedness (other than Permitted Indebtedness) under Section 4.10;
         and

                  (c) immediately after giving effect to such Restricted
         Payment, the aggregate of all Restricted Payments declared or made
         after the Issue Date does not exceed the sum of (1) 100% of the
         Company's Cumulative EBITDA minus 1.4 times the Company's Cumulative
         Consolidated Interest Expense, plus (2) 100% of the aggregate Net
         Proceeds and the fair market value of securities or other property

         valued in each case at the fair market value thereof, not to exceed the
         amount of Investments previously made by the Company and its Restricted
         Subsidiaries in such Person. For purposes of determining under this
         clause (c) the amount expended for Restricted Payments, cash

         other than cash shall be valued at its fair market value as determined
         by the Board of Directors of the Company reasonably and in good faith.

                  The provisions of this Section 4.12 shall not prohibit (i) the

paragraph, amounts expended pursuant to clause (i) and this clause (v) shall be
included in the calculation, (vi) the payment of any dividend or the making of
any distribution to Parent in amounts sufficient to permit Parent to pay

be, and (ii) senior in right of payment to the Notes or any of the Guarantees,
as the case may be.

Section 4.14. Limitation on Certain Asset Sales.

                  (a) The Company will not, and will not permit any of the
Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale unless (i) the Company or

evidenced by a Board Resolution); (ii) not less than 75% of the consideration
received by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, is in

are assumed by the transferee of such assets and for which the Company and its
Restricted Subsidiaries are released, including any such Indebtedness of a

Subsidiary will not be required to comply with this clause (ii) with respect to
a Permitted Asset Swap; and (iii) the Asset Sale Proceeds received by the
Company or such Restricted Subsidiary are applied (a) first, to the extent the
Company elects, or is required, to permanently prepay, repay or purchase
existing Senior Indebtedness (or Purchase Money Indebtedness that ranks pari
passu in right of payment with the Notes solely to the extent that such Asset
Sale involves property or assets securing such Purchase Money Indebtedness
pursuant to a Lien granted pursuant to clause (v) of the definition of Permitted
Liens) within 270 days following the receipt of the Asset Sale Proceeds from any
Asset Sale; provided, however, that any such repayment shall result in a
permanent reduction of the commitments thereunder in an amount equal to the
principal amount so repaid; (b) second, to the extent of the balance of Asset
Sale Proceeds after application as described above, to the extent the Company
elects, to an investment in assets (including Capital Stock or other securities
purchased in connection with the acquisition of Capital Stock or property of
another


<PAGE>
                                      -46-


Person) used or useful in businesses similar or ancillary to the business of the
Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries as conducted at the time of such Asset
Sale, provided, however, that such investment occurs and such Asset Sale
Proceeds are so applied within 270 days following the receipt of such Asset Sale
Proceeds (the "Reinvestment Date"); and (c) third, if on the Reinvestment Date
with respect to any Asset Sale, the Available Asset Sale Proceeds exceed $15
million, the Company shall apply an amount equal to such Available Asset Sale
Proceeds to an offer to repurchase the Notes, at a purchase price in cash equal
to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if
any, to the date of repurchase (an "Excess Proceeds Offer"); provided, however,
that the Company may, at the time that it makes any such Excess Proceeds Offer,
also offer to purchase, at a price in cash equal to 100% of the outstanding
principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the
purchase date, any Indebtedness which ranks pari passu in right of payment to
the Notes (a "Pari Passu Excess Proceeds Offer") and to the extent the Company
so elects to make a Pari Passu Excess Proceeds Offer, Notes and such pari passu
Indebtedness shall be purchased pursuant to such Excess Proceeds Offer and Pari
Passu Excess Proceeds Offer, respectively, on a pro rata basis based on the
aggregate principal amount of such Notes and pari passu Indebtedness then
outstanding. To the extent that the aggregate principal amount of Notes tendered
pursuant to an Excess Proceeds Offer is less than the Available Asset Sale
Proceeds, the Company may use such deficiency for general corporate purposes. To
the extent that the aggregate principal amount of pari passu Indebtedness
tendered pursuant to a Pari Passu Excess Proceeds Offer is less than such pari
passu Indebtedness's pro rata share of such Available Asset Sale Proceeds, the
Company shall use such remaining Available Asset Sale Proceeds to purchase any
Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to such Excess Proceeds Offer.
If the aggregate principal amount of Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn by
holders thereof exceeds the Available Asset Sale Proceeds or to the extent the
Company elects to make a Pari Passu Excess Proceeds Offer, exceeds the Notes'
pro rata share of such Available Asset Sale Proceeds, then Notes to be purchased
will be selected on a pro rata basis. Upon completion of such Excess Proceeds
Offer, the amount of Available Asset Sale Proceeds shall be reset to zero.

                  (b) If the Company is required to make an Excess Proceeds
Offer, the Company shall mail, within 30 days following the Reinvestment Date, a
notice to the Holders with a copy to the Trustee which shall include, among

                  (10) that, if the aggregate principal amount of Notes
         surrendered by Holders exceeds the Available Asset Sale Proceeds or to

         Offer, the Notes' pro rata share of such Available Asset Sale Proceeds,
         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

Holder an amount equal to the purchase price of the Note tendered by such Holder
and accepted by the Company for purchase, and the Company shall promptly issue a
new Note, and the Trustee shall authenticate and mail or make available for
delivery such new Note to such Holder equal in principal amount to any
unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered. Any Note not so accepted shall be

Section 4.15. Limitation on Transactions with Affiliates.

                  (a) The Company will not, and will not permit any of the
Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, enter into or suffer to
exist any transaction or series of related transactions (including, without
limitation, the sale, purchase, exchange or lease of assets, property or
services) with any Affiliate (including entities in which the Company or any of
the Restricted Subsidiaries owns a minority interest) or holder of 10% or more
of Parent's Common Stock (each of the foregoing, an "Affiliate Transaction") or
extend, renew, waive or otherwise modify the terms of any Affiliate Transaction
entered into prior to the Issue Date unless the terms of such Affiliate
Transaction are fair and reasonable to the Company or such Restricted
Subsidiary, as the case may be, and the terms of such Affiliate Transaction are
at least as favorable as the terms which could be obtained by the Company or
such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, in a comparable transaction made
on an arm's-length basis between unaffiliated parties. In any Affiliate
Transaction involving an amount or having a value in excess of $2 million, the
Company must obtain a Board Resolution approved by a majority of the members of
the Board of Directors of the Company (and a majority of the disinterested
members of the Board of Directors of the Company) certifying that such Affiliate
Transaction complies with this Section 4.15. In any Affiliate Transaction (other
than a


<PAGE>
                                      -49-


transaction or series of related transactions between the Company or any of the
Restricted Subsidiaries and Interstate Highway Signs Corp. providing for the
purchase of highway signage) with a value in excess of $10 million, the Company
must obtain a written opinion that such Affiliate Transaction complies with this
Section 4.15 from an independent investment banking firm of nationally
recognized standing.

                  (b) The foregoing provisions will not apply to (i) any
Restricted Payment that is not prohibited by Section 4.12, (ii) any transaction
between the Company and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or between Restricted
Subsidiaries, or (iii) the payment of reasonable and customary regular fees to
directors of the Company who are not employees of the Company and any employment
and consulting agreements entered into by the Company or any Restricted
Subsidiary with their executives or consultants in the ordinary course of
business.

Section 4.16. Limitations on Liens.

                  The Company will not, and will not permit any of the
Restricted Subsidiaries to, create, incur or otherwise cause or suffer to exist
or become effective any Liens of any kind (other than Permitted Liens) upon any
Property, assets, income or profits of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary
or any shares of stock or debt of any Restricted Subsidiary (whether or not any
of the foregoing is now owned or hereafter acquired), unless (i) if such Lien
secures Indebtedness which is pari passu in right of payment with the Notes,
then the Notes are secured on an equal and ratable basis with the obligations so
secured until such time as such obligation is no longer secured by a Lien or
(ii) if such Lien secures Indebtedness which is subordinated in right of payment
to the Notes, any such Lien shall be subordinated to the Lien granted to the
Holders of the Notes in the same collateral as that securing such Lien to the
same extent as such subordinated Indebtedness is subordinated to the Notes.

Section 4.17. Limitation on Dividends and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting
              Subsidiaries.

                  The Company will not, and will not permit any of the
Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create or otherwise cause or
suffer to exist or become effective any encumbrance or restriction of any kind
on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to (a) pay dividends or make any
other distributions to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary on its Capital
Stock, (b) pay any Indebtedness owed to the Company or any Restricted
Subsidiary, (c) make loans or advances to the Company or any Restricted
Subsidiary, (d) transfer any of its properties or assets to the Company or any
Restricted Subsidiary, (e) grant Liens on or security interests on the assets of
the Company or the Restricted Subsidiaries in favor of the Holders of the Notes,
or (f) guarantee the Notes or any renewals or refinancings thereof, in each
case, except for Permitted Dividend Encumbrances.

Section 4.18. Guarantees of Certain Indebtedness.

                  The Company will not permit any of the Restricted Subsidiaries
(other than the Guarantors) to (a) incur, guarantee or secure through the
granting of Liens the payment of any Indebtedness of the Company or any other
Restricted Subsidiary or (b) pledge any intercompany notes representing
obligations of any of the Restricted Subsidiaries to secure the payment of any
Indebtedness of the Company, in each case unless such Restricted Subsidiary, the
Company and the Trustee execute and deliver a supplemental indenture evidencing
such Restricted Subsidiary's Guarantee of the Notes pursuant to Article 10 of
this Indenture. Thereafter, such Restricted Subsidiary shall be a Guarantor for
all purposes of this Indenture.

Section 4.19. Payments for Consent.

                  Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall,
directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any consideration, whether by
way of interest, fee or otherwise, to any Holder of any Notes for or as an
inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions
of this Indenture or the Notes unless such consideration is offered to be paid
or agreed to be paid to all Holders of the Notes which so consent, waive or
agree to amend in the time frame set forth in the solicitation documents
relating to such consent, waiver or agreement.

Section 4.20. Change of Control.

                  (a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control (the date of
such occurrence, the "Change of Control Date"), the Company will notify the
Holders of the Notes in writing of such occurrence and shall make an offer to
purchase (a "Change of Control Offer"), and shall purchase, on a Business Day (a
"Change of Control Purchase Date") not more than 60 nor less than 30 days
following the Change of Control Date all of the then outstanding Notes at a
purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued
interest, if any, to the Change of Control Purchase Date (the "Change of Control
Purchase Price").

                  (b) Notice of a Change of Control Offer shall be sent, by
first-class mail, postage prepaid, by the Company not later than the 30th day

registered addresses with a copy to the Trustee and the Paying Agent. The Change

                          (ii) the purchase price (including the amount of
                  accrued interest, if any) for each Note, the Change of Control
                  Purchase Date and the date on which the Change of Control
                  Offer expires;

                           (iii) that any Note not tendered for payment will
                  continue to accrue interest in accordance with the terms
                  thereof;

                          (iv) that, unless the Company shall default in the
                  payment of the purchase price, any Note accepted for payment
                  pursuant to the Change of Control Offer shall cease to accrue
                  interest after the Change of Control Purchase Date;

                           (v) that Holders electing to have Notes purchased

                          (vi) that Holders of Notes will be entitled to
                  withdraw their election if the Paying Agent receives, not
                  later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Change of
                  Control Purchase Date, a tested telex, facsimile transmission
                  or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal

                  Company, the most recent annual and quarterly reports of the
                  Company filed with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act (or,
                  if the Company is not then permitted to file any such reports
                  with the SEC, the comparable reports prepared pursuant to
                  Section 4.02), a description of material developments in the
                  Company's business, information with respect to pro forma
                  historical financial information after giving effect to such
                  Change of Control and such other information concerning the
                  circumstances and relevant facts regarding such Change of
                  Control Offer as

                                      -52-


                  would be material to a Holder of Notes in connection with the
                  decision of such Holder as to whether or not it should tender
                  Notes pursuant to the Change of Control Offer.

                  On the Change of Control Purchase Date, the Company shall (i)
accept for payment Notes or portions thereof validly tendered pursuant to the
Change of Control Offer, (ii) deposit with the Paying Agent money, in
immediately available funds, sufficient to pay the purchase price of all Notes
or portions thereof so tendered and accepted and (iii) deliver to the Trustee
the Notes so accepted together with an Officers' Certificate setting forth the

The Paying Agent shall promptly mail or deliver to the Holders of Notes so
accepted payment in an amount equal to the purchase price, and the Trustee shall
promptly authenticate and mail or deliver to such Holders a new Note equal in
principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered; provided
that each such new Note shall be issued in an original principal amount in
denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof. Any Notes not so
accepted shall be promptly mailed or delivered by the Company to the Holder
thereof. The Company will publicly announce the results of the Change of Control
Offer not later than the first Business Day following the Change of Control
Purchase Date.

                  (c) (i) If the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary has issued
any outstanding Indebtedness that is subordinated in right of payment to the
Notes or the Guarantee of such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, or the
Company or any Restricted Subsidiary has issued any Preferred Stock, and the
Company or such Restricted Subsidiary is required to make a change of control
offer or to repurchase or make a distribution with respect to such subordinated
Indebtedness or Preferred Stock in the event of a change of control, the Company
or such Restricted Subsidiary shall not consummate any such change of control
offer, repurchase or distribution with respect to such subordinated Indebtedness
or Preferred Stock until such time as the Company shall have paid the Change of
Control Purchase Price in full to Holders of Notes that have accepted the
Company's Change of Control Offer and shall otherwise have consummated the
Change of Control Offer made to Holders of the Notes and (ii) the Company or any
Restricted Subsidiary will not issue Indebtedness that is subordinated in right
of payment to the Notes or the Guarantee of such Restricted Subsidiary and the
Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries will not issue Preferred Stock with
change of control provisions requiring the payment of such Indebtedness or
Preferred Stock prior to the payment of the Notes in the event of a Change of
Control under this Indenture.

                  In the event that a Change of Control occurs and the holders
of Notes exercise their right to require the Company to purchase Notes, if such
purchase constitutes a "tender offer" for purposes of Rule 14e-1 under the
Exchange Act at that time, the Company will comply with the requirements of Rule
14e-1 as then in effect with respect to such repurchase.

                           (B) appoints a Custodian of the Company or any

                  The term "Bankruptcy Law" means Title 11, U.S. Code or any
similar Federal or state law for the relief of debtors. The term "Custodian"
means any receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator or similar official under any
Bankruptcy Law.

                  The Trustee may withhold notice to the Holders of the Notes of
any Default (except in payment of principal or premium, if any, or interest on
the Notes) in accordance with Section 7.05.

Section 6.02. Acceleration.

                  If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default arising
under Section 6.01(6) or (7)) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee by written
notice to the Company, or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate
principal amount of the Notes (including Additional Notes, if any) then
outstanding may by written notice to the Company and the Trustee declare that
the entire principal amount of all the Notes then outstanding plus accrued and
unpaid interest to the date of acceleration are immediately due and payable, in
which case either (i) such amounts shall become immediately due and payable; or
(ii) if there are any amounts outstanding under or in respect of the Senior
Credit Facility, such amounts shall become due and payable upon the first to
occur of an acceleration under or in respect of the Senior Credit Facility or
five Business Days after receipt by the Company and the agent for the lenders
under the Senior Credit Facility of notice of the acceleration of the Notes;
provided, however, that after such acceleration but before a judgment or decree
based on such acceleration is obtained by the Trustee, the Holders of a majority
in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes may rescind and annul
such acceleration and its consequences if (i) all existing Events of Default,
other than the nonpayment of accelerated principal, premium, if any, or interest
that has become due solely because of the acceleration, have been cured or
waived, (ii) to the extent the payment of such interest is lawful, interest on
overdue installments of interest and overdue principal, which has become due
otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration, has been paid and (iii) if
the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree. No such
rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent
thereto. In case an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(6) or (7) with
respect to the Company occurs, such principal, premium, if any, and interest
amount with respect to all of the Notes shall be due and payable immediately
without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or the Holders
of the Notes.

Section 6.03. Other Remedies.

                  If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee
may pursue any available remedy by proceeding at law or in equity to collect the
payment of principal of, or


<PAGE>
                                      -57-


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 Noteholder 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. No remedy is
exclusive of any other remedy. All available remedies are cumulative to the
extent permitted by law.

Section 6.04. Waiver of Past Defaults and Events of Default.

                  Subject to Sections 6.02, 6.07 and 8.02 hereof, the Holders of
a majority in principal amount of the Notes (including Additional Notes, if any)
then outstanding have the right to waive any existing Default or Event of
Default or compliance with any provision of this Indenture or the Notes. 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
Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

Section 6.05. Control by Majority.

                  The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes
(including Additional Notes, if any) then outstanding may direct the time,
method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the
Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee by this
Indenture. The Trustee, however, may refuse to follow any direction that
conflicts with law or this Indenture or that the Trustee determines may be
unduly prejudicial to the rights of another Noteholder or that may involve the
Trustee in personal or corporate liability; provided that the Trustee may take
any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with
such direction.

Section 6.06. Limitation on Suits.

                  Subject to Section 6.07 below, a Noteholder may not institute
any proceeding or pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes
unless:

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

                  (2) the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount
         of the Notes (including Additional Notes, if any) then outstanding make
         a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy;


<PAGE>
                                      -58-


                  (3) such Holder or Holders offer to the Trustee indemnity
         reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or
         expense to be incurred in compliance with such request;

                  (4) the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60
         days after receipt of the request and the offer of indemnity; and

                  (5) no direction inconsistent with such written request has
         been given to the Trustee during such 60 day period by the Holders of a
         majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding.

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

Section 6.07. Rights of Holders To Receive Payment.

                  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture (but in
any event subject to the provisions of Articles 10 and 11), the right of any
Holder of a Note to receive payment of principal of, or premium, if any, and
interest of the Note on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Note,
or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such
respective dates, is absolute and unconditional and shall not be impaired or
affected without the consent of the Holder.

Section 6.08. Collection Suit by Trustee.

                  If an Event of Default in payment of principal, premium or
interest specified in Section 6.01(1) or (2) hereof occurs and is continuing,
the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express
trust against the Company or the Guarantors (or any other obligor on the Notes)
for the whole amount of unpaid principal and accrued interest remaining unpaid,
together with interest on overdue principal and, to the extent that payment of
such interest is lawful, interest on overdue installments of interest, in each
case at the rate then borne by the Notes, and such further amounts 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 may 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
Noteholders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company or the
Guarantors (or any other obligor upon the Notes), any of their respective



<PAGE>
                                      -59-

creditors or any of their respective property and shall be entitled and
empowered to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or
deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same after deduction of its
charges and expenses to the extent that any such charges and expenses are not
paid out of the estate in any such proceedings and any custodian in any such
judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Noteholder 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 Noteholders, 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.

                  Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the
Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any
Noteholder any plan or reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition
affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the
Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Noteholder in any such
proceedings.

Section 6.10. Priorities.

                  If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article 6,
it shall pay out the money in the following order:

                  FIRST: to the Trustee for amounts due under Section 7.07
         hereof;

                  SECOND: to Noteholders for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes
         for principal, premium, if any, and interest as to each, ratably,
         without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts
         due and payable on the Notes; and

                  THIRD: to the Company or, to the extent the Trustee collects
         any amount from any Guarantor, to such Guarantor.

                  The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any
payment to Noteholders pursuant to this Section 6.10.

Section 6.11. Undertaking for Costs.

                  In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under
this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or
omitted by it as Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by
any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit,
and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including
reasonable attorneys' fees, against any party litigant in the suit, having due
regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party
litigant. This Section 6.11 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a
Holder pursuant to Section 6.07 hereof or a suit by


<PAGE>
                                      -60-


Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the Notes (including Additional
Notes, if any) then outstanding.

                                    ARTICLE 7

                                     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 same circumstances in the
conduct of his own affairs.

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

                  (1) The Trustee need perform only those duties that are
         specifically set forth in this Indenture and no covenants or
         obligations shall be implied in this Indenture against the Trustee.

                  (2) 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 but, in the case of any such certificates or opinions
         which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished
         to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same
         to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this
         Indenture.

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

                  (1) This paragraph does not limit the effect of paragraph (b)
         of this Section 7.01.

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

                  (3) 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 Sections 6.02 and 6.05 hereof.


<PAGE>
                                      -61-


                  (d) No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee
to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in
the performance of any of its rights or powers if it shall have reasonable
grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity
satisfactory to it against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to
it.

                  (e) The Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action
taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the
directions of the Noteholders of not less than a majority in principal amount of
any series at the time outstanding relating to the time, place, and method of
conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising
any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee under this Indenture with respect
to the Notes of that series.

                  (f) Whether or not therein expressly so provided, paragraphs
(a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) of this Section 7.01 shall govern every provision of
this Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee.

                  (g) 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 or
any Guarantor. Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from
other funds except to the extent required by the law.

Section 7.02. Rights of Trustee.

                  Subject to Section 7.01 hereof:

                  (1) The Trustee may conclusively rely on and shall be
         protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any document
         reasonably 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.

                  (2) Any request, direction, order, or demand of the Company
         mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by a Board Resolution
         (or an authorized board committee thereof) or a document signed in the
         name of the Company by an authorized officer (unless other evidence in
         respect thereof is specifically prescribed herein).

                  (3) Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may
         require an Officers' Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel, or both,
         which shall conform to the provisions of Section 12.05 hereof. The
         Trustee shall be protected and shall not be liable for any action it
         takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such certificate or
         opinion.


<PAGE>
                                      -62-


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

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

                  (6) The Trustee may consult with counsel of its selection, and
         the advice or opinion of such counsel as to matters of law shall be
         full and complete authorization and protection from liability in
         respect of any action taken, omitted or suffered by it hereunder in
         good faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of such
         counsel.

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

                  (8) The Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any
         fact or matter unless such fact or matter is known to a Responsible
         Officer of the Trustee.

                  (9) Whenever in the administration of this Indenture the
         Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established
         prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the
         Trustee (unless other evidence be herein specifically prescribed) may
         request, and in the absence of bad faith or willful misconduct on its
         part, rely upon an Officer's Certificate.

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 make loans to, accept deposits from,
perform services for or otherwise deal with the Company or any Guarantor, or any
Affiliates thereof, with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.
Any Agent may do the same with like rights. The Trustee, however, shall be
subject to Sections 7.10 and 7.11 hereof.

Section 7.04. Trustee's Disclaimer.

                  The Trustee 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 sale of Notes or any money paid to the
Company pursuant to the terms of this Indenture and it shall not be responsible
for any statement or recital herein or in the Notes other than its certificate
of authentication.


<PAGE>
                                      -63-


Section 7.05. Notice of Default.

                  If a Default or an Event of Default occurs and is continuing
and if it is known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail to each Noteholder
notice of the Default or the Event of Default, as the case may be, within 30
days after it occurs. Except in the case of a Default or an Event of Default in
payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on any Note the
Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as the Board of Directors of the
Trustee, the executive committee or any trust committee of such board and/or its
Responsible Officers in good faith determine(s) that withholding the notice is
in the interests of the Noteholders.

Section 7.06. Reports by Trustee to Holders.

                  If required by the TIA, within 60 days after May 15 of each
year, commencing the May 15 following the date of this Indenture, the Trustee
shall mail to each Noteholder a brief report dated as of such May 15 that
complies with TIA Section 313(a). The Trustee also shall comply with TIA
Sections 313(b) and 313(c).

                  A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to
Noteholders shall be filed with the SEC, the New York Stock Exchange and each
other stock exchange, if any, on which the Notes are listed. The Company shall
promptly notify the Trustee when the Notes are listed on any other stock
exchange and the Trustee shall comply with TIA Section 313(d).

Section 7.07. Compensation and Indemnity.

                  The Company shall pay to the Trustee from time to time
reasonable compensation for its services. The Trustee's compensation shall not
be limited by any provision of law on compensation of a trustee of an express
trust.

                  The Company shall reimburse the Trustee upon request for all
reasonable disbursements, expenses and advances incurred or made by it in
connection with its duties under this Indenture, including the reasonable
compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee's agents and counsel.

                  The Company shall indemnify the Trustee for, and hold it
harmless against, any and all loss or liability incurred by it in connection
with the acceptance or performance of its duties under this Indenture including
the reasonable costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim or
liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or
duties hereunder. The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any claim
asserted against the Trustee for which it may seek indemnity.

                  However, the failure by the Trustee to so notify the Company
shall not relieve the Company of its obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Company and the


<PAGE>
                                      -64-


Guarantors need not reimburse the Trustee for any expense or indemnify it
against any loss or liability incurred by the Trustee through its gross
negligence or bad faith. To secure the payment obligations of the Company and
the Guarantors in this Section 7.07, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the
Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee except such
money or property held in trust to pay principal of and interest on particular
Notes.

                  When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an
Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(6) or (7) hereof occurs, the expenses
and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of
administration under any Bankruptcy Law.

                  For purposes of this Section 7.07, the term "Trustee" shall
include any trustee appointed pursuant to Article 9.

Section 7.08. Replacement of Trustee.

                  The Trustee may resign by so notifying the Company in writing.

                  The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the
outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee by notifying the removed Trustee in
writing and may appoint a successor Trustee with the Company's written consent
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Company may remove the
Trustee at its election if:

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

                  (2) the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent;

                  (3) a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the
         Trustee or its property; or

                  (4) the Trustee otherwise 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 notify each
Holder of such event and shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee.

                  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 outstanding
Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a
successor Trustee.

                  If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10 hereof, any
Noteholder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of
the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.


<PAGE>
                                      -65-


                  A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its
appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Immediately following
such delivery, the retiring Trustee shall, subject to its rights under Section
7.07 hereof, transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor
Trustee, 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. A successor Trustee shall mail
notice of its succession to each Noteholder.

Section 7.09. Successor Trustee by Consolidation, Merger or Conversion.

                  If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or
transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust assets to, another
corporation, subject to Section 7.10 hereof, the successor corporation without
any further act shall be the successor Trustee.

Section 7.10. Eligibility; Disqualification.

                  This Indenture shall always have a Trustee who satisfies the
requirements of TIA Sections 310(a)(1), (2) and (5) in every respect. The
Trustee shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $100,000,000 as

                       AMENDMENTS, SUPPLEMENTS AND WAIVERS

Section 8.01. Without Consent of Holders.

                  The Company and the Guarantors, when authorized by a Board
Resolution of each of them, and the Trustee may amend or supplement this

                  (1) to comply with Section 5.01 hereof;

         any other change that does not adversely affect the rights of any
         Noteholder.

                  The Trustee is hereby authorized to join with the Company and
the Guarantors in the execution of any supplemental indenture authorized or
permitted by the terms of this Indenture and to make any further appropriate
agreements and stipulations which may be therein contained, but the Trustee
shall not be obligated to enter into any such supplemental indenture which
adversely affects its own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture.

Section 8.02. With Consent of Holders.

                  The Company, the Guarantors, when authorized by a Board
Resolution of each of them, and the Trustee may amend or supplement this
Indenture or the Notes with the written consent of the Holders of not less than
a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes (including
Additional Notes, if any) without notice to any Noteholder. The Holders of not
less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes
(including Additional Notes, if any) may waive compliance in a particular
instance by the Company with any provision of this Indenture or the Notes
without notice to any Noteholder. Subject to Section 8.04, without the consent
of each Noteholder affected, however, an amendment, supplement or waiver,
including a waiver pursuant to Section 6.04, may not:


<PAGE>
                                      -67-


                  (1) reduce the amount of Notes (including Additional Notes, if
         any) whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver
         to this Indenture or the Notes;

                  (2) reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of
         interest on any Note;

                  (3) reduce the principal of or premium on or change the stated
         maturity of any Note;

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

                  (5) change the amount or time of any payment required by the
         Notes or reduce the premium payable upon any redemption of the Notes,
         or change the time before which no such redemption may be made;

                  (6) waive a default in the payment of the principal of,
         interest on, or redemption payment with respect to, any Note;

                  (7) make any changes in Sections 6.04 or 6.07 hereof or this
         sentence of Section 8.02;

                  (8) amend, alter, change or modify the obligation of the
         Company to make and consummate a Change of Control Offer in the event
         of a Change of Control or make and consummate an Excess Proceeds Offer
         after such obligation has arisen or waive any Default in the
         performance of any such offers or modify any of the provisions or
         definitions with respect to any such offers; or

                  (9) take any other action otherwise prohibited by this
         Indenture to be taken without the consent of each holder affected
         thereby.

                  Upon the request of the Company, accompanied by a Board
Resolution authorizing the execution of any such supplemental indenture, and
upon the receipt by the Trustee of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the
Trustee of the consent of the Noteholders as aforesaid and upon receipt by the
Trustee of the documents described in Section 8.06 hereof, the Trustee shall
join with the Company and the Guarantors in the execution of such supplemental
indenture unless such supplemental indenture affects the Trustee's own rights,
duties or immunities under this Indenture, in which case the Trustee may in its
discretion, but shall not be obligated to, enter into such supplemental
indenture.


<PAGE>
                                      -68-


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

Section 8.03.       Compliance with Trust Indenture Act.

                  Every amendment to or supplement of this Indenture or the
Notes shall comply with the TIA as then in effect.

Section 8.04.       Revocation and Effect of Consents.

                  Until an amendment, supplement, waiver or other action becomes
effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Note is a continuing consent
conclusive and binding upon such Holder and every subsequent Holder of the same
Note or portion thereof, and of any Note issued upon the transfer thereof or in
exchange therefor or in place thereof, even if notation of the consent is not
made on any such Note. Any such Holder or subsequent Holder, however, may revoke
the consent as to his Note or portion of a Note, if the Trustee receives the
notice of revocation before the date the amendment, supplement, waiver or other
action becomes effective.

                  The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record
date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to consent to any
amendment, supplement, or waiver which record date shall be at least 30 days
prior to the first solicitation of such consent. If a record date is fixed,
then, notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Holders at
such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only such Persons,
shall be entitled to consent to such amendment, supplement, or waiver or to
revoke any consent previously given, whether or not such Persons continue to be
Holders after such record date. No such consent shall be valid or effective for
more than 90 days after such record date.

                  After an amendment, supplement, waiver or other action becomes
effective, it shall bind every Noteholder, unless it makes a change described in
any of clauses (1) through (10) of Section 8.02 hereof. In that case the
amendment, supplement, waiver or other action shall bind each Holder of a Note
who has consented to it and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a
Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder's Note; provided that
any such waiver shall not impair or affect the right of any Holder to receive
payment of principal of and interest on a Note, on or after the respective due
dates expressed in such Note, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such
payment on or after such respective dates without the consent of such Holder.

                                      -69-


Section 8.05. Notation on or Exchange of Notes.

                  If an amendment, supplement, or waiver changes the terms of a
Note, the Trustee may request the Holder of the Note to deliver it to the
Trustee. In such case, the Trustee shall place an appropriate notation on the
Note about the changed terms and return it to the Holder. Alternatively, if the
Company or the Trustee so determines, the Company in exchange for the Note shall
issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a new security that reflects the
changed terms. Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Note
shall not affect the validity and effect of such amendment supplement or waiver.

Section 8.06. Trustee To Sign Amendments, etc.

                  The Trustee shall sign any amendment, supplement or waiver
authorized pursuant to this Article 8 if the amendment, supplement or waiver
does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the
Trustee. If it does, the Trustee may, but need not, sign it. In signing or
refusing to sign such amendment, supplement or waiver 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
stating that such amendment, supplement or waiver is authorized or permitted by
this Indenture. The Company or any Guarantor may not sign an amendment or
supplement until the Board of Directors of the Company or such Guarantor, as
appropriate, approves it.

                                    ARTICLE 9

                       DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE; DEFEASANCE

                  The Company and the Guarantors may terminate their obligations
under the Notes, the Guarantees and this Indenture, except the obligations
referred to in the last paragraph of this Section 9.01, if there shall have been
canceled by the Trustee or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation all Notes
theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than any Notes that are asserted
to have been destroyed, lost or stolen and that shall have been replaced as
provided in Section 2.07 hereof) and the Company has paid all sums payable by it
hereunder or deposited all required sums with the Trustee.

                  After such delivery the Trustee upon written request shall
acknowledge in writing the discharge of the Company's and the Guarantors'
obligations under the Notes, the Guarantees and this Indenture except for those
surviving obligations specified below.

                  Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this

Section 9.02. Legal Defeasance.

                  The Company may at its option, by Board Resolution, be
discharged from its obligations with respect to the Notes and the Guarantors
discharged from their obligations under the Guarantees on the date the
conditions set forth in Section 9.04 below are satisfied (hereinafter, "Legal
Defeasance"). For this purpose, such Legal Defeasance means that the Company
shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented
by the Notes and to have satisfied all its other obligations under such Notes
and this Indenture insofar as such Notes are concerned (and the Trustee, at the
expense of the Company, shall, subject to Section 9.06 hereof, execute proper
instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following which shall
survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (A) the rights of
Holders of outstanding Notes to receive solely from the trust funds described in
Section 9.04 hereof and as more fully set forth in such Section, payments in
respect of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such Notes when
such payments are due, (B) the Company's obligations with respect to such Notes
under Sections 2.03, 2.04, 2.05, 2.06, 2.07, 2.08 and 4.09 hereof, (C) the

7.07 hereof) and (D) this Article 9. Subject to compliance with this Article 9,
the Company may exercise its option under this Section 9.02 with respect to the
Notes notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 9.03 below
with respect to the Notes.

Section 9.03. Covenant Defeasance.

                  At the option of the Company, pursuant to a Board Resolution,
the Company and the Guarantors shall be released from their respective
obligations under Sections 4.02 through 4.08 and Sections 4.10 through 4.21
hereof, inclusive, and Section 5.01 hereof with respect to the outstanding Notes
on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 9.04 hereof are
satisfied (hereinafter, "Covenant Defeasance"). For this purpose, such Covenant
Defeasance means that the Company and the Guarantors may omit to comply with and
shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set
forth in any such specified Section or portion thereof, whether directly or
indirectly by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such specified
Section or portion thereof or by reason of any reference in any such specified
Section or portion thereof to any other provision herein or in any other
document, but the remainder of this Indenture and the Notes shall be unaffected
thereby.

Section 9.04. Conditions to Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

                  The following shall be the conditions to application of
Section 9.02 or Section 9.03 hereof to the outstanding Notes:

         applicable to it) as funds in trust for the purpose of making the
         following payments, specifically pledged as security for, and dedicated
         solely to, the benefit of the Holders of the Notes, (A) money in an
         amount, or (B) U.S. Government Obligations which through the scheduled
         payment of principal and interest in respect thereof in accordance with
         their terms will provide, not later than the due date of any payment,
         money in an amount, or (C) a combination thereof, sufficient, in the
         opinion of a nationally-recognized firm of independent public
         accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to
         the Trustee, to pay and discharge, and which shall be applied by the
         Trustee (or other qualifying trustee) to pay and discharge, the

         Notes at the maturity date of such principal, premium, if any, or
         interest, or on dates for payment and redemption of such principal,

         period under any Bankruptcy Law applicable to the Company in respect of
         such deposit (it being understood that this condition shall not be
         deemed satisfied until the expiration of such period);

                  (3) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not
         cause the Trustee to have a conflicting interest for purposes of the
         TIA with respect to any securities of the Company;

                  (4) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not
         result in a breach or violation of, or constitute default under any
         other agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by
         which it is bound;

                  (5) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion
         of Counsel stating that, as a result of such Legal Defeasance or
         Covenant Defeasance, neither the trust nor the Trustee will be required
         to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act
         of 1940, as amended;

                  (6) in the case of an election under Section 9.02 above, the

         Holders of the outstanding Notes or persons in their positions will not
         recognize income, gain or loss for Federal


<PAGE>
                                      -72-


         income tax purposes solely as a result of such Legal Defeasance and
         will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same
         manner, including as a result of prepayment, and at the same times as
         would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred;

                  (7) in the case of an election under Section 9.03 hereof, the
         Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to

         such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to Federal income tax on
         the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would
         have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;

                  (8) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an
         Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all
         conditions precedent provided for relating to either the Legal
         Defeasance under Section 9.02 above or the Covenant Defeasance under

                  (10) the Company shall have paid or duly provided for payment
         under terms mutually satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee all
         amounts then due to the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.07 hereof.

Section 9.05. Deposited Money and U.S. Government Obligations To Be Held in
              Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions.

                  All money and U.S. Government Obligations (including the
proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 9.04 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 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 accrued interest, but such
money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by
law.

                  The Company and the Guarantors shall pay and indemnify the
Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the
U.S. Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 9.04 hereof or the
principal, premium, if any, 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.


<PAGE>
                                      -73-


                  Anything in this Article 9 to the contrary notwithstanding,
the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon Company
Request any money or U.S. Government Obligations held by it as provided in
Section 9.04 hereof which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of
independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof
delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the amount thereof which would then
be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant
Defeasance.

Section 9.06. Reinstatement.

                  If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or
U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with Section 9.01, 9.02, 9.03 or 9.04
hereof by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment
of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise
prohibiting such application, the Company's and each Guarantor's obligations
under this Indenture, the Notes and the Guarantees shall be revived and
reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article 9 until
such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money or
U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with Section 9.01, 9.02, 9.03 or 9.04
hereof; provided, however, that if the Company or the Guarantors have made any
payment of principal of, premium, if any, or accrued interest on any Notes
because of the reinstatement of their obligations, the Company or the
Guarantors, as the case may be, shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders
of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or U.S. Government
Obligations held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

Section 9.07. Moneys Held by Paying Agent.

                  In connection with the satisfaction and discharge of this
Indenture, all moneys then held by any Paying Agent under the provisions of this
Indenture shall, upon demand of the Company, be paid to the Trustee, or if
sufficient moneys have been deposited pursuant to Section 9.01 hereof, to the
Company (or, if such moneys had been deposited by the Guarantors, to such
Guarantors), and thereupon such Paying Agent shall be released from all further
liability with respect to such moneys.

Section 9.08. Moneys Held by Trustee.

                  Any moneys deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent or
then held by the Company or the Guarantors in trust for the payment of the
principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on any Note that are not applied
but remain unclaimed by the Holder of such Note for two years after the date
upon which the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on such Note shall
have respectively become due and payable shall be repaid to the Company (or, if
appropriate, the Guarantors) upon Company Request, or if such moneys are then
held by the Company or the Guarantors in trust, such moneys shall be released
from such trust; and the Holder of such Note entitled to receive such payment
shall thereafter, as an unsecured general


<PAGE>
                                      -74-


creditor, look only to the Company and the Guarantors for the payment thereof,
and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust
money shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or any such
Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may, at the
expense of the Company and the Guarantors, either mail to each Noteholder
affected, at the address shown in the register of the Notes maintained by the
Registrar pursuant to Section 2.03 hereof, or cause to be published once a week
for two successive weeks, in a newspaper published in the English language,
customarily published each Business Day and of general circulation in the City
of New York, New York, a notice that such money remains unclaimed and that,
after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the
date of such mailing or publication, any unclaimed balance of such moneys then
remaining will be repaid to the Company. After payment to the Company or the
Guarantors or the release of any money held in trust by the Company or any
Guarantors, as the case may be, Noteholders entitled to the money must look only
to the Company and the Guarantors for payment as general creditors unless
applicable abandoned property law designates another person.

of any Notes or any of such other Obligations, that the same will be promptly
paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension
or renewal, at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise. Each Guarantor
hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be absolute and
unconditional, irrespective of, and shall be unaffected by, any invalidity,
irregularity or unenforceability of any such Note or this Indenture, any failure
to enforce the provisions of any such Note or this Indenture, any waiver,
modification or indulgence granted to the Company with respect thereto by the
Holder of such Note or the Trustee, or any other circumstances which may
otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or such
Guarantor.

                  Each Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, filing of
claims with a court in the event of merger or bankruptcy of the Company, any
right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest or notice with
respect to any such Note or the Indebtedness evidenced thereby and all demands
whatsoever, and covenants that this Guarantee will not be discharged as to any
such Note except by payment in full of the principal thereof, premium if any,
and interest thereon and as provided in Section 9.01 hereof. Each Guarantor
further agrees that, as between such Guarantor, 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 6 hereof for the
purposes of this Guarantee, 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 6 hereof, such Obligations (whether or
not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by each Guarantor
for the purpose of this Guarantee. In addition, without limiting the foregoing
provisions, upon the effectiveness of an acceleration under Article 6 hereof,
the Trustee shall promptly make a demand for payment on the Notes under the
Guarantee provided for in this Article 10 and not discharged.

                  The Guarantee set forth in this Section 10.01 shall not be
valid or become obligatory for any purpose with respect to a Note until the
certificate of authentication on such Note shall have been signed by or on
behalf of the Trustee.

Section 10.02. Execution and Delivery of Guarantees.

                  To evidence the Guarantee set forth in this Article 10, each
Guarantor hereby agrees that a notation of such Guarantee shall be placed on
each Note authenticated and made available for delivery by the Trustee and that
this Guarantee shall be executed on behalf of each Guarantor by the manual or
facsimile signature of an Officer of each Guarantor.

                  Each Guarantor hereby agrees that the Guarantee set forth in
Section 10.01 shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure
to endorse on each Note a notation of such Guarantee.

                  If an Officer of a Guarantor whose signature is on the
Guarantee no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the
Note on which the Guarantee is endorsed, the Guarantee shall be valid
nevertheless.

                  The delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the
authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of the Guarantee
set forth in this Indenture on behalf of each Guarantor.

Section 10.03. Limitation of Guarantee.

                  The obligations of each Guarantor are limited to the maximum
amount as will, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed
liabilities of such Guarantor (including, without limitation, any guarantees of
Senior Indebtedness) and after giving effect to any collections from or payments
made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of
such other Guarantor under its Guarantee or pursuant to its contribution
obligations under this Indenture, result in the obligations of such Guarantor
under the Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent
transfer under federal or state law. In making any calculation relevant to
determining such maximum amount, all Senior Indebtedness shall be deemed to have
been incurred prior to the Issue Date.

Section 10.04. Additional Guarantors.

                  The Company covenants and agrees that it will cause any
Restricted Subsidiary which becomes obligated to guarantee the Notes, pursuant
to the terms of Section 4.18 hereof, to execute a supplemental indenture
satisfactory in form and substance to the Trustee pursuant to which such
Restricted Subsidiary shall guarantee the obligations of the Company under the
Notes and this Indenture in accordance with this Article 10 with the same effect
and to the same extent as if such Person had been named herein as a Guarantor.
Upon the execution of such a Supplemental Indenture, the Guarantee of such
Restricted Subsidiary shall be deemed to be notated on each outstanding Note.
Notes delivered by the Trustee after the execution and delivery of such
Supplemental Indenture shall include the notation of the Guarantee of such
Restricted Subsidiary but the failure to include such a notation shall not
otherwise effect the validity or enforceability of such Guarantee.

Section 10.05. Release of Guarantor.

                  Upon (i) the release of all guarantees by a Guarantor of any
Indebtedness of the Company and the release of all Liens on the property and
assets of such Guarantor securing such guarantees or Indebtedness or (ii) the
sale or disposition (whether by merger, sale of stock or otherwise) of a
Guarantor (or substantially all of its assets) to an entity which is not a
Subsidiary of the Company which is otherwise in compliance with this Indenture
(and providing that the guarantees and Liens referred to in the foregoing clause
(i) are also released at such time), and in each such case, the delivery to the
Trustee of an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that
all such conditions in the foregoing clause (i) or (ii), as the case may be,
have been complied with, such Guarantor shall be deemed released from all of its
obligations under this Indenture and its Guarantor.

Section 10.06. Guarantee Obligations Subordinate to Senior Indebtedness.

                  Each Guarantor and each Holder, by its acceptance of the
Notes, agree that the payment of the principal of and interest on the Notes
pursuant to the Guarantees and any other payment in respect of the Notes by each
Guarantor is subordinated, to the extent and in the manner provided in this
Article 10, to the prior payment in full in cash of all Senior Indebtedness of
such Guarantor and that these subordination provisions are for the benefit of
the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Guarantors.

                  This Article 10 shall constitute a continuing offer to all
Persons who, in reliance upon such provisions, become holders of, or continue to
hold, Senior Indebtedness of a Guarantor, and such provisions are made for the
benefit of the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Guarantors, and such
holders are made obligees hereunder and any one or more of them may enforce such
provisions.

Section 10.07. No Payment on Guarantees in Certain Circumstances.

                  (a) No payment (by set-off or otherwise) shall be made by or
on behalf of a Guarantor on account of its Obligations on its Guarantee (other
than Junior Securities), (i) upon the maturity of any Senior Indebtedness of
such Guarantor by lapse of time, acceleration (unless waived) or otherwise,
unless and until all principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such Senior
Indebtedness of such Guarantor are first paid in full in cash or (ii) in the
event of default in the payment of any principal of, premium, if any, or
interest on Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor when it becomes due and
payable, whether at maturity or at a date fixed for prepayment or by declaration
or otherwise (a "Guarantor Payment Default"), unless and until such Guarantor
Payment Default has been cured or waived or otherwise has ceased to exist.

                  (b) Upon (i) the happening of an event of default (other than
a Guarantor Payment Default) that permits the holders of Designated Senior
Indebtedness of a Guarantor to declare such Designated Senior Indebtedness of
such Guarantor to be due and payable and (ii) written notice of such event of
default given to such Guarantor, the Company and the Trustee by the
representative of the holders of such Designated Senior Indebtedness of such
Guarantor (a "Guarantor Payment Notice"), then, unless and until such event of
default has been cured or waived or otherwise has ceased to exist, no payment
(by set-off or otherwise) may be made by or on behalf of such Guarantor on
account of its Obligations under its Guarantee, other than payments made with
Junior Securities.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless the Designated Senior
Indebtedness of such Guarantor in respect of which such event of default exists
has been declared due and payable in its entirety within 179 days after the
Guarantor Payment Notice is delivered as set forth above (the "Guarantor Payment
Blockage Period") (and such declaration has not been


<PAGE>
                                      -78-


rescinded or waived), at the end of the Guarantor Payment Blockage Period, such
Guarantor shall, unless a Guarantor Payment Default with respect to such
Designated Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor exists, resume making any and
all required payments in respect of its Obligations under its Guarantee. Any
number of Guarantor Payment Notices may be given; provided, however, that (i)
not more than one Guarantor Payment Notice shall be given within a period of any
360 consecutive days, and (ii) no default that existed upon the date of such
Guarantor Payment Notice if the representative of the holders of Designated
Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor that gave such Guarantor Payment Notice
knew of such default on such date (whether or not such event of default is on
the same issue of Designated Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor) shall be
made the basis for the commencement of any other Guarantor Payment Blockage
Period unless such default has been cured or waived for a period of at least 90
consecutive days.

                  (c) In furtherance of the provisions of Section 10.01, in the
event that, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.07, any
payment on account of a Guarantor's Obligations on its Guarantee (other than
Junior Securities) shall be received by the Trustee at a time when such payment
is prohibited by the provisions of this Section 10.07, such payment shall be
held in trust for the benefit of the holders of Senior Indebtedness of such
Guarantor, and shall be paid or delivered by the Trustee, to the holders of
Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor remaining unpaid or to their
representative or representatives, or to the trustee or trustees under any
indenture pursuant to which any instruments evidencing any of such Senior
Indebtedness of such Guarantor may have been issued, ratably according to the
aggregate principal amounts remaining unpaid on account of such Senior
Indebtedness of such Guarantor held or represented by each, for application to
the payment of all such Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor remaining unpaid,
to the extent necessary to pay or provide for the payment of all such Senior
Indebtedness of such Guarantor in full in cash after giving effect to any
concurrent payment or distribution to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness of
such Guarantor.

Section 10.08. Guarantee Obligations Subordinated to Prior Payment of All Senior
               Indebtedness of Guarantors on Dissolution, Liquidation or
               Reorganization.

                  Upon any distribution of assets of a Guarantor upon any
dissolution, winding up, total or partial liquidation or reorganization of such
Guarantor, whether voluntary or involuntary, in bankruptcy, insolvency,
receivership or a similar proceeding or upon assignment for the benefit of
creditors or any marshalling of assets or liabilities:

                  (a) the holders of all Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor
         will first be entitled to receive payment in full in cash before the
         Holders are entitled to receive any


<PAGE>
                                      -79-


         payment on account of such Guarantor's Obligations on its Guarantee
         (other than Junior Securities);

                  (b) any payment or distribution of assets of such Guarantor of
         any kind or character from any source, whether in cash, property or
         securities (other than Junior Securities) to which the Holders or the
         Trustee on behalf of the Holders would be entitled (by set-off or
         otherwise), except for the provisions of this Article 10, shall be paid
         by the liquidating trustee or agent or other person making such a
         payment or distribution directly to the holders of such Senior
         Indebtedness of such Guarantor or their representative to the extent
         necessary to make payment in full (or have such payment duly provided
         for) on all such Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor remaining
         unpaid, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution
         to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor; and

                  (c) in the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any
         payment or distribution of assets of such Guarantor (other than Junior
         Securities) shall be received by the Trustee at a time when such
         payment or distribution is prohibited by the foregoing provisions, such
         payment or distribution shall be held in trust for the benefit of the
         holders of such Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor, and shall be
         paid or delivered by the Trustee to the holders of such Senior
         Indebtedness of such Guarantor remaining unpaid, to their
         representative or representatives, or to the trustee or trustees under
         any indenture pursuant to which any instruments evidencing any of such
         Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor may have been issued, ratably
         according to the aggregate principal amounts remaining unpaid on
         account of such Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor held or
         represented by each, for application to the payment of all such Senior
         Indebtedness of such Guarantor remaining unpaid, to the extent
         necessary to pay all such Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor in full
         in cash after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution
         to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor.

Section 10.09. Holders To Be Subrogated to Rights of Holders of Senior
               Indebtedness of Guarantors.

                  Subject to the payment in full in cash of all Senior
Indebtedness of each Guarantor as provided herein, the Holders of Notes shall be
subrogated to the rights of the holders of such Senior Indebtedness of such
Guarantor to receive payments or distributions of assets of such Guarantor
applicable to the Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor until all amounts owing
on the Notes shall be paid in full, and for the purpose of such subrogation no
such payments or distributions to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness of
such Guarantor by or on behalf of such Guarantor, or by or on behalf of the
Holders by virtue of this Article 10, which otherwise would have been made to
the Holders shall, as between such Guarantor and


<PAGE>
                                      -80-


the Holders, be deemed to be payment by such Guarantor or on account of such
Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor, it being understood that the provisions
of this Article 10 are and are intended solely for the purpose of defining the
relative rights of the Holders, on the one hand, and the holders of such Senior
Indebtedness of such Guarantor, on the other hand.

                  If any payment or distribution to which the Holders would
otherwise have been entitled but for the provisions of this Article 10 shall
have been applied, pursuant to the provisions of this Article 10, to the payment
of amounts payable under Senior Indebtedness of a Guarantor, then the Holders
shall be entitled to receive from the holders of such Senior Indebtedness of
such Guarantor any payments or distributions received by such holders of Senior
Indebtedness of such Guarantor in excess of the amount sufficient to pay all
amounts payable under or in respect of such Senior Indebtedness of such
Guarantor in full in cash.

Holders and the Trustee with respect to the Guarantee of such Guarantor and all
references therein to Article 11 hereof shall mean this Article 10.

Section 10.11. Contribution.

                  In order to provide for just and equitable contribution among
the Guarantors, the Guarantors agree, inter se, that in the event any payment or

Guarantee, such Funding Guarantor shall be entitled to contribution from all
other Guarantors in a pro rata amount based on the Adjusted Net Assets of each
Guarantor (including the Funding Guarantor) for all payments, damages and
expenses incurred by that Funding Guarantor in discharging the Company's
obligations with respect to the Notes or any other Guarantor's Obligations with
respect to its Guarantee.

                                   ARTICLE 11

                             SUBORDINATION OF NOTES

Section 11.01. Notes Subordinate to Senior Indebtedness.

                  The Company and each Holder, by its acceptance of the Notes,
agree that (a) the payment of the principal of and interest on the Notes and (b)
any other payment in respect of the Notes, including on account of the

<PAGE>
                                      -81-


the extent and in the manner provided in this Article 11, to the prior payment
in full in cash of all Senior Indebtedness of the Company and that these
subordination provisions are for the benefit of the holders of Senior
Indebtedness.

                  This Article 11 shall constitute a continuing offer to all
Persons who, in reliance upon such provisions, become holders of, or continue to
hold, Senior Indebtedness, and such provisions are made for the benefit of the
holders of Senior Indebtedness, and such holders are made obligees hereunder and
any one or more of them may enforce such provisions.

interest on the Notes (including any repurchases of Notes), or on account of the
redemption provisions of the Notes, for cash or property (other than Junior

lapse of time, acceleration (unless waived) or otherwise, unless and until all
principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such Senior Indebtedness are
first paid in full in cash or (ii) in the event of default in the payment of any
principal of, premium, if any, or interest on Senior Indebtedness of the Company

prepayment or by declaration or otherwise (a "Payment Default"), unless and

may be made by or on behalf of the Company on account of the principal of,
premium, if any, or interest on the Notes, or on account of the redemption
provisions of the Notes, other than payments made with Junior Securities.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless the Designated Senior
Indebtedness in respect of which such event of default exists has been declared

that existed upon the date of such Payment Notice if the representative of the
holders of Designated Senior Indebtedness that gave such Payment Notice knew of
such default on such date (whether or not such event of default is on the same
issue of Designated Senior Indebtedness) shall be made the basis for the
commencement of any other Payment Blockage Period unless such default has been
cured or waived for a period of at least 90 consecutive days.

                  (c) In furtherance of the provisions of Section 11.01, in the
event that, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.02, any
payment or distribution of assets of the Company (other than Junior Securities)
shall be received by the Trustee at a time when such payment or distribution is

         are entitled to receive any payment on account of the principal of,
         premium, if any, and interest on the Notes (other than Junior
         Securities);

                  (b) any payment or distribution of assets of the Company of

         the Trustee to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness remaining
         unpaid, to their representative or representatives, or to the trustee
         or trustees under any indenture pursuant to which any instruments
         evidencing any of such Senior Indebtedness may have been issued,
         ratably according to the aggregate principal amounts remaining unpaid
         on account of such Senior Indebtedness held or represented by each, for
         application to the payment of all such Senior Indebtedness remaining

understood that the provisions of this Article 11 are and are intended solely
for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the Holders, on the one hand,
and the holders of such Senior Indebtedness, on the other hand.

                  If any payment or distribution to which the Holders would
otherwise have been entitled but for the provisions of this Article 11 shall
have been applied, pursuant to the provisions of this Article 11, to the payment
of amounts payable under Senior Indebtedness of the Company, then the Holders

unconditional, to pay to the Holders the principal of, premium, if any, and
interest on the Notes as and when the same shall become due and payable in
accordance with their terms, or is intended to or shall affect the relative
rights of the Holders and creditors of the Company other than the holders of the
Senior Indebtedness, nor shall anything herein or therein prevent the Trustee or
any Holder from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law
upon default under this Indenture, subject to the rights, if any, under this
Article 11, of the holders of Senior Indebtedness in respect of cash, property
or securities of the Company received upon the exercise of any such remedy.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 11 or elsewhere in this
Indenture or in the Notes, upon any distribution of assets of the Company
referred to in this Article 11, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of
Sections 7.01 and 7.02, and the Holders shall be entitled to rely upon any order
or decree made by any court of competent jurisdiction in which such dissolution,
winding up, liquidation or reorganization proceedings are pending, or a
certificate of the liquidating trustee or agent or other Person making any
distribution to the Trustee or to the Holders for the purpose of ascertaining
the Persons entitled to participate in such distribution, the holders of the
Senior Indebtedness and other Indebtedness of the Company, the amount thereof or
payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other
facts pertinent thereto or to this Article 11 so long as such court has been
apprised of the provisions of, or the order, decree or certificate makes
reference to, the provisions of this Article 11. Nothing in this Section 11.05
shall apply to the claims of, or payments to, the Trustee under or pursuant to
Section 7.07.

Section 11.06. Trustee Entitled To Assume Payments Not Prohibited in Absence of
               Notice.

                  The Trustee shall not at any time be charged with knowledge of
the existence of any facts which would prohibit the making of any payment to or
by the Trustee unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee or any
Paying Agent shall have received, no later than the close of business on the
Business Day prior to such payment, written notice thereof from the Company or
from one or more holders of Senior Indebtedness or from any representative
therefor and, prior to the receipt of any such written notice, the Trustee,
subject to the provisions of Sections 7.01 and 7.02, shall be entitled in all
respects conclusively to assume that no such fact exists.

Section 11.07. Application by Trustee of Assets Deposited With It.

                  Amounts deposited in trust with the Trustee pursuant to and in
accordance with Article 9 shall be for the sole benefit of Holders of Notes and
shall not be subject to the


<PAGE>
                                      -85-


subordination provisions of this Article 11. Otherwise, any deposit of assets
with the Trustee or the Paying Agent (whether or not in trust) for the payment
of principal of or interest on any Notes shall be subject to the provisions of
Sections 11.01, 11.02, 11.03 and 11.04; provided that, if prior to one Business
Day preceding the date on which by the terms of this Indenture any such assets
may become distributable for any purpose (including without limitation, the
payment of either principal of or interest on any Note) the Trustee or such
Paying Agent shall not have received with respect to such assets the written
notice provided for in Section 11.06, then the Trustee or such Paying Agent
shall have full power and authority to receive such assets and to apply the same
to the purpose for which they were received, and shall not be affected by any
notice to the contrary which may be received by it on or after such date.

Section 11.08. Subordination Rights Not Impaired by Acts of or Omissions of the
               Company or Holders of Senior Indebtedness.

                  No right of any present or future holders of any Senior
Indebtedness to enforce subordination provisions contained in this Article 11
shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to
act on the part of the Company or by any act or failure to act, in good faith,
by any such holder, or by any noncompliance by the Company with the terms of
this Indenture, regardless of any knowledge thereof which any such holder may
have or be otherwise charged with. The holders of Senior Indebtedness may
extend, renew, modify or amend the terms of the Senior Indebtedness or any
security therefor and release, sell or exchange such security and otherwise deal
freely with the Company, all without affecting the liabilities and obligations
of the parties to this Indenture or the Holders.

Section 11.09. Holders Authorize Trustee To Effectuate Subordination of Notes.

                  Each Holder of the Notes by his acceptance thereof authorizes
and expressly directs the Trustee on his behalf to take such action as may be
necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination provisions contained in
this Article 11 and to protect the rights of the Holders pursuant to this
Indenture, and appoints the Trustee his attorney-in-fact for such purpose,
including, in the event of any dissolution, winding up, liquidation or
reorganization of the Company (whether in bankruptcy, insolvency or receivership
proceedings or upon an assignment for the benefit of creditors or any other
marshalling of assets and liabilities of the Company), the immediate filing of a
claim for the unpaid balance of his Notes in the form required in said
proceedings and causing said claim to be approved. If the Trustee does not file
a proper claim or proof of debt in the form required in such proceeding prior to
30 days before the expiration of the time to file such claim or claims, then the
holders of the Senior Indebtedness or their representative are or is hereby
authorized to have the right to file and are or is hereby authorized to file an
appropriate claim for and on behalf of the Holders of said Notes. Nothing herein
contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee or the holders of Senior
Indebtedness or their representative to authorize or consent to or accept or
adopt on behalf of


<PAGE>
                                      -86-


any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition
affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the
Trustee or the holders of Senior Indebtedness or their representative to vote in
respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

Section 11.10. Right of Trustee To Hold Senior Indebtedness.

                  The Trustee shall be entitled to all of the rights set forth
in this Article 11 in respect of any Senior Indebtedness at any time held by it
to the same extent as any other holder of Senior Indebtedness, and nothing in
this Indenture shall be construed to deprive the Trustee of any of its rights as
such holder.

Section 11.11. Article 11 Not To Prevent Events of Default.

                  The failure to make a payment on account of principal of,
premium, if any, or interest on the Notes by reason of any provision of this
Article 11 shall not be construed as preventing the occurrence of a Default or
an Event of Default under Section 6.01 or in any way limit the rights of the
Trustee or any Holder to pursue any other rights or remedies with respect to the
Notes.

Section 11.12. No Fiduciary Duty of Trustee to Holders of Senior Indebtedness.

                  The Trustee shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to
the holders of Senior Indebtedness, and shall not be liable to any such holders
(other than for its willful misconduct or gross negligence) if it shall in good
faith mistakenly pay over or distribute to the Holders of Notes or the Company
or any other Person, cash, property or securities to which any holders of Senior
Indebtedness shall be entitled by virtue of this Article 11 or otherwise.
Nothing in this Section 11.12 shall affect the obligation of any other such
Person to hold such payment for the benefit of, and to pay such payment over to,
the holders of Senior Indebtedness or their representative. In the event of any
conflict between the fiduciary duty of the Trustee to the Holders of Notes and
to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, the Trustee is expressly authorized to
resolve such conflict in favor of the Holders.

                                   ARTICLE 12

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

Section 12.01. Trust Indenture Act Controls.

                  If any provision of this Indenture limits, qualifies or
conflicts with another provision which is required to be included in this
Indenture by the TIA, the required provision shall control.

to a Noteholder is mailed in the manner provided above, it shall be deemed duly

                  In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service,
or by reason of any other cause, it shall be impossible to mail any notice as
required by this Indenture, then such method of notification as shall be made
with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient mailing of such
notice.

Section 12.03. Communications by Holders with Other Holders.

                  Noteholders may communicate pursuant to TIA Section 312(b)
with other Noteholders with respect to their rights under this Indenture or the

         opinion of the signers, all conditions precedent, if any, provided for
         in this Indenture relating to the proposed action have been complied
         with; and

                  (2) an Opinion of Counsel (which shall include the statements

                  (4) a statement as to whether or not, in the opinion of such
         Person, such covenant or condition has been complied with.

Section 12.06. When Treasury Notes Disregarded.

                  In determining whether the Holders of the required aggregate
principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent,
Notes owned by the Company, any Guarantor or any other obligor on the Notes or
by any Affiliate of any of them shall be disregarded, except that for the
purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any
such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes which the Trustee actually knows
are so owned shall be so disregarded. Notes so owned which have been pledged in
good faith shall not be disregarded if the pledgee establishes to the
satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee's right so to act with respect to the
Notes and that the pledgee is not the Company, a Guarantor or any other obligor
upon the Notes or any Affiliate of any of them.

Section 12.07. Rules by Trustee and Agents.

                  The Trustee may make reasonable rules for action by or at

                  A "Business Day" is a day that is not a Legal Holiday. A
"Legal Holiday" is a Saturday, a Sunday, a federally recognized holiday or a day
on which banking institutions are not required to be open in the State of New
York or the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

                  If a payment date is a Legal Holiday at a place of payment,
payment may be made at that place on the next succeeding day that is not a Legal
Holiday, and no interest shall accrue for the intervening period.

Section 12.09. Governing Law.

                  THIS INDENTURE, THE NOTES AND THE GUARANTEES SHALL BE GOVERNED
BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, AS

THE GUARANTEES.

Section 12.10. No Adverse Interpretation of Other Agreements.

                  This Indenture may not be used to interpret another indenture,
loan, security or debt agreement of the Company or any Subsidiary thereof. No
such indenture, loan, security or debt agreement may be used to interpret this
Indenture.

Section 12.11. No Recourse Against Others.

                  A director, officer, employee, stockholder or incorporator, as
such, of the Company or any Guarantor shall not have any liability for any
obligations of the Company or any Guarantor under the Notes, the Guarantees or
this Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such
obligations or their creations. Each Noteholder by accepting a Note waives and
releases all such liability. Such waiver and release are part of the
consideration for the issuance of the Notes.

                  All agreements of the Company and the Guarantors in this

shall bind its successor.

Section 12.13. Multiple Counterparts.

                  The parties may sign multiple counterparts of this Indenture.
Each signed counterpart shall be deemed an original, but all of them together
represent one and the same agreement.

Section 12.14. Table of Contents, Headings, etc.

                  The table of contents, cross-reference sheet and headings of
the Articles and Sections of this Indenture have been inserted for convenience
of reference only, are not to be considered a part hereof, and shall in no way
modify or restrict any of the terms or provisions hereof.

Section 12.15. Separability.

                  Each provision of this Indenture shall be considered separable
and if for any reason any provision which is not essential to the effectuation
of the basic purpose of this Indenture or the Notes shall be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining
provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

                                LAMAR MEDIA CORP.

                    7 1/4% SENIOR SUBORDINATED NOTE DUE 2013

1.      INTEREST.

                  Lamar Media Corp., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"),
promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note semiannually on
July 1 and January 1 of each year (each an "Interest Payment Date"), commencing
on July 1, 2003, at the rate of 7 1/4% per annum. Interest will be computed on
the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. Interest shall accrue from
the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for or, if
no interest has been paid or duly provided for, from December 23, 2002.

                  The Company shall pay interest on overdue principal, and on
overdue premium, if any, and overdue interest, to the extent lawful, at a rate
equal to the rate of interest otherwise payable on the Notes.

                  Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company
will be obligated to consummate an exchange offer pursuant to which the Holder
of this Note shall have the right to exchange this Note for notes of a separate
series issued under the Indenture (or a trust indenture substantially identical
to the Indenture in accordance with the terms of the Registration Rights
Agreement), guaranteed by the Guarantors, which notes have been registered under
the Securities Act, in like principal amount and having substantially identical
terms as the Notes. The Holders shall be entitled to receive certain additional
interest payments in the event such exchange offer is not consummated and upon
certain other conditions, all pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of
the Registration Rights Agreement.

2.      METHOD OF PAYMENT.

                  The Company will pay interest on this Note provided for in
Paragraph 1 above (except defaulted interest) to the person who is the
registered Holder of this Note at the close of business on the Record Date
immediately preceding the Interest Payment Date. The Holder must surrender this
Note to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments. The Company will pay
principal, premium, if any, and interest in money of the United States that at
the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts;
provided, however, that so long as this Note is a Global Note such payments will
be made in immediately available funds and the Company may pay principal,
premium, if any, and interest on a Note which is not a Global Note by check
payable in such money. The Company may mail an interest check with respect to
any Note that is not a Global Note to the Holder's registered address.

3.      PAYING AGENT AND REGISTRAR.

                  Initially, Wachovia Bank of Delaware, National Association, a
national association organized under the laws of the United States of America
(the "Trustee"), will act as


                                      A-4
<PAGE>


Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar
without notice to the Holders of the Notes. Neither the Company nor any of its
Subsidiaries or Affiliates may act as Paying Agent but may act as registrar or
co-registrar.

4.      INDENTURE; RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS.

                  The Company issued this Note under an Indenture dated as of
December 23, 2002 (the "Indenture") among the Company, the Guarantors and the
Trustee. The terms of this Note include those stated in the Indenture and those
made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (15
U.S. Code Sections 77aaa-77bbbb) as in effect on the date of the Indenture. This
Note is subject to all such terms, and the Holder of this Note is referred to
the Indenture and said Trust Indenture Act for a statement of them. All
capitalized terms in this Note, unless otherwise defined, have the meanings
assigned to them by the Indenture.

                  The Notes are general unsecured obligations of the Company
unlimited in principal amount. The Indenture imposes certain restrictions on,
among other things, the incurrence of Indebtedness and Liens by the Company and
its Restricted Subsidiaries, mergers and sale of assets, the payment of
dividends on, or the repurchase of, Capital Stock of the Company and its
Restricted Subsidiaries, certain other Restricted Payments by the Company and
its Restricted Subsidiaries and certain transactions with Affiliates.

5.      SUBORDINATION.

                  The Indebtedness evidenced by the Notes is, to the extent and
in the manner provided in the Indenture, subordinated and subject in right of
payment to the prior payment in full in cash of all Senior Indebtedness, and
this Note is issued subject to such provisions. Each Holder of this Note, by
accepting the same, (a) agrees to and shall be bound by such provisions, (b)
authorizes and directs the Trustee, on behalf of such Holder, to take such
action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination as
provided in the Indenture and (c) appoints the Trustee attorney-in-fact of such
Holder for such purpose.

6.      OPTIONAL REDEMPTION.

                  The Notes will be redeemable at the option of the Company, in
whole or in part, at any time on or after January 1, 2008 at the following
redemption prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount), together, in
each case, with accrued and unpaid interest to (but not including) the
redemption date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on January
1, of each year listed below:

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may redeem in the
aggregate up to 35% of the original principal amount of the Notes at any time
and from time to time prior to January 1, 2006 at a redemption price equal to
107.25% of the aggregate principal amount so redeemed, plus accrued interest to
but not including the redemption date, out of the Net Proceeds of one or more
Public Equity Offerings; provided, however, that at least 65% of the aggregate
principal amount of the Notes originally issued remains outstanding immediately
after the occurrence of any such redemption and that any such redemption occurs
within 120 days following the closing of any such Public Equity Offering.

7.      NOTICE OF REDEMPTION.

                  Notice of redemption will be mailed via first-class mail at
least 30 days but not more than 60 days prior to the redemption date to each
Holder of Notes to be redeemed at its registered address as it shall appear on
the register of the Notes maintained by the Registrar. On and after any
Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof
called for redemption unless the Company shall fail to redeem any such Note.

8.      OFFERS TO PURCHASE.

                  The Indenture requires that certain proceeds from Asset Sales
be used, subject to further limitations contained therein, to make an offer to
purchase certain amounts of Notes in accordance with the procedures set forth in
the Indenture. The Company is also required to make an offer to purchase Notes
upon occurrence of a Change of Control in accordance with procedures set forth
in the Indenture.

9.      DENOMINATIONS, TRANSFER, EXCHANGE.

                  The Notes are in registered form without coupons in
denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof. As provided in the
Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, a Holder may
register the transfer or exchange of Notes in accordance with the Indenture. The
Registrar may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate
endorsements and transfer documents and to pay any taxes and fees required by
law or permitted by the Indenture. The Registrar need not register the transfer
of or exchange any Note selected for redemption or register the transfer of or
exchange any Note for a period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be
redeemed or any Note after it is called for redemption in whole or in part,
except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part.

10.     PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS.

                  The registered Holder of this Note may be treated as the owner
of it for all purposes.

11.     UNCLAIMED MONEY.

                  If money for the payment of principal, premium or interest on
any Note remains unclaimed for two years, the Trustee or Paying Agent will pay
the money back to the Company at its written request. After that, Holders
entitled to money must look to the Company for payment as general creditors
unless an "abandoned property" law designates another person.

12.     AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER.

                  Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture or the Notes may
be modified, amended or supplemented by the Company, the Guarantors and the
Trustee with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal
amount of the Notes (including Additional Notes, if any) then outstanding and
any existing default or compliance with any provision may be waived in a
particular instance with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal
amount of the Notes then outstanding. Without the consent of Holders, the
Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee may amend the Indenture or the Notes or
supplement the Indenture for certain specified purposes including providing for
uncertificated Notes in addition to certificated Notes, and curing any
ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, or making any other change that does not
adversely affect the rights of any Holder.

13.     DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES.

                  If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee
or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of Notes then
outstanding may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately in the
manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. Holders of Notes may not
enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. The
Trustee may require indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it before it enforces
the Indenture or the Notes. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding may direct
the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from
Holders of Notes notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default (except a
Default in payment of principal or interest) if it determines that withholding
notice is in their interest.

14.     TRUSTEE DEALINGS WITH THE COMPANY.

                  The Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any
other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services
for the Company, any Guarantor or their Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with
the Company, any Guarantor or their Affiliates, as if it were not Trustee.

                  As more fully described in the Indenture, a director, officer,
employee or stockholder, as such, of the Company or any Guarantor shall not have
any liability for any obligations of the Company or any Guarantor under the
Notes or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect or by reason of,
such obligations or their creation. The Holder of this Note by accepting this
Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of
the consideration for the issuance of this Note.

16.     DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE.

                  The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance of the entire
indebtedness on this Note and for defeasance of certain covenants in the
Indenture upon compliance by the Company with certain conditions set forth in
the Indenture.

17.     ABBREVIATIONS.

                  Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder of

18.     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 has directed the Trustee to use CUSIP numbers in
notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders of the Notes. 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.

                                LAMAR MEDIA CORP.

                    7 1/4% SENIOR SUBORDINATED NOTE DUE 2013

1.      INTEREST.

                  Lamar Media Corp., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"),
promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note semiannually on
July 1 and January 1 of each year (each, an "Interest Payment Date"), commencing
on July 1, 2003, at the rate of 7 1/4% per annum. Interest will be computed on
the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. Interest shall accrue from
the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, or if
no interest has been paid or duly provided for, from December 23, 2002.

                  The Company shall pay interest on overdue principal, and on
overdue premium, if any, and overdue interest, to the extent lawful, at a rate
equal to the rate of interest otherwise payable on the Notes.

2.      METHOD OF PAYMENT.

                  The Company will pay interest on this Note provided for in
Paragraph 1 above (except defaulted interest) to the person who is the
registered Holder of this Note at the close of business on the Record Date
immediately preceding the Interest Payment Date. The Holder must surrender this
Note to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments. The Company will pay
principal, premium, if any, and interest in money of the United States that at
the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts;
provided, however, that so long as this Note is a Global Note such payments will
be made in immediately available funds and the Company may pay principal,
premium, if any, and interest on a Note which is not a Global Note by check
payable in such money. The Company may mail an interest check with respect to
any Note that is not a Global Note to the Holder's registered address.

3.      PAYING AGENT AND REGISTRAR.

                  Initially, Wachovia Bank of Delaware, National Association, a
national association organized under the laws of the United States of America
(the "Trustee"), will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company may change
any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to the Holders of the Notes.
Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates may act as Paying
Agent but may act as registrar or co-registrar.

4.      INDENTURE; RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS.

                  The Company issued this Note under an Indenture dated as of
December 23, 2002 (the "Indenture") among the Company, the Guarantors and the
Trustee. The terms of this Note include those stated in the Indenture and those
made part of the Indenture by


                                      B-3
<PAGE>


reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S. Code Sections
77aaa-77bbbb) as in effect on the date of the Indenture. This Note is subject to
all such terms, and the Holder of this Note is referred to the Indenture and
said Trust Indenture Act for a statement of them. All capitalized terms in this
Note, unless otherwise defined, have the meanings assigned to them by the
Indenture.

                  The Notes are general unsecured obligations of the Company
unlimited in principal amount. The Indenture imposes certain restrictions on,
among other things, the incurrence of Indebtedness and Liens by the Company and
its Restricted Subsidiaries, mergers and sale of assets, the payment of
dividends on, or the repurchase of, Capital Stock of the Company and its
Restricted Subsidiaries, certain other Restricted Payments by the Company and
its Restricted Subsidiaries and certain transactions with Affiliates.

5.      SUBORDINATION.

                  The Indebtedness evidenced by the Notes is, to the extent and
in the manner provided in the Indenture, subordinated and subject in right of
payment to the prior payment in full in cash of all Senior Indebtedness, and
this Note is issued subject to such provisions. Each Holder of this Note, by
accepting the same, (a) agrees to and shall be bound by such provisions, (b)
authorizes and directs the Trustee, on behalf of such Holder, to take such
action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination as
provided in the Indenture and (c) appoints the Trustee attorney-in-fact of such
Holder for such purpose.

6.      OPTIONAL REDEMPTION.

                  The Notes will be redeemable at the option of the Company, in
whole or in part, at any time on or after January 1, 2008 at the following
redemption prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount), together, in
each case, with accrued and unpaid interest to (but not including) the
redemption date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on
December 1, of each year listed below:

                    ----                                          ----------
<S>                                                               <C>

</Table>

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may redeem in the
aggregate up to 35% of the original principal amount of the Notes at any time
and from time to time prior to January 1, 2006 at a redemption price equal to
107.25% of the aggregate principal amount so redeemed, plus accrued interest to
but not including the redemption date, out of the Net Proceeds of one or more
Public Equity Offerings; provided that at least 65% of the aggregate principal
amount of the Notes originally issued remains outstanding immediately after the
occurrence of any such redemption and that any such redemption occurs within 120
days following the closing of any such Public Equity Offering.

7.      NOTICE OF REDEMPTION.

                  Notice of redemption will be mailed via first-class mail at
least 30 days but not more than 60 days prior to the redemption date to each
Holder of Notes to be redeemed at its registered address as it shall appear on
the register of the Notes maintained by the Registrar. On and after any
Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof
called for redemption unless the Company shall fail to redeem any such Note.

8.      OFFERS TO PURCHASE.

                  The Indenture requires that certain proceeds from Asset Sales
be used, subject to further limitations contained therein, to make an offer to
purchase certain amounts of Notes in accordance with the procedures set forth in
the Indenture. The Company is also required to make an offer to purchase Notes
upon occurrence of a Change of Control in accordance with procedures set forth
in the Indenture.

9.      DENOMINATIONS, TRANSFER, EXCHANGE.

                  The Notes are in registered form without coupons in
denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof. As provided in the
Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, a Holder may
register the transfer or exchange of Notes in accordance with the Indenture. The
Registrar may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate
endorsements and transfer documents and to pay any taxes and fees required by
law or permitted by the Indenture. The Registrar need not register the transfer
of or exchange any Note selected for redemption or register the transfer of or
exchange any Note for a period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be
redeemed or any Note after it is called for redemption in whole or in part,
except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part.

10.     PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS.

                  The registered Holder of this Note may be treated as the owner
of it for all purposes.

11.     UNCLAIMED MONEY.

                  If money for the payment of principal, premium or interest on
any Note remains unclaimed for two years, the Trustee or Paying Agent will pay
the money back to the Company at its written request. After that, Holders
entitled to money must look to the Company for payment as general creditors
unless an "abandoned property" law designates another person.

12.     AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER.

                  Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture or the Notes may
be modified, amended or supplemented by the Company, the Guarantors and the
Trustee with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal
amount of the Notes then outstanding and any


                                      B-5
<PAGE>


existing default or compliance with any provision may be waived in a particular
instance with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of
the Notes (including Additional Notes, if any) then outstanding. Without the
consent of Holders, the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee may amend the
Indenture or the Notes or supplement the Indenture for certain specified
purposes including providing for uncertificated Notes in addition to
certificated Notes, and curing any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, or making
any other change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Holder.

13.     DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES.

                  If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee
or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of Notes then
outstanding may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately in the
manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. Holders of Notes may not
enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. The
Trustee may require indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it before it enforces
the Indenture or the Notes. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding may direct
the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from
Holders of Notes notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default (except a
Default in payment of principal or interest) if it determines that withholding
notice is in their interest.

14.     TRUSTEE DEALINGS WITH THE COMPANY.

                  The Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any
other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services
for the Company, any Guarantor or their Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with
the Company, any Guarantor or their Affiliates, as if it were not Trustee.

15.     NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS.

                  As more fully described in the Indenture, a director, officer,
employee or stockholder, as such, of the Company or any Guarantor shall not have
any liability for any obligations of the Company or any Guarantor under the
Notes or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect or by reason of,
such obligations or their creation. The Holder of this Note by accepting this
Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of
the consideration for the issuance of this Note.

16.     DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE.

                  The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance of the entire
indebtedness on this Note and for defeasance of certain covenants in the
Indenture upon compliance by the Company with certain conditions set forth in
the Indenture.

the new beneficial owner as follows:


                           Name:
                                 --------------------------------------


                           Address:
                                    -----------------------------------


                           Taxpayer ID Number :
                                               ------------------------

                  The undersigned represents and warrants to you that:

                  1. We are an institutional "accredited investor" (as defined
in Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "Securities Act")) purchasing for our own account or for the account of
such an institutional "accredited investor" at least $250,000 principal amount
of the Notes, and we are acquiring the Notes not with a view to, or for offer or
sale in connection with, any distribution in violation of the Securities Act. We
have such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be
capable of evaluating the merits and risk of our investment in the Notes and
invest in or purchase securities similar to the Notes in the normal course of
our business. We and any accounts for which we are acting are each able to bear
the economic risk of our or its investment.

                  2. We understand that the Notes have not been registered under
the Securities Act and, unless so registered, may not be sold except as
permitted in the following sentence. We agree on our own behalf and on behalf of
any investor account for which we are purchasing


                                       C-1
<PAGE>


Notes to offer, sell or otherwise transfer such Notes prior to the date which is
two years after the later of the date of original issue and the last date on
which the Company or any affiliate of the Company was the owner of such Notes
(or any predecessor thereto) (the "Resale Restriction Termination Date") only
(a) to the Company, (b) pursuant to a registration statement that has been
declared effective under the Securities Act, (c) for so long as the securities
are eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act, to a
person we reasonably believe is a "qualified institutional buyer" as defined in
Rule 144A under the Securities Act that purchases for its own account or for the
account of a qualified institutional buyer to whom notice is given that the
transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A, (d) pursuant to offers and
sales that occur outside the United States within the meaning of Regulation S
under the Securities Act, (e) to an institutional "accredited investor" within
the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act that is
an institutional accredited investor acquiring the security for its own account
or for the account of such an institutional accredited investor, in each case in
a minimum principal amount of the securities of $250,000, for investment
purposes and not with a view to or for offer or sale in connection with any
distribution in violation of the Securities Act, or (f) pursuant to another
available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act,
subject to the Company's and the Trustee's right prior to any such offer, sale
or transfer pursuant to clause (e) or (f) to require the delivery of an opinion
of counsel, certification and/or other information satisfactory to each of them.
The foregoing restrictions on resale will not apply subsequent to the Resale
